In fact, Duanmuhuai doesn't really like acting on stage.

The reason is simple. Stage plays are different from movies. In movies, you can use close-ups or small props to show the psychological characteristics of characters.

But on stage, because what the audience can see is limited, the emotions must be expressed in an exaggerated way. Otherwise, the people behind will not be able to figure out what the actors on the stage are actually doing.

Well, to put it bluntly, this kind of performance feels a bit like the patients in a mental hospital coming out to have fun, which is somewhat--awkward.

However, now that I have accepted it, I still have to do what needs to be done.

A week later, the meeting for the "Tokyo BLADE" stage play was finally about to begin, and Duanmu Huai naturally followed Arima Kana and Kurokawa Akane to the venue. At this time, the venue was already full of people, and both parties quickly greeted each other. Basically, the cast this time was divided into two groups, one part was a member of the theater troupe LALALAI, and the other part joined from outside.

Duanmu Huai and Arima Ganai fall into this category.

In addition, there are the heads of stage companies, scripts, directors and...

"Kichijoji-sensei, long time no see!"

Looking at the woman wearing glasses in front of her, Arima Kana also greeted her enthusiastically. This woman wearing glasses was none other than Yoriko Kichijoji, the original author of "Imami". Because of the great success of the TV series "Kona Sweet", Kichijoji's original manga has also been sold out. As the original author, Kichijoji obviously likes this kind of faithful adaptation of the original work, so he has a good relationship with the protagonists.

He even invited them to his home for dinner.

"Hello, Miss Arima!"

Teacher Kichijoji also smiled and clapped his hands with Arima Kana, and then said hello to Duanmu Huai and Kurokawa Akane.

"Miss Ai and Miss Kurokawa haven't seen each other for a long time."

"Ah, hello."

"Hello, Mr. Kichijoji, why are you here today?"

"Ah ha ha ha..."

Hearing Kurokawa Akane's confused inquiry, Teacher Kichijoji smiled bitterly, then stretched out his hand and pulled a petite woman hiding behind him.

"Actually, I came with her. This is Teacher Abiko, the author of "Tokyo BLADE"!"

"Hello, you guys..."

Although she is a popular cartoonist, Abiko feels more like a squatter at home who is not good at words. She stared at the ground with wandering eyes and said to everyone in a voice that was almost like a mosquito. Okay, then I hid behind Kichijoji-sensei again.

“………………………………”

How can I put it this way? Cartoonists are really unique.

"Actually, Teacher Abiko is here today for important matters."

Teacher Kichijoji also whispered to Duanmu Huai, Arima Kana and others at this moment.

"She read the script of "Tokyo BLADE" before and heard that the white ghost was going to appear? So she came here specifically to see who would play the white ghost... Is there really anyone who wants to play the role?"

"ah……………"

Arima Kanae and Kurokawa Akane also suddenly realized when they heard this. Then they looked at Duanmuhuai with a wry smile, and Teacher Kichijoji also turned his attention to Duanmuhuai, and couldn't help but be stunned.

"Wait a minute, Miss Ai, are you going to play the role of White Ghost? Well, your image is indeed very similar to White Ghost, but... you know, White Ghost's weapons are somewhat special. Teacher Abiko is in this aspect again The kind that is particularly fussy..."

"Don't worry, Kichijoji-sensei."

Duanmuhuai gave a thumbs up to Teacher Kichijoji.

"I promise it'll be fine, just keep an eye on it."

"Ah, well...if you say so, then I'm looking forward to your performance."

Although Teacher Kichijoji is still a little worried, since Duanmuhuai has said so, she can only wait and see.

After introducing themselves, the script was distributed to everyone and their roles were defined, and the director also explained it to everyone.

"...That's the specific situation. Do you have any other comments?"

"I have."

At this moment, a sleepy-eyed man with glasses raised his hand. He looked unattractive, but as the saying goes, a person cannot be judged by his appearance. This young man who looked like he had just come back from an all-nighter at the Internet cafe to catch up on his sleep, with a sleepy look on his face, was the ace actor of the theater company LALALAI, who starred in Yue 9 and won the Empire Drama Award for Best Actor———— Daiki Himekawa.

This time, he is responsible for playing the leading role in "Tokyo BLADE".

"Hey, Dahui? What's the problem?"

"The final scene is based on the comics, with both of us fighting against the White Ghost, isn't it? I doubt whether this effect can be achieved..."

Sure enough, not only the original author, but also the actors had the same idea in their hearts. After all, the setting of the white ghost is too exaggerated and it is impossible for ordinary people to achieve it.

When the director heard Himekawa Daiki's inquiry, he chuckled.

"I guessed you would ask this... Hey, bring the things up!"

Under the director's shout, two staff members pushed a flatbed truck into the venue, and placed on the flatbed truck was an extremely thick mace that was more than two meters long.

This is the White Ghost's weapon - Ghost Fang.

"This is the weapon of the white ghost."

"It looks really impressive up close."

At this moment, other actors also gathered around, looking at the mace curiously. One of them reached out and grabbed the handle and lifted it up.

"Wow—it's so heavy, I can't lift it at all!"

"Get out of the way, let me try."

Then a muscular actor walked forward, stretched his body, then reached out to grab the handle and lifted it up—————!

"Wow... Oh oh oh oh oh!"

Then everyone saw that the huge mace barely left the flatbed truck for a few centimeters, and then... fell down again with a "bang".

"No, director, this thing can't be used at all!"

"Hahahaha."

Seeing everyone looking at him, the director laughed and turned to look at Duanmu Huai.

"Leave it to you."

"Oh."

Duanmu Huai nodded and came to the flatbed truck. Seeing Duanmu Huai coming out, everyone was somewhat surprised. After all, in this world, Duanmu Huai's body was really fragile. At first glance, it looked like he would fall down if the wind blew. Moreover, this mace was taller than her. Even the strongest person in the troupe couldn't lift it. Could Duanmu Huai lift it?

So they watched Duanmu Huai walk out of the crowd, stretched out his right hand, grabbed the handle of the mace, and then---he lifted it up so easily.

"????"

Seeing this, everyone's first reaction was to rub their eyes subconsciously, as if they were collectively dazzled. However, no matter how much they rubbed their eyes and blinked, they could still see Duanmu Huai carrying the mace easily, as if the latter was made of plastic foam and had no weight at all.

"Wait, wait, how is this possible? Is it wrong?"

The muscular actor before also came over and stretched out his hand to grab the mace in surprise.

"Wu——No, I can't lift it at all. How can you have so much strength?"

"I know a little bit of Kung Fu."

"Hey? That's amazing. Kung Fu can do this."

"Of course, not only that......"

As he spoke, Duanmu Huai suddenly raised his hand, and the mace that everyone had tried so hard to lift just now was thrown into the air by him. Seeing this scene, everyone was frightened and stepped back. At the same time, Duanmu Huai jumped into the air. Then he rushed to the ground with the mace!

"Bang!!!"

Accompanied by a tinnitus-like collision, the huge mace fell vertically to the ground, and Duanmu Huai stood on it.

At this moment, everyone could only see the petite girl standing on the mace slowly opening her eyes, revealing her scarlet eyes.

At this moment, a kind of unspeakable tension and pressure suddenly broke out, sweeping the entire venue!

"This..."

"Woo...!"

At this moment, the actors who felt Duanmu Huai's eyes all looked solemn and tense, as if they were not in the performance venue at this moment, but in a battlefield full of killing. What they held in their hands was no longer a script, but a real sword!

In front of them was the most powerful enemy they had ever encountered!

"So powerful..."

Feeling this terrifying pressure, Arimakana trembled with excitement. Although she had played against Duanmu Huai in "Today's Sweetness" before, Duanmu Huai did not show such power at that time. And now, she finally felt the terrifying momentum exuded by Duanmu Huai, which even made people feel cold all over!

"Is this Xiao Ai's true momentum...?"

At the same time, not far away, Kurokawa Akane also clenched his hands and placed them on his chest. She could feel her heart beating violently. Unlike the previous TV series, this time, Kurokawa Akane finally felt Duanmu Huai's violent, surging, and unparalleled pressure!

The flashing sight in those scarlet eyes was staring at everyone present like a substance. Even if she didn't pay special attention to someone, Kurokawa Akane could feel a sense of crisis, as if she was waiting for death in despair and fear in front of the bloody mouth of a beast.

Not only that...

"Woo---!"

A noise suddenly came from her ears, and everything she saw flashed in Kurokawa Akane's eyes. The next moment, the person who appeared in front of Kurokawa Akane was no longer the petite girl standing on the mace, but a taller and terrifying man wearing black armor. In the backlight, Kurokawa Akane couldn't see his face clearly, but even so, the tension that came from nowhere still bound Kurokawa Akane's body tightly.

"Hua La La La..."

There was a sound of water at her feet. Kurokawa Akane looked down, and then she was surprised to find that under her feet, it was not a smooth floor, but a smooth mirror-like water surface. Under the dark water, something was surging and circling below... Then, she saw it.

Hidden in the dark water was a huge...

"——————!"

The pressure that almost froze her soul disappeared in an instant, and Kurokawa Akane suddenly raised her head. At this moment, she was like a drowning person who was about to suffocate and finally poked her head out of the water, gasping for air. When she raised her head, she saw Duanmu Huai had jumped off the mace and gestured to everyone.

"How is it? Is it okay?"

"Great! It's really great! Just act like this! It's decided, just follow this feeling!"

The director clapped his hands desperately, his face flushed with excitement.

"You should also remember this feeling! Do you understand?"

"Yes!"

"Yes............"

Kurokawa Akane also responded, but at this moment, her mind was not on acting at all.

What happened just now...?

Was it an illusion?

Or... something else?
