Chapter 169: The True Master Director, Eden
"Movies, will they really work?"
"Trust me, Boss Kevin. As long as Sister Fiammetta is a normal girl, it's guaranteed to work."
W pulled out the movie tickets she bought with her own savings from her pocket, patting her chest with full confidence.
After all, she had just bought a book from the bookstore titled "The Art of Love: How to Confidently Handle Thirty-Two Types of Girls."
Following the textbook, she couldn't possibly get it wrong, right?
Whether Sister Fiammetta was normal or not, she knew perfectly well.
......
"Watch a movie?"
Pozëmka slightly parted her cherry lips. Did the sun rise from the west today?
Kevin actually invited her to watch a movie on his own initiative?
It seemed she didn't sleep well during her nap and was hallucinating.
She couldn't help but pat her own face, trying to wake herself up.
Seeing Pozëmka's series of actions, Kevin fell silent. Was this considered a rejection?
"Go ahead, my friend. What is beautiful is never just a dream."
Eden encouraged softly, her voice like clear, fine wine, awakening Pozëmka who seemed lost in a dream.
"If you don't have time, next time..."
Just as Kevin was about to take the movie tickets back, they were snatched away by a pair of fair hands.
"I! Have! Time!"
Pozëmka's beautiful wolf-like eyes appeared firm and sharp at this moment. She looked directly at Kevin, enunciating each word clearly.
"Alright."
Having seized the fateful movie tickets, the wolf tail behind her wagged happily.
"Well then, Eden, I'll take my leave for today."
She familiarly wrapped her arms around Kevin's right arm, her eyes already brimming with irrepressible joy.
"May you both have a wonderful and pleasant evening."
Watching the two leave the house, Eden adjusted her posture on the chair. 6⑨4⑨3⑥1③5
Her right leg, clad in black stockings, crossed over her left leg. In the blink of an eye, her demeanor transformed from that of a gentle, understanding girl-next-door into a queen!
"W, the target has left the starting point. Pay attention..."
"Received! Sister Eden."
W's response came from the other end of the walkie-talkie.
And it wasn't just W; different voices responded one after another from the walkie-talkie. Eden issued instructions methodically.
Like a director overseeing everything, meticulously preparing for the upcoming performance.
"Does Kevin know about all this you're doing?"
Xi looked at the walkie-talkie in Eden's hand with a strange expression.
"He knows, but not completely."
"?"
Eden revealed a mysterious smile.
Probably, Kevin still thought that only W was helping him.
"Can I join in?"
"Hehe, of course you can, Miss Xi."

The lingering traces of spring had not yet faded; Gouwu's nights were slightly chilly.
Fiammetta wore a set of knitted sweater with black trousers on the lower half.
Because she was too excited at the time, she didn't have time to dress up properly. Her face, free of makeup, was flushed red.
Was it because of the lingering chill of spring? Or the shyness in her heart?
"Why did you suddenly think of inviting me to watch a movie?"
After coming to her senses, Pozëmka asked nonchalantly with a smile.
She wasn't really some love-struck fool; she could certainly notice such an obvious anomaly.
"Let me guess~ Could it be because you did something you feel sorry about and want to make it up to me?"
She lightly tapped her lips with her finger, probing tentatively.
Based on Pozëmka's understanding of Kevin, this was likely his only motive left.
"No."
Kevin decisively denied this claim.
Well, actually, in a way, making her wait for so long meant what he was about to do could indeed be seen as a form of "compensation."
But to preserve the sense of surprise that W mentioned,
he naturally wouldn't reveal everything.
"Alright then. By the way, what movie did you book?"
Seeing that she couldn't guess the truth, Pozëmka wasn't stubborn at all.
After all, knowing when to play dumb is also one of a woman's virtues.
But earlier, she was too busy being happy and didn't notice what movie was on the tickets.
"'Peach Blossom Warrior vs. Chrysanthemum Monster'?"
"Pfft~ What an interesting name. I never knew you liked this kind of movie, Kevin?"
"..."
Kevin fell silent. At this point, explaining that W bought the tickets was impossible.
"The genre is... horror film?"
Upon seeing the classification line on the ticket stub, a certain pink-haired Lupo's eyes lit up.
......
Gouwu Cinema,
This was a building covering a vast area. Although Gouwu City's architectural style was retro,
it didn't mean it was backward. On the contrary, Gouwu, rarely hit by Catastrophes, enjoyed prosperous and stable economic development, more advanced than most cities in Yan.
After checking their tickets, Kevin and Fiammetta entered with some snacks.
Perhaps due to Gouwu residents' habits and it being a weekday, there were very few people in the cinema.
And the screening they were in "coincidentally" had only the two of them.
"We bought tickets for two but get the treatment of a private screening."
Pozëmka checked the seat numbers and found their seats. Soon, the movie began.
In the cinema's monitoring room, W was lounging on a recliner chair.
"Targets have entered. Prepare to start the film. Make sure to turn off the lights quickly later; don't let her react..."
......
In the quiet morgue, heads of people possessed by Chrysanthemum Monsters split open one by one.
Blooming from their crowns, their oral cavities filled with pale broken teeth, dripping blood mixed with disgusting mucus.
"Roar!"
Neither the monster's roars nor the nearly bloody feeding scenes and horrifying imagery affected the two people below.
"Boring."
Pozëmka was almost falling asleep.
Actually, this film was quite well-made, but its most crucial horror and thriller elements now seemed dull.
This wasn't the film's problem; it was a people problem.
She glanced sideways at Kevin and received his puzzled look.
Sometimes, having a man who makes you feel too secure isn't entirely a good thing.
"Ha~ I'm getting sleepy. Let me lean on your shoulder."
She tilted her head towards Kevin's direction. Feeling his solid shoulder and chest, she subtly snuggled closer. Her soft wolf ears twitched as she was about to fall asleep.
But at that moment, an abrupt change occurred!
Squeak—
The screen emitted a piercing sound. The lights went out, plunging the cinema hall into darkness.
"A power outage?"
Fiammetta's drowsiness vanished instantly.
A quiet, eerie atmosphere permeated the surroundings.
The Chrysanthemum Monster's screeches seemed to linger in their ears.
Faint calls for help? A sudden chill from nowhere? As if someone was breathing on their necks? It made one's skin crawl all over.
This kind of scene was simply—
"So cool!"
Pozëmka's eyes sparkled.
This atmosphere was way better than that stupid movie!
"???"
W, who was in charge of planning this, never expected this outcome.
She had recently wanted to write some works related to supernatural themes.
Perhaps due to innate talent, her resistance in this area was maxed out.
All her preparations ultimately proved futile...
