Secretly taking photos was a very rude thing to do.
What Chris had not expected, however, was that after the Black man was hit by his camera flash, he suddenly charged at him like he had gone insane.
He even shouted, "Get out! Leave this town!"
The others nearby quickly dragged the Black man away.
Ruth's father came over and explained to Chris that the man had epilepsy, and the flash had triggered a seizure.
But Chris knew that could not have been epilepsy.
There was something wrong with this town.
Chris found his girlfriend and told her what he thought.
Yet Ruth trusted her father unusually deeply and denied Chris's suspicions.
By this point in the movie, everyone present had been drawn in by the story. They desperately wanted to know what exactly was happening in this town.
Black people who behaved like white people, a Black maid who smiled while crying, and Ruth's mother, who knew hypnosis.
Inside the theater, the Black audience members who had originally been so noisy were now engrossed in the plot, barely daring to breathe too loudly.
Such a scene was simply rare to witness.
Whenever a Black audience member made noise, their friends nearby would glare at them until they quieted down.
After Ruth dismissed his suspicions, Chris no longer wanted to stay in the town. It felt far too eerie to him and made him deeply uneasy.
Chris directly told Ruth that he wanted to leave.
Though Ruth was unhappy, she reluctantly agreed.
Seeing Ruth agree, Chris finally smiled happily.
The scene shifted, gradually revealing the town's secret in Ruth's family's yard.
Ruth's father was holding a silent auction, and the item being auctioned was a photograph of Chris.
But every viewer could tell from what the scene left unsaid that they were actually auctioning off Chris himself.
Chris returned to Ruth's house, picked up the phone, and called his friend who was a police officer.
He described the Black man's appearance to his friend and told him about all the strange things that had happened.
Based on Chris's description, his friend quickly identified the man.
He was a Black man who had been missing for several months.
"Run, Chris!"
A viewer could not help shouting. The Black male lead gave them an unprecedented sense of immersion. Now that Chris was in danger, it felt as if they themselves were in danger.
Upon learning this, Chris felt an inexplicable fear rise within him.
That fear made him impatiently call for his girlfriend, preparing to flee the place.
"Idiot, can't you tell? Ruth is in on it with them!"
The viewers had been completely swept up in the emotions of the film and worried for Chris, who still did not know the truth.
After packing his luggage, Chris headed outside with his girlfriend.
But when they reached the downstairs area, they found Ruth's entire family guarding the door, their faces wearing terrifying expressions.
Just as Chris was about to fight back, Ruth's mother used her terrifying hypnosis again. With only a light tap on a glass, Chris immediately lost consciousness.
When Chris woke again, he was tied to a chair, with only a television in front of him.
A white old man suddenly appeared on the television and revealed the truth to Chris.
It turned out that the people in this town, in their pursuit of immortality, had made a wish to the devil and gained a special ability. Through a special operation, they could transplant white brains into the strong bodies of Black people, thereby gaining the rest of their lives.
However, the operation was not completely perfect. Although the Black person's body was taken over, a trace of their consciousness had to be preserved to keep the body functioning better.
And that consciousness could only briefly emerge after being stimulated by light.
This operation had continued in the town for a long time. The consciousnesses inside the Black people who appeared in the town were actually white.
And Ruth was the witch of this generation, responsible for luring Black people into the town.
"Fuck white people! This is how they've always bullied us Black people!"
"..."
The viewers began discussing it again.
Never before had there been a movie capable of stirring their hearts so deeply.
Never!
The emotions of the Black audience members had been completely stirred up by the film.
Chris's heart was filled with unwillingness. As he strained with both hands, he accidentally tore the chair's upholstery, revealing the cotton stuffing inside.
Looking at the cotton, Chris seemed to have found a savior, and a smile appeared on his face.
The scene shifted. The sound of Ruth's mother tapping a glass suddenly came from the television. Clearly, she was about to hypnotize Chris again before performing the brain transplant operation.
Chris fell unconscious, just as before.
The audience's hearts immediately tightened, afraid that Chris would be replaced by someone else just like that.
At the same time, Ruth's younger brother entered the room, untied Chris, and prepared to take him to the operating room.
The instant he turned around, Chris suddenly woke from his unconscious state, grabbed a stool, and smashed it directly into Ruth's brother's head.
Ruth's brother fell to the floor and struggled to get back up, but Chris struck him again, knocking him completely unconscious.
"Good! Nice one, Chris!"
"That's how it should be! Kill those damn white people trying to replace your brain!"
"."
The emotions suppressed for nearly an hour were partly released at this moment. The Black audience shouted, venting their feelings.
Chris then removed the cotton from his ears, explaining why he had not been hypnotized earlier.
After being treated like that, Chris's expression was resolute. He wanted revenge.
Not only for himself, but also for his fellow Black people.
Taking a sharp deer antler from the room, Chris carefully searched through the house, found Ruth's parents, and efficiently dealt with both of them using the antler.
Blood splattered across Chris's face, prompting another round of cheers from the audience.
They were thrilled.
Ruth was still downstairs in her room, listening to music, completely unaware that she had become an orphan.
Chris ran outside, found a car, and drove away, but accidentally hit the Black maid.
Because of his childhood experiences, he could not bring himself to flee after causing an accident, so he chose to carry the unconscious maid into the car.
The delay, along with the commotion, finally alerted Ruth.
Realizing what had happened, Ruth grabbed a gun and chased after him, but Chris had already driven away.
However, Chris did not realize that the Black maid in the car was actually a white woman whose brain transplant had succeeded—and she was Ruth's grandmother.
