Chapter 2 Introduction to a Prototype Novel of Gods and Monsters

In late December 1937, the local newsletter page of the Shanghai Ta Kung Pao published a letter from Taiwan.It is said that thirteen Japanese explored in Taiwan, eleven of them died without knowing where they were going, and only two survived and came back. The writing is very mysterious.The full text is as follows: This communication, which is well said, does not seem to be entirely based on Xiangbi's fiction.As long as there is a bit of authenticity, the universe is really big, and there are no wonders.Although the story is very short, it contains all the elements of ghost novels: horror, mystery, eerie, weird and so on.It's like a rudimentary novel about ghosts and ghosts written by the master of Huanzhu.

Now is the era of prosperous science, but in terms of the vastness of the universe, the intelligence of human beings to overcome nature is still very limited after all.There is no such thing as humbleness, and even a mystery of life and death that is most concerned by human beings has not yet been solved.Who is immortal?Why do you have to die?Why can't you not die?Who knows what it's like after death?Why can't it be revived?So ghost novels survive under these question marks. The universe is a big mystery, and ghost novels are popular novels in the age of scientific prosperity, and they are just a small mystery.
