Chapter 397 [Blocking cruelty]

PS: A long time ago, I was thinking about whether to write this when it was about to end, and I was hesitant and entangled...

I still write...

Someone may have forgotten...

--------------

A wave of banning Bao Eleven and banning Bao Eleven's works appeared on the Internet. Such remarks appeared one after another. Originally, it was only Zhou Fang's proposal to block, but now in other netizens' forwarded remarks, Bao Shiyi was also admitted. Eleven's works carry strong negative energy.

If such negative energy continues to be allowed to spread and spread, it is very likely to cause very bad effects.

In their view, such negative energy should not appear.

Netizens started heated discussions because of these issues. Pessimistic and hopeless things should not appear in those topics. Such stories should be blocked and banned.

Just like what Xu Qi said to Xu Wanqing, just like what netizens worried, it will cause bad repercussions and make people think hard.

But they simply don't know that it is never the story that really makes people think about it, but life.

If we want to ban Eleven and those pessimistic and hopeless stories, it should be to ban those cruel realities.

Just like Shen Ming back then, the reason why he planned to commit suicide and had the urge to end his own life was because he had advanced liver cancer. At such a young age, he could not see the possibility of surviving, so he chose to end his life early. I don't want to be tortured by those pains again.

Otherwise, who would choose to commit suicide?

Apparently, many netizens also understood this point, and they all stood by Bao Shiyi's side, speaking for Bao Shiyi, opposing those bans and attacking Bao Shiyi's remarks.

"The work is sad and desperate, but so what. There is a saying that reality is always more exciting than stories. If the despair of reality can be banned, then what is the cruelty and pessimism in forbidden novels?"

"Stories are just stories after all. If we don't even dare to face such stories, then what's the point of facing reality."

"If you want to ban eleven's works, then you should ban works like "The Melting Pot", "Suyuan", "Confession", "Nobody Knows", "Crime in the Pastoral"...the crime and cruelty behind those stories .”

"Since he was known as the conscience of the literary world when he wrote "The Melting Pot" in November, I have always supported him, because he has always dared to write those sad stories that he dared not write, just like that. The story of the story is in front of us, so that we can not laugh."

……

"If you want to ban Eleven, then you should ban those tragedies that shouldn't happen in reality."

"Why block Eleven? Eleven has always been warm. The tragedy of the story is just to remind us not to have a tragedy like the one in the story."

"If it's all heartwarming comedy, then I really can't imagine the stories of self-deception."

"The stories written by Eleven have always been heart-warming. Anyway, in my opinion, he just wants us to pay attention to those warmth."

……

There are many such remarks, especially Bao Shiyi's fans are unprincipled on Bao Shiyi's side.

As they said, if the tragedies in the stories are to be banned, and the cruel despair and pessimism are to be obliterated, then what kind of courage do you have to face the cruelty in real life.

In the eyes of netizens, the reason why Bao Shili's story carries such strong negative energy is because of the truth of the story.

Eleven in "The Life of the Disliked Pine Nut" tells the story of his aunt. Even though he knows that the story does not exist, it is still so real, so real that it makes people despair and real that makes people heartache.

Because that kind of reality is too cruel, so cruel that everyone realizes that reality is such cruelty, living like a pine nut who is disgusted.

……

……

2023, October.

Liucheng, Nanzhong Street.

Xu Wanqing looked at Bao Shiyi and said in a low voice, "Eleven, do you know?"

"My aunt won't let me read your novel anymore, saying that she is afraid that I will be overwhelmed after reading it."

Bao Shili naturally knew this very well.

Now there are a lot of debates about this on the Internet. Bao Shiyi knows that those people are worried that after reading the story he wrote, they will end up in despair and commit suicide, but this kind of ending is now secretly growing in his heart, and that is what he thinks in his heart .

There is no other reason, it is really such a selfish idea.

He wants to live.

Bao Shiyi glanced at Xu Wanqing, and couldn't help asking: "Then what did you say?"

Xu Wanqing shook her head, and said honestly: "I don't know, I really don't know, I knew in my heart that watching "The Life of the Disliked Pine Nut" would definitely be very sad in the end, but after some hesitation, I still went to watch it. I felt like I was really masochistic."

"Obviously knowing that the stories you wrote are cruel, but I still read them. Lin Ge laughed at me, and I also felt that I didn't need to do this at all. But what to do, I still couldn't hold back."

Hearing Xu Wanqing's words, Bao Shiyi was noncommittal and just twitched his lips.

"Eleventh, there are people on the Internet who want to ban your work now, because the stories you write are too pessimistic, desperate, too cruel, full of negative energy, and make people want to commit suicide. Do you know what is happening online about you? topic of?"

Bao Shiyi shook the mobile phone in his hand, indicating that he has been watching news topics on Weibo.

In fact, what he has been thinking is that so many people said that after reading his story, they would be overwhelmed and commit suicide, but why no one has actually happened. If such a tragedy really happened, it means that he does not need to write such a story. tragedy.

"Then you're not worried?"

Xu Wanqing looked at the content on the screen of Bao Shiyi's phone, and saw Bao Shiyi's face was calm, as if he didn't care about the comments on the Internet that said he would be banned.

Bao Shiyi turned his head to look at Xu Wanqing, frowned slightly, and asked directly: "Do you have the urge to die after watching "The Life of the Disliked Pine Nut"?"

"It's what you said you can't think about it, commit suicide?"

Xu Wanqing was taken aback, very surprised that Bao Shiyi asked her this question so directly, she shook her head, remembering the story of "The Life of the Disliked Songzi", she really cried, her heart ached, and she felt sorry for Songzi , but no matter how uncomfortable she was, she didn't have any urge to think about suicide.

"No, I don't think so."

"Although the story is sad, it's just sad, and the story is just a story."

Bao Shiyi glanced at Xu Wanqing, and in his heart he very much agreed that the stories Xu Wanqing told were just stories. What he wanted was for someone to finish his novel and commit suicide out of despair. Such a thing would be very difficult to happen after all.

"However, you should try not to write such cruel stories on Eleventh. You can try to write some warm comedies, just like the previous "I Fight Cancer". Those people will not say that you have been writing tragedies gone."

Bao Shiyi didn't speak.

The whole person sat up straight, staring at the phone screen in shock, his eyes were a little dazed, with disbelief.

Just like that, holding the phone tightly.

"Eleven, what's wrong?"

Seeing that Bao Shiyi was silent, Xu Wanqing suddenly became a little strange, and asked, "Why didn't you speak?"

……

One second of silence, two seconds of silence.

Then, still silent...

In the endless silence, there is endless sadness and depression, and in that depression, there is a desperate negative energy growing crazily.

That is sorrow, that is despair, that is pain, that is endless death.

For a long time, really long, Bao Shiyi didn't speak, just stared blankly at the phone screen, as if in a daze.

Xu Wanqing waved her hand in front of Bao Shiyi, and asked, "What's the matter, why are you so dazed?"

"What are you looking at?"

Bao Eleven's face turned pale just like that, his eyes no longer had the sneer at first, it seemed that all his thoughts disappeared at this moment.

Bao Shiyi felt that his mind was blank, but his soul was trembling.

It's really cold, it's cold...

Bao Shishi shivered, turned his head numbly to look at Xu Wanqing, and asked, "Did you mean cruel just now?"

Xu Wanqing frowned slightly. She didn't understand what happened to Eleven. She asked the question when she heard it, but she nodded and said, "I told you not to write those cruel stories. The stories are too cruel."

"cruel?"

The chills on Bao Shiyi's body stood on end at this moment, he was shaking all over, his left hand holding the mobile phone shook, his voice became sad and deep like that, and he asked softly: "Squad leader, do you know what cruelty is?" ?"

In other words, the voice is cold.

It's like the chill from the deepest part of hell, such a chill that chatters teeth and trembles all over the body.

The unspeakable cold, so piercing and intense, seemed to freeze all of Bao Shiyi's blood.

Xu Wanqing was taken aback, completely unaware of what Eleven Questions meant. After thinking for a while, she couldn't help but reply: "It means that your story should not be so pessimistic or hopeless, so that netizens won't tell you about your story." would want to commit suicide."

"Anyway, don't be too cruel to the protagonist of the story."

……

Bao Shiyi put down his phone, he really felt cold and shivered.

He wanted to stand up and take a few steps, but Bao Shiyi felt his whole body go stiff, and when he heard Xu Wanqing's words, he showed an expression that seemed to be crying but not a smile, and replied in a hoarse voice, "Squad leader, what do you know?" called cruelty."

"You really don't know what cruelty is."

"What is cruelty? What is cruelty?"

"Snapped!"

Just like that, Bao Shiyi suddenly raised his hand and slapped himself, and then his choked up voice suddenly turned into a cry, and he cried, "You don't even know what cruelty is!"

"I do not know either!"

Bao Shiyi sat on the ground abruptly and began to cry with a sad voice and tears all over his face.

He now feels like he's dying from heartache.

Really, at this very moment, he really felt so painful, so uncomfortable, so desperate...

He had thought about it and been tempted, but no one committed suicide because of his story, and he didn't know if he really saw that person who wanted to commit suicide like Shen Ming, would he stop it, or would he just watch the person who wanted to commit suicide? People commit suicide.

But at this moment, when he saw the news, he regretted it, and his heart really hurt, like a knife was cutting him.

"Crazy, why can't you collect the negative energy value of these people, why, why, why..."

This was the only thought that repeatedly appeared in Bao Shiyi's mind.

If he can collect the negative energy value of the 26-year-old mother, that kind of despair value, and the fear value of those children, will he be able to stop it?
……

"Eleven, eleven, what's wrong with you?"

Xu Wanqing saw that Bao Shiyi slapped herself suddenly, and cried again, startled, completely unaware of what happened.

The whole person looked as if he suddenly went crazy.

What happened?

Xu Wanqing was terrified by Bao Shiyi's appearance, and quickly squatted down, wanting to ask Bao Shishi.

"Eleven, what's the matter? Is it a stomachache?"

Bao Shiyi clutched his stomach. He only felt cramps and cramps in his stomach. It was really a kind of suffocation that he couldn't breathe. Tears overflowed his eyes involuntarily, just like that year, and kept flowing down...

He was in pain all over his body now, and he was really trembling with pain, and the intense wringing pain made him breathless.

Really suffocating.

"I'm fine, fine, what's wrong with me."

"What reason do I have, I can't say..."

If you can only live to be 24 years old, it will be very painful, and it will be difficult to face, then the dead life, how painful it is for the mother who is now 26 years old.

To think that other people can't take it easy, so desperate that he committed suicide so that he could live on...

He wanted to live, but if that mother could, why didn't she want to live?
Bao Shiyi murmured with a half-crying voice, "What kind of cruelty am I? What is it!"

……

What is cruelty.

What is Suicide?

What is despair?
What is despair to suicide?

It was such a cruel reality that appeared in front of everyone, naked and dripping with blood...

How can cruelty be banned?

A piece of cold news clearly appeared on the screen of the mobile phone placed on the coffee table——
