Chapter 1368: Human Path (Part 3)

PS. Thanks to book friend Mercury's Masked Rider for the book coin tip, thanks for the support!

Main text:

Facts have proven that the blessing of having multiple wives is not something everyone can enjoy.

Letting so many girls fall in love with the same person, and still live harmoniously together, not only do fans not accept it, but NPCs in the game also cannot accept it.

As mentioned before, the NPCs in 《Fantasy World》 are upgraded with AI, and all speech and behavior follow the same logic as normal people.

So on a certain sunny afternoon, he was happily having a party with female characters in the manor.

However, the next second, a cold light flashed, and the female characters pulled out a kitchen knife from behind in unison, then minced him into meat sauce.

This is definitely one of the most bizarre ways to die that ten million players have experienced in the game.

And after resurrection, the favorability of all female NPCs was cleared to zero, and to raid them again, one must liver from the beginning.

Of course, in the end, nothing was left, at least this UP creator also obtained a unique achievement for the whole server—【N-th Groom】.

It's not that no one has imitated it since, but they all only encountered the kitchen knives of female characters, but did not trigger the achievement.

So this UP creator immediately became famous, becoming a unique scumbag in the Fantasy World, nicknamed Brother Cheng.

Of course, some players with particularly strong personality charm really enjoyed the treatment of a harem, flirting with six NPCs in one breath.

Not only was he not knifed, but in the end, he lived happily with them, and there were even exciting CGs.

In short, whether NPCs knife players or not depends entirely on the player's flirting level.

And precisely because it is done so realistically, many people treat Fantasy World as a romance game, completely not thinking about things like fighting monsters, leveling up, and entering raids, just traveling and playing with girls every day.

Interestingly, many viewers actually quite like watching these casual romance-oriented contents, the number is almost fifty-fifty with those progress-party members.

Just like in Luo Quan's live stream room, most are casual types.

Seeing Velvet's favorability rise, they kept asking Luo Quan to do favorability missions to unlock special dialogues.

Luo Quan felt it was ridiculous; she, a woman, going to raid another woman, completely lacks that kind of worldly desire, okay?

Moreover, it has always been others raiding her; she has never actively raided anyone, having no experience in this area.

So Luo Quan gave up after researching the favorability system.

The subsequent plot was basically what Luo Quan had experienced or heard about from Vivienne before.

Having just drunk a few sips of soup, she was suddenly sought out by several law enforcers and escorted to prison.

Soon, the protagonist's previous actions began to be broadcast in an analepsis way.

A serial killer named Leiner was executed by the protagonist; the non-compliant methods and the royal conflict accidentally fallen into caused the protagonist to be imprisoned.

Immediately following was the grudge between the protagonist and his father, and finally the trial.

This trial was not much different from the one Luo Quan experienced before; the protagonist had his testimony overturned by countless people he had helped.

Knowing that he couldn't turn the tables, the protagonist cursed at these people in court, claiming that even if he went to hell, he would glare at them in hell with eyes full of revenge flames until he witnessed them being swallowed by their own sins.

But unfortunately, this time there was no Luo Quan coming out to save people in court.

After this hearty cursing, the protagonist was sentenced to death by the furious presiding judge, and it was to be executed immediately.

The protagonist was taken to the execution ground, and his father asked him before the execution: "Regret it? Because you killed a hopeless criminal, you ruined a bright future and even your own life."

"Why regret?" The protagonist answered with a calm expression, "I will never regret upholding justice; whether those people backstab me or not, I would still kill this scumbag.

If I didn't encounter it, that's one thing, but since I encountered it, I could never stand by and watch."

The protagonist's father continued: "The justice you insisted on didn't provide you with any help in the end."

"I didn't ask for anything in return when I did these things."

After the protagonist finished speaking, he walked calmly to the guillotine.

When the guillotine rose with a crisp clicking sound, the hearts of all the audience hung in their throats.

Although they knew this was the protagonist, knowing he wouldn't die so simply.

But when the protagonist lay on the guillotine, the audience found that it seemed there was nothing left that could save him.

Unless a Deus ex machina came; after all, it is a supernatural world, wouldn't it be simple for a miracle to appear?

However, when the guillotine fell, the head fell to the ground.

No miracle appeared.

"Damn! You really wrote the protagonist to death?"

"This plot is awesome, it's something I completely didn't expect."

"It's been a long time since I've seen such blood-pumping plot; feels like it's only one step away from being deified."

"Truly makes people feel unsatisfied."

"Just came back from the neighboring plot party, the protagonist still lived, but was saved by the evil god, ironic, right?"

"Quite good, continuing to punish evil and promote good with the power of the evil god, has more depth."

"Pity, if the protagonist just died like this, and then unfolded the path of revenge from Velvet's perspective, feels like it would be more interesting."

"You really dare to think."

"By the way, what is the BGM when the protagonist is being executed? It's actually quite good."

"Ask Luo Bao, she is the supervisor of this area."

"Luo Bao, Luo Bao, beg for BGM!"

…………………

"Actually, this BGM wasn't created specifically for the game."

Luo Quan opened the folder while saying: "Actually, this piece was intended to be the theme song for the second stage of 《In the Name of the People》.

But I think its melody is quite suitable to appear when the protagonist is executed, so I used it here; currently, it looks like the effect is still quite good."

"More than just good, it's simply good!"

"It's indeed quite outrageous for a Suona to appear in a Western fantasy story, but it's a magical story to begin with, so it's understandable for the BGM to be a bit magical."

"So after saying so much, you still haven't given the complete version of this piece."

"Luo Bao, don't just play pure music, take out the lyrics for everyone to see."

………………

Luo Quan is not someone who likes to keep people in suspense, but this time she chose to hide it.

"This song can be unbanned tonight, because 《In the Name of the People》 will enter the second stage tonight, the song will fit the theme very well, it needs to be watched with the drama to have more feeling, so everyone wait until tonight to come to Bilibili."

With things said to this point, fans know that this song cannot be heard in advance.

But that's fine, anyway everyone is going to watch 《In the Name of the People》; after all, this is the hottest drama right now.

Playing 《Fantasy World》 during the day, watching 《In the Name of the People》 at night, how beautiful and fulfilling this day is.

It's just that the plots of these two works seem to be a bit too positive.

Where in this society is there so much justice and selflessness? More is selfishness, and even behaviors and thoughts that walk on the edge of the law.

"If one is not for oneself, heaven and earth will destroy them" is the current norm; in the end, things are thought of too ideally.

These are the views of many viewers on the two works.

Perhaps having experienced too much suffering and injustice, they no longer believe that fairness and justice exist in reality, and even less believe that people like the game protagonist and Hou Liangping will appear.

What kind of people are the protagonists of these two works?

They will firmly practice the justice in their hearts, even if they pay with their lives for it, they will not hesitate.

Fairness and justice are their lifelong pursuits, even if the people around them don't understand or even oppose them.

They have gone through thorns and thistles along the way, and even though they are covered in bruises, they have never wavered.

How could such people not be liked?

What is lacking now is just an emotional venting node.

And after the latest episode of 《In the Name of the People》 aired, this venting node arrived.

Chen Hai obtained evidence of Qi Tongwei's crimes, but was silenced by Qi Tongwei first.

On the way to submit the evidence, Chen Hai was hit by a truck; although he didn't die on the spot, he became a vegetable.

In order to continue the thorough investigation, Sha Ruijin, who had just arrived in Handong, decided to appoint new people to take over Chen Hai's position.

But many people in Handong had received favors from Zhao Lichun and were complicit with him, and also understood what the end would be if they took over Chen Hai's position to continue the investigation, so no one was willing to volunteer.

Just at this time, Hou Liangping appeared.

In the modified plot, after graduation, he was not transferred to the capital, but came to the countryside to help the poor, starting from the grassroots level.

His wife is still Zhong Xiaoai, but the Zhong family is no longer a family with heaven-reaching backgrounds, just an ordinary well-off family.

The two met in humble beginnings, fell in love in the mountain village, through more than ten years of rain and snow.

No great wealth, only the plain sour, sweet, bitter, and spicy.

Because Hou Liangping is too upright and doesn't talk about "human feelings," his promotion path is very slow.

Clearly he was once one of the best student union cadres in the school, but after working conscientiously for more than ten years, he was far less high in status than Qi Tongwei in the end.

But now the opportunity has arrived, Chen Hai was harmed, and his position became vacant.

Sha Ruijin pointed the general, yet no one dared to sit in this position.

Everyone is afraid, everyone is unwilling to wade into this muddy water.

But Hou Liangping is not afraid; after telling his wife his thoughts, he received his wife's full support.

Thus, Hou Liangping sent his wife and the elders of both sides to the capital, deciding to go alone to sit in this position full of crises.

This scene of the couple parting was filmed very meticulously; the two were chatting in the living room as usual.

Before leaving, the wife was still sewing clothes for her husband, urging her husband to take medicine on time.

And Hou Liangping is not good at words; after his wife finished all this, he gave his wife a gentle hug, and finally said: I love you.

He knew that this parting might very well be a farewell forever; if this sentence wasn't said, there might never be another chance in the future.

Zhong Xiaoai also understood what this sentence meant.

The couple held hands and looked at each other with teary eyes, speechless, all the reluctance and affection were in the eyes of the two.

Acting to this point, the barrage was already crazily praising: acting skills are god-like, watched until crying, this segment is deified, and other excited words.

But this is just foreshadowing, what follows is the climax.

Hou Liangping's volunteering was adopted; because of his relationship with Chen Hai, plus the reputation he gained for not being able to be promoted for so many years, he gained Sha Ruijin's trust and successfully took over Chen Hai's work.

After parting with his wife, Hou Liangping embarked on the road of succession.

At this time, the BGM of the second stage sounded:

"I want to walk through this life to see the snow orchid

I want to break these shoes and walk barefoot through the wind and sand

I want to see the clouds and mist in the day, and hold a torch at night

I want everything to have the rule of law under this bright universe

……………………"

Once these four sentences came out, all the emotions accumulated before were released all at once; I don't know how many people felt a sour nose, and tears flowed out with a splash.

Not everyone is born so selfish and indifferent; it is the reality, selfishness, and indifference of society that gradually assimilated them.

How could everyone not be willing to live in a world of great harmony, where everyone contributes selflessly and helps each other.

It's a pity that such a world is too difficult, so difficult that people can't see the hope of realization at all.

So people compromised, accepted their fate.

Killing and arson brings gold belts, repairing bridges and roads leaves no corpses.

Most people don't have the guts to kill and commit arson, but they also don't want to be the nameless corpse under the bridge.

So people chose indifference, chose to stay out of it.

But as long as people are still alive, the heart will beat, and the blood has not yet cooled.

It only takes some opportunities to evoke the heat in their hearts.

And this plot plus this incomparably appropriate BGM perfectly achieved this effect.

"Since ancient times, black and white have been divided by color

Don't talk about becoming a Buddha just by letting go

Good people may not necessarily have good rewards

Then why should bad people enjoy peace and happiness

For a breath, for a reason, for a sacrifice, I will go to the end!"

The singing is still continuing, and the lyrics are sung more and more to make people's blood surge.

Yes, good people may not necessarily have good rewards, why should bad people still enjoy glory and wealth?

This unwillingness intensified the bitterness in the hearts of all the audience; they expressed their applause for those who are eager to help others by praising the plot and music.

《In the Name of the People》, the audience now vaguely understands why the title of this drama is called this.

In the name of the people, to judge injustice, to punish evil and promote good, to praise those who contribute selflessly.

This is perhaps the reason for the drama title, and also the reason why they are so excited.

Because they are the people.

After the ups and downs of the climax, the song came to the end.

Hou Liangping changed into clothes to visit Chen Hai in the hospital, changed into Chen Hai's previous work system, began to formally investigate Chen Hai's harm, and also formally started the duel between good and evil with Qi Tongwei.

The song finally sang:

"I want those who have gone out to return home no matter how late

I want the rain falling from the sky to return to the sky

I want those who have dug wells to have salt in their pockets

I want the ghosts who have lost their hearts to have the rule of law in their eyes!"

This episode aired to this point and ended.

But the story belonging to 《In the Name of the People》 has just begun.

And with the airing of this episode, the seven big characters "In the Name of the People Deified!" climbed to the first trending search, with a bright "Explosive" prefix. ===== CHAPTER 1369 =====
