Suddenly, the background music in the movie grew intense.
At the same time, a disheveled shadow appeared without warning right in front of Wang Chong.
"WTF!!!"
The sudden apparition scared Wang Chong so much that he nearly jumped out of his seat.
The shadow was about five or six meters away, cloaked in darkness; though indistinct, Wang Chong clearly felt the surrounding temperature drop instantly, accompanied by gusts of cold wind.
This wind was unlike air conditioning; it chilled to the bone and pierced the heart.
Thinking he was hallucinating, Wang Chong rubbed his eyes quickly. But when he opened them again, the shadow hadn't vanished—instead, it was less than two meters away, silently staring at him.
Goosebumps instantly broke out all over Wang Chong's body.
"Ah!!"
At that moment, Lu Xiaoran let out a sharp scream.
She had closed her eyes in advance, but it was useless because the shadow had appeared directly in her mind.
Luckily, the shadow lasted only an instant before disappearing.
Recovering, Wang Chong was still shaken, fearfully scanning the surroundings, afraid the shadow would reappear.
His back was drenched in cold sweat.
"Xiaoran, I... I think I just saw a shadow standing right... right in front of me." Wang Chong panted, trying to calm his frightened nerves.
"I saw it too!"
Lu Xiaoran's voice trembled with tears, clearly deeply frightened. She reached out and tightly grasped Wang Chong's arm, seeking comfort.
After the shadow appeared, the movie's atmosphere gradually eased.
With this respite, the two fully recovered from their shock.
After a moment's thought, Wang Chong suddenly exclaimed, "Damn, Lin Chen's kid's got skills — this 3D effect is way too realistic."
"3D effect?" Lu Xiaoran blinked.
"Of course 3D effect! Xiaoran, you don't seriously think there's a ghost, do you?"
Although the shadow only appeared for about a second, its shape was exactly as Wang Chong remembered from the movie's plot. So he believed it was a 3D effect.
He had never seen such realistic 3D movies before; for a moment just now, he really thought a ghost was standing before him.
Suddenly, Wang Chong felt the 380-yuan ticket price wasn't such a rip-off after all.
After hearing Wang Chong's explanation, Lu Xiaoran relaxed, but a question lingered: Why did she see the shadow despite closing her eyes?
Accepting the 3D effect explanation gave them some reassurance.
As the movie played on, the ghost appeared several times. Although they were still scared, it was not as intense as before.
Unconsciously, the movie plot passed the halfway point.
At this moment, the ghost appeared again.
Black hair floated inside the toilet bowl on screen.
The terrifying image flashed briefly; the characters thought they were hallucinating, shook their heads, and continued sitting on the toilet.
Lu Xiaoran hugged Wang Chong's arm tightly, curling up, staring nervously at the screen.
She vaguely felt something moving under the seat — like a hand lightly scratching her buttocks with nails.
The sharp nails scratched rhythmically, one stroke after another.
Accompanied by faint scratching sounds against denim: "scratch scratch."
She glanced at Wang Chong, thinking he was teasing her, and scolded, "Wang Chong, stop it."
"Huh? Stop what?" Wang Chong was puzzled.
Seeing him feign ignorance, Lu Xiaoran said angrily, "What are your hands doing?"
"My hands? What about my hands?"
He raised his hands. Just then, he also felt an itch on his butt.
Lu Xiaoran froze and raised her own hands.
None of their four hands moved — so who was scratching them under the seat?
"There's... someone... scratching me under the seat." Lu Xiaoran almost cried, tears welling, trembling uncontrollably.
"Hiss!"
Wang Chong gasped; a chill rose from his soles straight to his brain. The eerie feeling made his skin crawl with goosebumps.
They exchanged terrified glances.
Suddenly, a scream came from the screen as a character shouted and fell to the ground. Then a pale hand suddenly reached out from the toilet!
Their seats were at least ten meters from the screen, but the ghostly hand seemed right in front of them!
This scene was the last straw, utterly breaking their mental defense.
Forget 3D effects or realism!
Their only thought: This cinema has ghosts!
"Ah!! Ghost!"
Lu Xiaoran couldn't bear it and screamed sharply, springing up from her seat.
Wang Chong was no better, scrambling down and pulling Lu Xiaoran out of the screening room.
