One stone set off a thousand waves.
During this period of time, the popularity of "Yuanxia" was extremely high. After the photos of the two contracts were posted on the Internet, they immediately attracted the attention of countless people.
The contract on the photo only has the last signed page, and the two signatures are obviously the same person in terms of content and handwriting.
The plagiarism of "Yunshang" was already a solid hammer. When "Yunshang" and "Yuanxia?" were identified as the same person, this charge was naturally covered? "Yuanxia?" body.
As the person who started the fire, Zhang Chen registered on his own author account, because he was the victim of the plagiarism incident at the beginning, after this incident broke out, of course many people came to his Weibo message.
So, Zhang Chen pretended to publish it? "Oh, I didn't expect Yuanxia? It was me on the cloud? It was really shocking? But the plagiarism incident has passed? As long as he knows his mistake, he can correct it?" remarks.
While a group of melon-eating netizens praised him for his generosity, the criticism of "Yuanxia" on the Internet became even louder.
Human nature? It's inherently complicated. When the scenery is boundless, everyone will pursue it; when the reputation is ruined, there will never be fewer people who fall into the well and turn stones. Before "Yuanxia" got such a big limelight, it's not that no one secretly envied them. Now, they can finally stand uprightly, freely express their opinions and criticize them. The reason is still so? It is aboveboard, and the justice is awe-inspiring.
Relying on his hacker skills, Zhang Chen opened up a lot of vest trumpets, fished in troubled waters under these topics, stirred up wind and rain, and stirred up public opinion. Looking at the scolded "Yuanxia?" I can't tell you how happy it is.
The sound of typing on the keyboard resounded in the room. Finally, Zhang Chen, who was angry in his heart, was elated, and set off many times of scolding on the Internet by himself.
［… For such an author with a history of plagiarism, who knows if his current essay is written by himself? A group of idiots were cheated by him? He even helped him count the money! ]
First, he was filled with righteous indignation and scolded those readers who swear by the character of "Yuanxia?", and then Zhang Chen skillfully switched his vest, and published a speech full of worries in a reasonable tone.
［…I? Usually? I don’t like to read novels. I’m just an outsider. I don’t really care. I don’t plagiarize. But just from this incident, it can be seen that Yuan Xia's character is not good, right? This kind of person with plagiarism and character problems, if he is just an ordinary web writer, it doesn't matter to me? But this kind of person is actually an investigator. I've read the official science popularization seriously. The investigator's job is to protect everyone and prevent abnormal events from harming ordinary people. So it's almost like the police of the extraordinary world, right? Given his character, can us ordinary people really place our safety on him? I hope the Special Affairs Bureau can seriously consider it?…]
As soon as this statement came out, it really aroused a lot of resonance.
[The landlord is right? I don't worry about entrusting my safety to such a person. ]
[that is! Why do people like this have a chance? It's not fair to be an investigator! Does the Special Affairs Bureau not handle it? ]
Zhang Chen picked out a few vests again, mixed among a group of netizens, all kinds of rhythm, and it really quickly aroused more and more people's dissatisfaction, complaints, and jealousy.
Immediately, he got more energetic, and the smile on the corner of his mouth grew wider and wider.
clack clack clack clack...
The codeword machine skills redeemed before have played a role, and it is unambiguous to open ten vests in one breath and switch back and forth. If he is tired of coding at home in normal times, then he is working harder now!
... Okay? Hey, you've reached the pinnacle of your life!
"Are you very happy? Very proud??"
A voice suddenly sounded faintly behind him.
"Of course..." Zhang Chen subconsciously took over the conversation and only said two words. Suddenly, he had a shocking reaction and was about to turn his head, "Who? How did you break into my house?"
Before he could turn around—
"Snapped!"
The lights in the room suddenly went out, and the brightly lit computer screen dimmed at the same time.
The sunlight outside the window seemed to be separated by a curtain. It was clearly daytime, but the entire room could not be seen, and the dark and deep night suddenly fell.
Zhang Chen froze on the chair.
... Good? Familiar scene, good? Familiar feeling.
A cold breath brushed against his neck.
…even this creepy breath? Deja vu QAQ.
Zhang Chen suddenly remembered the nightmarish morning, and the endless cycle of nightmares that he would never forget.
He just felt that the blood all over his body was suddenly frozen, and his limbs could not lift a little bit of strength, so he just sat upright on the chair, opened his mouth, and even his voice trembled: "You, you... you Who is it? Don't, don't, stop kidding?!"
While procrastinating for time, he frantically called out to the Wenhao system in his heart: "System, come out! I? Want to exchange skills!! System! System, are you dead?!"
No matter how much I shouted, I didn't get a response. The Wenhao system was really as quiet as if it was dead.
Now? Zhang Chen completely panicked. The Wenhao system is his only confidence, is it gone? This confidence, the little bit of courage he seldom summoned, disappeared.
"Hahahaha… "
"I? Who, don't you know?"
In the laughter that seemed far away, that cool breath blew on his ears again.
At the same time, a cold hand rested on Zhang Chen's shoulder, and the skinless bones were breathing coldly.
Zhang Chen suddenly froze as if he had been hit by a hold spell. He turned his eyes and looked over his left shoulder.
Just at this moment, his shoulders sank, and a head poked out from behind, leaning intimately on his shoulders, and the blood-stained seaweed-like hair wrapped around his waist little by little. On the neck, the pitch-black eyeballs with no whites rolled quickly in the cracked eye sockets, and they must have collided with Zhang Chen's gaze!
Zhang Chen:! ! !
It was clearly a dark night without light, yet he could see every detail so clearly.
It's hard to describe the horror of that moment. In game terms, his San value almost dropped.
"Hahahaha… "
Where the evil ghost's mouth is located, a hole is getting longer and bigger, and it is getting bigger and bigger. Under Zhang Chen's horrified eyes, the opened hole is suddenly aimed at him, and Zhang Chen's whole head is squeezed Swallow it? Next? Go!
"ah-"
Zhang Chen woke up in a burst of severe pain, but when he opened his eyes, what appeared in front of him was still endless darkness, and faint ghost sounds sounded.
Eerie flames burned from the soles of his feet.
"Hahahaha… "
"You really don't recognize me?"
…
After experiencing? Being bitten off his head, being burned to death by will-o'-the-wisps, being frightened to death...and other strange ways of dying, Zhang Chen almost collapsed completely.
He was clearly aware that he had somehow fallen into that endless cycle of nightmares again.
Waking up from darkness again.
Hearing the familiar and eerie ghost voice, and sensing the chilly aura that was close at hand, Zhang Chen tried his best to calm down, endured the creepy sense of terror, and quickly thought about countermeasures in his mind.
He still remembered that the Wenhao system had said that this was probably some kind of weirdness he accidentally provoked—and weirdness can be solved by finding the rules.
How weird is this infinite nightmare cycle? Persevering in asking the same question, maybe this question is the key to breaking the weird rules and escaping from the nightmare cycle.
Even if he really can't break the weird rules, if he delays the cycle for a while and slows down the cycle of nightmares, he will suffer less. When the lost Wenhao system reconnects, he will have a turning point!
Thinking of this, Zhang Chen shouted loudly in a trembling voice, "Who are you? Should I know you?"
Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, the cold and cold atmosphere around him became more intense. Countless strands of seaweed-like hair spread out from the darkness and intertwined around him from all directions. He vaguely saw the floating ghosting.
Voices came from all directions, ethereal, gloomy, cold, ruthless, twisted and weird.
"Hee hee hee hee... how could you? Don't recognize me??"
"... You... specially... wrote my story... into a book."
Before the word "what" fell, a terrifying face was quickly pasted up, almost touching the tip of Zhang Chen's nose, and the stinky blood gushing out of the empty eye sockets wiped his cheeks And fall!
"ah!"
This shock was no small matter, Zhang Chen subconsciously fell back, but the face was getting closer and closer, and there was only a piece of paper between the empty eye sockets and his eyes.
Perhaps in an extreme crisis, one's greatest potential can always be stimulated. At this moment, Zhang Chen's mind is running at an unprecedented speed. He finally dug out the corresponding details from countless cumbersome memories.
... "Sly Song"! It's "Sly Song"! The female ghost in the fifth chapter of "Sly Song"!
However, isn't this all fiction? !
He always thought that it was some kind of weirdness that turned the fictional plots in the novel into a copy of the nightmare of reality. He never thought that the plots of these novels actually had prototypes in reality, and they all came from real stories!
All of a sudden, Zhang Chen's brain remembered the incident like an electric shock - when he was slandered and plagiarized, "Yunshang" once posted his own material on the Internet, which mentioned his novel inspiration It comes from folklore, and many folklore are based on tragedies that actually happened in reality.
—Damn it! ! !
Just when Zhang Chen blamed his anger on the head of "Yunshang", he suddenly felt a pain like suffocation. In the vast darkness, countless strands of seaweed-like hair entangled him. Being dragged into the deep seabed, breathing becomes thinner and thinner.
"My? story... allow you to write?!!!"
The ethereal and gloomy ghost voice rang in my ears, and finally brought it? It was so sharp and piercing that it made people's soul tremble fiercely!
Zhang Chen's breathing became more and more difficult. In the pain of suffocation, he finally couldn't help shouting:
"No! Not me?!!!"
The hair wrapped around seems to be loose? Some, Zhang Chen gasped: "It's really not me?!!!"
A cold palm touched? His face was caressed bit by bit: "Hee hee hee hee... Me? I don't believe it..."
Zhang Chen was terrified, his whole body was trembling with goosebumps, he couldn't care less about it anymore, the fear of evil ghosts and resentment towards "Yunshang" made him blurt out: "It's really not me?! If you want to find you, go to Yunshang!! These are all written by him, and it's none of my business!!!"
"what about me?"
Another ethereal female voice sounded, ghostly, and a terrifying face floated over from his other shoulder.
"And I?… "
"I?… "
One after another, ghost figures floated out of the darkness, approaching him from all directions, and the weird and gloomy voice formed multiple echoes.
Because of the distinctive features of these evil spirits, did Zhang Chen recognize them? This is very similar to some characters in other horror novels he plagiarized. It seems that the novels of "On the Cloud" have real-life materials prototype
At this moment, he hated "Yunshang" to death, but that hatred was overwhelmed by the great fear.
Surrounded by countless evil spirits, Zhang Chen only felt that he would be eaten by the ghosts in the next moment, his teeth chattered up and down: "No, this, this has nothing to do with me..."
"Yes? It has nothing to do with me." He emphasized, "These novels are all written on Yunshang. He disrespected you and adapted your stories into novels. Yes, it is him! You want Find him and find him!"
The evil spirit in the dark uttered?? Gently humming.
As if laughing at him, thinking that we? We evil spirits are so good? Lie? Evil ghosts also keep pace with the times, right
"Hahahaha… "
"Relying on these books? You made money? A lot?"
The group of ghosts laughed ferociously, and suddenly changed their faces.
"... Is our flesh and blood good to eat???"
"ah!"
There was a scream in the darkness.
"These books? Are they really not written by me? Go find Yunshang! It's him, it's really him!!!"
"Hee hee hee... You're lying to a ghost."
"One is a great god who has written? seven books?, and the other is an ordinary author who has been plagiarized with a seal... Hee hee hee..."
"No no no no, don't come over—"
"—I? Tell you the truth!"
"These novels are really written on the cloud, I? I'm the plagiarist! I? I'm reborn from the future—"
Zhang Chen's hysterical voice rang out among the crowd of ghost voices.
What he doesn't know is that at this moment, the system 999, which is silently monitoring here, has linked all the images to the Internet.
At this moment, the identity of "Yuanxia" was suddenly exposed, and the popularity on the entire network was undoubtedly extremely high. When the other party suddenly opened the live broadcast room and expressed that they wanted to clarify everything, countless melon-eating netizens poured in. Is it? In the live broadcast room.
In the dimly lit screen, everyone only heard a deafening sound.
"... I am the plagiarist!"
I don’t know how many netizens’ melons are scared off
