Zhang Chen seemed to wake up from a long dream.
When he was not going to go deep into the memory of his subconscious layer by layer, as the master, he was also forced to walk through the memory in a state of confusion.
The essence of his soul is just an ordinary person, he didn't see that scene about the truth of the world, until the moment before he woke up, all his impressions still stayed on the bloody road, and the last scene in his memory was frozen On the self who was powerless to die.
"No, today's novel hasn't been updated yet, I haven't become a great god yet..." The strong voice at the time of his death was still echoing in his mind, and he recalled many memories that had long been forgotten by Zhang Chen. Turned it out—that was the scene where he was unwilling to give up even if he was on the street for many years, and insisted on coding day after day; he was working hard on his writing skills alone; he was still revising the novel repeatedly in front of the computer late at night... screen.
In the empty room, Zhang Chen, who was sitting slumped on the ground, was shocked suddenly, his dazed eyes completely regained focus: "What have I done since I was reborn..."
"I wasn't like this in the past... I persisted for so many years? Didn't I just hope to become a great god with my own efforts and let others know that the so-called talent is not absolute-what am I doing now?!"
Zhang Chen punched the ground heavily.
At this moment, he finally came to his senses.
It was the protagonist-like treatment of "rebirth" that blinded his eyes. From the first time he chose to plagiarize, he was distorted by the praise of the outside world, and he had completely forgotten that the so-called genius writer was just wrapped in him. In the outer shell, the real him is still the street-crazy author in his previous life, even the only advantage he once had was lost.
And the things he stole were never his own. When the truth was revealed, he would not even be able to go back to being the street-crawler in his previous life.
Recovering the state of mind of the street-crazy author in his previous life, no matter how hard he tried, Zhang Chen suddenly realized how much he had done. Not only was his work stolen by him, but he also beat him up? A raft of slander and plagiarism What kind of damage has been done to the "Yunshang"!
"I'm sorry..." Zhang Chen raised his head, wanting to apologize to the other party, but only saw a closed door.
He opened his mouth wide, looking stunned.
The moment the door closed, through the narrowed gap, he vaguely saw a figure walking further and further away.

"...The changes in his two lifetimes are due to the contamination of his soul?"
After going out, Yuan Buwei was still thinking about the picture he just saw from Zhang Chen's memory, and thoughts flashed one after another.
"No, his soul is not distorted, it should just be bewitched by the Wenhao system."
… Just as it is also the influence that produces evil thoughts, some people are at most just playing a prank, while some people want to kill and set fire. In the final analysis, it is themselves.
If Zhang Chen didn't have those dark thoughts in his heart, how could the so-called Wenhao system confuse him
The thought about Zhang Chen was just a flash of thought, and Yuan Buwei left it behind. After all, he is not the original Yun An. It is his choice whether to continue revenge or forgive.
At this time, the original reason is not to pay more attention to another matter.
Knowing that the "Wenhao System" was actually born from Zhang Chen's distorted obsession, and that it possesses the weirdness of intelligence, many of Yuan Buwei's previous guesses have been verified.
Perhaps it is precisely because Zhang Chen's obsession before his death was to become a great god, so this "only born in" obsession? The weirdness is so special, and the ability it possesses is only related to the novel, so it worked hard to encourage Zhang Chen Plagiarizing novels to earn prestige, and secretly? Withholding most of the...
In the end of the plot of fate spied on by System 999, human beings perish and weirdness is rampant. Zhang Chen abandons the human body and chooses to entrust his consciousness in the Wenhao system. Will this seemingly surviving ending be what the Wenhao system expects to see? , or even single-handedly pushed it
Sealed items and weirdness are just classifications of human beings. The Bureau of Special Affairs refers to special things that humans can contain and control as sealed items, and vice versa is weird.
But this kind of classification is meaningless to them, just like domestic cats and wild cats, they are still of the same kind in essence. Isn't the Wenhao system, which seems harmless and easy to control now, also classified as a usable sealed item by the Bureau of Special Affairs? In fact, it is just a stray cat pretending to be good.
Thinking about it further, among all the anomalous events that were not participated in before and were only heard of, some of them are particularly special.
Be it the "Seven Deadly Sins", or the "Flame of Hatred", or even the source of the anomaly discovered in Amazawa City not long ago, a heart called "Heart of Regret", which can affect the resonance of human hearts through heartbeats, and what happened abroad Other similar anomalous events—it seems that they all more or less involve human emotions.
It is unavoidable to wonder whether these weirdnesses that are just a symbol of the rules will transform after collecting enough human emotions and desires, and become like the Wenhao system, giving birth to their own wisdom.
Then in the original plot of fate, there is another interpretation of the extinction of human beings and the weird trend. When the rules of the world are distorted and polluted, the human race is eliminated because it cannot adapt. It is perfect. The weird ones who adapted to the environment gave birth to intelligence, and took over the position of human beings in this world as a new race.
Just as the ancient overlord on this planet was eliminated in the evolution of the environment, and human beings rose.
After going through such guesses in his mind, Yuan Buwei walked out of the area where Zhang Chen was imprisoned, returned to the core area of the Special Affairs Bureau, and saw Director Chu at a glance.
"How is it? Did you find anything?" Director Chu seemed a little anxious, and asked as soon as they met, "What negative impact does the Wenhao system have? If the impact is not large, or other sealed items can be used to weaken the impact and offset it In terms of price, this?will?be a special sealed item of strategic level."
"..." Yuan Buwei fell into a brief silence.
... This? How should I say it? Do you want to say that those things that you regard as sealed items are likely to be unreliable, and that the weird future that you think is just the incarnation of rules is likely to give birth to wisdom, especially the Wenhao system that you have pinned your hopes on. To possibly incarnate the mind of a new weird race and become the greatest enemy of mankind? ?
It wasn't because there was no answer, but instead he turned his gaze and asked, "Did something happen again?"
If there hadn't been a major incident, with Director Chu's own city and energy cultivation skills, he wouldn't have lost his composure.
It must be that the external situation has changed. The Wenhao system, a "sealed item" that can feed back power to readers and enhance the self-protection power of most ordinary people, can change the situation, so that Director Chu is so concerned about it. High hopes were placed.
Director Chu was taken aback for a moment, and said as if by default: "You have discovered this? You are really sharp."
Saying this, he motioned for Yuan Buwei to enter a room similar to a conference room, and by the way, he also summoned many senior officials of the Special Affairs Bureau, including Bai Ze.
"It's too complicated to say, you can see for yourself."
On the big screen on the opposite wall, an encrypted file that had just been sent to the Secret Service Bureau was suddenly projected.
"... This? It's from the Sanctions Office and the Parliament."
The so-called Sanctions Office and the Parliament are the official investigation agencies of the Stewart Empire and the Alan Alliance respectively, and their responsibilities are similar to those of Tianxia's Secret Affairs Bureau.
After watching the projection on the screen, everyone in the audience almost took a breath: "Thirty million people died in three days, and there were more than 400 abnormal incidents, large and small...their side... the weirdness has ravaged to this point? Has it reached the point?"
Director Bai Zexu's deputy stood up and explained: "It was okay before, the frequency of abnormal events was relatively low, and the Sanctions Office and the Parliament could barely maintain order. But during this period of time, weirdness broke out frequently. The previous Tulip incident and the The strange rain incident has just been resolved, and several major changes have occurred one after another... "
"Especially the Stuart Empire, because of an unknown mutation that has been erased from everyone's memories and concepts, eight million people evaporated at once, and the order of the entire country has completely collapsed."
The atmosphere in the conference room was tense.
The death of so many people is almost equivalent to a war, and it is definitely not something that the high-level officials can force to suppress if they want to hide it. I am afraid that it will not take long before the news will spread all over the world. Panic in Tianxia's country is also inevitable.
Yuan Buwei finally understood why Director Chu was in a hurry to verify the negative costs of the Wenhao system—because he had already anticipated the evolution of the situation in the future and had to prepare in advance.
When the atmosphere in the Bureau of Special Affairs was tense, ordinary people in Tianxia were still unaware of major events happening abroad. Now the hottest news on the entire Internet is derived from the previous post about suddenly gaining superpowers.
Originally, everyone was talking about it, and they all speculated that the sudden superpower was related to the novel "Investigator's Daily" and the mysterious "Yuanxia".
When the crisis in Tianze City was lifted two days ago, a group of people led by Zhang Yue shared their experiences online, and vowed that the power that befell them at the critical moment came from "Yuanxia", and netizens became even more concerned. Is that right? Believe it or not.
As a result, "Yuanxia", which had just fallen from the hot search for a few days, was listed on the headlines again while it was hot, and the book review section of "Investigator's Daily" fell again.
[My heart is itchy, I really want to know what happened, did Yuanxia really save everyone? It's incredible that so many people can be given power out of thin air! ]
[Ahh, I am so envious that I roll all over the floor. I really want to summon a Ji Bai in reality, I want to go crazy rua A Ji! Qiuqiu, please give me this chance. ]
[Can ordinary people really acquire the skills in the novel? Even if it's only temporary, it's amazing. I hope Yuan Xia will come forward and reveal a little bit. ]
At the beginning, the atmosphere on the Internet and in the book review area was quite harmonious. There were either people eating melons who were curious while eating lemons, or those who were grateful to the "Yuanxia" party, or the onlookers who were filled with inconceivable emotions... After all, most of the readers caught in abnormal events escaped successfully, and some of them even managed to help other ordinary people without too many casualties.
However, it didn't take long for the news from the Stewart Empire and the Alan Alliance to shake everyone.
Those cold text descriptions, tragic scene photos, and all kinds of statements made by the relatives of the victims and survivors to vent their emotions made Tianxia people, who originally only wanted to eat melons, fall into panic
[Okay, it's miserable, this? It's really miserable. I can't imagine if the same thing happened to our Tianxia, to someone I know, or even to myself... What kind of tragic consequences would it be? It is unacceptable to think about it. This? Is it weird and scary? ]
[Ah, this... What happened to this world? ]
[Even though the Bureau of Special Affairs has been promoting it, I actually don't have that deep a concept of weirdness. Because I haven't experienced any abnormal events myself, our Tianxia is relatively peaceful. Several incidents happened before and were quickly resolved. I really always thought it was nothing. This? Just like natural disasters such as earthquakes and floods, it is only a temporary difficulty. As long as we work together, we can always overcome it. But now, I don't think so. Can we humans really persevere in the face of this strange existence that is completely beyond imagination? ]
[I feel ridiculous for my shallowness. I always thought that investigators were like superpowers in novels, powerful, extraordinary, and mysterious, but now I know that what they are fighting against is actually such an existence. Eight million people can be evaporated overnight, and in order to prevent the same mistakes from happening again, the unknown weirdness that will be directly erased by the court... What kind of despair should the investigators who are fighting against this kind of monster be? ]
[Look, both the Stewart Empire and the Alan Alliance have been hit hard, and it will be our turn next. The strength of the three major countries is quite equal, and the first two are so miserable, can Tianxia be spared? I think this? The world is probably going to be destroyed, so why not just do everything you want before the end comes. ]
[No, I don't want to die! I studied hard, worked hard, paid off my mortgage, and never enjoyed anything. Is this going to die? What investigators, what special affairs bureau, they are all trash! ! ]
Netizens' reactions were extremely intense, but no matter what kind, the mood tended to be pessimistic. As time went by, more and more detailed information about the other two countries came out, and this pessimistic sentiment became more and more serious.
There is a deep sense of despair pervading the entire Internet, and there are still many people who are breaking their cans and making troubles, and the number of crimes across the country has skyrocketed.
It looks like a harbinger of doomsday crisis.
I don't know who suddenly mentioned the hot topic on the Internet a few days ago:
[Didn't it mean that Yuan Xia could give readers power out of thin air, manifest the skills in the novel into reality, and even summon the protagonist of the novel? If all of us become his readers, can all of us temporarily gain superpowers to protect ourselves in abnormal events? ]
As soon as the words came out, many people immediately responded as if they had grasped at straws.
[… That makes sense. You are such a clever little ghost! So we don't have to worry so much? ]
[I think it is feasible. Where is Yuan Xia Da Da? Summon Yuan Xia to save the world! ]
There was also a rebuttal:
[Heh, your thinking is too simple, who knows whether Yuanxia's ability has a scope and time limit? Even if he can protect the whole country at the same time, who knows what price he will pay? Will he really want to? You see this? Has he responded online once in so many days? ]
[I think so too, it is simply not reliable to count on Yuanxia. Book fans will always be blindly confident in your greatness. ]
[No, I'm not a fan of books, but I believe in Yuanxia. Because of his status as an investigator, and because he has solved abnormal incidents and saved people several times, I believe he will not let us down this time. ]
"It really is like this..."
In the Bureau of Special Affairs, Director Chu and others learned about Tianxia's current situation from all aspects, especially the public opinion on the Internet, and couldn't help but sigh as expected.
"The things in the Stewart Empire are too tragic, and the sense of crisis brought by the weirdness to everyone is too serious. Even if we use official power to control the review and hide it for a while, we will only suffer greater public opinion backlash in the future. It caused more people to panic."
"The best way to calm people's hearts and restore order is to let everyone know that the Special Affairs Bureau has the power to protect everyone..." Saying this, Director Chu turned his gaze to Yuan Buwei, "For example, a The person who has exposed his ability on a large scale, so that most people are willing to believe that he can save everyone, will stand up as a banner."
"What do you mean?... artificially create a savior??"
Yuan Buwei asked the question calmly, as if he was not talking about himself.
Director Chu and the others all nodded, and everyone's eyes were focused on Yuan Buwei, full of anticipation.
... This? It's a win-win thing. It can not only appease people's hearts, but also condense the prestige of the original inaction. They don't think the other party will choose to refuse.
But Yuan didn't think for a moment, and unexpectedly said:
"This request... forgive me for declining."
