Is this cartoonist mentally ill?

"I want to remember everything..."

The boy with glasses looked at the sad face of "Lucy" in the "EdgeWalker" comic in front of him and began to recall slowly.

Then, under his monologue, he began to narrate the plot in reverse.

When he was rewatching the animation of "EdgeWalker" on his mobile phone, something unexpected happened.

In the animation, when Lucy was dealing with the hackers pursued by Arasaka, her mobile phone suddenly had garbled characters and even a blue screen with an error message appeared at the end.

Just when the protagonist thought that the phone was broken, he could suddenly see the animation again...

But there was an unexpected turn in the animation.

"Damn! Is it Arasaka's people?"

Lucy in the animation said angrily.

Then the male protagonist suddenly found that the scene around him turned and he came to a strange space.

There were two other people in the space, one of whom was the familiar... Lucy, the heroine of "EdgeWalker"!

The other one was a girl with twin ponytails in military uniform, but he didn't know who she was.

However, the uniformed girl attacked Lucy. Lucy would not sit still and wait for death. She drew her gun and used her single-molecule line prosthesis to fight.

But Lucy was no match for the uniformed girl on the opposite side. After all, she was a hacker.

But now the uniformed girl she was facing obviously did not have a network access warehouse installed in her brain, so Lucy could only fight with guns and single-molecule line prosthesis.

However, she was not the opponent on the opposite side.

Just when Lucy was about to be killed by the uniformed girl on the opposite side, it was the protagonist... who suddenly took Lucy away from this world and returned to his room.

The story started with this tempting beginning. Later, Lucy listened to the protagonist's narration and understood this world to some extent.

The uniformed girl appeared again and smiled at Lucy and said, "... Welcome to this world where the creators enjoy pleasure and indulgence!"

Then Lucy and the protagonist fled again. Finally, when there was no way to avoid it, Lucy was forced to fight with the uniformed girl again.

Of course, she would not be his opponent, but at this moment, a short-haired girl with a magic mark on her back appeared and helped Lucy and the male protagonist.

This girl, who obviously came from the fantasy magic world, was obviously not as powerful as Lucy, and could even tie with the girl in military uniform on the opposite side.

After repelling the girl in military uniform, she revealed her identity to Lucy and the male protagonist. It turned out that she also came from...

the world of a certain fantasy work.

Then the three-episode plot ended here.

After reading it, Lin Qingshan's eyes lit up, and he thought... this was quite good.

And he and Lucy from "Edge Walker" were added as characters in this comic...

Lin Qingshan certainly didn't think it was offensive, but rather quite interesting.

At the same time, he suddenly thought that comic fans would definitely be attracted by this.

So, Chen Chunqiang's comics had a lot of advantages from the beginning.

On the contrary, Wu Shiqing's "Demon Slayer" was a bit at a disadvantage.

In fact, this was indeed the case at the beginning of this comic world newcomer award.

Chen Chunqiang's "Re: The Creator" has received a lot of attention.

This time, Lin Qingshan's fans did not directly conclude that "Re: The Creator" illegally borrowed characters and settings, as they did with "Jujutsu Kaisen" before.

Instead, after searching, they confirmed that Chen Chunqiang was also Lin Qingshan's former comic assistant, so they felt relieved to join the pit and began to make fun of the plot.

"Wow, the paper man has come to reality."

"The characters in the works of the old thief Aoyama have come to reality? If they knew about the existence of the old thief Aoyama, they would hate him to death."

"I can only say that it's lucky that it was Lucy. If David came, wow, it would be fun to watch."

"I can only say that Lucy is actually more cruel than David. I really want to know what the setting of this comic is later? Can the comic author change the ending of the story?"

"David and Lucy are easy to discuss. I suspect that if it was Kiritsugu who came through, he would definitely use guns to force the old thief Aoyama to change the plot."

"Hhhh ​​Kiritsugu would really be like this. Unless it is really impossible to achieve like the Holy Grail, Kiritsugu would really kill him."

"I strongly suggest that the comic author add Kiritsugu later. This is the plot I want to see!"

"Yeah, anyway, the comic author is the apprentice of the old thief Aoyama. "Edgewalker" has been drawn, and "Fate" is not bad. Zero, let's draw it!"

"Speaking of which, Aoyama is really amazing. Not only is he amazing, but his three assistants have also become cartoonists."

"Akutami Gege's Jujutsu Kaisen has basically booked the position of the new king of the comic world this time, and it is really good-looking, and it has already been animated."

"And this time, the absolute strong man and Gotouge Koyoharu, it seems that their painting skills are all like Aoyama's, it is really good-looking."

"I am more optimistic about Re: The Creator, but Demon Slayer looks okay."

"Demon Slayer also learned Aoyama's food setting. If it weren't for the name, I would have thought that Aoyama had started a new work."

"Aoyama's favorite, the monster eating people setting, Koyoharu Gotouge's Demon Slayer is really like Aoyama's style."

"This is a master's disciple. Aoyama is good at drawing comics, and his three assistants are also so good. It's amazing."

"That's... Old thief Aoyama is not just good at drawing comics!"

...

Both Chen Chunqiang and Wu Shiqing received some attention because of Lin Qingshan.

In addition to the attention of comic fans, many marketing accounts and serious UP hosts also wrote tweets and made videos about this matter as a joke.

So Akutami Yuta, Chen Chunqiang and Wu Shiqing were also mentioned together, and the outside world called them the three disciples of Lin Qingshan.

What surprised comic fans later was that these three disciples of Lin Qingshan really became professional cartoonists, and their works became more and more beautiful and their popularity became higher and higher.

First of all, Akutami Yuta, who became a professional cartoonist first, has already reserved the position of the rookie king of the last comic world rookie comic award... There is actually nothing to say about this.

After all, everyone knows it.

But then the first season of "Jujutsu Kaisen" animation was broadcast and it was a great success!

It even broke the circle and became the new season overlord of the season.

The popularity of the comic "Jujutsu Kaisen" also rebounded because of the explosion after the animation.

After watching the animation of "Jujutsu Kaisen", the audience of animation fell into the manga.

For a while, the popularity of the manga "Jujutsu Kaisen" came to the third place in the weekly ranking, second only to Lin Qingshan's "Dao Guiyixian" and the perennial background board "True Dragon God Selection".

Akutami Yuta is very popular.

Like the one-eyed cat teacher in his previous life, after the animation was a great success, he suddenly became a super popular new generation cartoonist like Lin Qingshan after he finished "Edge Walker".

The second is Chen Chunqiang and Wu Shiqing. The subsequent "Re: Creator" and "Demon Slayer" also have a climax, and the popularity of the two is extremely high.

However, in this year's Newcomer Grand Prix, in addition to "Re: Creator" and "Demon Slayer" by Chen Chunqiang and Wu Shiqing.

There is also a dark horse, that is, "Douluo Dalu" drawn by Tang Wei, Yang Shuzhun's former assistant.

The exciting plots and competition of the three works are quite similar to what the fans called the "Battle of Gods and Demons" when "Chainsaw Man" and "Protoss" competed.

Even the fans said that another golden age of comics is coming.

…

"The new generation of cartoonists... are really formidable."

Feng Yiyuan, who had just returned to China, put down his mobile phone and said with some emotion and some relief, "Not bad, I didn't expect that I missed so many wonderful rising stars after traveling for half a year."

"Zhizhuo, you have to work hard too."

"Yes... Teacher."

Ning Zhizhuo responded with enthusiasm, "I will work hard next time."

After getting the answer from his assistant, Feng Yiyuan nodded with satisfaction.

Because "Purple Air Coming from the East" was completed three years ago, his wife proposed to travel abroad.

Feng Yiyuan thought about how he had neglected his family too much in order to serialize "Purple Air Coming from the East" over the years.

So he traveled abroad with his family for half a year with a guilty mood, and brought Ning Zhizhuo with him.

Because he saw that Ning Zhizhuo seemed to be under a lot of pressure in his previous creation.

In order to prevent this assistant and distant nephew from being too stressed, they went out for a trip together.

Ning Zhizhuo also relaxed a lot and was not under so much pressure.

Feng Yiyuan accompanied his family, which was a two-birds-with-one-stone move.

"I have to catch up on my comics too."

At this time, Feng Yiyuan smiled and said, "I haven't read Qingshan's "The Strange Immortal Dao" for a long time. There are so many of his works, as well as the works of those young men. I have to take a good look at them."

He picked up the seven or eight volumes of "The Strange Immortal Dao" in front of him.

He bought this when he came back.

For "middle-aged and elderly people" like him, it is better to read paper comics.

"Then I won't bother you, teacher."

Ning Zhizhuo went away tactfully.

Although he actually wanted Feng Yiyuan to follow him to create new works.

"Okay, Zhizhuo, keep up the good work."

Feng Yiyuan waved his hand and said.

After Ning Zhizhuo left, Feng Yiyuan sat at the tea table, drinking tea leisurely while reading the comics of "Dao Wei Yi Xian".

In fact, he had missed more than a year of serialized plots of "Dao Wei Yi Xian".

Although he went on a trip with his family half a year ago, he made the decision a year ago.

After making the decision, he first completed the subsequent work, such as cooperating with the promotion of the theatrical version, the promotion of the final season of the animation, and some book signings that he promised to hold in the comic industry.

So he hasn't read the serialized comics of "Dao Wei Yi Xian" for more than a year.

But even if he hasn't read it for more than a year, he still remembers most of the plot.

For example, the protagonist Li Huowang fought hard with his companions and finally killed Peng Longteng, the general of the thief army of Hou Shu.

It's just that Peng Longteng, the headless general, and Jinshan's search for this acquaintance with only the upper body became Li Huowang's "illusion".

Feng Yiyuan directly followed the opening plot of the single volume, reviewed this part of the plot, and then continued to read.

Although Peng Longteng, the headless general, and Jin Shanzhao, the acquaintance with only the upper body, became Li Huowang's "illusions", these two "illusions" were better to Li Huowang than Yingzi and Danyangzi before.

At least they couldn't talk.

One had no head, so it was nonsense to talk.

The other couldn't talk for some reason.

But Li Huowang still wanted to know why.

So he turned to the monk for help with this "illusion".

But the monk couldn't get anything out of him.

And Li Huowang's actions made his companions feel that he was becoming more and more abnormal.

In this way, although Li Huowang's behavior frightened his companions along the way, there were no more accidents or enemies.

They came to Qingqiu, the hometown of another companion, Sun Baolu.

However, at this time, Li Huowang still did not change his cautious character and asked Sun Baolu directly if there were any strange forces or masters in Qingqiu.

It can be said that he was extremely cautious.

After all, he encountered so many such weird guys before, and they all got into trouble.

At this moment, Li Huowang really didn't believe anyone. Even if a group of guys who looked like famous and upright people really appeared, he would be on guard to see if they were coming for him.

And Sun Baolu actually mentioned that there was a group of Luojiao lamas in Qingqiu.

"Luojiao Lama? There is another Lama?"

Feng Yiyuan exclaimed, "Good fellow, Luojiao is weird enough, and there is also Lamaism..."

It can be said that it is the style of Qingfeng Temple in Danyangzi, and Luojiao and Lamaism are even more terrifying than Qingfeng Temple.

As a result, Luojiao was added in front of Lama...

That's even more amazing.

Because Luojiao is the predecessor of White Lotus Sect, and its founder Luo Qing is called "Wusheng Laozu".

It is conceivable that Luojiao is not a good thing.

Then can this Luojiao Lama be a good person?

But Li Huowang in the comics doesn't know this.

But when he heard what Sun Baolu said, even if he didn't know where the Luojiao Lama came from, he immediately became cautious.

And in the following plot, he found that Qingqiu was also very unusual.

The noodles were green, there were only tents in the inn, and human bones were everywhere. Slaves were bought and sold openly, and there were dead people and rampant corpses.

From Sun Baolu, Li Huowang also learned about the beliefs of the people of Qingqiu.

They believe that everything in the world is decided by Changshengtian, and the reincarnation of all living beings is under the control of Changshengtian.

At night, the moon is Changshengtian's navel, and the entire Mahakala is Changshengtian's shadow, projected under the illumination of two candles.

During the day, the sun is the two candles held in Changshengtian's hands, and Changshengtian silently watches all living beings behind the candles.

"The belief system on the grassland?"

At this point, Feng Yiyuan couldn't understand, and said, "The background of "Daogui" is the folk culture of the Republic, which is the most primitive and bloody folk culture, and it also incorporates some cult chieftain culture."

"Yes, the traditional culture of immortals, gods, ghosts and monsters is not likely to be all positive orthodox Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism. We must also consider the primitive and dark side of these cultures."

When he thought of this, he admired Lin Qingshan even more.
