Chapter 223: Chapter 216 Deserted Mountain Night (Part 3)

"..." At that time, Lu Qiou was already trembling all over, unable to utter a single word.

Seeing this, the people around believed that Lu Qiou had been driven mad with anger, which was only natural. As a highly respected elder, to be criticized by a junior, and a newcomer at that! To almost be criticized into worthlessness! How could he not be furious!?

Many in attendance had received Lu Qiou’s guidance and help, and held deep respect for this kind elder in their hearts. How could they allow a brash newcomer to insult him like this!?

So, they quickly scolded Feister and drove him out.

But in fact, Lu Qiou was not angry at all; his heart was incredibly stirred!

Lu Qiou felt his brain exploding constantly! It was a wonderful sensation, with all sorts of brilliant ideas bursting forth! It was as if he was in an ocean of stories!

And all of this was brought to him by that genius!

After that, Lu Qiou experienced a surge of inspiration and wrote a new work in just half a month, and... it was what he considered his best work to date!

Surpassing it would likely be very difficult in the future!

After the work was published, it received high praise indeed, making Lu Qiou very grateful to Feister.

But then, Feister did something that Lu Qiou could not have anticipated.

He also published a new work, and... it was very similar to Lu Qiou’s work.

The same Stormy Snow Mountain Villa setting, the same number of clever tricks, but the level was entirely different.

The tricks used by Feister were narrative tricks far more sophisticated than Lu Qiou’s.

He created a non-existent character right from the beginning, that of the protagonist’s girlfriend.

Readers hardly realized that this girlfriend character, who not only spoke a great deal but also persistently helped the protagonist think of strategies and was smart and wise, did not exist.

The reason lay in a scene where the protagonist introduced his girlfriend to others, and no one reacted particularly, some even complimenting how beautiful his girlfriend was.

Such descriptions led anyone to believe that she was a real character in the story.

But in reality, to introduce someone, it is not necessary for the person to be there; a photo is enough.

Meaning, the protagonist used a non-existent person to deceive readers into thinking he had an alibi, thus shifting their attention to other characters.

The truth of the story was that the protagonist was the mastermind behind a series of murders.

The protagonist’s girlfriend had died in a car accident, and not one of the people in the car that hit her was willing to get out to check on her and call for help, instead choosing to flee, leaving the protagonist’s girlfriend to slowly die in a pool of blood.

They thought that hitting someone in such a remote place would go unnoticed, even forgetting the incident altogether.

Heartbroken, and even witnessing "Hallucinations" of his girlfriend, the protagonist decided on revenge.

Then, after confirming that those people had all forgotten their sins, he proceeded to kill them all.

In the end, the story concludes with the protagonist’s suicide.

Two similar works published within a very close timeframe, and people quickly discerned the quality of the two.

The work of Lu Qiou, which had originally received high praise, began to be belittled as worthless, and even his previous works were all dismissed as trash.

Feister, on the other hand, achieved great success. With just one work, he gained the recognition that Lu Qiou had not achieved even after all his years of effort.

For Lu Qiou, there was nothing more sad or frightening than having the work he toiled over and took great pride in creating, belittled.

But on that day, he discovered an existence that made him even sadder and more fearful.

That was the distant genius, who no matter how hard he tried, he could not even get close to touching. All his efforts up to that point were meaningless, his life was meaningless—all pointed out indifferently by the existence of that genius.
