Chapter 28: Controlling Black Shadows?
Dong Ning and the other occupants, had long since rummaged through this room, but none of them had been able to find any ancient books. The so-called incantation was obviously just a fictionalized setting of the Deep Sea, and it seemed to be really unrealistic to want to use it to deal with evil spirits in reality. "You said …… "Situ Wenxuan thought about it and said, "Even if we can't kill the black shadow, but if we can use some other spells, such as fixing the black shadow so that it can't move for a period of time?" "It depends on what the deep sea writes." Dong Ning, on the other hand, pondered, "The fact that Yuan Ming can't be killed will definitely be a big help to us. The key lies in whether or not the common ground between reality and the virtual can help us find a way to survive in the end." Right now, it seemed that reality and fiction actually had great divergences and differences. And the biggest common ground between the two at the moment was Black Shadow and Yuan Ming (Deep Sea)! "But it's strange." There was one thing that Dong Ning really couldn't figure out, "Before, the people outside the village, there were saying that there had been a bloodshed case of extermination in this Blue Moon Village. This is odd, having had that kind of case happen, even if it was so long ago, and having absolutely no impression of it, isn't that not normal?" The point of the extermination and bloodshed case matched the plot of the novel. However, Deepak's wife said that she didn't know. It was also because of this point that made Dong Ning strongly suspect whether the Deep Sea Wife was an evil spirit in disguise. Or perhaps, the Deep Sea Wife had been killed by the Black Shadow and had become an evil spirit manipulated by the Black Shadow. The bloodshed of the extermination, and the child who returned after eighteen years, both of these points matched the novel, and were extremely important points of convergence between reality and the novel, but when it really came down to it, it was something that had become completely different. "I wonder when the next chapter will be updated, or if it will be updated again tonight?" This was the question Dong Ning was most concerned about. As a matter of fact, Dong Ning felt that it was very likely that Deep Sea had not left Blue Moon Village, but was hiding somewhere, continuing to write the later chapters of the novel. He should be using his own way to figure out how to deal with the Black Shadow. Although he couldn't kill the Black Shadow, Deep Sea, as the author, should still be able to control the Black Shadow's actions to a large extent. The Black Shadow, as yet, could not completely escape the author's control. This would obviously be the last hope. Right at this moment, Dong Ning's sight swept, and she suddenly noticed that underneath one of the tables on the side, there was a vaguely white corner. "That?" She quickly walked up, squatted down, and proceeded to …… draw out a piece of paper! "This is the …… redrafted ending outline?" The piece of paper that Dong Ning had found had a large pile of text written on it, and it was exactly the same outline that Dong Qi had seen! The residents immediately gathered around and scrutinized the piece of paper. "Uncle Sen, it's Wang Sen, right?" When Ming Chenyan saw Uncle Sen written on the paper, he nodded, "The Deep Sea has indeed realized that the Black Shadow has appeared in reality, and it's starting to overlap highly with the plot." The Blue Moon Village was basically written into the novel as it was done to turn it into a Yama God Village, especially with the village's earth burial customs. And the black shadows then began to appear inside the village, which naturally gave rise to a strong fear in Fukai, I guess. Then, turning the paper to the back, there were contents behind it. Dong Ning opened her eyes wide and looked carefully at the content on it, "I was wrong, I shouldn't have written the villagers inside the novel!" "I tried to deliberately write a plot today, and the plot I wrote was to have the black shadow leave a bloody handprint on a specific piece of tree. As a result, I went there later to check it out, and there really was that handprint on the tree! What Uncle Sam said was also true, the black shadow really came to life!" Seeing this paragraph was really creepy. That is to say, by this time, Deepak was finally convinced that Uncle Sam hadn't deceived him, and that the Black Shadow had indeed come back to life! "Sure enough," Dong Ning was certain of one thing from this piece of paper, "Just as I thought, Fukami can still still exert control over Black Shadow! It's very likely that the Deep Sea is the key to this Bloodletter's life!" In any case, the difficulty of this Bloodletter was on the level of one to two, it shouldn't be too difficult. As long as Fukai could control the Black Shadow's actions, it didn't even need to kill it, as long as it kept the Black Shadow away from this village before returning to the apartment, it would solve the problem. The Black Shadow doesn't seem to make a point of interfering with changes to a plot that doesn't involve its life or death. Of course, the problem faced by Shamu is very different from the problem faced by the occupants. For the tenants, once they return to the apartment, all the curses on the Bloodletter will be cleansed, and the evil spirits will never come back to kill them again. But Fukai was the one who always had to face the black shadow's malice towards him as the author. "I roughly understand ……" Dong Ning took this piece of paper and said, "Because of the movie and television adaptation, it caused Fukai to change the outline of the original ending and rewrite a plot that added a spell setting in order to successfully killing off the Black Shadow in the ending. However, for reasons unknown, perhaps the curse of the apartment, the Black Shadow changed from a fictional character to a real evil spirit. However, the Black Shadow is restricted by the apartment, and although he can tamper with the author's fiction, he cannot kill the protagonist, nor can he kill Fukai directly. Likewise, Fukai cannot kill or injure Black Shadow in the slightest." This creates a subtle check and balance. "If we can find the Deep Sea!" Situ Wenxuan also gradually understood this point: "Then, it will be possible to make the Deep Sea control the Black Shadow to temporarily leave …… or make it at least not to kill us …… All in all, on the premise of not writing the Black Shadow to death, there are still a lot of methods that that can allow us to survive!" But Dong Ning always felt that something wasn't right. Was it that simple? That was the end of the paper in front of him. Fukami's original intention was to kill the Black Shadow through his own keyboard. But right now, it seemed that killing Black Shadow through his keyboard couldn't be done. "As time passes, the apartment's restrictions on the Black Shadow will gradually weaken, and I'm afraid that by the time we reach the eve of the end of the Bloodletter, we'll be able to kill the protagonist, or even Fukai. Or …… by that time it will be completely out of Deep Sea's control!" Dong Ning was most worried about this. Once the Black Shadow was able to completely break away from the Deep Sea's control, the consequences would be unimaginable! At the same time, Ming Chenyan had already sent all the information here to Qin Ziyuan using WeChat voice all the time. At this moment, Qin Ziyuan put down his cell phone and carefully pondered over the current situation. From the intelligence sent by Ming Chenyan, Dong Ning's speculation should be correct. The deep sea was the key to survival, and finding the deep sea would make it possible to solve the problem. Then, looking at it now, it seemed that finding the deep sea would be the way to whether or not one could survive the Bloodletter mission. However, Qin Ziyuan always still felt that something was wrong. He had seen too many evil spirits in the Bloodletter, both those he had experienced himself and those experienced by others. Is it really possible to control this evil spirit just by relying on the keyboard? Is it only that simple? Or did it require some other kind of trigger? In short, it was likely that there were certain limitations that he hadn't realized! Beside him, Mo Yuan picked up his cell phone and sent a voice message to Dong Ning, "Dong Ning, listen up, for the time being, don't consider the fact that the Deep Sea is still alive as a precondition to consider the way of life. Even if the writing style of the chapters is very much like that of Fukami, it doesn't mean that the current content is authored by Fukami, it's entirely possible that all of it is Black Shadow writing the book. It's only due to the limitations of the apartment that Black Shadow can't do exactly what he wants yet." At this time, many of the residents had gathered nearby, waiting for the results of this Bloodletter. "Then again," Mo Yuan became more and more worried at this time, "Could Dong Xie he really have gone to Blue Moon Village?" This was also a question he was very worried about. Perhaps Dong Xie had followed his example from last time and had also gone to the Blood Character Execution Ground, boasting his own life to save his sister! If that was the case, then he admired Dong Xie! But in that case, his life would be in danger. "It's his own choice." Qin Ziyuan considered other issues, "Where exactly is the Deep Sea now? Perhaps this is the key to this Bloodletter!" What Qin Ziyuan was considering was that if Dong Xie didn't die in the Word of Blood, perhaps he could continue to explore the hidden rules of the apartment! Perhaps the new hidden rules could be of great help in stopping the remaining three hellish entrances from opening up as well! The residents were all reading novels on their cell phones at this time, waiting for Black Ghosts to be updated again at any time!
