Li Xian quickly ran back and said that she was going back to book tickets. The caller was probably the organizer of one of her fan groups. It was probably some celebrity who was planning to come here, right? Lu Ning and Ying Caiyi also understood Li Xian's character, nodded and let him go, and then they went to the cinema together.
"Winter" is indeed a popular film that has been scheduled recently. Of course, you can't tell the content from the promotional poster, only who the actors are.
"Li Xilou, Rong Xiang, and Qin Zihao are starring?" Lu Ning looked at the poster, "I don't recognize these three people..."
"We're not here to see the actors. It doesn't matter who the actor is, as long as he performs well."
You should be glad that Li Xian didn't come, otherwise the two of them would have had to argue over this issue again. Lu Ning really didn't care much. The two bought tickets and walked into the cinema when the time came.
"Winter" is a suspense film but does not have a detective character. The plot is about a newlywed couple who choose to travel by car for their honeymoon, and come to a desolate town, where they encounter all kinds of mysterious things. Li Xilou and Rong Xiang play the couple, while Qin Zihao plays another major role, a local antique shop owner who provides them with a lot of help in the area. Judging from the plot of the first thirty minutes, the atmosphere and character acting are quite good. Although the light is bright for most of the time, you can still feel the surging conspiracy mixed with it.
"What do you think happened?"
The two of them were sitting in the back row. At this time, the movie theater was not completely full, so Ying Caiyi asked Lu Ning in a low voice.
"Perhaps it was a conspiracy set up by the locals, and they happened to hit it. I think it might be that they drove through a woods in the first episode, right? There seemed to be some figures in the woods, and the sound of passing vehicles was more obvious. , Those people probably thought their actions were discovered." Lu Ning also replied in a low voice.
"I didn't notice..." Ying Caiyi said in surprise, and then the two fell silent and continued watching.
For Lu Ning, the film was indeed good, but the observation and judgment she had developed allowed her to basically detect all the foreshadowing details of the film, which made the ending less surprising. But overall it's really good, no wonder it gets so many positive reviews.
"It feels good."
When the end credits finally appeared, the lights came on, and Ying Caiyi stretched her waist. Judging from her expression, she must be very satisfied with it.
"Yeah, it's actually just incomplete information. It's a hidden manifestation of local people's rejection of outsiders. It's used in many works. It just needs to be photographed well." Lu Ning said.
"We also come here to go to college."
"Because the environment of the university is more tolerant, it would probably be different if you went to school by yourself in some other small village. The way of xenophobia is not just a cold treatment, the locals can do it on the one hand. Your warm welcome makes you feel at home. On the one hand, all your knowledge of the local area is superficial, which is also an exclusive method."
"Hmm...are you taking it a bit seriously? After all, there is no need to tell anyone about local private matters."
"That's right. After all, the tourists themselves don't come here to hear these things. In most cases, the two parties don't conflict with each other. But the situation in the movie is different. It's obvious that outsiders have been involved, but they still treat them in an xenophobic way. They, this is the initial contradiction created by the plot of the movie."
"You can really think about it. I think I'm satisfied with it and it's worth the ticket price. Okay." Ying Caiyi clapped her hands.
"Hahaha, this is the mentality when watching a movie."
It was already past three o'clock in the afternoon after watching the movie, and the day passed quite quickly. The two of them had to prepare for class tomorrow, so they didn't stay any longer and went back to the street corner to call a taxi.
At this time, a parade wearing uniform black robes passed through the pedestrian street. The group of people held signs in their hands, as if they were speaking out for people who had suffered unfair treatment. This kind of parade was very rare, and pedestrians on the street were stunned. They all moved out of the way, and Lu Ning followed Caiyi and retreated to the side of the road.
These people didn't shout any slogans, they just passed by silently holding signs, which created an invisible sense of oppression. After these people passed by, Ying Caiyi patted his chest: "It's really scary, why is there still a parade?" team.”
"Generally speaking... parades are allowed. These people don't make trouble and should be organized." Lu Ning also said, "But it is indeed quite rare."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a commotion in the team. A person in the team suddenly fell to the ground and began to twitch all over. The people around him were no longer as calm as before, and they squatted down to surround the person.
At this moment, Lu Ning saw the deflection caused by the distortion point.
"how……"
Chi.
A stream of bright red liquid with a height of two to three meters spewed out from the crowd, like a fountain. The liquid scattered in the air and fell to the ground, making a crackling sound. The confused crowd around him was stunned for about two or three seconds, and then someone reacted and started shouting.
"Call the hospital and I'll go see what's going on." Lu Ning patted Ying Caiyi and asked her to wait where she was before she rushed over in two steps. Those marching people were also in a state of panic, but no one ran away. Some of them took out their mobile phones, and some tried to treat the people in the middle. In short, their actions were different. Lu Ning squeezed nearby and took a look - there was a blood hole near the heart of the man who convulsed and fell to the ground. The blood just spurted out from there. The pressure of the arterial blood completed the final push. Now the man is dead. Thoroughly.
"Call the police."
When Lu Ning said this, someone next to her said in a panic: "Call the police? But, if this happens..."
Lu Ning understood what was going on with them in an instant. If it weren't for some kind of benefit or purpose, it would be impossible for him to stay where he was when encountering such a thing, and no one would even call the police. But she didn't want to worry about this. It was troublesome enough that distortions were blooming all around her. Whether she was the initiator or was deceived, she should go to the police first and explain clearly.
The police arrived quickly, followed by an ambulance. The killing of people on the street was naturally different from the previous battles with thieves. The scene was quickly cordoned off and all relevant personnel were kept in the area. Since there were many people witnessing the parade, some police officers began to ask for testimonies on the spot, and 80% of the people involved in the parade would be taken back to the police station to cooperate with the investigation.
Lu Ning retreated to Ying Caiyi's side. In such a chaotic situation, few people noticed her. At most, she could only provide a statement to the police at the scene. She and Ying Caiyi were not in trouble either.
"what happened?"
"I don't know. One person died, but it was a strange death. Every one of these people has to go to the police station to explain themselves." Lu Ning glanced at the parade of people who were being led into police cars in batches. If there was someone behind the scenes controlling this Well, I probably expected this result. In other words, when that person dies in the street, the other person's purpose is accomplished.
Distortion point...what exactly is it?
=
"Brother Fang, distortion points have become more frequent recently."
Meng Bin quickly walked into the chief's office with a stack of documents. As soon as the police chief put down the phone, he immediately had a painful expression on his face when he saw Meng Bin.
"What's wrong? You won't be unhappy to see me, will you?"
"Happy, the problem is...Brother Meng, there has never been much trouble in my place. However, after you came, the incident report was like dumplings. Did you chase them here, or did they follow you?" The director sighed. Take a breath.
"As you say, we all eat public food, how can I harm you? If the evil cult is not eradicated, it will always spring up again, and this is also the case with the Distortion Point incident."
"Brother Meng, although it's not easy for me to inquire about things in your circle, but there is such a turmoil in the city this time, you have to give me something practical. What is going on? Do you have any clues?"
Meng Bin sat down, picked up the kettle on the table, poured himself a glass, and said with a smile: "This aberration incident is also one of the superpower rampages, but it has spread, and one of them has reached your city. You I also have more detailed information that I would like to know, but that is all historical information, and it is no longer possible to follow this clue."
"Tell me about it."
"Actually, it is a relatively common accident caused by a person with superpowers not being able to control himself. About two years ago, an eight-year-old boy had superpowers. He could see things in the zero dimension."
"I don't understand this. Just tell me what happened and what the consequences were."
"Okay, okay. This boy just got superpowers, and he is as ignorant as you about what they are. In the elementary school course, he drew pictures and wrote words about what he saw."
It is difficult to describe what he saw in words, and even people still cannot describe whether the form presented by the zero dimension is actually the epitome of the infinite dimension, but those words and paintings triggered the first "distortion point" after being read. ", caused a minor accident at school, which sent two teachers and a student to the hospital.
The relationship between children is often coincidental. No one really knows that the problem is caused by the boy's calligraphy and paintings. However, because those are so weird, the boy becomes what the children call a "little monster" and suffers. To the exclusion.
What happened next was a bit bizarre.
First of all, in order to prove that he is not a "little monster", the boy himself strives to show his "normality" to the children. This behavior also leads to the spread of more sources of "distortion points". Then, some children took what the boy had written home and showed it to their parents. This dissemination led to the formation of the first group of believers.
"The first batch of believers?" The director was surprised, "So the ones here are not the first batch? No, wait, these things can affect the sanity of ordinary people?"
Meng Bin nodded: "Otherwise, what do you think it is? When the distortion point first appeared, it was not an intentional act at all. It was just a poor superpower who became the link leading to different worlds, and was deliberately used by some people. These Believers are not stupid people. On the contrary, they are very smart people. Although they are affected, they also immediately understand what they can do with this knowledge."
"Well... they spread it completely."
"Yes, the first ten believers have either died or been arrested in our pursuit, but they have passed on their own things. We have reason to believe that one of the believers who claims to be the Oriyu Man is hiding here. And continue the business of spreading these out.”
The director shook his head slightly, picked up a notebook on the table and threw it to Meng Bin.
"Today, 13 more incidents related to distortion points were reported, including a fatal accident at the Zhaoxing North Road Pedestrian Street. We are still hearing the news and sorting out the confessions, so we will screen them out for you first. Last night, the suburbs were unfinished. All the bodies in the building have not yet been identified.”
"Thanks."
"How many believers are there now? What is their purpose? Tell me clearly. I want to hold the position of director for a few more years. Brother Meng, I hope you won't hide this anymore."
"It's easy to say. The person with superpowers is actually no longer alive, so the number of first drafts transmitted from him will not continue to increase. Now we meet all believers who have learned through knowledge. In other words, the real Only those ten believers have received the first-hand inheritance of native knowledge, and only these ten and their successors are in trouble."
"But according to what you said, isn't that something that can be learned?"
"If you are willing to listen to my introduction, you will know that the knowledge that the boy saw is a... use item, which is not consistent with our understanding. For example, it is like a gold brick, at the same time It can only be stored in one box. It cannot be cut and dispersed into other boxes, but it can be transferred to another box intact. All the remaining believers know is that there is a gold brick in that box. matter."
"What you are studying is really puzzling." The director said with a headache. Of course he could understand what Meng Bin said, but this was a headache. This was not a familiar area with common sense solutions.
"So, leave it to us. Don't worry, Director, your position will not be harshly criticized for this kind of issue that is beyond your control. The premise is...fully cooperate with us." Meng Bin smiled.
"I know."
Meng Bin nodded and continued: "As for the purpose, we actually don't quite understand the thoughts of those madmen. The box in which the gold bricks were taken away became an empty shell, and even the things originally placed in it no longer exist, unless We can catch a true believer, otherwise it’s useless.”
At this time, he paused while flipping through the information.
The notebook was something that the director coordinated and summarized. Because he was asked to assist, he recorded many suspected cases and marked the confirmed ones. However, Meng Bin has good speed reading skills, so he also read some brief excerpts recorded earlier.
"Brother Fang, there was a theft incident here in Zhaoxing before?"
"That has nothing to do with the distortion point. It has been tested with the machine you gave." The director said.
"Ah, of course I believe Brother Fang, but it's a little coincidence..."
