Infinite Terror: Infinite Reversal

Chapter 357 Control
In the dimly lit room, the man's face was illuminated by the computer screen, but his expression was incredibly blank, as if he were shocked by something.

Evenings are a good time for writing, especially for writing sensationalist stories that only require following the trends on the forums... Well, to be fair, his fanfiction isn't particularly sensational in today's community. Aside from catering to attention-grabbing power-ups and incorporating some groundbreaking wisdom, many of the settings are quite faithful to the original work.

The fanfiction community for "Infinite Terror" isn't exactly dead, it's just that it's never really been popular. Only a few individual novels ever truly become popular—regardless of whether they receive praise or criticism—not the entire community.

He felt that the fanfiction community had no future, but being able to make some money by writing mindless stuff wasn't a bad thing.

Want to stand out? It's easy. Many readers are tired of the lackluster performance of the Central Continent Team. Changing the team's story will generate buzz. However, the less a team is described in the original work, the more original it becomes…

What a joke! If he could create original content, would he need to follow trends, eat shit, and create filth while writing fanfiction to make money?
So he turned his attention to the Demon Team, which was featured prominently in the original story and was arguably second only to the Central Continent Team in importance... Moreover, the character relationships were already established, so there was no need for much originality.

Unfortunately, he couldn't come up with anything new, so he could only criticize hypocrisy in the name of the Demon Team... But just saying that the Central Continent Team is hypocritical doesn't seem to hold water, and probably only a small number of people who like to sing a different tune can agree with it.

What should we do then...? How about creating a transmigrator, having him die in the Central Continent Team when he's weak, and having him unleash a burst of power like Luo Gandao before his death, so that he can be copied into the Demon Team with resentment?
That makes sense, doesn't it?
Given his weak thinking ability, creating a completely original character would be extremely difficult. So, he simply had the protagonist's soul transmigrate into Li Xiaoyi's body, which would both reduce the number of minor characters and still meet the requirement.

After all, Li Xiaoyi was abandoned by Zheng Zha and the others in front of several aliens, and died with his eyes wide open in disbelief.

He decided to start writing right away. After briefly looking at the plot about the Demon Team, he prepared to begin.

What, you say you can't remember the settings?
It's okay, the readers won't remember anyway. There's a lot of misinformation going around, and the forums aren't full of people analyzing rumors with great expertise.
What? You're saying the horror movie plot of Team Devil wasn't written in the original work?
It's okay, no one actually watches old movies anyway, so why would anyone read a fanfiction? I'll just write whatever comes to mind.

What? You're saying it's hard to write a clone of Chu Xuan?

It's okay, since the original work couldn't have written it anyway. It's all just setting and imagination, right? Besides, Chu Xuan isn't the protagonist. The protagonist just needs to kneel down and beg for mercy, leak information, and become a lackey. In my script, Chu Xuan is an omniscient and omnipotent god. Do you dare to question that?
And so, he began writing this fan fiction featuring the Devil Team as the main characters...

The story begins with Li Xiaoyi not waking up on a cold, swaying train, but in a square... It turns out that he was abandoned by Zheng Zha and others, and before being torn apart by the aliens, he unlocked his genetic lock with resentment, thus being copied into the Demon Team.

As a time traveler, he naturally needs to have some special abilities, such as being fast at unlocking locks... These days, even the lock-picking ability in "Alien" is criticized for being too slow.

But even the author didn't expect that there would be someone in the demon team who liked boys... Wait, right, didn't the "Primordial Era" mention that there was a guy named Lauros in the demon team who was more interested in men? Although Li Xiaoyi is not as good as male elves, it seems that he has also run into trouble.

Then let's just let Li Xiaoyi suffer the ultimate humiliation. Doesn't that cater to the hobbies of the "Magnetic Field Madman" in the "Infinite Terror" fanfiction circle? Although we "Magnetic Field Little Ghosts" have neither read the original "Infinite Terror" novel nor those Hong Kong comics, let alone figured out the conversion between pics and watts, we can't even recognize all the traditional Chinese characters, but that doesn't stop us from being insensitive and making fun of others everywhere! Catering to us is extremely beneficial!

And so the story continued. Well, since we can't let Li Xiaoyi go, it seems we can't let the clone Zheng Zha go either, right?

After all, the clone Zheng Zha has already enhanced his vampire bloodline and is also exceptionally handsome... Lauros can't beat up other vampire powerhouses in the Demon Team, such as Reinhardt, but beating up this meat pig is still possible, right?
It seems that because the author's writing skills were too poor, he could only focus on Li Xiaoyi, and at most Zheng Zha. So when describing the tragic experiences of Li Xiaoyi and Zheng Zha, Loli was completely forgotten... It wasn't until the origin story was finished that the author remembered that Loli hadn't been persecuted by the demon team!

"Oh no, this part of the story should have been over by the time Li Xiaoyi appeared... I forgot to write this, and it's too late to add a sentence now, so let's just pretend it never happened!"

"For example, the clone Zheng Zha had a sudden inspiration and pushed Loli into the room. He was beaten half to death and even hacked, but at least he saved his lover..."

After finishing writing it, he felt a little regretful... The forum had already evolved to the point where transmigrators created loli NTR Zheng Zha, but he had forgotten about this part and wasted a gimmick.

As the author was creating, he felt himself getting into the zone more and more... He had never discovered that he had any creative talent, and at the beginning, he even spent an entire afternoon struggling with the first chapter and had to use AI to correct grammatical errors; but after that, he seemed to no longer have this problem!

As if guided by the star of literature, he wrote with divine assistance. He only needed to touch the keyboard, and the plot would flow smoothly and develop all the way... Even though he hadn't figured out all the descriptions of the Demon Team, nor had he seen "Friday the 2th Part II" or "Predator," the plots of horror movies and the Reincarnation Squad were written smoothly just like that.

"Could it be that the Wenchang Star that my mother made me pray to during the college entrance exam has finally worked its magic?" He was so puzzled that he forgot he was at most a literary prostitute.

Of course, these smoothly written plots wouldn't entirely meet his expectations... It seemed his conscious and subconscious minds had separated; many details were written naturally without his conscious thought or awareness. For example, the clone Zheng Zha was no longer the gloomy and violent figure from the original work, but rather, like the clone Zheng Zha in "The Primordial Era," he had a cheerful demeanor, occasionally revealing a clear-eyed foolishness...

For example, the schemes of the clone Chu Xuan will naturally appear and be revealed, without the author having to rack his brains to conceive and explain them... Of course, this bespectacled man is still just as terrifying.

For example, Li Xiaoyi, the clone of the protagonist, always harbors a deep hatred for the Zhongzhou Team. The author doesn't need to emphasize this, which makes the author wonder what Li Xiaoyi went through in the Zhongzhou Team... Could there be some strange man in the Zhongzhou Team?

For example, even though he had never read the original novel of "The Legend of the Swordsmen of Shushan" or its various film and television adaptations, and he did not deliberately let Li Xiaoyi use his cheat ability, the Demon Team still managed to obtain the Netherworld Blood Sea Formation, one of the ten great formations in Shushan, in a logical manner. Although it was only a part of it, it was still quite useful for the Reincarnation Team.

But today, that smooth, almost diarrhea-like feeling of the plot... has disappeared!

This is clearly a crucial battle for any fanfiction related to Team Central and Team Devil, a test that Resident Evil 2 can never avoid... The reputation of a fanfiction is also greatly related to this point in time.

He realized something was wrong when the Demon Team entered the horror movie... Why did the Demon Team enter the horror movie first? Could it be that the Central Continent Team is stronger than the Demon Team?

When the clone Chu Xuan easily took over the Umbrella Corporation and then sent people to pick up Angie, he sighed with admiration. As expected of Chu Xuan, he had simply changed the rescuers from members of the Demon Team to cannon fodder of the Umbrella Corporation, and the Demon Team went from being exhausted to being able to wait and rest.

The Demons only need to sit in the Umbrella Corporation and wait for the Middle Continent team to appear.

However, the unusual fact that the demon team entered the horror movie first also made the author very concerned... The vague feeling before reached its peak at this moment.

He suddenly felt that the document in front of him was completely unfamiliar, as if he was no longer the author... he was just a writer.

When the Central Continent team arrived, he saw several unfamiliar people inside... Could it be that there were multiple fourth-tier members inside, which would be enough to overpower the Demon team?

But it's alright, he still has Chu Xuan… The Demon Team's mental controller easily scanned the Central Continent Team's situation, and everything was analyzed. However, he also noticed Chu Xuan and Li Xiaoyi's concerns: Zhang Jie might still be alive!

I must find a clue... and then let the Demon Team know. The author thought to himself.

As the classic love-hate relationship between Zhang Heng and Ming Yanwei unfolded, the author, feeling somewhat bored, opened a bag of snacks, typed on the keyboard with one hand, and wondered how Zhang Heng would die this time.

Should we also criticize scumbags? Forget it, this is a male-oriented novel, let's not offend anyone... the author muttered.

The next moment, the impact of the telekinetic floating cannon seemed to pierce through the screen, knocking the snacks out of his hand.

How could this be! Which Zhang Heng is this?!
He stared blankly at the screen, his fingers trembling uncontrollably. He forced his gaze back, wanting to see what the people from the Central Continent team had to say…

"Ming Yanwei might be a great asset in your eyes... capable of easily crippling one of our key combatants?" the bespectacled boy said. "But unfortunately, the Zhongzhou team has never had Ming Yanwei... and your reliance on the clone Chu Xuan is obvious."

"But wouldn't taking away from the original setting backfire on the author?" The boy pushed up his glasses. "Since the Central Continent Team doesn't have Ming Yanwei, where did you copy Ming Yanwei from?"

How could this be? He scrolled up and confirmed that he had already written down Ming Yanwei's reasons for seeking revenge against the Zhongzhou team... The delete button was right below his finger, but he hesitated to press it, as if he was being rejected by some force.

He could neither delete the already published content nor the questions about where Ming Yanwei had copied it from!

At that moment, his control over the story... vanished.
