Falsifying history is good business

Chapter 207 Chapter "Simple" Popcorn Movie Plot

"Do you need me to open another portal to send you to the end of the story?" Just as He said, God had no objection to Lin You's sudden change of plan and even offered to help.

"No need. Anyway, the timeline of this story is only a few days long, so just take it as a vacation." Lin You watched Dr. Jones being taken away by the CIA for investigation, and at the same time declined God's kindness. "I just experienced the grand scene of the gods fighting in the God of War world, and suddenly I miss this world with low damage value."

Although the power contained in the Ark of the Covenant and the Holy Grail in the story of "Indiana Jones" is extremely strong, this power is uncontrollable; no one can control it, and naturally no one can pose a threat to a Saint Seiya wearing a golden armor.

To be precise, Lin You doesn't even need to put on the holy clothes; because before integrating into the big world, this world can't even find an opponent worthy of Lin You taking out his magic wand.

Therefore, in addition to the CIA agent, Dr. Jones had no idea that there was another hidden monitor around him.

However, from here until the end, there is actually nothing much to say about the plot of the movie. It is nothing more than the routine of adventure movies; the atmosphere is set through various thrilling, weird, scary, or funny and humorous plots to stimulate the audience's adrenaline.

The Raiders of the Lost Ark series is Spielberg's most commercial film, bar none. The characteristic of popcorn movies is that after you watch them, you can forget the plot as soon as you leave the theater - it is not worth the extra memory burden on your brain.

If you remove those popcorn plots, the rest of the story can be explained in a few words: Dr. Jones and his little follower left the United States and came to Peru, where they discovered clues left by another archaeological expert, Harold, who was also Jones's good friend, and then found the key prop, the crystal skull, along the way.

Then they were captured by the villain and forced to cooperate with him. They gathered the clues held by all parties and found the location of the final destination. Then there was another fierce fight without any danger, and the good guys and the villains found the location of the target one after another.

Pretty boring and simple, right? The plot of a commercial popcorn movie is so plain and simple, relying on various thrilling scenes to stimulate the audience, and never letting you waste even a single brain cell on the story content.

However, seeing a tall and strong Soviet elite soldier in his prime being defeated by an old man in his sixties, Lin You's strong desire to complain was aroused again.

"An elite Soviet troop that can infiltrate deep into the heart of the United States to carry out missions, but the selection and assessment not only does not consider marksmanship, but also does not consider combat ability? The revisionists really don't do their job properly."

No matter how much he complained, Lin You always remained a bystander and never interfered with the development of the plot. Finally, after following Dr. Jones for a few days, he arrived at the final destination of the trip, which was also the mysterious lost city of Hector, the Inca civilization.

At this point, the plot has changed from simple and crude fighting to puzzle design that tests the imagination. Strictly speaking, this is the part of the adventure film that best reflects the director's skills.

Spielberg is certainly not bad in this regard.

Watching Dr. Jones solve the puzzle and open the yellow sand mechanism on the spot is more shocking than watching it on the screen in a cinema.

Although the mechanism made by the gravity of the stone itself and the pressure of the water flow looks rough and heavy, it is actually more in line with common sense. On the contrary, the mechanism with delicate components cannot still operate normally after hundreds of years - either it has rotted or rusted.

In the core underground secret room of the city of Ector, thirteen "crystal" humanoid skeletons sit on the throne; these skeletons belong to a mysterious alien race, who were worshipped as gods by the ancient Incas, and even their bodies were enshrined after their death.

Among the thirteen skeletons, one is missing a head - the missing head is the one that Dr. Jones and his team brought back after going through hardships. These skeletons send mental hints to humans through a method similar to brain waves, asking the person who gets the skull to return it to its original owner and put it back on the skeleton. As a reward, the owner of the skeleton will also give a gift to the person who brings back the skull.

At the last moment, the Soviet female spy, who was the villain, rushed to the scene and snatched the crystal skull from Dr. Jones, which was equivalent to snatching the opportunity to get the reward from the aliens.

However, the Soviet spy played the role of the oriole, and Lin You played the role of the hunter with a slingshot.

When the beautiful female spy was about to put the skull back, Lin You used an "immobilization spell" to freeze her, and then used several "disarming spells" and "stunning spells" to knock down the few remaining Soviet soldiers. He easily took control of the situation and took the skull away.

The moment the magic was cast, the effect of the Disillusionment Spell was automatically lifted, revealing the figure of the writer. However, this obviously young figure was beyond everyone's expectations.

"Who are you?" Dr. Jones remained calm and asked while holding the whip.

"Sorry, Doctor, I don't mean to disturb your party; but I have some questions that I must ask these alien guests." Lin You walked briskly past the crowd to the crystal skeleton, looking at these mysterious alien visitors.

Although only skeletons are left, these aliens should still be alive, at least alive in a certain sense. Otherwise, they would not be able to send psychic hints to people who come into contact with the crystal skulls.

"Can you hear me? Can you answer my questions?" Lin You asked the skeletons seriously, as if they were all living people. But after asking several times, he got no response.

Dr. Jones quipped, "I guess they only speak Mayan."

"That's troublesome, I don't know how to do it!" Lin You looked distressed.

"Maybe I can help you translate. What do you want to ask them?" Dr. Jones could hardly hide his curiosity about the mysterious boy in front of him.

Lin You looked at Dr. Jones, but shook his head and said, "Forget it, there are some things that cannot be known to too many people..."

This sentence inevitably made the people on the opposite side very nervous. Not only did Dr. Jones almost swing his whip, but the young man behind him was also secretly preparing to look for a gun on the Soviet soldier.

Lin You changed the subject and turned to look at the crystal skeleton again. "Since you also have the ability to communicate with your mind, we don't need to use such an inefficient method as verbal communication."

The Ophiuchus Saint is also a master of telepathy and mind control, and is no worse than these aliens when it comes to telepathic communication.

"Are you still able to think and communicate with me?" This was the first question Lin You asked from a spiritual level. Silently, following the thoughts emitted by the crystal skeleton, it was transmitted back into the other party's deep consciousness.
