Chapter 882 Ming Ke - 2 Authors
Oda Sakunosuke did go to the sanatorium to collect materials, and Matsuda Jinpei and Hagiwara Kenji, who were on their way to the villa, took him on a tour of the sanatorium.
"A room without a door, an elevator that turns..." Oda Sakunosuke felt that his collection of materials was very smooth, but he felt a little regretful that he did not see the Black Organization's big boss Karasuma Renya himself.
"Mr. Oda also writes mystery novels?" Kudo Yusaku observed from the side for a long time and became very curious about Oda Sakunosuke.
"Hmm? Not really. I write everything." For his own reasons, Oda Sakunosuke prefers to write novels in which the protagonist was once a killer. Then, because of the people he knows, he also started writing other types of novels.
For example, the protagonist is the illegitimate son of a gang leader, but he has never known his identity since he was a child. However, he unexpectedly admired the gang leader since he was a child and dreamed of becoming a person like him. Until the day he became an adult, the gang leader was assassinated and he learned about his own life experience.
Then he spent a week working with his temporary team to defeat the hostile forces that were assassinating the gang leader, and finally became the next gang leader.
The protagonist is a famous detective, but one day, he wakes up and finds that he has turned into the child next door who has become a vegetable due to a car accident. Then he begins to look for a way to change back while continuing his detective career. At the same time, the life of this child is subtly restarted.
In addition to this kind of imagination, there are many others, which are basically taken from the people around him and his adventures in other worlds.
He tweaked it a bit and added some new things, but overall it's still very similar to the story that inspired it.
Detective novels are also a subject that he has always been interested in, but generally detective novels will definitely have a protagonist, a detective, and then there will be a villain that runs through the entire text.
However, he felt that his skills were not enough to support such a long story, so he wanted to write it in a simpler way. He simply wrote the whole book around one case. The protagonist did not have to be a detective, but the case itself had to be exciting enough.
Because the entire book only describes one case and there are very few characters, every detail must be exciting enough to attract readers to continue reading.
He once again came up with the idea of using a killer as the protagonist.
Or maybe an elderly detective, such unconventional elements would be more attractive.
There can even be two protagonists, one is a killer and the other is a detective, but they are both very old now and have been retired for many years. They no longer do their jobs and instead begin to silently wait for death to come.
Then at this time they met and were involved in a secret case.
There is a huge shadow behind the case, and it seems that the two of them alone cannot shake it.
But it would be great to do something great and vigorous at the last moment of life!
So, the two people who were supposed to be in opposition began to cooperate. One was a detective, and his friends were either policemen or detectives, and everyone in his circle of friends was decent.
The other is a killer, and the people around him are either colleagues or guests, and his circle of friends are all villains.
They each used their own abilities and power to stage a drama that was both hilarious and exciting.
What he is struggling with now is the shadow behind the case, that is, the evil organization behind the sanatorium. Should he let it be solved smoothly?
There are only two of us. No matter how capable the people in our circle of friends are, it seems difficult for us to come up with a logical solution to the organization behind the scenes.
After all, the protagonists he initially envisioned, whether they were killers or detectives, did not have any particularly powerful forces behind them. Both of them started from scratch and accumulated some connections through decades of hard work, and that was all.
So they are neither from noble families nor have any large forces to assist them. One of them is a detective and the other is a killer. They are not characters that can hold high respect in the eyes of the authorities. How can they deal with such a large organization?
Oda Sakunosuke couldn't help but share his thoughts with Kudo Yusaku. He was a little curious about what kind of advice this mystery novel expert would give him.
"I prefer the ending where the organization is eliminated. As for how the two of them are going to eliminate the organization..." Kudo Yusaku gave advice to Oda Sakunosuke with great interest, "It could be due to an accident, or it could be due to a series of chain reactions caused by the protagonists' mistakes that led to the elimination of the organization. These are both more interesting developments."
"If you want an ending that makes you feel creepy when you think about it carefully, you can write that the organization is not eliminated." Kudo Yusaku feels that both endings are actually more popular with current audiences, one tends to be more beautiful and the other tends to be more dark.
The protagonists fought vigorously and died peacefully in the end, but their efforts did not bring any good results. They came and they left, and that was all.
"Every time I write a novel, the ending is always very confusing." Oda Sakunosuke feels that he has "ending difficulty syndrome", as if the ending of every novel makes him very confused.
And most of the time it hesitates between a happier ending and a darker ending.
But he didn't want an open ending, so he could only ask people around him for their opinions. Unfortunately, he had to make the final decision himself, so he always had to give up an ending with great pain.
Although sometimes another abandoned ending can be included in the extra chapter as an Easter egg, but once the decision is made, the officially chosen ending of the main text is the only ending in everyone's mind, and the extra chapter can only serve as a compensation.
"This shows that Mr. Oda attaches great importance to his novels. Everyone must hope that the characters in his novels can have a good ending." Kudo Yusaku couldn't help but curiously ask what the name of the novel written by Oda Sakunosuke was. From chatting with him, he always felt that the novels he wrote should be pretty good.
Oda Sakunosuke fell silent. Of course, his novels did not exist in this world.
"It hasn't been published yet." That was all he could say.
Then Kudo Yusaku said he could introduce him to a publishing house.
Oda Sakunosuke fell silent again.
How about... publishing it in this world as well?
