Chapter 004: The Ring of Midnight

From a future perspective, it is nothing more than death, the protagonist's investigation, the protagonist's self-destructive behavior, the discovery of issues, and the search for the truth behind the tragedy

The movie "The Ring" in his hands is really terrifying!

The result is that Ai Shengmi Zi was completely captivated by the entire scene, as if possessed.

If drawing comics does not work out, he will have to think of other methods

After all, the routines of the people of the Heavenly Kingdom are one step ahead, which ignorant Japanese friends surely have never seen.

When Higashino drew a full-body portrait of Aisho Miko today, he used this main skill.

Perhaps by then, I might even appear in a Tokyo media outlet for an interview

There is also no startling music

The sense of horror that can directly pull a person in has even left the original author in awe

It is estimated that by that time, there will indeed be Japanese friends carrying large iron chains to lock the television, living under the dominion of his horror comics

Setting aside these rumors

There is nothing to say

This storytelling method is intricately linked, with a clear plot that is very tight, continuously advancing the main storyline, embodying the standard Japanese narrative style

He glanced at the system page in his field of vision.

At that time, various rumors were circulating in the community

It is no exaggeration to say that this version of "The Ring" is on par with the film version he watched before, and it even surpasses it in terms of immersion

It is no exaggeration to say that the Japanese people of that era were entirely dominated by the vengeful spirit Sadako, who crawled out of the television, for an entire era

"The Ring" achieved the remarkable feat of six consecutive hits in its home market

The script, filming, and soundtrack of "The Ring" are undoubtedly excellent

Why not ...? ... also learn from the masters of the past, like 'She Mo', or go to Shibuya Station with a mop and 'draw symbols'?

to personally experience the fear and despair of the characters within

In the dimly lit interior of a Japanese house, a television set placed in the corner flickers with the shadows of a ghostly videotape

Regardless of how the plot of the subsequent films in the "Ju-on" series, including "The Grudge," unfolds, the feat of producing six consecutive films alone has already created a significant gap that many Japanese films are unable to surpass.

This is undoubtedly a classic that cannot be overlooked in the history of Japanese horror films, and it can even be said to be the pinnacle of Japanese horror cinema from 2000 to 2010

Inside the television, the vengeful spirit Zhengzi, dressed in white and barefoot, with a slender figure and pale complexion, crawled out in a bizarre and twisted manner

A chill climbs up the spine

Countless Japanese people tremble in fear, living in its shadow

In the final scene, Sadako crawls out from the television screen, and the foreshadowing that has been laid out earlier, along with the inherent sense of horror, instantly transforms into a three-dimensional experience

This has already been drawn; if it is not submitted for publication and not used to harm our Japanese friends, then wouldn't all of one's efforts be in vain

Moreover, isn't there a group of people in this world who, despite being timid as mice, particularly enjoy watching horror-themed content

When thinking of "The Ring," many people may recall a particular scene

However, this is not a problem at all for Higashino Keigo

This influence even persisted in the Heavenly Dynasty of 2020, during the previous life of Higashino Keigo—on Twitter, there are countless comic images of the Sadako character, various female ghosts crawling out of televisions—freelance creators from all over the world are enamored with this classic Japanese female ghost image

In addition to the original owner's appearance, it is guaranteed to attract a group of young girls to gather around.

Can one be completely drawn into the world of "The Ring"?

This is the strongest sense of immersion

The first part "Ring", the second part "Sadako's Curse", the third part "The Ring 2", the fourth part "Sadako's Revelation", and the fifth and sixth parts "Sadako 3D" and "Sadako 3D 2" - there have even been remakes overseas

However, "The Ring" is ultimately a film

Skipping items such as name and physical fitness, his gaze lingered on the main skills section

However, before that ... it is still necessary to sort out the current situation

A very intuitive piece of data

He can do this too! Moreover, he is guaranteed to shoot beautifully and accurately

If a more timid person were to be involved, it is likely that the matter would not be as simple as just needing someone to accompany them to the restroom

However, in comics, there is no concept of filming or background music

When it comes to Japanese horror films, most people will think of "Ring"

This can also be considered a win-win situation

The rumor that "The Ring" was so terrifying that it was urgently sent back for processing right after its premiere... and also... the rumor that those who watched the movie tied their television sets with iron chains and did not dare to turn on the TV for a week

Yes! The days that will make the Japanese tremble are coming

Fear slowly... erodes the human heart

Although the current situation is quite difficult, Higashino Keigo remains rather optimistic

Main Skill: Empathy (The appreciator can sense the joys and sorrows of the characters in the painting through your rich emotional brushstrokes)

There is no scene of blood plasma being thickened

Why not take this opportunity to help them quit, lest they one day truly encounter something terrifying and suffer a heart attack and sudden death? ... Using Sadako from "The Ring" to wreak havoc ... ... to exercise their courage ... ...

But this era no longer has "The Ring"

Takahashi Yoshihiro needs to carefully consider the matter regarding the submission of "Ring" to the publisher, Urashima Publishing...

Among all these rumors, the most outrageous is the one claiming that someone suffered a heart attack and died suddenly while watching "The Ring" in a movie theater

Without background music and interactive characters, the excitement of "The Ring" would undoubtedly diminish, as it would lack a sense of immersion

Even the original author, Higashino Keigo, would feel an inexplicable chill creeping up his spine, a sense of fear in his heart, leaving him utterly unsettled

Even when Higashino Keigo sent the manuscript to the publisher at that time, he hesitated for quite a while

Let them meet at that time

In simple terms, after using this skill, one can perceive emotions such as tension, sorrow, and joy from the actions of the characters in Higashino's paintings.

Especially with the date reminder below, if the truth is not uncovered by the time it arrives, the protagonist will be killed by the vengeful spirit This sense of urgency and desperation, which is almost directly thrust into the audience's face, fully grips the audience's heart

That's right, "The Ring".

However, although the rumors surrounding "The Ring" are quite mysterious, the plot structure of this film is actually very simple

The plot unfolds naturally, as a sense of fear creeps into people's hearts, layer by layer... Everyone is curious about what awaits the protagonist after the time arrives

Thus, Higashino Satoshi pondered back and forth, and then, with a decisive slap on the table, resolved to illustrate "The Ring" to wreak havoc upon his Japanese friends

Whether "The Ring" is terrifying or capable of causing death is indeed a matter of debate, but its influence is undeniably significant

After hesitating back and forth, he finally slammed the table, having formed a thought in his mind

This is also the reason why Higashino Keigo sent "The Ring" to Urashima Publishing a few days ago
