Chapter 16 tv nationals

"TV Nation" broke into my house on Sunday evening.The season is spring.I think it's probably spring!All in all, it was a season that was neither cold nor hot. Honestly, though, the season isn't the big issue in this matter.The important thing is that it was Sunday evening. I don't like Sunday evenings.Because, everything that comes with it - especially Sunday evenings - always makes me upset.My head starts to ache when it gets closer to Sunday dusk.The degree of pain varies from time to time.But the pain remained the same, albeit in varying degrees.It usually starts from feeling a soft white mass of flesh within a centimeter or a centimeter and a half of the temples on both sides produces a wonderful spasm. It feels like an invisible thread is drawn from the center of the mass of flesh. Someone Grab the end of the thread at the far end, and gently pull taut.Although it didn't hurt very much, it felt like a long needle was slowly being inserted into a deeply anesthetized part.

Then I heard a voice.No, it's not so much a sound, it's better to say it's an extremely heavy creaking sound in the dark.That voice sounded like "Cruz ya-a, Cruz ya-a", that was the initial symptom.Then came the headache.Then, the field of view is also slightly tilted.Like a turbulent tide, the premonition pulls the memory, and the memory triggers the premonition.A crescent moon hangs high in the sky, but the root seedlings of doubt crawl forward in the dark land.People were deliberately walking down the corridor loudly, as if they were mocking me."Pi Li Ba La" keeps coming from my ears

footsteps. That's why "TV National" broke into my house on Sunday evening.Like melancholy thoughts, or a little distracted, silent falling rain, they sneaked in from the dark side of time. First of all, I would like to explain the appearance of "TV Nation". The body shape of "TV Nation" is slightly smaller than the average person.Not much smaller, just slightly smaller.Probably, right, about 20% or 30% smaller. And all parts of the body are evenly scaled down.So, rather than saying it is relatively small, it is more appropriate to use the word "minimize".

Perhaps, even if you've seen "TV Nationals" somewhere, you don't notice their smaller size at first.However, if you have seen them before, it should leave a very strange impression.Maybe it can be said to be an uncomfortable impression! "I always feel something is wrong! ’ You must think so.So, you can't help but want to take a closer look at them.Although there is nothing unnatural at first glance, but the more you think about it, the more something is wrong.In other words, the "small" of "TV National" is completely different from the "small" of children or midgets.When we see a child or a dwarf, the reason why we think they are small mostly comes from the imbalance of their body shape.They are indeed small, but not every part of the body shrinks evenly.There are also people whose hands are small but whose heads appear large in proportion.That's a very common phenomenon.However, the "TV National" is completely different from this. "Television Nation" is like a replica of a reduced image, everything is reduced mechanically and regularly according to the actual size.For example, the height is reduced to ○.Seven, the shoulder width is also reduced to ○.seven.Similarly, the size of the feet, the circumference of the head, the size of the ears, and even the length of the fingers are all in accordance with ○.The ratio of seven is reduced.It looks like a delicate plastic model that is slightly smaller than the real thing.

Or, it can also be said that they look like models made by using the distance method.It is clearly in front of your eyes, but it looks like you are in the distance; like a fake painting, you can't touch the place that should be touched.Things that should be out of reach are within reach. That is "TV Nation".That is "TV Nation".That is "TV Nation".That is "TV Nation".There are three of them in total. They neither knocked nor knocked.Not to mention "how are you?" ’ Then sneaked into the house a little bit.Nor could their footsteps be heard.One of them opened the door, and the other two held the TV.It was a small TV.It is a Sony brand, a very ordinary color TV.I had probably locked the door before, but I wasn't sure.Maybe I forgot to lock it.Because I didn't pay special attention to the door lock at that time, I was not sure whether the door was locked or not.I just thought it was probably locked!

When they came in, I was lying on the sofa staring at the ceiling in a daze.I am the only one left at home.That afternoon, the wife said she was going to have a party with her girlfriends.She said that a few old classmates from high school wanted to catch up and go to a restaurant for dinner together. "Would you like something to eat first?" ’ said my wife before leaving. "There are vegetables and various frozen foods in the refrigerator.You should be able to do it yourself!Also, just put the laundry in before dark. 』 "OK! "I say. Nothing at all!At most, it's just fixing dinner and collecting clothes. These are small things that can be settled in two or three strokes.

"What did you say? ’ my wife asked. "nothing! ’ I replied. So, in the afternoon, I just lay on the sofa alone in a daze.With nothing else to do, I read for a while—Gurschel-Max's new novel, listened to some music, and drank some beer.However, I couldn't concentrate on reading a book no matter what.So I thought I would lie on the sofa and take a nap!But I can't even concentrate on sleeping.So I just lay on the sofa and looked at the ceiling. me!Sunday afternoons always go by like this.No matter what you do, you will give up halfway, and you will not be able to follow through.Although in the morning, I still feel that everything will go well today.I think about this book, listening to this record, and answering a letter today.Today, I must tidy up the drawers, go out to buy some things, and wash the car that has not been washed for a long time.However, two o'clock passed, three o'clock passed, and the sun was about to sink, but I still got nothing done.So, I just lay helpless on the couch.The sound of the clock echoed in my ears.Di-A, Di-A, that kind of sound is like rainwater dripping from the eaves, which will gradually cut away the surrounding things.Dip-A, Dip-A.On a Sunday afternoon, everything seemed to shrink in size.It's almost like "TV Nation".

"TV Nation" has been ignoring me from the start.Looking at the expressions of the three of them, it seemed that I, lying there, did not exist at all.They opened the door and moved the TV into the room.Two of them had the TV on a corner sideboard, the other plugged it into a socket.There used to be a clock and mountains of magazines on the sideboard.The clock was a wedding present from a friend to my wife and I.The clock was big and heavy, as big and unwieldy as time itself, and it was so loud that the whole room could hear the loud ticking as the hour hand moved. TV Nation took the clock off the shelf and put it on the floor.I immediately thought that my wife would be furious because of this.She hates things in the house being moved around arbitrarily.As long as the same thing is not placed in

In the original place, she was very unhappy.Also, leave the clock on the floor and I'm bound to trip over it in the middle of the night. I always get up to go to the toilet after two o’clock in the middle of the night every day. Since I am still very sleepy, I can easily bump into things or trip over things.next. TV National also moved the magazines off the shelf and put them on the table.Those are all my wife's magazines (I barely read magazines, I only read books. I personally think that all the things called magazines in the world, it's better to disappear).Whether it's "Yale," "Marie Clear," or "Family Illustrated," they all belong to the same category of magazines.The magazines were stacked neatly on the sideboard.My wife doesn't like people touching her magazines either.She would also throw a tantrum whenever the order she had arranged was messed up.So I never touch her magazines.Didn't even turn it over.But "TV National" doesn't care about these at all. They move those magazines rudely and don't cherish those magazines at all.Although they just moved the magazines from the pantry rack to somewhere else.

But the order of the top and bottom of the folded magazines was messed up.For example, "Marie Claire" is placed on top of "Croissant", and "Family Illustrated" is placed under "Ann", which is wrong.Also, they scattered all over the place the bookmarks my wife had kept in some magazines.Where there is a bookmark, it is a page with important information for the wife.As to what kind of information it was or how important it was, I had no idea.I think it may be related to her work, or something personal.But, anyway, to her, it was Very important information.I think she will be furious!She will definitely say, it's rare for me to get together with my friends, and I'm in a happy mood, but I didn't expect you to make a mess of the house....I can recite almost all the lines she has to say.This is terrible!I think.Then shake your head.At last there was nothing on the cutlery shelf.Then, "TV National" put the TV there, plugged it into the wall outlet, and turned it on.The TV immediately made a rustling sound, and the picture went blank.After waiting for a while, still no image appeared.They use the remote control to turn

Change channel.However, no matter which channel the screen is, it is blank.Maybe it's not connected to the antenna!I think.There should be an antenna connection somewhere in the house!I remember when I first moved into this apartment, the caretaker seemed to tell me how to install the antenna.I seem to remember that he once said: Right here, just pick it up like this. But I can't remember where is that place?Since we don't have a TV in our house, I almost completely forgot about it. However, "TV Nation" seems to be completely uninterested in receiving broadcasts.They didn't even look at the antenna interface.Although the screen is still blank and the image does not appear, they still don't care.It seems that as long as they press the switch and turn the power to the "ON" position, they have achieved their goal. That TV is new.Although it is not in the box, it can be seen at a glance that it is brand new. The instruction manual and warranty are packed in a plastic bag, and scotch tape is pasted on both sides of the machine.The power cord glistened like a freshly caught fish. The three TV citizens inspected the white screen of the TV from all corners of the room.One of the TV Nationals approached me as if to confirm what the TV picture looked like from where I was sitting.The TV was right in front of me.The distance is also just right.They seemed satisfied and there was an air of work done.One of the "TV Nationals" (the one who walked up to me to check the TV screen) conveniently put the remote control on the table. During that time, "TV National" never said a word.They just seem to be following the established steps correctly.So there is no need to speak at all.Those three people were all step-by-step and completed their tasks with great efficiency.Their technique is clean and neat, and the time for homework is also very short.In the end, a "TV National" took the desk clock that was just casually placed on the floor in his hand, trying to find a suitable place to put it in the house, but couldn't find it, so he had to give up and put it back on the floor.Tick-tick, tick-tick, the clock continued to chime heavily on the floor.I live in a very cramped apartment, and my books and my wife's collections have piled up to the point where there is hardly any room left.One day I will definitely trip over that clock.As I thought about it, I couldn't help but sigh.good!I absolutely get tripped up.I can bet. The three "TV Nationals" were all wearing dark blue tops.Although I don't know what material it is, I can see that it is a very smooth cloth.Their lower bodies were dressed in blue jeans and tennis shoes.Their clothes and shoes are also slightly downsized.The statement that I gradually felt myself shrinking in size after watching their moving figures for a long time did not seem to be true.That feeling is like wearing deep glasses and riding a high-speed scooter behind your back.The surrounding landscape is distorted and upside down.Only then did I realize that the sense of balance in the world in which I was unconsciously placed before was not absolute. "Television Nation" can make people who see them feel this way. Until the end, "TV National" remained silent.The three of them checked the TV screen again, and after confirming that there was no problem, they used the remote control to turn off the power.The whiteness of the picture disappeared, and the slight rustling sound also disappeared.The picture returned to the original expressionless, slightly dark gray.Things have started to change outside the window.Someone's voice was calling outside.The apartment was walked by people.As usual, loud on purpose. The sound of leather shoes "cracking" can be clearly heard.It's Sunday evening. The "TV Nationals" looked around the room again, as if they were doing a final check, then opened the door and walked out. As when they came, they paid no attention to me.They act like I don't even exist. From the time I came in to the time I left TV National, I didn't move, and I didn't say a word the whole time.I just lay on the sofa and watched them work.Maybe you will say that is too unnatural.Strangers broke into the room suddenly, and three people came together, and turned on a TV without authorization. I didn't say anything, just watched all this silently.Isn't this a bit strange?However, I did not say anything.Just silently watching the progress of things.I think maybe it's because they completely ignore me Bar!If others stand in the same position as me, they will probably do the same!By saying this, I don't mean to defend myself.It's just that when the person in front of you completely ignores your existence in that way, you will gradually lose confidence in whether you are really there. Even when you accidentally see your hand, you feel that the hand seems to be there. is transparent.It was a feeling of powerlessness, like being held by a spell.My own body and self-existence gradually become transparent.So I couldn't move or speak.I can only watch those three "TV nationals" turn on the TV The video is in my room.I can't speak.Because I'm afraid to hear my own voice. After "TV National" went out, I was left alone in the room again.My sense of being was restored.My hands became my own again.When he came back to his senses, he realized that the twilight had already been engulfed by darkness.I turned on the light in the room and closed my eyes.The TV is still there.The clock was still ticking.Dip-tap, tick-tap.
