When you stare into the abyss, the abyss stares into you

As a debut novel, it is indeed very amazing, cheating and cheating, and people can't help but clapp their hands in amazement. The heroine was summoned to kill because of greed, and the hero became a knife in the hands of others because of empty curiosity. As the saying goes, "When you stare at the abyss, the abyss is staring at you", you think you are following others, but you don't know that you are the one being followed, you think you are deceiving others, but you are deceived people. The male protagonist didn't realize until the last moment that he was already a pawn chosen and used by others, and it was not until the last moment that he realized that he not only caused trouble, but fell into the abyss and never turned around. Possibly, the heroine didn't know until the last moment that she was not a hunter but a prey, and she didn't know until the last moment that she was not a teammate but an enemy. So this story tells us that curiosity killed the cat, don’t follow others blindly if you have nothing to do, and you must have a heart to prevent others.

In addition: 1. I think there is a loophole that I have to say, which is the problem of time difference. The male protagonist went to steal money at night and injured the bar guard, while the female protagonist went to the female protagonist after the male protagonist returned home. And he died after leaving the heroine's house. According to the dialogue between the heroine and Ke Bu, it was learned that Ke Bu had obtained the money that the hero handed over when he surrendered and then went to the heroine. Two hours later, it is very likely that the second day has passed since Ke Bu killed the heroine, so the police statement that the hero killed the heroine to get the password and then went to the bar to steal money and injured the guard is not valid.

2. Nolan seems to be very obsessed with his unique stylized narrative method, disrupting and rearranging the timeline, and using it in his movies over and over again, but some things will be amazing the first time, and will be very surprising the second time. Wonderful, the third time will feel very good, but by the fourth and fifth time, people will think: Can't tell a good story in a normal way, is it too formal?
