Chapter 18: Contemplation

According to Li Zhengyang's recollection, similar to the terrifying encounter of the Xenometer Hotel, he experienced a total of six times. They are the Xenomorph Hotel (twice), Death Post, Ghost Town, Shadow Shadow, and the residents on the other side.

His experiences are exactly the same as the stories in the book "Xenogeneous Curse". That's why he named each of his encounters after the unit stories in his novels.

"Xenomorph Curse" is divided into five stories, in order of order, they are the opposite resident, the Demon Shadow, the ghost town, the death mail, and finally the Xenomorph Hotel.

In each of these stories, he set a curse. Except for the curse in the Xenodou Hotel, which is reincarnation, the curse of each of the remaining four stories is within the scope of zài.

The curse either acts directly on an item, or on a person, and is also a range.

The sequence of plot development in the novel is reversed from the real sequence of events in reality, so that the "opposite householder" of the first story in the novel becomes what will happen at the end. In the novel, the "Xenotropy Hotel", which is the last story, becomes the first thing that happens.

After Li Zhengyang escaped from the story of "the opposite resident", he did not encounter anything for more than two months. From this, it can be seen that the reincarnation curse that was stored in the Xenodou Hotel was activated again about two months after the end of a round of "plot".

"The novel 'Xenomorph Curse' is actually equivalent to an unsolvable novel."

When Li Zhengyang talked about this issue, his face showed a bit of helplessness and regret:

"Although the male protagonist in the story survived, the curse of reincarnation will keep him reincarnating, which is the real ending of the book."

"The first few stories of your book, as well as the curse, have been solved, why did you come out with no solution in the end?" Xiao Mo put down the book in his hand, raised his head and looked at Li Zhengyang with some incomprehension.

"Because of the suspense. If all the answers are written in the book, then once this novel is over. That's the real end. I don't know if you can understand that? ”

"I can understand." Xiao Mo nodded after hearing this, and then asked again:

"But I want to ask you in detail, is this book unsolvable in your setting, or is your idea solvable, but you deliberately made a space for the reader's imagination in order to leave suspense?

If anyone can think of a solution, then this book still has a solution? ”

"I really want him to understand, because I'm the main character in the book. Who wants to face despair? But that's really how it was set up at the end.,Maybe it's a way to save zài to get the protagonist out of reincarnation.,Anyway, I didn't think about it.,After all, in my eyes as an author.,This story is over.。 ”

"But now you can't help but think about it, because this novel you wrote has come true!" Xiao Mo's voice became a little more ruthless:

"If you can't think of a way for the protagonist to survive, then even if you still survive, you will still have to face unlimited reincarnation in the end."

Xiao Mo paused when he said this, and then he seemed to think of something. Then he uttered a meaningful sentence:

"Of course, maybe this so-called reincarnation is only twice."

Xiao Mo's subtext is to say that the reason why Li Zhengyang will experience this kind of thing again. It's all because of their incident this time. So when the event passes, what kind of reincarnation, the novel comes true, these ghostly things will disappear.

However, Li Zhengyang didn't know the curse, and he didn't know what escapes were. So he didn't hear the deep meaning of Xiao Mo's words. At this time, he took the copy of "Xenopathic Curse" from Xiao Mo's hand, and then flipped through it casually. In the process, he suddenly asked Xiao Mo:

"Do you know why I write a book?"

"Hobbies? Or do you want to make money by becoming famous? Xiao Mo shook his head. I'm not sure if I'm right.

"Haha." Hearing Xiao Mo's guess, Li Zhengyang suddenly laughed, and then he shook his head and said:

"I'm sorry you guessed wrong, my original intention of writing the book is very simple, one is not for money, the other is not for fame and fortune, just for myself, to leave some traces of my past in this world."

Li Zhengyang put down the book in his hand, then got up and walked straight to the window:

"You see, standing on a high place and looking down, we are just specks of motion on a flat surface. We are busy every day to survive, and we are desperate for our own selfish desires. Simply put, we're doing it for a bite to eat, but to be more complicated, we just want to keep a name.

Human life is extremely short, and no one who can remember you can remember you, except for your limited number of friends, your relatives and children. When you disappear from this world, all you can leave behind are the memories in their heads, and years later, those memories will disappear completely with their departure.

So, have you ever saved zài? Did you leave anything behind?

None of them. Ordinary people, as an ordinary person, can't leave anything. ”

"So you want to write a novel?" Xiao Mo's expression became a little strange, not to laugh at Li Zhengyang, but to feel that if he wanted to leave traces in this world, he didn't necessarily have to write novels.

"Yes, I want to put my thoughts, my ideas into it. You may think that if you want to leave a mark in the long river of history, you can become a business giant and a pillar of the country, but those positions are not reserved for ordinary people.

And they, no matter how powerful they are, are far from being able to create a "world".

But I can, my worldview, my values, my ideas and thoughts can be reflected in one or several books. Although they may turn into a pile of waste paper in the end, as long as the Internet is not broken, as long as the culture is not destroyed, my books, my Qiē, will sooner or later be accessed by future generations.

At that time, some people will know that there was a novel writer named Li Zhengyang a long time ago. ”

Li Zhengyang said very intoxicated, but Xiao Mo, who was sitting on the sofa behind him, didn't quite agree with his point of view. It's not ridicule, it's ridicule, it's just that it doesn't approve of it.

"Is it really that important to leave that trace? In the end, dust to dust is still dust, and there is nothing left. ”

"Of course it is!" Li Zhengyang turned his head with a stern face:

"Otherwise, are you sure you really saved it?"

Xiao Mo looked at Li Zhengyang with a stern expression a little stunned, and kept repeating that sentence in his heart:

"I'm sure...... Is it really zài? (To be continued......)
