At the end of June, Ningjiang was scorching.

The noisy chirping of cicadas makes people's ears hurt, and in the Ningjiang High-tech Development Zone, a dark blue car with the New Frontier Media brand is parked at the door of a slightly dilapidated four-story building.

Li Ruoxuan, who was carrying a black schoolbag, opened the door and got out of the car, she was wearing a short-sleeved T-shirt with a print, slim jeans, sneakers, and a handful of hair on her head was simply tied into a one-sided braid.

In an instant, from the low temperature of the air conditioner in the car to the heat of Ningjiang outside, the noisy cicada chirp suddenly enveloped the newcomer editor, Li Ruoxuan confirmed the address in the mobile phone, and looked up at the building.

"This is the company?"

Li Ruoxuan walked into the shadows of the hall on the first floor, and saw the simple logo printed on A4 paper and the four big characters of "Phantom Electric Animation", she was a little uneasy, if it weren't for the fact that the introducer was a business partner she was familiar with, Li Ruoxuan would have felt that she might be abducted and trafficked.

Walking upstairs following the guidance, Li Ruoxuan finally heard a little noise.

It was the sound of keyboard tapping and some kind of peculiar sliding sound every now and then.

She poked her head out of the stairwell and saw several tables in the center of the huge studio, in front of which a young girl was concentrating on the screen.

The girl was wearing a burgundy dress, with her left hand on the keyboard, her right hand holding a pen, drawing on the tablet, she was wearing headphones, her expression was serious, and she exuded an atmosphere of no one approaching.

"Is this a professional animator?"

Li Ruoxuan is still visiting the animation company for the first time, although the other facilities here are a little shabby, but looking at the appearance of the girl's painting, Li Ruoxuan is still a little impressed.

She couldn't help but lean over to see what the girl was drawing, but after a closer look, Li Ruoxuan was immediately stunned.

Because the girl's screen is not a world famous painting, but a first-person view of a firearm in hand, I saw the girl flexibly controlling the game character to move, roundabout, and then a headshot fell to the opposite side, just like a professional player.

This is the picture of the call of the battlefield, Li Ruoxuan has heard of it, she has not played, but she has seen others play, if the operation of the girl is a well-trained soldier, then the boys in the Internet café that Li Ruoxuan watched before are simply toddler babies.

Li Ruoxuan glanced at the number of kills of this young girl, it was already more than fifty, and more importantly, the number of deaths was actually zero!!

"No, why are there people in animation companies who play games?"

Li Ruoxuan couldn't help but scream, attracting the attention of others.

"It's lunch break, and it's free to use as long as it doesn't affect other people."

A man with glasses next to him said that he also had a tablet and keyboard configuration in front of him, but the computer was playing the latest episode of "Ningjiang Zombies 2", which Li Ruoxuan watched last night and was impressed.

"Who are you looking for?"

A slightly hunched middle-aged man suddenly appeared from behind Li Ruoxuan, wearing a khaki shirt, like a cleaning uncle in the editorial department.

"Uncle, I, I'm looking for your person in charge, I'm here to talk and talk about cooperation?"

Li Ruoxuan was startled and said in a bit of a panic.

"Is it the snowfall editor of the monthly junior front?"

A voice came from the other side of the desk, Li Ruoxuan looked over, it was a very young boy, very sunny, he walked over with a document in his hand, and stretched out his hand to Li Ruoxuan.

"I'm Xu Rui, the head of Phantom Electric Animation, and it's a pleasure to meet you."

Li Ruoxuan hesitated and shook hands with the other party, Xu Rui's fingers were slender, but a little rough, and the touch of callouse rubbing impressed Li Ruoxuan, she remembered that Teacher Atron's hands were also like this.

Perhaps this is true of people who paint.

"This way, please."

Xu Rui pointed to the conference room on the side, and called Cheng Ke again, the three of them walked in, and after a simple greeting and introduction, Li Ruoxuan took out a thick stack of documents in his schoolbag.

"These are the previous projects of "Soul Eater", some sorted out materials, and ......"

She said fluently, skillful and a little distressing, Li Ruoxuan had said these words to many animation companies before, but those companies had no plans to take over the animation of "Soul Eater".

Originally, these tasks should be the responsibility of the colleagues in charge of copyright contact, but "Monthly Youth Frontline" is of a special nature, and as the editor who knows the most about the content of comics, he will also participate in it, and at the same time, because "Soul Eater" has been sentenced to death on the side of the copyright department, only Li Ruoxuan is running around here.

"Wait a minute, Snowfall Editor, before we talk about anime, I want to ask you how much you know about Soul Eater."

Xu Rui stretched out his hand and pressed the file that Li Ruoxuan was about to open and said.

"Well, "Soul Eater" is the debut work of Mr. Chuang and is a story about demon smoking......"

Li Ruoxuan roughly talked about the plot.

The story of "Soul Eater" is very royal and very simple, high school student Bai Jianshi has been able to see ghosts since he was a child, and sometimes he will use this ability to help some souls who have been wronged, one day, he met Li Leshen, a high school girl who can control the huge white spirit beast "Bai Ze", and learned the truth of this world from her mouth, and joined the super natural disaster office of the Natural Environment Bureau, while going to school, while carrying out the battle story of the soul removal after school.

"Who is the most memorable character in this story?"

After Xu Rui heard Li Ruoxuan's narration, he bowed his head slightly, as if he was testing her basic ability as a responsible editor.

"Uh, it should be the heroine Li Leshen, she is strong and confident, but she feels like a little girl in front of the male protagonist, especially when she appears, she is holding a Pocky stick and stepping on Bai Ze, very handsome!"

Although Li Ruoxuan is a rookie editor, she still carefully read every work on "Monthly Youth Frontline", and she did not panic at all in the face of Xu Rui's questions.

"Speaking of which, do you know why the heroine Li Leshen often carries a Porky stick in her mouth?"

Xu Rui paused and continued to ask.

In the current plot, Li Leshen almost never pulled out a sword, but according to the description of others, she is also a master of using a sword, why is this? Huangfu Kaoru, who appeared in Chapter 18, what is her relationship with Li Leshen? ”

Xu Rui's series of questions made Li Ruoxuan's face full of question marks, although she had carefully watched "Soul Eater", she had never thought carefully about such a question, nor did she dig deep into these settings, after Xu Rui's inquiry, she was a little late-sighted.

"Hey, it sounds like ...... to say that."

She took out her notebook, the cover of the notebook was decorated with beautiful tape, and Li Ruoxuan flipped to one of the pages, here are the notes she made when she read "Soul Eater".

"Teacher Achuang said that Huangfu Xun used to know Li Leshen, and the relationship was quite good, but he didn't think about it specifically, the reason why he designed this character was just to show Li Leshen's past, this kind of plot to cut off the past is very common in royal comics."

"So, are you curious, how did this character interact with Li Leshen in the past, and how did Li Leshen become what he is now?"

Xu Rui said earnestly, and then took out a plan from his side.

There are three words written on it.

Soul Eater: Zero.
