Suffer the consequences
[…Sheng Pingsha and I were college classmates and roommates at first, and we kept in touch after graduation. However, not long after graduation, my cavalier syndrome suddenly worsened, and my mental state was extremely bad. I wrote a story to relieve the pain. At this time, at a dormitory party, Sheng Pingsha saw the framework I was writing and was very impressed. He proposed to work with me to turn it into a dream-building work.]
[At that time, Sheng Pingsha was already a little famous, but I was still a nobody. I was even in such a bad state that I couldn't even log in to the Star Network. But even so, I still insisted on completing most of the work.]
Main galaxy, capital star.
“Pfft…cough, cough, cough!”
Ao Qingxue choked up when she saw the trending search, "What did I see? Sheng Pingsha plagiarized the work? How come such a big melon was only revealed today?!"
She used a proxy account to browse the Exile Galaxy website, and because there were too many clicks, it even became stuck for a while.
[I must admit that Sheng Pingsha’s support gave me a lot of motivation. If it weren’t for him, I might not have the confidence to continue.]
[Later, I gradually felt that the story was complete and my wish was fulfilled, so I no longer cared about other things. The popularity of "The Moonlit River" exceeded my expectations, but I chose to reduce my exposure at that time. Sheng Pingsha may have sensed this, so he gradually claimed "The Moonlit River" as his own in the publicity. And out of gratitude, although I felt uncomfortable, I acquiesced to his move. ]
[Later, I met my current lover. With her support, I found Sheng Pingsha and made three agreements with him. I could give him all the profits from "The Moonlit River" and the original work, but he could no longer use the story framework of "The Moonlit River" to adapt IP, make sequels to it, or use the name of "The Moonlit River" to promote his own stories.]
[I will marry my lover and retire from the entertainment industry. As long as he meets the above requirements, I will not come out to expose myself...]
"So that's how it is!" Ao Qingxue suddenly realized.
You know, Sheng Pingsha can give people the impression of "being as quiet as a chrysanthemum, not fighting or competing", which is largely due to the fact that he never remakes "Moonlight River". Unlike many other dream builders who have run out of ideas, they will spoil their most popular works in the past, use old protagonists to pave the way for new protagonists, and make random adaptations to ruin the original works, and in the end even the fans of the works can't stand it.
To put it simply, Sheng Pingsha's approach is more respectful, as he has retained some dignity for both the original work and his current self.
But now after seeing Lin Yuemian's words, Ao Qingxue finally understood that it was not that Sheng Pingsha didn't want to ruin it, but that he couldn't!
Also, no wonder Sheng Pingsha changed the inn in the show. The original male protagonist only appeared for a short while. The original story of the human flesh inn should have been written by him. After all, he didn't dare to use the core of "The Moonlit River" directly. He wanted to touch the edge and stick to the horror hotspot, so he made it look like it is now.
[I didn't expect that you didn't use the framework of "The Moonlit River" or adapt it, but you still managed to change it completely and disgust the original audience. I didn't think of this in the contract back then, which was really a mistake made in my haste.]
[Sheng Pingsha and I are collaborators, and I have no intention of denying his work. I do remember his help to me back then. But sometimes I also want to ask, why have you, Mr. Sheng, been able to deny my work with a clear conscience for so many years?]
[Actually, when I saw your performance in "Star River Wandering Kitchen", I hadn't yet made up my mind to stand out.]
[But later, I was so disappointed and shocked by a series of other things about you that my incident was nothing in comparison. I think I have an obligation to correct the mistakes I made in the past, which is why I made this statement today.]
Ao Qingxue noticed the new breaking point and was a little confused: "Are there other things? They even make this thing look like nothing?"
This incident was already very explosive. Ao Qingxue couldn't imagine what other evil deeds Sheng Pingsha had done that would anger God and man.
[Due to my illness, I have the habit of monitoring myself. All the above statements are supported by audio. ]
[Mr. Sheng, please apologize to me and quit the dream builder circle. I will give you three days to think about it. If you can't do it by then, I will consider taking legal action.]
Lin Yuemian had been quiet for so many years, but when she finally came out, she was no vague melon-monger. At the end of her post, a large number of compressed file packages were attached.
Ao Qingxue unzipped it and opened it. It was organized in chronological order and categorized into different categories, proving the truthfulness of what Lin Yuemian said and convicting Sheng Pingsha completely.
She forwarded it with a [shocked] expression, and in just a short while, the number of comments and reposts had reached a terrifying number.
[What did I see? Director Lin is back? ]
[WTF, Director Lin revealed that Sheng Pingsha took the credit for him? ]
[After reading it word for word, I feel a little dizzy now. So, "Moonlit River" is not actually the work of Sheng Pingsha at all? ]
[So there was such a hidden story behind Lin Yuemian's retirement? 】
[Ah, I suddenly remembered something. In a previous interview, a reporter asked Sheng Pingsha about the creative ideas of the male lead of "Under the Moon". He was stunned on the spot and finally perfunctorily answered "keep it a secret". Now that I think about it, he couldn't say it at all! ]
[I always feel that "The Moonlit River" is like a ray of light in a difficult situation for me. It has the power to soothe my heart and inspire me to move forward. I also said that I admire Sheng Pingsha for having such empathy in a smooth life... Now everything is clear. It turns out that it was created by Director Lin in his pain. 】
[Sheng Pingsha is actually such a person! I have liked him for so many years! ]
[…This is the first time that a house has collapsed on me! I’m vomiting. Sheng Pingsha, get out of the dream builder circle and the entertainment industry!]
[I listened to the audio and supported Lin Yuemian's rights protection! Such a villain should not have the status he has today! ]
V066, backstage of the program team.
After Sheng Pingsha finished reading the video on the computer, he felt dizzy and couldn't stand for a moment. His vision went black. The editor saw this and quickly supported him, but he staggered and fell onto the sofa.
He didn't expect that Lin Yuemian would actually speak out and make the matter so final!
Didn't this person quit the circle a long time ago? Didn't he never take care of things?
He just borrowed a small setting from "Moonlit River" in the restaurant, and he won't use it again after his comeback, but he actually wants to stop it!
Sheng Pingsha's lips trembled for a while, and he stood up suddenly, picked up the laptop again, and found the contact information that he hadn't touched for many years.
Ding—the call was connected.
When such a big thing happened, his first reaction was to blame others: "Lin Yuemian, didn't you say that the audios from that year had been deleted?! It turns out that you lied to me when you made the agreement with me before!"
Sheng Pingsha turned the tables, and the other party was silent for a while before saying, "I will also leave myself a way out."
"Your retreat is forcing me to death!" Sheng Pingsha pretended to be sincere and cried, "Lao Lin, can you delete the post? I still have the dream of being a dream builder, I..."
Another cool and elegant female voice interrupted and said, "Yuemian, why are you talking to him so much? You should have done this a long time ago."
She took the call and said calmly, "Sheng Pingsha, stop pretending. Understand that you are the one who let my lover down, and my lover made the agreement with you out of soft-heartedness."
"Yuemian's demands will not change. Unless you announce your retirement, we'll see you in court."
There was a busy tone and the call was hung up.
Sheng Pingsha held the laptop tightly, his hands shaking.
It's over. It's all over.
His new work and his unfinished comeback plan are all going to be ruined!
"Why? Why?!"
He didn't dare to read the comments on Starnet. He yelled and threw everything in the guest room to the floor, his face grim. "You are such a genius, it's just a work, why can't you give it to me!?"
The ground was a mess. The editor didn't dare to approach him. He stood at the wall in a panic for a while, then looked down at his laptop. All his work groups were in chaos, but he didn't click on any of them. He just wanted to find a lawyer.
I was also involved in what happened back then, will he be affected?
Sheng Pingsha was like a trapped beast in a cage. He circled around the room furiously for several times, then suddenly stopped and grabbed the mental linker.
Shang Jingyan must be very proud now, right? Seeing him in trouble, she must be very happy! He wanted to see if she could still smile when her chef got into trouble! ?
Sheng Pingsha has become increasingly mad, and only wants to drag one more person into trouble before he gets into trouble.
He entered the spiritual realm and triggered the information pollution package again, and the thought of attacking arose again in his sea of consciousness -
"ah!!"
After hearing a scream, the editor saw Sheng Pingsha suddenly wake up and curl up with his head in his hands.
"What's wrong?" The editor saw him fall off the chair, rolling on the ground, his face pale with fear, and hurried to support him.
One wave of troubles has not yet subsided when another comes. He can no longer withstand the slightest disturbance.
Sheng Pingsha's eyes were distorted, and he felt an excessive amount of information rushing into his mind, images, sounds, text... If his mental picture was compared to a cup of water, then now it was like a surging tide pouring into the cup in an instant.
He couldn't distinguish his thoughts in the confusion, and only subconsciously thought: That was... that was the source of mental pollution that he threw at Pei Yi, and now it was returned to him!
How is it possible? ...How did they do that? ! Who——
But soon, Sheng Pingsha couldn't even think of this idea.
Click.
The edge of the "cup" was broken and polluted water seeped out from the cracks.
On the other side, the room.
"Pei Yi? Are you okay?"
Pei Yi was originally going to go to the mall with the program crew to pick out dishes for tomorrow's meal, but halfway there he received a call from Shang Jingyan, so he obediently returned to the backstage of the program crew to wait for her.
Shang Jingyan had obviously gone out in a hurry. She put on a black windbreaker over her hotel robe. Her long hair was still wet, and the collar of her windbreaker was also a little wet.
"I'm fine."
Pei Yi shook his head and asked, "What happened? I only saw Senior Lin's hot searches..."
He had never thought that he would see this kind of expression on Shang Jingyan's face. She did have a strong aura, but except when she was working, she would almost always restrain herself, like a cheetah in rest, with her green eyes half-open and showing no aggression.
But at this moment, it can be clearly seen that she is no longer hiding it. Her face is expressionless, and her sharp temperament is like the edges of a gem, as if it can cut people.
Shang Jingyan did not respond directly, but only said: "Sheng Pingsha is desperate."
She did not tell Pei Yi what happened in his mental picture during the communication. She knew intuitively that some things were not suitable to be said out loud because they involved too many things.
But she revealed a small part of it to Lin Yuemian, and it was this information that finally prompted him to speak out.
"Where is he?" she asked instead.
Pei Yi pointed her in the direction.
Shang Jingyan nodded and walked across the corridor.
Several production crew members and Sheng Pingsha's editor had gathered at the door. They looked up and bumped into her. They were surprised and stammered, "Uh... Director Sheng, he's not in a good state right now."
The staff could see that she was going to confront Sheng Pingsha.
Shang Jingyan said: "I just asked him a few questions."
The staff hesitated for a moment, but finally made way.
Shang Jingyan confirmed that there was no one else in the room, then used his mental power to search again to confirm that there was no recording or video equipment, and then closed the door.
Sheng Pingsha sat on the carpet like a dog, leaning against the sofa leg, his clothes soaked with cold sweat. He seemed to be a beat slower to react, and only then realized that Shang Jingyan had come in, and said defensively: "Why did you come to me?!"
Shang Jingyan lowered her eyes to look at him and said slowly, "Did you do this to Pei Yi?"
She didn't say it explicitly. If Sheng Pingsha didn't know, he would definitely wonder, "What happened to Pei Yi?" But Shang Jingyan saw that Sheng Pingsha's face showed obvious panic and fear.
Sheng Pingsha finally remembered that the person standing in front of him had a mental strength of 180.
That was beyond his imagination. If it was her, it seemed that she would be able to detect it and fight back... Could it really be her?
Terror spread from the bottom of his heart. Sheng Pingsha was now like a frightened bird. He trembled and said, "Yes."
Shang Jingyan had actually "analyzed" that piece of information and guessed that it should have been made by Sheng Pingsha himself. Now it was just a final confirmation.
Because most of the information in that pollution source is his own works and "waste films" produced in the middle of production, which are superimposed and copied countless times and then compressed into the mental space.
However, its "shell" is so cleverly made that it can actually be triggered remotely.
Shang Jingyan didn't want to do anything at first, he just intercepted it and checked the principle of this thing.
Unexpectedly, it moved again, and Shang Jingyan almost instinctively fought back.
She felt that this was not Sheng Pingsha's own idea, but he had learned from someone else. His mental power was only A, but the mental power required to analyze this mental power device was over 100.
"Who taught you that?"
Shang Jingyan could sense the fluctuations in Sheng Pingsha's mental power at this moment, and realized clearly that he was contaminated by the information he had created, and would probably fall into cavitation soon.
——It's completely his own fault.
Sheng Pingsha himself had not yet realized this, he just vaguely felt that his mental power had become a little narrower.
"How do you know it wasn't me..." He said with a bit of fear, but when he saw Shang Jingyan's expression, he shrank back again. He didn't want to experience the severe pain just now again, so he quickly changed the topic, "I'll tell you!...I'll tell you!!"
"No one taught me this. I just had a dream once... After I woke up from the dream, I learned this method. I really didn't lie. Believe me!!"
After Sheng Pingsha finished speaking, he knew that what he said sounded like nonsense, and he was so anxious that he almost cried.
Shang Jingyan was slightly stunned. In a dream... ?
She thought of the Zhenwu Group. Isn't this the organization that always holds meetings in dreams?
He added the details in a panic, "I remember it was when I graduated from college. I went out with my roommates for a graduation party. We drank too much and stayed in a hotel... At that time, we were not in the exile galaxy, but traveling in the main galaxy! Oh, I still remember that the person living next door to me was very strange. The hotel cleaner said that the guest lived here for more than a month. During that time, the guest living next door to him often complained about having weird dreams!"
"I remember it very clearly, because it sounds very strange, and... I did have a dream, and I felt like I heard people talking. After I woke up, I still vaguely remembered the content. This is the method of 'mental pollution'. They call it 'mental pollution source'."
"Then, then I... I tried it on Lin Yuemian... Haven't I always been jealous of him? So I..."
Sheng Pingsha spilled the beans about this matter that could ruin his reputation, but he was a little hesitant at the end. "I just wanted to give it a try at first, but I didn't expect... he really had syringomyelia."
Shang Jingyan's eyebrows moved. Even though she had seen a lot of things, she whispered, "How disgusting."
Lin Yuemian was grateful for Sheng Pingsha's help and for encouraging him to create even though he was suffering from syringomyelia. But he didn't know that his illness was caused by Sheng Pingsha.
This person was able to pretend to be enthusiastic and finally stole the results.
After Shang Jingyan told him about Pei Yi, he was silent for a long time. Perhaps, he had also associated it with himself.
And the source of mental pollution... According to Sheng Pingsha's description, perhaps the guest next to him stayed in that hotel for a month, often held meetings in his dreams, and affected the people around him.
Could it be the real thing group?
But that's not necessarily the case. She hadn't heard that the people from the Zhenwu Group holding meetings in dreams would have side effects on the people around them, at least not for her and You Yao.
What Sheng Pingsha said sounds a little inferior to the Zhenwu Group... Hiss, how many weird underground organizations are there in this world?
Seeing that Shang Jingyan remained silent for a long time, Sheng Pingsha almost knelt down in front of her: "Everything I said is true, I didn't lie to you!...Uh..."
Having said this, he suddenly pressed his forehead and began to sweat again.
He seemed to have sensed something, and his eyes widened little by little: "I won't suffer from syringomyelia, right?..."
Sheng Pingsha's voice trembled, full of disbelief.
Retirement from the entertainment industry, lawsuits, etc. may be temporary, but for a dream builder, cavalier syndrome truly means the end of his career.
"Shang Jing, no, Director Shang! The source of mental pollution has returned to my spiritual realm. Did you do that?" He hastily took a few steps on his knees, trying to grab the hem of Shang Jingyan's clothes. "I can't do this... Director Shang, can you help me clear it out? I can't ruin my future like this!"
Shang Jingyan took a step back lightly, avoiding his hand.
She could indeed cure synovialia, but why tell him that?
"Future?" Shang Jingyan said with a hint of sarcasm, "So you also know this word. But when you harmed Lin Yuemian and Pei Yi, you didn't care that this would ruin other people's futures."
She smiled lightly and did not answer Sheng Pingsha's question. "It took so many years for retribution to come to you. If someone really returns the source of pollution to you, it can be regarded as justice for the heavens."
Shang Jingyan got the answer he wanted to know, so there was no need to pay any more attention to Sheng Pingsha. He turned around and opened the door.
"Director Sheng's condition seems to have worsened again, so you guys should pay attention." She left this message before leaving.
Sheng Pingsha knelt on the ground blankly, looking gloomy and dejected, completely lacking the domineering look he had a few days ago.
The light brain not far away was still flashing. He knew that there must be countless messages in his background and private chat, but he no longer dared to look.
If we were to talk about the biggest gossip in Exile Galaxy from the beginning of this year to now, it would definitely be the feud between Sheng Pingsha and Lin Yuemian.
The only ones who could compete with him might be the two or three legal celebrities previously exposed. If Sheng Pingsha had not written an apology letter and announced his retirement the day after Lin Yuemian’s warning, he would have become one of the legal celebrities.
Sheng Pingsha's account posted a thousand-word apology letter, and at the end he said that he would quit the circle and reflect on himself and start a new life. At first, some people said it was sincere, but within an hour, someone found out that the apology letter was ghostwritten by someone else, which caused even more criticism.
The studio had no choice but to forward the message, claiming that it was a helpless move. Director Sheng had been hospitalized due to synovitis, and the apology letter was dictated by him and then polished by someone else.
The studio also attached a photo of Sheng Pingsha lying on the hospital bed, but this time no one believed it, and the comment section was filled with ridicule.
"The Long River Under the Moon" is the childhood of a generation of people in the exile galaxy. Sheng Pingsha has monopolized the fame for many years, so when the truth was exposed, the backlash he suffered was particularly great.
Before Sheng Pingsha retired from the entertainment industry, he still didn't give up and secretly released all the episodes of "The Wizard Island". Unfortunately, his lack of talent and acquired strength made people feel intuitively how messy and incomprehensible the whole show was.
A few remaining fans: It would be better if there was only the beginning. Now we can’t even praise the masterpiece as a masterpiece. What’s the point! ?
The only unsolved mystery left by his withdrawal from the entertainment industry is the "series of other things" mentioned in Lin Yuemian's post that day.
After such a big incident, the guest group of "Star River Wandering Kitchen" suffered a huge reduction in members, with only four groups left out of five. However, because this incident attracted more attention, the negative impact was barely offset.
Two weeks later, the final sales and voting results came out, and Shang Jingyan was unsurprisingly elected double champion, followed by Hua Feitian.
Shang Jingyan's haters became coy again, looking at what they had said before to praise Sheng Pingsha, they wished they could travel back in time and strangle themselves to death.
Why is it always like this? Why don't I learn my lesson? Shang Jingyan has a bit of a metaphysical aura about him, how hateful!
On the last day of the Hades Banquet, the restaurant was packed with diners, and everyone spontaneously and consciously ordered only dishes that could be finished quickly to make way for the next group of guests to come in.
The music of stringed instruments on the stage was dreamy and lingering. Today, the Hades also held a farewell banquet. Everyone was reluctant to leave, and they had only one thought in their minds:
Hope the chain restaurant opens soon, we can't wait to eat there again!!
V066, Star Port.
"Woohoo! Congratulations, Director Shang. This starship will be yours for the next three years!"
With cheers, colorful ribbons were cut and golden pieces of paper fell everywhere.
Through the glass curtain wall of the port, you can see a silver starship quietly docked in the space port. This is the reward for the champion of this season of "The Wandering Kitchen". The first place winner can get the right to lease the starship for three years.
This starship is brand new, and if Shang Jingyan is willing, he can buy it in three years.
The entrance of the starship popped out and docked with the port. Shang Jingyan walked into the cockpit and saw the program team's championship crystal trophy tied to the driver's seat. It was dazzling under the light and engraved with a pattern of a wandering galaxy.
"You're going to take the driving test next, Director Shang. Do you feel any pressure? Do you want me to teach you?" You Yao patted her shoulder with a smile.
Shang Jingyan glanced at him and said, "I have already scored full marks in the holographic driving simulation."
You Yao: “…”
If I remember correctly, she said the night before yesterday that she wanted to learn how to pilot a starship... Is this the advantage of having high mental strength? !
Luo Zhiyu also came today. She looked at the empty space for the aircraft in the rear cabin of the starship and said jokingly, "Yanyan, why don't you buy the aircraft this time?"
After experiencing an emergency where he had to take a taxi to find Pei Yi, Shang Jingyan felt that he really needed a means of transportation of his own: "Then I'll have to ask Zhiyu to do my homework for me."
Luo Zhiyu smiled shyly, but said something very heroic: "Leave it to me, I promise to pick the coolest one for you!"
Hua Feitian had a sullen face and clapped reluctantly along with the rest of the production crew, her actions very perfunctory.
Shang Jingyan teased her: "Do you want it very much? I'll lend it to you to drive?"
Hua Feitian exploded: "I'm not envious!"
She has several starships of her own!
——In fact, if Lin Yuemian didn’t stand up, according to Shang Jingyan’s original plan, Sheng Pingsha would also fall because of his own ugly deeds.
With the help of the system, she discovered that Sheng Pingsha seemed to be planning to secretly tamper with Hua Feitian's ingredients in the last few days of the show. She wanted to catch him in the act during the live broadcast, but something bigger happened instead, and Miss Hua never had the chance to experience the sinister nature of society.
There's no need to talk about it if it didn't happen. It would seem like asking for a favor.
Shang Jingyan left behind evil evidence, and if he had the chance to get closer to Hua Feitian in the future, he would reveal it and laugh at her.
After everyone from the production crew got off the boat, X71 asked: [Yanyan, there is a question I have been thinking about for several days. If Sheng Pingsha had not attacked again that day... would you have taken the initiative to destroy his mental image? ]
It cannot enter the mental picture, but after all, it is watching the whole process and can roughly guess what happened.
Shang Jingyan thought for a while and said, "I don't know either. But maybe not?"
There is still a difference between fighting back on the spot and lynching another person for the sake of others. She couldn't help but laugh at herself: I am indeed a very moral person in a society ruled by law.
X71 seemed to be thinking about something, and made another note about human morality in his little notebook, and emphasized: Yanyan is a very good human being, and I like what Yanyan did.
Shang Jingyan didn't have a starship driver's license, so she had to ask a designated driver to take the ship away. You Yao and Luo Zhiyu stayed on the starship and returned to Lanheyue with her.
The past two weeks have been bustling with activity on StarNet, but for Shang Jingyan himself, it has been calm and all work has been carried out in an orderly manner.
As soon as the "Infinite Heartbeat" unit ended, there was a week-long break, and the first episode of "Princess's Tomb" will be broadcast again tonight.
She leaned on the side of the ship and looked at the universe outside the glass. In this direction, she could see the star spiral of the Beta Galaxy. On the system map, during the broadcast of "The Witch of the Snowstorm", the heartbeat value of the main galaxy was also lit up a lot, and the light spots began to form a trend, like a layer of light gauze covering the star spiral.
The main galaxy...
Shang Jingyan lowered his head and flipped through the message he had received from Lin Yuemian not long ago on his computer:
[My wife wants to invite you to give a horror lecture at the Alliance Dream Builder University in the capital planet. Is Director Shang willing to do so? ]
Adjust your schedule, plan to update one hour earlier at 11 noon_(:з」∠)_
