Chapter 243: The Real Protagonist
After Zhang He heard this, his heart suddenly brightened, and he said: "That's right! There are only backgrounds and rules, but there is no character in the end! Can such a spiritual book still be called a spiritual book?"
Li Lin smiled: "Zhang He, you are wrong, I see that you seem to have seen a lot of things in the past few days, but there are some key points that you still haven't figured out." ”
Zhang He hurriedly said, "Please ask the teacher for advice." ”
At this moment, Zhang He was still ashamed of being disappointed in Li Lin and Murong Mo just now.
It turned out that these two teachers had long seen what everyone couldn't see, and their insight and comprehension were much better than everyone else.
This spiritual book may be incomprehensible in front of ordinary people, but Li Lin and Murong Mo have long seen through the essence of this spiritual book.
"You just said that there is no character, and this sentence is a big problem. Li Lin pointed at himself, then at Zhang He, and said with a smile: "Look at it, aren't we just characters?"
"We?" Zhang He was stunned for a moment and said, "Teacher, you mean that we are actually the characters of this spiritual book?"
"That's right. Li Lin nodded and said, "Not only you and me, but also Shen Zhen and them, they are all characters in this spiritual book." ”
"But...... Teacher, ......" Zhang He thought of something, and was a little difficult to speak.
"Say it, if you have a problem, it's okay. Li Lin smiled, he saw Zhang He's performance in the past few days, Zhang He's comprehensive qualification is really high, and if he cultivates it well, he may also be an ultimate seedling.
"If we are all characters in this spiritual book, then ...... What about the protagonist? there should always be a protagonist, right?" Zhang He raised the doubts in his heart: "Teacher, you once said that the protagonist is the core of the entire spiritual book, and the spiritual book without the protagonist has no potential, since this spiritual book is a five-star spiritual book, it stands to reason that there should be a protagonist, right?"
"The fact that you can think of this is a testament to your excellence. Murong Mo suddenly smiled and said, as the vice president who was forced to take the position, he couldn't help but feel relieved to see the children of the academy so good.
Li Lin smiled and said, "Zhang He, you are right, this spiritual book does have a protagonist, and it is precisely because of the protagonist that this spiritual book has a five-star value." ”
The more Zhang He listened, the more confused he became, not because he didn't understand enough, but because Li Lin and Murong Mo had already known the answer, so that kind of jumping explanation made Zhang He a little unable to keep up.
"Let me say this!" Li Lin pondered for a moment, then stood up and said, "Those who have died are all supporting roles. ”
"And the protagonist is among the three of us!"
"The protagonist, it's among the three of us!"
Li Lin paused for a moment and continued: "From beginning to end, this spiritual book has no other characters other than us, so the most reasonable explanation is that the protagonist is actually among us. ”
"The protagonist is us?" Zhang He said in surprise.
"That's right, one of us is the protagonist, and those who have died are all supporting characters, and only the protagonist will survive to the end. Li Lin said, which also involves the theory of the immortality of the protagonist that he proposed before.
The protagonist will never die, or will die at the end of the story.
According to this principle, the person who died a few nights ago will definitely not be the protagonist, so the protagonist will only be among Li Lin and the three of them.
"So, which of us is the protagonist?" Zhang He asked puzzled.
"I don't know. Li Lin shook his head.
Murong Mo also shook his head.
"If I knew, I wouldn't be so distressed now. Li Lin shrugged: "As long as you know that you are the protagonist and firmly believe that you are the protagonist, you will definitely survive until the last night, the question is, if you are not the protagonist, but you think you are the protagonist, and you end up with the real protagonist to the end, then who is going to die in the last scene?"
"If, if, on the seventh night, it was the real protagonist who died, then the story would be over, and the eighth night would not have to be. Li Lin said helplessly: "This is a very sad question. ”
Zhang He frowned and said thoughtfully: "So teacher, you mean that you must make the real protagonist believe that he is the protagonist, and then live until the last night?"
"That's right, let's assume someone is the protagonist, but he doesn't know that he is the protagonist, so from the point of view of the Reading Stone, he can be killed. But if someone firmly believes that he is the protagonist, and he is also the protagonist, then he can survive until the last night, and even successfully complete the main quest and survive the eighth night!" Murong Mo concluded: "This is the only way to complete this main quest!"
"Teacher, you are bringing this up now, just to let me know that I may also be the protagonist?" asked Zhang He, pointing to himself.
"Yes, there is Huigen. Murong Mo laughed: "If you don't know about this, but you are the real protagonist, and you are killed in the end, then this story will be over." ”
If Zhang He is the real protagonist, but he does not believe that he is the protagonist, he may be selected as the deceased by Reading Stone.
And those who died before, the story does not end after they die, so it is obvious that they are all supporting characters.
It's a bit tongue-twisting, but the point is probably only two sentences.
1. People who believe that they are the protagonists will not die, and even if they die, they will stay until the end.
2. The real protagonist must be convinced that he is the protagonist and then live until the eighth night to be able to complete the main quest.
"Teacher, I still don't understand. Zhang He scratched his head: "If all three of us believe that we are the protagonists, then who will die tonight?"
"That's the problem. Li Lin sighed: "If we all think that we are the protagonists, from the perspective of Reading Stone, the three of them are the protagonists, then ...... It doesn't matter if one of them dies, right? As long as any of the main characters are alive, the story has value to continue, I say, you know?"
Zhang He exclaimed: "In other words, if all three of us think that we are the protagonists, then one person will die randomly tonight......?
"The story will end early, and our main quest will fail?!"
Dignified.
Grimness.
Now is the critical moment.
The real protagonist must be found among the three, and then this protagonist must believe that he is the protagonist and live until the last night, and the rest of the supporting characters in this process cannot believe that they are the protagonist, otherwise it may lead to the "manslaughter" of the reading stone to the real protagonist, so that the story ends early.
"Now we have to find out the real protagonist, the question is how to find out, there is no clue yet. Li Lin leaned against a tree and sat down, looked at the sky that was still shining brightly, and said, "You must find it before nightfall, otherwise you will ......."
Otherwise, someone will die.
If the real protagonist doesn't realize he's the protagonist and ends up being killed, the story ends.
A few nights ago, because of good luck, Reading Stone didn't kill the real protagonist, but there are only three people left tonight, and the chance of killing the real protagonist is undoubtedly much greater.
"The main character, as distinct from the supporting role. Murong Mo took his hands and pondered, "The question is, how do we define the protagonist?"
"Define the protagonist?"
"Yes, the protagonist of any story must be different from the supporting role. Murong Mo's eyes were deep, and he said slowly: "As the protagonist, you have to have a convincing reason. ”
"It may be the possession of special abilities that are beyond the ordinary, or the luck of being able to turn danger into a disaster no matter what danger it encounters. ”
The three fell silent again.
In this monotonous and empty world of spiritual books, it is really not easy to prove who is the protagonist, there is only a day and night alternation without plot progression, and the three people are more like waiting for death, who can perform the demeanor of the protagonist?
"Maybe we can think about it from a different perspective. Li Lin had a flash of inspiration in his head, suddenly stood up, and said, "What if the protagonist is a real person, and the rest of the people are fake?"
"What?" Murong Mo raised his eyebrows.
"That's right! That's it!" Li Lin became more and more excited the more he thought about it, clenched his fists and said: "Only the protagonist is a real person, and the rest of the supporting characters are just people made by the reading stone!"
