Chapter 12 The Only Flower(1/2)
The people around him seemed to be slightly stunned for a second after hearing his words.
The air felt stagnant for a while.
Just as Zuo Zhou kept praying in his heart that no one would answer his call, someone next to him broke the silence.
"Hey, do you think so too?"
The person who spoke was the boss who came to get the wine. He put the wine on the table and then laughed along with the guests.
"I've long seen that guy being unhappy. He hasn't done anything great in so many years, but he's really good at bragging." The boss put the beer in front of Zuo Zhou, and then casually placed an extra-large strawberry sundae.
Place it in front of the person next to Zuo Zhou.
The man picked up the spoon and didn't seem to be listening to what the boss and the guests were talking about. Instead, he took a big spoonful and ate it in one bite.
Zuo Zhou picked up the beer and took a sip, hiding the expression on his face.
He didn't dare to turn around and look at the expression of the person next to him, but he only felt that the other person seemed to be addicted to eating ice cream.
Zuo Zhou was in a trance at that moment.
He had always felt that the person next to him was Faceless, but now, he suddenly felt a little unsure.
Because... in his impression, this guy Wu Mian seems to have always been a very proud person.
If the person next to him is really Faceless, should he stand up immediately and kill these people in front of him?
Even if this wasn't the case, he shouldn't be sitting here quietly like he is now... just listen to what others say about him.
Zhu Xianyue was eating ice cream bite after bite here, and she felt that Xiaobai's voice was about to explode in her ears.
She thought to herself that one day, sooner or later, she would have to find a reason to shut down the transmission system of this smart brain.
"These soldiers of the Ole Empire are so hateful!" Xiaobai's voice was deafening, "How come none of them dared to say that when Wu Mian was alive! They are all a group of guys who bully the weak and fear the strong!"
Zhu Xianyue took three bites of the strawberry ice cream and felt that she couldn't eat it anymore. The ice cream in this amusement park was even more greasy than the one in the previous one.
She took a sip of water and said calmly, "In this world, bullying the weak and fearing the strong is the mainstream."
"How would my brother treat these guys when he was alive?"
"How else can we deal with it?" Xiaobai's voice was particularly angry. "Those soldiers from the Ole Empire beheaded them in the street and threw their heads to the high-level officials in Highgate. These are the people they let in.
.”
"It sounds like he has done this kind of thing before?" Zhu Xianyue swallowed the water in his mouth.
However, she immediately nodded as if she was not surprised, "Yes, it's his style. The world he went to school in back then also had this kind of virtue. He didn't even know that he offended people everywhere, and he also liked to get ahead of himself...
"
She glanced at the chatty boss again.
"If you don't have a smart brain and your ice cream making skills are not good, you are really useless."
"Such a person seems to have no interest in living in this inherently useless world."
"but……"
Zhu Xianyue let out a long sigh.
"It's a pity that we can't touch him now. Because he is of much greater use alive than dead."
Not surprisingly, Xiaobai's voice became deafening again after Zhu Xianyue finished speaking.
Zhu Xianyue listened to Xiaobai's extremely angry roar, what use could such a piece of garbage do alive? He was disrespectful to the soldiers who defended the country, and disrespectful to the heroes. Even now, he could be brought to court.
She poked the strawberries on the sundae and ate it while twirling the fork in the cup.
If this happened in the past, Zhu Xianyue would never be as calm as he is now.
However, now she is so calm that even she is a little surprised.
From beginning to end, Zhu Xianyue never forgot the camera above her head.
In fact, she was not originally a particularly tolerant character. She was once told by her brother that she was too vindictive and would repay every penny spent, which made her seem immature.
Why is she so calm now?
Perhaps it was because Zhu Xianyue knew that she must not get angry right now.
She wanted to create a persona for her brother, a persona that was enough to whitewash him.
——Similarly, it is also a character that can be used throughout the entire comic.
Character design is indeed a very important thing in comics. Some people are obviously just random characters created by the author, but because the character design is so good, they become the Bai Yueguang that everyone will never forget.
And her brother's character in the comics has always been really bad.
You can probably guess this by looking at Xiaobai's reaction.
Regarding comic character design, to be honest, there are many people who look handsome in comics, but in reality they look a bit crazy.
But similarly, there are many practices that seem extremely normal in reality, but are not liked by people when viewed in comics.
In particular, what her brother did actually went against the overall atmosphere and theme of this comic.
In a comic, the theme that the comic author wants to express is also a very important thing.
Zhu Xianyue's eyes turned slightly cold.
Therefore, in a comic, if you want to gain the love of the so-called "cartoonist", or the will of the world, then you must at least do this.
Understand the theme that the comic author wants to express.
Only by staying close to the theme of the comic can you increase the number of times you appear in the comic.
Zhu Xianyue remembered that she had read a comic before. Everyone called the protagonist of that comic a little angel. He was a kind-hearted person who could become a Buddha instantly.
When she first read the comics, she was moved to death by this kind of character.
However, due to the special situation that Zhu Xianyue encountered recently, she briefly imagined that such a person would appear in reality, and then she suddenly felt a little emotional.
This protagonist probably has some obsessive-compulsive disorder to be able to be so sunny every day in such a dark world view.
Zhu Xianyue had never seen such a sunny person since she was a child. Even when she thought about seeing such a person in reality, she would feel slightly uncomfortable.
This is probably an unthinkable feeling of horror caused by the huge difference between a certain virtual character and a real person.
Zhu Xianyue feels that this feeling may be a bit similar to the "uncanny valley".
But the world theme setting of that comic is "a bright smile can defeat all the darkness in the world", which is almost impossible in reality.
The protagonist of that comic can naturally overcome obstacles and do a series of things that are simply impossible in reality.
In comics, there are many similar settings.
In some comics, no matter how trashy the protagonist is, you can succeed as long as you have friends.
And in some comics, no matter how useless the protagonist is, as long as he has a good father, he can still achieve success.
Zhu Xianyue read the comics related to this world and concluded that the keyword of this world is a very interesting word.
…
That thing is "obsession".
This is something Zhu Xianyue has seen in many comics. This is probably the theme that the author of this comic wants to express.
But in this comic, this obsession is a little different.
If you look carefully, the outstanding characters in this comic basically have one or two obsessions.
This kind of obsession allows them to remain unwavering when facing various challenges and setbacks.
Like the protagonist of the comics, the clown, his obsession is to go home.
And now Zuo Zhou, who is sitting next to Zhu Xianyue, is obsessed with his wife and his daughter.
Faceless has never shown this kind of obsession in the comics.
Zhu Xianyue now needs to find an "obsession" for her brother.
She turned her head and glanced at the soldiers beside her.
Obsession is not something that can be chosen casually. She must find an obsession that fits her brother's personality so that there is no incongruity between the front and back of the character.
Zhu Xianyue thought about it these days and came up with the only obsession that suited her brother, and that was "loyalty."
Unparalleled loyalty to the Kingdom of Highgate.
Zhu Xianyue has never doubted her brother on this point. She has always known that her brother is someone who is willing to dedicate everything to Highgate Country.
In this case, facing these Highgate citizens who she would definitely have a big quarrel with if she saw them, she could not do anything with them now, and even had to pretend to be ignorant.
Because this is the only character Zhu Xianyue can currently capture.
A general who will never retaliate even if he is insulted by the citizens of Highgate Kingdom. If this character is placed in a comic... what kind of effect will it have?
While Zhu Xianyue was thinking about it, she didn't notice that Zuo Zhou next to her seemed a little out of breath.
Zhu Xianyue suddenly asked Xiaobai, "Speaking of which, when my brother was in trouble, did any of his former comrades come to see him?"
Xiao Bai was stunned for a moment, and then his voice suddenly turned from extremely angry to low.
To be continued...
