Conan: I Am Not a Snake Spirit

Conan retracted his thoughts and smiled at Dr. Ali, "If you connect the two songs together, the song "Scarecrow" is indeed a bit scary. No wonder Doctor, your face suddenly became so ugly! But since Brother Chi is impossible I heard a kid singing that song, so it must be just a coincidence!”

Dr. A Li scratched his head and smiled, "Yeah..."

The two looked at each other and smiled, but the strange feeling in their hearts could not be dispelled.

Always felt……

My heart is still a little uneasy.

However, in order to avoid Xiao Ai/Hai Yuan's worries, they should get over the topic as soon as possible.

Haiyuan Ai looked at the stiff smiles of the two of them, and chose to see through rather than tell the truth. He focused his attention on the three children, "You have to wait until the car stops before approaching!"

"yes"

The three children responded happily.

…

"Scarecrow..."

That night, Subaru Okiya listened to Conan talk about his associations during the day, and said thoughtfully, "It's also related to the embankment road. It also involves key words like dusk and crows. It also hides dangers. There are really too many coincidences. A little bit, so much that it’s hard not to care.”

"Yes, although the doctor said that after Brother Chi was born, no children would sing that nursery rhyme on the way to school. It is unlikely that Brother Chi would be like him and hear children singing that song in the evening," Conan looked at his serious analysis and said, "But Jane, the former housekeeper of Brother Chi's family, is also a member of that organization. Brother Chi may have heard something from her or found out some information about the organization from her. Brother Chi cannot be ruled out. That song "Scarecrow" is related to "Seven Children"..."

Okiya Subaru thought silently for a moment, then asked, "Have you ever asked Mr. Chi about this matter? Among the songs he composed, there are very few such eerie songs. Just bring the topic to that song Go on, you should be able to find a chance to ask him why he wrote this horrible song..."

"I mentioned that song to the children today. You can't hide this kind of thing from others. When we had dinner together in the evening, the three of them talked about the song with Brother Chi," Conan said with a trace of emotion on his face. Speechless, "I also asked Brother Chi how he thought of this song at that time. Brother Chi replied that we were in the rooftop vegetable garden. There were crops, scarecrows, corpses, and crows circling in the sky, which reminded him of "Crows in a Wheatfield" by Van Gogh.

""Crows in the Wheatfield"? I remember that there was a large golden wheat field in that painting. The dark blue and black sky above was very gloomy. A large group of black crows were flying low over the wheat fields. The atmosphere was indeed terrifying and depressing, and there was a faint hint of it. Loneliness," Subaru Okiya squinted his eyes and thought, the light from above his head reflected on the lenses of his glasses, "Although there is no scarecrow in the wheat field in that painting, it is a wheat field, so it is not surprising that Mr. Chi thinks of a scarecrow. In addition, , the song "Scarecrow" mentioned at the beginning "go home quickly when the storm is calm", and the sky in Van Gogh's painting did not have lightning, thunder, wind and rain, but there was a sense of calm on the eve of the storm, which was exactly Because of this, people feel depressed. Since the storm is coming, of course that person needs to go home early..."

"Yes, and although there was no body in that painting, a few weeks after Van Gogh painted that painting, he took a pistol to the wheat field and shot himself. The wheat field where Van Gogh committed suicide is different from the painting. The wheat fields in the painting are all located outside the small town of Auvers, so some people think that the painting was Van Gogh's last work before committing suicide. Van Gogh shot himself in the wheat field in the painting," Conan touched with his right hand. He tilted his chin and said thoughtfully, "If Brother Chi had paid attention to topics such as Van Gogh's paintings during that time, then when he saw the corpses among the crops and the crows hovering in the sky, he might indeed think of 'wheat fields and Van Gogh's corpse', and then think of the painting "Crows in the Wheat Field"..."

Okiya Subaru also touched his chin with his right hand, "It feels like it can be explained completely."

"Hmm...but what about the weird sound at the end of the song that sounded like a mix of screaming and tape?" Conan found the point of doubt, "The sound at the end is very scary, and it sounds like a human being found a corpse. , or the screams of seeing death scenes, and the weird sound of music jamming... If that song is describing "Crows in the Wheat Field", and you want to use terrifying sounds to hint at Van Gogh's death, wouldn't it be better to use gunshots? Is it more appropriate to use that weird sound as the ending? Does it refer to someone else’s scream after discovering that Van Gogh was shot? Or is it just to scare the audience..."

Okiya Subaru retracted his thoughts and looked at his computer on the coffee table, "As for the sound at the end of the song, I have actually used software to slow down and analyze it before. In addition to the screams, there are also crows and crows. Do you want to hear the sound of reverb?"

Conan was stunned for a moment, then nodded quickly, "Okay, but... when did you start studying that sound?"

Did Mr. Akai feel that there was something wrong with this song for a long time?

"You would associate the two songs "Scarecrow" and "Seven Children" together, not only because they both mention crows, but also because they are related to "Twilight" because of the doctor's childhood memories, but also because they are both "dangerous" 'Really?" Okiya Subaru didn't answer directly. He spoke calmly and sat in front of the computer to operate it. "The song "Seven Children" about crows is extremely dangerous in your opinion. Organizing those people dressed in black and gathering together like crows is also very dangerous in your mind, and the song "Scarecrow" also foreshadows some kind of danger, so you can't help but mix the two songs Songs connect..."

Conan quickly understood what Subaru Okiya meant, "Mr. Akai has contacted the boss behind those guys before, right? You care about the nursery rhyme about crows, and the tune of "Scarecrow" is weird and terrifying, which will make people more nervous. , and then makes people think of some stressful things, so when you heard this song before, you also thought of "Seven Children."

"Yes, there are actually many songs that mention crows in the world, and there are also some songs with scary and eerie tunes. After all, crows are regarded by some people as messengers of death, and are often used by songwriters in horror songs. I heard When I think of similar songs, I think of "Seven Children"... So, I have thought before that maybe I care too much about that nursery rhyme, which makes me a little nervous, but since I have doubts, it doesn't seem to be possible after confirming it. It was bad, so I found time to slow down and analyze the weird sound at the end of the song "Scarecrow"," Subaru Okiya explained, finding the audio file he had saved, "I listened to it many times afterwards, I didn’t find any secret words hidden in it, but since you’re interested, you might as well come and listen…”

Slow-playing screams, reverb music, and electronic music jams sounded at the same time.

Although Conan had done some mental preparation in advance, he still felt numb after hearing this.

I don’t know how his friends came up with this kind of tune, but the slow version also sounds very human.

The forced elongated screams and music have a spooky and eerie feeling that the normal version doesn't have.

"The human screams above should be found from multiple screams on the Internet as material, and then synthesized into that sound. There are some bloody videos of real screams of humans facing death, so it sounds evocative. I feel uncomfortable." Subaru Okiya waited for the slow-play recording to finish playing, and then began to play the decomposed recordings one by one. "The music was synthesized by making some adjustments to the previous songs and adding some strange noises. I combined those noises It was decomposed one by one, with the sharp and urgent cries of crows and the sound of long metal needles scratching against something..."
