Started as a comics editor

Chapter 12 What the hell is this unfolding!

While Li Xue was thinking about how to persuade Tang Yao later, she took out the manuscript.

The comics in the file bag have no covers.

The first page is the beginning of the comic.

Li Xue looked down at the first page with a scrutinizing gaze.

‘Knock knock knock. ’

Someone is knocking on the window.

On the drawing paper, a girl was curled up in the corner of the room, shivering.

She was covered in cold sweat and her face was full of fear. It was just an ordinary knock on the window, but it was as if she heard some kind of death signal.

In the next scene, the girl hugged her knees and leaned on the table. There was a sound outside the window again. This time it was not a knock on the window, but a voice exactly the same as the girl's, which seemed to be urging and beckoning: "Come out quickly, open the window quickly, Hezi, come out and eat something, otherwise you will starve to death."

The girl named Kazuko listened to the knocking sounds and calling sounds coming from outside the window, hiding tiredly beside the desk and feeling numb.

Because this situation has been going on for a week... She has been locking herself at home for almost a week.

Everything edible was eaten.

Kazuko didn't know what was outside, she just hoped that if this was a nightmare, she could wake up quickly.

……

Li Xue was a little surprised after reading the first page.

Because surprisingly, this is not something that can be drawn at an amateur level... Although she is in charge of girls' comics, it does not mean that she is not interested in other types of comics.

On the contrary, she is very interested and has a strong appreciation for it.

As for the comic in her hand, just looking at the first page, there is no doubt that the quality is very high. Not to mention the plot, the drawing skills are very good!
What surprised her the most was that Tang Yao's paintings were not the most popular cute style in the industry, which she was most familiar with.

Instead, it adopts a very bold realistic style. The characters' faces, hair, expressions, movements, and postures are all depicted in detail. Their upright and peaceful facial features make people feel that the characters in the comics are normal human beings.

This is not easy to draw. Why do you draw in this style? You are so cute.

And the voice is exactly the same as mine...Is it a fantasy theme?

Is it so bold? How will this short story unfold?

Li Xue looked up at Tang Yao with many doubts.

Tang Yao blinked at her.

Li Xue could only suppress her doubts temporarily and continue to turn to the next page.

Next page.

The plot continues.

The girl named Kazuko was lost in her memories.

Why did she fall into this strange situation? It all started a month ago, with the death of a female star...

A female star named Huimei committed suicide by hanging herself in her apartment, but her death was very strange. She was hanging outside the second-floor window, and the rope around her neck was entangled with the electric wire. It seemed that she had climbed out of the window of the room to commit suicide.

Due to the weight of her body and the fact that her feet were hanging in the air when she was hanging, when the ropes and wires were untied, the actress's neck seemed to be detached from her body and about to be torn off.

The death was extremely miserable.

This incident caused a huge response, and media reporters, movie fans, and people who were just waiting to see what was going on gathered under the apartment, wanting to find out what was going on.

Kazuko was very sad about this because she and the female star were classmates and good friends.

But she didn't know why the other person committed suicide.

It didn't take long.

The female star's family held a large memorial service for her, and many fans flocked to the event.

Kazuko also attended.

After leaving the memorial service, Kazuko and a few friends were walking on the street and met Shiraishi, a classmate from the same school.

He is the female star's boyfriend and seems to have come to attend the memorial service, but was stopped by Huimei's fanatical fans and was being beaten.

Because fans think that he is the biggest suspect in the death of female star Huimei.

When Kazuko saw this, she rushed forward and threatened to call the police. The group of people who claimed to be fans left in anger. Then Kazuko wanted to comfort Shiraishi, but in this depressed atmosphere... Shiraishi blamed himself and thought that the female star committed suicide, perhaps it was caused by him. He did not respond, but just cried sadly, and then walked away.

"..."

The female star died.

The fans did not accept it, and her boyfriend became the target of their anger.

Is this related to the sound outside the window?

Li Xue saw this and stopped turning the pages. She suddenly realized something was wrong, because this didn't seem like a fantasy story...

Moreover, Tang Yao did not avoid the scene of hanging and directly drew it.

Something is wrong, very wrong.

However, this time, Li Xue did not look at Tang Yao. Instead, after hesitating for a moment, she turned to the next page and continued reading. Although something was not right, she was very interested in the next plot development.

In comics.

The plot continues.

After the death of female star Huimei, many young people followed her lead and committed suicide by hanging. There was even a mass suicide incident among fans.

Not only that, rumors about the appearance of the female star's ghost also began to spread... The reporter interviewed several people who claimed to have seen the female star's ghost. They all claimed that about a week ago at around 12 o'clock in the evening, they saw a huge face floating in the sky on top of a big tree, and then it floated to the north and disappeared.

In the eyes of experts, such supernatural events are nothing more than illusions created by unstable mental states, so they do not take it seriously.

But not long after, a strange and creepy photo taken by an eyewitness was released on TV - the huge head of a female star was floating high in the air.

When Li Xue saw the huge human head floating in the air on the drawing paper, she was stunned, her fingers stiffened slightly, and her heart skipped a beat.

The entire comic's graphics are very clean and refined, with hand-painted backgrounds and a realistic style, as if constantly emphasizing that the comic's world is a perfectly normal place.

Because of this realistic style, coupled with unpleasant scenes such as female stars committing suicide and fans following them in suicide, the beginning of the comic always gives her a gloomy feeling, and when reading it, people feel as if a storm is about to come.

This is also the reason why Li Xue felt something was wrong.

And now... something is even more wrong!

No way……?
Will not.

Tang Yao is so cute, how could she draw weird cartoons?

Ok.

Li Xue hesitated for a moment, barely convinced herself, and turned to the next page again.

The topic of the female celebrity's head floating in the air also caused a sensation in the school, but most people expressed disbelief, saying that it must be a composite photo.

Kazuko didn't believe it either.

At school, she once again met the female star's boyfriend Shiraishi. She felt that Shiraishi would not believe such a ridiculous thing.

But unexpectedly, Bai Shi believed it, and even said that the female star's head would often float to his yard, and kept looking at him with those lifeless eyes, as if calling him.

Of course, Kazuko didn't believe this and thought that Shiraishi was hallucinating because he was too tired.

Bai Shi didn't explain, but just said coldly, "Come to my house next time and you'll know," and then turned and left.

That night, Kazuko received a call from Shiraishi... Shiraishi said that the female star's balloon had appeared and was floating towards the north, and asked her to come over quickly to see it.

Kazuko hesitated for a moment, but eventually sneaked out of the house.

Then, she found the female star's head in the woods...

The female star's huge head really floated in the dim night sky... like a balloon, and under the huge inflated head, there was a rope tied, just like those ordinary balloons tied with colorful strings.

Kazuko watched the scene in horror, then subconsciously chased after him.

She ran into the forest after the human head balloon, and then she saw the female star's boyfriend Shiraishi on a tree, yelling at the human head balloon floating in the sky, begging the female star to forgive him and stop looking at him with such a dead look.

At the same time, perhaps because it heard the call or for some other reason, the female star's head balloon began to approach Shiraishi little by little.

Then, Kazuko discovered that what was tied under the female star's head was not a colorful string at all, but a hanging rope with a loop!

As the balloon with the female star's head approached, the hanging rope also swayed forward, as if waiting for Bai Shi to put his neck in.

Kazuko was terrified and wanted to remind her, but it was too late. Shiraishi, who was excitedly begging the female star to forgive him, hugged the tree trunk, leaned forward, and unconsciously stuck his head out, and then... his head fell into the rope loop.

Next scene.

Bai Shi's feet left the tree, and his neck was directly put into the rope loop. He didn't struggle at all... and didn't move.

When Kazuko witnessed this scene, she screamed in horror and turned around to look for help, but suddenly she found that Shiraishi's body was flying... The whole person was hanging by a rope, floating in the air, and at the top of the rope... another human head balloon slowly floated up.

For an instant.

A huge fear exploded in Kazuko's heart!
Because that balloon looks exactly like Shiraishi's face!
Another human head balloon appeared in the sky!
And immediately after.

In the dizzy woods.

Under the dark cloudy sky.

Two balloon heads, who were lovers in life, slowly approached each other, and then... with dead eyes, their lips slowly touched.

And underneath the balloon with Shiraishi's head, his headless body was tied to a rope, floating in the wind like a puppet...

When Kazuko saw this strange scene, she broke down and screamed.

! ! ! ! !

When Li Xue saw this, she pinched the manuscript, which was roughly half-turned, with her right fingertips and collapsed!
Head!

balloon!

kiss!

What the hell is this unfolding! What the hell is this unfolding! What the hell is this unfolding!!!

Is this a picture that a human could come up with?!
