Chapter 145 My body...this is "Parasite Beast"
The old editor was very excited.
If this newcomer were under his control, he would probably jump with joy.
But this guy happened to be a member of the web department who was in direct competition with our magazine department and even had a bet with him!
In addition, the publication department is now relegated to the basement, largely because of him!
The old editor is a bit itchy, but he has to think that this newcomer is very talented.
"Hey, have you noticed that this "Parasite" is very powerful?" The young editor sitting in front turned his chair, leaned over and whispered.
"What? I didn't read it." The old editor took out a cigarette and lit it.
The young editor snorted: "What are you pretending to do here? Now everyone is reading "Parasite" and wondering what this comic is like."
The old editor took a deep breath and slowly blew out the smoke ring: "I just took a few glances and thought it was a bit talented."
"You haven't told the truth yet." The young editor smiled.
"Okay, I won't lie to you. This guy's paintings are very good, the plot is gripping, and he has a full sense of alien oppression. In today's market, especially in our "Jump", he is definitely unique."
"Finally, I'm telling the truth. I think so too. If he were serialized for a few more issues, he would definitely be the most popular!"
When the old editor heard what he said, he smiled instead: "You are still young. If Vice President Xiaoshan dares to make a shoe-shine bet with him, he knows that such an enterprising young man has a major flaw!"
"What defect?" the young editor quickly asked.
The old editor leaned back and said slowly: "I can't hold it back!"
The young editor was puzzled.
"This "Parasite" comic relies on the alien hunt to start, and uses bloody dazzling as a gimmick. The young author will follow this path to the end. If it cannot transform in time and give this work connotation, let alone it cannot be Called Showa Style, even readers will become bored and their grades will plummet!"
"Ah, I see! Then Saburo Mikami will guide him, right?"
"Guidance? It's really that easy, and you're still called a newcomer? Where do young people get the rich social experience to make the characters come alive? Where do you get the life experience that you can accumulate in comics?"
"so……"
"So Vice President Xiaoshan is not afraid of betting at all. He dare not say anything else, but if a newcomer draws such violent comics, it will go downhill after five or six chapters! Or maybe he does not have enough themes, but insists on improving the connotation. As a result It will only be a matter of imitation," the old editor vowed.
Dong Shi Xiaoqian, who can speak Chinese, can be regarded as an old editor with a cultural heritage.
"..." The young editor was doubtful.
In fact, some comics analysts have long put forward this point of view and cited some examples in the history of comics. For example, the ancient comic "Cape" attracted attention with its animalistic mode. It was a great seller in the early stage of the market, but it obviously lacked stamina in the middle and later stages.
The author of "Cape" stopped writing later and became a legend that old men in the comics industry never forget. This is definitely a factor, not just because he is rich.
Similar ones include "Fire Fist", "Dark God of Destruction" and so on. According to some comics critics, the thinking of the authors of these two comics has entered a state of chaos in the middle and late stages...
What are you drawing? ! Many cartoonists flipped the tables and seriously criticized this kind of works, going to the point of complaining about nothing and complaining about new words.
The old editor either doesn’t say anything, but once he talks he can’t shut up:
"In short, you can understand it this way: Although the initial situation of "Parasite" is good, the later stage is the key."
"If you only focus on the bloody and dazzling show, then it is far from the level of Showa Wind, let alone the most popular one."
"After comic fans get used to the violence of alien species...just wait until they are cut in half!"
The young editor thought for a while: "But, there will eventually be critics and other editors reminding him to make corrections, right?"
"Does he have time to change it? With 50 pages updated every week, where does he have time to carefully think about it? He can only draw violent close-ups desperately to complete the task!" The old editor chuckled, "Vice President Xiaoshan has a winning chance, he is indeed an old fox..."
The last sentence was spoken so quietly that even I couldn't hear it.
After finishing speaking, the young editor turned back with enlightenment.
The old editor continued to watch "Parasite" in front of the computer screen.
He felt that he had no intention of reading other comics now, and it always felt like they were not on the same level. Not to mention those newly submitted manuscripts, even some old cartoonists can't read them.
"Although "Parasite" has a bloody start, it's really gripping." The old editor muttered and continued to watch the protagonist's crisis.
The parasite who cut off his right arm and invited Xiaoyou to come over turned his head into a sharp blade and slashed at Shinichi.
At the moment when Shinichi felt desperate, Xiaoyou suddenly took action.
It cut off the parasite's sharp blade, and at the same time cut the parasite's body directly from the human's neck.
"Are you crazy?" The parasitic beast couldn't believe it, and tried its best to reach out to Canxi, "My body...my body..."
The parasitic beast wriggled its limbs with difficulty, as if struggling to return to its broken body, but it soon withered and died.
Shinichi was still frightened and his body was still shaking a little: "Xiaoyou, I'm sorry, I didn't expect..."
Xiaoyou just said lightly: "I have no confidence in the movement of my body... I only think about my own life."
Shinichi went home and lay on the bed.
In my mind, I still recall the parasitic beast's murmur before it died:
[My body...my body...]
Is that your body? Will people who are assimilated and devoured by parasitic beasts have similar consciousness in their last moments?
Shinichi went out with his female classmates and saw several young people having fun with a cat.
The cat meowed, looking helplessly at its tormentor. Because it was buried in the sand, only one head was exposed.
A cat’s head is a target for humans to hit with stones.
It's just that young people don't know that the brain is no longer their own in some living people...
Whose body does this belong to?
When the female classmate couldn't bear to watch and wanted to pull Shinichi away, Shinichi stepped forward and rescued the kitten.
[They are alive too! Just like you! ]
But the only response to his scolding was the stones thrown by a few young people.
However, Shinichi's right hand caught it casually.
Shinichi looked at the pebbles in his hand, his eyes filled with a breathtaking aura.
I really want to kill you...
I finally walked hand in hand with my female classmate on the street.
But Shinichi deliberately changed his hand to pull.
[Are you...Izumi Shinichi? ]
[Ahhh...of course. ]
The third chapter ends here.
The old editor was in a daze in front of the screen for a long time.
In the third episode, this talented newcomer cartoonist left comic fans with something other than a crisis plot hook.
It's a feeling that is hard to explain, but still has an aftertaste...
The body...life...belongs to whom...
ah! Cigarette butts are hot! The old editor shook his hands suddenly.
The old editor touched his chin and suddenly sighed: "This Oda Shingo... Vice President Koyama, maybe the boat will really capsize!"
On Qunyingsha's website, "Parasite Beast" has only been serialized to its second episode.
The new promotional banner has been released.
["Parasite" will be serialized in the "Jump" magazine in the second week of August, with episodes 1-4 in the first issue published! ]
