Plane Small Bookstore [System]

The cicadas are screaming outside the window, and the sunlight penetrates the glass, casting mottled light spots on Xin Yuen's canvas.

Le Jing closed the book with a weird smile on his face.Originally, he just asked Le Ling to pay attention to the movement of Zhongmengfu out of caution, but he did not expect to have this unexpected joy.

Sang Qing was lying on the sofa, stroking the black cat on his chest repeatedly.Now there are only her, Le Jing, and the foreign clerk who is as quiet as air in the bookstore.

Xin Yuen went out to play with her friends.And Lu Miaomiao catches up on sleep at home - the continuous interviews and social gatherings during this time have made her exhausted.That's why Le Jing, a self-recommended manager, has free time to sit here and read books.

Sang Qing glanced at Le Jing.The corner of the young man's lips curled up, and he smiled inscrutablely, which made people's back feel inexplicably cold when they saw it.

She sat up, squinted her eyes, and subconsciously asked, "What bad idea are you thinking?"

The young man raised his eyebrows, looking a little surprised: "...I'm starting to wonder what image I have in your mind."

Sang Qing answered in his heart, he is a mysterious and dangerous man.Of course she wouldn't be so stupid to say it, she just shrugged and changed the subject: "Which do you think is better, my book or Lu Miaomiao's?"

Le Jing's breath stagnates, what kind of Shura field problem is this.

In a daze, he suddenly remembered the ancient prose he had memorized when he was a student: Zou Ji was more than eight feet tall, but his appearance was beautiful.Dressed in court clothes and looking into the mirror, he called his wife and said, "Who am I and Xu Gongmei in the north of the city?"

Franz Kafka, or George Orwell, that's the real question.Only children make choices, of course adults want them all!

"As the saying goes: literature is the first, martial arts is the second." Le Jing looked at Sang Qing sincerely: "In my opinion, each of your articles has its own merits, and they are all books that can be handed down from generation to generation. There is no distinction between superior and inferior. "

Sang Qing struggled for a moment, then asked tentatively, "Then do you think if my book is published, I can win the Pearl Award like Lu Miaomiao?"

The young man suddenly laughed, and his clear black eyes smiled happily: "I said, do you have any misunderstanding about your own level?"

Sang Qing's expression became gloomy, and she asked forcefully, "Do you think I can't win the Pearl Award?"

"Of course not!" The young man looked at him in surprise, with a serious expression she had never seen before: "The Pearl Award will not be your goal, but the Muse Literature Award."

In ancient Greek mythology, Muse is the general name of the nine ancient goddesses of literature and art who are in charge of art and science, and the Muse Literary Award named after Muse is the highest literary award in the world, which is equivalent to the Nobel Prize for Literature on Earth. .

Sang Qing was stunned.

Every writer has unrealistic dreams about the Muse Literary Award, even Sang Qing, who never thought of himself as a writer, had such fantasies when he dreamed back at midnight.But when this fantasy was admitted so fiercely, she became timid instead.

Of course Le Jing also understood.

"Time will bury all mediocrity, make diamonds eternal and shining, make nameless people immortal, and make mediocre people mediocre."

In the end, he told the confused and frightened woman in front of him.

There was a long silence in the bookstore.

After thinking for a long time, Sang Qing finally made up her mind to look at Le Jing, with a bright flame of desperation burning in her eyes: "Please be my agent." She said: "I entrust all my works to you. "

"I want to be famous. I want to be on TV so that everybody in the country can see my face on TV."

...Only in this way can she prove that she is right like that man.

"You will get what you want." There was a determined and mysterious smile on the young man's face, and his deep eyes seemed to be spinning with a magical vortex: "Because you are the one who has been kissed by God."

"The whole world will make way for you."

When Zhuokang returned home, the sky was already full of stars.As a senior office worker, working overtime is already the norm.

Even though he was very tired, he couldn't help but open "Animal Farm", and continued reading where he had read last time.As for "1984", this book left him with too deep a psychological shadow, and he didn't want to read it for a short time.

He has not read traditional books for a long time.After all, dream novels can not only provide readers with a wonderful visual experience, but also allow readers to empathize with the author, so as to better understand the author's writing intention.For a busy office worker like Zhuo Kang, reading dream novels is a simple and easy pastime.

But "Animal Farm" is different.

It was the opposite type of book from what he was used to reading.But he still bought it.Not only because "Animal Farm" has not yet released a dream version, but also because all the reading bloggers he follows on Weibo are strongly recommending this book.Not to mention the litany of praise for "Animal Farm" in the newspapers.He couldn't help being curious about it.So even though he hasn't read a paper book for a long time, he still bought a copy of "Animal Farm" at the bookstore after get off work, and by the way, he also took the author's other book "1984" (this one has a dream version) into his pocket.

So during the busy work break, he entered the dreamland of "1984" with the idea of ​​killing time.

…and then he had nightmares for several nights in a row.

In the dream, he was running in a dark tunnel, surrounded by countless pairs of large and small cold and evil eyes.

Countless voices sounded from all directions, either low, high pitched, clear, hoarse, male or female, old or young, they said in unison——

"Big Brother is watching you."

I don't know how many times he sat up from the bed sweating profusely, as if he just crawled out of the water.He has also seen horror movies, but none of them can bring him such fear as "1984".

The sense of horror brought to him by the two is not at the same level.

The former promotes a large amount of his adrenal hormones, while the latter brings him long-lasting despair like a frog boiled in warm water. Little by little, "1984" quietly sucked away the heat from his whole body, and the sense of security and satisfaction in his mind, making him suspicious, frightened, hysterical, Depressed, quiet and desperate, collapsed.

Compared with "1984", the traditional book "Animal Farm" that can't make him fall asleep looks much "mild and harmless".

But it is only in comparison.

The thoughts in this book are also deep, gloomy, and cold.He has no doubt that if "Animal Farm" is also made into a dream novel, it will definitely bring him the same depression and fear.

... He has never had such a deep understanding of human nature, tyranny, and power.

He couldn't help but wonder what kind of person the author Lu Miaomiao was?

What kind of experiences and encounters, and what kind of talent, can make her write such a work in her twenties?

She is even two years younger than him!

What is she like in real life?Does she have any hobbies?What books does she usually like to read?What was the opportunity for her to create these two works?What will be her next work?

Zhuo Kang has too many questions about her.

He had never been so curious about a writer.Of course, he never got the same shock from the books of those authors before him.

But there is very little news about Lu Miaomiao.

The only thing he knew was that she had been an assistant to the dream weaver for many years, and she had been poor and depressed before.Her works have always been dusty and have not been recognized by the public.If it weren't for her agent's insight to find her, "1984" and "Animal Farm" would not be as popular as they are now, and they won the Pearl Award.

Zhuo Kang even heard that these two books have been sent to participate in the selection of Muse Awards at the end of this year!He is very optimistic about this.

It was under such circumstances that Zhuokang watched the talk show that Lu Miaomiao participated in.

Zhuo Kang used to have a lot of guesses about Lu Miaomiao's past.But no speculation could be more unbearable and infuriating than the past that Lu Miaomiao was talking about.

He never thought that there would be such a disgusting and ugly person as Zhong Mengfu in the world!

It can only be said that kindness limits his imagination!

Although Lu Miaomiao didn't come up with evidence, it was just a "one-sided statement", but Zhuo Kang believed her words almost without thinking.

Because talent cannot be deceived and it can never be stolen.

Zhuo Kang has also read "Extraordinary Immortal Journey", which is an excellent popular literature work, with grand ideas, profound content, and overall style that is horrifying and colorful, completely different from Zhong Mengfu's previous works.Because of this book, Zhuo Kang also fell in love with Zhong Mengfu, a writer who had never looked down on him before.

Book fans also have a chain of contempt.Among them, serious literature stands at the top of the chain of contempt, and Internet literature and street stall literature are at the bottom.Of course, a lot of popular literature is also excellent, not inferior to a lot of serious literature.However, the overall quality of popular literature is uneven, and it is not as good as serious literature as a whole.However, Zhong Mengfu's previous works were despised by fans of serious literature and popular literature alike.Because Zhong Mengfu's works are not even considered popular literature, they can only be regarded as shoddy Internet literature.

Although Zhong Mengfu's works have high commercial value because they cater to the market, they are worthless in terms of literary value.

It was under such circumstances that the birth of "Extraordinary Immortal Journey" surprised many people, and even Zhuo Kang couldn't help but look at Zhongmengfu with admiration.

And now the truth finally came out.

It turns out that "A Different Way to the Fairy" was copied by Zhong Mengfu.

Or copied the works of his favorite author!

The most exaggerated thing is that Zhong Mengfu, a sinister and despicable villain, has been committing mental violence against Mr. Lu!

He had never seen such a brazen person!

To call such a man a man is an insult to the word "man"!

She is the maggot in the latrine, the mouse in the gutter!

Sure enough, the online world is also scolding Zhong Mengfu, and Zhong Mengfu has completely become a street rat, everyone shouts and beats him.Zhuokang's Weibo is like a zombie who has been diving in Weibo all the year round, and for the first time, he also posted several Weibos in support of Lu Miaomiao.He has always been very educated and even swears at Zhong Mengfu on Weibo.

What surprised him was that many of Zhong Mengfu's book fans sent him private messages and scolded him angrily. The unsightly, peak-level curse words really opened his eyes.

If the boss hadn't asked him for something at that time, he would have taught these idiots how to speak well.

He has been busy from yesterday to this evening, he is so busy, let alone posting on Weibo, he even has very few chances to touch his mobile phone.

He closed "Animal Farm" and glanced at the time, it was already ten o'clock.Tomorrow is the weekend, he can have a good rest.He habitually posted on Weibo, wanting to know what happened in the world during the day and a half when he was disconnected from the Internet.

Then his homepage was overrun by various news about Lu Miaomiao.

All were reports about Lu Miaomiao's mental illness.One headline is more sensational than the other.

His Weibo private message is already 99+.Clicking on it is full of insults from Zhongmengfu fans.

Half of the top ten Weibo searches are about Lu Miaomiao and Zhong Mengfu.

It took Zhuo Kang a long time to wake up from his stupor.He mechanically posted news one after another, some of which were well-founded, some of which were vague and ignored Zuo Yan, and the people who broke the news were Lu Miaomiao's classmate/teacher/roommate/relative/best friend... Some of them even accepted it. Got an interview!The scorching words confirmed Lu Miaomiao's mental problems to the public.

And Zhong Mengfu, who was notorious and beaten by everyone before, also accepted an interview, and told the public in tears about the double mental and physical abuse she received because of Lu Miaomiao's mental illness.

"Lu Miaomiao suffers from severe persecution paranoia and schizophrenia. She always thinks that someone is watching her and wants to kill her. Sometimes she will fall into inexplicable mania and anger, full of aggression. Once she not only She smashed the studio and stabbed me with a knife..." Zhong Mengfu unbuttoned her sleeve to let the audience see the clear old scar on her arm, "I used to think it was nothing, after all, talented writers like us always It's a bit of a mental problem, like I have depression. But I didn't expect her to say that about me on the show. I know she has a mental illness and she can't control herself, but I can't stand her slandering me like this, I just want to Clear writing..."

In the video, Zhong Mengfu's eyes are red and swollen from crying, and the appearance of pear blossoms with rain is enough to make many people feel sorry for him.Zhuo Kang couldn't help feeling violently shaken.

Could it be... What Zhong Mengfu said is true?

Is Lu Miaomiao really mentally ill?

Everything she said on the show was her imagination?

He searched all over the Internet but couldn't find any response from Lu Miaomiao.Lu Miaomiao remained silent strangely.It's like acquiescing because of a guilty conscience.

Combined with the various revelations he just saw, Zhuo Kang's inner balance could not help but slowly tilted towards Zhong Mengfu.

There is often a fine line between genius and lunatic.

Many geniuses often suffer from serious mental illness.

Originally, he wondered how Lu Miaomiao could write such works as "1984" and "Animal Farm" at such a young age.If it's all because of her severe mental illness then it seems to make sense?

The seamless surveillance felt by the protagonist in "1984", is this the world that Lu Miaomiao felt after suffering from persecution paranoia?

The more he thought about it, the more likely it was, and just when his logic was about to convince him, the reversal was so out of reach.

A big V who was certified as a righteous hacker on Weibo posted a recording, and soon this recording became the number one hot search because of the explosion of clicks, reposts, and comments.

Zhuo Kang clicked on the recording, which is a telephone recording.One of the voices was very familiar to him.

"Thank God, you finally answered the phone! Is what Lu Miaomiao said on the TV true? Did you plagiarize "Extraordinary Immortal Journey"?!"

"Sister Li, whether I plagiarized or not, we are now grasshoppers on the same rope. If I'm done, you don't even want to get away. So helping me is also helping you."

"how do you want to do it?"

"Buy the manuscript. Just say that bitch is mentally ill! After confirming her reputation as a lunatic, let the navy release her black material! What ghostwriting, plagiarism, tax evasion, drug use, unspoken rules, chaotic private life, insulting and beating her mentor, Parental abuse...the more serious and sensational the better!"

"……okay, I get it."

"Also, find some friends on the road and have fun with this great writer."

The owner of this voice, the pear blossom that was still crying in the video just now, makes people feel pity.

"Fuck!" Zhuo Kang cursed loudly: "Fuck!"

In vain he thought he was smart and rational, yet he was fooled like this!If the hacker hadn't exposed this recording, I don't know how long netizens will be deceived by this bitch!Such a coquettish operation of beating up and pouring sewage on the victim really made him more knowledgeable.

And it's obviously not the only one who is as angry as him.

The comments under the recording Weibo also exploded.

Orange Cat: Damn, can you still play like this?I'm afraid, I'm afraid, Zhongmengfu Juju's operation is really powerful.

Zhongmeng Talisman please explode on the spot: Hehehe.If the blogger hadn't released this recording, then Zhong Mengfu Juju would have a one-stop service for black material against my seedlings!What about drug use, unspoken rules, tax evasion... This is a copy of the entertainment industry (shuddering)

Chigualu: I am more curious about who is the other person on the phone?Could it be the capital power behind Zhongmengfu Juju?After buying so many trending searches, press releases, and witnesses, is this going to give her a C debut?

Red scarf: Hee hee hee, Zhong Meng Fu Juju in the entertainment industry doesn't like it.She is the leader of the literary circle, those who follow her will live, and those who go against her will die, so I ask you if you are afraid?

……

After listening to the recording with a pale face, Zhong Mengfu sat down on the ground.

It’s over.

It's all over.

She hugged her knees and burst into tears.

She didn't expect that Lu Miaomiao could steal her phone call!

She finally started to regret it.

She was dazzled by jealousy and greed, delusional about things that didn't belong to her, and tried her best to make a fool of herself.As a result, her reputation was discredited and notorious.

But it's useless for her to regret it.Since then, she has been completely exiled from the writing circle.And investors won't favor a tainted writer like her.

Her life came to an abrupt end.
