Invade the World

  Chapter 202 Watching Movies

  "Don’t get me wrong, these are for the adult scene, not for us to watch!"

  Xu Xiangyang panicked and quickly explained.

   "In addition, some movie titles are actually made up by the boss himself, the purpose is to attract attention——"

"Have you seen?"

  Sir squad leader let Xu Xiangyang break through with just one sentence.

   "Don't say you haven't tried, Xiangyang, as I know, has always been a curious boy."

   "Well..."

   "And you just said that you have a good relationship with the boss here. If it is another high school student, the boss will not necessarily agree, but you will."

   "I know I know! You are right, I did read it!"

  Xu Xiangyang had no choice but to raise his hands to express surrender.

  Qingyue, she seems to enjoy the feeling of driving herself to a dead end. Fortunately, after this time of training, his face is not as thin as before. Even if he is watched when shouting, he will not feel as embarrassed as before.

   "This is a long time ago. When I first discovered this video room, I was really interested, and I chose it when I knew it well with the boss."

  Xu Xiangyang honestly confessed and leniently.

"After watching a few movies later, I felt that it was just that. This kind of film generally has a shoddy feeling, and the sensory stimulation is far less than the blockbuster movies of recent years. Moreover, it may be the psychological effect of me. Well, it feels like being squeezed in a small room with a group of people, surrounded by men, I always think there is something weird, I can't get in."

   "Oh. So, you prefer to buy discs or magazines, the type that you can enjoy silently in your room, right?"

  Xu Xiangyang stopped speaking, Quandang defaulted.

  Before Lin Xingjie moved in, he did try. After all, Sister Lian was away from home all day long, and lived relatively freely, as long as she remembered to destroy the criminal evidence afterwards.

  After Xingjie moved in, Xu Xiangyang gradually began to feel that doing this kind of thing was boring...

  After that, the squad leader did not continue to tease him, and began to carefully select movies suitable for the two to watch.

  "This...How about "Hexi Lion Roar"?"

   "Oh, it seems to be a romantic comedy." Xu Xiangyang glanced at it and replied, "It should have been watched in a couple's private room."

   "Why, can't we two?"

  Zhu Qingyue smiled and joked.

   "It's just watching a movie together ~ nothing will happen."

  "This is not the point. Mainly it was watched in a couple’s private room. The audience inside were all boy and girl friends."

  Xu Xiangyang scratched his hair, it looked like he had a bad memory.

   "It would be embarrassing for the two of us to go in. It is full of men and women who are half-seeing the movies, and they can’t help but move their feet when they are in love, so..."

   "I see, it's a place dedicated to excitement for lovers."

  Zhu Qingyue sighed.

   "I really don't like it."

  ……

  Finally, the two decided to go to a private room with carousels of science fiction and monster movies. They looked at the posters and knew that one of them was a doomsday movie about aliens invading the earth.

   may be influenced by the so-called "doomsday prophecy" in Meng Zheng's mouth. Not only Xu Xiangyang and Lin Xingjie, who were originally interested in this topic, but also the squad leader who has always been rational are a little bit interested.

  While chatting, the two of them walked to the private room, and saw an old man sitting on a small bench, happily sipping tea from a cup, and occasionally people came in and collected bills from them.

  As soon as Xu Xiangyang approached, the old man smiled happily.

   "Oh, Xiangyang, have you been here for a while?"

   "Well, I have been busy studying recently."

   "Yes, you are a college entrance examination candidate. Go on, come back for the top pick for your family."

"good."

  Xu Xiangyang gave the bill to the other party.

  The old man noticed the short-haired girl next to him.

  "This is...your girlfriend?"

  He looked surprised.

   "It looks so beautiful."

   "No, just friends."

  Before Xu Xiangyang spoke, Zhu Qingyue took the lead in grabbing the arm of the boy next to him, and the two stood together with their arms close to the arms, and said with a smile.

  "It's a very close friend!"

   "I have a girlfriend."

  Xu Xiangyang replied like this.

  The old man’s expression was weird. He might be thinking “young people can really play”. In the end, he didn’t talk to Xu Xiangyang for a few words. After receiving the bill, he asked them to enter quickly.

  ……

  The so-called "private room" is actually more like a tent.

  The light is dimmer than the outside, and there is faint smoke. Fortunately, there are more than one electric fans blowing inside, so the air is not considered to be choking and unpleasant.

  If you come in just after midnight, you can see trash everywhere on the ground, this time it’s okay.

  Probably because the building is closed and the sun can't get in, it's quite shady inside.

At this moment, several people are already sitting on folding chairs, and some people put several chairs together as makeshift beds, lying there slumbering; on the screen, the previous movie is playing. Ending subtitles.

  Xu Xiangyang and Zhu Qingyue sat down in an unobtrusive corner in the back row.

  "Big-screen TVs, projection equipment, and speakers..."

  Sir squad leader looked around and whispered.

   "It feels like you can set up a set at home."

   "That's a lot of money."

  Xu Xiangyang replied.

  Just like Miss Qingyue, who lives in a spacious high-end apartment building, this kind of thought arises.

   "These equipment will not be lost. Even if you don’t open the video room in the future, you can continue to use it. Nowadays, newly married couples are popular to buy such a set of furniture before moving into a new house, so that they can save face."

  Xu Xiangyang was stunned for a moment. He didn't know how the topic suddenly got involved in marriage.

   "Hey, look, there are people sleeping here."

  After a while, she pulled the boy's sleeve as if she had discovered a new world, pointed her finger to the front, and her voice was amazed.

  Xu Xiangyang is naturally not surprised at this.

  "This is very common. Some people stay here all day long, staying for several days."

   "If you don't take a bath or brush your teeth? Isn't the whole person going to stink?"

   "There is no way, someone...will have nowhere to go."

  The two did not speak for a period of time, and sat silently in their chairs until the beginning of the new movie.

  After a while, several people walked into the private room one after another. Some people woke up and shouted, "I have changed the film, why no one called me?", making a noise for a while.

  But when the plot of the movie began to slowly get on track, everyone gradually became quiet.

  ……

  The protagonist of this movie is a doctor who is on a business trip. Later, because a large number of patients suddenly appeared in the town where he originally lived, he had to rush back, only to learn that the patients were all healed all of a sudden.

  It was originally an oolong incident, but after that, the doctor felt that the atmosphere in the town was a bit wrong, or in his eyes, the residents of the town became strangers.

  Although their words and deeds seem to be the same as usual; after the trial, they found that this group of people can also tell the details of life in the town one by one, but the male protagonist always thinks that they are not the original residents.

  Later, the truth of the matter was really as the actor worried: the people in this small town were actually replaced by aliens and turned into walking corpses, completely controlled.

  The protagonist tried every means to convince the rest of the uncontrolled normal people to believe his words, and quickly fled the town to avoid being replaced. The result can be imagined. Everyone thinks that he is a neurotic, and the flow of aliens is completely a fantasy.

In the end, one after another survivors were controlled by aliens. Only the hero and the heroine were left to pretend to be controlled and escape the town, but in the end, the heroine was replaced after a sleep. In the end, only The actor drove on the road alone...

  This movie is not a new movie, and there is no special effects that are too scary. The only impressive thing is that the aliens replaced people with a huge pod.

Xu Xiangyang had watched it a long time ago, but this time he watched with the squad leader, but he was so nervous that he didn't dare to breathe. Especially when he saw that only the male protagonist was on the road in the end, the whole town fell, aliens. The plan to invade and control mankind was completely unhindered. Although the movie is over, you can imagine what a desperate future the world will face in this story.

  It wasn't until the end of the movie screening that Xu Xiangyang let out a sigh of relief.

  Several applause and discussion, several people stood up from their seats, preparing to leave the private room, and the next film was played non-stop on the screen.

   "...you seem to like this movie?"

The girl next to    asked softly.

"Ok."

  Xu Xiangyang nodded vigorously.

  At the beginning of the film, he was careful to pay attention to the demeanor and behavior of the squad leader to see if she was satisfied; but when the film was getting better, his mind was completely absorbed in it, and he couldn't care about others at all.

  He asked rhetorically:

  "Don't you like it?"

   "No, I also find it interesting, but I think the interesting part may be a bit different from yours, so I want to hear your answer."

  Zhu Qingyue replied.

"good."

  Xu Xiangyang didn’t turn his head to look at her, because he still wanted to see what the next movie was; then, he heard one after another undetectable soft noises, like a girl tapping the armrest regularly.

   "The reason why horror movies look good is of course because they are scary."

  Xu Xiangyang thought for a while, and answered as seriously as possible.

"It's not necessarily limited to the kind of sensory stimulation, but it can also stimulate imagination and is closely related to human emotions. Take this movie as an example, it is this kind of unknowingly controlled by aliens, obviously lost Freedom, but everyone is in a state of uncertainty, thinking that the world is still peaceful and life is still very stable. This kind of thing makes me feel terrible..."

   "Well, it is true. I can understand."

  He heard the sound of finger tapping stop, Zhu Qingyue's voice was quiet.

  Xu Xiangyang couldn't help turning his head to look at her.

  The girl’s face was dimmed by the light from the screen, and no emotions could be seen from it, only a piece of whiteness remained.

  "An unprecedented drastic change may have happened invisible, and no one knew it was coming...hehe, it sounds a little exciting."

"But if there is something in the world that no one knows, wouldn’t it be pretty nonexistent? So in my opinion, the more interesting part is that someone knows the secret, and only this person knows, he You can only choose to be treated as a lunatic, or to remain silent."

   "Even if you try to tell others, nothing good will happen; even if someone is willing to believe it, the result will be even more miserable. It's really stressful."

  The atmosphere in the private room suddenly became quiet.

   Quiet to the point of silence, the needle drop can be heard.

  It's not only that the two of them didn't speak, but even the people nearby didn't speak, as if it was because everyone had heard the conversation between the two of them just now.

  Xu Xiangyang knew this was just a fleeting accident, because the people in the front row soon started to make noise again;

  But at that moment--for a brief moment, he really felt a kind of creepy feeling.

  It's like these people in this room, even the people who are in full swing in the game hall outside the room, and all the pedestrians on the street, people in the whole city, closed their mouths at that moment.

  That’s why Xu Xiangyang felt this extremely unusual, as if even the world had stopped working quietly.

  Generally speaking, it is certainly impossible to do such a thing, but the people in this city have actually become robots or dolls that are manipulated, and a button or action of the black hand behind the scenes stops them.

  All of this is of course a fantasy, a delusion in the movie, but at this moment, Xu Xiangyang's mind can't stop this absurd and bizarre idea.

  Perhaps it was affected by the horror movie I just watched, or maybe the squad leader said strange things to him...

  He can only give a dry cough and choose to change the subject.

  "Qingyue, how about you? Where do you think it looks good?"

   "You saw the horror of'unfreedom' in this movie, but what I saw was'freedom,' true freedom."

  Xu Xiangyang was taken aback.

  Who can say that it is free in this film? Even the actor who finally escaped from the town in embarrassment, his future can never be said to be smooth sailing, maybe he will still be controlled by aliens, or laughed at as whimsical lunatics, until the whole world falls.

   "——Aliens of course."

  She replied with a natural tone.

"If aliens descend on the earth in a dignified manner and communicate with us, human beings will definitely be full of guard, and maybe they will start a war altogether. But like them, as long as they can control the thoughts and actions of everyone, then they can think about it. Just do what you do. It’s not impossible to let all human beings become your own friends. Isn’t this the ultimate freedom that people are pursuing? If there is such an opportunity, I’m sure I can’t help but try.”

  Xu Xiangyang opened his mouth wide, not knowing how to react for a while.

  ...Sister, just watching a movie, who asked you to take the perspective of aliens?

   "Puff."

Seeing the dazed expression on his face, Zhu Qingyue finally couldn't help laughing.

  "Can you please stop making this kind of joke." He was still a little frightened and couldn't help sighing. "It's really scary to say it from your mouth."

   "Hmm, who let you ruin my slippers. I can't wear them after walking so long with you."

   "I'm not saying that I will help you buy a new pair..."

   "I don't want it. These shoes are a unique memory for me."

  "Wait a minute, how do you plan to go back without shoes?"

  "Well, of course you have to find a solution, my good friend~"
