Wencheng is a strange city; people there don't seem to have much of a nightlife.

At 12 o'clock midnight, most of the shops around the city square have closed, and even the night snack stalls are sparsely populated.

In the distance, the commercial buildings were brightly lit, and I wondered how many office workers were still working overtime.

The Paradise Cinema was closed and there was not a single customer.

There are no guests, but the boss is still here.

Yi Nian Tian Tang received a private message from Sang Feiwan an hour ago and immediately came here to wait.

When he saw three big stars on TV appearing at the door of his cinema, he was so surprised that his eyes almost popped out.

Thinking of the strange events that happened in the movie, he couldn't help but worry:

"There have been several accidents in the cinema, and 18 guests are still in the hospital. You are all big stars, and if something really happens, I can't afford it."

Zhang Xuexue said with a smile: "Don't worry, Wanwan will protect us, nothing will happen."

Yu Beiming said, "If there is only one audience member, the movie cannot be played. There must be at least two people, and they must be both men and women."

In previous incidents, all moviegoers met this condition.

Later, in order to investigate, the police sent a team into Theater No. 4 to watch a midnight show.

However, since there were no women among the moviegoers, the viewing condition was not triggered, so the police were naturally unable to find any clues.

This is also the reason why Sang Fei invited Yu Beiming to the party at the beginning.

"Then you must pay attention to safety." After repeated reminders, the boss took them into the Paradise Cinema.

The layout of cinemas is basically the same, with the ticket hall right at the entrance.

There are also snack and drink sales points at the ticket office.

The business had been closed for a while, and the snack cabinet was originally emptied. However, because Sang Fei came late, the boss asked the employees to prepare popcorn and French fries.

Zhang Xuexue was so happy that she immediately went over to get some popcorn and drinks, and generously gave a bucket each to Sang Feiwan and Yu Beiming, as if she really came to watch a movie.

Theater No. 4 is located at the innermost part of the cinema.

The boss turned on the light but didn't dare go in, for fear that he would not be able to get out once he entered.

Sang Feiwan asked him, "What movies have been shown here before?"

The boss just reported a few movie titles.

Sang Feiwan thought for a moment and said, "There is no pattern to the films shown, which means it has no direct relationship with the content of the films being shown. Boss, then just play any film you want."

The boss took out his cell phone and notified his employees to play a random movie - of course, Sang Feiwan told him in advance that they would watch a movie tonight, so the boss arranged the staff in advance.

"The three of us can go in. Boss, you wait outside."

In a cinema reserved for three people, you can choose any seat you like.

Sang Feiwan found a seat that was neither too high nor too low, neither too left nor too right and sat down.

Zhang Xuexue was about to squeeze over to sit next to her, but suddenly she thought of something, so she pulled Yu Beiming over and sat next to Sang Feiwan. She then wisely sat in the last row.

Sang Feiwan didn't notice Zhang Xuexue's little trick, she was thinking about something in her mind.

At this time, the lights in the theater went out and the movie began to play.

The movie being shown now is the romance film that was playing when the cinema first had problems.

The plot of the film is very simple. It's about a man and a woman who are in love. When they are in the midst of their love, the woman is diagnosed with cancer, and then it becomes a life-and-death tragic love story.

Sang Feiwan felt a little bored watching this, so she raised her hand to grab some popcorn, but her hand bumped into Yu Beiming's.

When the fingertips and skin touched, a different kind of ambiguity arose.

Yu Beiming retracted his hand as if he had received an electric shock, and quickly turned his attention to the big screen. The plot happened to be that the male and female protagonists were hugging each other, forehead to forehead, nose to nose, and confessing their feelings to each other. With the soothing music, it was extremely ambiguous.

But at this moment, Sang Feiwan suddenly interrupted and asked, "Why are you eating my popcorn?"

As a result, all the ambiguity fell apart, and even the heroine on the screen was so angry that she vomited blood... No, she was vomiting blood because she was really sick.

Yu Beiming looked down at the popcorn: "This one looks like it's mine."

Only then did Sang Feiwan notice that his share had been taken away by Zhang Xuexue.

So she snapped her fingers, and the popcorn that Zhang Xuexue had secretly taken away returned to Sang Feiwan's hands.

Zhang Xuexue was watching anxiously from behind:

What's wrong with these two people? Why are they so focused on the popcorn? Why did I take the popcorn away? I just wanted you to share it.

In the dramas I have acted in before, whenever the male and female protagonists eat from the same dish, they will definitely develop feelings for each other. But it happened to you two! It is true that the emperor is not anxious, but the eunuch is... Oh, no, why should I say that I am a eunuch?

At this time, Sang Feiwan sent a message to Zhang Xuexue, asking her to come over and sit down.

Zhang Xuexue sat back down reluctantly: "Why did you call me over? I stayed far away on purpose so I could see more clearly."

Sang Feiwan glanced at her and said, "Do you really think you are here to watch a movie?"

Zhang Xuexue said: "Of course I didn't forget. But the movie is almost over and nothing unexpected has happened."

Sang Feiwan said, "It probably has nothing to do with this movie. Several movies have been shown here before, but only a few people lost their souls. Why did they choose those people instead of all the moviegoers?"

"I think it must be some kind of taboo. Those who violate the taboo will lose their souls, while those who don't will be safe."

"The known taboo is that there must be more than two people watching the movie, and there must be both men and women. In addition, there should be other conditions."

"So, Bei Ming, Xue Xue, can you help me think of other triggering conditions?"

She had not seen the faces of other victims before coming, so she had no way of predicting the future.

"So troublesome?" Zhang Xuexue frowned, thought for a moment and said, "The first man who got into trouble did not accompany his girlfriend to the toilet because they were watching a movie. Is this the key point?"

Sang Feiwan pondered: "Are couples not allowed to have conflicts during a movie?"

Zhang Xuexue said: "It is normal for men and women to watch movies together to enhance their relationship. The girl who died here before committed suicide because of relationship problems. Therefore, she does not like couples to have conflicts. The man who violated her taboo triggered the taboo and left his soul here."
