Chapter 281
"Oh shit! Look!!"
In the group chat that had always been very active, someone suddenly threw out a link———
#Is it a movie special effect or a real scene#
The person who threw the link said in rapid succession in the group: "Wow! They tore the dimensional wall apart with their own hands! The dream has come true, comic fans!!!"
Although words have no sound, this series of exclamation marks seemed to have their own voice, causing others to type out question marks one after another.
"What do you mean by tearing apart the dimensional wall with your bare hands? What do you mean by making dreams come true?"
"A lot of the things on the trending searches are just hype. Has our Buddhist comic finally started to attract trolls? I actually feel a little relieved..."
"I'm glad you did +1... Does the hype mean there's hope for the surrounding area?"
"Are you going to go out? [Shocked Cat Head.JPG] I'm not well educated, don't lie to me!"
"I want different patterns of baji and postcard pain relief packs. Can you give me more for my wife? I'll buy them!"
"I'm also going to buy it! Just thinking about being able to see my beautiful wife every day, I feel like the corpse spots have faded..."
"What peripherals? I didn't say peripherals!" The person who linked the link saw that the topic in the group began to deviate in another direction, and jumped out to forcibly correct it, "Watch the video, comic fans! Watch the video first! That's not peripherals, that's a real person!"
As he spoke, he threw the link again and stressed again: "Everyone watch the video!!!"
Most readers of "Shan Hai Zhi Yu" are relatively Buddhist. After all, if there is a comic author who occasionally secretly attacks the comic but never responds to the readers, does not explain the plot, ignores the controversy, and does not grant peripheral authorization, and is never online except for updating, even the most Buddhist readers will be forced to become Buddhist.
"Don't rush me! Take a look! Isn't it okay to take a look?"
"You're jumping around so fast. If the video isn't as good as I imagined, be careful or I'll come back and beat you up~"
"Right now! Why are you more anxious than me?"
The readership of "Shan Hai Zhi Yu" is quite active. People who often speak are familiar with each other, and they know each other's personalities after chatting for a long time. Seeing that usually active comic fan so anxious, many people were aroused and clicked on the video link he threw out.
The group chat, which had been maintaining a message rate of 99+, slowed down. After a while, many people suddenly made sharp noises—the group of people watching the video came back.
"Fuck! Oh! Alive! Breathing!"
"This world is a huge "Language of Mountains and Seas"???"
"Some comic fans assured me that the comics were real, but I thought they were just joking - I was the naive one!"
"If you live long enough, you can really see all kinds of magical things [Lie down slowly.JPG]"
"Am I still sleepy? Let me spin a top..."
The trending video spread from this comic fan group to other groups like a virus. In each group, there were a lot of question marks, a lot of exclamation marks, and a series of "WTF"s.
The comic readers who are in the group and active for a long time really like "Shan Hai Zhi Yu". Although the video is very blurry and most of the time it is the back view, and only occasionally there are side and front views, but readers who are familiar with the comics can recognize at a glance that this is the non-Emirates group they have liked for a long time!
Although the image of the two-dimensional paper people is slightly different from that of the three-dimensional ones, any comic reader who watches the video carefully will have an inexplicable certainty in their hearts—it is them.
With the shock of "Oh my god, the comic I followed actually came true, and the protagonist is actually in the same world as me", everyone was dazed and started to browse an entry:
#The protagonist of "Shanhaizhiyu" tears the dimensional wall with his hands#
This entry was associated with #Is it a movie special effect or a real scene#, and passers-by who had never read the comics came in confused and asked: "Is this some new way of publicity for the niche?"
———Then, the readers who had been lurking in the entry and firmly believed that the comics were real were smothered with highly logical and almost impeccable evidence.
Many passers-by have experienced the process of being confused → puzzled → shocked → dazed → doubting the world → swallowing the comic recommendation. Comic website X ushered in a wave of crazy traffic surge. The person in charge of the website was happy and painful. He was happy because this strange comic led to a surge in the reading volume of other comics, but he was painful because many people thought that he had some hidden deal with the mysterious comic author, and tested him openly and covertly. In addition to his peers, there were also many outsiders.
Ever since the comic became a hot topic, the matter has become more and more serious. Not only has the country failed to control it, but it has also increased the promotion of this topic. The person in charge of the website has been interviewed several times, so much so that he would receive a large number of calls after each interview, with threats, inducements, and both soft and hard tactics, which made him exhausted.
Everyone wanted to get information from him, openly or secretly. For example, among so many comic websites, Tianyan chose X. Did he make some secret deal with the comic author? Did he know the relationship between comics and the real world a long time ago, but just wanted to make a profit from it, so he deliberately concealed it? For example, the Ministry of Culture, Sports, Science and Technology interviewed him several times, but he was still able to pretend to know nothing. He was really scheming...
Website owner: "..."
I feel numb, really numb, why is there no snow in June!
Only the website owner knows the pain he is feeling, but netizens who frequently surf the Internet and are active on the hot searches have sensed something unusual.
In the past, even if such works could become trending searches, they would not stay there for too long. The country would not allow unimportant things to dominate the front line for a long time. However, this strange comic has been on the top of the trending searches for five full days, and has not fallen to second place for even a single second - this is not normal at all!
"Is the background of this comic so strong? It's not even on the trending search list?"
"The topic of association is ridiculous. Comics are comics, and reality is reality. How can the two be mixed up?"
"Although I only learned about this comic in the past two days, I stayed up all night to catch up...Everything that happened in the comic can be traced back to the corresponding city. A lot of evidence has been highlighted in the related entries. You can go and have a look!"
"I also suggest that everyone go and watch it. Before watching it, I didn't believe that there were such absurd things in the world, but the country may have known about it a long time ago. Think about it, martial arts classes were suddenly added to the curriculum of primary and secondary schools, and videos circulated on the Internet that showed no trace of synthesis. Most importantly, cities suddenly started to build large-scale shelters a few months ago. Doesn't this explain something?"
"What if this is a gimmick deliberately created by the cartoonist based on national policy?"
"If it was just a gimmick and made such a big fuss, the comic should have been banned long ago, right? Don't underestimate the power of the country!"
"I didn't believe it before, but now I believe it a little... I'll go read that comic too!"
…
The internet was abuzz with the news, and almost everyone who surfed the internet had heard of it, so the tired office workers now had something new to talk about during their breaks from work.
"Lanlan, have you read the comic book that's been going viral online recently?"
Takeharu had just negotiated a big project and was so exhausted that she almost fainted. She raised her head from the pile of documents, with dark circles under her eyes like a panda, and her tone was as vague as a wandering soul: "...Ah? Comics? I don't have time to surf the Internet recently~"
"Lanlan, why don't you ask your boss for a couple of days off?" Shen Ruichu, who was working at the next desk to her, had a worried look on her face. "Work is important, but so is your health."
"I've already written my request for leave, and I'm just waiting for this project to be finished." Wu Yulan slumped down on the thick documents, and his whole body was like a corpse that had crawled out of the ground to bask in the sun, revealing a kind of peaceful calmness. "This project has been discussed for two months, and it's finally done. If I don't rest well, I think I might die suddenly."
Shen Ruichu leaned over from the next room and patted her on the shoulder, and warned her earnestly: "Lanlan, making money is important, but you also need to have a life to spend it!"
The atmosphere in their company is very good, and there is no competition among colleagues. Everyone has basically become friends. More than a year ago, Takehana's parents were defrauded. Everyone knows that she took annual leave and flew back to deal with the matter. Later, when she came back to work, she only said that the problem had been solved and the scammer had been caught. She kept silent about other things. Everyone suspected that although the scammer was caught, Takehana's family suffered heavy losses.
Specifically, Takeya Lan, who is usually diligent at work but would slack off when given the chance, suddenly turned into a workaholic. Not only did she take the initiative to work overtime, but she also actively negotiated projects. Her performance this year has been rising like sesame flowers. It's almost as if she had a big "卷" (roll) engraved on her body. Others feel their scalps tingling just watching her.
Wu Yulan, who didn't know that her image in the eyes of her colleagues had become "a person who was heavily in debt because her parents were defrauded and was forced to work hard to make money to pay off the debt", blinked with emotion at Shen Ruichu's concern and said, "Don't worry, I know what's going on."
The thrilling experience last year seemed to be still vivid in her mind. Compared with the horrible, disgusting, ugly and wretched zombie, Wu Yulan felt ashamed from the bottom of her heart whenever she remembered that she only rewarded the kind-hearted boss with 51,623.67 yuan - she really took advantage of the boss!
Never before had she realized so sincerely the importance of money—money is not everything, but without money, nothing is possible!
So she had to work hard to make money so that she could avoid danger next time... Pah! She never wanted to encounter danger like last year in her life!
Wu Yuran's mind was empty for a while, and then he "torn" himself off the heavy documents that were as thick as a brick: "I'll go and give the boss a leave application."
她卷生卷死兩個月，Boss絕不至于殘忍到不給她放假，但具體能放幾天，還是要靠她自己争取。
在Boss辦公室一番唇槍舌戰後，武羽瀾成功地批到了一周的帶薪休假———作為她啃下這個項目的獎勵之一。
人逢喜事精神爽，武羽瀾下班之後就更開心了，整整一周的帶薪假期，簡直不要更爽！
在回租房的地鐵上，心中放下一塊大石頭的武羽瀾終于有心思來補一下她最近錯過的大事件，但随便點開一個軟件，熱搜都是同一件事。
武羽瀾：“……？”
她依稀記得這本漫畫好像有點小火，但她已經不看漫畫很多年了，但不管漫畫質量怎樣，這麽鋪天蓋地的宣傳一看就不正常，再厲害的爆款也不至于霸占每個APP的熱搜第一吧？
武·莫名有點反骨·羽瀾手指果斷下滑，無視了排名第一的熱搜和與它關聯的話題，資本炒作嘛，這套路她熟。
她點開自己常用的軟件，準備在自己闊別已久的熟悉領域沖浪，但在頁面刷新的時候，大數據的推薦出的內容讓她的手指僵在了原地。
———那是一張板繪的多人圖。
畫師的構圖極為巧妙，視角選在一條爬滿了綠藤的長廊對面，從這個視角能看到五個年輕男女在長廊裏嬉笑打鬧，陽光落在他們身上，為每個人都鍍了一層絨絨的金，他們五個占據了這幅畫面的四分之三，但左下角的四分之一，繪了一個人淺笑的側臉。
光看外貌似乎年紀相差不大，但只繪出了淺笑側臉的人看那五個年輕人的眼神卻好似歷盡歲月滄桑的長輩，他看着不遠處嬉笑打鬧的少年們，浮生半日閑的感覺撲面而來。
他身上的色調極暗，但卻不顯得陰沉壓抑，而是厚重從容，看着就讓人心安，陽光落在兩處長廊之間的空隙裏，半明半暗。
雖然只有半張側臉，還是二次元的板繪，但武羽瀾一眼就認出來了———那是茶館的店主，那位救她的好心人！
她見過店主的真人，所以絕不會錯認，可那位神秘的店主……為什麽會出現在板繪裏？
武羽瀾看着這個內容上#山海之語# #同人# 不夜侯# #非酋團#這幾個tag，無意識地皺起了眉。
怎麽和上了熱搜第一的漫畫有關？
疑惑在心頭越堆越高，她毫不猶豫地點了進去，至于剛剛的反骨……她能屈能伸，這都是小問題！
創作這幅板繪的人似乎是一個熱度很高的同人太太，因為這篇內容的點贊量已經達到了六位數，評論也突破了五位數———這個圈簡直熱的誇張！
武羽瀾将評論往下翻了翻，除掉一些諸如“太太請和我結婚”“仙品，是仙品啊”“飯飯飯飯香香的飯飯”之類的常規評論外，還有一些她不太弄得懂的評論———
“嗚嗚嗚嗚我美強慘的寶貝老婆哇！”
“一明一暗我老婆還處在暗裏，勞斯你是有什麽心事嗎[刀][刀][刀]”
“從天衍那邊吃的刀子已經夠多了，怎麽這邊還要請我吃玻璃糖？”
“老婆別光看着崽他們啊，你過去啊，你和他們一起笑啊！你不要待在角落裏默默的注視他們啊啊啊啊啊———”
“從知道我老婆不是漫畫角色是真人後我就更心疼了，萬年的漫長歲月他一個人到底是怎麽熬過來的？”
武羽瀾越看越迷惑，越看越懵逼，整個人就是一幅大寫的【地鐵爺爺看手機.JPG】的表情包，因為她順着名為#不夜侯#的tag，看到了更多同人圖，有畫的好的，有畫的差的，但無一例外都将店主身上的特點抓的極好，比如黑發鳳眸，比如金絲邊帶鏡鏈的單片眼鏡，比如一身長衫……但無論如何，對着那位神秘大佬叫“老婆”是不是過于大膽了一點！
武羽瀾拿着手機，恍恍惚惚覺得這個世界颠了———她只是大半個月沒上網，世界為什麽就變成了她不認識的樣子？！
吃瓜沒吃明白的武羽瀾極不服氣，她退出了這個tag的頁面，點開了排名第一的熱搜，她今天非把這個瓜吃明白不可！
等她将前因後果捋清楚，進入漫畫網站X，點開《山海之語》準備追更時，無意間瞥了一眼左上角的時間，現在已經七點半了。
武羽瀾心想，時間過得還挺快，竟然已經七點半———七點半了？！
被信息轟炸得滿腦子只剩“離譜但又合理，合理但又離譜”的武羽瀾下意識地去看站點，她懸着的心死了———再坐上四站，她就可以直接去高鐵站買票回家了。
武羽瀾：“……”
她決定将今天的自己改名為無語子。
等坐上正确的地鐵，到家時天都已經黑了，武羽瀾洗了個澡收拾清楚，換上一身舒适的居家睡衣後，她點的外賣也到了。
她右手捏着筷子對準熱氣騰騰的麻辣燙，左手點開漫畫網站X，準備繼續她在地鐵上夭折的“大業”———看漫畫。
漫畫一頁頁翻過去，武羽瀾的表情越來越怪異，因為她是先看的“漫畫為真”的證據，所以在追更漫畫時，她的腦子下意識地就将漫畫裏發生的事和現實裏的事一一對應。
建立在漫畫為真的前提下，現實世界中的新聞更像是給漫畫裏發生過的事找補，就像武羽瀾經歷的僵屍事件，那座山的倒塌被定性為植破壞後水土流失造成的大範圍泥石流。
追到最新更新的時候，明明身體已經困倦到極點，但武羽瀾的大腦就是興奮到睡不着———嘤嘤手撕次元壁、幫助過她的店主名諱不夜侯還在網上有着海量的同人、漫畫是裏世界的記錄……大量的信息讓她的大腦有點過載。
在完整地吃了一遍“瓜”後，很多問題遍豁然開朗，這件事鬧得這麽大官方卻不禁止，某種程度上就說明了官方的态度———
不制止即是默認。
現在倒回去看這大半年裏那些或大或小的變化，武羽瀾才意識到她有多無知無覺。
大腦的興奮勁還沒過去，武羽瀾現在的熱情高漲得吓人，她本身就是漫畫裏僵屍事件的親歷者，對于論壇裏的帖子比他人更容易判斷真假，她花了大半天的時間，在以往許多真真假假的帖子裏捕捉到了一個特殊的群號———那個群很早就堅信漫畫為真，即使被許多漫友調侃嘲笑也沒有改口，他們收人有自己的審核标準，但誰也不知道标準是什麽。
武羽瀾申請了這個群，為了自己能順利加入，她直接坦誠自己就是不化骨殘片事件的親歷者———隔着一道網線，她的膽子也大了許多。
審核出乎意料地快速，武羽瀾幾乎沒怎麽波折就進了群。
這個群裏的人不多，只有十多個，每個人都頂着自己的真名，在武羽瀾進群後，管理員@她，讓她也根據群裏統一要求實名。
群裏的每個人都在線，武羽瀾改完名後，立刻收到了一大堆善意的調侃———
“好好好，咱們這些經歷過漫畫的普通人越聚越齊了！”
“采訪一下這位姐妹，當時被僵屍追着跑是什麽感覺？”
“我想問被大美女送玫瑰花結果被不夜侯前輩拿去包不化骨殘片時你在想什麽哈哈哈哈！”
“漫友你終于知道這本漫畫了，太不容易了！我要吃頓大餐慶祝一下！！”
群友雖然踴躍提問，但也很注意分寸，武羽瀾不想回答的問題他們也沒有追着強行要一個答案，等武羽瀾和他們都打過招呼後，知道了目前的最新情況———那個助力漫畫為真的視頻，拍攝現場是攬月廣場的漫展，他們群裏有個倒黴的小姑娘就是當天的參展人員之一。
好不容易有了新成員，大家現在都很活躍，天南海北地聊着，不知道聊天的話題是怎麽拐的彎，最後拐到了他們今天沒冒泡的群主上。
“我們群主應該也不用介紹了，他是漫畫裏僅次于非酋團的神奇存在！”
剛通宵補完漫畫的武羽瀾腦子裏立刻就冒出了“衛子明”的名字，對于衛子明的運氣，她只能用“嘆為觀止”四個字來形容——明明是辟邪的全陽體，怎麽就倒黴到了這個地步呢？
因為衛子明一直沒冒泡，武羽瀾有點好奇：“群主一直很忙嗎？”
群裏有人積極回複她：“大家都知道衛哥是做恐怖游戲主播的，因為接二連三的倒黴，他已經在考慮改行當旅游主播了，前兩天衛哥在群裏曬了行程———他準備去目前落腳地香火最盛的蛙鳴寺裏拜拜，希望改行這事順利。”
有人附和：“算算行程，今天應該就到了吧？”
還有人說：“衛哥說沫沫這次真是倒了大黴，他準備上香之後在寺廟裏給沫沫求個平安福去去晦氣。”
Some people also asked directly: "Luck is really a mysterious thing. Although Brother Wei has bad luck, he is always saved when he is in life-threatening situations! @Wei Ziming Brother Wei, are you there yet?"
After a long while, Wei Ziming finally replied to the person who @ed him: "I'm here."
Along with the answer, I also attached a photo of the front of the temple, which looked like there were quite a few tourists.
Takeha Lan clicked on the small picture posted by Wei Ziming and couldn't help but sigh that the composition was quite nice, but for some reason, it always felt a little weird.
After chatting with her group members for a while, Wu Yulan began to feel sleepy because the excitement in her brain had passed. She said something to her group members, put down her phone and fell asleep. When she woke up, the message in the group suddenly exploded and turned into a bright red 99+.
Takeuchi: “……?”
She scrolled to the top of the message and slowly scrolled down. Two hours later, Wei Ziming suddenly sent a voice message. She clicked it without thinking too much. Suddenly, Wei Ziming screamed at a very loud volume from her phone:
"Help me call the police, monster—call the police—"
Amid his hoarse screams, he could vaguely hear chaotic footsteps and strange sounds of wind, as if something huge had fallen behind him.
After scrolling down the message board, everyone quickly helped Wei Ziming, who was in trouble, to contact the Foreign Affairs Bureau and report the incident to the police.
Takeuchi: “…”
She seemed to suddenly understand why the top announcement in the group was the police's way of reporting to the police station.
…
The next night, a piece of news related to "The Language of Mountains and Seas" ranked second on the hot search list.
#Enthusiastic citizen Wei Ziming bravely broke into the Wa Ming Temple to rescue trapped tourists and was awarded a banner#
The accompanying picture shows Wei Ziming showing his big white teeth in a standard and desperate smile.
