"I only know a little. Why do you ask?" The man gripped the cane. He wanted to maintain his distance from Chen Ge, but he was too weak to struggle free.
"My friend disappeared when he was watching a movie inside a theater. I wish to do the same thing as him and see if I can find anything." Chen Ge said casually. He stood quietly in the dark and scanned the theater.
The rows of seats were uneven, and they looked like squatting or standing shadows.
"Have you lost your mind? Why would you come here at 2 am to ask me to play a movie for you? " Even without those scary rumors, the man did not think a normal person would be like Chen Ge, going to an abandoned theater to watch a movie at night.
"I'm very clear-headed, and I know what I'm doing." Chen Ge shone the light on the phone on the various devices. "If it's too inconvenient for you, you can tell me how to operate it, and I'll do it myself."
Chen Ge was a very studious person. Wherever he went, he would learn, and it was because of that that he had mastered so many 'skills'.
"You have to think this through. The story that I told you earlier is not a story; it's real." The man's eyelids twitched. He knew his current situation. He placed the cane to the side and reached out to search the table.
The man moved very slowly, and no one could tell what he was thinking.
Chen Ge stood to the side and stared at him. The more he looked at the man, the more he felt like there was something wrong with the man.
His hands were too agile. Even though his eyes were closed, he knew the location of all the devices.
There were two possibilities for this to happen. One was that before he was blind, or after he became blind, he had repeatedly operated this set of devices. Practice made perfect, and that was how he was able to operate it even with his eyes closed.
The second possibility was that he was not blind at all.
"The main switch is on the second floor. Can you help me open it?" The man connected all the wires. He reached for the power supply, but he tried several times, but he could not turn it on.
"Second floor?" Chen Ge picked up the hammer and walked out of theater. He walked up the stairs to the second floor, but he did not enter it. Instead, he stood at the top of the stairs and looked at the exit of theater.
In just five seconds, a man's face popped out of the theater.
He strained his ears to listen for a while, and after confirming that there were no abnormalities, he immediately ran into the darkness in the distance.
Two footsteps rang out in the silent night. Before the man could walk far, someone pressed down on his shoulder.
"How could you leave me there alone?"
When Chen Ge's voice entered the man's ears, he felt as if he had been struck by lightning and was stunned.
"I didn't find the location of the main switch. Let's go together." Chen Ge helped the man back to the second floor and turned on the main switch.
With a bang, all the lights in the theater flickered for a moment.
"I just want to watch a movie here and find my missing friend. That's all. If you keep getting in my way, I can only assume that you have something to do with my friend's disappearance."
He turned on the power supply, and the projector started on its own. The man then turned on the hard drive. After the hard drive was loaded, he raised his head. "You can choose whatever movie you want to watch, but I have to give you one last warning. Do not watch horror movies, or you'll be in big trouble."
Watching a movie in a private theater was only the first part of the Left Oculus's Trial Mission. It was already 2 am. If he did not end it soon, Chen Ge might not be able to complete the rest of the mission that night.
With that in mind, Chen Ge scanned the playlist and decided to pick the shortest movie.
"The black phone only asked me to watch one movie here, but it didn't specify what kind of movie I should watch." Chen Ge would not make things more difficult for himself. He wanted to find a heartwarming literary or animated film, but when he clicked on the playlist, he realized that all the movies could not be played. The message said that the movie was incomplete, and he needed to download it again.
After searching for a long time, Chen Ge realized that only horror movies could be played normally.
Thinking back to what the man had said, Chen Ge was confused. "Is this the work of someone? Or is there something that has ruined the resources of the other movies? "
Flipping through the playlist, he found something even weirder.
Chen Ge owned a Haunted House, and to find inspiration, he often watched horror movies, but he had not heard of any of the horror movies on this playlist.
"These movies are different from the ones on the market. The name of the director and producer on the cover are all the same." Chen Ge clicked on the cover and memorized the name of the director. "Chang Gu? Is that a stage name or his real name? "
"Have you decided?" The man's hands kept shaking. There was not much change around him, but he felt more and more unsettled. It felt like if he stayed there for too long, he would be haunted by something.
"Alright, I'll play this one with the shortest duration." Most horror movies were around one and a half hours long, but Chen Ge saw a movie that was only twenty-five minutes long in the playlist.
The movie's name was Deskmate.
Five minutes before the end of the mission, the movie officially started to play. All the lights in the private theater went off, and a blurry image appeared on the screen.
"I'm a blind man, so I won't be accompanying you. This is my phone number. Call me when you're done, and I'll pack these things up." The man read out a number for Chen Ge. Chen Ge keyed in his phone number and called it directly.
A buzzing sound came from the man's pocket. He was not lying to Chen Ge.
After witnessing the panic of so many visitors, Chen Ge could tell that the man was very afraid.
After knowing that, he was even more unwilling to let the man leave. The man had to know something, but he was unwilling to share it with him.
"Don't be in such a hurry to leave. If we stay together, we'll be able to take care of each other." Chen Ge helped the man to the seats. Considering safety, Chen Ge chose the seat closest to the exit.
"I'll pass …"
"Shush, the movie is starting."
Watching a horror movie at the theater and watching it at home were two completely different experiences. The feeling of being wrapped in darkness was something that could not be experienced at home.
The sound of a heartbeat entered his ears, and it was followed by heavy breathing. On the screen, a large eye slowly opened, and the shadow of a woman could be seen inside the black pupil.
The camera slowly moved up to look at the study table. The alarm clock showed that it was 4: 30 pm. The sky outside the window was thick with dark clouds, and it was suffocating. A storm was coming.
The whole movie appeared to be shot from a first-person perspective, and the image that the camera captured was the image that the main character saw.
"Qiumei!"
Someone kept shouting a name downstairs. The camera moved, and the main character climbed out of bed to walk to the window.
She opened the window and seemed to poke her head out. The camera captured the scene downstairs.
A girl in a red jacket was waving at her.
