When the "author" enters the bizarre event, he becomes the "non-author" and detaches from the control of the gods.
The timeline in the bizarre event is different from the real world. While several hours may pass there, only a moment may have passed in the real world.
Rengatsu did not act blindly confident. She gathered enough information through customer service consultation to have some assurance before deciding to take the risk.
Every bizarre event has a solution. As long as there is a solution, it is not a dead end. In the bizarre event, she might be able to find people or things to oppose the association.
In her first bizarre event, she encountered a special guest for a lifetime - Xu Fang #1-1 - Xu Fang's duplicate.
The theme of the bizarre event is time and space.
Time and space fluctuations rampage throughout this space, and even a slight touch can be fatal.
She needs to cooperate with Xu Fang #1-1 to unlock the seals on time and space.
That duplicate has rich experience in bizarre events and remains calm through all the challenges without any mistakes.
This opens Rengatsu's eyes and gives her a certain understanding of the principles of bizarre events.
Thanks to it, Rengatsu learns many secrets of bizarre events. As a "reward," Rengatsu tells Xu Fang #1-1 about the association, including the God Descending Plan and the God of Destruction.
Indeed, in the bizarre event, the gods cannot restrain Rengatsu, and because Xu Fang's duplicate knows about the association, the gods cannot continue to restrict Rengatsu from informing Xu Fang in the real world. Because the gods have already assumed that Xu Fang is aware, one person who is aware can disclose information to another who is aware.
Rengatsu and Xu Fang's duplicate work together to unravel the bizarre event, but just as the event is about to end, Xu Fang #1-1 enters the chaotic time and space alone.
It died.
Rengatsu couldn't understand the duplicate's actions, and the duplicate didn't explain it to her.
This is troublesome. Not to mention whether she can see Xu Fang's true self, even if she does, it is highly likely that she will be misunderstood as the one who killed the duplicate. But even so, Rengatsu must see Xu Fang because that is her only hope of getting away from the association.
...
The fake cancer notification created by Kurosawa Rengatsu plunges Zhang Xinyuan into despair.
In the following, she orchestrates a trap, luring out the traitor Nagi among the newcomers and using Nagi to establish deterrence, then escaping from the twisted contracts with Zhang Xinyuan.
The association shifts its focus to Zhang Xinyuan, thinking that he is the mastermind.
Rengatsu manipulates Zhang Xinyuan in despair, trying to get him to confront the association using the setting bar, but the result is unsatisfactory.
When the association contacts them proactively, it's better to negotiate with them first.
Negotiations are dangerous, so it's natural for Zhang Xinyuan to handle it, while Rengatsu stays behind the scenes to manipulate his actions.
The President's attitude is stricter than Rengatsu expected. There is no bargaining over the conditions Zhang Xinyuan proposed, but rather a direct attack.
Rengatsu really doesn't want to lose Zhang Xinyuan as a tool, but seeing that he won't survive, she has no choice but to end him herself.
However, Rengatsu made a mistake. She did not receive Zhang Xinyuan's memories.
In that moment, she realizes two key pieces of information.
One, the gods mark the newcomers, and when a newcomer dies, their memories belong to the association. That's why the association is not worried about newcomers being killed by other authors.
Two, Xu Fang's duplicate committed suicide because even if it killed Rengatsu, it wouldn't necessarily gain her memories. However, if the association kills Rengatsu, they would know Xu Fang had no intention of getting involved and thus avoid becoming enemies....
President found Zhang Xinyuan's memory, eliminated all intimidation, and knows that Rengatsu is the mastermind behind the scenes.
The association will do its utmost to hunt down Rengatsu.
Is it already a deadlock? No, there is still a chance. Rengatsu will not give up until the last moment!
Rengatsu entered the bizarre event for the second time and used the techniques she learned from Xu Fangduplicate to pass the crisis thrillingly, and even gained benefits and obtained a crucial item - a travel ticket.
The bizarre event is indeed a lifesaver for the author. It bypasses the restrictions of Horror Novel Web and indirectly shows the author a way out. Its existence is more like an examination, as long as the author is lucky enough to pass the test, they will receive various forms of rewards.
Rengatsu saw a string of numbers in the second bizarre event.
If you draw a circle with the other location as the center and the number as the radius, the circumference will pass through a place near Boston.
Without hesitation, after making some arrangements, she immediately used the travel ticket to teleport herself to Boston.
Fearful that she may not have a chance to speak, she carved the association's information on the back of her hand. Even if she didn't have time to speak, as long as Xu Fang saw the back of her hand, her purpose would be achieved.
Perhaps it was destined, Rengatsu really met Xu Fang in person, and all the layouts were closed at this moment.
Some people are born lucky, and Rengatsu is one of them. God gave her intelligence, beauty, and luck. She can achieve anything, including taking Xu Fang and the association down together.
------------------------------------
Kurosawa Rengatsu and Ma Youcai were detained separately in a secret prison in Boston.
The US government has known the identities of the two and is extremely cautious in dealing with the author. They first conducted a full-body examination on the author and confiscated any electronic devices and suspicious items.
Then, three groups of investigators interrogated Rengatsu one after another. Due to the "Silence Curse," Rengatsu could not reveal anything about the association, so she could only describe the association as a "powerful entity." However, she could talk about Xu Fang's matters.
She knew the same thing was happening with Ma Youcai as well, and the police would carefully compare the testimony of both sides.
The government quickly understood what had happened. In summary, "high-level authors are fighting."
Realizing that two terrorist forces are fighting on their territory, the US government is highly nervous.
The government is contacting the Department of Defense to dispatch troops and thoroughly investigate the K organization. They are also preparing to evacuate the public. Once a conflict erupts, the military will act immediately to extinguish the dangerous flames.
Rengatsu was also given a task, which is to confirm the life and death status of Xu Fang and members of the association.
So, she was granted temporary permission to use a mobile phone, of course, under surveillance, and each use cannot exceed one minute.
Given the author's identity, except for having no privacy and freedom, their living conditions are like luxury hotels. The government seems to have experience in receiving authors, knowing how to appease their emotions and handle them safely.
For the country, authors are not terrifying; what is terrifying is the Horror Novel Web behind them. By not allowing authors to access mobile phones, they are no different from ordinary people.
Rengatsu seemed to be sentenced to "life imprisonment." Once Xu Fang and the association's death was confirmed, she would be transferred elsewhere as valuable research material... That should have been her fate.
However, before escaping from the association, Rengatsu planned an escape route for herself. She learned about a high-ranking military official in the US with a black mark through the novel website and made a deterrent to blackmail him into working for her.
That person agreed. He had to agree since the power of the military's black material is not to be underestimated, and it would cause panic if the public knew about it. If Rengatsu reveals him, there would be too many implications, and he would become the scapegoat for covering up the conspiracy.
November 10th.Yesterday evening, Rengatsu confirmed the demise of Xu Fang and the Association. Evidence one was that Gussy's related content could no longer be found online. Evidence two was that her Silence Curse had disappeared, allowing her to reveal the Association's secrets to outsiders.
Today was the agreed-upon day.
In the quiet prison corridor, the sound of slow footsteps suddenly echoed. Rengatsu knew that the person she was waiting for had arrived.
Someone was going to deliver her final "travel ticket" as an exchange, and she needed to remove the military high command's threat.
Rengatsu had obtained two travel tickets. Even before meeting Xu Fang, she had sent one of them through express mail, making its way back to her. As long as she had the travel ticket, she could immediately teleport to the pre-arranged smuggling point along the Niyue coast.
As for the mess left in America, let the locals clean it up at their own pace!
The so-called Association and demons were all just pawns of Rengatsu Kurosawa. She was the one playing the game, controlling everything. She was about to leave America as the triumphant winner, leaving behind the discarded pieces!
Only she would be the one laughing in the end.
Fantastic, just thinking about it was reaching its climax!
With a twisted smile, Rengatsu immersed herself in her sick fantasies. She enjoyed freedom and even more so the feeling of controlling the destiny of the strong as a weakling.
Perhaps that was the meaning of her becoming an author.
The footsteps stopped at the prison gate.
"Is this Rengatsu Kurosawa?" a hoarse voice, sounding like a woman, asked.
Rengatsu stood up from the couch and said, "You're too slow. Did you bring the stuff?"
Outside the gate, the dim light reflected a blurry figure. It raised its arm, seemingly holding something and aiming it at Rengatsu.
Rengatsu froze.
"Bang!"
A muffled gunshot rang out from the silencer-equipped pistol, and the bullet pierced directly into the girl's abdomen.
The impact pushed Rengatsu back a step. Sharp pain spread from her abdomen to her entire body. She reached for the source of pain, and when she looked at her hand, it was stained with fresh red blood.
"Huh...?" The pain and fear distorted her expression slightly.
Who wanted to kill her? Was it the higher-ups in the military trying to silence her? Impossible, if she died, all those dark secrets of the military would be exposed. They couldn't afford to let Rengatsu die, at least not now.
Was it the government? Also impossible. She was such a valuable research subject. How could they easily discard her?
Then who could it be?
The figure slightly adjusted the aim of the gun, this time aiming at Rengatsu's head.
"Wait, you can't kill me! I know many secrets!"
Rengatsu tried to stall the figure with idle chat. There were surveillance cameras here. As long as she could delay for some time, the guards monitoring her would come to stop everything.
The figure didn't reply, and it pulled the trigger directly.
"Bang!"
The bullet passed through Rengatsu's eye socket, blood splattered, and the girl's delicate body shook for a moment before stiffly falling down.
Rengatsu tried to stand up but found that her body wouldn't obey.
(Ouch...
My eyes hurt so much...
Am I going to die?
Oh no, I miscalculated. I thought I was on the second floor, but it turns out I'm only on the first floor...
Damn it, my consciousness is fading...)
In her final moment before death, Rengatsu's remaining brain raced, resisting death as if it was avoidable. But the outcome was already inevitable.
Her vision was consumed by darkness.
In the darkness, numerous familiar figures gradually emerged.
She saw her father, whom she had caused to die. She saw her mother and younger sister. She saw the despair she inflicted on people, and she saw herself gradually moving towards victory.
Finally, Rengatsu's gaze settled on Xu Fang. She opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but some words could no longer be spoken.
Her fragmented consciousness sank into boundless darkness and never returned.
Another "author" had vanished.......
From beginning to end, the figure didn't say a word. It stood outside the fence, gazing at Rengatsu's body until it disappeared, then turned and left.
"Report to the chief, Rengatsu Kurozawa has been eliminated, one target remains."
