In the creation of novels, characters choose a hidden method to harm others without being noticed, usually involving the following key elements： ### 1. **Carefully planned** -**Clear motivation**: The character needs to have a clear motivation, which may be revenge, jealousy, protection of self-interest, etc. The stronger the motivation, the more likely the character is to take extreme measures. -**Goal analysis**: The character will carefully study the target's living habits, weaknesses, social circle, etc., and find the most suitable time and way to start. ### 2. **Use the environment** -**Familiar environment**: The character may choose to harm in an environment familiar to the target, taking advantage of the target's relaxation psychology. -**Hidden places**: Choose inaccessible or unmonitored places to reduce the risk of being witnessed or recorded. ### 3. **Psychological manipulation** -**Create an illusion**: The character may relax his vigilance by creating an illusion that the target mistakenly thinks he is safe. -**Emotional manipulation**: Take advantage of the emotional weaknesses of the target, such as trust, dependence, etc., so that the target unknowingly falls into a trap. ### 4. **Technical means** -**High-tech tools**: Use high-tech tools that are not easy to detect, such as miniature cameras, monitoring equipment, remote control devices, etc. -**Chemical substances**: Use colorless and odorless poisons, anesthetics, etc. to cause the target to be harmed unknowingly. ### 5. **Disguise and mislead** -**Disguised identity**: The character may pretend to be someone else and use a fake identity to approach the target to avoid being suspected. -**Create an alibi**: Through careful arrangements, create an alibi to prevent investigators from linking the injury to the role. ### 6. **Step-by-step implementation** -**Small-scale temptations**: The character may first conduct some small-scale temptations to observe the target's reaction and changes in the surrounding environment to ensure the success of the final action. -**Phased implementation**: Divide the harming behavior into multiple stages, gradually weaken the target, and avoid one-time actions that cause suspicion. ### 7. **Use others** -**Hire others**: The character may hire others to commit harmful behaviors, while he hides behind the scenes to avoid direct exposure. -**Using innocent people**: By manipulating or coercing others, innocent people can become the executors of harmful acts and further hide their identities. ### 8. **Psychological stress** -**Long-term torture**: The character may choose to carry out long-term psychological torture on the target, such as intimidation, threats, spreading rumors, etc., to make the target mentally collapse. -**Create fear**: By creating an atmosphere of terror, let the target live in constant fear, which eventually leads to psychological or physical harm. ### 9. **Legal loopholes** -**Take advantage of legal loopholes**: Characters may take advantage of legal loopholes or gray areas to commit harmful behaviors and avoid being held accountable. -**Falsification of evidence**: By falsifying evidence, blame others for the harm, and further hide one's own crimes. ### 10. **Final cover-up** -**Destroy evidence**: After the injury is completed, the character will completely destroy all evidence that may expose him, including tools, communication records, etc. -**Diverting attention**: By creating other incidents or rumors, diverting the attention of the public and investigators to avoid being suspected. ### Example scenario **Scenario 1: Psychological manipulation** Character A uses the trust of target B to gradually guide B into a well-designed trap. Through anonymous letters, telephone intimidation, etc., A gradually caused B to panic, which eventually led to B's mental breakdown, and even self-harm or suicide. A hides behind the scenes throughout the process and never shows up directly to ensure his safety. **Scenario 2: Chemical damage** Character C is a chemical expert who uses his expertise to mix a colorless and odorless chronic poison into target D's daily diet. D gradually became poisoned unknowingly, his body deteriorated, and finally died without being noticed. C Through careful arrangements, make sure that you always have an alibi to avoid being suspected. **Scenario 3: Technical control** Character E is a hacker who remotely controls target F's smart home device to create a series of ”unexpected" events. For example, remotely controlling the water heater while F is taking a bath, causing F to be burned; or controlling the air conditioner while F is sleeping, causing F to get sick at extreme temperatures. Through these hidden technical means, E gradually weakens F's physical health and ultimately achieves the purpose of harm. Through these methods, characters can secretly harm others in the novel, while keeping themselves safe and undetected.
