The Trickster's Ninth Episode

Chapter 8 Causes of memory loss

Originating from the heart of a person, things without form...turned into real objects...can be brought to reality...

"..." Hearing this, Yu Gonglian turned her attention to the box on the table again.

A noun suddenly surfaced from the bottom of my heart.

"[Secret Treasure]..." Ugonglian said the words that came out of her heart with an uneasy expression.He can only think of [Secret Treasure] for things that meet all the above conditions.

The so-called [Secret Treasure] strictly refers to the [Crystalization of Distorted Desire] of human beings. As long as a certain desire in the heart of any human being becomes extreme and distorted, this strong desire will be transformed into [Secret Treasure] in the inner world. 】.

This desire to form a [Secret Treasure] is usually a means of someone doing evil. For example, in the original story, the first palace lord—Shujin physical education teacher Takumi Kamoshida, his [Secret Treasure] is an Olympic medal. Because of his achievements in the Olympic Games, the school flattered him so much, and he was able to use this to dominate the school.

Secret treasures can be big or small, some innocuous twisted desires of ordinary people, things like eccentricities, although they can also form [Secret Treasure], they have little to do with it.

However, the [Great Secret Treasure] formed by the desires of the treacherous and evil people is different. The existence of the [Great Secret Treasure] will produce a spiritual palace. To a certain extent, the existence of the spiritual palace will radiate around and affect to the average person in this range.

Stealing [Secret Treasure] and making treacherous people [Repent], this kind of behavior of changing other people's hearts, is the main business of the Phantom Thieves.

【Those who are burdened with burning desires and suffering......】

Burning desire... To put it another way, call it desire, it's okay...

"Have I been...changed?" Yu Gonglian stared at the box in front of her in a daze, her brows furrowed deeper and deeper.

"And... before I lost my memory, I knew that I would be changed..."

This is not talking to anyone, just talking to myself.There are too many thoughts and doubts in his heart, and only speaking out can relieve the chaotic feeling in his heart.

However, in this confusion, Yu Gonglian suddenly remembered another thing.

Ren Amamiya raised her head abruptly, looked directly into Yasen's eyes, and stated with hesitation: "I once learned from Saiki Kusuo that there is still room for impressions in this world, right?"

"Ah! But that's not to the extent [occupies the entire underground of Tokyo], it's a huge space that includes the entire earth. According to the information I know so far, this space seems to be a fusion of the digital world and fantasy novels." Town, whether it can be called an impression space, no one can make a conclusion.”

"That is......"

"That's right." There was no need for Ren Yugong to express the guess in her heart, Ya Sen directly gave a positive response.

"That's your palace."

"..."

"..."

Umiya Ren's breathing quickened, and the shocking words confirmed his guess, but even though he had expected it in his heart, this fact still shook his thoughts. Under such circumstances, Umiya Ren and Yasen There was an abrupt silence between them.

"...Heh! Is this a childhood joke come true?" Amamiya Ren forced a smile and said.

Become a master, become the master of the palace.This is his goal in life before knowing that the evil god is gone.But in the final analysis, it was just a manifestation of his unscrupulous desire to be powerful.

Compared with those idealistic superpowers that he knows nothing about, money power is undoubtedly the most real power, and being able to become a hall master with materialistic means is tantamount to indirectly obtaining idealistic abilities, which is comparable to Yu Gonglian. It is much more straightforward to say that forming a bond and tempering the soul.

As a result, this joke-like sentence actually became a reality, making people dumbfounded.

"Speaking of which, under the premise of amnesia, how did you determine that the impression space is my palace?" After the initial complicated mood passed, Amamiya Ren asked Yasen.

"This question... I don't know how to explain it to you. Anyway, I currently have the control over part of the impression space. And if I guess right, you should also have such authority." Yasen thought for a while Said. "And the entire impression space is currently being managed by Satan Yael and his subordinate demons."

"So... There is really no room for discussion and explanation about the attribution of the impression space. The reason why I say this is just because it is a matter of course."

"Satan Yael? Is Satan Yael's current state the same as yours? And you said Zhongmo? Isn't Zhongmo a physical creature? What does it have to do with Satan Yael?"

Zhongmo and shadow are similar but not the same thing. Both Persona 1 and 2 are stories that take place in the real world, not the inner world.The personas manipulated by the protagonists, except for the one awakened by themselves, are all secondary demons who have concluded a contract through the magic circle. .

The protagonists from Persona 3 onwards have [Uninhibited] and can manipulate multiple personas, but those personas are not Zhongma, at most they imitate the powers of Zhongma that once existed. (Note ①)

But as soon as he finished speaking, Amamiya Ren realized again... It seems that his questions will be endless.Now he felt that every word Yasen said would reveal new things he didn't know.

If you continue to ask this question, wouldn't it be like playing Civilization 6?

"Satan Yael is different from me. He doesn't have a human body. Although he can appear in the real world, it will only cause trouble if he appears in that appearance, so he has been staying in the impression space." For Ya Sen, Amamiya Ren asked These all belong to the category of common sense and can be explained casually. "As for Zhongmo, they are indeed all staying in the impression space peacefully and accepting the rule of Satan Yael, probably because Satan Yael's attribute is the king of demons?"

"..." Yu Gonglian took a deep breath after listening, and then let out a long breath.Naturally, a bunch of questions popped up in my heart, but I couldn't ask any more.

When he met Ya Sen today, he obviously wanted to lament about getting rid of the charges, and the game that Yu Gongren was completely ignorant of that mentioned by Guxiang Yuanzhao.As a result, from the meeting to the present, the topic has been going in an uncontrollable direction all the way.

Their conversation lasted only one hour, and Ren Amamiya would go to make breakfast and lunch for Futaba in one hour, and then take the tram to the Tokyo International Exhibition Hall to meet up with her companions from the Manken Society.

"Then, I won't continue to ask for the time being. Let's get down to business." Ugonglian restrained her thirst for knowledge and adjusted her state.

"About the fact that the Yasen Group intends to help me get rid of my charges... It seems that there is nothing to talk about this issue..." Umiya Ren took the initiative to open the topic, and then became speechless.

Originally, Ren Amamiya felt that this issue was worth discussing, which was based on the premise that other people were behind the Yasen Group.

The boss of the Yasen Group is Yasen, so there is nothing worth mentioning about this issue - what promised generous conditions to persuade Kongfu, what collected evidence everywhere and even made trouble at the school, and even used Umiya Ren's conspiracy theory, these issues are all very important. It's no longer a problem.

It is only natural that Yasen would lend a helping hand to Amamery Ren.

"If I don't talk about the previous topic... I don't seem to have anything to say." Yu Gonglian thought about it carefully, and he really has nothing to say. "But you should have other things to ask me, right?"

Ya Sen nodded and did not reply immediately, he took out a stack of papers from his arms and placed them in front of Umiya Ren.

"Here are some contracts I prepared in advance. There are quite a lot of content. Take your time."

☆Appendix☆

Note ①——The difference between Zhongmo and Shadow is actually just a product of official eating books.I rationalized it a bit, and it is inevitable that there will be some magic changes.But after all, the official eats books first, so I am not wrong!

Chapter 9 I deserve myself

The contract... It seems that Motoaki Guxiang mentioned something about making up the contract.

Yu Gonglian remembered that Mr. Yuan Zhao Guxiang who was limped by his boss whom he met just a few days ago was a little curious about what kind of contract Yasen had made for him.

The contracts that Yasen took out are quite thick, there is a small stack, and all of them are divided and placed one by one.

Umiya Ren picked up the top contract and scanned it quickly.

"The dubbing of the "Persona" game...the main character?" Ren Amamiya looked at the contract with a subtle expression, and raised her head to look at Yasen. "Do you want me to match Fujido Naoya or Narumi Yuya?"

"It's about Muji, but it's actually a story about Kaitou. You match Ren Amamiya." Yasen said with a smile on his face. "Or, according to the current situation, changing the character's name to Lai Qixiao is fine."

"...You made this into a game? What do you do with the characters in it? Especially those villains." Umiya Ren asked with a frown. "The rest of the Phantom Thieves are also in a state of amnesia. Do you want to change their names?"

"Change your name? There's no need for that." Yasen sneered and shook his head. "If those people have any opinions, let them come. Of course, the Phantom Thieves are fine. You have to know that they are different from us. Their memories have not been taken away, but only dusty in the contradictory time. .So rest assured that the story doesn't need any changes and no one will feel like we've damaged their reputation."

"Of course, except for Shidou Masayoshi, that guy's situation is really troublesome. After all, even if he doesn't dare to say anything, his subordinates are likely to meddle in other people's business, such as a guy called Owada Jun. After all, It involves politics, and the things involved are very complicated, so it's better to change his name." Ya Sen thought for a while, and said with a bad taste. "Why don't you call him Akahoshi Shuichiro?"

"Akahoshi Shuichiro is okay." It was only at this moment that Amamiyaren realized that this guy in front of her was her, and the name was too sloppy.

This is short of pointing at Shitong Zhengyi and calling Shaar.

But since Ya Sen has said so, Yu Gonglian has no objection to this. It has been mentioned many times. Yu Gonglian does not object to other people's restoration of memory, and even hopes that more people can tell him what happened before. matter.

But even if the name issue is resolved, there are still concerns.

"There are still some plots that are not suitable for restoration, such as the part where Suzui Shiho is suspected of being sexually assaulted by Kamo Shida Takumi, even if Kamo Shida Taku's reputation is damaged, it should be bad luck, but for Suzui Shiho, this kind of turmoil is a bit over Right. And I think it’s better for her not to recover her memory.” Umiya Ren tentatively approved Yasen’s answer, and asked other questions.

"Did you misunderstand something?" Ya Sen heard the words and said in a tactful way. "This "Persona" is not the "Persona 5" you played before time travel."

"This is our story, and this is your story."

"My story..." Yu Gonglian was stunned for a moment, and repeated the sentence again, a little lost in thought for a while.

Does it belong to him, the story of the week?

"Of course, it is impossible for us to give players a character with full five dimensions and full skills, so there are appropriate modifications and arrangements." Mori changed the subject again and turned the topic back to the game itself.

"..." Ren Yugong glanced at Yasen wordlessly, he always felt that every word Yasen said was teasing him.

Simply ignoring him, Yu Gonglian continued to look at the contract in her hand.

The voice acting of the main character in "Persona" sounds amazing, but in fact, he doesn't have many lines...only a hundred or so lines—most of which are persona's name.

First of all, read the entire table of contents of the complete book of Personas, and the rest are short sentences such as [Yoxi] and [Feels good].

It is worth mentioning that in the Japanese seiyuu industry, dubbing games is the lowest income.The income from dubbing games is not even as good as dubbing pachinko slot machines.Not to mention anime and foreign movies.

The second is the grading of seiyuu. In the Japanese seiyuu industry, there is an organization similar to the Hollywood Actors Union. The function of this organization is to protect the rights and interests of seiyuu and divide the remuneration range of seiyuu.Except for very big-name voice actors who can break the upper limit and ask for more money, most voice actors abide by the rules of this union to survive.

First of all, the most realistic point is that the salary of a seiyuu who has been employed and registered for less than three years is 15000 yen for an episode of animation. Even if the seiyuu in this episode has only one line and only two words, the money is not the same as that of a long-winded character. The same, of course, the premise is that the two people have the same level.

This value is the minimum guarantee for voice actors, but at the same time, it also limits the price no matter what level your dubbing skills are within three years.

The above is the remuneration for animation dubbing, while the remuneration for game dubbing is calculated by the number of words. At a more ordinary level, it is usually 100 yen per word.This has led to such a scene in many games-there are obviously many lines in the text, but there are only a few modal particles or interjections in the voice.That is to say, it is not fully dubbed.

Ren Amamiya looked at the remuneration written on the back of the contract - 30000 yen.

It's pretty high.

You must know that according to the above rules, Ren Amamiya has never registered with the voice actor union, he is not even a newcomer voice actor, so the salary can be based on the minimum level of game dubbing - 30 yen per word.

Of course, that being said, he can also choose not to take the job.

The table of contents of the Persona Complete Book plus some short sentences, calculated at 100 yen per word, 30000 yen is quite satisfactory, which is a moderate level of compensation.

Ren Amamiya didn't think too much about this job, so she just took it.Although Ren Amamiya has repeatedly emphasized that she has no voice actor skills, but she doesn't need skills to do this!

Not to mention that he matches himself, even if he really can't match, there is a ready-made version of Jun Fukuyama in his memory that can be used as a reference.

It didn't take Ren Amamiya much time to read the first contract. This dubbing contract is too standard. As one of my own people, I don't even have any partiality. I really can't fault it.

Then Umiya Ren put the dubbing contract aside and looked at the next contract.

"Huh?" Amameiya Ren was stunned at the beginning of this second contract.

This is an artist contract.

Yu Gonglian raised her head, looked at Ya Sen with a strange expression, and said, "You want to sign Qi Xiao?"

Yasen was also taken aback by Yu Gonglian's question. He looked at Yu Gonglian in disbelief, and asked: "Otherwise? You have already made your debut. If I don't sign you, where do I get the portrait rights? How can I use this?" ip for games?"

Yu Gonglian was also stunned, so have you considered this matter?

A word of complaint blurted out.

"Then don't you have to consider the portrait rights of other characters?"

"Yup!"

"..." Ren Yugong silently gave Ya Sen a thumbs up.

you are awesome.
