Chapter 28
This notification beep confused Su Bei. He ruffled his messy blond hair and said, "Why is it so fast this time?"
But he immediately realized that, yes, "comic consciousness" said that comics in the real world are updated weekly. When the comic world is updated depends on when the content is enough for a week.
But then again, it's only been two days since the last update, can the content be as much as last time?
Thinking this, he asked the question.
"Manga Sense" is always online. Hearing this, he replied, "Of course the content of these two updates cannot be compared. In fact, the last update had so much content because the author was participating in an event and needed to update it quickly. The last update had to be as long as three sheets."
So that's how it is. Su Bei suddenly realized, but at the same time he felt a sense of absurdity.
The reason of updating the comics frequently because of participating in the event once again made Su Bei have a deep understanding of the fact that he was in the world of comics.
What should I do? I really want to rush out of the screen and beat up the author.
Su Bei let out a long sigh, washed up first, then took out his mobile phone and started reading comics.
From the beginning, you can tell that the author has some thoughts on the story. Not a single plot point is wasted, and the story starts directly from the words Meng Huai said.
[Meng Huai put away the cage and the people inside it, and then gave everyone points as rewards. Jiang Tianming and others argued for Su Bei, so he received the same reward.
After learning that the cage and teleportation are both skills that come with the school, Mo Xiaotian pesters Meng Huai to ask about his abilities and annoys Meng Huai away. Wu Mingbai asks Su Bei if he already knew this, and Su Bei admits it. 】
Such a short plot contains a lot of information, and the barrage of comments never stopped.
"Everyone is doing well. When asking for credit, we didn't forget Su Bei."
"This is why I like Jiang Tianming, he's such a principled kid!"
"The cage is the school's own teleportation device."
"As expected of a supernatural academy, they do have some hidden cards."
"It seems that apart from his basic physical fitness, Meng Huai did not use his special abilities at all when catching the murderer."
"How strong is Meng Huai?"
"Hahahahahaha Mo Xiaotian is so annoying!"
"Subei has known this for a long time"
"Su Bei has so many secrets."
[As the story progresses, everyone invites Su Bei to attend the celebration banquet, and Su Bei finally agrees.]
The feeling of bondage in this scene was well drawn, as if the people were about to become good friends. Unfortunately, it was all acted out, if Su Bei was not the person involved, I might have believed it.
He sighed and continued to read. Su Bei knew that if nothing unexpected happened, the next plot would be the part where he went to Jiang Tianming to experiment with his supernatural powers.
[Sure enough, the screen shows Jiang Tianming, who is washing up in the dormitory. After washing up, he hears a knock on the door, and when he opens the door, he sees Su Bei standing outside.
Su Bei hopes that he can help him test his supernatural powers, and Jiang Tianming agrees. After a series of operations, he gets a gear that can predict Jiang Tianming. Su Bei refuses to use it in front of Jiang Tianming, and asks to keep it secret before leaving. 】
There should be some discussion about this plot in the Su Bei Conjecture Forum, because he has always been very mysterious before, and this is the first time he has shown a little weakness.
But in reality, he was just preparing for a rainy day. It was good to be strong all the time, but reality was not a comic book that could be manipulated at will. He could not guarantee that he would be able to perform with ease every time. The higher you climb, the harder you fall. If you accidentally fail once and you have been very strong before, it would be easy for your character to collapse.
He showed in advance that he was actually a novice and was not familiar with his abilities. If he failed in the future, his fans would find excuses for him. Moreover, this behavior could be interpreted as deliberately taking this opportunity to predict Jiang Tianming's fate. Whether it was success or failure, he had a way to explain it.
[The next day came quickly, and everyone went to Meng Huai's office to hand over the murderer. The hypocritical words of the grandparents not only disgusted the protagonists, but also disgusted the readers of the comics. ]
"Fuck, what kind of couple is this!"
"Anyone who believes what he says is a fool"
“Although it’s pitiful that they lost their child, I can’t feel any pity for them at all.”
"Fortunately, I understand that they listened to Su Bei's suggestion to set up Sun's company, otherwise I would have been hated for nothing!"
"Hahahahahaha I'm looking forward to them leaving campus and seeing this company go bankrupt."
[Meng Huai said that he could not hand over the murderer because there was an organization behind him.
Jiang Tianming noticed Su Bei's gaze and looked over to see the tattoo on the back of the murderer's neck. He did not say anything and asked Su Bei about it, and received a meaningful reply.
Seeing this, Su Bei suddenly realized. He asked how Jiang Tianming discovered the tattoo, and it turned out that he discovered it through himself.
[After the handover, we went to eat. A flashback shot was used here, which was Lan Subing's memory. It can be seen that she was very nervous about the task of searching the restaurant. Because she was the only one in the dormitory, she kept mumbling for a long time. She even secretly went to a small restaurant to find out the situation.
The scene returns to the present, and people who noticed that Lan Subing was a little nervous come to comfort her, and then Su Bei and Mu Tieren send money transfers.
Lan Subing entered her memories again. The scenes of some faceless villains asking her to treat them every time were shrunk into two frames of comics, and she soon returned to the present.
"Is this what a normal relationship between classmates is like?"]
This plot is probably used to attract fans for Lan Subing. Not only are there many tiny blades, but also the imaginative heartbeats of girls. An optimistic and strong silly girl is always lovable. Especially since Lan Subing is the only girl in the protagonist group, she has gained a lot of fans.
The screen was filled with heartache.
Seeing that there were a few comments praising him, Su Bei was immediately satisfied. He had never expected such an unexpected surprise. He was lucky.
[There was a noise outside the box. I opened the door and saw the supporting character Fatty who appeared in the first photo. Fatty wanted to occupy the box by force, but was fought back by everyone. In the end, Su Bei killed him with a fatal blow and let him leave on his own.
After hearing Wu Mingbai's question, Su Bei explained why he knew the other party wanted to treat him. After dinner, everyone left, and the class monitor revealed the information about the monthly exam.
After returning to the dormitory, Jiang Tianming told Lan Subing and Wu Mingbai about the Black Lightning incident. Lan Subing said she would ask her parents to investigate.
"Hahahaha, this fat guy really has a feeling of impotent rage"
"Great! It would be best if we could make him angry enough to use his supernatural powers, and then fire him directly!"
“Su Bei is so handsome!!!”
"You are so amazing, you sent him away so easily. Fatty, why did you bother Su Bei for no reason?"
"Monthly exam... I don't know which class Jiang Jiang will go to after the monthly exam."
"Predict an all-A class!"
After simply browsing the bullet screen, Su Bei was ready to close the comic and go to the forum. However, he accidentally flipped back a page and was surprised to find that there was actually a little plot behind it.
Probably because the author knew that this update was too watery, he specially updated a small easter egg theater.
【Su Bei sat on the bed, took out the gear and threw it into the sky. The gear immediately turned into two fighting lipsticks.
The next whole frame is a picture of Su Bei with a puzzled look on his face and surrounded by question marks, which looks funny and cute.
Finally, Su Bei concluded: "Jiang Tianming will quarrel with others tomorrow"]
The barrage is about to go crazy with laughter.
“Hahahaha, lipstick fighting is okay.”
"I thought prophecy was something very grand, but I didn't expect it to be so ridiculous."
"I am dying of laughter, Su Bei is confused"
"Subei:"
“This can all be interpreted.”
"It's so funny, you know how to interpret it."
"Hahahahahahaha Su Bei: You are not sick
Su Bei had never expected that he would be the protagonist of this comic drama. He couldn't help but ask, "Did you bribe the author?"
"Comic consciousness" refused to be slandered and immediately denied it: "How could it be possible that even the author would not know that the world he created has given birth to intelligence."
Hearing this, Su Bei was stunned for a moment, his eyes widened: "How is it possible that when there are uncontrollable people in the comics, won't the author notice it, such as my appearance?"
He was a character that the author had not designed carefully. Now he appears many times. How could the author not notice something unusual?
This question is a bit difficult to explain. After thinking for a long time, "Comic Consciousness" answered: "I helped you cover it up... To be more precise, it was my existence that prevented the author from realizing your abnormality."
As expected, Su Bei didn't understand: "I can understand what you mean by covering up for me, although I don't understand how you hid it from the author. But I really don't understand the 'to be precise' at the end."
In fact, generally speaking, he would not ask further questions even if he did not understand. After all, it is his own problem if he cannot understand the explanation. Asking about this matter will not only make him look stupid, but also make him look very low in emotional intelligence.
But this matter was different. This matter was too important to him. Su Bei originally thought that since this world was a comic book world, the behavior of all the characters in the plot was controlled by the comic book author. Even he, a character who jumped out of the plot, might have more or less the author's will.
But if "comic consciousness" can cover up for them, so that the author is not aware of his abnormality at all, then he can be sure that everyone has, or at least can have, their own will.
"Comics are an independent world created by the author, but I am not. I am the product of the fusion of the author's will and the comic world." A general explanation of "comic consciousness" is, "To put it simply, I can grasp part of the author's consciousness about "The King of Superpowers"."
Seeing Su Bei's expression gradually change from confusion to enlightenment, it concluded: "So as long as I don't think there is a problem with your existence, the author won't be aware of this problem."
This time Su Bei understood that if the "comic consciousness" was in the author's mind, then it would not prevent the author from paying attention to him.
But the question he wanted to know the most had no answer. "Comic consciousness" is also a part of the author, so when it helps itself, it is the author helping himself. It seems that he is still the embodiment of the author's will.
Forget it, don't think about it for now. In fact, Su Bei also knows that there is no need to rush, and everything will be clear after the comic is finished. If the world continues to operate at that time, then no matter whether everyone was controlled by the author before, they will act according to their own will after that.
Maybe then he can be completely relieved.
