054. Cinema

In late March, the night in Jiangcheng was a little cool, and the streets were full of pedestrians, but no one paid attention to who the people around them were.

Qiao Du and Du Ruo walked for more than 20 minutes and came to the more prosperous Binjiang Avenue.

This is the most prosperous street on the east bank of Jiangcheng, with office buildings and shopping malls on both sides, and even on weekday nights, there are still many tourists shuttling through it to feel the hustle and bustle of the big city.

The excitement is theirs, and Qiao Twilight has nothing.

He followed behind Du Ruo, curiously looking at the tall buildings around him.

Before Qiao Twilight, she also lived in a very prosperous international metropolis, where people live at a fast pace, just like here.

The two walked into one of the malls.

This mall was established relatively early, some years ago, many of the shops have closed down, or are busy for rent, and the few shops that are open are only doing takeaway business, which is incompatible with the prosperity next door.

Perhaps 20 years ago, it was the first batch of shopping malls to be established on the east bank of Jiangcheng, with a steady flow of customers, and it was a must for many children on weekend trips.

But it's all in the past.

The good location has led to high prices, and it may seem comical to rebuild it against the backdrop of the new commercial buildings nearby, but thankfully, it was at least once a childhood memory for many compared to the unfinished buildings that never glorified.

On the fourth floor of the mall, there is a cinema.

Next door to the cinema is a cheap KTV, which can only be searched on the review software of the mobile phone, and the reviews are mostly "dirty and messy", "cheap", "average service attitude" and so on.

As for the movie theater, laughing to death, you can't search at all.

"Can you see that?"

Du Ruo stood at the door of the movie theater and asked Qiao Dui.

"What did you say?"

Qiao Twilight glanced at the empty movie theater, the dim light box at the ticket office illuminated the movie that was being released today, and there was only one conductor, who was in the shadows and couldn't see his face clearly.

He quickly understood, and at the same time, in his vision, dark words like blood gushed out from the dark passage of the movie theater.

[Aha, do you know, when a person dies, he will come to a movie theater, and his life will be shown on the screen, and when the movie is over, you will be completely finished! 】

"Cinema."

Yes.

I'm afraid this movie theater is an anomaly.

It just lives in the middle of a bustling city, waiting for the hapless guy to stumble into.

If Du wants Qiao Du to visit, this is the person?

"Don't worry, there's no danger."

The corners of Du Ruo's mouth twitched, as if he wanted to show a smile, but in the end, he didn't pull his skin, and only maintained his original serious appearance.

Although Qiao Du wanted to complain that it would be 100% dangerous to say this, he decided to believe Du Ruo.

After all, he invited himself to dinner, and he was certainly not a bad person.

"Who do you want me to find?"

Qiao Du asked.

"When you see him, you say...... Forget it, just look at him. ”

Du Ruo pondered for a moment, and finally swallowed some words into his stomach.

Qiao Du felt strange, this Du Ruo let himself come to find the person who lived in the anomaly, and when he arrived at the place, he didn't say anything, so he left it here.

He didn't ask, just walked towards the cinema and came to the ticket office.

"Hello, I want a movie ticket."

Qiao Du said generously to the conductor.

The conductor in the shadows raised his head, and Qiao Du couldn't see the other party's face clearly, but could only feel the other party's shoulders move slightly, and he tapped the keyboard at a slightly sluggish speed to type out a movie ticket.

He didn't even ask Twilight what movie he was going to watch.

Qiao Du took the movie ticket and found that the conductor's hands were frighteningly white and lacked skin texture, like a dummy in a clothing store.

He glanced at the other party.

I found that because of the delivery of the ticket, the conductor slightly appeared from the shadows.

On the head of the dummy of the clothing store downstairs, two simple eyes are drawn with a marker.

[He has a pair of smart eyes, doesn't he, don't make fun of them, or you'll be the next ticket seller to sit here!] 】

The crimson text flowed on the movie ticket.

Joe Twilight turns her gaze to the movie ticket and discovers that the name of the movie is "Joe Twilight".

It's a coincidence, it's the same as my name.

He went to the ticket gate and found a dummy sitting there.

The dummy was motionless.

Qiao Du handed the ticket to the other party.

The dummy suddenly creaked, grabbed the ticket, tore off the corresponding part, and slowly handed it back to Qiao Dui.

He walked inside, found the corresponding screening room according to the label of the movie ticket, walked in, and sat down in the penultimate row.

The screening room was empty, and there was no one else but him.

Soon, the movie started playing.

Qiao Du found that the picture was messy, and the content captured by the handheld camera was full of the sky of unknown meaning, grass, blooming flowers, snowy forests, etc., which looked like a picture taken by a bored person, with a simple sense of the times.

But I don't know why, Qiao Du was immersed in these pictures as soon as he saw them, and even had a strong resonance, and before he knew it, he was already in tears.

"You don't belong here."

Suddenly, a voice came from Qiao Dui's side.

He turned his head and saw that he didn't know when there was a young woman in her early twenties, with long hair hanging down her shoulders, wearing a red sweater and a long white dress.

"You're the one Du wants to visit?"

Qiao Du didn't expect it to be a girl, so he sniffed.

"Du Ruo?"

The girl chewed on the name for a moment, and then suddenly.

"Being able to get here means that you are already in danger, go back, I can handle it."

She said, gently pressing Joo's shoulder.

"As for Du Ruo, you told him not to come again, no matter what, anomalies will always make people fall into the abyss."

[This woman is very dangerous, you have to be careful of everything she does, after all, this is a cage that belongs to her, and you, you have to figure out your position, hehe. 】

Blood-red writing seeped through the sweater.

"Cage."

Qiao Du didn't say much, he was not a mentally ill person with a brain problem, the other party let him leave, so he would definitely do as he was told.

Standing up, Qiao Du suddenly felt that the content shown in the movie was lackluster and had no interest.

He walked out of the screening room, and at the end, he looked back at the girl, who was still sitting in her chair, watching the movie intently.

All the way, no one stopped him, and this anomaly seemed to be very polite to Qiao Dui.

Du Ruo stood outside at the mouth of the escalator that had been stopped because of power saving, smoking a cigarette rarely, and seeing Qiao Dui, he didn't rush to ask what was going on.

"I saw a girl who told you about it, and she said that you should not come again, and said that anomalies will always make people fall into the abyss."

Qiao Du didn't hide it.

Du Ruo didn't answer either.

He took the cigarette butt away, took a light breath, and then extinguished it on the trash can stuffed with drink bottles, and said to Qiao Twilight in the smoke.

"Let's go."

Qiao Du followed Du Ruo downstairs and stepped into the prosperity of Jiangcheng again.

He felt that he should ask something, but he thought it would be good, and he didn't know why, it was quite reasonable.

"I'm sorry for you today."

Du Ruo thanked Qiao Du very respectfully, and then said hello to a man on the side of the road, the two were as familiar as friends who had known each other for many years, and Du Ruo followed each other away.

In just a moment, he disappeared into the crowd, and he couldn't find his whereabouts no matter how he looked for it.

Qiao Du was a little curious if the passer-by really knew Du Ruo, or if he used some special method to forcibly "know" him.

In this way, Qiao Du can also go to other people's houses to eat by making friends with each other.

But after all, he is a big V with 50,000 fans, and he still has a lot of psychological baggage to do this kind of thing.

Thinking like this, Qiao Dui, who was about to go home, suddenly saw that there was an office worker in a hurry.

Because on his shoulders, there were several people standing.

These people are like acrobats in Indian dramas, stacking arhats, maintaining a delicate balance, staggering, but never falling off the shoulders of the office worker.

The passers-by around turned a blind eye to this and buried their heads on the way home.

Qiao Du was thoughtful, he leaned over and patted the other party, revealing a bright smile.

"Friend, can I go to your house tonight?"
