Brother Dao Took the Entertainment Industry by Storm, Fans Beg Me Not to Kill Anymore

Chapter 659: The End of "Corner Also's" Story — Everyone's Death Notice

In the days when "Corner Also" the comic finished, Xiao He was still busy with intense training, preparing for the "Imperial Enterprise" audition.

So he had absolutely no idea that after the grand finale came out, Jiao Dai had already been roasted into trending on Hot Search, forcing him to quickly draw a few bonus chapters showing everyone's warm daily life in a parallel world, basically handing out some sugar in disguise to cheer everyone up.

But after seeing those warm daily scenes, everyone became even angrier, seriously suspecting that Jiao Dai was provoking them.

So Jiao Dai got hung up on Hot Search again.

Well, that's also the inevitable accident that every knife-wielding author must go through.

Xiao He hastily skimmed through the ending and felt his blood pressure spike a little. At that moment, just like countless netizens online, he genuinely wanted to throw a sack over Jiao Dai's head.

The final chapter was basically a memory kill of all the big knives—

In a fleeting memorial scene, readers could see Wu Wu's tribesmen, also dressed in distinctive folk costumes, coming to pay their respects.

From the earlier story, it was known that these people's ancestors were all picked up by Wu Wu, and they were proof of her life in Cloud Village. She had led her tribespeople through wars, brought wealth to everyone, and guided them out of the mountains—all traces of her having once lived.

Switching to the next panel, it showed a group of young fans dressed vibrantly, holding flowers and gift boxes. It hardly needed guessing that these were fans accumulated during Evan's days as an idol. Even though Evan had only briefly appeared in their lives, the fans still firmly remembered that fleeting young star and came to pay their respects on special days, offering their once-passionate devotion.

Every special day, it seemed especially lively here.

A little girl, dragged along to give flowers to Yin Lan, turned her head to look at the nameless marker beside her, a look of confusion on her face.

Both puzzled as to why this grave had no name, and also why no one came to visit him on such a day.

"Mommy, he's so pitiful—"

The little girl shook her mother's hand.

"Shh, don't say things like that here."

The mother quickly covered the little girl's mouth.

"First, give your flowers to Grandma Yin."

"Okay."

The little girl withdrew her gaze from the nameless marker and began to follow the adult's rules obediently, even though she might not yet understand what death meant.

But as she was led away by the hand, she gently placed a small white flower in front of that nameless grave.

—A symbol of a little girl's pure kindness and compassion.

Finally, a group of people turned and walked toward the cemetery's exit.

The comic panel focused on the side of the graveyard, capturing the lonely grave, the single small white flower, and the departing figures of the crowd.

Then, a gust of wind blew—

That small white flower, bearing the symbol of kindness and compassion, was swept away by the wind, completely disappearing before the nameless tombstone, as if an invisible hand had impatiently brushed aside someone else's pity, leaving the space before the grave empty once more, with nothing.

As if, until the very end, that person still remained utterly indifferent to everything in the world, never repenting even in death.

That was Yin Qi's arrogance and stubbornness.

And also his final calculation—death would only return them to the same embrace.

As for other external things, Yin Qi had always dismissed them with contempt...

...

All that could be said about this ending was that the original work fans each had their own way of crying.

As a comic story with a large ensemble cast, every character had fans who adored them, and the main team members who had died one after another naturally left regrets. Seeing this scene, the fans cried uncontrollably. Even a pure villain like Yin Qi had a large number of devoted fans, which meant that the finale set against the cemetery backdrop was as miserable as a family visiting graves.

Of course, there were also more rational bloggers who analyzed that such an ending was already the best outcome for most people, especially for Yin Lan, who had wanted nothing more from the start than to spend her final years peacefully and end her life smoothly. For her, death like this was her ultimate dream. Even for a lunatic like Yin Qi, being buried with his sister was his happiness.

But those who had accompanied them through it all still couldn't hold back their grief.

Clearly, everyone had hoped that Yin Lan and the others would find happiness in the end, but the happiness they found was different from what everyone understood.

It was like what Yin Qi once said: "Obviously, the test subjects had long lives to accept death, yet in the end, they still couldn't face death calmly."

Through the story of "Corner Also," Jiao Dai narrated the final tumultuous and splendid adventure of a group of test subjects at the end of their lives, exploring the value of life, the length of lifespan, and the ideals of existence. He taught everyone to accept death, to cherish life, and to face the end of every story with composure, even if everything wasn't perfect...

But when the story truly reached its end, it was the spectators outside the story who couldn't face it calmly.

Before, everyone had been urging Jiao Dai to update cheerfully. Now that they were all in the same cemetery, the readers were truly heartbroken, wishing they could drag Jiao Dai out and chop him to pieces.

Even Yuan Sitong, who had always pretended to disdain Yan Shaohan and constantly pressured him to update but was actually a comic fan, directly posted an announcement, sending a whole warehouse's worth of knives to Jiao Dai through the air, scaring Yan Shaohan into posting countless apologies on Moments.

Meanwhile, another person who had probably long been forgotten but had never changed his identity as a comic fan, Zhuang Hongyi, also posted a rant on Moments and blacklisted Yan Shaohan. Currently, all communication was handled through the Assistant Director, Fan Congwen.

Faced with this patron senior brother, Yan Shaohan could only double-down on his humble apologies, begging Zhuang Hongyi to still "love" him.

After all, the future film and television adaptation rights for "Corner Also" Season Three were still in Zhuang Hongyi's hands, and the whole situation depended on Zhuang Hongyi's investment!

Zhuang Hongyi didn't say anything, just posted a death smile emoji on Moments.

So Fan Congwen dutifully relayed it to Yan Shaohan again.

Seeing that emoji, Yan Shaohan suddenly felt like the whole world was against him: ...I think China isn't safe right now. Maybe I should go abroad to lie low for a while.

Yan Shaohan felt that, with this trend, he couldn't go out for a while, or he'd risk getting beaten to death.

...

Xiao He finally caught up on all the things he had missed online and couldn't help but laugh bitterly, but he also had a lingering grudge.

He heard that Yan Shaohan had already blacklisted many people to save his own skin, so Xiao He tentatively sent him a red envelope.

[Xiao He: [Here's a red envelope for you]]

[Yan Shaohan: ??? Good brother, I knew I wasn't wrong about you! In the past few days, you're the only one who didn't come to curse me out, and the only one who remembered to send me a red envelope for the finale!]

[Yan Shaohan: Boohoo, so touching.]

[Yan Shaohan received your red envelope]

[Yan Shaohan: ? 0.01?]

Xiao He took a deep breath and revealed a wicked smile.

Perfect, Yan Shaohan hadn't blocked him.

So...

Xiao He opened his computer and placed both hands on the keyboard, preparing for what was to come—so he wouldn't be limited by typing on his phone—

On the other side of the chat, Yan Shaohan suddenly shivered.

Eh, how strange. Why did Xiao He suddenly go silent?

Haha, it couldn't be that he was writing a long essay to curse him out, right?

Haha, probably not, right?

Ha, ha...
