In the end, Cheng Yu didn't get up to make breakfast for Xia Huaijin. When the two woke up, it was almost noon. Cheng Yu got up and went to the kitchen to look around. There was really nothing in the refrigerator for her to use her cooking skills, so she just
I suggested going out to buy groceries.
Xia Huaijin looked at the time and saw that it was almost eleven o'clock. He went out to buy groceries and then came back to cook. He was tired, hungry and distressed, so he made a decisive call and asked the restaurant to deliver the food.
"I'll buy groceries in the afternoon." Xia Huaijin said.
Cheng Yu had no objection. Taking advantage of the time, she took out the horror novel and planned to use Xia Huaijin's courage to read it. It was too scary to read it alone.
Xia Huaijin glanced at the title of the book, "The Seventh Space". The title didn't sound like a horror novel. He leaned over and asked, "What ghost story is this about?"
"It's not a ghost story." Cheng Yu corrected: "It's a horror story."
"Is there a difference?" Xia Huaijin asked.
"The biggest difference is that there must be ghosts in ghost stories, but there may not necessarily be ghosts in horror stories," Cheng Yu said.
Xia Huaijin didn't understand what he heard: "Give me an example."
Cheng Yu gave him an example: "For example, the male protagonist Benjamin in this book accidentally entered the seventh space. The time in this space is the future tense. That is, when Benjamin was still living today in the real world, the seventh space
Tomorrow has already happened. He can see what will happen tomorrow in this space. He can know in advance who will die tomorrow and who will get rich tomorrow.
The story begins with him entering the seventh space and seeing that there will be a plane crash tomorrow and his fiancée will also die in the plane crash. Of course he will prevent his fiancée from boarding the plane, and he successfully prevents it, but on the way home from the airport
, their car had a car accident, the car was hit very seriously, his fiancee was thrown out, fell off the sea bridge and drowned, but he was fine at all.
During the investigation, the police suspected that he had deliberately murdered his fiancée. He told the police about the seventh dimension. The police suspected that he was mentally ill and sent him to a mental hospital.
Benjamin once doubted whether he was really mentally ill, until he discovered the secret of the mental hospital. It turned out that the people imprisoned here said that they had entered the seventh space before entering, and, like him, were suspected of deliberate murder.
Later, I talked about the seventh space and was judged to be mentally ill and was imprisoned. Isn’t that scary? Isn’t it terrifying if you think about it carefully?”
Xia Huaijin:......
He wanted to say that he really didn't hear anything scary. According to his logic, this was obviously a conspiracy against Benjamin. Next, Benjamin would definitely investigate the connection between other people and himself to find the truth of the matter.
The maze of stories and the terrifying atmosphere created in the early stage are all paving the way for the subsequent reversal.
You can guess the plot without even looking at him. Before the truth comes out, he will definitely write some horrific events surrounding the mental hospital.
Xia Huaijin told Cheng Yu this, and Cheng Yu was stunned and said: "How do you know the plot behind it? Have you seen it?"
"I can think with my toes and write this." Xia Huaijin clicked the book in her hand: "To put it bluntly, it is a conspiracy cloaked in terror. The big boss may be the director of the mental hospital, Benjamin and others.
Of course I have a grudge against this dean. The so-called seventh space is just a way for the dean to bring these people together.
They will die one after another. In this process, the author will push the horror to the highest point, making others think that unknown things are killing people, but in fact, the murderers are always the boss behind the scenes. Doesn't it make it less scary?
?”
Cheng Yu:……
A horror story is suddenly analyzed into a crime-solving novel by you. Are you Sherlock Holmes?
However, following Xia Huaijin's train of thought and looking back at the chapters she had read, it seemed that there were indeed foreshadowings buried between the lines. When she read those foreshadowings, she did not read them carefully because she was afraid. Now that she thought about them, she realized that it was really what Xia Huaijin said.
It's just that the big boss is not the dean, but the doctor.
