"Nadeshiko, it's okay, I'm here. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info "Yuichi Saito tried to soothe the woman in his arms.
The woman, named Nadeshiko, had been buried in his arms, sobbing in a low voice, "I was about to clean up the house, and as soon as I walked in, I saw the writing on the wall...... "She was still immersed in fear."
Tian Ye walked to the wall, looked at the words on it carefully, and then said, "The handwriting is not dry yet, it should have just been written." After a pause, he looked at Yuichi Saito next to him, "Do you need to call the police?" ”
Saito Yuichi was silent for a while before he said, "It's useless to call the police, this kind of thing has been going on for a while." ”
Tian Ye was a little surprised when he heard this: "You mean, this is not the first time this kind of thing has happened in your house?" ”
Next to him, Wheat also muttered and said, "It sounds a bit like the situation of a magazine......
As soon as she said this, Saito and Tian Ye next to her all looked at her. Even Nadeshiko, who was still choking, looked up. Wheat suddenly received everyone's attention, and hurriedly realized his gaffe just now, and hesitated for a while before saying: "I heard Mr. Tian Ye's editor say that some strange things have happened to the magazine recently, and even ...... Red letters have also appeared on the walls. ”
Although I don't know if the words on this wall are written in blood, this situation still reminds Wheat of the magazine. Even if she hadn't actually seen the magazine's blood, it was hard to believe that it was just a coincidence, and that Mr. Saito's work was published by that magazine.
After listening to Wheat's words, Tian Ye also thought about it: "Listening to you say this, it seems to have something to do with it...... Yuichi, when did these things start happening in your family? ”
Saito Yuichi thought for a moment before he said, "This is the first time this strange thing has happened...... I think it was almost a month ago. Blood letters appear on the walls. The sliding door suddenly won't open, the electric light suddenly jumps, and someone has seen strange shadows in the night, in short, it is some bits and pieces. He said as he recalled. At first, I thought it was someone's prank, but when I asked the housekeeper, I didn't find anything suspicious. Although they called the police, the police couldn't find out anything about this kind of chasing after the wind and shadows. ”
Wheat listened to Saito Yuichi's words, and the implication was that they could only let it go? So who is it that does such an unpleasant thing?
Tian Ye was silent for a while, and then said, "In addition to these phenomena, are there any other strange things happening?" ”
Yuichi Saito thought for a moment. Then he said, "If you say that, there is really such a thing." After a pause, he continued, "Once, I printed out an electronic copy of a novel that I had written. Prepare for the final proofreading. But the next morning, the paper manuscript turned black, as if it had been splashed with ink. Something similar happened shortly afterwards when I was printing my novel manuscript at the magazine, and the novel manuscript also turned black. ”
When Mai heard this, he was immediately surprised. It seems that everything is related to this horror novelist. Could it be that someone is specifically wreaking havoc on his novels? Or is it that someone has a bad relationship with this writer, which leads to all kinds of faults with him, including destroying the paper manuscript of his novel?
Just as Wheat was thinking this, Tian Ye next to him seemed to express his considerations: "You mean, there are two times when the manuscript turns black?" So what about the content of these two manuscripts? Are they all from the same novel? ”
As soon as Yuto Saito heard him ask, he realized this. Then he said: "It's the same novel, and they're all one of the stories in the long-form series of novels called "The Egg of Evil." ”
"Eggs of Evil?" Tian Ye smiled when he heard this, "This can be regarded as your masterpiece, and it has been serialized for many years, right?" ”
Yu Saito nodded and replied, "Well, it's been a few years." Coco told me some time ago. There are film and television companies that want to buy the copyright for production. ”
"That's a good thing." "Speaking of which, many of your works have been made into TV or movies, and there are not a few that have been adapted into comics or animations. ”
Mai didn't expect this Saito Yuichi to be such a powerful figure in the industry, and she thought that the other party was just an ordinary horror novelist. Listening to Mr. Tano now, he is the one who has a place in the world of horror fiction.
Next to him, Saito Yuichi continued: "They want to buy out the copyright, but this "Egg of Evil" is a long series of short stories that are still being serialized, so I don't have any plans for the time being. ”
Mr. Tano shrugged his shoulders and continued to ask, "Then what is the title of this short story that you have recently serialized?" ”
"The Cursed Text." Saito Yuichi replied, "Judging by the current progress, it should be serialized a few more times." ”
Cursed text? Wheat thought of the incident that had just happened with the blood letters on the walls, and the series of strange things that the editor Nana had said about the magazine, where the blood letters also appeared on the walls, which were very consistent with the title of the story.
It seems that wheat is not the only one who has noticed this, and the field on one side also said, "It seems that these things have something to do with your story." By the way, do you have a draft of this story on hand right now? Show me if it's convenient. ”
When Saito Yu heard this, he got up and said, "Yes, the manuscript is in the study." Then he said to the servant beside him, "Erase the words from this wall, and then help the lady to the guest room to rest." ”
"Nadeshiko, I'll go to the study first, are you okay alone?" Before Saito left, he still didn't forget to ask.
The woman named Nadeshiko seemed to be very knowledgeable, and although she was still affected by the incident just now, she tried to calm down at this time, "Well, I'm fine, you can be busy." As he spoke, he said politely to the wheat and the field, "I'm sorry, everyone talk slowly, I'm missing first." ”
After Nadeshiko left, Saito Yuichi went to the study with Tian and Wheat, ready to give him the manuscript of the novel.
However, when he found the manuscript in the study, Saito Yuichi showed a surprised expression. Looking at the manuscript in his hand, he was stunned for a while.
Seeing him like this, Tian Ye also felt strange. Curiously, he stepped forward to check, only to be equally surprised.
"How can this manuscript be ......," Tian Ye muttered.
