Revive it!Wenhao Press

Inside Tokyo High School.

The three first-years who had just finished their field mission returned to school.Gojo Satoru hadn't put on his sunglasses yet after using Six Eyes, and asked while playing with the legs of his glasses, "Today's classes are all over, do you have any plans for tonight?"

"I want to go to karaoke with the diva-senpai." Jia Ruozi waved at the two male high school students, "Bye bye."

After she left, Gojo Satoru asked his friend again: "Where's Jie? Do you want to play a game together?"

"Me?" Xia Youjie thought for a while, "I'm going to take a shower first, wash off all the sweat on my body, calm down by the way, and then write an article."

Gojo Satoru raised his eyebrows in surprise: "There is still more than a week, but you are about to start now? Jie, have you decided what to write?"

"Well, it is."

The smile on Xia Youjie's face was undoubtedly a thoughtful one.He reminded Gojo Wu: "Wu, you'd better take some more time to think about what you want to write."

"Hey—but you can't rush into writing, right? You have to wait until the time is right."

Speaking of this, the eyelashes of the white-haired male high school student slightly lowered, and a bit of pressure suddenly appeared in the original cynical expression: "Jie, are you so serious?"

"Yeah, if you write casually," Xia Youjie opened his narrowed eyes slightly, half-truthfully said, "Maybe the strongest will become me alone?"

"Huh?" Gojo Satoru couldn't help showing a speechless expression.

"Just kidding."

Xia Youjie waved at Gojo Wu: "Then I'll go back first. I really plan to write well from now on."

Gojo Wu stared at Xia Youjie's back for a few moments, then raised his hand to put on the sunglasses.

"I see," he said to himself standing still, "then what should I write..."

Inside Hoshinosha.

The squinting-eyed brown puppy is holding a bag of potato chips, lying comfortably in the dim screening room, chewing potato chips while watching "Roman Holiday".

And just at the entrance of the projection room, two green lights flashed, and a small furry face that seemed to be wearing a black eyepatch appeared in the darkness—it was the little chubby raccoon who had been following the stray dog ​​for the past two days.

And behind the bookshelf some distance from the entrance of the screening room, a purple-haired head poked out, looking at this scene worriedly: "..."

It was the third day that Edgar Allan Poe the Raccoon came to Hoshinosha.

On the first night when he first arrived, the little raccoon was briefly attracted by the large courtyard of the Hoshino Club and the new room that Hualichun expanded for him, with a constant temperature pool, a large silk bed and an automatic cotton candy machine.But after that, his eyes were glued to the dog's body again.

The little raccoon was undoubtedly attracted by Ranpo Dog, and the purpose of joining Hoshino Club was also to compete with Ranpo Dog on the Internet.However, in the past few days, the little raccoon has repeatedly challenged the dog to compete, but it is always ignored by the squinting dog.

For the healthy competition among writers, Hualichun himself is happy to see it.What's more, no matter whether it is a random dog or a little raccoon, it is "Revival!"The writers certified by Wenhao Publishing House may have a sense of competition with each other, and they can write better works.

Thinking of this, Hualichun couldn't help but look forward to it.

It's just that Ranpo Dog's next work, Huali Jun already knows the content - it is the second installment of the "Detective Akechi Kogoro Series" that he has decided to write some time ago - "Twenty Faces of a Weird".

Before the little raccoon came to Hoshinosha, Ranpoo had already completed "Twenty Faces of a Freak" and was just waiting for an opportunity to publish it.Although the squinting-eyed puppy loves to eat snacks and play, it looks very childish, but once he wears those black-rimmed glasses, he will become quite reliable.

Hualichun has read "Twenty Faces of a Monster".It was an excellent S-level novel. Although it did not use unexpected narratives like the first published "The Chair in the World", and the form was quite satisfactory, "The Chair in the World" ended in one shot.And "Weird with Twenty Faces" naturally cannot use the same writing method as "The Chair on Earth".

As the second part of the series, the opponent of the famous detective Akechi Kogoro, the phantom thief "Twenty Faces of the Monster" appeared, and established a powerful enemy role for the famous detective.

This kind of powerful enemy role is often no less important than the protagonist in the work, and some can even become the soul of the work.

Just as the struggle between Sherlock Holmes and Moriarty has become the highlight of the Sherlock Holmes series, the confrontation between Akechi Kogoro and the weird man with twenty faces has added an exciting villain to the detective based on the case, which instantly improves the The reader's expectations for the next series of works.

Ranpo Dog is like a high mountain. Just published "The Human Chair", "Two Cents of Copper Coin" and the first series of Akechi Kogoro's series "D Saka Murder Incident" in "Monthly Literature", it has already received a large number of readers and The attention of senior reasoners such as Mei Yonehara.It is very difficult to surpass his "Twenty Faces of Freaks".

Not to mention that the little raccoon is new here, Hualichun has not even seen his work...

Thinking of this, Hualichun finally realized the problem.

Whether it's simply publishing a work in "Monthly Literature", or challenging the random dog, the premise of these is that the little raccoon must first write an article.

Thinking of this, Hualichun walked out of the bookshelf, quietly walked towards the ignorant little raccoon, and then...

Hualichun swooped down on the ground and grabbed the chubby raccoon at the door: "Hey!"

The little raccoon was caught suddenly, and was taken aback: "Jiujiujiu!?"

Hualichun held up the little raccoon and ran to a place where the dog couldn't hear the sound, and then put down the little raccoon.

The raccoon has a round body, and Hualichun's handprints are still left on the oily and smooth fur.It's just that the imprint is only a little sunken, which proves that the little raccoon is not puffy at all, it is a solid raccoon.

The raccoon who was put down had a dazed expression on his face, looking up at Hualichun with his pointed raccoon mouth pouted, a little nervous: "Chirp?"

"Ms. Poe, you haven't given up on your plan to challenge Ranpo-sensei, have you?"

Hualichun's words were right, the little raccoon's expression suddenly changed from puzzled to anxious, he raised his little paw and grabbed Hualichun's sleeve, and shouted: "Jiujiu!"

"I also hope to see Mr. Luanbu accept the challenge of Mr. Xiapo, and I want to see the two teachers write better articles in the competition. However, I think Mr. Luanpo has been unwilling to accept Mr. Po's challenge. The reason It's also very reasonable."

"If Mr. Po wants to challenge Mr. Ranpo, he must first prepare his own work."

Hualichun solemnly said to the little raccoon: "I think, if you go to lobby empty-handed, no matter how many times Mr. Po tells Mr. Luanbu, Mr. Luanbu's attitude will not change."

A word awakened the bear in the dream, the little raccoon was startled for a moment, then stood up, danced and "tweeted" for a while, turned around suddenly, and ran away with its thick fluffy tail.

Hualichun was taken aback for a moment, and followed subconsciously.

I saw the little raccoon galloping all the way to the kitchen, then nimbly stepped on the cabinet and reached the ceiling.The raccoon's tiny claws dug into the crack in the ceiling and lifted a piece with little effort.

——After the ceiling was opened, the scene inside was immediately exposed to Hualichun's eyes.I saw a few deep holes in the ceiling that had been punched by raccoons at some point.

Under Hualichun's astonished gaze, the little raccoon took out a volume of manuscripts that had been prepared from the hole, and then jumped down.He stood on his hind legs, holding the manuscript in his front paws, and raised it in front of Hualichun: "Squeak!"

……

[From "Revival!Reminder from Wenhao Publishing House: You have obtained the S-level work "Black Cat" × 1]

……

Hualichun didn't pursue the matter of the little raccoons digging holes. After all, compared with literary giants and writers, what are a few raccoon burrows?

"It's really hidden," Hualichun looked up at the hole in the ceiling and sighed, "So Mr. Po was hiding in the ceiling to observe us?"

The little raccoon nodded: "Jijiu!"

"Are there any other holes?" Hualichun asked.

The raccoon shook his head: "Chirp."

Hualichun took out the game console and opened "Let's Revive!"Wen Hao Publishing House, and did not hesitate to completely renovate the kitchen ceiling.

The restored ceiling is flat and solid, with tight edges.The little raccoon squatting on the ground stared blankly at the hole he dug out after a long time of hard work and disappeared overnight, and chirped a few times in a daze.

Walking out of the kitchen with the lost little raccoon and the manuscript, Hualichun sat down on the sofa and put the little raccoon's writing on his lap.

Different from ordinary manuscript paper, the manuscript paper chosen by the little raccoon is the same as the challenge form he sent, all of which are gold letters on a black background.The manuscript paper is not thick, it looks like a short story.

"Then let me read it first."

After uttering this idiomatic sentence seriously, Hualichun turned over the manuscript paper and began to concentrate on "Black Cat".

Just after reading the first few pages, her eyes lit up, and she muttered to herself: "What a rich dark style!"

The style of "Black Cat" is a writing style that has never been seen in "Monthly Literature", and the lines between the lines are filled with a dark and Gothic atmosphere.Moreover, the writer manages to pull readers into his own world view through progressive narratives in a short space of time.

Looking all the way down, Hualichun is gradually placed in the dark world of Zhong.The black cat in the story seems to be the incarnation of fear and distortion. While following the protagonist like a shadow, it also seems to jump out of the thin manuscript paper, sitting in the shadow, and spying on the readers with its pair of vertical yellow pupils.

After reading the last paragraph, the story comes to an abrupt end at the climax.After Hualichun came back to his senses, he realized that his palms were already sweating from nervousness.

If "Black Cat" can be published in "Monthly Literature", it will definitely attract readers who love Gothic style!

——And in the process, she already had a feeling of being stared at by some mysterious creature in the corner.To say that Hoshinosha's upgrade comes with reader immersion, but this feeling of being stared at is too real, making it a bit creepy.

Wiping the cold sweat off her palms, Hualichun looked up at the nervous little raccoon.

The social-phobic raccoon is obviously nervous about being criticized for his work, and his paws are rubbing the sofa cushions anxiously following the racial instinct.

"Mr. Poe."

Hualichun opened his mouth, and the sound made the little raccoon's body stiffen.

"Teacher Po, just use this one!" Hualichun tightened her hand holding the "Black Cat" manuscript, and said in a deep voice, "If you see this, Teacher Ranbu will definitely not be indifferent."

If it's "Black Cat", maybe it can really defeat "Weird with Twenty Faces"!

Hearing this, the little raccoon's eyes lit up, and he let go of the crumpled sofa cushion he had rubbed, and yelled a few times.

……

There is still one week before the No. 11 issue of "Monthly Literature" is released, and the manuscripts of the authors of this issue have rarely been collected by this time.

The printer in the office area made a "sizzling" sound.Soon, a stack of sample magazines with the aroma of ink appeared in front of Hualichun.

"This is the sample of "Monthly Literature" that will be released in a week. According to the usual practice, I will give each teacher a copy in advance." Saying this, Hualichun distributed the sample according to the number of dogs.

The dogs took away a sample magazine one after another.According to the unspoken rule that a newcomer's debut work must be promoted and ranked first, the work that ranks first this time is Edgar Allan Poe's "Black Cat".

Seeing the squinting-eyed puppy leaving who also took a sample magazine, Hualichun couldn't help but get nervous.

After watching "Black Cat", how will the dog react?

……

After entering his exclusive snack library with a sample of the new issue of "Monthly Literature" in his mouth, the dog went to the shelf, pulled down a box of bear biscuits and opened it expertly.Then, while chewing on biscuits, he flipped through the samples.

The first thing that catches the eye is Edgar Allan Poe's "The Black Cat".The squinting-eyed puppy stuffed a small biscuit into his mouth, and while chewing it, he leisurely opened the first page of "Black Cat".

creak creak creak.

creak creak creak.

Creak...creak.

The sound of chewing biscuits suddenly stopped.

The fluffy brown puppy paw pressed on the last page of "Black Cat".Ranbu dog watched the ending of "Black Cat" silently, suddenly opened his green eyes, and his expression became serious.
