Chapter 6: The Breakdown of Friendship
"Hmm" Van Helsing nodded slightly: "Judging from the letters, your brother seems to like writing supernatural novels very much, otherwise, he would not have gone out of his way to investigate the murders of the past and present, as well as the terrifying legends that exist in Gumu Village, which shows that he is not an ordinary love for supernatural novels."

After listening, Liu Heng smiled bitterly and said, "Love? ā
"Isn't it?" Van Helsing was slightly stunned.
Liu Heng sighed: "If he really loves novels, so many things won't happen!" And it won't make our friendship go away! ā
Robin, who was on the side, was also quite curious and asked, "What happened at the beginning?" ā
"Here's the thing......" Liu Heng began to fall into his memories.
Turn back the clock and take us back four years.
The blue sky, the clear sky, and the brilliant sunshine, like hope, ignited the fiery hearts of the group of teenagers under the sky.
This is the first time that a supernatural novel contest has been held in Furuki Village.
More than 100 teenagers participated.
From a distance, the dense crowd is crowded, up and down like waves.
Around the award booth, like a vegetable market, it was very lively, and the teenagers around were all excited and excited, as if the next guest who won the award was himself.
"Hey, brother, do you think my supernatural article will win an award, or will yours?" The young Liu Heng asked his brother with a smile.
In order to participate in this competition, he has been preparing for three months, and he is very confident that he will win a place.
Liu Yuan pretended to think, touched his head, and said with a smile: "Who knows this, but my brother, your level has always been higher than mine, it should be you!" ā
After Liu Heng was appreciated, he was very happy, and his smiling face showed great confidence.
However, he didn't notice that a complicated look flashed in Liu Yuan's eyes, and between the corners of his mouth, there was a hint of a wicked smile.
Time passed little by little, and the number of awards gradually decreased, and Liu Heng was vaguely uneasy in his heart.
"Brother, are all our articles unsuccessful?" Liu Heng frowned slightly, and asked uneasily.
Liu Yuan didn't answer, but there was also a trace of uneasiness hidden in his strange look.
"Congratulations to our last award-winning guest, Liu Yuan, whose works are concisely written, novel in theme, and thrilling in the plot like a roller coaster, which deeply touched all our editors present, so he will be the last of our award-winning guests!"
An obese uncle, with a shiny face, shouted happily: "Please Liu Yuan come to the stage to accept the award!" ā
There was a burst of cheers and warm applause from the audience, like thunder, which stimulated Liu Heng's young heart.
When he heard that the winner was his brother, Liu Heng felt an indescribable taste in his heart.
Looking at Liu Yuanna's back as he walked onto the podium, Liu Heng felt a sense of loss in his heart, lowered his head as if he had low self-esteem, and muttered, "What...... How is that possible? My work has always been better than my brother's! ā
His fists clenched slightly, and he turned his head unwillingly, as if he didn't want to see all this!
After the game.
Liu Heng pursed his mouth, barely squeezed out a smile, and said with a wry smile: "Congratulations brother!" I didn't expect my brother to play so well this time! ā
As he said this, he felt his heart dripping blood.
Liu Yuan waved his hand and said indifferently: "It's nothing, it's a trivial matter, it's just an award!" ā
"Hehe" Liu Heng smiled bitterly, and said in his heart: "It's just an award?" ā
Immediately, Liu Heng lowered his head again in frustration.
When he lowered his head, he suddenly realized that there was something wrong with the name of the work in his brother's hand.
Isn't the name of my brother's work "Ghost Ship"? How......
Liu Henghu was suspicious.
"Wait, brother!" Liu Heng suddenly shouted: "Can you show me your work?" ā
Hearing this, Liu Yuan looked flustered and said nervously: "What's so good, it's just just to write casually, what if the content in it scares you?" ā
Seeing his brother's inexplicable shirk, Liu Heng noticed that something was wrong, and hurriedly pulled the work in Liu Yuan's hand.
When Liu Heng saw a few big characters in the work, he was shocked like a thunderbolt from the sky!
The whole person stood still, as if he had seen a scene that he couldn't believe in this life!
Because, the name of the above work is "Ghost Elevator"
And "Ghost Elevator" is the work I submitted!
Thinking of this, Liu Heng finally understood what was going on!
It turned out that Liu Yuan knew that his works were not as good as his own, so he actually exchanged a tanuki for the prince and exchanged the works of the two with each other.
How could this not shock Liu Heng!
Liu Yuan knew that this matter could not be hidden, and explained: "This ...... Maybe the judges are mistaken, or should I tell them? ā
Liu Yuan's hypocritical explanation seemed so pale and powerless at this time.
Liu Heng roared: "Mistaken? Since you know you're mistaken, why didn't you say it sooner? When you go on stage, why don't you explain it to the judges? ā
"Also, isn't the name next to this "Ghost Elevator" yours? Are you going to say that the judges wrote it for you? ā
"Please don't treat me like a fool!" After roaring, Liu Heng threw the work on Liu Yuan's face and left angrily.
The camera cuts back to the car.
Liu Heng muttered: "Since then, I haven't spoken to my brother again, and it happened that I went to college, and I decided to go away, so I broke off contact with my brother!" ā
After listening to the story, Robin sighed slightly: "In fact, a lot of hatred is the evolution of small things in the past, life is like chess, one wrong step, one wrong step." ā
Liu Heng sighed, clenched his fists slightly, and said, "That's true, I also thought about forgiving him, but I really can't do it!" ā
His fists clenched a little tighter.
"Let it pass, don't dwell on it!" Van Helsing comforted: "What we have to do is to grasp the present, how to catch the murderer who hurt your girlfriend is the real thing!" ā
The green taxi slowly pulled over.
Looking through the car window, there is a European-style villa standing in a huge courtyard.
After paying the price, Van Helsing and a few others got out of the car.
At this time, the black iron gate outside the courtyard was open, and a winding stone path led to the door of the villa.
The green grass around the gravel road is long, and the wildflowers are fragrant, like a paradise on earth, with a touch of natural beauty.
Walking along the gravel road, a smile crossed the corner of Van Helsing's mouth and asked: "Mr. Liu, the environment here is good, and the villa you live in is still a villa, I don't know how many times better than your rented house, can you give up this?" ā
Liu Heng smiled bitterly and replied: "What you don't like, no matter how good it is, it won't be intoxicating!" As said on the Internet, what I like is an apple, even if I am given a cart of bananas, what good can I do? ā
When Van Helsing heard this, his smile became more and more intense.
Liu Heng was able to refute it, indicating that he was not as decadent as he was when they first met.
Overall, it's still a good guide.
