Outline of the novel "The Eye in the Screen"
1. Core settings
Protagonist: Lin Xia, an author of supernatural stories, who is used to writing late at night. He acquires second-hand electronic equipment for his creative needs. He has a certain sensitivity but lacks experience in actually dealing with supernatural events.
Key items: a second-hand laptop computer with a badly worn casing. The previous owner was a programmer who suddenly disappeared. There is a mysterious hidden folder hidden in the hard drive, which is the core carrier of the anomaly.
Core anomaly: The strange eyes appearing on the screen have real biological characteristics (blinking, eyelash trembling, iris color changes), can move synchronously with the pictures on the hard drive, and can indirectly control computer equipment.
Core suspense: the true identity of the eyes on the screen, the connection between the disappearance of the former owner and the eyes, the purpose of the eyes "gazing" at the protagonist, and the nature of the light spots in the pupils.
2. Plot context
(1) The Beginning: The First Appearance of the Vision
Foreshadowing the atmosphere: In the study room at three o'clock in the morning, Lin Xia fell into exhaustion due to jamming. The only sound left was the sound of the keyboard and the cold coffee, highlighting the tranquility and loneliness of the environment.
Foreshadowing: Introduce the origin of the second-hand notebook, mention the background of the previous owner's disappearance, and lay clues for the subsequent mystery.
First warning: Lin Xia found that a dark red afterimage flashed across the taskbar on the screen, mistaking it for an aging device, which initially triggered the attention of the reader and the protagonist.
(2) Development: Fear escalates
The vision takes shape: the dark red afterimage solidifies in the center of the screen, gradually outlining the outline of the eyes, from blurry to clear, showing details such as pupils and irises, clarifying the existence of "eyes".
First impact: When Lin Xia tried to shut down the computer, the eyes on the screen made real blinking movements, breaking the "device fault"
