Chapter 555: Inside the Book: Sickness Diary

Thinking back to when he first came in, Xia Shou felt that this time was different from the first time he was pulled into the book.

As soon as he came in this time, he felt a strange sense of disharmony.

This is the world before he traveled through time, there is no doubt about that.

Besides, my parents and younger brother are also here.

But it was precisely this that made Xia Shou feel that the original world was so unreal.

Because he had read "The Season of Falling Stars" before, Xia Shou knew Liu Yilong's life experience. Relying on the changes and development of the social times described in the book, he could accurately predict major future events in this world.

People outside the book can know future events in the world of the book by reading the book.

The characters in the book seem to have a future, but in fact their future is just a few pages away.

It’s a strange feeling to think that a life you haven’t lived before has actually already existed.

Moreover, as a person in the book, Xia Shou always has a very strange feeling about self-identity.

So much so that for many years a question has been haunting him: Is he a real human being?
And he could see Su Weiyu, could it be because of the characteristics of the people in this book? Because he is not a human to begin with, but an abnormal body?

In his spare time, he often spent hours thinking about why Sparrow's compass pointed to him, the difference between himself and those humanoid anomalies, and why the compass pointed to him instead of other anomalies that resembled humans.

If he were not a human, would Su Weiyu's attitude towards him change?

This kind of thing made Xia Shou feel uneasy.

Of course, this was not the only thing that made him feel uneasy.

The first place he entered in the book was a mental hospital, and he had no idea what he had experienced before, except that he had contracted a strange disease.

To be precise, in the eyes of those doctors, this is a strange disease, but in his eyes, it is not as simple as a mental illness.

Xia Shou saw the diary he had written during his illness before he traveled through time. It recorded some fragmentary dreams, including those about King Arthur, Alice, and the dream-catching bird.

These are all technical terms from the Bureau’s world!
According to the plot of this book, the self in this world travels to the world of the Control Bureau through dreams.

Moreover, when he first entered college, he had already experienced the Arthur period in the Bureau world through dreams.

...In the time of Arthur, which was the ancient British period thousands of years ago, there was no control bureau at that time.

After sorting out this information, Xia Shou slowly figured out some of the things that he had experienced in the book before he entered the book.

The self in the book, when he was in college, dreamed of traveling to the world of the Control Bureau thousands of years ago, where he met Alice and then got involved in a series of events related to Britain.

Finally, he woke up and returned to his original world, and wanted to kill a man named Van Cleef in the world of the book to save Alice and the others.

What this Van Cleef did and how it relates to this incident is completely unknown.

The character in the book experienced these things personally, but Xia Shou had no memory of them at all, and the point at which he lost his memory was the college entrance examination!
He asked his parents and younger brother in detail, and finally confirmed that his life before the college entrance examination was exactly the same as in the book, but he had no memory of what happened after the college entrance examination.

The college entrance examination... was exactly the time when he was summoned and traveled to the world of the Control Bureau.

Then, looking at the diary he wrote during his illness in the book, we can judge from the writing and tone that he knew at the time that he would soon forget all of this and lose the sense of reality of these things, so he seized the time and only wrote down the most important content.

This also results in most of the diary content only containing instructions but no explanations.

He wrote in his diary that he was asked to kill someone, but he did not write why.

Although the diary has been lost, Xia Shou still remembers the most eye-catching sentence in the diary, which was repeatedly crossed out and marked with a five-pointed star. That sentence is - [What you write down now is what really happened. ]

It must be said that this second time he traveled into the book, he obtained a lot of information, but very little of it could be connected to each other.

This greatly restricted Xia Shou's reasoning and thinking in the next ten years.

But combined with some of his experiences in the Bureau's world, he seemed to be able to piece together a rough outline of the truth.

The most crucial opportunity was when he slept with the minister in Vogt.

On that occasion, he entered Rob's dream. In the dream created by the Story Centipede, he met two future selves, his middle-aged self, and his old self.

At that time, Xia Shou still didn't understand why his most likely future would be that of two murderers.

But combined with the diary he kept during his illness, he now understood a little.

It is very likely that in the book, he will really kill someone in the future, and probably more than one person.

If he guessed correctly, the original him in the book would still have frequent dreams after college.

He would also go to the world of the Control Bureau in his dreams, and then after experiencing various things, he would return to the world of the book, and then kill people for some reason, eventually becoming a serial killer.
But...why do this?
"Brother Xia Shou?" Su Yue touched his arm gently.

"Ok?"

Xia Shou came back to his senses and looked at Gu Liang and the others in front of him.

"Ugh."

Xia Shou shook his head and sighed, feeling extremely overwhelmed.

Xia Shou was speechless when he thought about how he had explained it over and over again for so many years, but some of them still didn't believe him.

Especially Gu Liang and Shen Fei. When they were in the underworld, these two people seemed to be very accepting of abnormal phenomena. How come they became staunch scientists once they came into the book?

Fortunately, everyone is finally together. After so many years of hard work, we have finally reached the final step of the plan.

"No. 102, long time no see." Xia Shou said to Xiao Qi, then looked at Jiang Wengao, "I made you happy, and then I caught you at the end, and made you play games for fifteen years."

Jiang Wengao was sweating profusely. Although he didn't understand a word, he didn't dare to reply.

Xia Shou sat down on the sofa with his cane and breathed a sigh of relief: "Everyone is finally here! Gu Liang, last time you asked me why I could predict so many things but never interfered. Now I will tell you the answer.

Because we have to get out of the book and show up in the plot, if we interfere with the plot at will and disrupt the original content, I won't know which part the readers will see.

If no one is chasing me, then it doesn't matter if we change the plot. As long as we keep following Liu Yilong, we will definitely be noticed by readers. After all, Liu Yilong is the protagonist of the book.

But this time the situation is special, and showing up might cause accidents, so I decided to gather everyone together, and let everyone appear once in the part that will definitely be seen in Liu Yilong's plot! "

"Is this the excuse you just made up? Well... this patch is great!" Gu Liang touched his chin and praised repeatedly.

Then, Gu Liang said, "But what if you don't get out this time? Doesn't that prove that everything you said is wrong and it's an illusion?

If you are sure that all this is your hallucination, will you set us free?"

"What are you talking about, when did I say that we can get out like this?
After we show up, we will have to wait for several more years before we can go out, because only when the time reaches the end of the book, the story will be complete and people will see it in reality. "Xia Shou directly poured a basin of cold water.
