Chapter 14
Yu Tu was unaware and opened the first page of the third chapter while holding the tablet.
The story of this episode begins with Gu Hongying leaving the barren mountain. He walks into the town around noon, wearing a beggar's outfit that looks like he has rolled in the mud. His outfit is so eye-catching that two or three passers-by on the street stare at him with puzzled shock.
Because of his appearance, he knocked on five doors in a row, but was rejected by all of them. The comic's author seemed to have some kind of bad taste, not only focusing on Gu Hongying's current state, but also giving a close-up of each rejection. Gu Hongying appeared to be calm on the surface, but in fact, the little man outside the storyboard that represented his mood had already fallen down and started crying, almost drowning the entire bubble frame.
[I’m sorry I shouldn’t laugh, hahahahahaha, oooh you’re so miserable!]
[There are three small pictures specially drawn in a storyboard just now—not long after the town cadres finished the anti-fraud propaganda for the town residents!]
[Look at how good the grandpas and grandmas are at preventing fraud, hahahaha———]
Amid the merciless ridicule of the comic readers, Gu Hongying, with Sanqing squatting on his head and a desperate expression on his face, knocked on the sixth door.
[This door looks really nice...]
[Let’s take a gamble. Will Yingying be rejected again this time?]
[This is the sixth one! Oh, change your words! You really look like a scammer!]
Under the anticipation of comic readers, the sixth door was opened, and the reviews suddenly reached a small climax—
[Wow! What a cute boy!]
[He looked at Yingying’s expression—hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha. I laughed so hard that I have to rely on hearing aids to live within a hundred miles!]
[It’s that feeling of being terrified and then having your eyes go dark!]
[Look how scared the kid is! ! ! ]
These numerous comments froze Yu Tu's expression. Comic readers thought he was frightened by Gu Hongying's current image, but the truth was, the two-dimensional male protagonist suddenly appeared in the three-dimensional world, even in front of him - that scared him!
From the perspective of the comics, his shock is so obvious?
Yu Tu put the tablet down, took a deep breath, and tried his best to calm himself. He heard some rustling noises, but thought it was a bird roosting in the tree at night, caught in the noisy cicadas' chirping, so he didn't pay much attention to it.
After taking a few deep breaths, Yu Tu picked up the tablet, quickly skipped the silly dialogues when he first appeared, and continued reading.
In the comic, Gu Hongying was brought into the small building. In the author's writing, the small building was extremely beautiful, with a wall made of green bricks, a lush bamboo forest in the corner, and blooming flowers planted beside the stone slabs on the grass in the courtyard, with their petals stretching out and swaying in the wind. Vibrant vines were entwined on the built shelves, with clusters of beautiful flowers hanging from the vines. Under the flowers was a quaint stone table and stone bench, with several home-cooked side dishes on the table, a combination of meat and vegetables, the colors were tempting, and although it was just a painting, I seemed to smell the aroma of the food at the tip of my nose.
[He is a cute boy who can cook!]
[This kid hasn’t learned enough about fraud prevention!]
The comics did not describe the scenes that happened in the courtyard of the small building in detail, but only focused on a few things -
One was Sanqing pretending to be dead, which attracted Yu Tu to rush over to check; one was testing their spiritual power and issuing an admission letter to Yu Tu; and one was a brief introduction to Miller University, which appeared at the very beginning and whetted the appetite of all readers.
[Sanqing is so cute when he pretends to be dead. He even squints his eyes to see if Tutu is coming over.]
[This familiar scene, as if Vision had just opened the door for Yingying...]
[Bunny: If a person can be fooled once, he will be fooled a second time (for example, if he is tricked by Sanqing, he can see it)! ]
Yu Tu: “…”
He slowly closed his eyes.
From the comics, he finally realized how stupid his behavior that day was. The worst thing was that, like Gu Hongying, he was given a new nickname, Yu Tu, which is a homonym of the Chinese character "荼" (Tu) - the reason was that he looked very much like the little white rabbit in the nursery rhyme that was deceived by the big bad wolf.
Yu Tu: “…”
He really isn't like that! This is a deliberate illusion created by the comics!
People do not share the same joys and sorrows, and comic readers are unable to perceive Yu Tu's sadness and pain. The plot of the comic progresses in an orderly manner amid the hilarious comments.
The joy in the small courtyard ended, and Gu Hongying said goodbye to his new friends. The perspective of the comic followed him all the way to the station. As the train started, the comic background changed from a high day to colorful clouds, and then to a starry sky.
The comic gave a close-up at this time. Gu Hongying was sitting in the window seat with his palms pressed against the window glass, looking up at the outside of the car. Sanqing was squatting above his head, and the stars were reflected in his eyes.
In the comic, Gu Hongying asked: "What is that?"
As his gaze moved toward the sky, an extremely gorgeous and unforgettable picture occupied the viewer's eyes——
In the dark sky, the moon is blooming like fireworks, as if the Milky Way is flowing all over the sky, but the Milky Way is dim. The light it releases is bright and gentle, cruising in the sky and gathering into several light spots. These light spots are like dewdrops hanging on grass leaves, falling down under the heavy burden. The moonlight sprinkles on the earth, magnificent and gentle.
Sanqing flapped his wings, with shock in his round eyes: "It's Emperor Liujian! How come it's a month early?"
No one could answer its shock, but in its eyes, a light spot grew from small to large, and then——
The light spot ignored the thick glass and hit Gu Hongying directly on the forehead!
Gu Hongying was knocked backwards, with mosquito coils appearing in his eyes. Sanqing and the light spot rolled down onto Gu Hongying's knees.
The light spot finally turned into an olive-shaped object with silver liquid flowing inside, shining brightly.
The blinding light filled the entire field of vision. When the light dimmed, it represented the borders of the words, and the sharp edges almost pierced the split screen.
"Brat, hand over the Emperor's Plasma! Or I'll kill you!"
The comic changed its perspective, cutting from Gu Hongying to Yu Tu.
Under the inky sky, in the silent sandy land, a black panther with sleek fur stepped on the boy's neck with its huge claws. The boy's jaw, elbows, and knees were covered in blood, and the wounds were mixed with sand and soil, making the whole place a mess.
The black panther stretched out its claws and lightly scratched the boy's neck with an extremely arrogant attitude. Blood flowed through his skin and slid down his collar.
It lowered its head, its golden eyes showing the cruelty unique to wild beasts, as if it was thinking about how to kill the prey in its hands.
At this critical moment, thin green vines broke out of the ground under its feet and quickly wrapped around the black panther's neck!
The seemingly fragile vine was actually indestructible. It entangled the black panther's limbs without resistance, hanging it in mid-air and making it roll its eyes.
The beast that was so powerful just now now looks like a poor little kitten.
The boy under the black panther’s claws was finally rescued at this time. He climbed up from the sand and sat on the ground with wounds all over his body. At this time, the comic gave a horizontal page—
It occupies the lower half of the page. At the top is a sky full of stars and gentle moonlight. Below is sand with almost no green and mountains looming in the night. Against the background of stars and mountains, there is a person standing there quietly.
The moonlight seemed to favor him especially. It fell on his black hair, on the monocle with a chain hanging on his face, and on his dark green gown embroidered with golden patterns...
As he walked over, green rolled under his feet, spreading vitality all the way, as if he was a god walking on earth.
The ferocious beast was suspended in the air, and the anxious humans looked up, their eyes intertwined.
The strong and the weak, at this moment, are fully displayed.
The picture is frozen at this moment, with stars and green vines, mountains and moonlight.
