Extra: The Underworld

【Question: What is the darkest surrounding you have ever seen? 】

[As the title says, I’m the original poster. The thing is, I’m an ordinary fan of Noel. Ever since I opened the legendary detective comic, I’ve been fascinated by this man. Noel, also known as Natsukawa Sora, I’m sure everyone has heard of his reputation. There has been a lot of fighting over his stance recently, but it doesn’t matter. I’m just an ordinary fan of the manga. You know what a fan of the manga is, they are the kind of people who seem to be fence-sitters but are actually the most stubborn. They don’t care if he’s famous or not, as long as his face is not ruined, they will love him forever...]

[I have guessed what the OP wants to say]

[What's going on? So you're talking about Noel's new peripherals. Isn't that cute? I didn't even get one, okay? What the hell???]

【Listen to me, that's right, it's the new peripherals released on the official website. You should know that the official website is notoriously reluctant to make money. The first time they released peripherals was a huge poster. Look at the official picture, it's such a beautiful style, and it's a photo of Noel and Xiaoguang from the detective team. Basically all the main characters are there, and Noel is standing in the center position in the middle of everyone, with that awesome face showing a faint smile in the middle. Who the hell can resist this? I used my hand speed after being single for 20 years to finally get it, and I am in the same city as the shipping location, so I received it on the same day.】

[Fuck, I'm jealous, I haven't received it yet]

[What the hell, what the hell, what the hell, how about this?]

[I remember the official said there was a hidden surprise]

[After all, it’s just a poster and a badge. Many people who buy it are looking for a little surprise.]

[You're overthinking it. Even if it's just a poster badge, this is Noel! ]

[Fuck, I didn’t get it, why is it only 10,000]

[Ten thousand is a lot, okay?]

【Laughing so hard, sold out in ten minutes】

[I feel conservative]

[The price is very cheap, and it is said that the money earned will continue to be donated. I admire this spirit]

[It's so funny. This comic can become a charity all on its own. I'm betting that it can be selected as one of the top ten most touching people this year. Maybe we can even see what the author looks like.]

[Hurry up and tell me, I don’t understand where the underworld is]

[It’s like this, the peripherals this time are a gift box set, the official only revealed that there are posters and baji inside, everything else is kept secret, so when I received a box, I was a little shocked]

[I opened the box, and on top was a well-packaged card. It was very large, about the size of an A4 paper, and the workmanship was very exquisite. The official picture was printed on it, and everyone was sticking to it. I almost licked it at the time. Ahem. It was so beautiful. And then... because I don't draw the curtains in my room all year round, I walked to the window with the card to better appreciate it, and then I found that it was actually a lenticular card! ]

[Passersby are wondering, what is a grating card? ]

[It's a kind of color change, it looks like one picture on the surface, and then it looks like another picture under different light angles, so what is the other side? ]

【Please see.jpg.(desperate eyes)】

【What the hell is this】

【What the hell】

【Grass grass (a kind of plant)】

[Wait, I understand. What's going on? Can someone explain it to me?]

[This is... a laboratory table? The person lying on it is Noel.]

[Wait, Yun Guanzhong doesn't understand, isn't this the certain Xia Chuankong Kong, the one with the special configuration of the protagonist, the one who has a house, a brother, money, and both parents are orphaned]

[Wait, my CPU is down, this is Noel, this bed is an operating table, I remember he was sick.]

[Does your family tie people to the bed when treating illnesses? ]

[If the patient shows extreme resistance, maybe? But usually they will be put into a coma by anesthesia...]

[Should I seal my mouth too? 】

【...】

[Could this be... no anesthesia? ]

[No, do you really think this is a treatment? Not... a human trial or something like that???]

[Wait, what do you mean, so this is the official disclosure of Noel’s past, human experimentation???]

[Ahhhh I don't understand, why is this so sudden? I'm a little confused]

[This is the original poster. I have opened all the boxes. In addition to the official badges and posters, there are also some commemorative cards, all of which are famous scenes from the plot. At the bottom, there is a high-definition poster of another painting on this lenticular card. The picture is here. You can look at it yourself. Don't pay attention to the original poster. The original poster has closed himself off...]

【I'm going crazy】

"Damn, what do you know, Xia Tian?"

He had just returned from get off work at the hospital and received official news that a doctor had been stabbed to death by Zhou Pian. He took his things and ran to Xia Tian's home, while checking his phone for related news. After confirming that he was not the only one who was stabbed to death by Zhou Pian, he reluctantly breathed a sigh of relief and looked up at Xia Tian, ​​who was sitting at the table with a mysterious smile.

"What should I know? I'm not the author!" Xia Tian said righteously, then turned around and ran to hand the other party a cup of wolfberry water. Doctor Si took it and drank it in one gulp without hesitation, and then continued to stare at the other party with a fierce look.

Xia Tian continued to sit there calmly drinking wolfberry water. Interestingly, this pair of friends who knew each other since high school and often went out to drink and eat barbecue are now both healthy. One is a doctor who worries about his hairline and lost handsome looks every day, while the other looks leisurely but in fact he publishes art collections and secretly serializes Zhou Gengfei's original comics and doesn't make a penny. Even though they know that drinking wolfberry water directly has no effect, they still hug each other and show off every day as if for psychological comfort.

"Can't you reveal a little bit? I'm a little curious about his mental state!" As a straight male fan who has been obsessed with the character of Noel for some unknown reason, the doctor finally broke down the moment he received the official peripherals after experiencing several battles of stance. On the one hand, he was in awe of this mysterious author who donated all his weekly income, and on the other hand, he wondered if the other party had suffered some kind of blow to create such creative peripherals, and even wanted to visit him in person to diagnose him.

"This thing is scarier than a trash can!" The doctor held up the grating card in his hand, and the screen switched back and forth between extremely warm and extremely distressing scenes. God knows that he originally put the card into the photo frame and prepared to put it beside the bed, but when the screen changed, he was completely stunned. His mentality was not exactly the same as that of the blogger just now, but it was 90% the same.

“And this poster, you look at him, you can hold on, I want to cry!” The doctor unfolded the poster in a flash, and the extremely stunning painting style depicted a cold laboratory. The young man lying on the laboratory table was surrounded by people in white clothes like a little white mouse. Only a pair of eyes were revealed on his face, which was covered tightly. The eyes were full of despair and numbness, like a gem thrown on the ground casually, full of brokenness and dullness.

Any fan of Noel can instantly recognize that this is Noel. Even though his face is covered and he looks much smaller than he is now, his gray-green eyes reveal emotions that no one has ever seen before. Everyone still realizes that this is a Noel they have never seen before.

This is a painting that is enough to make everyone feel the despair, hold their breath for a moment, and then want to cry after they come to their senses.

Xia Tian finally nodded in response. As a person who has seen too many stories and has a high threshold of emotional awareness, when he observed that world through Xiao Hei and saw this scene, his soul trembled a little. In an instant, he was inspired to draw this picture and made it into peripherals to share with others.

After all, I can't let myself be the only one to suffer this kind of harm... Xia Tian thought so with a sense of mischief. Of course, this would also help pave the way for the revelation of the story, wouldn't it? After all, even as a bystander, he was not happy watching the recent online condemnation of Noel.

After all, I am now a biased human being.

Xia Tian looked up at the doctor with tears in his eyes and expressed his thoughts, mixed with friendly greetings to the people involved in the production. He yawned. Drawing the drafts these past two days was very tiring. After all, their bodies are real human bodies.

“Hahahahahaha~”

Xia Tian was about to turn around and go to sleep when he heard a strange laugh. He turned around and saw the doctor who had started watching videos again. With his good eyesight, Xia Tian saw that the title of the video was "Unboxing of Noel Peripherals".

In the video, the blogger, full of expectations, excitedly opened the box, held the opening card high up, and was ready to express his love for it to the camera. Then, he suddenly saw another picture of the grating card, his expression froze, and then he let out a scream like a pig being slaughtered.

The doctor who saw this scene had a strange look of excitement on his face, and laughed like a cursed doll as if something had gone wrong.

Seemingly recovered, Xia Tian pushed the door open, left the study, and walked towards the bedroom to have a good sleep.

Sure enough, sharing painful things with others helps to alleviate one's own pain. Obviously, it was a very correct decision for me to make this painting around. Moreover, people around me felt better when they saw that others who had the same experience were also suffering, and they could even get a twisted kind of happiness from gloating in others' misfortune. It was pretty good.

Today is another day to be a human being~
