I will never give in to Miss Death

"middle."
The girl in front of me took a ticket mischievously and said, "It seems like there aren't many people here."
"Well, just like the setting of the movie The Age of Aquarius, many industries are disappearing."
The reason why I want to watch "The Age of Aquarius" with Xiaomo tonight is mainly because this is the only movie today that fits the atmosphere I expected.
The movie "The Age of Aquarius" is categorized as "Yuri", "Future Technology", and "Love".
In addition to this movie, there are actually quite a few "blockbuster movies" today, including ordinary campus romances, police and gangster films, and superpower fighting films like "Pacific Rim", "Transformers" and "Avengers".
But I feel like none of these movies are suitable for Xiaomo.
First of all, Yin Xiamo has lived in a different world for thousands of years, so she would definitely not be used to campus romance on Earth. This should be a kind of... cultural difference. Even if Xiaomo doesn't care, as her lover, I shouldn't ask her to adapt to the culture and habits here when we watch a movie together for the first time. And Xiaomo probably won't be too used to watching gangster movies. Police and gangster movies and fighting movies are all about tension. The police are caught, the undercover is discovered, and the protagonist is about to be killed. These will create a tense atmosphere, which is also the essence of this type of movie. But the "tension" in these scenes should not be created for Xiaomo. Not only is her original form a god, she can also use magic. After getting used to being "invincible to others", it is difficult for her to put herself into the protagonist's mortal perspective. Swords, guns, etc. are just toys in Xiaomo's eyes that can't cause any harm to her at all, so Xiaomo must have no experience when watching this type of movie.
Similarly, superpower movies like "Avengers" are not very suitable for Xiaomo. She herself is a "superpower person". If there is any "magic" that is different from the setting of the other world in the movie, Xiaomo will probably feel awkward, just like asking a great god who specializes in a certain field to watch folk science.
Then the remaining options are things Xiaomo doesn’t understand at all… “science fiction” and “future humans”.
For example, the background setting of "The Age of Aquarius" is something that even I cannot understand, because it is really too advanced.
I remember that this movie was released in April and was extremely popular in May. However, I was busy looking for a job during that time. In May, Xiaomo turned me into a girl and started a new life. I had no time to care about movies, so I only have a vague idea about this movie.
All I know is that its setting is very avant-garde, and it's a rare yuri or "transformed yuri" setting, or it can be considered "pseudo-yuri, true yuri", because I saw someone on the Internet say that the protagonist was originally a female, and the "gender change" can only be regarded as a plot arrangement. However, the only thing I can be sure of is that the two girls did get together in the ending of this movie, so I feel it would be a good idea to watch it with Xiaomo while the popularity of the movie is at the end.
"A bucket of popcorn and two large Cokes."
After getting the tickets from the ticket machine at the entrance of the cinema, I took Yin Xiamo to the service desk and said to the waitress who was playing with her mobile phone in front.
Huhu...I still feel that places like this are more friendly.
I looked around the somewhat deserted cinema and relaxed my tense heart.
Although the entertainment city near Beiyang District and Canjing District was decorated very luxuriously and the security guards did not do anything out of the ordinary, I always felt... something was not right when I was in such a place.
This kind of popular cinema and street is more suitable for me.
"Okay, do you want a big bucket of popcorn?"
There was only one waitress behind the service counter at that time. She looked to be in her twenties and had just graduated from college. When she heard my voice, she immediately put down her phone and turned to fill the large glass bucket with popcorn.
"Yeah, a big bucket."
I said from behind: "I want a big Coke too."
If I hadn't dubbed the role of "Melon Girl" in Yae Melon Bag and editor Catmint sent me a "dubbing tip", I would really not have much money on me now.
But it doesn’t matter. Tomorrow is the “payday” of the coffee shop, and I can get more than 10,000 yuan in salary. In addition, in about half a week, around October, it will be the “manuscript payment day” of Miguabao Novel Network. My 2 million word novel will be completed, and there will be a completion award, as well as an attendance and subscription award. By then, I can be called “financially free”.
In other words, I am now "financially free", with no debt or loans, and can buy whatever I want to eat. At least I am not living as miserably as before.
"Big bucket of popcorn, with two cups of dako."
After a while, the lady at the service desk packed the things I wanted, walked to the cashier counter, and pointed to the payment code on the side: "A cup of Coke is 15, popcorn is 25, a total of 55 yuan."
Wow, it’s almost more expensive than a movie ticket.
Although I was mentally prepared for the "consumption" in the cinema, I was still a little surprised when I heard the offer.
I took out my phone and carefully glanced at the price list not far away.
A small Coke is 10 yuan, a large Coke is 15 yuan, a small popcorn is 10 yuan, a medium popcorn is 20 yuan, and a large popcorn is 25 yuan. In addition, there are also grilled sausages, chicken nuggets, potato chips and other foods.
If I remember correctly, most movie theaters don't actually make much money from "tickets". The main revenue here comes from food, which is cola and snacks that cost dozens of dollars.
But having said that, this "big popcorn" is really big, a huge bucket.
I used my phone to tap the payment machine next to me, and took the initiative to pick up the bucket that looked much bigger than myself.
Well……
It's really inconvenient for a small person. Others can hold this kind of popcorn with just one hand, but I need two hands.
And I can't even hold the bucket completely with both hands.
Luckily, this thing is popcorn and not very heavy. Otherwise, if it were another snack, I might not be able to hold it...
Seeing that I was holding the bucket of popcorn and could barely see the road ahead, Yin Xiamo beside me picked up the two cups of Coke with a bit of amusement: "Your stomach is so small, why did you buy so much?"
"This is our first time watching a movie, so we'd rather buy more."
I motioned for Yin Xiamo to go ahead: “You have to finish eating in a while.”
"Okay, okay, it's Nuoer's first date, I will treat it well."
As she spoke, Yin Xiamo looked at the popcorn in my arms with some curiosity: "What are these? They smell like corn and sugar."
"It's a little snack made with special corn in a special way to make it puffy like this, and then add a little sugar."
I was puzzled and asked, "Xiaomo, you haven't even eaten this before?"
"No."
Yin Xiamo shook her head: "I... rarely pay attention to this."
I laughed and said, "Just now Xiaomo was seriously introducing the Zhao family and the situation in Shenbin City, but the real Xiaomo doesn't even know popcorn."
"It's not necessary to know popcorn!"
Yin Xiamo snorted somewhat arrogantly: "Where are we going?"
I gestured to the empty entrance ahead. “Over there, the movie is on the right, Court 2.”
In fact, I know everything.
Just like she had never eaten sweet and sour pork ribs before, Xiaomo was also unfamiliar with "popcorn" at this time.
But she could actually understand.
As a god, Xiaomo could easily help Filo learn the language of this world in just two or three days. Then she could definitely take the initiative to learn all kinds of "common sense" and finally become an omniscient "Miss Death".
But doing so may not be a good thing for me.
If Xiaomo really did that, and turned herself into an all-knowing and all-powerful beautiful girl and came to "date" me, the only result would be that my world would become stagnant, and I would not regard Xiaomo as a "true friend" with whom I could confide.
I will only regard Xiaomo as a god who is very, very far away from me.
A sense of distance. Yes, a sense of distance.
When I was making sweet and sour spare ribs for Xiaomo, she came over with a curious look on her face and asked what it was and whether it tasted good. I would feel very proud and think that I had helped Xiaomo. I would also feel that there was almost no distance between Xiaomo and me, because even "Yin Xiamo", who is as strong as the god of death, has many things she can't do. She also makes mistakes in life and is careless. The most important thing is... Xiaomo "needs" me.
I don’t know whether my reasoning is correct or not. At least until now, Yin Xiamo, the incarnation of “Momo the God of Death”, has always given me a very real feeling and made me feel a sense of happiness like a “family”. If this “Yin Xiamo” can do everything, then I will probably lose a lot of things, such as the desire for life.
Then I guess I will really just live as a "puppet in the hands of the god of death."
The omniscient Xiaomo came into my life. When she saw me making sweet and sour spare ribs, she didn't ask curiously what it was. Instead, she watched me finish it with a calm face. Then she showed off her skills and made ribs that were more perfect and better than mine.
The omniscient Xiaomo used her own means to get the most powerful computer on the market. When she saw my old computer, she silently helped me replace it with the latest accessories, and then taught me step by step how to use this high-tech product.
The all-knowing Xiaomo didn't show any surprise when she saw the popcorn. She just said calmly that this thing has a high calorie content, but Nuoer, your body is special and you can eat it without worry...
Just thinking about Xiaomo like this makes me feel very boring, as if I have lost all expectations for my future life.
Maybe this is the reason why Xiaomo has deposited most of her knowledge and abilities into her "original body". After all, only in this way can the clone "Yin Xiamo" be a real "person", a partner who can hold hands with me and play and joke with me every day.
However, Xiaomo did not put all of her abilities into her main body. For example, she kept her ability to deal with crises. For example, after someone came to mess things up today, Xiaomo immediately checked the information of all the people behind those big men and made corresponding counterattacks.
"Why are you suddenly silent?"
Walking in the aisle of the cinema, perhaps my sudden silence made the girl in front of me curious, Xiaomo turned around and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely finish this popcorn in a while."
"Ah... not this."
I quickly explained: "I was just wondering if Xiaomo has done a lot of things for me behind my back in the past few years..."
"The young author likes to daydream."
The girl in front smiled and said, "So what if it is true? With Noer's current ability, he can't find out. He can only be eaten by me."
I said dissatisfiedly: "It's still uncertain who will eat whom!"
"Oh? Is our lovely water magician planning to show off her skills again?"
"I'm not a water magician!"
"..."
Joking with each other, Yin Xiamo and I came to the entrance of the movie "The Age of Aquarius", got 3D glasses from the security guard at the door, and entered.
Then we discovered...the entire cinema was empty.
Xiaomo and I...booked the entire place.
"..."
……
[Thank you, Qizhijun, for the Yan Emperor =3= ah... or rather, it's Nuwa, there are already five Yan Emperors/w Sorry that today's update is a little late, there will be another one later]
No. 239 The Aquarius Era does not believe in tears
I sat in the best seat in the cinema with Yin Xiamo for about seven or eight minutes, but still no one came in.
The entire cinema was empty, with only the rustling sound of me chewing popcorn in a big bucket.
"Noer, you really look like a hamster."
The girl on the side tried to grab a handful of popcorn and held out her hand to me: "Open your mouth."
I subconsciously opened my mouth: "Ah——"
"Well!"
Then, Xiaomo stuffed a lot of popcorn into my mouth, making my cheeks bulge.
“Woo woo…Crack, crack…Xiaomo you…”
It took me a while to chew the popcorn and eat it. I took a sip of Coke and said, "What are you doing?"
"Oh? What do you want to do?"
Yin Xiamo showed a wicked expression, stretched out her white and tender little hand, opened it, and faced my palm, shaking her middle finger up and down: "Okay, right here?"
"I'm asking you what you're doing! Not that...that..."
I felt my face getting hot: "You are getting more and more lewd!"
"Because Nuo'er is so cute, I can't help but want to bully her."
The girl next to me smiled, and when she saw that I had just finished a sip of Coke, she very naturally reached out and took my Coke and took a deep sip.
"You obviously have..."
Before I could finish my words, Yin Xiamo interrupted me. She took her cup of Coke and put it in my arms: "Let's drink it in turn."
"Old and dishonest."
I took the Coke depressedly and glanced at the entrance of the movie: "Why is there still no one there? Is the theater really reserved?"
In fact, this situation was within my expectations.
Originally, Minaminagi District is a relatively remote area with few people around. Even if there are people, they are just some elderly people and children. Young people either go to the city to study or work elsewhere, and the cinema's main target audience is young people.
Secondly, the popularity of the movie "The Age of Aquarius" has basically passed. By this month, those who have not seen it have already watched it online, and no one is willing to buy tickets to watch it in the cinema.
In addition, the economy has been in recession in recent years and the entire society has low desires, so naturally no one is willing to engage in this kind of retro entertainment activity.
Finally... today is neither a holiday nor a rest day, so naturally there are few people coming to the cinema.
Taking all these factors into consideration, it is normal that few people came to Minami-nagi District to watch "Age of Aquarius" at this time. I just didn't expect it to be so few that there were only Xiaomo and I.
"First of all, I didn't do this."
Yin Xiamo, who was standing next to her, said while biting a Coke straw, “There are so few people around here.”
"I know."
I nodded. “I was just surprised that there were so few people coming out to see a movie for the first time.”
Unless she can predict the future or travel through time, Xiaomo really has no way of knowing in advance which movie ticket I bought and then "clearing the theater", and there is no need for that.
I vaguely remember that the last time I went out to see a movie was in college. At that time, there was a boy in our dormitory who was the type who "cares too much about face". He would chase girls every day and would rather buy girls 20 yuan milk tea and thousands of yuan bags. He would save money to give her a new mobile phone on Valentine's Day and other holidays, and then eat instant noodles and pickles every day.
At that time, whenever he was in a relationship, everyone in the dormitory knew that they had to hide their snacks that month, otherwise he would definitely spend them all - this guy would spend money like crazy when chasing girls, and then when he had no food to eat, he would eat his roommates' food.
