villain gin

Late at night, in Japan, in an unknown house.

The man who was sleeping on the bed stretched out the bed and sat up, reached out and took a cigarette from the bedside to light it, put it in his mouth and inhaled deeply.

The smoke rolled through the lungs and was slowly spit out again, Gin Jiu's frown finally relaxed slightly.

Just now, he encountered... an abnormality that may be described as "assassination".

The soul of a "time traveler" - this title he got from the other party's memory - passed through his body, and then clashed with Gin Jiu's own soul, and was crushed as expected.

Now there are only a few memory fragments and a little personality fragments left in this soul, which are left in Gin Jiu's mind.

It was this little fragment of memory that made Gin realize that he was in a comic world.

The detective kid who just poured aptx4869 into him today is the protagonist of this world. He didn't die, but turned into a primary school student, or a god of death. As for Gin himself, of course he is the villain in the comics.

Those memory fragments are very messy, the state in Qin Jiu's mind is like a memo that has not been sorted out at all, and Qin Jiu has no time to sort it out one by one, he only figured out these parts, because now there is a bigger one Trouble.

Gin smoked deeply again, and then opened his mouth to the air: "So, what are you?"

A cheerful voice sounded in his mind: "Hello host, I am 'Villain Popularity Self-Saving System', and I will serve you wholeheartedly!"

Gin closed his eyes and kept himself calm: "I said, what do you do?"

"Well," said the so-called system happily, "I will help you increase your popularity, thereby consolidating your status and completing your self-help!"

"You just assassinated me with a strange soul," Gin said coldly, "Now you don't want to speak clearly. I can only think that you are malicious to me."

The system was silent for a while, and when he spoke again, his voice became much lower: "I'm sorry..."

It seemed to be ashamed, and although it used the name "system", it behaved very humanely.

Then a translucent screen appeared in front of Gin Jiu's eyes, with some words displayed on it.

"This is my origin and purpose..." the system said dejectedly, "Although I said at first... but... well, I didn't think so much..."

Gin didn't answer it, he read the content carefully and wrote it in great detail, tentatively it can be considered to be about 70.00% authentic.

In short, this system is indeed dedicated to "serving" the villains in those stories. It provides some convenience for the villains and increases the popularity of the villains, and what the villains have to do is to become the most popular character in the work during a certain period of time .

Of course, its usual practice is to select a suitable time traveler from the so-called "material world" to occupy the identity of the villain. Gin can understand this, if the so-called "time traveler" is the same as the one he encountered , is indeed much easier to control.

"So what does this 'most popular over time' mean?" he asked the system.

"That's right," the system sounded a little more energetic, "We will play this world as a new serialized animation in a certain material world, intercept a part of the audience samples, and conduct a popularity vote every once in a while, as long as we get a No. 1, even if it is successful!"

"Just once?" Gin confirmed to the system: It doesn't sound like it's very difficult.

"Yes," the system quickly explained, "Although there are many cases where villains are highly popular, it is rare for them to be number one in popularity. It's even better once!"

"Our voting is generally once a month. According to the time flow ratio between here and the material world, it is once a week for you. There are many opportunities!" it added.

Gin nodded and continued to read the text. This animation called "Detective Conan" has been serialized in its original world for decades, but the world intercepted by the system is not like this now. The animation world The time flow rate of the material world is one week to one month, and the story from the "beginning" (that is, today) to the "end" is one year in the animation world, which is more than four years in the material world.

There will be 52 votes during this period, and there are indeed many opportunities.

Then there are rewards and punishments.

First of all, if the main task, that is, the first vote cannot be completed, it will be obliterated after the end of the animation - Gin clicked on this passage and continued to read.

And every time you vote, if you are in the top ten, you will be rewarded, and if you are in the top [-], you will be punished.

Gin simply scanned the content of "plus and minus points" and returned to the front.

"I'm curious," he stared at the words "Erase", "What do you, or the existence behind you, want from me?"

The system didn't speak, and I don't know if it doesn't want to answer or can't answer.

So Gin continued: "If I am the villain in this story, then no matter whether this so-called 'main mission' is completed or not, I should not be able to survive, and judging from the fact that you brought someone to assassinate me, you also Don't care about my life."

"As long as the main task is completed, you will definitely survive." When the system spoke again, Gin keenly felt that its tone had changed, or in other words, it might not be the same system that spoke.

"Because the character's life is also related to the popularity of the material world, high popularity will bring more possibilities of survival," said the system, "and for us, changes in the villain's popularity and words and deeds will affect World consciousness, consuming it and devouring it is our purpose, when our strength becomes stronger, you will naturally no longer be limited by the world consciousness and die."

Another new term, "world consciousness?"

"Or it can be regarded as a kind of projection of the author in the world," the system explained, "It will affect everyone invisibly, making the world follow the established route. For example, if you want to To kill Edogawa Conan, there must be countless "accidents" blocking you, even if our existence did not block the direct influence of world consciousness for you, you would never have the intention to kill Edogawa Conan idea."

Really thought about killing Edogawa Conan's gin: "..."

"In short, increasing the popularity of the villain is just a method, but it is one of the most convenient methods we have tested," the system continued, "It is also a mutually beneficial thing for you."

Gin glanced at the cigarette that was almost burnt out, and it was dimmed in the ashtray beside the bed, and took out a new one.

"I see," he looked at the translucent screen through the smoke, "and what happens after it's all over?"

"If everything goes well, we will leave after devouring the world consciousness. At that time, you and this world will be free." The system replied affirmatively.

"Okay," Gin shook the ashes, "deal."

"A deal," the voice said with a smile. "Have a good time."

The quiet air remained in this small room for a while, and Gin's thoughts were emptied, and he didn't think about anything at all for a while.

Although he has always acted calmly, even for him, the information he received this night was too much.

Before today he was just a happy badass, doing some badass things, then today he suddenly found out that he was a comic book character, and he was the main villain, and then he immediately learned that he was going to die in a year, save himself The only way is to increase his popularity in the other world.

Why isn't this task given to Belmode?She has more experience.

When the second cigarette was also burned out, the system's voice sounded cautiously: "Host... do you have any questions?"

Now it's the beginning again.

"Give me the details about the popularity vote." Gin lit his third cigarette today - he expected that his cigarette consumption would not be low tonight.

The system moved quickly. Gin turned on the light and found that the clarity of the screen in front of him hadn't changed much. The rules of popularity voting were similar to what the system said at the beginning. There are characters appearing in the animation of the game - this makes it easier to get the ranking.

But Gin is still a little irritable. He is the kind of person who tries his best to keep calm at all times. The agitation is usually because things are out of control. Specifically, Gin doesn't know how to increase his popularity.

In the 30 years that Gin has lived, he has never thought about gaining the favor of anyone. Maybe the boss is counted, but the favor of the boss only needs loyalty and ability. This is the most indispensable thing for Gin. Some people have expressed affection for him, but Gin has never pursued these things by himself, and he even finds it troublesome-not to mention trying to please a group of people from another world.

If he was to complete some assassination mission, Gin Jiu would only need a few minutes to come up with a plan, but how to increase popularity?That's not his domain.

"Host," at this time the system said ai Ai, "Are you thinking... how to increase your popularity?"

Gin didn't deny it, he and it are a cooperative relationship after all: "Yes, what's the matter?"

"That's right," the system said, "Actually, we have ten days to prepare after selecting the traverser. My... former host is also like this. During this time, he has made some plans. Do you want to take a look?"

Although he didn't approve of that fragile time traveler in his heart, since he could be selected, the other party must have some special qualities, Gin Jiu nodded briskly: "Okay."

"If not... hey?" The system was taken aback, and quickly responded happily, "Okay! I'll take it out for you right now!"

As he said that, a piece of paper suddenly appeared in front of Qin Jiu's eyes, with densely packed handwriting written on it.
