Chapter 54 054. Cinema

The night in Jiangcheng in late March was a bit cool. Pedestrians were coming and going on the streets, but no one paid attention to who was around them.

Qiao Mu and Du Ruo walked for more than 20 minutes and arrived at the more prosperous Binjiang Avenue.

This is the busiest street on the east bank of Jiangcheng, with office buildings and shopping malls lined up on both sides. Even on weekday evenings, there are still many tourists passing through, feeling the hustle and bustle of the big city.

The excitement was theirs, Qiao Mu had nothing.

He followed Du Ruo and looked curiously at the tall buildings around him.

Before Qiao Mu traveled through time, he lived in a very prosperous international metropolis, where people lived at a fast pace, just like here.

The two walked into one of the shopping malls.

This shopping mall was established relatively early, and it has been a few years. Many of the shops in it have closed down, or are currently open for rent. The few shops that are open are only doing takeout business, which is incompatible with the bustling neighborhood next door.

Perhaps twenty years ago, this was one of the first shopping malls to be built on the east bank of Jiangcheng. It had a steady flow of customers and was a must-have for many children on their weekend outings.

But it's all over.

The good location has kept the price here high, and it seems a bit ridiculous to rebuild this place against the backdrop of the brand-new commercial buildings nearby. However, it should be fortunate that compared to those unfinished buildings that have never been glorious, at least it once was. It is a childhood memory for many people.

There is a cinema on the fourth floor of the mall.

Next door to the cinema is a cheap KTV, which can only be found on mobile phone review software. Most of the reviews are "dirty and messy", "cheap price" and "average service attitude".

As for movie theaters, I can’t find them at all.

"can you see it?"

Du Ruo stood at the door of the cinema and asked Qiao Mu.

"What did you say?"

Qiao Mu glanced at the empty cinema. The dim light box at the ticket office illuminated the movie showing today. There was only one ticket seller, who was in the shadow and could not see his face clearly.

He quickly understood. At the same time, in his field of vision, words as dark as blood spurted out from the deep passage of the cinema.

[Aha, did you know that when a person dies, he will go to a movie theater, and his life will be played on the screen. When the movie ends, you will be completely finished! 】

"Cinema."

Yes.

This movie theater is probably an anomaly.

It just lives in the bustling city, waiting for the unlucky guy to wander into it.

The person Du wants Qiao Mu to visit is here?

"Don't worry, there's no danger."

The corner of Du Ruo's mouth twitched, as if he wanted to show a smile, but in the end he didn't pull the skin and just kept his original serious look.

Although Qiao Mu wanted to complain that it would be 100% dangerous to say such a thing, he decided to believe Du Ruo.

After all, he treated himself to a meal, so he was definitely not a bad person.

"Who do you want me to find?"

Qiao Mu asked.

"When you see him, forget it. Just look at him."

Du Ruo thought for a moment and finally swallowed some words.

Qiao Mu found it strange that Du Ruo asked him to find the people who lived in the anomaly, but when he got there he didn't say anything and just stayed here and there.

He didn't ask further questions, he just walked towards the cinema and came to the ticket office.

"Hello, I want a movie ticket."

Qiao Mu said to the conductor generously.

The conductor in the shadow raised his head. Qiao Mu could not see his face clearly. He could only feel his shoulders moving slightly, and he typed out a movie ticket by tapping the keyboard at a slightly slow speed.

He didn't even ask Qiao Mu what movie he wanted to watch.

Qiao Mu took the movie ticket and found that the conductor's hands were frighteningly white and lacked the texture of skin, just like a dummy in a clothing store.

He glanced at the other person.

I found that the conductor slightly emerged from the shadows as he handed over the tickets.

On the head, which looks like a dummy from the clothing store downstairs, two simple eyes were drawn with a marker.

[He has a pair of smart eyes, doesn't he? Don't make fun of him, otherwise you will be the next ticket seller sitting here! 】

Yin Hong's words flow on the movie ticket.

Qiao Mu turned his attention to the movie ticket and found that the name of the movie was "Qiao Mu".

What a coincidence, it's the same as my name.

He came to the ticket office and found a dummy sitting there too.

The dummy was motionless.

Qiao Mu handed the ticket to the other party.

The dummy suddenly squeaked, grabbed the ticket, tore off the corresponding part, and slowly handed it back to Qiao Mu.

He walked inside and found the corresponding screening room according to the markings on the movie tickets. He walked in and sat down in the second to last row.

The auditorium was empty except for him.

Soon, the movie started playing.

Qiao Mu found that the picture was messy. The content captured by the handheld camera was full of unexplained sky, grass, blooming flowers, falling snow forest, etc. It looked like a picture taken casually by a bored person, with a simple sense of the times.

But for some reason, Qiao Mu was immersed in these pictures as soon as he saw them, and even had a strong resonance. Unknowingly, he had burst into tears.

"You don't belong here."

Suddenly, a voice came from beside Qiao Mu.

He turned his head and found that a young girl had been sitting in the seat next to him. She was in her early twenties, with long hair hanging down her shoulders. She was wearing a red sweater and a white skirt.

"Are you the one Du wants to visit?"

Qiao Mu didn't expect it to be a girl, so he sniffed.

"Duruo?"

The girl chewed on the name for a moment, and then it suddenly dawned on her.

"Being here means you are in danger. Go back, I can handle it."

She said, gently pressing Qiao Mu's shoulders.

"As for Du Ruo, tell him not to come again. No matter what, abnormalities will only make people fall into the abyss."

[This woman is very dangerous. You have to be careful about everything she does. After all, this is her cage, and you have to figure out your position, hehe. 】

The blood-red words seeped out from the sweater.

"Cage."

Qiao Mu didn't say much. He was not a mentally ill patient. The other party asked him to leave, so he would definitely obey the order.

Standing up, Qiao Mu suddenly felt that the content in the movie was lackluster and he lost any interest.

He walked out of the screening room, and finally looked back at the girl. She was still sitting on the chair, watching the movie intently.

No one stopped him along the way, and this abnormality seemed to be very polite to Qiao Mu.

Du Ruo stood outside at the escalator that had been stopped to save power, smoking a rare cigarette. When he saw Qiao Mu, he was not in a hurry to ask what happened.

"I saw a girl and told you about you. She told you not to come here again. She also said that abnormality will only make people fall into the abyss."

Qiao Mu didn't hide anything.

Du Ruo didn't answer either.

He took away the cigarette butt, took a breath, then put it out on the trash can filled with drink bottles, and said to Qiao Mu amidst the smoke.

"let's go."

Qiao Mu followed Du Ruo downstairs and stepped into the prosperity of Jiangcheng again.

He felt that he should ask something, but he also felt that this was fine. He didn't know why, but it was quite reasonable.

"I'm sorry to trouble you today."

Du Ruo thanked Qiao Mu respectfully, and then said hello to a man on the roadside. The two of them were as familiar as friends who had known each other for many years, and Du Ruo followed the other man away.

In just a moment, he disappeared into the crowd, and no matter how hard he looked, he couldn't find where he was going.

Qiao Mu was a little curious whether the passerby really knew Du Ruo, or whether he used some special method to force him to "know" him.

In this way, Qiao Mu can also go to other people's houses for dinner by making friends with them.

But after all, he is a big V with 50,000 followers, so doing this kind of thing still carries a lot of psychological baggage.

With this in mind, Qiao Mu, who was about to go home, suddenly saw a strange office worker walking in a hurry.

Because on his shoulders, there were several people standing.

These people were stacking up like acrobats in an Indian mythological drama, maintaining a delicate balance, swaying, but never falling off the office worker's shoulders.

The passers-by around turned a blind eye to this and headed back home.

Qiao Mu was thoughtful, he walked over, patted the other person, and showed a bright smile.

"Friend, can I come to your house tonight?"
