Chapter 476 The Lost God (Earth)
"The movie that won the best picture is..."The Battle of Jinling"!"

When award presenter Julia Roberts ("Pretty Woman" and "Ocean's 12") announced that she had won the Golden Lion, the highest honor at the Venice Film Festival, all the guests applauded. This is a well-deserved honor. , this is a positive response to Truman's continuous achievements and efforts in the film field in the past three years, as well as the absurdity of being ignored by major awards.

The Truman became famous at the Venice Film Festival five years ago, and now it has returned to the Venice Film Festival, which can be regarded as a complete reincarnation. Unfortunately, under the great expectations, it was another film that took the honor on stage. A director Feng Zikai.

Where is Truman?

Didn’t Truman come to Lido Island?
This is everyone's question.

After the award ceremony, the police secretly took away several PricewaterhouseCoopers staff members who were responsible for auditing the votes, and soon came up with evidence that they had changed the votes of all the judges. If their cheating methods were followed, this time " "The Battle of Jinling" failed to win, and soon the scandal spread around the world, because PwC took over the counting of votes at almost all major film festivals around the world.

……

Time returns to the same time as the awards ceremony, on the beach facing Venice on Lido Island.

The sand is soft and golden, like a piece of gold spread on the blue sea.

The accountant, or the god of reincarnation, is here with Truman, stepping on the sand and looking at the ocean.

"You've counted the greed of human nature, but you haven't counted the advancement of technology." Truman said, "I was indeed surprised that Lu Linlang betrayed me, but it didn't affect the overall situation. The new technology is enough to make this movie a hit. .”

That's right, a month ago, the box office of "The Battle of Jinling" officially reached 30 billion U.S. dollars, surpassing "Avatar" and becoming the highest-grossing movie in history. However, its final box office stayed at 33 billion U.S. dollars.

Compared to its high cost, although this is not a big hit, related film and television projects, such as the movie city located in the Philippines, and Netflix's streaming media revenue, can already prove that this is a big hit.

In line with the agreement bet between Truman and the accountant.

"The movie was a big hit and won awards." The accountant said, "Starting from the God of Books, this bet agreement was signed. Each god is betting against you, 'Idiot,' using the source world as a chessboard in the field that he is best at. , my fields are 'numbers' and 'destiny', and I am not sensitive to technological progress. If the God of Books were there, I would not miss the key information of technological progress."

"The god of books will miss it too." Truman said, "After all, you have lost your wisdom, only your primitive instincts are left, and you have ceased to be great since you started the 'hybrid' path to prevent mortals from approaching you. "

"Maybe..." the accountant looked at the sea in front of him, "What a beautiful world. Unfortunately, it is not mine after all. Now it is yours."

"It's not mine either." Truman said.

Um?The accountant looked at Truman suspiciously.

"I will return to the lower-dimensional world with you." Truman said again, "and completely strip away the mystery from this world."

"Why?" The accountant felt strange, "If you stay here, the whole world will be yours, because your path to becoming a god has connected the source world and the low-dimensional world. When you look from the source world to the low-dimensional world, you occupy the commanding heights. , none of us are your opponents."

Truman looked at the accountant and smiled: "Your reaction proves that my decision is right. Mystery is pollution. We are polluting the earth. I may become a god, but I am definitely not the only one. You six gods will follow one after another. Swelling out of that channel and turning the earth into a battlefield, right?"

"There is another possibility..." the accountant didn't finish.

"Don't worry about reminding me. Of course I also know this possibility. I stay on the earth, cut off the passage, and become the only god, but there are people waiting for me in the low-dimensional world." Truman said, "It is her belief. Only then can I be resurrected."

"I'm stupid, I'm stupid." The accountant shook his head and sighed, "I'm stupid at the same time."...

Truman disappeared.

Everyone who got the news was shocked and couldn't understand it.

What does disappear mean?
Obviously, disappear means "to disappear".

On Caddo Island, no one has seen Truman since the Venice Film Festival award ceremony. Truman was not found in the surveillance videos entering and leaving the island, and his name was not on the flight leaving Venice. In short, on From that moment on, Truman, a name that had created miracles in the history of world cinema, completely turned into a symbol and no longer consisted of living flesh and blood.

Many people are looking for Truman like crazy, but can't find any trace. This is simply crazy. A living person, a famous director, a man known as the god of the film industry, just disappeared?

He didn't believe it.

They don't believe it.

Everyone doesn't believe it.

The search target was expanded, and the entire Adriatic Sea was included in the scope. Countless fish-eating believers flocked here from all over the world to join the search team. They rummaged through every grain of sand on Caddo Island, and then they began to wake up. .

I don’t know where it started when I woke up. It was roughly early one morning when the homeless people who were crowded on the beach of Lido Island were exhausted from the search all night yesterday. In this cold morning, I hope As the morning glow rises over the sea, a sense of clarity about where I am is pouring into my brain like rain.

This kind of sobriety is accompanied by a kind of loss. When they become sober, they also lose the meaning of life. They don’t know who to start from. Crying and tears covered their faces. Everyone has a clear understanding, that is: God is gone. God no longer favors them.

This is a sad morning. The believers regained their selves, but lost everything. The great sadness surged like a surging tide. The sense of desolation is so deadly. Fortunately, they have a group to rely on, but From that day on, every October, a large number of believers who once had happiness would return to Caddo Island to remember their lost god.

Sobriety also swept over the Fish Eating crew.

The first one to wake up was Lu Jieyu, then Feng Zikai, Lin Yuhang, Lin Xiaoding, Xing Shuwen... Recalling the process of getting along with Truman, they even doubted whether it was a part of their lives, but it was indeed, although it was already. Sober, but their talents are still there, which is the gift Truman left to them.

Lu Linlang and Ting Jun are the two people in the Fish Eating crew who have not become believers. The reason why Lu Linlang cannot become a believer is not because she is not smart enough, but because she always has doubts in her heart. Truman’s forgiveness for her is The gifts she received.

The only one who did not receive a gift was Ting Jun.

After the hopeless search ended, on the beach of Caddo Island, people began to miss Truman like a legendary and famous director, instead of frantically looking for their god like a group of desperate believers, people covered the beach with flowers , and then left with memories.

Feng Zikai and others also left.

Only Ting Jun looked at the ebb and flow of the sea, and she remembered the wish she made with Truman that day:
"I wish you were always here."

　I will write a few more chapters of Alien Tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow I will start writing the story of Truman’s resurrection.
