"The above content was published before his story was cut short by the journal. The subsequent content is about a Sherlock Holmes-like opponent appearing on the detective's side. This Sherlock Holmes saw through all the schemes of the laborers and, in a very strange way, even obtained evidence..."
"At the end of the story, although the worker lost, he realized that he didn't lose to Sherlock Holmes, but to an unknown person who wielded mysterious power and was the mastermind behind the scenes..."
"Zhang Mofei hasn't thought about the plot further down the line. He's hesitant now about how to design the final reversal so that readers will be amazed – wow, this is the truth…"
"He also wanted to use the story as a way to criticize society from the perspective of a working person, demonstrating how difficult it is for a mortal to develop their inherent talents. He wanted to use the mastermind behind the scenes as a metaphor for that difficulty."
Bai Fu listened to Su Ze's description with great interest and commented, "It sounds like a very good story. Why was it cut short?"
Su Ze smiled and said, "Who knows? Maybe the story was designed ingeniously, but the final product wasn't as exciting as expected. Or maybe it's just a simple audience problem. Consumers who like to read periodicals aren't interested in this kind of suspenseful and mysterious story."
With a smile on her delicate face, Bai Fu let out an "Oh".
Su Ze opened the newspaper that Bai Fu handed him with a swish, and glanced at the corner of the newspaper page, and saw a piece of not-so-important news...
The content description above.
In a nearby village, there is a farmer who raises beef cattle, which seem to be frequently stolen. In addition, there is often a disgusting and unbearable stench in the village.
The reporter who wrote the article conducted an in-depth investigation into this matter.
And eventually heard some strange rumors.
And the core figures in this rumor are... the Wilbur family.
"The monster named Wilbur has been reported in the newspaper." Bai Fu sat down for a while and said.
"Yeah..." Su Ze nodded, "In a few days, Wilbur will be forced to plan ahead and take risks to go to the nearby Miskatonic University to steal the Book of the Dead because of the exploration and pressure from the outside world."
Bai Fu looked thoughtful and asked, "Is this what you mean by...let the situation develop and just watch?"
Su Ze closed the newspaper and smiled mysteriously: "Well, Wilbur will open the door himself, and then... we can see the omniscient and omnipotent God."
Bai Fu caught the key words and asked, "We?"
Su Ze kept it a secret and said, "It was a 'reward' three days ago. I'll do it again. This time you have to listen to me... Don't worry, the answer won't disappoint you."
Bai Fu's eyes were as charming as silk, and her face was smiling. She looked Su Ze up and down and said, "Well, it's done."
Su Ze finally spoke truthfully: "I don't know why, but no matter how you get along with me, maybe you can ask Yog-Sothoth a question, and He will tell you unconditionally... But you can only ask one question. The second question, that guy will never answer it no matter what."
Is there such a thing?
Bai Fu's pretty face was filled with surprise, although she also mastered the art of predicting the future.
But the upper limit of this ability is too low.
If there are any mythical or higher level factors interfering, don't even think about making a clear deduction.
And Su Ze...apparently he could even predict the mood of the gods of the universe in advance.
"It seems that I need to think in advance about what questions to ask?" Bai Fu asked with a sweet smile after quickly digesting her surprise.
"Probably..." Su Ze smiled.
He still has some reservations...
He had simulated this many times in the past two days. Whether it was him or Bai Fu, they could only ask Yog-Sothoth one question, and this question... was fixed.
It's like an established procedure.
In the already written program, there is only the answer to that question, displayed.
No matter how you ask, you will only get one answer.
It is worth mentioning that.
In the simulation, Su Ze also tried to take other passersby to meet Yog-Sothoth, but it didn't work. Those passersby couldn't "see" Yog-Sothoth at all...
