After leaving a book easily, Alice walked away, and no one would suspect that she had indeed left early to go shopping with her girlfriends, after all, this was a girl who didn't even bother to hold a book launch, so the editorial staff was not surprised at all. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Then, it's time for the editors to read the novel in detail, holding the photocopy.

"Let me make it clear to you upfront that this novel should have a thriller and suspense style, and it is not science fiction like Jurassic Park, and Alice has picked a new category. ”

In the conference room, Brown distributed the manuscript to the ten editors present, and the editor-in-chief, Domingo, received one and said, "There should be? Didn't Alice tell you the synopsis of the story?

After Brown finished sending the manuscript, he smiled wryly and said, "Yes, that girl is still as willful as ever, and she even asked me to pick out the title of the book from the chapter table of contents." Fortunately, I finally picked it out, which is the last chapter before the 'epilogue', let-the-right-one-in. ”

Everyone present silently read the name, but did not say anything, but read the story directly.

The prologue is quickly read, and the plot is set in a small town near Stockholm, the capital of Sweden, and it is a small town with no history to speak of, and a large foreign population, and the total population is not too much or too little. As for the season, what could be more appropriate for a thriller than a cold winter with a blank expanse of snow?

The story officially begins.

The main part of the story is not the mysterious father and daughter mentioned at the end of the prologue, but a young boy named Oscar. He's a lonely and often bullied 12-year-old boy who, as he continues reading, soon discovers that the boy clearly has an amazing potential for crime.

First of all, he is a fan of the goosebumps series of thriller adventure novels. Moreover, he also loves to read all the murder-related reports, and cut them out and piece them together into a collection of picture books, which is obviously not a hobby that a normal boy should have, and must have an unusual reason.

The reason, of course, was revealed, and Oscar's living environment was very unsatisfactory. His parents are divorced, his father is an unquestionable homosexual lover, and his custodial mother is a devout Catholic who devotes most of her energy to prayer every day and night. Reading this, Brown can understand this situation to some extent, for some people who are already deeply religious, if there is some great blow in life, it is indeed easy for them to throw themselves into religious belief like a psychological, like a cultist.

At the same time, the withdrawn Oscar is always bullied by a few little bullies at school. Cowardly by nature, he did not choose to resist, but wore a terrifying "human skin mask" every night, and used a blunt knife to constantly chop tree poles to vent his anger. Overall, every depiction is a constant reminder to the reader that the little boy will definitely take a path to darkness unless the plot is reversed.

The reversal didn't happen, but the father and daughter finally appeared.

In fact, as a father, Haken Bentson has appeared a long time ago, and it appears extremely frequently. In the entire first chapter, there is a paragraph separated by numbers for every 2,000 words, and the frequency of Haken and the protagonist Oscar seems to be almost one-to-one. Moreover, this Haken did a terrible thing as soon as he appeared on the scene.

After a short rest in the snowy town, he slit the throat of an innocent teenager in the dense woods on the edge of the town, on a silent snow-white earth, and strangely took out a large funnel and a vessel large enough to hold five gallons of liquid.

"Oh my God......"

There was a simultaneous moan from the silent conference room, no one catering to him, and everyone was catering to him with silence. The editors are all reading at a similar speed and have a lot of experience, so who can't guess what that Haken is going to do?

Both protagonists are perverted.

A twelve-year-old boy is eating gummies while flipping through the newspaper. When he saw a female killer being executed in an electric chair, he fantasized about the physical changes of the prisoner when he was dying, and when he saw the report in the evening newspaper that a man had murdered two *** in his steam room and hid the dismembered bodies of the chainsaws in the back of the bathroom, the boy calmly ate the last piece of candy, and calmly studied the prisoner's appearance, and felt that the person was very ordinary.

And to conclude that maybe twenty years from now I will be like this.

In short, this book is very energetic.

For example, the author used a very detailed process to describe the plot of the forty-year-old bald man Haken looking for **. Even the pimp's teeth were knocked out by the pimp in order to "serve" better, and when Brown read that the man was being served in the dirty toilet, goosebumps popped up all over his body for nothing.

Looking around, the entire conference room was even more silent.

Then, the highlight finally arrived.

Oscar and the little girl Abby meet.

A girl of the same age who is barefoot in the snow and ice.

The "daughter" of Haken, who had just moved to Oscar's next-door neighbor, had covered her windows with planks and cardboard all day long. For a variety of reasons, Oscar quickly became good friends with the girl, and when Abby learned that Oscar was often bullied by the school, she told Oscar to learn to fight back.

Then, she's a vampire.

Ever since they moved to this cold Swedish town, there have been frequent murders in the area, and the dead have been drained of blood, all of which were committed by Abby's "father", Haken. In just about ten days, he killed no less than three people and extracted at least fifteen gallons of blood. The huge amount of food made Brown realize that this was not an easy errand, and it was no wonder that they would move to such an inaccessible town full of outsiders.

But one day, Abby's "father" was found collecting human blood, and he immediately chose to commit suicide, disfiguring himself with the sulfuric acid he had prepared, destroying his vocal tract, and tragically being sent to the hospital as a seriously injured patient and a suspect. In this way, Abby was left alone.

So, there's an episode in between. Abby, who hunts alone, bites a woman named Virginia, but fails to kill her, and even causes her boyfriend to hinder her from drinking blood. The existence of vampires could be exposed, at least Virginia did become a vampire, but the girl who was not far away chose to kill herself, and when the curtains of the hospital were opened, she was reduced to ashes in a scream of sunlight.

But at the end of the day, as the reading progressed, the editors easily discovered that it turned out to be a love story.

Although the male protagonist is only a twelve-year-old child.

Oscar actually knew the fact that Abby was a vampire for a long time, and he knew that she was constantly killing humans, but he still fell deeply in love with Abby, and Abby also took Oscar as his spiritual support. Although this emotion is obviously very distorted and full of doubts, none of the editors have the energy to ask questions, and they just continue to read it.

The high-energy plot keeps playing.

At least, this vampire girl is indeed extremely ugly when she is bloodthirsty. According to the small talk between Alice and Brown a few days ago, it should be the so-called transformation. There was a snoring sound in his mouth, his fangs were as sharp as a beast, his facial contours were slightly deformed and beastly, and even his skin became very rough. Like many vampire themes in the past, Alice did not deliberately glorify Abby's existence, but maybe she watched too much of the old theme, and Brown did think that such Abby was really "cool".

Then, it's time for the finale.

Absolutely iconoclastic ending.

Virginia's boyfriend, who discovers the existence of a vampire, is tasked with killing Abby, who sleeps soundly in a bathtub covered with sunshade every day, and is injured if he touches the sun. It's definitely a huge weakness, and an unquestionable opportunity.

But in this book, good does not triumph over evil. Just as Rex sneaks into the bathroom and is about to lift the window shutter, Oscar delivers a fatal blow from behind and allows Abby to suck up the other party's blood as much as she wants.

Too...... It's so high-energy.

But long before this episode, Brown understood the meaning of the so-called "let-the-right-one-in".

Limited by "magic", like traditional vampire stories, without the consent of the "owner", the vampire will die bloodied once he enters a private place. However, when Oscar, who didn't understand this, deliberately didn't say the "please come in", Abby still walked into the house.

Then, in the horrific scene of blood oozing from the girl's body, the boy screamed and quickly said the phrase "Please come in", inviting the vampire girl into his home and into his heart.

Thus, when Oscar became the new "Haken", "protecting" and "assisting" Abby, Brown was not too surprised.

Then, it's time for the real ending.
