Chapter 64: Jing Tian's Invitation (Please Collect and Recommend)

"Horror movie?" Jing Tian's eyes suddenly lit up: "Great, great, let's watch this one!"

She loved watching horror movies.

Just American horror movies; isn't it all just blood and ketchup? What's there to be afraid of?

"Let's go, let's get in." Jing Tian pulled Qi Hui and walked briskly into the multimedia classroom.

Though called a multimedia room, the setup was actually similar to a cinema, only much larger than a cinema.

Qi Hui, being pulled by her, wore a somewhat strange expression.

He had seen the movie Insidious before his transmigration; its original title should have been The Conjuring, but this film didn't rely on gore to scare people, unlike typical American horror movies.

The male lead was the same male lead from The Conjuring, and the director was also the same director from The Conjuring.

To be honest, it was a bit scary.

Qi Hui originally wanted to mention The Conjuring, but The Conjuring hadn't been released yet; it would take a few years.

So he mentioned Saw instead.

However, watching this film with the mindset of viewing a traditional American horror movie would probably not be good.

Just as Qi Hui was pondering, Jing Tian had already pulled him to a seat by the window in the second-to-last row.

The girl was rubbing her fists, eager to try; it was clear she really loved horror movies.

I hope you aren't scared later... Qi Hui rolled his eyes, sighed slightly, and also found it a bit funny.

On the projection screen, the image shifted, the opening appeared, and blood-red letters appeared one after another.

"Senior brother, do you have any plans for your upcoming work?" Jing Tian asked, looking forward to the movie while subtly inquiring.

Qi Hui raised an eyebrow, feeling something was off: "I'll talk to my agent first, then make a decision."

He said something ambiguous.

Jing Tian's eyes shifted, and she said softly: "I'm missing a male lead for a movie; how about you help me?"

"Ah, this..." Qi Hui widened his eyes; was he really being kept by a rich woman?

But then he thought again, something was wrong; this girl's movies flopped one after another.

"Ahem... what type of movie is it?" Qi Hui asked just as subtly: "I've never acted in a movie; I might not be up to the task."

"A period piece," Jing Tian explained. "A story set in the Warring States period."

Warring States... Qi Hui's eye twitched, and he immediately understood what kind of movie it was.

He was about to speak, but on the projection screen, the image appeared, and the movie began.

"Let's watch the movie first; we can talk after," Qi Hui said, starting his delaying tactic.

"Mm, mm!" Jing Tian nodded repeatedly; this movie was only about an hour long, so there was no rush.

As they spoke, the camera moved through a dark house, finally stopping on an old woman wearing a black wedding dress.

Pretending to be mysterious... As the audience raised such thoughts, the image shifted again, and blood-red letters appeared.

It turned out the movie hadn't started yet; it was still the opening credits.

Shortly after, the screen flashed rapidly through various images: children, adults, photographs, a photo of a family of four.

Finally, the image stopped beside a sleeping white woman; she woke up groggily, put on her pajamas, went downstairs, and began her day's busyness.

In the scene, the house was somewhat messy, with various large cardboard boxes placed around; it was clear they had just moved in not long ago.

At the same time, the family's sweet life began temporarily.

Qi Hui rubbed his nose; The Conjuring also had this kind of opening.

The movie's main character's family moved house, arrived in an unfamiliar place, and then it was the family's daily life.

However relaxed it is now, how terrifying it will be later.

Soon, an incident occurred: the eight-year-old eldest son fell, and from then on, he lay in a coma; doctors examined him and found everything normal, but the child simply wouldn't wake up.

And with this child's coma, various eerie things began happening in the house.

Stranger after stranger appeared eerily in the house, walking around;

The tightly closed front door would, in the blink of an eye, inexplicably swing wide open completely;

In the baby monitor of the little daughter's nursery, a burly, deep male voice was heard.

Within a few days, the female lead discovered her home was overcrowded.

A sinister, pale man even appeared, demanding the female lead give him her little daughter.

At this, the female lead collapsed and immediately decided to move house.

But in James Wan's movies, where is the protagonist who solves problems by moving house?

Soon, the new house was once again overcrowded, and the desperate female lead could only seek help from a medium.

The medium told her, "Your son is astral projecting... that is, his soul has left his body."

Plus, since he was born with a medium's sacred physique, all the evil spirits were targeting his body.

Beside Qi Hui, Jing Tian had long lost her earlier anticipation; her small face was scared pale, and sometimes she even covered her eyes, too afraid to look.

Qi Hui suggested stopping and going somewhere else to play, but Jing Tian refused, insisting on watching until the end.

Cowardly yet wanting to watch!

Helplessly, Qi Hui offered his arm.

Jing Tian hurriedly hugged it and wouldn't let go; the heart raised to her throat calmed down slightly.

Security returned!

So fragrant... Qi Hui raised an eyebrow; warm fragrance and soft jade were made concrete at this moment.

No wonder couples love watching horror movies; there are actually many hidden benefits!

Ding-ling-ling~

The ringtone rang out abruptly and unnaturally.

"Ah!" Jing Tian shivered, screamed in fright, and instinctively clung tightly to Qi Hui's arm, her eyes wide with terror.

"Cough, cough... Don't be nervous, it's my phone." Smelling the fragrance of the girl beside him, Qi Hui took out his phone, glanced at it, and found it was an unknown call.

Without a second thought, he immediately hung up.

Not only did he hang up, he even removed the battery.

Getting a call like that while watching a horror movie was quite frightening.

"Oh, oh, so it was just a ringtone..." Jing Tian breathed a sigh of relief, looking as if she had survived a near-death experience.

By now, she had completely forgotten about the male lead of the movie "Warring States."

Seeing Jing Tian like a frightened rabbit made Qi Hui chuckle; he picked up his iPhone 4 and took a selfie with her.

Jing Tian saw it but paid no mind, merely giving a reproachful sound before letting Qi Hui do as he pleased.

She was now immersed in the movie.

In the movie on the screen, with the help of a medium the female lead had found, the male lead fought his way through every obstacle and finally brought back his son's soul.

Seeing the perfectly resolved ending, Jing Tian breathed a huge sigh of relief.

But on the screen, the movie was not yet over.

With a simple contact, the medium discovered something wrong with the male lead.

After a brief test, she found that the male lead had been possessed by the old woman in the black wedding dress.

Once her true identity was exposed, the old woman in the black wedding dress killed the medium directly, then used the male lead's body to live a happy life with the female lead and the child.

However, the female lead discovered clues left behind by the medium earlier and knew that the person before her was not her husband.

At this, the audience's hearts were once again tightly suspended.

The movie ended, and Jing Tian's small face was deathly pale, clearly not yet recovered.

"Are we still going to Happy Valley?" Qi Hui felt both annoyed and amused; this girl was truly both timid and loved to play.

Qi Hui took out his iPhone and took another selfie with her.

"N-no... I'm not going!" Jing Tian, her face pale, clung to Qi Hui's arm and refused to let go.

All she wanted now was to go home and hug her little blanket tightly.

"Then I'll take you back," Qi Hui smiled. "I was originally thinking of going to the haunted house with you."

Jing Tian's face turned even paler; she trembled all the way, not knowing how she got home.

When she came to her senses, she found herself already in bed, wrapped in her blanket.

Ding-dong~

Downstairs, Qi Hui had sent her two photos.

Jing Tian picked up her phone to look and immediately her pretty face turned bright red.

In the photos, she was hanging on Qi Hui like a koala.

Very tightly, so tightly that Qi Hui could kiss her just by turning his head.

"Oh my, oh my, oh my..." Jing Tian rolled around on the bed in shame: "What was I doing then? Why was I so unreserved?!"
