Mystery: The Undead Don't Die from Linking the Fire

Chapter 41 You're a grown man writing romance novels?

Of course Fors knew that Ember was an 'apprentice,' but that was all she knew.

Because all she knew was that the Ember was an apprentice-level being, an official extraordinary being.

But in her heart, she thought that Ember should at least be a Sequence 8 or even a Sequence 7 Night Watcher!

After all, the pressure she felt when they first met was too strong. Although it was partly because she was a wild extraordinary being and felt guilty, Ember's subsequent revelation of his understanding of the curse she suffered made her completely mistakenly believe that Ember was a powerful being above the apprentice level.

That's why she gave up resisting the moment she was caught, and even obediently handed over the bracelet.

Because she felt it would be difficult for her to escape from the hands of a "mid-sequence powerhouse".

But who knew that Ember was just an apprentice, and was still in the stage of 'playing' an apprentice!

Doesn't this mean he hasn't even fully digested the potion yet?

Having already spent two years in the apprenticeship stage, my understanding of the apprentices' abilities far surpasses that of the other party.

If she had known it would be like this, wouldn't she have been able to just run away when they first met?

Although if they had run away back then, they probably wouldn't have been able to connect with Ember.

They couldn't survive this full moon and went out of control, transforming into monsters.

Instead, being captured by Yu Jin gave her a chance to survive.

But Fors' heart was still filled with resentment.

"you."

Fors gritted her teeth and asked, "When did you become an apprentice?"

"About 12 days ago."

Ember wondered why Fors would ask such a question, but still answered casually.

"12 days?"

Fors was increasingly devastated.

How could a "veteran" who had been an apprentice for two years be captured by a newcomer who had only been an apprentice for 12 days?

No.

Not 12 days!

He had captured himself five days ago, exactly one week after the other person became an Extraordinary.

"I understand the reasoning."

Unlike the distraught Fors, Hugh fell into deep thought and asked curiously, "But, is what you're doing really going to work?"

The key to the role-playing method lies in the role itself, meaning that Ember himself must play the role of an apprentice in order to digest the potion.

But Yu Jin's current approach seems more like taking shortcuts.

He simply allowed Fors to publish Ember's work under the name of her apprentice.

In other words, the embers never actually need to show themselves from beginning to end.

Will this really work?

"Why isn't it working?"

Yu Jin calmly replied, "The act is for others to see. As long as they believe I'm an apprentice, that's enough. Whether I'm actually an apprentice or how I was mistaken for one is irrelevant."

"is that so?"

Upon hearing this, Xiu looked thoughtful.

It felt a little strange.

But since it was said by the embers of the Dharma who told them, it must make sense.

"No, I made that up."

Yu Jin calmly replied, "I just wanted to conduct an experiment."

Hugh choked immediately.

You made it up off the top of your head and you're so self-righteous about it?

And you just casually use yourself as an experiment, aren't you afraid of causing problems?

"Hmph, making money by writing books isn't that easy."

Fors had recovered somewhat by now and glanced at Ember with a hint of arrogance.

Not just anyone can become a successful writer like her by casually writing a few words.

However, since he was just an "apprentice," she didn't expect Yu Jin to be particularly outstanding.

But then I thought about it again.

Yu Jin accepted half of the royalties from this book as payment.

But if the writing is too bad and she doesn't earn a penny, wouldn't she be working for nothing and ruining her reputation?

"Tsk."

"Where's the book?"

Fors pursed her lips and asked with a hint of complaint.

Yu Jin casually pulled out a book and handed it to Fors.

"Where did you get all this from?"

Xiu couldn't help but complain inwardly; this wasn't the first time Yu Jin had taken things out in front of them.

She had no idea how Yu Jin did it.

Besides, the other person's clothes don't seem like they could hide that many things.

"A snow-covered mountain lodge?"

Fors glanced at the title page and felt a little like complaining.

Even the book title is a direct copy of her "Stormy Mountain Villa," as if afraid others wouldn't notice. This is enough to show that this Mr. Ember is indeed a genuine "apprentice."

hum!

Then let me, the author of the bestselling book "Stormy Mountain Villa," teach you, my apprentice, how to write a book!

"On another note..."

Seeing Fors flipping through the remaining Ashes' novels, Hugh asked, "If one knew the method of acting from the beginning, how long would it take for a person to fully digest a potion?"

"The shortest period is one month, and the longest is half a year."

"A month?"

Fors's proud expression instantly crumbled.

How long did she remain in the apprenticeship stage?

Two years!

Two whole years!

Do you know how she's been these past two years?

If she had known the acting method sooner, she wouldn't have wasted two years as an apprentice!

"Wait a moment."

Fors suddenly remembered something, "It seems that even if I digest the potion in advance, it won't be of any use, since I don't have the Sequence 8 Trick Master potion."

Oh, that's okay.

Fors was deflated once again and silently lowered her head to continue reading the novel.

But I still felt a bit indignant.

Why did it take her two years to fully digest the potion, while others only needed a month?

Before this, she had thought she was a genius.

No!

We can't just put up with this!

She was going to find fault with Ember's book and show him who was the real boss when it came to writing books!

however.

After she finished reading Yu Jin's book in a huff, her expression suddenly became incredibly interesting.

"you……"

Fors suddenly looked up to search for Ember's figure, but found nothing.

All I could see was my friend sitting on the sofa next to me, drinking coffee.

"Where is Yu Jin?"

Fors asked.

"They left a long time ago."

Hugh took a sip of coffee and said casually, "I saw you were engrossed in your book, so I didn't want to disturb you. How was it? Was his writing terrible?"

"Oops?"

Fors forced a smile that looked more like a grimace, and said dejectedly, "It's more than just bad, it's far better than what I wrote!"

"what?"

Hugh said incredulously, "He, a man, writes romance novels that are better than yours?"

"It's not a romance novel."

Fors crossed her legs on the sofa, hugged her knees, buried her head in them, and muttered, "It's a suspense novel, not a single romance element. Honestly, what was he thinking? The titles are exactly the same, but the content is completely different. To paraphrase Emperor Roselle, they're totally unrelated!"

"Forehead……"

Hugh's expression was a little strange. She had also read Fors's "Stormy Mountain Villa," in which the protagonist, Ms. Sissi, was a detective disguised as a governess, so the novel contained some suspenseful elements.

However, there is only a small element of suspense.

Even this element of suspense serves as a prelude to the romance.

Who is the main character in this book?

Hugh suddenly became interested and asked curiously.

"main character?"

Fors looked up and said in a very frustrated tone, "This book doesn't have a main character at all. There are only ten people who appear in total, and in the end, they all die in that 'snow-covered mountain lodge.' I feel that this book should be called 'And Then There Were None' rather than 'Snow-covered Mountain Lodge'!"

"You're making me even more interested?"

Xiu sidled up, picked up the book, and began reading with great interest.

"It's so late, don't you need to sleep?"

Fors asked with a hint of helplessness.

"I just had coffee."

Hugh replied casually, but his mind quickly drifted into the story of "The Snowdrift Manor".
