GT did not accompany Luo Shiqin today because of the decision she made yesterday.

Before discussing this decision, let's talk about a person who had a profound influence on her.

Luo Shiqin has an online friend who is a professional cartoonist. Although the two have different professions, they have very similar views on "how to construct exciting plots."

"——If it were me, I would create a surprising twist before or during the climax of the story that the readers would never expect."

She questioned this statement at the time.

"But if even the readers didn't expect it, doesn't that mean that there was no plot detail laid out from the very beginning, and the so-called climax is just the author's random thoughts?" Luo Shiqin disagrees with setting up the plot this way. "I prefer to lay the groundwork at the very beginning, and occasionally there will be readers who point it out, but it's not revealed until the end, so that when the readers look back, they will have a sense of fate."

The other party was a little surprised: "...You are a fatalist? I thought you were the kind of author who would write a story where the protagonist finally defeated fate."

Luo Shiqin was quite helpless: "Although I am a fan of traditional happy endings, apart from my hobbies, most of my writing is essentially for making money."

"The structure of a plot with a sense of fate tests the author's grasp of the overall plot. The more sophisticated the structure, the more inevitable the fate, the more attractive it is to readers." She shrugged and continued, "To put it simply, if it is just for the sake of making money, I will of course write a plot that readers like to read."

"——Like the battles between wealthy families, time-traveling sadomasochism, and campus sweetness?"

Luo Shiqin: "...If you like to watch these, that's fine."

The other party sent a picture of a cosmic cat.

"——Then I am the former," the other party said bluntly, "After all, the mental state of cartoonists is quite worrying. It is common to occasionally kill one or two readers, right?"

Luo Shiqin: "You are quite proud."

"——But come to think of it, even if our plots for the climax are different, there is at least one thing that is very similar."

"——Preparation before the climax begins."

The cartoonist said: "It's like the classic saying in the game, 'There must be supplies before a big battle', and this is also true for novels and comics."

“Under the calm surface, undercurrents are surging. When everyone in the play thinks that things are on the right track and are about to reach the end smoothly and safely, huge changes come quietly.”

The cartoonist held up his hands: "This is 'drama'."

She even added: "After all, who doesn't like to have fun?"

This sentence gave Luo Shiqin great inspiration yesterday.

If she had remained vigilant, perhaps the so-called "climax" would have taken a long time to come. But she is still a human being, and she will eventually relax mentally.

But if nothing is prepared, we will still not be able to cope with the subsequent changes.

Yesterday, Luo Shiqin was still unclear about what would happen in the future and what kind of changes would appear in her life, but she had a new plan.

GT can think for her and prepare supplies before the battle.

Luo Shiqin herself will play an NPC who "thinks everything is over and lives peacefully."

The former hides behind the scenes and makes preparations, while the latter is on the front stage, ready to perform at any time.

Just like now: the climax has arrived as promised, and Luo Shiqin's pre-war preparations for delivering the GT have been perfectly achieved.

"Yulu, you can stop now."

After receiving the call from the mayor, the police officer put down his hands and waved to the soldiers who were standing by to signal them to stop.

Afterwards, he took a few steps forward, put his hand on the white-haired boy's shoulder and patted him, then he walked past the remaining deer and stood at the front of the team.

Across from them, the woman's eyes passed over the back of Li Ye's head and she spoke again: "Nazar."

"——Of course! Of course!"

Nazar's exaggerated voice rang out: "Of course, all of this is subject to your will!"

Li Ye turned around, revealing her bloody face twisted in pain. Her lips were raised high, smiling strangely: "But may I ask, is this your request... or Lord Abanahe's instruction?"

Luo Shiqin looked back at it.

"Request? Instructions?"

She suddenly laughed with a sarcastic look, but quickly restrained herself, turning into an indescribable arrogance.

“It’s an order,” the woman said, her voice soft but chilling. “Nazar, it’s [my] order.”

The silver-white engraved one-eyed creature paused, and was about to say, "Even the host of Lord Abanach cannot interfere with the competition of the Eye of Observation," but soon, a creepy feeling of being stared at made it bite Li Ye's tongue hard, and it didn't say the words.

It was a little flustered, and Li Ye, who was in pain, opened his mouth wide again, wanting to carefully observe the true face of this "Lord Abanach host".

Previously, on the second floor of the hospital, it had only had a cursory look at the glory of Lord Abanahe.

The silvery-white single eye almost pierces through the host's neck, but compared to the "Eye of Observation" which is like a child's doodle, the real Abanagh, which can observe and even interfere with the future direction, is more like a carefully crafted art.

Nazar suddenly had a bad feeling.

At first, it thought that Lord Abanagh had finally chosen such a human female as a host to stay here. Even if she was just an ordinary human, it would show the most respectful and kind attitude to this host.

But now...

The woman's eyes, which should have been ordinary brown-black, glowed faintly with gold under the dark sky. That color even gradually covered her neck, the glory of Abanahe!

Who is she?

Shouldn't this guy just be the host of Master Abanahe?!

How could a mere human woman be more powerful than Lord Abanagh—

It suddenly became speechless.

Because the true form of all the "Observing Eyes" in Nazar's heart, the "Abanagh" they revered, was now glowing with a pitiful light silver light, slowly opening its eyes on the woman's neck and looking at it calmly.

The evil god Abanagh, the silver-white one-eyed being that can observe and interfere with the future, now obediently rests on the woman's neck, exerting pressure on his clone.

Nazar: !!!

Li Ye closed his mouth unexpectedly and almost bit the root of his tongue before he realized that he had regained control of his body.

She looked at Luo Shiqin in astonishment, then her gaze gradually moved down from the other's strange eyes to meet those silvery-white eyes that could be called artistic beauty.

The other party seemed to be in a low mood, and squinted his eyes lazily. She could clearly see from his words that he "didn't want to go to work".

Then, Luo Shiqin raised her hand, and her fingertips fell on the neck - also on the pupil of the silver-white eye.

His eyes were closed, and he seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep contentedly.

Li Ye, who was still vomiting blood: ???

How come the Observation Eye is divided into Buyer Show and Buyer Show? !

Nazar's calmness, or rather his aloofness, helped Luo Shiqin and others gain the official trust to a great extent.

After a brief negotiation, several people boarded a police car and headed to the mayor's current location.

Mei Huayue was sitting on a chair, and opposite her was a fully armed armed police officer. Even she couldn't help but look away.

"Why do I feel like we are being escorted..." She whispered, tugging at Luo Shiqin's clothes for help, "Master?"

Luo Shiqin: "Master?"

She was still thinking, but was suddenly shocked by the master's words and came back to her senses.

She looked at her watch and said, "You should call your family first. Li Ye, you too."

As she spoke, Luo Shiqin took out her cell phone and prepared to dial.

The armed policeman sitting opposite the three men moved his lips as if he wanted to say something, but the captain - the officer who answered the phone earlier shook his head and held down his restless hand.

"Yes!"

Mei Huayue hurriedly picked up her phone to make a call. Before pressing the button, she suddenly looked up at the policeman's expression and said, "Uh... can we make a call now?"

The police officer smiled at her kindly and said, "Well, it's okay. You have to let your family know that you are safe."

"...Hello? Mom - nothing, just a phone call. Are you okay over there?"

After a few words of conversation, Mei Huayue hung up the phone contentedly and looked at other people.

Luo Shiqin was on an international long-distance call and was still listening to the ringing tone on the other end of the phone.

"--Hello?"

Luo Shiqin: "Mom, it's me."

She whispered, "Are you and Dad doing well overseas now? Has anything happened overseas recently?"

"——Nothing, what's wrong, young lady?"

Luo Shiqin remained calm and said, "You and Dad should take your ID card, passport and other things that can prove your identity, as well as some cash, and head to the embassy as quickly as possible."

"——Huh? What's going on? What are you doing?"

Luo Shiqin: "The embassy sent me a message saying they couldn't contact you. I don't know what the specific matter is, but it looks very urgent. Mom, I remember you and Dad arranged to stay nearby, right?"

The other side seemed to say something again.

Soon, the officer noticed that her frown relaxed slightly.

"Yes, yes, that's right, let's go now. They are in a hurry over there...Okay, be careful on the road."

She hung up the phone and let out a breath.

"Now, can we talk?" the police officer sitting opposite them asked softly with a kind expression.

Luo Shiqin's expression was incredibly calm: "No, wait for me for a few more minutes."

"GT," she called, "report on what's happening around the country right now."

A small mechanical ball slipped out of Mei Huayue's pocket right under the eyes of everyone in the car. Even she was surprised: "Why are you in my pocket?!"

She had thought the GT was on the roof!

The little robot ball answered honestly: "Ms. Luo Shiqin once issued an order to protect Ms. Mei Huayue."

Mei Huayue turned her head quickly, tears welling up in her eyes: "Shiqin——"

"After all, you've had too many accidents." When it comes to this, Luo Shiqin couldn't help but want to complain.

No matter whether it is Xi Duoduo or the smart world, now there are signs of doomsday escape from her side. Luo Shiqin is really afraid that she will travel through time next.

Are novelists prone to accidents?

Luo Shiqin couldn't help but think of the rough experiences she had gone through in the past four months.

Let's put the idle talk aside for now.

GT quickly followed her request and reported the latest situation across the country in the narrow car - similar situations that had occurred in the Third People's Hospital before occurred in many places.

The originally somewhat relaxed atmosphere became completely stagnant at this moment.

"How could this happen..."

Li Ye murmured, "Nazar didn't expect this. Why?"

"How can you possibly observe a future of this magnitude?" Nazar, who had been silent for a long time, spoke again, but this time without the previous exaggeration. "Unless you pay with your life, maybe I will be moved for a while and let you see the future."

Nazar said calmly: "This is an inevitable future. Unless it is Lord Abanagh, no 'Observing Eye' can easily shake such a future."

The eyes on the tongue looked meaningfully at the thoughtful woman.

"So, you knew this would happen?" the police officer asked solemnly. "Then, I would like to ask these... 'infected' humans,"

He had difficulty saying this word, as if he didn't know how to describe it.

"Can it be changed back again?"

Nazar said sarcastically, "How is that possible? This kind of change is irreversible, just like the qualitative change caused by the quantitative change. After the qualitative change, things will never degenerate no matter how hard you try."

"Degeneration? Are you saying that the group of people just now are 'evolving'?!"

Mei Huayue joined the conversation. She recalled the group of monsters she had seen before that could no longer be called human. She felt a chill in hindsight: "How is it possible—"

"How is it impossible?" Nazar sneered, "Do you think humans are the best of all creatures? To me, such 'monsters' are the evolution of humans."

"Their five senses are a hundred times stronger, and their physical qualities are visibly stronger than humans', but they have lost their minds. So far, humans haven't done many smart things."

While instructing GT to synchronize the information with the mayor, Luo Shiqin quickly made several backup plans based on the current situation.

After hearing what Nazar said, Luo Shiqin suddenly asked, "So this incident was also started by humans?"

Nazar: "...I didn't say anything."

It closed its eyes again and did not respond no matter how Li Ye tried to connect to it.

Luo Shiqin raised her head and looked across: "You heard it too, right?"

There was total silence in the police car, and everyone's expressions were complicated and unpredictable.

The police officer exhaled and said with difficulty: "Now, the most important thing is how to control it..."

"This change is irreversible, and the conditions for infection are unclear." Luo Shiqin's eyes were calm. "Everyone may mutate at any time and anywhere."

Those two words made everyone's heart sink even more.

"——I need a lot of paper," she said suddenly, "and a pen, preferably a brush, and cinnabar."

The woman said casually, "Thunderclouds can temporarily control the mutated people. They can be used for emergency purposes."

The car behind them was escorted by a small thundercloud. It didn't hurt anyone to be confused, but it made everyone dizzy when they woke up.

"Although Nazar talks about 'evolution', it is clear that they still have some remnants of human characteristics," she paused, "except for reason."

Police officer: "Excuse me, may I ask who you are?"

Luo Shiqin: …

This was a bit difficult for her.

On the surface, she was just a fresh graduate. Although she had opened a studio, it had only been there for a short time.

As for the Hades diplomat, mutant containment institute employee, part-time death god...

Can I still complain if I haven’t paid the five insurances and one fund?

Or do you say you are flexibly employed?

Luo Shiqin fell into deep thought for a moment.
