Chapter 272: Good Start (Original)
The first episode of Parasyte is also excellent.
Or it can be said that it follows the explosive style of Lin Qingshan's comics as always, with a creepy scene of a humanoid monster devouring humans.
Then there is what happened to the hero, Shinichi. His right hand seems to have changed. Not only does he have powerful strength, but he also has independent self-awareness...
That is a powerful force that can stop a high-speed car with bare hands, which makes many middle school comic fans excited.
The first episode of Parasyte also caused heated discussions among these comic fans, and they began to discuss the subsequent plot.
"Wow, so cool! I want a right hand like this too!"
"The protagonist's right hand is occupied by that parasite, right? It seems that the setting of Aoyama's new comic is that this parasite will parasitize the human body."
"This parasite feels the same as the trematode. Its main purpose is to parasitize the host's brain and dominate the entire body."
"So the host's brain is the target of these parasites, and once the brain is successfully parasitized, it will become a so-called parasitic monster."
"The opening is a thunderbolt. At the beginning, the plot of "Parasyte" really scared me. It continues Aoyama's usual style and is full of blood!"
"Only The male protagonist is really lucky. He just happened to sleep with headphones and listen to music, so his brain was not successfully parasitized. "
"Who listens to music to sleep? ! Can you really fall asleep like this?"
"Sometimes when I have insomnia, I will listen to some soothing music to sleep, so this is actually okay."
"I understand, I will sleep with headphones in the future!"
"This time the male protagonist actually has both parents? This surprised me a little..."
"David, Agni, and Denci think it's great!"
...
"Parasyte... Is it a man-eating monster that parasitizes the human brain?"
Yang Shuzhun is also closely following Lin Qingshan's new work "Parasyte". After reading it, he said.
"It feels similar to the beginning of "Chainsaw Man", but it doesn't let the male protagonist face a big battle at the beginning like "Chainsaw Man".
Tang Wei, an assistant at the side, also commented at this time.
Indeed, the beginnings of "Chainsaw Man" and "Parasyte" are slightly similar. Both start to throw out the settings in the first episode and shape the character of the male protagonist.
However, the hero of "Parasyte", Shinichi, is obviously not as miserable as Denji, and his personality is relatively closer to ordinary people, and he seems a little cowardly.
Like the hero of Yang Shuzhun's "God Clan", his personality is slightly ordinary, and he even seems a little more timid than Shuaizi.
But one thing that is better than Shuaizi is that Shinichi has friends, one of whom is a beautiful female classmate with good looks.
And Shinichi's parents are also alive, and he doesn't start as an orphan, nor does he disappear.
This is a big win over Shuaizi.
Speaking of which, among Lin Qingshan's current four comics, the hero of the first three "Edgewalker", "Flame Fist" and "Chainsaw Man" are all orphans.
The hero of "Flame Fist" Agni and the hero of "Chainsaw Man" Denji are both orphans from the beginning. One depends on his sister, and the other is even more miserable and can only depend on the devil dog Pochita.
And the hero of "Edgewalker" David is from a single-parent family. It seems that he is much better than Agni and Denji, right?
But David's mother Gloria died in less than five chapters...
It's a joke from hell.
But look at the protagonist of "Parasyte", Shinichi, who has both parents and is very concerned about him.
Such a protagonist is a normal person who can't be more ordinary.
"The beginning of his comics is very good."
Yang Shuzhun responded lightly, "I just don't know what will happen later. I hope he won't run away again this time."
He was actually a little dissatisfied with Lin Qingshan's suspension of "Chainsaw Man" and the start of a new comic series.
If this is the case, even if his third part of "God Clan" is exciting, it is not fair to win over Lin Qingshan's new work.
After all, the popularity of "God Clan" has always been accumulated by long-term fans.
Compared with "Parasyte", the advantage is too great.
Although "Parasyte" is Lin Qingshan's new work, Lin Qingshan can definitely rely on his fame to attract popularity for "Parasyte".
But "Parasyte" and "Chainsaw Man" are two works after all.
Fans who like "Chainsaw Man" may not necessarily like "Parasyte", even though they are both drawn by the same cartoonist.
But after all, the plots, settings, and themes are all different.
Just like "Edgewalker" and "Chainsaw Man", although both were drawn by Lin Qingshan, some of the comic fans who watched "Edgewalker" at the beginning have indeed lost interest in "Chainsaw Man" because of Lin Qingshan's reputation.
For example, Zhou Wenwei's original science fiction fan group chat, at the beginning, everyone in the group liked and discussed "Edgewalker".
But later, no one discussed "Chainsaw Man".
The main reason is that the audience is different.
The same is true for "Parasyte", which may not inherit all the fans of "Chainsaw Man".
So even if "Protoss" later performed better than "Parasyte", Yang Shuzhun felt that it was unworthy of the name and that it was not won by right.
Facing Yang Shuzhun's dissatisfied tone, Tang Wei shrank a little and dared not speak.
...
After reading "Parasyte", Zhou Wenwei read other works in the comic magazine.
Only at this time did he look at the "Uzumaki" comic book volume he had just bought together with the Manjie magazine.
"Thriller-themed comics?"
Zhou Wenwei was suddenly full of curiosity and said, "I want to see what Qingshan's comic is like?"
As he spoke, he opened the single volume of the "Whirlpool" comic and began to read it carefully.
The strange events that happened in Black Vortex Town in the first episode, Shuichi’s father’s weird and fanatical love for whirlpools, even the man who rolled his eyes feverishly for whirlpools in the middle, and the last...
He twisted his body into a whirlpool and lay down in the barrel. His bones were broken and he died...
The weirdness of the various plots in the first episode and the extremely impactful distorted images already made Zhou Wenwei's hair stand on end.
This made him afraid to continue reading.
But……
"I bought them all, and it's just this comic."
Zhou Wenwei's pride caused him to continue reading the second chapter.
Above the crematorium, black smoke from the burning body of Shuichi's father was seen rising from the chimney, forming a huge black vortex in the sky.
And not only that...
"Look...the front end of the smoke is gradually coming down!"
The villagers shouted in horror, "Gradually descending... landed in that pool... yes! That's the dragonfly pool!"
"That pool is right in the center of the town..."
"Why is this so?"
Tonge listened to the discussions of the villagers next to her. She stared at the black smoke floating down. It was obvious that this was a phenomenon that violated normal rules.
But she thought of——
"The dragonfly pond is located behind my house."
At this moment, Xiuyi's mother looked at this scene in the sky and suddenly shouted in horror, "Ah——!!"
"Husband! Stop!"
She put her head in her hands and screamed, "Don't do that!"
Then when Xiuyi and everyone were confused, she said to Xiuyi, "That's your father..."
"That's just a coincidence!"
Shuichi said quickly.
Xiuyi's mother pointed to the sky in horror and said, "But... look!"
Everyone immediately looked to the sky, and finally saw...
The twisted vortex of black smoke gathered and dissipated in the sky, seeming to vaguely form a twisted human face... That was the face of Shuichi's father!
Seeing this twisted face, fear began to spread and ferment in Zhou Wenwei's heart!
This... is definitely not normal!
Shuichi's father must have been cursed or something, so he could still create such a terrifying scene even after death!
It's really scary...
Zhou Wenwei's eyes were horrified and he couldn't help but swallow his saliva, but he continued to read.
Xiuyi's mother was also greatly stimulated and was sent directly to the hospital.
But when she was in the hospital, she saw the ball of hair circling behind the nurse's head, and she immediately jumped up from the bed like a frightened bird.
Since then, Shuichi's mother has also become particularly afraid of whirlpools.
When I was hospitalized, I would be afraid of the infusion lines that would twist up during injections and infusions, and I would also be afraid of the swirling pattern formed by having my hair rolled up into a ball.
To do this, she simply shaved off all her hair.
Even in the end, she saw that the fingerprints on her ten fingers were all in the shape of swirls, so she used scissors to cut off all the fingerprints on her hands and feet.
"Oh my god! What an unclean thing this is!"
This made Zhou Wenwei's scalp numb, and he was so afraid of the vortex that he even committed self-harm.
The bloody fingers of Xiu Yi's mother in the cartoon made his hair stand on end.
A normal person who is so afraid of whirlpools is obviously the same as Shuichi's father...
It was also influenced by supernatural powers!
So far, nothing has emerged as to what caused the drastic change in Shuichi's family.
"What the hell is this..."
Zhou Wenwei continued to read patiently. Seeing Xiu Yi's crazy self-mutilation behavior in the comic, he even felt a little phantom pain.
But this time, the swirl patterns all over Shuichi's mother's body also disappeared.
Moreover, Xiuyi and the doctors and nurses at the hospital tried their best to avoid letting Xiuyi's mother see the whirlpool.
But at this time, Xiuyi discovered to his horror...
Shuichi’s mother actually has a whirlpool on her body!
That is the cochlea located in the human ear canal!
If Shuichi's mother knew about it, it would definitely trigger her self-mutilation behavior again.
So Shuichi has been hiding it from his mother since then, and he only told Kirie about it.
This made Tonge very scared.
And just when Shuichi tried his best to conceal this matter...
In the hospital late at night.
Xiuyi's mother was sleeping peacefully on the hospital bed, but at this moment...
There was a rustling sound next to her, and a centipede quietly climbed onto her bed, waking her up.
