Chapter 352 The Great Codeword Dog

"So you are not a devil, but a damn profiteer."

After hanging up the phone and pushing open his door, Arthur Jackman muttered in a low voice.

Seeing him come back, Mina, who was originally worried, breathed a sigh of relief. After hearing this, she couldn't help but burst into laughter and said, "Devil? If according to myths and legends, isn't every devil a qualified profiteer?"

"Uh...well, you're right."

Arthur Jackman was stunned for a moment.

It seems that this is really fine. It’s a devil. In myths and legends, people always deceive people to sign contracts to deceive the soul, deceive, lure, and play with people’s hearts. They are all basic qualities.

"Okay, now you should go to rest."

Putting the irrelevant thought of "Is Jigsaw a Devil" behind you, Arthur Jackman comforted him and drove Mina back to the bedroom: "Don't worry, the matter is over, I just answered a call from a friend."

"Then you have to promise that you are still there when I wake up."

Mina did not have much rest these days and obediently lay back on the bed, but before going to bed, she still stared at Arthur Jackman, as if she was afraid that the other party would disappear again as soon as she woke up.

"Of course, I don't go there, I just write in the living room, and you will see me the first time you get up."

Arthur Jackman comforted softly, leaned over Mina's forehead with a smile and kissed her gently, then turned around and left the bedroom, and closed the door.

When he returned to the living room, he habitually lay on the white sofa in the center of the living room with his tablet and began to check out the outline of the book that the jigsaw sent to him.

"It's just an outline. I don't know if you have to write tens of thousands of words in a word, but you still have to score 50,000 points. It's just a terrible feeling."

While opening the received document, Arthur Jackman muttered.

There seems to be more than one outline for Jigsaw transmission, and there is also a document marked with the key points. When you open it, it seems to be a certain noun explanation.

"Travel through time and space to reach another world?"

"Rebirth? Traveling through time and returning to the past? Taking the lead with memory?"

"Golden Finger? A special ability given by mysterious power during the journey? Why is it called Gold Finger instead of Gold Toe?"

"System? Like games? Superpowers?"

Open the document of the explanation of the term and read it. Arthur Jackman, who was originally skeptical of the literary level of Jigsaw, his eyes lit up.

They are all vocabulary and concepts in the online literature of Tianchao, but they seem very novel to him. After reading the explanation, he felt like he had a big brain. A few words made a lot of new works appear in his mind.

Unfortunately, these inspirations seem hazy and unsystematic. It may take a lot of time and energy to improve the concept.

However, this also made him look forward to the outline of Jigsaw, and he couldn't wait to click on several other outline documents to read.

Time always passes quickly when immersed in a state of concentration. Before he knew it, two full hours passed. He read the documents one by one without interruption, and the excitement and surprise on his face became more and more intense.

"As it really is a devil..."

After reading the last paragraph, Arthur Jackman breathed a sigh of relief and calmed down.

The documents given to him by Jigsaw are said to be outlines, but these outlines are very detailed. Apart from being a little messy and vague, it is not an exaggeration to call them a detailed outline.

Moreover, the outline of these works is different from any subject matter and literary type he has seen, and is completely different from the current mainstream literary style.

It is not a tragic epic of gorgeous words that are urging in tears, nor is it an inspiring hero birth. It does not have too much deep thinking, no metaphor and satire, and even does not pay much attention to details and writing techniques.

But surprisingly, even if it was just some very simple plots, he had a special charm like magic after fantasizing and simulating in his mind, which made him unconsciously intoxicated.

Although I didn't leave too many meaningful philosophical thoughts after reading them, and I couldn't even remember the plot clearly, the feeling of surging and refreshing when reading them was lingering in my mind for a long time.

The plots in the outline seem to be all specially constructed by Jigsaw for human emotions and six desires. Through preparation and even suggestion, the readers' desires and regrets are guided, and finally the catharsis is completed.

Reading a book is like experiencing a brand new life, and it is also a perfect life with ups and downs without any regrets.

Playing with people's hearts is indeed the area that the devil is best at.

"This type of work is definitely more popular among ordinary people than the so-called literary classics. It takes experience and literary background to appreciate the classics, but this type of work has no threshold, but it can bring people a satisfaction that is difficult to reach on weekdays..."

He was not stupid, and naturally saw the value of these outlines at this time.

No matter how classics are, the audience is limited, but this special work that targets people's desires and vents negative emotions to satisfy people can be sought after on a large scale, and even ignores national boundaries and sweeps the world.

The benefits contained in this are unimaginable. He felt that he was at a loss when he had divided the money by 50% but now it seems that he has taken a big advantage.

A wide audience means best-selling, and the royalties and various derivative benefits brought by it will be astronomical. In addition to money, there is also fame. Even if someone follows the trend and imitates it, as the first creator to lead the trend, he can become a world-class famous writer who once envies and longs for.

"With such a high value, why did Jigsaw share half of my income just because of the ghostwriter, and even abandon the reputation of the creator..."

While enjoying the future, Arthur Jackman, who had transformed a lot, was not lost in his mind. His heart sank and frowned in worry and began to ponder.

Could it be that the jigsaw didn't see the value in it?

This is obviously impossible. Even I can imagine that Jigsaw, who is a real pioneer of such works and also has a very understanding of the human heart, cannot imagine this.

And if it is as Jigsaw said before, it is obviously illogical to make money as the construction funds for the secret room.

Who may think that money is too much? If Jigsaw lacks funds and comes to you for money, then when you cooperate, you will definitely explain the value clearly and propose a higher share ratio. You have no room for resistance, and you will also be happy to cooperate after understanding the value.

"Unless Jigsaw doesn't seek fame and doesn't care about money at all, the so-called lack of funds for building secret rooms is just an excuse..."

Arthur Jackman frowned even deeper.

Although I am not too afraid of Jigsaw and even a little bit of inexplicable gratitude, it is impossible to say that I don’t have a trace of fear in my heart for such a high-IQ outlaw who is good at playing with people’s hearts.

This is a devil living in the world.

And now this devil has handed him a sweet and seductive cake with unknown purpose.

No one knows whether it is a real gift or a poison hidden under the sweet appearance. After taking the cake, he may face heaven or abyss of hell.

"Playing with people's hearts...hinting... guiding emotions..."

“Guide emotions…”

"mood……"

Arthur Jackman, who had been meditating for a long time and recalling all the things and details over and over again, chewing on a few keywords. Suddenly, an inspiration flashed in his mind, and all the details were integrated under this ray of inspiration.

"Yes."

"From the appearance of the jigsaw, all the secret rooms made are to guide others to develop in a better way. This is his ultimate goal or starting point, but the people that the secret rooms can affect are limited after all..."

"And this kind of special difference that is easy to popularize is to guide and suggest, vent negative emotions and make people satisfied, which is equivalent to guiding people's hearts in disguise."

"Negative factors such as desire, pressure, indignation, etc. are all satisfied and released in the illusion. This is equivalent to hypnotic psychological treatment for a large number of readers. The possibility of criminal acts in reality will be greatly reduced..."

A logically self-consistent ‘reasonable’ explanation is generated in Arthur Jackman’s mind.

It's very reasonable, but it also makes him feel a little inconsistent and ridiculous.

He walked around anxiously and then started to talk to himself incoherently.

"Shit, I thought you were a devil, but you told me now that you were an angel? No, no, even an angel is a fallen angel like Lucifer..."
