I'm drawing an action-packed anime within a depressing one!

What kind of ridiculous concept did this author come up with?!

...

He Zhou had an indescribable feeling in his heart as he watched them discuss death with genuine emotion and smiles on their faces.

Even when they said things like, "The demons are weak now, but they'll be stronger in the future," I had a strange feeling in my heart.

soon.

Someone with sharp eyes spotted him.

When he saw him, a boy with a pineapple-shaped haircut recognized him.

"Oh! I know you! You're the student who went up on stage that day during the exam and let the students from the regular class copy the answers!"

"it's him?"

"Correct."

"What's the point of a futile struggle, of delaying death?"

Some people shook their heads.

But the pineapple-headed man still asked, "Is there something you need today?"

...

He Zhou then revealed the purpose of his visit.

"Oh, I've come to borrow something."

"what?"

"Colored pencils, or paints."

Several students in the experimental class looked up at the same time.

"You want to record the map?"

"No."

"You want to draw talismans?"

"Not at all."

"Then who are you?"

"..."

He Zhou paused for a moment, then said, "I need to draw a diagram."

When they heard about drawing, they seriously discussed whether the regular classes also offered courses on drawing demons. When they learned that they didn't, they said in bewilderment, "You people in the regular classes can just relax and wait to die; you don't need to learn these things."

"..."

Is that a cold statement?

What does it mean to just wait to die easily?

He Zhou's lips twitched, but when he turned his head and saw what was written on the blackboard behind them, he was speechless again.

“I don’t need to draw this.”

"So what do you use it to draw?"

"Uh... drawing the Calabash Brothers."

He Zhou tried to explain: "The Calabash Brothers refers to a comic book where seven flowers grow on a vine, which then grow into seven gourd brothers, and in the end they defeat the monster."

Experimental class students: ?

Chapter 12: You're drawing that damn Calabash Brothers 2 again (Stop raising it, please continue reading)

Comics...

When the words "He Zhou Comics" were uttered, it was the first time that I saw a hint of clear stupidity in the eyes of these underworld people.

That's more like it!

This is the look in a student's eyes!

Available in the next second.

I watched them whispering and discussing for a while, and then I told him, "To be on the safe side, I suggest that even if it's a comic, when the seven children's souls are suppressed in the mountains, don't be resentful, but smile."

"Although there is no data showing the impact of the resentment of comic book characters on demons, it's better to be safe than sorry."

"..."

He Zhou, barely able to contain himself, emphasized, "This is a positive, action-packed, and exciting anime!"

Even he himself wasn't sure if watching Calabash Brothers as a child was a shonen anime.

But compared to this grotesque comic, Calabash Brothers is definitely a hot-blooded anime!

...

The experimental class only had watercolor pens for outlining demons. He Zhou felt he wasn't very good at handling watercolors, but he had no other choice but to use these.

Suddenly, a slender, fair hand held a box of watercolor crayons and handed it to her: "Do you need these?"

"need!"

This box of crayons in front of me is clearly for children's art. Although there aren't many colors, only twelve, it's the best for me!

After receiving the box of crayons, He Zhou took out his phone to transfer the money when he heard a gasp of surprise.

Wow! It's Senior Jiang Yueye!

"How does he know Senior Jiang Yueye?"

If the experimental class has abundant resources, then the second-year students who have already joined the Night Patrol Department have the most resources and can enjoy the best conditions in the school.

Hearing the voice, He Zhou looked up and saw Jiang Yueye, who was carrying a lantern, wearing a white dress with a Guanyin mask on her head, and holding a lantern that day. She was handing over the things: "I saw the test paper from that day. You got them all right. You're very good."

...

As soon as she appeared.

The popularity score started to rise rapidly.

[Popularity increased by 0.001]

[Popularity increased by 0.001]

Finally, a few comments appeared.

However, most of them are old comic book fans who urged him to draw Calabash Brothers.

[Why haven't you drawn the comic yet? It's my comic to make you laugh while you eat! Update it soon!]

Stop showing off and flirting, hurry up and draw... Wait! Someone's borrowing crayons? So this isn't a simple black and white sketch? It'll be in color soon? I can't wait!!

You just realized that?

Seeing the few comments that popped up, He Zhou's mood, which felt like he was in a hellish place, improved slightly.

"Math? That's because the questions weren't difficult, so..."

I wasn't praising your math.

Jiang Yueye, carrying a lantern, stood there like a goddess in the soft candlelight: "Of course, your math is also very good."

"In a school like this... you're the only one in the whole school who still has the mind to study math."

...

He Zhou inexplicably understood what she meant.

I was praised.

But it doesn't seem like it's anything nice to say.

But the girl in front of him finally revealed her true purpose for coming today.

"If you want to borrow it... I can lend it to you, but you have to show it to me after you finish drawing it."

"I need to confirm whether any anomalies will occur and conduct research."

He Zhou: "?"

You mean, you want to investigate whether monsters will emerge from a simple comic strip?

is it?

...

Perhaps noticing the speechless expression on He Zhou's face, she wouldn't have bothered to explain in the past.

But when she thought of the boy in front of her turning back to the podium that day, she still patiently explained carefully.

"Negative emotions don't actually create demons; they are merely the window through which demons appear."

"..."

Upon hearing the word "window," He Zhou's expression finally changed. He paused for a moment, then asked, "You mean...?"

"Behind you."

Jiang Yueye suddenly pointed behind He Zhou, startling him so much that his heart almost stopped: "Three."

"!!!"

He Zhou was startled by her sudden outstretched hand. He turned around and saw nothing.

"Just kidding."

"You're not a night watchman, so you can't see their outlines yet."

Before I could even voice my accusations, she had already left with the lantern.

There seemed to be a slight smile on his face.

A faint smile.

Like a fleeting glimpse of a beautiful woman.

The way she carried the lantern, her robes fluttering in the wind, really did give off a bit of the feeling of an ancient temple priestess.

...

The comment section was buzzing with excitement, and an explosion of information poured out of their mouths.

[The sudden change in perspective startled me! A dense mass of demonic silhouettes, like the overlay on the main video! I almost threw my phone! What kind of hellish place is this?!]

Didn't you read the synopsis? Two worlds have overlapped; negative emotions are the conduit through which they can emerge.

The worst part is that the night watchmen can see the overlaid silhouette and their movements, but the more afraid they are and the more they believe it's real, the faster they die.

"..."

So what she was afraid of was that if other classmates read her comics, they would be overwhelmed with negative energy and monsters would crawl out?

That's way too dangerous!

After that day, He Zhou felt a sense of crisis and would work like crazy during class whenever he had a spare moment.

Now, even without the kitten taking the initiative, he can shamelessly use cat treats to lure Jiang Dai into taking him home.

Because he had never actually seen a demon, he was able to sleep well every night, and no demons appeared.

A week later, He Zhou finally finished drawing the first and second episodes of Calabash Brothers.

...

"Huluwa?"

In reality, when Song Yaoyao, who was slacking off, received an update notification for "Monster City" on her phone, she immediately went to check it out.

I finally managed to save up a whole episode to watch at once, but I was still a little disappointed when I found out it wasn't Black Cat Detective.

Where's Chief Black Cat?!

Where's the big fat eagle?

What about that eagle that's so abstract it's taller than a house?
