When Sony wins the game, the enraged tycoon is determined to make her pay.
He killed "Sony", only to find that it was just a android. Her body was actually a genetic creature on the fighting field, and her fear of death was her secret to defeating her opponent.
The degree of pornography in this film is quite high, and you need to be cautious when entering the play~

3. The witness
A woman was staying at a hotel when she happened to witness a murder in the house opposite.
When she met the eyes of the "murderer", she ran downstairs quickly, and all she could see were empty corridors, streets, and shops.
In the end, she chose to hide in a familiar nightclub to protect herself, but no one cared about her call for help, just an excuse for being late. When she asked her friend for help, she found that he was already high. This is a world of entertainment to death, where all beings are noisy, but dead silent.
In the end, she was caught up by the "murderer". After a fight, she shot and killed the "murderer". At this time, she looked out the window, and the "murderer" looked at her with blood on her face through the window. At first she saw the "murderer".
4. Suits mobile armor
It tells the story of a group of farmers piloting sci-fi mecha equipment to resist the invasion of alien insect-shaped aliens.
The whole story is simple, the "alien version" of humanity defending its homeland, full of love and sacrifice.
But the problem is also in the "alien version".
In the end, we found that the place where the story takes place is not on Earth, humans live in colonies that have been opened up, and those who are constantly invading monsters may be the aborigines.
5. Sucker of Souls
The explorer came to an ancient tomb and happened to meet two cats mating at the entrance.
The expedition continued to go deeper, but unexpectedly awakened the bloodthirsty monster, which was invulnerable and slaughtered the explorers frantically.
When the explorers fled, they found that the monsters were killing people, but they were extremely afraid of the cats in the tombs.
Cats save the world.
6. When the Yogurt Took Over
Scientists transplanted the most advanced DNA into German lactic acid bacteria, and did not expect to make yogurt evolve. When the US government was worried about domestic conflicts, yogurt stood up, on the condition that it leased Ohio for 100 years.
During this period, yogurt continued to evolve, and human society had many problems. Finally, the US government was forced to give yogurt the power to govern.
After yogurt came to power, everyone dressed in milky white, the problem was solved, and the "personality" was solved. In the end, yogurt took a rocket and left the earth under the watchful eyes of everyone.
7. Beyond the Aquila Rift breaks through the Aquila Rift

But the route icon goes wrong and they come to a desolate planet. At this time, the male protagonist did not know the truth of the matter, and he happily had sex with the female protagonist.
Until one day, the male protagonist found that the wound left on the female protagonist was gone, he questioned the female protagonist, and the female protagonist told him it was better not to know the truth.
The male protagonist, who insisted on waking up, saw the truth and fell into a collapse. It turned out that he was already skinny and his teammates had already died. For a long time, he just lived in a fantasy created by alien creatures.
The alien creature that looks like a spider slowly walks out of the cave, and the male protagonist realizes that this is the object of love in his dream...
Tips: This film has a lot of passionate scenes, students under the age of 18 should watch it with their parents.
8. Good Hunting
The story takes place in a Chinese village at the beginning of the 20th century, when Liang, a young demon slayer, and Xianyan, a little fox who can transform, become friends. After his father died, Liang left the village and came to the world of steampunk - Hong Kong.
By chance, the two meet again, and Yan, who has lost her mana, can only make a living by bewitching men by her beauty. Then one night, she was ruthlessly transformed into a mechanical sex slave by the Governor.
The old mana disappeared, and the machine became the new magic. Liang used the machine to make Yan again in the shape of a fox, able to run and hunt over the city.
When cyberpunk meets ancient China, the style of painting is unique and the mechanical sense is full.
9. The Dump
A city inspector persuaded the old man Dave to move out of his house in the junkyard, but the old man refused to sign.
He told the inspector that there was a monster in the junkyard. Anyone who tries to leave and destroy it will be eaten. The inspector disagreed, and then tragedy struck...
Maybe this is a story similar to "Youth Pie". The monster will not eat the old man, because he may be the old man himself, and his obsession with leaving makes him kill his friends and the reckless intruder. (Of course, this may be just a quirk)
10. Shape-Shifters
In the U.S. Marine Corps, there are two powers who can transform into werewolves, and they are close friends with each other (maybe more than that...)
In Afghanistan, they must fight their own kind.
They made illustrious military exploits for the U.S. military, but were discriminated against in the military camp.
At the end of the story, Tucker left the barracks that bound him with the body of his partner.
11. Helping Hand
An astronaut has an accident in space.
With no one to support, she could only lend a helping hand to herself.
Very good visual effects, combined with the appropriate rhythm of the background music, create an individual's loneliness and despair in the face of the emptiness of the universe.
12. Fish Night
Two salesmen are trapped in the desert, and when night falls, they find that this is not an ordinary desert night.
The style of the old-fashioned American comics is quite charming, and many scenes remind people of the national comic "Big Fish and Begonia".
Desert Wonderful Night
In the end, the male protagonist seemed to "die" in the wonderful night.
13. Lucky 13
A pilot recalled that her old friend, the old-fashioned fighter plane number 13, accompanied her in countless battles and won every battle.
In the dark, one person and one machine give birth to fetters, like a mechanical soul.
The final ending was quite touching. In order to save her life, No. 13 remained on the battlefield forever.
Tips: In the West, 13 is an unlucky number . The last supper is on the 13th. Judas who betrayed Jesus was the 13th person to attend the dinner. 13 brought suffering to Jesus, which means misfortune.
14. Zima Blue
The world-renowned artist Zima prepares to release his last work after inviting female reporter Claire to interview him, to which he tells about his past.
It turns out that the famous Zima was originally a little robot that wiped pool tiles, and Zima blue was the color of the tile he first saw.
At the end of the story, Qima chose to decompose himself and restore it to the original little robot, focusing on a simple thing to gain happiness.
This is a rather existential story. The rough lines dissolve the visual impact and highlight the philosophical speculation. After giving up the form, what is existence?
15. Blindspot
A swarm of robots trying to rob a chip gets a fatal blow.
In the nick of time, a robot chose to self-destruct to destroy the enemy, and when it finally got the chip, only one person was left alive.
When the only remaining robot was wounded by the corpse of the companion, the nanny car came, and the consciousness of the dead companion had been re-engraved and could be "resurrected" at any time.
16. Ice Age
A couple moves into a new apartment and finds an antique refrigerator.
The two accidentally discovered that there were miniature human civilization hidden in the refrigerator, origin, development, war, destruction...
The story is not new, but the video presentation of "seeing and being seen" is not interesting.
Tips: This film is the only episode with a real person appearing
17. Alternate Histories
There is an APP that allows users to modify the historical facts that have occurred and simulate the subsequent historical process. In the released demonstration, it demonstrates the impact of Hitler's six ways of death on the world process .
The short film is full of banter and absurdity , showing a strong style of black humor .
Deconstructing the classics .
18. Secret War
A team of Red Army fighters battled a group of monsters in the Siberian snow, with heavy casualties.
Ironically, these monsters are themselves (different factions) summoned from hell using ancient black magic .
At the end of the story, the officer let his son go, detonating the explosives and the monster to die.
This episode is quite politically metaphorical.
Eighteen stories with different styles, the longest is less than fifteen minutes, and the shortest is less than eight minutes, but they are impressive. They seem to be left blank and come to an abrupt end at the right place, leaving the audience with infinite space for reverie.
