"Eternal Day" is the debut novel of horror cartoonist NEVER published 23 years ago.
On the cover of the first manga officially released, the protagonist is a boy with a high ponytail.
He bit his black hair tie and sat in front of the box mirror, combing his own hair.
His name is Nanzhou.
The only protagonist in the manga "Eternal Day".
In the setting, the story of "Eternal Day" takes place in the fictional Never Town.
In this closed and cozy town, the time of night is related to the ebb and flow of the moon's tides.
Every month, only on the fifteenth full moon day, the hours of night and day are half open.
With fifteen as the dividing line, the time of night shortens in turn.
The first day of the first month is the only day without night in January.
On that day, the snow-white sun will turn Nevertown into a city of sunlight where nothing can be seen.
It is not only darkness that can obscure people's eyes, but also light.
Therefore, the first day of every month becomes the rest day for the residents of NEVER Town.
No matter what day of the week it is, the residents of Nevertown will rest at home.
Office workers are suspended, students are suspended.
On the huge street shrouded in snow-white sunlight, few vehicles appeared.
Only the constant light from the traffic lights was scattered by the white sunlight into colorful light ripples with water ripples, swaying shallowly in the hot air.
The strange and abnormal moonlight gave birth to a monster called Light Charm in Never Town.
Light Charm is born out of an irreversible source of infection called Light Bacteria.
They have the same appearance as humans, are extremely aggressive, agile, and have the same intelligence as ordinary people.
In normal times, they firmly believe that they are ordinary people living in Never Town.
Only at the beginning of each month, on the "day of the extreme day", will the self-knowledge of Light and Charm be awakened.
In these 24 hours of white and chaotic light, they can choose whether to transform into their true forms, and then randomly hunt town residents to extend their lives.
As long as ordinary people are bitten and infected by light bacteria, another light charm will be born.
However, when the light bacteria enter the human body, the light bacteria will form their own variants due to different physiques, forming self-protecting mental strains, entrenched in the brain.
Therefore, one of the characteristics of Guangmei is spiritual fragility.
That is to say, once Guangmei treats Guangmei as an adult and bites another Guangmei, unless the strain is stronger than the other, it may be infected and die.
It's like drawing a lottery ticket.
It is possible to absorb the nutritional savings from the opponent's body, and luckily, there is no need to hunt for three months.
Maybe you won't have to hunt for a lifetime.
Of course, the charm of light is not completely unlimited.
At ordinary times, they never know that they are monsters, nor can they identify and perceive their own kind.
As light charmers, they are very strong in the nature of animals that like to occupy territory, and they hate the existence of any kind.
When they see the same kind, they will give priority to obliterating them.
Therefore, the living environment of Guangmei is not easy.
While they are afraid of being killed in ordinary time, they are afraid that their family members will know their identity after they transform into monsters and their memories are awakened. At the same time, they also have to beware of the selected, seemingly ordinary attack objects. In fact, they have long since become light Charm, he took a sip, but he died.
Horribly and alone, they coexist in Nevertown with human food they know nothing about.
Strange deaths occurred frequently in the town.
As in other horror comics plots, the small town cops don't care.
Just like the plots of other horror comics, no matter how frightened the people in the town are, none of them plan to relocate to save their lives.
If this comic is only like this, it can only be regarded as a common hunting comic that focuses on visual spectacles and integrates vampire elements.
Fortunately, there is Nanzhou.
-Nan Zhou is the only character in the comic who realizes that he is a comic character.
Lin Zhisong remembered a bridge very clearly.
When Nan Zhou was young, he once thought he belonged to this world.
The first time I found out that I was different was because my mother took him for an injection.
He was clearly well behaved and didn't cry.
Holding his mother's arm, he was afraid and worried that her mother would be sad, so he hid in her mother's arms, and said repeatedly in a soft voice: "Mom, I love you, I love you."
But his mother turned a blind eye to his obedience and understanding.
She blamed him for being squeamish, like a programmed robot.
She naturally thought that the child in her arms should be a crying, unwilling, and logical child.
Nan Zhou is a very smart boy.
He stretched out from there, gradually realizing that everything around him was not right.
In the whole town, he was the only one growing up.
My sister will always look like a five-year-old child.
Parents are always young.
The intelligence of a first-grade friend stays at eight forever.
In the courses taught by the teacher in Class 1 and Class 2, language, facial expressions, and small body movements are exactly the same.
Nan Zhou was originally a very lively child.
His taciturnity began in his dealings with his family, who found that they could only respond to him according to a specific formula.
Slowly, he discovered the existence of the dangerous creature Light Charm.
He panicked.
Because on the day that Guangmei started hunting, other people's day was skipped with two or three squares.
Even if killed, it only takes up a close-up.
And Nan Zhou had to hide in a dark place, grit his teeth, shiver, and survive the difficult 24 hours.
After trying to call the police and persuade his parents to move out to no avail, he took his young sister and rode the bicycle he learned to ride all the way to the edge of Nevertown, trying to escape the place.
However, his bike hit the edge of the comic grid.
The first manga ended here.
The young Nan Zhou stood in the field.
The wind picked up his mid-length hair and stroked his pale face.
He raised his hand and gently stroked the wall that didn't exist in the air.
From the reader's point of view, his beautiful face is facing the fourth wall, and his slender fingers are draped directly in front of him, like a gesture of oath.
From Nanzhou's perspective, he thought, to protect himself and his family.
Although the family's love for him is a premise and false, it is also his unique family in this small town.
…
After roughly talking about the general plot and background settings of the first part of "Eternal Day", Lin Zhisong just finished drinking a cup of herbal tea.
Although the mobile phone he brought in had no signal, it was like a waste product, but there were more than 20 cached comics and comics in each app.
These are the original works selected and adapted by Gravity.
"Eternal Day" comics, only the first one is included in the genuine app.
Looking at the beautiful young man with a face similar to Nan Zhou, who was cold and delicate, and the loneliness and determination in his eyes, Liang Shu had some indescribable heart palpitations.
Did he really live alone in that world for 23 years
"Bronze" everyone was speechless for a while.
He Yinchuan put down the mobile phone that Liang Shu handed over: "What about later?"
Lin Zhisong bit the straw and recalled, "Later..."
"He recorded and observed all the abnormal human situations in the town, and began to practice self-defense."
"He approached three pairs of the most aggressive and dangerous light charmers. When they were still normal people, they passed misinformation to each other, provoked infighting, and let them kill each other on one extreme day."
"He pretended to be the same kind of light charm and trapped a light charm."
"On the full moon night when Guangmei was weakest, he killed many Guangmei who had coveted his family and himself."
"Well, by the way, he also studied art."
"There is no local university, he went to Xinhua Bookstore to teach himself."
Lin Zhisong pointed to his head.
"He knew that he was a character in the book, so he used the principle of osmotic pressure. As long as he lay down on the book, words and images could flow directly from a high-concentration place to a low-concentration place, and could directly penetrate into his memory."
"He relies on this to read the entire bookstore."
At first, when reading this imaginative plot, Lin Zhisong was quite envious.
He Yinchuan bypassed all this: "Then... what's the ending?"
"A tragic story." Lin Zhisong briefly summed it up, "He fought hard until he was nineteen, and was bitten."
He added: "His sister did it."
"Bronze" everyone was dumbfounded.
Lin Zhisong scooped the ice cubes from the glass into his mouth, and shattered them with a click: "His sister has always been Guangmei. She is the source of the light bacteria in the town. For example..."
He glanced at Lu Bifang: "She is the queen of the Zerg."
"She is too young to know that she can transform."
"Her nature has never been attacked, just because a large number of 'Guangmei' downstream of her, as worker bees, have been delivering nourishment to her. She is not hungry."
He Yinchuan took over: "But her brother has been hunting Guangmei?"
"Yes." Lin Zhisong nodded, "...she's hungry."
If it's just for appreciation, in the comics, the scene where Nan Zhou showed an unbelievable look and was bitten by his five-year-old sister on the neck was very beautiful.
After all, the bacterial strain was transformed into his brain.
The shape of his strain resembles a white peacock made of light.
When the strains gradually bloomed in his brain, it was breathtakingly beautiful.
The day he was transformed was the day of the extreme day.
In the scorching day that almost melted people, Nan Zhou walked to the edge of the town step by step.
He came to the end of the town that he had been to countless times but had never been able to break through, and knelt down slowly.
At this point, his eternal day has come.
A word that symbolized hope, which became the curse of his eternal life.
He pointed at his neck with shards of broken glass.
But whether he cut it or not, no one knows.
The manga ends with such an open/endg.
Lu Bifang pursed his lips: "Then... he is really pitiful... "
Zhou Ao rarely asked a long sentence: "What about the copy? Is it the same story?"
"His previous stories have been told, and there is nothing more worth telling." Lin Zhisong said, "When the official setting of "Gravity" was set, in order to commemorate the 23rd year of Nanzhou's birth, he has completely transformed into a monster of light and charm. I started talking about it four years later.”
"Then... what's with the high death rate?"
Speaking of this, Lin Zhisong's brows furrowed completely.
"After the launch of Gravity, didn't it run smoothly for half a year? In the past six months, the private strategy group for various dungeons has never stopped, and a special strategy forum has been established."
"For the copy of "Eternal Day", a player first posted a clearance guide on the forum."
"He said that the boss Nanzhou is actually very easy to deceive."
"As long as you get close to him and be friends with him, you can kill him when he is weakest on a full moon night and help him 'free'."
"Later, in order to get all the achievements of the dungeon, all players went to level in this way."
"result… "
As a result, it is far from the case.
After the players followed the instructions and succeeded a few times, the death rate of "Eternal Day" suddenly increased without warning, and it jumped directly to the dungeon with the highest mortality rate among all dungeons after the server was launched.
It is said that Nan Zhou's attack method is very fierce, and when he comes up, he will directly twist his neck.
Players are often forced to eject the dungeon before they can even knock the blood bottle, and the capsule cabin in which they are sitting is beepingly lit up with "death red".
According to the recollection of the player who was tragically twisted by Nan Zhou, this boss was obviously super-brained, but the concentration of wisdom was too high.
Not only will they sneak up on them and dig traps for them, but they will also make instant responses based on their various words. Unlike other NPCs, they will have repeated conversations with them.
Some players find this thief interesting.
Some players feel that the official restoration degree is high, and Nanzhou is a smart character.
But some players shudder at this.
Some players were distressed because they couldn't get all the achievements, and complained to the game official, saying that "Nanzhou" was too strong, and asked for certain restrictions on him to reduce the difficulty.
Speaking of this, Lin Zhisong took a deep breath.
"I don't know how he escaped."
"However, what I do know is that he is a man who is not socialized well."
"Such an NPC who created the highest death rate record for the copy of "Universal Gravity" is wandering outside, I am worried that he will affect other players."
Lu Bifang was still reluctant to fully believe Lin Zhisong's judgment: "This is too mysterious..."
Lin Zhisong opened his mouth and asked, "What we are seeing now is not mysterious?"
Lu Bifang glanced at the little hen NPC who was busy receiving guests, and chose to keep silent.
Lin Zhisong continued, "I'm still worried about one thing."
He Yinchuan motioned for him to finish speaking in one breath.
Lin Zhisong said, "As you all have seen, Nan Zhou's intelligence, coupled with his military strength, is unsurprisingly very likely that he will win the championship."
Liang Shu roughly understood his worries: "What you worry about is..."
"Yes." Lin Zhisong said, "It's just a wish."
"I don't know what strange wish he's going to make. If he does win the title, what does he want to do? What will he do?"
"Does he hate the world outside of the comics? Does he hate the players who cheat and try to kill him? Will he spread the light fungus into the real world? It's all unknown. It's too uncontrollable."
He Yinchuan looked straight into his eyes: "So, what are your plans?"
Lin Zhisong said bluntly: "I want to use the World Channel to warn everyone, be careful of Nanzhou."
"Can not."
He Yinchuan used a tough tone for the first time and directly denied Lin Zhisong's proposal.
"Have you ever imagined the consequences? In this case, we couldn't be completely sure that he was really the Nanzhou. Now you have to tell everyone this uncertain information, and tell them that a highly dangerous NPC has fled. You will bring panic to everyone like this. Also, what if he is wronged? He is not this cartoon character at all, or he has no plans for that, how do you plan to end it?"
Lin Zhisong finally loosened up.
He asked, "Then, Captain, what do you think?"
He Yinchuan held his head and sighed slightly at the completely unexpected situation: "Let's find a way to contact people from other groups first."
