Fang Wen's hair was messed up, and there was stubble on his chin. He didn't even go home last night, so he slept on the sofa in the office.

"Maybe." Fang Wen rubbed his eyes, his voice was tired, "I don't know how far this matter will ferment."

"Let's talk about it. After all, the canned octopus didn't do anything—he didn't directly attack Shidu Qianqian, nor did he plagiarize Shidu Qianqian, and he didn't necessarily instruct his fans to send the urn," Zhang said. Li rested her chin on the back of the chair, and said doubtfully, "Although it is said that he was expelled from school because of plagiarism, there is no real hammer... Why are those netizens so angry? Is there any need to scold people like that? "

Fang Wen shook his head: "It's not the worst thing to scold him."

"Oh, yes, give him back the negative, it seems that someone has reported his pornography..."

"It doesn't matter. In fact, it doesn't matter." Fang Wen drank the coffee in his cup and frowned. "These things on the Internet always come and go... A person who can insist on cursing canned octopus for a month may not be able to persist." After scolding him for a year, when they have scolded enough, they will gradually forget these things. Even if the canned hairtail is really plagiarized, as long as he pays the corresponding price, he... is not guilty of death."

"Hey, that's what I said," Zhang Li raised her eyebrows, "It's not like you, it's like Mr. Xu."

"The worst thing is that they forced him to close his pen," Fang Wen said earnestly, "An author who writes about the Internet... If he closes his pen, he is dead."

Zhang Li: "...so exaggerated?"

"For example, if an excellent and serious writer stops writing, there are many other ways for him to continue participating in literature. For example, he can go to the university to teach writing courses, write his own creative talks, and write literature. Comments, these behaviors are recognized by the public... But for the vast majority of Internet authors, if they don’t write, they have nothing to do with literature.”

"You..." Zhang Li clicked her tongue, "Isn't what you said too extreme?"

Fang Wen: "In other words, the Internet has given them the opportunity to gain everyone's attention and love through writing as ordinary people. But if they stop writing...they will be forgotten soon, To be forgotten is to die."

"Okay, even if that's the case, don't those plagiarized authors deserve what they deserve?"

"No," Fang Wen flatly denied, "They should pay the price, such as financial compensation, such as an apology, such as Suowen... These are all reasonable. Another example is that an author plagiarized, everyone scolded him, he No one will read it again, which is reasonable. But no one has the right to deprive others of their creative freedom, even if this person is a plagiarist. Because we cannot use what a person has written to deny that he has not yet written s things."

"Oh...so you mean, their most egregious thing is to withdraw the seal pen from bī canned octopus?"

Fang Wen nodded, and after a few seconds, he laughed at himself again: "But what's the use of me saying this? Everyone speaks for money, and I can't stop anyone."

The public opinion was still fermenting. Throughout the morning, Zhang Li kept receiving calls from various media. Some wanted to contact Shidu Qianqian and Canned Hairtail, while others wanted the next best thing to be interviewed by the person in charge of Weilan.

Zhang Li declined all these interviews. However, when she got off work at 24:[-], an independent news writer suddenly posted a long article on Weibo: "Carnival and bàonüè behind the screen | Personal experience" female writer of online literature was sent ashes Box "[-] Hours of Events".

Zhang Li and Fang Wen looked at each other, and from each other's eyes, they heard a "click" from the heart.

Xu Yihan looked at the densely packed black characters on the screen, expressionless.

"Mr. Xu, it's the third day, should we go out and do some public relations?" Zhang Li panicked, "This report is too detailed and targeted."

None of them expected that although the three parties involved in the incident did not make any further responses, and even though Wei Lan refused all interviews, the media with great powers still found a breakthrough.

This long article interviewed a fan of canned hairtail.

During the interview, the fan under the pseudonym "Xiao Si" claimed that she watched other fans of canned hairtail planning and implementing the whole process of "sending an urn to Shidu Qianqian": First, this plan was organized by the Canned Hairtail Support Club One of the core members of the website proposed, "She said that the ten-degree fans are too shameless, and she should send an urn to scare her, let her know that we are not at the mercy of others... Anyway, you can leave the courier Real name.” Afterwards, the four members of the support club decided to implement this plan together, “It’s actually not difficult to find Shidu Qianqian’s address. Shidu Qianqian received gifts from fans before, so ask more about her address. Just inquire."... More importantly, "Xiao Si" emphasized that all contacts were made in the small group of the Canned Hairtail Support Club. There were only a dozen or so core fans in this small group, and the I am among them.

"...Mr. Xu," Zhang Li said tremblingly, "Many big Vs have reposted this report. Just now the technical department said that too many people scolded him under the column of canned octopus, and the server was about to be crushed. They I have no choice but to close the column of canned hairtail first.”

Fang Wen murmured: "The canned hairtail is really over this time."

As soon as this report came out, netizens became even more excited. Canned octopus changed from the previous crime of "unrestraining fans" to "default fan human threat".Just 10 minutes later, a new tag of #Canned Hairtail Illegal# was swiped to the 33rd hot search list.At this time, nearly 39 hours had passed since Qianqian posted on Weibo at [-]:[-]:[-] on Tuesday night that the urn had been sent.

For nearly 39 hours, this sudden Internet turmoil intensified at a speed like viral reproduction, and after sending out two Weibo posts on Tuesday night, Shidu Qianqian never responded.On the other side, canned hairtail and Donaldson, who were also at the center of the vortex, remained silent from beginning to end.But inevitably, their silence is regarded as evasion and acquiescence by netizens.

At 56:[-], @十度千千后报会 issued a statement: "Thank you for your support. We believe that although justice may be late, it will never be absent."

At twelve o'clock sharp, to everyone's surprise and unpreparedness, @Donaldson posted a video.

The video begins with a young man in a wheelchair.

He was wearing simple black sneakers, black sweatpants, and a white shirt. The buttons of the shirt were tightly buttoned, extending neatly below his Adam's apple.

He has a sharp face, pale complexion, sharp jaw, long and straight nose, and a pair of dark pupils, even through the lens, there is still a cold air escaping.

He was sitting upright in a wheelchair, with his fingers crossed on his lower abdomen, and his back was straight.

His first words: "I'm Donaldson."

Everyone in front of the screen was suffocating.

His second sentence: "From chapter 34 onwards, "The Man Upstairs" is written with canned hairtail."

Long Li's face turned pale.

He continued: "For four years, due to cowardice and evasion, I have been afraid to admit the following facts, but today, I must confess my faults and crimes: Four years ago, in [-], I started working in Howard. Sheng Wenxue serialized "The Man Upstairs", the hero of this book is a disabled person, and I am also a disabled person," Zhao Xin paused when he said this, his eyes were fixed on the camera, his gaze Ru Dao, "So to a certain extent, the hero of this film is based on myself. In July [-], due to some setbacks in my life, I decided to stop updating "The Man Upstairs" .At that time, Canned Hairtail was my reader. He begged me not to give up this book, but I refused. Not long after, he started to continue writing "The Man Upstairs" in the post bar, and completed this book. So now it is on the Internet The rumored "The Man Upstairs" with the three words "Donaldson" in the name was actually written by me and canned hairtail. For four years, I have not publicly clarified this matter and obliterated another author of this book. It's my first crime."

"My second charge was in the summer of [-]. When I found out that Canned Hairtail had quietly finished writing "The Man Upstairs", I was very, very angry and vented this incompetent anger on him. " Zhao Xin's tone was extremely calm, and he stated what happened that year like an anatomy, "I instructed my support club members to take revenge on the canned hairtail. "The Man on the Road" was sent to his school, and at the same time, a letter was attached to the package, slandering the plagiarism of the canned hairtail. Because of this incident, the canned hairtail was expelled from school."

Both Zhang Li's lips were trembling: "He—it turned out to be him—"

"This is an unforgivable crime that I have carried on for four years. What I have done has caused irreparable harm to canned hairtail. I am willing to accept all criticism, accusations or abuse for this. At the same time, I want to explain that, Canned Hairtail's "President I'm Really Wrong" did not copy "The Man Upstairs", because that book was written by him and me. He just reshaped the hero he once shaped and gave him a new one. The value and significance. From the beginning to the end, canned hairtail has not copied anyone."
