The famous mystery novelist Ayatsuji Yukito's series "The Doll House Incident" tells the story of the painter Fei Long Xiangyi who inherited his father's house in Jingdong, which is called the Doll Hall because of the large number of dolls in the house. Soon after Fei long wanted to stay in the doll house, he received a threatening letter, which began as a beginning, and a story that had been immersed for 28 years was gradually kicked off, and the real xiangyi was constantly being stripped of its mask.
In this story, Ayatsuji not only pays attention to portraying the protagonist, but also constantly exposes the darkness and light hidden under human nature through the performance of supporting roles.
Speculative novelist Ayatsuji Yukito
In the doll house, there is a tenant named Tsujii Snowman, who is a distant cousin of Xiangyi and a young novelist with a small reputation. However, it was this very good neighbor in the eyes of outsiders who killed four children in a row for two years, with heinous cruelty.
The cause of the Tsujii Snowman case is nothing more than a trivial matter. The nature of the snowman's work determines that he needs a quiet creative environment, but whenever he wants to create with peace of mind, there will be children playing outside the window from time to time, interrupting his hard-won inspiration and confusing him.
In the long run, children who play seem to be the shadow in the heart of the snowman. Even if he is not in the creation, even if he is just hanging out, whenever he sees children, it will arouse repressed hatred and make him eager to kill all children.
Maybe it was the arrangement of fate, or maybe the darkness in the heart could no longer be suppressed. On the way to conceiving the plot of the novel, he is once again interrupted by a noisy child, and the surging anger makes him lose his mind and can no longer control his actions.
When he regained a little rationality, he found that the child under him was looking at him with fear in his eyes, but he did not breathe. The snowman did not feel the onslaught of guilt, but had a sense of relief, and he threw the child into the hidden ditch next to him with some disgust and went straight back to the residence.
Sin did not bother the snowman, but made his mind flutter. His inspiration burst like a tidal wave, and he wrote like a soul, creating more than a dozen pages in one breath. For him, I don't know how long it had been since he had been sweating so hard, and that feeling of being a novelist was back.
However, the good times did not last long, and this good state lasted for a few days, and the creative inspiration faded again. The depressed snowman sat at his desk, and the receding darkness was once again stirred up by the noisy children outside the window.
Sin has only two endings: the first time and punishment. The snowman once again killed a child, and the creative inspiration for the novelist burst forth again.
Enjoying this feeling, he sinks to the bottom and plunges himself into the dark hell and becomes the spokesman of the devil.
Benguet mystery novelist Kiyoharu Matsumoto
The people of the world, the so-called human beings, are divided into two sides, yin and yang, the product of the fusion of light and darkness, and the two are entangled with each other, mixed together and difficult to distinguish.
The moral cultivation of the day after tomorrow is a vicious shackle that binds, and when this shackle is opened one day, the source of evil hidden behind the darkness will occupy human nature and turn the living person into a demon from hell.
The noise of normal play is a very subtle, even trivial, trivial matter compared to the brutal killing of four children by Tsujii Snowman. But it was this corner that others didn't care about in the eyes of others that opened this hell demon cage and allowed the viciousness of Tsujii Snowman to escape to the world.
There has never been complete good, and there has never been complete evil, but human nature is a combination of yin and yang, complementing each other, and blending with each other to constitute a natural person who is full of qi and peace.
