Chapter 9. The game of capital

"What's going on?" Seeing that Oshima Homoto was shaking like an epilepsy, he suddenly shouted, and the curious editor felt suspicious.

This...Maybe Homo sapiens take too much drugs?

Shivering, yelling, it's exactly the same complications of that hallucinatory drug.

They surrounded them, intending to take Homo sapiens Oshima and send them to the hospital when the situation is wrong - of course, I just think about it, who would do such offensive things?

"It's the problem with this comic...that, not the problem with the editor of Oshima."

In order to avoid misunderstandings, Hosokawa Koharu first threw out the answer to the question: "This comic is considered a comic that I am responsible for,...it's a bit scary...and then the editor of Oshima..."

While speaking, Hosokawa Koharu looked at Oshima Homoto.

"Scared by horror comics?"

This made many editors of the weekly magazine "Aversion to Chill" look at Oshima Homoto with a gaze.

This is the first time I have seen the horror comic editors be scared by horror comics.

As for Oshima Homo sapiens?

Homo sapiens, Oshima, gritted their teeth and said nothing.

There is nothing to say, I am really scared, and it is not embarrassing to be scared.

The feeling of substitution that I wish I could pull people in... It was so terrifying that I suppressed my heart... To be honest, Homo sapiens was also feeling a little stimulating while being afraid.

He still wanted to watch it.

This person has a bit of abusive behavior.

After all, this work is just the cover, and it is so exciting that the content inside is even more exciting?

Some people are like this. The more they are afraid, the more they want to do it. Otherwise, how could there be a roller coaster facility?

But before that...

Homo sapiens Oshima looked at the group of editors surrounding him and felt gloating.

Let’s take a look! It’s good to show you.

He is very confident in this "Midnight Bell". This group of editors who like to watch jokes must be similar to him in the end.

"After editor Hosokawa said this, I also became a little interested in this comic. If I didn't mind, could I read it?"

An experienced editor next to him raised his hand.

His name is Yu Sanada. He has worked in the editorial department of Urashima Publishing House for nearly thirty years and has witnessed many outstanding horror comics.

Originally, he was transferred to the editor-in-chief, but Yu Sanada will retire in a few years, so the people in the publishing house were suppressed, but Yu Sanada's salary and benefits were all paid according to the editor-in-chief standards of the publishing house.

With his old experience, no one could speak below.

Everyone watched him take the original manuscript of Midnight Bell and look it through.

His eyes remained on the first page.

Ancient well, dead leaves.

A twisted figure flashed in front of your eyes.

Slim, blue and white, twisted limbs.

The vengeful spirit climbed out of the TV.

Resentful sight.

Pull out the fingernails...

The moment I saw the woman crawling completely out of the TV and holding her hands on his shoulders—

Heart contraction accelerated, blood pressure soared, and adrenaline made Yu Sanada's face turn red.

His head couldn't help but lean back and breathed deeply. When he came back, his face turned a little blue.

"The plot quality of this comic...if there is half the quality of his cover picture... it's a good comic."

Sanada Yuki tried hard to grasp "Midnight Bell" and finally failed to smash it out like Oshima Homoto, and commented directly.

After commenting, Sanada Yuki also watched a large wall-mounted TV.

He finally knew why Homo sapiens Oshima was a little afraid of TV.

To be honest, he feels like turning off the TV now.

No...no.

I wish I could lock the TV with an iron chain.

The editor next to him was a little surprised by Yu Sanada's comments.

The direct use of comic painters to link them with the comic plot can only show that the author of "Midnight Bell" is really amazing.

After all, horror comics pay more attention to the sense of substitution of the plot. Even if you are not very meticulous in the painter, readers will not care too much.

"Editor Hosokawa, if you don't mind, can you let everyone read the original manuscript of this comic? It won't waste everyone's time, just look at the first page."

Sanada knows how to be a human being, so he naturally knows that Koharu Hosokawa has no author under his command, and as a new editor, he has been sitting on the bench.

That's why he repeatedly sought the opinions of Koharu Hosokawa, and also told other editors that the editor of this work was Koharu Hosokawa, so he should not want to grab the good work when he saw it.

After all, it is the Japanese workplace... In order to achieve success, many people can do everything.

It is normal to suppress newcomers with the airs of seniors.

Generally speaking, it takes at least half a year for someone like Hosokawa Koharu to truly become a regular person.

"Ah, of course there is no problem." Hosokawa Koharu glanced at Sanada Yuki with gratitude.

People say this, if she doesn't understand it, she will be a stupid woman.

So, the manuscript of "Midnight Bell" began to be circulated.

Then--

Bang!!!

The most cruel male editor who just mocked Oshima Homoto flipped off the bench and was so scared that he looked at the manuscript of "Midnight Bell".

Bang!!!

The senior editor who has been in the industry for five years has quickly turned his face when he looked at the comic "Midnight Bell". Koharu Hosokawa remembers that his face was usually smiling in the past.

The sound of slamming the original manuscript kept coming out.

Ten minutes later—

"Huh...this is probably what happened."

Urajima, editor-in-chief of the weekly magazine "Aversion to Cold", tied the TV with iron chains, and then looked back at the "Midnight Bell" at hand.

The original manuscript of "Midnight Bell" was tragically "harmed" by different editors within ten minutes, either being rubbed or thrown.

Even the surface of the paper was crumpled.

Fortunately, Hosokawa Koharu had copied the original manuscript of "Midnight Bell" before, otherwise he would have taken such an original manuscript to meet the original author... it would be rude no matter how you think about it.

"What do you think of this "Midnight Bell" that was submitted?"

Urajima editor-in-chief asked.

He is also one of the victims of Higashinoji horror comics, and now he feels scared when he has a big TV beside him.

But he was the editor-in-chief at least, and he was not afraid at all on the surface, but his feet were slowly distanced from the TV.

No one of the editors below spoke.

Usually, this stage should be a provocative stage, but no one can pick out any inappropriate points about the comic "Midnight Bell".

"I don't think the pressure on "Midnight Bell" to pass the serialized meeting is too high. You can arrange the first color page of the volume..."

Sanada Yu, who is experienced, thought and said, "If it is promoted, it may be more popular than the Taizhuzi comic "The Silhouettes Reflected in the Camera" before our Urajima Publishing House."

After hearing this, the editor below also took a look at Yu Sanada.

Sanada Yuki is proposing to transfer publicity resources to create momentum for "Midnight Bell".

"But in this way, what should the author of Taizhuzi comic "Between the Dolls" do now?"

Yu Sanada didn't say anything, just looked at the editor-in-chief.

No matter how old he is, he is just a responsible editor. If you really want to make a decision, you have to look at the editor-in-chief.

"First tilt some resources. If "Midnight Bell" can still produce originals of this quality in the future, then decide whether to use it as a pillar comic."

Editor-in-chief Urajima quickly made up his mind.

As for the comic "Between the Dolls"...

Anyone with discerning eyes can see that it cannot stand up to the mainstay of Urajima Publishing House's weekly "Aversion to Cold", so no one here stands out and sings the opposite tune as in the novel.

Besides, it’s just a chance to try the comic “Midnight Bell”. If its quality is average, it’s better to continue on “Between Dolls”.

The capitalist's tactics are quite normal.
