Volume 22 Horror Novels Chapter 2 Reincarnation
"Hongyue Town?" Mi Zhen wrote these three words in her notebook, then raised her head, looked at Mi Tian, and said, "So, does this name have its origin?"
Mitian nodded and said, "Of course, Hongyue Town is a small town where the moon in the sky will be blood-red throughout the year."
Mi Zhen continued to record it, but halfway through the writing, she said, "Well, Mi Tian, why not change it? That is to say, a blood-red moon will appear on a certain period of the year. Do you feel that this mysterious feeling is a little stronger?"
After hearing this, Mi Tian clapped his hands and said, "Yes, sister, your idea is very good, just change it like this! Then, the plot starts with a crazy woman..."
"Well, the crazy woman... is a bit scary." Yama continued to record this and asked again: "Does the crazy woman take on the prophetic role?"
"Good. How do you know? Sister?"
"Aren't horror movies all the tricks? Normal people don't believe in ghosts, so people who believe in ghosts will naturally be regarded as crazy people. And because madmen have no normal thinking, they don't need to explain how to obtain prophecy, and they can also add mysterious elements. The essence of horror novels is that they are unknown and unthinkable, that is the real horror."
"You seem to know better than me, sister."
"That's, the college students here are still studying for exams. Looking at the era of Ultraman and Cherry Maruko, I don't know how many times I have competed with the god of death. I have even been in the pile of corpses. I know more about what horror is. So I know better than anyone else. How to overcome horror. Well, Roosevelt once said a sentence to inspire the American people during the economic crisis. The sentence was, 'The only thing worth fearing is fear itself', and that sentence is regarded as a classic by me."
"Sister, today, don't mention the matters related to the apartment."
"Okay." Mizhen smiled slightly and said, "That's right. Today, there is no blood-instruction. Everything is decided by our sisters. Haha, this feels very good, right? Mitian?"
"Well... I just mentioned that the mad woman is a woman who has been living in Hongyue Town, and then the beginning of the horror phenomenon is the heroine..."
"Have the heroine's character determined?"
"Personal design?"
"The character design is very important. Because horror novels are special styles, if the sense of substitution is not strong enough, it will obviously affect the readability of the novel. The protagonist cannot be too timid or too bold. You must grasp a good standard. I think a divorced single woman is a very good setting, because she is a woman and lives alone with her children. This obvious image of a weak person can easily arouse the reader's favor, and at the same time, she can also use that child to perceive various horror phenomena. It can be said that kills two birds with one stone."
"Well, I actually think so too. And, most importantly, the image of a woman's weak is often deeply rooted in people's minds. In horror novels, if a woman plays the protagonist, it can greatly enhance the sense of inclusion. Of course, everything is based on this horror novel published in the Piaotian literature."
"Forget it, online novels are all positions for fantasy fairy tales, so where would anyone read horror novels? As for the heroine, it can be set as, because she just divorced but her ex-husband was entangled, she temporarily moved to this town to live for a while. If you work, you can write it... By the way, what about online writers? In this way, you can work as usual even in a remote town. It is not good to arrange for unemployed, because it is difficult for a party without a career to obtain custody when it comes to divorce lawsuits."
"Internet...writer? Well, okay, let's just do it for now. For a child, it's enough to be five or six years old. Well, it's a boy. Next, it's the story of Red Moon Town, right? Are you planning to set it as an ancient curse?"
"Absolutely. This kind of remote town is also very suitable for creating horror themes. As for curses, I plan to set it like that..."
That night, Mitian returned to his dormitory and was still conceiving the outline of the novel in his mind. Finally, he opened his laptop, created a document, and began to record all the ideas in it. He planned to write a novella of about 100,000 words as a test work.
"After writing... let's show Li Yin?"
When Mitian closed the laptop, she suddenly felt a little satisfied. Especially when Mima said that to him, she said that no matter what he did, as long as he wanted to survive, that would be fine.
"Sister..." He said in a voice that only he could hear: "Thank you. Really, thank you."
The next day, at noon and lunch break, Mitian was holding food in the cafeteria and suddenly found that Xiyue was sitting not far away. Suddenly, he accelerated his pace.
"Xiyue!" Mitian came to her and said, "I can sit here, right?"
"Yes, yes." Xiyue said immediately: "You can sit there casually."
"Okay." Mitian sat down immediately.
I have to say that Xiyue is so beautiful that even if she just sits quietly, some very subtle actions can make people fall in love with her. The word perfection is simply created for people like her.
"I heard Mi Zhen say you are writing a novel?" Xiyue smiled. The moment was so touching that Mi Tian was almost infatuated.
"Ah, yes." Mi Tian then realized and said, "Yes, my sister told you? She just talks quickly."
"Mi Zhen is not a person who can hide secrets. But you and your sister are not like each other at all, always keeping people from thousands of miles away." Xiyue said this, blinking and said, "After writing, why don't you let me see it?" I just don't know, how is Mi Tian's writing style? If you write well, maybe a writer in our class can be produced."
"Xiyue, what type of novel do you like?"
"I? Romance. But I also like science fiction novels. I heard that you write horror novels? I rarely read this type of thing. You won't write scary words, right?"
"Well, it will be scary. If you are scared, don't watch it."
"It's okay." Xiyue waved her hand and said, "What's the relationship between Mi and I? We will definitely see it."
"Is that so? Then I'll take a look."
A voice came, and Mi Tian immediately turned around. If it were not Li Yin, who could it be?
"Li Yin?" Mi Tian immediately stood up and said, "You have been here all the time?"
"Well, it's almost the same. Do you want to write horror novels? I used to hear that you occasionally write short stories, but it seems that they are all such scary stories. I heard that you are planning to write a novella this time? Be sure to let me read it after you finish it. I think your writing style is pretty good."
Li Yin did not say it casually at that time. He had long regarded Mitian as his close friend, so he would naturally read his books with all his heart, and he himself planned to write novels in the future.
Mi Tian looked at Xiyue and Li Yin and became more determined to create this novel well.
In the next few days, he and Mishi spent their time in the library, carefully studying every detail of the novel, and finally started writing. About a month later, he completed his first horror novel called "Reincarnation".
This horror novel was also his only novella afterwards. In fact, Mi Tian always believed that horror novels were not suitable for writing into long stories, because such novels were completely imaginative and had to ensure the unknown unknown. If you wrote too much, you had to reveal too much content, and the unknown and mystery would be destroyed, so it is most appropriate to write a horror novel into a short story of 30,000 to 50,000 words.
Afterwards, Xiyue and Li Yin read this novel very much and praised it. For a time, many people in the class have read it and are considered to be the best work.
At the end of the novel, it is an open ending, and the life and death of the heroine is a suspense. Mi Tian explained to Li Yin in this way: "I think the open ending is the most ideal ending for a horror novel. Horror is something in the middle of hope and despair. If you prefer either side, you will lose the standard, and if you are in the middle, you can maximize its horror effect."
This open-ended ending is also one of the things that Li Yin appreciates most, claiming that he will learn from this point of writing novels in the future.
And this is also Mi Tian’s last novel. The delicate brushstrokes are impressive.
At the beginning, the flashback technique was used: "The sky. The full moon that should have been silver-white in the past is now covered by a layer of blood red. Then, the blood red seemed to cover all the sight in front of you."
June 23, 2011.
Li Yin opened the document of the novel again at this moment and looked at the beginning of the line. At that time, Mi Zhen had just returned to China to meet him and said that he hoped to hand it over to her, this novel "Reincarnation".
"Are you reading a horror novel? Li Yin?"
Li Yin immediately turned around and saw that the one standing behind him was Deep Rain.
"You, how did you come in?" Li Yin immediately stood up and asked.
"How did you come in... you opened the door," Shenyu looked very innocent: "You didn't lock the door yourself. I want to ask you whether you attended the blood-word seminar this afternoon. The residents have unanimously decided that if you still missed the meeting, Ke Yinye will be officially elected as the director of the new building."
"So?" Li Yin replied without hesitation: "Then let them let Ke Yinye be the director of the new building. I don't care."
"I have something to say!" Shenyu rushed over and grabbed Li Yin's collar and said, "Are you finished? Where did Li Yin, who erased the blood words three times, save Midye? Did I change myself just to see you now? It was you, you who changed me!"
"Then, let you down."
Shenyu wanted to say something, but when he said that, he still didn't continue.
"Forget it. You're okay!" Shenyu was about to turn around, but suddenly turned around and said, "To put it, whose novel is this?"
"I'm a college classmate."
Shenyu walked to the computer, looked carefully again, and said, "The writing style is pretty good. Can you send a copy to my email address?"
"You want to see it too?"
"Just treat it as passing the time. I'll leave first."
After watching Shenyu leave, Li Yin sat down again. At this time, he suddenly noticed that there was still someone standing at the door, which was Midnight who had escaped from death!
She walked in and looked at Li Yin, trying to say something, but she didn't say anything.
Chapter completed!
