The Creator of the Second Dimension

The discussion about "Soul Eater: Zero" on the Internet is still going on, which is somewhat beyond Xu Rui's expectation.

Then he thought about it, maybe it was because there had never been such a rigorous publicity fraud in this world, and people subconsciously thought it was a means by the animation production team, thinking that these protagonists would appear in the next episode, and they used ingenious means to solve the problem. enemy.

Of course, some people speculate that Huangfu Xun is the real protagonist, and everything is foreshadowing, but they are quickly refuted by the character introduction on the "Soul Eater: Zero" official website.

In addition, although "Eating Spirit Zero" on Earth also adopted publicity fraud, but in the era of animation broadcast, the exchange of information was not so intensive. Even Xu Rui was not the first to watch the update at that time, but It was only recommended to watch when it was almost finished.

But it’s different here. Communication on Weibo forums has become a daily routine, and things with rich social attributes will be infinitely magnified on these platforms. Topic animation.

Needless to say, some official accounts are fueling the flames in order to earn traffic, anyway, they don’t have to care about the popularity, whether it’s "Soul Eater: Zero" or "Soul Eater: One" and "Soul Eater: Two", follow the hot spots to make up jokes That's it.

There are also more discussion topics about "Soul Eater: Zero" in Wenhu. Driven by the big V in Wenhu in the animation area, the questions are basically phantom sunspots and brainless trolls fighting soul experts and passers-by.

"I really didn't expect that Xu Rui, who was born in the "Voice of the Stars", would rely on such a strange gimmick to promote his own animation. It really fell from the altar."

"This work has such a strong start, it must be very difficult to end. I heard that the magic power is already busy, and the second episode is very likely to open the skylight."

"I have a cousin's classmate's uncle's son who works as a security guard at the company next to Huandian, and he said that Huandian's building is empty!"

There were all kinds of discussions, but Xu Rui only glanced at the comments at the beginning, and then devoted himself to the intense follow-up production.

This time due to adequate preparations, the animation production of "Soul Eater: Zero" went very smoothly. When the first episode aired, most of the episodes had already been completed, so there is no need to worry about not being able to catch up with the progress.

Just when the popularity of "Soul Eater: Zero" on the Internet has decreased, the second episode was broadcast.

There has never been so many people waiting for an animation update on Chengkong Video Network in the past few years. At this time, the first episode of "Soul Eater: Zero" has more than 10 million views, only one episode, and the popularity of the same period But it far surpasses "The Iron Magician".

On January 13th, it was Sunday night. Even though he had to go to work the next day, Luo Ziang, a well-known troll on the A2 forum, stayed in front of the computer, waiting for the second episode of "Soul Eater: Zero" to air.

He was bored browsing the group chats and forums. Luo Ziang’s animation review in January should have received many comments due to the lead, but because he was shocked by the first episode of "Soul Eater: Zero", he did not dare to write a review of this animation. , causing no one to care about this post, and he couldn't bear to reply repeatedly, so he could only watch the post sink.

For this reason, Luo Ziang used anonymous trumpets to blackmail "Soul Eater" on various platforms, such as fabricating Phantom to go bankrupt, slandering the original author of the comics because of unspoken rules, and so on. In his opinion, it is anonymous anyway, no one knows that he did it, and if he has the ability to hit him along the network cable.

In the eyes of many people who don't like "Soul Eater: Zero", the second episode is the one that can nail this animation to the pillar of shame. They are looking forward to the collapse of the plot, because in their perception, the first episode This ending can no longer continue.

How can you continue after the main character is dead?

When it was eleven o'clock, Luo Ziang refreshed the page, only to find that it couldn't be loaded.

He refreshed it twice more, but it still couldn't load.

"Did the production team really run away?"

Luo Ziang was very excited and posted on A2 without much confirmation.

[Heavenly Dog]: Haha, I knew it, the production team of Soul Eater Zero didn't know how to complete the plot, so they just ran away. 【Screenshot】【Screenshot】

Just after posting the post, Luo Ziang saw several replies.

[Assault Team Leader]: Is your computer broken, I can see it here?

[Green leaves never fall]: You have a network card, I've been here for two minutes.

[Stark and Theo]: I'm afraid there are too many people watching, and your page crashed?

Seeing these replies, Luo Ziang thought of this possibility. He disconnected from the Internet, restarted the router, and took a while to reconnect. This time, he can click on the second episode.

He minimized all the groups and focused on watching the second episode.

Originally, Luo Ziang was still curious about how the second episode would explain the last episode's mass destruction, but at the beginning of the second episode of "Soul Eater: Zero", except for a few seconds of flashbacks from the previous episode, there was no mention of the protagonists at all thing.

The shot is exactly the same as the first episode, and it is also a scene overlooking the city. The story is narrated through the dialogue of the walkie-talkie, and the shot finally jumps to a car.

"Is this reset?"

Luo Ziang asked subconsciously, but found that the people in the car and the protagonist team were not a group of people at all, they all looked strange, without the slightest appearance of the protagonist.

Then, the plot develops along a trajectory similar to that of the first episode, and encounters a crisis, which is resolved by various means.

At this time, a girl with short hair and wearing a junior high school uniform appeared on the stage.

She uses a long sword to fight evil spirits with exquisite swordsmanship. The paintings are relaxed, and the block-shaped explosions are shocking but not chaotic, which is very enjoyable.

"Li Leshen?"

Luo Ziang heard the girl's name, and saw that she soon met the long-haired girl who killed all the protagonists at the end of the last episode. At this time, Luo Ziang knew that the two had known each other for a long time, and even had a relationship. very good.

The battle between the two unfolded in the subway. The soft beauty of the girl and the fierce sword light intertwined, which was suffocating. This performance even made Luo Ziang feel like a martial arts movie. He once forgot that he actually wanted to hack this animation.

The two hit the ground from the ground, but because of Li Leshen's entanglement, she made a mistake, was affected by the explosion, and then was bitten by the huge spirit beast Luan Honglian summoned by Huangfu Xun.

The petite Li Leshen was lifted up. Huangfuxun raised his knife and gently cut Li Leshen's clothes, revealing a looming, undeveloped body, making Luo Ziang's face close to the screen, as if he wanted to see more .

"Why is this happening, sister Kaoru?"

On the screen, Li Leshen, who was tortured by the spirit beast for a while, looked at Huangfu Xun in front of him and said.

"For the first time, I have someone I like, and for the first time, I have someone who can be a lifelong friend. Two happy things overlap, and these two happiness bring more happiness. , should have been a happy moment like a dream, but why did it happen?"

At this time, the lines have changed from utterances to background sounds to show Li Leshen’s mood. The burning subway shone with fire on the faces of the two girls. The whole composition seems to be split from the middle, and one side is dark and cold. world, on the other side is the catastrophe of burning anger.

Luo Ziang was a little touched, and then he saw the camera turn to Huangfu Xun. This beautiful girl with black, long straight and expressionless face raised the long sword in her hand.

"Don't call me sister!"

The hand raised the knife and fell, the screen went black, and the three characters of Soul Eater: Zero appeared on the dark screen, just like the first episode.

? ? ?

What?

Luo Ziang originally thought that after watching the second episode, he would be able to start hacking this animation to his heart's content, but now that he has finished watching it, his mind is still a mess.

"The [beep——] are all gone again?"

Luo Ziang froze in front of the blacked out computer screen, unable to speak a word.

Until, a doorbell woke him up, and Luo Ziang came to the door.

"Who is it?"

he asked.

"Open the door and check the water meter."

Someone outside answered.

"oh."

Luo Ziang opened the door, at this moment, he suddenly realized something.

It's eleven o'clock in the middle of the night, and my water meter is downstairs.
