Odd Containment Specialist.

Chapter 630 Edward's Fantasy
Hearing this, Sarah was also prompted to think.

Indeed, this is very strange.

As time goes by, the outside world slowly moves closer to the world in a book, which gives people a very discordant feeling, as if becoming the same as the world in the book is an established fate.

However, scholars who study the supernatural all recognize one fact, that is, the future is not certain. From the perspective of mortals, there may indeed be a predetermined future, but from the perspective of God, this is not the case.

"Such a perfect and accurate prophecy. The world in the book is completely consistent with reality except that there is no influence of supernatural powers. Even a horse in the woods can't do it." Edward said.

The Forest Horse is the god in charge of development possibilities. He understands the infinite possibilities and laws of the development of things. All fortune tellers and prophets are under his watchful eye.

Although Edward said that even the forest horse couldn't do it, and it seemed like he was belittling the forest horse, Sarah knew that that was not what he meant, and that there were things that even the gods could not absolutely accomplish.

Just as the secret-keeping Crescent Moon cannot keep secrets completely because of the secret transmitters, the Forest Horse is also subject to the interference of other gods’ desires, which makes the future more likely than He can understand.

"So what do you think is going on?" asked Sarah.

Edward: "I will tell you the answer at the end. Now let me talk to you about Xia Shou. As I said just now, Xia Shou's name did not appear directly in the book, so I changed the direction of investigation and checked those who once held the book.

Many people have owned this book, but investigating their life stories is difficult.

Fortunately, I finally found some special cases that are worth paying attention to.

Several book collectors disappeared shortly after obtaining the book, and a few of them left behind reading notes.

They are obviously not ordinary collectors. Ordinary collectors would not study so deeply a book that is full of unknown nouns and is completely incomprehensible.

And in their reading reviews, many people mentioned a serial killer!

What is very strange is that the degree of attention these readers paid to the serial killer has gradually increased from ancient times to recent times. The earliest readers did not even mention any serial killer, while bibliophiles in the late Middle Ages had already mentioned the serial killer in their book reviews.

In modern times, readers of "Stellaris" have become more interested in this murderer, and the pages about the murderer occupy a larger proportion in the book reviews!
But in the two books I read, there was not a single word about serial killers, from beginning to end, and yet the previous owners of these two books did write about them.”

Sara: “What’s going on?”

Seeing that Sarah was gradually becoming interested, Edward continued, "And two of them even wrote down the number of murders committed by the murderer, one was twenty, and the other was thirty-one.

Where did the non-existent murderer in this book go? Why does the number of crimes committed by the murderer in the same book vary so much?
Considering the context of that review, I don’t think they are referring to the plot at two different time points in the book, but rather the maximum number of kills by the killer.

The maximum number of kills will change... If this is really a prophecy, what kind of prophecy do you think will keep changing? Is a prophecy that keeps changing still a prophecy?

In addition, there are two most special book collectors. They are not missing, but they are dead. They are both at least level 4 extraordinary people, but their abnormality did not spread when they died. "

Behind the black cloth covering Sarah's eyes, her blind eyes opened wide unconsciously, as if she had guessed what Edward was about to say.

"It's not surprising that someone entered the book and was killed, but what about people dying outside of the book?" Edward asked suggestively.

Sarah: "It could also be a coincidence." "Of course a coincidence is possible, but if we don't regard it as a coincidence, we can continue to reason. As long as we accept this hypothesis, this idea can explain all the doubts.

When exploring anomalies, many capable people will create clones to take their place in risky places to embark on adventures. If the clone is injured or destroyed, it will not affect the original body.

I think that's what the two of them did, but they underestimated the power of the killer, a character who lives in a world without supernatural powers but has powers that can work in the supernatural world outside the book!"

Sarah couldn't help but interrupt Edward's wild thoughts: "That's not right, if an avatar is created to enter the book, even if the avatar is killed, how can it affect the creator himself?

There is no supernatural power in the world of books! I know that!"

“But this can explain why the serial killer received less attention in earlier times, because in the beginning, the serial killer in the book didn’t kill anyone at all. He only killed people who didn’t belong to the world in the book.

As time went by, the set of books continued to circulate among different people, more and more people entered the books and were killed by the murderer, so the content of the books gradually changed.

From no murder at the beginning, to an ordinary murder that is not worth mentioning in the main plot, to a small-scale serial murder that is well-known, and finally to a shocking case.

The murderer's murder was thorough.

Perhaps that world is not without supernatural elements, but there is only one person with supernatural powers in that world, and that person's supernatural powers will only have an impact on the outside world."

Sarah remained silent. She felt that this conclusion was too far-fetched. However, if she denied Edward's conjecture now, it would mean that the two book collectors who died outside the books were two idiots who couldn't even do a safe investigation.

But if we accept Edward's guess, the killer's ability is incredibly powerful and unbelievable.

It's like, as a writer, you write a character based on yourself, but this character is not you, it's just your thoughts.

In the story, he, like other characters, encounters various plots, and you make decisions based on your own ideas, let him take actions, and influence the development of the story.

Then... this prototype character is killed by another story character in a certain chapter, and your adventure in the book ends.

Normally, this is the end of the story. You outside the book are still writing this story, but the character based on you has come to an end and will not appear in the future.

The writer will not be affected in any way because there is a narrative layer between them. The writer is completely superior to the characters in the book. He is not equal to the characters in the book. He can see the whole story from a God's perspective, and see the characters' past, present and future.

The life of the characters is based on the story itself, their world is the story, and the life of the writer is based on the world outside the book.

It should be like this...

But if Edward's conjecture is applied, then the writer died the moment his prototype character was killed.

Sarah felt that she might have misunderstood Edward's meaning. If it was the idea just now, it meant that if the named person fabricated a human body and came to the world, he would be killed by the murderer.

Then, the original body of the named person in the Root Sea God Kingdom will also die directly?
