Already won!
Face the wind!
Flying dragon riding on the face to output!
For the first time in his career, Cao Dezhi smiled with such confidence. He felt that he had finally raised his manliness and had the domineering aura of a chief editor of the mystery department.
This is the true meaning of "stable".
And at this time.
The outside world still doesn’t know what Chu Kuang’s new book will look like.
The outcome of the literary battle between Chu Kuang and Leng Guang is causing controversy in the mystery community.
Then suddenly, all the controversy disappeared.
If you gather people from the Internet into a classroom, the effect would probably be that students are chatting enthusiastically during a study session.
Those who want to eat snacks eat snacks, and those who want to fall in love fall in love.
Suddenly, the teacher came.
Then the classroom became quiet.
The difference is that when people saw the publicity for Murder on the Orient Express, they had a moment of trance, rather than fear of the teacher.
They wondered if they had seen something wrong.
Carter: This is one of the top ten works in the Blue Planet mystery world.
It received 92.4 points from the Mystery Association, becoming the seventh-highest-rated work in the history of mystery.
Chu Kuang’s new work, Murder on the Orient Express, may be the perfect mystery novel.
The promotion can be summed up in these three sentences.
But for the reasoning world, it is like a depth bomb!
Boom!
The reasoning world is exploding!
From mystery writers to readers who love mystery, all of them were blown up by the torpedo!
"A work ranked in the top ten in the mystery world?!"
"I was originally thinking whether Carter had received money, but the subsequent promotional material told me that what Carter said seemed to be true. I feel a little confused now. Is Chu Kuang's new work so powerful?"
"The Reasoning Association scored 92.4 points!? I'm dumbfounded!"
"This score ranks seventh in the history of mystery. All mystery fans have witnessed history today. After all, it's not every year that a work can enter the top ten of the mystery ratings."
"The last time the Mystery Association gave a novel a score above 90 was five years ago..."
"If I remember correctly, the rating of The Apartment didn't break 80."
"Literary fight? What a fight."
"Leng Guang: Young people have no moral principles. They are using a work that was rated over 90 by the Mystery Association to attack me!"
"This is a one-sided massacre..."
"Oh my god, what on earth did Chu Kuang write that caused Teacher Carter and the Reasoning Association to fall?"
"It's outrageous! We've been looking forward to this literary duel for ten thousand years, but Chu Kuang hasn't even made a formal move yet, and Teacher Guang feels like he's done for!"
"The first mover will lose. The ancients were right!"
"… "
Although the waves that exploded would fall back to the surface of the water, the shocking ripples would take a long time to dissipate, just like ripples that expanded in circles, and eventually affected everyone in the reasoning world. That was the collective expectation that rose in the reasoning world—
Looking forward to Chu Kuang’s new work!
You know, the Reasoning Association is still very fair. So far, there has been almost no case where the Reasoning Association's scores are far from fair.
What's more, there is Carter and the Reasoning Association to confirm each other!
If "Murder on the Orient Express" is a work that can be recorded in the history of reasoning, then Carter is a figure who can be ranked in the top ten in the history of reasoning!
Even for the sake of his own reputation, he would never give Chu Kuang such false advertising.
Therefore, an inevitable fact is that Chu Kuang’s new mystery work may really be a classic!
…
If the publicity of the Silver Blue Library is to fry fish, then everyone in the mystery world is a fish at this moment? Including Leng Guang, the victim of the literary fight.
The word "victim" is the title that everyone has just given to Leng Guang.
He took the initiative to challenge Chu Kuang to a literary duel about reasoning, but the other person's work received certification and publicity from the industry's top cast before it was even released? And right from the start, it was evaluated as "going down in the history of reasoning"? What do you think Leng Guang will think
Just lose
I haven't even read his book, and you tell me? I've already lost
Chu Kuang hasn't even made his move yet? I've already fallen down
Leng Guang wanted to say:
I don't accept it!
But looking back at the rating given by the Mystery Association to "Murder on the Orient Express" and the evaluation given by Carter? Leng Guang helplessly discovered that he had really lost miserably.
This is no longer a question of young people lacking martial ethics.
This directly means that the "literary battle" has become just empty talk.
Is there a duel between ants and elephants
The answer is no.
The Reasoning Association's scoring and Carter's evaluation had already announced the results in advance, and Leng Guang felt a little aggrieved.
It's impossible not to feel aggrieved.
But at the same time, Leng Guang was really curious.
Is this a curiosity that belongs to a reasoning person? At least this curiosity is free of any impurities.
What kind of work was that, he wondered
Or in other words, how did I lose
It would be really unfair if you don’t even know this.
Fortunately, this is not a virtual duel between Leng Guang and Chu Kuang. Although this literary battle has already had a result in disguise, it still has to be implemented in specific words.
Carrying the expectations of countless people? "Murder on the Orient Express" has been released!
later.
Some people call this day the "first year of Chu Kuang" in the mystery world.
On this day.
Leng Guang woke up late and went to three nearby bookstores but failed to buy "Murder on the Orient Express".
Many bookstores were sold out on the same day.
When he finally got home, Leng Guang found that he had received a express delivery specially sent by the Silver Blue Library.
Wrapped inside was a copy of Murder on the Orient Express.
Without making any malicious guesses about the Silver and Blue Library's intentions, Leng Guang immediately returned to the study and opened "Murder on the Orient Express".
The title page contains Carter's preface to the novel:
"I forgot when I first read a mystery novel, but I remember how excited and shocked I was when I first read one. Many years later, I became a well-known mystery writer, but I found it difficult to find a mystery novel that could impress me. I thought my reasoning heart was gradually numb, but when I opened Murder on the Orient Express, I knew it was not because my heart was numb, but because there had been no new classic masterpieces in the mystery world for too long, so that our senses had not been stimulated in a new way for too long. I don't want you to waste too much time on a preface, because excitement cannot be waited for. I hope you enjoy this Orient Express."
A very short preface.
They are all compliments.
This is very common in other novels, but because it was written by Carter, it has a different meaning. Anyway, based on Leng Guang's understanding of Carter, this is the first time he has seen Carter praise his colleagues like this.
"Let's get started."
On a quiet afternoon, Leng Guang opened a book called "Murder on the Orient Express".
After reading the last word, he carefully closed the novel and put it on the bookshelf where he could get to it most easily.
"When I was little, I was not good at my studies and didn't like to do my homework. The next day I would make excuses saying that I forgot to do it. The teacher would always scold me and ask, 'Why didn't you forget to eat?'"
"Now I want to say something to the teacher. I really forgot to eat that day."
This is what Leng Guang said in an interview later.
The interview took place in this study, and in the bookcase in the background was a copy of "Murder on the Orient Express".
Later, this interview inexplicably became popular, which directly led to the literary battle on Blue Star. There is a famous and decent admit defeat joke called:
"I forgot to eat today."
People who lose a literary duel like to say this, expressing their admiration and submission to their opponent in a tactful way while retaining some dignity for themselves.
Netizens translated it as: "I give up."

ps: I somehow imagined Leng Guang’s image to be Lao Luo.
