Chapter 162: Fate Watches Here
Wen Shen behaved like a real ordinary person.
Did he really think so, or was he pretending? The system couldn't tell for a moment.
I can only go at my own pace.
A line appeared at the end of the memo document: "So, your answer?"
Whether he is a time-traveler or not, this invitation will be valid.
Because the name "Wen Weifu" is worth it.
The system didn't get an immediate answer, and the phone was slammed against the table, with the screen facing down, making it impossible to see what the other person was doing.
The mobile phone clearly records the surrounding sounds and transmits them electronically.
First the deadbolt was writhing, followed by a young-sounding female voice.
"Mr. Wen, we have a problem that you need to solve. ”
"Okay, I'll go right away. ”
The deadbolt was twisted again, accompanied by a slight "bang" of the door panel hitting the door frame.
The woman left.
Wen Shen flipped over his phone and quickly typed a sentence, "I have something to do now, and I'll talk about it in two hours." ”
System: "...... Okay. ”
But looking at his extremely calm performance, maybe it's really ......
"Then take him as he is. "It doesn't matter anymore.
"I see. ”
"Wait another two hours, and if Wen Weifu can agree, then there is no need for us to try to contact the other traversers. "There's no need to try other options with more volatile consequences," the author's question was put on hold for the time being, and then ...... How many manuscripts are still unsubmitted over there?"
"The background art and character design are all complete, and there are still some blueprints and some maps for specific buildings, which is expected to take a lot of time. The system replied, "But they are not necessary." ”
Architectural drawings and maps all belong to the category of having the best and not having them.
At first, they didn't even have a plan for either of these things when they asked for the manuscript.
But Black Gold said he could help.
"I'm really not good at this kind of painting, so I have to find other people I know. His words were very tempting, "They're all real big guys, and you can't find a few of them when you search through AS, how about it?"
Guan Li's backhand is a question, "Why are you suddenly so positive?"
"You don't seem to be familiar with this business, it's lucky to meet me, but it's normal to be cheated. It stands to reason that it's none of my business that you're being cheated...... But isn't the 'gram' style that I wasted so much time to find the way to the door be ruined?"
Guan Li was cheated and the money is a trivial matter.
The appearance of shoddy paintings on the website has lowered the style of black gold who is also the artist of the website, which is a big deal.
Is he the kind of person who can tolerate his name being juxtaposed with other miscellaneous artists?
It has to be!
The famous painter black gold is so high!
"As long as you give enough money, I'll take care of the art of your website. Then he started to talk about the deal very clearly, "No matter what style it is, I can find it, vomiting blood friendship price, absolutely worth the money!"
In the face of the hospitality—in fact, it was just because he was too lazy to look for the artist—Guan Li reached a further cooperation with him.
And then some of the works that Heijin took out did not live up to his boasting.
Divine Will: "The painter you know...... A bit much. ”
Black Gold: "Yes, yes, you believe it now!"
God's will: "It's just that the speed of publication is a little slow." ”
Black Gold: "Uh...... The higher the quality of the paintings, the more time it takes, and they are not familiar with commercial paintings...... You're not pressed for time, are you?"
God's will: "The part you are responsible for can be handed in on time, and the other drawings can be uploaded slowly." ”
Black Gold: "That's okay, I'm relieved." ”
"So what about the picture I asked you to modify two days ago?"
Black Gold: "......"
Divine Will: "I remember you saying 'this little thing, it can be fixed tomorrow'......"
Heijin: "I'm sorry, I was wrong, I'll change it right away, don't deduct the money!"
God's will: "Huh?
Black Gold: "...... Goodbye, I'm going to draw. ”
To be honest, although it often drags on for a day or two, the overall speed of his delivery is quite good.
In less than three months, a completely unfamiliar style, dozens of finished drawings, and countless modification steps.
And the black gold still maintains a very high average quality under this kind of work intensity, so that Guan Li feels that he is really lucky, and he has found such a suitable target.
Finding him a painter is equivalent to finding a whole painting team.
Save time and effort.
It can be said that the art staff of the Cthulhu Mythos website no longer have to worry about it, and all that needs to be concerned is the text filling.
Guan Li: "We're going to wait two hours. ”
System: "Yes. ”
Guan Li: "Idle is idle anyway, why don't you go and update the database first?"
System: "......" is still remembered!
Well, well, sooner or later, it will have to be updated, treat the administrators in advance.
It's not been a long time since the last update, but with the rapid pace of SCP Foundation's development, there must be a lot of new content coming out.
Most importantly, the results of the SCP-4000 race should already be in.
How will it change the SCP series?
Could this be the beginning of another era?
Guan Li is waiting.
The system temporarily disconnects him when it comes back to update its own database, so he can only wait.
And imagine.
- History.
The theme of the 4000 competition is "History".
Authors will use their imagination to the fullest to interpret fictional history.
It may be an alternate history that takes place in another world, or it may be a recreation based on historical events on the level of reality...... Wait a minute!
Another world, fictional history, re-creation.
The mind froze at the moment of inspiration, and slowly thawed with cold sweat.
Yes, this is it!
Guan Li suddenly thought of a loophole.
He has always been careless in ignoring the loopholes of the past.
Almost...... It's really slipped.
The historical themes in SCP Foundation didn't start at 4000.
Prior to this, there were many projects that wrote about real-life historical events and even used them as the subject of ideas.
The significance of some works lies in this fantastical interpretation of "real history", and the idea of some works is based on the general perception of "real things".
For example, SCP-1981-"Slit Reagan", the project itself is a videotape of a speech by Ronald Reagan, who was elected President of the United States in 1981, in 1983.
When the tape was first played, everything was normal, a normal and realistic speech.
As the replay increased, Reagan's speech grew more and more frantic, and he began to speak incoherently about torture, child molestation, and ritual sacrifices.
At the same time, he will also have a variety of wounds of unknown origin.
Although the injuries were enough to make an ordinary person incapacitated, Reagan would continue to speak until his vocal cords were severed or the tape was played at 22:34.
Eventually, his body will be shredded, and after the crowd's burst of cheers and applause, the empty speech is silent for a long time, and a man wearing a black robe and a pointed turban appears in the center of the screen.
The tape flashed a single frame with the words "ISEEYOU" in red caption.
This image lasts for 7 seconds, then turns into static snowflakes.
The brilliance of 1981 was the content of Reagan's speech in the videotape, and those crazy sentences were described as "as beautiful as poetry."
- "I am from the kingdom of heaven, what is there? A false smile curses the whole kingdom. ”
The anomalous politician spat out black, powerful words, like a gaze projected from the bottom of the abyss.
Without a doubt, this is a creepy and wonderful document, a fantasy story.
But its fantasy is based on "reality Reagan".
Because there is indeed a president "Reagan" in reality, and he did make a speech at that time, and this speech must have a video tape preserved.
That's why 1981 presents a strange atmosphere that is both real and illusory, so vivid.
So now the question arises.
The "reality" described in 1981 is the world of his past life.
Is there a US president named "Ronald Reagan" in this world?
If there is no basis in reality, will 1981 still show its original appeal?
Further, could this be the case with other SCP objects that involve depictions of reality?
Or...... What will they reveal?
