Cartoonist's Dream

Time and space shifted, early spring, a thriving Qingxu District of Nanhua City.

"Good morning, little teacher."

This morning, when I went out for morning exercises early in the morning, I heard a refreshing greeting, and the voice sounded a little playful and cute, but the person calling was a young man with yellow hair.

To be precise, it should be a young girl disguised as a yellow-haired young man. No matter how good the disguise is, it can't hide Li Mu's real krypton alloy dog ​​eyes, not to mention that this yellow-haired young woman is not a professional makeup artist.

Although she didn't know why she did this, the energetic voice made Li Mu feel that she was not malicious.

"Xiangjuan, what a coincidence, are you here to exercise too?"

Xiang's family should be a pseudonym—Li Mu didn't mean to expose her.Of course, if this apprentice wanted to explain why, Li Mu didn't mind sitting down and listening to her talk.

Xiang Juan is Limu's favorite student.

Li Mu also went to her private dormitory to paint her portrait. She seems to be from a relatively well-to-do family who can afford to rent a single dormitory. Now she even bought an apartment near the Manga Palace, which is very close to the bungalow at the entrance of Qingdong Village. [

Compared to the end of Taoyuan Road where the bungalows are located, the suburbs are obviously farther away from the city center, but they are now bustling with activity.The Suburban Comics Industrial Park gathers industries such as printing houses, comic studios, animation production companies, game production companies, and an electronic commercial street (prototype).

Xiang's residence is probably near the industrial park. If you walk along Taoyuan Road to the river embankment in the city center for morning exercises, you may always meet her little teacher in the opposite direction every week.

"Well, exercise...Little teacher——Actually, I have something to tell you today."

……

Laba, January 2005, 1, Monday morning.

The yellow-haired puppet man informs his mentor Li Mu.

It is said that someone planned a kidnapping operation against him, the time of the operation was in the near future, and the location of the operation was unknown.Huang Mao refused to reveal his identity.He also refused to tell Li Mu the source of the news, but told him to hide for a while.

For the disciple's kidnapping notice, Li Mu just laughed it off.Even if he came out alone for morning exercises like today, he was not afraid. With the increasing control over his breath, he was confident that he would be able to escape unscathed after killing a chief in the military region.But anyway.It's easy to hide a hidden arrow, but it's hard to defend against it. He still wants to get some information.

Sure enough, seeing that Li Mu didn't believe it, the yellow-haired puppet man still kept secret about it after hesitating for a long time.

First of all, there is a huge force that wants to kill T Publishing House. This is definitely predictable, and it is very clear who is behind it.These people are all people on the white road.It is inconvenient to do some "dirty hands" things, so I asked the underworld to help with things.After paying a large amount of commission, the underworld elite was finally hired, and he provided various forms of help to the underworld elite, the most useful of which was Limu's daily schedule.

Then the gang elite recruited "temporary workers" by instigating them.What is different from the last hooligan incident is that this time, although the gangster elites are inseparable from the kidnappers on the one hand, they also play a similar role in directing operations on the other hand.Even hard objects such as funds and firearms were provided to ensure the success of the operation.

Kidnappers and gangsters have different determinations and grades.They have made extremely detailed plans in advance, including the location of the kidnapping, the time of the kidnapping, the escape route, etc., which is very dangerous——

And...they made the decision to tear up the ticket as soon as they got the money.

"This—how cruel?"

Li Mu made a long sound like Zhou Xingxing, stopped and wiped his sweat. [

"...Then I have to call the police as soon as possible, and we must find out who is behind the scenes!"

He nodded while pinching his chin, and then raised his eyes slightly to peek upwards.Looking at the puppet man with a serious expression like "Your joke can't fool me, I'm going to call the police, why don't you surrender quickly?"

"Little teacher...you come with me!"

Huangmao gritted his teeth, and immediately pulled Limu into a hidden place.

This is the sidewalk next to Qinghu Forest Park.After the respiration of trees overnight, the forest park is full of carbon dioxide. Of course, morning exercisers who have already developed health care awareness will not drill into it.But in terms of concealment, it is no problem to fight in the field here before the morning fog clears.

In order to convince Li Mu to believe his words, Huang-haired puppet man simply went all out, hid behind a big tree and paused for a while... He grabbed Li Mu's hand and pressed it to his chest.

——Although it was strangled by something, the flesh that should be soft was still soft.

As soon as Li Mufu touched it, he immediately withdrew his hand like an electric shock.His wife in the previous life had just woken up, and Yisha hadn't explained it yet, so he really didn't want to mess with women anymore.

"You, are you a woman?" Li Mu stuttered.

"Little teacher, now you know that the students didn't lie to you, right?"

"Ah. What you said is true?...It's terrible, you have to call the police!"

Li Mu immediately took out his mobile phone and wanted to call the police, but was stopped by the yellow-haired puppet man.

"Calling the police is useless. There are gangster elites behind the scenes to help. Not to mention whether they can catch people or not, they may even change their plans after receiving the news. It is even more detrimental to us to face the unknown new plan like a fly. "

Huang Mao is definitely from the kidnapper's side, at least he was originally a member of that side.Li Mu noticed that she called herself "we" to herself, so she didn't need to continue to observe other signs to know that Huang Mao must have betrayed.

As for the reason...he can guess a little bit, anyway, it is definitely far from the "deep relationship between master and apprentice".

"You... who are you? What kind of bad idea are you planning?"

Li Mu pretended to be scared and took two steps back to question, so as to distance the "dangerous distance" between the two of them. He could no longer let the woman outside the bureau who was approaching the bureau be trapped.

"My name is Kurosawa Ai, and I'm also a member of the gang. I can only tell you this, and I will leave the mainland soon..."

Huang Mao didn't expect that in exchange for frank confession, she would be on guard. For the distrust of her mentor who had been with her for a long time, she warned her and left the forest park.

...voyeur camera flips...

The day passed away quietly, and a dark cloud drifted over the warehouse in Pingnan District. Kurosawa Ai came here again to persuade the kidnapping plan, at least changing the tearing ticket to breaking Limu's hands was also a victory.

Although Kurosawa Ai belongs to the Kurosawa Group in Osaka District, her elder brother is also the head of the Osaka City Branch under Honshu.But this time the people sent were the elites sent by the higher-level department of the Osaka City Branch Chief, the National Essence Association of Western Honshu.

Facing elites of this status, she is not even qualified to participate in the plan, and can only act as an assistant or tour guide who provides information.

Kurosawa Ai, who still kept her men's clothing, easily opened the warehouse door.

Just when she was wondering why the door was undefended, four men in black robes immediately surrounded her.

The warehouse door was closed again by them.They stared at themselves eagerly, as if waiting for the next order.But that person didn't mean to issue an order...

"Oh, are you looking for him? It seems a little late."

The person who spoke was standing in the middle of the warehouse, and a tall man in a blue coat lay under his feet. Judging from the area of ​​bleeding, this man should have been hopeless.

"You actually want to touch my Li Mu-kun, you're really asking for your own death...ah. Of course, I'm not talking about you."

Kurosawa Ai heard a familiar voice coming from the black robe, and saw that she was 100% an acquaintance of Li Mu, and she became curious—then she narrowed her pupils slightly into a slit, and tried to see her face clearly from under the felt hat.

"Oh...?"

Under the felt hat, there was an obvious round face, and Ai Kurosawa asked her in surprise:

"Aren't you...? I saw you next to the little teacher."

"That's right. Li Mu-kun is my lover, and I'm the person Li Mu-kun loves... Li Mu-kun and I are always inseparable...I think you performed well today, do you want to join our team?"

The round face said to itself like a broken doll.

"No, I'm leaving now."

Ai Kurosawa smiled awkwardly, and pointed to the warehouse gate, knowing that the command center would be occupied by this group of vicious neuropaths in black robes... I shouldn't have come tonight.

The sent elites were killed inexplicably, and the headquarters will never let it go without knowing the reason.Kurosawa Ai can be sure that the first person to be suspected must be herself, and then she can only truthfully confess the woman.

But what group does she belong to... After thinking for a second, Ai Kurosawa got the answer.

"Damn it - Li Mu-kun is going through hardships, but I can't serve him by his side."

The woman who was clearly the leader shouted.

"Damn—the sage is going through hardships, but we can't serve him around!"

The rest of the black-robed women beat their chests and stamped their feet.

(Sure enough, it's a combination of crazy, perverted, out-of-the-ordinary neuropathy.) Ai Kurosawa made a keen judgment.

The group of ruthless black-robed people in front of them is obviously a new religious group, and the round face of the leader used some means to confuse them, making the group members believe that Li Mu is a human god walking in the world.

"I hate that I can't be his right arm, I hate that I can't share his worries, I hate that I only have one sibling, I hate that I am weak."

The round face raised its arms.Shouted in tears, her actions and words were contagious.

In an instant, an image emerged in Ai Kurosawa's mind: the most influential speaker in Germany - Adolf Hitler!

Then in the next moment, the black-robed women's group responded heartbroken——

"I hate that we can't be His right arm and right arm. I hate that we can't share His worries. I hate that we are only a pair. I hate that we are so weak!"*17

Crazy, screaming loudly!The estimated number of people is 17, but there should be others hiding in the dark of the warehouse.

(That round face—what did she do to them?) Ai Kurosawa really doesn't understand.

Is it hypnosis?Is it brainwashing?Or simply adore Li Mu... It's ridiculous, this kind of thing.

however……

"—— Kurosawa Ai, you are also his believer, you can abandon the sinful and despicable organization for him, why don't you join our team to protect him?"

The moment he heard one of the black-robed women questioning, Kurosawa Ai shuddered all over. What he did was indeed suspected of betraying the organization, but it was definitely not a betrayal of his underworld ideals.

Before being interrogated by the National Essence Society, he took refuge in another organization to avoid disaster?Even if you betray, you won't betray your cult... Thinking of this, she thought of an excuse to convince the believers.

"Ah, you guys...I probably got disgusted by him, so."

Before she finished speaking, Ai Kurosawa was interrupted by one of the fanatics——

"Hate? Do you know what you're talking about? He doesn't hate anyone. He is noble, compassionate, magnanimous, and loving. He does great things that cannot be measured and wonders that cannot be counted!"*1

As a result, more believers began to respond enthusiastically——

"We must praise the sages, and everything that has breath must praise him to the fullest; we must praise the sages, and we must praise him when we cannot get it!" *3

"He carries our burdens every day, he is our salvation, the rock of our life, he is our future, he is the salvation of the soul, and he is a sage walking in the world!"*9

……

"We're going to love him as he loves us—!"*n

Like a choir in a church, there was a sudden wave of love and praise for Him.The sound came from the inside to the outside, from the outside to the inside... It seemed that they were full of people outside the warehouse.

The call of love appears and disappears through the walls, and it seems to be constantly echoing between the walls.

"Did you hear that, Aisang. Li Mu-kun is in love with us, and he treats you with love, but you don't treat him with love. In fact, it's you who failed his love."

The round face stepped on the catwalk, approaching Kurosawa step by step.

"Love? Limu...loves me? And I failed him?"

(—Crazy, crazy, what is she talking about?)

Kurosawa looked at her round face, felt her firm will, and felt her unswerving love...

(——No, she hypnotized herself, and even lost herself.)

(——That’s not right, maybe she really thinks so, that’s why she loves Rufengmo...)

The round face stands very close, and her smooth face is like a dinner plate, reflecting another "dinner plate" that is different from hers but has a very similar purpose.

The plates and utensils remember the same owner, and his name is Limu—an incredible and magical boy.

"Yes, among other things, do you think Li Mu-kun will panic when he hears about the kidnapping?

"The majestic head of the family, a generation of arrogance, who knows astronomy at the top and geography at the bottom, would he be afraid of a few kidnappers?

"He knew you had something to do with the kidnapping and he was thinking of you. He deliberately let you down on him just to keep you out of it. Your coming here tonight proves that you are indeed taking risks for him, which is exactly what he is worried about." .

"It's a pity that you don't love him enough, so you can't feel his love."

The round face and eyes reflected light like a magic crystal ball, and while repeatedly broadcasting a strong signal of love, he pressed Kurosawa Ai... just like that, forcing her to the warehouse door until she could retreat. (to be continued...)
