Chapter 1596 Kurokawa Akane's Doubts (I Always Feel Like Hibernation)
In the story, Bai Gui, played by Duanmu Huai, and Shao Ji, played by Kurokawa Akane, are the characters who interact the most. In the comics, Bai Gui is Shao Ji's sister, but Shao Ji is really introverted and gentle, a typical Yamato Nadeshiko image.

The white ghosts only look lively and innocent, but they are actually crazy.

Because comics are different from stage plays, the latter needs to tell the entire story in just a few hours, so the scriptwriter also modified the plot of the relationship between the two.

"That is to say... in the opening stage, Shoji needs to show that she is very hesitant about starting a battle, while Shiroki needs to show her bellicosity."

Pointing at the script, the director spoke to Duanmu Huai and Kurokawa Akane.

"Shaoji needs to struggle to show her disgust for war... 'Is fighting the only way out?', and Baigui has to answer 'Sister, don't worry, just leave everything to me...'"

Having said this, the director looked at Duanmu Huai.

"Of course, the focus of this scene is the White Ghost. We need to use the White Ghost's madness to highlight the gentleness of the Shoji... In the comics, this can be done with background or shadows and dark lights, but in real performances... well, it depends on your acting skills."

In the comics, this scene is when Shao Ji slumped on the ground, mumbling to herself. Then Bai Gui appeared from the side, reached out to touch Shao Ji's face, and at the same time used his own momentum to set off the similar yet completely different temperaments of the two.

"I understand...Xiao Ai, shall we give it a try?"

Kurokawa Akane stared at the script, then closed his eyes and thought for a moment, then looked at Duanmu Huai. Duanmu Huai flipped through the script and then nodded.

"Well... this is not impossible to act. I'll give it a try."

"Then... let's start."

Following the director's order, Kurokawa Akane collapsed to the ground, looking down at the ground.

"Do we have to fight? Is it that... fighting is the only way?"

As Heichuan Akane spoke, he hugged himself with his hands and trembled slightly. At this moment, Duanmu Huai walked to the side of Heichuan Akane, then squatted down and looked at Heichuan Akane.

"Don't worry, sister..."

As he spoke, Duanmu Huai reached out and gently stroked Heikawa Akane's face, forcing her to look at him.

"Just leave everything to me... I will kill all those guys who invade Shibuya!"

Although Duanmu Huai's voice was very lively and cheerful, it made the hairs of the listeners stand on end, as if he was speaking without any emotion. And Kurokawa Akane just stared at Duanmu Huai blankly, not knowing what to say for a moment.

"Yes, it is like that."

The director's voice sounded.

"Then, as the stage rotates, the next scene begins, and the protagonist goes to Shibuya..."

As he spoke, the director turned around to instruct others, and only then did Kurokawa Akane and Duanmu Huai stand up.

"Phew...you've worked hard, Xiao Ai."

"Ah, you too."

"By the way, Xiao Ai'ai really acted like that just now."

As she spoke, Kurokawa Akane looked at Duanmu Huai cautiously. The reason why she paused just now was partly because of the performance of the characters in the plot, and partly because of Duanmu Huai's eyes. The strange eyes that were clearly looking at her, but not looking at her at all, made Kurokawa Akane freeze in place. It can be said that at that moment, she seemed to understand very well why Shaoji showed such an uneasy expression in front of her sister.

"Well, because I know someone who is like this, it's relatively easy to imitate."

Duanmu Huai looked at the script and then curled his lips.

"Does it mean the same as the White Ghost?"

"Yes, just looking at her appearance, you would think she is just more lively. But when she goes crazy, it's seamless."

The person Duanmu Huai was talking about was none other than Menmuzaitori.

He switches between cheerfulness and madness smoothly and freely. He greets you with a smile in one second and draws his sword to chop you without hesitation in the next.

He is a perverted character who can use his ultimate skill without any pre-animation.

And he was laughing happily while chopping you.

"He sounds like an interesting person. Can you introduce him to me?"

"I don't mind, but I probably can't do it."

"Hey? Why?"

"Because she is not in this world."

"ah……………"

Hearing Duanmu Huai's answer, Heichuan Akane was stunned for a moment and quickly lowered his head.

"sorry…………"

"Uh... yeah, it's okay."

Seeing Kurokawa Akane feeling very apologetic, Duanmu Huai was stunned for a moment, and then decided... forget it, and not say anything more.

Let's just leave it at that. "Forget it, let's change the subject, Chiyin, what do you think pleasure is?"

Duanmu Huai didn't want to waste time on something that couldn't be explained, so he decisively changed the subject.

"Happiness?"

Hearing Duanmu Huai's question, Heichuan Akane was stunned for a moment.

"Does it mean to make the audience happy? That's what I think. I try my best to perform and make the audience happy with my performance. Then I will feel satisfied."

"Do you like acting?"

"Of course, I can keep talking about acting. After all, actors in stage plays are all passionate about acting."

"Come to think of it, Kana is the same."

After hearing the answer from Kurokawa Akane, Duanmu Huai looked towards Arima Kana who was acting with Himekawa Daiki not far away. Contrary to her usual foul mouth, Arima Kana was waving her hands at this moment, looking like she had endless energy.

"Love you, don't you?"

"I don't really like acting. Or rather, it's a little interesting to me, but I won't devote myself to it."

"Why? I think it's a great thing to devote yourself to the performance."

“I think it will be miserable…”

Duanmu Huai looked at the script.

"If you get too involved, won't the boundary between yourself and the character be blurred? Then you won't even know who you are, and you'll lose your true self..."

Duanmu Huai knows this kind of person. There is one person in the champion of the obsession. He is this kind of performing star and has filmed many movies and dramas. However, because he filmed too many times and played too many roles, he ended up with schizophrenia. Duanmu Huai still remembers that mission.

At the beginning, the NPC hoped that they could find the true self of the BOSS and awaken it. However, the players found out at the end that this God-chosen champion had no "true self" at all. The image he showed to the players was all part of the character. Even the NPC who gave the players tasks and the shop owner they met on the road were all played by him.

In other words, after entering this quest copy, all the people the player meets are the BOSS itself.

As for his true self, it had long since disappeared from him.

Even during the boss battle, he would imitate the player's character, so that the player couldn't figure out who was the enemy and who was a friendly force, making the fight extremely painful.

Later, this mission was voted by players as one of the top ten most painful copies.

Not only is the mission itself like a thriller, the final battle with the BOSS is even more painful. Sometimes you see your companion is almost out of blood, and then you add blood - wow, it's the BOSS pretending to be, and you directly fill up the BOSS's blood.

If you hit me with a hammer, I'll even want to flip the table.

This mission was very painful for Duanmu Huai, and he suffered from PTSD. So after coming to this world, he only took roles that were close to his own personality, and refused to play any other roles. He didn't want to become a schizophrenic patient who completely lost himself like the God-chosen champion.

Just think about it, a clinging, God-chosen champion, who one foot is pretending to be an NPC grandfather who gives you a task, and the next foot is transformed into a pure country girl lying in your arms, and at the same time, he can also distract himself to play a pole dancer or even a big yellow dog snatching food at the village entrance...

There is no hope for him if his schizophrenia reaches this level. Let's just kill him.

I always feel like I understand Xiao Ai a little bit now.

Looking at Duanmu Huai who was lost in thought, Kurokawa Akane blinked. As a talented actor, Kurokawa Akane had long discovered that when Duanmu Huai was performing, no matter what role he played, she felt that Duanmu Huai was not fully committed - how to put it, just like the player controlling the protagonist in an RPG game.

The protagonist's crying and screaming is the protagonist's business, and the player is just a manipulator without emotions. Duanmu Huai is also like this. Although his performance is full of momentum, Kurokawa Akane can feel that deep in Duanmu Huai's heart, he is cold and ruthless. It's as if he has completely separated himself from the role. Generally speaking, few actors are separated to this extent. After all, even acting is just a means of showing momentum.

Since Duanmu Huai can perform with momentum, there is no need to worry too much about his acting skills.

But...even if they are worried about confusing roles, would most people divide themselves to this extent?

and…………

Thinking of this, Heichuan Chiyin looked at Duanmu Huai beside him again, but this time, the one who appeared in Heichuan Chiyin's eyes was no longer the petite girl with white hair and red eyes, but a tall man with an imposing temperament. Although he couldn't see his appearance clearly, Heichuan Chiyin could feel that he exuded the same aura as Xiaoai.

At the same time, the sound of water came again under his feet. Kurokawa Akane looked down and saw that the mirror-like smooth water surface appeared again at his feet. Then, under the water, a tentacle slowly emerged and reached towards Kurokawa Akane.

Looking at the tentacle, Kurokawa Akane seemed to be hypnotized. She stretched out her right hand and tried to touch the tentacle...

At the moment when Kurokawa Akane's fingers touched the tentacle, the tentacle suddenly stretched forward and tightly wrapped around Kurokawa Akane's wrist. At the same time, Kurokawa Akane was horrified to see cracks appear on the tentacle's skin, and then countless eyeballs squeezed out and stared at her!
"——————!"

"Hmm? What's wrong? Akane?"

At this moment, Duanmu Huai's voice rang out, and the strange illusion in front of Heichuan Akane disappeared again. Instead, what appeared in front of him was Duanmu Huai who was looking at him curiously.

"Ah, nothing, I was just daydreaming."

"I see. Pay attention. The practice for the second act is about to begin."

"Yeah, okay, I got it... Sorry, I need to go to the bathroom."

After saying this, Kurokawa Akane left the practice room, trotted all the way to the bathroom, and then she carefully pulled up her sleeves.

On the fair and slender wrist, there was a bright red mark clearly visible, as if it had been entangled by something.

Is this...more than just an illusion?
