當落下最後一筆,寫下TheEnd,我的感想頗多。此文在做預稿時,前五十章最早發佈在臉書上,隨後分別被各種網站轉載。由於我從不寫大綱,大綱這類東西只會將自己框死,往往寫到最後,將與最初的架構完全是兩回事。因此,我的頭腦中,只有一個開始,以及一個終局。至於各種副本情節,全憑個人情緒所決定。

儘管,這是一本沒有主角的小說,書中所有人都是主角。但黃金之骰此書的主角,當仁不讓屬於林銳,也就是呂庫古小姐,其身份是一位出身於意大利南部拿不勒斯的華裔。所以我覺得這大概也能算是中國人的故事吧,故而選擇發佈在中文平台。

鑒於各種遺憾,無法與平台簽約,所以我深知它不會被許多人看見,但依舊傾注全部心力去儘可能完善它,甚至為它畫插畫填音樂。只因我便是小說里常提到的那種人-無欲之人。

Undesirer,顧名思義,便是沒有慾望之人,對什麼都毫無興趣,既不追求金錢也不追求名望,只愛做自己喜歡之事。在這種奇怪動力促使下,我覺得寫完她將會特別有趣。

隨着章節不斷增多,各國各地的轉載也很多,(當然我全都不在乎。)分別被分類進科幻靈異、靈異鬼故事、愛情、偵探、都市言情、其他類型,未分類,甚至還有歸類在腐文、純愛小說、女生小說之中的。我正如自己創造的呂庫古小姐那樣,時常暗暗偷笑。其實沒有那麼複雜,這本小說就是全類型小說,各種題材都涉及到,歸根納底所想表達的含義就幾個:珍惜當下,珍惜每一個與你萍水相逢之人,縱然你再普通,只要滿懷赤誠,那麼你將由一個人變為兩個人,兩個人變為四個人,四個再變八個,無窮無盡,便是如此。

在寫此書時,我被問到最多的問題是,你正傳也只寫到第三部開頭,幹嘛調轉回去寫前傳?其實,這恰恰是寫第三部書時所遇見的苦惱。因為亡者之路所講述的,是一個時空與遺憾的龐大故事,正傳中林銳與Alex是以舊友重逢開始故事起源的,而對他們如何相識,以及最初的十年卻隻字未提。因此,第三部將會牽涉進大量前傳人物,與其每一個都做相應介紹,都解釋一遍由來,會顯得縮手縮腳,看的人也會雲裏霧裏。因此,才決定返過頭去寫前傳,另開新的系列。如此一來,便可完美詮釋正傳第一部的開頭種種懸念。

有時無聊,或者蹲廁所,我會去翻翻書,但大致看的都是古籍文史類,基本保持着很少讀書這個習慣。如果看太多,容易受別人影響,這樣便會缺乏主見,跟着就無法創新,最終繪製不了原汁原味屬於自己的東西。總之,還是看了一些,大致發現一個特徵。

那就是書中的主角,所追求的都是越來越強,我難以理解,這樣豈不是會很累嗎?人的成長過程,必然如同一個社會,從最初到鼎盛,再從鼎盛到衰敗,生命莫不如此。所以,我產生了一個靈感。

為什麼就不能寫一本,主角越來越弱的小說?或者主角自開場就屬於鼎盛期,黃金期,隨後因各種原因變得越來越弱。而對手卻呈幾何級別越來越強,那樣不知會不會很有趣呢?

與別人不同,我很適合寫這類懸念驚悚題材,而且越寫思路越廣。黃金之骰早已與我最初的設定產生了天壤地別,儘管結局仍是一樣,但多了許多新人物與可歌可泣的悲壯。呂庫古小姐雖然是個傾國傾城的大美女,但絕不柔弱,或者說她是個渾身充滿血腥的女人更為合適。我想,每個人,特別是男孩們,心中都會有一個自我擬定的完美戀人,她只存在於夢想,卻與真實相距甚遠。由此,她便是這麼產生的,甚至在初稿中,我並未計算過這麼個人物。

而當進入雷音瓮篇,我自己陷入了絕望,這兩廂選擇我究竟該讓誰活下來?到底是小蒼蘭,還是呂庫古小姐?為此我發過投票,結果大多數都希望還是交由作者自己決定為好。

原本我是計劃每部書大約寫一百二十章完結,因為黃金之骰是第一部書,所以為了定格調和講述完整,我的完稿是寫到了一百四十章。但很明顯,之後還是超越了十章。其實這部分內容,完全就是第二部書的開始,但也無妨了。

由着這個終章,其實已經指明了第二部書秘銀紋章(暫定名水晶銀湖鎮或者謝菲爾娜鬼鎮)的走向。理論上講,已經被一些特別聰明的網友猜到將會怎麼演。但我仍將做些嘗試,會令你們很失望。對不起,我特別在乎網友們毒辣的眼光。通常讀懸疑驚悚題材的人,腦子都特別好使,儘管不少人會說,咱就是無聊圖個樂什麼的,但萬一有十分較真的網友呢?萬一有那種特別愛挑刺,會前後對照找紕漏的認真之人呢?因此,決不可鬆懈。

打拿起筆開始這個新的系列,不知不覺已過了一年,雖然故事只發生在四天之內,卻耗費了網友極大耐心,本人深感遺憾。我儘可能做到所挖的所有坑,都在一本書內填完,如此也算我巧設心機,更是對人們的負責。寫書不易,枯燥辛勞,需要每天去見見陽光,與自然打個招呼。這個故事將很長,也許會陪伴你十年甚至更久,我也希望書中人物能成為大家的朋友,一起成長,一起去面對困苦艱難。

那麼,呂庫古公館的迷霧已徹底揭曉,下一回,就讓我們進入更大的空間,前往斯蒂文.金,洛夫克拉夫特的故鄉緬因州,一起去揭開美國四大鬼宅排名第二的肖恩.費歐娜的故鄉,水晶銀湖鎮,一座不是因為資源挖完,水利改道,交通不便等諸多原因,而完完全全因為鬧鬼而早在1973年便被荒棄的小鎮。

屆時將有更多新人物登場,已知的蜜蜂和蜂鳥,彌利耶,自由憲兵,世界之子,善良公羊,聖維塔萊等等,暗世界與泛世界以及極暗世界的血腥鬥爭也將更加殘酷。

來吧,我的朋友們,整裝待發,讓我們前往下一站,緬因州!
