In 2143, a clone died on a bridge in Newcastle-upon-Tyne. Apart from the fact that the man is a scion of the wealthy North family, the police have no knowledge of this man's identity. What is strange is that the North family, which uses cloning technology to reproduce their descendants, has not discovered that the person is missing, and the murderer has no trace. The only entry point is that the scar on the heart of the corpse, which looks like it was cut by a knife blade, is exactly the same as the brutal murder method used in the massacre that broke the peaceful life of Saint Libra twenty years ago. However, the murderer at that time, the mysterious girl Angela, never left the prison even half a step during these years... Are there really aliens on the Holy Libra planet that does not even have insects?

As soon as Gogol's "Dead Souls" came out, it immediately aroused heated debate. It used seemingly absurd stories to show the social scene of Russia at that time. Herzen and Belinsky both gave "Dead Souls" high praise and were hailed as the founders of the Natural School. The historical background of this story is: Russia relied on armed serfs to defeat Napoleon. After these serfs returned to Paris, they were naturally dissatisfied with their status as slaves, so Arakcheev organized the state-owned serfs into military camps to control them, while ordinary farmers took desperate risks and occupied the mountains to become kings. The author said that this was "a path that the Russians are accustomed to taking." The success of "Dead Souls" lies in gathering five landowners into a satirical model and pushing them to the judgment stand of history.

It is a story about how one can be invincible only by being more shameless and tougher! ======================================================== Robbery... Li Ge looked at the rags on his body and stabbed the other person in the head with his gun: "Hand over all the valuables on you and take off your clothes..." "You, what do you want to do..." The man's voice trembled slightly, and a series of bad images flashed through his mind. "Don't give me ink stains. Do you want to take it off or not? Little monkey, come on!" "You, don't come over here, I, I will take off..." After the other person finished taking off his clothes: "You, take off his clothes..." ... After a long time, looking at the two overlapping bodies, the little monkey finally felt the evil of his master, and at the same time he said: "Master, I... I think it would be easier for us to be robbers than tomb robbers." Tomb robbing... "Damn it, Li Ge, get out of here..." The roar shook the sky, the earth shook and the mountains shook, and the birds frightened and the rats scurried. "Master, why are you looking for me?" Li Ge poked his head out of the cave and shook the dust off his body. "Have you been to Houshan?" "Yes." Li Ge nodded obediently as he looked at the master with smoke rising from his head and a livid face. "You dare to dig my ancestor's grave, and you dare to steal it! You traitor..." Taoist Lingbao looked at the only disciple in front of him, and his intestines turned green with regret. "Master, I am looking for my own way, and thieves also have their own ways. How can you enter Baoshan and come back empty-handed!" Li Ge replied with a serious look on his face. "You, you, you... I'm going to be so mad at you that I..." "Master, I'm good at digging holes!" ... Save people... Li Ge glanced at the group of extremely arrogant magicians in front of him who claimed to be righteous, and then looked at the guy at his feet who was beaten until he vomited two liters of blood but still wanted to tell him to leave quickly. He sighed softly and squatted down: "Talk about money and it hurts your feelings. If you don't talk about money, I'll be sad. How about you show your kindness and I'll save you?" "Stop joking, you... Run away..." The man fainted due to Li Ge's words and said with great effort. "Li Ge, look where you're going this time, you actually robbed a tomb and robbed our religion..." "It's just a useless body, kill him." ... Seeing that the people on the ground had passed out, Li Ge stood up slowly facing the crowd in front of him who were shouting and killing. There was no trace of joking in his eyes: "There are orders of learning, and there are specialties in the arts. Thieves can't distinguish between you and me. If you run away, why should I run away!" Healing... Li Ge raised his eyebrows and looked at the man in front of him who was as beautiful as an immortal, and asked calmly: "Are you sure you want to heal my wounds?" The man's eyes moved slightly and he said softly: "I am your master..." Li Ge asked uncertainly: "Are you sure you want to heal your wounds in this medicine pool?" The man frowned slightly and said impatiently: "I am your master..." Li Ge took a deep breath: "Are you sure you want to strip naked together in this medicine pool to heal my wounds?" The man said nothing, stretched out his hand, took off his clothes and entered the medicine pool. His dark eyes stared at Li Ge who was standing by the pool, and said majestically: "I am your master!" ...

There may be several obvious paradoxes in the current common views or basic judgments about novel writing. For example, on the one hand, we believe that there is an irreversible crisis in novels. Both critics and general readers are generally dissatisfied with the creation of novels. However, at different conferences, almost everyone unanimously affirmed the specific works. So, which statement is our honest experience, and which judgment is more in line with the truth of current novel creation. We believe that the writing skills of novels are becoming more and more mature, because the creation of modern Chinese novels has a history of nearly a hundred years and has accumulated considerable experience. Even if it is a little-known writer, his novels are also quite mature in technique. However, the maturity of technique has not brought about a change in the reputation or destiny of the novel. There are endless criticisms about the lack of spirit or thought in the novel.
