Chapter 424 Sakura-Sama Comes to Visit (Two in One, Please Subscribe!!!)

The performance on the stage is still not over, but it has reached its final chapter.

Izanagi disappeared, and Kazama Ruri once again put on a snow-white robe. Kazama Ruri's low singing echoed through the speakers in all directions of the Kabukiza. The song was sad and desolate, like a lonely wild soul crying in an empty well.

"All happiness in the world is like an epiphyllum that appears in the shadow of the moon."

"Only loneliness and pain are the most lasting poisons in the world, and they always accompany me."

"The light of the flowing firefly is intermittent, and it lights up and goes out within a foot. How lonely is it?"

At this point in the play, everyone should actually understand it. Whether it is a professional who really loves kabuki performance or a girl who admires Kazama Ruri, everyone can understand that the story has come to an end, and it is the same as the beginning. It echoed... Izanagi died, Amaterasu, Tsukiyomi and Susano'o also died. All living things on the earth were extinct, and only Izanami was left in the world.

This is...a victory for the evil spirits.

The "New Kojiki" repertoire staged at Kabukiza this time is too bold. To put it mildly, Ruri Kazama's adaptation of "Kojiki" this time is extremely innovative. To put it harshly, the strict Japanese mythology and history have been Tampered beyond recognition.

But what is incredible is that no one present, whether they are traditional kabuki masters, Noh actors, or journalists who report on kabuki, criticized Ruri Kazama's performance, not even one. There was no questioning or discussion.

The venue was surprisingly quiet, with only Kazama Ruri's singing echoing between seats. Some audience members even closed their eyes, because they didn't need to look, just listened to the pure singing, and a sad woman could not help but appear in their minds. image of.

What she was wearing was no longer a ferocious corpse shroud, but a luxurious brocade suit. Her rotting face also reproduced its world-famous glory, but she was so out of tune with everything around her. What surrounded her was bleakness. The dead trees, the devastated earth and the dead bones on the ground made the woman feel so sad and hesitant, and the sad song was like a huge ocean tide drowning her.

The sadness not only overwhelmed Kazama Ruri on the stage, but also swallowed up the audience. Everyone was silent. There were even faint sobs from the crowd in the venue. Some people were attracted by the woman on the stage who felt like she was the only one in the world. I am so lonely that I can't help but feel sad and cry.

Caesar followed the source of the sound and looked intently. The first one to cry was the Humpback Whale store manager sitting in the front row. Big tears welled up one after another under the Humpback Whale's sunglasses. This steel rock The ordinary man burst into tears at this moment, as shy as a bullied little lady.

The crying spread among the audience like a highly contagious virus. Some people sobbed silently, while others cried uncontrollably. The women took out handkerchiefs and tissues to cover their tearful eyes, not even caring about their makeup. , those traditional Kabuki masters even burst into tears one by one, and a strange atmosphere enveloped the entire Kabuki Theater.

Originally, Caesar had watched Kazama Ruri's performance and was a little touched, but the situation in the VIP room made his hair stand on end and he was not in the mood to be hurt at all.

Eriko stared blankly at the figure in the center of the stage. Tears fell from her delicate face like a spring. Her expression at the moment was as if she was lost. Even Uesugi Koshi couldn't stop crying. A man who is old enough to be your grandfather The man suddenly sheds silent tears in front of you. This scene really makes people feel indescribably weird.

"Damn it, is this guy's performance really so evil?" Caesar glanced at the tearful Uesugi Koshi and the tearful Eri, and whispered to Lu Mingfei and Chu Zihang, "I admit that Kazama Ruri's acting is excellent. Very good, I can understand that my father was so moved after watching his son’s performance for the first time... But what’s going on with the head of the Uesugi family? Doesn’t she suffer from severe emotional deficiency? How can she cry like this? "

"Maybe it's the power of the speech spirit." Chu Zihang said, "If Fengjian Liuli's speech spirit is spiritual, it can be explained."

"Fengjian Ruri invisibly integrates the power of word spirit into his performance. The spirit of people radiated by his word spirit field will be in an extremely unstable state, and negative emotions will be amplified several times. Sad emotions Once it exceeds the threshold, it is like a flood that bursts out of a dike and is difficult to control." Chu Zihang also glanced at Yue Uesugi and Eriki, "Lu Mingfei said that Master Yue's combat power is comparable to the principal, and he can fight against Master Yue and the head of the Uesugi family. Such bloodline has an impact, which shows that Kazama Ruri’s bloodline is at least not weaker than Yuan Zhisheng.”

"Another 'emperor'?" Caesar was stunned. He had been shocked to the point of numbness by these Japanese freaks. "That's not right. If Kazama Ruri's word spirit is at work, it can attack Master Yue and Uesugi." There is no reason why the head of the family’s influence will not affect us, and our reaction will only be greater than the two of them.”

"Fengjian Liuli may have used the power of words, but he did not deliberately target anyone." Lu Mingfei shook his head, "It is precisely because the bloodlines of Master Yue and Eryi are stronger than everyone else, so the two of them have The reaction is so great, even stronger than that of ordinary people... because it is a resonance derived from blood."

"Blood resonance?" Caesar asked.

"Yes, please pay attention to the robe that Fengjian Liuli is wearing. Do you feel dizzy when you stare at the Goddess characters on it?" Lu Mingfei said, "Because those characters may be engraved with real things. History, words and histories are powerful.”

"It's just that the history recorded in those texts is about the white emperor, and we are not descendants of the white king, so we don't have too many feelings, we just think those texts are weird." Lu Mingfei whispered. Said, "Whether it is the things carried by the words or today's performance by Kazama Ruri, for Master Yue and Eriri, these are all originated from the memories deep in their bloodline, so they will resonate with them. Not surprisingly."

Before everyone could recover, Kazama Ruri had quietly left the stage. A kabuki master in kimono recovered and stood up, admiring the empty stage. of admiration, and then applauded vigorously.

More and more spectators applauded together, and in an instant, the applause was like thunder.

Experts and theater critics from news magazines walked onto the stage excitedly and praised without hesitation that this was the best and most touching kabuki performance they had seen in the past ten years. An unpopular and well-established play has been adapted so innovatively and performed so perfectly. Master Kazama is worthy of being the top performer among the younger generation in the kabuki industry!

The flash and the camera slowly swept over the faces with tears streaming down their faces, confirming that Ruri Kazama's performance was indeed highly praised by drama critics. However, the person who created such a gloomy and gloomy atmosphere avoided the camera and had long since Retreat behind the scenes.

Uesugi Yue and Eriko in the VIP room finally came out of their sadness.

At the same time, the waiter in black knocked on the door of the VIP room, and the white envelope was accurately handed into Lu Mingfei's hands. Lu Mingfei opened the envelope in front of everyone, and inside was a white note.

The content of the note was very simple. It was to invite Sakura-sensei to the backstage for a talk. The additional condition was that you must bring Basara King and Ukyo Tachibana with you. The note was signed by Kazama Ruri.

"Okay, if you have any questions about Kazama Liuli's invitation, you can ask the guy in person later. I believe he also has something to say to us." Lu Mingfei folded the note into the envelope and pocketed it. Lined pockets, "Let's go, don't keep this host waiting too long."

Caesar and Chu Zihang nodded. Of course Eriyi followed Lu Mingfei closely, but Uesugoshi in the corner of the sofa took off his forehead tie with the words "Kazama Ming" written on it, and put Kazama Ruri's The support fan was stuffed into the kimono's arms.

"What's wrong, Master Yue? You're going to see Kazama Ruri soon, and you're afraid that your son will see these things, so why are you so shy?" Lu Mingfei looked at Uesugi Yue and asked teasingly.

"No, you go ahead, I'd better go back to my ramen stand first." Uesugi shook his head, "The ramen stand hasn't opened yet today, and it's just time for those students to finish their evening studies. I won't rush back to the ramen stand. The guests should be impatient."

Uesugoshi packed up his things and prepared to leave alone.

"Master Yue, are you afraid?" Lu Mingfei looked at Uesugi Yue's back, "You feel that you have been ashamed of your son for so many years, so you don't dare to see him?"

Uesugoshi stopped, but did not look back immediately: "You are all young people of the same generation. If there are topics among young people, you can just talk. It would be inappropriate for an old guy like me to get involved, and we have no common topics. , I am still more suitable to drink with an old guy like me like Angers."

There was a hint of sadness in the old man's words.

"Speaking of which, my father is also a bastard. Although he usually seems to be indifferent to me, whenever there is a chance, he will always shamelessly come up to me, just to say a few more words to me." Caesar asked. Xiang Chu Zihang said, "There is no father in the world who doesn't want to talk to his children more, right?"

"I don't know." Chu Zihang shook his head, "But at least my father is like you said. Sometimes he will do anything just to have a few words with me."

"I don't know if my dad is a bastard, or if he wants to talk to me. We haven't seen each other for several years, and we haven't talked on the phone." Lu Mingfei shrugged, "But standing here From the perspective of a son, I really want to talk to him a little more. After all, the only thing that everyone has from birth and remains unchanged throughout his life is his parents. I think if you, the boss and senior brother, have the opportunity, you should also You will want to talk to your dad more."

"Yes." Chu Zihang nodded and asked the man something that was once the most important meaning of his life.

"I don't really have any intention of chatting with my bastard dad, because most of his conversations with me can't avoid the topic of money and women. After all, he is a bastard, but it is impossible for everyone's dad in the world to be a bastard." Caesar After thinking for a while, "But if he dies one day, maybe I will really want to have a few words with him."

"So, if there is a chance, the father wants to talk to his son, and the son also wants to talk to the father." Lu Mingfei said to Uesugoshi's back, "Master Yue, he has been running away for decades. , Now that the opportunity is right in front of you, do you still want to continue hiding?"

Uesugoshi took a deep breath and slowly turned around. He looked at Lu Mingfei and the others, and then at Eri Yi. Finally, he nodded lightly: "But I want to ask you one thing... Please don't mention it until I'm ready to reveal my relationship to the kid."

…

The corridor leading to the backstage is winding. The interior of this century-old building still maintains its original appearance, and the paintings on the walls are also valuable.

Men in black suits stood at the corner of every corridor. When Lu Mingfei and others passed by, they would bend down and bow slowly. These people were all waiters and waiters from the kabuki performance just now. They were different from before. What's more interesting is that they have now taken off the armbands and bow ties used by waiters and put on black ties. They wear black copper "ghost" badges on their chests. These badges symbolize their second family from the Japanese underworld—— Fierce ghosts.

The Snake Qihachi Family miscalculated one thing. The Kukakukan is not the true base camp of the Oni at all. It is run by Ryoma Sakurai Kogure, the third person in the Oni, even though the Kukakukan has an entire floor. The building serves as the living room of Yuan Jingnu, who is the Dragon King, but Yuan Jingnu only stays there occasionally, and the number one figure, General Wang, has never appeared in the Kukakukan. The entire Kukakukan Casino can only be regarded as a subordinate of the fierce ghosts at best. A large position, and the real fierce ghosts have penetrated into every corner of Japan, they are everywhere.

This was the first time that Caesar and Chu Zihang had official contact with the fierce ghosts. Different from the rumors, these "ghosts" were not vicious and did not exude a dangerous aura. On the contrary, they were silent and restrained.

If the Sheqiba family is a large and powerful family, then the Menggui clan is more like a religion with strict laws. The people gathered here all have a common belief. They are united because of their belief. Once the war starts, He will immediately transform into the bravest warrior.

The end of the corridor is a black sunken wood door. The wood carvings are exquisite and noble. A ferocious ghost head is carved on the left and right sides. A woman wearing a black kimono and geisha makeup on her face kneels on both sides of the door, looking at Lu Mingfei. When they came to the door, the women were prostrate on the ground, polishing the uppers of their shoes with expensive silk.

When they were in the corridor, Caesar and Chu Zihang had a vague guess in their minds. When they saw this door and these women, their guess was confirmed... It turns out that the entire Kabuki Theater is the property of the fierce ghosts. This Dangerous forces are even hiding under the noses of the Snake Qibachi family. Presumably the whole Snake Qibachi family is so dark, and one of the reasons why Tachibana Masamune, the former patriarch, secretly provides shelter for the fierce ghosts.

"Sir Kazama, Sakura-sama is here to visit." The woman knocked on the door lightly.
