The expression on the Hobbit housekeeper's face became a little strange.
This time, for the first time, she did not agree to Zhang Heng's request. She just said, "I will help you send the invitation to Conseil's housekeeper. However, I have no way to decide whether he will come to see you." ensure."
As a result, before she finished speaking, she noticed that Zhang Heng's eyes changed. He moved away from her body and focused on a place behind her.
There, Conseil's butler in a tuxedo was walking slowly from the other end of the lawn. The setting sun cast a layer of afterglow on his body, making him look somewhat divine.
He waved to the Hobbit housekeeper, "Thank you, Belladonna, just leave it to me."
The Hobbit housekeeper bowed and left after hearing this. Then Conseil raised his head, smiled at Zhang Heng and said, "We meet again."
"Yeah, almost a year has passed since we first met." Zhang Heng said.
"A copy of Deduction, from Sherlock Holmes, one of my favorite books." Conseil said, "Although I have always felt that that guy is not very suitable as a roommate, but it seems that you get along well with him. joy."
"You gave me that pen when we first met, was it because you already knew what would happen to me later?" Zhang Heng looked directly into Conseil's eyes.
"I'm not the God." Conseil said, "I mean, I am God, but I am not an omnipotent existence. I cannot predict the future, but I can indeed predict the future at the beginning of the story. Lay some foreshadowings. As for whether these foreshadowings can be used, to be honest, I don’t know, so you don’t think of me as so powerful. I just know your identity earlier than others, but you, I am very curious. How do you plan to deal with the current predicament?"
"The emotions in the story?" Zhang Heng asked.
"That's right. Since you told Belladonna that you wanted to find me, you must have found a solution to the problem. Do you have any means to restore your relationship?"
"No, but I know where all the feelings I have lost are." Zhang Heng said lightly.
Conseil's eyes were originally full of doubts, but after a moment he seemed to have thought of something, grinned, and finally showed a look of surprise.
"What experiences are you talking about?"
"That's right," Zhang Heng said his request directly without concealing it, "I want to see those old friends again. They have the feelings I left behind in them. I will collect these feelings again and write Come into my story to complete the final creation."
"Is that so?" Conseil said with a somewhat surprised smile, "So is this your final answer? Do you believe that it will leave traces if it exists? No, wait, the new one you are going to write The story also has the same theme, could it be said that you have already made plans to accept the coming of that guy and let your soul be destroyed?"
"This was originally part of my plan." Zhang Heng's expression remained calm as before, as if the troubles he encountered now were not fundamentally different from the troubles he encountered in different dungeons before. Same, it will be solved soon.
"I asked Isis and Psyche, and they both said that the soul cannot be restored after it is destroyed."
"They didn't lie to you." Conseil nodded.
"But I studied your birth, growth and decline, and realized that there are no absolute rules for your gods. What is impossible at this stage does not mean that it is really impossible to happen. Just let as many people as possible If the public accepts it, new rules will naturally form.”
"So you want to create a new rule to help you fight against the existence of that city under the ice." Conseil nodded, "I already knew this when you stepped into this instance, but I couldn't think of it. What I understand is why you must take the risk to accept the advent? Is it because there is not enough time?"
"Time is one thing. With this copy, I can calmly complete my creation in it. But even if I can publish it immediately after the copy is out, I still need to leave enough reading time for readers and time to spread my message. , In addition, the most important point is that if my soul cannot be completely destroyed, then I will always be just a mortal, and it turns out that mortals cannot be affected, no matter how popular the book is."
Zhang Heng paused here and continued, "Besides that, there are some creative reasons. I need an ending that is dramatic enough."
"I'm pretty sure that when other people read the end of this book, they will be amazed by the final twist." Conseil said, but then his conversation suddenly changed, "I probably understand what you want to do. What, but your request is somewhat beyond the scope of my ability. I can only create the illusion of the author and their characters in the copy that belongs to me. I cannot bring in the characters from other copies that you have experienced. Come in, and the good thing is, I know someone who can do it.”
"Gaim?"
"That's right, but as far as I know, the compensation he owed you has already been paid back. Although I know that guy also likes you, he is an old-fashioned person who pays special attention to rules. He can't break himself. I have set the rules with my own hands and will provide you with any help unconditionally."
"It doesn't matter, then I'll play another game with him." Zhang Heng said.
"What game?" Conseil asked curiously.
"The oldest and most enduring game in human history."
"You want him to gamble with you?" Conseil frowned, "I already know your request, but where are your chips?"
"I tried to help him solve the trouble caused by the guy in the city under the ice."
Conseil frowned slightly when he heard this, and was about to say something when he heard Zhang Heng continue, "Also, I know what his real purpose is in creating this game, and I also know that he has been exploring how to make the gods A way to get rid of the shackles of fate, maybe I can be of some help in this matter.”
"How can you help?"
"We humans have always had an old saying, crisis is also an opportunity. Gaim is unwilling to use violent means, so he cannot really send the gods into his game world, but what he can't do, I can, or more accurately The guy who said he was planning to take over my body could."
"Do you really want to?" Conseil was really moved this time, with his mouth wide open.
"Yes, if I guessed correctly, Gaim suddenly disappeared because he was disappointed with the restart of the war between the new gods and the old gods. At the same time, he hoped that his departure would make the gods of the two camps less vulnerable to the threat posed by the master of the city under the ice. Reunited, in this case, why not take a step closer? As long as Gaim appears later, I can make all the gods willingly enter the game world he created to take refuge. The so-called proxy war was originally just for him. Wasn't it an over-planned plan? His real purpose in creating that unparalleled game was to create a new home for the gods so that they could get rid of the shackles of fate and at the same time live in peace with humans."
