"Why did they suddenly go crazy?"
"It must be because you scolded them!"
"You're the one who scolded them! I didn't say anything! "
In the air filled with dust, the Scholar kept running. It kept turning its head to look behind it because behind it was a large group of … Fungal Voidfolk.
These things that were wrapped in greyish white mycelium crawled on the ground like monsters with six limbs. They kept letting out … strange howls. This caused quite a bit of fear to rise in the Scholar's heart.
Thankfully, their speed was not as fast as the mechanically powered Scholar, but it was not too far behind, so the Scholar had to keep running.
"I know!" Cryopteris suddenly said from the Scholar's shoulder, "They are imitating a movie called 'Cinema Freak'! They are acting as monsters, and if you play the main character, cooperate with them and they won't do anything to you! "
"Is that so? How come you've seen so many movies that I've never heard of … "The Scholar said as it ran," Then what should I do? "
"That's to lie on the ground …" Cryopteris said, "That's what the main character does in the movie, quick, lie down!"
"Lie on the ground?" Even though the Scholar was confused, it still stopped and laid on the ground. Looking at the Fungal Voidfolk that were crawling closer, the Scholar asked anxiously, "What's going to happen next?"
"Hmm …" Cryopteris thought about it and said, "Next, they'll come to dismember you. When you're torn into pieces, the movie will be over!"
"… Stop joking around!" The Scholar hurriedly rolled into a nearby screening room. The Scholar turned around and saw the large group of Void People running straight into the corridor. They did not chase after the Scholar.
"Phew … Looks like they just want to run, they're not chasing after me."
Even though the Scholar believed that the Fungal Voidfolk would not be able to tear it apart, it did not want to come into contact with the things wrapped in mycelium. It would be fine if it was outside in the bright daylight, but inside this eerie theater, the Scholar was quite afraid.
In the end, it was like watching a horror movie. Even though it knew that the things on the screen could not hurt it, it was still scared.
"Let's wait for them to crawl over before we go out." The Scholar glanced at the fungus Voidmen that kept crawling in the corridor. The Scholar did not know how many of them there were, but it seemed that they would not be able to finish crawling in a short period of time, so it decided to enter the screening room first to take a look.
"Seriously, you're so uncooperative. How can you film a good movie like this?" Cryopteris said on the scholar's shoulder, "If that's the case, how do you become a first-class scholar?"
"The Scholar has nothing to do with this," the Scholar said. "And I want to ask you why the main character of the movie was amputated …"
The Scholar stopped before he could finish because he had walked into the screening room. Like the other screening rooms, the room was filled with rows of Fungus Voidfolk.
A few of the fungus Voidfolk in the last row turned to look at the Scholar and made a gesture to keep quiet.
It was as if they were real people who were here to watch a movie.
"They are so normal," Cryopteris said. "This is definitely not normal."
"… Indeed." The Scholar noticed that the fungus Voidfolk here did not seem to be imitating a horror movie, they were more like … a group of people who were watching a movie. Some of them were staring intently at the screen, some were holding a bucket full of white balls … and eating.
There were also some who were looking down at small glowing images in their hands. There were even a few fungus Voidfolk sitting next to them.
These little fungus Voidfolk were crying while the big ones were trying to calm them down.
Other than that, there were also some who were sleeping on their seats. This gave the Scholar a sense of horror again.
If they were real Voidfolk, it would look like a normal movie theater. But all of this was done by the fungus Voidfolk, so it gave the Scholar a strange feeling.
The screen was playing a normal movie, but it was not a horror movie. The Scholar remembered … it seemed like he had seen it before.
It was a documentary, a research documentary about … prophecy.
Even though the Voidfolk did not have any large religions, and most of them did not believe in things like God, but … there were some strange incidents in history, things about prophecies.
The Scholar remembered that the documentary carefully talked about several great prophets who appeared in the Voidfolk world. These prophets predicted … many things, and most of them were correct.
The documentary talked about whether these prophecies could be verified through science and so on.
Why was the fungus watching this documentary?
"Hey, why are you guys watching this movie?"
Before the Scholar could say anything, Cryopteris called out to a fungus Voidfolk sitting at the back.
The fungus Voidfolk turned around. Even though his face was covered in mycelium, the Scholar could clearly see the change in his expression, it seemed to be angry.
It was like a Voidfolk who was interrupted in the middle of a movie.
The fungus Voidfolk made a rude gesture and then turned back to watch the movie.
"He sure is good at acting," Cryopteris said. "This is so fun, I have to keep playing with them."
"I think you should shut up," the Scholar said. "The ones outside should have crawled past us by now, we need to …"
"Wait, look at that."
The Scholar suddenly turned his attention to the screen. A starry sky appeared on the screen.
"It … is here as well?" The Scholar noticed that this starry sky was the same as the one in the movie, and … the starry sky of the Dusty World.
However, this scene only lasted for a moment before it jumped to another scene.
"This scene was used as the background for the famous movie 'The Mad Stars Mobilization'." On the screen, a Voidfolk who appeared to be a narrator said, "However, this starry sky first appeared in the prophecy of the great prophet. In his prophecy, the starry sky in this scene will appear above our world, it is completely different from the starry sky that we normally see."
"… The great prophet?" The Scholar listened to the narrator and then he remembered the content he had seen before.
Yes, this scene was created by a great prophet … and that prophet was … a high-end technician.
