Chapter 48: The time of reckoning Listen to me, thank you old thief.
Li Ming clicked on a liquidation post with trembling fingers:
[Subject: I’m sorry, I’m the one who first guessed that Li Ming was the prophet of civilization. I kowtow to Li Ming. I’m a villain who didn’t recognize the great man and actually mistook the savior for a prophet (kneeling)]
【1L OP: (picture.jpg) (picture.jpg) (link) (link)】
[2L OP: The above is my post about the relevant remarks, please give me some praise.]
【3L: Sigh...】
【4L: Oh, it turns out to be you. 】
【5L: Boss, why are you here? 】
【6L: Looking back now, I still think it makes sense. I am really not suitable for thinking (scratching my head).】
[7L: You are really awesome. You even went back to read so many episodes of the previous game, although you still guessed wrong in the end hahaha (crying and laughing)]
…
Seeing this, Li Ming remained silent.
He trembled as he returned to the forum homepage and checked several other posts with similar titles. Except for the last post, which was a joke, the other posts were highly similar in content.
It seems to come from a template.
"It should be considered some kind of spontaneous entertainment activity." Li Ming suddenly calmed down after seeing this. After all, up to now, the forum has fallen into several pits in the speculation of the plot of the sequel.
If we want to summarize the results now, we can only use one sentence to describe it:
The record is ugly.
Li Ming then clicked on a discussion post with a title that looked reasonable:
[Topic: Why do I feel that the current development is very reasonable? In the previous game, Jiang Huai met the witch in the second copy and learned the main storyline in the second copy. Now it is the same for Li Ming...]
[1L OP: The Academy dungeon successfully completed two novice dungeons.]
[2L OP: Although I didn't expect Li Ming to follow this pattern, I admit that the plot is great. It is already certain that the next main plot will be the Abyss Line.]
【3L: Mainly because I really didn’t expect it. 】
【4L: I am still confused now.】
[5L: Don’t mention that Li Ming couldn’t calm down afterwards. I was really stunned when I saw that episode. The amount of information was really too much.]
【6L: It’s so exciting. 】
[7L: Now looking back at the cover: What is the choice this time? Humanity, or disaster..."
So this is the plot that the old thief was referring to.]
[8L: Now I understand why Li Ming is the male lead. It seems that Lao Zei is really ready to fill the hole]
[9L: Thank you Lao Zei for reminding us at the end of the Academy instance: Li Ming is not a prophet of civilization. Otherwise, I think my brain would have shut down when I saw that sentence.]
【10L: No wonder the old thief pointed it out. If he hadn't pointed it out, once the prophet came, the forum would be littered with corpses.】
[11L: No wonder, old thief]
【12L: Listen to me, thank you old thief. 】
【13L: Listen to me, thank you old thief. 】
【14L: Listen to me, thank you old thief. 】
…
"Hahaha..." Li Ming couldn't help laughing when he saw this.
Previously, he had been worried that the forum would be full of arguments, but in the end, these readers were much more receptive to the plot than he had imagined. Could it be that there was a foreshadowing in the comics before?
Or do readers just hate it when someone steals someone else's spotlight?
Li Ming fell into deep thought about this.
He subconsciously searched for topics related to "Savior":
[Subject: How did you accept it so quickly? Li Ming is the savior now, so what is Jiang Huai? I can't calm down at all]
【1L OP:
Wow wow, this is a development I never thought of (excited). It’s time for the prophets to start the Huashan Sword Contest hahaha]
[2L: Peak showdown, okay?]
【3L: Let’s wait and see who will win and who will lose. 】
[4L: Come on, let me see whose prediction is the most accurate in the finale, hahaha. The prophet who wins will be on the altar, and the prophet who loses will go to the abyss.]
[5L: Laughing to death hahaha]
[6L: Why does it feel like it’s almost like running a gambling game… (helpless)]
[7L: Don’t get too excited]
【8L OP: But now looking back at the scene where the witch said Jiang Huai was the savior, I suddenly realized. It turns out that the old villain had already started laying the groundwork here. 】
【9L: Indeed, I had anticipated this. 】
[10L: Is that so?]
【11L OP: How do you all know this? 】
[12L: The storyline where the little witch admits that 'Jiang Huai is the savior' is in the later stages. She didn't want to make a prediction about the savior at first, but she didn't expect that other prophets would reveal it first.]
[13L: As the only S-class prophet in the world, if she remained silent, it would only wipe out the hope of the survivors. Especially since the background at that time was:
Two S-level Apocalypses fell one after another, and nine cities fell into the hands of the Lost. 】
【14L: Humans need hope, even if it is false. 】
[15L OP: This interpretation seems to be correct.]
【16L: Oh.】
【17L: But don’t forget, the little fortune teller said that she is responsible for the results of her predictions.
She acknowledged her own predictions and remained silent because she felt that her predictions were not clear enough for the listeners to understand. If fate was disturbed, it would affect the final result.
[18L: Actually, it is true... No one can successfully decipher it now...]
【19L: So who is right? 】
[20L: Now I just hope Li Ming can ask the little fortune teller QAQ. Ahhh, why did Li Ming crash at that time? Why didn’t he ask what the Messiah is? ]
[21L: Child, stop talking nonsense (kind)]
[22L: Child, Li Ming doesn’t even know the existence of the Messiah. (Kind)]
[23L: Child, even if Li Ming knew, the prophet would not understand. Only the prophet can understand the prophet's prophecy, and what the prophet conveys to us are the words that the prophet has simplified. (Kind)]
【24L：
Prophet (trying to be calm): I have no idea about the future of this civilization, nor do I have any idea about reviving my own civilization. But I will never help them.
Look at this sentence——
Child, do you really think that a prophet is someone who can help us interpret prophecies? (Kind)】
…
"Hahaha..." Li Ming's face was filled with smiles again when he saw this. However, he quickly shook his head and said self-deprecatingly: "Sorry, Li Ming knows, but Li Ming is down."
Li Ming's system was completely down.
"It seems that Baishan had laid a foreshadowing before." Li Ming was in a very happy mood. In his heart, he looked up to Baishan Kele, the cartoonist who drew "Misty City".
But that’s not right—
Because Baishan paints the story of their world.
"Okay..." Li Ming said to himself with an inexplicable regret, "Although I really want to continue to see what you guys have come up with, I'd better go read the comics first."
He had to be careful with Baishan, lest the other party lay some ambush that he was not aware of.
Li Ming clicked on the comics location he had seen last time. He remembered that after reading the forum, he used the "Rainy Night Horror" copy as an excuse to force Jiang Huai to reveal his family composition.
'Jiang Huai, are you interested in revealing your family background?'
The comic version of myself hurried into the bathroom after saying this, so I didn't see Jiang Huai's lonely and troubled look on the sofa:
[Li Ming is a very cautious person]
[Jiang Huai doesn't want to say]
[If Jiang Huai really wanted to tell, he wouldn't have kept it secret for so long. ]
[But this is indeed critical, because who knows if there will be a second derivative later. It is better to be cautious. ]
[Look at Jiang Huai's tangled little expression, so cute]
…
Li Ming was helpless seeing this. He still remembered that after he came back, Jiang Huai was still struggling not to reveal it, and it was not until he said "How about one for one" that he finally revealed it.
Maybe he realized that his behavior was inappropriate.
However, Li Ming felt that after Jiang Huai told this story, he was obviously much more relaxed.
【Sister*2】
[She was almost the happiest girl in the world. ]
[Mother: from a scholarly family, father: a high-ranking government official;
Two brothers, one biological brother and one adopted brother, but they both love her.
If nothing unexpected happened, she would have never had to know the hardships of daily life, but the accident came too suddenly...】
[In fact, from the perspective of the Apocalypse One, one can guess the reason...]
[Apocalypse people with similar talents can sense each other's existence. 】
[The mistake is that the information is not circulated]
[Who could have guessed that the queen was born with a natural talent? Only she, a revelation in the sequence path, could discover her specialness]
【well……】
[To be honest, I always feel that someone is controlling the queen. The queen finally responded to her identity until the last moment of her life. She had the opportunity to reveal it before, but she chose to remain silent.]
[This is similar to a child who was abducted and sold but doesn't want to be recognized by his biological parents after being found by them, right? ]
[I feel it is understandable. ]
[But the problem is that no one can control the Queen. She is already an S-class Apocalypse, and there are only a handful of people in the world who can defeat her.]
…
What are they talking about? Li Ming was suddenly stunned when he saw this.
He subconsciously returned to the page he had just visited, patiently waiting for the comments to reappear. A few comments had disappeared, but they still pointed out the identity of Jiang Huai's sister.
Queen, S-class Apocalypse, Blood Moon's Nest, South, Sister, Fallen...
Li Ming recalled the information he had seen on the forum, and suddenly realized the reason why Jiang Huai chose to come to the south. And Jiang Huai did exactly what he said at the beginning, and was rushing to where his sister was.
"What..." Li Ming suddenly laughed, "So this is the reason..."
Soon in the comic, Li Ming, who had lost his temper due to Jiang Huai, confessed his family:
【Thanks to JAC】
[Thanks to Jiang Huai who does not want to reveal his family background]
【Thanks to JAC】
[I finally got to know Li Ming’s family situation for free hahahaha]
[Come on, I'll tell you there's something wrong with Li Ming's identity! ]
[This background... (gasps)]
[Why do I feel that Li Ming's experience is not good? Isn't this kind of experience usually given to villain bosses? Oh, it turns out that Li Ming has a living sister, so it's okay]
[Generally, I think the old thief will stab my sister in this situation]
[If Li Ming was a supporting role, I would suspect that the old thief would kill his sister with a knife, making Li Ming evil. But Li Ming is the protagonist of the sequel, so now it’s a bit uncertain...]
[Wouldn't it be better if they were the protagonist's family members? Didn't Lao Xiao get killed anyway? He was still the second male lead, and Jiang Huai died in the finale (smile)]
[Stop talking, stop talking, I’m starting to get scared]
…
"Haha." Li Ming shook his head in disdain. "There are a lot of readers who only think about stabbing people all day long, but when they really do, they will cry and scream."
It's really disgusting.
