Aoba Office

The recipient of the express delivery is my sister, and there is nothing wrong with the address filled in. The sender was a warehouse in the suburbs of Minqing, and the name of the online store was written down. In the column of express items, there is a long list of content such as ""Summer of Penguin" by Bai An with Penguin small sticker + Penguin Q version handbook, free shipping, ready-made comics, picture books and cute comics".

The word "Bai An" first caught my eye, and it stood out in my eyes.

I took the package upstairs and called my sister on the way up.

My sister hung up the phone and sent a message saying that she was still in class.

I had no choice but to message her and ask her what was going on.

After a while, I received a product link from my sister.

The thing's details page was colorfully edited. The black and white, round penguin appears frequently, and it should be the protagonist of this comic. Looking at some excerpts, it is a funny four-frame comic. Scrolling down the page, I finally saw the author's information behind a series of introductions and promotional advertisements:

"Bai An, a picture book cartoonist under Meng Miao Animation, is known for his cute painting style, and the content of his works is humorous and very popular. He has millions of fans on social networking sites and is one of the top three Internet celebrities on the cartoonist popularity list."

For a moment I didn’t know if I was worrying too much.

I am so sensitive to the name "Bai An" entirely because the restless and kind-hearted old man who raised a green-faced ghost is named Bai An. He was killed by Ye Qing. This can be confirmed whether Ye Qing admitted it himself or I witnessed it in my dream.

Bai An should be dead. The cartoonist just has the same name as him. It could just be a pen name. "Bai An", a slightly fresh name, is probably in line with his identity as a cartoonist.

I suppressed my uneasiness. After returning home, I put the express delivery in my sister's room and had dinner with my parents.

After eating, I washed the dishes, returned to the room, and turned on the computer.

I took out the file from the bookcase, but then sat back at the computer desk. I subconsciously opened the webpage and looked for information about Bai An.

There is more and more complete information online.

Baek An has a rich resume. He debuted more than five years ago. His first work was the horror comic "Evil Dog" serialized on a comic website. It was well received but sold poorly. It is said that many people dare not look at it because it is too scary. After that, he started drawing cute cartoons, writing jokes and making emoticons. Some people say that there is a team behind Bai An. The comic company called Mengmiao has dedicated people to write scripts and jokes. Cartoonists like Bai An are just simple painters and do not make up stories themselves.

I watched the resume content gradually turn into gossip, so I directly clicked on the link to Bai An's works.

Some thoughts vaguely popped up in my mind, but before I could think about it clearly, I first saw the content of the "Evil Dog" comic.

The cover of the comic is on a black background, with a red flaming dog and the ferocious word "evil dog" occupying the entire page.

This picture still looks a bit rough, not the kind of exquisite illustration work.

After turning the page, the watercolor images are much fresher and brighter, without the depressing feeling of the cover.

The story is straightforward, opening with a man covering his ears as he endures the barking of a dog next door.

My heart skipped a beat, and when I read on, I saw that the content of the comics at the end was too similar to the content of the "Barking Dogs in the Day" file. However, the hero of the story is that man.

The man was not bothered by the barking dog and went to argue with his neighbor, only to find out that the neighbor did not have a dog at all. During the day, the neighbor goes to work and is not at home, so it cannot be the sound coming from the TV or something like that. He squatted on the balcony, staring at the balcony of the house next door, and finally saw the reflection of the dog on the balcony glass. He thought he had caught evidence and looked for the neighbor again. Unexpectedly, when he entered the door, he found that there was no dog at all in the neighbor's house, only a dog cage left by the landlord on the balcony.

As the man investigates along the way, bloody and horrific incidents also occur one after another. First, the neighbor was bitten to death in a cage, and then the landlord's family was also attacked by monsters, leaving no body intact. The man found the landlord's hometown and learned about the legend of the black dog in the landlord's hometown. The landlord originally had a dog, but he abandoned it in his hometown and turned into a wild dog. After attacking people, he was beaten to death by the villagers and turned into a ghost, which turned back on the owner.

At the end of the investigation, the man met the vicious dog on a narrow road.

At this point in the comic, the cartoonist Bai An's skills seem to have been sufficiently honed, or it may be that he has put 100% of his efforts into this comic strip.

On that whole page, against the black background, the red dog looked like an evil ghost. His body was covered in blood and injuries. One ear was missing, one eye was hanging out of the eye socket, and his limbs and tail were broken. trace.

It was different from the dog I saw in the dream, but had a similar impact.

That's a monster.

There is a big difference between the following plot and the file content:

The protagonist chased the evil dog. After being overtaken by the evil dog, he fought back hard and killed the evil dog. However, he was stained with the blood of an evil dog and was bitten by an evil dog. As if he had an infectious disease, he had the characteristics of a dog on his body.

The comic ends with the man lying on the ground on all fours, looking crazy. The shadow he cast on the wall was exactly the same as the outline of the vicious dog.

The comic is not long and has very few lines. In addition, I have read Aoba's archives and it didn't take much time to read through the whole book.

I read the comments and other people's gossip, but they didn't say that "The Bad Dog" was based on real events. Bai An probably didn't tell anyone about Qingye.

I sent a message to Wu Ling asking her for her impressions of the client of "Barking in the Day." I remember that the client’s husband’s surname was Bai, and she also had a son named Bai An...

I waited for Wu Ling's reply and went to Bai An's social media page.

If this Bai An is that Bai An, he becomes a cartoonist when he becomes an adult, and it is not a big deal to draw cartoons about what he experienced at home when he was a child.

He also changed his style, except that this debut was a horror comic, and since then he has been drawing cute content.

I opened Bai An's social homepage. The content on the homepage was all about the plump Penguin. Many of them were jokes and Penguin's expressions.

Scroll the mouse and I see the illustration posted by Bai An. The color is dark. I glance over and see only a strange moon. When I look closely, I break out in a cold sweat.

That piece shows the reflection of the moon in the water. The water is a black lake, the moon is full, and the shadow on the moon's surface can be seen. When you look at it from a distance, you will find that those shadows form a woman's face. The woman's expression is numb, giving people an uncomfortable feeling. There are also shadows in the black lake, and those shadows are blurry faces, with only eyes and mouths, all grinning, as if they want to eat people.

The comments below this picture are all “scareless”, “scary”, “scary” and the like.

I saw one of them. The person seemed to be a fan of Bai An. He posted a trembling expression and asked if Bai An was going to return to horror comics. He has posted a lot of horror illustrations recently.

I felt my eyelids jump.

I directly opened Bai An's photo album, and sure enough I saw two distinct types of pictures in it, one was the light-colored Penguin, and the other was the dark-colored pictures. Ghost faces, female ghosts, monsters, severed limbs, heads... and pictures blocked by the website.

The more I looked, the more frightened I became.

I saw pictures that were somewhat similar to the twisted delivery girl ghost, and I also saw monster shapes similar to Beamon and Qilin.

It wasn't until I saw the green-faced ghost crawling at the foot of the wall that I was really sure.

This Bai An has definitely seen these things in action! Otherwise, he would not have been able to draw such similar paintings!

Wu Ling's reply came at this time. I didn't read it and just called him directly.
