In order to prove that he is not simply trying to appease the readers, among the photos taken by Shepherd Star, apart from the Holmes on the cover, there are also several subsequent manuscripts of the Sherlock Holmes series.Of course, in order to avoid spoilers, these drafts involving subsequent plots are coded.

But for readers who are still immersed in the depression of Holmes' death, it is obviously enough.

The first to notice such a notice from Mu Su Xing was the restless readers who swiped Weibo:

"Whooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

"Mom, am I dreaming! The stars have changed their minds? Is the sun coming out from the west?"

"??? Upstairs, what nonsense are you talking about? We Xingxing have always been so considerate! And to be reasonable, Xingxing didn't explicitly say that Sherlock Holmes was dead from the beginning to the end, right? The latest comics also said that they didn't find out. Sherlock's body, falling into the waterfall does not mean death, maybe this is just a foreshadowing and turning point, it can only be said that you have imagined too much."

"I understand the truth, so why did the stars not come out to explain the turmoil before? I almost died of fright when I saw Moriarty and Holmes fall off the waterfall."

"Could it be that after Xing Xing finished drawing "The Last Case", he continued to retreat and draw a follow-up, because he didn't know about it all the time, so he didn't show up?"

As the news of "Holmes is not dead" spread rapidly, the readers who were angry because of "The Last Case" gradually calmed down. For them, as long as Holmes is not dead, they can say anything.

At the same time, readers who originally protested outside the Huaying office building also found notices one after another.

"Holmes is not dead? Is it true or not?"

"Xingxing posted all the comics in the next issue, so it's unlikely to be fake?"

Regarding this sudden news of death, some people were skeptical, and some people spontaneously explained for Mu Su Xing after regaining their composure: "It should not be fake, Xing Xing seems to have drawn up the next series. Actually, I think about it now." , There are indeed some doubts in "The Last Case", and it makes sense strictly speaking that Holmes is not dead."

After confirming the safety of Holmes, everyone who gradually regained their senses also calmed down. The readers gathered outside Huaying's office building gradually dispersed, and the readers who protested Holmes' death in various online forums also calmed down.

They are waiting.

Whether they believe in the Shepherd Star or not, all those who pay attention to the life and death of Sherlock Holmes will finally cast their eyes on the next issue of "Hua Ying Manga"——

Is Sherlock Holmes dead?

Did Shepherd never intend to let Holmes take advantage of it from the beginning to the end, or did he reluctantly give up killing Holmes because of the readers' protest?

With such questions in mind, everyone soon waited for another release date of "Hua Ying Manga".

Following the "Last Case" in which Holmes and Moriarty both fell into the waterfall, the follow-up series of short stories is called "The Empty House". Similar to the previous article, "The Empty House" is also unfolded from Watson's perspective——

It turned out that in that duel under the waterfall, Holmes did not really die.In order to prevent the people around him and more other innocent people from being killed.Holmes chose to feign death in order to capture Moriarty's remnants.

On the other side, Watson accidentally ran into an old gentleman on his way back home from the scene of the case. After the two returned together, Watson discovered that the so-called "old gentleman" in front of him was actually It is Sherlock Holmes who returned under a disguise after cheating his death.

Needless to say, Conan Doyle's level, although judging from the history of another parallel world, this "The Empty House" is just a sequel to the Sherlock Holmes series that he had to continue under pressure from the outside world, but the plot of the story and The cases have maintained the consistent high standard of the Sherlock Holmes series, and it is not a perfunctory work written reluctantly to cater to readers.

With the gradual ending of "The Empty House", Holmes in the story finally returned to people's vision once again after capturing the remnants of Moriarty.

This made the last batch of readers who were still worried about the Sherlock Holmes series finally relieved.

"I knew the stars wouldn't lie to me. Sherlock Holmes has really returned safely, long live!"

"The case is as high as ever. Seeing that Sherlock Holmes removed his disguise at the end and returned to 221B Baker Street with Watson as usual, weeping instantly. It's great that Sherlock is fine! Praise the stars!"

Probably because they let go of their long-standing worries, the readers gradually calmed down and began to push forward the whole story of the "Death of Sherlock Holmes".

After reminiscing and discussing, the readers think that the "death of Sherlock Holmes" may have something to do with Shepherd's uncharacteristically explosive liver double opening. As for the idea of ​​getting their stars to solve Sherlock Holmes, once and for all.

So, when Qiu Fengmao turned on the computer tremblingly, the wind direction in the comment area had become like this——

"Xing Xing, don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry, let's not panic about the future updates, take your time, if you don't feel well, it doesn't matter if you don't feel well! Don't hold on, you draw with a relaxed mind, and we will be happy Just watch, don't push yourself too hard!"

"There is a chess and card room with a very good service at my house, Xing Xing, do you think you need it @猫宿星V"

"Yes, yes, Sherlock Holmes finally came back. I guess you are exhausted from looking at the stars. It is better to hit the sun if you choose a date. Why don't we dove in the next issue? Editor Qiu is not cowardly at all. If he dares to urge more You are under pressure, we will scold him to death for you one mouthful at a time! [Super Fierce]"

Editor-in-chief Qiu:? ? ?

Are you too real?

Who is it that perseveres in dragging people back when you thieves are dragging the manuscript?After learning the news of Holmes' death, who quickly mobilized everyone to search and arrest in an attempt to change the ending?

As a result, seeing that Sherlock Holmes is not dead, he crossed the river and demolished the bridge. Is this against me?

Editor Qiu was depressed.

-

In the coffee shop on the second floor, which is only one street away from the Huaying office building, Chang Tianlu sat near the window and watched the last batch of protesting readers slowly disperse.

If you hadn't witnessed all this with your own eyes, I'm afraid it would be hard for anyone to believe that such a protest that swept across several industries was actually caused by the death of a paper man, right?

So steady.he thinks.

If in the past, Chang Tianlu still had the idea of ​​trying to share a piece of the cake in the suspense and reasoning market, then everything in front of him is proving the huge influence of Huaying in reasoning to the comic magazines of the same industry.

From the initial rise, to the step-by-step expansion of the market, and then to the current consolidation of the market, "Hua Ying Manga" has been too stable.

Like a stubborn stone standing still in running water, it is impossible to see the slightest possibility.

"Editor-in-chief?"

Chang Tianlu came back to his senses: "You are right, it is very difficult for us to grab readers from Huaying in terms of suspense and reasoning. field considerations."

He came to the coffee shop at this moment, of course, he didn't come here specially to observe the situation of Huaying opposite, but to discuss the serialization contract with the appointed author.At this moment, the author himself has not yet arrived, so Chang Tianlu stared aimlessly at Huaying opposite, while chatting with the editor beside him.

"It's hard to catch up with Huaying, but our "Flame Manga" can't go on like this. It's time to try to open up some new paths." Chang Tianlu regained his calm and confidence when he spoke.

"You mean..."

While the two were talking, the manga author who had an appointment with them over there also walked towards them under the leadership of the waiter.Chang Tianlu recalled the choices and transformations of "Hua Ying Manga" along the way, and said with a smile: "For example, in addition to the traditional combat-related hot-blooded boy comics, try sports-themed hot-blooded comics?"

……

Knowing nothing about the fighting spirit of the peer weekly magazine that he has aroused, Star Shepherd is sitting on the leather sofa at the moment, staring blankly at the boring program played on the LCD TV on the wall.

"Brother Sheng..."

As if knowing what he was going to say, Qin Sheng vetoed it without raising his head: "No."

Shepherd Xing had no choice but to lie back on the sofa feeling overwhelmed—for the next period of time was a foregone conclusion and could not be changed and forced to live together.

In fact, Qin Sheng originally didn't intend to force the Shepherd to stay.

Unfortunately, it was probably due to his irregular diet at work some time ago. Not long after he finished painting "The Empty House" last night, Mu Suxing suffered from stomach pain. Although he took stomach medicine in time to relieve the pain, it was not enough cure the root cause.It is also because of this that when the Shepherd Star resigned——

"No," Qin Sheng said succinctly, "When will my stomach be healed and when will I leave."

Shepherd star tried to struggle: "I can raise it when I go home!"

Qin Sheng raised his eyes and glanced at him, but didn't speak.

Shepherd star: ...

I have to say that even though the two of them haven't had much contact for a long time, but with just such a familiar glance, when they got along with each other in the past ten years, the instinct that seemed to be a student facing a parent once again took the upper hand at this moment——

Shepherd Star: "...Oh."

Isn't it just to eat on time and avoid raw, cold, oily and spicy food?Although in this case, even rushing to draft, there will inevitably be a strange feeling of being urged by parents to rush homework, but as the saying goes, people live from the heart, isn't it just homework!Who hasn't written homework for several years!

Thinking of this, Shepherd star also calmed down.

Seeing that Mu Su Xing sat back on the sofa so easily, Qin Sheng thought for a while: "Over Thorn Huyu, Woying's mobile game has officially opened its server, and there is a live broadcast lucky draw today, if you have nothing to do , do you want to go and have a look?"

……

The series of events caused by the death of Sherlock Holmes seems to have been completely over, but in fact, not every reader accepts this well and can act as if nothing happened.

For example, Luo Gaofeng.

Unlike some readers who quickly forgave Huaying and Shepherd Xing after learning that Holmes was not dead, Luo Gaofeng was always dubious about the explanation given by Shepherd Star.

How did the shepherd star explain it at that time?

"I never thought of taking Holmes' life, and I will never do so." Facing the reporter's interview, Shepherd star smiled and said: "As many readers have said, Holmes doesn't just belong to any one person. Sherlock Holmes, he is a real person who is a symbol in our hearts. As a comic magazine that flaunts positive energy, the ending set for characters like Sherlock Holmes should naturally be It's heart-warming."

Luo Gaofeng looked indifferent.

started again.

It's been three years, and you think I'm the same as Xiaobai back then, unable to see through your tricks and sinister intentions?

Luo Gaofeng dismissed this.

In his view, no matter how the Shepherd star explained, one thing is beyond doubt—that is, the Shepherd star did want to kill Holmes—this is a fact.

Of course, it seems meaningless to pursue the death of Holmes now.

Seeing that the readers on Weibo changed from scolding the dog thieves to not being in a hurry to update, and the health of the stars is important, Luo Gaofeng could only lament the innocence of the new fans in his heart, scold the shameless dog thieves, and then devote his time to "My Hero Academia mobile game.

10 minute later.

His eyes fell on the card drawing page on the screen of the mobile phone, and Luo Gaofeng couldn't help but fell into deep thought:

Is there really All Might in this pool?

No, I can't krypton anymore.

With this in mind, Luo Gaofeng took a deep breath, suppressed his inner desire, restrained his urge to krypton gold, and continued his pve map push journey.

however--

He looked at his friend's help bar.

#The whole world has All Might, except me#

For a moment, Luo Gaofeng seemed to hear the voice of rationality evaporating in his brain.When he reacted, another ten-game drawing result appeared on the screen of his mobile phone.

Luo Gaofeng gritted his teeth.

Isn't it just 648?What's the point of my English mobile game without All Might? !

Another 10 minutes passed.

Facing the beloved character he finally got, and the penniless gold coin interface of the game, Luo Gaofeng couldn't help asking his friend humblely: "Since the server has just been launched, the game should have other benefits, right?"

"Yes," my good friend sent a URL without hesitation: "The Thorn Interactive Entertainment is broadcasting live, and the official will probably announce three activation codes during the process, you can take a look."

Luo Gaofeng subconsciously clicked on the live broadcast website.

As soon as the page was opened, I didn't know what topic was mentioned, but Qin Sheng said naturally: "... If you want to talk about the purpose of Thorn Interactive Entertainment, it should be to try to make games that can bring happiness to players, right?"

Luo Gaofeng:? ? ?

Luo Gaofeng couldn't help but look at his game interface, and then at the live broadcast interface, where Mu Su Xing was doing a card drawing demonstration in a serious manner, and Qin Sheng had a calm face, as if he didn't feel that there was anything wrong with what he said.

Luo Gaofeng:……………==
