Chapter 35: Transactions and Returns
"Kill the heroine? Are you crazy? Kill a plot character but you have to deduct 5,000 reward points!" Zhang Jie did not react and subconsciously retorted.
"This is why the Lord God gave us the task..." Yang Yun said half-heartedly and half-sighedly: "In the mind of ordinary people, they will consider how to save the protagonist or the character in the plot, but they did not expect that the more they were involved, the deeper they were trapped and the more they were rejected by Gaia. If they had no certain strength, it was no different from suicide."
"I said just now that our enemy is not Gaia, but history. The reason why Death wants to kill us is because we destroyed his plan, that is, the history that is about to happen in this plane. Death makes this time function collapse into the original one in order to turn the future that has deviated from the track and kill people according to the predetermined plan."
"In other words... these characters in the plot must not only die, but must also die according to the death method designed by the God of Death?" Zhang Jie said with some insight.
"No, it's not. They just need to 'dead'. As for how they die, they are just small things. But no matter how they change, there is one thing that is certain, perhaps universal... Whether it is a TV series, a book, a movie, or a game, there are so-called 'protagonists', that is, creatures that run through the entire maker and have invincible luck and opportunities in it." Yang Yun said.
"The God of Death is also a movie. Since it is a movie, there must be a protagonist. In most novel movies, no matter what kind of bloody harm the protagonist is, he can always survive in various incredible ways for the plot development. You see, the heroine of the second middle school, drove into the lake at the end of the film, escaped the God of Death with another man, and did not die in this movie?"
"But she died shortly after the second ended in the death, and she still couldn't escape the curse of death." Zhang Jie said.
"That's right, because she is no longer the 'protagonist'..." Yang Yun sneered, "If a 'protagonist' dies, it means that the plot no longer needs him."
"In the movie "God of Death" 2, Kimberly is indeed the heroine, so she did not die in "God of Death" 2. But in "God of Death" 3, the protagonist was replaced by Wendy, the female high school student, so in the newspaper of a beggar, we saw her and another man died in an accident... Now, don't you understand?"
"If the protagonist does not die and is no longer the 'protagonist', he can die..." Zhang Jie murmured.
"That's it. The protagonist does not die, at least he cannot die before the end of the film. This is the key point of the breakthrough of the God of Death."
"For example, this is the original plot of the God of Death."
Yang Yun took a stone from his side and drew a circle on the ground.
"This circle is the original plan of the God of Death to kill people. The order and method of killing may not be important, but no matter who starts killing from or what method to start killing, the heroine will eventually be left behind. This is one of the points."
Yang Yun dug a small hole with a stone on the circle, and then dug another hole outside the circle.
"This is what we members of the Reincarnation Squad are, the same point, but not in the circle, but outside the circle. What will lead to between the two points?"
"Line?" Zhang Jie said tentatively.
"Bingo." Yang Yun snapped his fingers, "Now due to our influence, the fate of the characters in the plot has gradually deviated from their tracks, just like the so-called butterfly effect, but these situations are still within the control of the god of death, and at best, the original circle has turned into an ellipse."
"But if we successfully contact the heroine and do something that can affect the future, then the point that represents us will be connected to the point that represents the heroine and become a line. By then, the circle will no longer be a circle."
"Is the circle no longer a circle..." Zhang Jie stared at the circle and the two dots thoughtfully and said.
"Don't you understand yet? For those who are not members of the Reincarnation Squad, to change the solidified history, you have to face the countercurrent of history and die from various accidents, such as the storyline characters in the world of death. However, the members of the Reincarnation Squad are not in this world, and they are not involved in cause and effect. If they need to change history, in addition to the countercurrent of history, they have to face the more terrifying things, the general trend of history!"
"Yes, all history needs is the general trend, not to be fixed on many years, months, days, and minutes, or any method to kill someone. It only needs to ensure that the most basic 'the heroine is not dead'..."
Yang Yun's eyes flashed with confidence, and he drew a line between the two points.
"Think of the other person, the purpose of death is completely opposite to ours. Then the more death does not want us to do things, the more we have to do; the more death wants to turn history back to the right track, the more we have to let history go to another fork..."
"So, the more the God of Death wants the heroine to survive, the more we want the heroine to die!"
"This is the foundation of the historical trend!"

"How? Are you interested in making a deal with me now?"
When Yang Yun said this, Death knew that the hateful boy in front of him had seen through everything.
He can indeed kill Yang Yun now, but accordingly, Zhang Jie will also kill Kimberly, and what follows is the change of the entire history.
"...Okay, you won, let me tell you what the deal is." Death sighed and said.
Death is afraid to bet, and those who are barefoot are not afraid of wearing shoes. Yang Yun is not willing to die. Even if Death punches Yang Yun into two small cakes, he still has to pay for Kimberly's death, which is not a fun thing.
"It's nothing. I just want you not to make things difficult for my partner and his lover in the future, that's all." Yang Yun said with a smile.
"That's it? No other request?" Death said in disbelief.
"That's it." Yang Yun replied affirmatively.
"...Okay, I believe you." The god of death stared at Yang Yun for a long time before agreeing.
"So, the deal was established." Yang Yun's face still had a faint smile: "I'm leaving this world in less than two hours and returning to my own world, so you don't have to worry about me coming to disturb you in the future."
"I hope so." Hearing this news, the God of Death finally breathed a sigh of relief.
After this conversation, Yang Yun and the God of Death never spoke again. It was not until twelve o'clock that the God of Death muttered in a low voice: "I will never want to see you again in the future."
"Is it because I'm the only human who lied to you twice?"
But before Yang Yun could say this, a half-dream and half-awake feeling enveloped him...
