Yang Shuangshuang saw such a picture in a painting called "Children in the Seclusion of Mankind" - in an old house, the family is sitting in the house, and the father is reading the "Biography", everyone seems pious, but one face is full of ridicule from the netherworld.

The mocking boy was supposed to be the eldest son of the family, but his essence was the same kind of filthy things.

Shi Guangnan seemed to feel the creepiness that Yang Shuangshuang felt from the two paintings, but he was still unsure, so he asked Tang Shuang on the phone: "Is there some kind of connection between these two paintings?"

Tang Shuang smiled, as if she wanted to use a brisk laugh to relieve Shi Guangnan's nervousness.

Although he didn't see her in person, he could guess from the tone on the phone that she was probably nervous.

"You should have guessed, yes, that's what you had in mind. ”

Tang Shuang seemed to hear Shi Guangnan's sigh, and then listened to her say: ""Class" is about the story of human children who were raised by those demons and finally evolved into demons, while "Children in Seclusion in Humans" tells the story of demon children being fostered in human families, right?"

Tang Shuang: "Yes, in nature, this kind of behavior is not strange, such as cuckoo birds, they have a behavior called incubation parasitism, that is, to use tricks to let another creature raise their children for them......"

Shi Guangnan interrupted him and said, "So the demon puts his cub in the cradle of the human race and swaps it with the human baby, so what will the demon cub in the human race become when he grows up?"

Tang Shuang: "Isn't it already very clear in the story, the demon cub in "The Child Who Lives in Seclusion", its face is the same as Guo Zifeng. ”

Shi Guangnan thought for a moment and said creepyly: "They are learning from humans! That's why they foster their cubs into human families." ”

Tang Shuang: "At the same time, it is also assimilating human babies." ”

In the story, Yang Shuangshuang saw too many disgusting paintings, each of which made her sleepless, and she stopped several times in the process of writing letters.

When Shi Guangnan was reading this story, he also stopped several times, on the one hand, to take a breath, and on the other hand, to think about the clues in the story.

The reason why she feels that there is a huge horror world hidden behind this story is because there are so many details in it that make people think about it.

For example, it mentions a general section of a mountain range, which is both deep and wide, with inhuman objects piled up like ants in the mountains, burrowing in and out of beehive-like tunnels underground. From here it can be seen that this demon has formed a social system.

For example, at the end of the story, there was a sound of Suo Suo coming from the dry well in the basement, Guo Zifeng took out his pistol, trembled nervously, and cursed the rats crawling out of the dry well in his mouth.

With a few gunshots, Yang Shuangshuang was so frightened that she turned around and ran, fortunately she ran fast, otherwise she would disappear into the basement forever with Guo Zifeng, a demon cub!

These rat swarms are obviously a higher level of terrifying creatures, that is, there is another system, or more, on top of the demonic social system, and there is some kind of ecological balance between them, otherwise there is still a gap for human survival.

Shi Guangnan: "What kind of existence are those rats? are they more advanced than demons?"

Tang Shuang: "...... When I have a chance, I'll write you the story of this swarm of rats. ”

Shi Guangnan said excitedly: "Do you have a very big idea? Is it a horror story?"

Tang Shuang: "emmm~ It is indeed said that it should be fantasy, you should see that "Guo Zifeng's Model" is a one-sided display of this big idea. ”

Shi Guangnan: "Can you tell me about it? It's okay to talk about it a little bit, it's okay if you're immature......

"Guo Zifeng's Model" is like one of the windows of a building, through this window, you can see some of the wonders in the building.

In fact, Lovecraft's classic horror short story "Pickman's Model".

Lovecraft was a master of horror, fantasy and science fiction in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, and his most famous work is The Cthulhu Mythos. The achievement of this work lies not only in its own excellence, but also in its groundbreakingness.

No one can write a world alone, and Lovecraft sets the rules for the world by writing some basic, programmatic stories, and then embraces the work of others.

As a result, countless fantasy literature lovers are telling their own fantasy stories under this framework, thus accumulating over time and constantly enriching and perfecting the Cthulhu Mythos system.

This, Lovecraft's greatest achievement.

Just like the martial arts world in China, "Three Heroes and Five Righteousness" determined the basic concepts of the martial arts world, and later works have been refined and created on these basic concepts.

Lovecraft's contribution to the creation of the World Fantasy Award, the world's highest award for fantasy literature, is a bust of Lovecraft.

Tang Shuang likes some of the stories in "The Cthulhu Mythos" very much, but there are also many that he can't appreciate.

"Pickman's Model" is one of his favorites.

There have been many discussions and parodies caused by this short story, but the most famous of them is probably a later British horror movie, "Invasion of Darkness", which tells the story of a group of explorers who strayed into an underground cavern and encountered cave-dwelling monsters......

The monsters are based on "Pickman's Models", they live in a dark and complex underground world, their skin is pale, like the terrifying appearance of humans degraded to some ancient point in time, and like a pack of dogs, with tails, agile and powerful movements, eating raw meat, drinking raw water, and occasionally coming to the surface to hunt creatures. They have a social system, a clear status, a clear division of labor, and even a rudimentary language system.

"Pickman's Model" is about the terrifying beauty hidden in our daily lives, but what Tang Shuang likes the most is not this one, but the more brilliant "Star Color", which tells about the coldness and horror of the dark universe, in addition to "Mouse in the Wall", "Painting in the House" and so on.

Among them, "Rats in the Wall" is about the group of rats that devoured Guo Zifeng, this group of rats from hell opened up the path of the underworld that connects the world.

There are countless humanoids like this, as well as hell rat swarms, which live on the same earth, the same starry sky, and the same universe as humans, and together form a huge and strange fantasy world, and the basis of this world's existence is that humans are only an insignificant part of the incomprehensible universe.

…… When it was almost noon, Huang Xiangning went home with candy, and the villain ran to Tang Shuang's room happily with a big bag and a small bag, calling him to come and appreciate her harvest!

In addition to the autumn clothes bought for Little Piggy, Huang Xiangning also bought Tang Shuang a long black autumn coat, and the other was all gifts for his grandparents and uncle's family.

According to Candy Girl, except for not letting her pay for this shopping operation, she did everything else.

Every piece of clothing was carefully selected by her, and she used a lot of brains, including Tang Shuang's dress, and she also helped him try it on himself.

Tang Shuang's dress can be used as a quilt for candy.

"Xiaoshuang, how can you thank me?"

I know that this girl has no scheming.

"How do you think I can thank you?"

Candy grinned and said, "Let's go pick up my sister from the." ”

Tang Shuang: "Are you stupid, they won't arrive until the afternoon, it's still early, and they don't have to go to the airport, they will come directly to the house." ”

Candy: "But I want to see my sister soon, let's go to's house." ”

Tang Shuang: "Do you really want to see my sister soon?"

Candy: "I want to do it." ”

Tang Shuang: "Okay, then I'll send you to Shengjing by, can you pick her up at my sister's house?" ”

Candy was dumbfounded: "Hmph!

Today Tang Zhen will go home, the Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon, she was invited by Yuezhou TV to participate in the recording of the Yuezhou Mid-Autumn Festival, and at the same time, Li Yuzhen and Luo Yuqing were invited.

Because it was in Yuezhou, the old Tang family decided to do their best to be a landlord and invited Li Yuzhen and Luo Yuqing to come home for dinner.
