Chapter 34: The Protagonist

For some reason, this change caused a strong uneasiness in Ming Chenyan's heart. As a program ape who studied science, Ming Chenyan's thinking had always been rigorous. The dividing line between fiction and reality became blurrier and blurrier, and he wondered if it could be a further possibility that the worlds of fiction and reality began to overlap? Or perhaps …… Deep Sea had undergone some kind of mutation after creating a novel based on a real murder case and writing the entire village he was in into it? As in a normal cell transforming into a cancerous cell? The listening software continued to read aloud: "I can confirm that there is no such person as Gensetsu in the village." Yuan Ming spoke these words firmly: "This, I can be certain of." Dong Xie asked another sentence, "Let me ask you a question, can you be sure …… that you know all the people inside this village?" "I am certain. The total number of people in our village adds up to just over fifty. I can guarantee that there is absolutely no one by that name." "How can that be?" "Speaking of names …… what is your sister's name? You said she was related to someone in the village, so maybe I've heard of it?" "That …… her name is Dong Ning." …… Meanwhile, in the center of K City, a house. "Shit! I lost again!" At this moment, Zhao Qishan was playing a game with Tang Yun. However, in this aspect of the game, he was far from Tang Yun's match. "Back in the day, when me, you, and Dong Xie went out to play games, every time the one at the bottom was him, and the one who played the best was always you." Zhao Qishan laughed bitterly, "As for me, I'm usually the second-best player of all time." "Haha! Great luck, eat chicken tonight!" "Eat your sister's chicken, it's just the two of us!" Zhao Qishan grabbed a bucket of instant noodles from the side and threw it over, saying, "Chicken is out, you eat instant noodles!" Then, he didn't play the game anymore, and lay down towards the sofa behind him, taking out his cell phone and started tapping on the Singularity APP. "I look at the 'Black Ghost Shadow' updated or not ah, tonight, the deep sea big is a big outbreak ah, the book review area are a big outbreak, I play the game this will not know the update is not! Dug trough, updated again! Well, Black Ghost and Dong Xie's Devil's Apartment have both been updated, which one should I read first?" "I'll read Dong Evil's first! Back in the day, when you guys worked together in the university to organize some sort of Phenomena Research Club, didn't you have a great time?" Tang Yun tore open the instant noodles in his hand and cut open the seasoning packet, after playing the game for so long, he was also hungry, and planned to eat some late night snacks and battle through the night. "Well …… so tangled!" Zhao Qishan thought about it and still clicked on Black Ghost Shadow first. After a while, he revealed an odd look, "Wait …… what's going on? How come Dong Evil ran inside the book?" "Ah?" At this time, the instant noodles Tang Yun had soaked had just been boiled, and he had just eaten his first mouthful of noodles when he heard this and almost spat out the noodles inside his mouth, saying, "This, a joke?" "I know!" Zhao Qishan immediately understood, "It must be because Dong Xie contacted the Deep Sea Grand and asked the Deep Sea Grand to include his name, right?" "I see, a friendly cameo, huh?" "It's still interesting! Let's see… …… Hmm? Wait, I remember Dong Evil's sister, is indeed called Dong Ning, right? How come even her name appears?" Tang Yun took another bite of noodles and said, "This is okay? Two siblings making a cameo together?" "Speaking of which, Dong Xie was so weird last time, going to Hawaii for a wedding and ending up leaving straight away." "The weirdest thing would be that friend circle photo, right?" Tang Yun thought for a moment and said, "After Dong Xie deleted the photo, he sent out another friend circle saying that it was his PS, but I always felt that something wasn't right. Is Dong Xie that good at PS? I remember when he restarted his computer in the middle of his sophomore year computer exam, he ended up nullifying all of his previous exam results ……" "Haha, maybe his PS level has improved now? But …… then again, I always feel like maybe it'll end tonight too maybe. Tang Yun, guess who the black shadow is?" "I guess …… how can I guess." Tang Yun smiled bitterly, "Then guess who it is?" Zhao Qishan pondered for a while before saying, "I still think that Yuan Ming is the black shadow." "That can't be right, if it's really written that way readers won't send razor blades to the author?" "In theory it should be like this, but Shamu Da's thought process is very bizarre, no one can guess ah. Directly come a split personality is also very possible." At this moment, within the Blue Moon Village. Dong Ning, who was walking towards the front of the village, was pondering about the relationship between Yuan Ming and Deep Sea. In reality, Yuan Ming, if he followed that voice he heard on the tape, what happened to him should have been like this: his mother cuckolded his father, and after discovering the truth, his father fell into a frenzy and killed the entire family, not even sparing the maids and the family dog. At the last moment, Yuan Ming's mother fought with his father to save her son, and it is assumed that the result was that they both died, while Yuan Ming escaped. The police later investigated the scene and did not realize that Yuan Ming's father, Yuan Hua, who was the victim, was the real murderer. The escaped Yuan Ming was trafficked and sold by human traffickers to who knows where, but in the end he re-escaped back to his hometown. He knew that the real killer was his father, but he still hid the matter. The father was dead and could no longer be punished by the law, and by exposing the matter, the fact that he was an illegitimate child would be known to the world. However, when Deep Sea came to find Yuan Ming, he offered to buy the house at a high price, which finally made Yuan Ming tell the answer. Then …… the question came. Deep Sea he was willing to spend so much money simply to know the truth of the murder case, simply to make the horror novel more exciting (Dong Ning actually admired him), then the truth of this murder case in the novel is most likely the same as the reality, Yuan Hua is the real murderer. The difference is that inside the novel, Yuan Ming was not abducted by human traffickers, but somehow woke up after eighteen years and lost all his memories. Inside the novel, who exactly is the black shadow? The real murderer, is Yuan Hua. So could it be that the black shadow is actually Yuan Hua? Or, is it Wang Sizhen, who was killed and died in peace? That said, if Wang Sizhen is the Black Shadow, the plot becomes exactly the same as Curse Grudge, and explains why the Black Shadow never killed Yuan Ming. But even so, inside the novel, Yuan Ming this eighteen years of blank period exactly what happened, is still a mystery that can not be solved open? Speaking of which, Yuan Ming inside the novel, from beginning to end, is not sure if he is Yuan Ming, and Deep Sea also intentionally set up for him to be unable to carry out DNA identification. The deep sea to carry out such a setting, then Yuan Ming is still the real Yuan Ming or not? In the end …… At this time, after Ming Chenyan walked downstairs, he suddenly thought of something and said, "Go there and take a look!" "That?" Gao Yi Yu froze, "What place does that mean?" And at the same time, Dong Ning suddenly stopped in her tracks, picked up the cell phone in her hand, and flipped it open. "Sure enough ……" Just now, she vaguely felt that something was wrong. "Fang Wenxuan, do you think that Yuan Ming …… I mean the Yuan Ming inside the novel is really Yuan Ming?" Fang Wenxuan asked in confusion, "But who else could it be if not Yuan Ming? If Yuan Ming isn't dead it's the protagonist's age and looks similar to the young Yuan Hua ……" "Right." Dong Ning raised his head and said, "It's very similar to the 'Yuan Hua' of his youth, then ……" Fang Wenxuan was a smart man, he understood Dong Ning's meaning! Ming Chenyan walked to a mirror in the corridor, which Yuan Ming had passed by once before in his novel! At this moment, under the flashlight, the wall next to the mirror, a dark shadow was clearly floating! The common image of those killed by the black shadow! "Then …… "Situ Wenxuan realized, "This protagonist written by Deep Sea is actually the long dead murderer Yuan Hua?" The first time Dong Ning felt strange was in the novel, when Dong Xie and Yuan Ming met for the first time, he addressed Yuan Ming as "Fukai Da". However, Yuan Ming's first reaction was "Who is Deep Sea?" He completely ignored the last "Da". To the average person, how would they know that "Da" was an honorific for "Fukami"? Perhaps their first reaction would be to hear it as someone called "Shen Haida"? Just then, Dong Ning suddenly stopped in her tracks! She saw Dong Xie in front of a row of tombstones! In her eyes, Dong Yi was facing a tombstone, seemingly talking to someone, but …… in front of the tombstone, he was the only one!
