Chapter 210

The day before Escapes release.

The internet was buzzing about Escape all day long.

[Escape Forum]

-Why didnt they have a preview screening?

-Are you still going to watch it?

-I think theres something fishy about it.

-But the reporters who are supposed to write articles havent seen the movie either lol. They have no clue.

-Thats why the entertainment reporters went to the theater lol.

-How did they get the tickets?

-There were some bad seats left. I think they got those.

-Well, they dont need to watch the movie well to write articles.

-I want to see spoilers before I watch the movie. I made a pre-Escape (spoiler) board. Write spoilers there.

The next day.

The theater was crowded from the morning.

You made it.

Vacation day!

Imiyeons words made Park Seongahs eyes sparkle.

Park Seongah, who was a salaried worker, had used her precious vacation day to watch the movie today.

I got tickets for the first day. I couldnt miss it!

Lets get the posters first. I already printed the tickets.

They grabbed the posters that were generously prepared, and gave up on popcorn and drinks since it was Lee Seo-juns movie. It was a zombie movie, after all.

They still had about ten minutes until the movie started, so Imiyeon and Park Seongah sat on their seats and watched the excited people around them.

It was fun and amazing to feel that they were going to watch a movie that no one had seen before, and that no one in the world knew about unless they were insiders.

Its nice to be here on the first day.

We dont have to worry about getting spoiled since there was no preview screening.

Once this movie was over, there would be [spoiler alert] posts everywhere, and the story would spread.

Most people will keep quiet, but it will still leak somewhere.

Thats why its better to be here on the first day.

As they waited for a while, it was time for the movie.

Screen 8! Those who are going to watch Escape, please enter screen 8!

With the staffs guidance, many people who came to the theater headed to screen 8 at once. Imiyeon and Park Seongah also headed to screen 8 with excited hearts.

They sat on their seats written on their tickets, turned off their phones, and leaned back on their chairs. They tried to calm their pounding hearts and watched the ads that filled the screen.

The ads ended and an evacuation guide video played.

They would have ignored the guide video if it was in the past, but those who had watched One Step impressively turned their heads and checked the emergency exits.

Soon, the theater darkened,

and logos of distribution companies and production companies appeared.

The name of Plus+ as an investor also appeared.

Plus?

Not Plus+ Korea?

Imiyeon and Park Seongah, who knew well about Escape, widened their eyes.

Come to think of it, it was netizens who guessed that it was Plus+ Korea, not Escapes side.

Well, it doesnt matter where.

What they were curious about now was the movie.

Everyone silenced themselves and looked at the big screen.

***

A camera angle that was hitting the ground from the sky showed a black car coming in.

The car that ran smoothly alone showed how wide and deserted this land was.

The camera followed the car and showed a tightly closed door.

[USA-O.W.C Research Institute]

?

USA from the start?

Imiyeon and the audience blinked their eyes.

After a brief pause, the door opened.

The car entered through the heavy door.

There were guards with guns everywhere.

The car stopped at an underground parking lot.

The drivers hand opened the back door of the car and a man in a suit got out.

His face was not shown.

The man walked slowly and opened the door with his fingerprint and password.

He entered inside.

The camera followed behind him as he crossed a space surrounded by state-of-the-art facilities.

People who looked like staff bowed their heads toward him.

He was completely different from his relaxed back view.

He greeted them with a gesture and headed to the elevator.

The place where he arrived was an underground laboratory.

The screen changed.

Several computers and piles of papers.

A woman with long blonde hair tied loosely in a white gown read down one paper after another with a thoughtful face.

The content written on paper did not change no matter how many times she looked at it.

Huh?

The theater with hundreds of people stopped for a moment.

Everyone looked at the screen with the same expression without exception as if time had stopped except for the screen.

/Are you crazy! This is crazy!/

The woman threw up all papers that were piled up.

Huh?

As if the air had stopped, no one could breathe.

The audiences eyes grew as big as they could.

Their pupils shook violently. Someone opened their mouth wide.

/Professor Maria./

Someone called Maria, who was looking at the papers and shouting It cant be, professor.

If the camera didnt turn, they wouldnt be able to see it.

Imiyeon and the audience turned their heads unknowingly.

It seemed like they could see the owner of the familiar voice if they turned their heads.

The man knocked on the door that was wide open with a smile.

/Oh, I didnt knock./

/Samuel! Is this true?!/

/Hmm. What do you mean by this?/

Samuel, who was wearing a neat suit and had his hair neatly combed back, and Professor Maria, who was wearing a white gown and had her blonde hair tied loosely, looked at each other.

?

!

!!!

Ah!?

A loud scream came from somewhere in the theater.

Imiyeon and Park Seongah thought that this was a noise that they couldnt help but understand.

They felt like they would scream too, so they covered their mouths with their hands.

They were screaming inside.

Ah! Are you crazy!?

Imiyeon and Park Seongah were dizzy. They couldnt breathe and their hearts were pounding so hard that they felt like they were going to burst. They had goosebumps from head to toe.

They never imagined that they would see them here,

Hollywood stars, Evan Block and Rachel Hill.

The movie continued without regard for the audience who were shocked.

As expected, Professor, you are very smart. I think we made a good decision to entrust this matter to you. We should give more bonus to the headhunter.

Samuel! This is not the time to joke

Im not joking, Professor.

Did I enter the wrong movie theater?

I was so confused that I didnt even know where I was.

No, why are those actors here? A new Hollywood movie?

The theater was in an uproar at the unexpected appearance of the actors. Some people were taking out their phones to share their surprise and shock, and some were talking to their neighbors.

There was something dangerous.

They buried themselves in their seats, held their friends hands tightly, and closed their eyes.

But they heard the sound.

Thump!

The top of the door popped out slightly.

Thump!

The bottom of the door popped out slightly.

Thump!

The bottom of the door caved in.

A brief pause.

The silence dragged on.

Was it over?

They were hunched over, sweating in their hands, looking at the screen. Lee Mi-yeon and Park Sung-ah, and the rest of the audience, looked up at the screen with a shaky posture.

And then,

Thump!

Thump! Thump! Thump!

Thump thump thump thump thump thump!

Along with the continuous loud thumps, the door that should have been tightly closed was crushed mercilessly and seemed to open at any moment.

EEK!

GASP!

A zombie that was raging to cut off the mans last breath.

Even though they couldnt see it, they imagined that scene and screams erupted here and there.

Boom!

The thick door that had been blocking the way between the audience and the zombie was split in half.

The locked door was misaligned with the frame and opened with a creak.

Lee Mi-yeon and Park Sung-ah covered their mouths with their hands, afraid that their breathing would be heard.

The others did too, as if they had forgotten about the cameo appearances that had surprised them.

They didnt think of Evan Block or Rachel Hill.

That kind of interest only appeared after they were sure of their own safety.

Hoo, hoo.

They heard breathing that they couldnt tell if it was theirs or someone elses. Their hearts beat fast.

They felt like they could hear their own heartbeat.

A deathly silence flowed.

At that moment, when a tense atmosphere filled the theater.

Between the door that was like the last line of defense, a shoe stained with wet blood appeared.

It was just a quick step forward, but everyone flinched as if it would jump out at them any moment.

They clenched their fists so hard that it hurt.

Was this what it felt like to have your heart tighten?

Thud thud thud thud their hearts beat.

It was scary and creepy and strange.

But even so, in a strange atmosphere, the audience turned their heads but kept their eyes on the screen.

Was it a wariness toward the enemy that threatened their lives, or a curiosity to see something strange for themselves?

They couldnt tell.

What would appear there?

The audience watched the screen without breathing or blinking.

And then,

The scene changed.

Birds flew around, green trees and a well-kept garden were visible.

They heard people talking and car engines running.

A white ambulance was visible and doctors who were enjoying a short break were visible.

Even children who cried because they didnt want to go to the hospital looked peaceful.

It was a scene of everyday life.

But unlike the silence that seemed to hear peoples heartbeats just before, they heard lively noises.

As they heard sounds full of vitality, the audience members who had been tense let out a sigh of relief with frustration and relief from their stomachs.

They couldnt believe they had been so tense that they kept looking at that door.

Ugh

They lost strength because they were too tense. They leaned back on their stiff bodies in their seats.

They opened and closed their hands that were numb from clenching too hard, and drank water while still looking at the screen without taking their eyes off it.

A scene of everyday life.

But they knew it wasnt peaceful, but not peaceful.

They thought of the zombie that would cover this peace and shivered again.

A single appearance.

And it wasnt even a scene where his face appeared.

Seo-juns acting had dragged them into Escapes world like he did at the childrens play in springtime.

The movie had only started 10 minutes ago.

Just like Escape theaters were noisy in many ways, outside theaters were not quiet either.
