Dominating Hollywood: Starting with Scarlett

Chapter 262 Lucy Awakens
Vincenzo sat on a chair in the cinema, next to a young couple.

"We've finally been waiting for this." Mirren held Judy's hand, unable to hide his excitement. They had been looking forward to this movie for a long time.

Now that she could finally feast her eyes, Mirren wanted to stick her eyes to the screen and appreciate it with her whole heart.

Vincenzo had the same idea, but he had no one to talk to, so he could only look at the screen with his fists clenched.

Because it was a 3D movie, the audience all wore black glasses.

Shortly after the Norton's Eye logo appeared, a meteorite suddenly shattered it, and the next second a large number of fragments rushed from the screen to the audience outside the screen.

"Ah!" An audience member screamed, being frightened.

Although the others didn't scream, they were still a little surprised.

"This feels the same as in Avatar. As expected, Tang De didn't lie." Vincenzo breathed a sigh of relief. As one of the beneficiaries of "Lucy", he had always been afraid that the movie would suffer a Waterloo.

Especially 3D movies, this gimmick sounds good, but when you actually watch it, you really get what you pay for.

The more expensive the better.

So after seeing these fragments flying towards him in their real form, Vincenzo immediately realized that the movie's promotion was not wrong. This was a 3D movie of the same level as "Avatar"!

After the brief visual impact disappeared, the movie title Lucy appeared on the black background in a very plain and simple way.

"Billions of years ago, we were given life."

“How do we use it?”

The scene begins with a female gorilla drinking water. It has human facial features and looks different from other gorillas.

The camera then travels through the jungle and pans all the way to the sky above Seoul.

A large number of fast clips flashed by, and people on the streets and in the shops turned on the speed, which instantly reflected the hurried life.

Then Lucy, who had short golden hair and was drinking a drink with her head tilted, was interrupted by her boyfriend.

"Lucy, this is a piece of cake."

It turned out that he wanted Lucy to help him deliver a safe suitcase, but Lucy did not agree.

The man was wearing a cowboy hat and his eyes were quite unique, more like mechanical prosthetic eyes, and they looked very trendy.

Seeing that Lucy disagreed, her boyfriend had no choice but to keep persuading her to accept the job and even praised Lucy by name.

"You know, I went to a museum one day, and guess what I saw there?"

"What?" Lucy looked confused.

"The first woman in the world was also named Lucy."

After he said this, the camera directly turned to the eyes of an orangutan, followed by a three-segment shot that pulled back to show that the orangutan was actually a collection of the museum. It looked particularly different in the orange-red museum.

"Is this the gorilla?" Vincenzo suddenly remembered the one in the opening credits. They were exactly the same, so it should be the right one.

However, Lucy in the movie still did not agree. Even though her boyfriend tempted her with money, she was not going to help her boyfriend deliver the box.

As a last resort, the boyfriend had to handcuff Lucy to the box together.

"How despicable." Lucy had no choice but to enter the hotel lobby and tell the front desk why she was there.

As the two were talking, clips of various animals flashed by.

Vincenzo noticed these scenes and muttered to himself, "They are all prey being chased."

"Lucy is the prey?" Mirren also made a similar guess.

After hearing each other's voices, they turned their heads and looked at each other, smiling at each other in tacit understanding.

But Lucy in the movie didn't realize this. She wanted the contact person to come down and take the box away, but only a few strong bodyguards arrived at the scene.

Then, as Lucy was looking at her boyfriend, a gunshot suddenly rang out.

"Bang!" The boyfriend's blood dyed the glass red, followed by broken glass and dense gunshots.

Another group of people rushed in and started fighting inside the hotel.

Those radiating glass were like sharp swords, attacking the audience's retina, making Vincenzo and others feel extremely excited.

At the same time, those burly men of various appearances also used the cybernetic bodies they carried with them to fight against the hostile elements and took Lucy upstairs.

"No! Please!"

Lucy's cries received no response. When she was brought into the room and waited for a moment, another person walked in from outside the room.

It was the villain Sully played by Rob Sully.

When he appeared, the audience gasped.

Because his eyes, face, arms and legs all had obvious signs of cyber modification, those sophisticated-looking cyber prostheses were like the coldest killing machines, with blood on the blades, approaching Scarlett with a heavy sense of oppression.

Vincenzo held his breath. Yes, this was the image of a villain in his mind. He couldn't feel this suffocating feeling just by looking at the poster.

Lucy had the same thought and was terrified.

Especially when Sally's knife was close to her neck, she was so frightened that even her breathing stopped.

Fortunately, Sally did not do anything to her, because on a computer not far away, Mr. Zhang, who was remotely controlling the system via a video call, spoke.

"Sally, be gentle with pretty girls."

"Yes." Sally's voice was also obviously mechanical and without any emotion.

Then they opened the safe and took out CPH4, which was a blue crystal wrapped in a transparent bag.

"It's so beautiful!" Mr. Zhang praised while drinking red wine: "I must say, this is indeed a masterpiece."

He did not specify what it was, but just ordered: "Since there is a mule delivered to your door, don't wait, let them send these things to New York, I want to see them as soon as possible."

"Ok."

Sally nodded in agreement, and then Lucy was rudely taken to the operating room and given anesthesia.

Then, the audience saw a cruel scene: Lucy's stomach was cut open and the doctor put CPH4 into her body.

It turns out that the so-called mules are people who use drugs to transport goods.

Of course, the audience did not see the bloodiest scene, because the next second, Professor Norman, played by Morgan Freeman, appeared on the screen.

"Now, let's discuss a special case."

"The only creature that's better at using its brain than we are."

"dolphin."

He stood on the podium and began his speech on the degree of brain development, accompanied by pictures of various animals.

After watching this speech, the audience had a clearer understanding of the so-called brain development.

On the other side, Lucy also woke up from her bed in the hotel.

But her current condition was very bad, because her belly was wrapped in a circle of white cloth, and there was a faint blood color. She was not stupid, and it was obvious what this meant.

She was then brought before Sally, along with several other mules. After Sally threatened them with a mechanical voice, she handed them tickets to New York and sent them all away with hoods on their heads.

"Ten percent." A subtitle suddenly appeared on the screen. Vincenzo felt that this should represent the degree of Lucy's brain development.

The scene cuts to Professor Norman again. He is still talking about the degree of development of the human brain, from inheritance to environment to reproduction, and finally cuts back to Lucy's eyes.

"You look good!" After her hood was taken off, she saw a fierce-looking Korean man looking at her.

The man tried to reach out and touch Lucy's breasts, but she pushed him away.

The man was so angry that he kicked Lucy to the ground and punched and kicked her.

"Damn Koreans!" Vincenzo cursed, very dissatisfied with his goddess being beaten.

After beating Lucy, the guards left the small prison, but Lucy felt her stomach churning, as if the bag of CPH4 had burst.

This caused her mind and body to gradually go crazy. She rolled back and forth in the prison, twitching, shaking, and the series of rotations were too much for the audience to watch.

"Twenty percent." After just a moment, Mirren saw the number again.

"So what happened?" Judy asked confusedly.

"It should be that the bag inside the body broke, and CPH4 exploded inside Lucy."

"and then?"

"Just look down and you'll find out."

Professor Norman was still giving his speech. Soon, when it was about to end, someone asked, "What would happen if someone used 100% of their brain power?"

Professor Norman was silent for a moment and said, "One hundred percent? Sorry, I don't know either."

The next moment, Lucy suddenly opened her eyes in the small prison.

Her pupils were exceptionally blue and eerie.

After waking up, she seemed to have lost her previous memory. She calmly picked up the chair and sat on it.

There was no pain in his expression, nor any fluctuation, as if he had lost all his emotions.

After a short wait, she looked towards the door of the small prison, and then someone actually opened the door.

It was another guard. He came to Lucy again with a lewd smile, obviously with bad intentions.

Unfortunately, the Lucy he was facing was no longer the same Lucy as before. After seducing the man over, Lucy directly clamped his arms with her legs.

Then she pulled out the belt from his waist and knocked him unconscious. At the same time, she swung the belt, wrapped it around the leg of the table, pulled it over, and took the pistol on it.

The moves were clean and neat, instantly allowing Vincenzo to vent his dissatisfaction.

But that's just the beginning.

Lucy walked out of the small prison and quickly came to the front desk of the detention center. When she found several guards eating, she quickly opened fire.

"Clap clap clap!"

After a few gunshots, all the guards were shot in the middle of their eyebrows and fell under the table.

"Awesome!" Vincenzo felt that this killing was so satisfying. Even the vicious guard just now was powerless to fight back in Lucy's hands.

After killing the people, Lucy sat on the table and picked up the unfinished food and ate it with relish. She ate quickly and neatly, and with a little impatience, as if she had been hungry for a long time.

After finishing her meal, she threatened the taxi driver with a gun and took herself to the hospital.

She walked along the hospital corridor into an operating room, shot the patient, and then said to the doctor: "You can't save him, so save me."

When Vincenzo saw this, he felt that Lucy had changed, as if after CPH4 was integrated into her body, her entire person had transformed from the inside out.

This feeling makes people feel a little uncomfortable.

But later, when Lucy was talking to her family on the phone while undergoing surgery, her red eyes made people aware of her delicate emotions hidden beneath her cold touch.

After hanging up the phone, Lucy said, "Time is running out."

"She seems to be fighting against the power inside her body," Judy expressed her opinion.

Miren nodded: "It's possible. This should be a side effect of CPH4."

After the operation, Lucy did not look at the map, but went straight back to the hotel and came to the door of the villain Sally.

At this moment, Sally is repairing his cybernetic body.

"Bang, bang, bang!" Gunshots rang out one after another. Sally became alert. He slowly stood up, and the cybernetic prostheses on his legs spewed out steam.

Then he saw Lucy.

Lucy, who had killed all his men.

"What a surprise..." Sally didn't feel too scared. Instead, he licked the corners of his mouth excitedly.

The two men immediately started fighting, and the whole process was extremely exciting. The glass, statues, and furniture in the room were shattered by Sally's blade prosthesis, and the fragments continued to impact the audience's vision.

Lucy's action scenes are equally exciting. She makes all kinds of incredible evasive moves under Sally's attacks, and she seems to have seen through Sally's cybernetic weaknesses. Every move she makes can remove and damage his cybernetic body.

The audience held their breath and enjoyed the stunning visual experience brought by the 3D effects.

But in the end, the duel between Lucy and Sally ended with Lucy winning. Although she was also injured, she still cut Sally into pieces, leaving only a weak body.

Lucy picked up Sally's dagger, inserted it into his hands, and pressed her fingers on his forehead. After a special effect of shuttling through blood vessels, she saw Sally's memory.

All the plane tickets, and where the mules were going.

Lucy didn't rush to find them. She was more concerned about what to do with her body.

Because after absorbing CPH4, she can feel the cells in her body continue to increase, which will accelerate her lifespan.

So she had to find a way to save her life.

Carrying the CPH4 she found from Sally, she went to her friend's house and used the computer to search for a way to save herself.

In the process, she discovered Professor Norman, and after reading his research, she called Professor Norman directly through the business card on the website.

"My name is Lucy, and I just read all the research you did on the human brain, and we need to meet."

"All my research?" At this time, Professor Norman, who was in the hotel, answered the phone and said with a smile: "I am flattered, Miss. But I find it hard to believe you. My works at least include..."

"Page 6734. I can recite it to you right now."

Professor Norman was stunned.

Then, the TV in front of him suddenly turned on, and a beautiful yet calm face appeared on it.

That was Lucy.
