Chapter 45 I Can Draw More Scary

"This is the original manuscript of the second chapter of "Midnight Ring"."

Higashino took out the original manuscript of the second chapter of "Midnight Ring" from his shoulder bag, and handed it to Hosokawa Koharu while talking: "Editor Hosokawa just happened to be able to read it, so help me check it out."

Ok?

Before Higashino finished speaking, he keenly noticed that there was something wrong with Hosokawa Koharu's expression.

Her face, which was still smiling politely, became stiff all of a sudden, and it took a while for it to return to normal like an iceberg 'thawing'.

However, she took the manuscript and didn't read it directly, but held it in her hand: "I want to ask Teacher Dongye first, you only have this manuscript, right?"

"Ah, yes." Dong Yesi didn't quite understand what she meant, but still nodded.

Last time he handed in a copy, but this time he directly brought the original.

He has already serialized it, and it would be superfluous to keep manuscripts—of course, the main reason is that there are no copiers and fax machines at home.

"That's right." Hosokawa Koharu was slightly distracted after hearing these words.

"Editor Hosokawa?" Seeing her like this, Higashino couldn't help trying to wake her up.

"Oh, it's okay, just this draft, right? It's okay, I'll print a copy right away."

Hosokawa Koharu pinched the manuscript containing the second chapter of "Midnight Ring", with an expression on his face as if he was holding a time bomb, he turned and went to the printer after speaking.

"Okay, I know."

Higashino Division was also baffled by her expression.

Acting like she's terrified of the original "Bing Ring" in her hand

"Shouldn't it be like this?"

Tonoji muttered to himself.

He admits that his "Midnight Ring" is really scary, which makes people's scalp tingle.

But Hosokawa Koharu is also the editor of the largest horror comic publishing house in the industry, no matter how he thinks about it, he shouldn't be frightened by his "Midnight Bell".

After all, editing horror comics is the other party's profession. Higashino is in awe of practitioners of any profession. Since Hosokawa Koharu is an editor, she must also have corresponding professionalism.

So he was not in a hurry, picked up the tea that Hosokawa Koharu had prepared for him on the table, and drank it one sip at a time.

Meanwhile, on the other side—

"Editor Hosokawa? What are you doing?"

A male editor near the printer looked curiously at Koharu Hosokawa who hurried over as if carrying a bomb.

"Print the original manuscript of the manga." Hosokawa Koharu swallowed, and then turned around: "The original manuscript of "Midnight Ring". The author just sent it over for me to take a look."

"Yes, is it?"

grunt

As soon as he heard that it was the original manuscript of "Midnight Bell", the male editor shrunk his neck subconsciously, and at the same time looked at Koharu Hosokawa with some sympathy.

The last time he watched the first episode of "Midnight Ring", he was so scared that he didn't sleep well for several days. He almost didn't ask his wife to accompany him when he got up to go to the bathroom at night. He didn't even turn on the TV for a week, for fear of crawling out of it. a female ghost.

As a result, Hosokawa Koharu will suffer from "Midnight Ring" again today.

The male editor could only laugh dryly, and replied, "Come on, Editor Hosokawa, I've read the manga "Midnight Ring", and it's not that scary."

Although it sounded like comforting words, the meaning behind the words made the corners of Hosokawa Koharu's mouth twitch.

Looking at the printer working in front of her, she couldn't help sighing deeply.

In order to avoid the situation where the manuscript was torn in half, she must have printed two copies of the manuscript.

After finally waiting for all the manuscripts to be spit out from the printer, she put the manuscript drawn by Dongyesi on the table, and walked towards Dongyesi with another manuscript that had just been printed out.

"I'm back, Mr. Dongye, so without further ado, I'll take a look at your manuscript."

Hosokawa Koharu coughed twice, looking serious and businesslike.

No matter what, she still didn't want to lose face in front of the author she was in charge of.

"Please." Higashino stretched out his hand to signal Hosokawa Koharu not to worry about him.

Good

Hosokawa Koharu nodded, then lowered his head and looked down.

The plot of the second episode of "Midnight Ring" is about the appearance of Tomoko's aunt, the heroine of "Midnight Ring", the heroine Asakawa Reiko.

As a journalist, Reiko noticed the unusualness of the incident at a glance, because including her niece and girlfriend, Tomoko's classmates also died on the same day one after another, but it is obvious that ordinary criminals targeted and killed so many at the same time. It is basically impossible for a person to do it, and at this time, she heard from Tomoko's friend the story of the curse video that will die after watching it for seven days

The entire second chapter of the story has a complete structure and a tight rhythm.

Especially when drawing the death pictures of Tomoko's other classmates, the bloody and resentful eyes seemed to shoot into reality, which made Hosokawa Koharu tremble, and an expression of indescribable horror appeared on his face.

The silent pressure pinched Hosokawa Koharu's heart, and something seemed to be whispering at the neck——

Snapped! ! !

Hosokawa Koharu used all his strength to 'put' the original manuscript of "Midnight Bell" on the table.

It's really on the table.

She tried her best and finally resisted the desire to smash it.

"What's wrong? Editor Hosokawa?"

Seeing that Hosokawa Koharu was sweating profusely, and his pretty face had a distorted expression, Higashino couldn't help but asked, "Is it the quality? This time "Midnight Ring" isn't scary enough?"

It's not the fault of Higashino, because Hosokawa Koharu really doesn't look like he saw any good comics.

He hadn't meant to ask, but Hosokawa Koharu, who barely recovered, was so depressed that he couldn't even speak.

After a while, she managed to restrain her thoughts, recalling the horrible scene she saw just now, and her body trembled slightly again: "No, nothing, just this quality, there is no problem at all."

Hosokawa Koharu waved his hands again and again.

"Really?" Higashino saw that Hosokawa Koharu seemed to have something unspeakable to hide, and subconsciously said, "Will it make it difficult for Editor Hosokawa? I can draw even more terrifying "Midnight Bell" , if it embarrasses you, I'll go back and change it."

"Please do not!"

Hosokawa Koharu no longer cared about his image, and asked directly.

Want to be more scary?

Originally, this quality made people's heart beat faster. If it continues to be scary, it will not be a matter of heartbeat.

I'm afraid that the whole person's heartbeat stopped immediately.

Urashima Press cannot afford that responsibility.

But seeing Higashino Division still looking at him strangely, Hosokawa Koharu couldn't help sighing:

"It seems that Mr. Dongye still doesn't understand what kind of repercussions "Midnight Ring" has caused in the outside world."

After saying these inexplicable words, she stood up and said, "Come with me, Mr. Higashino, and I'll take you to the warehouse of Urashima Publishing House."
