12

Li Xinyi poured a glass of water and drank it slowly.

He pondered that a real time loop could not be like this.

On the day of the 18th, which is constantly repeated, objective things are running normally, orders are numbered consecutively, and the ponies who have repeatedly purchased are staying.

But when everyone arrives in the morning, their consciousness is 'reset', reset to 24 hours ago, and experience the 18th again.

That is, the objective reality has not changed, it is the consciousness of all people that has changed.

What could cause this?

His gaze fell on a few books on the table. At the top, it was the "Weird Book".

Li Xinyi wasn't sure if he was too nervous in the library or if something really weird was going on.

The book fell off the shelf on its own and was repeated twice. But once I noticed it, the book never moved again.

"Are you conscious? Do you want to be found by me? He muttered.

He put down his glass, picked up the book, and opened it.

On the title page is the author's name: Yun Changtian.

Li Xinyi complained about the ugly handwriting while turning the first page.

This is a Cthulhu novel about a man walking in an unspeakable world. He held a torch, and a voice whispered in the darkness:

All things are the Lord's arrangement. An incomprehensible presence will determine your fate. ’

This tone seemed a little familiar, Li Xinyi frowned, and it seemed that the cargo pants also told him that everything about you was arranged. All human beings are slaves of some being.

However, Li Xinyi does not believe in any gods in the world.

Although he has encountered a lot of strange things, the world is also full of illogical. But Li Xinyi believes in Lao Fang's logic, no matter how strange things are, there is a simple principle behind them.

Once the logic behind the scenes is understood, you will know that there are no gods at all.

Under the weirdness, you must stick to your own reason, and you can't blindly worship any god, and you don't know what the god you worship is.

Li Xinyi continued to turn the page and read.

I saw the protagonist of the story gradually fall into madness, whispering in the darkness: 'You have not even found the way to decide, you are lost in eternal madness.' ’

Suddenly, the novel came to an abrupt end. Li Xinyi flipped to the back, and there were blank pages behind him.

The story was only written for a few pages, and it turned out to be gone.

What a broken book! Li Xinyi couldn't help but scold. Why is the protagonist crazy for some reason, you have a foreshadowing.

Li Xinyi turned the page forward unwillingly, and then, in shock, found that he had missed a page.

It turned out that there were two pages glued together, and when he turned the page, he turned two pages directly.

On that neglected page, there is an important plot: the protagonist walks to a fork in the road, and the two paths lead to the darkness and the darkness, and the protagonist thinks about it and makes his choice: ________.

How can there be an underline? Li Xinyi thought to himself,

Writing a book is also written as a fill-in-the-blank question. This author is really nervous.

But when he turned to the back again, he found that the whisper at the end of the story had changed,

The text reads: A whisper in the darkness says: 'There were choices before you, but you ignored them, and you were punished. And then the story ends.

Li Xinyi looked at this sentence fixedly.

The words in the book have changed?

He wasn't sure. The last time I saw this, because he missed a page, the sentence said, 'You didn't find a way to make a decision.'

But the second time he reads it, he already sees the fork in the road, and the next sentence becomes, 'You see the choices, but you ignore them.' ’

It seems that this book is really a bit weird. Li Xinyi's attitude became cautious.

Could it be that as the reader's behavior changes, so does the content of the book?

After thinking about it, Li Xinyi took a pen and wrote in the underlined part: 'The protagonist chooses to come out of the darkness'.

He found that the text on the next few pages had all changed, and the number of pages had become longer, and the plot was now written on a large number of blank pages.

"Damn, this isn't a novel, it's a game!" Li Xinyi couldn't help but speak.

The difference between a novel and a game is that a novel is only one-way and passive, and the reader's actions do not have any effect on the content.

In the game, on the other hand, every action of the operator leads to a change in the content that follows.

This "Strange Book", from the very beginning, tells him in a whisper in the dark: a distant presence will affect the fate of the protagonist. ’

At first, he thought that this 'existence' was Cthulhu, but he didn't expect that this 'existence' was the reader and himself.

Li Xinyi was going to sleep, but now he has no sleepiness at all. His attitude towards the book became more serious.

The protagonist of the novel, named Rochas, is the chosen one.

But he is not important to God, his fate is arbitrarily controlled, and God's likes and dislikes are unreasonable.

'One of the striking features of Rochas is ________. ’

Li Xinyi turned a page and continued to look down, and the following content reads:

'Rochas had no characteristic, he was so unimportant that God didn't even bother to give him a distinct character......

The rest of the story is disgusting, because the protagonist has a very poor character. He first gets drunk, then grabs a young girl in the tavern, forcibly assaults her, and then Rochas goes to grab the money.

Looking at it, Li Xinyi became more and more disgusted with this protagonist.

He turned back to the underlined page, picked up his pen, and wrote on the underline:

'Rochas has no legs'.

The plot has changed.

Roghas struggled to walk with his prosthetic leg and crutches, and it was raining so hard that the mud caused him to fall to the ground and break one of his prosthetic legs.

He had only one prosthetic leg, and limped to the tavern,

Several hooligans humiliated him, and Rochas could not bear it and resisted verbally, but was beaten by several hooligans, and pressed his head into the urine bucket, robbing him of all his money......

'! Li Xinyi couldn't help but scold.

What a bad book, this story is too aggrieved.

I don't know if I can change what I wrote?

Now Li Xinyi doesn't want Rochas to go without legs. He turned to the page again and crossed out the sentence 'without legs',

Then he wrote in small print: 'The protagonist has a sense of justice and great power'.

The plot changes again,

The girl, who was originally forced by Rochas, ran into a hooligan, and the protagonist easily defeated the hooligans and threw them all into the pit, and the girl developed an admiration for the protagonist.

'Let me follow you, my lord! The maiden said adoringly to Rochas.

But Rochas replied: 'I must go alone, I will come out of the darkness.' ’

The protagonist refuses the girl's request to follow him and embarks on a journey out of the darkness again.

The last sentence reads:

'The unspeakable god kneaded the fate of Rochas at will. Just a little curious and funny. ’
