Chapter 21: This Damned World
Chen Xiao's first thought was the hand of her backpack, but she immediately reacted that she was now carrying her on her back......
At most, it's the weight of two people.
"This elevator is a bit old, and there are often some problems, and it looks like a haunted to others." Shi Weifeng let out a loud wine burp and slapped the wall hard.
The elevator stopped calling right away.
"I see."
Chen Xiao nodded, took off the cigarette in his ear, and smoked in the elevator like Shi Weifeng.
The gray-white smoke instantly filled the elevator, like countless souls echoing around him, and he couldn't disperse it.
Chen Xiao felt a little cold inexplicably.
I guess it's almost winter.
"Hoo ......"
Taking a heavy puff of cigarette, Chen Xiao glanced at Shi Weifeng and found that the smile on his face was not there at this time, but he was thinking seriously about something, and he was stunned.
Noticing Chen Xiao's gaze, the corners of his mouth opened and he returned to his enthusiastic appearance just now.
If two people are judged.
"Ding!"
"Here we are."
Shi Weifeng took out the key and opened the door, a faint strange smell came to his face, like something was rotten, and it seemed like the dullness of too much dust, which did not give Chen Xiao a good feeling.
"Because I live alone, the room is a bit messy, don't care!"
Shi Weifeng turned on the light, and the layout of the living room came into view.
Treadmills littered with clutter, yellowed off-white sofas, old electric fans on the side, spider silk hanging from the fan blades, and grease on the floor-to-ceiling windows of the kitchen.
Outside the living room was a small balcony, with a set of red clothes hanging on it, and the lantern glowing faintly and shallowly, finally a little bit of fireworks.
In the middle of the living room, a laptop is turned on and fluorescently placed on a tea table, with a mechanical keyboard attached to it.
"Don't worry, my room is messier than yours."
Chen Xiao sat on the sofa and brought the ashtray over.
"Wait a minute, I'll boil some water first."
Shi Weifeng suddenly became busy, and he didn't know what he was doing, walking out of the living room for a while, walking into the room for a while, and going back and forth several times.
After a while, he took out a disposable cup, poured down the tea, and then handed it to Chen Xiao, beside him, and said with a smile: "You drink first, I want to prepare for the work meeting first, Director Zhang asked me to write the plot I haven't written it yet!" ”
"Try not to go to the balcony, I didn't install an anti-theft net in order to save money, and it's terrible for this height to fall."
"Okay."
Chen Xiao put the tea aside, looked at Shi Weifeng, who was concentrating in front of the computer, and said, "Brother Feng, do you usually write manuscripts here?" ”
"That's right, I usually write about the supernatural here, and I feel better!"
"See this broken lamp up there? I deliberately smashed it to create a terrifying atmosphere that would make me more inspired! ”
As he spoke, Shi Weifeng opened the music player and clicked to play music.
The permeating and eerie music spread from the computer, echoing in every corner of the living room, and the desperate and terrifying roar made Chen Xiao frown.
"This music seems to be a bit ...... the underworld"
"Hahaha, that's right!"
Shi Weifeng was very satisfied with his reaction, and said with a fluttering eyebrow: "This is the audio of a young couple raising bears abroad and being eaten alive by the bears. ”
"I also bought banned songs such as "Confessions", "The Thirteenth Pair of Eyes", and "Black Sunday" with a lot of money, in order to write this kind of supernatural thriller script more inspired!"
Chen Xiao was surprised: "Are you so dedicated?" ”
"Of course!"
Shi Weifeng opened the conversation, as if he couldn't stop: "As an author, I must also empathize with reading!" If I want to write a novel that scares the reader, I must first feel that this emotion is real in the process of writing, so that it can be accepted by the reader! ”
"Every day I fantasize about someone hiding under my bed, every time I take a shower, I always feel like I have a bloody head on my head, and I always feel like someone is watching me from behind when I write a novel in the living room!"
"I recognize that God rewards hard work, and I am equivalent to saying that I have completely dedicated myself to the novel, and even if I die one day because of it, I will never regret it!"
"But ......"
Shi Weifeng's smile retracted, and his face became a little gloomy: "However, even if I put in so much effort, life is still unwilling to give me a good answer." ”
"I can only live in this filthy room, I can only be a third-rate screenwriter, I still can't find a wife, neither readers nor viewers buy my account, and I am still in danger of losing my job at any time, and my life is a mess......"
"It's not fair!"
"Why do I have nothing to give so much for!"
His emotions suddenly became excited, and the gloom on his face became more and more obvious!
Chen Xiao looked at him and said calmly: "People who believe that God rewards hard work will either go to pride or nothingness. ”
"When you succeed, you feel like you work hard, you deserve it all, and you look down on the losers."
"But when you fail one day, and even after trying hard, you get nothing, and you fall into a great complaint, just as at this time, you complain about the injustice of heaven."
Looking at Shi Weifeng's gradually hideous face, Chen Xiao squinted slightly and said:
"Personally, I tend to think paradoxically, most of the things in life are things you can't decide, you may only decide five percent of things, and you can't decide the remaining 95 percent."
"But we still need to do our best, and we need to ...... with that five percent"
"Enough, I don't need to listen to your bullshit chicken soup for the soul!!"
"What are you now? is a bad street actor, you even have to find a dead man's house to rent a house, haven't you ever thought about whether this is your fault or the world's fault! ”
Shi Weifeng gritted his teeth and slammed the laptop to the ground!
"And...... You know what! If you were me, it would be difficult for you to survive even one day!! ”
"The world has long been dirty! Don't you understand!! ”
"What are we? It can only be regarded as fuel on a high-speed train!! ”
"This sick world should be cleansed!!"
"Zizi Zi ......"
There was a strange sound in the living room, and the bedroom where Chen Xiao had not been in suddenly let out a terrible scream,
then
Red blood poured out, staining the floor.
The heavy smell of blood came to my face.
