Book of Creation
The masked man didn't suspect anything and pushed the door open from a crack until it was half open. "Come in."
There is a hidden world inside the door.
The room led down to three floors. On the corner platform of the spiral staircase, a beautiful Omega in a black dress was displaying the items for auction.
The terraced stands around the stairs were sparsely populated with guests, all wearing painted masks.
"Is business bad tonight?" Su Liu asked the masked man who led the way.
The masked man's eyes showed a hint of amusement. "Is this your first time here? Here, too many people is not a good thing."
Then, he led Su Liu and the others to the number plate and asked, "What's the room number?"
"302," Qi Fengling said.
The masked man paused for a moment before finding the number plate from a hidden corner and handing it to Su Liu.
"Why isn't this room number put together with the others?" Su Liu asked with feigned curiosity.
"Ah... because I like this number more, I put it away separately." There seemed to be a hint of annoyance in the masked man's tone.
Su Liu couldn't help but smile secretly behind her veil. In Qi Fengling's book, the protagonist named Lou became an orphan at a very young age and was raised by the kind-hearted man who lived across the street from the community. He was smart and good at studying. Later, he used half of his life savings to buy the house of the kind-hearted man who had to sell his house because of business difficulties.
That house is Room 302.
It is also the home of my childhood sweetheart.
But he didn't want the house.
When he returned to his hometown many years later, he did not go up to take a look. The three numbers 302 had become his curse.
The parents of the childhood sweetheart were indeed nice people, but their kindness was not enough to allow them to marry their only daughter to an orphan like the protagonist who had no one to rely on. When the protagonist was young, there were things that he couldn't understand, but he understood them clearly when he grew up. However, he still loved his childhood sweetheart, so he came to the small hotel for the date.
Unbeknownst to the protagonist, however, it wasn't Qingmei who had invited him here, but Qingmei's father, a once-good man whose back had been broken by the weight of life. Although the protagonist hadn't completed the transfer procedures since buying the house, and they feigned ignorance, the protagonist remained a constant threat to their family. So, Qingmei's father devised a plan: to kill the protagonist. He felt that after all these years, the protagonist still harbored evil intentions towards his daughter, believing him to deserve death. Qingmei's father, thinking this, acted without hesitation.
——A great favor seems like a great hatred.
His surname is Lou and he is a boss. The prototype of this protagonist seems to be living a good life.
After Su Liu took a pill and left, the masked man found the hotel waiter and knocked on the counter with his knuckles, waking up the snoring waiter lying on the chair. He suppressed his anger and asked, "Why is room 302 open too?"
"...Boss? Why are you coming down here?" The servant quickly wiped his saliva and stood up. "On these six floors, only room 302 doesn't have a key. I thought it was lost, so I... thought about getting a duplicate."
The boy used to be a pickpocket, so making keys was a piece of cake for him and he was very skilled at it.
The masked man didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and took the key off the keychain. "Remember next time, I kept this room on purpose."
"What's wrong with this room? There seems to be blood in it. Could it be..." The servant opened his eyes wide.
"That's pig's blood. Anyway, don't worry about it. That room has a special meaning to me," the masked man kicked the servant.
The servant quickly twisted his butt and dodged. He smiled wickedly and said, "Hey, boss, you can't kick me."
"See if I can kick it..."
After playing around for a while, the masked man walked up the stairs humming a song with ease. His hand holding the key slowly clenched. He was a new resident and was fundamentally different from the natives of this world. This was his biggest secret.
After settling here, he imitated the small hotel he had seen in that magical space and arranged 302 to look familiar to him. It was the place where he died and also the place of his rebirth.
In that desperate space, he, who had escaped death and possessed magical life-extending points, used these points to keep Qingmei's father alive, allowing him to endure the pain of a terminal illness for two years. Later, when he saw that Qingmei and her mother were really pitiful for taking care of this man, he let go of the family.
As if thinking of some unpleasant experience, the masked man's humming stopped for a few seconds and quickly returned to a cheerful tone.
A hundred meters away, out of sight of the masked man, Su Liu and Qi Fengling caught this scene with their dynamic vision, both of them baffled. "It seems he really is the protagonist of that book. What's wrong with you? Everything you write becomes real. How can a creator like you write a book?"
Qi Fengling begged for mercy, "I was wrong. I will never write again."
Su Liu thought about it. In addition to Spark City and Dilapidated Hotel, Qi Fengling also wrote three books, namely Man in the Mirror, Convenience Store and Midnight Snack Street.
Each book has a lot of words, and when it was published, there were twelve or thirteen parts in one book. The comics, animations and TV series of the same name adapted from the novel were not completed when Qi Fengling passed away.
Fortunately, there is so much content that Qi Fengling is not very productive in a sense, otherwise Su Liu would be worried to death.
Among these three books, The Man in the Mirror is Qi Fengling’s famous work, and Convenience Store is the one with a CP.
"The protagonists in your works have miserable life stories. After completing the game, they choose to settle here. I don't know whether it is a blessing or a curse," Su Liu said with emotion.
Qi Fengling pecked Su Liu and said with a smile, "The rest of the story will depend on Master Su Liu providing them with a good living environment."
"You're so annoying and hateful. You even asked me to help you clean up the mess," Su Liu stood on tiptoe and bit Qi Fengling's lips.
"You come again?" Qi Fengling immediately pretended to fight back.
"Don't bite me. If it gets swollen, I'll never forgive you," Su Liu quickly dodged.
"Just bite her," Qi Fengling chased after her and threatened Su Liu.
The two vampires returned to the villa rented by Dang Xia, laughing and joking.
For vampires, late at night is the most energetic time of the day.
Dangxia turned into a little bat and hung on the treetop in the middle of the yard to watch the show. No one knew what he saw, but he laughed "hehe".
Su Liu coughed a few times, bringing Dang Xia back to his senses as he looked around. "I seemed to have heard that the beauty pageant was held every three years. How come it suddenly became once a year? It seems like there were two this year?"
"The three-year session was ten years ago. Later, the number of blood clans increased, and there were all kinds of birds in the forest. Three years was too long for some lustful people, so it soon became a yearly session. Moreover, strictly speaking, the session in January this year was actually a make-up session because something happened last year. So in order to distinguish it, the human organizers generally refer to it as 'last year's session'." Dang Xia changed into human form and sat down to drink blood wine.
"What could happen?" Su Liu looked at Qi Fengling. Qi Fengling didn't seem to know the details, so Su Liu had to look at Dang Xia again.
The blood wine exudes a fruity aroma in the shaken glass. It is peach wine.
"This is a long story. It starts with an escaped blood slave..." Dang Xia diligently poured a glass for Su Liu.
Su Liu picked it up and smelled it closely. The smell of blood was stronger than the fruit, which made him lose interest immediately.
"...About seven years ago, two beautiful human omegas were snatched off the street by a low-ranking vampire on their way home. They were to serve as garden elks for that year's 'Peach Yao Rendezvous'. One of the omegas died soon after, but the remaining one seemed to have a strong will to survive, having managed to hold on for six years, six generations. Last year, a vampire suggested placing him on the dining table as a 'gift' for the vampires to dismantle. This way, the omega was bound to die, and the vampires seemed to want to see him struggle but unable to escape. But... a strange thing happened. The 'gift' that was clearly there suddenly disappeared..."
"It's a mirror." Su Liu said.
"Yes, there was something wrong with the mirror. Later, after investigation, we found that the angle of the mirror in the banquet hall was wrong, but no one noticed it at the time. When we went to look for the Omega later, he seemed to have disappeared inexplicably. Some vampires are still looking for him. They think this Omega must have something special." Dang Xia was amazed.
The Omega who escaped should be Hu Xi, Su Liu thought.
Hu Sui once told Lao Li that she had no news of her son for half a year, as if he had evaporated from the face of the earth. Later, some false news came in one after another. Hu Sui kept looking for him but could not find him. Finally, in July last year, on the eve of the beauty pageant, her son suddenly returned home and fainted at the doorstep.
In chronological order, after Hu Xi escaped from the "Taoyao Promise", he hid and wandered for another three months. During this period, he found that the vampires did not know who he was, and did not attack his mother, so he chose to go home.
Su Liu guessed that the person who saved Hu Xi should be the protagonist of the Man in the Mirror.
The protagonist of the novel "Man in the Mirror" is a cute sixteen-year-old Alpha, an age when Alphas are at their most youthful and passionate. However, his life story was tragic. He was strangled and buried alive by his stepfather. On the day of his death, his stepfather burned everything in his schoolbag, except for the mirror he had intended to give to his mother.
"Little beast, only if you die can your mother and I live well, do you understand?" The stepfather's face was grim, as if he was well versed in the law of the jungle: only by killing the cubs can the lioness become pregnant again. The stepfather coldly threw the antique mirror from his schoolbag at the protagonist's face at the bottom of the pit. "What a piece of crap! You're a little Alpha, how can you be so conceited and have something like this in your schoolbag?"
The corner of the mirror scratched the protagonist's forehead, and the pain woke him, but he had no strength. How could a child possibly withstand the full force of an adult? Tired and thirsty, he forced half-open eyes to look at his stepfather, who was shoveling dirt and gravel.
"Don't blame me for being ruthless. Blame yourself if you want to blame someone. Why did you reincarnate into my wife's belly?" The night wind in early spring was still a little chilly. My stepfather shuddered, and his fear of the darkness made his tone become weird.
At this time, the phone rang. It was my mother calling.
The stepfather glanced at the protagonist and clicked on the hands-free mode.
"Are you still working overtime? Tangtang is missing, come back soon and help me look for her," came the mother's anxious voice from the other end of the phone.
"But I can't leave...Adolescents like to play, and most of them go out to play. Have you forgotten that today is Friday? Maybe he plays games all night long." The stepfather's tone seemed a little worried, but he showed a smug smile when he glanced at the protagonist.
Perhaps it was because before the stepfather married the mother, the Alpha pretended to love the protagonist very much, so the protagonist's mother didn't suspect anything and just smiled helplessly: "This child, why didn't you tell me you were going out to play? He never does this."
"You forgot that you confiscated his cell phone since the last time you quarreled with him. How can you ask him to tell you in advance now? Besides, since you and I got married, he often loses his temper with you. He probably still hates me," the stepfather began to sigh.
"You're talking nonsense again. How does Tangtang hate you? Okay, okay, don't think too much. Just go to work and come back early." The protagonist's mother comforted him softly.
My stepfather laughed and said, "You should go to bed early too."
"I'll look for him again, for another half an hour. If I still can't find him, I'll just leave him alone. The little brat is really itching for trouble," the mother scolded with a mixture of love and hate.
Half an hour?
This place is not a place that can be reached in half an hour.
The stepfather raised his eyebrows, said a few more words, then deliberately moved closer to the protagonist and pressed the hang-up button.
At this time, the protagonist was too weak to make a sound for help. He opened his mouth slightly and finally shed bitter tears.
After that day, the protagonist became the man in the mirror and began to punish evil and promote good.
