When the update for the 8th chapter of the manga "The Incomplete" was released, Amy was on the subway after get off work.
With the faint hope that her favorite character might be resurrected, she clicked on the new episode.
The cover of the previous chapter shows a young fox standing alone in the vast wilderness, looking back. The gentle breeze gently blows his sleeves and long hair, making him look quiet and lonely.
This time, the cover page is a girl on a journey, which seems to be a contrast to it.
Xiaoman was walking alone on the road. The weather was clear and wild flowers were blooming in the background. Just like every ordinary day, she was not much different from when she first started her journey.
But when she passed by the big tree, she looked up unconsciously. There were only some abrupt gaps and lush, small green leaves on the branches of the big tree. There was no longer any boy who was afraid of heights and would ask her for help with a helpless smile.
[What a vicious composition... little fox, little fox...]
[It hurts here (pointing to the heart)]
[Is this loneliness? Woohoo! I’m going to break into pieces.]
Amy took another bite of the blade. The office worker straightened up from the position of leaning back in the chair and leaned forward a little, silently hugging his poor self.
The update begins with Lazarus’s appearance, specifically depicting the reactions of some passers-by as they are shrouded in darkness and isolated from others. Through storyboards and these depictions, the effects of the spells he uses are made to sound massive.
This caused some readers to initially worry that the spellcaster was out to hunt Xiao Man, but fortunately their fears were later proven to be wrong.
Lazarus' outfit was so tightly wrapped that his entire face was shrouded in chaotic light and shadow. Even the comics didn't show a strand of hair, which is a common piece of information. Only his hands were exposed.
Readers still have no idea whether his appearance is good or bad, but it is precisely because of this sense of mystery that this character must be very powerful.
Moreover, he used his white sleeves as a cushion for the opening, which also attracted attention very well. The fox boy had just made a loud exit in the previous episode, and this was the time when the attention was the highest.
After bringing Xiaoman to his home in the jungle, Lazarus said, "Before he met you, he was on the verge of death." The comic also thoughtfully created a flashback scene that never actually happened.
In the center of this grid was a white-haired boy covered in blood, kneeling among a pile of beast corpses that had been blown to pieces and were barely recognizable as human beings.
Surrounded by relatives who had died tragically in the nobles' game, he certainly had not been completely spared. One side of his body was covered with dark marks formed by horrible, rotting flesh and blood that had completely soaked through his clothes. His shoulders and cheeks were a bloody mess. It was obvious that even if he had survived by relying on the blood that had just awakened at the critical moment, he was already dying and at the end of his strength due to the serious injuries that no one could treat.
He looked up with his scarred face. Even though he looked so wolfish and had marks from the herbs and dirt that concealed his features, his golden eyes were still beautiful, filled with confusion and pain.
[Oh my god, it hurts just looking at it...]
[Damn those two pink-haired little foxes, they are so miserable, so miserable!!!]
[It turns out that it was the new character who saved the little fox, so he was the one who gave the beautiful clothes? ]
[Probably 233]
[No matter whether it was for the purpose of experimenting with rare cases or what, he saved the little fox! Say, thank you Lasi! ]
[No! Because the name is too long! Just call me Lasi! I laughed so hard]
[Is it called a screw or a snail? ]
[Okay, I vote for Lassi. At least one word is right. Save Teacher Lassarius——]
[He saved the little fox back then, and now he comes to help Xiaoman, so he must be a good person to locate, I’m sure]
[He is a good person (he looks at the dark magic and tells lies with his eyes open)]
[Is a good person +1 (look at the weird green fire and lie with your eyes open)]
[He is a good person + last number (look at the white bone fingers and lie with his eyes open)]
The strong readers became happy again.
The following plot further confirmed the readers' thoughts, and they felt that Lazarus was a good supporting character who provided food, lodging, and a gift package of experience.
The one in which Xiaoman is sipping a sweet drink is drawn to be particularly adorable, with dark hair that is neither too short nor too long wrapped around her neck and cheeks. Her not-so-round eyes are filled with curiosity as she tastes the incredibly delicious drink, making her look lively and innocent in a rare way.
She then fell asleep while still reading, causing readers to want to poke and pinch the little wolf cub, and they had no time to collect the lore about magic that was finally beginning to emerge in the comics.
[Ahhh, serious and positive attitude but fell asleep.jpg, Heart is soft...]
[How dare you relax and sleep in someone else's territory just after you arrived? What kind of witchcraft is this! 】
[Little Wolf Cub: The power gap is too big, so I was not alert. It is important to sleep well.]
[Ah? Lasi even prepared a room for the baby? You are such a good person.]
[A mysterious dangerous man who lived to be 800 years old, but he was sent back to the house when he was sleepy. Good job! ]
Then came the next day, and Xiaoman followed the comic's perspective as he carefully read every scene and object inside the building and outside the window.
Readers who had previously devoured a bowl of razor blades gradually felt healed in the process.
[This cottage feels like home, so cozy, and the scenery outside is beautiful. I want to live there...]
[She talks very cool and stylish but her residence is so casual and healing, I love it]
[If I hadn’t seen the blue-haired deer-headed man before, I would have thought this was the normal style of a spellcaster.]
[There are furry slippers, food, you can light a fire and heat your own meal, and there are even small fruits. The intimacy is so great. How is this different from the treatment I get when I go to my grandmother's house in the village (leaning back)]
[Look back, Lasi, so you are such a spellcaster! ]
The barrage was filled with a cheerful atmosphere, and Lazarus as a character also benefited greatly from the complaints. In addition to the emotional value reflected in data, there was also the more important long-term goodwill and the trust that was naturally gained after being successfully regarded as someone on the side of the protagonist.
So much so that when he said something like "But I am not alive", the comments were filled with curiosity rather than speculation.
[Lasi really has the flavor of a spellcaster (a compliment). It focuses more on knowledge than others. I like it.]
[Yes, a breath of fresh air]
[I don't want to believe it easily, but he said he wanted to leave a shining star for this world ()]
[Lasi said the little wolf cub is a star, Lasi is good, the little wolf cub cooks and fetches water, the little wolf cub is also good! ]
After Yuan Qian finished the update, he became more confident about the path he wanted to take.
It's not that he doesn't want to play a standard dangerous villain. As a boys' manga, "The Incomplete" does have a vacancy in the position of a long-term villain.
He was able to act out the condescending attitude based on his ability and past experience, but he felt that he was not yet able to truly put himself into the role and portray the kind of oppressive feeling of contempt for life and everything that was indispensable for a villain.
[There is no correct answer to the question of what kind of script can gain popularity.] Julius also agreed with his idea.
"I thought you would encourage me to step out of my comfort zone and challenge myself." Yuan Qian joked.
At this moment, after he paid to unlock the reader forum rights, the suspicious but reliable Mr. Lieutenant is working on remote docking with the forum.
"That's an excuse you humans made up to grab survival resources. My subordinates all work two days a week and rest eight days a week. Surviving is already a great achievement. Have you ever seen a wild dog wandering around a dragon's nest after eating its fill as a challenge?" Julius said quietly.
Yuan Qian felt that he had no way of refutation and carefully studied the tone of voice the other person used when he said "you humans" naturally, using it as a reserve material for his performance.
Although the adjutant's words and deeds always revealed that he did not seem to be a member of the human camp, fortunately his level was indeed online. Soon, the readers' forum was opened to Yuan Qian.
[I've got the account for you. By the way, the code here shows that you'll be charged an additional 50,000 yuan to register the account, and there will be an additional charge for each post you read. That system is really loyal... to its superiors.]
Yuan Qian thought about the chain of sinkholes hidden here that were reserved for him, and wiped away the non-existent cold sweat.
Before Mr. Adjutant figured it out, Yuan Qian first browsed the forum using a visitor account that could only read posts but not do any other operations, hoping to collect some information.
The first thing that caught his eye was this post:
"…Why didn't Lasi come earlier? Wouldn't it be better to raise both of them together?"
-OP-: I read the update, and the more I read, the more I couldn’t sleep. My mind was filled with thoughts of there having to be a little fox in this scene!
-2L-: Damn, I was so happy before but now I can't sleep
-3L-: What is this? A wolf cub walking by the lake. Pah, I photoshopped a little fox in! (crying) [Su Mei from the cover of episode 7 is standing in the distance.jpg]
-4L-: I declare this to be the original version!!!
-5L-: I don't care! This is the original version!
…
-10L-: Yes, why didn’t Lazarus save the little fox as well?
-11L-: He did save her. Su Mei proved her attitude when she didn't ask him to intervene for her revenge. If she could survive, she would repay him with supplies. So, dying with her enemy was the little fox's own choice...
-12L-: Indeed... Lasi saved the dying little fox once. According to the style of that world, he probably has the right to do whatever he wants with the little fox. Not only did he save the little fox, he actually let it go free and even gave it enchanted protective clothes [blue lines "Your clothes are so special that they can actually interfere with spells".jpg], he really has done his best. He actually has no obligation to help anything else, it's not like he's doing charity.
-13L-: After Little Fox died, he came to find Xiaoman and took her away. It seems that he was protecting her. Xiaoman had already made an appointment with Pink Hair Sister before. I believe there is some magical protection around his house, which can prevent his whereabouts from being traced... It is better than Xiaoman staying outside alone. She doesn't even know where Little Fox is (tea).
-14L-: After all, the little fox didn't know beforehand that Effie was Ellyretna, so how could he have predicted that he would bring danger to his companions (sigh)? Before he died, he didn't even know that Ellyretna was not dead yet and could still be alive...
-15L-: You guys can discuss the plot, why do you want to stab me! (crying)
…
The person concerned closed the post out of guilt.
[So what did it mean that you had a lock of hair at that time?] At this moment, the adjutant suddenly came to the character himself to ask for clarification, adding fuel to the fire.
"It's actually the idea of cutting off one's hair in lieu of one's head..." Yuan Qian said, "'Because I still have things to do, I'll use my hair to atone for my sins to you.'"
[Forget it, you better stop explaining.]
The adjutant felt that this was a great spoiler, and melted the parts removed from the D-009 core into precious metals and exchanged them for a reward to the author of the HE healing fan work centered on Xiaoman and Sumei, as a way to express his support and spiritual compensation for the readers' free interpretation of the characters.
"? ... Oh." Yuan Qian didn't know what happened. He felt that the other party seemed not satisfied with his explanation, but this was indeed his real thinking at the time. Since the conversation was over, he had no choice but to continue browsing the forum.
