Chapter 154 Who is it?
Why?
"Because you want to."
"Because He Yuchen wanted to."
The former was said by the alien spirit He Jingtong from the outside world, and the latter was said by the author Jing.
At the same time, the system also raised another question: [Can you tell me why the alien spirit He Jingtong thought that Jiang Nan could be rescued? ]
The system actually instinctively discovered that there was a big problem in this matter, but it did not dare to assume that possibility.
Although from the moment it asked this question, the author Jing never deliberately deceived the system, he would definitely give an explanation.
"Why?"
"Maybe it's because he also has a memory of me sitting on a plane and talking to you while reading comics."
The system's program was in disarray, and at one point the system space where the author's scene existed seemed to collapse for a moment.
[You know my existence! And you even know the existence of another world!? ]
The author Jing did not respond, but continued, "It could also be because he has never experienced the pressure of He Jingtong resisting fate."
"Although I, as the author, wanted to create a character who fought against fate but was repeatedly crushed by it... But in fact, I did not create that character. That is a fact."
"The facts prove that He Jingtong has always been oppressed by fate."
Author Jing was flipping through the first half of the finished product of the 18th chapter, and said: "To save He Wanchen, what needs to be changed is the location where the incident happened, and to save the patient who would have been killed by the spirit at will. In addition, in the end, the spirit is forced to upgrade, so that the absolute fate in the comic is changed from beginning to end. This is how fate is truly changed."
"But the same behavior cannot be replicated on Jiang Nan."
Fu Zexun had long wanted to use spiritualists to create artificial spirits, and had chosen Jiang Nan long ago. It was impossible for the eighteen laboratories to be destroyed by a meteorite falling from the sky.
This cannot be changed.
"The prerequisite for changing one's destiny is that time, place, and events must all be reversed. Otherwise, success is impossible. This has been proven from the beginning."
[However, what the alien He Jingtong said must be the same idea you once had, right?] The system was indeed shocked. The alien He Jingtong knew that the system and the other world existed.
But after the brief shock, there was nothing particularly shocking.
Because the system knows that the alien He Jingtong and He Jingtong, and even the author Jing who seems to have cut off everything and appeared as a consciousness alone... they are actually the same person.
[Yes, that's right. It was inevitable that Jiang Nan couldn't be saved after verification from many aspects, but you must have thought about why you couldn't save him, right?]
[That's why He Jingtong, a spirit who has no normal human emotions, can come up with the hypothesis that he told Cui Tong everything at the beginning. This is only because you thought about it and then he said it out loud.]
[What you want is a tragedy, and only you are sad, that is the script you want. You want to show in the hearts of comic readers in another world that you single-handedly resisted the fate of the entire world. This is the character you give yourself.]
[But you didn’t do it…]
System processes are running wildly.
Everything that happened in the past keeps reappearing in the program, over and over again.
[The Jiang Nan incident was the biggest failure because he died. This is a harsh conclusion from an extreme non-emotional perspective, but it is also true. You originally wanted to be the only one in the tragedy, but reality told you so early on that you couldn't do it.]
It was just a program, but the system felt like it was going crazy.
[I once said that you are a rational madman, but you have actually been crazy for a long time, but you are still maintaining your rationality.]
[He Jingtong, He Jingtong of Alien, the original He Jingtong of Alien, or the current author Jing, no matter how you slice and dice them, they are all you, and you are all them...]
[Are you really not in pain? ]
The system may know what it is saying, or it may not.
It doesn't have the idea of getting an answer, it just keeps speaking its mind.
[So what if you have accumulated 100 million points? So what if you go to the third dimension? So what if you turn yourself into a legendary spirit, mastering time and space, and even being able to come back after going there? So what?]
[I even wanted to throw this unfinished paper in my tutor's face! But I couldn't say that I regretted opening the paper...]
If it regretted it, then what would He Jingtong be like now?
Error?
[What do you want? Will the final result be good or bad? I don’t care about the thesis grade anymore, and I don’t care about the line that my advisor has drawn that we can’t have too close a relationship. I just want to know what kind of ending you will give yourself.]
[…I hope it is good, I even pray that it is good.]
If the system didn't ask, if the author Jing didn't say it, then there would never be a second consciousness other than the author Jing, knowing clearly what He Jingtong was thinking.
What the system found most difficult to accept was: [You didn't even present He Jingtong's ideas in the comics in the form of narration.]
[That can obviously be exchanged for more points. ]
[You can't be the sole author Jing, nor can you be extremely profit-oriented and seek higher comic popularity for yourself. But you can't be the sole He Jingtong either, because you have read the comics a long time ago, and you know that you will become a spirit, and you know that you will mess up the world...]
【End everything with death.】
Why is "Other" not popular at all? Why did even the original author forget about this work?
The system cannot give answers from a non-human perspective.
But the system feels that if it knows that a story has a very bad ending, then even if it is attracted to the story, it will probably never dare to go deeper.
Choosing He Jingtong as the subject of his thesis was also an attempt to save the bad ending.
But that ending, now looking back, seems to have led directly to...
The author Jing waited until the system finished speaking before launching into the first half of Chapter 18, saying calmly, "I'm not as noble as you say."
"If '...everyone just needs to kill me according to my idea' is not a confession that can earn points subjectively, then what else is it?"
The system laughed angrily.
It really wants to say, what do you think this is?
A comic protagonist with a great personality doesn't necessarily have to have too many confessions, but he definitely can't have as few confessions as He Jingyi.
Otherwise, how can readers understand it?
If you don’t tell me, who will know?
If you don't open your mouth, who will know what you are thinking?
The protagonist needs to tell the audience from the protagonist's perspective what he thinks, what he does, what purpose he wants to achieve, and what he will think after that purpose is achieved.
This is the character part.
But for the role that He Jingtong presented in the comic book "Alien", he was the only one who did it.
What he did, what results he achieved, and what he paid in the process, that's all. Only in rare cases will he reveal a little bit of his own thoughts to the comic readers.
For example, the confession in the first half of chapter 18.
The author Jing Ya simply doesn't bother to depict those...
When looking at it from this perspective, the system really wants to point at his nose and scold him: You clearly know how to get more popularity!
But no.
Perhaps after the end of the 18th episode, the total popularity value will exceed 50 million. Perhaps after the end of the 24th episode, when the so-called big movie is actually released, the popularity of the manga "Occult" in another world can really be considered to be a hit...
But no matter when enough popularity points can be obtained, He Jingtong's initial expression of expecting to obtain 100 million points and traveling to the three-dimensional world is bound to be full of deep meaning.
No longer paying attention to these, the system returns to the state of a ruthless thesis recorder.
The multi-view function was turned on for a long time and was playing, and He Yuchen's eyes were wide open.
"Because I wanted to, you went?"
"Then what answer do you want?" The alien spirit He Jingtong gave a irrelevant answer.
The topic was supposed to continue, but was suddenly interrupted by a mysterious person.
"Before you two get the answers you want, I regret to inform you that Cheng Chuzhe has found our location."
"Who is that?" He Yuchen asked this question with a somewhat dissatisfied look on his face. He seemed determined not to stop until he got an answer, but when he actually asked the mysterious person, he suddenly showed a trembling expression.
The man in his thirties also smiled: "There are only 100,000 spiritualists in this country. You can't even remember some of the key roles. How can you think you can be the one to lead the new world?"
"As for Cheng Chuzhe... she is the manager of the Spiritual Master Prison, the warden, the woman who single-handedly established the Spiritual Master Prison and judges crimes based on cause and effect."
There was undisguised malice in the man's eyes as he looked at He Yuchen.
"Use your ossified brain and think about it. The video that was just released today had two days for many spiritualists to think about the issues raised in it before the general public thought about them."
"And since it's Cheng Chuzhe who's here, it actually means that, rather than killing the alien spirit He Jingtong, the spiritual master is more likely to keep him, or even imprison him."
"And if they are really here to kill them, then Xi Hongjing and the other two S-level spiritualists who came later would be more suitable. Of course, this does not rule out the possibility that they will appear as raiders."
The computer screen on the lab table lit up on its own, and a surveillance camera installed somewhere showed a team of spiritualists.
The leader was a woman with ear-length white hair. She wore a pair of golden glasses, including dark golden lenses, and the silver chain hanging on the glasses frame was stable and did not shake at all.
Standing behind her were the three S-class spiritualists and An Lai, who was forcibly suppressing his expression into one of indifference.
When the two people and the alien were all looking at the surveillance screen, Cheng Chuzhe's gaze passed over the camera and locked onto the "surveillance" that did not exist at all.
The laboratory collapsed and the sound of explosion was heard.
Apparently, the team of clerics that were looking for them didn't give them any chance to escape. !
