Chapter 1: People with the same name can easily travel through time
"Fuck, Ting Xu, I saw a novel today, and there was a cannon fodder whose name was exactly the same as yours!"
"This is ridiculous. How can you have the same name as someone else?"
The fussy voice came from the bed next to Qiu Tingxu. It was his roommate who was both a stay-at-home and a corrupt person with an uncertain future.
Male, they are both male.
But his roommate is a fujoshi, not gay, but fujoshi.
Qiu Tingxu could guess what kind of novels this person read just by using his toes.
He was not curious at all about what he said, for he was afraid that he would be dragged into some magical realm.
A new door cannot be opened just like that, and he refused to popularize science in this regard.
So he pretended not to hear it and quietly put on his headphones.
His roommate did not let him go and climbed over the low railings and squeezed together with him, making it impossible for him to hide.
"Ting Xu, I won't tell you anything else. I'll just tell you how ridiculous the direction of this book is and how outrageous the ending is!"
"No, I have to share this with you!"
Qiu Tingxu rolled his eyes and lazily put down his headphones as a polite gesture.
He lazily kicked his roommate and said perfunctorily, "Yeah, okay, go ahead and talk, but you have to go back to your side and talk, otherwise don't blame me for kicking you down."
Today is the weekend, and the other two roommates are out hanging out, leaving only Qiu Tingxu and the male roommate. They have slept for the whole afternoon and are too lazy to get out of bed.
My roommate was lying down reading a novel, and I couldn't resist the urge to share it.
Only Qiu Tingxu knows this person's true nature. Don't ask. If you ask, the roommate can chat with Qiu Tingxu and tells him everything.
He didn't care whether Qiu Tingxu was willing to listen or not. He was satisfied after he finished talking and didn't care whether Qiu Tingxu listened seriously or not.
This time Qiu Tingxu decided to keep things as they were. He seemed to be listening, but he was actually playing with his phone.
The gay roommate crawled back dejectedly: "So love will disappear, right? Now you won't even let me get in bed, the relationship has faded..."
Qiu Tingxu reached out and knocked on the hollow railing on the side, making a thumping sound.
"Alright, alright, stop your urge to act. It's good enough for me to listen to your sharing. Stop talking nonsense."
The roommate laughed and said, "Hey, okay, okay, then listen to me. We have the same name, so it's easy to travel through time!"
Qiu Tingxu smiled and said, "The teacher told us to believe in science, but you didn't listen at all."
The roommate refused to listen: "I don't care, at least you should listen to this novel carefully, what if?"
Qiu Tingxu was hypnotized again before he could get to the point, and said vaguely: "If you don't start, I'll fall asleep..."
The roommate started talking quickly, but Qiu Tingxu listened in one ear and out the other as usual. When he was almost falling asleep, he took out his phone and opened the game.
At the end, my roommate said, "What I don't understand is why Qiu Tingxu in the book suddenly went crazy. He also said that the world he existed in was too noisy and he was suffering from mental shock all the time, so he cut his wrists on the eve of going to college."
"What's even more outrageous is that a week after he committed suicide, another beautiful, gloomy, mute cannon fodder slit his wrists. Before he died, he wrote a line of words on the pure black bed sheet with blood. Who can see clearly?"
"That's nothing, it's just a passing mention. The amazing thing is that at the end of the book, it says that the whole world is in chaos and all humans are extinct. That's definitely a bad ending, right?"
"I've never read a novel with such a confusing direction. It's like just randomly picking two cannon fodder to pad the word count."
Qiu Tingxu didn't pay any attention to what he said before. He only heard these few words during the few tens of seconds when his game character died and was waiting to be resurrected.
He thought about it and made a reasonable guess: "Is it possible that the extinction of mankind is related to these two cannon fodders?"
The roommate racked his brains but couldn't figure out how it was related. "How can you tell that there is a connection?"
Qiu Tingxu extended his right index finger, "First, Qiu Tingxu in the book said that the world is too noisy. Why is it so noisy? Can't I hide in my room and find peace and quiet?"
He raised his right middle finger again: "Second, what did the mute cannon fodder write in blood on the bed sheet? Why did the author write such a plot?"
Finally, he extended his ring finger and said, "Three, your novel seems to be developing towards the end of the world. It's not like a traditional modern urban novel. The author specifically wants you to guess something."
He asked, “Is there any follow-up to these two people?”
His roommate looked at him with starry eyes: "You don't have any, but the dumb cannon fodder has a little."
Qiu Tingxu felt a little unhappy when hearing this: "What do you mean I don't have it? Do you want to be punished?"
"Tell me what it is?"
The roommate said guiltily, "Well, you are not in the book. If you are a mute cannon fodder, the police will come and investigate what he wrote."
"He wrote: 'The world kissed me with pain, so it should be buried with me.'"
"Isn't it weird?"
Qiu Tingxu's character was resurrected, and he was doing two things at once. "Emmm, this is a bit childish. I'm afraid the novel you read has some fantasy elements. No wonder humans became extinct in the end. I'm afraid it was because of this blood book."
My roommate was puzzled. “Why do you say that? Are you the author?”
Qiu Tingxu was happy after killing his teammate. "Do you think I'm the kind of person who would write a love story between two men? Isn't this a very obvious hint?"
"Because they are cannon fodder, the author did not write the story from their perspective, so their background is not fully explained."
"I guess the climax of your story is that after these two people committed suicide, the protagonists who appeared were designated as saviors for a period of time, but they failed to save the world."
My roommate was very surprised: "Wow, you actually listened to me carefully this time!"
Qiu Tingxu didn't listen at all. He didn't even know the protagonist's name. He just guessed based on his roommate's final complaints.
But there was no need to expose myself and dampen my roommate’s enthusiasm, so I hemmed and hawed, “Uh… um, as long as you’re happy.”
The roommate happily went to the comment section and typed Qiu Tingxu's guess, and excitedly said that this was his brother's analysis, and asked the author if it was correct.
Not long after, the author actually replied to him: [Yes, Qiu Tingxu is the real savior. 】
roommate:【? ? ? Isn’t Qiu Tingxu dead? 】
He didn't seem to mention that his brother had the same name as the cannon fodder in the book, so the author was talking about cannon fodder, right? Of course!
However, the author never responded to him again.
…
That day, the two of them went out of school and had a barbecue at the snack street. Qiu Tingxu felt like eating some fruit, so he ran to the fruit stand and bought a bag of pears, which were juicy and comfortable to chew.
After buying the pears, my roommate was still picking apples. By the time he finished buying, Qiu Tingxu had already slowly wandered to another snack stall.
The entire snack street is sandwiched between two tall residential buildings, and this stall is not close to the stores on the first and second floors.
A not-so-big but scary enough billboard fell from somewhere, turning a corner without any wind and hitting Qiu Tingxu.
No one noticed it, except his roommate who was looking for him after paying for the Apple.
His pupils suddenly contracted and he ran over shouting loudly.
But the distance was too far. He was more than ten meters away from Qiu Tingxu and it was too late for him.
