If I don't have money to go to college, I can only go to slay the dragon

Chapter 371 Thriller

America, the small town of Carmel, twelve o'clock in the morning.

In front of the small cinema on the street at night, today’s show and show time are written with chalk on the small blackboard. Couples cuddling together come in and out in pairs, taxis run over the uneven stone road on the street and splash Splashes of water, the raised car windows reflected the gentle lights of the roadside restaurants.

The door of the taxi parked on the side of the road was opened, and the woman got out from inside, stuffed a banknote through the lowered window, and waited patiently by the side of the car until she found the change inside and took it away. Stuffing every coin and small bill into the little purse in his hand, he waited for the taxi to pull off the curb to reveal the cinema across the street.

The woman tousled her hair and looked around. Except for the street lights on the road, she only saw lovers and lovers. Occasionally, there was a drunk man in a beach suit wandering by the side of the street with a wine bottle, leaning on the wires The pole was drunk, and the couples sitting at the roadside table in the restaurant pointed at him and laughed, and they were used to drinking alcoholic beverages with the same forked stick in their mouths.

The woman stood for a while, watching the night scene for more than ten seconds, and finally smiled and walked to the cinema across the street.

She didn't forget that she was going to watch a movie tonight.

The cinema on the street is very small, as small as the roadside stalls selling unscrupulous discs in the last era. Generally speaking, this kind of cinema will be crowded out by 3D and imax in big cities. Yes, but it is different in this small town. The atmosphere of a small town that believes in the supremacy of art will always leave some private land for these once-glorious and most beautiful cultures.

And the theater in front of the woman is indeed retro style. Interested guests like her will even put on their own white fox fur and put on the reddest lipstick, as if walking out of a black and white metropolis poster The girl also attracted passers-by to turn back frequently.

She carried her purse and walked into the movie theater slowly. The waiter at the door saluted her. With a skillful smile, she took out a banknote from the purse and put it on the waiter's tray, and walked towards the ticket office in the theater. In the warm yellow light.It's just that there are not many people in the lobby of the movie theater at this time, and the movie has already opened. Maybe it seems a little late to come back at this time?
But the woman doesn't care, after all the real protagonist is always late to the scene.

The movie theater is also decorated in the modern era of the last century, with shiny chandeliers, black and white movie posters, behind the retro counter is a conductor with a modern girl with big waves, and the vinyl record in the hall is playing the old song "Two_Little_Girls_from_Little_Rock 》, still wiping lipstick on his mouth and smilingly looking at the woman coming.

Theaters do not prohibit buying tickets while watching a movie. In the past, when the traffic was not developed, there would always be people late, because the era of the film industry was the era of the economic crisis in the United States, and it was not easy to buy a movie ticket with spare money. , so the rules of the cinema are relatively more lenient.

This movie theater is no exception, it allows halfway admission, and even knowledgeable people will find that there is a passage in the alley next to the movie theater that children can get into by stepping on trash cans, and they can’t buy movies from the passage Children with tickets can sneak around to the backcourt and watch a movie for free, which is very old-fashioned and humane-but it is worth mentioning that when playing episodes above R16, this channel is locked of.

The woman walked to the counter and glanced at the target on the small blackboard next to her. The conductor kindly introduced to the ceremonial audience, "Do I need to buy a ticket? There are still many reserved seats for tonight's show. But all the movies have already opened, and you need to enter from the backcourt. Here, I personally recommend watching "Roman Holiday" or "Gone with the Wind" tonight. These two movies only open for 10 minutes. Now you can get a relatively complete movie viewing Experience."

Yes, that’s right, this movie theater also follows the retro style in the film arrangement. There are no most popular movies of the season, no CG and special effects flying together, and some are just film movies that make a slight clicking sound when playing. Every line, every noise on the screen is full of the atmosphere of the era, all classics.

The viewers have often seen these movies, but the nostalgic thoughts can make them bring their own suits and hats into the theater every time, and fly to the once golden movie with the thoughts of everyone in the movie theater. age.

The plays written on the blackboard next to the woman are "Roman Holiday", "Gone with the Wind" and the older "Butterfly Dream" and "The Temptation", but the woman's eyes fell directly to the bottom There is only one movie in one column, called "The Town of Blood".

It was a niche film shot in 1980, and even at that time the number of films was very small, but the owner of this theater got the first version of the tape released at that time out of interest, so this film probably can only be played in This little place sees it.

"Bloody town at 8 o'clock, thank you." The woman handed out a banknote.

"But this movie has been playing for an hour, and it's almost halfway through." The conductor took the banknote and reminded after a moment of hesitation.

"Second time." The woman said with a smile, "There aren't many people inside, right?"

"Not many, only three or four spectators." The conductor immediately showed a knowing smile, no longer worried, and put the movie tickets on the counter.

The woman took the change, and the movie tickets, and walked into the infield. The waiter put down the red rope in front of the door of movie hall B for her, and gently pushed the door open. From behind the door came the original sound of the movie and the dim In the bright light, she walked in with her head bowed, and the door behind her was closed.

The movie theater is not big, even small, reminiscent of a VIP theater in a big city. It is completely dark inside, and the only source of light is the light projected by a movie projector on a white screen.

The picture above the curtain is a road, on both sides of the road is the wilderness, a red old-fashioned convertible sports car is galloping on the road, passing by one piece after another of the scenery.

The woman found her seat in the dim light and sat down. She specially bought a seat in the back row, but judging from today's show.

There seemed to be only four people in this unpopular movie, one of them was still asleep on the seat, his head was looking at the ceiling and he was not snoring at all, and the other people were watching the movie quietly, their faces shimmered by the white light and seemed to be very absorbed. He didn't notice the woman who came in later.

No one noticed her, and she didn't go to see anyone. The movie in the cinema was playing all the time. The red convertible sports car was running on the road. There were mountains in the distance, blue sky behind the mountain, and a white town under the blue sky.

They are all empty shots with no focus, as if the director is expressing his incomprehensible feelings of loss. Only the sound of tires rolling over the road can be heard. back of the head.

The man driving was leaning on the side of the car with one hand holding the steering wheel and looking into the distance, while the woman with curly blond hair kept her head down and didn't know what she was playing. I cut my hair, passed by mountains and wilderness, white clouds and blue sky, there are no lines in the whole process, only refreshing scenery.

The name of the movie is "Blood Love Town", as its name suggests, it is a thriller, but now it seems that it is completely a promotional film and a tourist film, but none of their audience complained, just quietly Looking at these empty shots, looking at the backs of men and women on red roadsters.

The same goes for women.

After finishing her makeup, she held the bag in front of her with both hands and watched the sports cars and roads in the movie without saying a word. The light shone on her face without showing any expression.

In the flickering light, looking from behind, the woman's hands were not holding the small bag, but stretched into the sideways small bag, gently holding a black hand on her nail-painted hand. handles.

It was a pistol.

She watched old movies with a ladylike smile on her face, but held a deadly weapon in her hand.

There are four people in the movie theater, one is sleeping, and the three are watching the movie intently. If a woman takes out a pistol from her bag, who will she hit?
In the next moment, the woman gave the answer.

No one could have predicted her sudden rise. From the perspective of others, this woman came in to watch a movie for a while and suddenly stood up. Then she naturally took out the pistol from her bag and aimed it from high to low. In the corner, the audience who fell asleep with their hats on their faces pulled the trigger of their pistols.

Three gunshots were fired, and amidst the violent gunshots, the scarlet bullets shot down obliquely, and exploded on the chest of the audience!

The other three viewers in the movie theater shrank their necks in shock, and had the reaction they should have when watching a thriller for the first time. They turned around in horror and found the modern girl who shot the gun. Smile, only cold seriousness and heaviness.

The audience who was hit by bullets in the arena didn't even have a chance to wake up. There was blood on their chests, and they lay quietly on their seats. The hat on his face slowly slipped off, revealing a young man's face. With stunned and shocked.

"Confirmation. Hit!" The woman pointed the gun at the man and said lightly.

She lifted her wavy blonde hair with one hand, and hid a black headset underneath.

The door of the movie theater was knocked open in an instant, and crowds of all colors rushed into the small theater. These people included couples in couple costumes, waiters in restaurants, and even uncles in beach clothes and taxi drivers, ranging from women Everyone passing through the aisle in the back row is a character that can be seen everywhere on the road, holding a submachine gun and aiming at everyone in the field.

Outside the gate, the conductor behind the ticket counter was lying on the ground with his hands on the back of his head in horror, and all the waiters were squatting in the corner with their heads in their hands, and the originally lively street scene outside the cinema door fell into dead silence at some point.

The original passers-by and chefs on the street all had uniform seriousness and indifference on their faces at this moment. They hid behind the railings and downturned tables, wore headsets in their ears, and aimed at the gate of the street cinema with standard firearms in their hands.Even the drivers in a row of taxis on the side of the road were all holding weapons and using the doors as cover to respond to the situation at any time.

Helicopters whizzed across the sky, and every roof along the road was full of men and women in black windbreakers, controlling the scene with infrared binoculars and sniper rifles, and the sound of alarm bells blocking the road could only be heard three blocks away. The blocks behind the blockade are all strictly guarded.

The whole process is all about the change that happens when the woman walks into the movie theater, and the woman shoots is the signal that the action starts and ends.

The instructor of the special task of the Executive Department of Kassel College walked into the cinema quickly. He held a silver Beretta in his hand and pulled the breech neatly. He went straight past the woman in the aisle and put the gun on the scene. On the cheek of the young man who was shot next to him, he looked closely at the details of the man's face.

"It is determined to be a fugitive mixed race, basically the same as the suspect captured in the surveillance video." Ten seconds later, the instructor pressed the headset and said coldly, "The operation was successful, and now we will immediately start to restrain the corpses and clean up the unrelated people at the scene."

In the movie, the other three audience members were about to say something, but the modern girl with a pistol shot immediately, and the three bullets accurately hit the chests of the three audience members, and the three of them fell to the ground as blood blossomed gradually.

"Take them to the psychological department and follow the normal process," the instructor said.

The uncle in beach clothes led a few people into the aisle, picked up a few spectators who had been shot by Frigga and fell into a coma, and walked out, while the rest of them pointed their guns at the chairs and looked up. Young man against the ceiling.

"Are you sure it's him?" The woman who started everything and ended everything couldn't help but said, even if she shot the man, she couldn't help but look at him a few more times, as if the man would wake up from his deep sleep immediately come over.

"I'm sure it's him. The 'A' grade fugitive of mixed race has been recorded by the enforcement department. He is related to dozens of mysterious power cases. He especially likes to commit crimes in movie theaters. The enforcement department has been chasing him in big cities for the past six months, but nothing is too big. Harvest, recently there was information that he appeared in the small town of Carmel, and now it seems that the information is true, we have caught him." The instructor looked at the sleeping young man in front of him and said coldly, the contact lens on his pupil The real-time images uploaded here are compared with Norma who is far away at the headquarters.

"Is it that simple?" The woman raised her eyebrows and couldn't help but look at the man more.

"Mandy Gonzalez, you are indeed an excellent intern. It is estimated that no intern I have ever taken is better than you as a lurker and undercover agent. You played your role perfectly, and it is you His acting skills allowed us to complete this operation so smoothly."

The instructor raised his finger and twirled it. Immediately, three commissioners came with a box. After injecting a strong tranquilizer into the neck of the sleeping young man, they wrapped him tightly with handcuffs and a straitjacket. Then he was carried on a stretcher to the outside of the cinema, and there was already a security cart with steel plates waiting there at the door.

"Thank you for the compliment." Mandy put down the gun and scratched her curly blond hair, "It's just that it feels too easy. I completed the mission last time with my life and death."

"Not every task is so difficult." The instructor put away Beretta, turned to look at Mandy who was high up and nodded.

"I hope so." Mandy finally let go of the tense breath, and slumped on the seat.

All the gunmen escorted the prisoner to the custody vehicle, and now only Mandy and the instructor were left in the theater.

"Even if he's an 'A' hybrid, he's just one person, we're a team, he never dreamed that we'd clear out the entire block and replace it with our people, he stepped in from the very beginning This block has fallen into our trap since then, and what we will do next is to minimize the difficulty and loss of arrest." The instructor ejected the bullets in Beretta and pressed them back into the magazine.

"Damn it, I thought it was another tough battle today, but I didn't expect to drop his car so easily, it's really embarrassing for the 'A' mixed race!" Mandy sat on the chair, brushed her chest and exclaimed He took a deep breath and couldn't help but swear.

"It seems that it is the right choice for you to complete the role of secret service. No wonder the 'S' class praised your calmness and decisiveness in actual combat in the last mission report." The instructor looked at Mandy and nodded in satisfaction, " I will give full marks to your internship, and your credits will probably be enough to graduate after returning to school? How about you, are you interested in continuing to work in the executive department?"

"No, no, I just performed better on the spot." Mandy immediately put on a bitter face.

Before going to the small town of Carmel to carry out the task, she never imagined that she would be cheated by her previous record. She thought that the executive department would only assign a logistics task to her, a senior intern, but she did not expect that Being so valued and thrown into the most dangerous secret service position in the mission!

Fortunately, the dangerous hybrid this time was a pig. She pretended to be sleeping there and didn't know when she was waiting for someone to attack. She stood up and shot three bullets, ending the mission directly.

"Don't think too much about it. Afterwards, the torture department will tell him what crime the prisoner committed. The more serious his crime, the better your evaluation will be. You are the biggest contributor this time." When the instructor passed by Mandy, he smiled and patted her on the shoulder, "Sit down for a while and calm down before you come out. It's normal to be a little nervous. After all, I have been in such a small space with dangerous mixed races for a long time, and I have psychological pressure. Understandable."

After finishing speaking, the instructor left the theater, leaving only Mandy sitting in it. The hall was filled with the footsteps of commissioners and the sound of guns being fired.

Mandy sat there for a while, scratched her blond hair that was specially curled, and stood up to leave.

When she walked to the aisle, she turned her head and took another look at the curtain. The movie on it was still playing, and it was still a convertible car, the backs of men and women, and the blue sky in the wilderness.

This scene has been playing for at least a few minutes, and the movie hasn't progressed a bit!Could it be that the previous hour was full of this scene?
"It's really scary to think about this movie." Mandy muttered and was about to leave.

But at this time, the sound of singing suddenly sounded in the theater, and Mandy paused her footsteps and looked back at the curtain strangely, only to see that the men and women in the convertible began to make new movements for the first time, no longer their backs facing the audience.

"The weather is great today!"

In the convertible, the woman lying on the golden waves suddenly stretched her arms and spoke, and English lines appeared under the curtain.

After driving for such a long time, the first line is to say that the weather is great?Are the director and screenwriter out of their minds?No wonder this kind of movie can only be shown in this small movie theater.

Mandy rolled her eyes, but inexplicably felt that the woman's voice was quite familiar, she didn't know where she had heard it before, which made her stand for a while longer, looking at the movie with her hands folded, wondering how long they had been playing The car will go to a small town in the distance.

The story of a small town in the title of the movie must have happened in a small town, right?The acting of this movie is generally outrageous before it reaches the town.

"Commissioner Gonzalez, prepare to retreat, the police are going to take over the scene." The instructor's voice came from outside the theater.

"Come here!" Mandy yelled.

But at this moment, she froze suddenly.

Because the moment she opened her mouth, she suddenly remembered why the blonde woman's voice was so familiar in the movie.

that was her own voice
And people are often not so sensitive to their own voices, just like Mandy didn't recognize the woman in the movie when she spoke.

It was also at this time that the scene in the movie finally jumped.

Mandy turned her head slowly, took another look, her pupils suddenly dilated, and her adrenaline was rushing, as if she had the most reaction she should have when watching a thriller.

Because it is this one glance that completely confirms that this movie is a thriller just like it is introduced.

On the red convertible car in the movie, the woman with blond curly hair raises her hand to shade the sun and looks up at the camera and smiles.

Under the shooting of the camera, the face presented on the curtain is exactly the same as Mandy.

That face was looking at the camera, smiling, looking at Mandy herself, smiling.

"We're about to reach the town!" She pointed to the distance, and Mandy, who was chilling in the movie hall, saw that the place where the other party pointed was not a small town, but herself standing in front of the seat. .
