There are no tomb-robbing novels in this world, so Raven and the others were confused when they heard the beginning of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp".

However, there is one thing to say. The text description at the beginning feels very real and has the flavor of the era. It is still in the first person...

Wait, first person?

After all these years, there are still people writing novels in the first person? !

The raven and the jackal looked at each other, frowned, and felt a little headache.

As expected of Qian Jian, he would never play his cards according to common sense and could never figure out what he was thinking.

Writing is roughly divided into first person and third person. The first person is writing from the perspective of the protagonist, that is, the perspective of "I" or "we". The advantage of this is that it can make the narrative more real and intimate, because it allows The author expresses his thoughts and emotions directly, thus shortening the distance between him and his readers.

But the disadvantages are also obvious. This will make readers feel confused and uncomfortable, because in first-person writing, the author usually describes the story from his own perspective instead of the reader's perspective, which will deprive the reader of the story world's understanding and involvement. feel.

It is also difficult for readers to truly participate in the story and establish connections and resonance with the story world.

Therefore, many readers hate first-person novels and will discard them as soon as they see them, regardless of what you write or how well you write them.

It’s so straightforward and decisive, because for these readers, the “first person” is their biggest sticking point.

Jackal frowned and said: "This book seems to be in the suspense and horror genre. It is a niche subject and has no fan base. Plus, with the first-person narrative, it may be difficult for it to become popular."

The raven was silent for a moment and said, "Listen again."

She also feels that Qian Jian's new book is not very reliable. Could it be that Qian Jian intends to change the subject and this is just an attempt?

But she suddenly remembered that when she first saw the book "The Master", she seemed to think it was not very reliable...

You can’t use common sense to speculate on Thousand Swords!

Raven calmed down and continued to listen carefully.

She believed that Qian Jian would not just write a book and send it directly to her.

On the computer, the intelligent AI continues to read:

[Hu Guohua had the most evil ideas. In order to deal with his uncle, he went home and found a craftsman in the village who could make paper figures and horses (the kind that are burned to the dead). This paper-making master is very skilled in craftsmanship. As long as you can name something, he can make it perfectly.

As required, he made a paper woman for Hu Guohua, which was framed with white paper. He also painted the eyebrows, nose, clothes and hair on the paper figure with watercolors. When he saw it from a distance, hey, it really looked like a living person. 】

Jackal leaned back, feeling a little uncomfortable.

Raven also felt a little spooky.

This kind of paper-shaped people usually look like nothing, but when you encounter them in a dark environment, or stare at them for a long time, you always feel that they are alive, and you may even have certain illusions, such as seeing their eyeballs. spinning around, eventually staring at you.

In psychology, this is called the "Uncanny Valley Effect", which means that when something is very similar to a natural, living person or animal, but not completely similar, people will have feelings of fear and disgust in their hearts.

The paper man is exactly a "human-like" thing.

The grandfather of the main character in the book actually carries a paper doll home to pretend to be his wife. This act is simply audacious.

Anyway, Raven felt that he would not dare to do this.

The two of them rubbed the goosebumps on their arms. Although they felt a little scared, their hearts were filled with curiosity.

What happens next? What happened to the protagonist’s grandfather later?

Mistrine and Prometheus were also focused and motionless, obviously deeply attracted by the plot in the book.

In the increasingly gloomy atmosphere, the voice on the computer continued:

[A few days later, his uncle came to visit his nephew and daughter-in-law. He bought some calico snacks and the like to see his nephew-in-law. Hu Guohua excused himself according to the pre-planned excuse, saying that his daughter-in-law was unwell and could not see guests, so he asked his uncle to reveal it at the door. He opened the door and took one look at the curtain before lowering it.

My uncle doesn't want to, so I can't just deal with your own uncle like this. I have to meet my new wife today. If she's sick, I'll pay for it to be treated by a doctor.

Hu Guohua refused to let him see him. The more he stopped, the more problematic he became. His uncle became more suspicious and started to argue. At this moment, the door curtain of the back room opened, and a fair-looking woman with a big face and slender legs came out. Hu Guohua's heart skipped a beat, oh, isn't this the paper figurine I asked someone to make? How is it alive? 】

Hearing this, all four people in the room took a breath.

In fact, it doesn't sound particularly scary, but thinking about this kind of thing makes people's scalp numb and makes their whole body feel uncomfortable.

Imagine that something you bought suddenly comes to life one day. Most people's first reaction will be fear or panic.

In the book, Hu Guohua also had this reaction: when he looked at the woman sitting opposite him, he felt as sick as if he had eaten a fly. Her face was very white, without any color at all, and the rosiness on her face was all rouge.

At this time, the entire company had left work, leaving only the four people on the Raven side and a lamp above their heads. The surroundings were dark, and the corridor was even darker, quieter, and pitch black.

Especially like scenes from urban horror stories.

The so-called "White Paper Man" is just a short story at the beginning of the novel, followed by "Rat Friend Smoking Big Smoking", which seems very humorous, but is actually very strange...

The first half of Jingjue Ancient City, all the way to the underground military fortress of Yerengou, is actually pieced together from folklore stories, with no clear main line relationship.

But even so, Raven and the others were fascinated by it and couldn't stop.

It's like listening to ghost stories told by the village elders. You never know whether these stories are true or false.

Sometimes, what you think is true is actually false, and what you think is false is often true.

Thinking hard.

When the story comes to the second half, the protagonist explores the Kunlun Mountains and the archaeological team enters the desert to search for the ancient city of Jingjue.

At this time, rich geographical and cultural elements began to appear in the novel.

Altitude sickness, avalanches, ice-free springs, deserts in the Western Regions, the Twin Sacred Mountains, the Peacock River, the Thirty-Six Kingdoms, Dunhuang murals, Loulan female corpses, etc. are all described.

All this knowledge that you would never hear people talk about is gathered in this magical novel.

A wonderful picture unfolded in front of the four people.
