After that, we returned to the first floor at some point.
"Phew, how many more floors do we have to go like this?"
"Since Yoo Joonghyuk has already cleared some floors too. It'll probably be faster than you think."
Lee Jihye asked while looking at the torn poster for *Juri■■ ■■*.
"Is it only the movies with intact posters that are screened?"
"Seems like it. This one looks torn because we cleared it. It was fine earlier."
Jung Heewon looked at the torn poster Lee Jihye was staring at and spoke as if fascinated. Kim Dokja glanced at the two and said.
"Let's hurry. We don't know how many movies are left."
Fortunately, just like in the original work, most of the movie posters were torn, so we were able to go straight up to the 4th floor without much interference.
[You have entered the 4th floor.]
[The screening begins.]
The next moment, we found ourselves on the bow of a ship.
"Ugh...."
Lee Jihye, who gets seasick, started gagging continuously. I felt sorry for her and kept patting her back.
"Dawson!"
"Huh?"
A man with slicked-back white hair wearing a neat suit, who appeared out of nowhere, kept shouting while glaring at me.
"Jack Dawson!"
"Isn't that guy the villain of this movie?"
"Seems like it."
After that, though I don't know who brought it from where, we immediately tied up the villain in front of us with a rope someone brought and kidnapped him to a room.
"Mmph! Mmph mmph!!"
The villain kidnapped by us struggled desperately while tied up with rope, saying something, but his mouth was gagged so I couldn't understand.
Anyway, the five of us surrounded that villain.
"What should we do with this person? We caught him because he's a villain, but..."
"Kidnapping and confinement don't seem to trigger any reaction."
"Then let's kill him."
"Mmmpgh...! Mmmpgh!!"
The man whose entire body was tied with rope, upon hearing our words, shed tears from his eyes and thrashed about.
"The theater owner said it's a cider pass, right? Then quickly killing guys like this should be the answer."
Jung Heewon, who heard Lee Jihye's words, looked down at the thrashing villain and said.
"But... he really seems like a real person."
"Huh?"
"This is a movie. But he seems so real."
Kim Dokja stared blankly at Jung Heewon with an expression that seemed hard to put into words.
"Unnie, is now the time for such sentimental talk? If we don't kill this person, we die. We are definitely alive, but this person is just a 'character.' Moreover, he's a 'villain' who will do bad things. Even if he were a 'real person,' where is the reason to hesitate?"
"...Is that so?"
Kim Dokja, after hearing Lee Jihye and Jung Heewon's words, made a thoughtful expression.
Thud!
Lee Jihye stabbed her sword into the chest of the man thrashing on the floor. Blood gushed from where the sword pierced, and the man's body slumped limply to the floor. Soon after, a system message appeared.
[The theater owner is satisfied with the changed ending.]
[A passage to the next floor has opened at the ship's stern.]
"See, we did it right. If my master is about to die, there's no time to whine!"
Lee Jihye said with a triumphant smile.
[You have reached the second 'Ending credit'.]
"Swift and decisive!"
Lee Jihye grinned and gave me and Kim Dokja a thumbs-up.
[Cast: Kim Dokja, Kang Yuseong, Jung Heewon, Lee Jihye, Lee Gilyoung]
[You have acquired 500 coins each as appearance fees.]
Following the system message's guidance, we moved to the ship's stern, and soon after returning to the theater dungeon, we immediately began ascending to the next floor.
According to the original work, there are no movies after this, so if we go up like this... we should reach the reward room....
[A special screening is currently prepared.]
[The special screening begins.]
A red spotlight shone on us from somewhere.
'What's this? In the original, after Tita■■, you arrived at the reward room. There shouldn't have been another movie?'
I felt something was wrong, but the screening had already started, and soon we were transported somewhere.
Clack clack!
"This place is....?"
The inside of an old-fashioned train somewhere was the stage for this movie.
"What movie is this now?"
"Did anyone see the poster for this movie?"
"I didn't see it..."
"This movie is....."
While all the party members were flustered, I suddenly felt a familiarity with this train.
'What is it? I've seen this train somewhere before.... Where did I see it? This familiar structure.... No way!'
Thinking it couldn't be, I immediately opened the carriage door. On the other side, four extremely conspicuous young men were sitting.
A boy with black hair and a scar, next to him a man with long yellow hair tinged with red at the ends, a boy stripped to the waist wearing a boar mask sticking his face out the window and shouting, and the boy holding him back with golden hair dyed orange at the tips, a two-tone hair color that overall reminded one of a dandelion.
"Holy shit..... this is..."
'This is Demon Slayer: Mugen Train!!!!!!!!!!'
