Rorschach looked at the middle-aged white man in a dark suit, judging by his chubby size and inflexible movements, he should be just an ordinary person, not a threat. Just as Rorschach was about to open his mouth to ask, he noticed that the girl next to him seemed to be a little different.

Odeya stared blankly at the middle-aged white man standing not far away, motionless as if she had lost her mind, and after a long while, she took a deep breath and asked in a trembling voice:

"Dad, is that you?"

The middle-aged white man looked at Odeya with a loving look in his eyes, he raised his hand and waved, and said:

"It's me, Odeya."

"Oh my God! You're back! ”

Odeya let out an exclamation, took three steps and made two steps, and in the blink of an eye, she ran in front of the middle-aged white man. She opened her hands and plunged into the other's arms, "Dad, where the hell have you been?" Why haven't you contacted me all the time? I thought you didn't want me anymore...... Woohoo......"

The girl's voice gradually brought a cry, and tears came out of her eyes, wetting the clothes on the chest of the middle-aged white man.

Rorschach looked at Odeya's appearance and had already guessed the identity of this middle-aged white man, he was Jiastan, the author of those storybooks, the father of Odea and Slabbi.

Stan patted Odeya on the back and comforted:

"Don't cry, I'm not back."

"I didn't cry!"

Odeya looked up, staring at Stan with red eyes, and hurriedly wiped the tears from her face, "I didn't cry!" I just got sand in my eyes. ”

"Yes, yes......"

Stan continued to pat Odeya on the back, "The sand is so annoying, it makes my baby's eyes red. ”

"Nasty!"

Odeya lowered her head, her face flushed, and muttered, "Daddy hates it the most!" ”

"Haha......"

Stan laughs, then looks up at Rorschach and Sam, and asks curiously, "Is that the man-eating flower you solved?" ”

"Yes."

Rorschach stepped forward, "You're Robert. Lawrence. Mr. Stan? ”

"It's me."

Stan nodded, "Stan." ”

Odea pointed to Rorschach and said:

"Dad, he's Agent Rorschach, and the cannibal flower is what he solves."

"Agent?"

Stan froze for a moment and looked around, "FBI? ”

"Nope."

Rorschach shook his head and said, "I'm an agent of the Territorial Strategic Defense Attack and Logistics Support Bureau. ”

"Such a long name......"

Stan frowned, apparently he hadn't heard of S.H.I.E.L.D. either.

"Our department is relatively unknown to the general public."

Rorschach smiled and pointed to Sam beside him, "This is Sam, the paranormal hunter. ”

"Oh, oh......"

Stan nodded and smiled, "It's nice to meet you." ”

"So do we."

Rorschach replied. He glanced at the storybook in Stan's hand and asked, "Mr. Stan, are you going to take back the monsters here?" ”

"Yes."

Stan looked at the man-eating flower, which had completely turned to ashes, "Doesn't seem to need my help, though. ”

"How so."

Rorschach hurriedly said, "Slabi ran away, and he stole the storybooks you locked up. ”

"Slabbi ......"

Stan sighed, "I didn't expect it to be released." ”

"Indeed, no one expected this ......"

Rorschach looked around, "Let's get out of here first, let's talk about another place, the police should be coming soon." ”

"Okay."

Stan agrees, and the others have no opinion.

……

The four of them drive to Stan's house, the old manor house, where Odeya tidies up the living room before beckoning everyone to sit down.

Sitting on the couch, Rorschach tells Sam and Stan what happened.

Stan nodded and said:

"I also heard about the monster scary incident in Madisontown, so I rushed back."

"Oh?"

Rorschach asked, "Mr. Stan, did you already learn that someone stole your storybook?" ”

"I don't know."

Stan shook his head, "I'm just guessing, but these storybook things have always been on my mind, they're like a ticking time bomb, and I don't want to hurt the town, so I'm going to come back this time to settle things here once and for all." ”

"What are you going to do?"

Stan shook the storybook in his hand and smiled:

"I'm going to write a new book, and the story here will take all the monsters back so that they don't come out and be scary again."

Odeya said on the side:

"Dad, but the typewriter is gone."

"No, no."

Stan picked up the suitcase next to his feet, which he had brought into the room, patted the suitcase and said, "The typewriter is here, I went back to Madison yesterday and took the typewriter out early." ”

"You took the typewriter!"

Odeya raised her eyebrows and said angrily, "Since you're back, why don't you come to me!" ”

Seeing that Odeya was a little angry, Stan quickly explained:

"No, no, the main thing is that I have to hurry up and write a book, and I really can't spare time."

"Really."

Odeya pouted and grumbled, "Is it possible that writing a story that captures all the monsters will make you unable to spare even a little time?" ”

"Hey......"

Stan shrugged, "Easier said than done, isn't it that easy to write a story to catch all the monsters I've created?" ”

"Why?"

Odeya wondered, "Is it that difficult?" The monster loses, the good guy wins, and the story ends, I think it's pretty simple. ”

"No, no, no......"

Stan lifted his black-rimmed glasses, "That's not going to work, if you want the story to be magical, you have to write a story that gives you goosebumps, with reversals, twists, horrors, and heroic self-growth." ”

"I don't understand ......"

Odeya shook her head.

Rorschach laughed on the side:

"What Mr. Stan means is that if you want a story to be magical, you have to write a good story."

"Yes."

Stan nodded, showing the expression of meeting his soulmate, "This story has to be exciting, so I can't write it that fast, and I'm only halfway done yesterday until now." ”

"Then you have to finish writing to get those monsters back?" Odeya asked.

"No, you don't."

Stan holds up the storybook, "The story inside already has magical powers to deal with some monsters." ”

"What about Srabi?"

"It'......"

Stan sighed, "I set it as the final enemy, and I won't be able to write about it until the ending......"

"That means ......"

Odeya thought for a moment, "Now you can't beat Slabi with this story manuscript?" ”

"Yes."

Stan grimaces regret, "I need to write until the end." ”

"Dad, hurry up and write, don't sleep tonight!"

"Uh......"

Stan felt speechless, looked at Odeya, and muttered, "This...... Need inspiration...... You can't write without inspiration. ”

"Oh my God!"

Odya said helplessly, "Then when will I finish it?" With so many storybooks in his hands right now, who knows what he's going to do next? ”

"Soon, soon!"

Stan said with some embarrassment, "Don't worry, baby, I'll finish it as soon as possible." ”

At this time, Rorschach suddenly asked:

"Mr. Stan, if you don't mind, can you tell me why the monsters in your storybook are in the real world?"

Stan froze at Rorschach's question, and he looked at Rorschach and frowned.
