Chapter 30. Relax with the TV on
Kazu Akasaka is also a professional manga critic.
The name of this profession may sound very bluffing, but in fact, it is similar to a drama critic and a film critic, both of which are professions that stand on a high place and comment on other people's works.
But unlike freelance writers, Kazuzu Akasaka also has a serious job.
He is affiliated with the magazine "Asahin", which is owned by Fuji Publishing House.
And as a contracted copywriter, his main job is to do something shady.
In a word, it is actually touting the manga of Fuji Publishing House and belittling the manga works of the other three major publishers, and this kind of smearing other people's company operations is actually quite common in Japan.
What kind of school bullying affects children's physical and mental health, why is this storyboard too long, cutting off the sense of space... Anyway, Akasaka and that is, he came with his mouth open.
As long as it is the work of the other three major societies, when it comes to his pen, there will basically be no good results, at most it will be mixed with a three-star 'barely watchable' level.
Even if everyone knows that he wrote these articles from the standpoint of Fuji Press.
But there are also some people who like this taste, so the sales of "Chaojin" are even good overall.
After all, Kazuya Akasaka is not brainless, and every place he sprays is justified and convincing.
As a contract writer for the magazine, today's Fuji Publishing House has assigned another task to Kazuya Akasaka-
Urashima Publishing House has a comic called "Midnight Bell", and you look at it. โ
Squirt works.,As a senior troll.,This is Akasaka Kazuya's best trick.ใ
So he bought "Bad Cold" from Urashima Publishing House early, and prepared paper and pens next to him, put two glasses of water, and planned to pass it again.
"Midnight Bells? Higashino-sensei will bring you the purest fear? โ
Kazuya Akasaka pouted.
He doesn't know how many times he's read the slogan on this cover, and he's aesthetically tired.
So he moved his hand and wrote on the piece of paper next to him, 'The slogan lacks novelty'.
Then, he skipped through the table of contents and turned to the first page.
This time, the goal is "Midnight Bell", Kazuya Akasaka's purpose is very pure, and he doesn't even look at other comics, so he just goes to "Midnight Bell".
His hand was very steady, and he turned to the cover of "Midnight Bell" at once, and after a cursory glance at the cover, he found that the cover was quite exquisitely drawn, which made people's hearts cold, and there was really nothing to spray, so he turned to look at the main content.
After a few concise storyboards at the beginning, after explaining the time, place and characters clearly, quickly enter the main topic.
This feeling of pleasure is something that Kazuya Akasaka has never felt after reading manga for many years, he looked at the blank paper, and after thinking about it for a long time, he couldn't find the point to spray, so he could only continue downward.
Entering the plot, the beginning is two little girls talking, one is called Tomoko and the other is Tomoko.
According to the progress of the plot, Kazuya Akasaka immediately understood that the time at the top of the storyboard just now refers to the time of death, and it is estimated that the person cursed by the curse video will die in a week.
Look at it this way, this is also an ordinary phone resentment story, it's quite old-fashioned, you can spray this, remember it.
There was one more line on the blank note.
But if it's fair, Kazuya Akasaka actually vaguely feels that this manga is really of high quality, at least the more he reads it, the more he feels a chill in his heart, his chest is like a stone, and a sense of fear rises inexplicably.
The gaze also seems to be somewhat misaligned, as if the things in "Midnight Bell" will immediately burst out of the painting and come to reality.
How is that possible?!
Akasaka Kazuya also threw off all these miscellaneous thoughts and breathed a sigh of relief to himself.
I'm a professional troll! To implement the professional ethics of trolls, we must not make the author of "Midnight Bell" feel better.
So he continued to look down.
At this time, Tomoko in the manga has already begun to tell Tomoko the story of the curse video, and Tomoko's expression is not quite right, and it looks like she is forcing a smile.
This reaction Kazuzu Akasaka can also guess the reason, and it is estimated that Tomoko watched the curse video.
Although the author of the next frame used a bit of exaggeration to paint Tomoko's face particularly hideous, it was still too tender to scare him Kazuya Akasaka.
Kazuya Akasaka shook his head, after all, he was also a person who had read horror manga for so many years, and it was too difficult to scare him.
And thenโ
There was a bang.
Tomoko's fingers suddenly raised, as if pointing at Kazuya Akasaka outside the manga, and Senran's twisted scream seemed to explode in Kazuya Akasaka's ears-
"You're going to die in a week!"
Syllable!
Kazuya Akasaka rolled straight out of his chair, his eyes looking at everything in front of him in horror.
In front of him, the black-haired Tomoko's red lips were twisted, and her beautiful face was as terrifying as a man-eating plant.
That snow-white finger passed through the comics, pointing directly at him, a person in the real world.
"Whoop, whoop, whoop..."
Kazuya Akasaka felt a chill in his body, his teeth collided violently up and down, and his eyes looked at everything in front of him in unimaginable.
How is this possible?!
Reading a horror comic and seeing yourself as a vision?!
Kazuya Akasaka feels as if she has become the Tomoko in the painting, shrouded in fear and despair, and wants to run away but can't escape at all.
After a while, Kazuya Akasaka suddenly came back to his senses, only to realize that the surroundings were still the same.
In front of him, "Midnight Bell" spreads out to the back page.
At this time, Tomoko had already told Tomoko about the strange things when she was traveling on Izu Island.
She had also watched the video of the curse, and was scared at this point.
Shadows tangle silently.
Outside the window, darkness had swallowed up, and everything was not visible, showing a bad omen.
In this extremely depressing situation, Tomoko and Tomoko look at each other, and thenโ
Jingle Bell !!
The phone is ringing!
Terror strikes again!
"Midnight Bell" is over!
"Whew..."Kazuya Akasaka closed "Bad Cold" with a sweaty face, but there was an indescribable sense of anxiety in his heart.
He seems to be looking at the follow-up!
What happened next? What should Tomoko and Tomoko do?! What will happen?
That's right, although scared, but he still wants to see it!
Because it's so exciting! It's even more exciting than riding a roller coaster!
"Let's watch it again."
Kazuya Akasaka exhaled a cool breath and reached out to turn on the TV.
He was a little embarrassed.
After all, I was completely immersed in the world of "Midnight Bell" just now, and I was scared half to death.
So this time, he wanted to watch "Midnight Bell" again in a relatively relaxed state to find a place where he could spray.
And turning on the TV is a way for him to regulate and relax his mind.
"This time, let's start with the cover, it's impossible to scare me again after reading a horror comic that I've seen once."
Kazuya Akasaka put on the TV and opened "Midnight Bell".
This time, he's going to look at it from the cover...
