Chapter 57: Code Geass
Looking at the two men and six women who were watching him, Uchiyama, who was buried in the sand, had an expression that a dead pig was not afraid of boiling water, and said: "I am willing to lose the bet!" If you want to kill, we will kill, and we will never fight back! ”
Iwata and Takashima beside him were also depressed, completely devoid of their previous spirit.
Araki Bai smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, we won't shout at you and kill you, burying you just so that you can play another game with us." ”
"What's your plot?" Uchiyama looked at him warily.
Araki Bai said lightly: "Since you lost playing volleyball, the next thing is naturally the time to punish the game." I'll put a watermelon in the middle of the heads of the three of you, and then let one of us cut it blindfolded. Each person who cuts the watermelon has three chances, and if they get it right, the game is over. If it doesn't hit, change to a blindfolded person. You can open your mouth to remind the person who cuts the watermelon, or you can not open your mouth, understand? ”
Uchiyama breathed a sigh of relief.
It's just an ordinary watermelon cut, and you can also remind the contestants that it shouldn't be too difficult to get the punishment game over.
"No problem, let's start playing now!"
Araki Bai smiled slightly, and said to the women around him, "Who wants to be the first to come?" ”
Liang Feng immediately raised his hand and said, "I, me, me!" ”
Araki Bai nodded, pulled her to a position ten paces away, and put a blindfold on her.
"Alright, the game begins."
After Araki Hakuro announced the start of the game, Uchiyama immediately shouted to the cool breeze, "Here, go here!" ”
Liang Feng walked towards him very obediently.
"Stop! The watermelon is about 15° on your right! Uchiyama shouted.
Cool Breeze grinned, then swung the wooden knife downward.
The wooden knife hit Uchiyama's head accurately, and he screamed in pain.
"What are you doing! Watermelon on your right! Right! Uchiyama shouted.
"Uchiyama, don't shout, can't you see it? She's here for you. Iwata said dejectedly.
As soon as Iwata's words fell, the cool breeze wooden knife suddenly struck on the top of his head, and he screamed in pain.
"Don't talk, maybe she'll hit the watermelon herself!" As soon as Takashima spoke, he immediately enjoyed a wooden knife.
Liang Feng ripped off the blindfold, stuck out his tongue and said with a grin: "Haha, it's a failure!" ”
"Bastard, you did it on purpose, didn't you!" Uchiyama said angrily.
Liang Feng swirled the blindfold with his hand and shouted to everyone, "Who will come next?" ”
"I'm here." Mie Sagawa walked over and took the wooden knife and blindfold.
"Don't talk to anyone this time!" Uchiyama instructed.
I saw Mie Sagawa walk ten steps blindfolded, then stopped and quickly swung the wooden knife three times, followed by three screams of pain.
"How can it be so accurate, bastard! You must have cheated! Uchiyama shouted.
Mie Sagawa took off her blindfold, blinked, and said with a smile: "Don't underestimate my sister, I've practiced kendo." ”
"Aya, you can try it too, it's fun!" Sagawa shouted at Aya Hirano.
"Huh? Shall I forget it? ”
"Go, Hirano, you have to try everything." Araki said with a smile.
"Hmm!" Aya Hirano took the wooden knife from Sagawa's hand.
Thus, the fun day of the beach ended with a scream.

At around seven o'clock in the evening, Araki Haku received a call from Yosuke Akasaka again.
This guy really came by plane overnight, and Araki Haku could only praise his professionalism.
The two of them sat by the window in the hotel lobby, and there were not many tourists on the beach at night, and everything around them seemed extremely quiet and peaceful.
"Why is the editorial department so anxious to let me open it?"
Araki Hakuro didn't open the original novel handed over by Akasaka for the first time.
Yosuke Akasaka sighed and said, "I believe that this matter won't be hidden for long, so I'll just say it." In fact, this morning, Mr. Miki, the author of "The Final Weapon", suddenly handed over the last words of "The Final Weapon" to the editorial department. ”
Araki Bai was stunned for a moment and said, "When you say "The Final Weapon", do you mean the manga that ranks second in the country's manga sales? ”
Yosuke Akasaka said, "That's the work. ”
Araki Bai nodded and said, "No wonder the editorial department wants me to double open, but if the original novel doesn't have the level of "The Final Weapon", even if I agree to double open, it doesn't make any sense." ”
Yosuke Akasaka said: "Don't worry about this Mr. Araki, this work has been unanimously approved by the senior management of our editorial department, and I believe that it should be very popular in the market." ”
Araki Haku opened the file bag and said, "Then I'll take a look at it first." ”
Taking out the original manuscript of the novel printed on A4 paper, Araki Shiro was attracted to its title at first sight.
- Code Geass, Lelouch of the Rebellion
Araki Bai was stunned.
It's such a name, there can't be such a coincidence in the world, right?
Then he began to read the novel printed on paper.
In 2010, the superpower, the Holy Britannia Empire, invaded Japan in order to seize Japan's underground resources. Under the attack of the Knightmare, the powerful anthropomorphic weapon of the European Empire, Japan was conquered in less than a month, deprived of its freedoms, rights, and even the name of the country, and the Holy British Empire changed the name "Japan" to "Area 11", and the term "Japanese" was replaced by the number 11......
"What a joke!"
Araki Haku slammed the manuscript in his hand.
He recognized it at a glance, the plot of this novel is basically a copy of the plot of Bai Xue's original world-popular animation "Lelouch the Rebel"!
Araki Bai instantly fell into chaos.
Yosuke Akasaka was shocked when he saw it, thinking that Araki Haku was not interested in this novel.
But even if you don't appreciate it, shouldn't you react so much?
"Araki-sensei, you...... What do you think of this work? Yosuke Akasaka asked cautiously.
"Good." Two words popped out of Araki's white mouth.
Then, he raised his head, stared at Yosuke Akasaka with his eyes, and said, "I want to meet the author of this novel." ”
Yosuke Akasaka's body was stared at by him and involuntarily stepped back, and he forced a smile: "Of course it's okay to meet, but the author is still in Aomori's hometown." ”
Araki Hakudo: "Then I'll go to Aomori." ”
Yosuke Akasaka persuaded: "There's no need to be in such a hurry, right? I heard that the author had accepted the invitation from the editorial office and was coming to Tokyo in a few days. You'll be able to see the author when you go back at the end of your vacation...... By the way, Mr. Araki, you haven't said if you'd like to be the original artist of this novel? ”
Araki Shiro found that he did seem a little impatient.
He calmed down and said, "I'll talk about everything when I come back from vacation." But until then, you can't find another manga artist to take over this work. ”
