"But why do you think Xia Li..." Dong Xie pointed to the cover of the comic book and asked, "Maybe the comic book author created this character based on him?"
"It's very simple." Mu Ziyi replied: "I have fully investigated Xia Li. It's not difficult to spend some money. He is like a person who suddenly appeared in this world. Before that... there was no trace."
Then, her eyes became a little solemn.
"What we have to face may be horror beyond imagination. This is... my intuition."
Then, she leaned her head back slightly, picked up her phone and looked at it for a while.
Suddenly……
"Dong Xie."
The look on Mother Ziyi's face became a little strange.
Then, she put her phone on the table.
Dong Xie immediately looked over and discovered that there was a new hot search for "Mother Ziyi appeared at the train station with a mysterious man".
"Many people still remember me." Mu Ziyi looked a little tired, "To this day, for most people, their impression of me is that of a murderer."
Dong Xie took his phone and took a look. Almost all of the comments on Weibo were merciless abuse.
"Did Mu Ziyi buy this hot search?"
"Hasn't the murderer been arrested yet? You actually want to enter the entertainment industry?"
"I am a fan of Li Hanyi, but her murderer is still at large!"
"Strongly demand that the police re-investigate the case!"
"Crack down on evil! Defeat the evil forces behind Mu Ziyi!"
…
Dong Xie clutched the phone tightly and was furious. Just when he was about to curse something, his mother Ziyi said: "Forget it, I am not cautious enough. At the train station, someone took a picture. Fortunately, the picture was not clear enough, so no one should recognize it.
Come out. But many people already regard you as the mysterious financial backer behind me."
"Why do these people..." Dong Xie was mid-sentence when he suddenly froze.
I think back then, when he didn't know the truth, he also made similar remarks online along with Ah Ning.
"At the beginning, many marketing accounts were so conclusive that they almost even wrote down which hand I used when killing someone." Mu Ziyi seemed to have seen through a lot now, but Dong Xie knew very well that this matter
What a terrible blow to Mu Ziyi.
Before this incident happened, because of the drama "Dead Bugs", Mu Ziyi had already gained a little fame, and her career began to show an upward trend. However, the death of Li Hanyi caused her to be boycotted by the entire network, and she was quickly abandoned by capital. If
If it weren't for this reason, she wouldn't have entered the apartment, and she wouldn't have been feared and feared by the residents, including Fang Han, who would have continued to plot against her.
At this moment, Dong Xie began to notice that there were many passengers on the train. From time to time, they would cast their eyes on them and start whispering with their mobile phones. It is estimated that many people may secretly take photos of them and then continue to upload them to
Online.
"How about we get off at the next stop." Dong Xie grabbed Mu Ziyi's hand and said, "Anyway, we are very close to Z City. We can..."
"You have to face it. Compared with evil spirits, these are nothing. As long as I don't die, when I leave the apartment in the future, I will definitely return to the spotlight."
Mu Ziyi knew that there was almost no hope of the stigma on her being washed away.
Dong Xie opened Weibo and wanted to see where the hot search on Weibo was now, but he discovered something else.
The number one hot search on Weibo is now——
"Qiao Chuyi said that the prototype of Batuo Walled City was Lusheng Town."
"This...is this?"
Now, Xia Li is executing the blood letter in Lusheng Town!
Is this a coincidence?
He immediately clicked on this hot search.
Just today, the latest single book of "The Kingdom of Evil" was released. This time, the author Qiao Chuyi wrote in the author's message that the Bato Walled City in the comic was the town where she went to Lusheng when she was in college, and...
There, the Baator Walled City in the comics was created as a prototype. And this time, a rare photo of her was included.
"I'm afraid this is not a coincidence..." Mu Ziyi also looked over, "If that's the case, it would be very interesting."
The Bato Walled City has a prototype in reality!
"When she was in college...at that time, Qiao Chuyi created her debut novel and failed to submit it. But not long after, in her senior year, she created "The Kingdom of Evil" whose painting skills far surpassed that of her debut novel."
This time, Mu Ziyi's destination was Baichuan County in City Z. It was Qiao Chuyi's birthplace. After graduating from university there, she was able to go to Beijing to create professional comics because of the successful serialization of her comics.
"The United States of Chia in the cartoon is a European and American country, but it is a country composed of ethnic groups with Chinese faces." This is what Dong Xie feels most inconsistent with this cartoon. In the cartoon, the European and American political systems and
The concept of abolition of the death penalty is highly respected in its legal system.
If this isn't a coincidence...
Then, "The Kingdom of Evil" itself may have something to do with the apartment...
"However, Qiao Chuyi is in Beijing now. Do we really have no way to find her?"
"Don't go looking for Qiao Chuyi just yet." Mother Ziyi was very afraid of Qiao Chuyi, "She may be highly dangerous. Xia Li participated in your blood letter and finally entered the apartment. There is a lot behind this.
This may all be a deliberate arrangement by the apartment. From the very beginning, the apartment has been guiding Xia Li to become a resident."
Just then, the train arrived at the platform.
Mother Ziyi stood up.
"I'm going down for a while."
After getting off the train, she took her mobile phone and walked under the night.
Dong Xie slowly followed behind her.
After a long time, her footsteps stopped.
Then, she put down her phone.
There is something in a corner on one side not far from the train station.
She walked up and knelt down.
It was an exquisitely made doll, wearing ancient clothes, and the head of the doll... was obviously a braided head from the Qing Dynasty!
Dong Xie was a little surprised when he saw this scene.
"Purple clothes?"
Mu Ziyi looked at the doll and said, "Li Yin also encountered something similar when he was involved in the bloody train, right?"
"Is this why you want to take the train?"
"'She' knew we were coming."
The doll seemed to be staring at the mother Ziyi.
Then, Mu Ziyi picked up her phone and took a photo of the doll.
"Dong Xie, please turn on your phone and take a look at the photo of Qiao Chuyi's message from the author in the latest comic."
Dong Xie immediately picked up his phone and opened it to look at it.
In the photo, most of Qiao Chuyi's face was covered by her hair, and her eyes seemed rather haggard.
As he watched, Dong Xie was suddenly startled.
On a table behind Qiao Chuyi, there is a doll!
When Mu Ziyi put down her phone, she looked forward again and saw that the doll was gone!
The reason why she got off the train was something that even she herself didn't understand.
It was as if some force was calling her.
"Qiao Chuyi...doll...Z city...Lusheng town..."
She silently recited these nouns.
"That doll," she murmured, "maybe it's the reason why Qiao Chuyi's painting skills suddenly improved by leaps and bounds and he created "The Kingdom of Evil Spirits"."
Then, she turned back and looked at Dong Xie.
"I have a premonition. In the near future, the fifth entrance to hell will be opened!"
…
Xia Li looked at the new barrage in the live broadcast room in disbelief.
"The number one hot search on Weibo! It is said that Lu Sheng Walled City is the prototype of Ba Tuo Walled City!"
“It’s actually here!”
"Interesting, will comic fans come here to check in?"
Xia Li raised his hand and clutched his hair.
He has always been a highly rational person. However, at this moment, his rationality is gone.
In my mind, the terrifying memories began to surge...
"Prototype...Prototype...Prototype???"
Qiao Chuyi used this place as the prototype in the comics?
If this is true, is this the reason why reality and the comic world are connected?
Is the border between reality and fiction located in the Walled City of Baator?
Because of this reason, he came to the real world?
Who am I? Where do I come from? Where will I go? These philosophical questions are even more tormenting for Xia Li, because he himself is not sure whether he can be regarded as a real person.
So, he took steps.
He wants to find the answer here.
Maybe here, he can understand... the truth hidden behind "The Kingdom of Evil"!
