Chapter 94
"Wu Hu! My old man, my idol is going to have a biography!"
"I said if we were to compete on popularity, he would definitely be voted first!"
It was raining today, and during the 40-minute break, the students were all resting in the classroom. Yan Momo heard her deskmate and the two girls at the table in front of her were excitedly sharing something in low voices.
She listened in a daze, hearing things like "male god", "number one in vote", "popularity value", etc. It sounded like they were voting for a comic book that they liked very much.
The school stipulates that students are not allowed to bring mobile phones during school hours, but there are always countermeasures for every policy. There are always students and teachers who fight wits and courage to hide their mobile phones in various corners. For example, they stick them under the stool with wide tape, put them behind the air conditioner, and hollow out thick dictionaries... In order to keep their own entertainment during class breaks, everyone can be said to rack their brains.
Yan Momo's desk mate and the person sitting in front of her put their heads together furtively, with their school uniforms covering their heads. Her desk mate was flipping pages while paying close attention to the windows and doors. She would put away her phone immediately if there was any movement. Yan Momo felt tired just by watching her.
But the obviously poor quality of this entertainment was erased by the surge of adrenaline, and the two of them watched it with a guilty conscience, and they watched it with great joy. After catching up with the latest update, Yan Momo's deskmate and the desk in front of her reluctantly separated.
Yan Momo listened to their movements gradually becoming quieter, and the sleepiness that had just faded away came back. Her eyelids drooped and she slowly closed her eyes. Before she fell asleep, she felt her deskmate poking her arm.
"Momo...Momo———" her deskmate whispered, "What happened to you these days? Why are you so depressed every day?"
Yan Momo didn't even open her eyes, and replied vaguely: "Nothing, just a little insomnia."
Actually not.
After being followed by a drunk with bad intentions that night, she rushed into a store at the end of the commercial street in a panic and met a very handsome store owner.
Everything that happened afterwards made her feel as if she were dreaming—the bad guy who turned a blind eye to her, the butterfly with a dotted tail that led her...fear and shock intertwined, terror and excitement mixed, she vaguely felt that she seemed to have touched the extraordinary side of this ordinary world.
Yan Momo likes to read all kinds of novels and comics. She has also fantasized about the existence of magic, cultivation, metaphysics and the like. But when she seemed to have really come into contact with these things, she was excited but also a little bit discouraged.
This may be the "Ye Gong Hao Long" that the teacher talked about in class.
Yan Momo sighed silently in her heart. The reason why she was so sleep-deprived these days was that every night after her parents fell asleep, she would quietly take out her cell phone, cover herself with the quilt, and search for something related to this—
[Does magic really exist? ]
[Can small props that are invisible to the human eye create naked eye holographic effects? For example, butterflies. 】
[What is the probability that there is a master hiding in the commercial street where things are sold? 】
[Is the saying “great people hide in the city” reliable? 】
…
She spent several hours searching, but didn't get many reliable answers. However, she got a lot of recommendations for the novel. So she went to read the novel after searching for a while.
Yan Momo collected her scattered thoughts and realized that her deskmate was still talking:
"…Although you haven't read many comics, I'll give you a strong recommendation this time! I guarantee you'll be rewarded if you get into it!"
Yan Momo opened her eyes guiltily and asked in a low voice: "Can you say it again?"
She didn't listen carefully just now.
People who sell Amway are usually very patient, and Yan Momo's deskmate is no exception. She took out her phone from her desk pocket and put it in front of Yan Momo's eyes: "Look! My idol! Look at his detailed painting skills, look at his high-quality updates, get into it quickly, Momo! He's worth it!"
Her classmate heaved a sigh of relief after she finished speaking. Luckily, she almost said "my wife". It's okay to say it online, but it's really embarrassing offline.
Seeing Yan Momo staring at her phone intently, she couldn't help but feel proud: "I'll tell you, you—hey, Momo, why did you snatch my phone? Don't be so obvious, be careful to get caught by the teacher if you are so arrogant!"
Her deskmate wailed quietly, "He's already taken it from me once, and if he does it again, he'll give it to me at the end of this semester!"
Amid the wailing of her deskmate, Yan Momo put down the book in front of her and put her phone behind the book, but while doing this, her eyes never left the phone screen.
like.
Yan Momo sighed in her heart.
Why did the mysterious shop owner that night look so much like her new boyfriend?
The owner's outfit is 80% similar to the one in the comics, but there are always differences between real people and comics, so it's not that similar. But once you have read the comics and then compare them with the real people, the similarity will become more and more obvious and cannot be ignored.
Yan Momo's heart suddenly started pounding, and he felt as if he had discovered a big secret.
"Yutong—" Yan Momo tried to calm herself down, "What's the name of this comic?"
"I knew you would like this style of painting!" Classmate Xiang Yutong didn't feel that there was anything wrong with Yan Momo. She was happy that her recommendation was successful. "It's called "Language of Mountains and Seas"! It's number one on the new list of Manga X!"
Yan Momo blinked a few times quickly: "Yutong, what's the name of your idol?"
"Bu Ye Hou!" Her deskmate pulled her aside and kept talking, "You are so lucky to be in this comic now. The next comic update will include a solo biography of my male idol!"
Her desk mate talked a lot, and Yan Momo felt like she seemed to have heard it, but also seemed like she didn't.
After returning home in the evening and finishing her homework, Yan Momo couldn't wait to take out her mobile phone and found the comic website X. The cover of "Speaking of Mountains and Seas", which was ranked first on the new list, was particularly clear.
She clicked on the first episode and read the latest chapter in one go. Only then did she realize that her eyes were dry and sore, and her palms were covered in cold sweat.
It's right...all of it is right.
The comics didn't have too many backgrounds, and the places with large backgrounds were also treated vaguely, with only rough outlines drawn. But from these rough outlines, Yan Momo discovered that the outline of the commercial street that appeared in the comics was almost a one-to-one restoration of the commercial street she escaped to that night.
Yan Momo's heart was beating so fast that for a moment she suspected that everything drawn in this comic was real!
With comics as reference, many things can be traced. For example, the Ferris wheel accident in the comics, although there is no trace of it in the social news section of Baidu, she can find out that it is true by clicking on the local forum; for example, the fragments of incorruptible bones escaped and turned ordinary people into zombies. She did feel that there were a lot more hearses on the street recently; the collapse of the auction house on the ground was claimed to be caused by soil erosion and landslide, and she did find news about the landslide on the Internet...
Each and every thing seemed to tell her that everything in the comics was real.
Yan Momo's mind was in a mess. Her fingers slid unconsciously across the screen and accidentally poked into a vine pattern. Then she discovered the comic forum of "Shan Hai Zhi Yu".
The comics forum is divided into two sections, [Plot Discussion Area] and [Fan Creation Area]. Yan Momo entered the [Plot Discussion Area] first, where traces of past hot posts were left. She easily found a post called [Rational Discussion, the Possibility of "Shan Hai Zhi Yu" Existing in the Real World].
Yan Momo thought she had met someone who had the same doubts as her. After clicking on it excitedly, she found that the direction of the post... seemed a little different from what she had imagined?
After dazedly receiving a large amount of information, Yan Momo suddenly felt that the comic author Tian Yan deliberately took materials from reality in order to confuse readers between reality and comics, so that the comics would "confuse the real with the fake" to satisfy his evil taste.
This post really makes sense!
Yan Momo was almost convinced.
But she soon realized that something was wrong. The poster of this post only took a photo of the back in the amusement park. It was not uncommon for six people to go to the amusement park together. If Tian Yan really went to the amusement park that day, it would be normal to use those six people as material.
But she is different here!
She had witnessed with her own eyes the "Never-Sleeping Marquis" who was highly similar to the one in the comics. They were dressed almost the same, both ran a store, and were located on the same commercial street... The probability of such a complete overlap was smaller than an asteroid hitting the earth!
Yan Momo, who had just discovered the new world, felt very confused. She typed and deleted in the dialogue box, and deleted and typed again and again. After repeating this process several times, she finally left a message in this post hesitantly.
[OP, I think what you said might be true. Don't be misled by other people in the thread. Trust your intuition.]
If Tianyan is from Chongming City and knows the place very well, then how do we explain everything about Wutong Town presented in the comics?
It can't be that Tianyan grew up in Wutong Town when he was young, and went to Chongming City when he grew up, right?
That's outrageous!
Yan Momo dropped her phone and buried her head in the pillow, uttering a low "Ahhhhhhhhhhh." She was struggling over whether or not to post on the forum and share her experience.
It's impossible that other comic fans on the forum can come up with a reasonable explanation for her. She saw the butterfly with a star-shaped tail with her own eyes that night...
Yan Momo rolled around on the bed two or three times, picked up her cell phone with disheveled hair, but still hadn't made up her mind.
If everyone is just joking about it, then it doesn't matter how it's posted. If it's true, then why is she the only one who feels that something is wrong when these mysterious beings are made public in the form of comics?
Yan, a senior novel lover, Momo, instantly filled in a lot of things in her mind, even many terrifying third-party forces.
She shuddered, exited the plot discussion area which made her feel a little stressed, and clicked into the fan creation area. The various posts were like a dazzling array of goods, which made her eyes widen involuntarily.
Wow! Is this something she can see?
