Chapter 002: Horror Movies

Until this moment, only a few of the protagonists truly believed in the fact that they had encountered ghosts. Their cries for help immediately turned pale, leaving only the sound of choked sobs and wails.

At this moment, among the six of them, only Zhang Fengyu remained watching the film.

They continuously suggested to themselves in their minds that they could act freely, implying that those corpses did not exist. During this process, they were pleasantly surprised to find that they had indeed regained their ability to move. Upon realizing that their bodies had regained freedom, the few of them naturally would not remain in place any longer. However, just as they left their original seats, they saw that the corpses, which had previously been some distance away, had suddenly appeared right beside them, now only a mere arm's length away.

The repulsive corpses crawled out incessantly, each one that emerged replacing an audience member seated in front. It was evident that, as time passed, those corpses would eventually reach their side, and then, like the fate of those audience members, be devoured and replaced by the corpses. The protagonists were on the brink of collapse; some were crying out in prayer, others were trembling as they recited scriptures, and still others were sobbing in supplication. Yet the undeniable reality before them was that the corpses were now closer to their position.

After watching for a while, he understood the general plot of the movie. The main characters of this film consist of six individuals, several of whom are university students. Feeling quite bored during the holiday, they decided to go to the cinema, intending to stimulate their senses by watching a horror film. However, little did they know that they had mistakenly entered a haunted house.

The film was played here, and the audience in the cinema collectively exclaimed: "Ahーー!"

Zhang Fengyu's gaze remained fixed on the screen, breathless as he watched the scenes unfold, some thrilling and others mundane.

From the screen, a continuous stream of repulsive corpses emerged, each one decayed and rotting. Their two bloodshot eyes, resembling broken kites, hung limply on their faces. Each time they crawled out from the screen, several pieces of bloodied flesh would fall from their bodies.

The minced meat made a muffled thud upon hitting the ground, splattering the screen with those disgusting red strands.

However, what Zhang Fengyu did not notice was that Wang Li, who was originally the most timid among them, showed not a trace of panic on his face. His eyes were fixed intently on the screen ahead, and a strange arc was drawn at the corner of his plump mouth.

Under the relentless erosion of fear, one among them finally could not endure any longer, and he was seen crying out as he rushed to the side, driven mad by these corpse demons. However, he had barely run two meters when a bloodied hand seized him, and the decaying corpse that had caught him pulled him back once more, regardless of how he struggled, he could not escape. Ultimately, this person was forcefully pulled into the mouth by the two bloody claws of the corpse, and then, as if tearing paper, the corpse ripped him apart from his mouth down to the soles of his feet.

Zhang Fengyu was truly at a loss for words regarding these few individuals. Although it was said that one could watch the movie for free as long as they held the promotional flyer, at the very least, they should pay attention. He felt that the horror elements of the film were quite effective. He chose to ignore them and redirected his focus to the movie, curious to see whether the protagonists would devise a way to escape or simply wait to meet their demise, becoming an unsolvable horror film.

In the end, this person stated that everything they are currently seeing is merely an illusion created in their minds

After a moment of false alarm, Zhang Fengyu's restless heart returned to calmness, and he continued to watch the film with a slight frown. The subsequent plot developments were somewhat unexpected for Zhang Fengyu; in his assumptions, the characters surrounding the protagonists should have been ghosts, but what followed resembled the eerie atmosphere of "The Ring".

As the movie reached this point, Zhang Fengyu suddenly felt a chill run down his back. The fear that he had previously suppressed surged forth once again from the depths of his heart. The reason was simple: the plot of the movie bore an uncanny resemblance to the experiences of the six of them that day. They were all six male university students, and their initial reason for coming to the cinema was simply boredom. Everything was astonishingly similar to this film. Fortunately, in the cinema they were in, there were still some voices of living people talking; otherwise, he would not merely feel a bit of fear at this moment.

As for the subsequent plot of the movie, Zhang Fengyu secretly began to speculate in his heart. However, before making any guesses, he cautiously glanced around at the audience, and only when he saw that they were behaving normally did he feel relieved. It is understandable that Zhang Fengyu would think this way, as their experiences today were strikingly similar to the plot of the movie. Such an astonishing coincidence could not help but draw his attention.

As for the audience in front of them, they had all been replaced by the corpses, now transformed into repulsive decaying bodies. The protagonists found themselves in a truly critical situation; they wanted to escape but dared not do so, for the corpses had already approached them, and taking even a single step away would result in being caught by the corpses.

At the beginning, the main characters were unaware that they were in a haunted house. Even during the viewing, they engaged in conversation with the audience members sitting beside them, discussing the various dull aspects of the horror film. However, despite their lengthy discourse, it was always them doing the talking, while the surrounding audience completely ignored them. No matter how loudly the main characters spoke, those audience members remained silent, their expressions uniformly blank, staring intently at the large screen with a vacant look.

At this moment, this person proposed the meaning of idealism, believing that ghosts are products of idealism, merely existing because one subconsciously thinks they do, and not existing if one believes they do not. In simpler terms, ghosts are monsters formed by the fusion of their fears, and the reason they are unable to act is due to their subconscious fear of being unable to escape from this place, which is why ghosts create this invisible bondage for them.

The several protagonists in the film were instantly terrified and lost their composure upon seeing the decaying corpses crawling out, as if they had lost their souls and were desperately trying to escape towards the exit. However, just as they attempted to rise, they were horrified to discover that an invisible iron plate seemed to be pressing down on them, and no matter how hard they struggled, they could not get up.

According to his perspective, this film is likely to be an unresolved horror movie, as unresolved horror films focus on the terrifying process of the ghost committing murder, rather than the final outcome. In contrast, resolved horror films are concerned with the very process of the person escaping the ghost's pursuit or the act of killing the ghost.

At this moment, the beautiful woman sitting beside Prince Jiang and Li Jian directly threw herself into their arms, causing both men to be instantly stirred with romantic feelings and completely lose interest in the movie. They hurriedly seized the opportunity to get closer to the woman. In contrast, Wang Li was incessantly shouting, his cries no less than the sound of a pig being slaughtered. Naturally, Zhao Jinglan and Hong Bo, sitting on either side of him, were dissatisfied and soon launched an attack on Wang Li.

Gradually, the main characters finally discovered the strangeness of this cinema. They realized that since they entered, the only sounds coming from the cinema were their own, while the other audience members not only had not made a sound, but their eyes had not even blinked once!

As the film began to screen, the once noisy cinema suddenly fell silent. Everyone around was fixated on the screen, and not a single extraneous sound could be heard, creating an atmosphere of utter stillness.

third, fourth, fifth

The man who had clearly been killed by the corpse just moments ago now sat there in a daze, a strange curve at the corner of his mouth, his gaze murky as he blankly stared at the screen in front of him, while his white shirt was splattered with his own blood

Several protagonists found themselves at a loss, so upon hearing this person's suggestion, they could only treat a dead horse as if it were a live one. They began to engage in self-suggestion, striving to diminish the fear within their hearts, deliberately ignoring the decaying corpses that were rapidly approaching them

As the movie reached this point, Zhang Fengyu's palms had unknowingly begun to sweat coldly. He even started to feel sympathy for the protagonists in the film, as it was nothing short of sheer torment. If those corpses were to crawl out of the screen and immediately kill the protagonists, it would not be as terrifying as it is now. It is the fact that they keep crawling out of the screen, gradually getting closer to the protagonists, that is truly the most frightening aspect.

Ahーー ! ''

The five individuals, Wang Zi, Hong Bo, Wang Li, Li Jian, and Zhao Jinglan, have completely disregarded the plot development of the movie. Instead, they have begun to collaborate with one another, playfully mocking the beautiful woman. In an instant, their laughter echoed continuously, showing no trace of fear whatsoever

This time, several main characters observed very clearly that the recently emerged corpse appeared in the first seat of the second row, and the audience member who had just been sitting there was swallowed whole by the corpse as it opened its gaping maw... However, the corpses continued on...

As for the corpses that had crawled out from the screen earlier, they vanished the moment they fully emerged. However, the main characters soon discovered in horror that the first row of the audience had inexplicably transformed into those very corpses that had just crawled out from the screen. Yet, more corpses continued to crawl out, and another corpse splattered fresh red blood as it struggled out from the screen, only to disappear in a flash.

After several protagonists attempted various means without success, some of them had already fallen into despair. Fortunately, among them, there was one person whose mind remained relatively calm. In this moment of crisis, he unexpectedly maintained his composure and thought of a way to escape from here

The bloody scene completely shattered the fragile nerves of the remaining few, but what terrified them even more was yet to come. Just after that person was killed, the corpse that had originally been sitting beside them suddenly transformed into the person who had just met a tragic end. Upon witnessing this, the remaining individuals were so weak in the legs that they fell to the ground before they could even scream.

At this point, the main characters were completely terrified, their desperate cries for help echoing all around, but the strange behavior of those nearby clearly offered them no assistance. After calling out for a while, someone finally thought to take out their phone to call the police, but upon retrieving the phone, they discovered it was already turned off, and no matter how they tried, it could not be powered on. All five of them were in the same situation, with not a single exception.

As a famous saying goes, death is not actually terrifying; however, when you know the manner of your death and the time of your demise, the process of slowly waiting for death becomes the most terrifying thing in the world. The protagonists in the film are clearly experiencing this terror.

In an instant, blood gushed forth like a hot spring, making the red on the surrounding seats appear even more sinister
