134. The opening game

On February 21st, the school opened, and coincidentally, today is also the date when the new issue of Fantasy magazine will be released.

The headline lottery of the new issue of the magazine,Naturally, it is Luo Shaocong, the champion of the Golden Apple Cup,The eye-catching red letters on the home page are also noted,The highly anticipated new serialized work!

For this reason, Chen Nan is still a little emotional, because the title of Liang Yu's first serialization was: Red Dragon Gold Award Winner - The First Serialization of the Genius Middle School Student Group. I feel that the selling point is all focused on the author's age, but when "Chess Soul" was first serialized, the editorial department was really not very optimistic, and in comparison, Luo Shaocong's support rate was almost one-sided.

Unlike the award-winning short story, the new serialization gave him a full 53 pages to draw the first episode.

The story takes place on a dark and rainy night, and bizarre deaths continue to occur, making the whole city panic, and no one dares to go out in the middle of the night.

The police followed the fragmented clues and found that the deceased had died a tragic death, often with his throat cut and his internal organs hollowed out, very similar to Jack the Ripper who was once popular in the Victorian era, and at this time, a message from a self-proclaimed Justice Jack circulated in the campus BBS of Xinfeng High School.

The poster claimed that he had the power to sanction the sins and lives of others, and that he decided the lives and deaths of others by voting.

At first, everyone regarded this as a malicious joke made by boring people through this murder, but when the prophecy of the killing came true, everyone was shocked to find that the murderer was beside them.

So the police,The protagonist with a mysterious experience,All gathered in this school that seems to have been cursed.。

The plot of the first episode is roughly like this, with layers of foreshadowing, to render such a tense and terrifying space, from this point of view, it is simply a suspense drama, but when Liang Yu met Luo Shaocong, he asked him with Chen Nan, about the theme of this work, in fact, it still revolves around the ability given by the devil, spelling their expectations, and coming to a contest about life and death, wisdom and strength.

The content of this kind of story is incompatible with the mainstream battle comics, but you can't say that it is not a combat comic, and it is not lacking in the elements of combat comics, such as novel abilities, almost all popular comics, the protagonist has the same two ingenious abilities, such as Kenshin's mastery of the Flying Sword Stream, Urahan Yusuke's spirit bullet, aura wave boxing, Wukong's turtle school qigong and realm king fist. These tricks can not only help the protagonist turn the tables at a critical time, but also be highly recognizable, causing readers to imitate and topical.

Moreover, the work itself is not limited to fighting, but raises the level of combat to the level of mutual calculation, which is actually not uncommon, especially widely used in battle royale scripts, in a claustrophobic space, everyone is a potential enemy, thinking about how to kill each other and let themselves live. It's just that usually this type of story is too bloody and cruel, it is a collision of **naked humanity, and in shonen comics, this undoubtedly needs to be restrained, but undoubtedly, this is very attractive.

Generally speaking, when creating a story, the author needs to calculate when to foreshadow, when to **, to maintain the reader's reading experience, but like this atmosphere full of suspense and tension, the pace is very fast, and the reader is almost suspenseful to read a week's share, naturally, there will be some expectations for the next plot, conform, when filling in the reader's reply, the popularity of this work will also rise, so, the editorial department has expectations for Luo Shaocong and his new serial, It makes sense.

Of course, everything has two sides, as Liang Yu's editor Guo Pinyuan commented, this kind of theme of comics is very exquisite to the author's skills, you write too fancy and fantasy, people have no sense of substitution, but you write too real can't, some content can't be published in juvenile magazines. And you must deal with the relationship between the plot and the characters, otherwise you will always be tense and will not be relieved, or you will always draw irrelevant things without stubble, and readers will not buy it.

However, considering that Luo Shaocong's editor is Mr. Ye Chuan, Luo Shaocong may have heard these things from Ye Chuan.

Of course, it's still uncertain what the future of "Pandora's Game" will be, but one thing is clear, the day after the release of Fantasy, Ye Chuan received the first result of "Pandora's Game" in his hand, and three days later, Friday's statistics of this newspaper, "Pandora's Game" is still the unshakable first, with a score of 482 votes, which is said to be 75 votes different from the number of votes in second place (a total of 1000 reader surveys in this newspaper).

As a newcomer to the new serial,This result is not to say the best ever,It's also among the best,The editors in the editorial department were surprised at the same time,But they didn't take it too seriously.,After all, the new serialization has the bonus of the roll jackpot and the Golden Apple Cup champion.,It's still within the acceptable range to be able to come up with this result.,But,When the results were released in the second week,Everyone felt like they were about to lose their mouths.。

2nd place!

"Pandora's Game" lost by just 10 votes to the number one manga with the jackpot bonus, Kenshin Rogue, which was an incredible first after the end of "Dragon Pig", a new serialization that almost beat a fantasy manga in the second episode of what should have been a drop in popularity.

No, with a difference of 10 votes, if the range of votes is expanded, maybe the result will change.

Just when Liu Kannan, the editor-in-charge of Teacher Heyue, wiped his head full of cold sweat and breathed a sigh of relief, everyone in the editorial department couldn't help but leave a question mark in their hearts.

How far can this newcomer author and his work go to win the Golden Apple Cup?

Without the jackpot, the second episode, which should have declined in both plot trend and freshness, still maintains the surprisingly strong "Pandora's Game", what will be the outcome of the next episode.

The mood of the editors in the editorial department was surging, some were surprised, some were anxious, and some even ran impatiently to have a meeting with the author, only Ye Chuan took the report card of this newspaper in his hand and smiled toothily.

"It's not bad, and then it's time to surprise you."
