Chapter 194 [When a monster knocks on the door]

Yanjing, the editorial department of "Fairy Tale World" magazine.

The editor Su Qin walked to the editor-in-chief Zhou Qing's office with a smile on her face, and said with a smile as soon as she entered the door: "Editor-in-chief, he sent the manuscript after November. This time it's a medium-length fairy tale."

When Zhou Qing heard Su Qin's words, he was very pleasantly surprised. He called Bao Shiyi himself to ask for a manuscript, and Bao Shiyi agreed. He didn't expect that Shiyi would submit the manuscript so soon.

"Hurry up and send me an email, let me take a look."

"It's already posted, I'm going to check it out too."

After speaking, Su Qin didn't say anything to Zhou Qingduo, turned around and left the office, returning to her desk.

She couldn't wait for a long time in her heart, and she was really curious about Bao Shiyi's fairy tale this time, and it was different from the previous fairy tales, this time the fairy tale was like a novel.

……

Soon, Su Qin and Zhou Qing will know why they think the stories are different, because Bao Shiyi's "When a Monster Knocks on the Door" tells not one fairy tale, but three fairy tales.

The latest "When a Monster Knocks on the Door" written by Bao Shiyi tells the story of the young Kang Jie.

Ever since his mother started chemotherapy, the teenager Kang Jie has had nightmares every night. In his dreams, the weather is always dark and gloomy, the wind is blowing, screaming, and hands that he can’t hold tightly no matter how hard he tries. He is always tortured. Had the same nightmare.

Until one day an uninvited guest appeared at home, and the demon with ancient aura told Kang Jie that it was summoned by him, and it wanted to exchange three stories for one of Connor's own real stories.

Kang Jie is not afraid of demons, because what he is facing-the most beloved mother is going to death step by step, which is even more terrifying.

Kang Jie felt weird at night, and his life during the day was also very difficult.Kang Jie's father left their mother and son, and the grandmother who came to take care of their lives did not get along well with Kang Jie.On top of that, he had to endure those bleak days at school - exaggerated sympathy from teachers and bullying from classmates.

Gradually, Kang Jie discovered that there is a certain pattern in the time when the devil appears every night, and the stories it tells with unclear meanings seem to be metaphors, whether it is the messenger of death, or the miracle that Kang Jie expected, and The story that Kang Jie has been unwilling to cash in with the devil is actually the darkest secret in his heart.

……

If we say that this kind of story is not a fairy tale at the beginning, but the demons appearing in it, and the three dark fairy tales told in exchange with the demons are the real excitement of "When a Monster Knocks at the Door" place.

Not a simple, lowly children's story.

This is the most direct feeling of editor-in-chief Zhou Qing after watching Bao Shiyi's "When a Monster Knocks at the Door". Regardless of the difference, the same thing now is that he cried after watching "When a Monster Knocks at the Door".

really cried.

Zhou Qing felt that he might not have truly understood some of the mysteries in this story, because only those who have experienced some human affairs can appreciate the flavor of it.

The story is full of dialectical truths about the growth of life, including the three dark fairy tales told by the monster to Kang Jie.

There is also Kang Jie who has to bear the pain of his sick mother who is about to pass away, and has to deal with the troubles of being in the same room with his rigid grandmother.He wanted his father's love but couldn't get it, and at the same time, he was bullied by his schoolmates...

Kang Jie endured too many partings and sorrows that he shouldn't have at his age.

This kind of sadness is why there are special stories told by monsters. All fairy tales have a reverse ending in the end!

A prince who killed his wife and blamed his step-grandmother in order to seize the throne has become a respected king, and a seemingly vicious wizard is an innocent scapegoat.

A priest who tried to save his daughter's life was tried and punished, while a seemingly notorious pharmacist only wanted to cure diseases and save lives.

An invisible man who rebels in order to be seen, and feels lonely when he is seen.

……

This time, Zhou Qing knew very clearly that it was not because of the ending of the story, but because he was really healed by this story.

"Su Qin, as you said, we are being cheap, but this time, after watching "When a Monster Knocks on the Door" by Eleven, I was really moved."

Su Qin once said to Zhou Qing before that he was complaining that every time the fairy tales he wrote had sad endings, which made people very depressed, but he missed his tragic fairy tales. "

Like masochistic tendencies.

Su Qin was also moved by the story of "When a Monster Knocks at the Door", and was really deeply moved, her eyes were still red, but with a smile on her face, she couldn't help but said: "Yes, the little girl Eleven The monster really doesn't play its cards according to common sense, and it tells three dark stories that seem simple but are horrifying when you think carefully, implying the reality that we are unwilling to accept but have to face in many cases."

"Actually, in the story, many children grew up like Kang Jie. Their youth was accompanied by loneliness, gloom, confusion, sadness, and pain. The breakdown of their families, the departure of relatives, and school violence...forced those children to grow up early. Big, bid farewell to innocent childhood in advance."

"For this group of people, growing up is a scary thing. It's so scary that they have to face too much cruelty in reality. It's no less terrifying than meeting a monster who loves to tell scary fairy tales in the middle of the night and catches fire when angry. Funny tree monster!"

"Editor-in-Chief, this should be the scariest and the warmest fairy tale in our Fairy Tale World."

Hearing Su Qin's evaluation, Zhou Qing couldn't help but nodded.

Because he thought the same way, he couldn't help but add, "This story is more like a fairy tale for adults."

"The tree-shaped monster tore off the mask of the fairy tale, let Kang Jie see the truth, and told him that the world is not perfect, but as long as he is strong enough and brave enough, he can calmly face all the unsatisfactory things in the world."

Thinking of the end of the story, Kang Jie's brows were still furrowed and his expression was still sad, but facing his dying mother, he had let go of his guilt.He is also willing to try to get along with grandma.

Kang Jie's sadness did not disappear, but Zhou Qing could clearly feel an inspiring force!

Because, in the end, everything succeeded, and Kang Jie opened up his heart, expressing his repressed guilt towards his mother and hesitation in his heart, and successfully passed what may be the most difficult hurdle in growing up.

"Eleven, this "When a Monster Knocks at the Door" written by you is really wonderful."

……

"Fairy Tale World" soon took Bao Shiyi's "When a Monster Knocks on the Door" as the main manuscript again, and published a long series.

The editor-in-chief Zhou Qing and Su Qin were moved by this story, because there are many wonderful places in it, but they didn't know that this story made Bao Shiyi also poke the darkest secret in his heart.

"Many facts sound like lies", and some lies are said out of goodwill as a last resort.

In the story, people always tell Kang Jie over and over again, "Mom will be fine", but the fact is just the opposite...

So, what will the reality of Bao Shi be like?
People will be fragmented in the face of life and death.

Fear and pain are inevitable, but what if Bao Shiyi only has the dark side in his heart?

At that time, was it true——

The monster is knocking on the door.
