The movie "Evanescence 2: Apocalypse" is a very classic game adaptation, and in Mei Fang's mind it can basically be ranked in the top three.
In this series of movies, it can be said that 2 is the most worth watching. The others are either too small in scale and lack the sense of despair of a zombie siege; or too macro and finally degenerate into a plot of several super-powered people fighting each other.
Of course, in the game, the story that happened in Bear City is also one of the most classic legends in this series of works. The fate of almost all the protagonists changed here.
In order to better observe Mei Fang's viewing experience from a close distance, Xia Yuan specifically asked Mei Fang to sit in the middle of the sofa this time. He patted Mei Fang's shoulder and reminded him in a teasing tone.
"This way, you will have sisters on both sides to protect you. If you are scared, it's okay to pull the sisters with you."
"It would be better if you could protect me at that time, instead of the other way around."
"Hey, how is that possible—"
"So shall I start?"
Lin Youxi was holding the remote control in her hand, and after getting permission, she pressed the play button.
Two ignorant little brats.
Xia Yuan and Lin Youxi, one was cheerful at the beginning, while the other had no expression, but as the movie went on, he gradually became nervous following the emotional rhythm.
Xia Yuan unconsciously took Mei Fang's arm, and Lin Youxi put his hand on Mei Fang's waist.
"Will the person behind this wake up?"
"These people are so evil. There are so many innocent citizens, and they won't let them leave!"
"The zombies here are so strong, how can a few people defeat them..."
Mei Fang was reliving his childhood memories with great interest when he suddenly noticed that Xia Yuan's eyes were on him.
"Why are you looking at me? Watch a movie."
"I, I want to make sure you're not scared."
"You look frightened—"
Before Mei Fang finished speaking, a scene of zombies eating a female reporter suddenly popped up on the TV screen. The loud noise of being eaten scared Xia Yuan so much that she screamed. On the other side, Lin Youxi lowered her head and pinched Mei Fang's waist tightly, causing Mei Fang to scream in pain.
"This movie is so scary! Since everyone is afraid, let's not watch it, okay?"
"I'm not afraid." Mei Fang distanced himself from the matter.
"Aren't you afraid that you just yelled so loudly!"
"That's Youxi pinching me!"
"I didn't!"
Lin Youxi lied without changing his expression or heartbeat.
"No, no, I'm so sleepy... Ah Fang, I want to sleep. Youxi, you want to sleep too, right?"
Mei Fang interrupted the two of them before Lin Youxi could say anything, "We've already seen this much, there shouldn't be much left. How can you sleep if you don't finish reading it?"
"I think so too..." Lin Youxi's hand was still on Mei Fang's waist but she didn't use any more force. "Let's finish reading it, Yuanyuan."
"That's true..."
Xia Yuan reluctantly let Mei Fang continue clicking play.
"What kind of horror movie is this? The heroine has super powers, and some of the teammates are pretty good. If you want to watch a horror movie, this is the one below me..."
"Shh, don't talk!"
Mei Fang's enthusiastic introduction was interrupted, but he did not feel offended, but rather felt a little emotional.
Being with them, I also become a little childish...
He is enjoying the movie-watching experience now.
Mei Fang has loved watching movies since he was a child, and he often goes to the video club to rent discs to watch.
However, at that time, his parents were busy with work, so he always watched it alone.
Of course, one can also enjoy watching it alone.
Of course, it is also very exciting to watch alone.
However, without someone to share the movie-watching experience with, it always feels like something is missing.
The reason why he chose "Lonely Ridge" was that he wanted to make up for a childhood regret.
The first time he watched "Lonely Hill" was on TV. It was very late that day and Mei Fang was the only one at home.
He curled up in his quilt watching a movie alone, his teeth chattering with fear.
Just when the movie was seeing the thrilling switch to the other world, there was a sudden power outage in his house.
The power outage was not restored until noon the next day.
One can imagine how Mei Fang spent that night alone.
He still remembers the pitch-black dream world of that day, the triangular head, the mummy in the toilet, and the little girl with flames coming out of her body.
Although he finally watched it again many years later, he could never recapture the feeling he had when he first watched it in elementary school.
Now, looking at Xia Yuan and Lin Youxi's focused expressions, Mei Fang felt indescribably happy.
Although I can never go back to the innocence of the past, looking at their appearance, they are like projections of my youth.
"Huh... I finally finished watching it."
Xia Yuan stretched his body lazily. "It wasn't that scary in the end. The final boss didn't feel as oppressive as the zombie dogs at the beginning."
Lin Youxi nodded, "I think so too. It's a bit anticlimactic. I don't know if they were in a hurry to finish filming. The boss's pressure is so strong. They could have filmed a few more scenes."
“Alright, alright!”
Mei Fang's excitement had just begun. "Next, let's watch Lonely Ridge. Don't forget we still have a bet!"
"Ah... Are you still watching, Ah Fang? I really don't want to watch anymore. I'm so tired."
Xia Yuan rubbed his eyes and said, "I'm tired and sleepy, I just want to sleep."
Seeing this, Lin Youxi also nodded in agreement, "Let's watch it tomorrow, Fang. We've already watched two movies today, let's digest it!"
"Okay..."
Mei Fang took a deep breath and looked lost.
After washing up, Xia Yuan and Lin Youxi went to the master bedroom to sleep with their pillows, while Mei Fang returned to her own room.
All Mei Fang is thinking about now is the plot of "Lonely Ridge".
He thought about how frightened Lin Youxi and Xia Yuan would be if they saw those scenes.
As he thought about it, he finally felt a little sleepy.
Just as I was about to close my eyes, there was a sudden knock on the door.
Mei Fang jumped up from the bed with a start.
Damn, that scared me!
The ones who came in were Lin Youxi and Xia Yuan.
"Afang..."
"Why are you two here instead of sleeping?"
"Afang... we both couldn't sleep."
Xia Yuan pinched her nose and looked around. "Your room doesn't have air conditioning, and it's hot to sleep at night. Do you want to sleep in our room?"
"That's not good, right?" Mei Fang shook his head, "But I'm a boy."
"What are you thinking about? You will definitely sleep on the floor, or... Youxi and I can sleep on the floor, what do you think?"
"Come here quickly."
Lin Youxi spoke briefly and to the point, staring at Mei Fang coldly, with an expression that said he was determined to continue arguing with her.
"Okay, I'll sleep on the floor."
Mei Fang couldn't persuade the two girls, so she had to follow them to the master bedroom.
Xia Yuan and Lin Youxi helped Mei Fang make the bed on the floor and found a pillow for him to sleep on.
"That should be enough..."
Mei Fang looked at Xia Yuan and Lin Youxi who were sitting on the bed facing each other, "Can we turn off the lights now?"
"Wait, wait a minute! Why are you turning off the lights so early?"
Xia Yuan wrapped himself and Lin Youxi tightly with a blanket and said, "Let's talk about something else before going to sleep."
Mei Fang thought for a moment, smiled and said, "How about... telling a ghost story?"
"You want to die!"
After Xia Yuan and Lin Youxi threw pillows at Mei Fang's face and chatted about random topics, everyone finally began to feel tired.
Mei Fang turned off the lights quietly, and Lin Youxi and Xia Yuan on the bed were left with only some whispered words.
Seeing that both of them had fallen asleep peacefully, Mei Fang tiptoed to the door and was about to quietly open it and leave, but at this moment he heard the sound of faint mumbling in his sleep.
"Ah Fang... please don't leave... please don't leave, okay?"
Mei Fang was stunned for a moment, because he couldn't tell whether the voice came from Yuanyuan or Youxi.
After a moment of silence, he chose to return to his room.
Although it was a bit stuffy outside, it was not unbearable.
Mei Fang leaned back in her chair, raised her head, and gazed out the window at the brilliant starry sky. This was a beautiful night view that could still be seen in 2008.
If it had been a few years later, he might never have seen the stars in the sky again.
Time passes too fast...
Mei Fang let out a long sigh.
It's actually pretty good to be a kid.
