Chapter 595 Renaissance

It was June 2017, and two major events happened in Longguo.

One was that Luoyang won the Nobel Prize in Literature, and Liu Qin, a famous pop diva in Longguo, accepted the award on his behalf.

When the photo of Liu Qin accepting the Nobel Prize in Literature for Luoyang was sent back to China, most of the literary circles in Longguo, along with countless citizens who love literature, sent their blessings to Luoyang. After all, this was the first time that a writer in Longguo won the Nobel Prize in Literature.

However, no one would lose their composure like when the news first came out, as the peak of popularity had passed.

After returning to China, Liu Qin's status was further improved. She was already a queen, and her popularity had reached the point of being at its peak. Obviously, accepting the Nobel Prize in Literature on behalf of Luoyang gave her a huge bonus, allowing more and more people to know her, even those abroad.

Another thing was the cross-border literary battle between Endo Jian, the top mystery writer in the island country, and Dongfang Yu, the first mystery novelist in Longguo!

Endo Ma is the first person in the island country to write mystery novels, and his influence is beyond words; Dongfang Yu is also a leader in the mystery world of Longguo, and the sales of his works are also very terrifying.

Therefore, this cross-border literary battle has long attracted great attention, but this kind of literary battle is actually not formal, because there are no judges, so the two just publish their own works for written tests, and generally speaking, the better and worse can be compared.

In the cross-border literary battle, the work published by Endo Ma is called "Park".

The work tells the investigation of a corpse dumping case, solving the case from the perspective of the police, with many plot twists and turns, and the writing is as sophisticated as ever, showing Endo Ma's consistent level, and has won the love and praise of many readers.

The mystery work that Dongfang Yu used to fight is called "Sleep Travels".

The story tells the story of a patient protagonist with sleep obsession and sleepwalking. He goes to bed and sleepwalks at a fixed time every day, and then uses electronic documents to roughly record the sleepwalking process, but it cannot be very detailed, and he will forget everything after waking up.

Although he consults a psychologist every week, the effect is minimal.

The protagonist himself seemed to be accustomed to this kind of life, so everything began to be calm.

The first ups and downs of the story were that one day the protagonist recorded a less detailed process of his own murder, and this murder actually happened, and then he began to look for clues through the less detailed document, intending to cover up his crime.

Unfortunately, a hacker hacked into his computer and read the document.

So the hacker became a detective and began to look for clues. When the clues gradually surfaced, the protagonist was finally shocked to find that someone was hacking into his computer on a sleepless night.

The protagonist began to forge sleepwalking documents himself to induce the unknown hacker to take a detour, but this method ultimately failed. The mysterious hacker easily saw through the protagonist's plan. At this time, the protagonist couldn't help but want to kill the hacker...

The story proceeded in an orderly manner, and all perspectives were placed on the protagonist.

One day, the protagonist suddenly had a new guess, that is-in fact, all the documents recording the murder were forged by the unknown hacker. The hacker replaced his original documents with these documents. Maybe the person didn't kill himself!

The protagonist finally understood the sense of disharmony in the document, because the document did not conform to his writing habits.

I am afraid that he was set up by someone, and the murderer was the guy who hacked the computer, the psychologist who helped him see a doctor, or someone he often came into contact with...

Obviously, this work also has multiple reversals and many unexpected places. The early stage is closely related to the theme of sleepwalking, and even has a bit of horror. The cat-and-mouse game between the protagonist and the hacker is upgraded step by step, which also tightly grasps the readers' heartstrings.

So this work has also received super high evaluations as soon as it came out.

These readers' evaluation of "Sleepwalking" is not much less than that of Endo Ma's "Park". In this way, the ending of this cross-border literary battle involving countless mystery enthusiasts in the two countries is quite intriguing.

Because the new mystery works used by the two people for literary battles have a sense of not giving in to each other!

Many of Dongfang Yu's previous mystery novels were published in the island country, and some of them received good reviews, so readers in the island country are not unfamiliar with Dongfang Yu. This time, because it involves a cross-border literary battle, the attention is particularly high.

Many readers in the island country said that this "Sleep Journey" is a breakthrough for Dongfang Yu, which is enough to be on par with Endo Ma!

Of course, more readers in the island country are unwilling to admit that "Sleep Journey" and "Park" are tied, but there is no way. The fact is that even Endo Ma himself can only pinch his nose and admit that the result of this cross-border literary battle is a draw.

After all, he bears the honor of being the first mystery novel writer in the island country.

As the first mystery master in the island country, Endo Ma can't lie with his eyes open.

So this heart-wrenching cross-border literary battle actually ended in a draw, and countless netizens in Longguo were overjoyed!

"First, the national writer Luoyang saved the endangered science fiction and won the Nobel Prize in Literature for the first time in history. Now, Dongfang Yu vs. the mystery master Endo Jian, the cross-border literary battle that originally had little chance of winning ended in a draw. This means that the Dragon Country Renaissance has begun!"

"The good news one after another is really exciting!"

"Our Longguo science fiction has gradually picked up because of "The Three-Body Problem". The sales of many science fiction works have begun to pick up. Now Dongfang Yu's mystery novels are tied with the first person in the island country. Longguo culture can really go global again!"

"And what's interesting is that both Luoyang and Dongfang Yu are young writers."

"A strong youth means a strong country. This is Luoyang's original words. Now young talents like Luoyang and Dongfang Yu are using their power to pry the progress of civilization!"

Netizens are very excited. This is normal. After all, Longguo seems too mediocre in mystery, science fiction, or the Nobel Prize in Literature. Everyone is always looking forward to the spread of Longguo's culture to the world.

Now, we finally see some hope!

However, compared with the excitement of the people, Dongfang Yu is not happy at all at this moment.

Because the Chinese people don't know that this "Sleep Journey" is a work completed by Dongfang Yu and several friends in the Longguo mystery circle!

It took the combined strength of several people to fight against Endo Mama, and only managed to win a draw. There is nothing to be happy about. Given Endo Mama's personality, he probably won't be satisfied with a draw, so how to fight back next is still a big problem!
