"What the hell is going on?" Bai Shuang didn't expect that there would be such a thing as plagiarism. If you just don't have a manuscript, it's okay to postpone it, but if you plagiarize, then it's a big problem. There was such an incident a few years ago, a young writer's novel was found to be plagiarized and plagiarized, and the original author filed a lawsuit and sued both the writer and the publishing house in court. There was a lot of uproar, and the writer ended up infamous and discredited.

Bai Shuang would never allow such a thing to happen. The society also issued repeated orders, and if plagiarism was discovered, the author was immediately banned, and the killing was immediately decided, and it was publicized in the entire circle, so basically your bowl of rice will be smashed.

"Don't get so excited." Liu Yang made a gesture and asked him to sit down: "This manuscript is just borrowed from the original idea, and the writing is still written by myself." And the creative source of this story is rather peculiar. ”

"What? From whom did it be copied? Bai Shuang asked with a stiff face.

"From an ancient manuscript." Liu Yang said.

Bai Shuang and Xu Dazhi looked at each other, and Bai Shuang said: "Liu Yang, you mean that the second half of the third part of "The Hades" you wrote was inspired by an ancient manuscript? ”

Xu Dazhi was very interested when he heard this. As a writer, the most rare thing is the creativity of writing, and the things in the world of 5,000 years of human history have been written over and over again. Coming up with a really unique idea is half the battle for a writer.

"Has anyone else seen this manuscript?" Bai Shuang asked.

Liu Yang smiled: "Don't worry, this manuscript was written by the original author before he died, and it was sealed immediately." Until now, there are only two or three people who have seen it and understood it. ”

"'Understood'? I still don't understand, is that manuscript difficult to understand? Bai Shuang asked curiously.

Liu Yang thought for a while and said, "How can I tell you, this manuscript is encrypted. To see what it writes, you have to decrypt the text. ”

Xu Dazhi is a decryption enthusiast in his spare time, and his interest is getting stronger and stronger at this time. Although he didn't like Liu Yang very much, he was completely fascinated by this incident and desperately wanted to know what was going on.

"Liu Yang, can you tell me?" Bai Shuang asked.

"Have you all read my previous manuscript?" Liu Yang suddenly asked.

"Yes."

"In the previous story of "Hades", a character named Li Damin appeared. Remember? ”

Bai Shuang nodded. Li Damin is a popular character in the story of "Hades", this person is not evil or righteous, his experience in the book is very peculiar, he once entered a painting, and later practiced the art of ghost cultivation, all kinds of bizarre. In the end, he was described, as if he had gone to Sichuan, and there was no whereabouts.

"Li Damin's prototype outside the book, also called Li Damin, is a good friend of mine. His own experience is not as unbelievable as it is written in the book, but the characters are almost the same, so there is nothing to do, hehe. The ancient manuscript with encrypted text was first discovered by him. Liu Yang said.

Two years ago, in the summer, Li Damin went to Kyoto, Japan, and went to a thrift store with friends. I want to buy some souvenirs of Kyoto's unique culture to take back to your home country. It was at that shop that Lee Daemin stumbled upon a Noh mask.

Noh opera is a very old opera art in Japan. The mask has a very strange style, with a snow-white face, bright red lips, and no eyebrows, just two strokes at the brow bone. At that time, Li Damin didn't know much about Noh dramas, but he especially liked this weird style that couldn't be explained, so he spent money to buy it.

The thing is out of the plane. After taking a plane back from Japan and getting bored on the way, Li Damin took out his mask and played with it. The mask was so vivid that it looked like a human face living on his hands. The passenger in the adjacent seat frowned. Li Damin is not a nasty person, so he wants to put the mask away, and at this time, he finds that there is something wrong with the structure of the mask.

I don't know what the material of this mask is, but it feels soft and skin-like. The mask is made of two layers of material glued together, and Li Damin found that the edge of the mask was glued. That is to say, the leather surface of the inner and outer layers has cracked and peeled off because of the age.

Li Damin accidentally found that in the middle of the two layers of leather, there seemed to be something sandwiched.

At that time, I didn't have the tools at hand, and it was not easy to operate these things on the plane, so I had to be patient. When he arrived in China, he got down from the airport and returned home as soon as possible. I took the tools and carefully peeled off the two layers of leather, and there was something in the interlayer inside, and a book fell out.

Li Damin flipped through it, and it was a very old handwritten folded book. The surface is red gold, which can be opened and folded at will, and the inside is densely written in Japanese, and I can't understand it. If this thing is left in the hands of other people, it will be a novelty for a while, and it will pass by casually. But Li Damin has a strong desire for knowledge, and he intuitively feels that this manuscript is so secretively preserved, will there be any secrets?

Li Damin found a friend who had returned from studying in Japan and asked him to translate. The friend flipped through it briefly and told him that the person who wrote the manuscript claimed to be Sun Ami. Ami, not her real name, belongs to a stage name suffix commonly used by actors in Noh dramas. This Sun Ami should be an ancient Noh actor, and this manuscript is likely to write some of his realizations when he acted in Noh play.

My friend asked him to put the manuscript here, translate it slowly, and tell him the results when they came out.

A month later, Li Damin received a call from a friend saying that the manuscript had been fully translated. However, the situation was a little weird, and he wasn't sure what was going on.

Li Damin hurried to his house, and his friend gave him the manuscript, along with another thick printout. The printouts are all in Chinese characters, and they are manuscripts translated into Chinese.

Li Damin thanked him and was about to leave. A friend stopped him, saying there was something wrong with the manuscript.

According to his friend, this manuscript is indeed written on the surface of Noh theater, but the writing is fragmented, the logic is messy, the original Japanese version is particularly difficult to read, and the translation into Chinese is even more incomprehensible. When my friend was translating, I felt that this thing had no value in terms of text, except for its long history. But when he saw the last page, he found that the author Sun Ami had said some very strange things.

Sun Ami claimed to be a very famous "crazy" actor in the Kyoto Noh theater circle at that time. Noh opera, like Peking opera, has some character settings that are extremely face-like. Peking Opera is the ugliness of Shengdan and Jingmo, and Noh Opera is the madness of gods and women. Among the five major characters, one category is "madness". What kind of character is madness?,It refers to people who are possessed by gods and demons.。

If you are possessed by a yin ghost, you will be crazy and treacherous, which is called madness.

Crazy, it's hard to play. Because in real life, after all, ghosts are very rare, and it is difficult to grasp the proportions. has acted contrived, and acted lightly, and the feelings can't come out. This degree is very difficult to grasp, so sometimes "crazy" actors really ask for onmyoji in order to play well, and let ghosts possess them to experience that crazy feeling.

Sun Ami said that he once inadvertently channeled when he was performing "crazy".

It was difficult for him to describe that state, especially in the process of channeling, when he experienced many things that were unimaginably terrifying. He believed that these things were very damning because he had been infected by them. Before he died, he wrote down this cursed experience, and in order to prevent it from circulating, he used a very unique way to encrypt the text when writing about this experience.

This kind of encryption method is unbelievable and unbelievable.

Only he knows how to encrypt it, and only he knows how to decrypt it. After writing this manuscript, Sun Ami hanged himself in his house.

Li Damin was puzzled and said, since he was dead, how could he know about this password.

The friend pointed to the last line of the last page of the manuscript and said that Sun Ami had left a last word, and in order to unlock the secret of this text, future generations must have a psychic dialogue with his ghost, and he said the way of decryption.

Hearing this, Xu Dazhi almost jumped up as if he was on fire: "That Li Damin unlocked this password?!" ”

Liu Yang said calmly: "He unraveled." He read Sun Ami's story and showed it to me. To be honest, I originally had my own writing outline and ideas for the writing of "Hades", and I already knew how to write the second half of the third part. But after reading Sun Ami's story, I deleted all the parts that had been written. To put it mildly, compared to Sun Ami's experience, what I wrote is rubbish. After reading it, at that moment I completely believed what Sun Ami said, this story is a curse. Later, my experience has indeed verified all this. ”

Speaking of this, Bai Shuang found that Liu Yang's face was pale, which was no longer nervous, but to the extent of extreme fear.

Liu Yang said word by word: "That's not a story, that's a real nightmare." ”
