Chapter 28 Classic Movie Appreciation (Part 2)
In the dim movie screen, a headless ghost holds his head and slowly crawls towards the screen.
"Fuck! It's coming out!"
Guo Guo pushed the table and quickly jumped to Tang Xin Jue's side, pointing at the movie and trembling: "An essential part of horror movies! It will definitely crawl out and kill us! God Jue! Quick! Toilet plunger!"
"Guo Guo, what are you shouting for?"
Hearing the scream, Zhang You and Zheng Wanqing turned around with puzzled expressions.
Guo Guo slapped his thigh and said, "A horror movie! You guys watch it on your computer... Hey, why don't you have it on your computer?"
Looking closely, there was no headless ghost on Zhang You's and Zheng Wanqing's computer screens. On Zhang You's screen, there was an old lady cutting minced meat, and on Zheng Wanqing's computer, there was a classroom with students all studying with their heads down.
Only the movie that Tang Xin Jue and Guo Guo were playing was the same. As the headless ghost was getting closer and closer, the smile on the skull's face became bigger and bigger. The camera suddenly turned to a few shivering boys and girls.
Four boys and girls, about seventeen or eighteen years old, were leaning against a large glass window. A headless ghost was gradually approaching them, and dark red blood was spreading on the ground.
Tang Xin Jue held the mouse and moved it to the bottom of the screen, only to find that there was no progress bar to move, nor could it be paused, only a close option.
[Do you want to close this movie? Your browsing progress will be reset after exiting.]
I chose no, and the scene continued. The boy and girl screamed heartbreakingly, without saying a single meaningful line. The camera was also very simple, with only a bird's-eye view.
Rather than a movie, it looks more like a videotape or a live broadcast?
Tang Xin Jue used an [Identification] on the picture:
[A classic movie, the effects are authentic and original, everyone who has seen it says it is good.]
Guo Guo didn't dare go back to his side to watch it alone, so the other two came over with their computers, and the four images were played together at the same time, which dispelled the weird feeling and made it look a bit weird.
Open the APP, and the exam requirements will pop up:
"There are eight movies in this exam. Please choose at least four to watch."
"When you reach 100% of your viewing progress, you will be asked to answer the movie. If you answer correctly, you can write your review on the spot. If you answer incorrectly, you will need to watch the movie again."
"Exam passing requirements: Each dormitory must complete four or more movie reviews."
Seeing that the exam rules were clear and not obscure, everyone subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.
After being psychologically traumatized by the difficulty of the last A-level exam, now that I have entered the C-level examination room, I actually have a kind of... inexplicable sense of security?
Tang Xin Jue reminded: "Don't take it lightly no matter what."
A-level players may not necessarily be wiped out, and C-level players may not necessarily survive.
Once you enter a dungeon, you can only try your best to strive for the highest possibility of survival.
After carefully reading the exam rules, Tang Xinjue clicked close on the screen, and the screen immediately returned to a folder.
There are eight movie videos in the folder, named respectively: "Headless Ghost Story 1", "Headless Ghost Story 2", "Death Record of Class 1, Grade 3", "Ghost in the Dormitory", "Ghost in the Mirror", "Village Evil Spirit 1", "Village Evil Spirit 2", and "Don't Open the Door at Midnight".
...It doesn't look like a classic, it looks more like a bad movie.
Tang Xinjue looked at them one by one. When the exam just started, the one being played on the four people's computers was "Headless Ghost Story 1" for her and Guo Guo, "Death Record of Class 1, Grade 3" for Zheng Wanqing, and "Village Evil Spirit 1" for Zhang You.
Zhang You raised the question: "Does each of us have to watch all four films, or do we have to watch all four films in total?"
Tang Xin Jue: "Since we are divided into dormitories, we only need to watch four movies in total. And there is no time limit for this exam."
There is no time limit, which means that the main danger comes from film appreciation itself.
"Of course, restrictions still exist." Tang Xin Jue added: "When the movie progress bar reaches 100%, the viewing test will begin and cannot be paused. In other words, we must be prepared before the test begins."
In short, you should never rush to finish watching a movie - who knows if the killing conditions will be triggered?
Guo Guo's hands trembled, and he turned off his computer: "Then it would be better if the four of us watched it together!"
It was not only safer but also more accurate for four people to answer the questions together, so they decided to do so immediately.
Considering that the beginning of "Headless Strange Stories" was a bit hurtful to Guo Guo, they decided to start from the remaining six parts and screen them one by one. If they felt something was wrong, they would close it and finally choose the easiest one for the follow-up test. Although this method takes a long time, it is more cautious.
Before making a choice, Guo Guo called out, "Wait!"
She pulled out a red water drop pendant from under her neck, held it in her hand, and scanned the screen one by one.
At this time, she used the item "Eye of Premonition" that she had exchanged for 30 points yesterday, combined with her own perception, to judge good and bad luck.
Soon, Guo Guo exclaimed and pointed at a movie: "You can't watch this!"
She was referring to "Don't Open the Door at Midnight".
If the pendant becomes hot, it means bad luck.
"That leaves only... five."
Tang Xin Jue spoke softly and calmly, "It's okay, we'll take a look at them one by one."
After selecting the order, the computer started playing from "Death Record of Class 3-1".
The movie started with a simple title, with white letters on a black background, and red blood slowly dripping from the words. Then everything on the screen turned into the scene Zheng Wanqing had just seen :
An ordinary high school classroom, with more than 40 students studying, looks a bit like a surveillance camera from the angle of the camera.
Five minutes later, the students were still studying quietly.
Fifteen minutes later, still studying.
After thirty minutes, Zheng Wanqing couldn't help herself: "What kind of crap is this movie? I'm going to fall asleep if I keep watching it!"
If this kind of movie can be named a "classic movie", domestic horror films can dream of winning an Oscar!
Several people were watching and felt sleepy. Tang Xinjue suddenly frowned: "Someone got up."
The scene changed, and it showed a boy and girl sitting at the same table in the back row. They looked up quietly, and after making sure that no one was noticing, they whispered a few words to each other, and then began to be intimate.
Guo Guo: "Damn!"
Single number two Zheng Wanqing: “Fuck!”
Single number three Zhang You: “Fuck!”
Single number 4 Tang Xinjue didn't say anything. She noticed a detail: "The girl's hands have changed."
Even with only a small corner, it was still possible to see that the girl's arms had turned from white to blue, and her nails had turned black and longer. The boy didn't notice it until the girl raised her head from his embrace, and the two looked at each other, with two bloody tears in the girl's eyes.
"Ah!!!" The boy screamed and fell to the ground. He wanted to open the door and escape, but was caught by the head teacher at the door.
"Wang Peng, where are you going?"
The boy named Wang Peng spoke incoherently: "Feng Wan, her face..."
The dean did not listen to his explanation. After giving him a severe reprimand, he was locked back in the classroom without further explanation.
The boy pounded on the door desperately but to no avail. He turned around tremblingly and saw that all his classmates who had just been studying at their desks were slowly looking up with tears of blood on their faces.
Amid his desperate and terrified screams, his classmates stood up and rushed over, surrounding him...
Seeing this, Tang Xinjue suddenly realized that something was wrong and immediately grabbed the mouse to close the page. However, just before the mouse clicked, the computer screen went dark.
[This movie has been watched! Now start the movie quiz!]
Four people: “…”
Your movie is only over 30 minutes long? Are you kidding me?
No wonder the progress bar doesn’t show up, what a horrible exam!
It was too late to quit now, and a multiple-choice question quickly appeared on the screen:
[Excuse me, whose dream does this movie tell?]
[A. Zhao Mingtao]
[B, Qian Zhi]
[C, Sun Qian]
[D. Li Xiaoyu]
Four people: “…”
"If I hadn't suddenly lost my memory," Zhang You frowned, "it seems that none of these four names appeared in the movie."
Tang Xinjue had no expression on his face: "You didn't lose your memory, and I didn't see it either."
Not only that, there was no mention of anything related to dreams.
In the more than 30 minutes of content, apart from the self-study session viewed from the surveillance perspective, the characters "Wang Peng" and "Feng Wan" only appeared in the last few minutes, but these two names did not appear in the options.
This is really like Sima Guang smashing the jar while playing the piano - outrageous!
[19, 18, 17…]
The question-and-answer interface has entered the countdown, leaving them no time to think.
Tang Xinjue's identification skills and Guo Guo's pendant were not effective. At this time, there was no other way but to rely on luck.
"According to the rule of guessing questions, if you don't know any of the four, then choose C—"
Click, the mouse falls on option C.
The countdown stopped, the Q&A interface disappeared, and then a bright red word popped up:
[Wrong answer! The viewing progress has been reset, and the movie is being restarted...]
Having a bad premonition, Tang Xinjue instantly pulled out the toilet plunger. At the same moment, the surrounding environment suddenly changed.
The desk became a desk piled with books, and the roommates gathered next to it disappeared, leaving neatly arranged desks.
Looking around, she found that the environment she was in had turned into a high school classroom. Everyone was concentrating on studying, and the only sound in the room was the rustling sound of pens hitting paper.
At this moment, someone poked her in the back. Tang Xinjue turned around and saw that it was the male protagonist "Wang Peng" in the movie. He looked very normal at the moment. He leaned over and asked her in a low voice: "Li Xiaoyu, do you know what happened to Wang Peng yesterday? Why was he caught by the class teacher?"
Tang Xin Jue was silent for two seconds, then asked, "Who are you?"
The boy opened his eyes wide: "No way, you lost your memory? I'm Zhao Mingtao!"
