Don't Talk, Keep Watching

Xia Yun and Deng Tao's expressions changed.

Because they recognized the woman who appeared on the screen.

That woman was Liu Ye, the girl from the couple who didn't come to the movie theater.

Liu Ye's expression was one of fear.

After all, she had suddenly arrived in an unfamiliar place, was locked up and unable to leave, and couldn't get through on the phone.

Anyone would feel fear.

After the initial panic subsided, Liu Ye began trying various methods to save herself.

The first step was to try and find an exit from the room.

The balcony and windows were locked.

Liu Ye wandered around inside but couldn't find a way out.

Just then, she suddenly heard the sound of running water coming from the bathroom.

It sounded like something was filled with water, and the sound of water overflowing was heard.

Liu Ye then carefully approached the bathroom.

The audience below the stage also became tense along with her.

After all, judging from the formula of some suspenseful horror movies, some terrifying scenes will appear next.

Liu Ye walked to the bathroom door, which was not completely closed, but left a gap about a hand's width wide.

She couldn't see anyone in the bathroom through the gap.

So she boldly pushed the door open completely.

At this moment, the sound of flowing water inside grew louder and louder, so she looked to her left.

There was a large bathtub on the left, filled with water that had overflowed.

Liu Ye was about to go closer to turn off the water, but as she approached, her gaze inadvertently swept over the bottom of the bathtub.

There was a dark object lying at the bottom of the bathtub, it looked like a person...

Liu Ye couldn't help but scream.

She stumbled back a few steps, bumping into the door behind her, which slammed shut with a bang.

As more and more water overflowed from the bathtub, it gradually turned from clear water to red water.

There was a person inside, and he was dead.

The moment this thought crossed Liu Ye's mind, Liu Ye became even more frightened.

She quickly opened the door and fled the bathroom without a second thought.

The audience below the stage was completely engrossed in watching.

Deng Tao frowned, as if he had thought of something.

Xia Yun, standing nearby, immediately remarked, "If nothing unexpected happens, then the person in the bathtub must be Liu Ye's ex-boyfriend, right?"

Deng Tao sighed.

If these two people had listened to advice and come to the cinema, they would only be audience members now, instead of appearing directly on the screen.

Mi Lan munched on popcorn.

As the film played, the eerie atmosphere grew stronger and stronger, eventually enveloping the audience.

Next, these viewers will likely become part of the story.

Thirty audience members were seated in the theater, and one hundred and seventy seats remained empty.

Xia Yun felt a chill run down her spine. She reached up and touched her arm, where the hairs stood on end.

Her sixth sense told her that something had appeared around her.

Xia Yun used the corner of her eye to observe the surroundings of the cinema.

It was then discovered that while the audience was engrossed in watching the movie, a dark figure had appeared and sat in the empty seats.

As the video played, people clapped and cheered loudly, their body language becoming quite animated, as if they were very excited.

Xia Yun felt a chill run down her spine.

Are all those dark figures eerie?

She looked at Mi Lan, wanting to see the senior's reaction.

But they found Mi Lan thoroughly enjoying the movie, and she had already eaten half of that big bucket of popcorn.

Deng Tao wasn't as perceptive as her, and his attention was focused on the screen, so he hadn't noticed the empty seats around him. He hadn't yet noticed the shadowy figures sitting around them, subtly surrounding the audience.

They say ignorance is bliss, Deng Tao is clearly much more at ease than she is.

Xia Yun was about to speak when she whispered about the situation around them.

Mi Lan interrupted her without even looking, "Don't talk, keep watching."

His lips curled into a smile as he chewed popcorn incessantly.

They chose seats in the third-to-last row.

There was a distance between them and the audience in front of them.

As a result, they were almost completely surrounded by the shadows around them.

As Mi Lan spoke, the shadowy figures around him turned their heads, their faces, which were obscured, staring intently at him.

Xia Yun swallowed hard, her heart leaping into her throat.

Can't you speak?

The surrounding shadows made no other moves, but their eyes remained fixed on Mi Lan Mi Lan, as if they would pounce and tear Mi Lan mouth apart if she uttered another word.

People who are less timid would probably break down emotionally under such scrutiny.

At the very least, Xia Yun, who is quite sensitive, would find it impossible to sit still under such scrutiny.

But the person being stared at was Mi Lan, who had a smile on his face the whole time, as if he was enjoying being watched.

Mi Lan sped up her eating.

The crunching sound of teeth biting into the popcorn was very loud, and we quickly finished the rest of the popcorn.

On the screen.

Liu Ye searched the room but still couldn't find a way out, so she could only shrink into a corner, looking utterly dejected.

Ring ring! Ring ring!

Just then, the phone in the living room rang.

Liu Ye was startled and looked at the phone.

Answer or not answer?

What if the person calling is the murderer who kidnapped her?

Or perhaps someone else is calling, and she can answer and ask for help.

Liu Ye dared not make any rash moves.

Because the current situation is extremely bizarre.

But the phone kept ringing, as if it wouldn't stop until she answered it.

The ringing grew increasingly shrill and louder.

Liu Ye trembled with fear, covering her ears with her hands, too afraid to listen or look.

Beep... beep... beep...

Finally, the ringing stopped, and after a few beeps, a voice came from the phone. "Madam Qin, hello, it's a pleasure to meet you."

"You haven't been here long, have you? It must be tough raising two kids all by yourself. If you need any help, feel free to ask me; I live right next door."

This statement is somewhat nonsensical.

It appears to be a recording that is played on a fixed schedule.

After the broadcast ended, the living room fell silent again.

However, Xia Yun could clearly see that after the words were played, the surrounding shadows became even more excited. Some of them even stood up and raised their hands, seemingly cheering for the brilliance of the film.

If they hadn't remained silent, they probably would have been discovered by others long ago.

Mi Lan clapped her hands, brushing away the remaining crumbs.

"Alright, time to get to work."

Xia Yun looked at him in surprise. Wasn't he unable to speak?

Several dark figures stared at Mi Lan, then suddenly reached out and grabbed Mi Lan.

It's not just Mi Lan.

The shadowy figures surrounding the audience all made the same movement.

Xia Yun suppressed her urge to avoid them and let the shadowy figures reach out to grab her.

She felt something extremely cold grab her, then everything went black, and when she reappeared, she was in the living room of a room.
