Chapter 200 Source Code in Progress
Just as everyone was still in shock, and the afterglow of the special effects had not yet dissipated, the image on the big screen suddenly flashed.
The camera has now switched to the interior of the train carriage.
A crackling sound of electricity came from the background: "This is the Yanjing Command Center. Please respond..."
The male lead, Huang Xiaoming, leaned against the car window, suddenly opened his eyes, and looked completely bewildered.
When the male protagonist came to his senses...
"Xiao Yang, are you alright? Are you feeling unwell?" Chen Xi, played by Tang Yan, handed him a tissue with concern.
The male protagonist frowned, his eyes filled with wariness: "Xiao Yang? My name isn't Xiao Yang. I'm Shen Zhe, from the peacekeeping force..."
Upon hearing this, not only was Chen Xi in the play dumbfounded, but the audience in the theater also had question marks above their heads.
What's going on? Didn't the trailer say it was an infinite loop?
Since it's a cycle, aren't they all things I've personally experienced?
Why does it include amnesia and name change?
After conducting a preliminary investigation, the male protagonist returned to his seat and turned to look out the car window.
In the brief reflection of the glass, a completely unfamiliar face appeared.
The camera only flashed by so quickly that many viewers didn't even have time to see who the face was.
"You...see it?" The male protagonist pointed to the window.
Chen Xi looked completely bewildered: "What did you see? But you do look a bit scary right now."
The male protagonist felt extremely uncomfortable and immediately got up and stumbled towards the bathroom.
Throughout the journey, the photographer used a highly imposing handheld camera, making the audience feel uneasy.
When he rushed into the bathroom, he braced his hands on the sink and looked up sharply at the mirror above.
"Holy shit!" someone cursed from below.
The image reflected in the mirror wasn't Huang Xiaoming's ruggedly handsome face at all, but rather a bespectacled, seemingly refined stranger!
"No no no no..." Shen Zhe, played by Xiaoming, panicked completely and hurriedly reached into his pocket, pulling out a work ID.
A close-up shot of the ID: Xiao Yang.
The photo was also of the strange man in the mirror.
"Holy crap, what the hell? Soul transmigration?"
"Director Gu's move is a bit mind-bending..."
The plot won't stop and wait for the audience to slowly piece it together.
In the scene, Chen Xi, thinking something had happened to him, chased after him to the bathroom door and softly comforted him, "It's okay, everything will be alright..."
The voice just fell.
"boom!!"
A deafening explosion suddenly erupted throughout the entire IMAX theater!
The enormous fireball instantly engulfed the entire carriage, and the train was overturned by the huge blast wave, twisting and tearing on the tracks.
After a brief black screen and flashback, the protagonist suddenly wakes up in a dark space capsule, gasping for breath.
The screen lights up, and Li Ran, the military liaison played by Liu Qianqian, appears on screen.
This time, Sisi isn't some fairy-like beauty; she's dressed in a crisp military uniform, with a cool and aloof gaze, looking incredibly dashing.
Standing behind her was Dr. Yang Qi, played by the late Mr. Li Xuejian.
Through this brief exchange between the three, the worldview and mission objectives were finally revealed.
The protagonist must go back to 8 minutes before the train explodes, and only those 8 minutes!
The mission is to find the bomber hiding among the passengers in the loop!
Now, the audience's "Ren and Du meridians" have been completely opened.
"I'm good at finding murderers, and we've identified four suspects so far."
"Wow, besides Xiaoming and Tang Yan who appeared on the train, there are only 5 actors in total."
"Damn, they're all villains, this sounds familiar."
"Indeed, is it going to be another deserted area?"
Sitting in the front row, Gu Heng listened to the faint discussions behind him with a mischievous grin.
The best is yet to come.
On the big screen, Huang Xiaoming's ordeal officially begins.
He began a cycle of despair upon despair.
Searching for the bomb, searching for the killer, and getting blown away.
He got into a fight with a passenger and was mistaken for a mental patient...
With each cycle, the backstories and personalities of the passengers on the train were gradually developed.
The truth behind the source code was also revealed by Dr. Yang Qi.
This is not time travel, but a virtual space constructed using the remaining memories in the victim Xiao Yang's brain.
At this point in the movie, hardcore sci-fi fans, who value rigorous logic, began to realize that something was amiss.
"That's not right!"
A male audience member in the back row muttered in a low voice, "If it's just Xiao Yang's memories, how did the system simulate what he didn't see or hear? The background information for each character is way too detailed!"
"And another thing, did you notice? Xiaoming's recording looped a few times later on, and it was obvious that the time had exceeded 8 minutes!"
Once the seed of doubt was planted, the audience's curiosity was like being scratched by a cat, their eyes glued to the screen, afraid of missing any twist or reversal.
