“The chosen successor messed things up… I have to go check it out. I promise to be back before midnight.”

There was no reason for Hitzfeld to stop her. He reminded her to be careful on the road and watched her get on the car and leave.

Looking back again, Emily was reluctant to leave because she was having too much fun – she had recently learned how to play cards with Li Ang and others, and was addicted to the game.

“Just one! One more!”

It’s so frustrating. My usually well-behaved daughter has become stubborn. Oh…she’s entering the rebellious stage much faster than other children.

After thinking it over, he felt that since he was at Leon’s house anyway, and with the tree man couple and a group of friends looking after him, nothing would happen, so Hitzfeld sneaked out of the house while no one was paying attention.

She didn’t want to take a car, so she planned to walk back.

It has been a long time since I walked alone on the road and looked up at the night sky.

Although I still feel a little lost, the feeling is much weaker than at the beginning.

Relaxing his nerves and feeling relaxed for a rare time, Hitzfeld came to Iris Street with a happy attitude, entered the doorway and started climbing the stairs.

and many more……

When she was about to reach the corridor on the second floor, she suddenly stopped, lifted her skirt with her left hand and waved her right hand, aiming the white whale at the shadow.

“You came out on your own.”

“Or should I force you with this?”

Under the threat of the real guy, the figure in the shadows finally walked out tremblingly.

That’s a young man.

Young man.

He was wearing a plaid suit, and it was hard to tell the exact color because it was night. All we could tell was that he had very fair skin, a very young face, and under his tall hat was a head of curly brown hair like instant noodles.

“Oh!”

He raised his hands nervously.

“Sorry to scare you!”

“I have no ill intentions!”

“I just want to confirm something…”

“Yeah.”

Hitzfeld would not trust him so easily and insisted on clarifying: “So what do you want to confirm?”

You know, even though the evil spirits are gone, that doesn’t mean the world is free of turmoil.

The extraordinary still exists, but as long as the desires in people’s hearts are not extinguished, the disasters caused by that fire will continue in the world.

Why does Xia Yibing sometimes go on business trips?

She understands this principle better than anyone else.

But she never thought she would get such an answer——

“I want to confirm… Is this number… 221, Iris Street?”

The young man said tremblingly.

Seeing the “silver-haired girl” opposite him suddenly widen her eyes, he thought she didn’t believe him, and immediately added: “Really…! I am… I think I may have encountered some troubles… some big troubles that can’t be solved through normal channels! I asked many people for help but they were all helpless… Finally, the sheriff quietly pulled me aside! Told me… I could try my luck at this address!”

“But I’m not familiar with Wayne’s streets… It took me a lot of effort to find my way here…”

“I just want to see the house number clearly…”

“real……”

“I am not a bad guy!”

The man tried to open his eyes as sincerely as possible, hoping sincerely that the girl would believe his explanation.

“So.”

He heard her take a small breath.

“Mr. Borini…”

“Wait! How do you know who I am?”

The man interrupted her, his eyes widened in surprise.

“Because of the cane that was leaning against it—it had initials on it.”

“But it could also be ‘Berley’? Or ‘Perkinson’ and ‘Blue’?”

“This brings us to the information you leaked – the only person who could get this address from Rand-Ann is the last son of the Borini family.”

“You know each other?…Wait a minute? I didn’t say I got the address from Rand-Ann!”

I didn’t even reveal that I was from Blackwood?

How on earth did she guess that???

With his head in his hands, Mr. Borini thought he had seen a ghost!

“It’s a complicated explanation, I’d say we go in and sit by the fire – leave the door open – and have a cup of hot tea, and then finally talk about your ‘troubles’.”

“who are you!?”

Mr. Borini was stunned.

Watching the girl take out the key, open the door, and make an inviting gesture to him, no matter how slow he was, he guessed that the other party was the “savior” that Sheriff Rand hinted at.

“who am I?”

The girl in front of him was slightly startled, then she half-closed her eyes and raised the corners of her mouth slightly.

“The name is Hitzfeld.”

“Aisun.”

“Hitzfeld.”

Final unit summary

The Third Century is finished!

…which also means that “Detective Collection” has also come to an end.

Minus some odds and ends, the article is about 500 million words. To be honest, when I first started writing, I didn’t expect that I could write so much.

A long time ago, I did boast to my readers, saying… “I have read a lot of online articles, so I have more experience and I am somewhat confident that I can handle a long novel.” However, at that time, I expected the “long novel” to be 300 million words, and I never thought that I could write to the level of 500 million words.

I can only say that unit dramas are too deceptive in this regard!

Not only did he deceive the readers, he also deceived the author himself!

When I counted the chapters, there were already 18 of them, but the overall plot gave me a feeling that not much was written. I can only say, “OK, I roughly know why Conan has so many episodes.”

Let’s talk about the plot structure itself.

“The Third Hundred Years” is not only the concluding chapter, which basically resolves all the previous plot holes (such as why the heart is important, the truth about the collar and the keeper, the whereabouts of the Kingdom of the Sun God, the answer to the mystery of the White Shadow Palace, etc.), but also an explanation for the endings of many characters.

After all, the film uses the opening of One Hundred Years of Solitude, so it was destined from the beginning that it would not have a tragic ending. Readers who pay close attention to this aspect must be aware of this, so the controversy is basically focused on the previous generation protagonist Aimen.

Some people think that the ending I arranged for Aimen is not very good, and it seems that he is destined to live alone.

This worry is actually unnecessary, because on the one hand, the text explains that at least Zecharia will be with her, and on the other hand, it also says that “it takes time and luck to resurrect other lovers and children with blood crystals.”

So what does “takes time and luck” mean?

It can be understood as “death is not really confirmed.”

In other words, he may die or he may not die. Ah, it is possible that both may happen. This is actually something I am used to when I encounter controversial plots and I am hesitant about how to arrange them.

Some readers might say, “Ah, you are so bad, Ellie! Everyone wants a happy ending, but you insist on compromising here. Doesn’t that mean you want an unhappy ending?”

That’s not the case… I have to argue that it’s not the case!

I also like reunion. After all, there are so many hardships and everyone is so tired in reality, including myself. If I put myself in the readers’ shoes, I certainly would not like to encounter a book that preaches philosophy to me every day.

It’s very boring and unnecessary.

Simply because I am considering the few literary pursuits of this book, I think blurring the lines in these aspects may produce the best results.

It would be nice to have a reunion written out explicitly, and everyone would like it, but that would certainly make some of the plot seem overshadowed.

Here I have to mention another novel that I personally like very much, “The Count of Monte Cristo”. I forget the endings of many novels after reading them, but the endings of only two novels left a very deep impression on me and I will never forget them for the rest of my life.

One of them is “One Hundred Years of Solitude” and the other is “The Count of Monte Cristo”.

One Hundred Years of Solitude interprets the true meaning that remains after the passage of time.

Waiting and hoping illustrate the most beautiful wishes and prayers in life.

Whether ordinary or extraordinary, we will eventually have to face loneliness. This is a process of reconciliation with ourselves, which is not despair, but full of hope for life in my opinion.

Waiting in solitude.

Hope in solitude.

No matter what kind of torture and pain you encounter, you must persevere, believe that a turning point will come, and believe that the sun will rise.

If he doesn’t even possess such qualities, how can he have the nerve to be named “Sun King”?

The famous human stick inventor Kira-Yan Mo Dao once said, “Strength is not everything to me”! The same applies here.

That’s why I wanted to arrange it this way.

This includes the fact that Aisuen was stubborn in his ordinary days and always felt that he was out of tune with the new world. This was also deliberately contrasted with Aimen’s choice.

After all, she is just a young goddess. Although she has indeed grown a lot through hardships, “returning to ordinary” is the most difficult of all the test questions.

She couldn’t be as frank as Aimen, and even ignored the boundaries between gods and mortals.

But it doesn’t matter~

She is still young and has time to take things slow.

One day she will be able to do the same thing as Amen. In the undefined future, there will surely be many troubles waiting for the newly emerged names to solve. That name could be “Emily Hitzfeld”, “Anna Cornerell”, or it could be an unheard of, extremely unfamiliar name…

But just as every era has its own mark, the mark of this era can only be condensed into “Aisun Hitzfeld”.

If I go back, you should recite and remember this name.

……

Having said the above, the story of the little angel has come to an end. I will consider writing some expansion packs in the future…

Someone will definitely say here, “Aili, you seem to have mentioned this in your previous books but never wrote it down!” Here I want to continue to defend myself: That’s because I am too dedicated!

Why do I say that… Because the entire detective collection has 500 million words in length. From the beginning to the end of the book, I have received every monthly attendance award and all the half-year awards I could get. Excluding leave notes, it can be said that I have not stopped updating for more than two years.

This pace of updates is certainly not comparable to those tentacle monsters that write 20 to 30 words per month, but it is already quite impressive for a lazy person like me. Thinking about the plot and writing words every day takes up a lot of time, so naturally there is no time to do additional expansion for the finished book.

I can only say that I will try my best. Because if nothing unexpected happens, the new book will be released to everyone after a short break. That will be a new journey and a new challenge for me. With the mentality of being responsible to my readers, I will definitely focus my main energy on writing the new book.

As for the genre of the new book…

In the skyscraper, in the steel forest, standing at the gate of the Kendo martial arts hall is a cold and pretty sister… I wonder if you like her or not~

The break time may be as short as one week or as long as two weeks. Let me check some Taoist and Buddhist scriptures and try to see you all as soon as possible~

Wish everything is well.
