Chapter 109 Comic Barrage (Part 2) Save...
System: [Do you know? The comments section says you have that kind of beauty, strength and misery. ]
Chu Xiuyan said shyly: "Me? I also want a new persona, something trendy. I want to be a trendy guy."
And...he thought Brother Shuiguai's script was funny, so he didn't really want to take it.
Ding Dong, Ding Dong, no? The all too familiar music suddenly sounded.
The caller ID that popped up on the phone screen gave him a sudden start.
——[Dear Mother]
He quickly straightened his back, adjusted his sitting position, and pressed the call button with full readiness. A familiar and gentle voice came from the other side, which seemed to pull him back from a distant world in an instant.
"Dear, have you? Do you miss your mother?"
Chu Xiuyan was in a daze for a while, then he reacted very quickly and caught some ominous atmosphere from this short conversation. He followed his intuition and softened his voice to pretend to be obedient. Fortunately, they were communicating through the phone, and the other party did not find anything unusual. He just asked some simple questions about daily life, and after confirming that everything was normal, he went straight to the point.
"Xiaoyan, you know that mom has always been very open-minded and tolerant. It doesn't matter if you have a boyfriend, or even if you fall in love with something that is unacceptable in normal society. Mom respects your choice as long as it doesn't harm others. It's okay if you are not indecisive... So, what do you think in this one month?"
Chu Xiuyan: “…”
His scalp tingled.
What? What love interest?
Could it be because he was hit by a car and sent to the hospital at the beginning of college, and he hadn't contacted his family for a while, so some family member started to make up stories to discredit his innocence? !
"Is that so? Mom, I have been... a little busy recently, but it is definitely not because of love!"
The mother was still gentle and soft: "Is it some little secret that can be told to the elders?"
"These are some big secrets that cannot be told to anyone." Chu Xiuyan said seriously.
There was silence on the other side for a while, and the voice that sounded again was still as gentle as before? "Okay, Mommy doesn't want to find out what you are doing? What kind of bad family is this with a strong desire for control? Head, since Xiaoyan is so determined, Mommy doesn't want to find out anything... There is only one thing, dear child, listen carefully, no matter what happens, your own safety and happiness are the first priority, understand?"
"Don't worry, mom. This is my life motto!"
The system quietly muttered: [So happiness comes first, no? Heart? No? Lungs? This is how they are raised...]
Chu Xiuyan hummed for a while, but found that the call was not over. The other side seemed to be quiet for a while, and vaguely heard the beep of hanging up, and then the mother's voice sounded again, but with some gnashing of teeth.
"Dear, your poor mother was framed again? The guy hung up the phone... Seven times in ten days, and finally he even turned off the phone. What a cold-hearted person."
Chu Xiuyan: “……?”
The voice on the other end suddenly lowered, becoming dangerous and cold, "Xiao Yan, go and kick open your uncle's lab, ask him to start the video call, come over and explain to me in person, face to face."
Chu Xiuyan burst into laughter instantly: “Hahahahahahaha… ahem, I mean, okay, dear mom, please rest assured, I will complete the task within three days!”
The voice on the other side softened a little, "Xiaoyan is indeed the cutest... So what is three days?"
Chu Xiuyan said with a hint of joking: "Because? Tomorrow your brave son will go to save the world!"
The voice coming through the screen was still gentle, with a slight smile.
"So, great hero, when you are saving the world, you must remember to eat on time, or you will catch a cold. Also, remember to go home quickly when you are in danger and discuss with your mother how to solve the crisis."
…
The call ends.
The system turned on the host who suddenly fell into a daze and said: [I am beginning to be curious about your father. ]
Chu Xiuyan came back to his senses, [Ah, that guy, he's digging for oil in Africa, can you tell him about it? ]
[…Why? Why are we digging for oil in Africa? ]
Did Chu Xiuyan reply? He just opened the comic app and prepared to continue reading comics.
His fingertips stopped at the cover picture of the third episode. It had a strange scarlet background and a side view of a young man facing one light and one dark. Comments kept popping up, full of pleasant surprises and all kinds of wild guesses.
He lay softly on the sofa, raised his phone and continued to flip through the pages, saying casually, "Actually, I'm on a business trip. I often fly around the world."
The system suddenly remembered something and sighed: [So you really have a harmonious family. I always thought you were lying to me.]
[…That’s too much.]
Chu Xiuyan complained and began to focus on the content of the comics.
The first half of the third episode is similar to what he actually experienced, except that the perspective moves back and forth between Bo Qu and "Yun Yan".
The system's observation range covers the entire base, so it naturally knows that Bai Qu secretly poisoned and killed Captain Xiong.
Poisoning, detonating bombs, and ruthlessly killing everyone in the base as a tool, he is a dangerous person who perfectly interprets cunning and viciousness. However, because Chu Xiuyan had previously created a "teacher-student relationship" and added that fashionable personality, most of the comments on Bo Qu were "three views follow the five senses, and in real life, you call the police uncle"? This kind of playful words.
In short, judging from the plot alone, this part of the content adopts a two-line simultaneous approach.
On one side, Bo Qu was talking to Captain Xiong in the base with ease and was secretly plotting a murder. He seemed gentle and friendly, but in fact, he was making sinister thoughts one after another, so dark that they almost overflowed the screen.
On one side is the hooded young man working hard to dig a tunnel under the base. In the blank space of the frame, there is a miniature underground maze map, with crooked and densely packed passages. It is obvious that the workload is huge, just like a small miner who is oppressed.
Barrage: [Cloud boy, remember to wear a helmet! ! ]
[Okay, now I don't like Mr. Cricket anymore. He actually forced Yunzai to be a miner. Damn it!]
[Wuwuwu, kid, we don’t want this teacher anymore, okay? This cricket is so naughty, let’s go back to uncle (wipes eyes? tears)…]
Ah, because? The perspective moves back and forth, so it is easy to connect Boqu's plan with Yunyan's actions, which means it is easy for readers to mistakenly believe? He dug the tunnel under Boqu's instructions... This? Is a perfect information gap hint!
As the chief writer, Chu Xiuyan became proud again.
The next plot is that Bai Qu successfully poisoned the person, tried to escape, and then was blocked in the square by Zai Zhe.
The picture is divided into two shots, one is Bo Qu who, facing Zai Zhe's obstruction, reluctantly admits that his plan has failed, and the other is the hooded young man who successfully steals an egg through an underground tunnel.
'The plan was a success.'
In the comics, the boy who pushed the egg and rolled it madly in the tunnel thought to himself.
The barrage of comments made people imagine themselves in a crazy way and made themselves feel better.
[I understand! Teacher Cricket wants this egg! He is responsible for attracting enemy firepower on the surface, but in fact, he wants to give Yunzai enough time to steal the egg... Yunzai is the real executor of his plan! ]
【I see! 】
[I don’t know what to say for a moment. Wow, this is already a lot of trust, isn’t it? No wonder Yunzai is shaken. For him, the past experience may be a burden, but isn’t it also some happy moments that make people happy…]
[Is the cover picture hinting at this? The cloud flame that sank into the darkness of the past, and now that is facing the light...]
[Ah, it’s just me, Aba Aba, who simply thinks it’s cute to see Cloud Cub pushing an egg around in the underground maze?
[(Whispering) That egg that can grow legs and run is also very cute 23333]
Chu Xiuyan raised the corner of his mouth, chuckled strangely and continued to turn the pages.
On the next page, the comic clearly depicts the scene of Bo Qu being surrounded by many red-robed believers. The situation is tense and tense, and Bo Qu's reaction is also contrary to what the readers expected, weird and inexplicable.
He said, "You guys were fooled by him, and of course I was too..."
"What a clever but cunning liar, huh?"
The camera focused on the green-haired stranger's suddenly opened golden eyes, the sharpness and coldness in them were clearly visible, and even the readers across the screen could sense a little.
And? In the next scene, the camera suddenly turned, outside the base full of desert, the hooded young man pushed his eggs and struggled to get out of the tunnel, and then stretched his body, pressed the back of his neck and looked in the direction of Base No. 23, the pair of black pupils under the brim of his hat showed a slight smile, and then it became more and more obvious, and even made a strange laugh.
“Oh my, this? This is really…”
This sentence was not finished. The next scene zoomed out, showing the suddenly collapsed Base 23 from the perspective of the young man. The thick dust and the raised yellow sand merged together, almost covering the entire sky. The strong airflow even swept over the young man who was hundreds of meters away, blowing off his hood and revealing his special half-black and half-white hair color.
And that face that was clearly unable to suppress its smile.
Barrage: [? ? ? ]
[Wait, what does this smile mean? ]
【ah? ? 】
[The microscope and magnifying glass team has been killed! Where is the analysis boss——]
[Are Yunzai and Baiqu? In the same group? Did he want the egg himself? ? Then he accidentally (intentionally?) disrupted Baiqu's actions, causing him to be besieged by the Red Dress Cult? ? ]
[Wait, isn’t that right? Right, is that——]
【Narrative trick? ? ! !】
[How could Yunzai be so smart——? ! (I don’t believe it!!)]
Chu Xiuyan saw this comment and was filled with question marks. "Too much! I can be very smart sometimes!"
Not yet? When readers reacted, the next development in the comics gave them goosebumps.
The camera zoomed out to show the entire Base 23 in the picture. The dust in the sky gradually receded, replaced by dark red clouds. The sky was dark, and then scarlet lines appeared one by one.
They condensed and entangled into nearly a hundred-meter-long, crooked thick lines in the high-altitude clouds. When the blood rain began to fall, thousands of lines twisted strangely, and then a crack appeared in the middle and suddenly opened - it was a huge scarlet eye.
It hung high in the clouds, looking down at everything in the world coldly and arrogantly, without any emotional fluctuations, with black eyeballs, scarlet pupils, and countless twisted lines swimming around like dried blood, weird and terrifying.
The scarlet eye in the picture is so huge that when you look up from Base 23, you may only see a scarlet cloud.
——This? This is the scene observed by the system, and? Chu Xiuyan was outside the base at that time?, and he only saw a scarlet cloud.
However, in the scenes presented in the comics, the system weakened the sense of abnormality and weirdness, and amplified the sense of oppression brought by the scarlet eyes.
In other words, the comic camera is depicted from behind the young man, with an overall upward perspective. The young man has his back to the screen, with only his back, and the collapsed Base 23 that occupies almost half of the frame, the blood rain that is dripping, and... the giant scarlet eyes that fill the top of the screen.
In the comic, the young man seemed to be staring silently into the scarlet eyes.
Barrage: [Ahhhhhhhhhh]
[My san value is about to drop——]
[This? What is this?! Oh my god! ! ]
[Gigantophobia strikes me, sob sob sob]
[This? This scene is quite interesting, that scarlet eye? is staring at the protagonist...]
“God is watching”
[Hey, Chou Chou, don't look at it, Yunzai]
Chu Xiuyan sighed, "Who would have thought? I really thought at that time that the Desert God was just that chatterbox, silly and sweet, but it turns out there's a bigger one hiding in the clouds."
System: [After all, he is a "God". 】
Chu Xiuyan held his chin in his hand, didn't say anything else, and his attention returned to the comics.
At this point, we are almost at the end of the third chapter, and as the camera turns to the base, that is, after the focus of the subsequent plot is placed on Zai Zhe and his surroundings, the words spoken by the miniature scarlet eye are directly exposed to the readers.
"Congratulations! You are about to enter the real world!"
"Please kill yourself, what are you worrying about?"
"Humanity's self-proclaimed firm beliefs are nothing compared to true evolution."
"...ridiculous persistence, obviously...you are walking with God."
And the one who was constantly bewitched by the scarlet eyes was Zai Zhe, who was holding the hilt of the knife and was exposed in the scarlet blood rain.
The blood-red rain soaked his hair and clothes, almost dyeing his entire body red, emitting some kind of abnormal and strange aura.
Barrage: [No? ——]
【What? What?! What do you mean?!】
[Coffin brother! You haven't? Sold 100 million coffins, you? Can there be any problem——]
[The evolution of life... No? Right? This? Bloody? Eye? Was? Also? A? Human? ? ]
[Cloud boy! Cloud boy, come to the rescue! There is a lunchbox here that needs to be kicked——]
Chu Xiuyan held his chin and looked at this scene, "Zai Zhe's highlight scene... Hey system, where is the character interrupting?"
System: [? Then you have to give me the composition first.]
[Okay, okay... I'll ask them what positions they like when the time comes.]
