Although he didn't understand what Charles was thinking, "Brown" still stayed as far away from him as possible.
pity.
The city is so big...
Charles's reputation grew wider and wider, and some even dubbed him a genius.
This inevitably makes "Brown" feel that he is always in danger.
He couldn't bear it. He didn't think he could continue to live in the shadow of Charles' resurrection.
So "Brown" did something that gave up on himself.
He directly revealed that he had killed Charles and buried him in the flower bed.
Say that Charles is a devil, an unkillable devil, and let everyone stop following each other.
Of course, in order to enable himself to escape the charge of murder.
"Brown" arranged a routine for himself to fake his own death.
First, he told that he had cancer and that he did not have much time left, and then he said that he had killed Charles. After the news spread, he asked his daughter to hold a fake funeral for him...
In the end, he changed his appearance and eradicated Charles's incomprehensible fear after being resurrected from the dead.
but,
"Brown" obviously underestimated the fanaticism of Charles' fans.
As a lonely black marketeer, the incidents he exposed did not achieve much results.
When most people heard that Charles had come back from the dead, they said that "Brown"'s brain was broken, and suggested that he should seek psychiatric treatment, and then forget about it while talking and laughing...
The funeral is over.
The identity of "Brown" also lies in the grave.
Brown, who had changed his appearance, found that he had no influence on Charles at all, and his frustration suddenly reached its peak.
When everyone was enjoying Charles' "Black Friday" song, he felt that the world might be in big trouble...
Unconsciously, he thought everyone had fallen into Charles' trap.
That’s how Charles’ tune became a hit.
"Brown" also changed his identity from a black marketeer to an ordinary citizen.
He hides in a cheap rental house and continues his meaningless life...
The turning point happened two years later.
There's something wrong with the track "Black Friday."
After listening to the song, some people claimed that they could not bear the sadness in the song, and then committed suicide at home after leaving a suicide note.
If this was just one example, then some people would think that a certain musician was jealous of Charles' talent and made up such outrageous rumors in order to deliberately discredit Charles...
However, such instances are happening more and more.
In less than half a year, the number of suicides has almost reached four digits...
Charles was pushed to the forefront for a while.
"Brown" hiding in the dark also believed that the trap set by the other party had begun to set off, and those fans who were once passionate about Charles finally got a bad ending.
He had seen Charles come back from the dead...
So I accepted the music very quickly.
The rest of the people were divided into two groups. One group said that it was impossible to kill people with music, and the other group said that this piece of music contained a curse.
"Brown" is already ready to immigrate...
He was afraid that these things would implicate him.
It's normal to run away.
Although the loneliness of the black market caused him to lose a lot of business, the losses were out of control.
But he still used the connections he left behind to find a way out. With all his remaining property, he asked someone to find him an uninhabited island and left him to live on an isolated island...
This way, he won't be bothered by Black Friday.
Um.
"Brown" already had a fear of Charles.
This song, Black Friday, could kill people, shattering his last psychological defense...
He left everything behind, including his biological daughter.
Fleeing to the island because of fear...
He cut out all instruments and escaped to the song Black Friday.
Because "Brown" is convinced.
There's something really damning about that piece.
Just like Charles, himself an incomprehensible weirdo...
No, that's not right.
It should be said that they are dead people.
After all, he killed him with his own hands.
time flies.
In the endless suffering, "Brown" almost turned himself into a useless person. There was no companion to talk to him, and there was no entertainment to make his dead heart beat again.
Lonely life is extremely uncomfortable for "Brown".
But he didn't dare to leave the island.
Afraid that he would be retaliated against by Charles who could make a cursed tune like "Black Friday."
He regrets...
Why did he attack Charles in the first place?
Why did they kill each other and bury them under the flower bed...
The long-term loneliness caused "Brown" some mental problems.
And he was well aware that his state of mind was affected.
In order to prevent himself from going crazy and dying unknown on this island, "Brown" hesitated for a long time before using some means to find a newspaper deliveryman.
He thought he could learn about the situation outside through newspapers...
Learned about the old man Charles' condition.
When there is no news from Charles outside, then he can return to his previous life...
Although the probability of this situation is very small.
So small that it may not even exist.
But "Brown" still found something he can look forward to...
Newspapers were delivered to his island one after another, and through them he never let go of any news about Charles.
Humans may be such strange animals.
Even if you are afraid.
But I still can't help but be curious and pay attention to each other's every move...
Just like that, a long time passed.
Until that day, when "Brown" saw that Charles' song was banned and was not allowed to appear again, he simply jumped for joy.
He feels everything is worth it...
He might really be able to wait until the day when there is no message from the other party.
Maybe I can really return to my own life.
But that was the day...
The guy who delivered the newspaper to "Brown" looked very strange. After delivering the newspaper, he did not leave immediately. Instead, he hid in "Brown's" simple residence and monitored "Brown's" life.
The paper boy did a terrible job.
Because that night he was caught by "Brown" for making noise...
For newspaper delivery people who have close contact with themselves and behave abnormally.
"Brown" dealt with it by locking him up.
Since the incident with Charles.
"Brown" has become very sensitive. He does not dare to kill anyone easily. He even took care of the newspaper deliveryman by eating and drinking him while he was imprisoned.
unconsciously.
His spirit has developed in a direction he doesn't want to...
However.
I thought that this way we could live in peace and that we could successfully eliminate all dangers for "Brown".
One day after that, a poster suddenly floated over the island...
The words "Black Friday" are clearly printed on the poster.
"Brown" who picked up this poster was stunned as if struck by lightning.
He doesn't understand.
Why did this poster appear on the island where there was only him and the newspaper delivery boy...
For a while.
"Brown" subconsciously felt that the newspaper deliveryman had revealed his location, thus causing him to suffer revenge from Charles.
He is angry, he is afraid.
With a mixture of complicated emotions, he decided to kill the newspaper deliveryman...
"Brown" thought he was dying.
That's why I had no worries about killing the newspaper delivery boy.
And when he entered the room where the newspaper deliveryman was imprisoned with a knife, he cried and shouted that he was willing to tell everything and begged him to let him go.
At first "Brown" was reluctant.
Because he felt that none of this made any sense.
Anyway, Charles is coming soon, and he doesn’t have much time to live...
However, the newspaper deliveryman's words made him give up this idea.
"I can save you, I know how to save you!"
The newspaper delivery boy seemed to know a lot about him and seemed to have done some research on what he had experienced.
The other party told everything "Brown" was worried about.
Then he said he could solve the problem...
While waiting for death, he suddenly saw a glimmer of hope. Of course, "Brown" was not willing to let go of this opportunity.
So he put a knife on the newspaper deliveryman's neck and followed his lead to the place where the latter said all the secrets were hidden.
He wasn't worried that the paper boy would play tricks on him.
After all, he only needs to use a little force, and the big knife will stab open the newspaper deliveryman's neck...
him at this time.
I only regretted why I didn't ask the newspaper deliveryman at first, but instead served him delicious food and drinks. I was afraid that the place would be like Charles, who would resurrect after death and have some kind of curse ability.
"Brown" only remembers that he left for a long time that day...
Finally, led by the newspaper deliveryman, he came to a dense forest.
There, he saw the most shocking scene he had ever seen in his life.
Because there were more than a dozen corpses that looked exactly like him lying inside the mountain.
Even though the corpses were in varying degrees of decomposition, he could still recognize himself!
same.
There is not only "Brown's" body here, but also that of the newspaper delivery boy.
There are about a dozen of them, thrown randomly outside this wilderness without any rules...
Then the paper boy told him.
These corpses are all real in a sense.
In fact, they are just clones who were created to live in each other's identities after killing their originals.
To prove that what he said is true.
The newspaper deliveryman took out a strange envelope from "Brown"'s pocket and told "Brown" that this was the evidence that he was a replica...
This world is false.
They will have countless selves meeting here, and there will be countless characters who will continue the story even if they die.
This is the curse of this world’s existence…
"Black Friday" is an infinite story.
It represents the ancient past.
The absolute horror of the story behind it is the final verdict here...
The curse cannot be stopped.
Everyone involved in this world cannot escape the curse.
The way to get out of here alive is to die under "Black Friday"...
And this newspaper delivery boy is no longer the original newspaper delivery boy.
Most of the information he obtained through his "past self" finally locked the target.
That is to come to find "Brown".
According to the newspaper delivery boy.
At this time, there is a rumor out there that Black Friday will make people "suicide", which is just a parody of the song.
That's not real...
The real tune will always be with the real Charles.
But there is no news about the real Charles after his death at the hands of "Brown".
Now the Charles out there is pretending.
He was unable to find the person who really had the identity of "Charles", thinking that "Brown" had seen the original version of Black Friday, and planned to find a way out alive through him.
That's why the paper boy came...
...
...
That’s it.
The information Park Yunjin learned was lost.
Although it seems complicated and useless, it is not difficult to sort out the logical chain.
Before Pu Yunjin took the initiative to find Qianye.
He has already taken out all the important things inside.
Because all this information was only obtained from the "envelope", it still took him a lot of time...
According to Park Yunjin explained.
He was completely different from Qianye when he first came here.
There was no cruise ship, no slow acceptance of the town by its many victims.
Almost as soon as he woke up, he was in a town on the island, living alone in an uninhabited corner.
Since he initially listened to a lot of what Qianye said about things in the horror world, he was extra cautious when he found himself entering the horror world, fearing that he would trigger some weird rules and die here in an unknown way.
Yes......
The reason why Park Yunjin didn't contact Qianye from the beginning.
It's just because he was too cautious.
Moreover, coupled with the information given in the envelope, he even doubted whether the Qianye in this town was the Qianye he knew.
But fortunately, he arrived in time when most of the situation was sorted out from the contents of the envelope...
At least Qianye was saved by some mistake.
"Just briefly summarize what I've figured out during this time."
"First of all, everyone in this town is a victim. They have envelopes with them to tell them in various ways what kind of person the character they have been given is."
"And we will also use the setting of having to complete tasks to reduce everyone's sense of isolation from the characters..."
"Then, the curse of Black Friday is real... Of course, I don't say it is so evil or unclear. According to my understanding, it is actually because the cursed people cannot really die, which leads to the curse of Black Friday. The story has no ending."
"A terrifying world without an ending means that people will continue to die..."
"Of course, there is a concept here, because after I came to this world, I did find the body of the character Brown from the location mentioned in the envelope. The body looked exactly like mine. I even doubted whether it was mine. Twin brothers.”
"I touched all the corpses and finally found key information on two corpses..."
"Before they died, they wrote the three words Park Yunjin."
"It means that they are not NPCs in the true sense. Perhaps they can be understood as me in another world from a certain perspective."
"In other words, the story of Black Friday has no ending, which proves that I will eventually die in this story in all worlds... Of course, the premise is that nothing I do changes."
"The newspaper deliveryman mentioned in the envelope message, I don't know if the method of leaving mentioned is true or false. After all, the way to leave is death. I don't dare to try this easily."
"But at least now it seems that this is the only clue I have that has a chance of getting out."
"I figured out that bullshit elimination mechanism. It's not an idiotic move like how many people in our group can survive, dividing into two groups, etc. It makes my teeth itch!"
"Everyone has misunderstood what the elimination of this invitational meeting refers to..."
