The lady at the ticket office looked at the couple and smiled mysteriously, "The show will start in five minutes, in Theater 3. If you want popcorn and drinks, you can go to the counter over there and buy them."
"Thank you."
Kira Yoshikage took the change and ticket, but did not buy popcorn or drinks.
It’s not because it’s expensive, but mainly because he doesn’t think it’s worth eating popcorn while watching this kind of movie.
Perhaps the ticket seller did it on purpose; their seats were in the corner of the back row of the screening room, making it convenient for them to do things that are difficult to describe.
Shimazaki Yuna's face flushed, obviously realizing the same thing.
Although her eyes were shy, she might have been secretly grateful for the help from the ticket seller.
And it was just as she had expected.
There were hardly any people in the cinema. Apart from them, there were only six other audience members, four men and two women.
Three men and two women were sitting in the same row, with two girls sandwiched in the middle. They obviously knew each other.
"That guy actually had 50,000 yen on him. He's just a junior high school student. Hahahaha, I confiscated it all!"
"Hey~ That's too much. Can't you leave him some money for the subway?"
"Hahaha, Yi, you are still so kind."
"Nishimura, then it's your treat today."
"Huh? You must be kidding. It has to be shared equally!"
From the moment they entered the screening room, they had been talking loudly as if no one was around. The boys deliberately raised their voices to show how great they were. Their hands were not idle either, touching the girls all over, and the two girls also deliberately cooperated with their exaggerated laughter.
The boy sitting in the row behind them was alone. He was originally watching a movie quietly, but now he was frowning because of their noise.
For some reason, the three boys were touching the girl sitting next to them, whispering to each other and looking back towards the corner.
Because the movie had already started, even though it was very noisy, Shimazaki Yuna didn't want to disturb others, so she spoke in a low voice:
"Don't you like horror movies, Kira-kun?"
Even though the movie had just begun, she could see Kira Yoshikage's obvious lack of interest.
Even, there is a certain impulse——
The best proof was that he held her hand with a little force.
Kira Yoshikage turned his gaze away from the noisy three people, looked at the girl beside him, and asked softly:
"Yuna, do you know anything about benign self-abuse?"
The girl shook her head slightly.
“Benign masochism is doing something that is physically threatening but mentally enjoyable.
“Watching horror movies, bungee jumping, and roller coasters are essentially benign self-abuse. When doing these things, the brain senses danger and secretes endorphins to relieve pain. The amygdala sends information to the hypothalamus, and then adrenaline surges, causing the heart rate to speed up, breathing to speed up, and palms to sweat.
"But in reality, you are not in danger. The horrific things like killers, zombies, monsters, etc. in horror movies will not really walk out of the screen, and bungee jumping and roller coasters will not really kill you.
"Because there is no substantial threat, the body will feel threatened, but will also realize that it has been 'cheated'. Therefore, the endorphins and adrenaline secreted by the body will be transformed into pure 'pleasure', thus giving people spiritual pleasure."
Kirara Yoshikage explained in detail, but Shimazaki Yuna looked confused, so he had to continue explaining:
"The pursuit of benign self-abuse does not mean anything. Watching horror movies does not mean that people want to become murderers, and bungee jumping does not mean that people want to commit suicide. However, the essence of these behaviors is to seek excitement.
"The fundamental reason for seeking excitement is that they are bored with their dull lives."
Shimazaki Yuna finally understood and asked softly:
"Since Kira-kun longs for a peaceful life, doesn't he need to seek excitement by watching horror movies?"
"Do not."
Kirara Yoshikage shook his head slightly, facing the girl's puzzled gaze, his tone remained calm, so calm that it was chilling:
"I don't watch horror movies because people's 'threshold' will continue to rise."
“When children are young, their parents can give them 1000 yen pocket money to make them happy for a long time. But when they grow up, they will start to desire cars and houses, and want to become rich and superior, because 1000 yen can no longer satisfy them.
"When watching horror movies, some people will close their eyes in fear when they first see the scary scenes, and will feel sick when they see the bloody scenes. But once they get used to this kind of horror, they will flock to horror movies and pursue those increasingly bizarre and bloody scenes, and those ordinary horror movies can no longer satisfy them at all.
"If one day even horror movies can no longer satisfy their desires and can no longer trigger the 'threshold' that makes them feel excited, what do you think they will do?"
Shimazaki Yuna opened her lips but didn't answer, but her slightly trembling body showed that she already knew the answer -
If movies can't satisfy them, they may start seeking excitement in real life.
This is not just empty talk, but there are many real examples in the beautiful country across the ocean!
For example, there are at least a dozen cases of "Natural Born Killers" that are believed to be copycat crimes inspired by this movie.
For example, a 14-year-old boy chopped off the head of a 13-year-old girl, saying he just wanted to be famous like a natural born killer.
Another example is the famous Columbine school shooting, where two murderers were "inspired" by this movie and shot and killed 13 people, injured 24 people, and then committed suicide.
For example, a man named Little John decided to assassinate the President of the United States after watching Taxi Driver...
Although these are only the most extreme examples, most people will not develop into such perversions because, in most cases, moral and legal constraints can help them not be devoured by their inner dark desires.
But even so, there are still many similar examples.
For example, some people will commit domestic violence when they are drunk. Men will beat their wives and women will beat their children.
Another example is perverts. Some of them are not born perverts. Perhaps they just join the ranks of perverts because of the "excitement" of seeing others acting like perverts and they are unwilling to be just spectators.
Isn't this also an atrocity caused by the failure to meet the 'threshold'?
Shimazaki Yuna raised her head and looked at the boy's face hidden in the darkness, her body trembling slightly.
"Are you scared?"
Kira Yoshikage looked down at the girl and asked softly.
"Do not."
Shimazaki Yuna's voice trembled slightly, and he shook his head slowly and firmly.
The girl reached out and touched Kira Yoshikage's cheek. Her palms trembled slightly, but not because of fear, but because of heartache.
Some people, not satisfied with the thrills of horror movies, decide to become real-life serial killers.
What about Kira-kun?
Killing people is probably not something that is difficult for Kira-kun to accept.
But he still tried hard to restrain himself.
Use a 'peaceful daily routine' to restrain yourself so that you don't go on a killing spree in pursuit of the threshold of excitement.
So he killed those who deserved to be killed.
Like a pervert on the train.
Even if such people are caught, they will be released after being detained for a few days at most.
Killing him might be a bit extreme, but sometimes there's nothing wrong with being a little extreme, right?
Isn't killing him also to maintain the peace that Kira-kun wants?
It was just a matter of killing some scum. Isn't this a sign that Kira-kun is still trying to restrain himself?
The girl gently stroked Kira Yoshikage's face, and her trembling voice gradually became firm:
"Kira-kun, please believe me, no matter what happens, I will always stand by you!"
Chapter 120 Do you believe in gravity?
Kirara Yoshikage grabbed the girl's hand and sighed helplessly:
"Don't talk like I'm going against the world."
He never intended to be the enemy of the world.
This is unwise. What good will the destruction of the world do him?
The most you can do is kill all the people you dislike.
At least those with pretty little hands can still survive.
"Hey Hey hey!"
The movie theater was filled with the noisy voices of men. "You two guys are making so much noise in the movie theater without paying any attention to others. Is this what your parents taught you? You have no manners!"
His two companions also stood up and stared at the two people in the back corner with threatening expressions.
The two girls had no intention of dissuading them, but instead looked like they were enjoying the show.
"Yeah, right..."
Shimazaki Yuna panicked and wanted to apologize, but was stopped by Kira Yoshikage.
"No need to apologize."
Kira Yoshikage spoke calmly, but his eyes were extremely cold.
There are always some people who don't know how to read the atmosphere, and there are always some people who are looking for trouble.
Of course, there shouldn't be loud noises in a cinema, as this goes against the tranquility he craves.
So they just sat in the corner and talked quietly, completely covered by the sound of the movie projection. These people couldn't hear what they were talking about, but they kept looking back and found that they were acting intimately, deliberately picking quarrels because they were unhappy.
So say it.
He had been trying to suppress his desire to kill from the very beginning, and Shimazaki Yuna even went out of her way to change the subject for them.
But some people just don’t know what it means to cherish.
"Sayama, don't do this."
The boy who had been sitting quietly behind them stood up and mustered up the courage to stop them, "They are not students of the school..."
boom!
Before he could finish his words, the tall man punched him hard in the face and sneered:
"Huh? You mean we only bully students?"
"Hey, Yoshino, you actually have the guts to resist us, who gave you the courage?"
The boy called Yoshino fell on the seat, feeling dizzy and unable to hear clearly.
"Yeah, yeah, yeah."
Kirara Yoshikage sighed, but before he stood up, Shimazaki Yuna pulled him back and whispered:
"Kira-kun, there are cameras here."
Kira Yoshikage raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this and took out his cell phone from his pocket.
"Camera?"
The three of them looked at each other, thinking that he was threatening them. Sayama couldn't help but burst into laughter, "Hahaha! Do you think we would care about such a small matter? Kid, you are not going to call the police, are you? We are minors, and we will be released soon even if we call the police!"
"Besides, there are no cameras in the screening room!"
"This is hilarious. Do you think you're a delinquent just because you dye your hair yellow? We can spot a 'good student' like you at a glance!"
"Hey, Sayama."
The boy with a wretched appearance and a slightly shorter stature looked at the girl with long purple-black hair with a lustful expression, "That girl is quite pretty..."
"Eh!"
The girl sitting next to them finally became dissatisfied and said angrily, "Are you as pretty as me?"
"Tsubasa, don't worry, we're just having fun."
"Yeah, yeah, that guy is not as pretty as you."
"It's really beautiful."
佐山舔了下嘴唇,一脸淫笑,“你也不想你男朋友被我们揍得满地找牙吧?只要你好好在这里服侍我们,只要我们高兴,说不定可以……”
BOOM!
Silently, Sayama disappeared without a trace.
what?
The two boys next to him were stunned for a moment, as if they couldn't understand why Sayama suddenly disappeared.
