Chapter 21: The King of Terror

  Nevada is located in the northwest of the United States, adjacent to California. There are many mountain forests here, with an unusual climate and a strong primitive atmosphere, so it is full of ghost legends and is known as the "Ghost State" of America.

  Here, you can see endless plains, rugged hills, windmills towering above the plains, and cargo trucks whizzing by.

  Here is desolate and barren, filled with stories and legends.

  Especially in the suburbs, it is almost an unopened Indian era.

  But when you enter the towns of Nevada, you'll find that it's a different world.

  Prosperous, bustling, and full of metropolitan charm.

  Nevada is just such an ambiguous region that for many writers is the best element to find creative inspiration.

  Although Stephen King is a Maine native, he has a fondness for the mystique of Nevada and spends time here every May and June. You can find hints of his time spent in Nevada in works such as "Desperation", "Pet Sematary" and even his first novel "Carrie".

  One day in May, when Yi Feiyang drove here at noon, he parked the second-hand car he had bought for $1,000 near Stefan King's villa. Along the way, neighbors looked at him with strange eyes.

  It's worth noting that Nevada is not New York, nor Los Angeles. Few Chinese people come here, let alone a young and spirited one like him, who has caught the attention of some local girls.

  Stephen King's home is easy to find because he is too famous, many of his fans will come to visit. After asking for directions many times, the neighbors are not bothered, so they spontaneously set up many signs with unclear writing, "Stephen King's house, turn left 100 meters."

  About 100 meters ahead, Yifei Yang walked towards this ancient antique villa with his head held high.

  A wide iron gate closed, inside the fortifications are dense, Gothic-style buildings towering into the sky. Thin chimneys straight into the clouds. Several rows of dense pine trees surround the villa, allowing people to see only a glimpse of the general layout of this villa from the outside.

  According to Yifei Yang's view, such a villa is simply the legendary "ghost house". For example, the movie "Ghost Wailing Wolf Howling" and the movie "Wardmar Mansion", from the outside, it gives people a sense of gloominess, it can be said that the villa model in the movie is exactly the same as this building.

  Yi Feiyang even thinks that Stephen King's bestselling film "Rose Blood" was shot here.

  A thrilling story of secrets, murder and ghosts. Despite its beautiful name, "Blood Rose" is not a romantic love movie, but rather the name of an old mansion that has been abandoned for years. Under its beautiful exterior, it hides a terrifying cruelty and bloodiness. The "Blood Rose" was born in the early 20th century by a wealthy family who built it, but from the start, disasters have continued to occur. Not only did many construction workers die tragically, but after its completion, many people also disappeared one after another. In total, 26 people have mysteriously vanished within the desolate and overgrown grounds of "Blood Rose". Legend has it that this house is cursed and will continue to expand on its own...

  This is the general content of this play, and in some people's eyes, it may not be considered a classic. However, whether or not it's a classic, in Yifei Yang's opinion, there are probably very few horror movies that can surpass it. Another attractive aspect of this film is its music, which is simply heart-stopping hellish sound.

  Yi Feiyang arrived at the large iron gate and pressed the doorbell. A commotion came from inside.

  But the big iron gate did not open immediately.

  "Who is it?" A voice suddenly came from the intercom on the iron door.

  "My name is Yì Fēi Yáng, I was invited by Mr. Stephen King!"

  "Oh, wait a minute."

  Lost his voice.

  Yi Feiyang lazily leaned against the iron gate, pulled out a cigarette and lit it.

  Not even two puffs yet.

  The iron gate creaked open.

  Yi Feiyang nodded and said, "Thank you!" Then he stepped forward and walked inside.

  From the outside, it looks big enough, but when you really walk in, you realize that it's incredibly huge.

  Green lawn, comparable to a wide football field, various plants and flowers, decorate the entire villa's estate.

  On that green grassland, many beautiful small animals are being raised, and there is even a majestic elk.

  Yi Feiyang is so enviable, this is the life of a rich person. No need to mention others, many people can't even support themselves, let alone raise so many pets.

  Just as Yi Feiyang was looking around, a tall and large white man walked out of the villa, holding a huge German Shepherd dog.

  The wolf dog bared its teeth and stuck out its red tongue, staring at Yi Feiyang with a fierce gaze.

  The white man spoke up: "Hello, friend, are you Mr. Yi Feiyang?"

  "Yes, I am." Yi Feiyang hastily replied.

  The white man was about to continue speaking when the wolf dog he was holding suddenly let out a loud bark, broke free from the rope's restraint, and pounced on Yi Feiyang with a fierce leap!

  "Oh, damn it!" The white man was shocked and lost his color!

  Just as the wolf dog was about to pounce on Yi Feiyang, in a moment of crisis, Yi Feiyang didn't hesitate to throw a punch, and with a "thud", he directly hit the wolf dog's nose.

  "Ahh!" A blood-curdling scream!

  That wolf dog never thought its opponent would be so fierce, and the nose was also its weakest place, and it was knocked out with a single punch.

  The white people were shocked.

  He took a glance at his dog, which was lying on the ground and twitching, then glanced at Yi Feiyang, who was exercising his wrist. After a moment, he gave a thumbs up: "Awesome!"

  ……

  The tall white man in front of him was none other than Stephen King, the legendary American writer and master of horror.

  Stephen King is a strange person, in his own words, having written horror for so long, his mind has also become crazy. Sometimes, he likes to observe dead things, such as a dead dog, cat, or mouse thrown into the trash can. These things give him inspiration, and he immediately imagines a scene: a housewife opens the refrigerator, inside which is not cheese sandwiches, but a dead child!

  Now Stephen King is hooked on raising dogs, and they are those most ferocious wolfhounds.

  In his view, this animal is like a wild wolf in the wilderness, still retaining most of its animal nature, and it is precisely this animal nature that he needs to create horror.

  Stephen King enjoyed watching the Great Dane tear a live chicken to shreds, that bloody scene would make him immerse himself in death and unable to extricate himself.

  His family strongly opposed his extraordinary behavior, thinking it was murder and abuse.

  But Stephen King said that every successful horror writer is a madman, and you reason with madmen, no doubt equal to plotting with tigers.

  The cruelty of this large wolf dog became the reason for Stefan's infatuation, but unexpectedly almost caused an accident today. If it weren't for Yi Feiyang's sharp punch that knocked out the mad wolf dog, the consequences would be unimaginable.

  Stephen King looked at his barking dog on the ground and then at Yi Fei Yang, who was calm and collected, and said, "Your fists are very hard!"

  Yi Feiyang smiled and said, "It's because its nose is too soft!"

  "I am Stephen King"

  "My name is Yi Feiyang."

  Right after that, America's most famous horror master and a future shocker of Hollywood shook hands for the first time.
