I interpret life in Tokyo

As Madoka Higuchi said, all living beings are in various forms.

It might be an unprecedented rivalry, Kaede Sakakibara couldn't help pondering, is he really sure to pass this round under such circumstances?

"—— Kaede Sakakibara, Yō Uehara—"

The names of the two were reported, and they got up and looked at the helpless Takeda Hiroshi at the same time.

"Sorry brother, let's take a step first." Uehara Yo's smile was a little nervous, even nervous, but it was normal in this state.

Even in late summer, Kaede Sakakibara still felt his fingers were a bit cold. He rubbed the slightly stiff muscles on his face, and he and Yao Uehara followed the pace of the other eight people and waited in front of the gate.

The boy heaved a sigh of relief, passed the gate and turned a corner, and a shocking scene appeared before their eyes.

A chaotic Japanese intersection that looks like it has experienced war. A scrapped Japanese police car just parked by the side of the road. The glass shattered all over the place. The signboard on the side of the road was crooked, and it seemed that it would fall off in a moment. Like falling, thick smoke billowed in the distant building, which looked like it was really on fire.

Sakakihara Kaede couldn't help but be speechless, is this the strength of the prop group?

He had seen Toei's props group during the wildfire in midsummer, but due to the limitations of the subject matter and venue, he could only see the tip of the iceberg.

And the current set is completely made by the props team for this audition.

The shattered walls and the ground blackened by smoke all told of the tragedies that happened in the past.

"Hello." There were a group of judges sitting in the glass room, and one of them said, "As you can see, the scene this time is the Shibuya neighborhood that was destroyed due to the appearance of strange people."

"Ten of you, as a special team sent by the police station, came to stop the weirdo."

He summed up the cause in one sentence, and then talked about the setting.

"Theoretically, the guns you are equipped with cannot cause effective damage to the monsters. Similarly, force strikes cannot cause damage to the monsters. Your only job, or task, is to delay the time and kill the monsters before the monsters destroy the base station. The photos are uploaded to a special network."

The ten people looked towards the field, and there was indeed a building that looked like a military tent inside, and it was estimated that it was the base station he was referring to.

"Of course, you are not the only ten people present." The man said meaningfully, he looked aside, and everyone followed his gaze, and saw a group of people dressed in disheveled faces. Like some refugees, there was blood and ashes on their suits, a large piece of leather pants was rubbed off, and some people's heads were still bleeding.

hiss. . .Isn't this the whole thing about Zombie Rising?

Sakakibara Kaede frowned slightly, no wonder this audition took 10 minutes, the first 10 minutes for introduction and substitution, and the next 10 minutes for the show to start.

"On the table on the right, there are ten sets of equipment for your operation this time."

Everyone stepped forward and looked at the table. In addition to the special police body armor that looked like a hair out of the police station, there were also. . .pistol.

Oh, don't get me wrong, this is not Free America, of course it is impossible to give real guns.

"The pistols provided to you can shoot easter eggs and can slow down the monster's footsteps, but the ammunition is limited, and once it is shot empty, there will be no more supplies."

"The explanation time is 10 minutes in total. By the way, 6 minutes have passed now. The audition time lasted 10 minutes, a total of 10 minutes. After the end, the judges will evaluate your performance. A round of notifications." After talking about the rules given by the staff, the man returned to the glass room and pressed the countdown.

Seeing that the countdown had already started, everyone hurriedly put on their bulletproof vests and began to check their firearms.

The man said before that these are air guns, which can shoot eggs, and the pill is placed next to the bulletproof vest, with a total of 3 magazines.

Sakakibara Kaede stepped forward to touch the slightly cold metal. The tentacles were not dry plastic, but the feel of a killer weapon. He checked the gun like it was on the TV.

He has played paintball guns in the past, or it is more appropriate to call it a real cs.

"Fuck me, are you so skilled, Sakakibara?" Uehara Yao asked in a low voice.

"I learned this in Hawaii." Kaede Sakakibara said skillfully, and he checked the clip.

Generally speaking, there are two types of air guns, but both are very similar. One of the elixirs is eggs. Pour small beads into the magazine and pull the trigger. A magazine can shoot about 20 to 50 rounds of small eggs.The other is more professional, and the slightly larger egg is installed on the shell, and it is loaded and used like a normal firearm.

The air gun here is undoubtedly the former, and the latter is too hardcore.

He checked it, and a magazine can shoot 20 small eggs.

"So exaggerated?" Uehara Yao whispered, "I'll hide behind you in a while."

"This is an audition, can you be so honest?" Sakakibara Kaede reminded helplessly.

He paused, in the memory of his original owner, Kaede Sakakihara seemed to have really been to Hawaii, but he didn't learn guns from his father, which was different from the Shinigami elementary school students.

Sakakihara Kaede learned from his mother.

The ten actors looked at me and I looked at you, all of them had a nervous look on their faces. Even if the rules were told to them, everything ahead was unknown, and no one knew what would happen during the audition.

But even so, they still walked towards the edge of the field.

Sakakibara Kaede stepped on the scorched earth licked by the flames. He held the gun in his right hand. Uehara Yoo raised his head and looked at him. The two of them stretched out their fists at the same time.

The judges saw that the ten people were ready, and as the countdown sounded, the man who had just read the rules made a gesture of affirmation to the staff who were manipulating the lights.

The originally bright venues went dark in an instant, and the buildings in the ruins showed fire from time to time, and the crooked street lamps flickered with pale light.

Like a symphony, the music of one part gradually rises, and the timbre of the other part also slowly improves.

Crying, cursing, and complaining echoed in everyone's ears, as if they were on the street. Ordinary passers-by sat on the ground in ragged clothes. Their expressions were gloomy, as if they had encountered a catastrophe.

The old man was holding on to the crutches and his legs were trembling, but he still insisted on not letting himself sit on the ground.The disheveled but stylishly dressed beautiful woman kept cursing and spitting on the other end of the phone.The little girl in the elementary school uniform hugged the bear doll and cried for her father.

Kaede Sakakibara opened her eyes wide and held her breath.

Goosebumps all over his body instantly stood up.

All of this was so real that it made the boy tremble. Seeing this scene, he had the urge to turn around and run away—anyone knew that nothing good would happen next.

This is human nature, seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages is engraved in the human body.

Hearing the panting sound, Uehara Yao turned his face and looked at his friends who were staring blankly at the scene in front of him. His eyes were full of excitement, fear, and an indescribable anxiety.

"Oh?" The judges used cameras to observe the facial expressions and performances of the actors. The stonemason sitting in the first row raised his eyebrows slightly, and the screen in front of him clearly recorded all the facial expressions of the ten people.

"This actor, he entered the show very quickly."

"Ow!"

The violent roar made everyone's body tremble. Under the light white mist, a strange man dressed in hard armor walked slowly under the street lamp. After all, his mouthparts are quite large, making people think of insects at the first moment.

Sakakihara Kaede raised his gun and shot immediately.

There were two other actors who responded at the same time as him. Under their influence, ten people quickly entered the venue, found cover respectively, and raised their guns to shoot bullets at the strange man.

The strange man's movement seemed to be restrained by the bullet, his movement speed slowed down, and he let out an angry roar.

Sakakibara Kaede shot half of the clips and then hid behind the bunker. He observed the movement trajectory of the weirdo. Sure enough, as mentioned above, the bullets could not cause substantial damage to the weirdo. They were death squads that stalled for time.

"Base station!"

The two yelled at the same time, Sakakihara Kaede nodded to the other yelling, and the latter yelled from a long distance, "Pause shooting, first observe the trajectory of the strange man!"

Uehara Yao breathed out a turbid breath. He just shot an empty clip, but obviously, he did not cause any substantial damage to the weirdo. He rolled over to Sakakihara Kaede, "What to do next."

"As the man said, the base station is the priority." Sakakihara Kaede observed the strange man through the gap in the bunker. After a while, he immediately noticed the screaming passers-by, and his face darkened instantly.

Uehara Yao gasped.

The strange man stretched out his long claws and stabbed at the screaming middle-aged woman.

--Snapped!

His movements were slowed down by the bullet, and Kaede Sakakihara shielded the middle-aged woman behind him, and continued to design deterrents against the weirdo. Uehara's dazzling hands quickly grabbed the hands of passers-by and shouted, "Run."

"Protect the base station and help people escape at the same time."

"Oh!"

The rest of the members helped the passers-by who were slumped on the ground to get up. Uehara Yao quickly came to the military tent, and saw that someone inside was already staring at a timer, and the countdown on it was 5 minutes.

"hiss..."

"There is no other way but to delay."

The two people who had never faced each other quickly came to a conclusion and walked out of the tent one after another.

Enraged by the bullet that didn't hurt or itch, the weirdo let out a roar, raised his arm and swung it down.

Supporting his body with his arms, Kaede Sakakibara made an ugly backflip, narrowly dodging the swing of the weirdo, and he couldn't back away at this time, because behind him was the little girl who was scared to death holding the bear.

"Bastard, look this way!" Uehara Yao raised his gun and shot wildly, trying to attract the attention of the weirdo, and the rest of the people also provided fire support.

The weirdo cast a cold glance at Uehara Yao, quickly turned around and strode towards him, his long tail lashing towards the boy squatting on the ground like a whip.

Sakakibara Kaede gritted his teeth, turned around and hugged the little girl, and took a few steps forward with all his strength, but was finally swept by his tail and pushed her out.

Fortunately, this blow hit his bulletproof vest, seeing the silly look of the little girl in his arms, Kaede Sakakibara quickly waved her to leave quickly.

He checked how many magazines were left, and after taking a look at the situation over there, he quickly joined the battle.

Chapter 4 Let's Learn, Brother

"Clearly organized and quick to enter the play, this actor really shines."

The stonemason rested his pen on his chin. He observed Kaede Sakakibara, who was rolling around in a mess in the room, strictly following the settings to avoid attacks from monsters, and said, "Compared to the disappointment of the first group, the performance of the second group is impressive."

"He was also the first to think of missions and protecting the people." The judges on the side nodded in agreement, and he said, "Even if this actor can't be selected for the leading role, other roles can be considered."

This sentence was recognized by most of the judges. In their opinion, Kaede Sakakibara's acting skills are pleasing to the eye and worthy of attention.

Kiyoshi Takenaka was sitting in the screenwriting group. He raised his head and smiled when he heard the words - he hadn't seen each other in a summer vacation. Kiyoshi Takenaka only knew that the other party participated in a reality show and did not shoot a new TV series or movie. At first, he was still worried about Sakakihara Will Feng's acting skills regress?

The result was far beyond his expectations. Kaede Sakakibara’s acting skills were more mature than Kaede’s auditions in the past. Kiyoshi Takenaka could see the shadows of many people on Kaede Sakakibara. Mai Sakurajima’s facial expression was exaggerated, and Kashima Parade’s movements were like clouds and flowing water. Send acting skills. . .

Has this person learned everything?

Takenaka Kiyoshi's eyes were wide open, not daring to miss a moment, the corners of his mouth were raised high, he was pleasantly surprised by Sakakibara Kaede's progress, it seems that this summer Sakakibara Kaede was not without harvest.

Mature action acting.

This kind of thought appeared in the minds of every judge, and their gazes now followed every move of Kaede Sakakibara. In front of the tense and vital movements, other people became the background at this moment plate.

Terrible concentration, Takenaka Kiyoshi secretly said, everyone's eyes were on him, and he did all this unintentionally, or he didn't have the idea of ​​competing with others for the limelight at all.

There were also a few people in front shouting and giving orders, but the limelight was completely overshadowed by Kaede Sakakibara. Why?

The mason was also thinking about this question, and after a while, he seemed to understand.

Sakakibara Kaede's eyes reflect this world, this real world, this world where weirdos run amok, ordinary people have no power to fight back, this world needs heroes.He is anxious because he wants to save the people, he is desperate because he knows he is a member of the Death Squad, and he is desperate because he has not considered the issue of survival.

In the face of this "reality", any actor who believes in his face but thinks it is a false world in his heart can feel that they are out of tune with this world and have an inexplicable sense of disobedience.

Yes, there were indeed actors who gave orders before.

But neither his tone nor the instructions he gave were too much. . .Generalized, like an observer standing outside the world, directing npcs to fight as a commander.

Such blank words were shattered in front of Sakakibara Kaede, and there was not even a single bit of shelter.

Mason noticed that some of the actors' faces were stiff and embarrassed at this time, and knew that they had failed. They couldn't keep up with Kaede Sakakibara who was completely immersed in this world, and the performance naturally lost its rhythm.

At least, there are still people who can keep up with Kaede Sakakibara.

He glanced at the few people who were following Kaede Sakakibara, nodded slightly, with the corners of his mouth raised high, and he began to laugh.

This kid is a monster.

Not only is he a monster, but he also has the same kind that turns people around him into monsters.

The ringing of the bell echoed crisply in the arena, and the originally dim lights in the room were no longer seen. The staff turned up the lights, and the weirdo stopped in his tracks. He glanced at the traces of the eggs on the armor, and seemed to tap the side of his head in distress.

"call--"

Sakakibara Kaede blinked, and it took him a while to come back to his senses. He was still maintaining the movement of changing magazines. At this time, he lowered his arms and felt soreness all over his body.

After the tension was over, it was time to relax. All ten actors were sitting on the ground panting for breath, and they couldn't say a word.

Sakakibara Kaede put the clips on the ground and took off the bulletproof vest. There were a lot of bullets at the beginning, which caused some people’s clips to be empty near the end. They had no choice but to use small stones to attract strange people. Notice.

It can only be said that fortunately these so-called small stones are made of synthetic plastic, and the armor of Mr. Weird's body is very shockproof, so they did not cause substantial harm to the people inside.

"Thanks for your hard work."

An actor who was following Kaede Sakakibara thanked him softly. He had been following Kaede Sakakibara to buy time for him just now. Unknowingly, he was also brought into this chaotic world. Make him terrified.

Now it seems that he may feel that he was very funny at that time, and he would actually be scared like that because of extras and a person wearing a weird skin-that is to say, but he is still very grateful to Kaede Sakakibara.

At least without Kaede Sakakibara, he would not be able to immerse himself in such a world by himself.

Thinking of this, the actor couldn't help but look at the few actors on the other side of the battlefield with pity who gradually lost their voices after giving orders at the beginning. Their original intentions may be good, but their performance made them different from this scene. out of place.

After the actor's audition, he will have a general understanding of his results. At least Kaede Sakakibara feels pretty good about himself. After nodding and saying goodbye to a group of judges, he and Uehara Yoshiro stretched at the end of the line and walked towards the gate.

"how do you feel?"

"Well... it should be sure." Hearing Uehara Yoko's question, Sakakibara Kaede told the truth that his body still felt a little hot at this time because he was fully active, "At least I think I should be able to pass the first round of auditions."
