Chapter 55 The Light of Darkness(1/2)
At night, the second floor of Dongye Grocery Store was filled with lights like beans.
"Mr. Keigo, I seem to have thought of a good ending."
"It's about "d,n"?"
"That's right."
"Wait a minute, this book seems to have just begun, why did you think of the ending?"
"Isn't it possible? I remember that there is a way to write a mystery novel, which is to deduce it from the end, that is, first there is the result of the entire reasoning, and then write this reasoning process."
"This is right, but will you be too anxious?"
"Come on, you keep making sulfur."
"What should I do?"
"Be a bystander."
"ha?"
The manuscript paper and pen are all ready.
What Kokoshi Higashino and Mr. Keigo talked about was very interesting.
What will the novel "d,n" look like?
Mr. Keigo is very much looking forward to it.
Koto Higashino was not in a hurry to write, "Mr. Keigo, do you know? You have a work that I like very much."
"Ah? What is it? Tell me about it now." It's the part that Mr. Guiwu likes the most.
Listen to the novels I have written.
Well, that's all the works written by a famous writer named Keigo Higashino in another time and space.
But at the moment, Mr. Keigo feels contented.
They all wrote it myself, and it's no different.
And, there is a huge advantage.
I didn't start writing at all, and I just didn't have that much effort, but I could know what my novel looked like. Isn't that good?
So, which work is Higashino Kokage to talk about tonight?
"Malice, this is one of your works that I really like."
"Wow, I feel very awesome when I hear the name." Mr. Keigo's face was full of excitement.
One person and one ghost, this situation is so strange.
Koto Higashino didn't care, and he continued: "Malice is your masterpiece after Detective Code, and this book, in my opinion, may be the novel you pay the most attention to technique."
"Oh, really? Haha..." Mr. Keigo's eyes widened.
"What is the so-called technique? You are against the routine and use the 'I' in traditional novels, that is, the protagonist, and you are in reverse narrative. Can you understand if I say so?"
"Saikyo, what do you mean, I started with the villain in the novel?"
"Mr. Keigo, you are really smart."
"Ahhh! This is originally a novel I wrote."
It’s true that Mr. Keigo is worthy of being an incomplete resentful spirit of a famous writer. He can actually deduce one or two of his works.
Koto Higashino smiled and continued, "Mr. Keigo, do you know what kind of comic "d,n" is?"
"This..." Mr. Keigo was inexplicably shocked, "Is it possible?"
"Yes, this comic is actually a standard anti-routine. The male protagonist Yejitsuki is himself the ultimate boss of this comic."
"Si Guoyi! The authors can actually do this."
"But, Mr. Keigo, have you ever thought about it? If you keep writing this routine, what would Ye Shenyue look like?"
"This... since he is the boss, he should be evil, so he should... wait a moment! saikyo! You want to tell me that this comic was actually a movie that supports the destruction, right?"
"Mr. Keigo, you are so smart." Higashino nodded at this time, "A person who has obtained the power to be sentenced to death is becoming more and more evil, and is increasingly controlled by this power. Even the entire character of Ye Shenyue is to continue to break through the lower limit of his personality as the plot! He uses the people who love him and his relatives to kill the people who support him mercilessly, and eventually..."
Before Kotoshi Higashino finished speaking, Mr. Keigo continued: "He definitely won't win!"
Kokushi Higashino nodded silently, "In the end, he was killed like garbage."
Mr. Keigo was shocked. He looked at Higashino Kok and the resentful spirit saw something, "Why? Why do you need this? And, this name, this is wrong!"
Why did Mr. Keigo mention this name?
And, so insisting that ‘this is wrong’?
In fact, this character has a lot to do with this name.
Ye Shenyue, the name itself is problematic.
This comic was later released in the American movie version. There were fake fans who wrote articles to complain, but the name of the male protagonist was simply irrelevant.
The male protagonist in an American movie is called ‘light’.
But in fact, this name is fine, and the American version is not very good, but anyone who complains about this must be a fake fan.
In Japanese, the moon will not emit the sound of light, and there is no relationship at all.
However, in this comic, as well as later animations, especially in the movie version.
This month the hero has been making the sound of light.
Night God Moon, Kana, ㄌみライト.
What do you read?
yagami-light.
Those who are familiar with Kof will understand immediately.
Isn't yagami?
This is the Japanese slightest point, and there is also a moon behind Yagami.
The work "d,n" left a deep impression on Kokoshi Higashino, so he also knew a little about the name of the male protagonist Ye Shenyue.
The name light, or the pronunciation is determined by the author.
Ye Shen was decided by the editor of "jump".
The Night God Moon should mean "the light of the dark night".
This comic...
"It must be done! Who would want to see such a protagonist? Constantly breaking through the lower limit, such a guy will make readers tired of him, even a supporting role or villain!"
Mr. Keigo made a reason directly.
Kokushi Higashino nodded, "This work originally had the potential of a masterpiece, but as the plot progressed, Ye Shenyue gradually became a complete scumbag. So she collapsed. Although it caused a considerable trend, there were also many criticisms, and it was fine to say that the whole work was unfinished."
"..." Mr. Keigo didn't know what to say. He saw that there was a deep disappointment on Higashino's face.
Kokoshi Higashino continued: "I don't know the truth, but just speculating from this name, it can be seen that the author Dachang really wants to write about some positive or human brilliance.
Unfortunately, he failed to succeed in the end. Maybe he didn't write it out, or maybe he was driven by the entire environment. Readers' feedback, various comments, and all kinds of things that I couldn't understand.
I'm not sure, I can only think of this.
So, the Night God just became the Night God without shining with no brilliance.”
"So that's how it is." Mr. Keigo suddenly realized, "Do you want to save Ye Shenyue?"
Koto Higashino smiled strangely, "I just want this character to shine."
In fact, Kotoshi Higashino didn't finish his words.
The Night God Moon should have shined.
It’s like from the beginning, why did the author Dachang insist on giving such a name?
Light and moon are really irrelevant in Japanese.
"It also shows our will, right." Mr. Keigo was already very fascinated by this incident. "So, how can we shine?"
Koto Higashino smiled and said, "The test questions are coming, Mr. Keigo, your "Malicious Intention" and the inspiration given to me by Teacher Okawa..."
"Wait a minute, do you say Dakawa? What inspiration did he give you?" Mr. Keigo noticed this detail.
"Haha..." Higashino Kosuke laughed, "Mr. Keigo, guess."
Mr. Keigo showed anger. It was too difficult, but he immediately made a gesture to stop.
"Son, I'm not asleep yet."
"Mom? Why are you here?"
"Send you some late-night snacks."
"Eat too much and you will gain weight."
