The King of Huayu Science Fiction

Chapter 269 Absurd plot

When the little girl stumbled and read out the kidnapper's conditions, it was like a bomb dropped into the water, blowing up a new situation in the previously stagnant plot.

Not only the chemical reaction of the plot, but also the violent waves in the hearts of audiences like Wu Heng.

All of a sudden, in front of the computer and mobile phone, an unknown number of people opened their mouths, with question marks or excitement on their faces.

Wu Heng was the one with the excited expression on his face.

This is not because he is abnormal, although he does have a little curiosity.

Instead, the voice of "The good show finally begins" finally echoed in his mind again.

He spends all day editing videos and dubbing, and he is indeed a little tired. He didn't expect that the beginning of "Black Mirror" would be dull and boring. Although the clues are simple, the conflicts in the drama are not strong, and it is inevitable that some attention will be diverted.

And now, he seems to have returned to the completely different face in the mirror shards that looked down at the ground after the actor woke up when he watched "Fatal Identity". The butterfly effect moment that instantly changed everyone's memory, the scene where the earth disintegrates and explodes in the quiet space at the beginning of "Space Super Battleship".

But it's very different from those high-energy moments above.

The extreme sense of absurdity put him in a strange state of shock.

Absurdity generally refers to being completely empty of reality and divorced from the actual situation.

But the most extreme absurdity is to be established in the most real world!

If the beginning is the Western Fantasy background, the audience will subconsciously pave the way for the next sword and magic.

If the beginning is an ancient costume in the market, then the audience will automatically lay out the psychological preparations for martial arts light skills or even myths, fairy tales and ghosts.

If the beginning is the abnormal reaction of the hero in "Source Code", then the audience will be ready for all kinds of magical settings of science fiction and fantasy.

The normal and boring plots in the first half of "Black Mirror" made the audience unprepared, and also brought out the absurdity of the moment to the extreme.

In the most real world, this absurd color triggers a magical chemical reaction, which is different from the brain-burning and tear-jerking chemical reaction.

Faced with the absurd condition of the kidnapper, it is obvious that the characters in the play seem to feel the same absurdity as the audience in front of the screen, and try to deal with it with real-world logic.

"Are you kidding me?! Is today April Fool's Day? Or some kind of trick from a variety show? I don't like this kind of prank..."

After Lin Wei ruled out the jokes and pranks one by one, he ended his unnecessary struggle.

Lin Wei absolutely cannot accept this condition, and his agent agrees, of course, but since he was named and implicated in the video, and it has been seen by millions of netizens, then he has to do it respond.

How to respond?
Of course, it is to disregard the relationship, to disregard the relationship with the little girl. Lin Wei is not a relative or friend of the little girl. Leaving aside the strange blackmail conditions, the kidnappers obviously found the wrong person for the blackmail.

But it can't appear that he is indifferent to the little girl's safety, which will undoubtedly give netizens a bad impression, and he must even express his concern for the little girl in his response.

Lin Wei, his agent, and his assistants were all overwhelmed and began to think about how to draft an appropriate response.

In the steel forest city, ordinary people who are busy with work and life have also begun to pay attention to this "wonderful" video of kidnappers and extortion.

Although this video has been deleted on mainstream platforms, it is still being circulated at an accelerated rate on online disks, penguins, and various forums.

Office workers, housewives, the elderly, even children in primary and secondary schools, and even enthusiastic netizens who are concerned about the missing girl have all learned about it passively or actively through exchanges with colleagues, friends, relatives, and classmates. messages, and even the video itself.

The kidnapper sent out a threatening video, wanting to become a popular young student Lin Wei... to fuck a sow, and record it as a video, and post it on the Internet within 48 hours. The platform cannot delete the video for at least two hours after it is sent, otherwise the kidnappers will tear up the ticket .

Some people suspected that this was a prank, not a video sent by the real kidnapper, but a video synthesized with special effects, and some people speculated whether the kidnapper had a feud with Lin Wei and so on.

These plots were shown in front of Wu Heng with extremely real pictures, the reactions of the people from all over the world, their speeches on the Internet, discussions with relatives and colleagues in real life, their surprise, curiosity, disbelief and disbelief. Anger is shot very realistically.

This kind of reality is not only the reality of performance, but also the reality of reaction.

Wu Heng even felt that if such a thing really happened in the real society, then the reaction of the people who eat melons would be like this.

The police were also shocked by this video. On the one hand, they followed the clues released by the video and began to investigate. On the other hand, they invited relevant technical experts to analyze the authenticity of the extortion video and whether there were any traces of post-production special effects.

This episode intensified the absurdity in Wu Heng's heart in front of the computer screen.

The police's reaction is too normal and rigorous, but there is just an unstoppable sense of absurdity coming out of the plot, and you can't even describe exactly where this sense of absurdity and black humor comes from.

After the police confirmed the authenticity of the video, they also dispatched a team to contact Lin Wei, who was being blackmailed in the video.

An investigation into Lin Wei was even launched. After all, the kidnappers sent a blackmail video to a popular star who apparently had nothing to do with the little girl, and the conditions were strange, so this kidnapping case is likely to have something to do with Lin Wei, even if Lin Wei It is true that Wei has no other connection with the little girl, so maybe the kidnapper is Lin Wei's enemy, otherwise why would such a weird blackmail video be sent out?

It is also a direction of investigation to find out from Lin Wei's network of people who have had a feud with him and have a bad relationship with him.

The angle of view has turned to various media, and the widely watched case of the disappearance of the little girl has made great progress. The kidnappers have released a blackmail video. There is no reason why this news should not be reported?
Of course, the video cannot be released, and the strange conditions in the video cannot be directly mentioned, but it can be hinted at.

Various marketing accounts have begun to covertly or implicitly report the blackmail video of the kidnapping of the little girl.

A mainstream media also held a meeting on this matter. At the meeting, the editor-in-chief was more journalistic, and believed that all the heat should not be touched, and it was still necessary to be cautious in reporting this matter.There was a dispute between the two parties during the meeting.

But news soon came that "Xindu Bao" and "Pengbai News" had published news about this matter. Of course, they did not directly state that the condition put forward in the video was to let the popular young student Lin Wei fuck a pig, but implied that It is related to Lin Wei, and said that the extortion conditions are embarrassing. At the same time, he is still sorting out and tracking other details of the case and the progress of the investigation.

Only ten minutes after it was posted, the number of clicks and readings has exploded, which shows that netizens are very concerned about this matter.

This made the debate at the meeting bankrupt, and finally the editor-in-chief had no choice but to make a decision to follow up the report.

It should be said that neither the police nor the media made any problems with these responses, and Wu Heng couldn't find any faults, but the absurdity became more and more intense.

The current mainstream reactions of melon eaters and netizens are also very normal, thinking that Lin Wei has nothing to do with this matter, and the kidnapper is a psychopath, and urge the police to solve the case as soon as possible, catch the murderer and rescue the little girl.

And then, the first turning point occurred.

Although the kidnapper had some hacker skills and anti-reconnaissance awareness, the police still found out the address where the kidnapper might be hiding based on the account that sent the extortion video online.

With Lin Wei's prayers and attention, the police raided the address, but they were in vain. The kidnappers were very vigilant and moved ahead of time, or it might be the kidnappers' fog formation at all.

At this point, the day has almost passed.

It may be that the actions of the police angered the kidnappers, or it may be that a day has passed, Lin Wei has not taken any action, and the kidnappers want to remind him.

So less than two hours after the failed police raid, yet another video surfaced online.

In this video, the kidnapper cut off a finger of the little girl with a knife, and made the crying little girl read out the request again, urging Lin Wei to act as soon as possible. There is only one day left. It's time, if Lin Wei doesn't fuck the pig before the deadline and record it as a video and send it out, the little girl will be killed.

Although Weibo and other platforms have raised their vigilance and deleted the video soon, the people who eat melons have been prepared for a long time. Netizens have been paying attention to this matter, so as long as they see this video, they will save it as soon as possible. Videos and related screenshots, and even animations began to be widely circulated.

However, the helpless cry of the little girl and the bloody and cruel scenes caused subtle changes in public opinion.

Many people have changed their original position. On the one hand, they hope that the police can speed up the detection, and on the other hand, they are shocked by the brutality of the kidnappers. Then the two-day deadline is no joke.

If the police can't catch the kidnapper within a day, won't the little girl be torn apart?
So if Lin Wei really fulfilled the conditions of being a pig, would he be able to save the little girl's life?No matter how bad it is, it can create time for the police to detect it.

Of course, people who eat melons inevitably include curiosity in their worries.

In many website forums, as well as in reality, many people began to bet on whether Lin Wei would really be a pig.

Some people even stayed in front of their mobile phones and computers all the time, wanting to save the video as soon as Lin Wei sent it.

The attitude of the police has also undergone a subtle change. After the ferment of the extortion video, this kidnapping case has become a national sensation, and the pressure from above is increasing.

However, even if the special case team is confident in the detection, there is less than one day left before the kidnapper's time to tear up the ticket. The objective world does not shift with subjective will, and they are not sure that they will find and capture the suspect within one day.

Therefore, the police tactfully discussed with Lin Wei whether there is such a possibility that Lin Wei will satisfy the kidnapper's request, which can delay the deadline for tearing up the ticket and help the police gain space and time. Of course, the decision rests with Lin Wei. Willing, no one will force him.

Naturally, Lin Wei resolutely refused, but his emotions were close to collapse. Under the persuasion of his manager, he began to prepare for the worst situation.

If it is really a last resort, you can try to use technical means to solve it, such as spending money to find someone to be a pig, and then use face-changing technology to replace Lin Wei's face.

But time is so tight, it's not easy to find someone who is similar in size and appearance to Lin Wei, and who is willing... to be a pig.

Because the opinions of netizens have changed, the attitude of the media has also become more subtle. Some media even issued a vote: support Lin Wei to save the little girl VS oppose Lin Wei to save the little girl.

Although more and more netizens voted for it, the number of votes and voices against it still accounted for the majority.

Immediately afterwards, the little girl's parents approached Lin Wei's house. The haggard middle-aged couple knelt on the ground crying and begging Lin Wei to save their daughter.

Followed by the media and reporters.

Photos and reports of the little girl's parents pitifully begging to kneel to Lin Wei spread all over the Internet again.

As time passed and the deadline approached, the attitudes of the melon eaters and online public opinion changed again.

Just feeding a pig can save the little girl's life, which is better than building a seven-level pagoda.

Some netizens even launched a petition under Lin Wei's Weibo, and even Lin Wei's fans' attitudes have changed, thinking that if Lin Wei can bravely save the little girl, they will love his brother even more.

Then another incident happened. The information that Lin Wei's team wanted to find someone to replace their faces was leaked.

What's weird is that this made public opinion even more supportive of Lin Wei's fucking pig. Some netizens even expressed their opinions, thinking that Lin Wei would not be able to get away with it, but would anger the kidnappers and kill the little girl.

Some netizens even began to accuse Lin Wei of being selfish, and that as a public figure, he has no sense of responsibility.

Opinions supporting Lin Wei's rescue of the little girl and the ever-increasing curiosity hidden deep in the hearts of netizens burned fiercely, overcoming the voice of opposition for the first time.

Therefore, Weibo held a high-level meeting to discuss whether to follow the kidnapper's request. If Lin Wei posted the pig video, it could not be deleted within two hours.

If Lin Wei took action, but Weibo deleted the video, then if the kidnappers tear up the ticket, part of the responsibility for the little girl's death will inevitably be held on Weibo.

And because the police also expressed their silent support for this, Lin Wei's decision to delete the pig video after two hours was unanimously approved.

In this way, under the expectation and curiosity of the people who eat melons and public opinion, and with the tacit support of the media and the police, Lin Wei fulfilled the conditions of the kidnappers in desperation and released the video.

The video of Lin Wei slapping pigs was deleted by the entire Internet two hours after it was released, and a day later, the police finally found out where the kidnappers were hiding.

In a raid that mobilized a large number of police forces, heavily armed police broke into the door and saw the suspect who had hanged himself and the little girl tied to a chair and crying, her fingers wrapped in gauze oozing blood.

Afterwards, Lin Wei, who was the hero who saved the little girl's life, accepted the gratitude from the little girl's parents and was awarded the title of brave deeds.

Two months later, Lin Wei, who had been silent for two months after posting the pig video, reappeared and began to participate in business activities and accept interviews.

It seemed normal together, Lin Wei always showed a cheerful smile, the media and netizens also welcomed Lin Wei's comeback very much.

But in the end, he couldn't go back, not only because of Lin Wei's greatly reduced number of fans, but also the videos of uploading pigs that netizens keep circulating in private and even on the Internet.

After returning home after a busy day, Lin Wei walked to the balcony and jumped off.

With the sound of "ding dong" all over the city, the news of Lin Wei's suicide by jumping off the building was pushed to people whose lives returned to normal.

People who are working, cooking, shopping, surfing the Internet, looking down at the news push, with expressions of surprise, curiosity, anger, sigh, excitement and amazement on their faces, sparked another round of discussion on the Internet .

Wu Heng looked at the scene on the computer screen and felt very familiar. Isn't that the reaction of people when the little girl's disappearance and blackmail video appeared on the Internet?
It cannot be said that they are exactly the same, only that there is basically no difference.

In the familiar media conference room, everyone began to discuss how to report this news.

Some people asked whether they should interview the little girl's parents. After all, Lin Wei is also the little girl's savior, and even suicide is actually related to the little girl's kidnapping case. Clear?

Let's see what the little girl's parents think about this, what do you want to say to Lin Wei?
The editor-in-chief was still hesitating, and someone ran in and said in a hurried tone that the two media outlets next door had sent reporters to interview the little girl's parents, and even wanted to interview the little girl herself.

The editor-in-chief sighed and knocked on the table.

The sound of the mirror cracking sounded again, and the shady scene was pulled out, and the first episode was over.
