Chapter 228: Chapter 218 Flash_2

The key to interpretation lies in understanding, so, you must seriously feel and understand everything that is about to happen!

"...feel and understand, huh?"

Xiao Yi began to recall his encounters, exchanges, conversations, and the thoughts and deeds of three people—Clements, Nania, and Liliana.

Then, Xiao Yi found the Answer; he had understood the true meaning of Flash.

So, Xiao Yi immediately turned to Lu Qiou, pulled him up from the ground, and asked,

"Lu Qiou, you wrote this in ’Deserted Mountain Night’, didn’t you? You understand Feister’s works better than anyone, right? Then! You should know the true meaning of Flash!"

"That is..." Lu Qiou’s eyes shifted evasively, "I indeed thought so, but it was just my own presumption. And, this time I really do not understand... what Flash is."

"Well, let me tell you what Flash is," Xiao Yi said.

"...Eh?" Lu Qiou was stunned, "Really?"

"Of course." Xiao Yi took a deep breath and then revealed the answer, "For Feister, the Flash he encountered... was you."

"You say... what?" Lu Qiou’s eyes widened, incredulous before saying, "Feister’s Flash... was me? How is that possible!?"

"So, do you have another interpretation?"

"No! But that does not mean what you say is right!"

Sadness, guilt, and a sense of wrongdoing tangled together, distorting his expression as Lu Qiou almost roared,

"I am the murderer who killed Feister! Who would consider their own killer as their Flash! Are you still sane?"

"But... that’s just from your point of view, for Feister, it’s not like that at all."

"..." Lu Qiou fell silent.

After uncovering the true secrets of the ’Deserted Mountain Night’ and interpreting the real meaning of Flash.

Feister is hardly mentioned in ’Deserted Mountain Night’, but precisely because of this, ’Deserted Mountain Night’ is a precondition for interpreting the true meaning of the work ’Flash’, due to... the focus not being on Feister, but actually on the person Lu Qiou.

Xiao Yi explained,

"After carefully reflecting upon Clements, Nania, and Liliana in my memory, I finally realized, these three people, they are actually quite similar to you."

"Similar to me?" Lu Qiou also remembered this fact.

Initially, he just felt a strong resonance with these characters, but upon hearing Xiao Yi’s words, he then noticed that these characters indeed shared some similarities with him.

"Or perhaps..." Xiao Yi continued, "They are characters written with you in mind. If ’Deserted Mountain Night’ is the story of Lu Qiou’s life, then ’Flash’ could perhaps be seen as another version of ’Deserted Mountain Night’. The story of ’Flash’ is the story of Feister encountering Lu Qiou."

Xiao Yi felt, thankfully, he had remembered the clues given to him by Xu Yingguang, and he had finally understood the true significance of what they called Flash.

The remaining issue was whether Lu Qiou was willing to believe... no, whether he dared to face it.

"My... story with him?" Lu Qiou bowed his head deeply, no longer objecting.

"What Flash truly is... you should also be able to understand it, right?" Xiao Yi spoke, "But, you do not admit that fact, you do not see yourself as the Flash."

"...Perhaps, as you said," Lu Qiou smiled bitterly, and then remembered something clearly, "Actually... the story of ’Deserted Mountain Night’ is not the whole content. I hid part of it because it was my confession, not the complete truth, so I excluded part of it. And that part, perhaps, hides the true meaning of Flash."

Lu Qiou took a deep breath, then spoke to Xiao Yi:

"I’m really sorry for hiding this from you, I’ll tell you that part of the story now."

Actually, after Lu Qiou had brought Feister home and left, something else had happened.

"You rest here, I’ve contacted the doctor."

"No... Mr. Lu Qiou, please, I must finish that work."

"Put the pen down!"

Lu Qiou wanted to scold harshly, but he found that he couldn’t muster any firmness in front of Feister.

"..." However, Feister obediently lay down, his body deeply sinking into the bed.

Then, Feister looked at Lu Qiou and suddenly said, "Thank you."

"..." Lu Qiou paused, then hurriedly shook his head, "No! Don’t say that! I... I just did what I should."

"I’m not talking about that," Feister slightly shook his head, "I want to thank you, for always coming to buy my stories... Truly, thank you."

"...Is that so?"

It seemed his act of buying books had long been discovered. However, Lu Qiou hadn’t expected Feister to be thanking him for that; he ultimately failed to fully understand Feister’s thoughts.

Just then, Lu Qiou saw Feister trying to get up.

"I have rested for half a minute now," he said.

"What?! No!" Lu Qiou hurriedly pressed him back down.

"Please, Mr. Lu Qiou..." Feister tensed his body and grabbed onto Lu Qiou’s sleeve, pleading, "I must finish that work."

"... Shall I write it for you?"

Lu Qiou didn’t know what had prompted him to utter such arrogant, presumptive, and humiliating words; he must have lost his mind.

But to Lu Qiou’s surprise, Feister did not outright reject him... His dim eyes suddenly flickered with light.
