The poster for "Limit" is rather strange, not like the scary style of movie posters such as "Peep" and "Death", but a stand-alone one.
The tone of the poster is black, and under the gray sky, there is a sea, the sea is calm.
In the middle of this sea, there is a small iceberg standing on top of it, crystal clear, creating a sparkling reflection on the sea.
However, below the sea level, next to this iceberg is not its huge middle and lower half, but a small town.
The town is very detailed, like a LEGO model that has been shrunk countless times, with lights on in the houses and people walking in the town.
There is no problem with this small town when it is caught alone. At first glance, it even looks a little warm, but in this poster, it is suppressed by icebergs below the sea level, at the bottom of the boundless deep sea, and there are no air bubbles around it. No other marine life either.
Wen Wenwen's heart tightened, he took out the town map he carried with him, put it next to the poster for comparison, and said solemnly: "The structure of this town is the Lost Town of Stillan!"
Bruce: "I just feel that the clues are clasping together, there may be clues everywhere, there may be a way out, but they are all together into a ball of yarn, and I can't find the right way to untie it. ."
"Mainly, this mission is also very strange." Wen Wenwen complained a little after listening to Bruce, "General dungeons have a 'survive for seven days' or 'find the truth', but this time actually There is only one choice."
"It's under the iceberg? But when we came in, before the CG, wasn't this town next to the iceberg? And there's no sea water nearby..." Jin Handong didn't continue to complain, she studied the poster in front of her and asked softly , "Atlantis, the town in the poster is Atlantis?"
Wang Huai shook his head at this time and said, "It's not necessarily a real iceberg, maybe the sea here is just a metaphor."
...like a curse.
Xiao Li added in his heart.
Through the information in the Hall of Records, he has been able to be almost certain that the lost town of Stillan is the former Atlantis. Because it was coveted by a certain god, he was devastated and forced to relocate here. The curse restricts the inability to leave the town.
It's just... what does this have to do with life
What the reincarnators encountered should not be the same curse, but a rule simulated by the copy, and the way they need to find a way to survive should be different from the way the townspeople solve it.
He didn't say what he was thinking, but said, "Go in and watch this movie."
This time, the movie theater is no longer reserved for the reincarnators. There are residents of the small town on the seats, chatting with each other about something.
Since they had violated the rules of the movie theater once, bad luck had come a long time ago, and the reincarnators were not afraid of breaking the taboo again, so they bought tickets neatly and sat down.
Soon, the movie begins.
Xiao Li didn't remember to buy popcorn and coke this time, but when he remembered, he had already sat down, so forget it.
Due to the previous "Peeping", Xiao Li's evaluation of the movies in this copy has been greatly lowered. He is also pessimistic about this "Restriction", and he is too lazy to be a gangster.
But for clues, still have to look.
The young man used Xiao Huang to cover his lower face, yawned lazily, with some mist in his eyes, and shrunk in the cinema seat.
Shen Mizhi handed a candy in his palm, which was the same candy as the one in Future Paradise.
Xiao Li hesitated for a moment, then took it in his mouth to refresh himself, and looked at the big screen.
It has to be said that the opening of "Limit" is better than that of "Peek", and the beginning of the picture is the picture in the poster.
It's just that the movie becomes dynamic.
The camera starts from the iceberg above the sea. First, the upper half of the iceberg is shot at close range, reflecting the sky that seems to be covered with soot. Then the angle of view suddenly points down, and it sprints continuously, falling below the sea level with a "pop". Going down, from light blue to dark blue, to pitch black, and finally deep into the small town.
The picture changed to normal, and the group of people walking on the streets of the town were photographed.
This group of young people is very energetic, jumping and jumping on the road.
Xiao Li counted their number. There were eight people in total, six males and two females, which exactly corresponded to the number of reincarnators, as if foreshadowing the experience of reincarnations.
… Well, it doesn't feel like a good movie with private goods.
Xiao Li lowered his expectations again.
The scene in the movie continued to play.
One of the young people who looked like a teenager said: "Are you really going to do this this time? But my mother told us that we can't go out."
"What's the matter, didn't I tell you, I found a dog hole over there last time! Go out, Tang Tang, you are a big man, why are you so cowardly?" the long-haired girl in the young man said. .
"Qiuqiu, this is not cowardice, I always feel that we are dying." Tang Tang lowered his head and said dejectedly.
The tallest man in the group interrupted him impatiently, with a knife tattooed on the man's arm, he said, "Tang, you mother-in-law, if you don't want to rescue, hurry up and listen to your mother's words, don't follow We are."
"Forget it, forget it, let's go together, we're all here." Tang said.
They gradually walked along the street towards the outskirts of the town.
Here comes the difference from the Lostland Town. The town in the movie is surrounded by a high wall, about three meters high, which makes it look more like a prison.
Qiuqiu took the lead and came to a corner with ease, where it was covered with weeds and it was difficult to see inside.
She bent down and beckoned her companions to pull up a few weeds, which revealed a small hole.
I don't know how this appeared. The edge of the hole is crooked, and it looks like it was forcibly smashed open.
Looking from the entrance of the cave, she could not see the specific appearance of the outside. It seemed that there was another black wall blocking the view, but she could see the door that could be opened.
"I'll come first, you follow." Qiuqiu couldn't wait to get in.
She was thin, and quickly managed to get out.
Tang was at the bottom of the line. He was timid and did not have strong curiosity. It was only because of his companions that he came here together. At this time, he was looking around worriedly.
The remaining short-haired girl was second, she raised her voice and said, "Qiuqiu, what's it like outside?"
However, Qiuqiu, who should have been excited, did not respond.
"Qiuqiu, did you hear it? What's it like outside?" The short-haired girl asked again, but there was still no response. She turned her head suspiciously and asked the tattooed man, "This... Could this be an accident?"
The tattooed man shrugged: "It may also be that she played wild and abandoned us directly. You should also go and see."
"...Okay." The short-haired girl hesitated for a moment, but after looking at the tattooed man, she bent down and got out with great difficulty.
"Ruixin, how's it going?" The tattooed man knelt down on one knee and shouted outside the hole.
However, there was still no response, only his voice echoed in and out of the cave, bringing out bursts of echoes.
It was getting darker, and the world outside the cave seemed to be hiding something, as if it was covered with a gray filter, and the color tone of the picture was very dark.
Now the tattooed man is also afraid.
He glanced back at the reminder of the rest, except for the two girls who were petite and took the lead, only Tang was the thinnest among the rest. He said, "Tang, will you go take a look?"
Tang bit his lip, he didn't dare to go, but looking at the tattooed man's eyes, he had to bend down and drill down.
Because of his fear, his movements were not as fast as the first two girls. He just poked his head out when he suddenly trembled.
Turning to the entrance of the cave, the audience couldn't see what was outside the entrance due to the blockage of Tang, only Tang's trembling thighs.
"I'm quitting, I'm not going, I... I saw a pair of eyes! I'm not going!" Tang shouted indiscriminately, he moved himself back out, and ran home without looking back.
In the silence, Tang's voice was extremely mournful, and it startled the remaining few people. The remaining tattooed man and the man with the opposite eyes looked at each other, and finally the tattooed man said: "That kid is timid, I I don't believe what he saw, forget it, I'll go take a look."
Their scene was broadcast here, and the camera turned to Tang.
Tang stumbled all the way home, covered his face, and he didn't say anything when he saw it, so he ran all the way home, opened the door, and threw himself on the bed.
He wept uncontrollably.
Not long after, someone came in at the door. At this time, the audience was from Tang's point of view. Tang refused to look up, and the audience couldn't see that it was a person. They could only hear a gentle female voice: "Tang? What's the matter, talk to my mother. Tell me what happened."
Tang said: "I... I did a wrong thing, I didn't want to do it, I really didn't want to, I was forced!"
The fuck said, "What's wrong?"
Tang covered his face and refused to speak.
His mother continued: "No matter what it is, as long as it doesn't hurt others, it doesn't matter, just don't do it again next time."
Tang still refused to look up, his mother comforted him a few more words, and finally left the room.
At this time, Tang Cai slowly put down the quilt covering his face, raised his head, and the camera zoomed away from his face. The boy's face showed an extremely contradictory color. He wiped his nose, but the corners of his lips were It hooked up, forming a sharp contrast and mobilizing the audience's emotions.
The next second, the movie entered its second day.
Tang went to the school to take a class and found that the seats of the other seven classmates were empty yesterday. The teacher felt strange and went out to make a phone call.
After returning, the teacher said solemnly, "Teach yourself first."
Then the teacher called Tang over: "Tang, have you seen Qiuqiu and the others? Their parents said they were gone."
When Tang was asked this, tears were about to fall again, he murmured: "Teacher, I went out with them last night, they said they wanted to see the world outside the wall, but I didn't want to go, so I ran away halfway. ."
"Outside the wall?" The teacher suddenly realized the seriousness of the problem and said, "Tang, you should inform the teacher or parents in time."
"I'm just too scared, teacher." Tang apologized sincerely, "I'm sorry."
The teacher didn't blame him when he heard the words, he always had to take into account his emotions: "Forget it, the teacher should contact their parents first, they are going outside the wall."
Tang said hello and walked out of the teacher's office.
The next day, the head teacher did not come to class, and his class was replaced by the Chinese teacher of the next class.
And Tang was also in a bad mood, lying on his seat all day, looking out the window listlessly.
The teacher behind the podium already knew what happened to him, and didn't ask him to get up to answer the question, so he just let him relax a little.
When the teacher on the stage was eloquent, Tang's phone suddenly vibrated in the belly of the table.
Someone sent a message.
Tang picked up his phone and saw that this message came from [Qiuqiu].
Qiuqiu: [Why don't you come here?]
Qiuqiu... still alive
Tang was taken aback, his phone fell to the ground with a loud bang.
"Tang, what's wrong?" the teacher on the podium asked after interrupting the class.
"No, it's fine..." Tang stammered, he picked up the phone, "Teacher, I... I have something to do, can I ask for a leave in the afternoon?"
The teacher said, "What's the matter?"
"I'm not feeling well..." Tang did look unwell, his face was pale, the back of his head was wet with sweat, and he looked extremely haggard.
"Okay, but the teacher will call you at night, have a good rest." The teacher thought of what happened to him, sighed, and agreed.
Tang rushed home with his mobile phone and schoolbag. As soon as he got home, he couldn't wait to throw off his schoolbag and open Qiuqiu's text messages tremblingly.
The previous female voice came from the kitchen: "Tang, why are you back at this time?"
Tang said: "Qiuqiu and the others disappeared, and the teacher left the get out of class early."
"Yeah, how did you disappear?"
"They said they wanted to look outside the wall." Tang lowered his head and said, "I don't know the specifics. I'll ask the teacher tomorrow if they have found them."
"Okay, be careful too. Fortunately, you didn't follow me, otherwise what would my mother do?"
Don: "… um."
He casually persuaded his mother, and at the same time swiped his hand on the screen of the mobile phone, and after a while, he sent a few messages back.
Tang: [Qiuqiu, you… are you still alive?]
He immediately retracted the message and sent another.
[Qiuqiu, where are you? Are you out? Why didn't you answer before?]
[Including Brother Dao, he also passed?]
Tang sent several messages in a row, but no one responded. Holding the phone, he stood up from his seat and circled back and forth at home, muttering in his mouth: "This is impossible, this is impossible, this is impossible …”
It was the afternoon at this time, and the sunshine was not bad, but the light in the Tang family was very dim, and the sunlight could not come in. There was only a little residual brilliance, which added an ominous atmosphere to the picture.
Next, Tang waited for a long time, but did not wait for the next message from the mobile phone.
He noticed that he was hungry, so he put down his mobile phone and ran to the kitchen: "Mom, forget it, stop cooking, let me have some noodles."
The gentle woman said, "Okay, good boy."
Tang smiled, he ran back, took out the instant noodles from the cupboard, and cooked a bowl of noodles for himself.
Just then, the phone screen turned on again.
Rui Xin: [Liar, traitor, why didn't you come? We are waiting for you, we are waiting for you! ! !]
The moment he saw this message, Tang knocked over his noodle bowl, and the instant noodles spilled on the ground, splashing on the snow-white walls and the boy's trouser legs.
"Mom, it's alright! I'll clean it myself." Tang called towards the kitchen, "Don't come out yet, I'll clean up before you come out."
But after he roared, he didn't go straight to clean up the messy ground, but took the phone and started replying.
[This... This is impossible, where did you send me the information? !]
[How about you people?]
[Where are you waiting for me? You... how did you know? ?]
Then Tang received news from those people one after another:
Brother Knife: [Coward, coward, come on, come here, you are the only one missing!]
[Come, we are one, we are together.]
[We've all broken the restrictions, we're all outside the walls, so... come here quickly, don't make us wait too long.]
[…]
One by one, these short messages were read out by the narrator in a fluctuating voice, plus the switching of the left and right channels, as if they were ringing in the ears of the audience.
"Dead people don't send messages, no!!"
Tang roared uncontrollably, he threw the phone against the wall, and said loudly.
[Go away, go away!]
However, on the wall behind him, the camera gave a close-up of the snow-white wall for more than ten seconds, from the instant noodle stains to the seven shadows that gradually appeared on the wall.
Five men and two women.
They stretched out their hands and grabbed at Don who had his back to the wall.
[Just wait...you.]
At this time, the camera suddenly turned to another room in Tang's house. The door of that room was locked, and the vision was gradually zoomed in. In the end, the audience was presented with one after another photo.
This room is a mourning hall, and on the table are enshrined the photos of the parents.
Tang's parents are long dead.
In front of the photo, there was a small hexagonal altar.
This is the end of the film. It's not too long, it's like a medium-length web drama.
In the end, the audience has no way of knowing what is outside the wall, and the ultimate truth, and can only guess through the details.
There are no ghosts coming out of it, it really seems like an ordinary horror movie, and the reincarnators are just ordinary viewers.
The other residents of the town got up one after another and left the cinema.
Wen Wenwen thought about the plot in his mind. He was paying attention to Sherlock beside him. Seeing that the other party didn't write a comment like last time, he leaned over and asked curiously, "Lao Xia, why didn't you write a comment this time?"
Xiao Li was caught off guard by the title "Lao Xia", but there was a lesson from "Lao Wang", so he didn't struggle on this point.
He closed the blank little yellow book and turned to face Wen Wenwen: "Do you know what my lowest rating is for a movie?"
Wen Wenwen: "Uh, private message the director online?"
Xiao Li: "No, I fell asleep in the middle of it. When I woke up, the theater was completely empty. Not only was I not interested in commenting, but I wanted to be grateful for its hypnotic effect."
He pointed to the big screen: "Like this one."
"If I can meet the director, I will definitely give him the title of 'King of Bad Movies'."
Wen Wenwen: "..."
He couldn't help but glanced at the rest of the audience in the cinema, and glanced at the big screen, for fear that the "director" who shot the film—the other party was probably a ghost—rushed out like this and came to settle accounts with Sherlock.
After all, according to the law that "murderers often like to go back to the crime scene to see the reactions of the onlookers, in order to satisfy their curiosity", "Director Ghost" made this film and definitely hoped to see feedback from the audience.
"Okay, let's end it quickly, I want to go back and watch a good movie to wash my eyes." Xiao Li didn't care so much, he put away the little yellow book and stood up.
