Is this cartoonist mentally ill?

The first episode of "Parasite Beast" is serialized, and it is also excellent.

In other words, it inherits the explosive style at the beginning of Lin Qingshan's comics as always, with the opening scene of creepy humanoid monsters devouring humans.

Then there is what happened to the male protagonist Shinichi. His right hand seemed to have undergone a mutation. Not only did he possess powerful strength, but he also had an independent self-awareness...

That is still a powerful force that can stop a high-speed car with bare hands. This is simply a thrill for many middle-aged comic fans.

The first episode of "Parasite" also aroused heated discussions among these comic fans, and they began to discuss the subsequent plot.

"Wow wow wow, he's so handsome! I really want this right hand!"

"Is the male protagonist's right hand occupied by that parasite? It seems that the setting of Qingshan Laothief's new comic is that this parasite will parasitize the human body."

"This parasite feels like a double-disc fluke and its main purpose is to parasitize the host's brain and dominate the entire body."

"So the brain of the parasitic host is the target of these parasites. Once the brain is successfully parasitized, it will become a so-called parasitic monster."

"There was a lightning strike at the opening. The plot of "Parasite" really scared me at the beginning. It continues the usual style of the old thief Qingshan and is full of blood!"

"I can only say that the male protagonist is really lucky. He just happened to sleep with headphones while listening to music, and his brain was not parasitic."

"Who is a serious person who listens to music to sleep?! Can he really fall asleep like this?"

"I sometimes have insomnia and listen to some soothing music to sleep, so this is actually not bad."

"I understand, I will sleep with my headphones on from now on!"

"This time the male protagonist actually has both parents? This surprises me..."

"David, Agni, and Denji think it's great!"

…

"A parasitic beast...a man-eating monster transformed by parasitic human brain?"

Yang Shuzhun was also paying close attention to Lin Qingshan's new work "Parasite". After reading it, he said.

"It feels similar to the beginning of "Chainsaw Man", but it doesn't have the hero fighting at the beginning like in "Chainsaw Man"."

Assistant Tang Wei on the side also commented at this time.

It is true that "Chainsaw Man" and "Parasite" have slightly similar beginnings. They both start to throw away the settings and shape the character of the male protagonist in the first episode.

However, the male protagonist Shinichi of "Parasite" is obviously not as miserable as Denci, and his personality is relatively closer to ordinary people, and he seems a bit cowardly.

Like the male protagonist of Yang Shuzhun's "Clan of Gods", his personality is a bit average, and he even appears to be a little timid than Shuai Zai.

But one thing that is better than Shaizai is that Xinyi has friends, and one of them is a pretty female classmate with good looks.

Moreover, Xinyi's parents are still alive, and they don't play the orphan start, nor do they play missing.

This is too much to lose.

Speaking of which, among Lin Qingshan's current four comics, the male protagonists of the first three "Edge Walker", "Fire Fist" and "Chainsaw Man" all started as orphans.

The male protagonist Agni of "Fire Fist" and the male protagonist Denji of "Chainsaw Man" both had no father or mother from the beginning. One was dependent on his sister, and the other was even worse and could only rely on the demon puppy Pochita.

And David, the male protagonist of "Edge Walker" is from a single-parent family. He seems to be much better than Agni and Denji, right?

But David’s mother Gloria disappeared within five chapters…

It's a joke from hell.

But look at the male protagonist of "Parasite", Zhenyi, who has both parents and cares about him very much.

Such a male protagonist starts off as a normal person who is extremely ordinary.

"The beginnings of his comics are all very good."

Yang Shuzhun responded calmly, "I just don't know what will happen next. I hope he won't escape again this time."

He was actually a little dissatisfied that Lin Qingshan stopped publishing "Chainsaw Man" and started a new comic series.

If this is the case, no matter how exciting the third part of his "Protoss" is, it will still be a win over Lin Qingshan's new work.

After all, the popularity of "Protoss" has always been accumulated by long-term fans.

Compared to "Parasite Beast", that advantage is huge.

Although "Parasite" is Lin Qingshan's new work, Lin Qingshan can definitely rely on his own fame to attract popularity for "Parasite".

But "Parasite" and "Chainsaw Man" are two works after all.

Comic fans who like "Chainsaw Man" may not necessarily like "Parasite", even though it was drawn by the same cartoonist.

But after all, the plot, setting, and theme are all different.

Just like "Edge Walker" and "Chainsaw Man" were both drawn by Lin Qingshan, it is true that some of the comic fans who watched "Edge Walker" were lost. They did not like "Edge Walker" because of Lin Qingshan's reputation. Saw Man".

For example, Zhou Wenwei's original group chat for science fiction enthusiasts started with people who liked and discussed "Edge Walker".

But then no one talked about "Chainsaw Man."

Mainly because the audiences are different.

The same goes for "Parasite," which won't necessarily appeal to all of "Chainsaw Man's" fans.

Therefore, even if "Protoss" later performed better than "Parasite", Yang Shuzhun felt that it was not worthy of its name and was not powerful enough to win.

Faced with Yang Shuzhun's dissatisfied tone, Tang Wei shrank and did not dare to speak.

…

After Zhou Wenwei read "Parasite", he also read other works in comic magazines.

At this time, he looked at the single volume of the "Whirlpool" comic that he had just bought with Manga Magazine.

"Thriller-themed comics?"

Zhou Wenwei was suddenly full of curiosity and said, "I want to see what Qingshan's comic is like?"

As he spoke, he opened the single volume of the "Whirlpool" comic and began to read it carefully.

The strange events that happened in Black Whirlpool Town in the first episode, Shuichi’s father’s weird and fanatical love for whirlpools, even the man who rolled his eyes feverishly for whirlpools in the middle, and the last…

He twisted his body into a whirlpool and lay down in the barrel. His bones were broken and he died...

The weirdness of the various plots in the first episode and the extremely impactful distorted images already made Zhou Wenwei's hair stand on end.

This made him afraid to continue reading.

But……

"I bought them all, and it's just this comic."

Zhou Wenwei's pride caused him to continue reading the second chapter.

Above the crematorium, black smoke from the burning body of Shuichi's father was seen rising from the chimney, forming a huge black vortex in the sky.

And not only that...

"Look...the front end of the smoke is gradually coming down!"

The villagers shouted in horror, "Gradually descending... landed in that pool... yes! That's the dragonfly pool!"

"That pool is right in the center of the town..."

"Why is this so?"

Tonge listened to the discussions of the villagers next to her. She stared at the black smoke floating down. It was obvious that this was a phenomenon that violated normal rules.

But she thought of——

"The dragonfly pond is located behind my house."

At this moment, Xiuyi's mother looked at this scene in the sky and suddenly shouted in horror, "Ah——!!"

"Husband! Stop!"

She put her head in her hands and screamed, "Don't do that!"

Then when Xiuyi and everyone were confused, she said to Xiuyi, "That's your father..."

"That's just a coincidence!"

Shuichi said quickly.

Xiuyi's mother pointed to the sky in horror and said, "But... look!"

Everyone immediately looked to the sky, and finally saw...

The twisted vortex of black smoke gathered and dissipated in the sky, seeming to vaguely form a twisted human face... That was the face of Shuichi's father!

Seeing this twisted face, fear began to spread and ferment in Zhou Wenwei's heart!

This... is definitely not normal!

Shuichi's father must have been cursed or something, so he could still create such a terrifying scene even after death!

It's really scary...

Zhou Wenwei's eyes were horrified and he couldn't help but swallow his saliva, but he continued to read.

Xiuyi's mother was also greatly stimulated and was sent directly to the hospital.

But when she was in the hospital, she saw the ball of hair circling behind the nurse's head, and she immediately jumped up from the bed like a frightened bird.

Since then, Shuichi's mother has also become particularly afraid of whirlpools.

When I was hospitalized, I would be afraid of the infusion lines that would twist up during injections and infusions, and I would also be afraid of the swirling pattern formed by having my hair rolled up into a ball.

To do this, she simply shaved off all her hair.

Even in the end, she saw that the fingerprints on her ten fingers were all in the shape of swirls, so she used scissors to cut off all the fingerprints on her hands and feet.

"Oh my god! What an unclean thing this is!"

This made Zhou Wenwei's scalp numb, and he was so afraid of the vortex that he even committed self-harm.

The bloody fingers of Xiu Yi's mother in the cartoon made his hair stand on end.

A normal person who is so afraid of whirlpools is obviously the same as Shuichi's father...

It was also influenced by supernatural powers!

So far, nothing has emerged as to what caused the drastic changes in Xiuichi's family.

"What the hell is this..."

Zhou Wenwei continued to read patiently. Seeing Xiu Yi's crazy self-mutilation behavior in the comic, he even felt a little phantom pain.

But this time, the swirl patterns all over Shuichi's mother's body also disappeared.

Moreover, Xiuyi and the doctors and nurses at the hospital tried their best to avoid letting Xiuyi's mother see the whirlpool.

But at this time, Xiuyi discovered to his horror...

Shuichi’s mother actually has a whirlpool on her body!

That is the cochlea located in the human ear canal!

If Shuichi's mother knew about it, it would definitely trigger her self-mutilation behavior again.

So Shuichi has been hiding it from his mother since then, and he only told Kirie about it.

This made Tonge very scared.

And just when Shuichi tried his best to conceal this matter...

In the hospital late at night.

Xiuyi's mother was sleeping peacefully on the hospital bed, but at this moment...

There was a rustling sound next to her, and a centipede quietly climbed onto her bed, waking her up.
