The Creator of the Second Dimension

At the end of June, Ningjiang is extremely hot.

The noisy cicadas made people's ears hurt. In the Ningjiang High-tech Development Zone, a dark blue car with the New Frontline Media brand was parked at the door of a slightly dilapidated four-story building.

Li Ruoxuan, who was carrying a black schoolbag, opened the door and got out of the car. She was wearing a printed short-sleeved T-shirt, slim jeans, and sneakers. She is a college student who just came out of school, in fact, she has just graduated for a year.

In an instant, from the low temperature of the air conditioner in the car to the heat of Ningjiang outside, the loud cicadas immediately enveloped the newcomer editor. Li Ruoxuan confirmed the address on the phone and looked up at the building.

"Is this the company?"

Li Ruoxuan walked into the shadow of the hall on the first floor, and saw the simple sign printed on A4 paper and the four characters of "Phantom Animation", she was a little uneasy. I felt that I might be kidnapped and sold.

Following the guidance and going upstairs, Li Ruoxuan finally heard a sound.

It was the occasional click of the keyboard and some special sliding sound.

She poked her head out from the stairwell, and saw a few desks in the middle of the huge studio. In front of the desk, a girl was focusing on the screen.

The girl is wearing a wine-red dress, with her left hand on the keyboard, and her right hand holding a pen, drawing on the digital board. She wears headphones, looks serious, and exudes an aura that strangers should not get close to.

"Is this a professional animator?"

This is the first time for Li Ruoxuan to visit the animation company. Although the other facilities here are a bit shabby, Li Ruoxuan is still a little impressed by the girl's painting.

She couldn't help but move closer, wanting to see what this young girl drew, but when she took a closer look, Li Ruoxuan immediately froze in place.

Because the girl's screen is not a world-famous painting, but a first-person view of a gun in hand. The girl flexibly manipulates the game characters to move around, and then shoots the headshot to the opposite side, just like a professional player.

This is the scene of summoning in the battlefield. Li Ruoxuan has heard about it. She has never played it, but she has seen others play it. If the girl's operation is a well-trained soldier, then the boys in the Internet cafe that Li Ruoxuan saw before are simply toddlers. .

Li Ruoxuan glanced at the girl's kill count, it has exceeded fifty, and more importantly, the number of deaths is actually zero! ! !

"No, why are there people who play games in the animation company?"

Li Ruoxuan couldn't help crying out, which attracted the attention of others.

"It's lunch break now, as long as it doesn't affect other people, you can use it freely."

A man with glasses next to him said that he was also equipped with a digital tablet and keyboard, but the latest episode of "Ningjiang Zombie 2" was playing on the computer. Li Ruoxuan watched it last night and was very impressed.

"Who are you looking for?"

A slightly hunched middle-aged man suddenly appeared from behind Li Ruoxuan. He was wearing a khaki shirt, like a cleaning uncle in charge of cleaning in the editorial department.

"Uncle, I, I'm looking for your person in charge. I'm here to talk, talk about cooperation?"

Li Ruoxuan was taken aback, and said in a panic.

"Is it the Xueluo editor of the Monthly Youth Frontline?"

A voice came from the other side of the desk, Li Ruoxuan looked over, it was a very young boy, tidy up very sunny, he walked over with a document in his hand, and extended his hand to Li Ruoxuan.

"I'm Xu Rui, the person in charge of Fantastic Animation. Nice to meet you."

Li Ruoxuan shook hands with the other party hesitantly. Xu Rui's fingers were slender, but a little rough. Li Ruoxuan was deeply impressed by the touch of calluses. She remembered that Teacher A Chuang's hands were also like this.

Maybe it's the same for people who paint.

"this way please."

Xu Rui pointed to the conference room on the side, and called Shang Chengke, and the three of them walked in. After some simple greetings and introductions, Li Ruoxuan took out a thick stack of documents in her schoolbag.

"These are the plans before "Soul Eater", some sorted materials, and"

She spoke fluently, and her proficiency made people feel distressed. Li Ruoxuan had said these words to many animation companies before, but none of those companies had plans to take over the "Soul Eater" animation.

Originally, these tasks should be handled by the colleagues in charge of copyright contact, but the nature of "Monthly Teenage Frontline" is special, and the editor who knows the content of comics best will also participate in it. At the same time, because "Soul Eater" has been sentenced by the copyright department The death penalty was imposed, so only Li Ruoxuan was running around here by herself.

"Please wait a moment, editor Xueluo, before we talk about animation, I want to ask you how much you know about "Soul Eater"."

Xu Rui reached out and held down the file that Li Ruoxuan was about to open, and said.

"Uh, "Soul Eater" is the debut work of Mr. A Chuang, it's a story about eliminating demons."

Li Ruoxuan roughly talked about the plot.

The story of "Soul Eater" is very domineering and very simple. Bai Jianshi, a high school student, has been able to see ghosts since he was a child. Li Leshen, a high school student in "Ze", learned the truth of the world from her mouth, and joined the Supernatural Disaster Office of the Natural Environment Bureau.

"Who is the character in this story that impresses you the most?"

After Xu Rui heard Li Ruoxuan's narration, she nodded slightly, as if she was assessing her basic ability as a responsible editor.

"Uh, it should be the heroine Li Leshen. She is strong and confident, but she looks like a little girl in front of the hero, especially when she came out, she stepped on Bai Ze with a Pocky stick in her mouth. , very handsome!"

Although Li Ruoxuan is a new editor, she still carefully read every work on "Youth Frontline Monthly", and she didn't panic at all when faced with Xu Rui's question.

"Speaking of which, do you know why the heroine Li Leshen often has a Pocky stick in her mouth?"

Xu Rui paused, then continued to ask.

"In the current plot, Li Leshen has almost never drawn out a sword, but according to other people's descriptions, she is also a master of swords. Why is that? Huangfu Xun who appeared in Chapter 18, she and Li Le What is the relationship with God like?"

Xu Rui's series of questions made Li Ruoxuan's face full of question marks. Although she had watched "Soul Eater" carefully, she had never thought about such questions carefully, nor did she dig into these settings in depth. Some hindsight.

"Hey, so to speak, it seems."

She took out a notebook, the cover of which was decorated with beautiful tape, Li Ruoxuan turned to one of the pages, here are the notes she made while reading "Soul Eater".

"Teacher A Chuang said that Huangfuxun knew Li Leshen before, and the relationship was quite good, but he didn't think about the specifics. The reason why he designed this character was just to show Li Leshen's past. The plot of breaking the past is very common in Wangdao comics."

"So, are you curious about how this character interacted with Li Leshen in the past, and how did Li Leshen become what he is now?"

Xu Rui said earnestly and kindly, and then took out a plan from his side.

There are three words written on it.

"Soul Eater: Zero".
