Chapter 49: Kick Skills (Thanks to the Leader "Transcendant of the Heavens" For the Reward)
“Ah!!”
Jilan suddenly opened his eyes and gasped.
The cold, darkness and suffocation at the bottom of the lake disappeared quietly, but he was still frightened.
In front of him was the curtain hanging on the wall of the utility room.
The room was dark without lights on, and the movie on the curtain was still playing, but it was already the end of the film.
The camera is looking down at the Black Lake from the air. Fima is lying quietly by the pier, while the white cast and subtitles are slowly rolling on the lake on the other side...
"Thanks: Cast List."
"The heroine 'Fima Costello' is played by myself."
"The sheriff 'Pierre Aitch' is played by 'Mr. A'."
"Friend A is played by 'Stork'."
"Friend B is played by 'Sparrow'."
"Friend C is played by 'Snowy Owl'."
"..."
"Thanks: Behind the Scenes Staff."
"Film Director, David Norman."
"Chief Photographer, Chloë Melanie."
"Assistant Scriptwriter, Hera Nibar."
"..."
"This film is dedicated to all those who sacrifice their lives for their dreams."
"May you get what you want in the end."
"——'Director' (unclear name)"
The background music of the film's thank you section is still the noisy air raid sirens, which makes Gillan frown.
He couldn't help but feel confused again.
'Does the sound of the air raid alarm mean the movie is over? Why did the alarm sound without any pattern in "Moonburn Village" and always sounded halfway through...'
'And... who is the "Mr. A" who plays the sheriff "Pierre Aitch" in the cast list? Could it be that he is the same actor as the male character in the movie that Miss Seagull watched at midnight? '
'But the problem is that this is not an ordinary movie! '
'Or is "Mr. A" just a common nickname, just like "Anonymous" or "Stars" in the previous life, everyone can be "Mr. A"? '
Gillian couldn't figure it out for a while, but he had to put his doubts aside for the time being.
Click.
Old Jerry turned on the light at this time, and the utility room suddenly became bright.
"Huh, huh..." Mr. Oystercatcher and others all lay on the sofa weakly, panting. The whole process of watching "Black Lake" made them physically and mentally exhausted.
Mr. Stork was bent over, frowning, holding a steel cane with his left hand and kneading his temple with his right hand.
He was injured in the movie, so he still has a headache now.
After resting for a while.
"Mr. Snow Owl, are you okay?" Mr. Stork turned his head to look at Gillan and asked in a deep voice: "I saw you suddenly jumped into the lake..."
"Nothing." Gillan stood up, shook his head, and stretched his muscles. "I originally wanted to go down to see what was at the bottom of the lake, but it turned out to be just black and found nothing."
"It's really too risky, Mr. Snow Owl."
Miss Sparrow also got up from the sofa, smoothing the pleated hem of her skirt while caring.
"The alchemist in the movie died quietly at the bottom of the lake. If there is a so-called evil power lurking under the Black Lake, you will be in danger!"
"Miss Sparrow is right. Your behavior of jumping into the Black Lake is very dangerous. I don't agree with you doing this..."
Mr. Stork walked to the projector, pressed the off lever, and sighed:
"Being impatient is a taboo in "watching movies". I would rather watch it a few more times, but remember not to try to take risks. After all, we only have one life."
"I've learned my lesson." Gillan nodded. "Sorry, I won't do this again."
Mr. Stork hummed and said nothing more.
He actually understood it very well.
After all, Gillan was just a young man who came out of the poor area. He had fighting spirit, courage, and certain strength, but he lacked the patience to make decisions later... The relentless pursuit of the police station and the Louis family must have put him under great pressure, so he urgently wanted to gain the power to protect himself.
There was nothing wrong with this, but he didn't want to see Gillan lose his life because of his recklessness.
This is also a loss for the record.
"This 'mercury battery' is exhausted."
Mr. Stork picked up the power plug of the projector, packed up the black film reel, and said to everyone.
"Let's stop here for this 'film viewing'. Everyone is tired. Have a good rest. As for the next 'film viewing day', we will find time to discuss it..."
"The storyline of "Black Lake" has basically been explored. If the lake water is really effective, then we can take time to drink it in the future. This film will be a precious treasure. Remember not to leak this matter."
He solemnly instructed.
Others also understood this truth, so they nodded in agreement.

Gillian returned to Room 301.
"Black Lake" was the first movie he had experienced in its entirety. Although the whole process was not thrilling, he still felt a little tired.
He took off his felt hat, lay down on the comfortable bed in a big letter shape, and exhaled a long breath.
He just wanted to take a short rest, but he fell asleep without realizing it.
When he woke up again, it was already evening outside the window.
Jilan rubbed his sleepy eyes and sat up. After a moment of silence, he took off his brown windbreaker and put it on the bed with his hat.
Then he stood up, took two steps forward, and walked to the empty space in the room.
‘Colorful. ’
He called out silently in his heart, and then recalled the content of "White Cross Bodybuilding" in his mind.
This time, he accumulated "35" points of mysterious energy in the movie "Black Lake". Jilan wanted to try whether he could continue to improve the stage of bodybuilding.
Soon, his expression was happy.
Because the colored number "35" in the corner of his sight flickered slightly, as if there was a response.
‘Yes! Very good! ’
Jilan was about to take out the secret notebook that recorded the bodybuilding, but he was stunned the next second.
Because the colored number "35" suddenly plummeted, kept jumping, and finally turned into "5".
A full 30 points of mysterious energy were consumed inexplicably, and he didn't know what happened. Just when he was in doubt, a very complex and secret message suddenly appeared in his mind, and at the same time, his body also had a strange reaction.
Giggle...
Crack...
Jilan heard the crisp sound of his leg joints, hundreds of muscles began to contract and tighten, he groaned, and fell to the ground due to the intense pain.
"Ugh!!" Jilan gritted his teeth, endured the severe pain, and watched his casual trousers bulge one by one, as if dozens of mice were crawling under his muscles. "Ugh!!"
His legs trembled like cramps, stiffly straightened, and even the instep was arched at a strange angle.
This change lasted for several minutes.
When everything was over, Jilan was sweating and his face was flushed.
But he recovered quickly, took a deep breath, and got up from the ground.
'Why do I have to suffer this pain every time...'
Jilan stretched his legs and complained secretly.
'Unfortunately, this time the improvement of "White Cross Body Building Technique" is not a stage-by-stage leap, but it allows me to learn a hidden "secret technique". '
His eyes were bright and he smiled.
‘The powerful kicking skill developed by Agni Baldwin, the former vice-chairman of the “Healing Knights” and the leader of the four knights, the “Silver Crown Knight”, is the “Bone Crushing Kick”! ’
According to the author of the secret notes, the recorder Espy, Agni used the “Bone Crushing Kick” to kick the 15-centimeter-thick solid wrought iron gate to pieces!
Not kicking it open, not breaking it, but kicking it to pieces!
You can imagine how terrifying the explosive power was to be able to kick the thick wrought iron gate into pieces.
‘Although I am definitely far from that level now...’
Gilan stood on tiptoe, eager to try.
‘But it should be possible to kick a powerful blow beyond ordinary people, right? ’
