Chapter 225: Chapter 217 Deserted Mountain Night (Part 2)

Feister was of very ordinary birth, and since he didn’t know how to ingratiate others, naturally nobody was willing to help him.

After that incident, he not only became destitute but was also spurned by the entire society.

Lu Qiou felt regret, without a doubt, deep regret.

He really hadn’t expected that not even the greatness of a genius could move those people. No... it was he who was too selfish, selfishly assuming that others would be as captivated by that greatness as he was.

In the end, it seemed that only Lu Qiou could understand that greatness.

And after that, Feister simply stopped creating. It was inevitable, as he had no better way out.

Yet, Lu Qiou also realized that Feister had given up because he found that his stories couldn’t touch people’s hearts, couldn’t change anything, and so he became disillusioned.

He gave up on creating completely.

It was Lu Qiou who, as an average person, had successfully snuffed out the creative path of a genius.

At this point, the situation was beyond his ability to change.

He had undoubtedly committed a great sin, so what was he to do?

For some reason, Lu Qiou subconsciously looked toward... the fruit knife in his house.

He felt a murderous intent in his heart, a revulsion toward his despicable self.

But just then, to Lu Qiou’s complete surprise, Feister actually reached out to him!

Feister contacted him for a simple reason... Feister needed money.

Nobody was willing to help him; he could only humbly beg everyone he knew or didn’t know.

Lu Qiou realized there was still something he could do, and he agreed without any hesitation. However, still wanting to protect himself, he didn’t transfer the money directly, telling Feister to quietly come to his house and take the cash, so there would be no record of it.

Then, Lu Qiou saw Feister again.

It hadn’t been long, but Feister seemed to have become a different person, no longer the free-spirited, effortlessly brilliant genius, but exuding a... an ordinary feeling all over.

Seeing Lu Qiou, Feister actually showed a respectful demeanor.

"Hello! Mr. Lu Qiou! About the money you mentioned..."

Yet this demeanor of his made Lu Qiou furious.

A genius... was displaying such a lowly expression, just like an ordinary person!

"Get lost!" Lu Qiou roared. "Get out! Get the hell out of here!"

At that moment, Lu Qiou saw confusion... as well as sadness and helplessness in Feister’s eyes.

But quickly, Feister’s eyes cleared up, as if he had understood something.

"Don’t... become a character in the story," Feister didn’t ask anything, just left these words behind and left dejectedly.

"Acting like you understand everything!" Lu Qiou growled, but his anger had already vanished from his heart, replaced only by regret.

At the same time, he felt disgust with himself once again.

His every tragedy was of his own making; what right did he have to be angry?

Lu Qiou began to vomit uncontrollably, overcome with revulsion at his own existence!

Then, when Lu Qiou instinctively attempted to slit his own throat with the knife, he was stopped by a servant in the house.

Having calmed down, Lu Qiou realized he couldn’t die yet; he still had to take responsibility for his actions, he still had to seek redemption with Feister.

But Lu Qiou also had no face to see Feister again, nor did he dare to.

He could only secretly assist Feister, commissioning others to lend money in his name, privately paying off all the medical bills for Feister’s family at the hospital.

But all these measures were refused by Feister. Not because he realized they were from Lu Qiou and refused them, but because he turned down all help from others.

Meanwhile, Lu Qiou heard that Feister planned to continue publishing books, seemingly intending to use his genius skills to turn the tide.

The genius seemed to have reclaimed his own arrogance.

This filled Lu Qiou with excitement; he was eager to see Feister’s new work! So, he contacted a publishing house that was initially reluctant to accept Feister, and after much persuasion, they finally agreed to publish his work.

But the sales of the book were far from ideal, for a simple reason, because it was a work by Feister.

And there was another reason: Feister’s works already had a limited audience.

Normally, such nauseating characters in stories are meant to be killed off, allowing readers to vent the frustrations of life. But Feister often made such characters the protagonists, which only disgusted people.

And in those stories of Feister, the endings always involved the protagonist killing the person they loved the most, respected the most, cared about the most. And the reason wasn’t anything but the protagonist’s deep-seated nature.

It was the nature everyone wished to hide that subconsciously drove them to commit murder.

Finally, the protagonists would end in suicide or endless agony, leaving the readers unable to let go.

Naturally, not many people were willing to pay for such works.

But Lu Qiou liked them, because he understood the deep meaning; that was... the truth from which everyone always fled.

People are accustomed to judging a phenomenon according to the outcome they desire, interpreting the same phenomenon differently, that is, by clearly judging good and evil in black and white without further discussion, merely cutting through everything with a one-size-fits-all approach for the sake of convenience.

People naturally use their own reasoning to explain every phenomenon, hence, they subconsciously do not allow phenomena that go beyond their understanding to occur.
