Preamble

It has been more than two years since I wrote the article. I originally planned to write a story about the four bad guys from hell, but because I was new to online writing, I knew that I had little talent and little knowledge, and my writing was rough, so I chose the less popular supernatural genre first.

Use a short story to practice your writing skills and see the reaction.

"The Ghost Crying and Catching the Ghost" is this short story.

When I realized later, this experimental work had taken up more imagination and time than I expected. I wanted to end it several times, but new inspiration always appeared, driving me to continue it.

More attempts.

So the short story became a long story.

Supernatural, time travel, martial arts, online games, detectives, cities, supernatural powers, Western fantasy. I was a little unscrupulous and got carried away. Even if it is an experimental product, this book has fulfilled its mission to a super level, and it is time to die.

Or... at least take a vacation first.

The beginning is always easy, but the end is too difficult. Internet writing is not a simple one-way output process, but a very long-term and highly interactive thing. The author himself, the readers, and even the characters in the book

, all affecting the future plot and final outcome.

The ending is something that neither Fairy Zixia nor Zhizunbao could have guessed. As an ordinary person, I really can't do anything about it, so I want to ask Wang Xu.

The difference between novels and film and television works is that the author's imagination creates a character, but the imagination of each reader makes the character different. There are a hundred Wang Xu in a hundred people's hearts. I asked me

The one in my mind, what ending will he want... I think I got the answer.

At this point, I can say nothing. This book will not end in tragedy. Although tragedy will make people remember it deeply, this kind of profundity is not what I pursue. The foundation of the novel is just four words: escape from the world and relieve sorrow. I

I would rather you yawn and forget the plot after reading it, than remember years later that you have read a book with a tangled and sad ending, and then recommend it to others and say this classic after reading it... God, you

Let me go please.

Mr. Conan Doyle once wrote a preface for the last set of Sherlock Holmes stories, "New Detectives". Finally, I would like to quote one of the passages——

"Some thought it would be nice to have a strange underworld for fictional characters, a marvelous, impossible place where Fielding's playboys could still woo Richardson's beauties;

Scott's heroes can still show off their prowess; Dickens's jovial Cockneys can still make jokes; Thackeray's philistines can still run wild.

Perhaps in some remote corner of such a temple, Holmes and his Dr. Watson may temporarily find a place, and cede the stage they originally occupied to a shrewd detective and a more unscrupulous person.

partner."

Well, I also hope there is such a place... After the last volume is completed, let Wang Xu and Mao Ye go there to stay and do whatever they need to do.
