It is in sharp contrast to Ouyang Ao's strength and unruliness;
Krisna subconsciously determined the identity of the other party;
Mr. Shen!
The anger that was originally ready to be vented on Ouyang Ao turned into surprise and surprise. Krisna didn't know what to say for a while.
"My surname is Shen."
The voice on the microphone remained calm and gave a very brief self-introduction.
"Um...I...I'm He Man." Krisna finally came to her senses and said quickly.
Unexpectedly, no more sound came from the microphone.
There was silence for half a minute.
If it weren't for the blind tone of the phone hanging up on the microphone, Krisna almost suspected that the call had ended.
but…
This is what a call between time travelers looks like!
Krisna understands this silence and feels the situation of being hesitant to speak...
Two people who also traveled from the land of China to another world had a phone call for the first time. It was a little mysterious, a little exciting, a little wary, and even a little scary.
For a time, Krisna thought a lot in her mind...
Should I ask who the other person was before time travel? Who is the other person now?
Should I tell the other person who he was before and who he is now?
The other person is obviously just a stranger. Even though he is the same traveler as himself, lived in the same land in the past, has the same time and space, and has similar life experiences...but, the other person is indeed a stranger.
Krisna swallowed subconsciously, feeling like she had a thousand words to say, but she didn't know what to say;
Nothing seems appropriate to say...
"It seems you are the same as me." The voice from the microphone broke the current awkwardness:
"I just intuitively thought that we should get to know each other, but I didn't think about the purpose of contact."
It was really because of this that Krisna nodded wordlessly.
This situation caused nothing to say. It was just that Krisna discovered that there were fellow villagers who had traveled through time just like her. She intuitively thought that everyone should contact each other, but she never thought about the purpose of contact... This led to the phone call. After getting through, there was nothing to talk about.
A conversation without purpose can only be about everyday things, but two strangers lack the emotional foundation to talk about everyday things.
"Maybe..." Krisna let out a long sigh: "Maybe it's to find some comfort. Can you understand the confusion and... loneliness after traveling through time?"
Krisna's last voice rose a little and turned into a rhetorical question, because even she herself was not sure whether she had such feelings.
"Haha..." The still steady laughter came from the microphone:
"I have a purpose in mind now!"
"Oh?" Krisna suddenly became interested.
The voice on the microphone paused:
"I want to know what caused us to travel through time, contact everyone to find some clues, and then... I want to find a way to go home!"
go home……
Not many people want to go home after traveling through time. At least in the novels she has read and written, such protagonists are rare... Krisna thought for a while and said:
"We are different in this way, I don't want to go back..."
"Oh?" This time it was the voice from the other side of the phone that sounded suspicious.
It seems that she has found a suitable topic. Krisna has relaxed a lot at this time. Her current mentality is like when the communication software was just started. She always wanted to find a stranger to talk to about herself without taking any responsibility.
life and thoughts, etc...
After briefly recalling her "previous life", Krisna softly narrated into the microphone:
"On Earth... I was an orphan. I grew up with my grandmother. After I went to college, my grandmother passed away."
"In order to make a living, I studied while working and studying. When I had time, I wrote novels on Dianniang to increase my income. After graduation, I didn't find a job, so I wrote novels full-time."
"I don't know if you are from the industry. We people have a saying - writing novels is a dead end."
"Are you a writer?" Before she could finish speaking, the voice on the microphone interrupted Krisna's narration.
The voice did not remain as steady as before, but instead sounded unexpectedly surprising.
The surprised tone made Krisna think that this was due to an accident about her "profession". In her understanding, this was not a legitimate profession in the eyes of most people...
After a pause, she laughed at herself: "What a writer, just a coder."
Seeing that Mr. Shen on the microphone fell silent, Krisna finally found a topic she could talk about and wanted to talk about:
"Internet writers are just a group of coders. I wrote more than 5 million words in three years, barely making a living..."
"If you are not in this field, you may not know... The first 300,000 words of codewords are free, and there is no income at all. The performance depends on a series of recommendations, and the recommendations depend on the performance of several books in the same period.
, the only way out is to win in a lot of books, and..."
Krisna seems to have opened the flood valve of bitter waters:
"I have to worry about the beast of harmony at all times. If I'm not careful, half a year or even a year of hard work will disappear... Also, I write about female videos. You don't know how cool female videos are. There are more writers than readers..."
"After three years of writing the book, I am completely out of touch with society. It will be difficult to find a job."
"I don't want to go back to the past. Now that I have started a new life, I want to have a different life."
Mr. Shen on the other side of the microphone remained silent and listened quietly to Krisna's words...
After a long time, a voice came from the microphone:
"So, in order to conceal your address, you changed the name of your home phone line to 'Qidian Novel Company'?"
"Well, after leaving a message yesterday, I contacted the telephone company to change it." Krisna replied softly: "The name was a sudden inspiration."
"You seem to have a lot of resentment about this?" A question came out of the microphone in a calm narrative tone.
"It's out of the question." Krisna paused: "Those things are in the past, and I have started a new life."
"What about you? What did you do originally?"
... There was silence on the phone for a long time, as if he was hesitating where to start. After waiting for a few breaths, he heard a steady voice coming again:
"I write male videos, suspense category."
"But...my editor is a beautiful woman and a very nice person."
"Although he is very cold and doesn't like to talk much, he is very kind to me..."
"A suspense novel can be put on the shelves with only 100,000 words, and the number of words updated daily is not as high as fantasy and urban fiction require."
"The focus is on the twists and turns of the plot, not the number of words..."
…
After hearing Mr. Shen's narration, Krisna's dark blue pupils gradually widened, as if she had been struck by lightning, and her body suddenly stiffened.
"So, I am also the coder you mentioned..." The voice on the microphone sighed:
"I understand all your pain!"
Krisna felt her tongue was numb, and she didn't know what to say for a while.
Then, more than ten seconds later, a voice that seemed to be aware of it came from the microphone, with a hint of doubt, a hint of surprise, and a hint of realization:
"We both write novels...could this be more than just a coincidence?"
"Are all time travelers writing novels?"
“Internet article authors group transmigration incident?”
"I...I don't know." Krisna was surprised just now because she realized this.
"It seems that we really need to contact more people to verify this." Mr. Shen said on the microphone.
It took Krisna a lot of time to come back to her senses and nodded subconsciously into the microphone:
"Um."
After saying that, she suddenly remembered something and said into the phone: "Ouyang Ao just contacted me, also by phone."
"Ouyang Ao?"
"Yes... you probably don't know him. He is the 'Guo Kai' in the newspaper. Did you find the message from Guo Kai?" Krisna described the matter in detail, including what happened on the phone just now, Guo Kai Kai wants to be the "boss" of the group.
Not only did I know, but I also met him, and even gave him an incurable disease... The person on the other end of the phone pursed his lips silently, cursing in his heart.
Then, I heard the summary from "He Man" on the other side:
"He is not mentally mature. If you keep in contact with him, you may be exposed."
Either he is mentally immature, or he is just a young man in the second grade of middle school!
After what happened last time, it seems that there is still no restraint... I can't help but feel a little worried about my sister's work.
"Even if we don't consider Guo Kai, we have no way to contact other time-travelers now. I don't have their contact information, so I can only wait for them to call me." Krisna held the microphone in her hand and analyzed:
"Moreover, telephone contact is neither safe nor convenient. I cannot be a transfer station for all travelers to send messages. We can't all create an address book and call each other."
"If we want to establish contact with everyone, the phone is not a good choice... We need chat software like Penguin or WeChat to be more suitable... This world does not have it."
Mo Zhi pondered for a moment. He already had the answer to this question and asked softly into the phone:
"Do you know about contract items?"
"Contract items?" Krisna on the other end of the phone obviously paused: "I know..."
That's exactly what today's Silver Hand training is about...
This time, Mo Zhi was a little confused. He forgot to ask "He Man" if he was a contractor. Even if he was a contractor, if he was within Pandora's order, he probably wouldn't know about the existence of "contract items".
What is the identity of "He Man"?
Mo Cai thought for two seconds, weighed the pros and cons of asking directly, and felt that there should be no problem, so he spoke:
"Are you a contractor? How do you know about the contract items?"
"It's a contractor who has just awakened." Krisna did not hide this. She had hinted in the newspaper that she had awakened;
As for the matter of the Silver Hand, she was a little repelled;
Another thing she may not realize is that through the mutual understanding of communication between the street writers, a bud of trust has grown in her heart towards Mr. Shen on the other side of the microphone.
Thanks to the worst wine brother, Yan Lu, Tian Ling Meng, and book friends 20170823065106303 for their rewards.
Today I finally wrote about another main thread, the time traveler chat group.
Spoilers ahead of time, those who travel through time are still street writers.
