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 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?
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 buzzing 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.
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 "roll" (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."
She has been in a state of confusion for two months. Her boss will never be so cruel as to not give her a holiday, but how many days she can take off depends on her own efforts.
After a heated argument in the boss' office, Takeya Arashi successfully obtained a week's paid vacation as one of the rewards for taking on this project.
People feel refreshed when good things happen to them. Takeharu is even happier after get off work. A full week of paid vacation is simply the best thing!
On the subway back to her rented apartment, Takeya Takeo, feeling relieved, finally had the time to catch up on the big events she had missed recently. But when she opened any app, the hot searches were all about the same thing.
Takeuchi: “……?”
She vaguely remembered that this comic seemed to be a little popular, but she hadn't read comics for many years. However, no matter how good the quality of the comic was, such overwhelming publicity was not normal. No matter how powerful a hit it was, it wouldn't dominate the top search on every APP, right?
Wu·Inexplicably a bit rebellious·Yu Lan's finger slid down decisively, ignoring the number one trending search and the topics related to it. It was capital speculation, and she was familiar with this routine.
She opened her frequently used software, ready to surf the familiar field she had been away from for a long time, but when the page was refreshed, the content recommended by big data made her fingers freeze in place.
———It was a wooden board drawing of many people.
The painter's composition is extremely clever. The perspective is chosen to be opposite a corridor covered with green vines. From this perspective, five young men and women can be seen laughing and playing in the corridor. The sunlight falls on them, coating each of them with a layer of velvety gold. The five of them occupy three quarters of the picture, but the quarter in the lower left corner is painted with a person's smiling profile.
Judging from their appearance, they seem to be of similar age, but the man who was only drawn with a faint smile on his side looks at the five young people like an elder who has experienced the vicissitudes of life. He looks at the teenagers laughing and playing not far away, and a feeling of leisure in his life comes over him.
The tone of his body is extremely dark, but he does not appear gloomy or depressing. Instead, he looks heavy and calm, which makes people feel at ease just by looking at him. The sunlight falls on the gap between the two corridors, which is half bright and half dark.
Although only half of the face was shown and it was a two-dimensional drawing, Takeha Lan recognized him at a glance—he was the owner of the teahouse, the kind-hearted man who saved her!
She had seen the owner in person, so there was no way she would make a mistake, but that mysterious owner...why did he appear in the painting?
Wu Yulan looked at the tags #山海之语# #番人# #不夜侯# #非明星团# on this content and frowned unconsciously.
How is it related to the comic that ranked first on the trending search list?
Doubts were piling up in her mind, and she clicked on it without hesitation. As for her rebellious behavior just now...she was flexible and this was just a small problem!
The person who created this board painting seems to be a very popular fan wife, because the number of likes for this content has reached six figures, and the number of comments has exceeded five figures - this circle is simply too hot!
Takeuchi scrolled through the comments. In addition to some common comments such as "Madam, please marry me", "It's a fairy product", "Food, food, food, delicious food", there were also some comments that she didn't quite understand -
"Wow, wow, wow, my beautiful and powerful precious wife!"
"One is in the light and the other is in the dark. My wife is still in the dark. Ross, are you worried about something? [刀][刀][刀]"
"I've already eaten enough knives from Tianyan, why are you treating me to glass candy here?"
“Wife, don’t just look at the kids, go over there and laugh with them! Don’t just stay in the corner and stare at them silently———”
"I felt even more distressed after I found out that my wife wasn't a comic book character but a real person. How did she survive all those long years alone?"
The more Wu Yulan looked, the more confused she became. She looked like an emoticon of [Subway Grandpa Looking at Cell Phone.JPG], because she followed the tag called #不夜侯# and saw more fan art. Some were well drawn, some were poorly drawn, but without exception, they all captured the characteristics of the store owner very well, such as the black hair and phoenix eyes, the gold-rimmed monocle with a chain, and the long gown... But no matter what, isn't it a bit too bold to call that mysterious big man "wife"!
Wu Yulan held her phone in her hand, feeling as if the world had turned upside down. She had only been away from the Internet for more than half a month, so why had the world become something she didn't recognize? !
Wu Yulan was very dissatisfied as she didn't understand the whole story. She exited the page of this tag and clicked on the number one hot search. She had to understand the whole story today!
After she had sorted out the whole story, she entered the comic website X, clicked on "Speaking of Mountains and Seas" to catch up, and inadvertently glanced at the time in the upper left corner. It was already half past seven.
Takeharu thought, time flies by so fast, it's already 7:30 - 7:30?!
Wu Yulan, whose mind was bombarded with information and was filled with only "absurd but reasonable, reasonable but absurd", subconsciously looked at the station. Her heart was hanging in the air - after four more stops, she could go directly to the high-speed rail station to buy a ticket home.
Takeuchi: “…”
She decided to change her name to Wu Yu Zi.
By the time she got on the right subway, it was already dark when she got home. After taking a shower and getting ready, Takehana changed into comfortable home pajamas, the takeaway she ordered arrived.
She held the chopsticks in her right hand towards the steaming hot spicy hot pot, and with her left hand she opened the comic website X, ready to continue her aborted "great cause" on the subway - reading comics.
As she flipped through the pages of the comic, Takeha Arashi's expression became more and more strange. This was because she was the first to see the evidence that "the comic is true", so when she was following the comic, her mind subconsciously matched what happened in the comic with what happened in reality.
Based on the premise that the comics are true, news in the real world is more like making up for what happened in the comics, like the zombie incident that Takeha Arashi experienced, and the collapse of the mountain was characterized as a large-scale mudslide caused by soil erosion after vegetation damage.
When she caught up with the latest update, her body was obviously extremely sleepy, but Takehana's brain was so excited that she couldn't fall asleep. The shop owner who helped her tear the dimensional wall with her bare hands, Mingzhao Buyehou, also had a huge amount of fan fiction and comics on the Internet, which were records of the other world... The large amount of information made her brain a little overloaded.
After eating the whole "melon", many questions suddenly became clear. This matter caused such a big fuss but the authorities did not ban it. To some extent, it explains the attitude of the authorities.
Not stopping is tacit approval.
Now looking back at the changes, big and small, that have taken place over the past six months, Takeuchi realized how ignorant she was.
Da Nao's excitement has not yet passed, and Takeharu's enthusiasm is now frighteningly high. She herself is an eyewitness to the zombie incident in the comics, and can judge the truth of posts in the forum more easily than others. She spent most of the day catching a special group number among many true and false posts in the past - that group has long believed that the comics are true, and they did not change their words even after being teased and laughed at by many comic fans. They have their own review standards for recruiting people, but no one knows what the standards are.
Takeharu applied for this group, and in order to join smoothly, she directly confessed that she was an eyewitness to the incident of unmelted bone fragments. Even though there was an Internet cable between them, she became much braver.
The review process was unexpectedly quick, and Takeuchi joined the group with almost no trouble.
There are not many people in this group, only about ten or so, and everyone uses their real name. After Wu Yulan joined the group, the administrator @ her and asked her to use her real name according to the unified requirement of the group.
Everyone in the group was online. After Wu Yulan changed his name, he immediately received a lot of friendly teasing—
"Okay, okay, we ordinary people who have experienced comics are getting more and more together!"
"Interview this sister. What did it feel like to be chased by zombies?"
"I want to ask what you were thinking when a beautiful lady gave you roses but they were taken away by the senior Marquis Buye to wrap up your incorruptible remains, hahahaha!"
"My fellow comic book fans, you finally know about this comic. It's not easy! I'm going to have a big meal to celebrate!!"
Although the group members were hesitant to ask questions, they were also very careful about the limits. They did not force an answer to the questions that Takeuchi did not want to answer. After Takeuchi greeted them all, they learned the latest situation - the video that helped to make the comics real was shot at the comic exhibition in Tuyue Square, and there was an unlucky girl in their group who was one of the exhibitors that day.
We finally have new members, and everyone is very active now, chatting about all sorts of things. I don’t know how the topic of the chat turned to the group owner who didn’t show up today.
"There's no need to introduce our group leader. He is a magical existence second only to the non-chiefs in the comics!"
The name "Wei Ziming" immediately popped into Wu Yulan's mind after she had just finished catching up on comics all night. As for Wei Ziming's luck, she could only describe it as "astonishing" - he was clearly a fully yang body that could ward off evil spirits, so how could he have been so unlucky?
Since Wei Ziming hadn't shown up, Wu Yulan was a little curious: "Is the group leader always busy?"
Someone in the group responded to her enthusiastically: "Everyone knows that Brother Wei is a horror game anchor. Because of a series of bad luck, he has been considering changing his career to become a travel anchor. Two days ago, Brother Wei posted his itinerary in the group. He plans to worship at the most popular Wa Ming Temple. I hope this career change will go smoothly."
Someone agreed: "According to the itinerary, we should arrive today, right?"
Someone else said: "Brother Wei said that Momo was really unlucky this time. He planned to burn incense and pray for Momo's safety and blessings in the temple to get rid of the bad luck."
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.
