Chapter 268: No Sale, No Killing

Looking at the comic "Tide and Tiger" serialized in the new issue of "Jumk", many readers suddenly felt a sigh in their hearts, as if they were tricked by a cartoonist named Phoenix Courtyard this time......

The reason why most readers have such feelings is because of the comic "Tide and Tiger"!

In the comics, countless youkai launched suicide bombardments regardless of sacrifices, and finally succeeded in forcing the white-faced man to the edge of the enchantment without considering casualties...... At the same time, feeling Xiaochao's intentions, condensing the prayers of humans and monsters, the fragments of the beast spear gathered together from all directions, and after the fragments condensed, they were resurrected again!

Although the beast spear can exert extraordinary combat power in hand, it is your own soul that you have to pay! When the holder of the beast spear, after giving the whole soul, will lose his mind and become a beast, becoming an existence like a tiger! The beast spear that condenses the resentment of the righteous dragon, after devouring the soul of the beast spear holder, will also swallow the memory of the holder, and the only thing left is the hatred of the white-faced one!

In the last battle, in order to help Ah Hu and cut off the resentment in his heart, these beastified monsters united together and became the armor on Ah Hu's body before!

Although I understand that the next moment is the decisive battle, the reader has more doubts, because the characters in "Natsume" have not appeared until now! Although there have been hints in "Natsume" before, there will be random entry of characters in the next "Tide and Tiger", but until Xiaochao and Ah Hu teamed up to push the white-faced person into the enchantment and start a life-and-death battle, the characters in "Natsume" still did not appear!

Before the decisive battle began, there was no indiscriminate entry, which means that it will appear in the decisive battle? But is there really no problem with drawing like this? With the super strength of the white-faced person, if it really appeared at that time, there would definitely be no corpse! The cartoonist Phoenix Courtyard is really fierce, and he is really a mad existence...... The reader is waiting and expecting, and he also has a new conceptual impression of someone!

For example, the armor on Ah Hu's body, in the process of fighting with the white-faced man, actually changed again because of long-term resentment and hatred! And the changed appearance made the reader quite stunned...... Because they resemble the appearance of a tiger, but at the moment they have become white-faced!

"Damn, this kind of unfolding is too sudden!"

"Phoenix Courtyard is very trying to tell us that resentment...... Is it the root of everything?"

"Ah Hu provided the white-faced man with a body to grow up, but the white-faced man wreaked havoc, causing many tragedies and making many people resent the white-faced one, picked up the beast spear and began to fight the white-faced one, and finally turned into a monster similar to Ah Hu...... Now, because of hatred, these monsters have become white-faced again! The setting of hatred chains one after another is really amazing!"

In addition to the fierce battle, the content of that sentence received a lot of praise from the reader's side...... However, the only thing that makes the reader feel a little regretful or fortunate is that the characters in "Natsume" did not appear during the battle between Xiaochao and Ah Hu on the protagonist side and the white-faced man......

Even today, in the new episode "Tide and Tiger", the battle between the protagonist and the white-faced person has reached the end stage, and there are still no characters who have entered randomly, and the Inuyasha and Nura groups who entered before can only be reduced to a cheering soy sauce party because they are isolated from the enchantment...... It was only at this time that the reader's side had the idea of 'it looks like we've been trapped'!

The thing that makes readers cry and laugh the most is that although some [Emperor of Truth] or "Emperor of Prophecy" have appeared on the Internet before, completely disclosing the real 'conspiracy' of the cartoonist Phoenix Academy, which has caused a heated discussion on the Internet! However, a certain cartoonist seems to have not seen or realized this, and he still did not give up using this stalk in the "Natsume" comics, so that the cat teacher, who is responsible for selling cuteness most of the time, reveals some news from time to time 'unfathomable', and continues to be responsible for mobilizing the appetite of readers......

Yoshida had expected such a situation, so every week when he came to Makoto Takahashi's house to collect manga manuscripts, he would look at Makoto Takahashi with a rather contemptuous look...... As for the act of taunting and other acts of death, Yoshida said that he just disdains arguing with patients with secondary two diseases, and is definitely not afraid of the coercion of force at someone's monster level!

"Four-eyed fox, how far has your plan progressed?" Makoto Takahashi stopped his paintbrush and took out his phone from his white coat, with a playful smile on his face, "I'll talk to you first...... If my plan to ascend to the altar fails because of your procrastination, I will declare war against you, the kind that will never die!"

Seeing Makoto Takahashi actually answering the phone while painting, Yoshida was a little shocked! After all, in his own memory (the kind that is very painful and tragic), it seems that Makoto Takahashi hates being disturbed by others the most when he is painting! But listening to Makoto Takahashi's tone, Yoshida shook his head a little helplessly, although he didn't know who was on the other side of the phone, but he felt similar to himself, and he was bullied by Makoto Takahashi very badly!

"Hey! It's about the same as I expected...... "Makoto Takahashi craned his neck and peeked in the direction of the bedroom, and continued in a low voice, covering the phone in a low voice, "Although the Ogata slime exists as an ally this time, as I said before, it is also the object that must be guarded against! If that slime really dares to violate the taboo, kill him decisively, and don't worry about the adult in your mouth......"

What kind of evil plan do you think...... Seeing Makoto Takahashi cursing someone in a low voice on the phone, Yoshida, who had some understanding, nodded subconsciously, and then shifted his attention back to the manga manuscript in his hand, and no longer asked about Makoto Takahashi's family......

Although I am curious about what Makoto Takahashi wants to do, I have told Yoshida countless times that curiosity kills people! Although I am not killed by Makoto Takahashi, I am sometimes more terrible than death when I am played to the point of collapse or something......

"Now, my family cat, why are you still here?" After Takahashi Makoto hung up the phone, he looked at Yoshida with a surprised expression, squinted his eyes and picked up the magic sword from the table, "Did you hear those just now......? However, you should also know that only the dead can keep secrets, which is the law of survival in our world, so ......"

"What kind of world do you live in, I said...... Uh, no, now isn't the time to talk about that!" Yoshida frowned, pointed to the manga manuscript in his hand, and asked Makoto Takahashi with a wistful expression, "Why did the unfolding of "Tide and Tiger" become like this?"

"Dust to dust, dust to dust, what should go, not to stay!" What did Makoto Takahashi refer to in nature, Yoshida put down the magic sword stupidly, "A certain alien Gundam once said that there is no victory without sacrifice...... If you want to kill an existence of the level of the White-Faced One, of course, you have to pay the same amount of sacrifice!"

"But if you draw like this, it will make many readers ......" Yoshida suddenly stopped in the middle of speaking, looked up at Makoto Takahashi deadly, and said through gritted teeth, "I see...... After reading the content of this sentence, readers will definitely complain to the editorial department! You really want to harm the editorial department again......

"Mortal wisdom!" Makoto Takahashi unceremoniously interrupted Yoshida's words, and an interested smile appeared on his face, "Scourge editors or something, this time it's just incidental!, but judging from your reaction, the success of this battle plan has reached ninety percent...... Uh-huh, congratulations, congratulations!"

"No kidding! Ah Cheng, you ...... Huh?" Yoshida roared out of his calculated annoyance!

"My family cat, do you really want to die once, that's why you choose to do this?" Takahashi Makoto's gloomy look was something Yoshida had never seen before! Yoshida, who didn't understand why Takahashi Makoto was angry, looked at Takahashi Makoto timidly, because of the tingling pain and coldness in his neck, he told him very realistically that if he continued to make a little more sound, then the magic sword called Shattered Star would not hesitate to cut off the connection between his body and his head! You've managed to put two imps into dream mode, and now you're trying to wake them up...... My family is a cat, I won't say anything else, and I'll spare your life for the time being...... When the yokai era is over, you'...... Cut yourself!"

"I'm sorry, Cheng, I was too excited just now......!

"Silence!" Makoto Takahashi whispered to Yoshida, but he listened to the movement in the bedroom with his ears pricked up, but his eyes were fixed on Yoshida...... No, it should be Yoshida's throat, and the magic sword in his hand leaned forward, "Hmph! Thank you for your dog luck, my family is a cat! If I wait until those little ghosts reach the age where they can see blood, I will definitely be here, let the blood-colored flowers bloom!"

Seeing that Makoto Takahashi had withdrawn the magic sword, Yoshida immediately touched the neck that was rubbed against the skin, and looked at Makoto Takahashi with a wry smile...... Did the result change from a death penalty to a suspended death sentence?

"I know what you want to ask...... Makoto Takahashi handed over the manga manuscripts scattered on the ground to Yoshida, "I can only tell you that this kind of drawing is an inevitable choice! And you, as accomplices, are not qualified to question me at all?"

"What, accomplice, Makoto, what are you kidding?" Yoshida looked at Makoto Takahashi with a shocked expression, snatched the comic manuscript, and quickly flipped to the last part, "The person who drew this result is you, just the cartoonist Phoenix Courtyard Murderer! Why do you say that we are accomplices?"

"My family belongs to the cat, isn't this what you expected?" Takahashi Makoto looked at the manga manuscript, his face showing a trace of helplessness, "It should be said that not only you, but also more than ninety percent of the readers want the characters in "Natsume" to appear in the manga! But with the strength of Xiaochao and Ah Hu, they are just barely able to defeat the white-faced ones now...... In order to respond to your complex and distorted mentality, in order to make the characters in "Natsume" appear at critical moments, that's why "Tide and Tiger" will have such a result!"

"Huh, that means ......."

"Well, it's all because of your too strong expectations, too desperate prayers, and great power...... Strong enough to be able to interfere with or even revise my comic manuscript through the great will of the world! That's why the two good friends, Chao and Tiger, died and were crippled! Although I was helpless, I ...... This is the choice of the Gate of the Stone of Destiny!" Looking at Yoshida's look of complete disbelief, Makoto Takahashi sighed helplessly, and briefly recounted it again in the language of [Yoshida's comprehension ability is not very good], "Although the original role is enough, the reader side and the editor side hope to appear in the characters in "Natsume"...... In order to be able to rationalize the appearance of the characters in Natsume, this has to happen!

"Uh...... Makoto, you mean, because we wanted to see the characters of "Natsume" in "Tide and Tiger" too much, so it affected you, and then made the content of this sentence become such a result?" Seeing Makoto Takahashi nodding in acknowledgement, Yoshida had a depressed expression on his face, "Hey, hey, hey, this has nothing to do with readers or editors at all, it's all your personal preference, right?"

So...... It's not you Makoto Takahashi who is wrong, it's the whole world? This kind of absurd values that need to be corrected, how did Makoto Takahashi cultivate this thing?

Yoshida looked at Makoto Takahashi, and shamefully admitted such a worldview, and really felt that the worldview of the second middle school was really within the reach of a very human being!

“…… And because this kind of painting will be more popular, and then the sales of "Young Jumk" will also increase, complaining is complaining, you, as the editor's dogleg, after knowing my purpose, will not only not stop me, but also encourage me to draw like this......" Takahashi Makoto looked at Yoshida, who was talking about his heart, and sighed helplessly, "Alas, my family is a cat, so I am cruel or something, you are completely unqualified, because you are all accomplices!
