Although CDs came out very early in Japan, videotapes were still used for a very long time. Even though they have disappeared in China, Japan is still using them.
It can only be that their society is too stubborn, but it is inevitable. After all, those who occupy the top are old-fashioned and class stratification is extremely serious.
"Okay," Songgang Dong agreed happily.
After hearing his affirmative answer, a sly smile flashed across Shinomiya Mikoto's face, and then she put a videotape into the player.
"What movie?" Song Gangdong took out a bag of squid shreds from the refrigerator and returned to the sofa to ask.
"It is said to be a new horror movie recently," Shinomiya responded casually.
"Oh? Do you dare to look?" Song Gangdong asked curiously.
Shinomiya Mikoto replied arrogantly: "Why not? Just don't be so scared that you can't sleep later."
"Then I'd like to see how scary this movie is," Song Gangdong became interested.
In my previous life, I watched so many ghost movies that I became immune to them. Although the technology is getting more and more advanced, I feel that they are not as exciting as some of the older movies.
Moreover, some of the movies in this world were not available in his previous life, so he was quite looking forward to it.
"I think it would be more atmospheric if we turn off the lights," suggested Shinomiya Mikoto.
"Okay." Of course Songgang Dong had no problem with it, and he was also surprised that Sigong was so brave.
Chapter 75: The Power Outage
After turning off the switch, the room fell into darkness. Only the TV in front was still emitting light. Coupled with the strong wind and heavy rain outside, the atmosphere suddenly became very gloomy.
However, neither of them cared too much about this situation. After all, they had all been baptized by many horror movies, but Songgang Dong had been more than Shigong.
"I'm starting," said Shinomiya as he put the videotape in.
The image immediately appeared on the TV and they sat on both sides of the sofa to watch. The light shining on their faces was somewhat terrifying.
"Huh? This movie?" Songgang Dong was very surprised after seeing the beginning.
Shigong asked in confusion: "Have you been to the movie? But this is a new movie that was recently released. I haven't seen you go to the cinema?"
"No, I just feel a little familiar," Song Gangdong shook his head.
Not only is the architectural scene at the beginning familiar, it is also a shadow of his childhood, which is one of the most terrifying movies in his previous life, The Grudge.
This movie scared many people at the time, and even scared a few people to death. Even veteran horror movie watchers felt a deep chill after watching it.
However, the one on TV now is not called "The Grudge" but "The Grudge". God knows why the name was changed, but the plot is basically the same.
The biggest difference is that this movie was not released until 1998 in the previous life, but here it was released in 1991 and there is a video tape.
After seeing this, he felt that he should pay more attention to information about movies. After all, some movies are still worth investing in, especially in this era when the circle is not so shady and investors can still make a lot of money.
"I heard from others that this movie is indeed very scary. If you feel scared, you don't have to watch it," Song Gangdong kindly advised.
But Shigong thought he was scared and snickered and said, "Thank you, but I'm fine. If you're scared, you can go upstairs first."
"Okay then, don't blame me for not reminding you," Songgang Dong shrugged.
Then he watched the video attentively while chewing the squid strips. Speaking of which, the horror movies played on the videotape were much more exciting than those in later generations.
"Come to think of it, the house inside is somewhat similar to ours," Songgang Dong said casually.
Shinomiya Mikoto thought about it and felt a little gloomy in her heart, but she quickly suppressed it and replied: "Many single-family houses in Japan are like this. It's very common and not surprising."
As the plot progresses, the movie becomes more and more terrifying, especially the closet scene, where Junxiong looks for someone to play with, and the high school girl whose chin is missing.
"Well, come to think of it, Kayako in the movie is the same. Since she's already married, she keeps her first love deep in her heart and even writes a diary," Songgang Dong complained.
"Hmm..." Sigong said softly.
When Songgang Dong heard the weak voice, he turned around and saw that she had curled up on the sofa hugging a pillow without him noticing.
His face was slightly pale and there was fear in his eyes. It was obvious that he was scared. After all, this movie is really scary for people today.
"Are you okay?" Song Gangdong asked carefully.
Sigong forced himself to look at him and said stubbornly: "What's the matter?"
"You're like this already?" Song Gangdong looked at her speechlessly.
"I just feel a little cold," she responded stiffly.
It's so hard to persuade that damned ghost. Seeing her insistence, Song Gangdong shrugged: "Okay then."
In fact, although the movie "The Grudge" is very scary when you watch it, the aftertaste after watching it is even more powerful, because the locations in the movie are the same as the real life environment, so the sense of immersion is extremely strong.
He was sure that this guy would not have a good sleep tonight. Even though he himself had watched the movie many times and had watched various other versions, he still felt a chill, let alone her, who was watching it for the first time.
The movie was still going on, and Sigong slowly moved towards Songgang Dong, and soon only about half a meter was left.
Song Gangdong certainly noticed it but he didn't pay any attention to it. He just felt it was very funny in his heart.
And Shinomiya now hates Saori in her heart. The reason why she wanted to watch the horror movie was because Saori said that Matsuoka Dong was most afraid of this, but now she finds that it is not the case at all.
Another thing is that I completely overestimated myself. I felt that I had watched enough horror movies and didn't feel anything after watching them. Who knew that there would be such a scary movie.
"Wait for her to come back," she thought resentfully while hugging the pillow tightly.
At this moment, suddenly a very strong electric light shone in from the window, and the whole room became bright in an instant, and then fell into darkness in an instant.
Rumble!
But then there was a deafening thunder, and the TV that was on suddenly went out, as did the street lights outside, and they were suddenly plunged into absolute darkness.
It just so happened that the picture before the TV went off was Kayako's terrifying appearance. This interaction between inside and outside immediately broke down Shinomiya Mikoto's defense.
"what!"
With a scream, Songgang Dong felt his body sink, and then he was hugged tightly, with the softness fully pressing against his chest.
As lightning illuminated the room again, Songgang Dong looked down and saw that she had buried her head in his arms, her upper body pressed tightly against him, making him unable to move.
Looking at her trembling body, he did not say anything for a while. After a while, the thunder and lightning gradually passed away.
"Ahem, it seems that the electricity cannot be restored for a while. We need to find some candles," Song Gangdong reminded.
As the thunder disappeared, Sigong recovered a little. Then, when he realized the current situation, his face turned red and he quickly left him.
"I was just startled by the thunder just now," she tried to defend herself.
"Yeah, it was really loud. I was scared," Songgang Dong agreed with a grin.
Because it was dark, she couldn't see the other person's face clearly, but she could still sense something from the tone of voice, so she was very angry.
"Since there's no electricity, I'm going upstairs to sleep." She stood up and was about to walk in the dark.
But then he tripped over the coffee table and fell backwards with a scream. Song Gangdong hurried to catch him, and he fell back onto the sofa.
"Be careful, let me go find the candle first," Songgang Dong suggested, hugging her.
At this time, Shigong was sitting on him, and then she felt something poking her from underneath.
"Put away the TV remote control," she shyly said as she quickly got up.
"Huh?" Songgang Dong was confused at first and then thought of something.
Then he quickly responded: "Oh, I see. Just sit still and I'll go find some candles."
This time Sigong was very obedient. After all, compared to her, Songgang Dong knew everything here very well, so she groped her way and slowly sat down.
Then after Songgang Dong left, I recalled what had just happened and suddenly felt something was wrong, because it seemed that the remote control had always been on my side.
Then she groped around and found it on the edge of the sofa, and that was the place where she had just placed it.
"Huh? If that wasn't a remote control, then it was..." She suddenly remembered something and her eyes widened.
Just when her face looked like a monkey's butt, the light of the candle dispelled the darkness, and Songgang Dong came over with two candlesticks.
"It was originally intended for decoration, but I didn't expect it would come in handy," said Songgang Dong with a smile.
The candlesticks were silver and had white candles on them. Actually, they were bought by Songgang's mother to be used for candlelight dinners, but she went on a trip abroad before she could use them.
"Um..."
"Huh? Why is your face so red? Do you have a cold?"
Songgang Dong noticed something was wrong in the candlelight and asked with concern, then naturally covered her forehead with his hand.
"No, I just feel a little hot," she responded in a low voice with evasive eyes.
She had realized what she had just sat on, so she didn't dare to look at the other person directly. It was too embarrassing.
"But didn't you say you were cold just now?" Song Gangdong was a little surprised.
Although that kind of accident happened just now, I didn’t feel like a big deal. After all, the other party got up quickly, and I just dealt with it perfunctorily so I didn’t think too much about it.
"It's none of your business," Shinomiya Mikoto shouted in annoyance.
Then he stood up, grabbed a candlestick and went upstairs. Song Gangdong was a little confused: "Could it be that she knows what happened just now?"
Based on her reaction, he quickly guessed the reason and then chuckled. It seemed that this guy knew a lot, otherwise how could he react so quickly.
Chapter 76: Nightmares
After Shinomiya Mikoto returned to her room, her heart was still beating fast. After putting the candlestick away, she immediately threw herself on the bed and buried her head in the quilt.
"It's that thing, but it's not that big in the movie." Shinomiya Mikoto thought about the feeling just now with great shame.
Do you think boys are very H? NO, in fact, they are much worse than girls. When they are H, the bottom line is to be broken.
As a young lady, she had received special education, so she was very curious for a while. She and the maid Nagasawa secretly looked at many things, so she was quite knowledgeable about that aspect.
It took her a long time to calm down, and then she was about to go to bed. However, when she heard the howling wind and rain outside the window, she was no longer sleepy for a moment.
Then she looked around the room under the candlelight and felt a little spooky. Then the plots in the movie just now began to emerge in her mind one by one.
"Don't think..." She forced herself to think about something else.
And the more this happened, the more out of control her thoughts became, especially when she looked at the closet. She always felt like something was watching her, and she didn't dare to look.
"Sleep, sleep." She simply hid in the quilt and curled up.
Although it was a bit stuffy inside the quilt, it gave me a sense of security. And if I lifted the edge of the quilt a little, I would not be so short of oxygen.
Just after she closed her eyes for a while, she heard the sound of footsteps. At this time, she was very sensitive to sounds, and she knew it was Songgang Dongya who went back to his room to sleep.
