Chapter 1652 Weird Talk Research (I hate eating ginger and garlic)
Everyone is very excited about this research. Yanami even made a statement, saying that she will publish a newsletter with this research theme on Halloween. Well, it seems that she is really addicted to it. Judging from this, Christmas turkey, New Year's rice cakes, and Valentine's Day chocolates will not escape Yanami's clutches.

Although based on Duanmu Huai's understanding of her, I'm afraid that Yanaijian had not let them go before.

Moreover, Yanami took on a lot of responsibilities and said that all the work of organizing and binding the company magazine would be left to her. It was rare for her to be so proactive, and the reason was very simple.

"Kusuke and Karen invited me to their Halloween costume party."

Yana, who was sitting on the chair, looked pale and as if he was about to die.

"One of them wants to play a vampire, and the other one wants to play a devil. They also asked me what I want to play, hahahaha..."

Duanmu Huai felt that seeing Yanai's current appearance, she could just change into mourning clothes and dress up as a female ghost.

Therefore, Yana saw that this was turning grief and anger into motivation, just like white-collar workers working overtime desperately, just to let the busy work force themselves to forget the pain of losing love... Hmm... How to put it...

As long as she likes it.

"But... the Classical Club doesn't have enough members."

Chitanda spoke with some uneasiness.

"Teacher Gan Xia talked to me and said that at least two more people are needed..."

"If it's just the ghost club members, I can get Kana and Ruby in, but don't count on them to participate in club activities. They're busier than me."

"Speaking of this topic, I would like to ask."

At this moment, Banai was eating dried kelp as a dessert after meal, while staring at Duanmu Huai curiously.

"Is it okay for you to come to the club room every day? You should go and build relationships with your classmates once in a while."

"I can't."

"Why? Are you being ostracized?"

"If the dean or the principal came to your classroom, do you think you would relax?"

"Of course this won't work."

No matter how considerate and popular they are, they are adults and elders after all, and ordinary students naturally cannot let go.

"It's the same for me. I'm telling you without exaggeration that when I stay in class, the group of people can only speak in a low voice or use their cell phones to communicate."

"Hey? Why?"

"Because they're afraid that the noise will be too loud and disturb me."

"But Xiao Ai'ai doesn't care about these things."

"I don't care, but people around me don't think so."

Duanmu Huai shrugged his shoulders.

"You know, people around you always think you're heartbroken and want to find you a new partner, but you don't want one, right? The same goes for me. Even if I don't care, other people won't think so. After all, my status is there. If they speak loudly in front of me, it's just like making noise in the train without paying attention to others. They will be regarded as heretics and excluded."

"So exaggerated?"

"It's so exaggerated. The relationship between superiors and subordinates in the entertainment industry is a very serious matter. I can say frankly that in the performing arts department, I am at the top of the pyramid. If I say the snow is white, it is white. If I say the snow is black, it is black. No one dares to resist me."

"Why does it sound like a tyrant..."

Even Chitanda widened her eyes in surprise, staring at Duanmu Huai, and couldn't help but sigh.

"It's even more obvious on set. If you do something that displeases the people above you, they will scold you in front of everyone. Artists with higher status may even slap the artists below them without any reason, saying that it's for the good of the younger generation and that if you dare to resist, you're disrespecting your seniors. I'll beat you up, and you'll have to thank me."

"Wow..."

These words left Yanai speechless.

"Like Chitanda said, my status and position are the same as that of a tyrant. Do you think you would feel comfortable staying next to a tyrant in the class? Even if the tyrant himself doesn't care, there will be people who will take the initiative to jump out and rebuke others in the name of the tyrant. So, staying here is a good thing for me and others."

As he spoke, Duanmu Huai stretched lazily.

"Besides, students from the performing arts department are even harder to talk to."

"Huh? Why?"

"Because we are all artists, we will naturally talk about work. When an artist without a job chats, he hears others complain about the troubles they encountered on the set. Do you think she is complaining? Or is she showing off?"

"Well…………………"

Hearing this, Yanami was speechless. She was very popular in the class. She naturally understood the situation of those small groups, but the performance department was obviously beyond Yanami's expectations.

“The students in the performing arts department seem to be having a hard time as well.”

"Most people rely on their youth to make a living. If they don't become popular before graduating from high school, then they are basically hopeless."

Duanmu Huai shook his head, so he preferred to spend time in the department office rather than in the performing arts department. After all, the others were all competitors, and Duanmu Huai had long since transcended this stage, but it was not that no one tried to get close to him and please him. Just like Duanmu Huai said, even if he was a tyrant, there were many people who wanted to be eunuchs for him. It is said that accompanying the emperor is like accompanying a tiger, but there are also many people who are willing to accompany the emperor, right?
In fact, this is also because Duanmu Huai's status is too high. If he was just a popular artist like Shiranui, it would be fine, but Duanmu Huai has reached the level of being able to promote an artist with just one sentence. If he says he likes an artist, the other party can appear on the show. If he doesn't like an artist, the other party may lose his job.

At this point, everyone else only dared to act according to Duanmu Huai's instructions.

Therefore, Duanmu Huai feels more comfortable in the general department. After all, he has no conflicts of interest with the general department, and Yanami and Chitanda don't seem like they will enter the entertainment industry.

“In fact, it is also difficult to find people for general medicine.”

After learning about Duanmu Huai's situation, Banaijian also told him about his own troubles.

"Because everyone knows that Xiao Ai'ai is here, the boys also want to join in, but I definitely won't let them. Xiao Ai'ai wouldn't like it either."

"Of course."

"As for the girls... well, everyone is scared."

"Fear?"

"Yes, Xiao Ai said it yourself. Although the students in the general department are not as exaggerated about you as those in the performing arts department, you are a popular artist. It is no exaggeration to say that many of them grew up watching the movies you acted in. Participating in club activities with you is too much psychological pressure for many people."

"Then you also... Oh, it's okay."

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

Duanmu Huai looked at Banaijian and wanted to say that she was the same - but after seeing Banaijian happily opening another bag of kelp, he immediately swallowed the words back.

Well, for Yanami, celebrities and the like are obviously not as important as food.

"What about Chitanda?"

"Hey?"

Faced with Duanmu Huai's question, Chitanda was stunned for a moment, then smiled embarrassedly.

"Ah, actually, I'm a little different from Kyouna-san. I know that you're a famous actress, but... I've hardly ever seen any of the movies you've starred in."

"Oh?"

"Because...I don't really like watching movies where people die."

"Oh...I see."

Duanmu Huai nodded. After all, he was acting in horror movies, and people would die in horror movies. Chitanda didn't like watching movies where people died, so she naturally wouldn't watch horror movies.

Duanmu Huai is the opposite of Chitanda. He won't be interested in watching unless several people die.

The two sides have such a big difference in their attitudes towards movies. It seems that Duanmu Huai and Chitanda will never watch the same movie again.

After deciding on the research topic, the next step is to find information. This time, Duanmu Huai volunteered to do it. Although he was not very keen on this, Duanmu Huai knew someone who was keen on it.

That is the master of horror films—Director Shimizu.

So Duanmu Huai called Director Qingshui directly and asked him to help introduce talents and information in this area.

"I was really surprised that you would participate in club activities."

After listening to Duanmu Huai's explanation of the whole story, Director Qingshui on the other end of the phone also laughed out loud, which seemed quite interesting.

"I didn't expect that you, Duanmu Jun, would actually do things that are appropriate for your age."

“The main reason is that this subject matter is quite interesting.”

"Indeed, it's an unprecedented idea to link ghost stories with food. When your research report comes out, remember to send me a copy. Maybe it will give me some inspiration for the next film."

"No problem, I'll leave you a copy when the time comes."

"Well, I'll introduce you to an old friend. He's a folklorist. Many of the movies I made before were made with his help. I think he will be very interested in your research topic."

"Then please."

According to the phone number provided by Director Shimizu, Duanmu Huai contacted the folklorist, who was indeed quite interested in this unique subject matter. So Duanmu Huai agreed on behalf of the Classics Department to visit the other party's home before the holiday.

Originally, it was just a trivial matter, but the reality was not as smooth as everyone expected...

[Sunday, September 22, 15:]

“……………………It’s her! She is the murderer!”

The woman's eyes were red, and she stretched out her hand angrily, pointing at Duanmu Huai who was standing not far away. Hearing the woman's roar, Duanmu Huai sighed helplessly, then opened the guitar case behind him and pulled out the bright red blade.

"It's really troublesome."

Duanmu Huai looked at the people in front of him indifferently, without a trace of emotion in his tone.

"Just kill them all."

Then, Duanmu Huai spoke.
