Chapter 2 Li Zhengyang

(For the last volume, I explained that Xu Qi was also invited by Xiao Mo to join the party group, so they were seven people, and she was killed after that.) I blame me for being greedy for saving trouble and not making it clear, so I'll add to it here. )

Looking at the flooded bookstore hall surrounded by the crowd in line, Li Zhengyang, who was sitting at the front, was both surprised and a little worried.

He is happy about his current popularity, as well as his popularity, and he is worried......

"Sister Zhang, I think it's better not to be on time, there are so many book fans, or the signing party will start now."

Sister Zhang is Li Zhengyang's agent, more than Chinese New Year's Eve years old today, Li Zhengyang's fame is not only her own talent and hard work, but also Sister Zhang's assistance from the side also plays a vital role.

"That's Zhengyang, I'll go and discuss with the people in the bookstore, after all, they are the organizers, and we can't make decisions on our own."

"Okay." Li Zhengyang nodded with a smile, and watched Sister Zhang hurriedly run to the side.

He withdrew his gaze and sat back in his seat, and as far as his eye could see, apart from the crowd on the inner and outer three floors, was the stack of books with blood-colored covers.

That's his new book, and his third horror mystery novel to date, called Xenophobia.

Unlike the third person used in his first two books, this book is completely substituted by himself, directly involved in the plot of the novel in the first person, as the author. It can be said that in terms of substitution, it gives readers a great shock.

But then again, the sense of substitution is only a small part of it, after all, the really important part of a book, especially a horror mystery novel, is the plot. The plot of this book can be described as quite bizarre and twisty, telling the thriller story of himself as the protagonist, who strays into five alien planes dominated by curses, and confronts those five completely different curses.

The book was pre-released a month ago. The response from the market has been very good, and many readers have given him high praise for the book, calling it the scariest mystery novel in history.

And they were all very curious about where the idea for the five curses in his book came from, and why he could come up with such a horrible and bloody idea.

He didn't respond positively to these questions from readers, even though thousands of people on his Weibo blog were cramming through them every day.

For a time, Li Zhengyang's name flooded the entire Internet, and even the pages of major magazines.

Now that I think about it, Li Zhengyang still has a feeling of unreality, because before he didn't have this "Xenogeneous Curse", he was just a small author who could barely eat with manuscript money. Although he is also known as a potential writer. The new generation of ghosts is talented or something, but the extremely low manuscript fee and fame are constantly reminding him that his real situation is not as good as some people say.

It wasn't until the advent of this "Xenogeneous Curse" that he met Sister Bole Zhang that he was a blockbuster. Become the darling of newspapers and magazines to be the first to report, become a new generation of new writers of horror mystery novels in the true sense, and a ghost talent in the new era.

But behind this glamorous and glamorous, he encountered a series of strange and terrifying situations. But it's hard to make him completely happy.

He was afraid of the Xenogeneous Curse, and even though he had created it himself, it wasn't a book in his eyes. It's a demon, a demon. In short, it is full of evil and horror.

He created one with his own hands, no! Perhaps a myriad of terrible devils.

Li Zhengyang just remembered something. His palms were already covered with cold sweat. Sister Zhang followed the staff of the bookstore at this time, and more than a dozen reporters came over, and Li Zhengyang's brows couldn't help frowning. It looks like there will be an interview with him next.

"Sister Zhang."

Li Zhengyang called Sister Zhang to his side, and then he said a little unhappily:

"Why didn't I know there was an interview before the signing?"

"I'm sorry, Zhengyang, I know you don't like interviews, that's why I didn't tell you. Because I think the bookstore is also to help you promote and build momentum, you are now on the rise, and you should seize the opportunity to promote and be exposed. Sister Zhang persuaded him bitterly.

Remember that he has come, no matter how unhappy he is, he can't put his face on it and say that he can't pick it up, otherwise the reporters will hype it up again, saying that he has started to play a big name before he is good.

Today's book fans are all random weeds, shouting in support of you all over the place, but once some rumors come out, they will immediately turn around and black you, and those previous supports don't know where to disappear.

"Interview, but you remind them not to ask questions that aren't related to the novel."

Li Zhengyang sighed, although he had a smile on his face, his heart was full of helplessness. After he sat down, the reporters also stood up and began to interview him in a targeted manner:

"It is said that the new book is a story that you have been preparing for many years, so I would like to ask the majority of book lovers, where did you get your inspiration from?"

"In daily life, because art comes from life, works that are detached from life will not have a strong sense of substitution." Li Zhengyang casually replied with an innocuous remark.

"Some book lovers are very curious, on the title page of the book, you use bright red letters to remind the readers, "Don't finish the book, once anything weird happens in the process of reading the book, you must immediately burn the book", why do you make this reminder? Could it be that there is a curse in the book? ”

Although Li Zhengyang had long known that the reporter would ask this question, when he opened his mouth to answer, he was still very frightened in his heart, and he didn't dare to show too much affection, so he had to chuckle and say:

"How many people can explain the things of the world, and if they believe it, they will have it, and if they don't believe it, they will not. But it's better to believe that it's better to believe what you have than what you don't. ”

Li Zhengyang actually wanted to tell the reporter very much that there are not only ghosts in this world, but also a curse that makes people extremely desperate, and it is better to buy this book and burn it, not even to read it.

But he can't say such things, he can't say it, he can't say it, so he can only do it as he is now.

"It is said that when the pre-sale version of this book was released, several readers who read the book either died violently or disappeared, do you know about this?"

Of course, Li Zhengyang knew about this matter, because this was a topic that was noisy a few days ago, but it did not attract much attention, because the vast majority of people thought that this belonged to the hype of his new book.

"I'm sorry, I didn't know about it." Li Zhengyang shook his head with an unnatural expression, and Sister Zhang also saw that Li Zhengyang was a little annoyed at this time, so she hurriedly came out and said:

"I think I'll just talk about the interview, otherwise if I make book lovers wait too long, it's hard to say that it won't cause a riot."

"Then let's ask one last question." A journalist said.

Sister Zhang glanced back at Li Zhengyang, and after seeing Li Zhengyang nodding, the reporter asked:

"Many people outside have circulated that the style of your book is completely different from the previous two books, and they suspect that you are ghostwritten, is this the truth of the matter?"

"I don't think there is any need to explain this matter, the benevolent will see the wise." Li Zhengyang was completely unhappy when asked.

"Okay, let's all disperse first." Sister Zhang waved the reporters away, and then walked over and whispered a few words of comfort to Li Zhengyang, and then asked the staff of the bookstore to let them go, and the signing officially began. (To be continued......)
