Soon, the show-off youth broke the silence, unable to resist asking, "What exactly did you see in there? How could it scare you all so much?"
The big-eyed girl sneered, "Aren't you so tough? Go see for yourself then."
Mocked by a girl repeatedly, the youth felt embarrassed and scoffed, "I don't believe it. What tricks could a horror movie possibly have?"
With that, he threw down money on the counter. "Boss, give me a ticket."
Though the others felt the movie wasn't so simple, their curiosity was uncontrollable — they wanted to see what was inside the Screening Room.
Also, people tend to be overconfident — just because others can't do it, doesn't mean they can't.
Selling another nine tickets, Lin Chen was delighted.
In just half an hour this morning, he'd already made over fifteen thousand yuan — truly a joyful time.
The crowd watched the nine people enter the Screening Room with strange smiles.
Especially the big-eyed girl, who was already rehearsing what to mock the show-off youth with once he came out.
Blood-red hues filled the Screening Room.
Eerie music haunted their minds. A wave of panic crept into their hearts.
The show-off youth looked at the vivid 3D effects on the screen and sneered, "So it's just the 3D and sound effects tricking these weaklings. When I finish, I'll go out and slap you all."
He thought he'd figured out the cinema's tricks.
The long intro ended, and the movie formally began.
When the camera moved to the school scene, the film reached its first small climax.
As the protagonist's camera lens passed over students, a terrifying ghost face suddenly appeared.
Screams echoed throughout the Screening Room.
Even the show-off youth was startled.
Wiping sweat from his forehead, he admitted, "I have to say, the 3D effects are damn good — almost like real life."
Time passed. When the scene shifted to the photo developing room, the eerie music sped up, and the temperature began dropping.
A chilling breeze caused goosebumps.
Some timid viewers quietly closed their eyes.
Having watched Shutter multiple times, the youth expected the ghost's appearance and leaned back, bracing himself.
Water flowed from the faucet into the sink.
As the water level rose, tension grew.
Soon, strands of black hair floated to the surface, forming a human head shape.
Then, pale hands reached out, gripping the sink's edge.
Thanks to the vivid 3D effects, it felt as if the ghost was emerging right before them.
Before anyone could react, the ghost stood before them, glaring with white eyes and hatred.
Seeing this, everyone felt their scalp tingle and limbs grow cold.
But the real terror was just beginning.
The ghost smiled menacingly and stepped toward the crowd.
"Holy shit! Ghost!"
"Run!"
"This cinema really has ghosts!"
Amid the screams, terrified people scrambled for the exit.
"It's fake! It's all fake — just a movie!"
The show-off youth kept insisting, though he was panting heavily, sweating profusely, and trembling uncontrollably.
"It's just 3D effects, nothing to fear," he muttered, trying to calm himself.
But as the ghost neared, he clearly saw the decayed parts crawling with maggots, accompanied by an icy chill.
"This is a movie, it's just 3D... Fuck, ghost!"
Finally, unable to hold back his fear, he jumped up like mad and scrambled out of the Screening Room.
[System Prompt: Nine viewers exited; screening ended. Fear Points +2777!]
Seeing the show-off youth flee, those he mocked earlier rushed over.
The big-eyed girl folded her arms and loudly teased, "Wow, mister, you're so awesome! You lasted 13 minutes — a whole minute longer than us. Good job!"
This caused laughter.
A crew-cut young man mocked, "Maybe he just ran slower 'cause his legs were weak."
"Dude, didn't you watch Shutter five times last night? Did you watch the wrong movie?"
"Shut up, you're making this dude so mad his face turned white!"
"I'm laughing so hard I'm about to, uh, lose control!"
