Half of July just passed two days ago, which is the Ghost Festival! During the Ghost Festival, reading horror novels is so exciting. Even though I know it is a made-up story, I still break out in a cold sweat after reading it!
's "Weirdo's Book of Bizarre Events: Basement Cage" tells the story of a basement that can never be escaped. The book is a reprint. The first edition was published by Modern Publishing House in January 2016. The book is called "Super Brain-basement".
The author Cai Bigui is a member of Guangdong Provincial Writers Association. He is a famous writer of suspense novels and once used the pen name Uncle Ghost. The stories he writes have varied narrative styles and great imagination. This story combines modernity + time travel + horror. The story has ups and downs and is so weird!
Are there some strange people around you with some quirks? For example, Brother Shui always carries a camouflage backpack, no matter spring, summer, autumn or winter, no matter where he goes, he never changes it. What's even weirder than the backpack is that wherever he goes, he always puts the backpack on his right side to occupy a seat, and never lets anyone sit on his right side.
Brother Shui is the chief planner of a game company. He suddenly resigned from the company three years ago and sold his car. Since then, he has had the habit of occupying seats with a backpack. Brother Shui and his friends were very curious about the story. During a trip, they managed to find out the secret of Brother Shui's quirks.
The story happened one day three years ago. Brother Shui worked overtime at the company until about 3 a.m. and went down to the garage on the third underground floor. When he was about to drive home, he heard a woman coming from the trunk of the dilapidated Santana in the parking space next door. The voice calling for help.
Brother Shui found security guard Xiao Chen and used a crowbar to pry the trunk of the car. The trunk was empty except for a mysterious note, which read in pinyin "Don't trust the security guard, and don't trust me - Shirley"
Later, strange things happened one after another. The watch and timer stopped at 3:15, the elevator did not go up to the first floor, and no matter how hard I drove, I always went back and forth on the third underground floor. Later, Brother Shui also encountered a man who had been sleepy since Thursday. Chef Xiao Wang here, Shirley and Lolita who were trapped on Saturday.
The five of them formed a self-rescue team and wanted to escape from this basement prison. Later, they discovered the Terracotta Warriors and Horses of the Qin Dynasty, traveled back to the Qin Dynasty, and found out the origins of the past and present lives. It turned out that they were all ministers looking for a way to live forever for the Qin Shihuang...More details of the story , I won’t give any spoilers. Interested friends can read the book.
There is a sentence in the story that impressed me deeply. Brother Shui said: The most terrifying thing about listening to stories is that it blurs the boundaries between stories and reality. You think you are the person listening to the story, but in fact you are in the story!
Everyone wants to live forever. When you truly realize immortality, in the chaotic time and space, infinite reincarnation, and want to die but cannot die, that is the real horror.
"True is also false and false is also true!" How to distinguish true from false? It's better for people to live only one life.
