The Spirit World

Chapter 469 Returning
“I want to write…”

amount……

He sat in his room, wiggling his hips and biting the pen on his phone.

There are many small teeth marks on the pen.

"Actually, I just wanted to write a story about a boy who simply fights a big devil... just like... in a fairy tale... but now it seems so difficult... my head is about to explode..."

He said as he scratched his back again.

Behind him was his bed, and sitting on it was a woman in a white dress, looking carefully at the white booklet beside her.

Sometimes she gently touched the hair hanging down on her shoulders, and sometimes she pursed her lips gently, looking at the rows and rows of boys above, which were so densely packed that she frowned uncomfortably.

"Wait a minute... Gong Xin, I saw my name... Junichi Tachibana... This... is not changed at all... What did you write me as..." She looked at Gong Xin who was leaning back in his chair in front of the table, thinking, and said with a smile: "I... I won't say these words... How is this little girl like me..."

"Yeah... it's not... I think your name sounds nice... The surname Ju is much rarer than Ximen, Shangguan, etc. You can tell at a glance that it's not a real name."

He stated this reason calmly, returning the name of the person and the name of the character in the novel to one person.

Gong Xin put his hands on the chair and turned sideways to look at the woman with some baby fat.

She had a princess cut haircut, and she said it made her face look smaller and cute. When Gong Xin said that it was okay to have a big face, Tachibana Junyi rolled his eyes at him and took the manuscript on his desk and started reading.

I found my name halfway through reading it.

On Jun'ichi Tachibana's note, it was clearly written: [Jun'ichi Tachibana, known as the Shadowless Soul-Killing Demon King, ability: Invasion of All Things]

"So, what is this invasion of all things? I don't really understand... other big demons... I can still understand a little bit... but I don't really understand this invasion of all things."

Jun'ichi Tachibana twisted a lock of his hair, still looking at Kyoushin with a frown on his face.

Gong Xin scratched his head again, looked at the ceiling, thought for a long time, then shook his head and sighed: "To be precise, when I first conceived it, there was no such big devil... Otherwise I wouldn't have used your name... This character gave me a very abrupt feeling... At that time, I thought of the invasion of all things, which was a kind of speculation of the mind... You can understand it as the ability to see through everyone's heart... and then make them collapse and die."

"It makes people collapse?"

"Correct."

“It’s hard to understand…”

"Oh... to put it more simply, the nose tribe infected by the demonic energy is the source of the demonic energy infection. Similar to the first host infected by the demonic energy. She can control the demonic energy... I don't know if you can understand..."

Gong Xin wrote a few words on the manuscript, then put down his pen, took the manuscript, tore it up, and threw it into the trash can.

A lot of manuscript papers are thrown into the trash can.

He wrote another piece of manuscript paper, but suddenly stopped writing.

"I understand... Fighting spirit, right... That Fighting Spirit Transformed into a Horse is quite popular... I even watched a few episodes..." Junichi Tachibana turned another page, put her hand on her own little chin, and frowned strangely.

It seems more and more wrong the more I look at it.

Although, there is something indescribably weird about someone with the same name as her doing things in the novel that she would never do.

"It's not Dou Qi, it's spiritual power that's similar to Dou Qi. Oh, no, that's not right...Spiritual power is equivalent to the internal force and true energy in martial arts novels, but they're all called spiritual power. Demonic energy is similar to the plague, but it will turn people... uh, into zombies, or really powerful zombies..."

Gong Xin explained and simply stopped writing, sitting at the table and sipping his coffee slowly.

"Or in other words, is it a kind of potion that can allow people with spiritual power to change their fate? But the side effects are too strong... making it completely impossible. Everyone stays away from it."

It was not known whether Tachibana Junichi understood what she heard or not. Kyoushin seemed to think that she did not understand. He did not ask for anything from someone who had only glanced at his outline.

But I still hope there is someone I can talk to.

"You posted it on... the female channel..." Tachibana Jun'ichi smiled cheerfully, and went back to look at the manuscript paper: "This is obviously the outline of an adventure story... It needs to be posted on the male channel... Although your settings are pretty good, girls won't watch your story of fighting and killing..."

"Tsk... I felt my writing skills were terrible at the time... I wrote this to try my hand... But, I used all the settings, so I practiced while writing... Anyway... I wrote it with great care..."

"This... If I were to write a recommendation for you... How should I write it? I don't quite understand... You must be writing a stand-alone game... You put all your carefully designed settings on it, aren't you afraid that it will be wasted? It's hard to get a good result..." Tachibana Junichi was amazed, but he didn't feel any regret. He looked at the thick manuscript paper over and over again.

"Tsk... nothing..." Gong Xin put down his coffee cup, touched his chin and said: "A writer's imagination... if he has real talent and knowledge, he will only write better and better... if you are afraid of running out of ideas, then don't do this job..."

"You... didn't make any money... you stay at home every day... I think you still have to write for a long time... just to live off your savings?" Tachibana Junyi looked at Gong Xin, Gong Xin sighed, and she also sighed.

After closing the manuscript, she stood up, her white dress fluttering in the wind.

"Didn't you take the teaching qualification exam? That's the serious matter..."

"I never thought of becoming a great writer... I just... I just want to write this story well... You have to finish what you start..."

Gong Xin sighed, but smiled and said: "It's nothing... I can't make any money because my writing is not good... That's okay... I'll just try my best to write well..."

"No, no, no, these things depend to a large extent on the operation... If you can recommend a novel to ten people, eight of them are discouraged by what you wrote at the beginning, one person reads it but is discouraged by your later part, and the other person reads it and supports you, then this is only one tenth of the promotion and distribution rate... Not to mention that the novel industry relies heavily on the fame and skills of the writer, just the capital operation you understand can make a world of difference in the success of a novel." Jun'ichi Tachibana stretched his muscles and spoke without hesitation. He stretched himself and looked at the wind outside the window. The strong wind made the window shake a little.

"Well... you see, the Jun'ichi Tachibana that I wrote is almost the same... He sees through things like this..." Gong Xin raised his coffee cup again. Although he didn't feel thirsty, he seemed to have a dry mouth and a frightening thirst.

“This kind of thing… how can I explain it… I also know that I can’t be a full-time writer… I’m also supplementing my resume… at least I won’t be like a vagrant… taking exams… or something…” Gong Xin drank his coffee, but his eyes were fixed on the few words he had just written.

【Long Feather Maple】

If these three words were a goddess, then it would make sense that she would be obsessed with them. But these three words... how much meaning does the name have... and how much significance does it have...

"Everyone... is different..." Tachibana Junyi looked at Gong Xin, smiled at him, blinked his right eye sweetly and said: "Right?"

"Um……"

Gong Xin answered, but he didn't nod, instead he stammered. "So... he should be the only one who knows how to move forward... what others say is hard to change him to some extent... this is life... otherwise everyone's life would keep changing, without any basis... in fact, all we can do is... think about whether we can have enough for the next meal..."

Jun'ichi Tachibana looked at the leaves outside the window. The leaves were curling up, like green ribbons that were breaking apart.

"I'm full... To be honest with you, I'm practicing Taoism, haha." Gong Xin's smile was small, but it was still a smile. He took the manuscripts on the table, and put them in order with a few clicks. He then wrapped his neck around it to relax his muscles.

"Hey...thank you for coming here to give me some advice...I will accept it with an open mind..."

“Hmm…” Jun’ichi Tachibana didn’t seem to want to nod “hmm”. He paused, made a “1” with his index finger, and smiled at Gong Xin: “Then, I will allow you to use my name for now… Don’t mess around… I saw her love story, she said she was some aunt-in-law… You… you are too high up in terms of generation, you don’t have any weird habits…”

"Huh? That's definitely not the case..." Gong Xin laughed and spread the pile of manuscript papers flat on the table.

"Is this your dream? Write down the story you want..." Jun'ichi Tachibana walked to the door, then stopped and looked back. It was only three steps from the bed to the door.

"As for dreams... not really. Nowadays, how many dreams can come true... I'm just... a writer of short stories... how can I have any dreams..."

Gong Xin looked at the three words.

【Long Feather Maple】

The name of the protagonist.

"You should... change your mindset... For example, in fantasy, add some emotion, instead of just fantasy. The protagonist can't just work alone all the time. He needs to fight with his wits, get slapped in the face, play the pig and eat the tiger. It's best to turn the tables, or survive from a desperate situation. You shouldn't discuss so many philosophical ideas... You are writing a story, not a Buddhist scripture that teaches people the truth of saving all living beings..."

"Teach me something."

"No, I mean, you gave people the feeling of an adventure story at the beginning. The Pylos and the Iceheart Troll, as long as they appear at the beginning, they must keep appearing. It shouldn't be written in such a discontinuous manner. The conscious growth and so on should also be consistent and can be summarized in a few words. You just need to write what happened, and establish the character, understand? You, the protagonist, are remembered too much by others. It's not that you write badly, it's just that he is good... How should I put it, he is very much like a person with self-awareness. Novels should first establish the character and then write according to the character. Your way is too complicated, resulting in his diverse personality, making people feel that he has some mental classification, and then..."

Jun'ichi Tachibana paused, touched his hair, and threw it to the side.

"That's good. Come on. At least I can feel that Chang Yufeng is flesh and blood. His pragmatic attitude can also be tempered by suffering. I can feel his changes and his self-reflection."

Tachibana Junichi was about to leave, but turned back and said: "A bad guy must have flaws. The Lan Luo you wrote has no flaws, and it makes people feel that the protagonist cannot win... The protagonist will just be running around... It's boring. Everyone has weaknesses... Right... Strengths and weaknesses..."

"But, she is the big devil..." Gong Xin spoke at this time. Everyone listened carefully at the beginning, but did not dare to agree with the latter part.

"The big devils we see are all entertaining and humanized big devils... I think the real big devil will definitely not be defeated by others just because he has such great power... Aren't cold-blooded big devils the ones who kill without leaving any blood, killing people without blinking... If a big devil is called a big devil and is still cheerful and joking with you, then... it's too cheap... it will become a silly novel..."

Gong Xin spread his hands helplessly: "To be honest, I would rather believe that someone knows that the truth of this world is cruel... than live in false happiness all the time... Knowing the cruel truth, without money, you can't move forward, and many people are even hurt by others unintentionally. I don't want those people to say that this kind of stupid thing is nothing more than the author's fantasy after reading my novel, and then oppress those who should be oppressed in reality, and escape in the world of novels... I think those people prefer to entertain themselves with stupid novels... I am not teaching them what they should do in the novel, I just want to tell them that after recognizing the reality, they can still live a fulfilling life, have the courage to create a good life, and survive in the face of suffering..."

“That’s why you write novels, right?”

"No, this is just one of the reasons..."

"What do you want to save...with words?"

"I...can't save anyone...I...can only tell my characters what I think. When readers see what the characters in my novels say, their life experiences may not be that long, so they can't understand the meaning of what I wrote in the novels...When they see the characters in my novels suffer, the first thing they think of is not sympathy, but to see how the characters deal with it. Their good and bad, their thoughts, their willpower and struggle with suffering, I will be satisfied if they can infect the readers."

After Gong Xin finished speaking, he also stood up.

"..." Junichi Tachibana didn't say anything, just looked at him. Her eyes were brown, with a very soft and bright gray covering her head.

She smiled, and her smile looked like a blooming white flower.

"Okay... I know what you mean!"

"Well... write down the instructions you gave me."

"By the way, do you believe in changing one's fate?" Tachibana Jun'ichi tilted his head and smiled even more beautifully like a flower: "For example, if your novel that is impossible to become a hit becomes a hit, then you will be a famous writer..."

"But you also analyzed it. This is impossible... Whether it's publicity or support, the results."

"Oh, I mean, believe it or not..."

"I don't believe it... because I know that some of my writing is not good enough... I prefer to believe... that what I wrote can only be regarded as a grain of sand in the vast ocean. It may shine in the sand with the help of the sea water, but when it is in a pile of gold, it is still sand and will not shine at all."

"So, do you believe it?"

"I believe……"

"Why? Didn't you say the example you just gave was impossible?"

"Because, the Chang Yufeng I wrote about... is doing something like this... I hope he succeeds... It's not because I'm his author that I want him to succeed, but by the time I get to this point, his mental strength, his ability to reflect, and his soul have awakened from suffering. Even if I didn't write it... he would definitely succeed..."

Gong Xin sat down again and looked at the three words on the table.

Chang Yufeng.

"You're right... maybe, that's it. The character you wrote must be able to successfully change his fate... this is not predetermined, but he achieved it step by step... maybe others can rise to the top overnight and have great wealth and power without any explanation, but he can't. It's not just that he doesn't give up, but because he didn't really give up until the end."

Junichi Tachibana clapped his hands.

She patted her skirt casually to remove any dust, smiled, and walked out the door.

Only a man was left sitting in the room.

He grabbed the manuscript and looked at the name.

Still remained silent for a long time.

He picked up a pen and began to write.

[The mountains and seas are covered with mist and the moon is shining, the mirror-like jade river has thousands of sails and snow
It’s not that Loulan will never be destroyed, it’s just that the returning people shed tears! 】
