Chapter 20: A World That Ended Abruptly
The banquet hall, which was still in the midst of joy, was suddenly enraged by Karl, the son of a steel tycoon, and the guests were thrown into chaos. Many nobles were asking who Ruth was.
After learning that Ruth is Carl's fiancΓ©e, there seems to be a very unfortunate piece of news. It is likely that Ruth accidentally fell into the sea to feed the fish. So these guests can understand Carl's anger.
Just then, one of the crew members shouted, "Mr. Karl, I know who Miss Ruth was with before. β
Sure enough, Jack, who had not yet recovered from Ruth's unexpected tragic death, was brought to Carl.
Facing the furious Carl, Jack was frightened and pointed at Lin Ming, who was sitting on the side talking to a nobleman, and shouted: "It's him, it's all because of him!" Miss Ruth accidentally fell off the bow of the boat! β
Karl didn't seem to believe at all, and he roared angrily: "You bastard, and that shameless bitch, give me death." β
I saw that Carl, the son of the angry steel tycoon, suddenly took out a gun and aimed it at Jack's forehead, and slammed it. Jack had an extra hole in his forehead.
Lin Ming saw Jack's dead appearance and fell to the ground.
At this moment, Lin Ming was in a sudden trance in front of him, and then he felt that the world around him began to change from real to virtual, and then between the rapid flow of light and shadow, he had come out of the movie world of the Titanic.
Looking around, it was still the private IMAX theater that he had embodied. On the projection screen in front of them, Jack and Ruth were shouting at the bow of the ship, as if everything they had just experienced was just an illusion.
Lin Ming never thought it was an illusion, he carefully recalled the feeling when he entered the movie world. In his heart, he was sure that just now, he really entered the world of the Titanic.
But why did the whole world of cinema come to an abrupt end? Could it be related to Ruth and Jack's deaths? Obviously, the existence of these two protagonists is very important for the entire film world.
Lin Ming fast-forwarded the Titanic movie from beginning to end. He was sure that there was no trace of himself in it, nor was there the British nobleman Lyrence Moore, who knew Huaxia very well with whom he was communicating.
This made Lin Ming have a few guesses, first of all, Lyrenth Moore is a character that exists in the world, but it does not exist in the movie. In other words, he is derived from the world itself, and has a complete experience and self.
Judging from Lyrlens Moore's remarks, in the Titanic movie world, the history of other regions has not actually changed much. Therefore, the people of that world should have no difference in their understanding of the whole world from the real world in history.
In other words, the movie world is actually real, the people in it have their own experiences, memories, and the world has history.
None of this is just a backdrop, the world of cinema has its own rules, such as the accidental death of the protagonist that has a ripple effect. And in the original work, the two protagonists are all dead, so the world is over.
However, in order to verify these speculations, Lin Ming felt that it was necessary to enter the Titanic world again to verify it.
But how do you get into the Titanic again? The movie was playing repeatedly on the screen in front of Lin Ming, and he thought back to the situation before he entered.
Pure appreciation, there is no emotion in the heart to enter, and then the surrounding environment will change, and then the screen will start to glow, and gradually become a portal.
After experimenting no less than 20 times, Lin Ming vaguely grasped the way to enter the movie world, and entered the world of the Titanic for the second time. But this time, he actually entered the scene at the beginning of the film, when the famous treasure hunter's research ship was salvaging the wreck of the Titanic.
And this time the process of entering was very unfriendly, Lin Ming appeared directly in mid-air, and then he began to be affected by the earth's gravity, and plunged directly into the sea.
Lin Ming was about to come out of the sea, when he saw a lifeboat on the salvage research ship, he lowered it, and quickly rushed towards the place where Lin Ming fell into the water.
This will not go into detail about how Lin Ming was rescued by the other party from this wet and cold sea, and then taken to the scientific research ship.
Lin Ming was being questioned by the members of this treasure hunt hunter team at this time.
In the face of this kind of inquiry, Lin Ming can only use amnesia to prevaricate. Obviously, this method of suddenly entering the movie world will not arrange a real identity for Lin Ming in this world.
Well, the people on the ship are actually in no mood to care about a Chinese man who suddenly came out and was shipwrecked. They were excitedly staring at the safe salvaged from the wreck of the Titanic.
On the deck of the expedition ship, a large crowd is gathering, one of whom is holding a chainsaw to open an old safe. While others opened the champagne to celebrate, even Lin Ming, an uninvited guest, was poured on his head by them.
"Well, I guess you'll soon be able to see the elderly Ruth who is ready to start telling the story later. And she'll sneak up on a priceless piece of the heart of the ocean and sink it into the depths of the ocean at night. I have to say that this kind of behavior is really 'romantic'. β
Lin Ming felt that his thoughts were really realistic and vulgar for a while, and he couldn't understand the great love contained in this kind of plot at all. Well, he actually remembered a certain spit post, such as Ruth and Jack's final self-help problem.
I have to say that modern people don't believe in love at all, so Lin Ming is puzzled that there are still a lot of small freshness in such a realistic country as the Celestial Empire. Well, it's actually a crazy puzzle at the box office after the release of the 3D Titanic that year.
Of course, Lin Ming is actually thinking about how to leave the current scene now. Indeed, the beginning of the Titanic has a sense of immediacy of a documentary, which will make people have,, could it be that there are really Ruth and Jack in history? This sense of immediacy.
But in fact, this is just the opening of the film that director Cameron added in order to enhance the audience's sense of substitution. The core of the whole film is the story that happened on the Titanic.
Lin Ming didn't really understand the principle of the operation of this movie world, so he chose to wait quietly and see what would happen later. Anyway, he found that although his superpowers were weakened, they were not unusable. If you have confidence in your heart, you can be a quiet bystander.
Sure enough, after these scientists found that in addition to a pile of mud and broken things in the safe, the most important treasure they hoped to find, that is, the Heart of the Ocean, was nowhere to be found. These people were all confused.
Lin Ming, who was secretly observing this group of treasure hunters named scientific research but was actually no different from tomb robbery from a distance, sneered in his heart, the heart of the ocean was taken away by Ruth as early as that year.
The leader of this team is the bad boy "Lovett", who is actually working with David Barry, the head of a consortium, to find the shipwreck treasure of the Titanic.
Lin Ming estimated that if the Heart of the Ocean really appeared, it might be sold for an incredible price in this world. After all, it's a sapphire in perfect condition, and it also contains a hidden history and a romantic love story.
So thinking of this, Lin Ming felt that he could do a small experiment, which could be regarded as a test of the existence and composition of the film world.
Lovett was on the phone explaining to David Barry, "Hey, David Barry, the diamond isn't in the safe. Don't worry though, it could be somewhere else. β
But it was clear that Barry's side didn't see it that way, but Lovett was financially constrained by the other party after all, so he had to follow the other party's words: "Yes, in hell, on the floor, in the mother's room." Safe on the C floor. β
Another member joked, "Or in Jamie Hoffa's box?" β
Lovett continued to reassure his partner: "There's still a lot to find, guys, a little confidence in my intuition, we're close to victory, and we're going to eliminate them one by one." I believe I'm going to find it soon. β
Then Lovett discovered the portrait of Ruth and, most importantly, the Heart of the Ocean that she carried. This made him very excited, and he was only one step away from the truth.
At this time, the crew of the research ship asked, "What about that Chinese?" β
"Ah, damn it! Out of humanitarian reasons, we have had helicopters sent. Just bring him back when the time comes. Damn, why did a Chinese suddenly appear. β
"But we just probed, and we didn't find any wreck fragments around here."
"I guess I was swept away by a sudden whirlpool. There are always accidents in this area. Didn't you see that even the Titanic sank? β
In fact, Lovett's attention is now all on the owner of the portrait, and he doesn't care about a Chinese person at all. Those crew members were just a little curious, but they didn't delve too deeply, but felt that Lin Ming's luck was good.
Of course, Lin Ming felt that he was still being watched by the other party, of course, because it was a modern society. As long as you don't make any out-of-the-ordinary moves. These people don't want to get into trouble.
Lin Ming knew that unless he sabotaged these people's actions, there would be no danger. After all, many media outlets are also paying attention to this salvage operation. Of course, Lovett, who was involved in this salvage operation, is a controversial figure. For example, in the name of a scientific expedition explorer, he is actually salvaging those ownerless things to make a fortune.
However, Lin Ming also knew that this kind of behavior was very common among these treasure hunters. If this film wasn't about a love story. It's likely that now Laura, Indiana Jones, is about to show up.
Titanic would have turned into an action-adventure movie. It ended with Big Bad Lovett being defeated by our righteous treasure hunters.
Thinking of this, Lin Ming showed a hint of a smile, after all, as a traverser, he was so sorry for himself if he didn't destroy the plot. Turning the Titanic into a modern-day version of Raiders of the Lost Ark: Heart of the Sea? It seems to be more interesting.
