Wei Qianrong didn't continue, otherwise it would be a waste of words. She directly sent the information in WeChat to the small group—the group of her, Luo Mingjie, and Jiang Xiaoli. "That's the only thing that's complicated. It's been a long time since this incident broke out, but there has been no disturbance. The State Administration of Foreigners has checked for a long time. According to the titles of the books mentioned by netizens, I found that they all have very similar things. And the similar one is the best and most famous book in this routine. But they checked the author, and the author is an ordinary person who got rich by writing articles, and his net worth has risen with both fame and fortune. He also joined the Writers Association , there is no sorrow at all. So they speculated that it might be because the characters in the book liked too many people and had a soul—but this is not right. There are so many popular books, how come this one has a soul? "
Jiang Xiaoli downloaded the information and it looks like... eh? A bit much. They all sat down around the sofa. Before reading the information, Luo Mingjie sent a message to his mother, saying that he would not go back to work overtime today, and told her not to leave the light on. Then look seriously.
…
"So, this popular book was plagiarized?" Jiang Xiaoli never expected to come to such a conclusion, the one that changed the movie and TV series to sell well was actually plagiarized? The person who was plagiarized had already finished the book, and the grades of the book were tepid. The plagiarist extracted the essence of his book, copied the hero and heroine, the outline of the story, the logic chain, etc., and then polished it with his own language, adding Some of the best stalks in the others, a book of gods! It's been a long time since this book was written. At that time, there was not enough awareness of copyright protection. The original author wanted to sue for plagiarism, but he didn't have the energy and money. As a result, when there was a storm, he was besieged and insulted by the plagiarist's fans, and some people even revealed his home address and sent him wreaths and other unlucky things. He moved in panic and fear, and quit his job because of the fans' crazy harassment, but the plagiarist enjoyed everything, and even made a show of contacting him to offer him a compensation of 100,000 yuan as an apology.
The plagiarized writer did not agree, he angrily insulted the plagiarized guy, and then suffered more serious online violence, and his real life was extremely rough. Everything about him was picked up and put under a microscope for people to laugh at. The work was obviously his child, and the male and female protagonists were also his painstaking efforts, but they were also insulted by netizens. "I really can't believe that my XX's original form is actually this XX, it's not compelling at all."
Ultimately, the writer committed suicide.
It caused quite a stir at the time, but over time most netizens have forgotten these things. As a result, the plagiarists gain both fame and fortune, and the plagiarized bones are already cold.
The copy under the plagiarist's name was regarded as a masterpiece, because of his popularity, many people followed suit and wrote this type of work. Even readers' aesthetic taste tends to be that person. The more popular, the more you write, the more you follow... Such a cycle, even if the tastes of readers have changed now, there is still a place for works that were once regarded as "magic works" in their hearts.
"The spirit appeared. It came from the unwillingness of the original book." Wei Qianrong sighed, looked at the information and speculation written in the document, and said, "They...or 'it' seem harmless. I just want everyone to know the truth Whose child is 'it'." Attracting people's attention over and over again...
Because of Yan, more people like them, and this liking brings more power to the "spirit".
The appearance of this "spirit" is completely coincidental. Because the results of the original work were tepid, and the plagiarized works became popular, so the original work is not worthy of being the original work? Obviously their real father is the dead author, but everyone thinks they came from a plagiarist? It's ridiculous and ironic. This is just an obsession, and this obsession is just an opportunity. Originally, it was impossible to give birth to a spirit so easily.
The original book also has a little book fans, and those book fans contributed a share of love and love. The plagiarist directly copied the character design, so when so many of his readers liked his two protagonists, this love was transferred to the two protagonists in the original book, because they were the source. And then, because of the popularity of this theme and setting, more and more people followed suit and wrote, and countless favorite blessings accumulated year after year, and this book spirit... was born.
"They don't have any offensive power or intention to hurt people...for now?" Jiang Xiaoli looked at Wei Qianrong.
"In the Internet age, they are too good-looking. More and more young people like them and strengthen their power."
"... That's it. In other words, I didn't hurt anyone, or maybe I didn't do anything because I didn't have enough strength." Jiang Xiaoli looked at this information, and couldn't help but sigh. They all say karma, but sometimes the retribution comes too late, and the late retribution has lost its due value. "Spirits are born... there is another reason, maybe the environment? It's the same as ghosts are more likely to appear."
"Yeah." Wei Qianrong nodded, "My uncle told me to watch less videos on the Internet, and to visit less scenic spots recently. He said that the world is not peaceful."
And this is not peaceful, not because of wars and chaos, nor because of natural disasters such as earthquakes and floods... In other words, this is a new kind of natural disaster. A natural disaster known as a "spiritual event".
This natural disaster will be turbulent and urgent. At that time, for ordinary people... it is simply a big lie of the century, or an explosive and contagious neurosis. Some people will believe it, some people will not believe it, and those who survive in the end have to believe it.
"Well, how will the country deal with it?" Jiang Xiaoli asked, these are book spirits, hard to capture and destroy, they can even have no body... Wait, what if the original works are deleted? Delete all traces of the original work!
... But that would be too unfair to the original author.
"The main thing is to wait and see, and then control the scale and speed of the development of the matter." As for what will happen, Wei Qianrong is not clear. It is not written on the information.
Just looking at the news on the Internet, this "spirit" is really popular, attracting a large number of fans of different books and pure and straightforward fans.
"Sleep first, and see if there are any new developments tomorrow. If not, let's meet by chance?" Jiang Xiaoli yawned. If the reality is really affected, these players should actively take responsibility for it. Responsibility is, since you know it when you encounter it, you should go to see it.
Just with this idea, Jiang Xiaoli thought of so many players in the game. Although they escaped death in the dungeon, they returned to the real world after going through the dungeon... If the real world in the future is a group of demons dancing wildly, the chances of players surviving in the end will be greatly increased. Is this also an implicit compensation? Jiang Xiaoli didn't know.
"Luo Mingjie, are you going to sleep on the sofa or go back?" Wei Qianrong glanced at the time, it was already late, and he just called his mother again... "I have a new set of bedding for you."
Luo Mingjie scratched his head, followed Wei Qianrong to the room, picked up the quilt and came out. The sofa is not small, even if you lie down, you can't turn over at will, but it's okay to sleep alone. Luo Mingjie went to the sofa wrapped in a quilt, and sank into the sofa, feeling extremely warm.
"Li Hongying, how did you get sealed into the dungeon by the game?" Back in the room, Jiang Xiaoli didn't immediately hug Li Hongying to sleep. She sat down by the bed, took Li Hongying's hand and asked carefully.
"Because I became red, and after killing the whole school, I wanted to annihilate their souls and even kill all the guys on the Internet who made sarcastic comments and scolded me, but before I started doing it, I was discovered by the game." Li Hongying said flatly. , but when these things were brought up, her mood still fluctuated a little, Jiang Xiaoli could feel it, and just hugged Li Hongying distressedly. "Okay, it's nothing, it's all over." Li Hongying smiled lowly, raised her hand to pinch Jiang Xiaoli's cheek, covered her lips and kissed her, "If you're not sleepy, we can do something else."
"...it's very late." Jiang Xiaoli was speechless for a moment, took off her clothes and got into the quilt with Li Hongying, hugged the cold ghost, Li Hongying's body temperature was also cold, fortunately she had been with Li Hongying for a long time, His body temperature is also much lower than ordinary people. Hugging Li Hongying like this, although it still feels cold, it's not unbearable. Or are you used to it? "Good night." Kissed the corner of Li Hongying's mouth sleepily, and Jiang Xiaoli curled into Li Hongying's arms to sleep peacefully.
Li Hongying raised her hand and patted Jiang Xiaoli's back slowly, she stared blankly at a point in the dark room. Ghosts don't need to sleep, but she likes to be close to Jiang Xiaoli, like Jiang Xiaoli sleeping soundly in her arms.
Whenever this time, she would let herself go and be in a daze. Can ghosts also think about memories? Will other ghosts not know, but Li Hongying will.
She would occasionally think of her life before she was alive, which was colorless and extremely gloomy. She tried her best to escape from the quagmire, but was ruthlessly swallowed and fell forever. It is no longer possible for her to study and go to college like an ordinary person, and have an ordinary and ordinary life in a normal manner. Her chance as a human being has been lost.
When encountering a game, what happens? It seemed that after she brutally mutilated the classmates she hated in the class, after she went berserk and slaughtered everyone, a voice appeared in her mind, calling her name.
Then, the school she was in was separated from the world in an instant, and an invisible force cut the area, and then threw her into a separate space. Although there are scenes outside the school in that space, those are eternal, as if you have come to the border of the map in the game, you can see the place beyond the air wall, but you can’t go there, and the things there are all fake .
And then what? The game told her that she became the BOSS in the dungeon, and she had to play the game with those players under the rules. The rules... divided into birth and death. Because her death and her obsessions are known by the game, her likes and dislikes are used as the rules of this dungeon.
She tricks players into making mistakes, she tricks them into saying things they shouldn't say, she tricks them into doing things they shouldn't do, and she kills them. Let them not dare to approach her, and then be eaten by the ghosts in the class... She is not a good ghost in the first place.
She was in two extremes in life and death, but now... it seems to be sliding towards the middle area.
