I'm just trying to ride the wave of popularity!

Chapter 247 Crazy!

"I think I need to find out who did it!"

"As far as I know, the police have not yet arrested him."

"And I was once treated as a suspect..."

"..."

A suffocating, oppressive, and cruel atmosphere permeated the screening room.

Adam on screen is a bit crazy...

Dr. Gordon's pupils contracted in the darkness as if he were lost in memories.

……

In the screening room.

The camera then switched to the police investigation scene.

Viewers saw on screen that in a dimly lit, enclosed room, police lights illuminated the dense barbed wire fence leading to the exit.

Under the lights, in a close-up of the police lights, bits of flesh hung from the rusty wire mesh, with traces of blood from the struggle still visible at the edges…

Near the exit, hanging at the end was a fat, swollen, purple torso!

His body was covered in marks from various barbed wire piercings; his abdomen had been ripped open by barbed wire, and his intestines had been dragged out three meters, hanging in a pool of blood in a grotesque shape...

But his left hand reached out to an old-fashioned tape recorder two meters away, the tape still looping the whispers of the voice changer...

"Hello Paul..."

“You are a mentally and physically healthy middle-class person…”

"But last month he committed suicide with a razor..."

"Did you really want to die by cutting your wrists, or were you just trying to get attention?"

"Tonight, we'll wait and see..."

"Ironically, if you want to die, you can stay here, but if you want to live, you have to get through the barbed wire..."

"But you have to be quick. Around 3 o'clock, the door will be locked, and then this place will become your tomb. There's a timer on the door, and it will be open until 3 o'clock..."

"..."

Let's see!

"Let's see how much blood you're willing to shed to survive?"

The hissing sound of the tape continued.

"Now, look at the barbed wire fence in front of you..."

“Each wire is as sharp as a scalpel—they will cut through your fat, muscle, and even bone.”

"But don't worry, humans can survive even after losing 40% of their blood..."

After that sound!

Everyone in the screening room witnessed a scene that horrified them.

They saw the camera switch to Paul's perspective!
When I saw his swollen fingers grip the barbed wire, the barbs instantly pierced his palm.

Dark red blood droplets slid down the wire, creating an eerie reflection under the police lights.

As the countdown began on the screen, Paul's breathing grew increasingly rapid, echoing repeatedly in the ears of the audience!

The sound of panting made the audience's hearts race, a sense of tension and urgency welling up inside them...

They saw the camera switch to a close-up of the timer!

The flashing police lights in the darkness, like a death knell, accompanied the heartbeats, highlighting the oppressive and dark room, and stirring the emotions of the audience!

02:59:23——数字突然跳动成02:59:22！

Accompanied by a mechanical "click" sound.

The gate at the end of the barbed wire fence began to close slowly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The audience's emotions were on the edge of their seats at that moment...

On screen, Paul's panting was amplified.

He rammed into the barbed wire in a frenzy, and his abdomen was immediately ripped open with a 20-centimeter-long gash.

The moment the intestines slid out of the wound, they were entangled and pulled by barbed wire...

His eyes were fixed on the front, he roared desperately and struggled frantically, but he could not move forward even an inch!
"Bah!"

Right now!
The loud slam of the door slamming shut overlapped with the alarm of the timer resetting to zero!
In the screening room.

Ten minutes had already passed.

Sitting in the screening room, Pete stared at the darkness on the screen.

He could hear increasingly weak breathing.

And, the sound of liquid dripping onto the ground!

The visual impact of this movie is so intense, it's almost unbearable, making your scalp crawl and leaving you breathless...

The sound of the dripping water, in particular, sent a tremor through his very soul, making his hair stand on end!
Let's see! Let's see how much blood you'd bleed to survive!

A sentence suddenly popped into his mind.

Just then, that damned cold air suddenly blew up again, making him shiver involuntarily. He turned around abruptly and stared at Wilson.

Wilson, standing next to him, gave an awkward laugh: "It was too stuffy in here, so I had them turn it on... By the way, ten minutes have passed. What do you think of the movie?"

Pete took a deep breath and finally chose to ignore Wilson and continue watching the movie.

But then he looked at Wilson, somewhat incredulously: "Did that Chinese director really spend fifteen days filming this?"

"Yes."

Pete nodded subconsciously, turning his gaze back to the screen.

....................................

On the big screen.

The program continued playing another brutal case.

This time, the death replay was of a man named Mark... Mark was imprisoned in a dark basement with a huge pit in the center filled with thousands of sharp shards of glass coated with a transparent neurotoxin.

The toxin [can cause muscle paralysis and respiratory failure upon contact].

A metal device was around his neck, connected to a chain on the ceiling. Once time ran out or he gave up struggling, the chain would tighten and snap his neck.

And then that chilling voice rang out again.

"Hello, Mark, you live by lies and deception, and you profit from the suffering of others."

"Now, it's time to face the truth."

"Let's play a fun game!"

"There's a key hidden in the glass at the bottom of the pit; it can unlock the device around your neck. But the glass is poisoned; touching it will hasten your death. Choose—slowly suffocate, or take the risk?"

A series of sounds rang out...

Pitt stared intently at the screen.

He saw Mark on the screen initially refusing to jump into the glass pit, desperately pulling at the device around his neck, but the chains tightened more and more, making it increasingly difficult for him to breathe...

He saw Mark, unable to hold back any longer, finally jump into the pit. The shards of glass instantly cut his hands and feet, and blood seeped out, but he endured the pain and frantically searched for the key.

He saw the toxins rapidly enter the bloodstream through the wound, saw Mark's fingers begin to twitch, his vision blur, and his mouth drool uncontrollably.

He heard his breathing become rapid and weak (the neurotoxin paralyzed his respiratory muscles), and he knelt down in the pile of glass, still using trembling hands to pry open the shards.

Then, in one brutal scene after another.

Mark finally found the key, but the poison had already spread throughout his body.

Pete felt his heart leap into his throat as he watched "Mark" in the movie struggle to climb the wall, trying to unlock it with the key, only to fall back into the shards of glass due to muscle spasms.

then!

Pete's eyes widened in the screening room!

Countless viewers watched as the chains on the screen tightened completely, Mark's eyes bulged bloodshot, and he made a gurgling sound in his throat!

He eventually suffocated to death, his body half-buried in shards of glass, his blood staining the entire bottom of the pit red...

Next!

Screams erupted from the screening room!
Several people stood up, their faces showing some fear, but after hesitating for a moment, they gritted their teeth and sat back down in their chairs to continue watching the movie!

This film seems to be pushing the limits of human endurance with its suffocating atmosphere, yet strangely, it possesses an allure that compels viewers to continue watching...

Pete felt both a deep-seated fear and an indescribable thrill!
He seems to...

I saw a horror movie that was unlike any other!

........................

The movie continues.

The film uses a progressively unfolding approach to make the plot even more brutal!
Pitt noticed another actress who seemed somewhat dazed, as if she were mentally unstable. Under police questioning, the audience saw her fall into a reverie…

In her memory, she was kidnapped and locked in a dark room with a reverse bear trap over her head. She had to find the key to open the device within 60 seconds, or it would activate, tearing her jaw and skull apart. The key, however, was inside the stomach of another man who had been given anesthesia and remained fully conscious throughout the ordeal…

The familiar countdown sounded!

The film's tight pacing keeps the viewer on the edge of their seat.

This is a moral judgment that leaves one in despair.

Pete witnessed Amanda's breakdown and despair, and her face gradually contorting. He then cut her open with a knife, held her intestines, and fiddled with the key to the "jaw ripper" inside...

The rapid, mechanical voice, mixed with her panicked, collapsing, and desperate voice, repeatedly assaulted the hearts of all the audience members present.

Even Brad Pitt, who is very picky about movies, was glued to the screen at that moment!

He couldn't control his emotions and followed the movie...

As the movie played, he felt goosebumps and a chill run down his spine!
The air conditioning seemed to be blowing even colder, but Pete no longer cared!
at this moment!
"Congratulations, you're still alive!"

"Most people don't know how to be grateful while they're alive..."

"You won't."

On the screen.

Pete heard a creaking mechanical sound, and then saw a masked little man riding a bicycle ride up to Amanda and say those words.

Pete felt extremely uncomfortable seeing the little masked figure; he found it incredibly creepy.

He, who enjoys watching horror movies, soon realized what was causing his discomfort!

This is a psychological effect stemming from human instinct, known as the "uncanny valley."

"The more a doll resembles a human but is not human, the more creepy it becomes!"

At this moment, coupled with the eerie and terrifying scenes of flesh and blood, the "uncanny valley effect" was used to its fullest extent in "Saw".

but……

Upon closer examination, this film is more than just a gory movie that subverts basic human senses.

Pete thought of Amanda's brief backstory.

She was framed and imprisoned, where she became addicted to drugs and eventually drifted into a daze, giving up on herself and everything else.

"Most people don't know how to be grateful while they're alive..."

At that very moment, those words suddenly stirred a strange feeling deep within Pete's heart!

"Humans are truly contradictory creatures."

As Pitt watched Amanda's trembling hands on the screen, he suddenly realized that the cruelty of this film went far beyond its visual impact.

Behind those meticulously designed death games lies a more pointed question...

Only when life is on its last countdown do people truly examine every minute they have squandered.

At that moment, a brief sigh of relief rippled through the screening room.

Ironically, these viewers, who usually complain about how boring life is, and how many people in real life take healthy limbs and the freedom to breathe for granted, suddenly realize the preciousness of being alive when faced with a virtual threat of death.

Even more absurdly, he actually began to understand the voice behind the mask, and even felt that the movie had somehow become more profound?
He shook his head violently!
