Chapter 324: Caring for Each Other
The sound of fighting on the ground, when the sound came, I was already anxious, but now I can only deal with the shopkeeper quietly, that is the only chance I can get close to the innkeeper.
I said calmly, "It was when I met the first woman in red." At the time, I was deliberately saying that there was nothing new in her story. I don't know, did you notice her expression?"
The shopkeeper thought for a while and said, "I don't think there's anything?"
I laughed and said, "For an author, you point to him for not being able to write a good story." The other person is bound to feel angry and sad. It's like when you've put all your heart and soul into doing something, and suddenly an irrelevant person pops up and criticizes you for your efforts, is your reaction to trying to suck him to death?"
The shopkeeper nodded slightly: "Yes! I will definitely have such emotions." What is more annoying than arrogance is the kind of arrogant and unaware person. Red Charm's reaction at the time was wrong. ”
I replied, "Her anger is normal, but I see a different emotion in her eyes, fear. Extreme fear. Although, this emotion of fear only flashed in her eyes. But it still hasn't escaped my eyes. Why should she be afraid?"
I asked myself, "At first, I didn't think of a reason. When I saw Red Charm one after another, I knew that she was suspicious, or rather, she was deliberately complicating simple things. What does this mean? What does it mean? What does it mean? She's using the plot to drive a story. That's when I finally understood something. ”
I looked at the shopkeeper and said, "The innkeeper is the one who writes the story, and the innkeeper is the one who reads the story." The so-called room was not something that appeared randomly, but a kind of test for the shopkeeper by the innkeeper. ”
"If you want to write a good story, you must not only be delicate, but also full of imagination. Let the reader look forward to the next episode. However, Red Charm is clearly not a good storyteller. Therefore, she can only come down to fight me in person. It's not so much that she's writing a story, but that she's acting in a story. ”
The shopkeeper said: "What you said is right. Whether it's writing or acting. As long as the story is exciting, it is enough. With this, Red Charm can be the shopkeeper. ”
I held out a finger and shook it from side to side, "You're wrong. Why do you like to read stories? It's not because you love stories, it's because you're killing boring years. If, I'm not mistaken, you started by watching the people at the inn struggle, and when they're all resigned to their fate, you start to create a crisis with yourself and keep them fighting. When they resolve the crisis again and again, you also completely drain your imagination. From then on, you'll start choosing a shopkeeper for the inn. ”
My voice sank: "There is only one criterion for you to choose the innkeeper, and that is that he must have an imagination beyond ordinary people. It can make everything in the inn more exciting. Whenever a shopkeeper runs out of ideas, his time of death has also come. And you'll choose the next shopkeeper. ”
The shopkeeper nodded: "That's right." The years are endless, and immortality is actually a form of torture. Unbearable torture. He was more terrible than any kind of punishment. When people can't pass the time, they should always find something to do. Are you right?"
I looked at the other party and said, "Didn't you think that one day, the people in the inn would join forces to rebel against you?"
The shopkeeper said confidently: "They don't have the ability, and they don't have the guts." ”
I sneered, "When people are in a desperate situation, there is nothing they dare not do. Give me back all my things, and I will prove it to you. ”
The shopkeeper hesitated for a moment and turned around and left the secret room, and walked back with my backpack after a while.
I pulled my phone out of my backpack: "Do you know this?"
The shopkeeper picked up his phone and looked at it for a while: "What is this?"
I said lightly: "You don't know mobile phones, do you know TV, movies?"
The shopkeeper frowned slightly, I had already turned on my phone. It's a pity that there is no signal here, so he can only show him a few simple functions: "The mobile phone is placed in a place where there is a signal, and there are thousands of games, novels, and movies, even if you don't sleep, you can't watch them for a few years." If you don't believe me, you can take it out and try it. ”
The shopkeeper snatched his phone and left the secret room, and it didn't take long for him to come back, but his face became extremely ugly: "When did you find out that they were hiding from me?"
"Not so long ago. I looked at each other with a smile and said, "I was surprised when I first entered the inn. Why is the antique inn equipped with a modern gate? The furnishings in the house came to an abrupt end in modern times. It turns out that it's not that you deliberately don't embody modern things, it's that you haven't seen them at all. ”
My voice paused: "TV and movies have already appeared. It's just that everyone is hiding from you. Once you know that these things exist, you can re-choose how you want to pass the time. At that time, will you let the innkeepers go unchecked, or will you get rid of them altogether?"
I looked the other person in the eye: "The people in the inn, I believe that you will get rid of them all." In order to survive, they can only hide from you. However, the longer this kind of thing was hidden, the more panicked they became. The more panicked I became, the more frightened I felt. ”
"You shouldn't let Guan Hong out. You can't see what's going on outside the inn, and you can only report this through Guan Hong on a regular basis. The people in the inn are scared, and the more you ask, the more you ask, until the question shows up about something. They chose to let the red charm come out and earn the shopkeeper. Hongmei isolated the other party as soon as Guan Hong came back. In other words, Guan Hong has just come back and is already dead, and Guan Hong who greeted me is just a character created by you. ”
The shopkeeper said in a deep voice: "Yes! Hongmei didn't give Guan Hong a chance to live. ”
I smiled and said, "Guan Hong is dead, and a bigger crisis is coming." Guan Hong brought back a small amount of money. A little money is like a bomb, and it doesn't necessarily mean when it will be detonated. Red Charm simply came up with a way to send invitations, trying to get us all over and catch them all. However, it occurred to them that after sending out the invitation, someone would fill the invitation with a fire. Eighteen invitations were made at once. ”
"A large number of people from the Dao of Surgery have poured into the Jiangbei Inn, although you are very happy. But it detonated the fear of the innkeepers. This fear grows because they don't know who you have become. Somewhere coldly watched the story of the inn. They can't bear it, and you know that they're teaming up to hide the consequences from you. ”
My voice sank and said, "So, under extreme fear, they can only take risks. Keep the situation expanding, and when you are out of skill, that is when they kill your body. ”
"They dare?" "The shopkeeper had anger in his eyes: "Even if they have the guts, they can't find where my body is!"
I couldn't help but laugh and said, "How many years have you been with them?"
The shopkeeper was puzzled: "What do you mean?"
I smiled faintly and said, "Are the people who live in the inn a human spirit or a fool? a master or a fool? They may not be able to tell stories, but they are by no means people who sit idly by." Do you think they've been confused about your life over the years? They may have already found your weaknesses. They haven't done it for a long time, but they haven't been cornered yet. Now, a desperate situation has come for them. ”
I raised my phone and said, "The previous shopkeepers of the inn may tell you that the outside world is developing, but they will never tell you what it has become. You can see Qing Dynasty muskets, but you can't see modern automatic firearms. ”
China has been closed off from the Ming Dynasty onwards, and although the times are progressing, their development has been extremely slow, so that they have lagged far behind the Western powers. However, this speed of development is exactly in line with the innkeeper's perception of the world, and in his mind, everything in time should move forward at this pace, not with each passing day.
I continued: "The Jiangbei camp of the Qing Dynasty is located near the inn, and it is not surprising that you see the fire gun. Your thinking must be stuck in the time when you are marching and fighting, or when you are mainly using swords and guns, and you are assisted by firearms. How would you feel when you saw such a firearm?"
I pulled up a video of a submachine gun firing from my phone, and I continued: "The people who came to my rescue were all equipped with such firearms. The people of Jiangbei Inn were afraid. ”
I pointed to the top of my head: "They can tell you that an elevator is a large mechanism pulled by a person." But they can't explain what's going on with the firearms, and my reinforcements will definitely come in. So, you must lose and you must die for the rest of the inn to survive. ”
The shopkeeper's face was extremely gloomy, but his mouth still refused to admit it: "Yes, I don't believe they have the guts." ”
"Then how about we make a bet?" I pointed to my head and said, "Listen to the voice, there should be countless people and horses attacking and killing in a steady stream now, and the people who come to save me are actually not very numerous." You're definitely having the upper hand now. However, it will not be long before my men will counterattack with all their might, and your embodied troops and horses will be defeated one after another. Let people kill into the inn. ”
"At that time, you only had two choices, one was to release the people in the inn to defend against foreign enemies, and the other was to attack and kill my reinforcements yourself. Whichever one you choose, you'll end up exposing yourself to the Red Charm. Here's their chance to kill you. ”
The shopkeeper said with a gloomy face: "I don't believe anything you say." ”
"Then wait!" I closed my eyes slightly as I spoke.
I'm waiting for the outcome, and I'm betting on the outcome.
