Chapter 57: The Forum Blows Up
The next day, Nanako Toshida came to the Faculty of Letters, and the first thing she did was to recommend the book to her companions.
"Go and see it, it's definitely a great value book! Its story is unimaginably wonderful! ”
Toshida enthusiastically recommended it to his close friend.
Her good friend Shinyo Ogata said, "Who wrote this, I haven't heard of this book." ”
"It's a rookie author's work, but it's really beautiful!" Toshida said with perseverance, and suddenly thought of something: "And this is the work recommended by Mika Miyano to enter the Naoki Prize." ”
"Mika Miyano recommended it?" Ogata said, "In that case, it seems to be worth a look. ”
Mayo Ogata is a fan of Mika Miyano, and she will definitely consider reading the works recommended by Mika Miyano.
"What about the book "Aurora 2"? Have you seen it? "Mayo Ogata is also a fan of Makoto Watanabe.
Nanako Toshida hesitated for a moment and said, "I don't think this book is new, and it can't be compared to "White Night Walking" at all. ”
"Ah, how can this be?" Mayo Ogata looked a little disappointed.
Toshida hurriedly comforted his companion: "This is just my personal opinion, I hope you will like this book." ”
Ogata Shinyo nodded, and then turned his head and saw that a senior sister in the ministry was also reading a book, and when he looked at it, it turned out to be "White Night Walking".
"Senior sister, are you also reading this book?" Toshida hurriedly asked.
The senior sister turned around, her eyes were red, and she nodded: "I've finished reading it, this is the second time I've watched it...... It's a really good book. ”
Nanako Toshida nodded desperately: "I think so too, among all the mystery novels I've read over the years, I think the story of "White Night Walking" is the most touching......"
The senior sister pushed her glasses: "I cried when I watched it the first time, and I still couldn't hold back my tears when I watched it again." My tears were shed for Ryoji Kirihara, and the second time I watched it, it was for him...... I read between the lines to find proof that Yukiho loves him. ”
"Does Yukiho really love Ryoji?"
Senior Sister nodded: "I think so." ”
Shiyo Ogata watched the two discuss passionately, and couldn't help but be a little speechless, these two women went crazy?
What kind of book is "White Night Walking", and how can it have such magic?
I'll buy a copy and take a look.
Back at home, Nanako Toshida couldn't help but turn on the computer, log on to the online forum, and began to read the discussion thread about "White Night Walking".
At this moment, the discussion on the Internet forum about "White Night Walking" is gradually heating up.
Among them, the emotional issue between Yukiho Karasawa and Ryoji Kirihara was naturally the focus of their discussion.
Did Yukiho love Ryoji? Have you always loved it, or have you ever loved it? Or did she ever love someone else? Does she feel this way of loving?
Was she born bad? The experience of being sexually abused in her childhood inspired her to be evil? Or was it the evil that created her? If she had spent her life like an ordinary child, would she have been a kind person?
What happens to Yukiho? Will she be able to prostrate herself? Will you go all the way on the path of the evil girl?
Netizens who read this book expressed their opinions on the Internet, and later even divided into two sides, and began to exclude dissidents, and the smell of gunpowder in the forum gradually became stronger.
Nanako Toshida also expressed her opinion: she believes that Yukiho loves Ryoji, and the love between the two is just beyond the ordinary love between men and women, but a more consolidated dependence. This can be seen from Officer Sasahara's description of the two, saying that the two are like gobies and spear shrimp, which is really appropriate.
However, not long after this opinion post was published, it was refuted by others, and the other party's words when refuting her were not very friendly, and Toshida was not good at arguing with people, so he was too scared to speak out.
And just when the war on the Internet about "White Night Walking" was about to break out, an anonymous post caught everyone's attention and quickly quelled the dispute.
"After watching "White Night Walking", I cried all night. Because I am the real Tang Ze Xuesui, I was sexually assaulted by my stepfather when I was a child. ”
"But I didn't have Ryoji to protect me in the dark, I didn't have a good cop who was bent on finding out the truth, and I didn't have the courage to take revenge on others."
"For all the years after being sexually assaulted, I had to rely on sleeping pills to fall asleep, in fact, it was not difficult for me to fall asleep, but I was afraid of dreaming, I was afraid of dreaming of my stepfather. Although he had passed away from cancer, I was still afraid that he would be resurrected in my dreams. ”
"I want to die. I want to die all the time. But I'm afraid I'll meet him when I die. ”
"'White Night Walking' is a wonderful but unrealistic dream for me, and I hope that I can also become Karasawa Yukiho and make this world that has hurt me pay the price."
"But I have to say that it takes courage and talent to be a bad person, and I'm sorry I don't have such a thing."
As soon as the post was released, it quickly gained huge popularity, and countless people commented on the post, all comforting her, and some people also identified themselves as psychiatrists, willing to provide psychological treatment for this poor girl for free.
The post caused a huge repercussion in the online world, and even though the influence of the Internet on reality was still quite limited at this time, the post still appeared on an NHK program discussing how to protect minors from illegal abuse.
As soon as the program was broadcast, it caused a great response. The host's words in the program were deafening:
"If you look at our country, there are many people who have been hurt like this, there are children, there are adults, there are single mothers, there are even the elderly, and sometimes there are men. Why do people always get hurt like this? Why is there always something dirty that wants to get into someone else's body? The pornography industry in our country is often criticized for teaching bad children, but aren't all criminals adults? Aren't all people who rent discs at a rental disc shop also adults? Rather than thinking about how not to teach bad children all day long, I think it's important to think about how to keep adults from being bad. ”
……
"The 40,000 copies of "White Night Walking" have been sold out and need to be reprinted."
Kazuhiko Itagaki tried to suppress his excitement and said to Kawaguchi Shin.
Nobu Kawaguchi said, "I know, the factory has been notified, and the second batch will come out soon." ”
"Minister, how many copies are you going to print in the second batch?"
Kawaguchi Shin thought for a moment and said, "150,000 copies." ”
Itagaki Kazuhiko's face was happy, he originally thought that the second batch of copies would be good if the printing volume reached 100,000 copies, but he didn't expect it to be 150,000 copies.
It can be seen that the response to this book is really good!
"The bookstore has been urging our company many times, and the phone number of the editorial department is about to burst." Kawaguchi Shin pinched Yamane and said, looking a little troubled, but in fact, the joy was almost impossible to hide.
"Itagaki, you've done a great job this time." Nobu Kawaguchi smiled approvingly at Kazuhiko Itagaki.
At this moment, Nagaji Ohno was a little dazed by the empty bookshelves, and seeing that the last copy of "White Night Walking" was also bought, the clerk said to him with some excitement: "Boss, you are too prescient, you have made a lot of money this time, how do you know that this book will sell well?" ”
Ohno Nagaji was silent for a long time, and muttered silently: "How do I know...... I thought I was going to lose money......"
