At that moment, Lan Mu went all out.
The author's control over the interface really left Lan Mu with no way to deal with it? Not necessarily.
From the fact that he could refuse to do that ending and still throw a tantrum here, it meant that the author's design also had to conform to a certain logic and character's personality.
Otherwise, Lan Mu would have gone to mend the pen after the sheep were lost and made up for the promise.
However, he didn't. Lan Mu realized that the author understood Lan Mu as well as he did.
Although making up for the promise was one of Lan Mu's wishes, this ending wasn't Lan Mu's final destination. This couldn't be the final explanation for Lan Mu's life.
Therefore, it seemed that the author controlled everything about Lan Mu, but he also had to take into account certain rules and restrictions.
Although the author theoretically had the right to make Lan Mu eat sh * t now, could he really do so?
Just like how 001 always had the ability to erase Lan Mu, but it still allowed the original sin to reach this point.
To put it bluntly, it wasn't only the author who decided the fate, but also some people who controlled this influence.
"The existence of the pyramid has clearly revealed that the author's world should be like Earth … Therefore, the author is a human."
"As a human, there are restrictions. He's just my 'god.'"
At that moment, Lan Mu thought of the only way to restrain the author, and that was to make use of the readers.
His every move was observed by the creatures of the higher realm. Then, his words could also be seen by the creatures of the higher realm.
If there was really someone who was willing to help him and have a great influence on the author, then the possibility of him escaping would be much higher.
It was better than the author simply thinking that he could escape, but rationally thinking that he couldn't.
The more people involved in this matter, the higher the possibility of Lan Mu going beyond the realm.
Perhaps, all of this was the author's idea, which was why he could do it.
But at least on the surface, Lan Mu felt that this was his choice.
"Since the author also has to follow a certain logic and a certain limit, then my thoughts are actually my thoughts. If I want to kill the author now, what can he do? Suddenly make my killing intent fade? Or do you want to make me stupid? "
Lan Mu realized that the author was also hesitating. The author was still respecting his own setting.
This gave Lan Mu a chance!
Regardless of whether what he said was his own choice or the author's idea, since he said it, it meant that the decision-making power was completely out of the author's control and handed over to the reader.
To put it bluntly, Lan Mu's character and the author's subjective thoughts were mutually restricting each other. No one was able to gain complete control of the story.
The initiative was given to the readers.
Lan Mu couldn't predict what would happen next. There was only so much he could do.
The influence had already spread. He was not sure if it could affect the author.
He didn't know what was going on in the Higher Realm.
"Maybe some readers will help me kill him. That would be worth it."
Lan Mu's thoughts were complicated as he silently waited for the news.
As expected, 001 quickly said, "Just now, I found out something else."
Lan Mu sneered. "Why don't you just say that you're the author?"
"No, I can be the author, but the author is definitely not me," 001 said.
Lan Mu understood. This was actually similar to the relationship between the Executor and 001. 001 was the author's handling of the details in the interface. At this moment, he was also acting as a mouthpiece.
"What did you find out?" Lan Mu asked.
001 said, "Because of your actions, the readers have already decided your fate."
Lan Mu's eyes lit up. "What is it?"
"You can't say," 001 said.
Lan Mu frowned. This was not giving him any information at all.
With Lan Mu's intelligence, the author had told him the truth and the ending in order to show his existence and make him feel the cruelty.
This caused Lan Mu's character and will to not allow him to accept his fate. This led to the current situation.
Because the author respected the setting and had restrictions, the more Lan Mu knew, the more Lan Mu's fate would move in a direction that could not be left alone.
Originally, the author had not told him this from the beginning. The ending would have been very clear: change Odonis's fate, make up for the promise … The book would have ended.
But now, the author could not act arbitrarily.
The readers were the author's constitution!
"Can't say? He's afraid that there will be no end to this, right? "Lan Mu gritted his teeth.
"Alright! With my intelligence, will, and character, I won't do nothing … If you don't want to be killed by the readers, then you have to stand on my side and do your best to think of a way to get me out!
"To you, all of this is just a fantasy, a novel … But to me, it's real …
"At this moment, you just need to respect my setting. With my will, I believe that I can overcome any hopeless situation! Don't use your dogshit subjectivity to influence me!
"Why don't I help you think about what it means if the characters in the novel are real!"
Lan Mu did not have any information now, but how difficult was this? He had experienced more desperate difficulties than this. Lan Mu would never give up.
He forced himself to fight for it with all his strength in an absolutely disadvantageous situation!
"Listen, I don't know what kind of world you're in, but I can tell you very clearly that I'm here! It's completely real! I'm a living existence.
"Maybe you don't think that the characters in your fantasy are real, but I know!
"Therefore, from my point of view, your interface isn't that simple either. You might have accidentally touched upon a natural law."
"Maybe your thoughts are not enough for me to enter your world … Or maybe the readers' thoughts are not enough for me to enter your world. But if the natural law of your world allows it … Why can't I go out? "
Lan Mu straightened his body, and his expression was full of confidence!
What he meant was very simple. The world the author was in might be beyond the author's expectations. There were also rules that stupid earthlings could not understand.
"You're also on Earth, right? Otherwise, you wouldn't have designed something like the Pyramid of Doom.
"Then do you know the vastness of the universe? Have you seen the smallest particle of space-time? Have you flown out of the solar system? Have you entered a black hole? Have you crossed dimensions? Have you experienced the emptiness of an infinite quantum body? Do you know how beautiful the blue quantum sparks are when everything is decomposed?
"I can be 100% sure that you haven't … Stupid author, I'm not afraid of angering you … I just want you to understand that even if you control everything here! You can't control yourself!
"Maybe you can ask 001 to tell me mockingly that what I said just now was just what you thought."
"But you can't deny one thing! You don't have my current achievements. Otherwise, this wouldn't be a novel, but your autobiography!
"I'm already standing at the peak of my world, but you know nothing about your world!"
Lan Mu's thoughts were extremely clear. He had already broken away from the state of collapse because he knew the truth.
So what if you're the author? You're still not an enemy? Lan Mu analyzed the author clearly, just like how he analyzed his enemies in the past.
He, Lan Mu, had never compromised. He always believed that everything was possible.
"Do you want to see me very much? Because when you see me, it means that you've grasped one of the countless unknown laws of your world.
"This is exploration. This is the curse of life. Even if you're a life form from a higher world, I believe that you're also filled with curiosity about the unknown. When humans raise their heads and look at the stars absent-mindedly, the future is destined. Humans will inevitably do anything for the infinite unknown!
"I'm like this, so you must be like this too. Whatever you want me to say, I have to say it. But in other words … doesn't that mean that what I think proves what you think?
"Your world, what secrets do you have … Today, it's time to reveal them."
Lan Mu's words forcibly tied the author to his side. Even if Lan Mu wanted to kill the author, the author had to help him. Although he didn't know the attitude of the reader, he had no choice. He had to fight for all the power that could help him.
"Me, the author, the reader … If we unite, we can tear apart the boundary between fantasy and reality. Why not?
"After all, I'm the one being used as a chess piece!"
Lan Mu roared out the last sentence.
The moment he roared out, a pure black dot suddenly jumped out from the infinite whiteness in front of him!
That dot had an incomparable and indescribable terror. It made Lan Mu feel an indescribable sense of fear and horror from the bottom of his heart.
"Zero?"
