Chapter 33 Classic Movie Appreciation (Part 7)
Zhang You, dead?
This fact is right in front of everyone, but the person in front of the mirror finds it hard to accept it.
Guo Guo was stunned for two seconds, and tears immediately burst out: "Wow, who killed you! We are going to take revenge!"
Tang Xinjue pulled the two excited roommates to calm them down and watch Zhang You speak carefully.
Zhang You shook his head and mouthed the cause of death: "Zhao Mingtao."
Through gestures and lip movements, several people understood the whole story: Zhang You became the dean of studies and stopped Zhao Mingtao and Wang Peng from fighting, and was stabbed to death by Zhao Mingtao.
In fact, with Zhang You's enhanced physical fitness, he might be able to defeat the frenzied Zhao Mingtao, but he did not expect that the opponent would suddenly attack him from behind, and he was sent away without even having time to resist.
Zhang You was also very depressed, but generally calm. She pointed at herself, then at the mirror, and then at Tang Xin Jue.
Tang Xinjue understood: "You are the one who made the knocking noises. You led me here."
Zhang You nodded.
It turns out that in the "reality" of the movie, being killed by other students does not mean you die completely, but continue to exist as a "ghost" and can travel into the other world.
However, she no longer had a physical body and could not communicate normally with Tang Xinjue and the others. She could only attract attention by making knocking sounds and appear with the help of a mirror.
Zhang You pointed outside and at Li Xiaoyu's notebook, and gestured with great effort to make a meaning:
She knew more of the plot.
Tang Xin Jue's eyes flickered slightly: "From the perspective of a ghost, we can see more of the characters' movements, without being restricted by perspective?"
Zhang You nodded vigorously.
It was too difficult to describe the plot based on Zhang You's current state. Tang Xin Jue directly dipped the water mixed with blood , wrote six names on the mirror of the sink, and asked Zhang You: "Can you draw the order in which they died?"
Zhang You raised her hand, wiped out Sun Qian and Feng Wan first, and shook her head . She didn't know the circumstances of the two people's deaths, but she also agreed with the speculations of Tang Xinjue and the other two.
Then, she drew a line with her fingers on the mirror and crossed out Qian Zhi and Wang Peng at the same time.
The two killed each other in the brawl.
In the end, only two names remained on the mirror: Li Xiaoyu and Zhao Mingtao.
An arc points from the latter to the former, with traces of pursuit.
Zhao Mingtao was the one who killed the dean of studies, Zhang You . Judging from what Zhang You said, after he killed the person, he found Li Xiaoyu peeping nearby, so he chased after her with a knife and wanted to kill Li Xiaoyu as well.
Tang Xin Jue asked: "And then?"
Zhang You opened her mouth, as if she didn't know how to describe it. She suddenly turned her head to look outside the door, frowned anxiously, and knocked hard on the mirror. Outside the mirror, the blood stains were also fading quickly.
The other world is about to disappear!
Seeing that time was running out, Tang Xin Jue could only hurry up and ask one last question: "Do you know who had the dream in the movie?"
Zhang You shook his head.
She used the last bit of time to mouth a silent sentence:
Be careful of Li Xiaoyu.
The inner world disappeared , accompanied by a brief feeling of weightlessness and detachment. Tang Xinjue calmed down and found that she was standing in the bathroom this time, holding an open notebook in her hand.
The moment she turned to walk out, her movements suddenly froze.
……wrong.
This is no longer the other world, it is clearly the "reality" outside the movie dream, but the burnt smell in the air has not disappeared, but has become stronger and stronger.
After a two-second pause, Tang Xinjue's flashing eyes froze... She suddenly understood.
I understood the meaning of the curse oath on Li Xiaoyu's notebook, why Class 1, Grade 3 was wiped out, and the origin of Li Xiaoyu's ghost image.
——It’s burning.
The next moment, she took a step without hesitation and ran towards Class 1, Grade 3 at full speed!
If her guess was correct, Li Xiaoyu and Zhao Mingtao should have died in the same way - in a fire.
As they got closer to Class 1, Grade 3, the pungent smell of burning became stronger and stronger. Tang Xinjue suddenly stopped at the door of a classroom with a sign that read "Class 1, Grade 3".
Only black ashes were left in the classroom.
All the tables, chairs and facilities had been burned to ashes. Dozens of charred bodies lay in painful and strange postures in the room, making it impossible to tell who was who.
Li Xiaoyu's silent smiling face seemed to appear before his eyes, and there were faint wails and moans in his ears, pressing down from all directions.
Tang Xin Jue did not turn on the perception shutdown, but let her mind think wildly. She knew it was too late. According to the routine in the movie, it should be close now...
"Ding! The movie viewing progress has reached 100%, and the replay has ended. Now let's start the movie viewing question and answer test!"
really.
She did not forget that during the "replay" time of the movie, all the dangers in reality and the other world only increased the difficulty of their "watching the movie". The key to whether they could pass the level in the end still lay in this test question.
If they answer incorrectly again this time, the best possibility is that they will enter the movie replay again.
But the worst possible scenario...
Thinking of Zhang You who was already in ghost state, Tang Xinjue's expression became increasingly cold and solemn.
[Excuse me, whose dream does this movie tell?]
[A. Zhao Mingtao]
[B, Qian Zhi]
[C, Sun Qian]
[D. Li Xiaoyu]
The question appeared in the air, and the countdown was only 60 seconds.
There was no one around, and Tang Xinjue didn't know if her roommate was also facing the same choice. She spoke quickly:
“If someone chooses the wrong one and someone chooses the right one, how do we judge the result?”
The rules also quickly gave the answer: [The quiz test is conducted in dormitories, and the dormitory members choose one individual to take the test. The result is only affected by the choice of that member.]
This means that when faced with the movie test, others gave the right of choice to Tang Xinjue.
Her choice is the final outcome of this movie.
The girl looked slightly relaxed, the countdown numbers falling rapidly in her eyes, indicating the urgency of the choice.
"Choose A."
Tang Xinjue finally spoke.
[Are you sure about your choice?]
"Confirmed." Tang Xinjue repeated again, his voice clear and firm, "This is Zhao Mingtao's dream."
The dreamer is likely to meet two conditions at the same time: 1. Not die prematurely in the plot, otherwise he will not know that the whole class is wiped out. 2. Subconsciously believe that Wang Peng likes Feng Wan and is not aware of the truth of the love letter.
The only person who meets both of these requirements is Zhao Mingtao.
There is one last point that makes Zhao Mingtao fit the identity of a dreamer: he also has a crush on Feng Wan. This point is not only used by Qian Zhi to frame him, but also reflected in the movie. The boy who is clearly in a relationship with Feng Wan is named "Wang Peng", but Zhao Mingtao's face is shown.
"At the end of the reality, Zhao Mingtao chased Li Xiaoyu all the way back to the classroom."
Tang Xin Jue spoke calmly, completing his speculation as if he were stating a statement.
"But when Zhao Mingtao returned to the classroom, he saw Feng Wan, who had been killed by Wang Peng. At that time, it was class time, and all the students rushed back to the classroom, not knowing what had happened."
"It was only Li Xiaoyu who closed the classroom door at this moment, ignited the flammable materials that had been prepared, set a fire in the classroom, and burned everyone to death."
"Before being burned to death by the flames, Zhao Mingtao had this dream in a hazy state, and then he and the dream disappeared into ashes."
After saying the last sentence, Tang Xinjue raised his eyes and said, "This is the real content of the movie."
[The answer has been submitted and is being checked...]
[Congratulations, the answer is correct!]
[Candidates can now proceed to the next part: On-site Appreciation. Candidates are requested to write a review of the film within 60 minutes, with a word count of no less than 800]
As the prompt sounded, three figures suddenly appeared beside Tang Xinjue.
Guo Guo, Zheng Wanqing, and even the "dead" Zhang You, all appeared here intact.
The roommates looked at each other, and before they could show any surprise, the front and back doors of the classroom suddenly closed, and flames ignited in front of the four of them!
[Countdown to on-site viewing experience: 60 minutes]
Several people: "...Fuck."
It turns out that the on-site review is literally "on-site".
They want to write their reflections at the fire and murder scene!
Blood seeped in from the classroom door, and a pale girl crawled down from the ceiling. It was Feng Wan in ghost form. Following closely behind her, Qian Zhi, Sun Qian, Wang Peng, and Zhao Mingtao appeared one after another, giggling and watching the crowd.
“…”
It's a live broadcast of the off-site exam?
After coming back to their senses from a brief blankness in their minds, Guo Guo and the others suddenly discovered that Tang Xinjue had quickly opened Li Xiaoyu's notebook and started writing on it.
I am in awe that I can write this review without batting an eyelid under such circumstances.
"God of Jue!"
Guo Guo cried out in emotion, and, with his legs almost limp from fright, he ran to Tang Xin Jue to read the review she had written.
There was a title clearly listed on the paper:
On the importance of having fire extinguishing equipment and escape equipment in the classroom - Thoughts after watching "Death Record of Class 1, Grade 3"
