Chapter 114 Episode 5 Serial
Zhou Ning was slightly stunned, and then realized that with the nature of the optical computer, he would probably have to make a guest appearance in a TV series again. After being fleeced for a month, he now felt like a tool.
Besides, he was also very interested in the last episode of the drama before the server was launched. If nothing unexpected happened, the optical computer would sort out the current situation in the game before the server was launched, and edit it into a complete promotional video to prevent players from being confused after entering the game.
This was also Zhou Ning's opportunity to gather intelligence. He just didn't know how the computer would edit it.
I clicked into the forum, found the pinned TV series release post on the homepage, and clicked on it.
I have to sigh at the popularity of "Apocalypse" nowadays. It has only been released for less than 5 minutes, but there are already tens of thousands of accumulated barrages.
"Finally an update. It's been 20 days since I last updated it. I've been waiting impatiently."
"Here I come, where's my husband?"
This series is very long, nearly two hours, which is equivalent to the length of a movie.
The first shot shows an endless darkness, in which lies a book. Although no one is turning the pages, the pages open automatically. The camera then moves slowly down, giving a close-up of the pages.
The text is in the game's unique Braxton language, but the computer thoughtfully marked each line of text with translated subtitles.
Through the translation, the audience learned that the above recorded what had happened in the format of an opera.
Opera in four acts:
Act I, Scene I: "Destined Death"
Starring: Wayne Stewell, Alan West, Richard Pesa, etc.
Plot summary: In a dark cell, Wayne Stewell and 31 other prisoners await their destined death. This sacrifice may fail, but it does not affect the destined outcome.
The computer then showed several montage shots. After the plot summary, the camera switched to the prison cell, where Zhou Ning, Alan, Richard Pessar, Luke Shaw and others appeared.
The camera switches to the page of the book, and the first line reads: Alan West (crying): "It's over, it's really over this time..."
Switching back to the prison cell, the crying little fat boy also said the same sentence almost synchronously.
……
At first the audience was a little puzzled, but after reading it carefully, they couldn't help but think that this book was not a record, but more like a prophecy.
Zhou Ning: ? ?
As the person involved, Zhou Ning of course understood the meaning of the light brain at the first time. Thinking back to his previous dream, he vaguely had a guess: perhaps some of the coincidences he had encountered before were due to the shadow of this book.
For example, I happened to be involved in the investigation of the alchemy ghost, happened to receive the whispers of the ancient gods, woke up to hear the gunshots from the alchemy building, and happened to join the battle. If I hadn't joined, Sherlock would have died at the hands of Holweg, and there would be no subsequent plot. And then I also happened to find Holweg's diary...
Finally, by chance, I even bought a very rare ancient book of Windgun in the underground market.
Furthermore, I was clearly not such a reckless person, yet I actually sneaked into Harrison Rivers's old house alone like I had lost my mind. Even more terrifying was that I didn't even sense anything was wrong at the time!
It was not until now that Zhou Ning realized the fear and got goose bumps on his back.
In other words, this book is very likely to have a strange ability, which can make everyone whose name is written become an actor in an opera script, and will unconsciously act according to its script.
Then, using the same shooting technique, the opera contents in the book were verified one by one. The audience seemed to be watching an opera performance that was both weird and familiar, and even the barrage of comments became much sparser.
The Holwig incident in the second episode, the alchemy bomb incident in the third episode and the assassination of Charles VI... The perspectives of the video are constantly alternating, all the way back to the Elvis assassination in the fourth episode, the book says that the performance failed , the audience finally got angry.
"2333, it still has to be Elvis!"
"You're kidding! If the protagonist is so easily arranged, is he still the protagonist?"
"I guess even this book didn't anticipate Wayne Stewell's close combat abilities to be this strong. They used the word 'unexpected' when describing his defeat."
Amidst the laughter and cheers, the story continues. The camera switches back to the book in the darkness.
The title of this scene is: "Destined Death".
Through the plot synopsis of the new opera, the audience learned that one of the two survivors, Luke Shaw, will go to the Sun Watcher for help because he keeps hearing the evil god's whispers. However, upon seeing the Sun Watcher, he will suddenly go crazy and turn into a monster, and be killed on the spot.
Another survivor, Richard, loses control and becomes a monster, killing nine people. He is then summoned by an inexplicable force and comes to Wayne Stewell, where he is eventually shot dead.
Next, the perspective of the video kept changing. After finding the day watcher, Luke Shaw really died miserably due to sudden madness, just as recorded in the book.
Meanwhile, Richard Pesa, just as described in the opera, killed nine people before turning to Zhou Ning for help. Ultimately, just as described in the opera, he was killed by Zhou Ning. The audience felt incredibly aggrieved.
I have to admire the editing skills of the optical brain. The originally four scattered plots were connected together by it using a book, which makes people immersed in the plot unconsciously. It can even be regarded as a new movie, and people are full of anticipation for what will happen next.
After a moment, the perspective switches back to the book in the dark, and this time the title of the opera makes the audience particularly shocked: "The Death of Wayne Sternwell".
The next shot was of Harrison Rivers, with a subtitle appearing above his head: Noble of the Kingdom of Braxton/Chairman of the Legislative Committee/High Priest of the Cult of the Curse: Harrison Rivers.
Soon, through his conversations with several others, the players learned that Harrison Rivers had devised a conspiracy to ambush Wayne Stewell.
Immediately afterwards, the camera officially locked onto Zhou Ning, and the barrage of comments increased significantly.
"Main film begins!"
"Wow, after not seeing you for more than half a month, my husband looks handsome again!"
"Fuck, there's something wrong with you, aren't you a man?"
"What's wrong with men? Can't they just talk nonsense?" It's obvious that this sentence comes from XB.
Seeing Brother XB's dangerous remarks, Zhou Ning, who was peeking at the screen, couldn't help but feel creepy.
The video continues to play.
After Zhou Ning returned to his alchemy laboratory, just as the plot in the opera was, he received a letter from the postman, asking him to go to No. 52 Mumen Street to discuss the purchase of an ancient book.
Next, the video fast-forwarded and soon it was the next night, when Zhou Ning arrived at No. 52 Mumen Street as scheduled.
When Zhou Ning walked into the living room and saw Alva Ruskin sitting on the sofa and Harrison Rivers blocking the door, the players couldn't help but feel a little panicked.
The protagonist won’t really be killed by this crappy little book, right?
But then, almost instantly, a golden-red battle suit appeared on Zhou Ning. His helmet, arm armor, torso, back, and legs were all covered in golden-red armor. In an instant, the players went crazy.
"What the hell?"
"Fuck, this... is this a mecha?"
"As expected, he is the protagonist, always giving people surprises!"
"Little Broken Book: I don't know why I'm a little panicked!"
The barrage of comments suddenly exploded, instantly covering the entire video.
