Chapter 254: The End of the Story
"Hey, Sakura."
Ren saw Sakura appear, waved his hand, and said with a smile.
Sakura was infuriated to see Ren laugh.
It's all Ren's fault... After seeing the recent plot of Aki Hayakawa, she was about to get depressed.
However, Sakura did not intend to blame Ren for coming this time. After all, this is Ren's manga.
And she is not the type of person who would vent her anger on Ren for a virtual character.
In particular, the relationship between Sakura and Ren is quite close.
And this time she came, although it was also related to the plot of Chainsaw Man that Ren recently drew, it was not out of anger.
"Ren, your account has been attacked," Sakura told Ren sadly.
"My account? Which of mine?" asked Ren, blinking.
Speaking of attacks, naturally, it would be his official account that would be publicly displayed, not his private account.
In fact, he used to use his official accounts, like the one on B Station, to watch interesting videos, but he didn't read private messages.
After all, the private messages were saturated, and clicking on them, he would see an explosion of information.
So it doesn't matter if he checks them or not, after all, it's just an explosion of information.
His official accounts are none other than his Twitter account, his Weibo account, the official account on the Akatsuki website, and the one on B Station.
"Of course it's your account that has a certification mark on our website."
Sakura was a little speechless and said, "Your video has received a lot of negative comments in the last two days."
"Well, that's okay."
Ren smiled and said it didn't matter, "It's just to vent."
"But everyone called you sick..." said Sakura, a little indignant. "This kind of personal attack should be punished."
"It's okay."
Ren scratched his head and said, "In fact, everyone really likes the work Chainsaw Man, so they rushed to my account. Just follow the usual rules of B Station, there's no need to do anything...".
Sakura thought about it, it seemed logical, and said, "Alright... But this is a lot of work."
"So, why don't we implement a comment selection feature?".
Ren thought about it, took out the comment filtering mechanism from the main platforms of his previous life, and said.
While selective comments are often criticized, it must be said that they do, in fact, benefit the bloggers themselves.
But the comment selection mechanism cannot be activated lightly.
This mechanism should only be activated when the situation worsens and it is clear that public opinion is contrary to the truth.
It shouldn't simply become a tool to control comments.
"This function is not difficult to implement," Ren said with a smile. "Let everyone work a little more."
"Alright."
Sakura thought about it and nodded.
"But Ren, what will happen to Chainsaw Man?" she asked again. She always behaved very calmly, but now she bit her lip and said, "Makima... Makima will be conquered later, right?".
After reading the last few episodes, she also hated the character of Makima to the extreme.
There is no fan of Chainsaw Man who cannot hate this evil woman who caused all the tragedies.
The tragedy between Himeno and Aki Hayakawa, Reze's death, the lie of the supposed crusade against the Gun Devil, and the tragedy that led Denji to kill Aki Hayakawa himself...
All of this is Makima's fault. Makima's behavior... is unforgivable! "Don't worry."
Ren gave a thumbs up as always and said, "The next thing... well, the time for judgment will soon come!".
Sakura felt slightly satisfied.
"By the way, are you staying for dinner tonight?" asked Ren.
"Tonight...?" asked Sakura.
"Yes, I asked Ayumi to come for dinner, and you happened to be here too."
Ren said, "Then let's all stay for a simple meal, I'm going to buy food!".
"Well... okay."
Sakura was a little less busy, and B Station was already on the right track.
The team was already formed, and the rest was to rely on time to get users and wait for the opportunity... to go public to get financing.
So Sakura agreed to come to dinner this time, and she did have time.
...
Yusuke Sato had just finished watching Chainsaw Man at that moment, and even he couldn't help but cry for Aki Hayakawa.
And seeing the popularity of Chainsaw Man this time... he couldn't help but marvel.
This time he remembered again the fear of being dominated by Ren's work.
In fact... Ren surpassed him again.
The most important thing is that Ren not only surpassed him and his The Gods, but also reached the top of the list.
His popularity reached its peak...
During the usual serialization of Purple Air Coming from the East, no manga had achieved this.
Purple Air Coming from the East has accumulated countless fans and popularity after many years of serialization.
That's why it's difficult for other mangakas to surpass Purple Air Coming from the East and reach the peak of popularity, but Chainsaw Man did it.
And it did it in a way that no one questioned.
Even the fans of Purple Air Coming from the East must admit that the recent plot of Chainsaw Man is directly related to the gods.
The plot structure, character creation, line design, and editing are the most famous scenes in the manga over the years.
"Is this the big move you've been preparing for so long?"
Yusuke Sato took a deep breath and said, "Since the character of Aki Hayakawa debuted, a lot of space has been used to create such a perfect character, and finally let him die in such a carefully designed plot... Really, even I have to admit that I'm not as good as him."
"Of course... we still have to give a lot of importance to a popular character, so that his tragic end moves people."
He decided and said, "So the next third of the plot must be broader than the previous two!".
"What Ren did, we can do too!" said Yusuke Sato.
On the other hand, Fenghuangyuan, whose work Purple Air Coming from the East was surpassed by Chainsaw Man, also knew about it.
He was with his editor and assistant at that moment and heard the editor talk about it.
"It's true that every generation has talent."
Fenghuangyuan sighed and said with a smile, "Only in this way can the manga industry produce more excellent stories."
"Sensei, aren't you angry?" his assistant asked with curiosity.
"There's nothing to be angry about. My old master, Mr. Liao Shanming, once said that the appearance of good works in the manga industry is a good thing for everyone."
Fenghuangyuan said with a look of longing, "At first, the general prejudice against manga was that they weren't as good as novels, television, and movies, and that they also damaged the brain."
"It was the master who cleared up the doubts with his works and created a new era in which both adults and children love to read manga."
"The current boom in manga is due to the continuous appearance of excellent works, which has boosted the flourishing of this industry. Thanks to my master, I am who I am today, and now there are better stories that surpass me, so the manga industry will undoubtedly prosper in the future. I'm looking forward to being happy!"
At that moment, Fenghuangyuan smiled and said, "To be honest, I really want to meet this young man and talk to him about the development of manga."
"This year's newcomer awards ceremony will be held soon."
The editor immediately added, "Then, Mr. Fenghuangyuan will be able to talk to Amamiya-sensei there."
"It's really exciting."
Fenghuangyuan nodded and added, "Not only the author of Chainsaw Man, but also the author of The Gods is good material...".
The recent plot of Chainsaw Man is sensational, which has once again made the names of Chainsaw Man and Ren go viral.
This year, the development of the internet has accelerated again.
The number of internet users has increased, and the interesting forms of interaction on the internet have begun to develop in a strange way.
This strange way is naturally abstract and plays with memes.
Chainsaw Man happens to have several very interesting memes. The memes of "But it's obviously the smell of autumn outside" and "Snowball fight" in this plot have contributed even more to the trend of Chainsaw Man and Ren breaking the circle.
Some even made fun of the memes of other works.
For example, Ren's other work, Fire Punch.
After finishing work on Thursday and leaving work, Yuka was still in a very bad mood.
Since she saw the plot of Aki Hayakawa's death in Chainsaw Man over the weekend, she felt that she had been very depressed.
"This won't work. Let's watch some funny videos to improve our mood," she muttered to herself.
So Yuka clicked on B Station.
As someone who was initially attracted by the Edgerunners animation, she has now become a loyal user of B Station.
Accustomed to the bombardment mode of B Station, she now feels that videos without bombardment are simply impossible to watch.
Now, Yuka feels that the bombardment is more interesting when she watches a news interview.
She opened B Station habitually and then saw a video titled "But the smell of autumn is clearly perceived on the other side of the door" in her personalized recommended videos.
Seeing this sentence, Yuka felt a sharp pain in her heart.
Even so, she clicked on the video, which was a dynamic manga.
Under that strange background music, Denji opened the door and, once again, Yuka saw Aki Hayakawa, who had become a gun fiend.
"Wuwuwuwu!"
Although Yuka saw this scene for the third time, she couldn't hold back her tears.
Seeing Power say, "But the smell of autumn is clearly outside the door," she felt a pang of emotion.
After watching this video, Yuka saw the following videos with similar titles, one of which said, "But the smell outside the door is obviously from Luna."
She had also seen Fire Punch and then clicked on the video to take a look.
It was, indeed, a storyboard animation like Chainsaw Man, but the characters' faces had changed, from Denji and Aki Hayakawa to Agni and Yoda.
Hearing Agni say, "But the smell outside the door is obviously from Luna," Yuka couldn't help but feel a little strange and, suddenly, burst out laughing.
Suddenly, she felt much more refreshed.
Then she saw the parody video of The Gods, also titled, "But the smell outside the door is obviously from Xia Mi."
Then Chu Zihan opened the door and saw Xia Mi in the form of Xiaolongnu.
"Hahahaha..."
Yuka couldn't help but laugh, clutching her stomach.
This calmed her down a bit. After watching similar videos, she dared to open Penguin and chat with the Chainsaw Man fan group.
The group was also very lively, and everyone was discussing the plot that had been discussed lately.
Miss Makima's dog: "To be honest, Denji shouldn't know that Aki Hayakawa was hurt by Makima, right?".
The devil of Hades: "After all, Denji doesn't have a god's perspective, and he didn't see the scene where Makima controlled Aki Hayakawa to sign the contract."
Psychiatric patient No. 007: "Ah, it seems true! Denji shouldn't be fooled by bad women!".
The old rogue Ren is the devil: "Denji's brain... I feel that if Makima doesn't want to be exposed, Denji will never know that it was Makima who did it."
Seeing this, Yuka couldn't bear it.
Jie Ge: "Then, public safety, like Kishibe, should inform Denji. Won't public safety go to war against Makima?".
The god of pollution is not a martial god: "It's difficult, it seems that Kishibe and public safety have already tacitly accepted Makima's behavior."
Yuka thought it wouldn't happen, but just as she was about to write a rebuttal, a group member named "I've always liked Reze" appeared and said, "Shit! The true identity of the old rogue Ren has been discovered!".
This immediately attracted the attention of the group members.
However...
Psychopath 007: "Hasn't the old rogue Ren always used his real name to browse the internet? His real name is Ren Amamiya."
However, "I've always liked Reze" said, "No, not this, it's his previous identity and name!".
Then he posted some photos.
Yuka, with curiosity, clicked on the photos and saw that the first was a post titled "It seems the old rogue Ren was my old classmate."
The mentioned user shared several pieces of evidence, including his high school photo.
The second was a news article titled "The youngest doctor in computer science and applied physics in the Republic! Artificial intelligence projects could mark the beginning of new advances." The photo was exactly the same as Ren's in Reuters.
However, the most shocking was the third.
The photo was also a news article, but it was about a murder case in which a man with a master's degree killed his parents with a homemade gun.
I will always like Reze: "Shit! They say the man who killed his parents is the younger brother of the old rogue Ren. The old rogue Ren's original name is Kaito Sato, and he is our youngest doctor in computer science and applied physics!".
I will always like Reze: "But it was because of this incident at home that he went crazy later! It turned out that that was the reason he drew such a crazy plot."
