Odd Containment Specialist.

Chapter 1069 Another Book
"You mean, is there a way to completely stop having these kinds of dreams in the future?" Xia Shou asked.

“Yes, just like at the very beginning, when you never dreamed of the outside world, I think this is the happiest life for you, Lord Natsumori,” Alice said sincerely.

She noticed that Xia Shou seemed to be deep in thought.

Indeed, this is something that should be seriously considered.

But she was confident she could persuade the current Xia Shou.

No one understands Xia Shou better than her, no one has spent more time with Xia Shou than her, and similarly, no one knows how heavy a mission Xia Shou carries.

That kind of mission shouldn't have been borne by him alone. Why should Lord Xia Shou have to do all this endless work?

Sisyphus was forced to fulfill that endless obligation because of the gods' command, but Lord Summer Guardian could shirk that task and completely abandon it.

This only considers the outside world. In contrast, in the world of the book, he suffered even more torment and devastation. In this world, he is completely a "madman," and only a few people understand him this time.

But Alice knew that this peaceful daily life could not last long, because she was very clear that Xia Shou did not have enough self-control, or rather... Xia Shou's self-control was too strong, which was why he could not have peace.

Because Natsume is still Natsume when he wakes up from a dream, and it is precisely because he has an incredibly strong will that he leaves a huge emotional impact on his self in this world after each dream, forcing him to do those dangerous things.

Serial murders...

Even someone like Lord Xia Shou, who possesses extraordinary abilities in this world, cannot escape the law indefinitely, because the future is infinite, while the capacity of a book or the life of a character is ultimately finite.

Since that's the case, why not just end it all, completely separate the book from the outside world, and live in the book from now on?

"How?"

"The magic poem can change the narrative structure of the entire book and delete or modify the content that has already appeared. All you need to do is give up your mission to kill gods, Lord Xia Shou!" Alice said.

Upon hearing the name "Magic Poem," Xia Shou immediately thought of Dorian Gray.

One of the acting masters of the Heavenly Choir is the Wandering Poet, who is also an agent under the Demon Poetry.

Some more hazy memories flickered in the depths of his mind. He vaguely remembered that others had discussed the magic poem with him, explaining in detail the "political" game behind the god-slaying incident.

Admittedly, Alice's offer was very tempting.

Especially at this time and place, making such a suggestion is even more tempting.

If he hadn't already become convinced of the existence of the dream world, Alice's suggestion at this moment would have been tantamount to offering a perfect treatment suggestion to a mentally ill patient who was living a happy life with both family and career success.

Moreover, this suggestion has no side effects or costs; for him in reality, it's just a matter of whether he's willing or not. The premise is simply: as long as you don't want to get sick, then I have a way to make sure you never get sick again and completely cure you.

For ordinary mental patients, this is no longer a transaction, but a wish.

But for Natsumori, who was already convinced that the dream world was real, this tempting offer was highly suspicious.

He promised Dorian he would go back to save her.

And if I don't go back, what will happen to Wei Yu? She'll be all alone.

Oh, although Xiaoyue will be able to see her again many years later, he himself still can't completely let go of the other side. It's not just because of the people he knows, but also because of the things that have happened, those entrustments that he can hardly remember now. He dreamed that he defeated the Beast King's named and proxy forces, and dreamed of the worshippers who followed him.

As Alice said, he had been affected by these filth.

No, that is not filth. How can the path he himself walked and the footprints he left along the way be regarded as a burden?

And in the very beginning, how did I come into contact with the outside world?
If the world in the book is really so wonderful, then why would I leave the book to go to the outside world?
If I was initially forcibly pulled out into the outside world by outsiders, then why am I so immersed in life outside in my later life experiences?

Xia Shou no longer knew his initial motivation for trying to leave the book, but he knew there must have been an initial adventure, only he didn't know when or how many years ago it happened.

Moreover... the Death Note also states that the current Alice is untrustworthy and her mind is corrupted. Although the conditions she offers are very tempting, they are probably no longer Alice's own will; Alice just thinks she still has free will.

It was the magic poem; it was the magic poem that influenced her.

Since that's the case, let's play along.

With this in mind, Xia Shou asked, "If we want to completely resolve these issues, what should we do?"

……

……

A library of human nature.

Sharo led Edward through the constantly moving bookshelves. They had been searching the library day and night for several days, but still hadn't found the book Edward had mentioned.

But Edward seemed quite certain that the book he was looking for was right here.

While Edward was searching, Sharo could only wait patiently on the sidelines; she couldn't help, but she also couldn't leave.

Logically speaking, it is not allowed for outsiders like Edward to freely browse books in the library, but unfortunately, Sharo's divination shows that if she does not help Edward, the Library of Humanity may be destroyed.

The reason for its destruction, Sara could only vaguely hear in the sand table, the rustling sound of sand rubbing together accompanied by the sound of a shamisen being played, and an ancient demon Buddha that would burn the library to the ground.

There are too few clues. The only relatively certain conclusion is that if Edward's actions are not allowed to proceed smoothly, then there is a high probability that some anomaly from the direction of Japan will cause the destruction of the library.

It was because of this prediction that the librarian allowed her to take Edward to the library to find that mysterious book.

“Oh, this should be the one.” Edward carried an extremely large sheepskin blanket, one meter high, one meter wide, and half a meter thick, out of the bottom shelf.

"Is this what you're looking for?" Sharo's eyebrows furrowed beneath the black cloth. "I remember that parchment was just a travelogue by a wizard who traveled to various places."

“I didn’t expect Miss Sharo to have even read this, but I imagine you didn’t read it all the way through?” Edward asked rhetorically.

"I haven't read it, but the senior members of the library have all been subjected to magic, and when they see a book, if someone has left a special book review, we can see it."

So from my current perspective, there are still some comments left by readers on that wool blanket you're holding.

"How did they write it?"
