Before I knew it, the book had exceeded one million words.

This number sounds a bit bluffing. In fact, it pales in comparison to many online masterpieces. Similarly, the author also feels that I have not been able to express my original intention and story structure clearly. I always feel that there is still a lot to say, and

I feel like I said a bit too much.

Starting from the second volume, the story has basically entered the formal stage.

Of course, the second volume is just a prelude to the entire book. It explains to readers a doomsday, a shocking conspiracy, and a struggle that gives rise to freedom or death!

Overall, I think I have successfully completed the second volume, but the level of completion can only be considered a passable level. In many places, the plot is delayed and the text is redundant, which needs to be improved.

And there are a lot of omissions from the overall story.

For example, Lin Yan's main story line has almost disappeared since the beginning of Cerberus's play. Lin Sen's hard search could only find a few words about Lin Yan.

I would like to explain this point.

In fact, the author's narrative method at the beginning was not conducted intermittently with Lin Sen as the bystander, but directly from Lin Yan's perspective.

However, the author soon discovered that in order to complete this part of the story, Lin Yan would only be a shackle, not a help. It is difficult for readers to understand the structure of the entire story through one person's experience. It is also difficult to understand why Han Kongwen,

The relationship between Vaisala Amy and Qin Qing is even more difficult to understand whether they are partners or enemies who use each other.

In fact, readers who have read the content of the second volume of the author should all know that Han Kongwen and others have been using "people's hearts" to keep secrets from the beginning in order to avoid being discovered by the Golden Birdcage, so in

In this grand performance, communication between each participant can only be carried out through guesswork, so misunderstandings are born.

For example, Vaisala Amy, as one of the relatively early batch of mechanical life forms that replaced human bodies, in her eyes, many of Han Kongwen's actions were incomprehensible, so she boldly used the Lusteven family to take Nan

Ying Jian and others introduced Cerberus and asked them to help Amy observe Han Kongwen and monitor Han Kongwen.

In fact, Han Kongwen, who has abandoned human nature, is the one who does not need to be suspected. Everything she does is based on human freedom and survival as the highest belief. Even in order to avoid the entire plan being hampered by the weakness of human nature, she

She helped the Golden Birdcage conduct experiments on human bodies, and arranged assassinations one after another in accordance with the requirements of the Golden Birdcage.

But at the same time, Han Kongwen's intelligence made her deeply aware of the dangers of being alone and weak, so she chose Lin Yan, but she could not directly tell Lin Yan what she was doing, what she had encountered in the world, and what had happened.

.

However, she can turn Lin Yan into a third person, make her aware of this line, and then become each other's support in the establishment of mutual trust.

Through this analysis, some readers who are still a little confused should be able to successfully understand the content of the second volume, right?

After understanding, the author will deepen the second volume here and add some deleted content.

In the second volume, we first touch on Turaya from Lin Sen’s perspective.

Turaya's initial appearance was that of a "city-state of the dusk sun". In fact, the city-state of the dusk sun had sunk into the depths of the underground lake many years ago [ps: Careful readers should have noticed the foreshadowing left by the author early on.]

The Twilight City-State that Lin Sen came into contact with is actually a perfectly replicated experimental base. The Twilight City-State is the main experimental site, and the underground of the Twilight City-State is the incubation center of Turaya.

Humans here use Turaya's technology to continuously produce new, more stable puppets to replace unstable factors in the world, and at the same time provide immortal organ replacements for Rhea's disciples.

Among these disciples was the patriarch of the Rusteven family, Ronk.

Smart readers should have immediately thought that Mr. Myers, the doctor of the Rusteven family, is also from Han Kongwen's school. This has been clearly demonstrated through his remarks, but his existence value makes him seem

He is a bad person. In fact, Myers is not only not a disciple, but on the contrary, he is a noble liberal.

After the plot of Twilight City was finally completely revealed through a series of interpretations, the plot took a huge turn, and many people may feel confused at this time.

Especially the description of the fifth dimension.

Does Lin Sen have a puppet?

the answer is!

No!

Ami and Lin Sen are actually the same person, but Ami is Lin Sen who is a prisoner trapped in a time and space cycle. Before he pursued Han Wensheng to the fifth dimension, he was never aware of Ami's problem.

So? If Turaya is not a space-time cycle, does that space-time cycle exist?

In the author's intention, it exists.

The fifth dimension is the best proof. By referring to the understanding of dimensions in real science, in the fifth dimension, time and space can be folded, which means that there is time and space travel in the fifth dimension.

Different from the strong mutuality of the third dimension (which can be roughly understood as the general stability of a triangle), the fifth dimension gives matter more forms and greater possibilities.

So the author boldly added his own conjectures to the article, and then artistically transformed this scientific understanding. As for whether people will like it, the author can only have expectations.

Through Turaya, Lin Sen learned a corner of the truth about the world, and it was this corner that gave Lin Sen the curiosity and courage to uncover the truth about the entire world.

Especially when Lin Sen thought that his misfortune was over but suddenly discovered that the "home" he had dreamed of could never go back, he gradually realized that his persistence was not just based on his love for his family.

expectations, and the pride of being a human being.

So Lin Sen decided to return to Cerberus and personally unravel the mystery of all this.

turn out……

As he got to know more deeply, Lin Sen suddenly discovered that the truth sounded much harder than it was to accept...

It turns out that the entire world is a "dark-sun city-state" under the management of Turaya, and human civilization is declining like the dim sun.

The glorious victory that was once recorded in history turned out to be just a self-deception. Zansbol's greatest contribution was to use a big lie to retain the last dignity and hope for mankind. Now, this hope has blossomed and it is time to do it.

It's time to make the final decision.

Here, the author has deleted six groups of content that originally existed in the outline and concept.

Group One: The highlight of Yuer’s sacrifice.

Originally, in the author's mind, Yu'er's sacrifice for mankind was an extremely important drama. I set up a stage for her and constructed all the elements. However, after much deliberation, I finally rejected this part because Yu'er

It is difficult to express the sacrifice of a son.

If the people who stopped her were ignorant humans who sent all mechanical creatures to the judgment stand, then her sacrifice would be too idealistic and heroic.

And if she had completed her sacrifice by breaking through the army of mechanical creatures, then this scene would be superfluous.

So in the end I have briefly touched on this part and left it to the readers to imagine.

Group 2: The ending of Myers and others

In the beginning, Myers was supposed to be the one who opened the play. He and Rusty Steven Lang both had very important roles, including a lot of dialogue. But later, the author thought that although Myers was present from the beginning, the dialogue between the two was still too boring.

shriveled.

At this time, the author was reviewing old stories and learning new things, so I re-read masterpieces such as Twelve Citizens, This Man Came From Earth, etc., so I came up with the content of the second act of the trial, which was imitated... very average... It stands to reason that this trial should be

It lasted a long time, and the conversation between several people also lasted a long time. However, the final completion rate was only 40%, which was far lower than the author's self-expected level. This not only needs to be improved, but also requires a lot of accumulation and learning.

Group 3: Shots of Lin Yan and Canaan fighting side by side

Readers who have read through the second act know that in the official version, the content about Canaan and Lin Yan is basically brushed off in the second half of the volume, and even if there is a description, it is rarely very brief.

In fact, this is mainly to avoid intensifying unnecessary misunderstandings. Because according to the author's original idea, Lin Yan will also be sent to the trial stand, and Canaan even went on a killing spree to save her. But such a plot development deviates from the author's original intention.

So the author decided to be gentler and leave these exciting contents to the third volume instead of here, because the human beings in the second volume are weak, and the disasters they suffered are terrible enough, so there is no need to aggravate the plot.

Follow some fixed routines.

Hence the plot in the main text, where Lin Yan fights for humanity until only her head is left, and Canaan watches her stubborn departure.

Group 4: Lin Xue saves mankind

It stands to reason that among the three members of the Lin family, Lin Xue has appeared as an important character in some passages, so she should also be set up as a girl with a story.

In fact, the author did design a complete story axis for Lin Xueye, but the content mainly revolved around her special body, some of the treatment she suffered, her views on the world, and the things she did after going crazy.

The author even thought about whether to make her and Lin Sen enemies.

Such a sadistic plot is very interesting. Betrayal of relatives, falling in love and killing each other are the most familiar and most attention-grabbing old routines.

But I didn’t like it, so I rejected it.

But such willfulness is not just willfulness. In the third volume, Lin Xue will show everyone a completely different side. Her story will not only unfold, but will also become an important part.

Group 5: Qi Xuan awakens

E-sports player Qi Xuan is all-powerful in the game, but his useless attributes are soon revealed. But you would never expect that in the initial setting, Qi Xuan is not only not useless, but also wants to awaken and subvert the entire digital world.

, is a very important villain.

But again, this development deviates from the author's original story structure. As the child left in this world by Yang Yurong and Han Wensheng, his story will not end here, because he has a reason for his existence.

As for what the reason is? Hehe~ I’ll ask you to find it in the third volume.

Group Six: The Prophet Split

It is mentioned in the text of the second volume that the prophet, the apparent ruler of the numerical world, is actually composed of two subjects, one named Victory and the other named Viori.

Victory is responsible for creation and Violet is responsible for destruction.

Creation and destruction are both integral parts of the world.

Regarding this point, the author has especially deepened a paragraph, which is the world after losing Viori. After losing and destroying it, the number sequence world expands infinitely, and the world becomes bigger and bigger, and it becomes more and more empty.

Therefore, the author once planned to describe the story of the prophet's split due to Qi Xuan's interference in a long paragraph. However, after thinking about it, this content has little significance for the advancement of the entire story, because Qi Xuan, as the key, already has value, and this

The most important value is not to split the prophet in two, but to lead Lin Sen to discover the truth of the matter.

Leading out Yang Yurong and then bringing out the answer to the entire secret is the main content, so this paragraph was also deleted.
To be continued...
