Canary of the gods

Different from "Wind Chime House", which is a favorite of Sixiu Yiyi, "Night Road" is a pure supernatural horror film, broadcast in the form of a unit drama.

This drama is filmed and broadcast at the same time, and the interval between broadcasts does not exceed one unit. The work rhythm of the crew is fast and compact, and there are a large number of shooting tasks to be completed every day.

Originally, according to the original plan, the crew was going to shoot the content of the next week's broadcast this week.

However, what was never expected was that a sudden accident caught everyone on the crew by surprise.

"This show has a male supporting role who plays a more important role in the later stage. Several important clues in the main plot are tied to him. Unfortunately, he passed away on the first night after joining the crew. "

"?!" A temple cultivator was so surprised that he opened his eyes unconsciously, "Passed away?"

Osamu Dazai: "That's right."

After some investigation, the police found that the actor was so busy before he joined the crew that he was like a spinning top, unable to stop at all. He only slept for two or three hours a day.In addition, the cause of death given by the autopsy report was acute myocardial infarction, so the case of the actor's death on the set was quickly closed.

The actor who played an important male supporting role had just reported to the crew, and this happened before the official start of the show.Although his death had nothing to do with the crew, if rumors spread, it would definitely be bad for the crew, so they kept quiet about it.

However, the key characters in the later stage of the plot suddenly disappeared, what should we do now?

The director and screenwriter have put a lot of thought into this role, and there are still many hints about this role in the content that has been broadcast earlier.

Many careful viewers have actually guessed that such a character will appear later, and even wrote a lot of high-quality reasoning about this character under the topic of TV dramas.

The crew kept information about this role very tight, and even the actor who played this role did not announce it to the outside world, allowing outsiders to speculate.

They whetted the appetite of the audience, made them scratch their hearts and lungs with curiosity, and set off a smoke bomb from time to time, but they never gave a letter.

The audience's expectations have already risen. If the role of this character is cut because of the problem of "no one will play it", not only the director and screenwriter will be unwilling, but even their loyal audience will not agree.

Hearing this, Sixiu Yiyi, who is also a loyal audience of this drama, nodded, expressing his understanding.

"But..." He looked at Osamu Dazai puzzled, "It's just the first time we met, why did the actress tell you such an important thing?" Don't say anything like "because she is handsome" It's a nonsense reason at first glance, and a temple cultivator absolutely doesn't believe it.

Osamu Dazai coughed, "Because she commissioned a detective agency."

A temple cultivator: "..."

He was silent for a while, then said, "Then what you said about getting into the water...is it all made up?"

Osamu Dazai: "Huh? It's not made up. The actress and I did know each other in this way, but she left in a hurry after we didn't chat for long. These internal news about the crew were made up by her later. You told me when you entrusted it."

A priest asked again: "So what is the content of her commission?"

Osamu Dazai: "She wants us to investigate the male lead of this drama."

"What happened to the hero?"

"She felt that there was something wrong with the male lead, as if he was a completely different person. Although she and the male lead were not very familiar, but because she had filmed scenes for a while and she usually likes to observe, so she found out Something weird."

A temple cultivator: "For example?"

Osamu Dazai: "When I put the water glass, my little finger will turn up; when I laugh, I will cover my mouth and lower my head, looking down; when I encounter some insects that don't bite people, they will even jump on the bed and yell, etc."

After listening, a temple cultivator couldn't help being puzzled, "What's so strange about this..."

"From a normal point of view, it's really not surprising." Osamu Dazai said calmly, "But what if this person has never behaved like this before, or even reacted completely opposite?"

...That's really weird, isn't it?

"So that's why she said that the actor seems to have changed?"

Osamu Dazai nodded, and his tone suddenly became a bit thought-provoking, "It's nothing, what's even weirder is that these small details are exactly the same as the dead supporting actor."

"?!"

"Even, the time when the leading actor changed happened to be the day when the supporting actor died. If the reality was a supernatural horror movie, she would start to wonder if the supporting actor's soul didn't leave the crew after his death, but It is possessed by the male protagonist."

It's a bit interesting that a supernatural event actually happened to the crew of a supernatural film.

Ji Yiji's interest was completely aroused, and he asked: "When will we leave?" Since Osamu Dazai told him the inside story of this commission, he was naturally prepared to let him participate in this investigation.

Osamu Dazai smiled, and said meaningfully: "Don't worry, we still need some preparations before that~"

"What preparation?" What is this guy trying to tell?

Such doubts did not last long, and were quickly answered.

"In order to avoid alarming the enemy, the client did not make this matter public. Therefore, in this investigation, we have to change our identities to get in as we did in the crew of "Wind Chime House" last time."

A temple repair nodded, and said as a matter of course: "Still the staff?"

"No." Osamu Dazai waggled his finger, and pointed at Ichiji Temple with a "swish", "The actor playing the supporting role—"

Then he took out a pair of glasses out of nowhere, put them on the bridge of his nose, and introduced himself solemnly with his chin up, "and his manager."

Jojo Jishu: "..." No wonder Osamu Dazai said to him before, "Are you interested in becoming an actor?"

Before he had time to say anything, a hand suddenly stretched out from the opposite side of the desk, punched Dazai Osamu on the head with a "bang", and then pulled away the glasses on the bridge of Dazai Osamu's nose.

Ji Yiji took advantage of the situation to look over, and found that the pair of glasses was Kunikida's alone.

After the latter snatched back his glasses, he sat back in his seat as if nothing had happened, and continued to work, with the clattering sound of the keyboard.

"That's it..." Osamu Dazai grinned and rubbed the place where he was knocked, and continued, "Miss Mori--the client of this task--said that it is inconvenient to disclose the death of the supporting actor, so The production team is now privately busy looking for actors suitable for this role. So far, they have also found a few actors for trial costumes, but in the end the director and screenwriter are not satisfied. If this continues, they will have to delete The role was lost. The director was in a hurry, so in desperation, he quietly talked to the leading actors and the companies behind them, asking them to help recommend actors suitable for this role."

Hearing this, Ji Yijiu understood, "So Miss Mori is planning to use this method to send us into the crew?"

Osamu Dazai: "That's right."

A temple cultivator nodded, and then said very simply: "I don't want it."

"Eh?!" Dazai Osamu exaggeratedly widened his eyes, looking unbelievable.

The corner of Sixiu's mouth twitched: "Since you have such a strong desire to perform, can't you experience the feeling of being an actor?"

"Huh???" Osamu Dazai immediately pointed to his bruised and miserable face, and said very confidently: "Which actor would shoot a movie with such a face in the mirror?"

"..." You said it so well that he couldn't refute it.

Sixiu Yiyi struggled: "Is it really not possible to get in as a staff member? Or can I just use supernatural powers to make them ignore our existence?"

Osamu Dazai: "But in this way, how should we question the people in the crew, especially the male lead who has abnormalities? Can't you just erase their memories if you ask one?"

"..."

Looking at the expression of a temple cultivator, it is obvious that he thinks "Why not?"

Osamu Dazai sighed: "Since that's the case, why should we go to the crew to investigate in person, and just let your supernatural ability write the ins and outs of the incident?"

"..." That's right, but that also loses the fun of investigation.

"I remember you said before, 'I don't like to use supernatural powers in fights, because it's too easy to win'... Actually, the investigation is the same, isn't it?"

Osamu Dazai is persuasive: "Actually, Xiu is very smart, but when you encounter any troubles, you are used to using supernatural powers to solve them simply and rudely, so many times your brain will not be able to turn around. Machines that are not used often are usually difficult to use. The logic is the same."

It was the first time to be praised as "smart". A temple cultivator who had been crushed by his bamboo horse and his brother's IQ all the time: "Really?"

Osamu Dazai was sincere: "Really."

Seeing that Jiyi Jixiu had begun to waver, Osamu Dazai continued his efforts and said, "During the investigation, we should try our best not to use supernatural powers to take shortcuts. This does not mean that we can't use them when we deal with the aftermath. If you really don't plan to appear on camera, after the investigation Wouldn’t it be good to delete the scenes about you?”

Hearing this, a temple cultivator who was still hesitating finally agreed, "Alright then."

There was a sudden sound of crackling keyboard tapping.

Kunikida Doppo couldn't help but sighed in his heart: This is too easy to deceive...

The goal was achieved, Dazai Osamu said with a smile: "Then next..."

Like a magic trick, he took out a shopping bag from under the desk, and smiled maliciously, "Just please change into this clothes first~"

"...?"

A Sixiu looked at the very familiar brand logo on the shopping bag, and couldn't help being silent.

Isn't this... the store where he bought clothes when he was dressed as a woman...

Osamu Dazai handed the shopping bag to a temple and motioned for him to take it.

Shouldn't it be what he thought?

A lucky monk took the shopping bag and looked inside——

Inside is a skirt.

With a "snap", a blue vein suddenly popped out on the forehead of a priest, and his gaze was scraped towards Osamu Dazai like a knife.

Osamu Dazai didn't realize it, he greeted him and said, "Come on, it's not the first time anyway, Xiu should be very proficient?"

The back molars of a temple were grinding so loudly that his voice seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth: "What does this mean?"

"Huh? Didn't I tell you?" Osamu Dazai blinked his eyes and said innocently, "The character you are about to play is a..."

"what?"

"Dummy!"

"........."
