Writers Association.

The Chairman's Office.

"Bang!"

A valuable Yixing teapot was smashed to the ground and shattered into pieces.

Wang Shouyi's chest heaved violently.

His face turned from blue to purple.

My hand, which was pointing at the computer screen, was shaking uncontrollably.

On the screen is the book review section for "Human World is Like a Prison".

The top-rated comment,

[Hahaha, Wang Shouyi: I need to criticize you! Author: Received, I'll assign you a role right away. Wang Shouyi is dead.]

"This is outrageous! This is outrageous!"

I wonder when he has ever suffered such a humiliation in his entire life?

He has been criticized before, too.

But never before has there been such a mocking and malicious way of doing things!

The author, known as the "Dream Weaver of Hell," didn't even engage in debate with him.

Instead, he wrote about him directly in the book, in the most absurd and humiliating way.

Publicly executed in front of the entire online readership!

Vice Chairman Gu Songran stood aside, at a loss, wanting to offer advice but not daring to.

He looked at Wang Shouyi, who was trembling with anger.

I glanced again at the endless stream of "Professor He" emojis (Wang Shouyi's Q-version avatar) on the screen.

His Adam's apple bobbed as he forcefully suppressed the laughter that welled up inside him.

This has blown up way too much.

Chairman Wang wanted to use others as a negative example, but ended up becoming the biggest laughing stock himself.

Wang Shouyi's eyes were bloodshot, and his fists were clenched tightly.

"The Dream Weaver of Hell..."

I don't care who you are, I'm not done with you!

...

Jiangcheng No.1 Middle School.

Grade 11 (3)

"Hahaha! Brother Que! Look at this!"

Professor He rushed towards the ghost while holding the "Ode to Righteousness," with the caption, "I'm going to deliver it!"

Below that was a smaller line of text: "Knowledge cannot change destiny, but it can change how you die!"

Wu Di laughed so hard his whole body was twitching, and he shoved his phone screen right in front of Lin Que.

Lin Que glanced at it lazily.

On the phone, a simple line drawing of a little person was photoshopped with Wang Shouyi's portrait on it.

He charged righteously toward a dark figure, a scene that was utterly comical.

"Hmm, that's quite creative."

Lin Que commented.

"It's more than just creative!"

Wu Di lowered his voice, his face flushed with excitement.

"This meme is being used all over the internet now."

That Wang Shouyi is completely finished!

The dream weaver's skills are amazing! What do you call this? The revenge of intellectuals!

Lin Que withdrew his gaze, lay down on the table, and acted as if it were none of his business.

Shen Qingqiu stood at the back door of the classroom, taking in everything.

She certainly saw the chapter about "ghosts not reading poetry" as well.

I also saw the overwhelming discussion online.

As a Chinese language teacher

She understood the biting satire better than anyone else.

On the one hand, she had to admit that

This approach of responding to controversy through the work itself...

It was truly brilliant, even possessing an artistic quality of effortless mastery.

On the other hand, this blatant mockery of authority also made her feel a chill.

This rebellious spirit is so similar to that of the boy in "Firefly" who questions the sun.

She increasingly felt that Lin Que was being deeply influenced by the book "Human World is Like a Prison".

He's like a giant sponge.

They were frantically absorbing those dark, rebellious ideas.

Then, using their talents, they transformed it into something even more destructive.

This thought filled her with a deep sense of unease.

Just then, the school bell rang.

As soon as Shen Qingqiu stepped onto the podium, the dean of students knocked on the door and peeked in:

"Teacher Shen, the principal wants Lin Que to go to his office."

The eyes of the entire class instantly focused on Lin Que.

headmaster?

This matter actually alarmed the principal?
