"Dream?"
“That’s the dream.”
The shell delivered the sound to her ears, as gentle as if it was telling a story.
"There will be no more gaps in the world, and all things will no longer be equal."
"Living beings have no distinction between appearance, gender, race, or class."
“We’re going back to the basics.”
"As close as brothers."
"Be brothers and sisters."
Unit Summary
First of all, I want to apologize. The ending of this volume was very difficult to write, which caused me to hold back from yesterday morning until now. I am afraid that I don’t have the energy to slowly look through the reward list for the time being...
So the reward list will be sent out tomorrow, and you can also use this time to sort out your IDs and so on, so that the entire thank-you chapter will not be rejected and withdrawn because of a few crazy people - in fact, this has already happened once.
Back to the plot summary.
I believe most people can see that the theme of this volume is relatively new, and it has one biggest difference from previous units: you don't need to spend too much effort guessing who the murderer is.
Countless clues have come together to almost put the word "murderer" on someone's face.
This is actually a new and old experience for me.
Why do you say it is old?
Because this volume really needs to write a big scene...
It is not as simple as the grand scenes in the past few units, but it must be bigger, more vast, more magnificent in momentum, and give a sense of oppression just by words!
Readers who have read Jadeite will definitely understand this - isn't this what Jadeite often does?
But I have indeed been away from the state of writing about Jade for too long, because even if the detective collection is not a pure detective novel, it can be said that it is just a layer of skin, but it is impossible to pursue too much description of momentum, and too much of such description will do no good.
I almost forgot how to write this kind of thing, so when the need arises, I am forced to go back and look through jadeite to see how I handled “momentum” in the past, and try to learn some more of the feeling.
Then I often read for hours, wasting half a day.
...Just kidding -w-
I really hope it will be effective, not only because - the plot has really reached this stage, you can't drag it out any longer, hiding things here and there, hesitating and relying on side quests to drag out time, learning from Conan... but also because the main theme involved in this unit, that is, the difficult problem they argued about in the end, is itself too vast and too grand.
How dare I give it a dull ending?
I must design something worthy of it!
I hope it really works, and I will learn to continue to improve.
Let’s talk about “novelty”.
I say this because, for the first time, I have tried to combine the best of both books.
Meticulous and magnificent.
What’s more important is the story that emerges behind it.
Because what is discussed at the end of this unit is indeed quite rigid and serious. Compared with the various answers given in many works, I hope to mix in a little of my personal understanding.
At the same time, this also makes this world more real and even further highlights the flesh and blood of gold.
From the very beginning when I was conceiving the idea, I was thinking: Why can't gold betray?
What exactly is our definition of betrayal?
At what point does it count as betrayal?
What degree of betrayal is unforgivable, and what degree of betrayal can be forgiven?
The Mechanical Sun Cult that I created is essentially a guardian that shields mortals from the rain in a near-apocalyptic environment, while fragilely calling out prayers to something that does not exist.
The pressure they bear is enough to drive them into mental illness. Can this be solved by such empty faith?
I don't think so, so I tried to overturn some of my past obsessions and strive to write a new villain who is terribly wrong, but you can't really tell where exactly she is wrong.
It’s not easy... Almost all creators want to create this kind of character, because they are really charming, and they can also convey values and seduce people, how cool is that.
So I tried my best to avoid homogenization. To do this, I could only put a little more understanding into it.
To put it bluntly, understanding is personal opinion, and if there is too much personal opinion, the article will be boring. I tried my best to maintain a balance in this regard, but I'm not sure... Anyway, I hope I can do it.
In this regard, I can’t say that banning barrage has no impact on me...but I can’t say whether it is a negative or positive impact.
Because I actually didn’t plan to write such a long post at the beginning of the month…
I didn’t intend to write something so “big”, nor did I intend to exaggerate the momentum.
The lack of feedback made me calm down more, and before I knew it, it was written down.
...Anyway, no matter what you think, don't stop commenting.
Really, these days are still very difficult for the author.
Finally, I would like to recommend a book at the end - "Adventure in Teyvat Accompanied by a Girl"
I know that some of the readers of my books don't like this kind of subject matter, so I won't force them. Whether they support it or not is purely up to the individual~
The main reason I recommend this book is because the author is so cute.
It's not the kind of cuteness that is deliberately pretended, but the natural silly cuteness.
Let me give you an example and you will understand: in dnf fan fiction, others write about ghost swordsmen, but he insists on writing about female priests.
Just write it, and write several million words in one go.
Really, I admire you for being able to persevere.
This time, this is his new book. Unfortunately, it happened to coincide with a special situation. The data is dismal, and it is not certain whether he can sign the contract...
I feel that there are fewer and fewer authors like him in , and as time goes by, there will be fewer and fewer authors. So I hope I can help promote him here and give him some support.
This book is not a traditional bulldozer adventure either. The protagonist is said to have replaced his sister, but is a long-haired version.
And it is said that the protagonist will be more innocent.
...still a bit flirty, huh?
If you are interested, please bookmark and vote for support!
Ok, that’s it.
Let me take a break tomorrow and think about how to write Unit 12...

The sound of bells echoed, and under the cover of night, a group of people marched out of the White Shadow Palace.
Unlike the usual patrols, the soldiers and knights were wearing pure black cloaks, black tassels on their heads, and black flags on their guns. The solemn atmosphere was so great that even the crows did not dare to cry on the branches.
A car followed the team through the treetops and slowly moved away under the escort of the knights.
Inside the car, Daken Senar exhaled cold air, reached out to wipe away the mist on the glass, and looked at the street passing by.
It's two o'clock in the morning.
Most of the city's residents had gone to bed hours ago. There were few lights on the streets, only the shadows of lampposts passing overhead with precise timing.
"I have to thank you, Your Majesty, because I didn't expect you to be willing to accompany me to do this..."
Senar spoke in the cold air, his eyes directed at the person sitting opposite him.
It was a young girl with snow-white hair and blue eyes, wearing a finely woven cotton gown with pearls on every button.
Because the weather was getting colder, she also put on a dark green cloak outside, tied it lightly, and leaned there, reading a book with the help of a hanging flashlight.
"Oh! It's too polite of you to say that." The girl raised her face from the pages of the book, pursed her lips slightly and said to him.
"No matter what, Lavos has done a lot of positive work over the years and he deserves the respect from everyone."
"But it's also true that he did something wrong." Senar closed his eyes, his lips and body trembling.
"He could have told me everything... let me try to help him solve the problem. His secrecy and distrust led to this, these losses... he must also be held responsible for this."
"How can we force a person to be without any flaws?"
The girl continued to read the book and said, "His theory laid the foundation for the subsequent disintegration of those people. I don't care where the theory came from, but it works, and that's enough."
"...Your Majesty, do you really think so?" Senar hesitated and tilted his head slightly to look at her face carefully.
If the other party had a background like King Torredo, he would never have such doubts.
But you have to know that the person sitting opposite him is the most noble person in the country. She can do whatever she wants, but why would she listen to such a theory... at the cost of undermining her own power?
"It seems that I am not even as good as him in your hearts." The girl closed the book while sighing.
Senar's gaze was too intense, and she found it difficult to calm down.
"Bai Yangmu made such a sacrifice that the power was smoothly transferred to me." She looked up and looked directly into the old man's eyes.
"In your eyes, am I so shallow that I can't even think of sacrificing or devoting myself to something?"
"I dare not..." Senar lowered his head humbly.
But he did not dispel his worries. There was no reason, because such deception seemed too common to him. The only difference was that this time he had no way to deal with the person who might deceive him, that was all.
"If I just wanted to enjoy myself, I wouldn't take over this business." The girl turned her green eyes, seeming to see through his thoughts.
"I could have proposed at the time to choose one of his descendants... that is, my brothers, to sit in this position, or simply set up a puppet, and I could have hidden behind like before."
"..." Senar frowned but said nothing.
"Why should I explain all this to you?" Seeing him like this, the girl in the white dress suddenly felt very bored.
"Senar, believe it or not."
"I have absolutely no intention of distrusting Your Majesty." The old man bowed his head humbly again, and then cleverly tried to change the subject: "...I heard that the Goliath envoy arrived in Nanxinze three days ago."
"Yes." The girl glanced into space and tapped her fingers on the book cover. "Goli's evil disaster is out of control. They came to Sara for help."
"Your Majesty, are you going to help them?"
"If you ask me now, I can't give you an answer." The girl glanced at him and raised her eyebrows. "It depends on how valuable the things they brought are. After all, we are currently cleaning up the internal affairs. Before everything is over, it is best not to have any conflicts with the crazy people of Eclipse..."
"The Eclipse Church has moved north to Aisha and occupied this lost continent." Senar said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, have you heard that they have been particularly active in coastal cities recently? What they do is not to kill people, but to plunder the local population."
"They want to develop a new empire with Aisha as their base." The girl said disdainfully, "Even if we let them do it, they won't be able to succeed. They don't have the ability to do so."
"But we must be careful that they are just trying to gather people for sacrifice." Senar added, "Your Majesty can try to discuss this matter with Goli's envoys, or even pay a higher price and ask them to send elite troops to conduct a deeper investigation."
"The Goliaths are almost extinct, so where would they find their elite troops?" The girl was very surprised. "Are you talking about their lord's private army?"
The last dynasty of the Goliaths collapsed this year, and now only the lords and their subjects survive on that land.
The lord's private army may be considered elite due to the constant need to fight against evil spirits. However, such troops are always used to protect the lord himself, so he would not want to send them to die in vain.
"Strictly speaking, the Plantagenet dynasty has not yet become extinct." Senar took out the envelope from his arms at the right time, opened it in front of the girl, pulled out the letter, stretched it out, and handed it to her with both hands.
"They still have an... heir."
The girl took the letter and scanned it with a half-frowned brow.
"So it was him, the wandering hunter..."
"Do the lords of Goli know?" she suddenly put down the letter and asked sternly.
