Chapter 49: Crack the problem of the protagonist's halo
A dusty door was pushed open.
The mercenaries walked in and pointed their flashlights and guns at the house. After making sure there was no one there, Gauguin and Lu Jingyi followed them in.
"Have people guard the outside. We must not let Xiao Tianyi know we are here."
After Gauguin ordered him to go down, Xia Li and Dai Xiyan followed him in.
"It is currently impossible to escape."
Gauguin learned from the cell phone of the person who was killed that all the evacuable places on the map were heavily guarded. Regardless of whether they could break out by force, as long as one person reported their location to Xiao
Tianyi, that's it.
Xiao Tianyi can turn a safe area into the territory of evil spirits.
Moreover, he had determined that Gauguin would personally lead the team this time, so he must be determined to kill them.
"This is a good place to evacuate."
Gauguin opened the window, looked at the rooftop outside, and said, "Now, if I want to escape, I'm afraid I have to kill Xiao Tianyi."
Then, he winked and told all the mercenaries to go out.
In the room, only four people, Gauguin, Lu Jingyi, Xia Li and Dai Xiyan, were left.
"Now... we want to ask you a few questions." After Gauguin said these words, he winked at Lu Jingyi.
Lu Jingyi sat upright, crossed her hands unnaturally, bit her lips for a long time, and then said: "The world we live in is a comic book world?"
Xia Li immediately realized that his conversation with Dai Xiyan had been monitored.
"As absurd as it sounds, it's true."
Gauguin sneered and said: "Have you joined any new religious group? In the past, they preached that the earth is flat, that the center of the earth is hollow, and that the world is a... cartoon?"
Then, he suddenly pulled out his gun and pointed it at Dai Xiyan.
"Perhaps you told Xia Li this?"
Dai Xiyan's expression did not change at all, but Xia Li moved quickly and blocked his body in front of Dai Xiyan without even a second of hesitation.
Dai Xiyan was shocked. He was pointing his body at the muzzle of the gun! If the gun went off, the consequences would be disastrous!
"It has nothing to do with her. I saw it with my own eyes." Xia Li looked at the gun in Gauguin's hand and said without fear: "Whether you believe it or not, I did see another world, the real world, with my own eyes."
"Are you sure it's not hypnosis, fantasy, or taking drugs?" Gauguin said coldly: "According to you, I am the villain and Xiao Tianyi is the protagonist? He has the aura of the protagonist, and I am destined to be killed by him.
The villain who fell? Huh?”
Lu Jingyi persuaded: "Gauguin, put down the gun first! Is it necessary to use the gun?"
"Xiao Tianyi said that besides the six levels of purgatory, there is the so-called seventh purgatory. It was he who summoned the demons from the seventh purgatory to turn Bato Walled City into the Kingdom of Evil Spirits. You said she came from the so-called real world
Human? And if I want to kill Xiao Tianyi, I am destined to have no hope?"
Dai Xiyan stood up and walked to Xia Li's side.
"Yes, that's right. But there is no hope of killing Xiao Tianyi."
"Do you have any idea?"
"I... can't think of a way at the moment."
Gauguin lay down on his back.
"Sit down. Tell me everything. I will slowly judge whether what you say is true or false."
The mercenaries outside were guarding all the passages leading upstairs.
"Ya Ge, remember, once you see someone, you must kill them immediately, and we cannot let Xiao Tianyi know our location!"
"I know...this mission is more dangerous than the previous overseas operations. I would rather deal with terrorists now than carry out this ghost mission!"
"However, with fewer people, we can get more money."
At this time, the mercenary named Yago glanced at the stairs next to him.
"Going up one more level is the territory of the evil spirits. But now I can't see any changes."
"What? You want to take a look?"
"No, I don't want to see it!"
At this moment, Yago felt a drop of liquid pouring on the top of his head.
He wiped it with his hand and found that the palm of his hand was red.
He raised his head and shined a flashlight...
The gap in the ceiling above your head is constantly spilling blood!
…
"Apartment... Scarlet Mission... Evil Spirit..."
After thinking for a while, Gauguin said: "In terms of religious doctrine, the arrangement is quite creative."
Xia Li had already expected this and said, "At least you can be sure that I'm not taking drugs."
"The idea is still very clear. I heard that you have always wanted to engage in game design and programming. If this is the game script you conceived, then I will not deny your talent."
"I believe it." Lu Jingyi said, "We live in the world of comics."
"The world of comics?" Gauguin felt angry and funny: "You believe this too?"
"There are enough crazy things in this world. Demons, purgatory, ghosts. And I don't think Xia Li is someone who can be easily brainwashed."
Gauguin could not deny this. But based on the current information, he could not believe Xia Li's words.
"Let me take a step back..." When Gauguin said this, he felt like he was crazy. "Suppose we live in a comic book called "The Kingdom of Evil Spirits". Then, according to
The so-called blood-lettered instructions, Xiao Tianyi has the aura of the protagonist?"
"You also have the aura of a villain boss."
"Everyone knows that the villain boss will definitely be killed by the protagonist."
"However, this is not absolute. There will be exceptions occasionally." Xia Li is still optimistic about this: "There are also very few cases where the villain can kill the protagonist in the end. For example, there are two books in the real world
, "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and "Water Margin", that's it..."
Although Dai Xiyan lives in a parallel world, there are still four major masterpieces. She nodded immediately and said: "Yes, and the protagonists of "Water Margin" are also gangsters like Gauguin..."
Moreover, in terms of ability, Xiao Tianyi is far behind Song Jiang.
"So I should be encouraged and full of confidence?" Gauguin didn't care, "If it is according to your statement, as long as the author wants me to die, I will definitely die."
"No, the author does not have 100% absolute control over our actions."
Xia Li then explained his exploration and discoveries in detail with Gauguin and Lu Jingyi.
For Gauguin, Xia Li's statement was so absurd that he wondered several times whether Xia Li was suffering from schizophrenia.
"I think it's crazy for me to discuss this kind of thing with you seriously." Gauguin no longer knew how to answer.
Lu Jingyi said: "Your judgment is to assassinate Xiao Tianyi near the end, when the comic author is drawing other plot perspectives?"
"In short, you just can't follow the author's ideas."
"As we near the end..."
Dai Xiyan actually wanted to say that according to "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Liu Xuande would have died of illness in Baidi City before the ending was reached. However, as the ending approached, the hope of shattering the halo of the protagonist was greater!
"Can I ask a question?"
Lu Jingyi raised a key question: "Are the two books you just mentioned belong to the tragedy genre? Do you think this comic has a tragic tone?"
Xia Li shook his head.
"Absolutely not. It can be said to be a completely commercial work."
"What do readers think of Xiao Tianyi?"
"Very...high. In fact, as a virtual character, he is very popular in the real world."
At this time, Dai Xiyan seemed to have thought of something and said: "But, Gauguin, you are also very popular."
Mainly because Gauguin's appearance is very good.
This is also the reason why Xia Li wanted to protect Gauguin.
"What about me?" Lu Jingyi asked anxiously.
"You... are very popular."
Although Lu Jingyi looks good, no one would like a character who betrays the male protagonist.
"If it is a commercial comic and the protagonist is very popular..." Lu Jingyi's mood became increasingly heavy, "Even if it reaches the ending, will the halo of the protagonist disappear?"
Xia Li has also thought about this issue.
But other than that, he couldn't figure out how to break the protagonist's halo.
Although Gauguin is very popular, he is definitely incomparable to Xiao Tianyi. Even if he can survive by relying on his popularity, he cannot kill Xiao Tianyi.
Lu Jingyi lowered her head and thought for a while, then raised her head and said: "All theories divorced from practice are meaningless. Let's at least... try to kill Xiao Tianyi first!"
