Chapter 37: Leave a Little Thought
After reading Lycia's story, He Xi thought there was a problem. www.biquge.info As we all know, art comes from life, but it is higher than life. But the fact is that in today's society, in fact, and even in the long history of the past, the storytelling of art is often not higher than life.
I believe that every friend with rich life experience has a deep understanding of this, and the plots that TV series, novels, and movies dare not make such nonsense are everywhere around them. Why is there such a contrast in feelings? Because life is full of explosive and dramatic accidents and coincidences, and art does not. The artwork pays attention to the characters, details, clues, and plots, and even every dialogue and every action has its meaning (irrigation works are counted separately), but the reality will not, in real life, most of the strange plots pay attention to a meaningless at all. Once there are highly controversial accidents and coincidences in the artwork, they will either be thrown into the pit by the audience with the label of "God unfolding" and sprayed into the pit of decent, or they will be lifted to the altar by the audience with the label of "God unfolding" and sing praises of virtue.
Return to the fantasy theater of "Memories of Lycia". He Xi's feeling after reading it is that Lycia deserves sympathy, she is very unfortunate, although the memories of He Xi's experience are fragments, but Lycia's image is getting fuller and fuller, and her performance in despair but yearning for happiness has left an indelible trace in He Xi's heart. Twilight Legend spent so much effort to do a quest to open the door of the dungeon through her, a positive character, which tortured her to the extreme, and even pulled her into the dungeon as the bottom boss, and finally forced her to sacrifice her life to protect everyone. This is not tragic enough, in the end, a fantasy prop was designed to let players see how miserable she was in the past, so repeatedly reinforcing the players' perception of Lycia, is it just to make the players feel uncomfortable?
He Xi is not averse to tragedy, tragedy is powerful, and shocking, it is a kind of catharsis and power expression, but too many works today abuse tragedy, tragedy for tragedy's sake, and forced tragedy. THE OFFICIAL WORK OF FEEDING, HE XI HAS NATURALLY SEEN AND PLAYED IT, UP TO "ALDNOAH. "ZERO" is highly toxic at the end of the audience, and when it comes to "Pokémon" losing the finals again, it causes global outrage, and he can be regarded as experienced in a hundred battles, and he has never eaten any piece of in ACG. But even so, He Xi still believes in love, no, he believes in the legend of twilight, because the legend of twilight pursues rationality.
A reasonable work is all about hate for a reason, and love for a reason.
An unreasonable work, if you are not careful, will be full of sadness and flow into a river, so that the reader is caught off guard and can only wipe away tears and commit suicide.
Plausible: I see.
What is unreasonable: it, how can TM do this?
The classic is: it, how can TM do this? Oh, I see...
After watching the fantasy theater "Memories of Lycia", He Xi experienced the transformation from ", TM how is this?" The process of "oh, so that's it...". But He Xi's mental journey is based on the premise that Licia is not dead, if she dies, she is feeding, and if she is not dead, she is washing + feeding sugar. Originally, there was no emotional foundation, but now that everyone is dead, wouldn't it be an official hooligan to force everyone to recall and cultivate feelings to wipe her tears for her?
Therefore, He Xi's conclusion is: Licia must still be saved! Thinking about the origin and cause and effect, He Xi decided to go to the Knights and communicate with Captain Hailuman about the matter.
On the fifth floor of the Knights, in the captain's office, He Xi wanted to meet Captain Hai Luman, but was stopped by the guards and told the captain that there was something important to deal with now, and no one was allowed to enter. Is the reputation bonus of [Herald] not good? He Xi thought for a moment, changed his title to [Underground Waterway Defender] and talked to the guards again, and the guards actually respectfully made way for him.
As soon as he entered the door, He Xi still saw the scene of Pande and Hai Luman standing together. Pande was whispering something to Hai Luman, and the head of the regiment frowned and listened silently. Noticing He Xi's visit, he raised his hand to signal Pande to pause, squeezing a smile from the corner of his mouth.
"There is little skill in breaking evil spirits, you are here." He said.
There is no option for He Xi to customize the dialogue here, he can only say "I'm coming." And, "How's Alekus?" to select the latter.
"It's a pity that our mutual friend, Yalekuth, is still not awake." Captain Hailuman sighed, "The authoritative doctor who cares for the colonel has come to diagnose him, and he speculates that Yalegus may have accidentally infected a small amount of SCP-020 during Lycia's battle, which has caused him to be unable to regain consciousness to this day. ”
"Is there anything I can do to help?"
"Pray, there is little power to break the evil spirit, this is the only thing we can do." Hai Luman wanted to speak and stopped, hesitated for a moment and finally comforted.
"Commander, you haven't laid out the arrangements for the next week's change of guard." Pande jumped out of the mouth at an extremely inopportune moment.
"Oh yes, okay. There is little work to break the evil spirit, and Pande and I have to continue to discuss the internal affairs of the Knights, do you have anything else? ”
me, drive me away?? Wait, there's a custom dialogue option! Think about it...
"Yes, Captain Hailuman, I suspect that Lycia is not dead, and we must find her body immediately to prevent her from getting out of control again after her resurrection."
Pan De and Hai Luman were stunned, they didn't speak, just stared at He Xi with strange eyes.
Damn, why did you pop up a custom dialog box again, I have to say one more thing? Think about it... That's right!
"Lycia was fed some kind of pill developed in her tissue, which would make her life immortal and she couldn't die, so I suspect that at that time in the underground waters, Lycia was only seriously injured and unconscious, and not really died!"
He Xi recalled that in the fantasy theater, every time he mentioned the pill, the other party would always use the adjective "I can't die if I want to", although it is generally understood as "that", but on the contrary, He Xi feels that it can also be forcibly understood as "this", anyway, if you want to make up a reason to say that she is not dead, this reason is very appropriate!
"It turned out to be a pill," Pande muttered to himself, and then was glared at by Hai Luman, who lowered his head in a knowing way.
Hai Luman was silent, and after his cheeks twitched several times without speaking, his angular and cold face finally melted into frost, and he turned to face He Xi, as if he had made up his mind.
"I really shouldn't hide it. That's right, Licia is not dead, she is still alive. I understand your feelings, Lycia is the key to saving Arecus, but... The situation is complicated at the moment and I can't reveal more to you. When you're stronger, come back to me. ”
Bite~! System Prompt: You are currently unable to accept the mission [Licia's Current Situation] entrusted by Captain Hailu Man.
it! Why can't you pick it up?!
The scene was very awkward at one point.
He Xi remembered that when he was in the cultivation ground of the beginner, the same prompt appeared. At that time, he used his superb "play dead" technique to kill the elite Polly and obtained the quest item "Char's Horn Headgear", but was finally reminded that he could not accept the mission [Char's Sister] entrusted by the instructor Kalmar.
Is it a hierarchy issue? Or is it a matter of prestige? It can't be a character problem, right?
He Xi was in a complicated mood, on the one hand, he was excited that his judgment was correct and there was indeed a follow-up task, and on the other hand, he was hurt because he had a task but couldn't receive it. Look at the clock, it's more than ten o'clock in the evening, should I form another team to upgrade the underground sewer dungeon, or find a field leveling point to farm monsters? Is there enough medicine in the backpack? Open it up and see...
Hey? Treasure Chest of Honor? How did this come about?
He Xi looked at the honor treasure chest in the corner of the second row of his backpack, and he didn't relax for a long time. Thinking about it carefully, it seems that in the early hours of this morning, the honor chest reward was indeed mentioned, but at that time I was so tired that I completely forgot about its existence, and now I rediscovered it, but there was an unexpected surprise of reunion after a long absence.
Bite! System Hint: You have opened the Treasure Chest of Honor and obtained the "Sunglasses" equip.
Sunglasses: Armor, Headgear (Medium), Defense 0, 1 hole (slot), Weight 10, Required Level None, Required Class Unlimited. (Bind after equipping)
Function description: Black glasses can be used to block the sun or as a fashionable decoration. +5% Dark Resistance.
!!!!! Dongmo !!
He Xi instantly changed from being depressed because he couldn't receive the task ten seconds ago to cheering at this moment, Dongmo, he didn't expect to open the box and open this piece of equipment that he had dreamed of. In Wonderland and Twilight Tales, the headdress is divided into three parts: upper, middle, and lower, and the equipment of the headdress (bottom) has no slots, while the headdress (top) has a large part of the slot of 1 hole, and the headdress (middle) is very special, only a few pieces of equipment that are extremely rare and extremely difficult to get into have slots, and Dongmo is one of them.
The value of the cave ink lies in the precious slot, 1 more hole can insert 1 more monster card, and the ability to overwhelm other players in the overall combat power improvement and earn an advantage. He Xi recalled the fear of being dominated by the sky-high price of cave ink hung out by profiteers, and he couldn't help but sigh.
On the issue of making the best use of things, He Xi's attitude towards Dongmo is completely different from his attitude towards the "strongest insect chrysalis card": although the effect of the "strongest insect chrysalis card" is against the sky, and it is an absolute graduation card (armor) before He Xi's second turn, but since He Xi got it, it has been lying quietly in his backpack, He Xi doesn't want to find a random piece of garbage clothes to equip this card, he is still enduring it. Now that he got Dongmo, He Xi had more room to play in terms of equipment, he pondered for a moment, and decided to equip Dongmo immediately, and buy a practical monster card to cooperate with it.
At present, there are not many monster cards in the headwear category, and particularly excellent immunity or enhanced cards are extremely powerful monster drops, and He Xi estimates that there will be no output until the whole people reach the second turn. He Xi couldn't wait for it to get dark, the fireworks wouldn't be too perfect, he just seized the day, he took a fancy to the tree spirit card.
Treant Card: MSP+30, can only be inserted in headgear slots. Notes: Dryants are so intelligent that they have even learned to make fires.
