Is this cartoonist mentally ill?.

Chapter 309 Heartbreak (original)

"...Yes, store manager, I've thought about it."

Ke Xinjie said solemnly to the manager of the milk tea shop.

The store manager is also a girl, but she is slightly older.

She looked at Ke Xinjie, seeing no one around, and asked in a low voice, "Xinjie, have you found another job?"

"Actually... I have saved enough money, and my parents have also sponsored some entrepreneurial funds for me. I plan to open a nail salon with friends I met before..."

Ke Xinjie suddenly spoke truthfully and slowly.

After all, she has a pretty good relationship with the store manager.

"That way...I'll feel relieved."

The store manager breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I thought you were just going to resign as soon as your brain got hot..."

After another chat with the store manager, Ke Xinjie completed her resignation application.

However, the store manager was still very enthusiastic about giving her employee benefits and ordered two cups of milk tea for free to take away.

Ke Xinjie walked out of the milk tea shop, but she didn't feel very relaxed.

On the contrary, what comes next is an unprecedented new challenge for her.

After all, working for others is completely different from opening your own shop and being your own boss.

During this period of time, she has been running back and forth, and she feels the hardship even more.

After detailed discussions with her partners, she will rent the store, find someone to decorate it, and contact the supply source... In addition, she will continue working at the milk tea shop.

This really made her so tired that she didn't even have time to read comics or watch TV dramas.

But...after the preliminary work was almost completed and she officially resigned from her job at the milk tea shop...

Finally she can relax for a while!

Ke Xinjie took the milk tea ordered by the store manager for free, put it in her car, and planned to drive home.

"It's been a long time since I read comics..."

She suddenly thought of comics and said, ""Gods" and "Parasite" should have been published in single volumes by now. Then go to the bookstore to buy the single volumes and go back and read them."

She has been so exhausted in the past two months that she has no time to read comics or follow TV series.

Now that she finally has some free time, can't she enjoy it?

After a while, the nail salon will be busy again...

Then there would be no time.

So, Ke Xinjie drove to a nearby bookstore and bought the two newly released single volumes of "Gods" and the complete set of "Parasite Beasts" - because buying the current complete set of three single volumes of "Parasite Beasts" comes with Lin Qingshan. A short comic "Goodbye Eri".

So she bought them all together.

As for "Protoss", when she opens a store and makes a lot of money, she will definitely buy all three sets!

One set for collection, one set for self-reading, and one set for preaching!
……

"Oh, I'm so exhausted!"

Ke Xinjie took the comics and milk tea and moved back to the old building she rented.

After all, he is just an ordinary migrant worker, and he is definitely not as rich as Lin Qingshan to rent an apartment with an elevator.

Ke Xinjie made up her mind that when she got rich, she would move to a commercial building with an elevator!

When the time comes, bring your parents over from their hometown and enjoy the blessings!
She first put the milk tea aside, then took the comic book and put it on the sofa.

Then he stuck the straw into the milk tea and lay down on the sofa, ready to enjoy the long-lost comic time.

Ke Xinjie first read the two latest single volumes of "Gods". "Gods" is indeed very popular now.

The latest "Gods" has been hailed as the best-selling fantasy juvenile comic in the Republic in the past five years.

It can even compete with the earlier "The Hidden Lord" to be the best-selling fantasy boy comic in the decade, and compete with "Chainsaw Man" to be the best-selling comic in the new generation.

And the popularity of "Protoss" is getting stronger and stronger. The first Dawn of Fire was still average and felt tepid.

In the second part of Eyes of the Mourner, the game started off well, with Rainy Night, Maybach and Viaduct, and continued to rise thereafter.

Although the current plot of the third part is still being serialized, I feel that the world view is richer and the plot is more interesting.

All we can say is... Lin Qingshan's "Dragon" in his previous life was also like this. The second part began to reach its peak, and the third part established the status of a fantasy masterpiece in one fell swoop - if there were no fourth and fifth parts that followed.

Of course, comic fans in this world don’t know this.

Like Lin Qingshan back then, they were completely immersed in the colorful worldview and intense and exciting plot of "Gods" and couldn't extricate themselves.

Ke Xinjie has also finished reading the two new stand-alone books of "Protoss", the touching "Tokyo Love Story", as well as the subsequent attack of the fierce ghosts and the appearance of the biggest mastermind behind the scenes - Wang Jiang.

But in the end, there is still speculation about the identity of the bad boy Yang Mingfei and what the little devil is, and the stand-alone plot is over.

"It seems... the little devil is the second personality that was spawned from Shao Zai's pontine surgery, right?"

Ke Xinjie took a sip of milk tea and guessed, "So Shai Zai should be the black emperor! The little devil is not the white king."

After still being immersed in the story of "Protoss" for a while, Ke Xinjie picked up the single volume of "Parasite Beast" and started reading.

The last time she watched "Parasite" was... episode 13, and she stopped watching the following episodes 14 and 15.

Currently, Ke Xinjie still thinks "Parasite" is pretty good.

But she can't like the male protagonist Xinyi.

In other words, apart from Xiaoyou, there is currently no character in "Parasite" that she can like.

The male protagonist Shinichi is too cowardly. Without Xiaoyou, I really feel that he is just an ordinary student who is bullied.

Needless to say, the male protagonist’s parents are just ordinary people, with no bright spots at all.

The same goes for the female protagonist, and the female parasitic beast Tamiya Ryoko...she is still a character in the villain camp.

Therefore, Ke Xinjie doesn’t think the comic “Parasite” is very interesting yet.

It's just that she is a fan of Lin Qingshan's comics and believes in Lin Qingshan's creative ability, so she keeps reading.

Ke Xinjie opened the second booklet, found the page number of Chapter 14, and started reading.

She saw that Shinichi still had different views from Xiaoyou, and was still bullied without the ability to fight back.

This made her a little angry.

Why is Shinichi still so cowardly?

Then Ke Xinjie saw the plot at the end where Quan's mother was killed by a parasitic beast and took over her body. She was still a little uncomfortable.

Maybe it's because girls are more emotional.

Especially this is the mother of the protagonist Shinichi.

With comic fans generally assuming the role of the protagonist, Ke Xinjie certainly doesn't feel comfortable.

Turning to episode 15, Shinichi, who still doesn’t know that his mother has been killed, is eating instant noodles at home.

But at the same time, the phone he put aside rang.

"Is this a call from a public phone booth?"①
Although Xinyi was a little confused, he still answered the phone.

"Shinichi?"

Quan's father's voice came over the phone, and the screen switched to him. He was now seriously injured and making calls in the phone booth.

"dad?"

Shinichi asked doubtfully.

"Your mother...Xin...Axin..."

"Mom her?"

Shinichi said with a bad premonition flashing through his heart.

However, Quan's father did not tell the story of Quan's mother's murder, but said, "...Go to the police quickly, that is a monster..."

Then he fell limp.

Although Xinyi was very anxious, there was nothing he could do.

And he heard Quan's father mentioning Quan's mother and the so-called monsters on the phone just now... He had a bad feeling in his heart. Could it be that... Mom and Dad encountered a parasitic beast?
That mother...

In fear and worry, Xinyi dreamed of Quan's father and Quan's mother's voice, but Quan's mother suddenly left him.

But just then...

Xiaoyou felt the brain waves of a parasitic beast nearby, and headed towards it and Shinichi.

Xinxin immediately cheered up, even though he didn't want to kill other humans, and he didn't want to take action.

But he will not be polite when facing the parasitic beast.

So he picked up a knife from the kitchen at home and planned to kill the parasitic beast with Xiaoyou.

"...It stopped and was already at the door of the house."

Xiaoyou felt the brain waves of the parasitic beast at this time, and immediately said to Shinichi.

"Okay, then let's solve it together!"

Xinyi took the knife and walked out of the living room.

He cautiously approached the door of his house with Xiaoyou, holding a knife and preparing to fight at any time.

At this moment, the door handle was turned open...

"here we go again……"

Ke Xinjie suddenly felt that this scene was very familiar, "This...Xinyi, please don't open the door..."

Isn't this the scene from "Chainsaw Man"?

Then the door opened and there was my mother whose body was taken over by a parasitic beast...

This... is as miserable as Denji's time.

Only this time, it's not the protagonist who opens the door, but the other party who opens the door himself.

"Did you open the lock?"

Brand New One was also very confused and said.

After all, don’t parasitic beasts usually just break through the door?
And you need a key to open the door... Where did this parasitic beast get the key?
At this moment, the screen showed the feet of the parasitic beast walking in.

Shinichi and Xiaoyou watched closely the shadow approaching at the door...

The shadow grew longer and longer, and finally...

A familiar figure and face appeared in front of Brand New One and Xiaoyou!
That's...quanma!
But her cold expression revealed her current true identity...a parasitic beast!
That parasitic beast killed Quan's mother and took over her body, and came to find Shinichi!
Ke Xinjie felt that she was numb when she saw this scene...

If Quan's mother died like this, she wouldn't feel so uncomfortable.

But... this parasitic beast took over Quan Ma's body and turned into Quan Ma's appearance, looking for Shinichi!

Shinichi immediately froze on the spot, and even Xiaoyou... had a shocked expression on his face.

The parasitic beast stretched out its scarred right hand and placed it on the wall.

This makes Xinyi feel no luck anymore...

That's mom.

But he didn't believe that his mother was killed by a parasitic beast and even took over his body!

"mom……"

Shinichi shouted with the idea of ​​luck.

However, "Quan's mother" still looks indifferent. After all, she is not Quan's mother, but a parasitic beast!

"mom?"

Brand New One couldn't believe it again and wanted to keep trying, so he shouted.

however……

"Didn't that man come back?"

The parasitic beast that had taken over Quan Ma's body still said with an indifferent expression.

"mom……"

"Shinichi, no, she's not."

Xiaoyou reacted at this time and said extremely calmly.

However, Xinyi was unwilling to accept this cruel fact at all. Instead, he continued to smile at the parasitic beast that had taken over Quan's mother's body and said, "Welcome home...ah, Mom, you are so strange..."

Ke Xinjie looked at this scene and felt so distressed that she didn't know what to say.

Tears welled up in her eyes, feeling extremely sad.

"Why... why do you want the protagonist's mother's body to be taken over by a parasitic beast, and it uses Quan's mother's appearance to find Shinichi?"

Ke Xinjie really felt distressed when she saw this scene and said.

However, the parasitic beast that took over Quan Ma's body ignored the human being Zhen Xinyi. Instead, his eyes moved strangely and glanced at Xiao You.

"What's going on? Why is it parasitic on the right hand?"

she said coldly.

"It took over your mother's body and became like your mother."

Xiaoyou said to Xinyi.

However, at this moment, Xinxin glanced at the parasitic beast occupying Quan's mother's body, and he still didn't want to believe this fact.

Even if the facts are clear.

But humans themselves are animals that escape reality.

"Oh this..."

Xinyi actually held the knife, put it in front of Xiaoyou, and said, "I originally planned to tell you earlier, but I delayed it until now... I was afraid of scaring you, I'm sorry!"

"Shinichi, she is not your mother..."

"Shut up!!"

Shinichi roared, interrupting Xiaoyou.

"Is that man really dead?"

The parasitic beast that had taken over Quan Ma's body said again, "No, it is necessary to go back and confirm."

"Shinichi, let go of the kitchen knife, it's in the way."

However, Shinichi continued to want to "awaken" Quan's mother, saying, "It's weird to have a talking right hand..."

"Right hand? You are so unlucky."

The parasitic beast that took over Quanma's body said, "It failed to take over the brain and was dominated by humans."

"Mom... I will tell you everything I have hidden from you!"

Quanxinyi really didn't want this to be true. He still avoided the fact and tried to say to Quan's mother, "So don't make such jokes with me anymore..."

"Shinichi, please wake up, your mother has..."

Xiaoyou also wants Shinichi to wake up.

"Shut up, shut up, you're the monster!"

A brand new man looked like he was crazy and took the knife and fell on Xiaoyou's body, blood dripping on the ground.

"Mom...Mom, do you still remember?"

He smiled sadly, looked at Quan Ma, and said, "The injury on your hand... Every time I see this injury, I can't let it go, and I want to apologize to you..."

But under Quanxinyi’s sad gaze, “Quanma’s” head split open.

"Shinichi!"

Xiaoyou just wanted to remind him, but it was too late.

I saw Quan Ma’s head turned into a blade, piercing through Xin Xinyi’s chest!
