I Persuade People With Reason

Zhang Chen seemed to wake up from a long dream.

When it was not the memory that penetrated deep into his subconscious layer by layer, as the master, he was also forced to walk through the memory in a state of confusion.

The essence of his soul is just an ordinary person. He has not been able to see the scene about the truth of the world. Until the moment before he wakes up, all his impressions are still on the road filled with blood, and the last scene in his memory is frozen. On the self who was powerless to die.

"No, today's novel hasn't been updated yet, and I haven't become a great god..." The strong inner voice was still in his mind when he died? It echoed, even with many memories that Zhang Chen had long forgotten. He turned it over again - that was the past. Even if he was on the street for many years, he was unwilling to give up. He insisted on coding day after day; he worked **** writing skills by himself; he repeatedly revised novels in front of the computer every night... Scenes and scenes of ...

In the empty room, Zhang Chen, who was slumped on the ground, shuddered suddenly, and his dazed eyes completely regained focus: "Since I was reborn, what have I done..."

"I wasn't like this before... I persisted for so many years, didn't I just hope to become a great **** with my own efforts, and let others know that the so-called talent is not absolute - what am I doing now?!"

Zhang Chen punched the ground heavily.

At this moment, he finally came to his senses.

It was the protagonist-like treatment of "rebirth" that blinded him. From the first time he chose to plagiarize, he was distorted by the praise of the outside world, and he had completely forgotten that the so-called genius writer was just wrapped around him. The shell, the real him is still the author of the street throwing in the previous life, and even his only advantage has been lost.

And the things he stole are never his own. When the truth is revealed, he can't even do it again as the author of the street in his previous life.

Retrieving the mentality of the former author who could only get a small gain no matter how hard he tried, Zhang Chen suddenly realized how excessive what he did. Not only was his work stolen by him, but he was also beaten down? The "cloud" of , what kind of damage has been suffered!

"I'm sorry..." Zhang Chen raised his head and wanted to apologize to the other party, but only saw a closed door.

He opened his mouth wide and looked stunned.

The moment the door closed, through the narrowing gap, he vaguely saw a back figure walking further and further away.

·

"...The change in his two lifetimes was because his soul was polluted?"

After Yuan Buwei went out, he was still thinking about the picture he just saw in Zhang Chen's memory, and his thoughts flashed one after another.

"No, his soul is not twisted, it should just be bewitched by the literary system."

 … Just as the same influence produces evil thoughts, some people are at most just playing a prank, while some people want to kill people and set fire to themselves, in the final analysis.

If Zhang Chen didn't have those dark thoughts in his heart, how could the so-called Wenhao system deceive him?

Yuan Buwei's thoughts about Zhang Chen were just a flash in the back of his mind. After all, he is not the original Yun An, and it is not up to him to choose whether to continue revenge or forgive.

At this time, the original reason is not to pay more attention to another matter.

Knowing that the "Wenhao System" was actually born from Zhang Chen's distorted obsession? It is strange that it has intelligence in itself, and many previous speculations have not been verified.

Perhaps it is precisely because Zhang Chen's obsession before his death is to become a great god, so this weirdness, which was only born in obsession, is so special, and the ability it possesses is only related to novels, so it is laborious to encourage Zhang Chen. Plagiarizing novels to gain prestige, and secretly withholding most of them...

At the end of the story of fate that System 999 has seen , or even single-handedly push it?

Sealed objects and weirdness are just human classifications. The Secret Service refers to special things that humans can contain and control as sealed objects, and vice versa is weird.

But this classification is meaningless to them, like domestic cats and feral cats, which are still essentially the same kind. Isn't the Bunhao system, which seems to be harmless and easy to control, also classified as a usable Sealed Artifact by the Special Affairs Bureau? In fact, it's just a wild cat pretending to be good.

Taking it a step further, among all the abnormal events that were not previously involved, but only heard of, some are particularly special.

Whether it is "Seven Deadly Sins" or "Flame of Hatred", even the source of the abnormality found in Tianze City not long ago, a piece called "Heart of Remorse", which can affect the resonance of human hearts through the heartbeat, as well as other incidents that happened abroad. Other similar anomalous events - all seem to be more or less involved in human emotions.

It is inevitable to wonder whether these weirdnesses, which are only symbols of rules, will be transformed after collecting enough human emotions and six desires, and become like the literati system, giving birth to their own spiritual wisdom.

Then in the original destiny plot, the extinction of human beings and the bizarre trend, there is another interpretation - when the rules of the world are distorted and polluted, the human race is eliminated due to its inability to adapt. The eccentrics who perfectly adapted to the environment gave birth to intellect, taking over the place of human beings in this world as a new race.

Just as the ancient overlords on this planet were eliminated in the evolution of the environment, and the rise of human beings was common.

This kind of guess was played in my mind, but I had walked out of the area where Zhang Chen was imprisoned, returned to the core area of ​​the Special Affairs Bureau, and saw Director Chu at a glance.

"How is it? Did you find anything?" Director Chu seemed a little anxious, and asked as soon as they met, "What is the negative impact of the Wenhao system? If the impact is not large, or other sealed items can be used to weaken the impact and offset it. At the price, this will be a special Sealed Artifact at the strategic level."

"..." Yuan Buwei fell into a brief silence.

... This? How to say it? Do you want to say that those things that you regard as sealed objects are very likely to be unreliable, and you think they are just weird futures incarnated by rules? It is possible to give birth to wisdom in the future, especially? To come? Possibly incarnate the mind of a new strange race and become the greatest enemy of mankind? ? ?

It wasn't because he didn't answer, he turned his eyes and asked, "Did something happen again?"

If it weren't for a major event, Director Chu's own shrewdness and energy-raising skills would not have caused such a gaffe.

There must be a change in the external situation. The Wenhao system, a "sealed artifact" that can feed back its power to readers and enhance the self-protection power of most ordinary people, can change the situation, so much so that Director Chu has not dealt with it. High hopes were placed.

Director Chu was stunned for a moment, and said by default, "You have discovered this? You are indeed very sharp."

Having said that, he signaled that he had not entered a room similar to a conference room together, and he also summoned many high-level officials of the special affairs bureau, including Bai Ze.

"It's too complicated to say, you can see for yourself."

On the big screen on the opposite wall, an encrypted document that had just been sent to the Special Affairs Bureau was projected.

"...This? It came from the Sanctions and the Council."

The so-called Sanctions and Parliament are the official investigative agencies of the Stewart Empire and the Alan Alliance respectively, and their responsibilities are similar to the Special Affairs Bureau here in Tianxia.

After watching the projection on the screen, everyone in the audience almost gasped: "30 million people died in three days, and there were more than 400 abnormal events, big and small... On their side... the weirdness has raged to the point of Is this the point?"

Director Bai Zexi's deputy stood up and explained: "It was fine in the past, the frequency of abnormal events was relatively low, and the sanctions and the parliament could barely maintain order. However, during this period of time, strange and frequent outbreaks occurred. The previous Tulip incident and The strange rain incident has just been resolved, and several big changes have occurred one after another..."

"Especially the Stewart Empire, because of an unknown mutation that has been erased from everyone's memory and concepts, 8 million people have evaporated at one time, and the order of the entire country has completely collapsed."

The atmosphere in the conference room was solemn.

The death of so many people is almost equivalent to a war. It is definitely not something that the high-level officials can suppress if they want to hide it. I am afraid that it will not be long before the news will spread all over the world. Domestic panic in Tianxia is also inevitable.

Yuan Buwei finally understood why Director Chu was eager to verify the negative price of Wenhao's system-because he had already anticipated the evolution of the situation in the future and had to prepare in advance.

When the atmosphere of the special affairs bureau was dignified, ordinary people in Tianxia didn't know about the major events that happened abroad. Now the hottest news on the entire network is derived from the previous post that suddenly acquired superpowers.

Originally, there was a lot of discussion, and they all speculated that the superpower suddenly acquired was related to the novel "Investigator's Daily" and the mysterious "Yuxia".

When the crisis in Tianze City was lifted two days ago, a group of people headed by Zhang Yue shared their experiences on the Internet, and vowed that the power that came to them at a critical juncture came from "under the abyss", and netizens even more Is this? Believe it.

As a result, "Yuanxia", which had just fallen from the hot search for a few days, was hit the headlines while it was still hot, and the book review area of ​​"Investigator Daily" fell again.

[My heart is itching, I really want to know what happened, did Yuanxia really save everyone? It is incredible to be able to bestow power on so many people out of thin air! ]

[Ah, ah, I roll around all over the place in envy. Really want to be in reality? Summon a Ji Bai, I want to go crazy Rua Aji! Qiuqiu give me this chance. ]

[Can ordinary people really acquire the skills in the novel? Even if it's only temporary, it's amazing. I hope Yuanxia can come forward and reveal a little. ]

At the beginning, the atmosphere on the Internet and in the book review area was relatively harmonious. Either the melon eaters were curious and the lemons, or they were grateful to the parties involved in "Yuanxia", or the onlookers who were constantly stunned... ...after all, most of the readers caught in anomalous events escaped the danger, and some even had spare capacity to help other ordinary people, and there were not too many casualties.

However, it didn't take long for the news from the Stewart Empire and the Alan Alliance to shock everyone.

Those cold text descriptions, tragic photos of the scene, and various remarks made by the relatives of the victims and survivors to vent their emotions, made Tianxia people who originally only wanted to eat melons fall into panic.

[Okay, so miserable, this? Really miserable. I can't imagine the tragic consequences if the same thing happened to us, someone I know, or even myself... Thinking about it is unacceptable. Is this? Is it weirdly scary? ]

[Ah this?...What happened to this world? ]

[Even though the Secret Service has been promoting it, I don't have that deep concept of weirdness. Because we have not experienced abnormal events, we are relatively peaceful in Tianxia. Several incidents that happened before were quickly resolved. I really always thought it was nothing. This? Like earthquakes, floods and other natural disasters, it is only a temporary difficulty, as long as we are united, we can always overcome it. But now, I don't think so. Can we humans really persevere in the face of this kind of strange existence that is completely beyond our imagination? ]

[I feel ridiculous for my own shallowness. I always thought that investigators were like superpowers in novels, powerful, extraordinary, and mysterious, but now I know that they are fighting against such beings. To be able to evaporate 8 million people overnight, in order to prevent repeating the same mistakes, the unknown weirdness that will be directly erased by the trial? Memory and concept... What kind of despair should the investigators who fight against this kind of monster be? ]

[Look, the Stewart Empire and the Alan Alliance have both been hit hard, and it's our turn to Tianxia next. The three major powers are of equal strength, and the first two are so miserable, can Tianxia be spared? I think this? The world is about to be destroyed. It's better to do everything you want to do before the end of the world. ]

[No, I don't want to die! I studied hard, worked hard, paid off my mortgage, and didn't enjoy anything, so I'm going to die? Investigators and special affairs bureaus are all trash! ! ]

Netizens reacted extremely violently, but no matter which one, they tended to be pessimistic. As time went on, more and more detailed information about the other two countries came out, and the pessimism grew.

The whole network is filled with a strong atmosphere of despair, and there are many people who break the jar and take the opportunity to make trouble. The number of criminal incidents across the country has skyrocketed.

It looked like a harbinger of a doomsday crisis.

I don't know who suddenly mentioned the topic that was popular on the Internet a few days ago:

[Isn't that saying that Yuanxia can give readers power out of thin air, implement the skills in the novel into reality, and even summon the protagonist of the novel? If all of us became his readers, wouldn't all of us be able to temporarily gain superpowers, in an anomalous event, to protect ourselves? ]

As soon as these words came out, many people responded as if they had grabbed a life-saving straw.

[...That makes sense. You are such a clever little devil! So we don't need to worry so much? ]

[I think it works. Where is the Great Abyss? Summon Yuanxia to save the world! ]

Someone also retorted:

[Heh, your thinking is too simplistic, who knows if Yuanxia's abilities are limited in scope and time? Even if he can protect the whole country at the same time, who knows what the price will be? Will he really want to? Do you see this? Has he responded online once in so many days? ]

[I think so too, hoping Yuanxia is not reliable at all. Book fans will always be blindly confident in your greatness. ]

[No, I'm not a fan of books, but I believe in Yuanxia. Because of his status as an investigator, and because he has solved abnormal incidents and saved people several times, I believe he will not let us down this time. ]

"Sure enough? That's it..."

In the Special Affairs Bureau, Director Chu and others learned about Tianxia's current situation from all aspects, especially the public opinion on the Internet, and they couldn't help but sigh as expected.

"Things on the Stewart Empire are too tragic, and the sense of crisis that weirdness brings to everyone is too serious. Even if we use official power to control and criticize for a while, we will only suffer greater public backlash in the future. It caused more panic among the people.”

"To appease people's hearts and reset the order, the best way is to let everyone know that the Special Affairs Bureau has the power to protect everyone..." After saying this, Director Chu turned his attention to Yuan Buwei, "For example, a person who has already He has exposed his abilities on a large scale, and most people are willing to believe that he can save everyone and stand up as a banner."

"What do you mean? Is... artificially shaping a savior??"

I didn't ask questions calmly, as if I wasn't talking about myself.

Director Chu and others all nodded, and everyone's eyes were focused on Yuan Buwei, full of expectations.

... This? It's a win-win thing, it can both appease people's hearts and condense the prestige that they didn't do. They don't think the other party will choose to refuse.

But after pondering for a moment, Yuan Wei unexpectedly said:

"This request... Pardon me for rejecting it."
