"Monsieur Monet, have you seen my work? Then I'm so honored! Edogawa said excitedly.

"Mr. Hirai, you are too modest, your "Human Chair" is indeed very beautiful, the atmosphere is very good, and this idea really breaks through my imagination!" Monet praised.

"In terms of creativity, who can compare to your "Hair"!" Edogawa ranbu business boasted to each other.

"Hair is Lady Nicole's work!" Monet corrected.

"But Lady Nicole herself said that you told her the idea. By the way, did Lady Nicole come over this time? ”

Monet shook his head and replied: "No, she is still at home to catch up on the manuscript, not as idle as me!" ”

After chatting for a while and exchanging mailing addresses, Edogawa left with Ranbu. After he left, Catherine asked curiously, "Tony, is the "Human Chair" you just said really that good?" ”

Monet nodded and replied: "It's really very good-looking, I'll tell you about it when I go back later, but you have to be mentally prepared, because it's really a little scary!" ”

After watching the exhibition, Michael suddenly proposed to everyone on a whim: "You see that kind of car pulled by people is very interesting, why don't we take this car back!" ”

Monet didn't even need to look to know that Michael must be talking about rickshaws, which are really not available in New York, so it's normal for Michael to feel fresh.

So Monet casually called for one, and then pointed to the crowd and said to him: "You go and call five more cars, one for each of us!" ”

Although the rickshaw driver was a little surprised that Monet, a foreigner, could speak Chinese, the temptation of big business overrode curiosity, you must know that he went to shout five cars is equivalent to helping people introduce business, even if there is no commission, there will be favors, and these are all foreigners, and they must give a lot of money!

So the rickshaw driver happily ran to greet five companions to come over, and carefully waited for the six people to get into the car, Chen Yuanqi just said to go to the "Golden Gate Hotel", but was stopped by Monet: "It's too close to the Golden Gate Hotel, Michael, they can't enjoy it." ”

Then he commanded his coachman, "You let them all run after you, and then you listen to me, understand?" ”

"Got it, sir!" The rickshaw driver nodded in agreement.

After walking around the Golden Gate Hotel twice, Monet felt that it was almost enough, so they stopped at the door of the Golden Gate Hotel, and then gave the coachman six pieces of ocean and said, "You can take it and divide it!" ”

Although he had known for a long time that foreigners were generally generous, but such a short road could earn an ocean, the rickshaw driver was still overjoyed and thanked repeatedly, but Monet saw that he did not divide the remaining five oceans equally among his companions......

On the way into the hotel, Monet asked Chen Yuanqi: "Chen, since I got in the rickshaw, I have found that you are not in a very good state, why are you uncomfortable?" ”

Chen Yuanqi nodded and replied: "It's really uncomfortable, because this form of oppression only exists in China, and there is no one in New York at all!" And you see how hard the cart puller master just now, running sweating profusely! ”

Monet retorted: "There is no such car in New York, but most countries in Asia have it, the earliest car was invented by the Japanese, and now Vietnam and North Korea have this kind of car!"

In addition, the driver is really hard, but if we don't take the car, they will work even harder, because this is their means of making a living, and if you don't pull the car to do anything else, isn't it hard? So as long as we don't treat them badly, you don't have to have so much psychological pressure! (Actually, the rickshaw at that time was the taxi of today, and the advantages and disadvantages were basically the same...... ）

As soon as she arrived in the room, Catherine urged Monet to tell him a story, so Monet dimmed the lights in the room, and then sat the three girls on the single sofa, and then began to tell: "The story begins with a strange letter from a female writer named Yoshiko......"

When he heard that the craftsman who had a crush on Yoshiko was actually hiding in the chair, and Yoshiko, who was sitting on the chair and reading the letter, was equivalent to sitting in his arms, the three girls who were originally sitting on the single sofa suddenly couldn't sit still, and immediately jumped up, hugged Monet's arms and exclaimed:

"It's so scary, I wonder if there's a man hidden in this couch too!"

"That's right, this person is too perverted to do such a thing!"

"I think this author is perverted, otherwise how could I come up with such a plot?"

“......”

Monet comforted the three girls for a while and then said: "Actually, the most successful part of this "Human Chair" is not the perversion you say, but the author breaks the shackles of space and realizes the linkage with reality, which is the most difficult place for horror to do.

Usually we watch horror, even if it is Edgar Allan Poe's "The Fall of Usher House", there will be no immersive feeling, but this one is different, this kind of single sofa is available in many families, many people are likely to sit on this single sofa when reading this, so it is easy to have a sense of substitution when reading this plot, just like you just suspect that there are people hidden in this sofa you are sitting on, and this time it will bring the horror to you, and the horror level will be doubled immediately!

In fact, there are similar situations, for example, we are watching horror and write that the protagonist is in a secret room to avoid pursuit, and suddenly there is a knock on the door, if it happens that someone knocks on the door in reality at this time, will you be startled?

Edogawa Ranbu used this technique, but he used it very successfully, and the substitution scene he set up is simply unimaginable to ordinary people, so this article will cause us such a big shock! (The story "The Human Chair" was published in 1925.) ）

If it was Nicole at the moment, she would definitely feel that it would be a big benefit, but none of the three girls wrote, so she listened to the excitement, but Catherine noticed another question: "Tony, do you know Japanese?" I've heard that New Youth doesn't have an English version yet. ”

"Oh, I heard a friend tell me about it before I left!" Monet said casually.

Then, in order to divert the topic, Hehe Wei smiled: "Since you are so afraid, then let me help you dispel your fear!" As he spoke, he pushed the three girls down on the big bed.

PS: The book "The Richest Man Starts with Opening a Blind Box" is very good at the beginning, but now there are too many plots inserted to make mobile phones and QQs, not that the writing is bad, but I just want to see the plot of him selling blind boxes, so there are too few things to see......
