Bzzt … Bzzt …
In the dark space, there was a sound.
A white light suddenly flashed and lit up the entire space.
Although the light was not bright, it was enough to see the situation in the space. This was … a movie theater.
Under the flashing screen, there were no empty seats in the rows of red seats. However, there were some strange things sitting in these seats. They were wrapped in gray threads and stared motionlessly at the screen in front of them like statues.
The light on the screen quickly dimmed and everything returned to darkness.
However, a few seconds later, the light on the screen lit up again and lit up the entire space.
The 'statues' on the red seats all … stood up and looked toward the exit at the back of the movie theater.
"… What are they doing?"
"They seem to be imitating a scene from a movie called 'Horror Movie Theater'."
"Is that so? Why are they doing something like that? But when it lit up just now, it was really … quite scary. "
At the exit of the movie theater stood a machine. To be more precise, it was a mechanical Voidfolk called the Scholar.
Recently, because he wanted to investigate movies, the Scholar immediately requested to come here to investigate … In fact, he just wanted to come here to take a look.
This was a Voidfolk world occupied by fungi.
The Scholar did not fly here from the Void. Instead, he was directly sent to a more famous' movie theater '.
The fungi did not change the original structure of the Voidfolk world. Many Voidfolk buildings and various other things remained intact under the cover of the fungi.
These included things related to movies. The Scholar felt that there might be some answers to these movie theaters.
The answer to why the starry sky in the movies was exactly the same as the starry sky in the Dusty Dust World.
However, the Scholar had not found the answer yet. Instead, he saw some strange scenes, such as what he was seeing now.
This movie theater was filled with … Voidfolk. However, they were not normal Voidfolk. They were infected Voidfolk. These Voidfolk were wrapped in mycelium. It was unknown what had happened to them internally.
However, according to what the Scholar knew, these infected Voidfolk could perform normal actions. However, the actions they were doing now … did not seem normal.
They seemed to be imitating the content of a horror movie.
The Scholar realized that the light had dimmed again. This only lasted for a few seconds. When the light came back on, the infected Voidfolk sat back down and stared at the screen.
This feeling … was really strange. It was scarier than watching a horror movie, especially when the Scholar knew that these Voidfolk were not actors but a bunch of fungus-infected creatures. This added to the Scholar's fear.
But, in spite of his fears, the scholar had to act, and so he began to move stealthily, and passed behind the last row of seats.
Looking at the Voidfolk who sat in their seats with their bodies wrapped in threads, the fear in the Scholar's heart continued to rise … If any of them suddenly turned around, that would be …
Fortunately, these Void People did not move at all. They were indeed like statues.
"Hey! Why aren't you moving?! "
Suddenly, a loud sound rang out, giving the Scholar a fright. The source of the sound was … a very small Cryopteris that was lying on its shoulder.
"Why did you suddenly scream!" The Scholar looked at the Void People. They still did not move at all, and only then did he sigh in relief.
"Of course it's a test," the Cryopteris said. "To see if they will jump at you and bite you."
"… I don't think there's a need for that kind of test." The Scholar continued to move forward. Even though he had been given a fright, the Void People did not react at all. They still maintained their original posture.
This allowed the Scholar to pass behind them safely and reach … the exit at the other end of the theater.
After exiting the exit, the Scholar could see a dark and silent corridor. Thin mycelium clung to the ground, and movie posters were pasted on the walls on both sides. The fungus did not destroy them. Everything here appeared to be perfectly preserved.
The Scholar continued to move down the corridor.
"Look at them. Is this their interest?"
Whenever they passed through a theater, the Scholar would stop and look inside with the Cryopteris. The Scholar discovered something very strange.
Every theater was filled with infected Voidfolk. Furthermore, they were all doing some strange actions. Some of the Voidfolk were gathered together and mumbling something. Some of them were making all sorts of postures. Some of them were like … wild creatures. They were crawling all over the seats.
They were all mimicking scenes from horror movies, but the movie screens here were not showing anything. They were all flickering.
"Probably a recent hobby," the Cryopteris commented on this behavior of the fungus.
"Then this hobby is very strange …" the Scholar said. "Oh well, we'll just explore and look for it."
"What exactly are we looking for?" the Cryopteris asked. "Do you know where to look for clues like the stars?"
"About that …" the Scholar said. "I'm not sure how to find it. Theoretically speaking, we should look for the Void People related to the movie, but obviously, it's impossible to find them now."
"Furthermore, this is a theater, not a film studio. We're here … By the way, why are we here?"
The Scholar suddenly realized that it seemed to have wandered into a theater after arriving at the Void World's movie city. It did not go to the actual location where it could find clues.
"Oh well, let's get out of here first and then find the place where the movie was filmed," the Scholar said. "That movie should have … been filmed in this movie city."
"What did you say? You have the guts to film a movie here? You don't know there's something wrong with this place! "
A voice suddenly rang out, and the Scholar was startled once again. It noticed that the voice came from one of the screening rooms nearby.
He walked into the theater and saw rows of Fungus Voidfolk sitting neatly, and the movie screen was playing a movie.
They seemed to have decided to play the movie instead of just watching the flickering screen. It was a horror movie. There was nothing special about it, but it was very suitable for the current environment.
Cryopteris told the Scholar. "They probably feel that their imitation is not good enough, so they want to watch it and learn from it."
"I don't think that's the reason …" the Scholar said. "There are sounds coming from other theaters as well. They seem to have started playing as well … This is …"
