Due to their extremely improper movie-watching behavior, the two of them had emptied all ten wet wipes from the small pack that the cinema gave them. They then repeatedly checked to confirm that there wasn't anything on their clothes. After wiping their hands clean, the two found that this horror movie - in which screaming seemed to be playing throughout the entire film - was now completely beyond their understanding.

"Why is this woman..." Gu Fei questioned in a whisper as he grabbed a small plastic bag and shoved all the messy tissues inside, "Ai, is this still the woman from before?"

"... Which woman?" Jiang Cheng asked.

"That... how many women are there?" Gu Fei peered at the screen.

"Around three ba. This one should be the orphan that person from before talked about." Jiang Cheng guessed from his assumptions.

"Which person said she was an orphan?" Gu Fei asked.

"... How about you just play that retarded Craz3 Match game ba?" Jiang Cheng glanced at him, "We're sitting in the back, so it won't bother anybody else."

Gu Fei started to snicker: "What do you have against me? Oh, so you can understand it?"

"Nope." Jiang Cheng replied, "But as you can see, I didn't plan on asking you about it."

Gu Fei snickered as he took a gulp of his beverage: "Are there really infrared surveillance cameras?"

"This, I'm really not sure about." Jiang Cheng examined the surrounding walls before responding in an extremely quiet tone, "I once saw a post on Tianya Club[1] where one after another, people had confessed what shameful things they did when watching the movies. But then suddenly somebody appeared and responded with, 'As a projectionist, let me tell you all that whatever it is that you guys do, we can see it all in the monitoring room. Our surveillance cameras are all infrared...' and I feel like those words have left, not only the people in that thread... but also myself, a very deep psychological impression."

"It does make sense." Gu Fei leaned over to his ear and whispered, "See, it's so dark. If they used normal security cameras, they wouldn't be able to capture anything."

"Sit down properly." Jiang Cheng was sitting up straight.

"Alrighty~" Gu Fei also sat upright.

They proceeded to watch the movie where at some point, it was unknown to both of them where they were in the plotline.

And they unexpectedly remained that way all the way until it ended.

When the lights in the screening room turned on, Jiang Cheng hastily looked down to once again check whether the two of them still had any unsightly residues left on their bodies. He then inspected the ground to see if there were any tissues they neglected, and only then did he finally stand up.

He didn't know why, but when he saw the young couples that walked out in pairs with their arms wrapped around each other, Jiang Cheng felt like he had the four words 'I'm not satisfied yet'[2] written all over his face.

Those who are of a guilty conscience would see everybody to be the same as them. By the Jade Emperor.

"Check the back of my pants." Jiang Cheng, a little ill at ease, turned to face his back towards Gu Fei, "Are there any traces?"
