Conan: I Am Not a Snake Spirit

"Okay, then I'll play the piece together to the end, and you sing it from beginning to end."

As Chi Feichi spoke, he began to play the tune again.

Hui Yuanai sang the lyrics one by one, thinking about whether he made a mistake in singing the whole time, and didn't have the time to pay too much attention.

Okiya Subaru could hear something different, sat on the sofa, bowed his head in silence and lost his mind.

Chi Feichi waited for Hui Yuan to finish singing, and then said, "Familiarize yourself one last time, and then rest at noon."

Hui Yuanai heaved a sigh of relief, listened to Chi Feichi's prelude, and sang along.

Perhaps it was because he had sung it once before, and he was no longer unfamiliar with the song, or maybe he was about to take a break, Hui Yuanai was much more relaxed than before, and did not pay too much attention to singing skills and details, and put some thought into the song itself.

"There is no way to go, there is no way to escape, I only hope that the birds in the sky will take this sorrow away..."

"This is the narrow space between life and death, the eternity that binds me, traveling to and from the world of mortals, but a dream..."

"This is the narrow space between life and death, the eternity of weaving the world, traveling between the world of mortals, only a few breezes left, stop for a while, let me shed tears for myself..."

Okiya Subaru looked at the brothers and sisters in front of the piano, his expression was more focused than before, but the glasses under the glasses were narrowed, but he didn't pay too much attention to the real things, and he really walked away.

The time he listened to it just now, he just felt that the lyrics of "Can't Escape" and "Life and Death" should make Shirley, who has a smaller body and temporarily escaped the pursuit, but can't completely get rid of the pursuit, feel more touched.

After listening to it this time, he actually couldn't help imagining a picture - a little girl standing on the desolate land, the grass leaves withered, and she was alone, her immature face was mature and calm that didn't match her age, when she raised her eyes to the sky, her eyes There is a numbness in it that has seen too much crime, and there is a trace of sentimentality that even I can't detect.

Softness and indifference, sentimentality and numbness merged at this moment, creating a special and harmonious aesthetic feeling.

He was worried that when watching cartoons in the future, as soon as he heard this song, he would think of this picture, and then he would not be able to return to the animation content...

The piano sound stopped, and Hui Yuanai looked at the black and white keys on the piano, unable to recover for a long time.

Listening to the melody and singing this song slowly, she would think of the organization's pursuit, the death of her sister, and the fact that she could only hide in the gap between life and death. She felt a little sad and sad, but Brother Feichi said, She needs to make her singing sound calm and stable. She can stay calm and remember that her current task is to sing this song well, so she can finish singing steadily.

She was proud of her calmness, but also hated it a little bit, so that her heart felt a little depressed.

Chi Feichi reached out and turned off the recording device, and said sadly to Hui Yuan, "This time it sounds good, I will send the recording to the company after dinner, and let someone deal with the post-production and add the soundtrack to it. If possible, this song The song is finished."

Hui Yuanai came back to his senses, went through Chi Feichi's words in his mind, and reminded seriously, "Many band lead singers have to practice a new song hundreds of times before singing, and artists who are about to release new songs also need Repeated practice, I only sang the whole song twice, is it too hasty?"

"If you are not at ease, you can record a few more versions and choose the best one," Chi Feichi stood up from the piano, "However, I think what you sang just now is already very good, and you may not be able to sing in the future." In such a good state."

"I also think that Xiao Ai sang very well just now," Koshimizu Nanatsuki thought with downcast eyes, "I don't know if it's my illusion, the song is so gentle and calm, but I can hear depression from it, wanting to achieve This effect should not be easy..."

"The singer needs to sing calmly and steadily, and he is also suppressing his emotions, so the song will be a little depressed," Chi Feichi explained to Nanatsuki Koshimizu, "That's not what the singer or the song expresses. Depression, but the depression that naturally arises in the audience's heart when they listen to it."

Haibara Ai:"……"

In other words, the depression and aggrievedness in her heart when she sang was all expected by Brother Feichi? Did Brother Feichi realize that her calmness could be used?

"Xiao Ai is the kind of personality that is easy to calm down. She is usually self-disciplined and restrained. Whether it is asking her to dub Yan Moai or singing this song, she can give full play to her advantages and achieve the effect I want. ..."

Chi Feichi immediately said the words that made Huiyuan Ai feel speechless in his heart, "It really is so", and said, "However, I am also more worried that Xiao Ai will be affected, and I can't get rid of the psychological depression. She does the voice acting and singing."

Hui Yuan mourned Chi Feichi's disapproval of her dubbing attitude at the beginning, and then turned his heart wide, "When I sang, I felt a little stuffy, but now that the songs are all over, the stuffy Of course the feeling is gone, and I am not so easily affected..."

The four of them didn't chat a few words, and the lunch ordered by Koshimizu Nanatsuki was delivered to the door.

After lunch, Chi Feichi sent the recording to the company, and Hui Yuanai read the examination report sent by the hospital, rested for an hour, sat back in front of the piano, and continued to practice the second song with Hui Yuanai.

The practice in the afternoon was not as smooth as the morning.

Huiyuan Ai also sang accurately and familiarly with each line first, and then sang the whole song together. Although he could sing the sound accurately, it was difficult to get into it, and he couldn't enter the morning's "unity of people and songs" I practiced it a few times, but because of mental fatigue, the more I sang, the more I felt dissatisfied.

Chi Feichi saw that Hui Yuan Ai was not in shape, and announced the end of today's practice, so that Hui Yuan Ai could have a good rest.

Huiyuan Ai also finally understood how rare it was for her in the morning. After listening to the songs completed by the company's post-production, she decided to use the version recorded in the morning for "Rough Seam", and no longer toss about re-recording and singing.

Okiya Subaru stayed until the evening and had a meal of Chinese home-cooked food before saying goodbye. Before leaving, he also suggested that Chi Feichi and Koshimizu Nanatsuki could stay at Dr. Ali's house at night.

Hui Yuanai originally thought that Chi Feichi would not agree, but Chi Feichi decided to stay overnight at the same place regardless of whether he wanted to or not.

Chi Feichi's reason is simple and irrefutable - I'm tired and don't want to run around!

...

The next morning, Dr. Ali, who was supposed to lead the team back, called and said that he had encountered an incident in Yamanashi Prefecture. If the matter could not be resolved before the afternoon, he might not be able to return until night.

"Yes...you don't need to worry, you must pay attention to safety when driving at night. If it doesn't work, just stay there for another night. If the accommodation fee is not enough, I can use the Internet to transfer the money to you, and it will be treated as my advance payment. Advance payment... is that right? Since Edogawa is sure, let him settle the matter as soon as possible... Brother Chi?"

Hui Yuanai held the receiver of the landline in his right hand, turned his head to look at the back of Chi Feichi sitting on the sofa, and said to Dr. Ali on the other end, "Yes, he and Miss Nanatsuki are still here... His physical examination Everything is normal, but I still can't get my spirits up...Special products? You decide for yourself...We will wait for you to come back."

The phone hangs up.

Hui Yuanai put the receiver back on tiptoe, turned around and walked to the sofa.

Koshimizu Nanatsuki sat sideways on the sofa, holding a white cat puppet in his right hand, facing Chi Feichi, moving the fingers of his right hand, making the white cat puppet bow and wave, in a tone of coaxing children Said, "Look, the kitten is saying hello to you, it is telling you, good morning, the weather is so nice today..."

Haibara Ai:"……"

Nanatsuki-san will definitely be good at coaxing children in the future, but...

"▼▽▼"

She asked Miss Nanatsuki to test Brother Feichi's concentration. Why did it become like this?

Chi Feichi stared at the puppet on Koshimizu Nanatsuki's right hand, and remained silent expressionlessly.

The cause of the matter should start from this morning.

This morning when he stepped into midsummer, he woke up very early. Even though the desire to lie flat and stay in bed was stronger than the day before, it was still defeated by his uneasy habit of being unwilling to be controlled and restless.

It's just that the 'trance' symptoms that he had had yesterday didn't ease with a night's rest, but became more serious.

During the wash, he lost his mind after brushing his teeth. He lost his mind for about three seconds before Feichi called him back.

Then it was time to make breakfast.

He woke up more than ten minutes earlier than Yue Shui and Xiao Ai. While the two girls were washing up, he wanted to cook three bowls of noodles for breakfast, but when the water was almost boiled, he lost his mind again. , He neither cooked the soup nor the noodles.

When he came back to his senses, Yue Shui and Xiao Ai were already standing in front of him.

That kind of experience was amazing, he didn't feel the passage of time, he just blinked his eyes, the water in the pot was already bubbling, and Yue Shui and Xiao Ai, who were supposed to be in the bathroom, suddenly appeared in front of him .

Because of this, Yue Shui and Xiao Ai dared not let him cook breakfast.

But during breakfast, while reading the newspaper, he lost his mind once more.

Yue Shui and Xiao Ai thought that he was concentrating on reading the newspaper and did not disturb him, so that his distraction lasted for nearly three minutes.

In the end, it was the two girls who noticed that he was always staring at the same page of the newspaper and called him twice in succession, which brought him back to his senses.

As time went on, the influence of the 'sin of laziness' on him seemed to become stronger and stronger.

Today, the duration and frequency of his trance are much more than yesterday. This kind of trance is more like the brain is "lazy" on its own initiative, starting to enter a light sleep state regardless of time and occasion.

In short, Yue Shui and Xiao Ai wanted to confirm his situation after discovering that he would suddenly lose focus.

Before it even started, the landline in the house rang, Xiao Ai went to answer the phone, only Yueshui at his house was left, looked left and right, took a hand puppet from the corner of the sofa, and then, a series of childish and strange things began. the operation of...

(￣-￣“)

What the hell is Yue Shui trying to do...

If he doesn't cooperate, I don't know if Yue Shui will be disappointed or angry...

After much deliberation, he decided to cooperate and treat himself as a temporary partner to accompany Yue Shui to practice the skill of "telling children stories".

Yueshui Nanatsuki waved and waved at Chi Feichi with the kitten puppet, and he was very involved in playing, "The sun is so warm outside, should we go to the park to play?"

Huihara Ai looked at Koshimizu Nanatsuki's expression full of interest, then shifted her gaze to Chi Feichi, and found that Chi Feichi was staring at the puppet very seriously and devotedly, raising his hand to his forehead.

Leaving aside whether Miss Nanatsuki's behavior is immature or not, Brother Feichi really looks like a well-behaved and attentive child at the moment...

So, something must be wrong in today's world, right?
