Chapter 642 Nationality Remains a Mystery

Yes, Luoyang is very confident about "A Study in Scarlet".

First of all, the reasoning level of this story itself is very high. Secondly, "A Study in Scarlet" is a Western reasoning, which is more in line with the taste of the Western judges. The third point is that the judges can also see that "A Study in Scarlet" is just the beginning.

Writing a series of reasoning to compete, I believe Westerners will find it very interesting.

Facts have proved that Luoyang's judgment was not wrong. Although "A Study in Scarlet" did not shock the judges, it still passed the first round of the World Reasoning Competition. The RB side advanced with Luoyang, and it was the RB reasoning No. 1, Endo Ma.

This World Reasoning Competition has an extremely strict competition system!

A total of 56 reasoning writers from all over the world participated in the competition, but only 40 people advanced.

Including the other three famous reasoning writers from RB, they were all eliminated in the first round of the competition!

This elimination rate is undoubtedly very shocking. You must know that these reasoning writers who were eliminated in the first round are all famous in the world. Even the three reasoning writers eliminated by RB are all well-known figures in the industry.

So when the results came out, there were naturally doubts.

Because any of these eliminated mystery writers has countless fans.

In the eyes of fans, their favorite writers are outstanding and famous all over the world, so how could they be eliminated in the first round?

There were also many doubts on the RB side, because in addition to Mr. Endo and Mr. Theking, the other three teachers' mystery novel creation level is also ranked among the best in the world, so why were they eliminated in the first round?

It can be said that this is an inevitable result!

And "Aurora Brain" is also well prepared to face doubts from all over the world.

Through the official website, they directly published the works of all contestants on the website platform, and readers from all over the world can read them for free.

Endo's "Bloodsucking", Olivia's "Never Give Up", Mr. Gunn's "Pulley Murder Case", etc., all the entries of the mystery masters can be seen on the Internet, so that the pros and cons are clear at a glance.

The voices of doubt finally faded away quietly with the move of "Aurora Brain".

Of course, there are still some doubts. After all, the tastes of the judges cannot be consistent with those of all readers, so the promotion and elimination of some works still caused some controversy.

For example, the work "Kite" by Long Guo Dongfang Yu was questioned by some readers for having too many loopholes. Another example is the work "Ferryman" by Singaporean author You Kejin, which was also questioned by some readers for plagiarism. In addition, "The Footsteps of Death" by Western writer Gunn was also questioned for being too short, like a micro-novel rather than a mystery...

But in the end, these doubts were still drowned out by more support.

After all, the people of "Aurora Brain" are not fools. They dare to release the works of these writers, which means that they are not afraid of readers' criticism, and it also means that the quality of these works is qualified. For example, if there are loopholes or plagiarism suspicions, they will definitely take these factors into consideration.

After repeated consideration, I still think there is no problem, then there is indeed no problem.

In Longguo, there was a lot of jubilation because of Dongfang Yu's advancement. After all, many people thought that Dongfang Yu's strength would probably be eliminated in the first round because he was the youngest and least experienced mystery writer among all the contestants!

Being young means less experience and also means that his strength is insufficient.

Therefore, Dongfang Yu's advancement made many people have more expectations for him. Some people even imagined that Dongfang Yu would beat all the top mystery writers in the world and win the trophy of the first place in the World Mystery Competition.

Even the News Broadcast praised Dongfang Yu for the second time that day.

"Dongfang Yu, a famous mystery writer in our country, performed well in the World Mystery Novel Competition and successfully advanced to the second round with his work "Kite". Dongfang Yu also received worldwide recognition for the first time. After years of development, our country's mystery has successfully made progress..."

It is rare for the News Broadcast to continuously promote the same writer.

Some people said that Dongfang Yu was able to advance unexpectedly because he was encouraged by all the people before the competition, while Western readers believed that the young writer from Longguo was able to advance because of a mysterious force from the East.

…

The situation in RB was not so encouraging.

RB people no longer continued to discuss the three eliminated writers, after all, the opponents were too strong and there was nothing they could do.

On the contrary, another thing caused a lot of controversy, that is, the background used by Teacher Theking's "A Study in Scarlet"!

No one expected that Teacher Theking's "A Study in Scarlet" would actually use 19th century Britain as the background. You know, mystery writers generally choose their own country as the background for their mystery works, which makes it easier to write.

Few writers would use a country they are not familiar with as the background for their creations.

The background of Teacher Theking's previous works has always been the background of RB's entry this time, but suddenly it changed to 19th century Britain in the West, and the works are full of understanding of the West, which makes many RB readers feel very puzzled.

"Is Teacher Theking deliberately making the game more difficult for himself?"

"If the author's name wasn't written as Teacher Theking, I would even think that "A Study in Scarlet" was a Western work."

"I feel that Teacher Theking is actively adapting to the tastes of Western judges. Although "Aurora Brain" claims that the judges they choose are top connoisseurs from all over the world, I believe that Western works themselves still have advantages, so Teacher Theking's behavior is not difficult to understand."

"It shouldn't be. I don't think Teacher Theking is the kind of writer who deliberately sets up a Western background to cater to the judges!"

"I think so too. I don't know why Teacher Theking seems to know a lot about Baker Street in the UK. Did Teacher Theking live in the UK before? Otherwise, this understanding is too scary."

At first, the discussion was only about RB readers.

But soon, RB media also joined in.

Everyone was full of interest in why Teacher Theking used 19th century Britain as the background.

Of course, at this time, everyone's reaction to this matter was still in the stage of curiosity. It was not until the third day when the results of the reasoning competition came out that the discussion suddenly turned into a huge controversy-

Some people say that Theking is not a RB at all!
