Chapter 21: Tampering

Before the residents came to Blue Moon Village, they were already convinced that this village was just like Yan Shen Village, where brutal murders had occurred. Not only that, even the identity of Yuan Ming, the male protagonist, seemed to have a counterpart in reality. Therefore, the residents were quite concerned about this issue, as well. However, Fukami's wife's answer was, "In that regard, it's completely fictional. It's just that at the time, he said that the hero who lost his memory seemed to have a suspenseful atmosphere." Akatsuhiko immediately asked, "That, in fact, on our way here, we climbed into conversation with some villagers, and villagers from other villages mentioned that there had been a murder case in this village." "Is that so? I'm not too sure." Deepak's wife replied, "Maybe it was a long time ago?" "You, completely unaware of it?" "Well, I haven't heard about it at all." Hearing this, the eyes of Ming Chenyan and Dong Ning as they looked at the Deep Sea Wife in front of them both began to become a bit playful. Was she seriously unaware of it? Or was …… simply hiding it? "Maybe it happened a long time ago, so I don't know." In that case, it was difficult to continue the topic. Having said that they didn't know, how could they continue to pursue it? Dong Ning quickly summarized what the information he had obtained so far indicated, that Fukai had modeled the story "Black Ghost Shadow" after the village he lived in. However, the surreal parts of the story were purely fictional. And in the original plan, the Black Ghost Shadow would not die even by the ending, which was an evil spirit taken from Mansion 444 created by Dong Ning's brother. However, because of the movie and television adaptation, the website wanted the author to write an ending where good triumphs over evil. However, that is, when the author decided to have the black ghostly figure end in death, his mental state and daily life changed drastically, to the point where he suffered from severe insomnia, was unkempt and did not even pay attention to his daily personal hygiene. Such a serious state as was just because of Kavin? Obviously, impossible. Dong Ning pondered a question …… Black Ghosts and Shadows only recently put out a quick notice of its completion. And Fukai had begun to plan for Black Ghost Shadow to end with his death at that point. However, this ending was extremely rushed, and when you think about it, there are a lot of holes that were not filled in at all, and the style of writing is different, the true nature of the Black Shadow is not explained at all, why the male lead lost his memory and collapsed in the Yuan family's murderous mansion, and where he grew up over the past eighteen years, remains a mystery. And with the extremely abrupt setting of the so-called Yuan family spell inheritance, killed the black shadow so quickly? Then, Dong Ning reopened the Singularity Net app, wanting to read the last 2 chapters again, maybe there would be clues in there. However, when she once again opened the Black Ghost Shadow catalog on the Singularity APP, she opened her eyes wide. The titles of the last 2 chapters had turned into "I won't die (above)" and "I won't die (below)"! "What the …… is going on here?" Dong Ning immediately continued to start reading, however, the plot within this, was a one hundred and eighty degree turnaround! Originally, in the last 2 chapters, the Black Shadow was exterminated by Yuan Ming through a spell formation. But now the plot has turned into one where the spell formation has no effect on the black shadow! Not only that, but in the chapter "I Won't Die (Next)", even the female protagonist Chen Lan had already died! At the end of the chapter, there is no more happy ending, but instead, the hero, Yuan Ming, flees to the entrance of the Yuan family's mansion in a terrible state, and then he finds a line of blood on the mansion's front door. The words on it were "I won't die"! Grasping his cell phone, Dong Ning only felt chills running down his body. The word count of these two chapters added up to nearly 10,000 words, and the two revisions before and after had almost completely transformed the two chapters into two other chapters, which were completely pushed back. In such a short period of time, how could Deepak finish writing 10,000 words? Her brother usually code word is already considered very fast, three thousand words of large chapters are usually to an hour to an hour and a half. Unless this was a stockpile that Deep Sea had originally prepared. "What the hell is going on here?" Dong Ning Li is about to show his cell phone to all the people around him. "What …… is going on here? Wasn't it the ending just now?" "Yeah, how come the plot has completely changed? The female lead even died?" Deep Sea Wife also clicked on the latest 2 chapters and looked at them, also revealing a very surprised look, "This, what's going on?" At this moment, they were all feeling unimaginable. "Black shadow ……" Dong Ning quickly recalled that something similar had happened before, that is, she and her brother went back to the neighborhood to pick up the courier that time, when it happened that the latest chapter of "Black Ghosts and Shadows" had undergone a revision. The black shadow had left the words "I won't die" in the bathroom. And this time, it was the same again. Not only that, but the message that Black Shadow said he left in this chapter says the same thing. Fukai wanted Black Shadow to end in death, but …… Black Shadow, an evil spirit that was fictionalized as a novel, didn't want to die! So, it began to rebel against the author, Fathom, who was the Creator! What Fukumi writes is then tampered with by the Black Shadow! This time, it was the same! So, Dong Ning did the next thing. She took the recent genuine chapters and pirated chapters and started doing a comparison. Because of the changes made to the genuine chapters, the pirated versions usually didn't bother to rework the chapters after grabbing them. So in the beginning, her brother took advantage of this to write anti-piracy chapters, intentionally writing a fake chapter to be captured by the pirated version, and then modifying it to the real chapter. After making some comparisons, Dong Ning quickly realized that certain pirated chapters, indeed, had subtle differences from the genuine chapters. And these changes all had one thing in common, and that was at the moment when the male lead, Yuan Ming, performed certain killing spells on the black shadow. Before the modification, it always succeeded in producing a kill, while after the modification, that kill would become ineffective. Because Dong Ning had always had a strong sense of copyright, all the other residents had also been not bad enough to subscribe to the original version in order to see the latest chapters earlier, and didn't go to the pirated version, and as a result, they didn't notice this instead. "Every time we read the latest chapter soon after the update, but did not find this change …… suggests that it was immediately after the update that the plot tampering occurred ……" This is not surprising at all. A novel as popular as Black Ghosts is not updated for long before chapters are immediately grabbed by pirates, and subsequent changes are often not corrected if they are not significant. This, too, constituted an important clue to the path of life. Now, Dong Ning understood that what led to Deep Sea's fear was this automatic change in the novel's chapters! "May I ask if …… he said something like he felt that his author account had been stolen by someone else?" Dong Ning asked this crucial question. "This ……" Deep Sea Wife thought about it and suddenly said, "Hmm, right! Come to think of it, he did tell me that he changed the password of his author account." Changing the password! Apparently, the purpose was to prevent the chapters from being tampered with again. However, the chapters were still tampered with, and not only that, Deepak should have tried to rework them, but surely no amount of reworking would help, and the chapters would quickly change back to their original form. Along with that, I am afraid that some psychic phenomena will also appear. These psychic phenomena gradually convinced Deepak that the black ghost shadow, an evil spirit, had automatically tampered with the chapters because it didn't want to die. It was perhaps possible that the current chapters were set to automatically update after Deepak had written them in the author's background. He himself, most likely, had already been killed by the Black Shadow. After the Black Shadow killed Fukai, he was able to write the book according to his own will. Meanwhile …… A silhouette walked up to that one tombstone in Blue Moon Village, the person squatted down and took out a flashlight to shine on the tombstone. "Ning doesn't know where she is right now, we have to rendezvous with her as soon as possible." This person, was none other than Dong Qi! Because his cell phone didn't have a signal, he didn't know about the Black Ghost Shadow update yet. He had run all the way and finally arrived here. Honestly, he now felt that it was a miracle that he was still alive, I'm afraid. He is really …… always dancing with death ah! "This name …… has appeared inside the novel! No, the year of this death is not the same as the novel!"
