Yu Lingxin slightly tilted her head. Since her brother said so, she felt sure there was nothing to worry about.

Fang Yunyun listened to this and thought it made sense.

With Zhou Yingting around, those guys wouldn't dare to retaliate without thinking twice.

Thinking of this, she felt somewhat reassured.

After strolling for a while, the two returned to Zhou Yingting, and they each held a movie ticket in hand.

Zhou Yingting saw them coming out and noticed the movie tickets in their hands, and immediately got ready to stand up, "Are you going to watch a movie?"

"Yeah, we bought one for you too, come with us!"

Yu Lingxin said, stepping forward and handing over the movie ticket, looking at Zhou Yingting with a pleading expression.

Hearing this, Zhou Yingting looked at the movie ticket handed over, ready to refuse, but upon seeing Yu Lingxin's pleading gaze, he thought for a moment and nodded.

Subsequently, Zhou Yingting took the movie ticket, glanced at the name of the movie, and raised an eyebrow.

"A foreign movie?"

"Yes, I heard it's a science fiction movie and very entertaining!"

Yu Lingxin immediately nodded. She had been confined at home and only heard that this movie was excellent but hadn't seen it yet.

Now that she had the chance, she definitely wanted to watch it.

Zhou Yingting nodded upon seeing this and then went with them toward the cinema.

The cinema was not far ahead, and it was unknown how they managed to pick up the movie tickets before coming to him.

Were they worried he might refuse, so they got the tickets beforehand so he couldn't say no?

Thinking of this, Zhou Yingting shook his head slightly and followed them to the cinema.

After the ticket check, they entered the cinema.

A moment later, the movie began.

Zhou Yingting sat for several minutes, and then the movie started playing.

As the movie began, it started with a monochrome film, appearing somewhat oppressive.

Zhou Yingting continued to watch, and subsequently, as the movie played, this science fiction movie seemed to include some inexplicable elements.

"Ah! This is so terrifying!"

Fang Yunyun, sitting next to Zhou Yingting, watched the sudden frightening scene in the movie and couldn't help but scream.

Zhou Yingting watched the movie, shook his head at Fang Yunyun's scream, thinking she was just timid, when suddenly out of the corner of his eye, he saw something.

"Something's not right...."

Looking at his attribute panel, Zhou Yingting noticed that at some point, his spiritual power had dropped by one point!

Although it was just one point, it was crucial since his spiritual power was full when he came out.

Why did his spiritual power suddenly drop at this time?

Zhou Yingting frowned at his attribute panel, and his gaze subtly glanced around.

The cinema was filled with people watching the movie, but a glance around revealed nothing suspicious.

Zhou Yingting was puzzled by this.

He had never seen his spiritual power drop without reason; there had to be a cause.

But what exactly was the cause?

As Zhou Yingting looked at his attribute panel, his attention was again drawn to the movie screen.

After observing for a while, Zhou Yingting found that his spiritual power had again dropped by one point.

And at that moment, several surprised exclamations rang around.

Hearing these exclamations, Zhou Yingting's heart skipped a beat.

Could it be....?

Zhou Yingting's gaze fixed on the movie in front of him, his brow furrowing, and then he immediately stood up.

"Stop watching, there's something wrong with this movie."

Zhou Yingting said softly to Yu Lingxin and Fang Yunyun, then immediately urged them to leave.

The two, still engrossed in the movie, paused at his words and then asked puzzled.

"What's wrong, why is there something wrong with the movie?"

"Let's go outside first."

Zhou Yingting didn't explain, only quickly led them out.

Once outside, Zhou Yingting looked at the two, realizing their complexions were already pale.

They seemed frightened, yet this paleness revealed an unnatural hue.

"Brother, what happened?"

Yu Lingxin was still thinking about the movie's plot, eager to know what happened next.

Called out by Zhou Yingting now, she felt reluctant.

"What happened, just look at your current complexion."

Zhou Yingting replied, then promptly dialed Zhang Yi.

Zhang Yi, still in a meeting, hesitated for a second before answering upon seeing Zhou Yingting's call.

"What is it?"

Zhang Yi asked upon picking up the call.

"Something's off with a movie. My spiritual power kept dropping while watching it, it's a foreign film named 'Deep Space.'

"Really?"

Zhang Yi was startled by this, knowing that a massive drop in spiritual power was terrible news.

"Are you sure it's the movie that's causing it?"

Zhang Yi asked again, wanting certainty.

If it's true, with such a wide release, it would be a significant issue.

"I'm not completely sure yet, but the movie is highly likely the cause."

Zhou Yingting thought for a moment, unable to guarantee fully.

"Got it, I'll have it checked immediately."

Zhang Yi nodded affirmatively, then ended the call and promptly dispatched people to investigate the film.

Determining if the movie is the problem is relatively straightforward by having several people watch it at different cinemas.

Currently, many theaters are screening this movie, dispersed viewers can check it out.

If there's unanimous spiritual power depletion, it confirms the movie as the culprit.

So, this movie must be problematic.

"Why does your complexion look so awful?"

Noticing Yu Lingxin beside, Fang Yunyun saw her extremely poor complexion and asked, surprised.

Hearing this, Yu Lingxin quickly took out her mirror, startled upon seeing her reflection.

"Your complexion is also dreadful."

This level of paleness was beyond normal.

If it weren't for Zhou Yingting's words, they might have considered air conditioning the reason.

But now, hearing it's due to the movie raised chills in their hearts.

"Could this movie be related to something like 'The Ring?' Does watching it summon an evil spirit?"

She shivered at this thought.

Zhou Yingting glanced at his attribute panel and said, "Don't worry, it's unlikely, for now."

Currently, his panel didn't show any curse-related negative effects, so it seemed alright.

By hearing this, Fang Yunyun felt somewhat relieved.

Unlike Yu Lingxin, who had Zhou Yingting by her side, ready to resolve any issue, Fang Yunyun was alone, which would be troublesome if something happened.

"Let's sit outside for a while; we don't know if the movie is the issue yet, it might not be."

Without Zhang Yi's message, Zhou Yingting wasn't sure it was the movie's problem.

If it was the movie, who tampered with it—the Extraordinary ones?

Or did something escape from a different realm and meddle with this film?

By distressing people and sapping their spiritual power, what benefit does it bring to them?

Or the more spiritual power lost here, the greater their gains?

Sitting on the chair, Zhou Yingting contemplated what benefit they could derive from this while waiting for Zhang Yi's update.
