Chapter 194: Supporting God
This monthly magazine is a purely literary publication, and the famous Akutagawa Prize and Naoki Prize are in the editorial department.
You can imagine the gold content, and Wenyi Chunqiu has also evolved from a magazine that only publishes literary novels to a part of the content that publishes interviews, just like when Jin Sanpang became the leader last year, he conducted an exclusive interview.
The theme of this issue is a special issue of comics, which is an interview with Junji Ito, the son of Ichiro Meizu and the winner of the full score evaluation of Meitu Award.
The interview report came out, and at the same time, "Halloween Monthly" also pursued the victory and published the award-winning work "Human Chair" and Ito Junji's new work "Human Head Balloon".
An instant hit!
Junji Ito's painting style is so unique that it makes people feel goosebumps all over their bodies - it's like pulling out barbs, it hurts, everyone knows that using nail clippers can make it painless, but it's also a little bit addictive.
Because of Ito Junji's enthusiastic praise, Gu Lu was almost praised to the sky, and the first two issues of "Floating Blog" became popular.
"Wanderer on the Ceiling"
"D Banpo Murder Case"
"The Incredible Crime of Dr. Muro"
"Mirror Hell"
"Human Chair"
"The Man Traveling with Stickers"
"On the Abacus" "Love Language"
In seven short stories, the name Gu Lu broke through the niche circle of magazine readers and entered the public eye.
“Seven stories are really few. Doesn’t he have any full-length works?”
“The Human Chair looks good in both text and comic versions, but I can’t imagine that this text version From an underage student."
"Are there any new works?"
The key is that the reporter from Wenyi Chunqiu also sent out the contact information of Gu Lu (the email address of the editor). .
Ever since, invitations from Neon Magazine came one after another!
Gu Lu returned to Wudu and went to bed early that day, waiting to give souvenirs to his friends tomorrow.
The sun will not be late because someone goes to bed late, and the release of "Science Fiction World" will not be delayed because Gu Lu came to the capital.
The last issue was released in February, and readers who were anxious to buy it were not disappointed this time.
［Feed God
○Gu Lu
God is at the end of his rope.
Bring her eyes
○Gu Lu
Please bring her eyes and let her see what the world looks like for the last time. ]
"Both of the two recommended articles were by Gu Lu. Gu Lu has dominated the science fiction world." Many science fiction readers thought to themselves.
This time it is about supporting God. Is it a series? Readers are thinking, what else is there about God in science fiction? With doubts in their hearts, readers read intently.
There is no doubt that "Providing God" is the first article that many readers open.
Compared with "Feeding Humanity", it starts like a gangster novel. I don't know what the hell it is, but this one explodes at the beginning.
[God has made the Qiusheng family unhappy again. ]
The first sentence at the beginning arouses people's interest in reading. ["You old man, you are going to kill this family!"]
[As usual, God stood there with his head bowed, his long, snow-white beard like a broom dragged down to his knees, and his face was He smiled timidly, like a child who had done something wrong. "I...I took down the milk pot. Why isn't it turned off?"]
Unbelievable, God forgot to turn off the stove because he was boiling milk, and was scolded by Qiu Sheng's daughter-in-law Yulian.
It seems that the Qiusheng family is still raising God.
"President Jian, I bought "Science Fiction World"." "Just leave it there, it's troublesome."
President Jian asked his assistant to help buy the magazine. He also wanted to see Gu, who was encountering science fiction for the first time. Lu, what level can you write?
"One method can lead to another. Xiao Gu has mastered the field of short stories." President Jian saw that the two articles featured on the cover were Gu Lu.
At the same time, President Jian’s doubts in his mind were also solved. Why is the new work "Bingguo" also translated? It must be because he has read too many foreign science fiction novels.
“When can we stabilize a style?” President Jian also started to look at it. After reading the very story-driven first chapter, I entered the explanation chapter.
It turns out that God is not one person, but more than two billion aliens who came in spaceships.
As for why they are gods, because humans were created by them in ancient times, so for Blue Star civilization, to be precise, for human civilization, they are indeed gods.
“God unfolds and there is no limit to young people’s imagination.” President Jian said.
So what does God do now when he comes to Blue Star? Because God's civilization is about to decline, they are highly developed, have artificial intelligence and robots, so they don't have to do anything.
Gradually, the people of God's civilization lost their creativity, until they could no longer understand the instructions, could not repair the spacecraft, and could not survive, so they came to seek refuge with the humans they had created.
Readers enjoyed it!
"Gu Lu made it up as if it were real. He proposed the concept of the end of the family before, and now it is two labels for the decline of civilization."
"Two billion gods, quite a lot. There are two billion more elderly and incapable people in society, and the world cannot afford to support them." Readers who saw this had different reactions.
Humanity still accepted these old people, not out of responsibility and morality, but out of benefit. God's civilization informed mankind of all their scientific and technological information.
Every village accepted God, after all there are two billion gods!
"Can humans rely on the technology of God's civilization to achieve a leap?" President Jian continued to read curiously.
The Great Leap, not at all!
The technology of God's civilization is too advanced, and energy technology is based on the "annihilation of matter and antimatter". Let alone manufacturing it, it would take a century to understand the basics.
As for controllable nuclear fusion? It is not included in the knowledge of God’s civilization.
"What an interesting setting. Modern energy technology does not include drilling wood to make fire, hahahaha." President Jian smiled.
Soon President Jian and the readers could no longer laugh.
Because humans cannot benefit at all from the scientific and technological knowledge of God's civilization, the "honeymoon period" is over. The family that supports God, oh no, the whole society regards God as a burden!
There are even many abuses of God in society. Qiu Sheng himself respects God, but his wife Yulian and his father both feel that their God is a burden.
President Jian couldn't laugh anymore, because he seemed to see himself in God, and he would also grow old...
The accumulated conflicts in the Qiu Sheng family finally broke out at the point of half a box of instant noodles. Explode and drive God out of the house.
[Qiu Sheng looked back at his father and said: "If the people who created the ancestors of our ancestors were kicked out of the house by you, it wouldn't be a big sin if I didn't support you in old age." After that, he looked after himself. He walked away, leaving his father and wife standing stunned by the door. ]
"Feeding God" does not have the shocking twist at the end of "Feeding Humanity", but it is just a blunt knife chopping meat - the more you watch it, the more it touches your heart.
Because people will grow old.
And the ending of Supporting God does not have a twist, nor does it disappoint the readers...
