Chapter 260: Cinema Paradiso 29

"Oh, so this child belongs to the philanthropist couple."

After listening to Xin's explanation, Hongyue poked the baby's chubby face and said regretfully.

pungent:"… "

So what are you looking so regretful about

Emil: "So, according to you, everyone in the other dimension is dead?"

He opened his mouth and was about to say something, but suddenly bit his lip.

Then Hongyue and Xin received a message alert tone.

Emil: I suddenly have a bold idea.

Hongyue: Tell me about it, let me see how bold you are.

Emil: …

Sister Hongyue, there is nothing you can’t respond to, right

You have some social skills in you.

Ahem. Emile paused for two seconds and continued to send messages in the group chat. You just said there was a tombstone there, and when God Xin came back from another space, he was also in that tombstone.

Is there a possibility that the space that God Xin went to is actually hell

The people he saw in that space had actually died long ago.

Emil suddenly shuddered in reality. If that was the case, then the resort we were staying in now... couldn't it be a haunted house? !

Aaaah.

Hongyue: It is indeed a very bold and wild guess. For you, Xin.

pungent:…

What's up with this host's general ability to control the situation

There is no sense of violation and.

Xin: What I want to say is that what Emil said is right. I saw many servants in that space, and some of them were wearing the ornaments we have seen before, the Red Moon.

Hongyue: Ornaments? You mean the flowers, brooches, and other things on the tombstones

Well, Xin continues to send messages, so Emil's guess is not far off. My guess is also that those people are dead, but that space may not be hell.

Emil: If not hell, then what is it

Red Moon: Stupid, demons are the inhabitants of hell. Have you ever seen a book that says hell celebrates Thanksgiving? Does hell allow anyone to kill demons when they see them

Emile wrinkled his nose and wanted to say something to save his face, but he heard someone behind him calling out to them gently.

"Dear guests, it's time for breakfast."

This sudden voice interrupted the private chat of the three people. They looked in the direction of the voice and saw that the tour guide was standing behind them without them knowing when.

He stood in the shadow of the gate, his slender body hidden in the darkness, and had no idea how long he had been standing there.

The tour guide still had a stiff professional smile on his face, and his cold eyes swept over the four people one by one, with a sharp look of scrutiny and suspicion in his black pupils.

The tour guide looked around and finally his eyes fell on Xin and the devil: "Mr. Xin, Miss Jiaer, welcome back."

"Breakfast is ready for you. Please follow me into the restaurant. The other guests are waiting anxiously."

The four of them looked at each other and slowly followed the tour guide into the restaurant.

Inside the restaurant, there are three people sitting in front of the huge dining table.

Mr. Nick, Elizabeth and the actor.

The three of them huddled in a corner awkwardly. Exquisite food was placed in front of them, but they just looked at it with stiff bodies and pale faces, without any appetite at all.

You don't seem to be anxious at all, okay

Hongyue walked to the opposite side of Mr. Nick and the other two, pulled a chair and sat down.

Seeing Hongyue find a seat, Xin Emil and the devil also took their seats calmly.

Mr. Nick stared at the people opposite him with wide eyes: "You, are you all okay? Miss Jiaer, how come your leg is healed? Miss Jiaer, Mr. Xin, where did you go before? Why is there a child in your arms?"

"Don't worry about this kind of thing," the tour guide suddenly said. He was still standing at the front of the table, looking down at the few people at the table. "It's good enough that you can come back."

Just a few days ago, this dining table was full of people. At that time, some of them were secretly competing with each other, and some had ulterior motives, but none of them thought that they would die or disappear.

Hearing the tour guide's voice, Mr. Nick was no longer as aggressive as before. His face turned pale and he closed his mouth in panic.

Elizabeth and the actor also huddled together, shivering and staring at the food in front of them.

They were afraid, afraid of the tour guide.

To be more precise, they were afraid of everything in the resort.

The constant presence of death and fear had long since smoothed over all their edges. At this moment, the only thought in the minds of these once high-ranking people was to stay alive.

Live and leave this place alive.

When the tour guide saw Mr. Nick's cooperation, he pulled the corners of his mouth with satisfaction, revealing his classic fake smile.

"Before today, food was very tight, but because so many people disappeared in the past two days, our food supply has become more abundant."

"Dear guests, let us put our hands together and thank these guests for their sacrifices and thank God for the food he has given us."

Mr. Nick and his friends had long forgotten how to write the word "resistance". As soon as the tour guide finished speaking, they obediently clasped their hands together and began to pray.

Xin and his companions were a little slow, but soon caught up with their pace.

Emile secretly opened his eyes a little while praying. The moment his eyelids opened, he saw a pair of lifeless eyes staring at him intently.

Those eyes belonged to the tour guide. At this moment, those eyes were pitch black. The originally light white around them quickly disappeared and turned into pure black.

Now, those strange eyes without any other color just stared at me, and no expression could be seen in those empty eyes.

Emile closed his eyes instantly, and a few drops of cold sweat quietly seeped out of his smooth forehead.

He suddenly thought of Samael who was lying alone in the ward.

If that world is full of dead people, then how safe can this space be

The tour guide turned into this horrible appearance when they couldn't see him, it was obvious that he was not a human being.

If the tour guide is like this, are the attendants and doctors normal

Samael is now alone in the ward. He can't lift anything with his hands or shoulders. It is no exaggeration to say that he is like the delicate Princess and the Pea.

The way he is now, if these monsters want to do anything to Samael, it will be effortless.

Emile subconsciously tugged at the sleeve of the person next to him.

The person next to him didn't respond at all and just sat there motionless.

Emile became anxious and tugged at his sleeve, typing frantically in the system chat window.

Emil: I just opened my eyes and saw the guide's eyes! His eyes were completely black! Samael is alone in the ward, so he won't be in any danger, right

Xin: Be patient, he shouldn't die. Let's go check it out after breakfast.

The owner of the sleeve finally moved, grabbing Emile's wrist with his backhand.

Emile was stunned for a moment: Okay, I understand.

After saying this, he waited for two seconds, but the owner of the hand showed no sign of relaxing.

Emil had no choice but to continue sending messages: That, God Xin. I understand, you can let go of your hand.

Xin:? ... I want to tell you a good news and a bad news. Which one do you want to hear first

Emil: Good news

Xin: Even if it's good news, you still need to calm down. The good news is that my hand loosened, because I didn't grab you from the beginning.

Emil's breathing suddenly stopped, and he suddenly realized that the touch on his wrist was not right.

He had touched Xin's arm before, and it was never as cold as it was now.

If it wasn't the god Xin who caught him, then... what was it

He remembered correctly, he was sitting next to God Xin, and the direction he grabbed was not wrong.

A gasp suddenly sounded beside my ears.

The sound seemed to come from the ear, and the chilly breath drilled into the ear so abruptly.

Someone!

Someone stood between him and God Xin!

who is it

"Haha." A cold laugh sounded, and Emil's scalp felt numb.

It's a tour guide!

He was clearly standing in front of the dining table, observing them with his dark eyes, so how come he was next to them in the blink of an eye

And he didn't hear the guide's footsteps at all.

This thing is so buggy, it's simply a perversion.

Emile rolled his Adam's apple heavily and closed his eyes tighter.

There was a sound of rustling fabric, and just as the others were about to finish their prayers, the guide finally let go of Emile’s wrist.

Feeling the cold touch on his wrist disappear, he slowly breathed a sigh of relief, and his tense shoulders also relaxed.

As everyone's last prayer fell, Emile opened his eyes with relief.

The next second, a pair of expressionless eyes came into view without warning.

Emil's little soul almost flew to the sky: "..."

Fuck, could you please not scare him alone

The tour guide sat next to Emile at some point, with his shoulders stiff and straight, looking coldly at Emile and the others.

Emil smiled dryly: "Guide, Mr. Tour Guide, why are you looking at us like that?"

The tour guide grinned, and from Emile's perspective he could even see the overly red tongue in the guide's mouth.

"Mr. Emile," the tour guide said slowly, his voice stiff and numb, "Are you three really fallen nobles?"

Hongyue and Xin suddenly looked at the tour guide who had a strange smile on his face, and Hongyue even frowned.

He was testing their identities.

Emir was as if he was facing a formidable enemy: "Of course, you won't look down on us just because of our status, right? I am the young master of the dignified Emir family. Even if our family has fallen, not everyone can come and step on us!"

"Our Emir family is born noble and cannot be blasphemed by anyone! Tour guide, this is just the first time. If it happens again, I will not let you off easily!"

Emile became more and more excited as he spoke, and finally he even started dancing.

If Hongyue and Xin didn't know their background, they would both have been deceived.

Yes, Emil, great acting.

The tour guide looked at Emile in confusion, then looked at Hongyue and Xin in bewilderment. Finally, he scratched his head hesitantly and slowly stood up from his seat. "But why does a pampered young nobleman have so many calluses on his fingers?"

Emil slammed a row of tables, stood up angrily and shouted, "That's enough!"

"Our family is not so poor that you would question me if I secretly do some farm work! Tour guide, I always thought you were a gentleman, but this is how you act like a gentleman? This is too much. I won't eat this meal!"

With that, Emile left the table angrily and strode away.

Hongyue quickly caught up with Emile, and before leaving, she glared at the tour guide: "You also know that my family is a poor noble family. We have been so poor that we can't even afford to hire a servant, so some farm work is done by my brother himself."

"Although my brother is a playboy and arrogant, he has the pride and self-respect that a noble should have. You shouldn't expose his scars in public. Tour guide, you shouldn't do that. Don't say that my brother doesn't forgive you. I, Hongyue, won't forgive you either!"

"snort!"

Tourist guide:"… "

Mr. Nick, who had been hiding in a corner, couldn't help but speak up: "Yes, even when the nobles are down and out, they still have their pride. This is the romance of the nobles. Tour guide, you really went too far this time."

"Do you know that in order to protect the honor of the nobility, these nobles can even prove it in such a decisive way as death!"

"Really?" The tour guide looked blankly at the direction where Hongyue and Emil left, then looked at Xin who was still sitting steadily at the table, and suddenly asked: "Why don't you leave?"

Xin raised his knife and fork and answered confidently: "I'm hungry."

Tourist guide:"… "

Where is the noble honor and the way of breaking up that you promised

"I'm hungry"

"Excellent Acting"

As expected of a con man, his acting skills come naturally. I was almost scared to tears in the last second, and his acting skills exploded in the next second.

He left in such a hurry, probably because he was worried about the safety of the craftsman, right

What dangers could a craftsman have

Isn't it a danger in itself for the craftsman to be tortured like that

____________________________

At the dinner table, Mr. Nick and his friends struggled to stuff food into their mouths, swallowing it with such taste that it felt like chewing wax.

It is eight o'clock in the morning and there are still four hours until twelve o'clock.

But now that another space has been destroyed, it is possible that no one will disappear at twelve o'clock.

In order to verify his inner guess, Xin looked at the three people opposite him and asked, "Tell me the truth, did you enter Jin's room last night, either in reality or in a dream?"

The three of them looked at each other, and waved their hands in panic in fear.

"No, no, no. We already know how horrible the gold room is. How can we possibly go in there? I would never go in there even if you kill me."

"I didn't dream about it. I really didn't dream about it. I stayed in my room last night and didn't leave at all."

"Neither did I. I hate that golden room so much now. I avoid it like the plague. How could I possibly commit suicide by entering that golden room?"

Xin: "Did you not go in, or did you not dream about it?"

The three began to explain in a panic again.

"I didn't go in, and I didn't dream about it."

“Yes, I didn’t dream about it at all.”

"If you didn't dream it, you didn't dream it."

Xin lowered his head and muttered to himself silently: "So, with the disappearance of that space, the Golden Room also disappeared."

The baby in my arms' stomach gurgled twice, then opened his mouth and started crying loudly.

"Mr. Tour Guide," Xin patted the baby's back soothingly, "This is Mr. and Mrs. Ashley's child. Please prepare some milk and a clean swaddling cloth for him. He is too dirty and needs to be cleaned up."

The tour guide took a look at the babies in their arms, and his numb eyes suddenly flickered.

There is disgust and anger, and there is terror and fear.

Xin silently took in the guide's gaze. He looked down at the baby who had no power to protect himself, and quickly and naturally looked away.

The tour guide was actually afraid of this child

Could this child be the key to cracking the Eden Resort

"Well, how about giving the baby to me?" Elizabeth slowly stood up and said hesitantly, "I was a nun for a while, and I know how to take care of a kid this size."

"You shouldn't hold a child like this. He will feel uncomfortable if you do this."

Xin stared at the crying child in his arms, thought for a moment, and then carefully placed the child in Elizabeth's arms: "Thank you, Miss Elizabeth."

Elizabeth proved with her actions that she had indeed taken care of a child. Her technique was very skillful. After taking the child, she carefully lifted the baby's thighs with her arms and held him in her arms, gently patting the baby's back to comfort him.

However, the baby's crying not only did not stop, but it became even louder.

"Stop him crying!"

An angry scream suddenly sounded in the room. Xin looked in the direction of the voice without changing his expression, and saw that the tour guide, who had a cold expression just now, was now covering his head with his hands in pain. His stiff face was now tangled, and every pore was saying how uncomfortable it was.

Seeing this, Elizabeth's originally light movements suddenly became clumsy.

She patted the baby frantically, but the more she tried to calm the baby, the more it cried.

The baby, who was just a little baby a moment ago, suddenly became a hot potato, leaving her at a loss as to what to do.

"Mr. Xin." Elizabeth had no choice but to ask Xin for help.

Xin took the baby silently, casually patting the baby's back to comfort it, while observing the tour guide's expression.

The tour guide had retreated to the corner of the wall. He curled up on the ground, and his normal human eyes were turning pure black at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Elizabeth and the others also noticed the tour guide's abnormality, but they were already dominated by fear and did not choose to run away. Instead, the three of them huddled together, trembling and curled up.

Xin silently observed the changes in the tour guide.

Suddenly, he felt something moving in his chest.

He suddenly lowered his head and saw the baby grabbing Xin's clothes with his soft little hands, trying to pull open his white robe.

The baby aimed at Xin's chest, "Eat, eat, eat, mommy."

Xin froze in place, as if struck by lightning.

____________________________

Studio.

Hahaha, mom, food, I’m hungry.

Xin Shen proved who is the real male mother through her actions.

This baby is a hero who knows how to adapt to the changing times.

But how come he can speak at such a young age? Wasn't he born just yesterday

Don't you think that he not only can speak now, but also has grown a little bit bigger

Maybe it's because he was the product of a wish? That's why his growth rate is different from others.

____________________________

Xin coldly opened the baby's hands and forbade the baby to run away and beg for food.

Seeing the food so far away and so close in front of him, yet out of reach, the baby, who had stopped crying, burst into tears of grievance again.

The tour guide also helplessly covered his head again, his expression full of pain.

He had never been so embarrassed.

He was so miserable that he couldn't even stand up.

The tour guide just lay on the ground, glared at Xin and the baby in his arms with fear and resentment, then crawled away on the ground with difficulty.

Elizabeth was the bravest. She bravely stepped out to take a look, then quickly retracted her head and said, "Guide, crawl toward the gate."

The baby's face turned red and his throat was almost hoarse from crying. Just when everyone was at a loss as to what to do, a small silver spoon filled with milk was brought to the baby's mouth.

The baby immediately took a sip and started crying again after finishing it.

Just when the baby was about to stop crying, the silver spoon filled with milk was brought again.

In this way, one person gave the baby food to drink, and after dozens of times, the baby's red face finally eased.

He yawned contentedly, found a comfortable position in Xin's arms, and fell asleep peacefully.

Several people stared blankly at the scene in front of them; even Xin was a little surprised.

It wasn't until the baby fell asleep that Xin found his voice again: "Wife, you are so virtuous."

The demon's face suddenly felt hot.

"Wife?!" Elizabeth screamed in a low voice, "Are you two together?"

But she quickly calmed down and said to herself: "It is inevitable that a man with talent and a woman with beauty will be attracted to each other. Sorry, I am surprised."

Xin carried the baby to the door of the restaurant. There was still a trace of dragging on the carpet in the corridor outside the restaurant.

"It's strange," Mr. Nick also walked out of the room, "I don't know what happened to this resort today. It's empty. Except for the tour guide, everyone else is gone. I don't know where the attendants who used to be there are gone too."

“Where else could he have gone?” the actor complained, “He must have realized something was wrong here and fled overnight.”

Xin Dingding stared at the open door of the resort and chose to remain silent.

The tour guide just now was examining their identities at the dinner table.

He has not forgotten the rules of the game of this movie. He cannot reveal the fact that he is outside the movie, otherwise he will stay in the movie forever.

There are two situations that should be kept in the movie.

The first is to expose your identity.

The second is dying in a movie.

So what are the conditions for leaving the movie

Is it to uncover the secrets of this resort

He still doesn't know how to leave the movie, because from the beginning, neither the system nor the cinema owner has stated the conditions for leaving the movie.

When there are only propositions but no conditional inferences, all propositions are false propositions.

Xin frowned slightly.

If "leaving the movie" is a false proposition, then the action of leaving itself is invalid.

No solution.

This is the answer to this question.

From the moment they entered the movie, it was difficult for them to leave.

Unless... Xin looked up suddenly.

Unless there is some channel connecting the two worlds!

Movies are to cinemas as the world outside of that weird world is to this world.

As long as they are two different worlds, there will definitely be flaws.

While Xin was still thinking, a system prompt sound for a private chat suddenly came from the system.

He opened the private chat window and found that the sender was Zhou Guang.

Zhou Guang: We are in trouble.

Xin: Tell me about it.

Zhou Guang: We persisted for the so-called four days in the movie, but we did not leave the movie. Instead, we were taken back to the village by the villagers as survivors.

Zhou Guang: We don’t know how to leave. Do you have any clues

Xin narrowed his eyes slightly.

Sure enough, it was just as he expected.

Even if they survive the time and date in the movie, they will not be able to leave the movie if they cannot break the barrier between the two spaces.

Xin: Look around and see if there are any water currents, mirrors or other objects that can produce ripples within your reach.

Find them and see if there is anything special about them. If there is, that place is likely to be the passage connecting the movie to the outside world.

Zhou Guang: OK, I understand. You really have a way, I know it.

Thank you. I will go find it with Li Cancan now.

After finishing the chat with Zhou Guang, Xin opened Xia Chi's private chat window.

Xin: Xia Chi, are you there

This time, Xia Chi did not answer as quickly as usual. About ten seconds passed and he still didn't get a reply from Xia Chi, so he opened Liang Xi's private chat window again: Liang Xi.

Liang Xi replied very quickly: What’s the matter, God Xin

Xin: Where is Xia Chi

Liang Xi paused for two seconds: He... the NC who had been helping us was stabbed in the heart by a monster in order to save Xia Chi. Xia Chi hugged the body of that NC and cried for a long time, and only now did he recover.

If you have any problems, God Xin, you can come to me.

As soon as Liang Xi finished speaking, Xia Chi sent a private message: Brother, you are looking for me.

Xin probably had guessed that the NC should be Tan Yue, but based on Tan Yue's level, he wouldn't be killed by the monsters in the movie.

He did this most likely in order to get back into Xia Chi's system.

Xin: Is your flash of inspiration ready

Hey, Xia Chi entered the message, Brother, you didn’t secretly install surveillance on me, did you

pungent:…

Xia Chi: That’s not right. The surveillance cameras on my body can’t detect my mind. Did you install some weird thing in my brain

Xin: Have you been suffering from paranoid delusions recently

Xia Chi: Wuuuu, brother, brother, that NC who looked a lot like Tan Yue died. He died trying to save me. I am so sad.

Xin: ... Be good and don't cry. When we get back, you can build a cenotaph for him so that he can rest in peace, okay

Xia Chi: Yeah, OK, I'll listen to you, brother. But although my flash of inspiration is back, it seems to be bugged, it keeps jumping, like epilepsy. Will my flash of inspiration suffer from Alzheimer's disease? After all, it is an old system.

Xin: Old? Did it tell you that

Xia Chi: Yes, it said it has been in this game for a long time and its professional skills are No.1, so I just need to believe it wholeheartedly.

Although NC is dead, it is worth celebrating that he has a flash of inspiration and comes back. By the way, brother, what do you want to talk to me about

Xin: When will your movie be released

Xia Chi: We arrived three hours ago, and we killed the sea monster at the end of the movie, but strangely we didn't leave.

Xin was silent for two seconds, repeated what he had said to Zhou Guang, and then said: You can look for this kind of place, it may be a little difficult to find, but...

Xia Chi interrupted Xin: It’s not hard to find...it seems.

pungent:

Xia Chi: To be honest... the ocean we are in now is weird everywhere. The waves of the sea even strangely reach out to wave, almost saying, "Uncle, come quickly."

The channel you mentioned... maybe the whole sea is it.

Hey, did I guess right? A light bulb went off in my head.

Brother, do you think I should jump? Fortune and wealth are sought in danger. Take a chance and a bicycle will turn into a motorcycle.

pungent:…

I often feel out of place because of my low self-esteem.

This is the chosen one.

The mirror is in his room

The most lucky value in the universe

How could he have the nerve to say that

so envious.

I also want to rely on luck to pass the level.

Xia Chi: Why aren’t you talking, brother

…Xin, just jump around.

Dare not speak.

Shivering.

____________________________

Studio.

Damn it, why did Xia Chi jump into the sea! Could it be that he was so depressed that he wanted to commit suicide for that handsome guy? !

Even if the mountains are gone and the sky and earth are united, I will never break off my relationship with you!

However, when he jumped, he took Liang Xi with him.

Hahahaha, Liang Xi's face turned green.

Liang Xi: I would really thank you. You are so noble. You committed suicide for love and you want to bury me with you

Hey, they came out!

Oh, it turns out it wasn’t a suicide for love, it was an escape.

After understanding this operation, I suddenly understood. The movie theater is also a different world from the outside movie theater. You can't leave after the movie is over unless you find a passage.

The sea is the passage? Ah, this... Resources come from all around us, inexhaustible.

Compared with Xia Chi's luck value, Xin Shen is simply weak.

Suddenly I became curious about what that passage in the movie Shin Shen was.

I suddenly thought of a question. If the passage is the key to leaving, then can we just leave? Don't we need to worry about being exposed or not

Eh, that makes sense.

____________________________

"Let's go, I'll go see Hongyue and Emile." Xin took a deep breath and walked towards the depths of the corridor without looking back.

Let them find the passage together, and tell them that the entire ocean is Xia Chi's passage.

He can't be the only one who has a breakdown in his mentality.

Mr. Nick and the other two didn't know where they were now. The huge resort became empty in an instant because there were no people around.

The originally magnificent building suddenly became eerie and cold.

The three of them looked at each other, and although they didn't say much, they all followed Xin tacitly.

So everyone squeezed into the ward at the same time and saw Samael's expression of despair.

Amir is removing Samael's hair.

The flowery hair was half undone, and at first glance, Elizabeth and the others couldn't even tell whether the flower had cheated or the golden retriever had a broken leg.

The air suddenly became quiet.

Everyone: “…”

Hongyue was as graceful as ever. Even though the atmosphere was awkward, she still spoke calmly, "Tsk tsk, why is there milk stain on the corner of the baby's mouth? God Xin, Boss Jiaer, whose is it?"

Everyone: “…”

Emil: “…”

pungent:"… "

Studio.

Sister Hongyue is really brave.

Is there nothing left in this world for her to miss

People who used to be zombie queens do have unusual ways of thinking.

What I mean is, is there a possibility that Boss Hongyue had the same train of thought before

… I have a small question, which is, what does Song Yuantian like about her

I'm greedy for her pretty face, her good figure, her strong ability, her wide circle of friends, her ability to liven up the atmosphere... What does President Song like about her? If I were President Song, I would also be clingy.

____________________________

"Ahem, it was just a joke," Hongyue shrugged calmly, "Why did you take it so seriously? I was just trying to warm up the atmosphere."

Xin hesitated for two seconds, but finally couldn't help but ask his doubts: "Hongyue, how did you manage to remain calm and collected?"

Hongyue raised her eyelids lazily: "Do you even need to ask? Of course it's because I'm thick-skinned."

pungent:"… "

Everyone: “…”

An unexpected yet reasonable answer.

After a few days of recuperation, although Samael's arms were still unable to move, he could already move his neck simply.

He turned his neck with difficulty to look at the baby in Xin's arms, and the moment he saw the baby clearly.

His pupils suddenly lit up, and a long-lost smile even appeared on his fearless face, showing the transition from despair to light like a textbook example.

Xin was very observant and immediately noticed the change in Samael's expression.

Samael's expression had become very urgent. He opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but because his tongue had been pulled out, he could only make babbling sounds.

Xin and Samael looked at each other in mid-air for two seconds, then he slowly stepped forward and placed the baby in Samael's arms.
