"Wonderful, Mr. Lazarus, when I first saw this thing, even I was shocked!"
Belphegor shouted loudly as the train on the screen came toward the audience, carrying an indescribable sense of realism. Bologue's body tensed uncontrollably, as if he was really about to collide head-on with the train.
The train rushed out of the screen.
Bologue could smell the burning coal and hear the roaring sounds of gears. In the instant the train got infinitely close, it transformed into an illusory phantom and dissipated before him.
"Ha ha!"
Belphegor's laughter was never-ending, and in the cinema, someone like him was definitely in the less welcome category.
As a movie enthusiast, Bologue knew what this was, "The Arrival of a Train," humanity's first film and possibly the first horror movie. When people first saw this strange "movie" thing, the oncoming train frightened many.
