Chapter 71： Progress 2

A comic discussion group spontaneously established by a reader.

"So, what the **** is this? Xuedaiba is... dead?"

"Should not be! She is the heroine, how can I continue painting this work when the heroine is dead?"

"Did you forget? The Rurouni Kenshin Remembrance chapter is about to end? So the author ended this work by the way after he painted Xuedaiba...Does Shuixin teacher mean this?"

"Isn't it said that a new chapter will be opened after the end of the remembrance chapter? Xuedaiba has already made it clear that she is the heroine of this work. What did she draw in the new chapter when she died? Is it possible that Teacher Shuixin wants to draw a junior?

"Don't say it, this kind of plot is disgusting to think about, if Xuedaiba is really dead, the water heart will be black all the time, and I will never look at all his works in the future..."

"Do you think this is just the author's evil taste? Although Xuedaiba helped Jianxin block a sword from the front and was cut by Jianxin from the back in the last page of Chapter 13, maybe she was just injured. What? The author didn't make it clear that she was dead, right!"

"Upstairs, can you think about it? Rurouni Kenshin Remembrance, the strongest monster swordsman Kenshin, and the enemy who can fight him for a short time, so that the two masters' desperate blows all slashed at him. If Ba didn’t die on this ordinary woman... wouldn’t these two people become a joke?"

"The joke is just a joke, or it can be arranged in the same way as in the movie plot. The sword drawn as a frontal enemy is cut on jewelry, watches, etc., can the plot that blocked the injury be explained? "

"Anyway, the pen is in Shui Xin's hand, he can paint whatever he wants."

"Where is the sword on the opposite side of Jianxin?"

"Oh, why do you talk so much? Isn't it enough to wear a string of gold and silver jewelry behind your back? Anyway, I really can't accept it if Pakistan is dead..."

These people who discuss peacefully in the discussion group are still sane fans.

As for the irrational...

In front of the Cuttlefish Comics Club.

A group of fans gathered together, holding billboards.

strongly opposed Shui Xin's painting of Xuedaiba to death.

Shui Xin You are just a manga. What do you know about Rurouni Kenshin Remembrance?

If 　　 Xuedaiba dies, my fans of the movie will no longer buy the movie for ten years.

They didn't rush into the comics club, but the behavior of demonstrating at the door of the comics club caused a lot of discussion.

......

Soon, even on the official website of the Dragon Star Award contest, the fans of Los Angeles who bought the comic journals also spread the news that Xuedaiba was suspected of being drawn to death by the water heart to the comment area of ​​Rurouni Kenshin Remembrance.

One stone stirred up a thousand waves.

It’s still Friday, and it’s not until Saturday to watch the latest Rurouni Kenshin Remembrance on the Dragon Star Awards official website. Internet comic fans who heard this news also exploded.

They can only hear the story of a new story dictated by the fans in Los Angeles, but only the content of the dictation makes them feel refreshed.

was cut by Jianxin? Also cut a sword by the uncle who wanted to kill Jianxin?

How is this still alive?

After all, in the previous plot, Jianxin killed people cleanly, just like the killer Jianxin killed before Jianxin and Xuedaiba met for the first time.

From head to toe by Jianxin's sword...

If the plot is really like this, how does Xuedaiba live?

Below the comment area, regardless of whether Shui Xin reads the comment area or not, many fans post anyway.

Various requests to the author not to draw dead Xuedaiba.

There are still sprays.

and threatened that if Shui Xin drew Pakistan to death, he would use the identity information of family members and friends to register accounts for batch review.

...

The plot of Chapter 13 of Rurouni Kenshin Remembrance made many comic fans of this work feel depressed all day.

However, Chu Yu, who was taking classes leisurely at school, used his mobile phone to check the comments on the Internet during class, but he just glanced at it, and he just ignored it.

The current situation is basically the same as he predicted.

After all, this sentence is not only a coincidence, but the plot is too explosive.

The heroine Xuedaiba, who spent the entire remembrance chapter, died like this.

Unacceptable is normal psychology.

But... I still have to accept it in the end.

Chapter 13 just happened to leave a suspense. When the 14th and 15th chapters are serialized together next week, this suspense will also be broken.

...

After nearly three weeks of dissemination on the official website of the Dragon Star Awards, basically many net names who like to look for comics on this website already know of the entries for the Dragon Star Awards.

The most popular and most viewed work is the Fiery Feather of the cartoonist Zhang Yun from Qin Province.

And the readers rated the highest, and the best word-of-mouth work is the Rurouni Jianxin Remembrance by the Los Angeles cartoonist Shui Xin.

From the first day of the competition, among so many works, the one with the highest fan value has always been Blazing Feather.

Now the fan value has reached 980,000.

I have to say that this data is already quite exaggerated.

This means that nearly a million people pay to watch this comic on the Internet.

For Rurouni Kenshin Remembrance, the increase in fan value this week was due to the gradual fermentation of word-of-mouth. In the case of slowing down in most works, the increase in fan value actually went against the trend and the increase increased, This week’s more than 300,000 fan value has risen to 600,000 fan value this week, temporarily ranking fifth.

For a comic from Los Angeles, this is undoubtedly an explosive result.

1:1 midnight.

Rurouni Kenshin Remembrance Chapter 13 has finally been updated.

is more usual, because there is one day to spread the news of Xuedeba's suspected sacrifice on the Internet, and this work is attracting Internet passers-by fans all the time.

The number of people waiting for this remark has undoubtedly increased tremendously compared to the previous two weeks. ;

Among these people who are waiting late at night.

Zhang Yun, the author who naturally has a blazing feather.

After watching the plot of the latest episode...

He was stunned.

What is this operation?

How can anyone play like this?

You drew her to death in a popular character in the works. Don’t you know that this is a big poison in comics creation? The popularity of this work will definitely decline, and if fans are upset and maliciously give a low score to the work, are you not afraid that the comic score of this work will be lowered?

"Hahaha!" Zhang Yun's editor couldn't help laughing.

"Sure enough, I heard some of my friends in the comics industry in Los Angeles said that Shui Xin, the author of Rurouni Kenshin Remembrance, is just a young man."

"Sure enough, too young..." He shook his head.

"If you contact the announcement made by this work last week, the work will be completed within two weeks."

The editor raised his head and looked at Zhang Yun.

"Combining this information, what can you think of?"

Zhang Yun took a deep breath and said.

"Unfinished!"

"That's right." Zhang Yun's editor said.

"It's not surprising that a young man has a moment of inspiration in his mind. It is not surprising that he came up with a work with a particularly appealing plot in the early stage, but how can comics be so simple?"

"How many well-known cartoonists are unable to control the mid-to-late manga plots. After the unfinished end, their popularity plummets, and the fans accumulated over the years have been lost, and they have never recovered."

"As far as I know, Shui Xin is just a rookie cartoonist in Los Angeles, who has only risen in a few months. After drawing the first half of the classic Rurouni Kenshin Remembrance, the plot collapsed. No, it’s normal if you can’t finish it.”

"Now it seems that Shui Xin should have been aware of this a long time ago, so she hurriedly prepared to finish this work, and even directly painted the popular heroine to death in order to have a plot to watch the end. eyeball....."

"But this is useless, and the final result will only be counterproductive. Readers have sharp eyes. Look at it. As soon as the two episodes of this work are published next week, the accumulated reputation and high scores will collapse. ......"

The editor looks at Zhang Yun.

"Although the final result has not come out yet, I think we should be able to celebrate in advance..."

"This time the Dragon Star Awards, the only variable has been lost by myself, and the rest of the works are not to worry about, we won..."

...

Madu, the high-level of a certain community.

After Tang Xin watched the latest series of Rurouni Kenshin on the Internet.

I can’t calm down for a long time.

"Ba, it's dead..."

Unlike those pure comics, those people still doubt the life and death of Xuedaiba, but as an excellent cartoonist in the city, she can feel the context of this comic.

unfinished?

No, it's not right.

Tang Xin shook his head, there are usually signs of a bad ending.

Although the plot of this work is not long, from the beginning to the present, the foreshadowing is one link and one link.

At the beginning, the samurai Jianxin killed was Ba’s fiancé, Jianxin and Gui’s contact were traitors, and Ba approached Jianxin for revenge...

These things, if you don't have a clear idea at the beginning, it's impossible to draw with a brush.

But since it has been conceived clearly, that is to say, Ba’s death was arranged long ago, not a plot drawn by the author because the plot collapsed...

Xuedaiba has been shaped so well in the early stage, and he just drew it casually. Then readers will definitely not buy it, and it will definitely be a bad comment by then.

But if this kind of sentiment can be dealt with well... it must be a plot that can earn the tears of fans and make people feel moved.

Tang Xin sat in deep thought for a long time. She was thinking about how, if she was Shui Xin, how could such a plot be recognized by fans.

In the end, she gave up and couldn't think of it at all. Anyway, Xuedaiba was so well-shaped. Even if it was to save Jianxin's death, everyone would not be willing to accept the death of such a person.

Although the ending of 　　 Family Fun is clichéd, why everyone loves to use it, that is, there is no risk in such an ending. Although it is unavoidable to make a complaint, you can accept it immediately after you spit it out.

But if you have to engage in some strange plots, such as letting a popular heroine like Pakistan die...

That is dancing on the tip of a knife. If it is not handled well, this work will immediately fall apart.

Tang Xin sighed.

I hope Shui Xin can solve this problem with the plot of the last two episodes.

She is a fan of this work very early, she really does not want this work to end up cursed by individuals in the end.

......

Accompanied by various rhythms, Rurouni Kenshin Remembrance finally ushered in a new week.

Two days before the end of the first round of the Dragon Star Award.

This day, Friday, is the day when the fourteenth and fifteenth chapters of Rurouni Kenshin Remembrance were published and ended.

Cuttlefish Comics Club has long been prepared to promote it in the whole province of Los Angeles.

streets and alleys, bus advertising spaces, bookstore posters, subways, underground passage advertising spaces, all carry out publicity.

He Jin walked into the bookstore, and at a glance, he saw a poster about Rurouni Kenshin Remembrance posted in the bookstore.

In the past few weeks, because of the publication of this comic, the sales volume of Man Ying has continued to increase. In many cases, if it is late to buy, this journal will basically be sold out.

But fortunately, it was early to come in. At this time, the office workers had not finished get off work and the students had not finished school.

The inventory in the bookstore has not yet reached the point where it is sold out.

But in front of the counter of the bookstore that He Jin entered, there was already a long line. In this line, there were five or six out of ten, and the books and magazines in his hand that were ready to be paid were all shadows.

When He Jin returned home, he couldn't wait to open the cover and turned the page directly to the serial part of Rurouni Kenshin Remembrance.

Comics are not sold off.

In just a few pages, he explained the final outcome of Xuedaiba.

Xuedaiba, who suffered heavy injuries before and after, cut a scar on Jian Xin's face with a knife before she died, and crossed the scar left on Jian Xin's face by her fiance before his death, forming a cross.

As she died, she just smiled and said while looking at Kenshin.

I'm sorry...husband.

He Jin suddenly seemed to understand the meaning of this injury.

The first injury was left by Xuedaiba's fiancé, representing Jianxin's hatred for taking his life.

The second injury was left by Xuedaiba before his death, representing forgiveness and redemption.

just fits the title of this section, the cross wound.

All of a sudden, He Jin's tears flowed up, and his nose was a little sour.

But fortunately, being an adult, I still control myself.

So, it has been confirmed that Xuedaiba is really dead...

In the past week, He Jin has also posted many comments on the Internet. If Shui Xin drew Xuedaiba to death, what would happen to him.

But at this moment, he can no longer remember those things, but his emotions have been completely brought into the comics.

People who love anime are often very emotional and will be easily moved by these plots. Now, He Jin is in such a state.

Ba's death was drawn in just a few pages, and He Jin continued to read page after page of comics.

But inexplicably, he was a little irritable.

The following plot seems to look a little boring after Ba's death.

Under the call of Katsura, Kenshin burned Ba's body together with the house where the two lived and returned to Kyoto.

Kenshin seems to have not changed much from before Chapter 15 is the end of this work, but the plot of the whole episode is about the battle between Kenshin and the enemy.

Although the battle screen is very exciting and the storyboard is also breathtaking, it is clear that such content is not what He Jin wants to see.

is not the ending of the Rurouni Kenshin Remembrance chapter.

But he still patiently prepared to finish watching.

After all, I went to the Internet to start the spray before I finished reading it, and some of it did not meet the process.

Finally, the plot of Chapter 15 is at the end.

After the battle, Kenshin sat down to rest with a tired face.

Jianxin with his eyes closed is like an ordinary boy at the moment.

From behind him, a person hugged him.

On the next page of comics, the picture is zoomed out, and Xuedaiba gently embraces him from behind.

The background of the screen is dim, and Xuedaiba dressed in white embraces Jian Xin who seems to be asleep sitting on the ground.

At this moment, Jian Xin's expression is so peaceful...

He Jin's hand shook.

My heart trembled.

Something seems to touch the heart.

Obviously, Xuedaiba hugging Jianxin is just a symbolic expression.

This scene represents that even though she died, she gave Jian Xin the spiritual strength, but she still guarded Jian Xin, allowing Jian Xin to go on alone from now on.

Is this the end?

Is this the meaning of Xuedaiba's sacrifice?

If the scene where Xuedaiba died before, He Jin could still bear it, but when the scene came out, He Jin really couldn't help it.

tears burst into my eyes...

(The two chapters are updated together again.)
