I've Transmigrated Into This Movie Before

Chapter 158

158: A Boundary that cannot be Crossed

"Haha, isn't it here now?" The village chief broke free from the hands of his two sons, limping as he ran a few steps forward. His snow white hair was scattered in the wind, the corners of his mouth cracked outwards. He abruptly turned towards the crowd, his right hand pointing to the front as he madly roared, "This is what you all wanted! This is 'Life Opera House'!"

After a moment of silence, one leg moved, followed by another, followed further by a rumble of footsteps.

"Don't block the way!" The grand lottery winner who was running at the front waved his hand around.

Ning Ning and Ning Yu Ren frantically got out of the way. They were forced to the corner of the stage by the crowd that was on the fringe of madness, holding each other up as they watched the crowd run one by one towards the theater that was sited in the deep parts of the fog. With a creak, the sound of an opening door rang out, like a hungry beast opening its mouth.

The figures disappeared into that mouth one by one.

"Quickly, quickly." The village chief was directing people at the entrance, he waved one of his hands with all his might, so excited that his face turned red. "All of you, go in! All of you, get in! You will know who to believe once you are inside, go in! There is wealth and power in there, as long as one family member enters, their descendants can all have endless benefits! Hold on...hold on!"

He reached out to block his younger son, he asked with an astonished and frantic expression, "What are you going in there for?"

His younger son was flushed, he was a little embarrassed. He glanced at the movie theater, then at the village chief, smiling in an attempt to please his father. "Dad, let me go in, no one in our family has gone in before... Let me go in, I'll make you and Big Brother rich, alright?"

The village chief was about to say something when another figure rushed past him.

It was his elder son.

"Stop, come back!" The village chief frantically tried to pull him back, but he failed. His elder son disappeared into the fog, his younger son whom he had been holding back then took this chance to get out of his grasp and ran into the fog.

The situation had spiralled out of control.

Not only the outsiders, with the two of them leading the way, the villagers also rushed in.

The chance to change the fate of a person, a family, how many people could resist a temptation like that?

...Everyone remembered the benefits the movie theater could give them, but they didn't remember the kind of price they had to pay...

"Come back! Quickly come back! You can't go in there!" The village chief shouted alone at the entrance.

His voice carried into the fog, what answered him was a loud sound—the entrance had closed down.

"Ah...ah..." The village chief legs gave out and he knelt down on the ground, clawing his face with both his hands, picking and pulling at the wrinkles on his forehead and murmuring, "What have I done..."

Clop, clop, clop...

He turned his head and looked at the person that was standing beside him. He slowly looked up and mumbled, "Ning Qing..."
