Chapter 592 Identity Card

Why blue jay.

Facing Cinderella's question, Irving was silent for a while. He wanted to open his mouth to say something several times, but the words went out on the edge of his mouth, as if Irwin couldn't give a definite answer to this question.

"I like birds, especially the blue jay. Its feather color is very beautiful, a rare blue in nature, and it has a unique feeling."

Irving explained to Cinderella that as an author, no matter how mysterious and withdrawn Irving is, he still needs to communicate with others. People often ask Irving this question. For this reason, Irving has prepared a set of rhetoric early on to deal with it. these situations.

Cinderella said, "You're lying."

"Why?" Irwin didn't understand. "You have read my book, you know, I like birds very much, that's a fact."

Of course Cinderella knew this. In the story of "Night Hunter", Irwin did not describe the real names of the hunters, but the code names of bird names one after another.

When some readers communicated, they suspected that Irwin was actually an ornithologist, and some people suspected that Irwin was just too lazy to name them. He bought a copy of "The Encyclopedia of Birds", and used the name of the bird on whichever page he turned to. Character naming.

Cinderella frowned, and it sounded like Irwin was not lying, but she still shook her head vigorously, "No, I just think you lied, and you've said it before, the authors are master liars."

"Oh? So we've switched roles?"

Irving found the matter interesting, "You lied to me before, but now it's me, so guess which ones are true?"

Cinderella thought for two seconds, her head froze, she couldn't figure it out, and her voice was a little higher, "Hello! Is your pseudonym just like that, is it that simple?"

"Otherwise? Do you think it's complicated?"

Irwin laughed out loud. He liked to see Cinderella deflated, which was much more interesting than fighting.

"After getting off the train, I came to a small town. As always, I worked several jobs and lived in a dark and damp basement. Whenever I took a break, I started writing. When I finished the first manuscript It was only when I realized I needed a pseudonym."

Irving told the story of his own creation, "People say that the name is a very important thing. For this reason, I struggled for a long time, what kind of pen name should I choose."

"I thought about it for a long time, and then I noticed a corner of the newspaper. It was a popular science section, which happened to talk about birds like blue jays."

Irwin recited the words in the newspaper skillfully, and even after all these years, he still remembered them clearly.

"The blue jay's feather color is very beautiful, it is a rare blue in nature, and it has a unique beauty."

Irving explained to Cinderella word by word, "I think, why do we have to follow the crowd? It's better to be more casual than to assign a bunch of meaningless meanings to the pseudonym."

Cinderella's voice rose, "So you used Blue Jay as a pseudonym? It's just because of a damn newspaper!"

"Yeah, it's not the pseudonym that's meaningful, what's really meaningful is that moment. If the kestrel and other birds were introduced in the newspaper at that time, my pseudonym might have been the kestrel."

Irwin spread his hands and easily shattered all Cinderella's fantasies about him.

"Is there anything else you want to ask? For example, the design of some storylines, the arrangement of some characters?"

Irwin is a little addicted, this kind of shattering of the girl's innocent fantasy, watching her expression gradually collapse, has an indescribable pleasure.

"That……"

The way Cinderella looks at Irving has completely changed. In some moments, Irwin is even more hateful than the demons. The demons just want to kill themselves, but Irwin wants to completely destroy his dream.

"For example..."

"Shut up you!"

Cinderella threw a half-eaten apple at Irwin, and she already regretted asking Irwin, instead of letting Irwin destroy all his beautiful fantasies, it would be better to stop him.

Irwin couldn't stop laughing. He had been looking forward to this kind of interaction with readers for a long time. He thought there was no hope, but he actually encountered this situation.

After a while, the room calmed down again. Cinderella sat on a chair beside her and looked out the porthole in confusion. In the end, she still didn't see it as a whale, and like Irwin, she was temporarily placed under house arrest on the Terror .

Irwin is unknown, but the blue jay has a certain social influence, and also has a friendship with Noren.

It can be said that Irwin's identity relationship is extremely complicated, which caused the people of Xitao and the special operations team to not know how to deal with him for a while, and there are things far more important than Irwin, so Irwin was temporarily put on hold , Peace of mind recuperating on the Terror, like being forced to go on vacation.

As for Cinderella's identity, Irving made up a random story to fool her.

Irwin said to the angry Cinderella, "You are my niece now, you better be honest."

When Burlogo and the others questioned, Irwin temporarily made up such a story. In fact, he himself did not understand Cinderella's identity.

This is not a perfect lie. As long as someone simply checks Irwin's identity relationship, he can see through Irwin's lie, but these sublimation people obviously don't care about it.

"What niece!"

Cinderella raised her hand to hit Irving on the head, but her arms were far shorter than Irving's. If Irving simply raised his hand to hold her head, she would not be able to reach Irving.

Cinderella continued, "I don't like the ID card."

"Identify card?"

Irwin didn't understand the meaning of this word, and Cinderella often said some words that he didn't understand. Irwin could only helplessly attribute it to the generation gap between them.

"Haven't you ever played board games?" Cinderella asked back, "Role-playing identity card?"

Irving hadn't heard of it at all. "What's that?"

Cinderella was silent for a moment, then asked cautiously, "Have you heard of "Journey from Never Night"?"

Irving didn't understand what Cinderella was talking about, "Of course I know this, it's the setting in my book."

In the setting of "Night Hunter", hunters will take an armed train cruise and hunt monsters along the way. This trip is called the journey of the night.

Cinderella was stunned, and she asked again, "Irving, do you know that your novel has been adapted into a board game?"

"what?"

Irving thought for a long time, "I have to look through the contract."

Cinderella screamed, "Are you really a blue jay? You don't know such a thing!"

Irwin said, "I'm just an author, and I can only type on a typewriter. I don't know how to do these things. There are specialties in the art industry. I leave these things to my editor."

"Then you haven't played this once?"

"No... I live alone, no one plays with me," Irwin tried to recall, "I remember my editor mailed this thing to me a while ago, and it should be stuffed in a cabinet..."

Listening to Irving's nonsense, Cinderella felt that something in her heart was collapsing little by little, turning into dust on the ground.

"Let me explain, board games are where everyone plays different roles, puts themselves into the game, and completes a story together. The identity card includes all the information about the role you want to play, such as the story of the role, the value of the ability, and the like. And it will determine where you are in the story."

Cinderella described to Irwin, her wine red eyes fixed on Irwin.

"For example, if everything we experience is a game, then 'Cinderella' is the name of my character, her background story is a girl who wants to see whales for a strange reason, the stats are mediocre, but very Lucky, eccentric..."

Cinderella became more and more excited as she spoke, and compared Irving again, "Irving is a player, and Blue Jay is your identity card, and it is the name of the character you will play. Do you understand?"

Irving nodded half-understood. This is the first time he has come into contact with board games. Irving likes the setting of identity cards.

"It's like putting on a mask and going on stage to perform."

"That's right," Cinderella said, "you can stop being yourself and play another role."

Irwin remembered a sentence, he couldn't remember who said it, "Sometimes when you put on a mask, you take it off."

"Correct!"

Cinderella was so excited, "The mask can cover up your appearance and let you release your nature without restraint, no matter what your nature is!"

Irwin felt that Cinderella was implying something, but the wine-red pupils were very pure, and she just thought it was interesting.

Just when Irving was about to say something, there was a knock on the door, and the door was pushed open again.
