Chapter 192 Jealousy
When the system spoke in Jiang Xingni's mind, half of the data actually remained in the three-dimensional world.
It can silently watch the screenwriter through cameras—monitoring, laptops, mobile phones—within the data on the network.
"She came to life." In the real world, the comic book writer who created "Nameless Land" murmured to himself. "She came to life through my writing."
This "coming back to life" is not just a metaphorical "coming back to life".
Some characters become more and more vivid as they are written, as if you can imagine what they would look like when they appear in front of you, and how you would react to the plot she has set up.
This isn't the first time the screenwriter has created comics, nor is it the first time they've created all sorts of characters.
She has portrayed a wide variety of characters and has also written characters with a meta feel.
But those characters—no matter how vivid and lively she felt they were—ultimately she always realized that everything about them was her creation.
When she writes a story, she considers whether it fits the character's setting, whether it can advance the plot, and whether it can please the readers who are reading the story.
She portrayed Xiao Jiming, Pei Zhaoye, Song Juexiao—and so many other characters in the same way.
But everything changed when Jiang Xingni appeared.
She truly lived in the screenwriter's world—she was clearly a character created from the pen, clearly ink from the fingertips—but she had absolutely no way to control Jiang Xingni's behavior and thoughts.
This sense of the bizarre is hard to describe to people; for a moment, the screenwriter even felt like he was going crazy.
How does ink on paper come to life?
How should the characters in the story go against the creator's will?
She had asked anonymously before, and the answer she received was not much different from her previous impression of "the character coming to life".
The comment said that no matter what you do to a character, a two-dimensional character can't actually come to the three-dimensional world and kill you.
At worst, we can just tear the paper to shreds. No matter how powerful the setting is, it can't possibly resist to that extent, right?
People on the forum made this suggestion to the screenwriter in a joking manner.
But she knew, she knew—
No matter how many times she tore up the draft, she could always see Jiang Xingni's eyes.
Those golden eyes, clear and bright, met the screenwriter's black eyes across the screen, across the paper, across the dimensional barrier.
It's as if Jiang Xingni can actually see the screenwriter he created in the real world.
For a fleeting moment, the screenwriter had a sudden realization: was Jiang Xingni watching her every time she deleted a draft, mocking her cowardice and timidity?
No matter how many times she revises, as long as she picks up a pen, starts creating the next story, and Jiang Xingni is present, everything will become out of control.
The screenwriter actually avoided the story many times, but unfortunately, even if she really wanted to end Jiang Xingni's story like this, Jiang Xingni would suddenly pop up or appear in Xiao Jiming's words and thoughts.
Like the sun, everyone couldn't help but rush towards Jiang Xingni's direction.
Just like characters on paper in the world of anime, whose plots and destinies are all written by people in a higher dimension, they cannot resist and instinctively yearn for the only person among them who is not bound by fate.
The screenwriter deleted many drafts and then, as if in revenge, drew all sorts of messy patterns on Jiang Xingni's face.
No matter how much she tries to avoid it, she will eventually upload everything to the official website and let readers see it.
—She couldn't possibly just kill Jiang Xingni like that.
Jiang Xingni's popularity is too high. Although she hired a lot of online trolls to stir up trouble on the forum again and again so that Jiang Xingni could die legitimately and not cause more people to resent her, Jiang Xingni's popularity is still quite high on the popularity list.
To be honest, it's a bit too shameful for a creator to go so far as to stir up trouble in the community in order to kill off one of their own characters.
However, the screenwriter didn't dare to kill Jiang Xingni directly.
Her studio's address can actually be found online. If the screenwriter were to casually kill off Jiang Xingni, there's no doubt they would receive razor blades from Jiang Xingni's fans.
Moreover, the screenwriter was reluctant to abandon Jiang Xingni like that.
That was one of the few truly vivid and lifelike images she created in her entire life.
Whether in the comics or outside of them, almost everyone is inevitably drawn to her.
"If Jiang Xingni were the main character, that would be great," the screenwriter thought. "If she were the main character, maybe I wouldn't be so eager to kill her."
That's why the screenwriter gave Jiang Xingni such a big power-up this time.
She originally thought that Jiang Xingni would go directly into the city, where he could be surrounded and attacked by the citizens, and that she would also be caught in a moral dilemma because the attackers were all innocent civilians.
Once she finally gets into the suburban laboratory, one of the main characters can attack Jiang Xingni and then morally condemn her.
Finally, he used his remaining supernatural abilities to resolve the abnormal phenomena in Boryeong City.
The screenwriter had already planned out the plot for the next few episodes in his mind.
However, she did not expect that Jiang Xingni would not choose such a path at all, but instead directly outside the city, using a single arrow to break through all laws.
By the time the screenwriter came to his senses, his assistant had already finished coloring the manuscript and uploaded it to the official website.
screenwriter:?
so horrible.
It was as if the pen could move on its own, and the plot would flow slowly downwards without her control. In the end, she could only see the world under her pen moving forward on its own, and she could not affect it at all.
Once the screenwriter came to his senses, he could only skillfully use online trolls to stir up trouble, trying to make so many people on the forum think that Jiang Xingni was causing trouble again, and to plant the idea in their minds that "it would be better if Jiang Xingni wasn't around."
On the screen, Jiang Xingni's golden eyes remained bright.
Looking at the screenwriter through the screen.
The screenwriter suddenly found himself in a state of confusion.
Why did she give Jiang Xingni such a superpower in the first place?
It allows one to see the true nature of the entire world.
As for the Eye of Truth, the screenwriter doesn't know if this name means that Jiang Xingni had already seen the fact that the world she lived in was actually just a comic book.
"Sigh, how can she be so wonderful? Why isn't she a real person living in real life?" The assistant looked at Jiang Xingni's face next to the screenwriter and sighed deeply.
—Sometimes the screenwriter also felt that Jiang Xingni was really alive.
Otherwise, who exactly is she outwitting right now, or is it just her own imagination?
She only knows one thing now.
She was determined to kill Jiang Xingni.
She will definitely kill Jiang Xingni.
It turns out that creators really do get jealous of the characters they create.
The screenwriter started to feel jealous of Jiang Xingni.
Perhaps this is not the beginning.
