i have a museum of curiosities

Hearing what the Gap Girl said, Zhang Ye frowned again.

A character living in a fictional world?

Then why does it appear in this world?
Zhang couldn't help but think of Ling Xiaotao appearing in his dream that night in Xu's compound in the Longevity Realm, telling him that something big was about to happen in this world.Now it seems that her words are gradually being fulfilled.

Seeing that Zhang, who had been calm all this time, frowned, the Gap Girl thought it was because he didn't believe her, so she hurriedly raised the long black dagger in her hand and said, "This is the proof! I am the character in a novel created by Xu Caikun. Although he Borrowed from the legend of the rift girl in Japan, but in order to distinguish and avoid copyright disputes, he deliberately set my weapon as a long black dagger, while the real rift girl uses scissors and a sickle!"

"I see!" Zhang Ye nodded, "Xu Caikun is a writer of novels from the Celestial Dynasty, so it's not surprising that the 'Gap Girl' he wrote can speak the dialect of the Celestial Dynasty..."

Seeing that Zhang Ye seems to have accepted her explanation, the Gap Girl breathed a sigh of relief, and there was a trace of tenderness and pitifulness on her originally terrifying face.

"Then do you have a name?" Zhang Ye asked while touching his clean chin.

"Sachiko." The Gap Girl replied in a low voice.

"Huh?" Zhang Ye couldn't help raising his brows again, and muttered in a low voice: "The slit girl who can speak Chinese dialect has an Dongying name...it's really weird! However, Xingzi...is a good name, at least listening Looks cute..."

The Gap Girl obviously heard Zhang Ye talking to herself, her face blushed inexplicably, and her right hand holding the long dagger was a little embarrassed and didn't know where to put it.

Zhang Ye raised his head and glanced at Sachiko, who looked like a little girl who made a mistake, and slowly curled a smirk at the corner of his mouth.

"The name Xingzi is not worthy of the mighty and domineering 'Gap Girl'." Zhang Ye seemed a little excited, "Shall I give you a new name?"

The slit girl Sachiko was shocked, and then she looked at Zhang Ye in disbelief, with doubt and surprise in her wonderful eyes.

"Let me think about it..." Zhang Ye continued to touch his smooth chin, and muttered to himself: "Gap girl... gap..."

Suddenly, a flash of excitement flashed in Zhang Ye's eyes, "Let's call it... 'Crack'! How about it?"

Cracked Girl: "..."

"Oh, don't be so embarrassing!" Zhang Ye said with a smirk: "Gap Girl! The famous Gap Girl has a name of 'Crack', which is cute and arrogant, with a hint of playfulness and intimacy. It means...or else...'Crack Sauce' is also fine!"

Gap Girl: "..."

Zhang also clapped his hands in satisfaction, and continued to ask, "Little, would you like to follow me?"

"Huh?" The Gap Girl was already a little mad.

"How is my strength?" Zhang Ye asked with his arms crossed.

"...Unfathomable!" The gap girl could only answer truthfully.

"Then you follow me, is there any problem?" Zhang Ye continued to ask.

"Of course..." The Gap Girl just wanted to follow Zhang Ye's words, but she suddenly reacted and immediately changed her words: "...There is a problem!"

"What's the problem?" Zhang Ye asked.

"Just...just..." The Gap Girl paused for a moment, then her face turned pale, and she said, "...I'm just a fictional character in a novel, not a real one..."

"So what?" Zhang Ye asked with a smile.

"What..." The Gap Girl said urgently, "I... I am fictional! Do you understand? Fictional!"

Zhang shrugged his shoulders disapprovingly, and said slowly: "You are an illusory character created by Xu Caikun, but now you don't appear in front of my eyes? Oh...no, you are not a living person, you should not use 'alive'... ...Anyway, you just appeared in reality, so you can't refute that, right?"

The Gap Girl's expression was a little dark, and it took her a long time before she said: "I can appear in this world because of the power of Xu Caikun's novels...Some kind of changes have taken place in his novels, the ghosts that originally appeared in his novels, They are gradually taking shape..."

Hearing this, Zhang Ye finally showed a happy smile on his face.

He wants to "subdue" the girl with the gap, isn't it just for the next action?After all, the appearance of the Gap Girl is directly related to Xu Caikun. Can the missing Xu Caikun be found through the Gap Girl?
And... that's the Gap Girl, the famous and vicious Gap Girl!Being able to turn her into a follower - even if it's a fake - is enough to boast for a year!
But when he thought about what the Gap Girl said just now, that the ghosts and monsters in Xu Caikun's novels were gradually manifesting, Zhang couldn't help but worry about Ling Xiaotao.

"Let's talk as we walk?" Zhang Ye smiled and looked at Sachiko, the girl with a gaping mouth... Oh, I should call her "Cracking" now.

Lian Li took a deep look at Zhang Ye, and slowly put the long black dagger back into her pocket (God knows how she put a 30 cm long dagger back into the windbreaker pocket? Xu Caikun's setting is too rough... Zhang can't help but thinking viciously), then walked to the side and picked up the mask that had been blown off by Zhang Ye's breath, and put it back on carefully.

"You don't need to wear a mask in front of me," Zhang Ye said.

Li Li shook his head lightly, and said, "I know what you want to ask, but I don't know much about Xu Caikun. I came out as a cameo when the novel was about to end."

Zhang also nodded, motioning for Lia to go together, then turned around and walked forward first.

Lian Lie's eyes moved slightly, looking at Zhang Ye's back, a trace of struggle flashed in his wonderful eyes, he hesitated for a while and finally followed.

"Aren't you afraid of me sneaking up on you?" Lia Li couldn't help asking, "I know you're very powerful, but I also have special abilities."

"Oh? Can you tell me?" Zhang Ye asked with a smile.

Li Li snorted lightly, but did not speak.

It seems that I don't want to say acridine!
The corner of Zhang Ye's mouth curled up, and said: "Although the 'Gap Girl' in Dongying Urban Strange Talk is weird and frightening, I think you are different from her."

"Why?" Lia Li was a little unconvinced, "I created it according to her legend, and the name is the same!"

"Because...Xu Caikun changed your weapon on purpose, not to distinguish or avoid copyright disputes." Zhang Ye smiled and said, "An urban ghost story, even the source is unclear, who is going to talk about copyright? Dongying Kingdom? Then we First of all, the copyrights of "Three Kingdoms" and "Journey to the West" must be broken up!"

Cracked his head tilted slightly, and looked at Zhang Ye with some puzzlement, "But...that's what they all told me."

"Who?" Zhang Ye asked back.

"Other strange stories." Li Li replied truthfully.

Zhang also nodded.

"What do you mean...?" Lia Li couldn't help asking, "Xu Caikun... what does it mean that he changed my weapon on purpose?"

"Oh, this...it's actually my guess, it's not accurate. After all, I haven't met Xu Caikun himself." Zhang Ye muttered, "But if you really want to know, I'll tell you my guess .”

"Tell me." Lie Li said.

"Dagger... look at the shape of the dagger." Zhang Ye reminded.

"What's wrong with the shape of the dagger?" Li Lie asked while taking out the 30 cm long black dagger from his pocket, and Zhang Ye's eyelids twitched slightly.

The dagger in Lie Lie's hand looked ordinary—except that it was pitch black and stained with bright red blood.

"First of all... what is the difference between a dagger, scissors, and a sickle? Why would a girl with a scissors or a sickle in Japan now hold a dagger?" Zhang also continued to remind.

"...scissors and sickles are tools." Li Li replied, "daggers... are weapons."

"That's right." Zhang Ye nodded, "In Xu Caikun's mind, does the 'Gap Girl' represent horror and evil? No, it's not! In fact, this is a very simple 'contrast'. Think about it, if you say There is a terrifying ghost here. Is it the green face with fangs and blood splatter that impresses people more, or does it look harmless to humans and animals, even pure and pleasant, but actually kills people without blinking an eye and can awaken people's fear? It should be the latter. Because Words like 'human and animal harmless', 'pure and pleasant' should not be put together with 'kill without blinking an eye'! But they are put together abruptly, so it will make people feel distorted, disgusting, uncomfortable, and even scared .”

"So?" Lie Li asked.

"That's why the girl with the scissors and sickle is even more frightening, especially when the mask is taken off. The original youthful beauty instantly becomes terrifying and disgusting. This is a kind of 'contrast'." Zhang Ye explained with a smile: "But you are different! People will know that you are not easy to mess with at the first sight of you, because people will be vigilant when they see the bloody dagger in your hand, so even if you take off the mask, you are far away. Far from having the frightening effect it should have."

"I think that's why Xu Caikun asked you to wear a dagger - to make you look less scary! At least not the kind of image that deceives others with a pure appearance and then kills you."

Crack was stunned.

After a long time, she slowly opened her mouth and said, "I thought... that replacing common tools with specialized weapons would be even more terrifying, but it turns out... the truth is the opposite..."

"Not only that." Zhang Ye smiled and said, "Have you ever thought that if you just change weapons, you can completely change them to hunting knives, crossbows and other more powerful ones... Anyway, your four-dimensional pocket will definitely fit them ...But, why is it a dagger?"

Li Li looked at Zhang Ye suspiciously.

"Daggers are double-edged like swords." Zhang Ye sighed.

"...Double Blades..." Lie Lie muttered to himself, as if he had figured out something for a moment, but when he thought about it carefully, he seemed to have figured out nothing.

Zhang Ye didn't explain too much, but said in a low voice: "There is also the color of the dagger. It's pitch black... so depressed, so painful, so desperate... I guess, Xu Caikun may have poured his inner emotions into him." Are you in the character you created?"

Crack deeply frowned.

The two walked towards Building 8 one after the other. Suddenly, Zhang also felt a killing intent coming from ahead, and he stopped immediately.

"call--"

A biting cold wind hit, and Zhang Ye frowned.

"It's the 'Shadow Man'." Lie Li reminded: "One of Xu Caikun's weird creations, the body is a human figure."

There was a sudden sound in the air, as piercing as fingernails across a blackboard, it was disgusting.

"Jie Jiejie...Gap girl...Why are you following a human being? And you still revealed my information?"

Three meters in front of Zhang Ye, a dark shadow gradually "stands up" from the ground, and soon becomes as tall as Zhang Ye.

Zhang Ye looked at the opponent's dark figure, particularly conspicuous eyes and dazzling white teeth, and couldn't help blurting out: "Xiao Hei, is that you?!"

"What?" Yingnan froze for a moment, as if he didn't understand why Zhang was also surprised.

"What are you pretending to be?" Zhang Ye said excitedly, "Didn't you just be created by Xu Caikun after the image of the murderer Xiao Hei who has been hiding behind the scenes in "Conan"?!"

"Wow, what you said is really true!" Not only did Li Lie clap his hands in surprise, a gleam of brilliance bloomed in his wonderful eyes.

Yingnan: "..."

"You human being..." The shadow man laughed and said, "I can't tell, you are still a patient with severe secondary illness!"

"Bah, bah, bah! What a severe secondary illness, I have read countless films!" Zhang Ye grinned.

"Reading film? What film?" Yingnan sneered.

"Ah, a fellow!" Zhang couldn't help clapping his hands, with an innocent smile on his face.

"Master... master... can you not kill him?" Lia Li asked quietly behind Zhang Ye.

Owner?

The corners of Zhang Ye's mouth couldn't help but curl up, and his heart seemed to be blooming with joy.

Damn, girl with a gap, the famous girl with a gap taught my master... Tsk tsk, is that going to give her a maid outfit in the future...

"Ahem... Don't worry, I'm not the kind of person who does things indiscriminately." Zhang Ye said.

"Have you talked enough?" Yingnan's piercing voice came again, "If you have talked enough, let me send you on your way!"

"Wait." Zhang Ye quickly stretched out his left hand as a stop gesture.

"Are you scared?" Yingnan sneered.

"No." Zhang Ye shook his head and asked, "Do you know why you have the image of Xiao Hei?"

Yingnan was taken aback for a moment, never expecting Zhang Ye's problem to be this.

"I have a guess, do you want to listen to it?" Zhang Ye folded his arms leisurely.

Yingnan glanced at Li Li who kept gesturing to him, and then slowly said: "Then... tell me."

The corner of Zhang Ye's mouth curled up, and then he said: "In "Conan", Xiao Hei's identity is positioned as a murderer, but he has been hiding behind the scenes, and your name happens to be 'Shadow Man'. Can't you figure it out? "

"I... am a shadow, but whose shadow am I?" Yingnan couldn't help asking.

Zhang also didn't answer Yingnan's question, but turned to look at Lian Li, and asked, "Xu Caikun...have you encountered a lot of unpleasant things recently?"

Li Li thought for a moment, then nodded slowly.

"I think... I know him a little bit."

Zhang couldn't help touching his chin, then turned to look at Yingnan, "Hey, do you want to come with me?"

Yingnan was stunned for a moment, and then asked back, "Are you supporting me?"

Zhang Ye showed embarrassment, and Yingnan sneered disdainfully.

"I'll support you!" Zhang Ye gritted his teeth.

Yingnan was stunned for a moment, then sneered, and said, "Take care of yourself first, idiot!"

Lia Li looked at Zhang Ye, then at the eyeshadow man, and asked uncertainly, "Are you... are you talking about a movie line?"

"Of course!" Zhang Ye chuckled, then lowered his voice and said, "Crack, Yingnan is a severe middle school patient! He can answer any lines... Stay away from him in the future..."

"Hi!" Yingnan shouted.

"Why?" Zhang Ye turned his head with a look of impatience on his face.

"Because you... and I have so many languages ​​in common... I'm with you!" Yingnan said.

"Bah... the second illness in death..." Zhang Ye twitched the corner of his mouth and revealed a smile.
