Chapter 457: The Weird World in the Movie
Translator: Noodletown Translations Editor: Noodletown Translations
The beginning of the movie was indeed a bit boring if one came to watch the movie expecting to learn something. The fighting scenes were lame in the eyes of warriors and cultivators even though the heroine showed strength much greater than ordinary people.
If one watched it as an ordinary movie, the chase part was in fact quite thrilling. After all, not every movie or game would begin with a great battle between an immortal and a demon as in the Legend of the Sword and Fairy 3.
At this moment, the camera turned to a telephone booth by the road. Meanwhile, the agents were crashing toward it while driving a big truck.
“This thing looks to be in the same category as the shop owner’s racecar...” Curious, Tang Yu walked up and stared at the truck.
Boom!
As a loud noise sounded, it seemed like the telephone booth was shattered with the heroine in it.
The headlights of the truck shone on the shattered telephone booth.
“She’s not in there?!”
At this moment, the dozens of viewers stood on the opposite side of the street with Mr. Fang, staring at the destroyed telephone booth.
There wasn’t a trace of the woman; it looked as if the truck had crashed into a ghost.
“Boss... Are you sure this isn’t Silent Hill?” Loli Jiang Xiaoyue moved closer to Mr. Fang subconsciously.
A big white deer raced to her. “Princess Your Highness, there... is a monster!”
Then, a Smirking Face Emoji floated over. “Strange. How come a little demon dares to venture out?”
“...”
Three agents got out from the truck. Agent Smith seemed to have anticipated this situation. “She got off.”
“!!??” All the people froze. “How did she do it?”
Even hackers have to follow the basic laws of nature when escaping, right?
Did she flee through the internet cable?!
“Master.”
Gu Tingyun looked grim. “I can’t tell how she left.”
Puzzled, the audience continued watching.
“There are such people in this world?” Wang Xie watched the scenes dubiously.
“Brother Wang, where do you think this place is?” While wearing crude clothes, Tang Yu had a black folding fan painted with golden bamboo leaves. He had bought it after growing vegetables for several days, and the fan looked quite fancy with its top-grade material.
As for clothes, he had run out of money.
The story of the Legend of the Sword and Fairy 3 was set in the Immortal World and Mortal World, and the viewers were familiar about it. However, the clothes and weapons in this movie were quite novel for them.
When the customers of the Yuanyang City Shop glanced at the customers from other shops, they found that one wore Kyo Kusanagi’s costume, one wore a sorcerer’s cloak, and one wore a Daoist robe from an unknown faction. In fact, there was even a Smirking Face Emoji floating in the air. There were all kinds of people wearing all kinds of clothes.
“...”
For the customers of the Yuanyang City Shop, most of them had never seen the style of living shown in the movie; it seemed to be a totally different civilization from theirs.
As the camera turned, they arrived at Neo’s home; Neo was the main character.
The following scene was even odder. When Neo woke up, the computer blacked out and then showed the words:
[Wake up Neo.
The Matrix has you...
Follow the white rabbit.]
Three strange, choppy, and puzzling messages appeared.
As the story went on, things got even weirder. At first, the Hacker Morpheus directed Neo through the phone to escape from the chasing agents in the big office; Morpheus even knew the exact moment when the agents had their backs to Neo. Easily, he helped Neo dodge the agents and get out of the office.
He was just beside the agents, but the latter couldn’t see him because he was in their blind spots, so they didn’t discover everything.
All of this was because someone directed his moves from a distance.
Some people in the audience had played Grand Theft Auto 5, and they did the Fleeca Bank Job. They felt like this scene was like when Lester used his own little software to avoid the bank’s defense software and hacked into its security system.
The audience watched while Neo failed in his escape and was apprehended by the agents.
Having watched some modern movies and games, the audience from the Jiuhua City and the Half City expected that Neo would be interrogated by the agents. Neo even gave the agents the finger and said that he would call a lawyer.
Without a word, the agent glued Neo’s lips, making him into a mouthless man. Meanwhile, a strange electronic device turned into an electronic worm and entered Neo’s belly.
“!!??”
The audience felt weirder, and their expressions became strange.
Even the people who knew the meaning of the word ‘hacker’ began to realize this wasn’t a movie about ordinary hackers.
“This world looks like that in Grand Theft Auto 5, but they are not the same, right?” Li Haoran said in surprise.
The technology shown in Resident Evil and Grand Theft Auto 5 was not complicated, and it was not difficult for them to understand and master.
While watching the movie, Song Qingfeng said in a low voice, “If the police in GTA 5 are as powerful as the agents in this movie, we wouldn’t be able to do any jobs.”
Wang Xie said, “They seem to know things that we don’t.”
Tang Yu said in a low voice, “The cars driven in the movie have the same mechanisms as the shop owner’s race car. He might have gotten the technology from these people in the movie.”
The people from Yuanyang City whispered among themselves.
“Look! They found Morpheus.” Morpheus was a tall bald guy wearing a black leather coat and sunglasses. He was the leader of the hackers and the person who had helped Neo. The audience felt that he might explain all the mysteries that they had witnessed.
“What the heck is going on?” Su Tianji watched in bafflement as the two people talked. “It looks like the world in Grand Theft Auto 5, but it’s much weirder.”
“I have the same feeling...” Dong Qingli said, “Each time when something happens, he would wake up in his bed, but the things he dreams about are real; even the electronic worm is...”
Nalan Hongwu said, “In my opinion, there’s a mastermind behind all this!”
An Huwei said with a nod, “It must be the so-called Matrix.”
They stood there and continued watching.
While they talked, Neo swallowed the red pill. Morpheus and others helped him attach all kinds of devices to his body, it seemed like the truth would come out in the next moment.
