Chapter 152 [Problem Storm]

"People's Daily: At present, the number of novels published every year is large, but at the same time, there are endless criticisms of novels from all aspects. The difficulties faced by previous novels, such as pale thinking, pan-entertainment tendency, language The vulgarity, the sloppy structure, the symbolic and flattening of characters, etc., now it seems that the core crux of the problem of novels was not grasped at that time.”

"The most critical issue is that young literature lovers seem to have entered a certain literary mode, while realistic literature seems to be becoming less and less popular. Recently, a realistic novel "Nobody Knows" has caused a lot of controversy. A sensation, especially among young people. The well-known author Bao Shiyi, who has written the realistic novel "The Melting Pot" and the mystery novel "Maliciousness", published his new book "Nobody Knows". This "Nobody Knows" includes Eleven, with his relentless prose, almost from the sidelines, tells a story that no one knows."

"The story of "Nobody Knows" is actually a story full of practical significance and worthy of reflection. The story is not full of sunshine and joy like most children's novels. , carried out in a gloomy atmosphere. With his unfeeling, cold writing style and slow and orderly narrative style, the writer Bao Shiyi, through the story of several children supporting each other and tenacious survival in the absence of parents, the story makes people have to Feeling helpless. The story did not explain the ending at the end, and the remaining children are still unknown, but they are touching. The innocence, optimism and simplicity of the children in the novel reflect the coldness and helplessness of the world. It can be said that it is a film with profound A successful novel with ideological connotation."

……

If the publication of a novel can be mentioned in the "People's Daily", and it is a very positive evaluation, it undoubtedly recognizes the excellence of the novel to a large extent.

And now Bao Shiyi's "Nobody Knows" is such an excellent novel. It is really like what "People's Daily" wrote, and it has caused a very big sensation on the Internet.

It includes the popularity of Bao Shiyi before, and the popularity of "The Voice of China" and the explosion of the video, but it is more because of the story of "Nobody Knows".

Just like what many netizens and writers mentioned after reading "Nobody Knows", Bao Shiyi is writing a very scary story with his ruthless writing style.

And the scariest thing is--

Stories aren't just stories, they're reality.

……

There are mothers who abandon their children, there are children who are abandoned and no one knows about them, and there are deaths that no one knows about, whether it is the video of Bao Shiyi cutting off his finger in front of his biological mother, or the story of "The Melting Pot" , or the real version of the story of "The Little Match Girl", netizens know very well that those are not just stories.

At the beginning, they were still discussing, they just took Bao Shiyi's cutting off of his finger as a talking point, and the journalists took it as a hot spot, and asked Bao Shiyi countless questions with a smile.

Questions one after another headed towards Bao Shiyi.

……

Well, now Bao Shiyi also smiled and asked his question.

One question after another!

Bao Shiyi, who hadn't responded before, was said to be a troubled boy and a psychotic Bao Shiyi. After "Nobody Knows", he published a new book again.

Just like the original malicious trilogy, one after another, in that depression, people continue to be depressed, painful, fearful, and shuddering.

……

April 9, Liucheng Publishing House.

Xu Qi walked behind a colleague, and it was Bao Shiyi that appeared on the colleague's computer screen.

Faced with the media reporter's interview, Bao Shili's face in the camera was slightly gloomy, but soon he smiled, the same smile as when he cut off his sixth finger.

"The stories no one knows are not just this "Nobody Knows". The new book will be released soon. The questions you ask, as well as my questions, are all in those stories no one knows."

Looking at Bao Shiyi surrounded by reporters in the camera, and listening to Bao Shiyi's words, for some reason, Xu Qi felt a chill when he thought of the new books that Bao Shiyi suddenly asked them to publish by Liucheng Publishing House.

"Sister Xu, I don't know why. Looking at Eleven, I seem to have a lot of things to say in my heart, but I don't know what to say."

The female colleague looked at Bao Shiyi's interview, turned to look at Xu Qi, and asked, "Sister Xu, what do you think?"

Xu Qi looked at Bao Shiyi in the screen and didn't speak. The whole person seemed to be in deep thought, but also seemed to be remembering.

Recalling the Bao Shiyi she first saw, and the stories written by Bao Shiyi she read now, the whole person was also lost in confusion.

……

"Sister Xu, this is the latest sample booklet, please take a look."

On the other side, a colleague walked up to Xu Qi with thick books in his arms, and then let go of those books one by one on the female colleague's desk for Xu Qi to read.

Xu Qi looked at the sample books that had already been printed, and the titles on the cover.

She has read every story in it.

It was because of seeing that she felt chills and fear.

"Crime in the Pastoral"!
"child"!
"Girl in the Dawn"!
……

"Wednesday Kids"!
Xu Qi reached out to get the "Wednesday's Children", but when her fingertips touched it, she shuddered.

It was an involuntary sense of dread.

Thinking of these stories, Xu Qi felt horrified.

However, Xu Qi still picked up the sample booklet and was about to flip through it. This strange book title was written on the cover, but the sentence below the title made Xu Qi's heart ache suddenly.

"Children born on a Monday are beautiful."

"Children born on a Tuesday are graceful."

"Children born on Wednesday are full of grief."

……

Naturally, she has also read this book, if this is the case——

So were these kids all born on Wednesdays?
Xu Qi felt a pain in her chest, really indescribable, probably because every story in it made her so uncomfortable that she couldn't breathe.

"Eleven, how could he write so many stories at once? And let us publish them together?"

"I really didn't expect it, he is really scary."

The female colleague's eyes fell on the new books, her eyes flickered, and then she murmured in a low voice: "It's really crazy."

Hearing these words, Xu Qi twitched the corners of his mouth stiffly, then closed the book in his hand, not daring to read it any more, and murmured: "Yeah, they're all crazy!"

……

all crazy?
Is Bao Shiyi crazy?

Or are they crazy?

So--

Who is crazy?

This is another question!
