The cinema was crowded with people, and Ren observed the movie posters hanging above the hall.
"Great," he said.
There were many people; after all, it was Saturday today.
Some were in groups of five or six, and they looked like classmates.
Most were in couples, like Ren and Sakura.
But unlike Ren and Sakura, everyone was holding hands intimately or cuddling.
They were obviously couples in love.
But Ren and Sakura, obviously, were not. There was a small distance between them, which clearly separated them, as if they were not a couple.
"Yes, going to the cinema once in a while to watch a movie still has a good atmosphere," Sakura said with a smile.
"Yes, the cinema is a good place."
Ren said with a smile: "I like this place, because people go to the cinema when they die."
Sakura's eyes widened for a moment. "Huh, people die... they go to the cinema?"
She didn't understand. In general, different parts of the world have different opinions on the fate of souls after death.
The Holy Bishop emphasizes that those who believe in God and do good will go to heaven after death.
Those who do not believe in God and do evil will fall into hell.
Ancient Egyptian mythology also says that after death, people will enter the underworld to be judged by the god of death and the god of the underworld.
Their heart will be extracted and placed on a scale with feathers on one end. A pure and evil heart will be lighter than feathers, so the tip of the feather will fall.
This means that they can go to the realm of the gods in heaven and enjoy eternal life and happiness.
On the contrary, those whose hearts are heavier than a feather will fall into the underworld and be punished.
Japan believes that whoever dies will go to hell, and the judge and the King of Hell will judge them according to their deeds in previous lives.
Then, depending on the specific circumstances, they will be sentenced to six different reincarnations.
But... none of these sayings state that people go to the cinema after death.
After all, cinema has only existed for a few decades, since the birth of human civilization...
"At the moment someone dies, they stand in the middle of the cinema, with popcorn and Coca-Cola in their hands, and then they look for their seat... After sitting down, the room darkens, various trailers are projected on the screen, and interesting movies are shown non-stop... Simply, they play forever."
Ren laughed and said: "Isn't that great?"
Pedestrians to the side looked at him in surprise.
"Ren, you..."
Sakura was a little scared. 'Could it be that Ren's condition has worsened to the point of suicidal tendencies?' "Isn't that great?"
Ren tilted his head and looked at her: 'This should be much more interesting than the myth that people go to the underworld paradise after death, right?'
'I've already decided. Next, I'm going to draw "Fire Punch"!'
Just as Sakura was confused, Ren suddenly said.
"Huh? Fire Punch?"
Sakura didn't understand what Ren was talking about. "Are you referring to the... next manga?"
"Well, I'm going to draw this manga so everyone knows how good cinema is!"
Ren gave a thumbs up. "Then, let's give it to everyone as a gift!"
"A gift?"
Sakura thought of a solution and quickly said: "Then, before this gift is delivered, Ren, you can't... give up."
"I won't give up easily."
Ren showed a radiant and cheerful smile and said: "Before that, I also want to watch many, many movies and manga!"
"Well, time's almost up."
Sakura looked at the cinema clock and said: "Let's go in."
"Wait, I'm going to buy popcorn and drinks!"
Ren said: "Even though we've already eaten, popcorn and drinks are still indispensable for watching a movie!"
Sakura nodded. "I'll wait for you here."
Ren waved his hand and ran directly to the cinema counter to buy two popcorns, a Coca-Cola, and an orange juice.
He ran back and entered the cinema with Sakura.
Soon after finding their seats, the movie started.
"Daredevil: The Dark Knight Rises" turned out to be the same "Batman: The Dark Knight Rises" that Ren had seen in his previous life.
The name Batman in this parallel world means Daredevil, and the master is still the same, with the same appearance of a giant bat.
But... the actor for Daredevil in this parallel world is Ben Affleck.
It could be said that he directly jumped into the common image of Daredevil and Batman.
Although he had seen it once, Ren was not bored.
He simply observed the scenes carefully, in silence.
Sakura was not completely immersed in the plot of the big screen movie. She often watched Ren out of the corner of her eye, who was watching it intently.
The lights and shadows of the cinema, which often changed with the big screen, illuminated Ren's attractive face.
One could clearly see the lines of his face, with defined edges and bright changes, and a calmer expression than usual.
And the longing and tranquility of the cinema were reflected in his eyes.
Sakura smiled.
The movie finally ended, Ren slowly stood up and saw Sakura with a smile on her face.
"This movie is pretty good, isn't it, Sakura?" he immediately said with a smile.
"Yes, this... movie is really good," Sakura replied.
"Although it's a little worse than the previous "The Dark Knight", the overall quality is still quite good...".
Ren began to take the lead in the conversation and discussed it vehemently.
He was completely different from the quiet and polite girl who watched the movie.
"Yes... yes... yes."
Sakura's words were evasive; after all... she hadn't seen much of the movie at that moment.
"Alright, let's go out first."
At that moment, she suddenly boldly grabbed his hand... Ren's wrist, who wouldn't stop talking.
"Huh?"
Ren was a little surprised for a moment.
Then, his ears turned red. It was the first time a girl had held his hand.
Although it was just a wrist, the cold and soft touch made him a little uncomfortable.
"Alright."
Ren looked at Sakura and seemed not to care. He pretended not to care and said: "Then let's go out first."
"Let's go!"
Seeing this, Sakura smiled and quickly pulled him out of the cinema.
"Hey, hey, hey!"
Ren was surprised. Sakura had never been so crazy.
At that moment, Sakura grabbed Ren's wrist, and her beautiful face, with a smile, seemed to have made a decision.
She wanted to show affection to Ren and couldn't let him simply... give up!
