Chapter 688: Self-Exile

This demonic spirit is not owned by the young man himself, but is rendered.

Pei Ziyun thought and smiled: "Literature is not only a dream, but also a breakthrough. ”

"Breakthrough, just like Taku Yoshisaki?" the young man immediately answered, his eyes shining.

"Yes, the same as Taku Yoshisaki. Pei Ziyun's smile deepened, shrugged his shoulders and said, "However, if you can't return, I'm afraid the result will not be good." ”

"Takuko Yoshizaki died by seppuku. ”

Hearing Pei Ziyun's words, the young man replied without hesitation: "From a certain point of view, this is true, but if you can achieve the same achievement as Taku Yoshizaki, even if you commit suicide, you will die for literature." ”

"Besides, for the sake of Kyoko, I also have to surrender to the ground, even if there is some price, I am willing to bear it. ”

"......" Pei Ziyun looked at the boy in front of him again—the young man was thin, not tall, and shook his head slightly, and asked, "You mentioned Kyoko, is it your wife?"

"I'm not married yet, I'm a girlfriend!" The young man replied: "Oh, Kyoko is my childhood sweetheart, and I have thought that I am a promising person since I was a child, but my literary path is not smooth, let alone giving Kyoko a rich life, not even a basic life." ”

"So, three years ago, I left Kyoko. ”

Originally, Dongying people attached great importance to privacy, and they would never say such embarrassing words, but I don't know why, but now young people have said it again and again.

In Dongying, the man is responsible for supporting the family and is the main source of income for the family, and the wife is in charge of the family at home, and the man has a high status.

I also help my husband carry his shoes, and so on.

But this is based on the premise that a man has a stable income, if a man does not have a stable income, his dignity will be gone, and the difficulties can be imagined, under the pressure of this life, young people feel guilty, and the only way is to leave Kyoko, so they leave under the pretext of picking wind and wandering outside.

Listening to this scene, Naomi Hayakawa and Tsuneko were stunned.

"Did you hear that?" asked Naomi Hayakawa.

When she was a child, she followed her mother, which was very difficult, and after she became rich, she received a formal traditional education at the Kawajinja Shrine: "Well, I saw it, I saw Ernnie-chan talking to a strange and incompetent person, and I invited him to have a snack. ”

Hayakawa Naomi wiped her sweat: "That person smells like a monster." ”

"Yes, there is, but the smell is very faint, is it his task in this business?"

"Hey, let's wait for the minister's order!" Hayakawa Naomi was dumbfounded when she realized that Tsumiko was going to move, and hurriedly pulled her.

The young man didn't know that Tsumiko was going to hack himself to death, and he was still talking.

In Toei, part-time jobs at convenience stores are generally 900 yen per hour, and young people can live by doing odd jobs, but as time goes by, I gradually think of Kyoko.

Three years later, the young man finally couldn't stand it anymore, so he secretly returned to his original rented apartment, mustered up the courage to knock on the door, and imagined a thousand results, but he never expected that Kyoko would stand at the door to welcome her home the same as the day she left three years ago, her smile did not change, her hairstyle did not change, and even the clothes she wore did not change.

And the young man was ragged and sloppy, and in the face of Kyoko's welcome, he opened his mouth wide and wanted to say something, but tears could not stop flowing out.

"From that day on, I vowed that I would make a mark to at least support her. The young man was immersed in the memories and did not speak for a long time, and it took a long time for him to come back to his senses and get up to apologize.

Pei Ziyun shook his hand with a smile and said, "It's okay, it's just that it's not early...... I just bothered, I'm going back, goodbye. ”

The young man got up and watched Pei Ziyun go away.

"Ernie-chan, is this our mission for this man? Then I'll kill him with a knife!"

"No, I've seen it with my own eyes, and this demonic aura is not owned by this person, Satomi Horikawa himself, but by rendering. ”

"In other words, our goal is not Rishi Horikawa!"

"Even if it's not Horikawa Rishi, it must have something to do with him, just force a confession. Tsuneko snorted.

"It's not that simple. Pei Ziyun shook his head, this is not only the principle of not harming the family (innocent), but more importantly, if the Dongying government can solve it by this, it will have been used a long time ago, he raised his gaze, looked at the air, and said in a relaxed tone: "But for me, the solution is very simple, as long as Horikawa Rishi contacts it." ”

Entering the car, Pei Ziyun picked up the phone button: "I'll give him a chance!"

"Yamada-kun?" a female voice came from the phone.

"Hey, Nagano-san, I'm Shinichi Yamada. After a moment of greetings, Pei Ziyun said directly: "I met a writer in the café today, he wrote well, you can give a chance, he has submitted a manuscript to you, his name is Horikawa Rishi." ”

"If you can, call back now. ”

"No problem, I'll review it right away. Nagano said.

Pei Ziyun hung up the phone, leaned back in the chair, closed her eyes and recuperated, and waited patiently, Xianzi had found her knife, slowly pulled the knife out of its sheath, and the light on the knife slashed through.

Pei Ziyun glanced sideways, and knew that because her father had abandoned her, she didn't like this kind of man very much, so she let her go, but this knife was sixty centimeters long, and there was a faint sense on it - the person who killed by Yanzi can also get a copy himself?

Pei Ziyun glanced at her eyebrows again, and it seemed that the beads had been refined a little more.

Hayakawa Naomi didn't think about this, she also loved literature, she hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Did you have any intention for Mr. Horikawa to mention Taku Yoshizaki just now?"

"Oh, this, this is related to the national character of Dongying, in Dongying, which believes in collectivism, tradition, breakthrough, and return are a system. ”

"When Western literature was introduced to Toei, Taku Yoshizaki was inspired to form a new literary genre, which can be regarded as a breakthrough. ”

"But among the Dongying people who line up for travel abroad, not to talk about politics, even if it is literature, they can only feel value and truth in tradition, and once they deviate too far from tradition, they will not only not feel free, but will become rootless people. ”

"Breakthrough or innovation is naturally good, but if you don't have time to return to tradition, you will be ostracized, and Taku Yoshizaki just didn't have time to return, so it produced the beauty of nihilism and purity and sorrow unique to the Toei style, and when it reached its extreme, it led to suicide. ”

"For the sake of the writer's conscience, I have to warn Satomi Horikawa. ”

Pei Ziyun said that in the original world, Dongying writers committed suicide, either because of the sadness they felt during their growth, or because their keen minds couldn't bear the weight of reality, but one of the important reasons was that Dongying writers often broke through the trap of Dongying's traditional literature, and this breakthrough was sometimes equivalent to self-exile, and the end of this road was death.

Dongying can only feel the reality of life within the organization, and once he loses the control between the upper and lower sides, he will become a rootless person and be rejected by the collective—this is a rule that is difficult for outsiders to understand, but also real.

Oda Nobunaga, the most aggressive, died in rebellion.

Toyotomi Hideyoshi, who had taken over the world by means of détente at home, died in the war of aggression against Korea (Note 1).

And Tokugawa Ieyasu, which is most in line with the law of "tradition, breakthrough, and return", has truly owned the world for 265 years.

"Is that so? The minister would think the same way?"

"No, I'm not Oda Nobunaga. Pei Ziyun closed his eyes and replied, Oda Nobunaga in this world is just a mediocre name, and his reputation is ruined.

But what Pei Ziyun really thought was that Oda Nobunaga was too aggressive, and he was called the Sixth Heavenly Demon King, and died of Akechi Mitsuhide's rebellion - only he had no real strength.

Even if he is more aggressive than Oda Nobunaga, but the power belongs to himself, what can the society do?

This looks similar to a child or teenager shouting "I want to go against the sky" everywhere, but everywhere Pei Ziyun went, he carefully studied the laws of the world and the society at that time, and then issued such deafening words.

For when it is spoken, it is attainable.

At this time, the phone rang in the coffee shop, and no one answered after ringing twice, and Horikawa Rishi was still pondering and writing, when he suddenly realized that the bell was ringing, he looked up in confusion, saw the translation of the phone, and hurriedly got up, because the speed was too fast, causing the manuscript paper to be scattered all over the ground.

I didn't have time to tidy up, and when I picked up the phone, Rishi Horikawa panted and said, "Hi, I'm Satoshi Horikawa ......"

"Hello Horikawa-kun, I'm Narumi Nagano, the editor of the Shiraishi Gakukan!"

"It's a great honor to receive a call from you for the first time!" Morikawa Rishi didn't expect the editor of a famous big publishing house to call him, and he was flattered, although there was no one on the other side, he unconsciously stood up and bowed, which may be the etiquette of the Toei people.

"Horikawa-kun, I read you, you are the author of "The Waiting Kyoko", right? I would like to invite you to the publishing house to discuss the matter of this book, do you have time?"

Rishi Horikawa's eyes widened, he couldn't believe his ears, and his waist bent deeply: "Hi, Nagano-san, I understand, I'll come right away." ”

The good luck came too suddenly, and as for how it came, it was too late to pay attention to it at this time.

When he hurriedly packed up the manuscript and was about to leave the café, Rishi Horikawa suddenly remembered something, and dialed the number again, and as soon as the phone was connected, he immediately said with joy and speed: "Kyoko, Nagano Narumi, the editor of the Shiraishi Academy, approached me and said that one of my novellas has potential, and he wants me to go to the academy, and I will go over immediately." ”

A thin female voice came from the phone opposite, which seemed to be a celebration and an admonition.

"Okay, I understand, don't worry, Kyoko, I'll never make the same mistakes again, no matter how late it is, I'll be back. With that, Horrikawa got up and walked out of the café and ran towards the station—a 10-minute walk away.

"I kept up. At this time, Pei Ziyun in the car stretched out his hand and touched it in the void, as if he had grabbed an invisible line: "The target, I found it." ”
