"So you're not the devil, you're a damn profiteer."

Hanging up the phone and pushing open his door, Arthur Jackman muttered something he didn't dare to say just now.

Seeing him come back, Mina, who was originally worried, breathed a sigh of relief, and couldn't help but laugh after hearing the words: "Devil? If, according to myths and legends, isn't every devil a qualified profiteer? ”

"Uh...... Well, you're right. ”

Arthur Jackman was stunned for a moment.

It seems that there is nothing wrong with this, the devil, in myths and legends, people are fooled all day long to sign contracts to deceive their souls, and deceiving, seducing, and playing with people's hearts are completely basic qualities.

"Alright, now it's time for you to go and rest in peace."

Putting aside the irrelevant thought of 'whether the jigsaw is the devil or not?' Arthur Jackman comforted Mina as he hurried Mina back to the bedroom: "Don't worry, it's over, I just picked up a call from a friend." ”

"Then you have to make sure you're still there when I wake up."

Mina really hadn't rested much in the past few days, and obediently lay back in bed, but before going to bed, she still stared at Arthur Jackman, as if she was afraid that she would disappear again as soon as she woke up.

"Of course, I won't go there, just write in the living room, and you can see me as soon as you get up."

Arthur Jackman comforted softly, smiled and leaned over Mina to kiss her on the forehead, then turned to leave the bedroom, closing the door with her hand.

When he returned to the living room, he took the tablet and habitually leaned on the white sofa in the center of the living room, and began to check the outline of the books that the jigsaw had sent him.

"It's just an outline, I don't know how many tens of thousands of words you have to write in one sentence, and you even need five or five points, it's just outrageous."

As he opened the document he received, Arthur Jackman muttered to himself.

There seems to be more than one jigsaw outline, and there is also a document with important points in it, which when opened, seems to be some kind of explanation of the term.

"Crossing? Travel through time and space to another world? ”

"Rebirth? Travel back in time to the way it was? Ahead with memory? ”

"Goldfinger? A special ability granted by a mysterious force during the traversal? Why is it called a gold finger instead of a gold toe? ”

"System? Same as the game? Superpowers? ”

Opening the noun explanation document and looking at it, Arthur Jackman's eyes, who were still skeptical about the literary level of the jigsaw, lit up.

It's all the words and concepts of the rotten street in the Celestial Empire.,But to him, it's very novel.,After reading the explanation, he had a feeling of opening his mind.,A few words made him vaguely emerge a lot of new inspiration in his mind.。

Unfortunately, these ideas are hazy and disorganized, and it may take a lot of time and energy to perfect the idea.

However, this also made him look forward to the jigsaw's outline even more, and he couldn't wait to click on several other outline documents to read.

The time immersed in the state of concentration always passed quickly, and before he knew it, two full hours passed, and he flipped through the documents one by one without interruption, and the excitement and surprise on his face became more and more intense.

"Isn't it true that he is the devil......"

After reading the last paragraph, Arthur Jackman let out a sigh of relief and calmed his mood.

The jigsaw gave him these documents as outlines, but these outlines were very detailed, except for some clutter and vagueness, it is not an exaggeration to call them outlines.

Moreover, the outline of these works is different from any other subject matter and literary genre he has seen, and the current mainstream literary style is completely different from the two extremes.

It's not a tear-jerking tragic epic, it's not an inspiring hero, there's not much thought, there's no metaphorical irony, and there's not even much attention to detail and writing.

But surprisingly, even if it was just some very simple plots, after fantasizing and simulating in his mind, he produced a special charm like magic, which made him unconsciously intoxicated.

Although I didn't leave much meaningful philosophical thought after reading it, and I couldn't even remember the plot clearly, the feeling of excitement and heartiness when reading it lingered in my mind for a long time.

The plots in the outline seem to be all specially constructed for the seven emotions and six desires of human beings, through foreshadowing and even hints, the reader's desires and regrets are channeled, and finally the catharsis erupts again and again.

Reading a book is like experiencing a new life, and it is also a perfect life with ups and downs and no regrets.

Playing with people's hearts is indeed what the devil is best at.

"This type of work is definitely more popular with the general public than those so-called literary classics, and it takes experience and literary background to taste the classics, but this kind of work has no threshold, but it can bring people a satisfaction that is difficult to achieve on a daily basis......"

He was not stupid, and he naturally saw the value of these outlines at this time.

No matter how classic the classics are, the audience is limited, but this kind of special works that target people's desires and catharsis negative emotions and bring satisfaction to people can be widely sought after, and even sweep the world regardless of national borders.

The benefits contained in this are unimaginable, and he felt a little disadvantaged by the fifty-fifty split, but now it seems that he has picked up a big bargain.

A wide audience means that it is a bestseller, and the manuscript fee and various derivative income will also be astronomical, and in addition to money, there is fame, even if someone follows the trend and imitates it, but as the first creator to lead the trend, he can also become a world-famous writer who was once envied and desired.

"With such a high value, why would Jigsaw share half of my earnings just because of ghostwriting, and even give up the reputation of the creator......"

While enjoying the surging heart of the future, Arthur Jackman, who has transformed a lot, was not carried away, his heart sank, and he frowned and pondered worriedly.

Could it be that the jigsaw didn't see the value in this?

This is obviously impossible, and even I can think of it, as the true creator of this kind of work, and also knows the human heart extremely well, it is impossible not to think of this.

And if it is according to what Jigsaw said before, he is making money as a fund for the construction of the secret room, it is obviously illogical.

Who may dislike a lot of money, if the jigsaw is short of funds, for the sake of money to find themselves, then the cooperation will definitely directly explain the value and propose a higher share ratio, they have no room to resist at all, and understand the value will also be happy to cooperate.

"Unless the jigsaw doesn't want fame and doesn't care about money at all, the so-called lack of funds for the construction of the secret room is just an excuse......"

Arthur Jackman's brow furrowed even deeper.

Although I am not too afraid of jigsaws, and even a little indescribable gratitude, it is impossible to say that there is no trace of jealousy in my heart for this kind of high-IQ outsider who is good at playing with people's hearts.

This is a devil who lives on earth.

And now, the devil has handed him a sweet and tempting cake for unknown purposes.

Whether it is a real gift or a poison hidden under a sweet exterior, no one knows, and he may face heaven or hell when he receives the cake.

"Playing with people's hearts...... Hint...... Channeling Emotions ......"

"Channeling Emotional ......"

"Emotional ......"

Arthur Jackman, who had been pondering for a long time, recalling the beginning and end of everything and the details over and over again, chewed on a few key words, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and all the details were integrated together under this spiritual light.

"Yes."

"Since the appearance of the jigsaw, all the secret rooms made are to guide others to develop for the better, which is his ultimate purpose or starting point, but the people that the secret room can affect are limited after all......"

"And this special difference that is easy to popularize, guidance and hinting, catharsis of negative emotions, and making people satisfied, this is tantamount to guiding people's hearts in disguise."

"Desire, pressure, indignation and other negative factors are all satisfied and released in the unreal, which is equivalent to a hypnotic psychotherapy for a large number of readers, and the possibility of criminal behavior in reality will be greatly reduced......"

A logically self-consistent 'reasonable' explanation was generated in Arthur Jackman's mind.

It's reasonable, but it also makes him feel a little out of place and ridiculous.

He walked around restlessly for a while, and then began to talk to himself incoherently.

"Shit, I thought you were a devil, and now you're telling me you're an angel? No, no, no, even an angel is a fallen angel like Lucifer......"

"Damn, am I involved in some behind-the-scenes scheme? Brainwashing the whole world? I would be crazy to stupidly agree to him......"
