C1 (1/2)

When I was a kid, my uncle worked in a movie theater and told me one thing. He said that one night a man in a movie theater suddenly died.

What was shown was not a horror movie, and the man's body had always been normal before he died.

I asked why.

Uncle said he didn't know, and even the police couldn't find out why.

Then he told me not to go back to the cinema and he quit himself.

He said it wasn't clean.

I was too young to understand.

Then my uncle said something that impressed me: Don't look at the movie theater.

That is the truth.

Regardless of whether there were ghosts or not, in reality, strange things would happen in some lively places.

Fear pervaded every corner of life.

The first story was about the cinema.

cinemas

Bai Tong Jie, fifty-one years old, Southerner. In the late 1990s, a small movie theater was opened in a county town called ”Tong Jie Film City”.

It was located next to a teahouse, in a total of five movie halls.

In those days, all the movies were the same. There was a movie theater in a small place, which was quite strange. As a result, in the first few years, the cinema business was quite good.

Bai Dianjie also once became a famous figure in the county, calling him Boss Bai.

Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. Within a few years, two large cinemas were opened, and the equipment and technology were all in the lead. The once glorious Tong Jie Cinema soon became unpopular.

When the business was in a mess, Boss Bai even went to the ticket office and took charge of cleaning and maintenance of the lights, doing a few jobs on his own.

Later, when he saw that business was too poor, he had to change his mind and give up his prime time. He would just do the midnight scene and the cinema would open from midnight until the early hours of the morning. What movies? They were basically horror movies, or small movies where large cinemas didn't come out, and they played all sorts of dribbles.

As a result, cinemas save costs and attract an audience that can barely make a living.

This kind of life continued all the way until one day, Boss Bai met a strange woman.

It was raining heavily that night, so the business was extremely quiet. Just as he was dozing off, he saw a woman in a raincoat outside the window. She handed him the money and said she wanted to buy a ticket.

Because he was wearing a hat, Boss Bai couldn't see the other party's face clearly. He could just ask which scene to watch, and the other party would be able to answer any question.

Thus, Boss Bai picked out an old movie and let the projector start up.

As it turned out, there was no one else on the scene this time, and the woman became the chartered one.

The movie was relatively short. When it was almost over, Boss Bai went to the movie hall to turn on the lights and clean up.

He was a man of great care, and would have treated him the same way even if he had been a spectator.

At the door of the theater, where the film was still ending, he stood and waited, as he always did.

He glanced casually, but there was no sign of the woman. Generally speaking, the audience would prefer the middle seats, especially the seats reserved for one person. It was even more impossible for them to choose a corner seat.

Boss Bai touched his head, guessing that the woman might have left early, but he felt that something was wrong. Just as he was wondering, he saw a shadow on the last row of seats. It was the woman!

It was not surprising that someone liked the last row of seats, but Boss Bai was still very surprised because the woman was sitting cross-legged with her back to the screen, facing the back wall of the theater.

She was still wearing her raincoat, which was still wet.

He didn't understand, how could there be someone who would turn around to watch a movie? Could it be that he had eyes on the back of his head?

When the movie ended and the woman stood up to leave, Boss Bai was still stunned on the spot.

After that, the woman would come every few days, always around midnight, wearing a raincoat and sitting in the last row with her back to the screen. Over time, Boss Bai got used to it and decided that there was something wrong with that woman's mind.

However, during this period, Boss Bai had never really observed that woman's face, only noticing her expression. In the dark environment, she would smile from time to time, then seriously, while her body movements would always be stiff.

Finally, one day, when Boss Bai couldn't resist his curiosity, he decided to take a good look at what the woman was looking at on the back wall.

That night, including the woman, there were a total of five people in the Shadow Hall. Boss Bai purposely arrived fifteen minutes earlier and sat on the side of the last row.

The woman remained in her usual position, her back to the screen.

As for the other four audiences, they were all sitting in the middle of the theater and no one paid attention to Boss Bai or that woman.

After five minutes of brewing, Boss Bai slowly walked behind the woman. He had already thought of the wording.

”What's the matter, sister?”

At the same time, he looked at the back wall. It was pitch black and there was nothing on it.

The woman did not look back.

Only when Boss Bai reached out to put a hand on her shoulder did she slowly turn around and take off her rain hat.

Boss Bai was frightened and took a step back because what he saw was a lifeless face!

The woman's eyes were bulging, her head was distorted, and her face looked as if it had been pieced together with pieces.

Only then did Boss Bai recall that not long ago, a car accident occurred in the vicinity of the cinema. A woman had her head crushed by a truck tire and died on the spot.

Afterwards, Boss Bai specifically asked a distant relative who was proficient in feng shui for advice. That relative told him that even though the movie theater was bustling with activity, in reality, it was filled with a rather sinister atmosphere. When ghosts go to the cinema, they usually sit on their backs, because the screen they watch is the back wall, which is the opposite of the living. From the back wall, the ghosts could see their own experiences.

After listening to the conversation, Boss Bai was frightened. Soon, he fell ill and died very soon after.

As for Tong Jie Film City, it was later taken over by a boss, but under this name, it continued to run midnight movies.

On the other hand, although the cinema rumored to be haunted, the business was not affected. Instead, it became a hot topic of discussion and increased the visibility of the people. However, when people go in and out of the cinema, they pay more attention to the weird behavior of the audience, especially those who sit on their backs and watch movies.

There are always exceptions, but that's the next story.
