Chapter 56 - Easter Egg (1/2)
Before leaving the movie, Su Min finally remembered the movie critics and media that were in the same movie theatre. He felt that he probably won’t be the only one in the room when he opened his eyes.
And he indeed wasn’t alone.
The moment he opened his eyes, he saw a group of people sitting in front of him. They stared at him like they were observing an orangutan in a zoo.
The man right in front of him said: “He’s awake. Looking at the time, it seems to be similar to the length of the original movie. He probably lived until the end.”
The person on the left said: “Excuse me, may I ask this gentleman how you managed to live until the end? Can you reveal some details?”
Goosebumps formed all across Su Min’s arms.
These movie critics were actually waiting for him for come out to ask him a few questions, but he took too long and they got very sleepy.
He quickly removed his helmet and got up from his seat.
“Is this gentleman leaving? Can you tell us how you managed to live until the end? We can discuss……..”
The lights in the theatre turned on and the ending credits started to play on the big screen.
Su Min wasn’t in the mood to watch. He quickly shuffled out and ignored the people chasing after him.
A staff just happened to walk over. He exclaimed excitedly: “Mr. Su you managed to live until the end again! You have won every battle!”
Only one person managed to succeed in this entire theatre. You didn’t need to think to know that they must be very amazing.
Su Min felt that he had heard this line before.
But when he saw the staffs excited look, he couldn’t bear tearing it down. He mulled over it and thought that it probably might have been from a congratulatory message from the cinema.
In any case, it was spoken sincerely.
Su Min had not left yet when the movie critics and media left the theatre behind him.
He even saw several envious looks.
The staff next to Su Min whispered: “Please don’t mind it Mr. Su. They’re like that because they didn’t succeed.”
The director of “Death Show” had invited a total of 16 movie critics and 8 members of the media.
Six of the movie critics and three members of the media died at the hotel and didn’t even manage to get to the main part of the movie.
The remaining film critics and members of the media were either eaten when they tried to flee, or they were turned into bones. Others were unfortunately selected by the clown and killed.
It could be said that they met very unfortunate endings.
Su Min: “……………”
For a moment, he couldn’t find the right words to describe their misery. Afterall, it was really unlucky to be selected and it was also unavoidable. He had only managed to escape that fate because of Chen Su.
The difficulty of holographic viewing of this movie wasn’t low.
Because there are very few people who weren’t afraid of ghosts, when faced with such an immersive experience, they would naturally reveal their weaknesses and end up dying first.
For Su Min, it was because he had experience that he didn’t do anything excessive.
The staff analysed: “In fact, several of them chose to watch it with a friend but they ended up having a fight and meeting a terrible ending.”
Su Min wondered: “There were actually several of them?”
He had thought that they would tackle it alone. One group even got into a fight. In a horror movie like this, it’s basically asking for death.
The staff laughed and didn’t say anything.
Su Min thought for a moment and said: “Then I’m going back. I might be back again after the score is out.”
The staff said: “You definitely will.”
Although he wasn’t the one giving the scores, he knew that if he was able to survive until the end, the score for it would definitely be good.
After exiting out the corridor, there weren’t many people outside.
Su Min looked at the ticket sales on his phone. “Death Show” was just released and its film rating appears to be okay.
As usual, he bought the earliest session and then went out to the mall to have a quick bite while browsing through some real-time comments on Weibo.
“I didn’t understand it at all. I was frightened the whole time. What was this movie trying to say?”
“You guys were all watching for the plot. Was I the only one wondering if anyone watching it through the holographic viewing managed to live until the end?”
“I understood it hahaha. In fact, it wasn’t that hard to understand. The answer was basically right there in front of you.”
“Justice to brotherhood. I thought it was a female protagonist, so I really didn’t expect that twist.”
“………”
Seeing that last comment about twists and brotherhood, Su Min was a little confused.
But eating was more important, so he didn’t pay it too much attention. He went into a Sichuan skewer store. Although he didn’t know if the taste was authentic or not, it was delicious.
Su Min belonged to the group of people who enjoyed spicy food, but his family couldn’t take much of it.
So, when he’s at home the housekeeper would cook his and his parent’s food separately. If they put them together to eat, his parents wouldn’t be able to take it.
After eating the skewers, there were still more than ten minutes.
While the movie hadn’t started yet, he went over to the poster.
Before he came, he didn’t pay any attention to the poster of this horror movie. The two people standing at the front were indeed Li Chi Yu and Le Ling.
Behind them was a small dirt mound and black fog loomed in the distance. Through the dark fog you could faintly see the shape of the performance venue built using human bones.
In all fairness, the poster looked pretty good.
Su Min looked at the cast. He didn’t recognise these two actors. This could also be because he didn’t pay much attention to the entertainment industry.
Thinking this, he searched online.
The results of his search shocked him.
Turns out, the actor for Le Ling was a man. Perhaps it was because of his lack of fame and also because this movie was a horror movie and they didn’t reveal much of the backstory, not many people noticed.
Su Min felt speechless.
Now that he thought about it, was the Le Ling in the movie a female or a male?
