"What's going on?" Seeing that Homo Oshima was trembling like an epileptic prisoner, and suddenly yelling, the curious editor became suspicious.

This... Surely Homo Oshima is taking too many drugs, right?

Trembling and yelling, it's exactly the same as the complications of that hallucinogenic addictive drug.

A group of them gathered around, planning to take Homo Oshima down and send him to the hospital when the situation was wrong - of course, just thinking about it, who would do such an offending thing?

"It's the problem with this comic... That's not a problem for Oshima's editors. ”

In order to avoid misunderstanding, Hosokawa Koharu first threw out the answer to the question: "This comic is the comic I am responsible for,... It's kind of scary... And then the Oshima editors just..."

As he spoke, Hosokawa Koharu looked at Sapino Oshima.

"Spooked by horror comics?"

These words made the editors of the weekly magazine "Bitter Cold" look at the eyes of Oshima Sapiens and couldn't help but laugh.

Horror comic editors are scared by horror comics, and this is the first time I've seen them.

As for Homo Oshima?

Oshima didn't speak.

There's nothing to say, I was really scared, and it's not a shame at all to be scared.

That sense of substitution that can't wait to pull people in... The feeling of being so horrible that it oppresses the heart... To be honest, Homo Oshima felt a little irritated in addition to being afraid.

He still wanted to read on.

This person is a bit of a masochist.

After all, this work is just the cover and it is so heart-wrenching, isn't the content inside even more exciting to death?

Some people are like that, the more scared they are, the more they want to do it. Otherwise, how could there be such a facility as a roller coaster?

But until then...

When Tomoto Oshima looked at the group of editors gathered around, he had a schadenfreude in his heart.

Look at it, look at it! I'll show you.

He is very confident in this "Midnight Bell", and this group of editors who like to read jokes must be similar to him in the end.

"Editor Hosokawa said this, I also got a little interested in this manga, if you don't mind if I can flip through it?"

An old editor next to him raised his hand.

His name is Isamu Sanada, and he has worked in the editorial department of Urashima Press for almost thirty years and has witnessed many excellent horror manga.

Originally, he was going to be transferred to the editor-in-chief, but Sanada Yong will retire in a few years, so the people above the publishing house will be pressed down, but Sanada Yong's salary and benefits are all in accordance with the standards of the editor-in-chief of the publishing house.

As soon as he raised his hand, there was naturally no one to speak below.

Everyone watched as he took the original comic manuscript of the Midnight Bell and flipped through it.

The gaze stayed on the first page.

Ancient wells, dead leaves.

A twisted figure flickered before his eyes.

Slender, white, twisted limbs.

A resentful spirit crawling out of the TV.

A vicious look.

Fingers that pull out their nails...

At the moment when he saw the woman completely crawl out of the TV set and put her hand on his shoulder-

His heart contractions accelerated, his blood pressure soared, and the adrenaline made Sanada's face redden.

He couldn't help but tilt his head back, exhaled deeply, and when he came back, his face was faintly blue.

"The plot quality of this comic... If he painted the cover picture half of the quality... That's all a good comic. ”

Sanada Yong grabbed "Midnight Bell" hard, and finally didn't smash it out like Oshima Sapiens, and commented directly.

After commenting, Sanada Yong looked at the wall-mounted big TV at the same time.

He finally knew why Homo Oshima was a little afraid of TV.

Honestly, he now feels like he's turning off the TV.

No... Wrong.

I can't wait to lock the TV with an iron chain.

The editor next to him was a little surprised by Isamu Sanada's comment.

directly uses comic artists to link with the plot of comics, which can only show that the author of "Midnight Bell" is really good.

After all, horror comics pay more attention to the sense of substitution of the plot, and even if you are not very detailed, readers will not care too much.

"Editor Hosokawa, if you don't mind, can you let everyone see the original manuscript of this manga? Don't waste everyone's time, just look at the first page. ”

Sanada Yong knows how to be a man very well, and he naturally knows that Hosokawa Koharu has no authors under him, and he has been sitting on a cold bench as a rookie editor.

That's why he repeatedly asked Hosokawa Koharu's opinion, which was also to tell other editors that the editor in charge of this work was Hosokawa Koharu, and he didn't want to grab a good work when he saw it.

After all, it's a Japanese workplace... In order to pull performance, many people do everything.

It is also the norm to suppress newcomers with the shelves of predecessors.

Generally speaking, like Hosokawa Koharu, it takes at least half a year to get into the right place.

"Ah, of course no problem." Hosokawa Koharu glanced at Isamu Sanada gratefully.

Everyone has said this, if she still doesn't understand, then she is really a stupid woman.

As a result, the manuscript of "Midnight Bell" began to be circulated.

And then—

Boom!!!

The male editor, who had just mocked Sapiens Oshima the most ruthlessly, rolled down from the bench and looked at the manuscript of "Midnight Bell" in fright.

Boom!!!

The veteran editor, who has been in the industry for five years, looked at the comic "Midnight Bell", and soon his face was distorted, and Hosokawa Koharu remembered that his face was usually smiling in the past.

The sound of smashing the manuscript kept coming.

Ten minutes later—

"Whew... That's about how it went. ”

Urashima, the editor-in-chief of the weekly magazine "Bad Cold", chained the TV to it, and then looked back at "Midnight Bell" at hand.

The original manuscript of "Midnight Bell" was tragically 'poisoned' by different editors in ten minutes, either rubbed or smashed.

Even the surface of the paper was crumpled.

Fortunately, Hosokawa Koharu had copied the original manuscript of "Midnight Bell" before, otherwise he would have taken such an original manuscript to meet the original author... It's rude to think about it.

"What do you think of this submitted "Midnight Bell"?"

Editor-in-chief Urashima asked.

He is also one of the victims of Tsukasa Higashino's horror manga, and now he feels scared when he has a big TV next to him.

But he is the editor-in-chief, and he is not timid at all on the surface, but his feet have slowly opened up a part of the distance from the TV.

None of the editors in charge below spoke.

Usually this stage should be the stage of picking, but no one can pick out the inappropriate part of the comic "Midnight Bell".

"I don't think there's a lot of pressure on "Midnight Bell" to go through the serialization meeting, and the frontispiece color page can be arranged..."

The veteran Isamu Sanada thought about it and said, "If it is promoted, it may be more popular than the previous pillar manga "The Shadow Reflected in the Camera" by our Urashima Publishing House. ”

When the editor heard this, he also took a look at Sanada Yong.

Sanada Yong is proposing to transfer publicity resources to build momentum for "Midnight Bell".

"But in this case, what should the current author of the Taizhuzi comic "Between the Dolls" do?"

Sanada didn't speak, just looked at the editor-in-chief.

No matter how old he is, he is also an editor in charge, and if he really wants to make an idea, he has to look at the editor-in-chief.

"Tilt some resources first, if "Midnight Bell" can still come up with an original manuscript of this quality in the future, and then decide whether to use it as a pillar comic for publicity."

Urashima's editor-in-chief quickly came up with an idea.

As for the manga "Between the Dolls"...

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that it can't provoke the girder of Urashima Publishing House's weekly "Bad Cold", so no one here stands up to speak out like in the novel.

Besides, it's just a chance to try the comic "Midnight Bell", if it's of average quality, then it's better to continue to play "Between Dolls".

The tactics of the capitalists are quite normal.
