Chapter 32: The Horror Writer
"After many years, I have forgotten it, in fact, I don't want to think about it at all, once the image follows the memory into my mind, the chilling feeling will come out of the depths of my heart, close to my beating heart. I still roared like madness, my emotions tore through my heart, but the strange and terrifying sense of oppression lingered, entwined with the blood flowing in my heart, and made it deeply rooted. The sweat overflowing from Sun Lei's forehead continued to soak into the neckline of his already faded T-shirt, and only his messy and beating eyes interpreted the mania in his heart at the moment.
"Are you alright?" Mu Tianyu hesitated for a moment, seeing that the other party had not improved, as if he was under tremendous psychological pressure, if it continued for a little longer, he would be able to completely collapse his spirit and become an emotionally disturbed patient. This will only happen in the intensive care unit of a psychiatric hospital. "Are you okay?" Mu Tianyu raised his voice again, finally waking him up from his terrible nightmare.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I ...... just now" Sun Lei gasped, wheezing violently, stretched out his trembling hand to wipe the cold sweat on his neck, almost cold and cold.
Mu Tianyu sighed and took out a box of tissues from his bag, which he never thought would be used for the items he had received as gifts in the supermarket. "Here, your back is soaked."
Sun Lei was a little hesitant, after all, for many years, he had never dealt with anyone, and he had never received anything from others, but at this time, he was drenched in cold sweat, very bad, so he simply accepted the other party's kindness, he slowed down, shook his head and sighed: "I have forgotten about the town, but it wasn't until the winter two years ago that a woman suddenly found me." I don't know how she found out about me, and even found me in the remote mountains, who made a living from hunting and farming. In short, everything that happened was ingenious, as if there was a certain number in the dark, and everything was arranged. It was about dusk, and I walked back to the wooden house, the afterglow of the mountains and forests was still dazzling, and the snow condensed on the crimson leaves did not melt, but was crystal clear, like an ice pendant hanging in a human ear, and the sunset was like a person's cheeks, red and transparent. There were a few withered apricot leaves on the stone steps outside the eaves, half of which were buried in the snow, until I approached the fence outside the courtyard and found that the locked branches and vines had fallen off, and then I saw the footprints in the snow in the courtyard of the house, sinking deep into one of the withered apricot leaves, leading to the wooden house. ”
Sun Lei returned the remaining half of the pack of tissues to Mu Tianyu, and his embarrassed and stiff smile signaled friendliness, after all, he hadn't had a smile on his face for a long time. Then he switched the backpack he was carrying on his right arm to his left hand, took a deep breath and said, "I was holding the corpse of a winter silkworm rabbit in my left hand and a homemade bow in my right hand, and I walked in cautiously, and stood in the snow in front of the house, but I didn't hear anything unusual inside. Then I set aside the rabbit's carcass, removed a bow and arrow from my waist, and put the bowstring on it. I suspect that the intruder is a hunter like me, and though I have never seen a man in the barren mountains, only the same person as me will not make the slightest noise, and perhaps the man will lurk behind the wooden door, and draw the bowstring as well, expecting an arrow to pierce my head the moment it opens. I'm very nervous, the other party is not a helpless person, a short confrontation, either he dies or I die! I forced myself to calm down, and as I approached the gate, I avoided the dead leaves on the steps, lest I make a noise that would attract the man's attention, but then I suddenly heard a cough, a young and weak voice, a woman's voice! In my confusion, I kicked the door open, and then I saw her, sitting on a wooden kang, using a pink fountain pen to write something in an old and heavy notebook. She stared at me suspiciously, stunned, but didn't make a sound. ”
"A woman?" Mu Tianyu asked with a little surprise: "You live in isolation, and you are hidden in the remote mountains, you can't see anyone other than you all the year round, and every day you are accompanied only by snakes, insects, rats, ants, birds and birds in the dense forest, or unique flower species, or a quiet spring." And the woman who suddenly appeared is indeed unbelievable and deeply suspicious. ”
"That's right, that's it, that's it, I was dumbfounded." It seems that Sun Lei agrees with Mu Tianyu's point of view very much, and hurriedly nodded and said: "She, she is really a beautiful woman, maybe I haven't seen a woman for too long, in short, when I saw her for the first time, I was completely confused." With a pair of clear ice eyes, I believe that only when the mind is away from the hustle and bustle can the soul be so thorough. I swore that if there were other hunters at the time, they would have killed me. ”
"It comes at a cost, once you're attracted to her, sometimes the hunter will have too many thoughts about killing the prey, and the end will only be pounced on by the beast and bitten to death." Mu Tianyu knows this kind of encounter, which is also common in supernatural events, if the psychic has good intentions or cannot completely get rid of fear when exorcism, there will only be one outcome.
Sun Lei shook his head and sighed: "Yes, I was attracted to her at that time. Then, he remembered something, so he looked at Mu Tianyu and hurriedly explained: "You misunderstood, the attraction I mean is not what you think, in the past ten years, I have long been numb to that aspect of things, since the death of my wife and children, I have lived a muddy life, and my life has no direction, just like a lonely boat in the sea that cannot see the lighthouse of the harbor, and can only drift with the current, endless drift." ”
"I see what you mean, it's you who misunderstood me." Mu Tianyu shook his head and asked, "Then who is she?" Why do they appear in the mountains? ”
"She's a writer."
"Writers?"
"Yes, a writer, a writer."
"Oh, that's unexpected." Mu Tianyu sighed, thinking that she might be a psychic, or something else, but about the position of a writer, Mu Tianyu really didn't expect it.
"My expression was as full of surprise as you are now, and I never thought that a female writer would find it. But after a brief introduction, I finally knew why. Sun Lei said, and turned into a crossroads with Mu Tianyu, but the sides of the path were more open, as if entering a vent, and the cold and biting night wind was blowing head-on. She is a novelist who writes horror books, and to be honest, when I was younger, I would occasionally pass by magazines and buy one or two copies and read them in my spare time, after all, some unbelievable events would open my mind, so that my mind would be whimsical and beneficial to my body and mind. She was so impressed by what she said, I still remember that it was ......"
(I'm so sorry to bother you, I'm almost giving up, and I've dismissed the idea more than once in this dense jungle.) To tell you the truth, I thought you were no longer alive, a big living person, who would live in such a remote and barren deep valley, and I am afraid that I would not be able to do it if I prayed for a quiet environment. Now that my inspiration has dried up, and my donkey skills are poor, I really can't escape the suppressed resistance in my heart, so I want to ask you, only you can help me. I know you've been through a very bloody and horrific event, and the only one who can tell you about it is you, so please, help me, tell me what happened that night, and I'm willing to pay a million for the treatment to make up for the re-trauma to your soul or memory. )
"A million?" Mu Tianyu's eyes twitched, and he shrugged his shoulders,
"Yes, a million." Sun Lei smiled: "This was a huge wealth for me at that time, in fact, I also thought about returning to a certain town and living a normal life, but in the final analysis, I don't have enough financial resources." Who would hire a survivor who fled the disaster to be the sheriff of the town, in case he was too mentally injured to bear it, and if he suddenly went crazy, he pulled out his gun and swept it, which is crazy. ”
Mu Tianyu understood that he was just mocking himself and being helpless about the world, so he asked curiously, "What about later?" You accepted the deal? ”
Sun Lei was silent for a moment, and then continued to speak: "I was struggling extremely in my heart at the time, and she went on to say later......"
(You can live a better life, you can have your own family again, you look around, the humble dwelling, the deserted environment, maybe the life between the mountains and rivers will be refreshing, but living for a long time will make people numb, I believe that you have already lost yourself now, can not find the true meaning of life.) It's not just about going out early and returning late every day, carrying the carcasses of animals, and endlessly cutting down trees to build makeshift bases. After all, one day, the animals in the mountains will be killed by you, and the dense branches will be burned dry, and you, where will you go? But if you look at me now, I don't lack some of the most basic needs of life, and even I have everything I want, but I still live numbly, I have made up countless horror, horror, and supernatural stories, but I can't believe that everything really exists, so I lost my faith, I lost the motivation to live. I've stopped at the scene of a murder, lived in a murder house for days, visited eerie mines, and driven a car back and forth on deadly roads...... But I still haven't found what I'm looking for. Like you, my life has been in shambles, so I ask you for your help to redeem the souls of both of us. )
"It seems that she is pinning her hopes on what has happened to you, and she would love to experience something weird for herself."
"Yes." Sun Lei nodded in agreement with Mu Tianyu's point of view. "This really puzzles me, what she is obsessed with is very special, does a writer who writes horror novels have to experience some kind of supernatural event firsthand? In this way, can you create a more perfect and terrifying feeling? ”
"I don't know, but when psychologists come into contact with mentally ill people, the psychological depression they feel is more thorough and severe than when they usually look at all kinds of bizarre cases. The so-called hearing is better than seeing, and immersion is often more thorough than empathy. Mu Tianyu analyzed that when he was in the Institute of Psychology in the past, those students who had just entered the industry often had only two choices after being exposed to the first case, either giving up their career dreams or suffering in pain.
At the end of the distance, outside a parked bus, a young man was talking to the woman beside him, and their eyes were both looking at the two figures that were gradually coming in the moonlight in the distance.
"Lu Ming, I hope this matter can be passed smoothly." The woman looked into the distance, then turned and walked towards the car.
The young man nodded, looked at the woman's back, and hurriedly said: "Sister Tan, don't worry, one of them is a resident of Kennel Town, and I heard from the general manager of the intermediary company that he used to be the sheriff of the town and the only survivor of that incident." This man and woman are the same people who appeared on the red DVC coupe outside a commercial building yesterday.
