Chapter 7: Shredded?
Wang Jin's eyes suddenly froze, and he saw a round pig that ran away in terror among the fleeing animals in the background, according to the picture of memory, it was almost exactly the same as the pink pig virtual character of Arita Chunxue in the virtual school park.
It has a flat nose, large ears hanging down from both sides of the face, a ball-like body, plump and elastic limbs, and black hoof-like hands and feet.
Except that it is not painted, it is almost the same.
Standing in front of the unfinished manga protagonist character drawing, recalling the memories and past of Masakazu Nakano in his mind, he was silent for a while.
This black trench coat, the protagonist with a sword in his left hand, is the character and desire of Nakano Masakazu in his heart, he longs to be such a person, but he wants to hold the sword and slash the cruel and cold reality, holding the sword in his hand, condensing the power of the wind, turning into a blade, a blade, and cutting off the terrible monsters or something that are projected from reality.
He wants to rebel, he wants to fight, even handsome rebellion, struggle.
He despises, despises, and resists all his classmates, among which he hates the most is Arita Haruki, in the background of blurred unfilled details and colors, this pig painting is the most realistic, just behind the position under the protagonist's sword, turning his head to look at this place in horror, but still running away. After all, he's just a pig.
Of course, these are conjectures, just conjectures, but it can also be seen how Nakano Masakazu's inner world is.
Stroking the unfinished comic design draft, Wang Jin opened his mouth and muttered to himself:
"Nakano, you didn't finish it after all...... That's why you died, and let my soul pierce your body. ”
Wang Jin stretched out his hand, picked up the unfinished sketch, and wanted to shred it hard, but after thinking about it, he shook his head.
"This is the last trace of what you left in this world...... If you want to resent the stupid pig of Arita Haruki, this is your biggest obsession. ”
"I want to shred it, like tearing your obsession apart."
His fingers pinched the drawing, trying to shred it with a slight force.
In the year 2046, cartoonists have already entered the information age, and the pen tablet tools used by cartoonists have been upgraded for many generations, and almost ninety percent of cartoonists are no longer using paper to draw.
Nakano wants to become a manga artist, and his account is still regulated by the government, so he doesn't have extra money to buy electronic devices for manga artists, so he saved money and bought the creative methods of the older generation of manga artists, using paper, pens, rulers, etc., which seem to be extremely traditional and old-fashioned ways in the 2046 era.
Wang Jin didn't know how long it took Nakano to paint this design draft, but he also felt the hard work from Nakano, and the thoughts of the young man were condensed in one stroke at a time.
He knew that if he shredded this drawing, he would really tear apart Nakano Masakazu's real obsession, and he would also truly replace Nakano Masakazu and truly integrate into this body, but he didn't do it.
As a traverser, he has two choices at this time, either inherit Nakano's obsession, which can be completely integrated, but it will inevitably be contaminated with some of Nakano's attributes, and this is mostly the case with fantasy and fantasy genre rebirth novels, but Wang Jin wants to maintain his purity.
Either you can tear up Nakano's obsession, and you can also completely integrate it, this is to completely sweep away everything that Nakano once had, and it is also a clean rebirth, but it is obviously a little cruel.
And no matter which choice it is, it means that he is truly reborn in Nakano's body, rather than crossing over.
You can go back when you cross over, but you can't go back when you are reborn.
Wang Jin still wanted to go back, so he didn't tear up the sketch.
So.
After a moment of silence, Wang Jin solemnly put the sketch back, smoothed the wrinkles at the corners, and did not tear it apart after all.
"It reminds me of a familiar picture, or plot, what's it? The obsession of tearing apart or merging into the predecessor is replaced by oneself. ”
"Then I am not crossing over, but being reborn, but the reborn me will no longer be me."
"I'll keep it well, I won't tear it up, I'll just put it away, Nakano, this is the last trace of your struggle, after all."
"To shred it is to shred your last remaining obsession, and it is also to trample on your last remaining obsession."
"Those who trample on other people's obsessions will also trample on their own obsessions in the end."
"I'm not going to do that, Nakano."
"After all, in a way, we are the same kind, just like you and Chunxue, we are also the same kind."
At the same time that Wang Jin returned to Nakano's lonely home, on the other side, Arita Chunxue was walking out of school in a trance, he had experienced too much in the past two days, and his whole person was in a state of confusion.
Has been because of low self-esteem, obesity, incompetence of him was bullied by arabaria and others, was discovered by the childhood friend Xiaoqian who cared about the most, in a panic, he refused Xiaoqian's food, and even knocked over the food, in order to escape his inner incompetence against reality, he could grow to a trace of confidence and happiness in the game in the virtual world of the school, but yesterday, when he entered the virtual world, he found that he had worked hard to achieve the game achievements, easily surpassed by others, at that moment, he almost collapsed, Even what little confidence and achievement he had in the virtual game was defeated, and he fell into the deepest darkness.
But in the next moment, Kuroyukihime, who was so bright that he didn't even dare to get closer, appeared and stretched out an angelic hand to him.
"I want to move forward...... Accelerate? Juvenile? ”
"If you want to come, tomorrow, come to the lunch break lounge."
That Black Snow Hime, I asked him to meet him at a local social café that only senior students can go.
He went, in a way that made outsiders feel ambiguous and unabashed, and connected with his nerves in a straight line, you know, this is usually a way that only couples or relatives have...... And what's even more powerful is still to come, she passed on a peculiar program to him - Brain Burst 2039!
It's a program that is enough to change fate, through this BB program, with the help of Kuroyukihime, he successfully launched the BB program, and entered a wonderful world, a world that is accelerated by the BB program', combined with the images taken by the real camera, and then accelerated by 1000 times through the neural connection device, a world that only overclocked connectors can enter.
In this world, because the mind is accelerated by 1,000 times, 1,000 seconds have passed here, but the reality has only passed 1 second! And a maximum acceleration can only be accelerated for 1.8 seconds, which is half an hour in this virtual world.
In the case of speeding up by 1000 times, everything that happens in reality is equivalent to static, and anything that is about to happen can be given enough time to think about it.
It was also under the deliberate intention of Kuroyukihime that he provoked Arakuya, who came to find trouble, so that Araya was furious, attacked Haruki, and implicated in the injury of Kuroyukihime, so that Araya was arrested and suspended from school.
Thinking back to this, it was strange that Haruyuki was not confused, and on the way back, he recalled Kuroyukihime's warning.
"Before coming to school tomorrow, you must not turn on the neural connection device, let alone connect to the WAN network, not even for a second, absolutely, absolutely not."
Chunxue recalled this warning, but obviously didn't take it to heart, because he met Xiaoqian on the way back, and Chunxue, who was a little shameless to see her, suddenly his heart was confused, making him recall what happened yesterday.
"Little ......"
Walking under the afterglow of the sunset, the spring snow and Xiaoqian are as usual, as if yesterday's events have passed.
