"I'm back. ”

Wen Shen opened the memo on his phone and typed in the latest one: "Still there?"

He seems to have come to terms with the fact that he is under the watchful eye of a nameless hacker.

The system, which had never taken its attention away, immediately conveyed the message back, "Administrator, Wen Weifu has replied in advance. ”

"So fast? Guan Li put down the half-seen competition page and plunged into this conversation with his own thoughts.

With the database in hand, you can view the archives at any time.

And if Wen Weifu runs away, it will not be easy to find another author of the same level.

"Your reply is faster than I expected, have you already made a decision?" he commanded.

"Until then...... I need to know the specific content of your Oral Chinese Creation Project. ”

"Believe me?"

"It doesn't matter if you believe it or not, it doesn't matter. Wen Shen had already practiced efficient and accurate typing speed, but in this conversation, his speed slowed down, "This is what you said." ”

I almost made a typo.

Guan Li and the system were unaware of his hesitation.

To be precise, they all lack awareness of the extreme hand speed of a professional web writer.

This does not preclude Guan Li from making judgments based on the situation.

With Wen Weifu's identity and status, and at the critical time of the animation production of "World Trial", he must have no extra leisure and interest to waste time with himself.

So that's what it means to be willing to cooperate.

Tell him about the "Cthulhu Mythos"?

The "administrator ......" system instinctively wanted to block it, but for a while it couldn't find a reason.

Both sides do not trust the other, but both have the intention of cooperation, and one party must take the initiative to show its sincerity.

At present, the needs of Guan Li's side are more urgent, and it is natural to take the lead in self-disclosure.

But they also take more risks.

Revealing the content of the project, Wen Weifu will be able to touch their outlines sooner or later and take off the identity of the "traverser" together.

Guan Li doesn't seem to care about this, it's because he's used to tossing!

Can it not care?

"Take a gamble? I have a good impression of Wen Weifu. Guan Li gave the order.

What else could the system do? It just sighed and couldn't care anymore.

Bet!

I hope that Wen Weifu's personality is not much different from what he shows on the Internet.

"The Cthulhu Mythos World Background?

"This is not the first time this kind of thing has happened, and the scope of science fiction is far broader than ordinary people think. ”

"I know a lot of authors have done this in the past, but times have changed. ”

"The Golden Age is lost, and there are still people nostalgic, and the Silver Age is declining, and there are still people rising, and how do you know what this age should be like?"

"You're changing concepts, we're not talking about the same thing. ”

"Almost. ”

"Much worse. ”

"Okay, I can't say anything about this question, I just wanted to ask if you're interested in Cthulhu?"

"Let me write? Why. ”

"You are the most suitable author of the times. ”

"What's the reason? I'm not even a science fiction author. ”

"It's not just because you don't dare to write, don't you want to write about gods and science fiction? ”

"It's too simple, if I were sure, I wouldn't have tried so many times in other categories. ”

"That's the way the worldview is, write?"

"Even if I decide to write my next book on this genre, I don't have to use your worldview, this ...... The so-called 'Cthulhu brought by the traverser'?"

"If you don't like it, you can change the name, I just need a science fiction paradigm that is anti-truth, anti-science, and anti-human. ”

"I don't think we're talking about the same topic. ”

"It's a subject that no one has written about yet. ”

"So what? There are so many topics that I haven't written about. ”

"The indifference of the universe and the alienation of human nature are most in line with the core of today's society. ”

"I might as well write cyberpunk. ”

"It is destined that great works are in line with the times, and I will definitely let it be born, and the original author is not you. ”

“...... You just said I'm the best. ”

"I can write it if I make do with it, it's pretty much the same anyway. ”

"Much worse!"

"You don't want to write!"

"Who said I didn't want to write!"

“......”

"Just interested in the style, didn't say I wanted to write about your Cthulhu. ”

Guan Li almost laughed, and the system wanted to cover his face.

He held back a smile and continued: "The ready-made framework and work system are here, do you want to take a look? You will influence the whole era." ”

Wen Shen was attracted by one of these points, "Ready-made work system?"

"Cthulhu is a complete creative system, and there are many works in other worlds, although you can't copy them into this world and release them publicly, but it's okay to read them privately. ”

"The ...... of other worlds works?"

"Yes, I didn't say it, I'm a time-traveler. ”

"Do traversers still have this kind of benefit?" Wen Shen was not calm, "I thought that the copyists who came with their own works library in the online articles were all deceitful!"

"That's really a lie, the real copy guild was pulled out by the Space-Time Copyright Bureau for trial. Guan Li tried his best to clear up his relationship with the copyist, and resolutely did not agree with the dirt, "Only public copyright and legally authorized works can be disseminated across the world." ”

"Like Cthulhu?"

"Like Cthulhu. "And the SCP Foundation.

"It was an eye-opener...... You've really made me a condition that I can't refuse. Wen Shen paused for a moment after typing this sentence.

It's a short time, it's long and it's stagnant.

"Human existence is meaningless to this indifferent and chaotic universe. ”

Guan Li saw the sentence that had been written in the memo.

It is not rewritten in the text, and it is also a sentence that speaks the essence of the worldview of the "Cthulhu Mythos".

So he responded, "Yes, pointless. ”

"That's what I've always thought. ”

"It's real, it's too pessimistic. ”

Is it "cosmism" or "mechanical materialism" that believes in the vastness of the universe and the insignificance of humanity like Lovecraft?

Lovecraft embraced a philosophy of cosmic indifference.

He believed that it was a mechanical universe with no purpose.

The same goes for Wen Shen.

He has never believed that scientific truth is meaningful, only the aesthetics of the moment.

"What is more precious than the ultimate is the process of reaching the end. He wrote, "even if these are necessarily forgotten." ”

Modern people are increasingly aware that the world they live in is an indifferent nature.

The thousand-year-old monument of humanity is not worth mentioning in the vast universe.

Time weathers everything, and memories do not save a bit.

Life struggles in the vastness of the ocean, trying to leave its name forever.

- I want to be remembered.

- We are here.

The creation of science fiction in the Golden Age was born out of this mentality.

They write about existence and destruction, depicting all things and stars, and reflecting truth and ultimate.

They want to embed the all-too-small proposition of human beings in eternal time.

This is the "grand narrative" sentiment of a generation.

Later, the evil aesthetics and cyberpunk, no matter how well written, lacked the courage to reach the supreme.

Said a sea of stars, but you gave me virtual reality.

Guan Li: "So?"

Wen Shen changed the topic, "It's very interesting, the Space-Time Copyright Office only collects cultural works, and scientific theories are not protected. ”

"I think it's because science can be repeated, but art can't. ”

Science, to be precise, summarizes and analyzes reality, is the criterion and theorem of objective existence.

They are discovered, not created.

Art is the opposite.

Truly great and beautiful art is a little bit of starlight that occasionally bursts out of the creator's mind, and it is by no means objective.

Art is unique, art cannot be copied, art is the only refuge for human beings after exhausting industrial civilization, and it is the moment when the creator meets God.

Therefore science is respected and art is protected.

"The good news in general is that the work I write will be remembered by the rest of the world. ”

What will be further away, Wen Shen is not ready to think about it.

That's enough.

"Nameless time-traveler, let's create an era together!"
