"When I grew up, a plague broke out in my area, and I got sick and died."
"Becoming a devil."
"Transformed into undead creatures."
"Skinned."
"Roasted by the dragon."
"Been eaten by ogres."
???
Andy was dumbfounded. He asked nearly ten people, but few of them even grew up, let alone took risks. Basically, the protagonist didn't even get the news about the treasure, so he was gone.
Forced to have no choice, he had to add a premise: the protagonist grew up healthy, learned the news that the princess was kidnapped, and went to find a treasure that could defeat the dragon.
"He stepped in a trap and died."
"It's the big spider's territory and it's been eaten."
"Died by a stabbing from a companion."
"Killed by soldiers sent by the evil dragon."
"In the sea, eaten by sea beasts."
The person next to him added: "Maybe he was dragged into the sea by the fish-men and drowned."
…
After asking several questions in a row, Andy finally heard an answer that brought tears to his eyes: "He got the treasure." But before Andy could get excited, he heard a passerby add: "The volcano under the treasure erupted, he
Burned to death."
You must be poisonous.
Andy, who does not believe in evil, added a premise: the protagonist successfully obtained the treasure that can defeat the evil dragon.
"Then I tripped over a tree root and fell off a cliff."
"I was so angry when I saw the dragon and the princess doing that."
Yes, the tauren will die.
Andy continued to refine the premise, and along the way he felt that he had asked hundreds of people, but he did not hear a single answer he wanted.
After finally returning to the wolf's house, Andy's eyes suddenly lit up. He sat on the lawn with the little wolf and looked at who was here if it wasn't Scarlett.
When he saw Scarlett, the little girl also saw him and ran over like a gust of wind, "Brother, where have you been and you didn't take me with you? I miss you so much."
"I miss you too." Andy smiled and picked her up.
As she hugged his neck tightly, Andy realized that maybe Scarlett hadn't lied to him, and she really missed him.
But they had only been apart for one day, and they were still meditating together in the morning.
Andy's face remained calm and his hand gently patted the girl's back.
Could it be that she felt more and more uneasy?
It wasn't until he felt that the girl's mood gradually stabilized that Andy let her sit on his arm, half-hugging her and said, "Brother, I want to ask you a question. You have to answer me well."
"Uh-huh."
"There was a princess in a small country who was kidnapped by an evil dragon. The king promised that whoever rescued the princess would marry the princess and become the king. A poor boy heard about this and went to look for an artifact that could defeat the evil dragon. After
After a lot of hardships, I finally got the artifact, defeated the dragon, and met the princess. Now I want you to tell this story, how would you tell it."
Scarlett put her hand on her lips and thought for a moment, "This is all the conspiracy of the evil princess."
Andy's head was filled with black threads, "It's not a conspiracy, the princess is not a bad person."
"All this is actually behind the scenes..."
"There is no one behind this."
"The princess is possessed by the dragon's soul..."
"The dragon is dead. There is nothing wrong with the princess."
"The princess was taken away by a new evil dragon."
Andy took a breath, "There are no new dragons, demons, or evil spirits. The poor boy has successfully rescued the princess. He wants to take the princess back to his country."
"The king doesn't keep his word."
"No, the king is a good man who keeps his word."
"The nobles of the country were dissatisfied with the king's arrangements and launched a rebellion."
"No, they are loyal to the king."
"The king died suddenly, and his promise became void."
"He's not dead, he's alive and well."
"The poor boy died suddenly."
Andy looked up to the sky in despair. He even suspected that Noah was a god who used extremely powerful spiritual power to influence everyone he asked.
Otherwise, why no one mentioned the ending of the simplest poor boy becoming a king and living a happy life with the princess.
Did everyone think he was playing a brain teaser with them about how much 11 equals?
He looked at the girl who was still thinking hard in his arms, sighed and asked: "Little Carrie, why didn't the poor boy become the king and live happily with the princess from then on?"
Scarlett thought for a while, "But the poor boy was contaminated by the invisible dragon's breath. Not long after he became king, he became a tyrant, and finally died in a joint crusade by the nobles."
Andy rolled his eyes, why can you all think of the reversal, reversal, and reversal ending, but why can't you say the simplest ending?
"Little Carrie answered very well. You won't be allowed to answer next time. Just listen to what I tell you."
The little girl who had just pouted laughed when she heard this.
"Aya, what on earth is going on?"
In the end, Andy surrendered and looked at the girl who suggested asking someone else.
But what he didn't expect was that the confusion in Noah's eyes was no less than his.
She thought for a while and then said: "Actually, I am also guessing. When I listened to your story, I had a very strange feeling, as if a gap in my heart was blocked."
If Andy was still confused before, now he is uneasy. Noah will not say anything to express his love next.
So this is just a romantic joke on her part?
Apparently he was overthinking it.
Noah continued: "I found that not only me, but everyone in the pub at that time had similar mental field fluctuations."
"This reminds me of a book I read before, which was probably written by a scholar from the Eternal Night Era ten thousand years ago. After translating the text, I think it should be: 'The blood moon is broken, the world is broken, we
It is also broken. We have lost a part of ourselves forever. From then on, imperfection is absolute and perfection is relative.'"
"Then I remembered another book, which said: 'The world is like a lost boat, and the boat is full of wrecked people.'"
"In addition, in the spiritual plane, the main city in this world is called the 'Old Boat', and the three aspects confirm it. I think I may have translated it correctly. Our world is really incomplete, and we have lost the ability to imagine the true perfection.
ability.
That’s why I guess that other people may not be able to imagine a ‘fulfilling’ story like you do.”
Andy felt that he could understand every word Noah said, and he could understand the words combined, but he just couldn't imagine everything she said.
Can’t imagine what ‘perfection’ feels like?
And there was a question that worried him even more.
Noah's inference and further reasoning can easily lead to a conclusion: he is not from this world.
When he was worried.
Noah said in a tone of reverence that she had never heard before: "They will be fascinated by it because your story has a magical power that can temporarily make up for the lack of self and temporarily gain the ability to imagine the Great Perfection. They are inspired by this moment.
...I am happy and grateful to you. Is this the power of your sublimated Dharma?"
Seeing her thinking this way, Andy secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but he did a good job of not letting his mind fluctuate in any way.
Scarlett pouted and said, "Brother, did you go to the pub to tell stories today?"
"I wanted to tell a story to Little Carrie. I was afraid that it wouldn't sound good, so I went to the pub to practice. Now I tell it beautifully. Little Carrie, do you want to listen?"
Andy inadvertently saw Noah's ears slightly raised, as if she was also looking forward to it.
He couldn't help but laugh out loud.
It doesn't matter whether it was time travel, sublimation, or the combined effect of the two that allowed him to obtain this ability to make people temporarily perfect.
Andy is happy to convey this satisfaction.
For this reason, I hope things go well the day after tomorrow.
