Chapter 13: Plot Summary and Analysis

The sun began to gradually sink in the west. As she watched the sun, which represented light, sink a little bit in the horizon, Dong Ning's heart began to hang in the air. She was currently holding a rechargeable treasure to charge her cell phone. Currently, her cell phone was still in a no-signal state, unable to make a phone call, unable to network to see if there were any new updates to Black Ghosts. She pressed her temples at this time, and then, took out a hair band and put it on her head. Dong Ning began to organize the rough plot line of the entire book of Black Ghost Shadow in her mind. The male protagonist awakens in the Yuan family's murderous mansion, he loses all his memories, and because of his extreme resemblance to the owner of the Yuan family, he is judged by the villagers to be the missing Yuan family's youngest son, Yuan Ming. After that, the hero takes on the identity of Yuan Ming and lives in Yan Shen Village. The plot unfolds accordingly. Because the Yuan family treated the villagers extremely well and gave them the opportunity to work, the villagers in Yan Shen Village were also very kind to Yuan Ming. Yuan Ming, who was still unsure of his identity, began to live in Uncle Chen's house and helped Uncle Chen with his farming. As for the Yuan Family Residence, it was naturally impossible for him to live back there. Subsequently, in Yan Shen Village, he began to discover some bizarre phenomena, he began to find that some villagers who were supposed to be dead reappeared in front of him, while some seemingly simple villagers seemed to be hiding secrets. After he begins to experience a series of weird events, he decides to find out the secret of his birth and track down the truth of the Yuan family's bloodshed. The black ghostly shadow then reappeared in front of Yuan Ming. After the black ghost shadow appeared in front of Yuan Ming for the second time, the dog Wangcai of Uncle Chen's family died. At the same time, a very old man in the village also died on the same night. This old man had no other relatives, but his relationship with Uncle Chen was very good, so Uncle Chen and Yuan Ming went together to organize the relics. When organizing the relics, Yuan Ming found that the old man who passed away had always had the habit of writing a diary, and this habit had been maintained for decades, leaving behind a thick dozen or so volumes of diaries. The old man's diary was a great impetus to the plot of the book. Yuan Ming checked the diary from the year in which the murder and bloodshed occurred, and then discovered that the old man had once seen the exact same black ghostly figure that he had witnessed a week after the murder. After the black ghostly figure appeared, many strange things began to happen in the village. "Yes ……," Dong Ning began to mutter, "If it's the same as the novel's description, the situation in Blue Moon Village is different from Yan Shen Village. After the bloodshed of the extermination case, or the first appearance of the black ghostly shadow, the village has been experiencing all sorts of bizarre paranormal phenomena. That's why the young people of Yan Shen Village have been going outside, and the several surrounding villages are more or less aware of some of the village's strange happenings." According to the plot of the novel, the village's old men who had been buried in the earth would often reappear eerily in front of their loved ones, and even hover for a long time without leaving. However, they were not evil spirits and never killed others. Moreover, even though the dead will reappear after burial, the village has never changed the custom of burial, and the people of Yan Shen Village have retained the ancient concept of "leaving a whole body even after death", which, of course, has to do with the fact that the village's arable land is largely deserted, and there is no question of the graveyard occupying the arable land. Although the protagonist discovers a lot of strange phenomena, but until the third appearance of the black ghost, the village has not appeared in the ghost killed a living person. Instead, some of the dead reappeared instead because they couldn't leave their loved ones behind and didn't want to leave. Some of the sub-volume stories are also written with a warm and fuzzy feeling, quite similar to the style of Natsume's Friend's Book and Hyakki no Yakko's Copy. There are some people who believe that it is these writing styles with warmth, life-like, and occasionally more light-hearted and witty writing styles that have allowed Black Ghosts and Shadows to further subscriptions to break through to new highs and become a very out-of-the-circle masterpiece in the deep sea, so much so that it can make the entire internet hot, so that a lot of people who don't read web novels know about this book. But as soon as the black ghost shadow appeared, there would be horrible deaths. Moreover, after the appearance of the black ghosts and shadows, the dead souls that were otherwise quite warm and gentle would all transform into ferocious evil spirits and carry out inhumane killings. The warmth and depressing style creates a sense of fallout that makes many readers weep. Fukai is very good at plot padding, often seemingly bland and slow, and then suddenly the plot climaxes and still makes the reader feel that it is not abrupt. All in all, the story plot is basically a unit cozy spiritual story, and then every now and then another paragraph of black ghosts appear after the horror phenomenon as the plot pattern. Later on, when the villagers of Yan Shen Village and the protagonist try to escape, they find that the surrounding mountain paths are like ghosts hitting a wall, and how they can't get out of there, causing them to be trapped. Luckily, the village can rely on farming for self-sufficiency in food, so even if they can't escape, they won't starve to death. The latest episode was when the black ghosts and shadows began an unprecedentedly huge killing spree on Yan Shen Village. The village's remaining population begins to plummet, and by the latest chapter, only a very small number of people are still alive. The most evil evil spirits, and all the other evil spirits are all evil spirits transformed from those dead souls who are clinging to the yang world after being influenced by the black ghost shadow, so readers tend to sympathize with these evil spirits instead, and the warm strokes of the previous and the bloody cruelty of the later form a stark contrast. "Now, the question is ……" Dong Ning, who was holding his cell phone tightly, said, "Who exactly is the black ghostly figure? Is it someone from the village?" This is the biggest suspense of the book serialized until now. In the book Black Ghost Shadow, it was generally believed that the first time the black shadow appeared was a week after the Yuan family's extermination and bloodshed, so the black ghost shadow was bound to be associated with the extermination and bloodshed. The current analysis of the identity of the Black Shadow tends to be of three kinds. First, one of the dead of the Yuan family is the black shadow theory, second, one of the villagers is the black shadow theory (either deceased or still alive), and third, Yuan Ming himself is the black shadow theory. Currently long posts on the internet analyzing the identity of the Black Shadow are everywhere on Qidian.com, posting, Zhihu, Douban, Weibo, and especially after the recent news of Black Ghosts and Shadows being rumored to be filmed as a TV series by Long Hai Entertainment, the discussion is even more rapidly out of the loop. However, Deep Sea himself never made any official statements, and a discussion greatly drove the IP heat. Now the whole network to discuss the identity of the black shadow of the fever comparable to last year's Japanese drama "your turn" murderer identity analysis. However, Dong Ning always felt that this Internet discussion seemed to have been skewed. Netizens are highly blind and easy to follow the trend, capital is also happy to raise the heat to bring traffic, but the deep sea has never said that the black shadow has the so-called "true face". This point, both may be the blood letter mission of the life clues, but also just as likely to be a dead end trap. "Reality and fiction are still obviously vastly different at the moment." Ming Chen Yan also read those long posts on the internet to analyze, "In recent days, the hot search to discuss the true face of the black shadow has started to grow more and more, in terms of web novels this kind of heat is considered to be quite out of the loop, attracting a lot of passers-by who don't read web novels. And in reality …… Blue Moon Village is certainly not that massively dead, Dong Evil's that reader is clear evidence." "We can't be easily right." Dong Ning also remembered the dead end trap of the last Bloodletter "Earth Bound Spirit" movie, "The more similar the Blue Moon Village and Yan Shen Village are, the more we have to pay attention to the inconsistencies in them." Dong Ning's words were something that Ming Chenyan agreed with. "Yes, a high degree of similarity could instead be a trap that leads us to a dead end. I would also like to remind all of you that once the dead end path is triggered, the apartment's protection for the occupants and restrictions on the evil spirits will become null and void, and death will surely ensue. If you are unlucky, all the residents may be involved! Prepare yourselves mentally, whoever dares to act rashly, I'll be the first to cut him down!" It seemed that because he had followed Qin Ziyuan around for a short period of time, Ming Chenyan as a person also spoke in a rather domineering manner, giving off a feeling of unruffled authority. "Let's assume," Dong Ning looked at the sun gradually sinking in the west outside the car window and continued to analyze, "Assuming that Yuan Ming was molded by Deep Sea after himself, then it's very likely that the black ghostly shadow is real. But most likely, Deepsea himself doesn't know, who the black shadow really is, and the bloody killings that were so crazy in the novel shouldn't have happened. Then, so many analysis post on the Internet, in fact, no realistic reference value at all. Because the author himself doesn't know who the Black Shadow is!"
