Chapter 83 Forum (does not affect the main plot)
Defectors or a third force?
Shi Xu held his chin in his hand, and followed the public comments with the initial account he registered, then clicked on the link sent from above and entered another post.
"Discovery from the microscope~~Unknown details about the protagonists by Brother Bai Zhou~~ (love) (love)"
"?"
The moment he saw the title, he fell silent.
The fingertips stayed in the air for a long time without moving. The light ball nudged him puzzledly and cast a questioning look at him.
"What's wrong with you?" The light ball scanned the post, trying to find something that could give Shi Xu a "silence buff". "Is there something wrong with this post? Ah, why does this title look weird? It has a temperament that other posts don't have."
"No, nothing."
Shi Xu smiled and scrolled down, leaving the □□ title behind.
"I'm just a little sleepy. Let's continue."
"Author: Hello everyone, this is a post with a lot of personal opinions, and may contain some remarks that expose the author's mental state. If there are any inaccuracies, it is purely fictional, and all interpretation rights belong to the cartoonist!"
"2L: The moment I saw the title, I knew this would be an extraordinary post, damn it."
"3L: My hand clicked in uncontrollably!"
"4L: (browse the forum) (take a glimpse) (swipe past) (swipe back after a moment of silence) (click in)"
"OP: Ahem! Anyway, I have already felt everyone's enthusiasm! So today, let's talk about this little thing about Bai Zhou brother here~"
"The author: I am one of those ordinary people who likes to nitpick and look at spiritual food with a microscope. I always like to find what I want to eat from the details. Therefore, after I found the comic book "Doomsday", I was kicked into the pit by the detailed expressions depicted by the cartoonist, and I couldn't extricate myself!"
"Author: I firmly believe that people like cartoonists who like to cram details into corners will never draw meaningless storyboards or expressions! So when I subconsciously felt that Bai Zhou's attitude towards the protagonists was not right, I started a crazy search mode."
…
"35L: The pre-roll is too long, bad review"
"36L: I'm so anxious, I'm so anxious, I'm so anxious, I'm so anxious"
"OP: Don't be impatient! We'll start right away! First of all, let me explain that the protagonist group we're talking about is a group of four, including Cat! Those who don't agree with Cat's protagonist theory, please press the upper left exit button!!"
"OP: The point of view expressed by the OP is very different from that of others. I think that the reason why Bai Zhou treats the protagonists differently is because of the existence of Cat!"
“38L: Huh?”
"39L: Reverse Tiangang (?)"
"40L: It is indeed very different... The current speculation about Brother Zhou and the protagonists is based on the potential of the protagonists and Brother Zhou's identity as a hidden guide. I have never heard of your suggestion that it is related to Qi Heng."
"41L: This is the first time I saw both Day and Prayer being shocked. Oh, the second time. The first time was when Day played with everyone. XD"
"OP: So this is just my guess! Don't worry, let's go with it first~"
"OP: May I ask if you have noticed one thing, that is - in the comics, Maomao and Brother Zhou have never met each other. Even during the opening ceremony, Maomao was inexplicably sleepy. Even when he heard about the supernatural props, he never raised his head. I watched it over and over again and was very sure: he never raised his head once, not even once looking at Bai Zhou."
"OP: Is this reasonable?? Mao Mao is a powerful psychic after all. How could she not even raise her head and just be sleepy after her teammates became curious about Bai Zhou?"
「56L: Hiss」
"57L: It seems... that makes sense?"
"OP: That makes sense! Let's think about it, sleepy? Unconscious? Isn't this very similar to Brother Zhou's ability? In other words, is it possible that Brother Zhou used his ability to take care of the cat, so the cat didn't stay up late at all! And the cat was no longer sleepy after leaving the stage! It was very awake when chatting with Xiaoye!"
"66L: Hmm?? That's right (dumb)"
"67L: Brother B-Ge can use his supernatural powers over a large area... It makes sense that the protagonists didn't notice it... Who would think that a big guy who has nothing to do with him would deliberately deceive someone's perception?"
「68L: Very good post, it makes my brush spin」
"OP: My intuition has been telling me since I saw these two. I firmly believe that they must be related! You see, Brother Zhou never mentioned his past, and Cat only has a dark page in his past. Plus, these two never meet due to some unknown reasons. Even the chance encounter in the corridor that the trio had, there was no scene of these two meeting!"
…
"77L: It's over. I'm a little convinced."
"78L: I came back to take a look after laying eggs. It's interesting. I'll stay here for the time being (Captain nods.jpg)"
"79L: I went back and looked it up. The trio all encountered Brother Congmang Zhou in the corridor. However, Xiaoheng was too much of a homebody and never took the initiative to go out. Therefore, the author's inference is not very tenable."
"OP: How could that be! Isn't this even more true!"
“81L:?”
"OP: This shows that Brother Zhu knows cats very well! That's why he can walk around so openly and we haven't run into each other for a whole week!!"
"82L: ... (falls)"
「83L: Grass」
"84L: So, our brother Zhou never hides his preference for the trio, but he actually does this to deceive others and prevent them from knowing the truth?"
"85L: It's really deliberate when you put it that way. Isn't it to avoid being tied together? These two popular characters haven't talked to each other yet, even though they are in the same place (thinking)"
"86L: OP, you don't have any illicit stuff in there, do you? (staring)"
"OP: What are you talking about! What are you talking about! I am an iron-blooded CB man! I haven't finished what I want to say yet! Don't you think the cartoonist put too much emphasis on this aspect and it's a bit intentional?"
"OP: Is it possible, I mean possible... that Bai Zhou is actually Mao Mao's teammate? (Pointing fingers)"
“99L:???”
“100L: Huh???”
"101L: OP, your story is even more fictional than a fictional historian, and even more outrageous than the title."
"Original Poster: Let's take a look! Let's take a look! First, in the chapter about cats, we use a microscope to magnify the dark picture and we can see some tiny changes!"
「Original poster: (screenshot.jpg)」
"OP: Please look, at the very center, we can see a little change, like a figure, very blurry but real, with a slight difference in color from the surroundings!"
"Original poster: I'll draw it for you guys to see! (Screenshot.jpg) Doesn't it look like a young man? And Bai Zhou! Exactly the same body shape as a young man!!"
…
「156L: (dementia.jpg)」
"157L: Damn, I actually had the thought 'so that's how it is'"
"158L: Don't listen to them! I've been convinced by you! Add this post to your favorites immediately (heart)"
…
"Author: Thank you, thank you everyone (wipes tears). Seeing that everyone is as dumbfounded as I was at that time, I feel relieved. Then let's continue watching - or the scene after Mao Mao suffered PTSD, the words in his memory (screenshot.jpg)"
"OP: Is the tone of these sentences very gentle? Maybe some people think this is very similar to Captain Lin's tone, but in fact, there is another person in the comics who once had this gentle tone -"
"198L: Is it daytime...? (Unsure)"
"199L: It's daytime! (Confirmed)"
"200L: It's daytime! (repeat)"
"OP: That's right! It's Bai Zhou! As everyone knows, our Brother Bai Zhou has no secret of his love for the trio, and his preference can even be described as unbridled. When Brother Bai Zhou talked to the trio, his tone was the exact opposite of the gentleness when he talked to others!"
“220L: Damn!”
"OP: It is these details, these seemingly unrelated yet actually connected feelings, that make the OP firmly believe that there must be a connection between Brother Zhou and the cat! They have opened up a whole new track among all the tracks!"
"OP: How can you be sure that there is no connection between these two characters! How dare you point to my evidence and say there is no reason! How dare you say that my ideas are all bullshit! Even if Brother Zhou is not Mao's dead teammate, they are not strangers!"
"OP: (Too heart-wrenching howl)"
「224L: A little scared」
…
…
“332L: Damn it, stop crying, the manga has been updated!!”
"333L: What?? It's updated so soon!!"
"334L: Let me take a look, I will tell you the answer when I return."
…
…
“400L: I’ve finished watching… Ahhhh, the cat has been fished out but is still dizzy. And why is there an energy body setting? Could it be a knife?!”
"401L: Although, this doesn't match the original poster's guess. Brother Zhou favored the trio purely because of their excellent potential. It has nothing to do with the cat."
"402L: Yes, but the protagonists are the winners! That's great, but the cats didn't receive the award together this time, what a pity..."
「403L: “This tells me that all my efforts are not in vain. So please keep going, even if the road ahead is full of thorns and blood. "These are Bai Zhou's original words. Really, he is completely the guide of the protagonist group. I think he himself is also the hidden protagonist."
…
"456L: I see the OP has gone mad naturally, is there an administrator who can help me? I feel like vomiting blood just watching this."
"457L: Why is there no one here?"
"458L: Hey, why is the host missing? (scratching head)"
"459L: It happened later, right? The comic has been updated, didn't you know? The author was going crazy just now, and I was about to believe it, but suddenly a bunch of people came and started to refute it."
"460L: After all this time, you have finished reading it, right? Has your faith in your heart collapsed?"
…
"OP: Collapse? What collapse?"
"OP: It's impossible for it to collapse!! Anything that stands in my way will only make me more determined!!!"
"523L: Damn, it's on fire."
"524L: Host, the microphone is yours, please speak——"
"OP: Isn't this more evidence? Please watch the VCR - (screenshot.jpg) (screenshot.jpg), look at the nostalgic look in Bai Zhou's eyes."
"OP: Look at the eyes of the cat in the Mountain God dungeon again (screenshot.jpg). Doesn't it look very similar? Does it look familiar?"
"OP: They are all reminiscing about their former teammates through the same person!!!"
"OP: (An even more twisted and dark howl)"
“538L: ………”
"539L: Are you okay, host..."
…
…
「666L:6」

This post is over.
Shi Xu smiled happily as he moved his fingertips lightly. For a moment, he didn't even bother to care about such an explosive title and simply added it to his collection.
The ball of light floated away silently. After reading this post, it had the illusion that someone sprayed saliva on its face out of thin air, and it couldn't help but admire the mental state of humans in another world.
I hope that after learning the truth, the poster will not split his cyber throat.
Comics have always been updated in real time, with the light ball being drawn as the plot progresses. In order to comfort readers who had not received any spiritual food for a week, they only fished for one night and then directly released the content of the "closing ceremony" as an Easter egg, which also served as the conclusion of the first stage.
Therefore, the current progress of the comics stops at the scene where Bai Day bids farewell to the protagonists. In other words, the progress of reality and comics are unified.
In the forum, there are many different speculations about Bai Zhou. Whether it is the "celibacy theory" or the "past theory", both have their own reasons. The appearance of "Gentle Daytime" in this update made most people completely believe the comic positioning inferred by the big boss - the protagonist and the guide.
The light ball painting skills exploded, and "Doomsday" added another popular picture. I didn’t expect that a short story with an Easter egg would attract another group of readers, which was a pleasant surprise.
"I never thought that you would become an emoticon one day." The light ball looked at the pictures flying in front of him, and he gloated undisguisedly.
Shi Xu opened his eyes and glanced at the title of the unscrupulous poster.
"Shocked! Why did Brother B show such an expression? Is it OOC or is there another hidden secret? Click to see the details! hot"
In fact, I was just shocked by the actions of the protagonists.
"Forget it." Shi Xu spread his hands, deciding not to disturb the readers' enthusiasm. He simply closed the forum and fell back on the sofa. "But... a guide?"
It's been so long.
He raised his hand and stared at the fair skin through his fingers, which seemed to make the skin look unreal.
The originally empty and deserted space now has a lot of furniture. Every inch of it is a relaxing atmosphere and something related to yourself.
Along with the initially blank plan, most of the gaps were filled, and the castle in the air was built out of thin air, with a real touch.
Suddenly, one realizes that the world has changed because of oneself.
"ha."
His eyelashes trembled suddenly, Shi Xu closed his eyes, and a smile escaped from the corner of his lips.
"Indeed... he is a guide."
——
At the same time, in an unnoticed corner, a post suddenly appeared and was pushed to the hot zone belatedly.
The poster is an old ID who has never made any comments and is a new face in the forum.
"Hello everyone, as the title suggests, this is a post about daylight. I am just a reader who wants to express my views. I hope you will not be too harsh on me."
"2L: Feel free to speak up, this forum is for everyone to do as they please. If anyone dares to scold you, I will scold them back (heart)"
"3L: I have been reading dozens of posts for more than a day, some of them are simply outrageous, the original poster is bold to say"
"OP: Actually, from the first time I saw Bai Zhou, I felt that this was a character destined to be stabbed. Even his core is actually tragic."
"Author: To be honest, the story of Cat and Daytime is really dramatic. One is a teenager, the other is a young man; one is still immature after losing his friend, while the other has already been shaped by all kinds of experiences; one meets the protagonists and forms a new bond, while the other is alone and has no one to accompany him. Two completely different people, but they are looking for the past in the same person, but one looks forward, while the other looks back."
"4L: Ah... Indeed."
"5L: Although Bai Zhou is the strongest fighter in the comics, he is actually just a young man, right? He is about the same age as Captain Hayashi."
"OP: That's true, but no one is born with all the skills and abilities. Before Bai Zhou appeared, no one had even heard of his name. This is too abnormal for a powerful psychic. This must be a hidden bomb buried by the cartoonist."
"Author: Although Bai Zhou's image in the comics has always been at ease, and his disregard for the lives of others has brought many famous scenes, but from the details we can know that he has always been invisible and does not participate in interpersonal communication. He only appears at critical moments, like a phantom hidden in the dark."
"OP: I wonder if you still remember the fire in the circus dungeon. That was the first place where Bai Zhou appeared. He leaned against the wall as usual, without a smile on his face, and looked at the burning fire calmly and indifferently. That was the time when he was most far from reality. He had no way of hiding his sense of separation from the world, which allowed me to glimpse a hint of his underlying color under his mask."
"6L:! I have all the pictures from the daytime, I remember this scene (screenshot.jpg) (screenshot.jpg)"
"7L: I didn't know that I could feel this way... I thought that person's face was so pretty, I was just staring at him (closed my eyes)"
"8L: I feel like the OP is a person with strong empathy"
「Original poster: Haha, I am indeed (wool cat rolling.jpg)」
"OP: I don't know what Bai Zhou has been through, to have experienced all kinds of human life at such a young age. Whenever he looks at the protagonists, there is a hint of nostalgia in his eyes. He may have a different view of the protagonists, but it's like he is silently remembering the existence that has passed away, maybe himself, maybe his disciples, maybe his friends, anyway, they have all turned to dust with the passage of time. The past is the past after all, he has been a person for a long time, and he will be one in the future."
"OP: After all, compared to the cartoonist letting Bai Zhou integrate into the human world, I believe that he will be the indispensable chess piece for the end of the doomsday. In the new update, Bai Zhou and the protagonists had their first face-to-face conversation, and the protagonists finally expressed their gratitude. At that moment, I seemed to be able to feel a momentary tremor in his heart, and even his expression was uncharacteristic."
"OP: The protagonists' thanks were like saying goodbye to him, thanking him for remembering them and all his unknown efforts. What I liked most was his back as he turned around, because the vague sense of loss on his body finally dissipated, and he completely let go of the past. Even though I couldn't see his face, I could guess that there must be a look of relief and a genuine smile on his face."
"OP: I don't know Bai Zhou's youth, but from his waving goodbye, I caught a glimpse of his high-spirited figure across time."
"OP: A guide, a guide, how can he not count? What a standard person he is, giving everything for his ideals, and dying calmly after achieving his long-cherished wish. The protagonists' thanks severed his last ties, so he no longer has any scruples."
