[Rebirth] King of Theater

A shudder ran through Dolly's body—why didn't I actually kill someone?

She raised her head and looked at Al's green eyes with horror, as if she really saw the appearance of Vincent in the story.

Al put on a straight face for a while, but still burst out laughing.

He put away the gloomy expression on his face that was deliberately used to scare people, and grinned again, showing a bright smile: "Don't be afraid, my dear, it's just a joke in the story."

Dolly breathed a sigh of relief.

She shot him angrily: "Damn it, Al! Isn't that damn Vincent based on yourself? What's the fun in writing yourself in such a scary way!"

Randy smiled at this time too.

He seemed to find this scene very amusing, and it was rare for him to take the initiative to intervene and tease: "Isn't your current performance exactly where the fun lies?"

"Ah, Randy, damn you!" Dolly murmured.

On the other end, Al coughed: "Quiet, quiet, let's move on..."

Although Vincent later went to cover up the truth that "he did not kill" in an extremely absurd way.

But slowly, some people gradually felt strange: "Did he really kill someone?" "I don't think it looks like it."

Just a few casual words rekindled the deep-seated fear in Vincent's heart.

Although from the reader's point of view, the whole school is still very magically convinced that 'Vincent killed someone'.

But Vincent himself felt guilty instead.

He was terrified, terrified of being discovered by others...

I used to be bullied every day, although it was painful, but I never had the idea of ​​resistance;

But after enjoying the privileges for a while and dominating the school, he couldn't bear the old life anymore.

to this end,

He was worried about Zhongzhong, frowning all day long, with a gloomy expression, as if he was hiding countless terrible secrets in his heart.

As a result, the students in the school were even more afraid.

Fearing that they would anger this terrifying demon king who was said to have killed people, they treated him even more obediently and submissively, posing as if they wished they could kneel and lick him every day.

The description of the posture of the students here is quite grotesque and exaggerated, and it is obvious that it is false.

But even if they knew it was false, after listening to it all the way, and comparing it to their previous bullying of Vincent, the sense of absurdity made people gasp, feeling that it was indescribably terrifying.

At this moment, Dolly had already hugged herself tightly, and just listened to it as a horror story.

Randy has always been courageous and not very afraid, and there is even a hint of a smile in his eyes looking at Al.

Al continued to tell the story unhurriedly.

At this time, Vincent inevitably had a fierce psychological struggle.

On this page of the magazine, the editor-in-chief deliberately printed this psychological struggle in italics and red, so as to describe the innocent, cruel, and messy thinking mode of the protagonist in the novel, which is like a mental patient's dreaming:

[I can't be found out that I haven't killed anyone!How could I not have killed someone? ]

[Why didn't I actually kill someone?If only I had killed someone! ]

[You don’t have to worry about killing someone, you don’t have to worry about it anymore...]

[Ah, I really want to kill someone! ]

[I must kill someone! ]

[Must kill! ]

[Must kill! ]

[Must kill! ]

Three lines of bold and red letters in a row, full of murderous intent!

So, at the end of the novel...

As expected, Vincent killed a student who had bullied him, and chopped off a real head with a knife.

The moment when the principal, teachers, and students broke in with the belated police...

He held the blood clotted head in his hand, turned around, the dark clouds on his face had completely dissipated, and he showed a very relaxed and relieved smile to everyone, motioning everyone to look at the head in his hand, Proudly displaying: [Look, I don't have to be afraid at last. ]

The reading is over.

No one spoke for a while.

"I will never bully anyone again."

Dolly said softly: "Actually, that day, I really didn't want to do anything, just scare you..."

There was a sudden 'crack'!

Originally in a quiet atmosphere, the little girl who was silently introspecting was so frightened that she almost jumped up, her heart was about to stop suddenly!

But when she pressed her chest and turned her head, she found...it was Randy who deliberately slapped the table next to her to scare herself. She immediately raised her eyebrows angrily, and cursed: "Damn you! How could I have done that?" Blind to see you as a villain. You are such a goddamn narrow-minded ghost, you deserve to be struck by lightning when you go out!"

Randy didn't care about it.

He smiled smugly, and winked at Al, as if to say "Look, I've got you out again," without the slightest compunction about scaring the little girl.

Al tried his best to hold back his laughter, but he felt that he didn't have the right to speak out against the other party. After all, he had just been on a whim and intentionally scaring people.

However, considering that the little girl had been scared enough today (it was not intentional), it would seem too petty and calculating if the disturbance continued, and Dolly knew she was wrong, so she hurriedly smoothed things over and said, "Okay, okay Lah, stop playing! Let's talk about novels! After listening to it, do you have any comments for me?"

Dolly immediately raised her hand as if answering a question in class.

After Al saw it, she rushed to complain: "It's a bit scary! Besides, you said before that it was because of me that I had the inspiration, but why didn't I see a character like me in the article? The bullying article All of Sente's characters are men, but there is no woman. Which one is me? I don't even have a similar feature! If you write like this, even if I go out with a magazine and show off to others, no one will believe it ah."

Al: ...

——Do you still want to show off to others with a magazine?

——Written in a novel and become a villain, what's there to show off!

When writing novels, take into account the problem of drawing materials from reality.

In order to avoid disturbing people, Al deliberately changed the story beyond recognition, trying to make it unrecognizable by anyone.

But never imagined...

In the world, there is still such a wonderful thing as Dolly, who "single-mindedly wants to find a character that represents herself, even if the character is a villain"!

Fortunately, compared with Dolly's unreliable words and deeds.

Randy is relatively normal.

He praised Al and praised him, sending all kinds of praises, and he was full of praise for this novel.

In the end, he seriously asked a question: "Al, at the end of the novel, when Vincent's murder was broken, and he smiled and said to everyone [Look, I finally don't have to be afraid anymore], what was he afraid of?" What is it?"

——Afraid that the lie of 'not killing people' would be exposed?

——Afraid that the past that was bullied would happen again?

——Or are you afraid of becoming... the old self who didn't even dare to resist?

Al laughed and gave Randy a hearty thumbs up.

But he had no intention of answering.

"Who knows."

He blinked his green eyes mischievously, spread his hands irresponsibly, and said briskly, "Anyway, the story is over."

The author has something to say:
