When Xiao Yi shouted these words, pure white suddenly filled the whole world.

No...... To be more precise, the whole world is moving away from Xiao Yi.

The world in which Clemens, Nania, and Liliana were located quickly left him, turning into a tiny dot in an instant, and then ...... Completely gone.

Xiao also entered a world of pure white.

This world ...... It's like a blank space after the end of a story, it's pure white.

Xiao also understands that he is leaving the story.

Then, his consciousness suddenly sank, and he couldn't help but sink into a coma.

But soon, Xiao Yi's consciousness became clear, and he opened his eyes slightly.

"Uh...... Where is it? ”

Xiao Yi shook his head, there was no feeling of drowsiness, only a feeling of satisfaction.

It's like waking up from a long dream.

Xiao also noticed that the world around him was familiar, it was the barren mountain he was in before, but ...... There is no such thing as a hostel here.

Nor ...... Their figures.

The only thing left was the unfamiliar figure beside Xiao Yi.

"You're finally ...... I'm back. ”

That's a strange man with a gentlemanly temperament. He looked at Xiao Yi who woke up and breathed a long sigh of relief.

Xiao Yi was also a little confused, and he immediately asked, "...... Who are you? ”

"You must be confused right now, but, don't worry, it's over. Next, I'll tell you what happened. ”

He first comforted Xiao Yi with some nervousness, and then slowly said his name.

"My name...... His name is Lucio. ”

"Lucio? Who is it? "Strange people, names that have never been heard before, all this makes Xiao Yi feel puzzled.

The man, Lucio continued:

"You must have understood that the world was actually a story, right? Well, you can understand what I say. I am the author of ...... "Night on a Barren Mountain". ”

"Are you...... Author? As soon as he heard this, Xiao Yi immediately came to his senses.

He jumped up directly from the ground, "So you are the author!" Then you came at the right time, and you actually tortured the character you created like this, where are you still a person!? This punch is for Clemens! ”

“…… Yes!? Seeing Xiao Yi waving his fist, Luzio was also really taken aback, and hurriedly said, "Wait! Wait a minute! Did you misunderstand something? Clemens wasn't a character I created! ”

“…… Misunderstand? Xiao also stopped.

On closer inspection, this guy named Luzio seems to be saying that he is the author of "Night on a Barren Mountain".

"The world of the hotel where I am staying during the day should be the story of "Flash", and the night is the story of "Night on the Barren Mountain", that is, Clay's life has nothing to do with you?"

"You can say the same thing." Seeing that Xiao also had no intention of attacking him, Lucio breathed a sigh of relief, and then explained: "I just imitated the story of "Flash" in "Night on the Barren Mountain". ”

"Oh~" Xiao Yi completely understood, "It turns out that you are engaged in plagiarism!" ”

"Uh......!" Luzio clutched his chest as if he had been hit by a critical blow, "What do you say...... It was too intense for me. ”

"So, why would you want to plagiarize someone else's work?" Xiao also asked.

"Can you not use that kind of term?" Luzio corrected a little helplessly: "I'm just copying." ”

"Aren't they all the same?"

"It's different...... Alas, forget it, in short, I wrote his work in a hurry in order to make you aware of the anomalies of the world, and thus discover the truth of the world. ”

"I see." Xiao Yi nodded.

Indeed, it was thanks to the flawed world that he also realized the truth of the world.

"But why are you copying it?" Xiao also asked again.

"Because...... I had to finish the work "Flash". Luzio sighed and explained, "However, I don't have talent, and you can also perceive how much difference there is between the two stories, right?" So, on my own, I couldn't understand what the true meaning of the flash in the story was, let alone write a fitting ending. That's why I needed someone to collect clues from the book to help me understand what the flash was. ”

Xiao Yi thought carefully about his experience in the two worlds, and nodded approvingly.

"It's a bit of a difference, how should you tell your story, it's not only casual, it's a little ...... Earth. ”

"I did it on purpose!" Luzio hurriedly changed the subject and said, "Okay, let's get down to business, can you give me the page?" ”

Listening to his words, Xiao Yi also noticed that he still had the four pages in his hand.

Eve once said that someone was collecting these pages.

In this way, that person is the Lucio in front of him.

However, knowing this, Xiao Yi's doubts in his heart increased instead of decreasing.

"You said it had to be done?" Xiao also asked: "But, you are not the author of "Flash", right?" ”

"Well, I'm not."

"What about the author? Why didn't he do it himself? ”

"He'......," said Lucio, his expression sad, "Fest, he's dead...... I was the one who caused his death. So, I had to atone for my sins, and I had to finish his unfinished posthumous work, "Flash"! ”

The words "......" made Xiao Yi stunned.

It seems that there is a story going on outside of the story.

Xiao Yi thought for a moment and asked, "So, is that why you used me to let me into that story and collect these pages for you?" ”

"Nope! Not really! Lucio hurriedly explained: "Your experience is not my doing, the specific reason is ...... Look over there. ”

As he spoke, Luzio pointed in a direction.

Xiao Yi followed the direction he was pointing, and only then did he notice that not far away, there was a book floating in the air.

Moreover, the book constantly exudes deep darkness around it, as if it wants to infect the world.

Luzio explains:

"Pfister's unfinished legacy is somehow pulling people into the story. There are quite a few people before you who have been lost in the story forever.

I knew at a glance that the book was longing for an ending, but ...... Pfister, he's gone. So, as his murderer, I have to atone for my sins and finish that story, so that more people can't be lost.

However, I had no talent, and no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't match Pfister. God was very partial, and He gave Pfister everything I longed for. He is a genius, an unquestionable genius, far from being comparable to that of my mediocre bricks.

Luckily, for some reason, Flash acknowledged my work...... No, my suicide note "Night on the Barren Mountain". Let those who are addicted to stories go to my stories temporarily.

That's why I hastily wrote a plot in "Night on a Barren Mountain" in order not to let people indulge in the story, perceive the strange, question the whole world and find the truth from it, so as to get the pages I wanted. I must use despicable means other than talent to bridge this abyssal gap. ”

These words made Xiao Yi roughly understand the general situation, but he still had doubts.

“…… Note? Xiao also asked, "What does this mean?" ”

"Literally." Lucio explains: "Night on a Barren Mountain was originally a story about my life, and I was going to commit suicide when I published it. After all, it was I who killed Pfister, and I had to atone for my sins, and the only meaningful atonement for the dead was a reciprocal, fair death. ”

"......" Xiao Yi was silent for a moment, and then decided to let this topic end there.

So Xiao also handed the page to Lucio.

"I guess I already get it." Xiao also said: "Then, you can take these pages, so that you can write the ending of the story." ”

"Thank you very much!"

Luzio didn't talk nonsense, took the page with a look of surprise, and read it.

But soon, he showed a sad and helpless look again.

"No...... Sure enough, I can't do it at all. I still can't understand what he meant by flash, and what kind of thoughts he had in mind to write this work. The gap in talent is too big. No matter how hard you try, what you can't do is what you can't do. ”

“…… Can't understand the true meaning of the flash? ”

Xiao Yi also remembered that he seemed to have the task of interpreting the true meaning of the flash.

So, Xiao also thought about it, and guessed:

"Is it possible that the flash refers to the flash of human nature or something, you look at Clemens, although they have suffered a lot of misfortunes, they are still very good people."

"That's impossible." However, Lucio immediately denied it. He said: "You don't know Pfister, in his heart, there is no such thing as good and evil. In his view, good and evil are two sides of the same body in the essence of man. It's just that...... People use their likes and dislikes for selfishness, and only want to define good and evil simply, so that many people have to live hypocritically and live very tired.

Therefore, in order to reveal this, he always uses only the most despicable and disgusting people in the worldly conception as protagonists. Although this is his greatest strength, it also causes him to be poor.

For Pfister, the characters in the book were born only to express his ideas, so that he would kill the characters in his stories rationally and equally, regardless of good or evil. ”

"Kill ......" Hearing this, Xiao Yi's expression was suddenly solemn.

Lucio continued: "There were also many so-called good people in Pfister's previous works, but those people died without exception, and many of them were killed by the protagonist. For Pfister, the shock is more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Also, you should remember the name of the main character in "Flash", right? ”

Xiao Yi didn't forget, he replied: "...... Pfister. ”

"That's right." Luzio nodded, "Take your own name as the name of the protagonist." Pfister created the protagonist as if he were his own incarnation.

The first mental image you see is Pfister's description of himself. Men in suits and leather shoes are intertwined with beasts, and human nature and animal nature, reason and instinct are confused. That's right, he's an instinctive beast in a rational suit.

Therefore, I don't think that the flash is simply the flash of human nature, but it should have a deeper meaning, at least not something that I can understand. ”

"This ......" Xiao Yi couldn't help but feel a little distressed.

However, Xiao Yi suddenly remembered something!

"That's right! Isn't it necessary to do reading comprehension questions in conjunction with the author's life? ”

Speaking of which, Xiao Yi still doesn't know what kind of person Pfister is, so how can he understand the true meaning of the so-called flash?

Therefore, Xiao Yi immediately asked Lucio:

"Does your book "Night on the Barren Mountain" write about Pfister's life?"

"Huh? Yes, but not much. "And that's all my subjective opinion," said Lucio......

"It doesn't matter! Let me see! ”

As long as you can understand Pfister's story, don't forget, Xiao is also a man with more than 200 points in language.

It's time to show off your 200 percent reading comprehension skills!

In fact, Xiao Yi did the right thing.

The condition for customs clearance is that after investigating the truth of the night on the barren mountain, the true meaning of the flash will be deciphered.

In other words, you must know the truth about the night of the barren mountain to understand what the flash is.

"Really? That...... All right. ”

Luzio nodded, and from his handbag, he took out a stack of manuscripts, the first page of which read...... "Night on the Barren Mountain".

"It's ...... The story of my life, the story of me and Pfister. "It's a little bit of a long story," he said. ”

Then, the truth of "Night on a Barren Mountain" unfolded in front of Xiao Yi.
