Chapter 155 Romance Contagion (18) (1st + 2nd update) [VIP]
The students from xx Academy who got off the plane could never have imagined that the secluded island school festival they had originally booked would land in such a lively place.
The island was very beautiful with blue sky and white clouds, exactly as they had recorded in the documents they had looked up. The beach was golden, the coastline was endless, and the wind blowing on their faces carried the scent of the ocean.
That’s why…
Will the beach be full of people?
It looked like students from another school had already filled the beach, making this seldom visited island in the profile look like a Golden Week resort.
It seems that there were already schools that chose this place before them.
A series of questioning voices suddenly erupted from the crowd.
"Teacher," a handsome boy who looked like the student union president stood out from the restless students and took the initiative to ask, "Did the captain fly to the wrong place?"
"The one we originally booked should be a newly built holiday island that hasn't been opened yet, right?"
He remembered that they had originally booked a resort island that had just been developed for tourism value, but because it was in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, transportation was inconvenient and few people visited it.
What is the situation of this coast full of people now?
"Master Gu Du, please wait a moment," the teacher in charge was obviously also startled by the bustling crowd on the beach, "I'll go check it out!"
The teacher in charge turned around nervously to confirm with the captain. The students began to whisper among themselves, and the dissatisfaction on their faces became more and more intense.
In the dark, Bai Jinshu turned around and asked, "Here we are. Which school is this?"
"School No. 5 is the closest to here," Bo Yuan flipped through the route map that was updated in real time, "and the remaining eight schools haven't arrived yet. Three of them are on their way, and five haven't taken off yet. The estimated arrival time of each school can be staggered by a few hours for action."
"Tell Gu Tiancai to hold on tight," Bai Jinshu said, "No matter where these planes are going to fly to at first, they must land here for the first time."
In these novels about the F4 prince and grassroots heroine, in order to highlight their status, it is naturally impossible for them to squeeze into the same class with ordinary people during the school festival. They obviously charter a plane.
In other words, there is absolutely no possibility of accidentally walking into an innocent passerby.
All the Mary Sue academies that have merged in will pass through here, and the school festival is obviously one of the important plots.
The places they chose were all carefully selected by Bai Jinshu and his team. Not only were they isolated from the world, the only ways to get there were by boat or plane, neither of which were public transportation with clear schedules. If the book holder did not want to miss the protagonist's movements, then he must be one of the students or teachers who came here with the team.
"Brother Qi," Lu Changfeng ran over stealthily, "Gu Tiancai said he would leave everything to him. This kind of small matter is not as complicated as shutting down a company."
"That's fine." Bai Jinshu nodded.
It was not in vain that Lu Changfeng accompanied this kid to eat ice cream for more than half a month.
"What if these students find out that the place is wrong?" Yun Tian was a little worried.
Bai Jinshu remained calm and said, "It would be strange if we didn't find anything wrong, right?"
The small island was imposed by Gu Tiancai on the candidate list of these schools in advance, and no matter where they finally chose, the landing location of the plane had already been changed to the same location.
The people on the beach looked like students from some aristocratic school, all of them were nine assassins from the "First Killer Organization".
As we all know, it is normal for the No. 1 killer organization to have nine members.
Market conditions change every day, and after a few days, 30% seems a bit too high.
The battle for the name of the organization has reached a fever pitch, and it is clear that there are not many people left for them to kill.
To put it bluntly, the killer organization still has to do business with everyone. Other industries can create demand if there is no demand, but their killer organization can't just kill indiscriminately when there is no one to kill, right?
So after the struggle became fierce, in order to compete for who was the most professional and could get the title of the first killer organization, several killer organizations that made it to the final round even got involved in the work first and payment later.
In the midst of silence, Bai Jinshu was overjoyed after hearing this: "Then let all the people from the seven organizations come! After all the tasks are completed, we will pay them according to their performance."
Investors on the barrage: [……]
[Is this Cen Bingqi? ]
【This must be it.】
[What on earth do the assassin organizations in your world think...]
[Lost myself in the sound of the first killer.jpg]
[Boss, you are so confused, how come the underworld is so complicated now! ]
[I wonder if Cen Bingqi's personalities will have their own rooms in the consciousness space. Cen Bingqi must have been assigned a street lamp.]
[When you don't come out, you just hang there, right? 】
…
In order to take care of the killers who came to work for free, Bai Jinshu chose an island that was even next to the Killer Island. It can be said to be a very humane capitalist.
The students who landed on the island had no idea what kind of place they had landed in.
According to the information they obtained, this island was a holiday island that had been developed not long ago.
Due to the inconvenient transportation, an airport was built to facilitate tourists to come, but no fixed flight routes have been determined yet, so now only tourists who own private planes can come here.
From the students' perspective, it seems that this is a great place for the school festival where no one will disturb them.
——It is also a hotbed for crimes where if you get robbed, you will be completely helpless.
The first group of lucky students who landed here have already arrived. On the screen, Bai Jinshu's face is calm, and he has no idea how explosive his words are. "The captain must not know what's going on now. It doesn't matter. Let him find a reason to stay here for about an hour. Let Hongyan spend money."
"If he tries to fly away by force, just punch him."
Guan Hongyan rubbed her hands together and said, "I'm familiar with this."
"Lu Changfeng went to find Gu Tiancai and asked him to cut off all communications in this sea area. During this period of time, no information other than our communications should be transmitted."
Lu Changfeng nodded: "No problem."
"Everyone else observes this situation in the group and sees who is the first to choose not to communicate with others but to open the suitcase or leave the group alone."
In a school festival, especially a school festival in a Mary Sue novel, something must happen that is worthy of being recorded in words.
The original book holders should be mentally prepared for various unexpected situations that may occur during this journey.
However, the original work is both the cause of success and failure. People who hold the original work have been accustomed to using text to determine the full picture of the event for a long time. After something big happens, the first choice they make is to open the book to see if there is any text about the current event.
"We have tried it. Since the book cannot be destroyed, its form cannot be artificially changed," he added. "So the state of the book to the outside world is and can only be a book-like object. The only difference lies in how the holder disguises it."
"If anyone brings something that looks like a book, they will all be treated as the original owner. It's okay to mistakenly identify someone other than the protagonist."
Anyway, things that don’t happen to the protagonist will not be recorded.
Everyone nodded.
All Mary Sue Academy holders will stop here today and must get all the original works at once, otherwise it will be difficult to find such an opportunity next time.
"I'll ask the killer organization to prepare. Once the holder of the original work is identified, he will be kidnapped immediately." Xu Zichen said.
A group of people quickly made a plan and dispersed.
The teacher who went to look for the captain came back and said, "Students, please be patient. The captain said that because the flight is too long, we have to stop here to refuel. Just wait for about an hour."
“I haven’t said that before.”
"Why stop here when there is no other place..."
"Is this the island reserved by another school?"
"The signal here is not good. It takes a long time to send a message."
“I don’t want to be crowded with others.”
There was immediate dissatisfaction among the students.
"Students," the teacher said with cold sweat on his face, "I have negotiated with the staff on the island. The beach in the south is still empty and not far from the airport. We can go there and wait for a while."
“Although the signal is not good, the scenery of this small island is also very good.”
Although the students were dissatisfied, they had been on the plane for a long time and were tempted to go to the beach when they heard that there was free time.
"Then teacher, let's go back and get some things from the luggage." After a discussion, the boy who looked like the student union president spoke.
The teacher naturally wanted to appease the anger of these young ladies and young masters, so he agreed immediately.
After a while, the students walked in groups of three or four towards the empty beach.
Without anyone noticing, a student who was at the end of the crowd and holding a photo album disappeared silently in the crowd.
"Is this it?" The members of the exploration team huddled together, and the book disguised as a photo album was opened and placed in the middle of the table.
"Romantic Contagion 18, it's the owner." Bai Jinshu quickly flipped through it, "No problem, let him go, test whether he still remembers it now, and prepare for the next flight."
The book "Romance Contagious" has actually been ranked 18th.
"You can take off. The money will be transferred to your card in a few days. Watch your mouth." Guan Hongyan's voice was transmitted to the captain's ears through the voice changer.
From the time the plane landed to the time I found the original book, it took less than half an hour and I had the first copy in my hands.
"Take the original book out first, then wake him up." Bai Jinshu tapped the student on the ground with his chin.
Xu Zichen took the book and walked out. Guan Hongyan squatted down and searched around the student's neck for a while and pressed a few times.
"What's wrong with me?" The original owner opened his eyes in a daze, "Where is this?"
"Classmate, are you okay?" Guan Hongyan's expression changed instantly. She squatted beside him with a worried look, looking like a kind person. It was hard to tell that she had just threatened the captain a few minutes ago. "We are students of Olds Business School on this small resort island. We heard that students from other colleges were coming to refuel here, so we came to check it out, and we found you unconscious on the side of the road."
"I...I fainted?" The original author looked around in confusion.
"It seems you have heat stroke, so I took you to a cooler place. Do you feel better now?" Guan Hongyan pretended, "Did you lose anything?"
"Lost...something?" The original author thought for a long time and searched his pockets for a long time. "It should be a cell phone? I can't seem to find my cell phone."
"Here, your phone fell to the side when we found you," Yun Tian stepped forward and stuffed the phone into his hand, "I heard that you stopped here to refuel, and the plane will take off after refueling. If you don't wake up, we will consider looking for your classmates. Go back quickly, the signal here is not very good, and it takes a long time to send a message. Your team leader may not be able to contact you."
"Oh... ok," the original owner stood up in confusion, "Thank you."
He felt as if he had indeed forgotten something very important, but after searching through his phone for a long time he could not think of anything he had forgotten.
Olds Business School, he had heard of this name. It turned out that the people here today were classmates from this school.
The original author had no choice but to thank the owner and leave in confusion, holding his phone.
"You're welcome." Everyone waved.
【He has to thank us. 】
[What a nice guy, but his brain is not very good. ]
[Isn't the fight between F4 serious? It's normal for the original author to lack vigilance in a simple world where this fight only takes place between the four princes and the heroine. ]
[Indeed, Shi Linling is also like this.]
[The school theme looks like the novice village in the Mary Sue world. ]
…
After watching the owner of the original work, who had forgotten that he had ever owned the book, leave, everyone finally felt relieved.
"It seems that as long as the original work is away from its holder for a certain distance and the ownership is transferred, they will be quickly assimilated." Xu Zichen walked in from outside with a book.
"It would be much easier to seize the original work this way," Guan Hongyan's expression brightened up. "Xu Zichen, did you read it when you went out? What is Romantic Contagion 18 about?"
The rest of the exploration team members were also curious about this question and came over.
"The male protagonist is a gangster and the female protagonist is both good in character and in learning. I really wonder who is reading this." Xu Zichen raised the book in his hand and said speechlessly, "The male protagonist was right in front of us when we knocked that kid out. Fortunately, we acted steadily and ruthlessly and dragged him away before he could react. Otherwise, who knows how the male protagonist would deal with us who attacked our companions."
As soon as these words came out, many complaints popped up on the barrage:
[Wake up, is there anyone on this island who is more like a gangster than you are now? ]
[What a joke, the King of Assassins calls others gangsters.]
[Wake up, your island is full of killers. ]
[He is still a killer who got here for free. 】
[In this world, the thing that depreciates faster than diamonds is the market price of underworld killers.]
[It is just around the corner for the killer organization to start working for you after you are paid. 】
【When it comes to freeloading, you guys are the experts. 】
[The good news is that this space is finally starting to look like a place for serious exploration. The bad news is that it doesn’t seem to be that serious either.]
…
After Xu Zichen finished answering, he placed the book next to their original work.
Then, a white light suddenly flashed on the table.
He subconsciously reached out to take it back, but his hand was empty: "Fuck."
As soon as Xu Zichen finished speaking, the light dissipated in front of everyone's eyes, and the two books suddenly became one.
"The original..." Lu Changfeng whispered, "The original has been integrated?"
At this moment, everyone in the room stood up.
*
Owning multiple original books and placing the original books together can cause the books to merge.
Everyone in the room became restless in an instant. Xu Zichen frowned and opened the new book. The words on the cover were still "Romance Contagious".
It's just that the content of the book has changed.
"The story line has changed," Xu Zichen confirmed after flipping through it several times. "The heroine of Romance Contagion 18... and the hero of Romance Contagion 1, Baili Xiaofeng, are both gone."
"Which one is missing?" Bai Jinshu asked quickly.
Xu Zichen: "...disappeared directly into the story."
"Romantic Contagion 1" and "Romantic Contagion 18" were merged into a new book.
This book is still the story of campus F4 and the grassroots heroine, but the heroines of the story are the [White Flower Heroine] in the first part and the [Black and White Hero] in the eighteenth part.
The story line has also been partially reconstructed, but fortunately not much has been changed. The [White Flower heroine] is still working in the restaurant, but the opportunity for her to enter the restaurant has changed from being fired from the milk tea shop to the [gangster hero] asking his buddies to take care of her.
"Go call [Bai Hua Mistress]," Bai Jinshu whispered, "Try to get some information, but don't be too obvious. See what she thinks right now."
Yun Tian and Guan Hongyan exchanged glances and left.
The rest of the expedition team flipped through the freshly-published copy of Romance Is Contagious.
The book still contained those ridiculous and childish plots, but in the past, they would have been able to complain while reading the book with great interest, but now, it made everyone's hair stand on end.
[When Weisheng Peiya declared war on the gangster male protagonist, the bodyguards of the other party's family stood in the dark, watching this civilian girl who dared to challenge their young master.]
[After Weisheng Peiya's tire was punctured and she got into Guan Hongyan's car, the male protagonist of the underworld drove along with her all the way to make sure she walked into his family's milk tea shop.]
[Uncle Shi received a notice with a black background and gold print, warning him that if he did not dismiss Wei Sheng Pei Ya, he would pay the price in three days.]
[In the Encounter restaurant, after the female protagonist entered the kitchen to peel onions, the gangster male protagonist who had been silently watching her suddenly appeared in the hall, sat in front of the real owner of the restaurant, told him that his territory was not very peaceful now, and thanked him for giving him face.]
The entire plot was changed.
"Everything has been changed..." Xu Zichen frowned and whispered, "Since the hero of 18 and the heroine of 1 have become a new book, what about the heroine of 18 and the hero of 1?"
"It's been swallowed up." Guan Hongyan's voice came from the door.
"New rules have emerged, and the original novels will swallow each other up," Guan Hongyan took a deep breath, "Weisheng Peiya has no memory of the "domineering male protagonist" at all. I asked Gu Tiancai to check it out, and it's as if Baili Xiaofeng had never appeared. He just disappeared."
I guess on the other side, the 18-year-old heroine will just disappear like that.
With the integration of books, the cognition of all indigenous peoples was renewed again, but this time the renewal was not an increase, but a decrease.
"I understand," Bai Jinshu murmured, "Once the snowball begins, the world will become a huge Gu field. The original book holders will devour each other to determine the Gu King. Once they choose to merge, the original books they hold will also devour each other."
It's just that now everyone knows that the original holder who survives to the end will become the Gu King, but it is still unclear how the merger between the protagonists in the original work is decided.
After this duel, the protagonist and the holder were bound together tightly, but they did not rise and fall together.
The protagonist's life is completely in the hands of the holder.
As the holders of 1, they seized 18, but failed to save the male protagonist of 1. Instead, they allowed the male protagonist of 18 to invade the plot of 1 and changed what had happened before.
"The second batch of students has landed." Xu Zichen received news from the killer organizations.
"What should we do? Still rob?" Lu Changfeng looked at Cen Bingqi.
"Let's grab all the original books first." Beside the table, Cen Bingqi frowned and looked at the merged books, with a very unfamiliar vigilance in his eyes. "Don't rush to merge them before you figure out the pattern. Keep them separate."
Following the same method, all the remaining Mary Sue original works were quickly obtained.
In order to prevent uncontrollable fusion, the exploration team placed the books in different rooms and exchanged the contents of the original works through temporary group chats.
Among all the original works obtained so far, the book numbers are quite confusing, with the largest number being 31 and the smallest being 4.
Guan Hongyan: [I got the book today, but it may not be so easy to get it in the future. The heroine of 18 is not a celebrity, but the hero of 1 is very famous. The world line changes, and the remaining holders will soon find that one person is missing. ]
There are many smart people who can guess that the reduction in the number of protagonists must be related to the war between the holders.
[It feels to me like the original novel and the protagonist are like elves,] Xu Zichen posted quickly, [The owner is a tamer-like character. After snatching other people's elves, the elves will annex each other and finally choose the strongest one.]
Xu Zichen: [And the snowball problem can also be solved this way. We have always thought that the protagonist will not die, so the snowball that pulls the supporting characters into the new world will continue to roll. But now it is confirmed that once the fusion occurs, a pair of male and female protagonists will be randomly eliminated. So, if the fusion is completed in this way, will there only be one pair of male and female protagonists left, and the snowball will stop rolling? ]
Keep snatching books from the original owners, and then keep annexing the world until only the last one is left.
The world will return to the way it was at the beginning.
Hong Yuan: […It is possible, but it is uncontrollable who will be left in the end.]
Moreover, these protagonists are not electronic elves that can be treated as a string of data streams. If they are swallowed up, they will really disappear.
If he had a choice, he wouldn't want to manipulate other people's lives like this.
Yun Tian was also a little hesitant: [Is this the only way? ]
【hiss……】
[Can such a happy space also have such a dark core? ]
Several comments from investors floated across the screen.
In the temporary group chat, Bai Jinshu also shared his guess that he had been thinking about for an afternoon.
A loving family: [Don’t you think our initial thinking was wrong? ]
A loving family: [Why do all of us feel that in such a world, owning the original work is a golden finger? ]
That's what they thought, and so did the original author.
Having the original work allows you to control the overall situation of the event and make choices ahead of others.
But looking at the big picture, holding onto the original work clearly does more harm than good.
The only benefit the holder can get is to avoid entering the plot, but the price he has to pay is that if he is not careful enough, he will fall into the abyss and enter the nested poison field.
Once entering this field, the holder will be forced into a chain of suspicion, which can only be terminated by killing the opponent or being killed by the opponent.
A loving family: [Change the perspective. 】
[The original work was packaged in the form of a golden finger and presented to everyone. ]
[But once you have the original work, that’s when the disaster begins. ]
The author has something to say:
Ahhh, I'm twenty minutes late. The first 20+ will randomly drop 20 red envelopes.
Don't worry, this book doesn't have many brains! Although the initial idea of conceiving this copy was indeed to write a horror core that breaks the reader's reading habits and destroys the subconscious of the gold finger, but you have also seen the form of this thing before, which is destined to be not scary at all (.)
