Chapter 30. Relax with the TV on
Kazuka Akasaka is also a professional comic reviewer.
This profession name sounds very intimidating, but in fact it is similar to drama critics and film critics. They are all professions that stand at a high level to comment on other people's works.
But unlike freelance writers, Kazuka Akasaka also has a serious job.
He is affiliated with the magazine "Chaojin", a subsidiary of Fuji Publishing House.
As a contracted writer, his main job is to do shameful things.
In a nutshell, it is actually touting the comics of our Fuji Publishing House and belittled the comic works of the other three major companies. This kind of company operation that discredits others is actually quite common in Japan.
What school bullying affects children's physical and mental health? What is the storyboard that is too long and breaks the sense of space... Anyway, Akasaka Kazuo just opens his mouth.
As long as it is the work of the other three major societies, it will basically not have any good results in his writing. At most, it can be at the level of "barely read" by Samsung.
Even everyone knows that he wrote these articles from the perspective of Fuji Publishing House.
But there are also some people who like this flavor, so the sales of "Chaojin" are even pretty good overall.
After all, Kazuka Akasaka is not squirting in a brainless manner. Every place he squirts is well-founded and convincing.
As a magazine contract writer, today's Fuji Publishing House has arranged another task for Kazuka Akasaka--
‘The Urashima Publishing House has released a comic called "Midnight Bell", you can watch it and spray it.’
As a senior troll, this is Kazuya Akasaka's best trick.
So he bought "Aversion to Chill" by Urajima Publishing House early, prepared paper and pen next to him, put two glasses of water, and planned to pass it through.
"Midnight Bell"? Teacher Higashino will bring you the purest fear?"
Kazuka Akasaka also curled his lips.
He didn't know how many times he had read the slogan on the cover, and his aesthetic taste was tired.
So he moved his hand and wrote on the paper next to him that "the slogan lacks novelty."
Then he jumped over the directory and turned to the first page.
The goal this time is "Midnight Bell". Kazuya Akasaka's purpose is very pure. He didn't even look at other comics, but just went to "Midnight Bell".
His hands were very stable, and he immediately turned to the cover of "Midnight Bell" and glanced at the cover roughly. He found that the overall cover was painted quite exquisitely, which made people feel cold in his heart. After he had no point to spray, he turned to the main content.
The beginning of the article is a few concise storyboards, and after explaining the time, place and characters clearly, they quickly get to the topic.
This feeling of pleasure is something that Kazuya Akasaka has never seen before for many years of reading comics. He looked at the blank paper and pondered for a long time but couldn't find the point to spray, so he could only continue to go down.
Entering the plot, the beginning is about two little girls talking, one named Tomoko and the other named Tomoko.
According to the progress of the plot, Kazuya Akasaka suddenly understood that the time at the top of the storyboard just now refers to the time of death. It is estimated that the person cursed by the curse video will die in one week.
Then look at it from this, this is just an ordinary story of a phone call. It’s quite old-fashioned. You can criticize this and remember it.
Another line of words was added to the blank notes.
But to be fair, Kazuya Akasaka actually vaguely felt that the quality of this comic was really high. At least the more he watched it, the more he felt a chill in his heart. His chest seemed to be blocked with a stone, and a sense of fear rose inexplicably.
The vision seemed to be a little misaligned, as if the things in "Midnight Bell" would immediately pop out of the painting and come to reality.
How is that possible?!
Kazuka Akasaka also threw away all these mixed thoughts and gave himself a breath.
I am a professional troll! If you want to implement the professional ethics of the troll, you must not let the author of "Midnight Bell" be easier.
So he continued to look down.
At this time, Tomoko in the comics had already begun to tell Tomoko the story of the curse video, and Tomoko's expression was not right, and it seemed like she was forcing her to smile.
Kazuka Akasaka could also guess the reason for this reaction. It was probably because Tomoko had watched the curse video.
Although the next author used some exaggerated techniques to draw Tomoko's face particularly ferociously, this way he wanted to scare Kazuya Akasaka, and it was still too tender.
Kazuya Akasaka shook his head. After all, he has been reading horror comics for so many years, so it would be too difficult to scare him.
then--
With a rush.
Tomoko's finger suddenly raised, just like pointing to Kazuya Akasaka outside the comics. The twisted howling sound seemed to explode in Kazuya Akasaka's ears—
"You'll die within a week!"
Bang!
Kazuya Akasaka rolled down from the chair, looking at everything in front of him in horror.
In front of him, the black-haired Tomoko's red lips twisted, and her beautiful face was as terrifying as a cannibal plant.
The snow-white fingers passed through the comics and pointed directly at him, a person in the real world.
"Hosh, hush, hush..."
Kazuka Akasaka also felt cold, his teeth collided violently, and his eyes were even more unimaginable.
How is this possible?!
I can see myself vision when I read a horror comic?!
Kazuka Akasaka felt that he had become the Tomoko in the painting, shrouded in fear and despair, and wanted to escape but could not escape at all.
After a while, Kazuka Akasaka suddenly came back to his senses, and then he realized that the same was true around him.
In front of him, "Midnight Bell" spread out to the next page.
At this time Tomoko had already told Tomoko about the strange things when traveling to Izu Island.
She also watched the curse video, and was scared at this time.
The shadows are silently entangled.
Outside the window, the darkness was swallowed up, and nothing could be seen clearly, showing an ominous sign.
In this extreme repressive situation, Tomoko and Tomoko look at each other, and then—
Dingling!!!
The phone rang!
The terror strikes again!
"Midnight Bell" ends!
"Hu..." Kazuya Akasaka put on "The Cold" with a sweaty face, but he felt an indescribable sense of anxiety in his heart.
He seemed to take a look at the follow-up!
What happened next? What should Tomoko and Tomoko do?! What will happen?
That's right, although he was afraid, he still wanted to see it!
Because this is so exciting! More exciting than riding a roller coaster!
"Look at it again."
Kazuka Akasaka also breathed a breath and reached out to turn on the TV.
He was a little embarrassed.
After all, I was completely immersed in the world of "Midnight Bell" just now and was scared to death.
So this time, he wanted to watch "Midnight Bell" again in a relatively relaxed state to find a place to spray.
Turning on the TV is a way for him to adjust and relax his mind.
"This time, let's start with the cover. It's impossible to scare me again after reading the horror comics."
Kazuka Akasaka also opened the "Midnight Bell" with the TV set.
This time, he will start watching from the cover...
Chapter completed!
