Falsifying history is good business

Chapter 257 Lin You Died Too Early

The topic of the butterfly effect is too broad, and Lin You, with his limited knowledge that is barely enough to write online articles, has no way of commenting on it; he only calmed down when he talked about continuing to observe the "unknown".

"The only thing left to observe is whether Dumbledore's sister can be resurrected. If she can do that, it will definitely change the fate of many people. At least, Dumbledore himself will not suffer a fatal injury from the Resurrection Stone."

"What are you going to do?" God's calm face was actually tinged with worry. "Every step you took in the incident before, not only were you trembling with fear, I was also uneasy. Until now, I still haven't figured out the limits of the 'unknown' incident that the writer is allowed to intervene in."

"Me? I'll let it go, but I'll be happy to see it happen." Lin You said expectantly, "The job of a writer is to maintain the existing order. I'm certainly happy to encounter something new that is not controlled by a quill pen."

"Then just do it, but be careful. I think that the demon from the demon hunter world is really smart, and the so-called 'reasonable' standard he proposed is worth referring to." God reminded in a gentle voice.

"Don't worry, He and I are... old friends." Lin You turned around and was about to leave, but suddenly remembered something, "I almost forgot to ask, why did you use the "GTA" game as an example before? Obviously, I played so many games in my previous life, and there were more than one RPG type."

"Just said it casually... Oh, yes, maybe it's because there have been new changes in the story world of GTA recently, which left an impression on me." God suddenly recalled.

"What's the new change?" Lin You's curiosity was aroused, and while asking, he walked towards the "sand table" that carried the projection of the story world.

God also followed and dragged the projection light ball representing the GTA story in front of him. Lin You took a quick look and discovered the so-called "change".

"Why does it feel like this world is bigger than before? But the new parts are so blurry?"

"Because some time ago, the real dimension just released the trailer for the sixth generation of this game; although it's just..." God explained slowly and casually, but was interrupted anxiously by Lin You.

"Some time ago, when exactly?"

"The time in the real dimension has reached 2024; the trailer will be released in December 2023."

Lin You opened his eyes wide and looked carefully at the projection of the world in front of him. He saw that in addition to the familiar maps of several islands, there was a vague large island and a large area of ​​sea out of thin air; but the newly added image was like separated by a thick layer of fog, and one could only vaguely distinguish the outline but not see the details.

"With just a trailer released, the size of the related story world in the Unreal Dimension has been increased? Are you sure the game has not been released?"

God laughed in silence. "I'm sure it's just a trailer. Perhaps this game series is so influential that a trailer has ignited the enthusiasm of the players in the real dimension. Their mental fluctuations have also quickly affected the virtual dimension."

"Huh..." Lin You held his forehead with his hand, his heart was greatly shocked; "Based on the current situation, I'm afraid that this new world will be completely formed on the first day of the game's release; it is estimated that it will break the record for the speed of world formation."

The speed of information dissemination in the real dimension is getting faster and faster; in the past, a story had to be spread through decades or even generations before it could accumulate enough influence to form a story world in the virtual dimension.

Later in the industrial age, the emergence of movies and television accelerated the speed of the world's formation; those influential movies and TV series often took a few months or even days to form the world. Now it seems that the sixth generation of the "GTA" series is likely to expand the boundaries of the world in the virtual dimension at an unprecedented speed; it is not even ruled out that it will be finalized before the game is released.

"Do you know when the game will be released?" Lin You asked.

"There's already a big argument over this issue in the real dimension," God couldn't help laughing, "but most people agree that it will be in 2025. There are still different opinions on whether it will be in the first half or the second half of the year."

"Oh, I died too early!" Lin You slapped his forehead, and then he lamented repeatedly; "I died too early, too early... If I had known this, I should have gone to bed and gotten up early, eaten regularly, exercised, and tried to live three more years."

Even with God's calmness, he couldn't help but roll his eyes when he heard this series of mumbling.

"If you want, I can send you to the story world of GTA right now and let you play a real-life game to relive your old memories. What do you think?"

Lin You could tell that God's tone was not right, so he smiled awkwardly, "No need. I'm worried that if I go to that world, I'll miss the lifestyle of the 21st century and won't want to come back."

From a Chinese perspective, the 21st century—especially from the second decade onwards—is a completely different world from the 1990s. Although Lin You is nearly ten years old in his physical body, he actually started living in the big world at the age of seven.

Two or three short years could not erase his memory of life in the 21st century.

"Then you should hurry back to the big world and put an end to this 'unknown' incident once and for all; you will always have the opportunity to play the real-life version of the game in the future." God rolled his eyes in annoyance and kicked the writer on the butt, kicking him through the portal.

Back at Forrest Manor, Lin You reluctantly put aside his resentment about not being able to play the new game, and took up the power and status of Earl Goff again. He deployed people from both public and private sides to search for the whereabouts of Lucifer Morningstar in order to fulfill his promise with Charlotte.

Although he holds the "Key to Hell" in his hand and can contact the other party directly, he does not intend to do so; instead, he promotes the development of events in a "reasonable and logical" way.

The British intelligence agency, which had just emerged from the Cold War era, still maintained extremely high efficiency; there was no need for the agreed week, and only seventy-two hours later, the information about the whereabouts of Lucifer Morningstar was placed on Earl Goff's desk.

Who made this fallen angel who was absent from work so arrogant that he insisted on using such a unique name as "Lucifer" even in the human world? In the Western world where Christians are everywhere, it is impossible for him not to be noticed.

However, when Charlotte came to him, Lin You did not rush to hand over the information, but made a request: "When you go to find Lucifer, can you take someone with you?"

"who?"

"A person who is willing to sell his soul and ask Lucifer for help - maybe two." Lin You explained, "Dumbledore and Grindelwald, you have seen those two old wizards when you fought against the devil last time."
