Writer saves the world

"because--"

Natsume Soseki opened his mouth, and was stunned for a very short moment before continuing: "Because of Lan... because of Arthur Rimbaud and... and the trial product A[-]. The person in charge of monitoring them found that you were actively Approached Rimbaud, and took A[-] away from Leibo Street when we met for the first time, so you will be listed as a key object for surveillance.”

"But every time they followed you, they would lose you in the end, and I happened to be staying in Yokohama for a while, so they asked me to come here." Natsume Soseki said with a wry smile on his face, "But I also lost You have been discovered by you several times." He paused and asked his own question, "Can you tell me how you did it? I think the disguise is perfect."

Natsume Soseki actually had many more important questions to ask. The professional instinct of a politician made him subconsciously choose to play a tentative safety card first.

When the name "Atil Rimbaud" was spoken, Natsume Soseki realized that something was wrong. He tried many times in one sentence. Although it exposed a lot of information, it also let him know his current situation.

"You can't lie"—this is the predicament he is in. Even when he tried to conceal and mislead words, all of them were distorted into the unreserved truth when the words came out.

Terrible.

The alarm bell in Natsume Soseki's head was piercing, reminding him to step into an extremely dangerous field.He pressed the heart that was jumping into his throat, and forced himself to make a calm and calm posture.

Don't panic.

Before reaching an unavoidable dead end, running away is the worst option.Judging from Erye Tingming's words just now, the rule of not being able to lie is valid for both parties. When he leaked information, Erye Tingming must also exchange information.

Natsume Soseki looked at Futaba Tingming, waiting for his answer.

"The soul cannot be disguised. And I have read your book." Erye Tingming replied, and then asked, "Artille Rimbaud refers to Lan Tang? If he is under surveillance... he is from another country Is it a spy/spy? A[-] should be talking about Zhongye? You are trying..." He didn't know whether to lament the arrogance of human beings or the miraculous birth of Zhongye in the Central Plains, so he couldn't help but struggle with his words. "Artificial gods?"

Natsume Soseki captured and analyzed every key word in Tingming Futa's words, and answered cautiously, "Rimbaud is an intelligence officer sent by the French government, and is also a very powerful person with supernatural powers. For more detailed information, please contact me. I can’t tell you, but I can only say that he was seriously injured a year ago due to a mission, and it was observed that he lost almost all his memory. We took some measures to prevent him from being found by the French side, and we also closely monitored him.”

Hiding Rimbaud was to avoid leaking confidential information.But only strict monitoring and no other measures are taken into account that Rimbaud, an elite intelligence agent and a transcendent configuration, is fully capable of disguising the perfect illusion of amnesia and waiting for opportunities.Not to mention there is Rimbaud's partner whose whereabouts are unknown. Who knows if they are cooperating with each other, and if they don't investigate the situation, they rashly attack him. It is very likely that there will be another explosion on Leibo Street. If there is any movement, not only will the people with supernatural powers who are not rich at all be lost, but they will also be seized by France, who is about to go crazy looking for someone.

We must know that although Japan has small land and resources and has no surpasser, it monopolizes a piece of Dresden slate that all countries want.Natsume Soseki and the others once thought that Rimbaud's incident was a serial scheme designed by France to trick them. Otherwise, how could the two transcendents who had already stolen the mission target explode on the spot, one with amnesia and the other missing?

There must be a big problem in there.

"As for A[-] and Zhongya in the Central Plains... this project is completely under the control of the military and police. After the explosion on Leibo Street, we left the mess to us to clean up. They cleaned up the scene in advance. I don't know the specific research details. learn."

"After we found Chuya Nakahara, because his condition was not very good, we also tried to take him away from Saibo Street for protection, but all those who tried to approach him were crushed to the bone." Natsume Soseki sighed for his subordinates who had interrupted their careers, "That's why you, who took him away when we met for the first time, attracted a lot of attention. We doubted whether you worked for an illegal research organization."

Erye Tingming said that he would not take the blame, "You want to take Zhongye away because of his research value. Even if the treatment is better than before, he will be trapped in the laboratory or used as a weapon in the future." He said As he said, he shrugged, seeing that the heat of the takoyaki was about to dissipate, he quickly forked one into his mouth, and continued vaguely, "Humans who are disrespectful and want to blaspheme should kneel down and thank you if they are not directly crushed. God's mercy."

"god……?"

"That's right." Futaba Tingming miraculously understood Natsume Soseki's subtext, and confirmed his guess, "Although I don't know what you guys originally intended to build, the core of Chuya's current core is indeed a god, that's right. Otherwise, I wouldn't have to work so hard to take care of him. Seriously, your Yokohama landlines are really good at calling people, and you have to be pointed out if the brand of milk powder is wrong, so what kind of milk powder do you drink for such a big god..."

Erye Tingming complained about the helicopter mother (bu) behind the Lord God. He knew that the new god Chuya was of great significance to the land, but the crooked veins of the land made him want to send the child back. Call the veins to raise it yourself.

"... Earth veins?" Natsume Soseki felt like a repeater in a trance. As a high-ranking government official, he knew all kinds of strange and extraordinary existences, and he could understand every word that Tingming Erye mentioned. There are several key words, but all the key words are connected together, which leads him to a fog full of puzzles.

"Well, earth veins, you can also call them spiritual veins, land consciousness, natural souls, etc. Anyway, the meanings are similar." Erye Tingming paused, and then warned Natsume Soseki, "I don't recommend you to open Chuya’s idea. A god like him is the protector and coordinator of the energy of the earth’s veins. Once something happens, Yokohama and the surrounding areas will suffer.”

Leaving aside the tsunami, earthquake, abnormal climate, and barren land, just the absence of gods to deter the imminent demons and ghosts is enough to make Yokohama, which only has people with supernatural abilities, stumble.

"And since he has been entrusted to me, I will do my duty as a guardian until he is able to stand on his own." Erye Tingming spread his hands, "Although my combat power is not very good, it is not enough to deal with human beings .”

Natsume Soseki was silent again, he used the movement of drinking tea to cover his micro-expression that might reveal his emotions, and after a while he said: "Then..." He looked at Erye Tingming with sharp eyes as if trying to see through his soul.

"Are you human?"

"No." Erye Tingming answered quickly, and gave Natsume Soseki a reassurance, "But I can guarantee that I am at least friendlier to humans than Dresden Stone."

He pointed to "I Am a Cat" on the bookshelf, and tried hard, "Are you really not thinking about continuing to write? I think it has a better future than your politics."

"Thank you for not thinking about it for the time being..." Natsume Soseki rubbed his forehead, "So, I am the one who wrote "I Am a Cat", right? I wrote it in a parallel world or other possibilities."

The Dresden Slate... If Tingming Erye is an existence of the same level as that thing, he has to revise his original response plan.

Futaba Tingming nodded, and thoughtfully added tea to Natsume Soseki who was not looking well, "If you become a writer—if such a world exists, then this is your work."

Besides Natsume Soseki himself, who else can write "I Am a Cat".

Erye Tingming made it very clear. Natsume Soseki touched the beard on his lips and sighed: "If I really wrote it, then I probably don't want many people to read it. If my colleagues Seeing me write something like this autobiography, I'm afraid they will laugh at me."

"There are so many people named Natsume Soseki, who can say that you must have written it." Futaba Tingming said with hints.He raised his hand, and "I Am a Cat" on the shelf floated into his hand, "But such a good book, if only you have read it and I have read it...and Oda-kun has read it, it would be too much." Too lonely."

He used the wrapping paper with cartoon cat heads to wrap the cover of "I Am a Cat". The black cat, the white cat, Tanuka Sanka, all kinds of cats stared at Natsume Soseki on the opposite side, surrounded by stray cats. Like meow meow begging for food, menacing and pitiful.

"That's why you opened a bookstore?" Natsume Soseki asked, "Because only you can see these books, and you feel too lonely?"

He used a question, but it was an affirmative statement.Natsume Soseki was already able to draw a complete line of cause and effect in his mind, and thus gave Tingming Erye a "dangerous" stamp.

But all abilities related to time and space must be dealt with carefully and carefully, and if Erye Tingming can do what he hinted, he must add a wide range of perception effects and memory manipulation to his skill bar, plus The operation of forcing myself to not be able to deceive, conceal and mislead just now is almost impossible to guard against...

Even without the power at the level of the Dresden slate, Natsume Soseki still believes in what Futaba Teimaki said, "It's not impossible to deal with human beings."

Originally, it was a good thing for a strong man to appear in the country when life was already difficult under the power war. However, Natsume Soseki analyzed the situation with Futaba Teimaki and felt that the probability that the other party would be willing to work for the country was about zero.

Non-humans with long lifespans are rarely willing to get involved in the internal struggles of humans unless they are too boring. Japan's reluctance to foreign countries is even less interesting, otherwise the battle of supernatural powers would not be the current situation.

After a brief but violent wavering, Natsume Soseki sighed long, thinking that it is better to give non-human science popularization of legal common sense of public publication review and dissemination.

It's not that you can just take out a book from nowhere and put it in a bookstore as a serious book and sell it to takeaway.Even if you are non-human, since you are walking in the world in the form of a human, you must obey the rules of human beings.

Then Natsume Soseki saw Futaba Tingming turn the book to the last page, showing him the book edition number that symbolizes a formal legal publication.

"I have reviewed and registered all the books." Erye Tingming said that he is a good book that abides by the law, and unconsciously complained, "It's quite cheap."

Natsume Soseki was at a loss for words, and felt depressed as if he was shooting himself in the foot.

Because of his keen writing experience when he was young, his political career started in the Ministry of Education. The policy of relaxing publication review standards and lowering the price of book editions was drafted by him himself, and was formulated in conjunction with the implementation of compulsory education to improve the quality of the people and other development policies. of.

The purpose of implementing that policy is to reduce the operating costs of publishing houses, expand the demand for book publishing, increase the income of writers while promoting the rise of the cultural industry, and encourage more young people to devote themselves to literary creation, so as to optimize the atmosphere of the entire cultural publishing industry.

This policy did achieve quite good results at the time, which can be regarded as his outstanding achievements in the early days, but after the war of supernatural powers started, most of the schools in the world were closed, and the cultural level of the younger generation directly regressed a lot. These officials have neither the energy nor the budget to manage cultural publishing, and the book publishing industry has become a free zone for barbaric growth.

Many books like Tingming Erye were pulled over and registered in batches, even if the reviewers passed him without reading a single word, Natsume Soseki also believed in the possibility of this happening.

Maybe seeing Erye Tingming's good looks, he gave him a discounted price for a version package.

Erye Tingming closed the pages of the book, and corrected what Natsume Soseki said just now.

"Also, it's not that I feel lonely." He said, "I just feel that the current literary world is really too lonely."

A pool of stagnant water, two or three kittens, there is neither love nor thought between the lines, the writers pile up the words to make up the story, the readers talk about it for entertainment, and there is no ripple, and a stone will not even make a ripple.

Erye Tingming looked at Natsume Soseki with a sad and lonely expression.

"If the world were a forest, I would never hear a bird's cry... Literature shouldn't be like this."

He not only wants people to read, he also wants more, more people to write.

——Natsume Soseki suddenly remembered the signboard that he glanced up when he entered the door, on which was written the word "Naruiya" flowing like clouds and flowing water.
