Is this cartoonist mentally ill?.

Chapter 497 X Factor
For the comic fans and audiences who have always supported Lin Qingshan's works, the biggest feature is "mental illness".

The sudden and completely unexpected plot, which is difficult to accept but barely acceptable, makes comic fans and audiences go crazy.

This is also the origin of Lin Qingshan’s nickname “mental patient”.

Apart from that... the most common unexpected plot is of course the knife-cutting plot.

Only a haircut can elicit such a strong reaction from comic fans and audiences.

Therefore, most of the plots in Lin Qingshan's works that are talked about and played with constant memes are knife-cutting plots.

In the first twenty episodes of "EVA", there has been no knife-cutting plot.

In the plot where Unit 03, which seemed to be the most likely to be damaged, was invaded by the Angel, in the end, Shinji Ikari's friend Suzuhara was only seriously injured.

This inevitably makes the audience a little... disappointed.

After all, at this point in time, the knife-fighting plot has become an important part of Lin Qingshan's works that must be tasted.

Everyone is more for fun.

If there were no more interesting plots and Lin Qingshan's works were no longer released, they would feel a little disappointed.

Just like Lao Xu in Lin Qingshan’s previous life, he doesn’t even use a knife, so what’s the point.

Many viewers watched Urobuchi's works just to see him use the sword, and if he didn't use the sword, they would find it boring.

The first twenty episodes of "EVA" were not revised, although the plot and setting still continued the excellence and brilliance of "Anything produced by Qingshan must be a masterpiece".

But it always feels like something is missing.

Now Ryoji Kaji was suddenly shot dead for no apparent reason.

The audience said that this was perfect!
"That's right, that's right! This sudden, neurotic plot of sending out knives! It must be the old thief Qingshan!"

"I thought the old thief had really turned over a new leaf. After 20 episodes, not a single person has died. Is he still the old thief?"

"It's so pitiful for Kaji Ryoji. He just got close to Misato and then he was killed."

"What happened? (Teacher Ma's voice) Why did Kaji Ryoji get stabbed all of a sudden?"

"This feels like... was it Ritsuko who fired the gun?"

"It should be Ikari Gendō. After all, as a double agent, he has so much information about Ikari Gendō."

"It doesn't make sense. Ikari Gendō has already said that there is no need to kill him. Kaji Ryoji still has some value."

"I think it was Seele's organization. After all, he gave the Nebuchadnezzar Key to Ikari Gendo secretly. I guess Seele knew about it and killed him directly."

"First of all, we can confirm that Kaji Ryoji was very familiar with the person who shot him, and he was not on guard, otherwise he would not have said that."

"And he didn't expect the other party to kill him. But as a double agent, Kaji Ryoji should be wary of both sides."

"Yes, in fact, even if it was Ritsuko, Kaji Ryoji had told Misato before that she was deceived by the commander and Ritsuko, so he would not be without any defense against Ritsuko."

"So... could it be that Misato killed Kaji Ryoji?!"

"You know what, it's really possible. After all, she was given a gun when she was released."

"We still don't know who fired the shot."

……

This matter has become an unsolved mystery because there are so many doubts and it is not clearly stated in the animation series.

So many viewers went to Lin Qingshan’s major social media platforms to ask who fired the shot.

However, Lin Qingshan certainly would not reveal the answer so easily.

This even made Akutami Yuuta, an avid fan of "EVA", couldn't wait to ask Lin Qingshan.

"Teacher, who killed Kaji Ryoji?"

When Lin Qingshan looked at the message he sent, he was stunned for a moment.

"Um, I actually wanted to keep this a secret."

Lin Qingshan replied.

Then he soon received another reply from Akutami Yuta——

Akutami Yuta: "Don't worry, teacher, I won't tell anyone."

Akutami Yuta: "I'm just too curious."

Akutami Yuta: "Really, I won't tell anyone, just tell me, teacher."

Lin Qingshan scratched his head in distress, then he thought about it and decided that it would be okay to just tell Akutami Yuta.

In the previous life, the official of "EVA" actually gave the answer, which was to shoot the character of Ryoji Kaji, without so many conspiracy theories.

Neither Gendō Ikari instructed Ritsuko to do it, nor was it Ryoji Kaji who was shot by Misato herself.

Rather... an unknown character sent by Seele.

That is, passerby A.

When the answer to this mystery came out, the audience was naturally a little disappointed.

They actually hoped that Ryoji Kaji's death was a conspiracy and had a deeper meaning, rather than him dying at the hands of an unknown person.

Lin Qingshan also thought so. There was no point in making a mystery about dying among unknown people.

Telling it to others would be disappointing.

So he chose the statement that was most speculated and most supported by the audience.

"It was Ritsuko who did it, but she was not ordered by Ikari Gendō."

Lin Qingshan typed his reply.

On the other side, Akutami Yuta immediately understood after seeing Lin Qingshan's reply, and at the same time felt a sense of excitement for having guessed the answer correctly.

"Thank you for the answer, teacher!"

He first replied to Lin Qingshan.

then……

"As expected, it was Ryoji Kaji who was killed by Ritsuko."

He said with satisfaction, "Teacher's plot is as exciting as ever, and the setting of "EVA", the setting of this biological mecha is really good..."

Yuta Akutami even thinks that "EVA" is the work with the most outstanding setting among all the works of Lin Qingshan, second only to the cyberpunk and cyborg system of "Edgewalker".

However, he also likes the prosthetic system of "Edgewalker". He likes the contrast between biological creatures and mechas very much.

Yuta Akutami even wanted to draw a work similar to the setting of "EVA" after finishing "Jujutsu Kaisen".

But... he still felt it was too long.

"In fact, Nozomi can control Geto Suguru's corpse, so it's actually possible... right?"

A bold idea suddenly came to Akutami Yuta's mind, to insert a plot that pays tribute to "EVA" into the subsequent plot of "Jujutsu Kaisen"!

After all, he had actually paid tribute to the teacher's "Vortex" before, and the teacher didn't mind, so it should be fine.

But let’s first think about the next plot where “the strongest sorcerer in history” Ryoumen Sukuna challenges “the strongest sorcerer in modern times” Gojo Satoru.

In fact, Akutami Yuta had already conceived of it before, and in the end it would definitely be... that "the strongest sorcerer in modern times" Gojo Satoru would defeat Ryomen Sukuna!
Who says the strongest in history is stronger than the strongest in modern times!

In his heart, Gojo Satoru is the strongest, and for this reason he has done a lot of preparation for the plot before this.

For example, Gojo Satoru’s “declaration of victory after awakening” clearly indicates that Gojo Satoru “will win”!
Just when Akutami Yuta was about to call a comic assistant to complete the next plot together.

He turned on his phone and saw a piece of news that made him devastated.

……

After discovering that Akutami Yuta had not replied, Lin Qingshan did not say anything more. "Pochita! Help me get the tablet."

He said to Pochita, calling out.

Pochita was very humane and took the bag containing the tablet computer hanging on the table and put it in Lin Qingshan's hand.

Then it licked Lin Qingshan's arm fiercely.

"Haha, it's so itchy, Pochita, ah Pochita!"

Lin Qingshan rubbed Pochita affectionately, and then... like a magic trick, he took out a can, opened it directly, and fed it to Pochita.

The high-quality dog ​​food from the future market is mainly used to relieve dogs’ aging and prevent osteoporosis.

After all, Pochita is a dog and is quite old.

However, Lin Qingshan and Gu Qianli were reluctant to part with Pochita, so Lin Qingshan found many ways from the system's Lao Deng to extend Pochita's life.

"System Lao Deng..."

After feeding Pochita, Lin Qingshan called out the system again.

In fact, whenever he is free, he will call up the system administrator to communicate.

"I should have unlocked it by now..."

Lin Qingshan began to count them one by one, saying, "Edgewalker, Flame Fist, Chainsaw Man, Parasyte, Daoweiyixian, Slash! Scarlet Eyes, Ghoul, Fate Zero, Evangelion, and Madoka Magica..."

"There are already nine works, but the subject matter seems to be..."

He blinked.

“It includes Edgewalker and The Flaming Fist, which have no theme requirements, Chainsaw Man, which is a religious theme, and Parasyte, which is an environmental theme.”

"The fairy-tale-themed "Dao Guiyi Xian", the epic fantasy "Fate Zero", the children's work "Madoka Magica"..."

"Other "Ghouls" have no obvious overlapping themes, and "EVA" overlaps with religious themes, so the host still needs to unlock the last two themes."

The system immediately listed them for him, "The next genre to be unlocked is... a battle of wits genre."

"A battle of wits?"

Lin Qingshan said curiously, "Let me think... "Kakegurui", this is a battle of wits, but the subject matter is not very good."

Gambling-themed movies like "Kakegurui" are indeed not very good.

Although it is also warning the audience not to gamble, the consequences of gambling are generally not very good.

But just like his previous Young and Dangerous works, the original intention was good, but there were indeed viewers who distorted its meaning.

So it’s best not to make it.

So……

"Should I choose Death Note or Steins;Gate?"

Lin Qingshan immediately said curiously, "Battle of wits... Actually, it's still the word 'battle', so forget it, let's just make Death Note next."

"By the way, System Master, what is your last comic book-themed limited mission?"

He said curiously again.

“I can’t tell you at this time.”

However, the system answered like this.

"Okay...but I'll try my best!"

Lin Qingshan scratched his face in confusion, but in the end he said to the system with full enthusiasm, "Lao Deng! You will be free soon! Believe me!"

"……Thanks."

The system finally said.

Then it retreated again.

"Let's read the comics first."

After the system exited, Lin Qingshan suddenly let out a sigh of relief and said, "The plot of Chunqiang's comics is quite interesting recently."

Lin Qingshan’s three former assistants all have hit it big with their current works.

There is no need to say much about the works of Mr. Crocodile and Mr. One-Eyed Cat. "Jujutsu Kaisen" has been popular for a long time, and the popularity of the first season of the animation has been ruthlessly harvested after it was released.

If it weren’t for the fact that "Taoism is a strange fairy" was more popular, and the first season of the animation was also aired.

I’m afraid that it will be pushed down from the top spot in popularity when the “Jujutsu Kaisen” animation is at its most popular.

As for Wu Shiqing's "Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba", it is also quite popular. The animation has been completed and will be broadcast in the second half of the year.

Lin Qingshan believes that the popularity of "Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba" will skyrocket after it is broadcast.

But overall, "Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba" is still not as good as Chen Chunqiang's "Re:Creator".

Because Chen Chunqiang's works are a bit like fan works, they create brand new stories based on the popular characters of Lin Qingshan's popular works.

Both the gimmick and the plot are quite attractive.

In addition to this, Lin Qingshan actually has another work that he pays special attention to.

That is Yang Shuzhun’s new work "Jiuzhoulu".

His comic this time is an epic fantasy comic written in the ancient oriental style, and should be called an oriental comic.

Then this time he asked Lin Qingshan for help, worked hard to learn the new Chinese comic style used in the comic "Daoguiyixian", hired three new assistants, and carefully prepared the work.

The plot of "Jiuzhoulu" at the beginning is also quite shocking and interesting. It starts with the return of the Qingyang tribe's prince Lu Guichen Asule, and shows a bloody war on the grassland.

But... because of the subsequent plot and the issue of the series being cut short in Yang Shuzhun's "The Protoss", not many comic fans were willing to jump in at the beginning.

However, its excellent plot and painting still attracted many new comic fans.

After all, there are old comic fans and new comic fans.

No one is young forever, but there is always someone who is young.

Yang Shuzhun's comic works are for those young comic fans!

So Lin Qingshan is mainly following "Re: The Creator" and "Kyushu Lu" recently. As for other comics...

In fact, to be honest, he had already read the comics and even the animations of "Jujutsu Kaisen", "Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba", and "Douluo Dalu" in his previous life.

So the expectations are not that high, and going to watch it again is just a revisit.

But "Re:Creator" and "Kyushuroku"... those are areas I haven't seen before.

Although he had read the novel version of "Jiuzhoulu" in his previous life, he had never read the comic version.

So he doesn't pay much attention to "Jujutsu Kaisen" and "Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba".

Lin Qingshan opened his tablet, and just as he was about to watch "Re: The Creator", a lot of news headlines pushed by Weibo appeared.

"Gu Yuege responded to playing a new role in the movie Parasyte, saying it was a big challenge."

"The TV series "The Taoist Immortal" is in preparation, and many new generation powerful movie stars such as Lin Luhua, Zhou Chongyu, and Deng Silun are competing for the role of the protagonist Li Huowang."

"Henyu Hanyu, a famous figure skater in Japan, suddenly announced that he has married his wife! He told the media that he hopes to receive everyone's blessings!"

"Exposure! The Squid Nation has repeatedly disputed the ownership of the Kassa region with the United Nations!"

……

Lin Qingshan just glanced at the messages and then deleted them without paying any attention to them. Then he clicked on the Manjie comics software to read comics.
