Chapter 44 Rabies Data
As long as a dog bites a person, the person is likely to bite the dog in turn.

That night, Mijia, Fu Shi, and the writer were all in the villa.

Micah calls the writer out of the bedroom to talk to him about the next horror novel.

On the root carving coffee table, there is a Moka pot, and Fu Shi is using it to make coffee.

Micah asked the writer:
"How far have you written that horror novel about rabies?"

"It's more than half. I'm fast, 10000 words a day."

"Be sure to pay attention to colloquialism. The stories you told in the past always made people feel like they were reading novels."

"I realize."

"Also, we should investigate the sex ratio of the midnight show audience, which is very important to us."

"All I know is that more than 90 percent of my readers are women."

"Women should be less courageous, why do they become more afraid and more loving?"

"It's like a woman's attitude toward sex."

Mijia smiled, with a lustful light in his eyes: "Which one do you think is more exciting, safe sex or dangerous sex?"

Fu Shi never looked up, as if he didn't hear.

The writer thought for a moment and said, "...dangerous sex."

"SM? Man and beast?"

"That's not danger, it's terror."

"What do you think is the scariest thing?"

"...To bring together the mentally ill people from all over the world, and use a device to turn the sick images in their brains into pictures and play them one by one. That should be the scariest."

"In other words, insanity is the scariest?"

"This is just my personal opinion. The vast majority of people don't think so. They are more afraid of the horror that may happen at any time in reality. Because they can't go crazy, normal and abnormal are too far away."

"In the past, when I was planning this program, I conducted a survey. The question was--what are you most afraid of? Some people said they were most afraid of morgues, some said they were most afraid of wild graves, some said they were most afraid of mirages in the sky, and some said they were most afraid of mirages in the sky. Afraid of snakes and caterpillars, some said they were most afraid of vampires, some said they were most afraid of deserted castles, some said they were most afraid of people around them suddenly becoming abnormal, some said they were most afraid of losing everything they had... almost no one said , I am most afraid of a sudden mental disorder, and what is closer is that some people say that I am most afraid of sleepwalking."

Fu Shi suddenly spoke: "Actually, to be insane, a person doesn't necessarily have to suffer a huge blow or strong stimulation. There is also an accidental situation where anyone may hit..."

The writer immediately stared into Fu Shi's eyes and said, "I know what you're talking about."

Mijia looked at Fu Shi, then at the writer, and asked, "What is it?"

"Rabies," says the writer.

Fu Shi concentrated on making coffee and stopped talking.

Mijia asked in panic: "Rabies...it's terrible! That nasty German Shepherd bit me, I won't get rabies, right?"

Writer: "Aren't you vaccinated? Nope."

Mijia said: "I am most afraid of this disease. When I was young, there was a neighbor in my family. The girl was healthy and happy. For a while, she suddenly became manic, anxious, fearful, unable to see water or light, She couldn't see the wind, she was scared when she saw it, her face was pale, she was trembling, and she ran around... Two weeks later, she went completely insane, the corners of her mouth were drooling, and she bit anyone she saw. Finally, a group of people tied her up firmly. On the bed, and then hid far away, watching her struggling, screaming, and convulsing... Later, her father recalled that more than ten years ago, she was once scratched by a kitten, and she didn't pay much attention at that time , I didn't expect to scratch her just once, and she was infected..."

The writer said: "The rabies virus will quickly destroy the nerve center, so that mental madness can be contagious, just like Fu Shi said."

Mitya said, "It would be even more frightening if it remained alive and frightened and mad."

The writer said: "Among infectious diseases, the fatality rate of rabies ranks first. If you get infected, you can't live! Last year, rabies in Xijing reached its highest peak in 10 years."

Mijia said bitterly: "The dogs should be killed!"

The author said: "There are more and more people keeping pets. In Xijing, there are 50 pet dogs registered for the annual inspection. Every year, at least 12 people in Xijing are bitten by dogs on average. Can they be killed?"

Mika said, "Aside from dogs and cats, what other animals can get rabies? I have to be careful."

The writer said: "And rabbits and guinea pigs and all that stuff, and wolves, foxes, badgers, bears, weasels, bats..."

Mijia said, "What about the mosquitoes? If a mosquito bites a mad dog and bites me again, will I be infected?"

The writer said: "I have not seen such a case in the information I checked. However, I think it is possible."

Mitya said, "That would be terrible..."

The writer said: "All we can do is - if you see a dog, stay away."

The coffee was brewed and the aroma filled the house.

Fu Shi stood up and poured coffee, looked up at the writer, and said, "But, you can't guard against people."

The writer looked at Fu Shi and said, "Human?"

Fu Shi said slowly: "If there is a person who suddenly rushes up behind you and bites you, can you hide? And this person is a rabies patient..."

The writer looked at Mitya.

Mijia looked at Fu Shi.

Fu Shi put the Moka pot on the tea table, stared into the writer's eyes, and said, "For example, I suddenly jumped up and bit you now, where are you running?
The writer shuddered.

Fu Shi withdrew his gaze, sat on the sofa, picked up his coffee, and took a sip.

The writer asked worriedly: "Have you never been bitten by a dog before?"

Fu Shi looked at him and asked back, "What about you?"

The author said: "The longest incubation period of rabies can reach 30 years. Everyone should recall whether they were bitten by dogs when they were young, but they neglected to inject rabies vaccine..."

Mijia said: "Yes. At the end of the broadcast of this story, we want to remind the audience. In this way, the horror in the story is brought to reality!"

Fu Shi laughed, and said: "Every dog ​​should recall whether it was bitten by me."
