Chapter 918 How do these two work together?
Xitlari said with a serious face: "According to the discussion among Yaedo readers a month ago, some readers suspected that the Landon Ricketts in Yingying of The Two Gunslingers was the protagonist of The Gunslinger from Fontaine!"
When Shao Yun heard this, he was stunned on the spot. Although the prototypes of these two characters are both himself, is this right?
"The shadow of The Two Gunslingers and The Gunslinger from Fontaine? How did they connect?"
Sitali began to talk about the plot of the last two volumes of the book "The Gunslinger from Fontaine".
"Because, you see, the end of the Sumeru chapter is the revelation that the protagonist, under the enlightenment of a wise woman from the Sumeru Desert, combined with his 'love' experience with Inazuma, began to reveal his life story."
"Next, the Fontaine chapter will reveal the protagonist's life story."
"The protagonist 'Huoyun' is from the slums of Fontaine Grey River. The reason why he became a killer was because he had a gunfight with eleven assassins under his enemy 'Bad Judge' at the Harwood Cafe. He was wanted by the Fontaine officials and fled to another place."
"In the underground Grey River, everyone calls the protagonist a hero, but the upper class people in the upper town of Fontaine call the protagonist 'Harwood Butcher'!"
"Afterwards, the protagonist, who had been hiding for a long time, took advantage of the fact that the Fontaine officials relaxed their arrest warrant for him and sneaked back to seek revenge on his enemies."
"On the way to revenge on his enemies, the protagonist met the detective 'Clinde' of the Fontaine Guard. Clinde knew that Shao Yun's enemy was a bad judge who framed him because he coveted his family's estate! He lured him into committing murder."
"So Detective Clinde helped Shao Yun and fought violence with violence!"
"Finally, the final battle broke out, and the protagonist fought against the bad judge's men alone. In the end, the protagonist, who was seriously injured, hanged the bad judge."
"The protagonist also passed away the moment the righteous detective 'Clinde' arrived."
"Finally, thanks to the efforts of Detective Clinde, the High Inquisitor of Fontaine rescinded the warrant for his arrest."
At this point, Sitrali's mouth was dry. After taking a big gulp of juice, she lifted her excitement and shouted:
"But this is not the end. In the Easter egg chapter at the end, the protagonist did not die in the final battle, but survived. He faked his death and was reborn with the help of detective 'Klind'."
"In the end, the protagonist looked at his own tombstone and lit a cigarette. He then changed his name and lived in seclusion in the wilderness of Fontaine. He did not come out again until the timeline of "The Two Gunslingers"!"
"So, Huoyun is Landon Ricketts!"
After listening to Xitlal's explanation, Shao Yun found it very logical at first glance.
But a key issue is that the authors of these two books are not the same person!
"These two authors are different. How did you connect them?"
Xitrali pointed to the Easter egg chapter at the end of the book and said, "Because the Easter egg of the Fontaine ending of "The Gunslinger from Fontaine" is that the protagonist survived."
"Besides, there are only a few people who are good at shooting. Landon Ricketts in The Two Gunmen must be him!"
Shao Yun looked at the Easter egg chapter that Xitlari was pointing at with a look of suspicion, and when he saw that it was true, he started to complain.
"Ah? What on earth did that Yaedo author named 'Junkichi' write... Can you please stop randomly digging foreshadowings?"
At this time, Xitila Li said a little discouraged: "Well, if I could see the movie, all my guesses would definitely be revealed."
"It's a pity that you can't buy Fontaine-produced film in Nata now..."
When it comes to movie film, Xitila feels as if a sore spot has been stabbed, and she feels extremely uncomfortable.
She grabbed her hair frantically and complained, "Ahhh, this feeling of being neither up nor down is really too torturous!"
Shao Yun looked at Xitila Li who was in a state of madness in front of him, and said in confusion: "What does this have to do with anything? But if you want to watch a movie, I happen to have some film here..."
Upon hearing this, Xitrali seemed to have been given a shot of cardiotonic and became more energetic.
She changed her previous mischievous look, looked at Shao Yun expectantly, and asked anxiously: "Do you have the film of Yingying?"
Shao Yun nodded and answered truthfully: "Of course..."
Xitlari jumped up from her seat, rushed to Shao Yun, stretched out her hand and grasped Shao Yun's wrist tightly like an iron clamp.
"Let's go! Let's go to my house and put on a movie!"
Shao Yun looked at the little grandmother in front of him who was so excited that she was a little out of control. He never thought that his casual mention of the movie film would lead to such consequences.
Shao Yun recalled the reason why he came here. He was obviously here to inquire about the location of his ranch...
But now he was forced by Xitlal to go to the movie screening, which completely deviated from his plan.
"No, why should I play a movie for you!"
Shao Yun tried to break free from Xitela's hand and protested: "I remember now, I came to ask you about the location of the ranch."
However, Xitela Li seemed to turn a deaf ear to Shao Yun's words. She still held Shao Yun's arm tightly and said coquettishly with a frown:
"Just let me finish watching the movie, and I'll tell you after that. Let's go first!"
Shao Yun had a helpless look on his face. He could not resist Xitlalli's insistence, so he had to stand up from the chair reluctantly, still muttering to himself.
"Hey, if I had known I wouldn't have said it..."
……
Just like that, Shao Yun was dragged out of the room by Xitlari and walked towards her home.
After that, it was Xitrali riding her flying pillow and Shao Yun riding a horse.
Along the way, Shao Yun seemed a little absent-minded, his thoughts still on the issue of where to find the ranch.
Not long after, he arrived at Xitlalli's home.
As soon as they entered the door, Xitela Li warmly invited Shao Yun to come in and said, "Please come in, please come in, treat this place as your own home."
Although Shao Yun was extremely reluctant and even rolled his eyes, he still suppressed his inner resistance out of politeness and said, "Thank you for inviting me to your home..."
After that, Sitrali walked quickly to her kitchen.
She stood in front of the refrigerator, rubbed her hands, and an excited smile appeared on her face.
"Let me see if there is anything delicious in the refrigerator that Sinoning built for me..."
Shao Yun followed behind Xitlari, and his eyes were also attracted by the so-called "phlogiston refrigerator".
He came forward curiously and asked in confusion: "What is this? A phlogiston refrigerator? Was it made by Sinonin?"
Xitlari turned around and answered as a matter of course: "Yes, there is also a phlogiston desk lamp! By the way, remember to turn off the lights when you watch the movie later..."
Shao Yun didn't know how to comment after listening to Xitlari's words. Could Xinoning really be the reincarnation of Hephaestus, the god of fire and craftsmen who was killed by Kui Tuzi?
Now, all of Nata's technological points are really focused on Sinoning alone.
……
While Xitlari was preparing snacks to eat during the movie, Shao Yun started to get busy in Xitlari's living room.
He skillfully set up the screen and then carefully adjusted the projector to make sure everything was ready.
Xitrali made herself a large cup of "granular fruit drink". This non-alcoholic drink was also her favorite.
Then she took out a bucket of fragrant popcorn and placed it on the softly cushioned stone bench next to the stone dining table in the living room.
After everything was ready, Xitelali shouted excitedly: "Yohoo! Let's go to the movies! Mr. Shao Yun, are you ready?"
Shao Yun heard Xitela's cry and replied, "Whatever, I can do anything..."
As he spoke, he completed the last step of debugging.
Just as the movie was about to start, Shao Yun recalled a series of events that happened today.
He couldn't help but sigh: "My role change today is so fast! First I was a silver miner, then a postman, and now I'm a movie projectionist..."
Before Shao Yun could finish his sigh, the film in the projector began to slowly rotate and the movie officially began to show.
Xitrali watched the opening animation of Yingying with great anticipation, but after just a few seconds, she screamed in surprise.
"That's not right. Why is the opening different from the image described in the reader discussion? Where's the Gungun Pictures logo?"
"What does this Fontainebleau 'version intégrale du réalisateur' mean?"
Although Shao Yun was illiterate and could not understand Fontainebleau, the words Xavier had said to him vaguely emerged in his mind. The film in his hand was the director's cut.
"I remember Xavier saying, is this the director's cut? Maybe it's different from the regular version."
After hearing this, Xitila muttered thoughtfully: "Xavier...director's cut..."
Suddenly, she seemed to realize something important.
"You actually know the boss of Gunrairie Pictures, Xavier?" Sitrali looked at Shao Yun who was sitting next to her in shock.
Shao Yun didn't understand why she was so excited, so he nodded calmly and confirmed, "Yes, what's wrong?"
However, Sitrali's mood became more and more excited. She imitated Paimon and lifted her feet unconsciously, shouting ecstatically:
"Ahhh! That's great, I made a profit, I made a profit!"
Shao Yun looked at the extremely excited Xitila Li and couldn't help but complain: "It's just a movie, it's not like you found money..."
