Some things just belong, and you know it will happen, but you're not sure what will happen at that point in time. Vertex 23S. Updated fastest resembles a negative attitude of being lived. Of course, negativity is only for humans, because human life is too short. Anything that is labeled as "being" in less than a hundred years is quite pitiful. You will only occupy such a short period of time in this world that will exist for a long time, and you will be robbed of the limelight by others. You will be passive. A Roman numeral mark that should have been yours was given to someone else...
Well, everyone, either you have already noticed what I want to express, or you just think that I am talking nonsense...
Madison came to Grande by the moonlight of the east.
Zach was waiting for Sam to come back on the back porch, watching Madison park the car close to the back porch, get out of the car, stuff the heavy briefcase into Zach's arms, and then look directly at Zach.
Zach weighed the briefcase in his arms. He knew it was Madison's manuscript without opening it, "What are you doing?"
"Everyone has seen it, and you should too," Madison said calmly.
Zach only opened the briefcase to give Madison due respect, but after only taking a look at the huge manuscript inside, he said, "Why are there so many? The manuscripts you gave to others are obviously not thick."
There was clearly a seat next to Zach, but Madison didn't sit down either. He just stood in front of Zach and looked at the reluctant Zach, "Everyone else has their own story line. Of course it's not thick, but you, Protagonist, you’re everywhere.”
Although Madison said it in a toneless tone, Zach could feel that it was not a compliment.
Zach pulled at the briefcase helplessly, and it took him a while to pull out the entire manuscript and put it on his lap.
Humans can't do it effectively in this kind of darkness, vampires can.
But Zach didn't want to read it, and he flipped through the bound manuscript casually. The entire manuscript seemed to be bound into many copies. Soon, Zach raised his eyebrows
He flipped through the bound manuscript casually, "Is this divided into volumes?"
"yes."
"Yeah. It's strange. Although you said that I am the protagonist, I am everywhere~" I emphasized again deliberately, "but it seems that except for the beginning of your story, the first volume, which is mine, the rest belongs to others. "Stories." Zach shook a few volumes at random, "Kepler was broken up by Jimmy Urie at Noel Beach, Dylan's girlfriend went to Boyson to buy Valmina, and Derek was broken up by Jimmy on the way to Barton. Sibella was 'picked up', Georgina was brought back to Barton by Robert, and a bunch of teenagers ruined the Yuri family's return party..." Zach turned to the last volume and raised his eyebrows a little higher, "Serys "Awkward morning..." Feeling that the timeline was approaching, Zach stayed a little longer, "Getting on the bus that exploded." He looked up at Madison, "Do you really want to write about me?"
"Does it make any difference to you if I start each volume with someone else?" Madison said indifferently, "Anyway, you will find a way to intervene." I don't know what Madison is expressing, he is probably just talking nonsense... Yes, I am deliberately repeating the words "You live forever, you will always find a way to intervene in the short lives of these poor people I start each volume with, and then, completely change, make other people's stories your own."
"It's not fair." Zach retorted aggrievedly. No one knows if he was sincere. The example was in his hands. "No was attacked by hunters looking for 'Colt' in his own home. Ike was about to die." Come to Barton to find me, Austin bumps into Bumi and takes revenge on Georgina..." Take it casually, each one is an example, "It's not that I want them to be like that, it's their affairs that come to me. What should I do? , ignore it?”
"Yeah, how could the protagonist ignore anything that happens to the supporting characters in his story?" Madison actually spoke in an unusually detached tone, "That's a bullshit story." His eyes drifted to nowhere, wandering around. At that moment, I happened to meet the two people who came out.
Charlie and Russell.
Madison's eyes flashed for a moment, but he quickly retracted it. He did something that left Zach speechless. He pulled out a manuscript from Zach's hands, hesitated for a moment before handing it out, and pressed it into Russell's arms, "You should Look, you want to know why Zach’s attitude towards me has always been weird, here’s the reason.”
Ah~ Russell is also the beginning of a certain volume of Madison's story~ isn't it? The volume where Sloane returns.
Russell was naturally a little confused. He didn't even know Madison.
But if you are curious about why Russell and Charlie just came out of Grande now. Is such that:
Charlie had actually left the basement in the afternoon, in order to show Russell that he could walk in the sun as a friend.
Now he was just accompanying Russell when he had dinner with Grande. Although it is already the night with the brightest moon, it is actually due to the season, and it is just dinner time.
Oh, by the way, the two friends have already said what they need to say. Those bloody betrayals and abandonments... no longer exist~
Although Zach was helpless by Madison's behavior, he also had questions, "Madison, how do you know certain things?" At the same time, he signaled Charlie and Russell where to go and not to be in a daze here.
Madison watched the pair of friends walk down the back corridor and returned to the employee area before looking back at Zach. He took off his hat with a simple movement and pointed his frizzy head towards Zach, "You saw it?" What?"
"I saw it. Your hair looks like hair. You shouldn't wear a hat. You should give your hair room to grow."
I hope everyone has not forgotten how Madison, who allowed her hair to grow again after going bald, thought about her hairstyle for a while. Because, the content mentioned below is related to that period of time.
Yes, it was the ability that Madison awakened during that period of time...
"I mean the color." Madison twitched the corner of her eye and put on the hat again to cover up the colorful hair on that end.
Zach was a little surprised, "What just happened? You changed the future?" According to the knowledge Zach has, Madison's hair will only change color when the future is changed, right~
"Not completely." Madison tilted her head, "Sometimes, I will experience some... um..." Think about your words, "things that are about to happen. Then, when I come back to my senses, I will find that what I just experienced has not happened yet." Happened." His eyes fell on Zach, "It took me some time, but I couldn't master the secret of, well, this ability, but sometimes, it's very convenient, and I can know things I don't know, because I I have already gone through it once, and after I regain my consciousness, I will write it down instead of going through it step by step again.”
Madison began to remind the manuscript in Zach's arms, "While you were hiding with Kozier and pretending to be dead, I wrote many things in this way." He shrugged, "If it weren't for your actions, I would It’s limited, but you still magically exert your influence in everything. I really feel like I’m not writing your story.”
Zach roughly understood, "So just now, you experienced your ability again, right." He reminded Madison not to deny it, "I saw your eyes changing."
"Yes." Madison did not deny it. "I just 'interviewed' Russell and Charlie. I know all the conversations they had in the basement, and how they resolved their knots and accepted their relationship as friends again. I..." I started to get sick inexplicably, "I can make up for this paragraph when I get back, and it should be in this volume..."
Zach: "No." It was an indescribable... disgusting feeling, "You can't write." With an absolute command tone, "If I don't feel wrong. What you just said to Russell, why did I treat him Your attitude is very strange. If you really have the ability you just said, you may have really grasped the reason why I don't like Russell." Looking at Madison, he asked Madison to respond to remove the 'if' in this sentence '.
Madison responded, "You are not wrong. Even though no one could contact you and listen to your thoughts during the time you were hiding in Kozier's place, but I know. You are jealous. What Charlie got is a thousand miles away." A friend who apologizes to a friend, and what you get is Eli who comes across the ocean to see his work.”
Zach frowned, showing an expression of resignation for the first time. Shaking his head, "Then I am prohibited from using Russell and Charlie's reconciliation to exaggerate my emotions in your book."
Madison couldn't hold it back and snorted, "You forbid me from showing my protagonist."
"Yeah." Zach said simply, "Because your protagonist can kiss your neck right now, not gently." Zach said straightforwardly, "So, you will make a distinction now. Now, at this moment, is Are you experiencing something that has not happened yet, or is it reality. Then choose whether you want to try me or not."
Everyone knows how 'I' ended up being the occasional guest star in Zach's snack jar. Well, 'I' tried, occasionally. Sometimes it's a fluke, sometimes, not so lucky.
At this time, Madison got cold feet and confessed her abilities to Zach for the first time, which is understandable.
Zach also waited for Madison's reply. Knowing that Madison did not dare, he waved his hand without much joy, "This is a very recent thing, what about before?" He flipped through the manuscript casually, "Many things are It’s not your place to know.”
"I have Leon." Madison answered honestly, "When he didn't expel it. Demons are the most numerous alien race in Barton, and they are truly everywhere. And I don't know if everyone has already I’m used to the fact that demons are in this city and no one cares about them anymore, so he can give me a lot of material.”
Zach nodded and added, "And you, as the character at the beginning of each volume, are mostly humans, and they don't know about demons." This means that it is easier to provide content for Madison.
Then, "Matthew goes to the mill every day to get work reports, so I can basically keep track of what you did during your time in Grande. You will always find someone..." A little sarcastic, "Find someone to share, In the past, it was mostly Benjamin, but after Mokawi appeared, it started to be Louise." Madison was a bit selfish and confirmed, "Well, now that Benjamin has left Grande, Matthew..."
Zach knew what Madison was going to ask, so he answered directly, "Matthew will stay in Grande, you can rest assured, your intelligence source is very solid." He mocked back.
What a harmonious relationship between the author and the protagonist~
Madison didn't have anything to mind. She watched Zach randomly flipping through the manuscript and being quiet for about half a minute. He asked inexplicably, "Why is Maitreya looking for me?"
Zach's disgusting feeling reappeared, and he stared at Madison, "What did you do again!"
Madison was very direct. She took off her hat again and showed her curved, colorful hair to Zach, "I told you I can't master that ability."
Uh, so at that moment, Madison obviously got some more 'material'.
Zach frowned and thought for a while, "I don't know what we said in the future that I haven't experienced, but since you asked such a specific question, you should have thought that I would ask back." Zach looked at Madison, "When Maitreya went to look for you, I couldn't find you. Where were you?"
"I'm at West's place." Madison also frowned, "He lives in Becky, which is beyond the scope of your simulated world."
"In the middle of the night?" Zach asked to confirm.
"Why, she is my friend. Is it weird for me to stay at a friend's house in the middle of the night?"
Zach doesn't want to continue this topic, because Ms. West, we know that this is something Zach doesn't want to touch, it's... forget it.
Zach shook his head and continued to talk to Madison, "Since you know that you are not in the world I know, then what do you expect me to give you an answer?" He was too lazy to continue talking to Madison.
Madison didn't react at all, "What happened to Maitreya in the simulated world you collected?"
"You are in a power that is beyond your control. Didn't you ask?"
Madison was very honest, "No, I came to my senses before I had time." Hey. I don’t want to talk anymore.
"I don't know." Zach shook his head, "I only know that he came to me and asked about your whereabouts. I didn't have time to pay attention to him, because his departure gave Eve an opportunity to force the Yuri family. .I have more important things to deal with, so.”
Needless to say, I just don’t know.
Madison stopped asking questions and continued to watch Zach flip through the manuscript.
Knowing that Zach was staring at Madison, "Do you have anything else? If not, leave. I don't want you to stay with me now."
Madison did not resist, and still said the same thing, "I said I can't control it." But he still left the back porch obediently and got into his car, "I don't know why I have this ability. If you If you know..."
Before he finished, he said, "I don't know." Zach didn't look at Madison, "I don't want to know either." It was just emotion.
Madison didn't continue to answer the conversation, got in the car, started it, and before driving away from Grande, he knew Zach could hear him, "Do you have any suggestions for your story?"
"No..." He immediately changed his mind, "Yes, why are your volumes not in order? I don't even know where to read it now." Tsk, who was flipping through it randomly? Madison handed the manuscript to him. time, but arrange the order well.
"You mark it yourself. Anyway, you know the order of everything very clearly." Madison drove away.
Zach, on his side, shook his head and took the pen from Louise who had been hiding and listening for a long time. "Quick mark~ I want to read it too~"
Zach was speechless for a moment and could only turn out the first volume he was most certain about. The only story he appeared as the opening chapter was marked with an i.
"Uh, why Roman numerals?"
"I don't know, it just feels like..."
Now that Zach has said so, please clear my name. In the beginning, I was not talking nonsense.
