[Traveling] Stepfather Clearance Plan

In this world, there are many things that can make a person's body addicted, such as alcohol, drugs, or sex.

And there are too many things that can make people's spirit addicted, one of which is vanity.

Although it was still a few years later that "Deep Sea" won the award, this book brought great honor and benefits to Yu Sen immediately after its publication.Just entering university, he was hailed by critics as a rare genius in the literary world, and he had high hopes. His books were sold out every time they were reprinted.As a rare young writer in serious literature, the mass media deliberately made him a star and made him a super idol among the student community.After all, everyone loves to see that a radiant, mythical and perfect spiritual leader can promote the serious literary industry that has been in a downturn for a long time.

The star-making movement has been more successful than anyone could have imagined.For a while, the pseudonym "Xiao" became a topic that people talked about, and the signing event was scheduled for two or three years in a row. Various TV programs, academic conferences, and university lectures were all invited to attend. A literary whirlwind.

Yu Sen was pushed and pushed onto the path of literature in this kind of ecstasy.He really enjoys the feeling of being admired and noticed. He feels that feeling is like taking drugs, which makes him unable to stop no matter what. No, it may be even better than taking drugs.

After the initial enthusiasm gradually settled, everyone was looking forward to the genius writer's second work.For a while, in the halo imposed on him by the whole society, in the countless praises and praises that are hard to distinguish between true and false, he thought that he really had attainments superior to ordinary people.After all, he was the one who typed the "Deep Sea" into his computer with his hands, so there was no reason why the other one could do it, but he couldn't.

However, the god of creation seemed to have played a huge joke with him.The second work he wrote with great effort was sent to the editor, but was shot dead by Feng Yue unceremoniously.The same is true for the next few attempts. Feng Yue doesn't need to say much, he can see that the new work is too far away from the "Deep Sea", even if it is published, it may ruin his own brand.After a long delay, Feng Yue found a ghostwriter to publish several short stories in magazines in his name, but the response was extremely dull.

Serious literature tests the author's inspiration and insight far more than popular literature, and neither of these two points can be achieved by acquired education. The phrase "Heaven rewards diligence" is just an anesthetic for mediocre self-comfort.Genius never lies in diligence, but in genius itself.After many failures, Yu Sen had to admit that he would never be able to write a second work that could attract attention again, but he was too used to the feeling of being surrounded by halos, so it was even more impossible for him to give up all this .

It was at that time that he began to try to awaken the other self in his body that he had been trying to suppress.He knew how weak his other personality was, and after so many years, he wasn't worried that Xiao would take away his spiritual dominance again.However, he needs Xiao Lai to help him share the role of "genius" writer, and he needs Xiao Lai to write new works for him so that he can maintain his status as a literary idol.

The process was not smooth.In some cases of split personalities, different personalities can perceive each other and even have conversations in consciousness. Unfortunately, this obviously does not meet the situation of Yu Sen and Xiao.Xiao is always an invisible and intangible existence to him, even the distance between him and Xiao is farther than anyone else in the world.No matter what, there is always the possibility that other people will see Xiao in person, and when Xiao wakes up, he will surely fall into a deep sleep.

To this end, he made too many attempts, various extreme sports, hypnosis, asphyxiation therapy, alcoholism, and sex.His unbridled and careless attitude in private life was formed at this time.Later he discovered that there was only one sure way to wake Xiao up, and that was violence.

From fighting lessons, to countless street fights, to the torture and killing of various small animals.Xiao always wakes up after brutal violence, facing the mess around him, sometimes his body is covered with blood, sometimes he himself will be injured, and sometimes the first time he regains consciousness, he will see the bloody and bloody body of the wild cat. corpse.

During that time, Xiao's loathing for herself accumulated to the extreme.He wanted to stop Yu Sen's crazy behavior, but he was completely powerless.If the writing is not continued, the brutality will escalate further.He can only keep creating various wounds, large and small, on his body, and seek the last trace of comfort in his heart through the pain.

The new work has achieved greater success, and Yu Sen's praise and pursuit have reached unprecedented heights.What people are always in contact with is his elegant and cheerful appearance, and even the occasional scandals have become just the right lace embellishments and spices. As for his dark side, he has never been made public.

It is the most indifferent truth in the world that pushes this apparent splendor to a dead end: diminishing returns.Ordinary stimuli were gradually unable to have any effect on Xiao, and Yu Sen, who had long been familiar with the taste, didn't want to stop at this time. For this reason, he walked into deeper darkness step by step, until finally——

He killed a man.

Stories are metaphors for life.This is especially strictly reflected in "blues".When desperate Xiao went to Yue Chuan, what he owed because of his acquaintance with Ke Mu was not the huge 60, but a life.

A debt that will never be repaid.

This decision became the one he regretted the most in his short and broken life.The all-powerful Yue Chuan in the criminal defense field did exactly the same thing as the lawyer back then, and even more beautiful, perfect and impeccable - Yue Chuan didn't even have to wait until the trial.With the frivolous evidence of perjury, the objection in the evidence collection procedure, and the icing on the cake, when the case was sent to the procuratorate, even the police themselves felt that the legal evidence was not enough to accuse Yu Sen of being a suspect.

At this time, the name Chen Yuechuan seemed particularly harsh.Although the evidence used by the prosecution in criminal cases is often not strictly in accordance with the procedural law, and most of the time, these evidences are indeed often accepted by the court with a blind eye, but the opponent is Yue Chuan, who has been repeatedly accused. In the law of criminal defense of robbing people back on the execution ground, any tiny loophole will undoubtedly be caught and hunted down, and there is absolutely no possibility of getting away with it.Even if the case is prosecuted to the court, there is a high probability that the case will be acquitted. The procuratorate dragged on for a month, and finally decided to save himself trouble and not prosecute directly.

No one can tell whether what Yue Chuan did is right or wrong. For Yue Chuan, he just wants to protect that weak and kind child, the person he has been used to protecting and taking care of since he was a teenager. .Even he himself was surprised that the deep-rooted sense of responsibility almost melted into his blood, even though the two sides hadn't seen each other for more than ten years, there was no slight change.

For Yue Chuan, he just wanted to protect the person he had loved silently in his heart for almost his whole life.In the past ten years of separation due to various reasons, he knew that when Xiao was most painful and helpless, he was not able to accompany him, and every time he thought about it later, it almost made his heart bleed.

However, such a result made Xiao completely overwhelmed by guilt.How can he say he is innocent?After all, it was him who ended the life of a completely innocent person with his own hands.But he doesn't have to take any responsibility for this, not even the mere seven years in prison that his father suffered back then.

What's more frightening is that as long as the other self doesn't disappear, the endless hell for him will continue.

On the day he was acquitted, in his short and broken life, he had a big fight with Yue Chuan for the only time.Some emotions, such as anger, fear, and resentment, have been suppressed in his heart for too long, and once the embankment bursts, it can no longer be suppressed.

At the end of that quarrel, both of them shed tears and decided to say goodbye forever, and never see each other again on Huangquan Road.

This is like a long-standing oath, but its fulfillment is faster than expected-the front page of the newspaper the next day revealed that the famous young writer Yu Sen fell into a deep coma due to an overdose of cocaine, and spent another two days in the hospital. After rescue, he was declared brain dead by the doctor.

--------

Yuwei finally lowered her head and turned her face away as if she was giving up on herself, her face was completely sunk in the darkness.

Xiao squatted down on the spot, silently looking at the shadows of the two of them on the ground under the white moonlight.

— If it wasn't for you...

He has thought about this question countless times.He and Yu Sen, who owed whom for the rest of their lives?

This question absolutely cannot be answered with a simple first come first come.He was so weak and cowardly when he was young, if it wasn't for Yu Sen's appearance, maybe there wouldn't be the future him at all.Just like a caterpillar, because it is afraid of the outside world and dare not break out of its cocoon to become a butterfly, it will eventually die in the chrysalis.

Everything he could never do, Yu Sen has done.

The principle of natural selection probably also applies to them.It's not that Yu Sen has taken his position, but that this society has chosen a side that is more suitable for existence.Too many histories have repeatedly told similar stories, and those who are truly gifted often have a miserable life.What society needs more than a weak and detached genius is a strong, down-to-earth ordinary human being.

Xiao is all the darkness in Yu Sen's life.The talent he harbors is like the fruit of a poisonous snake's temptation. Although it is extremely sweet, it is extremely poisonous, leading people to fall into deeper sins step by step.

Without Xiao, Yu Sen's own path would have been more steadfast and correct.Yu Senben has a positive personality, knows how to persevere, knows how to work hard and never give up, and is easy to be welcomed and accepted wherever he goes.

Without Xiao, Yu Sen would be a more ordinary and upright person, would experience an ordinary love with Zhang Yuwei, would be a competent husband, a competent father, would have so much happiness...

If there is no Xiao...

"Yuwei, you don't know, how I wish I had never existed, not for a day... My thoughts are probably a hundred times stronger than yours..." Xiao rested her chin on her knees, fingers slowly Tracing the edge of the shadow on the ground, he spoke slowly in a voice that was almost choked.

"I used to rack my brains to think, has my existence brought any good things to those around me? Violence and hurt are always around me. It was me who ruined the life of the person you love... ..."

His fingers paused for a while at the corners of the shadow, then he took a deep breath, and when he spoke again, the volume was as soft as a whisper, as if he was saying something that even he couldn't believe.

"But Yuwei...but, if it weren't for me, if it wasn't for that book...you probably wouldn't be able to see him..."

—Can this be the only good thing I have done?

There was a long silence.A small cloud blocked the moonlight, and the whole room was plunged into darkness.

After that, Xiao heard Zhang Yuwei say a word in a very small voice, the voice was full of tears and deep exhaustion.Because the voice was too low, it took him a while to slowly piece together what this sentence was in his mind.

——Xiao, why is the person I love not you...

☆、【On the way home】(4

Xiao also received a text message from the game system that night, asking if he wanted to call the police.He thought for a moment and chose no.

Xiao actually felt in his heart that when the matter developed to this point, who the murderer was, whether it was Chen Yuechuan, Ke Mu, Zhang Yuwei, or the murder method that had troubled him for a while, all became very indifferent. up.In this time-distorted game world, reasonable explanations themselves have very limited meaning.For example, murder in a secret room is unsolvable in three-dimensional space, but once the dimension of time is introduced, it becomes extremely straightforward-a house can be built around the corpse after death.

Of course, this may not be the case, but this kind of thinking suddenly made the matter of searching for murder methods dull.He untied the most critical knot and found the truth he wanted, which was enough for him.

Taking a step back, even if he chooses to call the police, and spends a lot of effort to find out the truth and accuse the murderer, he must be another BE.Usually jokes like the blackening of the gentle heroine will not have a good ending in the end.

The two checked out overnight and changed to another hotel, and then left with the earliest bus the next day.The unfinished trip with Yuechuan before, this time it was a lot of fun.I don't know how the police dealt with it. In short, until the limelight passed, no police contacted them, and Xiao didn't bother to pay attention to this matter.

The time of the week ran out quickly, and when Xiao went home, Ke Mu stayed in Yunnan to continue his journey. His posture was the same as when Xiao first met him in the previous reincarnation, like a youthful and enthusiastic backpacker.

The young man sent him to the airport, and he seemed a little melancholy when he parted.

"In this case, I owe you, I should..." He smiled shyly, stretched out his arm as if trying to put it on Xiao's shoulder, but in the end he just stopped at a place far away from Xiao.

Xiao nodded hesitantly, in addition to the sadness of parting, he always felt some inexplicable emotions in his heart, as if he had forgotten something important.

--I owe you……

He thought over Ke Mu's words over and over again.The entanglement between him and Ke Mu and Yue Chuan probably cannot be clarified in one sentence, at least the one who owes is not the two of them.In any case, in that world he is not familiar with, there are two people who still remember him and are willing to guard his memory all the time, this is something that can make him feel warm.

At that time, Xiao's cell phone rang again in good time, and it was indeed a text message from the system:

【In this way, what I owe you should be...】

-1. Don't say that, I should thank you...-

-2. Wait a minute——

He stared at the text message for 5 seconds, and suddenly jumped up screaming, grabbed Ke Mu's arm, and replied with [2] with the other hand.

"I was almost fooled by you, and I just got away with it like this. How beautiful are you thinking? You still owe 60 usury loans. I really thought I would forget about it by telling a story and talking about the past. Is it?" Xiao pinched Ke Mu's wrist and walked towards the airline counter, fearing that he would run away again.

Ke Mu smiled awkwardly and scratched his hair, "...Is there such a thing? I forgot..."

"I remember it clearly! Anyway, I won't let you go. I am jointly and severally responsible, but you have no money and you have to go back with me. At worst, you will be chopped off by Duan Wei."

"Hey, Xiao Xun, don't be so unfeeling, Xiao Xun, walk slowly and wait, eh, knock your legs, knock your legs—"

…………

Nothing went wrong after that day, and Xiao was relieved until he was safely handed over to Duan Wei.

From a realistic point of view, I am really sorry for Ke Mu, but the game setting is like this, Xiao Xiao doesn't feel too much guilt when he catches people back.The clues he got from Xue Yeji several times before allowed him to roughly piece together the whole picture of the problem: if everything he thought he had experienced as a script writer before was fictional, but the world of "BLUES" is real The shadow of the world, then the NPC Ke Mu, who is the base point of this world, is probably dead in reality.

He didn't ask any more questions, but said goodbye to the young man solemnly when he got off the plane.That is the person who shared such a thin memory with himself. No matter whether the memory is good or not, the precious thing is that it is the reality in this too long dream.

After all, local snakes are involved, and the final parting can be said to be not romantic at all, and it should even be described as jumping around.Ordinarily, the money was owed by Ke Mu. Now that Xiao can bring him back, the knot of the whole story has been untied. Although it is not HE, it is at least an open NE.However, Xiao was not knocked unconscious by a robber, and then woke up on Xue Yeji's big bed.

The open ending seems to mean that he wants to live this kind of life forever.

——For the first time in his life, it seemed, he wasn't bored with the passing of time, and he wasn't bored with "living" itself.

To say what he has learned in this repeated reincarnation seems to be just a little bit of strength and courage to take a step out of his own world.

For the first time in his life, he didn't want to run away, but wanted to do something down-to-earth.

He chose to go to the bar as a waiter.I really don't have the foundation, and I can't do any more technical work. The waiter has a low threshold, which is just right.

The biggest difficulty is that working in the bar has to meet all kinds of people every day, and he has never been good at dealing with people.

This is suffering, but also experience.It was only after the real start that he realized that everything was far from being as difficult as he had imagined.Later, I heard a guest say that he was always happy to see him, and it made him happy for a long time when he returned home from work in the middle of the night.

Some of the goodwill you give will always be rewarded.If this is life, what's wrong with it? The only regret is that since this branch is a NE that has nothing to do with Yuechuan, then he probably won't have the chance to see Yuechuan again.

Xiao fell asleep with a little regret amidst this happiness, and when she woke up, she felt that the surroundings were filled with the faint fragrance of lavender.The scent was so pleasant that he couldn't help closing his eyes and taking a deep breath, but he coughed twice violently due to the sudden smell of smoke, and when he opened his eyes, he saw Yuechuan holding a cigarette on his fingertips, wrinkled tightly. Eyebrow stared at a small card in his hand.

He got up, rubbed his eyes several times, and finally confirmed that the person in front of him was Yue Chuan, and when he looked around, it was obvious that the small black room he rented was no longer there. Looking at the pink wallpaper of the big bed chandelier, it seemed to be Xue Yeji style of.

...It seems that this is the official achievement of NE, but why did Yue Chuan appear here with him?

Seeing that he woke up, Yue Chuan threw the card in his hand to him with a look of disgust.Xiao picked it up and put it in front of her eyes——

[Congratulations to the player for completing the mainline NE and triggering the plot "Dream of Lavender".Please solve the predicament of the secret room according to the clues in the room, and you can open the main line HE.Great God, come on O(≧▽≦)O]

……

What the hell did this girl do with the game script, and what happened to the style of painting changing from a text adventure to a secret room escape? ==|||

In any case, it's a good thing to be able to turn on HE after waiting for so long.

Xiao was thinking about how to explain this situation to Yuechuan, and he didn't know where the memory of Yuechuan before the guy in front of him was saved for a few weeks. After struggling for a while, he finally blurted out: "Hey——"

He yelled these words quite loudly at first, but when he raised his head to meet Shang Yuechuan's eyes, he lost all confidence for a moment, and he faltered for a long time before choking out a sentence: "...Long time no see."

Yue Chuan looked at Xiao calmly, his gaze was extraordinarily gentle, and then chuckled lightly.

He took two steps closer, put his hand around Xiao's neck, and gently rubbed the hair on the back of his head.

"Long time no see...Xiao."

The author has something to say:

Hmm... This article stopped for a long time before, and it was locked for more than a year in the middle. The editor helped me unlock it a while ago and urged me to update it. Looking back, I can't remember what I wanted to write at that time. I just remember At the end, I want to write about two people’s bathroom play, but now that the harmonious wind blows, I can’t write it anymore, so let’s do it now, although there are many problems as the ending, at least it can be regarded as rounding out the whole story (probably

If "Snake Slough" is regarded as a Tomb Raider fan, this is actually the first original article I wrote in Jinjiang.This time I continued to write the ending, saying that I couldn’t remember what I wanted to write in the ending at that time, but I knew in my heart that I might never have thought about how to write the ending.At first, I just thought this stalk was cute, so I started writing rashly. As for how to design each step of the plot, what is the background of the characters, and where the story ends up, I have never thought about it carefully.Thinking back to the state of mind I had when I was serializing now, I just feel extremely ashamed of my ignorance and sloppiness.

After more than a year, looking back now, the only gain may be to be able to objectively analyze where the shortcomings of this article are.For example, I wrote a most typical negative protagonist, such as not having a consistent goal, etc. I only knew that my writing was not good but I didn’t know how to improve it. Now I can say one, two, three, and in the future writing Take it as a warning.This can be regarded as a little progress in my two years of writing.

Thank you for reading this all the time - if anyone is still paying attention to this disorganized clumsy writing.

hug everyone
