chapter 368. the night the comet came
While everyone was funny about the plot of exchanging bodies and was amazed by the exquisite scenery in the animation, Li Xue was thinking about the plot.
It is obvious that as the heroine in the story exchanges bodies, she gradually falls in love with the male protagonist far away in the big city, and the same is true for the other party. Therefore, when the male protagonist Takashi was dating his senior, the senior would say that he already had a more important person in his heart.
Senior left, Long stood alone on the overpass, looking at his cell phone.
"When the date ends, you should be able to see the comet in the sky."
The phone is the diary left by Ye when he exchanged his body the day after. Long looked up at the sky, but the dusk sky was calm and there was no trace of a comet at all.
Looking at the name on his phone, Long finally decided to call him.
As the camera turned, Ye's cell phone rang, but this was not the male protagonist's phone number, but the invitation from his friend. It turned out that there was a lantern festival in the town tonight, and you could also watch comets.
Ye, wearing beautiful clothes, had already cut off her long hair, which seemed to have changed her mood.
She came to the high slope and looked up at the night sky.
The comet was dragging its long trail and radiating a brilliant light.
But in Ye's eyes, the comet split, and one of them was falling to the ground!
The camera switched, and the call Long made was not answered. He sighed and wanted to ask the other party about his thoughts next time he exchanged his bodies.
However, since that day, Long never exchanged his body with Ye again.
Life seemed to have returned to normal. Long continued his original daily life, made jokes with his friends, and worked in a restaurant. However, he began to search for everything about the leaves, and Long, who was determined to become an architectural designer, described everything in the dream.
Finally, he decided to look for Ye.
Long, who originally wanted to embark on a journey alone, was caught by his friends and seniors, and the three of them took the high-speed rail to Sichuan.
"Um?"
Li Xue felt a little strange, especially the plot about the comet. Logically, if Ye could see the comet, Long would definitely see it, but the sky on both sides was completely different.
"Does two people live in different worlds? No, it should be"
Li Xue, who had seen many stories, immediately had a guess. Soon, she felt that Ye Helong must be living on a different timeline!
This is a kind of narrative trick, because at the beginning, people would definitely subconsciously think that the two were living at the same time and in the same world when they saw the exchange of bodies. But in fact, there was a gap in the era in which Ye and Long lived, which led to some details of their lives being unable to match.
Of course, there are some small ugs in this, such as Ye Helong did not confirm the time after exchanging his body, such as whether they had contacted other friends after exchanging his body, but these can be explained by the blurred memory after exchanging his body, and there is no need to go into it in depth.
As a creator, Li Xue knows that some seemingly unreasonable settings are actually paving the way for drama. If the story is completely logical, it is certainly okay, but there will be a lack of drama and conflicts. Of course, it is not possible to be completely illogical, which will make people feel forced to be entangled. Therefore, grasping the balance is a problem that every creator needs to think about.
She whispered this idea to Han Qingwen. Han Qingwen was stunned for a moment and thought for a while.
"It seems that I can say that."
He had never thought of this before. When Li Xue mentioned it, many pieces of logic were immediately integrated.
"Let's keep watching."
Li Xue said again, turning her eyes to the screen.
Long and the other three set out on the way to Sichuan and Shu, but Long didn't remember the location and name of the town at all. He could only rely on his memory to describe the scenery.
Along the way, he asked while searching, but he never gained anything.
At a noodle restaurant, the three of them ordered Dandan noodles, and Takashi also decided to give up and go home.
At this time, the boss unexpectedly recognized the scenery of the town depicted in Takashi's hand.
"Isn't this Sishouzhen?"
The boss lady asked.
"Yes, it's indeed Sishou Town. I didn't expect that anyone can remember this place now."
The boss looked at Long's sketch and nodded.
"Is this town nearby?"
Suddenly, Long stood up and asked as if he had recalled something.
The boss and the boss's wife's face became solemn. When the friends and seniors who were traveling with Long heard this name, they suddenly realized.
"Si Shuzhen is the comet"
I took the boss's car to the location of Sishou Town, climbed up the hillside, and saw the scene of the town again.
The town originally built around a circular lake has been completely destroyed, and the fragments of the comet fell directly into the center of the town, forming a huge crater that led to the lake water.
This was a scene of unquestionable despair, and Li Xue could even hear someone in the cinema taking a breath.
Long felt incredible. He remembered clearly this mountain, this school, and this small town.
To confirm, Long took out his cell phone and wanted to see the diary left by Ye.
But when he opened the diary, he found that the words disappeared little by little, as if they had never appeared.
When he came to the City Archives, Long saw the records about Sishou Town three years ago.
Comet Tiamat, which circles the sun for 1,200 years, has the closest day to Earth in October three years ago. No one could have predicted that it would split in perigee, and the falling debris hit Sishou Town, causing huge disasters. Almost the entire town was destroyed, and more than one-third of the people in the town were killed.
Long found the list of victims and checked them one by one. He saw the names of Ye’s two friends. Then, he saw Ye’s grandmother and sister’s names. Finally, he saw Ye’s name.
Friends all thought that Long had hallucinations, and even Long himself began to feel that the day of exchanging his body was a dream, and everything might be just a delusion formed by the unconscious combination of the news he had read three years ago.
Seeing this plot, Wang Ze took a breath.
Xu Rui is a soldier of love, and he can write such plots.
He glanced at the rich woman Wang Shiya beside him, and she also had a little surprised expression. She didn't expect the plot to develop like this. The heroine who exchanged bodies with the male protagonist actually died three years ago!
Li Xue was already sure at this time that the male and female protagonists did have a three-year time difference, and Long had been exchanging body with Ye three years ago!
As the plot reaches this point, there seems to be nothing to develop. The heroine is already in a state of vain, and the hero begins to forget her existence.
However, Li Xue knew that such novels involving time tricks would definitely deal with the troubles on the timeline, and Ye still has hope!
Chapter completed!
