"Are you the owner of this place?" The woman scrutinized Lin Chen with a measured gaze.
Lin Chen nodded politely and asked, "Yes, I'm Lin Chen, the owner of this cinema. May I ask your name?"
"Mu Wanqing."
She replied indifferently, then shifted her attention to the blackboard beside her, looking it over with interest.
After a moment, Mu Wanqing said, "Interesting! Give me a ticket."
"The ticket price is 580 yuan."
Mu Wanqing nodded without surprise at the price but didn't reach for her wallet. Instead, she instructed Shen Hao beside her, "Pay."
"Me?" Shen Hao was stunned, dumbfounded.
"I've spent too much on games lately and have no money. You cover it for me first." Mu Wanqing's tone was calm and cold as usual.
Too much money spent on games?!
If anyone else said that, it might seem normal.
But coming from Mu Wanqing, the aloof beauty with a cold demeanor, the contrast was so strong it left Lin Chen and Shen Hao speechless.
Lin Chen: ...??
Shen Hao: ...??
Seeing Shen Hao's confusion, Mu Wanqing snorted coldly, "What, you don't want to?"
Snapping out of it, Shen Hao immediately put on a huge smile and flattered, "How could I not? It's an honor to pay when the boss asks."
He quickly pulled out his wallet and paid the 580 yuan.
Lin Chen took a Liability Waiver from the drawer, saying, "It's our rule that before watching Shutter, you must sign a Liability Waiver."
Mu Wanqing glanced over it quickly, found nothing amiss, and signed her name.
Lin Chen wasn't a fool — he knew Shen Hao was an elite from the Forensic Department at the medical university.
From Shen Hao's attitude toward Mu Wanqing, it was clear she wasn't ordinary — likely a professor or senior forensic expert at their school.
To avoid trouble, Lin Chen asked, "Do you want a cola?"
Mu Wanqing nodded. Without hesitation, Shen Hao paid.
Mu Wanqing took a small sip of the cola.
"Let's go, I'll take you to the Screening Room."
Relieved to see her drink the cola, Lin Chen led the way.
Inside the Screening Room, Mu Wanqing casually chose a seat and started examining the layout and decor.
[System Prompt: One viewer detected. Play movie?]
"Play!"
Silently activating playback, Lin Chen quickly left the Screening Room.
The dark, empty room was now occupied by only Mu Wanqing.
An ordinary woman might be uneasy, but Mu Wanqing was calm and emotionless.
The screen lit up with blood-red hues spreading across the room like fresh blood, eerie and sinister music filling the air.
After a long opening, the movie began.
Faced with such realistic 3D effects, Mu Wanqing surprisingly showed amazement, praising aloud, "Impressive 3D effects!"
As the plot progressed, the first climax arrived.
Black strands of hair rose from the bottom of a flooded sink.
Pale hands emerged from the water.
"Ahhhh!!"
A shrill scream echoed as a hateful female ghost appeared.
Mu Wanqing slightly raised her brow but showed no fear.
Instead, she stared wide-eyed without blinking at the ghost.
The ghost's twisted smile appeared as it stepped forward, slowly approaching her.
Watching the ghost come closer, Mu Wanqing took a sip of cola and murmured,
"The corneas are completely clouded and white, indicating death occurred at least seven days ago. Normally by then, the soft tissue liquefies, organs rot and swell due to gas buildup. But this ghost remains slender — that's not reasonable.
If the corpse was frozen immediately after death, there wouldn't be localized decay or maggots."
Before she finished, the ghost vanished without warning.
"Shen Hao is useless if he can't tell real corpses from fakes. Looks like his internship will be extended."
Mu Wanqing shook her head slightly, clearly disappointed.
