Is this cartoonist mentally ill?

Gu Qianli and Lin Qingshan took Pochita to the center of Magic City to find a restaurant that they had eaten at before and tasted good.

After they ordered their food, they started chatting.

"Speaking of Qingshan, what is Makima's identity?"

Gu Qianli could no longer suppress his inner curiosity and asked Lin Qingshan.

"Ah, you said this."

Lin Qingshan thought for a while and then said, "What I tell you is a spoiler. It may affect your perception of watching "Chainsaw Man" next. Do you really want to listen?"

"Then... let's forget it."

Gu Qianli still suppressed his curiosity and said, "But there is another thing I am very curious about..."

She looked at Lin Qingshan and asked again, "It seems...you painted "Chainsaw Man" by including yourself, Pochita and... Ayumi?"

"What?"

Lin Qingshan blinked and said somewhat unexpectedly.

"Denji is yourself Aoyama, Pochita... I definitely don't need to say more."

Gu Qianli said confidently, "And Bumei is Xiaohong, right? Every time I see Xiaohong, I feel very similar to Bumei. Bumei always looks very cautious and timid, just like Xiaohong in the comics. The performance is very similar, but Qingshan you just exaggerated some of your performance."

Lin Qingshan blinked and thought about it carefully... So Ayumi really looks like Dongshan Xiaohong in "Chainsaw Man".

At least the personalities are quite similar.

This was something he didn't expect...

As for Denji's resemblance to himself?

Why doesn't he think so? You and Denji have two different personalities, right?

And he’s not like Denji who is obviously not a normal person, right?

He is a normal person!

It’s so normal that it can’t be normal anymore!

As for Pochita... that was also because of Pochita, the chainsaw demon in "Chainsaw Man", and then Lin Qingshan rescued and adopted the puppy, so the current Pochita was named Pochita. Yes.

"No."

Lin Qingshan scratched his head and said, "In "Chainsaw Man", there is only Pochita... well, it is a character that I drew. The rest of them are just coincidences between Ayumi and me."

"No! Denji and I are nothing alike!"

Seeing Lin Qingshan swore that he was not like Denci, Gu Qianli blinked his eyes, with an expression of "Do you think I will believe you?"

"Really not?"

Gu Qianli asked again in disbelief, and then asked, "Then...Machima, did you have any reference...?"

"No."

Lin Qingshan said firmly, "Characters like Makima are rare in reality, and in the end she is nothing..."

"never mind."

He realized that he almost let something slip, so he quickly took back the words he was about to say and said.

"Makima finally..."

Gu Qianli was curious again and asked, "What happened to Makima in the end?"

"Qianli, if I say it, it will still affect your next impression."

Lin Qingshan said again.

At this time, the food was served.

"Qianli, let's eat first. You can try this ginger roasted pork first!"

He quickly picked up a piece of ginger-roasted pork, put it in Gu Qianli's bowl, and said.

"Oh well……"

Gu Qianli had no choice but to give up and start tasting the ginger-roasted pork in the bowl.

After eating, they went to play an escape room.

Lin Qingshan also played with some friends and colleagues in his previous life. He can only say that escape rooms are more novel and interactive.

However, Gu Qianli was still a little scared when he played for the first time.

The frightened Gu Qianli hid directly in Lin Qingshan's arms, but Lin Qingshan thought it didn't matter.

But he didn't notice that Gu Qianli was blushing extremely when she was hiding in his arms...

After playing the escape room, Lin Qingshan and Gu Qianli went to the vegetable market to buy vegetables, and then went home to make dinner.

After Ito Ayumi also came over, the three of them enjoyed dinner.

Then the day passed just like that.

…

The week passed quickly.

During this week, Lin Qingshan drew the 71st chapter of the Gun Demon chapter of "Chainsaw Man", as well as the first two chapters of the short thriller comic work promised to Yang Dahai.

With the blessing of the [Speed ​​Star (Diamond)] ability, there are also three assistants.

But something happened in the middle.

However, the drawing work for "Chainsaw Man" was not affected. The remaining drawings for the first two chapters of the short thriller comic were completed by Lin Qingshan himself.

Therefore, there was no pressure on Lin Qingshan to double-open, and he simply delivered the manuscript on time.

In addition to the drawings for "Chainsaw Man", there are also the drawings for the first two chapters of the short thriller comic.

He gave the drafts of the first two chapters of the short thriller comic to Yang Dahai for review.

Because the buyout price for the next comic depends on the quality of the comic work by Yang Dahai.

Lin Qingshan took the sketch and came to the comic company again.

"Teacher Qingshan, is this your new work this time?"

Yang Dahai looked at the document bag in front of him and said with some curiosity.

"yes."

Lin Qingshan said with a smile, "Didn't I say that the new magazine will be published soon? There is still one week, right?"

"Well...actually, teacher, you just need to submit the manuscript before next Wednesday."

Yang Dahai said, "After all, teacher, your "Chainsaw Man" is still being serialized."

"Fortunately, although something happened in the middle, there was still enough time."

Lin Qingshan scratched his head and said.

"Something happened?"

Yang Dahai asked curiously.

"It's just that my assistants have some psychological problems. I'll give them a holiday and go home first."

Lin Qingshan said helplessly.

In fact, when they were drawing the sketch in front of them, Wu Shiqing and the others inevitably saw the grotesque pictures he drew using his [Rusu Huazhong (Master)] ability.

Then the three of them were tricked.

Among them, Wu Shiqing, as a girl, has a naturally weak psychological defense against such fearful things.

So she looked a little depressed.

Lin Qingshan gave her a holiday first.

Later, he saw that Chen Chunqiang and Yuta Akumi were a little restless and depressed. He was worried that something would happen to them, so he gave them another holiday.

In the end, Lin Qingshan painted the rest alone.

Fortunately, Wu Shiqing and the other three had completed the drawings for "Chainsaw Man" before that.

Therefore, Lin Qingshan does not need to work on both sides.

"Is that so?"

Yang Dahai suddenly realized it and said, "Yes, you also need to pay attention to psychological problems. Teacher Qingshan, you too. If there is any problem, it is good to take a break from publication for one or two issues and go to the hospital for a checkup."

He planned to remind Lin Qingshan without leaving any trace.

After all, he had been worried about Lin Qingshan's mental condition after watching "Fist of Fire"!

"I'm actually fine."

Lin Qingshan raised his thumb and said, "And I think being a cartoonist actually gives you a lot of rest time, so I don't need any other rest time~"

The main reason is that he is a copywriter and doesn't need to think about the plot of the comic at all.

Most cartoonists are too late to submit their manuscripts, mainly because of plot setting issues, which require them to spend a lot of time conceiving.

Otherwise, plots drawn casually on the spur of the moment will easily cause dissatisfaction among comic fans.

Therefore, many cartoonists even end up handing in sketches because they don’t have enough time to submit the manuscript.

Of course, there are also cases where the plot is carefully conceived, but the result is a mess of answers, and is still scolded by comic fans.

"You still need to take a break once in a while."

After Yang Dahai finished speaking, he smiled and said, "Okay, thank you teacher for submitting the manuscript. I will read your manuscript when I get back. Now I have other things to be busy with."

Because the new magazine comic "Thriller Night" will not be released for some time, Yang Dahai is not in a hurry to read Lin Qingshan's new work.

"That's okay."

When Lin Qingshan heard this, he stood up and left.

Yang Dahai also got up and gave Lin Qingshan a ride. After all, Lin Qingshan is now a well-known cartoonist in their comics industry.

After sending Lin Qingshan off, he returned to his desk again and began to deal with his work busily.

Until it was time to get off work.

"It's finally time to get off work."

Yang Dahai breathed a sigh of relief, and then he planned to leave after get off work.

At this moment, he saw the drawing given to him by Lin Qingshan.

"By the way, I haven't read Mr. Aoyama's manga drawings yet."

Only then did Yang Dahai remember it and said.

He just put the drawing aside and went out to chat with some colleagues, but then he forgot about it.

"Then...let's take it back and see."

Yang Dahai just wanted to pick up the document bag, but suddenly he remembered the pain he felt when he watched "Fist of Fire".

He hesitated for a moment, but soon, he chuckled again and said, "This is a thriller comic, and it's not like "Fist of Fire". What should I be afraid of? I have watched dozens of horror movies. ...How can you be afraid of reading comics?”

After saying that, Yang Dahai took the document bag and drove all the way home.

After dinner with his wife and children, he took a shower and came to the study.

"The sea..."

Zhang Yanting took a cup of hot milk, brought it to Yang Dahai, and said, "Are you going to continue working again?"

"It's okay, I just want to watch it for a while, and there are only two episodes in it. I won't watch it all night like before."

Yang Dahai comforted her with a smile and said, "Just look at this sketch. I'll go back after reading it later."

Zhang Yanting felt a little relieved after hearing this.

But she still said, "Don't think about work when you get home. Can't you watch it when you go to work tomorrow?"

"Do you have time? I'm not writing this, I just have time to read it."

Yang Dahai said with a smile, "Don't worry, this time it's just a horror comic. Don't you know me? I'm the kind of person who wasn't even scared when I read "The Ring"!"

"Only you are brave."

Zhang Yanting laughed and cursed, then went back to bed to sleep.

Ten minutes later...

Zhang Yanting, who was lying on the bed, felt the quilt move on her body.

"He's back...the dead ghost..."

She muttered, turned around and hugged Yang Dahai.

But at this time, she discovered that... Yang Dahai's body was shaking uncontrollably.

When she opened her eyes again, she saw that Yang Dahai was pale and covered in cold sweat.

"Dahai? Daidai, what's wrong with you? Dahai!"

Zhang Yanting was frightened and quickly stood up and asked.

"There is...ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh that thing is coming out! It's looking at me! It's looking at me!"

Yang Dahai shouted and covered his body tightly with a quilt.

…

The weekend is here again as scheduled.

Ke Xinjie happily bought a comic magazine from the bookstore. It was another week of reading comics!

"Chainsaw Man" has begun a new "Gun Demon" chapter. After the battle with Santa Claus, some demon hunters died forever.

The only survivors are Denji, Pava, Hayakawa Akira and Angel Demon.

However, Hayakawa Akira lost one arm, while Angel Demon lost two arms.

Their arms cannot be regenerated, and since then Akira Hayakawa has become a one-armed hero.

Denji also made an agreement with Makima that this time the two of them would travel alone.

In the dream at the end of the previous chapter, Denji saw the wall again.

And then it's over.

This time Ke Xinjie went home, opened the magazine, and saw Chapter 72.

It’s just that the plot of Chapter 72 is still somewhat routine.

After leaving Pava's cat to the shore, Hayakawa Qiu, Denji and Pava went on a trip together.

But Hayakawa Akira came here this time...to pay homage to his family's graves.

And he probably came to tell his family that now he also has a new family...

That was Denji and Pava.

Seeing Denci and Pava playing around, Hayakawa Akira felt helpless.

But seeing them making trouble, he actually had no time to feel sad.

After returning from the trip, Hayakawa Akira went to see Kishi.

"Qiu, here is your little kitten."

Kishibe returned Pava's kitten to Hayakawa Akira and said.

"……Thanks."

Hayakawa Akira said.

"How about sweeping the grave?"

"More tiring than fighting demons."

"After all, Denci and Pava are not fuel-efficient lamps. You actually dare to take them two together."

The two began to chat.

However, Hayakawa Akira defended Pava and Denji at this time, saying, "Those two guys have also matured a lot."

"Denji started to obey, and Pava finally stopped throwing vegetables."

At this point, Hayakawa Qiu fell silent.

Unknowingly, he also started to like these two guys...

Ke Xinjie could feel Hayakawa Akira's mood of gradually treating Pava and Denci as family members.

"Captain Shore."

After a long silence, Hayakawa Akira said, "Soon, the expedition against the Demon of the Gun will begin..."

"Can I not participate in Class 4?"

Ke Xinjie didn't expect Hayakawa Qiu to say such words.

After all...he is probably the one who wants to kill the Gun Demon the most.

All his family members died because of the Gun Demon. He later joined the police because he wanted to find the Gun Demon and avenge his death.

Now that he has less than two years left to live, he should no longer be afraid of death.

But he came up with the idea of ​​not participating in the battle against the Gun Demon. This was naturally because...

Hayakawa Akira was afraid that Denji and Pava would die in front of him.
