Chapter 390 Now that you are here, let's help with something

"You can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want." Lin You said seriously, "How did I break the law? Which law did I break? As a law enforcer, I have the final say on who breaks the law and who doesn't."

The accountant was stunned, unable to tell whether the writer was mocking him or asking a sincere question. He was filled with doubts and resentment: If it is not illegal to create the "unknown" at will, why did the supreme gods behind you send you into the time restricted area? Why did you take the risk to fight against several true gods alone?
As if he had heard the accountant's question, Lin You added slowly: "The gods have never rejected the occurrence of 'unknown' events. On the contrary, they all clearly know the role of the 'unknown' in promoting the stability of the world. However, the gods hope to maintain stability while promoting stability. Not only the stability of the worldview logic, but also the stability of the internal checks and balances of the gods."

The accountant's tone became strange: "You mean, 'Unknown' can do it, but it must get your consent in advance. Only with your consent is it legal, and without your consent is it illegal?"

"Although I can't say it so bluntly, it's true." Lin You looked at him with a meaningful look in his eyes, "From your tone, are you speaking up for the Norse pantheon?"

The accountant was horrified. While secretly reflecting on his own gaffe, he controlled his expression and tone and remained calm. "It's not my place to speak up for the injustice. I won't be so presumptuous. At most, I just feel that they are a little pathetic."

"Is it sad? Maybe a little; but from my point of view, I cannot sympathize with them. As you said, I am the 'law enforcer' and it is me who judged that they broke the law." Perhaps because he did not see any clues, the writer looked away as if nothing had happened.

“What are you going to do next?” Hela, disguised as an accountant, was eager to change the subject. Although this proactive and enthusiastic tone was greatly contrary to the nature of the female Grim Reaper, she had to bite the bullet and pretend to be like this at this moment.

"Wait and observe." Lin You looked at the direction where Arthur and Charles were going. Although they were far apart, distance did not hinder the sight of God. "If the original story was followed, it would take more time for the fragments of consciousness in those people to be exposed. The whole process might take several months. Now that the plot has been completely changed, this process might be much faster."

From the information obtained from previous observations of John Marston, only those characters who personally experienced key changes in the plot would reveal fragments of consciousness in their souls; according to this reasoning, it would take several months to wait for the key plots that affect the fate of the characters to occur one by one.

For example, the kidnapping of Little Jack and the St. Denis bank robbery.

However, Lin You didn't have such good patience, and he didn't have much confidence in his cooperation with Patrick, and didn't think that this "temporary cooperation agreement" could last for a few months. So, he took a quick and decisive approach.

Since the exposure of the consciousness fragments was triggered by the change of fate, it would be better to change the plot directly, which is equivalent to changing the fate of all members of the Van der Linde gang at once; at the same time, it also indirectly changed the fate of those who would have dealt with the Van gang.

This kind of "big move" can only be done by the writer. If someone else does it, it would be considered "illegal".

“You seem to really enjoy the thrill of manipulating people’s fate?” When the accountant blurted out, Hela under the “Painted Skin” suddenly realized that she had made another mistake; a “wild god” who trembled in fear before a true god should not behave so frivolously.

Fortunately, the writer did not notice anything unusual. He seemed to be immersed in a certain emotion, or perhaps he was reflecting on himself after being reminded. "Maybe you are right. Power is the most delicious poison."

The accountant didn't dare to say anything more and just listened silently, letting the other party immerse in his emotions; however, this emotion came and went quickly, and Lin You quickly remembered the business.

"You haven't answered my question yet. What are you doing here?"

"I heard about your cooperation with the God of Truth." The accountant carefully considered his words and observed the writer's expression as he spoke. "I think, since this happened in the story of Red Dead Redemption..."

Lin You interrupted the other party and asked with a sneer: "Do you think you have a chance to contribute to this matter, and perhaps make me forget the fact that you are playing several games and repeatedly making mistakes between several true gods?" The accountant immediately kept silent, making himself appear more in line with the image of a timid and dilemma-ridden "wild god".

"Before that, let me ask you a question." Lin You was not in a hurry to express his attitude. "When Loki tampered with these people, you must have noticed it. Can you directly find those who have hidden the fragments of consciousness, so as to save me the trouble?"

The accountant shook his head in embarrassment. "At the time, I only realized that there was a divine power covering the characters in the story on a large scale. But this power came and went quickly. It disappeared before I could react. In fact, after I recognized the source of this power, I didn't dare to really react."

"Then you could at least tell me instead of keeping silent." Lin You reproached.

"You asked me to report all the clues that would lead to the change of the characters' fates, but Loki's actions did not directly lead to the change of fates. I thought at the time that 'He' had not taken any substantial actions, or that they were just preliminary preparations, so I wanted to wait and see."

Lin You exposed the other party's true thoughts: "In simple terms, it's just a fluke mentality, right?"

The accountant sighed and did not deny it.

"Forget it, let's not talk about the past." The writer was unexpectedly generous. "Since you're here, why don't you help? Now that Loki has been controlled, you don't plan to stay on his ship and not get off, do you? The only two ships in front of you are mine and Patrick Morgan's."

"You want me to be completely on board with you?" the accountant asked.

"can you do it?"

The accountant's face darkened and he hesitated to speak.

Lin You sneered: "Don't say or ask about things you can't do. You are lucky. At least His and I can sail side by side for now. You don't have to worry about falling off if you stand on both sides."

The accountant's face became increasingly gloomy, and he asked in a muffled voice, "What do you want me to do?"

"Go check all the characters related to the story of Red Dead Redemption." Lin You waved his hand. "The main plot of the story has changed significantly, and the changes in the fate of the characters will gradually become apparent. I will personally keep an eye on the Van der Linde gang here, and you can help me run errands and keep an eye on the other characters in the story. If you find fragments of consciousness emerging, tell me immediately."

"Is it that simple? No problem then." The accountant seemed eager to restore his image in Lin You's heart.

But the writer suddenly added: "Of course, if you choose to hide it from me and report it to the captain of the other ship, that's up to you."
