Chapter 174 Would anyone envy being in a sparsely populated area?

[Do you know why most Chinese people are not interested in Cruel novels and do not find them scary? ]

[Because most people who read these novels live in cities, there are people upstairs and downstairs, the Cainiao Express Station is also crowded with people, all supermarket checkouts have queues, and the entrance of the Snow King is full of people buying ice cream cones. ]

[This way, even if he lives alone, he won't feel lonely. Sitting at home, he can smell cooking upstairs and frying fish downstairs. When he goes out, there are neighbors all over the yard, and people walking their dogs in the morning and evening. The bus to and from get off work is extremely crowded, there are no seats on the subway, and there are no parking spaces. ]

[You live among the crowd at all times. When you shout, dozens of people will stick their heads out. Even in the dead of night, when you open the curtains, there will definitely be lights on the other side. There are people running around at night, people walking their dogs, and errand boys delivering midnight snacks.]

[In a newly developed community with an occupancy rate of less than 10%, there is only one person in the building, and there is only one household in the building opposite. If his family hasn't finished get off work and hasn't turned on the lights, it will be dark at a glance.]

[Only one road has street lights, the other is pitch black. In the early spring evenings, there is fog all around, and everything is quiet. The tall buildings in the distance become mysterious against the thick fog.]

[The smell of this Crusoe comes up all of a sudden, making people shudder]

"Living alone means living alone in a room [doge], not living alone in a place with no one around for hundreds of kilometers"

"[Sad] If there aren't many people, I'm worried that the shops selling jelly, fried rice, barbecue, ice cream, rice noodles, noodles, fried dough sticks, cakes, and chestnuts will close."

“I’ve had enough of living in the quiet and deserted mountainous areas when I went back to my hometown [laughing and crying].

In the city, I like rain the most, listening to the sound of raindrops knocking on the shed somewhere. In my hometown, I am most afraid of rain, with thunder and lightning, and the shadows of the trees twisting and waving on the not-so-sturdy wooden windows. The wind blows through the roof of the bungalow, through the cracks in the door, and under the bed. All the movable doors bang, and there is also a howling outside. The bed is a high four-post bed, and the quilt is also a little damp. I am worried that the monster outside will break through the door and come in, and I am also afraid that the pillars will suddenly fall down. Finally, I shrink into the quilt to hide my feet, and fall asleep while worrying. "

“In the past 20 years, when the mask outbreak occurred, the nature of my job required me to run around at the guard post, at the unit, and at the prevention and control center every day.

As a result, I found that this city, which is usually bustling with many tourists, has completely become a dead city. It is not too obvious during the day, but it is absolutely terrible at seven or eight o'clock in the evening. The streets are empty, with only flashing traffic lights, and even the traffic police are nowhere to be seen.

Every shop was closed and dark, the roadside was littered with dead branches and leaves. Occasionally, one or two people would pass by in a hurry and their faces could not be seen clearly. I could hear even the slightest movement (I turned around and saw a cat climbing over the wall).

And there was fog for no apparent reason that day. The fog wasn’t thick, but the atmosphere made me feel inexplicably excited and indescribable fear at the same time.

I took a lot of photos that day, and even without adding filters they all looked like screenshots from horror movies. I had always been particularly annoyed by crowds of people, but that was the first time in my life that I thought, “More people is not bad.”

What I felt most indescribable was that my phone fell into the pool the same night I got home after taking the photos, and everything was formatted when I repaired it. . . . "

"You are the NPC who passed by the protagonist in the novel of the K-series. They beat you up and then helped you erase your memory and wipe out the traces in your phone."

“So the more ghost towns there are, the less people are willing to buy houses there. Liking loneliness is a protective color. It doesn’t mean you can overcome true loneliness. Being lonely in a crowd and being lonely in an Arakawa are two different concepts.”

The people living in the capital city also understand this feeling. After all, there is always a market for discussing matters concerning gods and ghosts wherever you are.

Isn’t it? Every night when I hear the night watchman on the street say “It’s dry, be careful with fire”, I get a little scared and dare not go out!

I was afraid that if I went out I would run into monsters from the Classic of Mountains and Seas, or encounter some strange things, so I had to wait until bright day before I dared to go out.

The fear is even greater among the people living in remote mountain villages.

There are very few people in our village. You can hardly see a single person at night.

So I like to talk and chat with my neighbors in the village, bask in the sun, and listen to the noisy sounds of people living in the streets and alleys. I feel comfortable and lively.

Otherwise, you'll feel lonely staying at home all day, with no human energy around you!
