Chapter 8: Horror Theater
"That'...... What if it rises to Nightmare difficulty? ”
Thinking of what happened to him, Li Xiaoxuan still has lingering palpitations. Even if you have a purple auxiliary equipment, you will be beaten all over the street, and those monsters are not at all something that ordinary people can deal with, if it weren't for the extraordinary strength of the data-based body, ignore ......
Wait, digitization?
As if he had thought of something, he immediately said: "Could it be that in a horror movie, the digital body of a tourist will be beaten back to the prototype?" ”
Clara didn't speak, but the look of helplessness on her face made it clear that it was exactly what he had suspected.
"Oh my God."
"You don't have to be too desperate, there are currently thirteen entertainment district buildings in Happy Valley, and the movie theater is just one of them, which means that every time you receive a task, the probability of participating in a horror movie is only 1/13."
Actually, I don't want to go anywhere...... A certain Xuan burst into tears in his heart.
"See this poster?" "There is no list of actors on it for the time being, but it won't be long before the names of the leading actors and supporting actors will appear one by one, and anyone who writes their names will be immediately notified of the mission, the same as any other mission, which is also enforced, and the name can only be erased from it by suicide." ”
"Why does Happy Valley let tourists come to the movies? And it's a horror movie! Li Xiaoxuan still felt ridiculous.
If it's a romance movie or something, kiss your mouth, touch your hands, and endure it, this horror movie is too unfriendly.
"Huh."
Clara chuckled and walked over to the couch inside the hall and sat down.
"It's actually a completely different mode than going on a mission in a nightmare world. It doesn't have any main quest ......"
"What do you think you need to prepare to make a real movie?" She asked.
"Of course, it's the director, the actors, the makeup artist...... Camera! ”
"No, no, no. These are secondary. Clara shook her head and said, "A movie, no matter how cool the name is and how luxurious the cast, must have a script!" ”
"A good enough script."
Aren't you talking nonsense, how can you film without a script. A certain Xuan said secretly. But he was still listening carefully to what she was saying.
"When a visitor plays the corresponding role in a horror film as an actor, he needs to follow the script. For example, if you play the role of an elementary school teacher, then the scope of activities is basically limited to school, home, and this area. You can't just go wherever you want (like going abroad). ”
"For important characters, the script will even write their personalities...... The tourist who plays the role must also be logical and must not do anything that is contrary to the character's character. ”
"The script will also stipulate some things that must be done, such as asking you to get up in the middle of the night to go to school to pick up the lesson plan on the grounds that you forgot to bring the lesson plan; or visit students' homes in remote areas on the grounds of education......"
"What if, what if you meet a ghost on the way?"
"Run."
Clara only said one word. Then, she got up and walked to the second floor with Li Xiaoxuan, and on the way, she said:
"We don't have much to do against the goblins, so we can only run."
"But if you can't kill these monsters, the source of terror can't be eliminated, so when will the movie end?"
"I repeat, it's not a main quest in a nightmare world, it's a horror movie." Standing on the fluffy red carpet, Clara stood at the entrance on the second floor and said, "Once the final curtain is over, visitors will be able to return." You don't need to go head-to-head with the ghosts. ”
The second floor is much the same as the first floor, with an ornate hall and several movie screening areas with Arabic numerals written on the doors. The difference is that in the hall on this floor, in addition to a few posters, there is also a self-service ticket office.
As they spoke, the two came to stand in front of the ticket office.
Clara clicked on the touchscreen monitor in the front desk, and a bunch of horror movies popped up on it.
"Scare Notes"
"Saucer 5"
"Green Beast of the Deep Forest"
......
There are a total of 7 films, all of which are horror films without exception, and each film is marked with a price and ticket deadline at the end, and at the bottom of the list is "Patient Zero".
The lowest ticket price is a movie called "Midnight Resurrection", which costs only 150 tokens, which is the cheapest of several movies, and the most expensive is "Patient Zero", which costs up to 400 tokens.
"Miss Ke, can we still buy tickets to watch these movies?"
Li Xiaoxuan was puzzled.
"Absolutely. The tokens we spend will eventually become the remuneration of the actors who participated in the horror film! "However, only the tourists who survive will be paid." I can't get a dime for the dead. ”
"Watching a movie here is no ordinary experience...... If you have the opportunity to buy a ticket to see it, you will find that it is definitely an immersive experience. ”
"It's so real that it explodes!"
"But, even if it's true, this ticket price is inevitably too expensive, right?"
Just kidding, the most expensive ticket actually costs 400 tokens, and the money for his task settlement is not enough to watch a few movies.
"It's definitely worth the money, the more expensive the ticket, the better the effect, you can gain a lot from it, and you also have the opportunity to feel some skills, or improve a little personal attributes."
"Of course, it would be a loss if it was just that, but every token used to buy movie tickets will be converted into a score at a ratio of 10:1 after payment...... In fact, if you really calculate it, watching a movie is still more worthwhile. ”
"It can even be converted into a score!"
His eyes widened, and he felt that this place was not simple. The badge hasn't arrived yet, and the rating store hasn't been opened, so it's hard to comment on anything.
......
There were also a few people who couldn't see their faces clearly, about a dozen, all sitting around a small round table, looking like they were waiting for a movie to be released.
After a little thought about it according to the release date, Li Xiaoxuan deduced the movie they wanted to watch.
It should be 'Saucer Immortal 5'. Ticket price is 200 tokens.
It seems that if you have spare money, you should come to this movie theater to spend some money. A certain Xuan thought to himself.
"Let's go, it's almost halfway over, Miss Ben will take you to the next attraction."
With that, Clara walked downstairs.
"Hey, beauty. Don't go, I haven't gone upstairs yet. Li Xiaoxuan hurriedly said.
"No need to go, that place is pretty much the same as this floor."
......
......
Coming out of the movie theater, Clara took the unfinished Li Xiaoxuan across a bridge and walked towards a cartoon castle.
On the road.
"What kind of horror movies do you say are shown in theaters?" Li Xiaoxuan asked vigorously, "Is it just dealing with 'ghosts' and the like?" ”
"Not really."
She answered Li Xiaoxuan's latter question first, and then said slowly:
"There are quite a lot of types, including but not limited to Chinese spirits and ghosts. Like Western vampires, werewolves, fantasy monsters (Cthulhu system); Dongying's urban weird talk, dark fairy tales; Head lowering surgery in Southeast Asia, causal reincarnation...... And so on, and even the end-time crisis. ”
"Do you usually like to watch horror movies?" "I'm talking about real-world horror movies. ”
"I've seen some."
After a moment's hesitation, Li Xiaoxuan said: "Curse, Ghost Street, Friday the 13th, Resident Evil...... I've basically watched a little bit of these more famous movie series. ”
"Well, there's also some remake of classic horror movies. Take Curse Grudge as an example, there used to be a movie here called 'Cursed 4: The Extremely Fierce Ancient House'. It's a remake of the original Curse, and the content hasn't changed much, but the scenes have changed. ”
