Chapter 169 Short story in progress

Higashino looked at Morimichi Yamamura's new book. Originally, he was the author of mystery novels, but now he seems to have turned into magicism.

Follow the protagonist of the old couple to the countryside, and find that this place is really weird.

The room was as hot as a steamer, and the woman poured water on the ground to cool it down.

At night, even though it was winter, he was so hot that he couldn't sleep.Suddenly he heard the screams of the pigs in the pigsty. When he went to check, he found that the dog was also lying on the ground, foaming at the mouth.

The incident became more and more bizarre, Higashino swallowed his saliva, and continued to watch curiously.

There seemed to be shadows in the dark night, which disappeared inadvertently.

The next day, the couple told him that things like this would always happen. They used to be patient, but their daughter was going home soon, and they were worried that she would have an accident.

The story is paved layer by layer, and the atmosphere of suspense is very heavy.

Higashi Higashino was amazed that Yamamura Shoudao, who has not studied painting for a year, is an ordinary painter, but he is better than Kawaguchi Taro in "Dream Eater".

Although the finishing touch cannot be mentioned, the influence of the painters in the mountain village on the work is not outrageous.

At least it can immerse readers. As long as the story is good, such a painter is enough.

At the end of the story, everything is revealed.

The protagonist uses a sword to deal with the black shadow evil spirit, these bizarre events disappear, and he finally gets the reward.

Higashino Hibiki's eyebrows frowned, he couldn't imagine that this was the content of Yamamura Shodo's painting.

There is no explanation, as if there is a demon.

He flipped through the manga, and finally realized it.

Heiying is a fellow villager who likes the couple's daughter. Hearing that something strange happened in the couple's house, he stayed by the house for fear of accidents.used by the protagonist.

As for the abnormal shape of the house, it was because of the leakage of electricity that caused the iron frame of the room to heat up, and the pigs and dogs were also caused by contact with the leakage conductor...

and so……

He took on the duties of an electrician and was paid handsomely.

Seeing the protagonist in the manga proudly board the tram, and at the same time add an epic to his webpage to cure the "evil spirit of flame", Higashino burst out laughing.

"The protagonist who is so disgusting."

……

After reading the manga, Higashino became interested in this novel "Strange Detective Agency". Yamamura escaped from the framework of mystery novels, and it is undoubtedly more suitable for a serialization platform like Jump.

Compared with his last work, the progress is very obvious.

On Tuesday, Sasaki came to Higashihiro's studio.

He heard that Higashino Hibiki was drawing a short story, so he rushed over immediately.

"Don't you still have business with the animation company?" Sasaki asked doubtfully.

"Slam Dunk" plus "Funny Manga Hiyori", where does Higashino get the energy to write another short story?

Higashino waved his hand, "I have nothing to do with the animation company."

As he said, apart from providing the script, it won't take too much time.

All matters were handed over to Asahina Yuko and Minami Chiharu.

Sasaki gave him a surprised look, didn't ask any further questions, adjusted his glasses, and said solemnly: "Please let me see the storyboard of "The Great Change of Go."

Higashino handed it over, and Sasaki took it with both hands.

After a while, he nodded, "It can be serialized."

There is nothing prohibited, and the content also maintains the style of "Soul of Chess", which will not have a bad influence on the original work.

"Although it is biased, it can bring social discussion, so be it."

He returned to Jump with Higashino Hibiki's 30-page manuscript.

……

Yamamura waited for feedback from readers, and on Friday his editor reached out to him.

"Xiaozheng ranks No.1."

Such a good result made Yamamura Shoudao very excited, and he paced back and forth at home.

He took a solid step, but he was still not satisfied.

"It's just not enough to get Xiaozheng No.1 in the first episode," Yamamura clenched his fists. The first episode's score is nothing. It depends on whether he can maintain the score. If the decline is serious, he still can't escape the cut in half.

Mr. Arai's new manga "Cherry Party", the first chapter was No.2, and then fell sharply. By the fifth chapter, it was already out of ten.

In the second episode of "Strange Detective Agency", Yamamura continues the style of the previous episode. Under the premise of being interesting, it achieves a sharp contrast between the front and the back, which catches readers off guard.

The result is No.3. Although it is not as good as the first chapter, it is already very good.

Compared with "The Sun Killing Incident", the performance of the new work is undoubtedly much better.

Chapter Three... Chapter Four...

In mid-February, the results of "Strange Detective Agency" were stable at 4th to 6th, and occasionally it would be out of seven, but it was already the backbone of Jump.

"It's ok! It's definitely ok!" Yamamura clenched his fists, "As long as it develops like this and my story is laid out, I can catch up with Tori Akino Mirai!"

This is one of his motivations for drawing comics. Unfortunately, he has never been able to see the future. Now he is equally small, but he finally has a direction to work hard.

……

Internet chat room is a discussion group about comics.

Yichan: "Have you watched Jump's latest serial work "Strange Detective Agency"? I think the setting is very interesting!"

A Zhai: "Of course I have read the comics on Jump. In "Slam Dunk", the competition between Xiangbei and Xiangyang is so fierce! Coach Xiangyang has begun to warm up."

Takasugi: "Miyagi Ryota did really well!"

Yichan: "I'm talking about "Strange Detective Agency"!"

Tu Gen: "I've read this work, but I didn't expect the roar in the middle of the night to be a snoring sound. The author's whimsy really surprised me."

Yichan: "It feels like a promising work."

A Zhai: "I also like this work. But do you know a cartoon called "Funny Manga Hiyori"?"

Yijiang: "What?"

Tu Gen: "I don't know."

A Zhai: "It's a very exciting instant noodle show! If you don't watch it, you will regret it! Especially the latest plot, the meteorite falls from the sky, and the earth is about to be destroyed. People have begun to show their hidden sides.

Being naked on the show is a perverted singer.

The cute youth idol singer in normal clothes is exposed as a 25-year-old bad girl who smokes and has a bunch of bad habits.

There is also a ventriloquist, who ravages the dolls who were once regarded as companions! "

Excited, A Zhai typed out a lot of words segment by segment.It can be seen that he loves this work.

He continued to type: "The former magician was a superpower who bounced off the meteorite and saved the world."

Yichan: "Hey! I'm more curious about the next content!"

Tu Gen: "Where should I watch it? It's very interesting!"

A Zhai: "Asahi late at night, at 1 o'clock on Tuesday."

Yijiang: "Yeah! I'll check it out!"

A Zhai: "Not only that, but more importantly, the original work of this animation is actually Teacher Akino Mirai."

"!"

"!"

"!"

The other three people all made exclamation marks.

"It's true!" In the dim room, Tukatazhai typed: "The script master is Mr. Akino Tori, the author of "Soul of Chess" and "Slam Dunk". Go see it, you won't regret it!"

……

Kazuya Takasugi looked at the screen in surprise, "Why haven't I heard of the cartoon written by Mr. Akino Tori?"

He decided to go to bed three hours late tonight, and he must see the five words "Bird Akino Mirai" with his own eyes.

The morning light outside the window, Takasugi Kazuya put on his sportswear and walked out of the room, took a few breaths of fresh air to stretch his body, and then started today's morning jog.

An hour later, he stopped, just in front of a convenience store.

"Jump is on sale."

Walking into the convenience store, he bought a jump in a conspicuous place, and after looking at the cover, he was stunned.

"This is!"

……

"This is it!" Odagiri looked at the front page of Jump in astonishment, and on a whim, he actually saw the unbelievable content at the right time.

There are two people on the cover, one has long dark green hair, firm eyes, half of his face is exposed, Odagiri recognized it without thinking, this person is Taya Ryo!
Not to mention the other person, wearing a suit, holding a folding fan, and a pensive expression, is Hikari Shinto!

"The new content of "Soul of Chess"!"

He was beaming with joy and opened his mouth, even happier than when he was promoted to the second rank.

"Although the characters have changed, they are absolutely right!"

Odagiri is not unfamiliar with the grown-up bright duo, as if reunited with a good friend.

It is still early and there are not many customers in the supermarket.Odagiri stood here, impatiently flipping to the short story of "Soul of Go", titled "Great Go Reform".

……

The story begins on the Chinese Go website. There is an online chess player named master, who kills all directions. Even many top chess players are defeated by the master, but the master has no defeat.

"This is sai!" Odagiri widened his eyes, he felt a familiar smell.

Sato Fujiwara also turned into "sai" and stirred up the situation on the Internet.

The design of the website in the manga is simpler than that of the current Internet. In the game of chess, Odagiri was surprised to find that the "Master" has a unique style, uses powerful computing power, and uses very extreme moves.

It is the kind of strange operation that is very easy to be targeted, but still maintains a complete victory.

"This kind of chess move must not be "sai"! "

As a professional chess player, Odagiri saw this, and became curious, who is this top chess player?
