Volume 5: Campus Ghost Stories Chapter 87 The World of Fiction
With Li Xuan's comfort and guidance, the trendy-dressed woman finally accepted everything in the death base. With the introduction of this woman, Li Xuan also learned her name, Chen Qian.
After instilling ideas into the newcomers, everyone went back to rest. After all, this rare period of comfort might be the last time in their lives, so no one would waste it.
The two newcomers, Chen Qian and Ling Tian, also conjured up their ideal rooms according to the method Li Xuan had taught them before. At this moment, there were only two people left in the entire carriage. The two newcomers, Sha Bu De and Juedai, had not returned to the room yet, but were sitting there talking about something.
Sha Bude looked at the gangster-like Juedai in front of him, gritted his teeth and said, "I was wondering why I couldn't find any trace of you recently. It turns out that you entered here. It seems that the Emperor of Luck can also have bad luck!"
After hearing this, Juedai curled his lips and cursed with the same cynical look: "Stop whining. This is the Death Base, it's another world. Besides, we don't have much hatred. I'm a killer and you're a mercenary. We don't interfere with each other. Besides, you're a monk. Aren't monks all compassionate? In my opinion, we should just let this score between us go."
"You say forget it?"
Juedai heard this as if it was a matter of course: "Yeah, forget it."
Sha Bu De sneered and cursed, "Fuck you! I was a monk in Shaolin Temple and you brought a woman into my room. That would have been fine, but you even shouted that I was harboring a woman, which caused me to be kicked out of the temple. After that, with my skills, I wanted to be a mercenary and protect those distinguished people to make a living, but you fucking showed up again. I escorted one and you fucking killed one. I escorted another and you fucking killed another. I ask you, how many times have you done this? My reputation in the mercenary world is so bad that no one dares to use me. I'm fucking wondering, how did I provoke you that you would bully me like this!"
Juedai was embarrassed after hearing this. It was just as Shabude said. He received a business deal at that time, but the goal was to lead a group of bodyguards to Shaolin Temple. There were many masters in Shaolin Temple. Juedai had no way to start the business for a while, so he thought of using a woman to mess up Shaolin Temple so that he could take advantage of the chaos. Then he attacked a woman and threw her into a random room. Little did he know that the room belonged to Shabude. After Shabude became a mercenary, Juedai didn't know why, but every time he targeted the people escorted by Shabude...
After many times, Sha Bu De finally got angry. He did nothing but think of finding Juedai and killing him to vent his hatred. However, Juedai disappeared, and now he was unlucky enough to enter this hellhole again.
"Master, this is all a misunderstanding. I definitely didn't mean to target you. Just like a song goes, everything is God's will, everything is fate, and no one can escape it. I can't do anything about fate! Besides, we are all here and we share the same suffering. Please have some mercy on me. Otherwise, if you fight me to death now, even if I kill you, you will be buried with me, right?"
"You fucking scoundrel!" Shabu was so angry at Juedai that he gritted his teeth, but as Juedai said, Li Xuan had just told him that he could not kill his teammates, and he was not sure he could kill Juedai, otherwise he would not have let Juedai succeed and kill the people he protected every time.
In the end, Sha Bude didn't say anything to Juedai. He went into his room with a lot of anger in his heart. He wanted to die now, because he really couldn't think of why he was so unlucky. When a monk was driven out by Juedai, and when a mercenary was ruined by Juedai, his reputation was ruined. Now that he was haunted by this damn curse, Juedai could really be considered his nemesis.
At this moment in Ling Tian's room, Ling Tian was looking at the information Zhang Fengyu gave him with a serious face. After a long time, Ling Tian threw the information aside.
"All of this is so similar to the novel that Lin Tao conceived! What on earth is going on? Is it a coincidence?"
Ling Tian has a very good friend in real life, his friend's name is Lin Tao. The two first met because their homes were close to each other, but later he went to No. 1 Middle School and Lin Tao went to No. 2 Middle School, so the two gradually had less contact. Recently, Lin Tao told him on QQ that he had written a novel, the subject matter of which was part horror and part science fiction mystery.
Lin Tao had heard of science fiction novels, mystery novels, and horror novels, but he had never heard of a novel that combined the two. He became interested, so he listened to Lin Tao explain some of the ideas of the novel . Ling Tian was actually a person who had a strong desire to explore the unknown. After hearing some of Lin Tao's unreasonable ideas, he also put forward his own views.
For example, Lin Tao plans to create an invincible protagonist in the novel, and in order to create a horror atmosphere, other newcomers become extras in every mission. Even if some of them survive by chance, they will die tragically in the next mission. All supporting characters exist to set off the protagonist, and the whole story is about the protagonist's struggle for survival in the story!
After learning about Lin Tao's setting, Ling Tian expressed his strong opposition, because he believed that a novel is equivalent to a world, and the plot of the novel is driven and developed by the various characters in the world. People should have emotions, and only characters with emotions are vivid. Therefore, he suggested that Lin Tao just create an innate advantage for the protagonist, as for how the protagonist will develop, then let it take its course in the story, let the protagonist step out from the crowd step by step, and become a well-deserved protagonist.
But Ling Tian didn't know whether Lin Tao listened to his suggestion or not. However, everything he was experiencing now was similar to what Lin Tao had introduced to him at that time. The story included Li Xuan, Chen Ping, Zhang Fengyu, and Wang Lin, and if he wanted to survive he had to carry out wanted missions again and again to accumulate 100 health points. All of this was surprisingly similar to the novel that Lin Tao wanted to write. The only difference was that the protagonist Wang Lin was dead!
Ling Tian's inner shock at this miracle was beyond description. He found it hard to believe that he was actually in a novel.
But all this was too similar to what Lin Tao said. The tasks, characters and so on were almost completely similar. This made Ling Tian believe that all this was true. He was now in the horror novel written by Lin Tao. Lin Tao was the creator of this world and he was controlling their lives.
Moreover, he could roughly guess how he came to be cursed. It must be that Lin Tao created this character for him in the novel, otherwise he would have no way to explain what was going on.
"What should I do now? I can't contact Lin Tao at all. Should I tell them about this?" Ling Tian wanted to tell Zhang Fengyu and the others about this, but he felt that this answer was hard for them to accept. Should he tell them that they were all fake? Were they just characters made up out of thin air in a horror novel written by his friend? Almost no one would believe this, but the key to unlocking this curse should be Lin Tao, the creator of this curse.
"I must find a way to contact Lin Tao, but what is the way?"
