Chapter 42 Cinema Crisis

Chapter 42 Cinema Crisis
Ke Mingye raised his eyelids and slowly "woke up" from the dim movie theater.

He raised the back of his hand to block the light from the screen and pinched the bridge of his nose with his index and middle fingers in a deceptive way, intending to tell his family that he had really gotten some sleep.

Looking around, the Imax giant screen was playing "Spirited Away", an animated film by Hayao Miyazaki. This movie was shown once 20 years ago, and it happened to be re-screened these two days, so Bai Zini asked her father to reimburse the movie ticket money, and excitedly dragged everyone to watch the movie.

The light from the giant screen was sometimes dim, sometimes bright, vaguely illuminating the faces of several people around him.

Ke Mingye sat in the middle of the row, Ke Xiaomo sat on his right, and the four people on his left were Bai Zini, Bai Ziling, Ke Yongzhu, and Bai Qiuwu.

Bai Qiuwu was holding his chin, thinking about something, his mind was not on the movie at all.

Ke Mingye knew without even thinking that she must be thinking about what had just happened on the bus.

Bai Zini nudged him gently with her elbow and whispered, "Brother, you came to the cinema to sleep, right? You are amazing."

"That's right." Bai Ziling also echoed softly.

Can I still tell you that I was actually concentrating on playing the dungeon? Ke Mingye curled his lips and said, "I just finished school and I was so sleepy, and you guys dragged me to watch a movie. Can you blame me for this?"

"Just watch it carefully when you wake up," said Ke Xiaomo.

"Row."

As he spoke, Ke Mingye turned his head and looked around.

There were almost no strangers in the entire theater. It could be said that the six brothers had reserved the theater. After all, it had been several days since the re-screening, and the movie city here had just been built not long ago, so it was not very popular.

At this moment, he suddenly found a young man wearing a hat and a theater staff uniform walking in from the entrance of the theater and putting up a sign at the door that read "As a lucky show, guests watching movies in this theater will have a chance to experience the 'brain imaging helmet' for free."

Then, the young man closed the door to the theater, put his hands on his stomach, and hid his eyes in the shadow of his hat. The corners of his mouth slightly raised, as if he was quietly waiting for someone.

Brain imaging helmet, what is this?
Ke Mingye took a look at the words on the sign and felt that it looked strange, so he stared at the staff member for a while, and his information panel gradually appeared in front of him.

[Character name: Ke Yinzhi]

[Age: 21 years old]

【Sex: Male】

[Strength: A++ level (possessing top combat power far exceeding 99% of superhumans in the world)]

[Hidden identity: Black Judge (the face of the Abnormal Control Bureau, one of the five S-level executors)]

"……what?"

"what?"

Ke Mingye had two big question marks in his mind.

He suspected that he had seen it wrong, or that there was a bug in the system, so he glanced at the unremarkable staff member again and tried to open it in a different way.

But the results presented are still the same.

[Character name: Ke Yinzhi]

Ke Mingye was stunned for half a second, and quickly looked away. "Brother? Why is he here?" He thought, cold sweat dripping down his back, soaking his back instantly.

He had imagined the scene of meeting his eldest brother at home a thousand times, but he never thought that his eldest brother would appear in front of him in this way.

In a movie theater, pretending to be a staff member?

Judging from the sign, his intention is to get us to wear this brain-imaging helmet, but why?
All the thoughts in Ke Mingye's mind rolled to the ground like a ball of wool, breaking into millions of lines.

Brain imaging...

The biggest difference between players and ordinary people is that the images recorded by our naked eyes are processed by the system in our brain, and we can see the prompts given by the system.

Ke Mingye's face gradually turned pale, and his eyes moved.

He thought for a moment and quickly came to the conclusion: Big Brother wanted to use this helmet to confirm whether any of us had been replaced by a "player". No, if I just sit there, he would have ten thousand reasons not to let me go. Once he puts on this helmet, I'll be finished...

Thinking of this, Ke Mingye said, "I'm going to the bathroom and will be back later." After saying that, he was about to get up from the chair.

"Wait a moment."

As Ke Xiaomo spoke, he suddenly reached out and pressed his arm.

"What's wrong, second brother?"

Ke Mingye asked as he slowly turned his head and met his gaze expressionlessly.

"Don't run around, come back after going to the toilet." Ke Xiaomo said.

Ke Mingye was slightly startled, cold sweat running down his forehead, thinking to himself, a second brother and a first brother, they fucking teamed up to mess with me in the cinema, right? Did you two collude in advance?
"Oh yeah, I remember now." Bai Zini also said, "Last time, brother, you were watching a movie with us, and halfway through, you said you needed to go to the bathroom, then left and ran to the video game store next door to play games!"

Please, sister, can you stop killing me? If you don’t run away, I’m going to die here, right?
Ke Mingye felt as if he had fallen into an icy cave. He glanced at the staff guarding the entrance to the theater.

"Who cares about him?" Ke Yongzhu held his chin with his hand and said impatiently, "If you want to leave, just leave. Don't disturb me from watching the movie."

"No, Ni and I had a hard time asking dad to reimburse us."

As Bai Ziling spoke, he turned his head and stared at Ke Mingye expressionlessly.

Her red eyes stood out in the dim light.

Hearing their conversation, Bai Qiuwu's thoughts were interrupted, so he glanced at him: "By the way, someone just said to me on the bus, 'Let's go to the movies, no one is allowed to leave.'"

Ke Mingye was shocked and thought, if it doesn't work, I'll just fight you guys. Do a vampire, a magic girl, a ninja, and a Monkey King have to team up to make things difficult for a small player like me?
Even thinking this, Ke Mingye remained calm.

He yawned, tears of fatigue welling up in his eyes, and said in a muffled voice, "Okay, okay, you win. I won't run away. I'll be back after using the toilet."

"You said it." Bai Ziling stared at him and said, "Don't lie to me."

"Second brother, let him go." Baizini said with satisfaction.

Hearing this, Ke Xiaomo released his arm and said, "Go quickly and come back soon. You've slept for most of the game. You should watch the rest carefully."

"You are the only one with a lot to do."

Ke Mingye looked at them with disdain, shrugged his shoulders as if he was not worried, then stood up from his seat and walked towards the exit of the cinema.

He walked step by step in the dim theater, getting closer and closer to Ke Yinzhi at the door. His heartbeat became faster and faster, as if ten thousand little people were kicking on his heart.

What will Big Brother do...

If I just walked away from him like that, would he stop me?

What if he just picked up the helmet and put it on my head? With his strength, I would have no chance to resist, but sitting there and waiting for the movie to end would be like waiting for death.

But even if we take a step back and my eldest brother didn't stop me and I really ran away from the cinema, my second brother's suspicion of me would deepen.

Damn it...

It's better to give it a try than to wait for death.

Thinking of this, Ke Mingye deliberately rubbed the leg of the chair with his shoe to loosen his shoelaces. Then he squatted down, pretending to tie his shoelaces, and manipulated the trick puppet outside the theater to change its appearance, rushed out of the alley, shot out a spider silk to stick to the traffic light sign on the street, grabbed the spider silk and jumped above the traffic light.

The puppet squatted down, looked up at the Tobacco Cinema in front of it, and used the skill - "Disaster Dice".

Then, a black dice appeared in his hand, with blood-red numbers engraved on the six sides of the dice. At the same time, the events corresponding to the six numbers were recorded in Ke Mingye's mind.

The puppet stretched out its hand and threw the dice forward. The dice rolled in the air above the street, finally landing, bouncing, and stopping.

Soon, the corresponding events occurred.

 (Note: After writing each event, the author uses the dial on his phone to decide the outcome, so the outcome is determined by heaven, not by the author)
