Chapter 118
"Aren't you very excited?"
"Last week, who said that although Shui Xin is very young, don't bully the poor, Shui Xin can catch up with the one who has accumulated over ten years of Yu Jing in two weeks! How come Shui Xin's works are popular in less than a week? Dropped so much?"
"It seems that Teacher Yu Jing really has vicious eyes"
"It's only been two weeks, why are you panicking? After the next issue of Natsume Friends Book is serialized, its popularity will definitely be in the top ten."
"That's right, you people are too impatient. When the results of the next issue of Natsume's Friends Book come out, your current behavior will become a joke."
"Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the plot of this episode is foreshadowing, and it doesn't matter if the popularity temporarily declines. After the next episode unfolds, the popularity will definitely skyrocket!"
The two sides began to fight against each other again, but it was obvious that although the fans of Shuixin were fighting locally, their confidence was indeed lacking.
Li Xi was sitting on the sofa in Chu Yu's house.
Today, she rarely changed into casual clothes, and she seemed to be much more lively.
"How? Are you stressed?"
"Pressure? Why is there pressure?" Chu Yu said.
"What if the popularity ranking of the next issue of Natsume's Friends Book is not as you wished and squeezed into the top ten?" Li Xi asked.
"Then what else can we do?" Chu Yu said.
"But I think that if the plot and quality of the first and second episodes can reach the eleventh in popularity when the first issue is published, and there is only a gap of 20,000 votes from the tenth Xia Chuan, then I think, The second story, the Shrine of God, is not difficult to squeeze into the top ten in popularity."
"The second story is undoubtedly much better than the first."
"That's true!" Li Xi nodded.
Although she asked Chu Yu like this, in fact, she was not panic at all.
There were no similar works for comparison before, so before the first issue was published, she didn't have a clue as to how far Natsume's book of friends could achieve.
But if the third episode is a foreshadowing of the whole story, if more than 200,000 people can support the vote, and the ranking can remain at the thirteenth, then after the fourth episode is published.
In Li Xi's view, it shouldn't be a big problem if the popularity enters the top ten.
Nowadays, not only cartoonists are going to watch Chu Yu's jokes, but there are also a group of people in the comic editing world who are going to watch her jokes.
Li Xi is now silent, and he is also ready to watch those people laugh.
But things on the Internet come and go quickly.
Soon, another week passed.
The fourth chapter of Natsume's Book of Friends was published along with the release of this issue of Suiyuan.
"I don't believe it. Teacher Shui Xin, who can draw Rurouni Kenshin's Memories, can still be compared to Yu Jing, who draws edge ball cartoons?"
Chen Ke held the new issue of the Shuiyuan journal just bought from the bookstore with a displeased expression.
As the owner of the three fan groups of Shui Xin, she is a hardcore fan of Rurouni Kenshin's reminiscence, and she is very excited about the bad comments about Shui Xin in the magic capital comic circle this week.
What young man is arrogant?
What Jiang Lang is exhausted?
What Rurouni Kenshin Remembrance is the pinnacle of Shuixin.
Isn't it just a serialized comic that paved the way for the plot?
Shui Xin is not one of those popular cartoonists who have been famous for many years. Under such circumstances, it is normal for the popularity of the work to drop a little, right?
These people are too disgusting, regardless of the actual situation, they are staring at the black gap between the first and second series of Shuixin.
Back home, Chen Ke took off her high heels and put on her everyday clothes.
The whole person threw himself on the bed, first logged on to the website, and after voting for Natsume's book of friends, he opened the journal of Suiyuan and read the serialized part of Natsume's book of friends.
【The Temple of Dew God. End】
The title of this sentence made Chen Ke's eyes move.
Sure enough, just like the first two episodes in the first issue, is the third and fourth episodes two episodes and one plot?
Such works are rare!
Focus on comics
The plot continues from the previous episode.
Near the shrine where Lushen lived, Natsume met a woman named Hanako again.
The two chatted because of Lushen.
Hanako told Natsume that she had started worshipping Lushen since she was a child.
Although no one has come to worship Lushen now, but when she was a child, when she worshipped Lushen at the shrine, she could vaguely see Lushen sitting on the treetop in front of her, looking at the bright sky , said something.
"It's such a nice weather today!"
makes sense!
Hanako almost replied, but held back, because she felt that if she answered, Lushen might not appear again.
Seeing Chen Ke here seems to understand a little.
Hanako should also be the one who can see youkai. It's just not as powerful as Natsume, it seems that she can only see it occasionally.
The rhythm of the story behind it becomes very fast.
Natsume finally found the monster whose name in the friend's account was linked to the name of Lushen.
After some fighting, Natsume tore off the friend account with the names of the two demons and returned the names to the two demons.
At that moment, the memory of the two youkai and Reiko resurfaced.
"Sure enough, when the name is returned, the memory of Lingzi will emerge." Chen Ke nodded.
The same is true when returning Hishigaki's name in Chapters 1 and 2.
In memory, Reiko persuaded Lushen to find a new shrine, and no one was willing to worship him in this place.
Over time, Dew's power will weaken and his existence will disappear.
"Thank you, Reiko"
"However, as long as you have received love, as long as you have given love."
"It will never be forgotten again."
Holding the peaches that he brought to worship him, Lushen said this.
Chen Ke immediately understood what Lushen meant.
It's no problem to change the residence of a god and accept more worshippers.
However, after changing a residence, so what? No matter how many people worshiped, would there still be a girl named Hanako among those people?
Even if only Hanako is left for those who believe in him, his power will also weaken because of this. The size of his body has changed from the size of an ordinary person to the size of a teacup. Even because of his weakened strength, he is about to disappear, but because Hanako will come here to worship him. So he would rather disappear than go to a shrine with more people and accept the worship of more people?
This is the choice of the goddess
finished
Seeing this, the inexplicable sadness in Chen Ke's heart resurfaced.
This feeling also appeared when I read Natsume's friend account in Chapter 1 and 2.
But this time, it seemed stronger.
After returning the name of Lushen, Natsume also often went to Lushen's shrine and offered sacrifices to him.
But on this day, Natsume walked to the shrine of Lushen, only to see Lushen who became smaller and his glowing body
what's the situation?
No!
Although the appearance of Lushen is not long, but seeing this, Chen Ke already likes this monster with an old man's head mask created by Shui Xin.
"Hanako passed away, Hanako has been sick for a long time"
"She is the last person who believes in me, and when she dies, I will disappear too"
As he spoke, Lushen's glowing body had a spot of light drifting away.
"I'm here to believe in you," Xia Mu said anxiously in order to prevent Lushen from disappearing after he understood the situation.
"No, you are my friend"
"That's it, let me go with Hanako."
Natsume stretched out her fingers and touched Lushen's hand.
"Originally. I just kept looking at her." Lu Shen said.
It also recalled when Hanako was young, when she got married, and how she grew up until now.
"But I think now, I can finally touch her."
Nope, seeing this, Chen Ke couldn't hold back.
She was originally a sentimental person. Although Lushen and Hanako had never talked once in their lives, Lushen would rather disappear than move her residence for Hanako, and accepted the belief of more people.
And Hanako, even though she was seriously ill and dying, did not forget to bring her peach to worship Lushen.
Is the relationship between the two of them friendship, love, or something else?
Hanako's only regret is that when she saw Lushen, she didn't respond to his words.
"It's such a nice weather today!"
But Natsume knew it, and knew that Hanako had seen the existence of Lushen.
"Ms. Hanako once, heard your voice, dew"
Before he was about to disappear, Natsume told Lushen about it.
In the light, Lu Shen's expression was not real, and seemed to be smiling.
"Thank you, Natsume-sama."
"From before to now, human beings are lovely creatures!"
The screen flashed, and time seemed to return to the past.
Lushen sat on the treetop, looked at the sky, and said that sentence.
"It's such a nice weather today!"
"That's right!" Hanako, who was a girl, did not hesitate, looking at Lushen and replied.
Maybe this is just a fantasy when one person and one demon are dying.
But when this fantasy was drawn on paper by Shuixin, the emotions accumulated before the words finally vented out.
In my heart, that uncomfortable and moving feeling rose again, but it was much stronger than when Natsume's first issue was serialized.
In the first issue, Chen Ke could still hold back.
But the simple and sad feelings and fetters of Lushen and Hanako made her extremely uncomfortable.
Sure enough, although this guy Shui Xin is just a young boy, but in fact he must be a person much older than his age.
Whether it's Rurouni Kenshin's Memories, or Natsume's Book of Friends, his works are all like this, and people are touched inadvertently.
The girls beside him must be fascinated by him, this guy is too understanding
At this moment, Chen Ke's thoughts were chaotic.
Open your own water-heart fan group.
There was already a lot of sadness in the group.
The full screen is brushing Lushen, Hanako, Natsume.
"I couldn't help it, I cried."
"Two people and demons who never said a word in their lives, but in the end they didn't forget each other until they died. Do you think this is not love?"
"Mr. Shui Xin, I was wrong. I shouldn't have doubted your strength after that article was published in the last issue. I lent my family's mobile phone to Natsume's friend account and voted, to make up for my mistake that I didn't vote in the last issue."
"The plot in the first issue has moved me enough. I didn't expect the plot of this issue to directly make me cry. I can't bear it. This kind of plot is too lethal for me!"
"Not much to say, let's vote for the support first. After all, Mr. Shui Xin has spoken out, and this week, Natsume's popularity will be squeezed into the top ten of Shui Yuan."
"That's right, what else are you playing if this work doesn't make it into the top ten?"
"I can't stand the arrogance of Yu Jing's fans this week. It's time for those people to see the cohesion of Mr. Shui Xin's fans."
Chen Ke, as the group leader, must be the first to stand up.
I directly called on everyone to support the work of Natsume's Book of Friends.
