In the afternoon.

Record Society Everyone entered the utility room and prepared to watch the movie.

Stork, Sparrow, Seagull and Oystercatcher checked their belongings and sat on the sofa. Gilan walked to the projector and placed <Moon-Scorched Village#1> True Film Reel on it.

After plugging in a brand new Mercury Battery that Mr. Stork had prepared in advance, he raised his hand and flipped the switch.

Click.

The shuttle rotates, and the light box emits light and casts it on the curtain.

Gilan turned off the light in the utility room, walked to the corner of the room, and sat on the chair belonging to Old Jerry.

He did not participate in the viewing this time, but served as an on-site caregiver.

First of all, Gilan is already quite familiar with this movie and does not intend to waste time exploring it slowly. If he wants to watch it, he only plans to watch it alone, which will make it easier to hunt monsters and Corruption collect Mystery Points.

Secondly, he wanted to give it a try.

This attempt stems from a movie viewing rule Mr. Stork told him:

"After the movie is officially played, except for the first viewers, no other viewers can join in the middle."

Gilan had a suspicion at that time.

Since "Iridescence" can leave the movie at any time, can it also allow him to enter the movie at any time?

For this reason, he made an excuse and did not participate in watching the movie together. Instead, he temporarily took over Old Jerry's job and was responsible for guarding the scene.

Old Jerry is just an ordinary person. Gnosis is not enough to see the movie screen. We can only judge the awakening time by observing the reactions of the Assembly people.

But Gilan is better qualified for this job.

Mr. Stork and others are also very happy with this.

In the quiet utility room, the projector made a slight noise.

The Assembly The four people were sitting in the darkness, and the bright light of the movie covered their faces like a veil, illuminating their ecstasy expressions. The picture reflected in the pupils of the four people was an old-fashioned train driving into the forest.

Gilan remains silent.

After waiting for a moment, he turned to look at the curtain.

This time he saw it clearly. In the VIP compartment of the train, four people named Mr. Stork suddenly appeared.

Correspondingly, the old man in black suit, the fat man in red suit and the gothic girl were missing from the other passengers.

And Gilan has not entered the movie world.

'It's exactly what Mr. Stork said.'

He looked at it for a while and called out "Iridescence" in his heart.

A distorted colored light suddenly appeared in his sight. This light covered the movie screen, forming a filter-like effect, which seemed to respond.

Gilan's eyes lit up.

His guess was right!

"Iridescence" can indeed get him in at any time!

'Well, it's another trump card.' Gilan secretly said.

Next, he simply watched the movie quietly as a bystander.

Mr. Stork and others followed their pre-planned plan and deliberately made friends with three other passengers after the train stopped mysteriously.

The movie has sound, and Gilan heard their dialogue clearly.

These three people are two men and one woman.

They are the strong man in the green jacket, Junio·Casso, a professional boxer; the beret young man, Kulin·Pike, a veteran; and the lady in the gray skirt, Olin·Bonet, a foreign reporter.

The seven of them formed a temporary team and discussed how to act together.

The previous plot was almost the same as what Gilan experienced. Most people chose to stay in the open space next to the train and wait for rescue, while a small number of people chose to explore a way out.

However, Gilan took the initiative to go deep into the forest every time, so he had no idea what happened to others.

This time, he saw it.

Those waiting for rescue were soon attacked by the Tribute Wolf group!

But these people were not simple, and each used their own methods to escape for their lives in all directions.

The three train passengers who teamed up with the Assembly were even more impressive.

The boxer Junio defeated two Tribute Wolf with his own strength. His physique and strength are strong, and his fighting skills are superb. He is definitely at the level of a Emblem fighter.

Veteran Kulin has superb marksmanship. He took out a modified Luger, and the bullets were flawless. He is at least a Instructor level shooter.

As for the female reporter Olin, it seemed that she did not take action, but she calculated the best escape route in just a few seconds, calmly proposed an evacuation plan, and allocated manpower reasonably.

Coupled with the considerable combat power of Mr. Stork and his party, they easily killed the six attacking Tribute Wolfs and fled along the train track in a direction that Gilan had never gone before.

'Huh?' Gilan was surprised.

Perhaps the Apocalyptic Dream guidance on the first night of the journey impressed him so much that he always thought that the only way to go was to go deep into the forest and go to Oldraf Village.

I didn't expect that I could take another route along the train tracks.

'My thinking is rigid.' He shook his head. 'It's Mr. Stork's proposal and plan that opened up a new strategy direction.'

The time flow rate of the movie is obviously different from reality. Gilan only watched seven or eight minutes, but in the actual movie world, nearly half an hour has passed.

Although the screen has cut to Mr. Stork and his group trekking on the track, Gilan still remembers the scene just now. Eight or nine Tribute Wolf bodies were left in the open space next to the train.

Gilan smiled, he would not let it go.

There is a ready-made Mystery Points, so there is no reason why he should not take it.

'Iridescence, intervene.'

He called out in his heart and looked at the curtain intently.

Swish...

The cool breeze in the forest blew the tips of Gilan's hair, and in just a blink of an eye, he found himself standing next to the train.

The smell of blood was all around, and there was no one around.

There were only Tribute Wolf corpses scattered around.

Gilan was overjoyed and stepped forward quickly, reaching out to touch the corpses of the gray-haired monsters one by one. Under the colorful light, the corpses flew Corruption away quickly.

The number in the corner of his eyes was jumping, and when all the corpses were finished Corruption, it seemed to be "21".

'Iridescence, Exit.'

Gilan secretly said again.

Soon, in the blink of an eye, he found himself sitting back on the chair in the utility room, and everything was as usual.

The only change was that his head was a little dizzy and his spirit was a little tired.

Gilan speculates that this may be a price for using "Iridescence" to enter and exit the movie world, which prevents him from using this ability too frequently.

After resting for a while, he looked up at the curtain again.

In the movie, Mr. Stork and others have walked to a seaside, and the outline of a wooden pile wall can be vaguely seen on the left, which seems to be not far from Oldraf Village.

On the beach along the coast, there were a large number of human corpses lying on the ground.

At first glance, there are more than a hundred objects!

Groups of Seagull flapped their wings and pecked at the rotting and stinking corpses. The scene was quite horrifying.

Not only the two ladies Sparrow and Seagull turned pale, but also the other men were shocked by this scene. Mr. Oystercatcher was not even in the mood to make fun of Miss Seagull with those "Seagull".

"Look at the clothes of those corpses, do they look like nearby townspeople?"

In the movie, Mr. Stork spoke in a deep voice.

But the female reporter Olin took out a monocular telescope and looked towards the shore. After a while, her face changed and she shouted softly:

"Let's go! There is a large group of unidentified thugs coming towards us!"

The group of people looked at the shore from a distance, and sure enough they saw a dense crowd of figures appearing from nowhere and moving towards this side.

Gilan stood up and approached the curtain.

He took a closer look and recognized the identities of the thugs.

The dead wolf hood, the dirty linen robe, the hand-held saw blade and the bone-chopping knife and other hideous weapons, aren't they exactly the "Heavenly Bane Cult" Cultist that Gilan has encountered before!

Mr. Stork and others made a quick decision and hid in the forest on the left, then walked forward around the train track, trying to avoid the route of the thugs.

However, according to the movie routine, accidents always happen suddenly.

It was at this moment that the shouts of "Hello" and "Is there anyone there" rang out in the forest again, and everyone's expressions changed as they were once again surrounded by the Tribute Wolf group.

With a bang, veteran Kulin was forced to fire back.

The sound of gunshots attracted the attention of Cultist. Soon, Mr. Stork and others were faced with great pressure, and there were many crises for a while.

The seven people first tried their best to get through the surprise attack of the Tribute Wolf group, and then were besieged by dozens of Cultist, almost everyone was injured.

Seeing this, Gilan probably woke up the Assembly members from watching the movie.

But before that, he planned to go in again and Corruption those corpses.

Thank you for the 500-point reward from "If there are flowers and branches, they must be broken off"!
