Revive it!Wenhao Press

"Tanjiro, don't cover my eyes, I want to see."

"No! And why Xiaochun would buy such a magazine! Why would the bookstore clerk sell you such a magazine!"

"... Tanjiro, it's okay, it's a photo of a half-zero girl, right? I saw it when it passed by just now." Huali Jun, whose eyes were smeared, said while chewing on the croissant in his mouth.

"..."

Under the hesitation of the owner of the hand, he finally let go of his hand silently.

Hualichun, who regained her light, finally saw what was in front of her eyes.The girl continued to chew the croissant, while looking at the photo printed in the folder, her expression was a little surprised: "So there is still such a thing hidden here——"

Zamon Tanjirou on the side blushed, and couldn't help but said, "How can Xiaochun look at this as if nothing happened! The girl's breasts in this picture are about to fall out, isn't it dangerous!? "

"But I have everything she has." Hualichun couldn't help but look down at the chest of her rustic T-shirt, "So even if she does fall out, there's nothing to be shy about."

"Ah, I'm sorry." She suddenly thought of something, covered her lips and looked at Zhuma with a sorry expression, "I didn't consider Tanjiro's mood as a boy..."

Hearing this, Kamado Tanjiro's head was so hot that it was almost smoking.

"However, instead of noticing the girl in the photo, it's better to talk about this way of hiding things in the fold..." Hualichun murmured thoughtfully, "I always feel a little concerned..."

After thinking for a while, the purple-haired girl casually threw the magazine aside, and began to read other magazines that published reasoning.

Kamado Tanjiro walked away silently with smoke coming out of his head.And Hualichun continued to flip through the magazine.

In order to find a way to attract readers of detective reasoning, she intends to read through all the books she bought before speaking.

There was the sound of pages turning over.Huali purely browsed through the book in her hand, and gradually forgot about other things.

Looking at it, the time she stayed on the illustration gradually became longer: "..."

At this moment, a croissant suddenly stretched out from the side and held it near Hualichun's mouth.

She subconsciously took a bite, and then came back to her senses, and noticed Tanjiro Kamado who had gone and returned.

"Xiaochun is like the sixth wife, once he gets his attention, he forgets everything." The eldest son looked a little helpless.

"Ah... um." Huali Jun was stunned, and took the bread from Zamon Tanjirou's hand, "I was thinking, the illustrations of reasoning seem to be quite special."

"Because the illustrations are in line with the plot, many illustrations will show some clues in the plot." Hualichun pointed to an illustration she was looking at, "For example, in this picture, the overturned wine glass is a clue. And it showed that too.”

"Indeed." Kamado Tanjiro picked up the magazine and looked at it, "I remember that Shigeru's favorite set is the same as the Detective Adventure Series, the author will attach illustrations of the scene in it, and send it to children who are reading. It’s a challenge. If you find clues in the illustrations, guess the method of committing the crime, and the identity of the culprit before seeing the ending, Shigeru will be happy for a long time.”

"what!"

Hanagarashi suddenly pushed the table and stood up abruptly, startling Kamado Tanjiro.

She lowered her head in a daze, and looked at Tanjiro Kamado: "...that's it!"

"Huh?" The red-haired boy looked at her puzzled.

"What readers of reasoning like most is the process of thinking games with the author in the process!" Hua Lichun clenched her fists, "'Who is the prisoner? Can I see through the author's strategy before the mystery is revealed? ?'……some type of!"

"Thank you, Tanjiro! And Shigeru, I will choose a great gift for him on his birthday this year!" Huali Jun hurriedly stuffed the remaining half of the croissant into his mouth, and sent it down with a gulp of milk Throat, after packing up the magazines on the table, he turned around and ran out.

Tanjiro Kamado sat on the spot, staring at Jun Hanashi's back in a daze.

It was the same when we met in the school classroom last time.

Since when did the two people who were childhood sweethearts who always walked side by side turn into the figure of him always watching her run?

but……

After a while, Kamado Tanjiro's eyes lighted up slightly, and he smiled: "...I'm really looking forward to the next issue of the magazine!"

***

The strategy has already been thought out—that is, the dialogue between the author and the readers, and the challenge that the new Taoist Edogawa Ranpo poses to all the readers of "Monthly Literature"!

Hualichun ran all the way back to Hoshinosha.However, as soon as he opened the door, a brown shadow suddenly flashed in front of him, rushing towards Hualichun's head.

"Ugh!"

Hualichun was taken aback.It wasn't until the brown shadow's paws hung on her collar, in order not to fall off and kick its hind paws, that she realized that this shadow was exactly the dog.

Seeing that the squinting-eyed puppy was about to fall, Hualichun hurriedly threw the magazines he brought on the ground, and caught him with his free hand: "Teacher Luanbu, what's wrong?"

"Wow, woof!" The squint-eyed puppy barked twice unhappily, as if Wang Wang was accusing Hualichun of going out as soon as he got up, and that he hadn't brought him with him.

"Teacher Ranbu, I thought of how to publicize you!" Hualichun didn't quite understand why Ranbu Dog was unhappy, but he still said cheerfully.

Hearing this, the Ranbu dog lay on Hualichun's shoulder and fell silent.And Hualichun hurriedly sat down in front of the computer with the handheld, and opened the website advertisement editing page.

Ordinary online publicity is not enough, the publicity must be made into a puzzle.

In the past, Hualichun has been using "Revival!The auto-fill function of Wenhao Publishing House fills the illustrations of "Monthly Literature", and the effect is quite good.But in cases where she already had specific ideas for the illustrations, the Revival!Wen Hao Publishing House" custom picture function.

And when Hualichun was busy making promotional pictures and illustrations, the stray dog ​​lying on her shoulder turned his head, his eyes fell on a thick stack of reasoning magazines and books on the ground, his tail swayed from side to side involuntarily a few times Down.

Seeing the thick stack of books that Hualichun bought for research, the squinting-eyed puppy was no longer angry at all.

***

That night, on Hoshinosha's official website, in addition to promoting the works of four familiar writers including Osamu Dazai, a teaser picture suddenly appeared.

It was a simple illustration without a title or a description of the plot.There is nothing else except that this is the reasoning preview of the new writer Edogawa Ranpo who will be published in the next issue of "Monthly Literature".

In the center of the illustration is a red single armchair.The chairs were empty, with no one sitting on them.The background around the chair is the living room that has been meticulously depicted.

The preview of "Monthly Literature" quickly aroused small-scale discussions on social networking sites.And just when the readers of "Monthly Literature" were puzzled by this notice, someone suddenly expressed his opinion.

"Since the next new work is a suspense reasoning, then this...couldn't it be the author's challenge to the readers?"

With the appearance of this opinion, soon, the discussion on the teaser picture further expanded, and more and more reasoning enthusiasts who had never read "Monthly Literature" before joined in.

"Will "Monthly Literature" publish works on reasoning in the next issue? I haven't read "Monthly Literature" because it has always published articles mainly on pure literature."

"Is the suspenseful reasoning published in pure literature-based magazines really interesting? I doubt it."

"No, referring to the general standard of works published in "Monthly Literature", "Setting Sun", "Song of Sheep", "Mountain Moon", and "Rashomon" are all works that are enough to scare people to death. As long as you can Keeping that level, whether the new work is pure literature or popular, I think it will definitely be a masterpiece."

And just as the discussion on the teaser picture gradually heated up, someone suddenly discovered something: "Hey, the teaser picture on Hoshinosha's official website seems to have moved?"

"So, the angle of the sofa chair seems to be a little bit off?"

"The cabinet at the back seems to be a little different... Is there a box of snacks missing in the cabinet? Is the key to solving the puzzle lies in the missing things in the picture?"

"Who has saved the preview pictures from the previous few days? If you have any, quickly take them out and compare them!"

……

Before the release date of the eighth issue of "Monthly Literature", the discussion about the preview pictures on Hoshinosha's official website has attracted a large number of reasoning enthusiasts on the Internet.At the same time, bookstores that also discovered this trend sent emails to Hoshinosha to increase their order quantity.

Even Gojo Satoru couldn't help calling: "What's the matter with the pictures on the official website?"

"Do you want to know?" Hualichun asked.

"...No, it's not..." Gojo Gojo on the other end of the phone paused and cleared his throat, "It's Nito who wants to know, so please ask me. Anyway, tell me quickly."

"...but I refuse!" Hualichun said suddenly after taking a deep breath, "What I Hualichun likes to do the most is to say NO to people who think they can get spoilers through relationships!"

Gojo Satoru was a little confused: "...Huh?"

"In short, you can buy it when the eighth issue is on sale! The trailer picture will have the best effect if you read it in line with the content of the magazine!" Hualichun clenched her fists and said excitedly, "Now I will tell you the answer to the mystery." , On the contrary, it will deprive you of the fun of experiencing the new work. Believe me, I will let you feel the greatest impact!"

"……yes?"

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, and then Gojo Satoru's jumpy, brisk voice sounded again.

"If I don't feel the impact, I will come to you and ask for compensation." The male high school student said lightly.

"Okay!" Hualichun pursed her lips and said confidently, "It will definitely scare you!"

……

On the eve of the release date.

After replacing the last picture on the official website with slightly adjusted small details, Hualichun sorted out the additional order quantity of each bookstore, and her eyes lit up involuntarily.

Even according to the insurance calculation, the initial print run of the eighth issue of "Monthly Literature" is full - 42 copies!
