213,Entering horror literature

Early the next morning, Tang Shuang was awakened by the sound of birdsong~

A group of great tits and long-tailed warblers live in the grove. This is their home, while Tang Shuang and Tangtang'er are outsiders.

The little piggy was still sleeping soundly. His sleeping posture was touching. He was moving non-stop all night. His hands and feet were constantly resting on Tang Shuang's body, pulling him off again and again, and lifting him up again and again~

Tang Shuang quietly walked out of the tent, not daring to go far, and just breathed the fresh air by the lake.

There was a faint smoke on the lake, and occasionally there was a splashing sound. It was the carp in the lake jumping out of the water. The sun showed most of its face and was rising quickly on the horizon. It was a sunny day.

Huang Xiangning came over and confirmed that Tang Shuang and Tangtang'er had slept peacefully last night. Before leaving, he left two thermos cups filled with warm water. One glass of water was essential when getting up.

As the cicadas sounded in the woods, Candy finally got up and looked around with a confused face. She thought she had been kidnapped!

This weekend, after breakfast, Huang Xiangning went shopping with Candy, saying that he wanted to buy a beautiful autumn clothes for the little man. Tang Sanjian went to the academy as a habit. No matter what happened, he would go there every day.

Tang Shuang stayed at home and worked miserably as a coding dog. He was now behind on manuscripts.

Just as I entered the writing state, the phone rang. It was Shi Guangnan, discussing yesterday's "Guo Zifeng's Model" story with Tang Shuang.

She watched it several times yesterday. Although she was a little scared, she couldn't resist the temptation.

This is the charm of horror stories. While you are scared, you can’t help but want to read more.

After reading it several times, Shi Guangnan decided to use "Guo Zifeng's Model" as the main article for this issue of "Spark" magazine.

At the same time, she saw something different. Although this story was very short, it seemed, how should I put it, as if this story was a door or a cave. Through them, you can find another unknown,

A weird and scary world.

Shi Guangnan noticed clues between the lines, just like a huge submarine swimming under the water but only making a ripple on the surface.

She caught this wave.

So she couldn't hold back and wanted to ask Tang Shuang, the author, if he had a huge horror world hidden in his heart, and "Guo Zifeng's Model" was just a reflection of this world.

The story "Guo Zifeng's Model" is told in the form of a letter. The writer is Yang Shuangshuang, and the recipient is one of her best friends. The content of the letter tells the story of her and her good friend, Guo Zifeng, her romantic partner.

.

Yang Shuangshuang is a student majoring in painting. Guo Zifeng is a talented but impoverished young painter who lives in the basement of an old neighborhood and leads a poor but passionate life. He always believes that he will become famous one day, and that day has already happened.

Not far.

However, just yesterday, he disappeared!

The place where he lived was too secluded and cramped, and even if he died, he would not alert anyone, so his disappearance did not cause any waves.

The only person who knew he was missing was Yang Shuangshuang, but Yang Shuangshuang did not call the police and was not prepared to call the police.

For no other reason, she just didn’t want to go into the basement where Guo Zifeng lived again, because there was something in that house! She swore she would never go there again.

Before Guo Zifeng met Yang Shuangshuang, many people had already broken up with him because they were all frightened by Guo Zifeng's paintings!

Guo Zifeng’s paintings are so morbid!

Especially the painting "Eating Ghoul"!

Yang Shuangshuang was not frightened. She even believed that Guo Zifeng was the greatest painter in Guangdong. Even now, she has abandoned Guo Zifeng and she still thinks so.

A great painter must have a profound insight into nature and be able to make the creatures in the painting creepy and lifelike. Because they understand the anatomy of terror and the physiology of fear, they can use precise lines and proportions to directly connect people to their slumber.

It uses appropriate color differences and light and dark effects to stimulate the abnormal feelings dormant in people's hearts.

Yang Shuangshuang said that if you have seen Guo Zifeng's "Eating Ghoul", you will sneer and laugh out loud at the so-called treasure of the Guangdong Art Museum - "The Night Walk of Evil Ghosts".

Because it's so clumsy, like an illustration from a cheap ghost story.

Guo Zifeng is a true genius when it comes to paintings about evil spirits.

But it is precisely because his paintings are so real and terrifying that no art museum or gallery is willing to take them in, and they can only be hung in the basement.

What a painter paints is not necessarily what he sees and observes, especially some painters with fantasy themes. They use illusions as models to evoke something close to real scenes from the weird netherworld.

As for Guo Zifeng, it can be seen from his paintings that he has an unparalleled rich imagination, and the illusions in his mind are very detailed and realistic.

If not, how could he draw such real and scary paintings, unless...

Unless what?

...unless he has a real evil ghost as a model!

But this is impossible!

...Well, maybe.

The most outstanding and lifelike thing about Guo Zifeng’s paintings is the characters’ faces!

He can paint the characters' facial features and distorted expressions to make them look like the underworld.

It is for this reason that one of Guo Zifeng's friends broke up with him!

This friend of his studied pathology. A few days before he broke up with Guo Zifeng, he and the people around him complained that Guo Zifeng's face made him more and more disgusted, even to the point of being afraid!

Because the features and expressions on his face are changing little by little. In a sense, they are definitely not human faces and expressions!

Others are getting farther and farther away from Guo Zifeng, but Yang Shuangshuang admires him more and more.

Yang Shuangshuang is a young and beautiful girl. As the two come into contact more and more frequently, Guo Zifeng becomes more and more attached to her and becomes more and more unable to extricate himself.

Finally one night, he hinted that if Yang Shuangshuang could keep the secret and had the courage, he could show her some rather unusual works that were much more realistic and terrifying than those displayed in this basement.

More terrifying than "The Eating Ghoul"?

A hundred times more frightened!

Although Yang Shuangshuang admires this painting very much, he has to admit that it can cause people great uneasiness.

So it was really hard for her to imagine what a painting that was a hundred times more horrifying would look like.

She was extremely curious and tried her best to dissuade herself. But in the end, her curiosity took control of her body and she followed Guo Zifeng to his other underground studio.

Although Yang Shuangshuang was mentally prepared, she was still stunned when she saw the paintings on the wall and almost fainted!

She finally understood that when Guo Zifeng said "draw whatever you want", he didn't just say it casually.

The paintings he hung on the walls are really a hundred times scarier than "The Eating Ghoul"!

But how to describe these paintings? Please forgive her poor language. She can only use some words to express the indescribable fear, such as appalling, blasphemous, abominable, spiritual stench, unbelievable, weird, blood, madness,

Deformities, pathologies, germs, dark forests, cliffs facing the sea, tunnels extending in all directions...

These paintings have one thing in common, that is, none of the characters in them retain a complete human appearance, but they all have varying degrees of human characteristics. Most of them stand upright on two legs and lean forward, looking like a group of dogs.

That rubber-like skin makes people feel disgusted.

The painting depicts them in groups, crowded in cemeteries or tunnels, fighting for food. The food is raw meat and dripping with blood, but as for what exactly it is? Yang Shuangshuang did not say clearly, she must have been frightened.

Among them, what impressed Yang Shuangshuang deeply was a painting called "Class". What a beautiful name. It shows a group of babbling children learning knowledge in a bright and spacious classroom.

However, this is not the case. The painting is a group of nameless, dog-like things, squatting in a circle in the cemetery, teaching children to eat like them?

Yes!

In this painting "Class", Guo Zifeng depicts how these children were raised, and as they grow, their facial features and body language are constantly changing!

From this painting, Yang Shuangshuang realized for the first time the relationship between human faces and the faces of inhuman things.

Guo Zifeng drew the entire process of human beings gradually degenerating and finally becoming completely non-human. It turns out that those dog-like things are also human beings!

Later, Yang Shuangshuang discovered another kind of horror!
