I really don't want to be a novelist

Chapter 64
When reading this episode in the book,
The reader's emotions can't help but fluctuate with the content of the book,
I will be moved by the people who are still holding on in the dark.

You can also feel angry at the behavior of wantonly indulging your inner evil person.

But throughout the novel, the most feeling is actually depression.

Touched and angry are just interludes, depression and even depression are the main theme of the whole novel.

Readers also seem to be able to feel the strong sense of claustrophobia brought about by blindness from between the lines.
Reading novels is like squatting in a narrow and deep hole,

Couldn't stand up, couldn't get down, turned around,
Only occasional touching or angry interludes can allow readers to find a rare outlet for their oppressed emotions.

implied in the text.

A time, but a few days, after the loss of sight of all mankind,

Some sophisticated instruments began to have some problems due to the loss of human maintenance.

This is reflected in the usual communication between the protagonist and experts and professors in some conferences at that time.

These experts are all cutting-edge researchers in various fields and have a better understanding of some cutting-edge research fields.

Most of the research instruments required in these cutting-edge research fields require human maintenance.

When talking about this, all the experts sighed or remained silent.

The future may only get worse and worse. When these instruments are completely broken, whether human beings have the ability to manufacture them is already a problem.
And most research requires instruments and equipment.

And besides this,
The article also uses another angle,
Another thing was described.

A very common thing.

It is through the perspective of the protagonist Xu Hua,
First, through the visually impaired mode of the mobile phone, I heard a message from a user on a blog.

"...There seems to be something wrong with my phone. Sometimes it doesn't play the sound."

Then through this sentence,
The perspective temporarily switches to that of the user.

This user fumbles with his phone,

Send this message by voice,
After sending it out, he repeatedly touched the screen where the writing should be,
But after a few touches, it was just one or two times that the phone broadcast the message he sent in the visually impaired mode.

At this time, the person who sent the message was panicked.

Because he lives alone.

After all human beings lost their eyesight and everyone stayed away for a while,

The only thing he can communicate with the outside world is this mobile phone.

Since the blindness of all mankind, he has lived alone at home.

I followed the speech of the head of state at that time, and never went out again.

He once fell down repeatedly in his familiar house,

But no one else could come to help him. After he recovered, he groped for the wall again, and some fixed things stood up again.

Because there was no food reserve at home, before the disaster, he always ate takeaway.

When he fumbled for his phone and subconsciously clicked on the delivery app,
Only then did I suddenly remember that everything had changed, the whole world had changed.

In the end, he just found a small half bag of rice that he didn't know when he bought it at home, and it was already moldy under the cupboard.

In the early stage of the disaster, many places failed to take care of it. Even if the country had reserves of food and resources, it could not distribute them.

He ate nothing but rice at home for three full days before he waited for a soldier to bring him new food.

Perhaps sometimes disasters can make people stronger,

He didn't think it was a big deal, and he stayed at home alone for seven days.

It wasn't until his only means of communicating with the outside world began to malfunction that he began to panic.

But at this time, what he still thinks about is to continue living,

So he posted a post, looking for someone who could repair the phone.

But in the text,

In the end they were not found.

Someone even offered to give him a brand new mobile phone because of his post.

But in the end, he sat paralyzed on the floor of the living room because of a piece of news from one person,
Weeping uncontrollably.

"...Sorry...I might be able to repair the fault of this phone before, but I can't see it now...I probably guessed why it was faulty, but I don't know what else I can do now... ..."

This news made him cry.

Maybe this was just the last straw that broke him,
Maybe it's just from the moment when all mankind was blinded, he lost hope and just continued to live with inertia,
The helpless grievances were buried in the bottom of my heart and never expressed, but everyone's grievances were detonated at this time.

He suffers, suffers.

he cried,

"...my phone is broken...no one can fix it anymore, and I don't have a phone anymore."

Maybe it's not the mobile phone that's crying, but the civilization that was prosperous enough to easily repair mobile phones and make new mobile phones.

And maybe,
In fact, the entire human civilization in this article is the same.

Everyone is just holding a kind of inertia, and has not fully accepted the fact that all human beings are blind.

And over time.Every little thing in life is reminding them,

All mankind is blinded, and human civilization seems to be ending in this way.

And this short story,
Just a small corner of the whole world.

……

The story continues to develop in this atmosphere.

Then there was the far-reaching rape case.

It wasn't until the tenth day after the burglary and rape that the case finally came to light.

Clues and evidence come from two aspects,

Experts in artificial intelligence checked all the monitoring screens of the entire community through the program.

The suspect was not wearing any clothes when he went to the scene of the crime.
And the victim cannot get any information from the suspect's clothing.

But also because he is not wearing clothes, when the body appears in the monitoring screen, the tone is monotonous,

Let the identification program easily identify whether the criminal suspect appeared in the monitoring screen at that time,

In order to distinguish it from other persons who may appear in the monitoring.

It means that the suspect is under monitoring, and there is a special identification point in the identification of the identification program.

With this, by checking all the monitoring screens.

The possibility of committing crimes by personnel from other buildings and units in the community was ruled out.

In other words, the suspect was in the same building as the victim,

In this way, as well as other information, the scope of the suspect was locked to an extremely small range.

That is, in the same building as the victim, with a height of 163 to 180, a normal build, short hair, and a high probability of living alone.

On the other hand, another expert,
In the process of tireless blind sampling and blind testing,
After repeated attempts, finally in the test substance extracted from the victim,
Different DNA was identified.

finally,
In such a difficult situation, people still maintain order,

Catch the assailant.

As inferred by the suicide policeman at the time, the perpetrator was a man in his 30s who lived alone.

In the text,

Also mentioned a few words,

When the case was declared closed,

Some doubts of the protagonist Xu Hua,
He was afraid that under such circumstances, he would be forced to make some choices instead of really cracking the case.

But on second thought, Xu Hua gave up on this idea,

Because the most important thing for the authorities in this case is to give a convincing result,

Instead of adding to the doubts of all who are in the dark,
Then this case must have been solved, and even every step can stand scrutiny.

In the text,

The plot is still going on,
After writing two or three more subtleties brought about by the blindness of all mankind,
After seeing the big story from the small,

Just when it was put on the shelves,
The story of "Seven Days of Hell" has its first major turning point.
