After calmly drinking a sip of water, Xizel stared at the psychological descriptions on the screen and remained silent.
He seemed to have thought about these words, but quoting them out of context would seem a little strange.
...It seems to have deviated from the imagined character setting.
However, seeing the good response, he decided to include this setting as a reference for future performances.
"The boss was attacked?" Xizel raised his eyebrows and recalled the specific situation at that time. "That's... Apple's problem."
When "Crest's Red Apple" was triggered, there was a note saying that it "once poisoned Snow White".
He deduced at the time that this thing might be poisonous, and the boss’s psychological description also included a “more powerful poison”, which meant that the boss’s talent was also poisonous.
"Talent can be countered by the same attribute, and can be suppressed by higher levels." After summarizing these two possible rules, Xizel lowered his eyes slightly, tapping the table with his index finger: "...It's a bit troublesome."
But now is not the time to consider talent level.
Since "Crest's Red Apple" can cause the boss to suffer a great loss, it may be that its poison is really overbearing, or it may be that the level of this ability completely suppresses the boss - in comparison, César is more inclined to the former.
After all, whether this ability is a talent is still unknown.
Moreover, Snow White in the story fell down after taking just one bite of the apple. Even though she was rescued later, it shows that the apple was highly poisonous.
He continued to look down.
"Wait, you don't want to die again, do you, Cesar?"
The brown-haired boy's blurt-out was perfectly captured in the comic.
And Xizel himself had no expression on his face: "..."
He just knew it.
The black-haired boy casually opened the barrage.
[“Again”? “Go to hell”? Xizel and Xia Zuo have never met before, right?]
[I feel there is a hidden plot]
[Hidden plot +1]
【Does Cesar know something? 】
[No, anyone would be surprised if someone told them they wanted to die again! ]
[…You all have lost your focus. Pay attention. What Xizel said to pay attention to was not “Xia Zuo thinks I want to die”, but Xia Zuo’s “again”. ]
[What the hell...what does this mean?]
[Foreshadowing!! This is definitely a foreshadowing!!]
[Wow, I really want to know what the hidden plot is]
Xizel: “…”
The black-haired boy was silent for a moment, then smiled slightly: "Yeah, I want to know too."
At that time, he was mainly focusing on whether the loading of the save file would expose a major problem. It turned out that comic readers were more picky about words than he thought. The existence of barrage and forums would cause clues that were originally discovered by only one or two people to spread rapidly.
The black-haired boy sighed helplessly, his misty blue eyes were harmless and hazy, and he whispered to himself: "It seems that next time... I have to be more careful."
After all, he was just a minor, and he was alone most of the time, so it was inevitable that he made some mistakes, but he was good at finding them, remembering them, and warning himself not to do it again.
"There's a hidden plot..." He rested his chin on one hand as he pondered, "If this is going to happen, I have to find a way to arrange it."
Moreover, it must be consistent with this scene to fill in the "foreshadowing" that emerged due to his omission.
…I always feel like the character is going in a weird direction.
For example, the following picture -
Xizel looked at his own profile in the comic calmly.
——The black-haired boy lowered his eyes slightly and looked out the window without saying a word. The weak light of the early morning cast a layer of light and shadow on him, making him look even more silent, alienated and desolate.
The point where his gaze fell was specially drawn with a frame. It was a happy family of three who were talking and laughing. It was covered with a hazy filter, as beautiful as a childhood dream.
However, when the two comic panels are combined...
Cesar: .
He could already imagine what style would come next.
He turned back calmly.
Sure enough, the next scene was that the black-haired boy silently looked away and pulled down his hood, covering most of his face. A thick shadow spread over a large area of him, as if he wanted to hide himself completely so that he could breathe in peace.
Xia Zuo, who was sitting opposite him, thought of his own experience, and his usually cheerful and optimistic disposition dimmed. He even said without any hope, "There should be fewer human experiments in the Gray Moon Zone."
"..."
The black-haired boy who had been listening to him silently from the beginning finally responded.
He raised his head slightly so that his eyes could meet the other's, and for a moment, the light seemed to penetrate his eyes - in the comics, his eyes finally looked somewhat human, a beautiful blue in the darkness.
The black-haired boy stretched out his hand and patted the head of the person in front of him. His voice was as calm as ever, but it made people feel extremely at ease.
He said something that didn't sound like comfort: "It may not be less, but it is definitely there."
If the dialogue list is removed, some people may think that he has no emotional intelligence, or deliberately pokes people in the sore spot. But readers who have read it before, inexplicably feel a slight pain in their hearts.
[…Will this also be a pain for César? ]
【Why is he so sure? 】
【He has experienced it, he knows it, and he can empathize. 】
A translucent bullet screen appeared on the screen.
Xizel: “…”
Silence, silence is the Absolute Talent tonight.
He typed silently: [Is there a possibility that he really just wanted to persecute Xia Zuo and pull him out of his emotions? ]
Have you all forgotten about César's character?
Oh, by the way, he had acted quite successfully before, and everyone thought he was just a good guy in the protagonist group with a slightly sharp tongue, and he suddenly dropped from the sky, was weak and frail, and there was a 99% probability that he had a tragic life experience.
...Never mind, this is a disguised way of achieving the goal. After all, he doesn't want readers to know the true nature of "Cesare Kleist" too early, and reversals are exciting. The current situation is lovable and will completely divert the public's subsequent speculation.
Xizel decided not to touch the setting made up by the readers and joined the character improvement plan.
His settings were originally started from scratch and added bit by bit. After all, it is a "setting" and involves many things. In the reality with strong freedom, he can only take his time to adapt to the situation and not fall into passivity.
"Not even dogs believe what the Federation says."
Seeing the handsome comic boy who looked almost exactly like himself saying these words on the screen, the heavy atmosphere from before disappeared completely. Xizel couldn't help but slightly curl his eyes, feeling a little amused.
The comments were filled with hahahahaha and criticism of the Federation: [This tone, this wording, is worthy of you, Xizel]
[The Federation can spend a lot of money to build expensive suspension cabins, but the White Elephant District we see is still poor and backward]
[The authorities even shielded criminals (failed to report the black-robed man) and harmed innocent people (arrested the protagonist to take the blame). With corruption at the bottom, it is estimated that the top is not much better.]
[I can only say that what the Federation does is not worthy of even a dog]
Seeing that the last two people were going to prison and were assigned different roles, the barrage of comments suddenly became excited.
[Xizel is so thin, he must be a prisoner, right? Xia Zuo looks like a guard, he is a good fighter, which prisoner dares to fall into his hands?]
[Not necessarily. Think about it carefully. What kind of prisoners need to be guarded? Those with strong fighting ability.]
[Why, my brain flow is not worthy? ]
Xizel, who actually made the decision, looked at these speculations and raised his eyebrows slightly.
The comic ends here, leaving a perfect suspense and making the readers who are following the comics wail.
"The author is really amazing," the black-haired boy said casually, "——The comics he created can actually show the will of the comics and even spawn a world."
The comic will was silent for a while, and then said dryly: "If it weren't for our deal, you would be dead now."
Xizel smiled and said nothing more.
He was just a little curious whether the correct order was really that of cartoonist creation - comic will formation - world derivation.
