Canary of the gods

It has only been a few days since the death of the previous supporting actor, and today the leading actor died again, and what a coincidence, they all died silently in their sleep.

The crew couldn't help but began to suspect that there was some kind of death curse on their crew or this place.

However, Osamu Dazai provided the police with the recording of the prisoner's self-confession and the information of the 31 victims investigated by the detective agency, and finally attributed the two death incidents of the actors on the crew to the crimes committed by people with different abilities.So the "curse of death" that hadn't been spread by the crew was strangled in the cradle.

Knowing that the deaths of the two actors were man-made, and that the murderer himself died due to the side effects of the supernatural power itself, the crew members were a little relieved.

But the director was worried.

The actor who didn't appear on the scene had an accident, and he could be played by another person, but the plot has developed to the middle, and the most important actor in the whole TV series is gone. What should we do?

One temple repair is not worried at all.

After all, he has been chasing this drama recently, as long as he still wants to watch it, then this drama will definitely not die due to accidents.

Sure enough, after the worst period passed, the crew found a leading actor and supporting actor again, and even the issue of sponsors was resolved.

The reason for finding a supporting role is that Ichijo Temple is just a member of the detective agency who came to investigate the murder of a person with supernatural powers. After the case is over, he has no intention of continuing to act, so although it is a pity, the director has to give up the idea of ​​persuading him to continue acting.

After the male lead incident happened, the crew naturally wanted to hide the news.So after resting for a while to avoid the limelight, the crew simply announced the casting.

There are more people to choose from. Although the supporting actor took a little longer, it was finally decided.And the male protagonist didn't know if it was a coincidence, this person happened to be the newcomer brought by Lisong's manager.

After Jiyi Yiji told this matter to Dazai Osamu, the latter laughed and said: "Mutual benefit and win-win."

"?" A temple monk was confused, but Osamu Dazai obviously didn't intend to continue explaining. When the topic changed, he brought his attention to other things.

Of course, that's all for later.

Right now, everyone in the detective agency is talking about the "man-eating tiger" incident that has been rumored to be more and more exaggerated recently.

"Is it called 'man-eating tiger' because someone has already been attacked?"

"It's just a rumor, and it hasn't been confirmed yet. But it's true that the guy has been moving to Yokohama, because the witnesses in the recent period are indeed getting closer and closer. Didn't he be spotted four days ago? Has that guy appeared in Tsurumigawa?"

"So in recent days, the army and the police have sent a lot of people to patrol the streets, just because they are worried that man-eating tigers will attack the people."

"It's no wonder that when I passed by the river bank recently, I could still see military police queuing up."

Everyone talked about the information they currently have.

Jojoji asked Dazai Osamu: "Did the detective agency receive any commission related to 'Man-eating Tiger'?"

"They haven't received a formal entrustment yet, and they're still asking their superiors for advice. It's just that a familiar police officer revealed that the matter has almost been settled, so let's make preparations first and leave room for work."

"Oh." A temple cultivator nodded, indicating that he understood.

"But having said that." Osamu Dazai changed his voice, and suddenly brought up something else with Ji Yijiu, "These commissions were taken by Xiu and I together. Why don't you try the next commission by Xiu alone?"

"Okay, what entrustment?" A priest had no objection.

Dazai Osamu gave him a mysterious smile, and then shouted at Kunikida Doppo who was on the opposite desk: "Kunikida-kun? The commission from the publishing house last time..."

"Why are you yelling so loudly? I can hear you!" Kunikida Doppo withdrew his attention from the computer screen, pushed his glasses to look at Osamu Dazai, and said inexplicably, "But... are you sure you want Xiu to do this commission? "

"Is there any problem?" Osamu Dazai blinked his eyes and said innocently, "The request is very simple, it should be hard to fix it."

"..." This guy did it on purpose!

Kunikida Doppo couldn't help covering his forehead.

"What's wrong?" A priest looked around, but didn't understand what kind of charades they were playing, so he asked directly, "What's wrong with the commission from the publishing house?"

"It's not a big problem, the main thing is..."

"A new novel???"

Si Xiu was shocked after hearing the whole story, would their detective agency still accept this kind of business?

Dazai Osamu took out three books as if conjuring, and waved them in front of Jiyi Jishu, "It's Mr. Cotton Candy, a well-known up-and-coming novelist recently. These are his works. I have written two books in less than a year." There are two novellas and one novel in serial, but it has been discontinued for two months, alas!"

A priest took the three books over, and couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth when he saw the titles, ""The Shell Family's Mushroom House Construction Plan", "The Adventures of the Rainbow Dwarf", "Kaleidoscope of the Son of the Sea: Mysterious "Mechanical World"... What is this? Children's literature?"

"No." Osamu Dazai snapped his fingers and said to Yi Yijiu, ""The Shell Family" tells the story of a down-and-out nobleman who leads his family and friends to resist the invasion of alien races, and finally builds the first city in the mainland; "Rainbow Dwarf" It tells the story of seven geniuses who were cursed and became short. In order to lift the curse, they embarked on a journey to find the truth; "Son of the Sea" tells the story of a middle school boy who was chosen by heaven and came to a different world through the gate of time and space .”

He clicked on the last book "Son of the Sea", "This is a long novel. The first volume of 'Mechanical World' is currently published, and the second volume is still being serialized. But the problem is, Mr. Cotton Candy has just serialized it. In half a month, the update was discontinued. The reason given by the publisher was that the teacher went out to collect materials in order to find inspiration."

One Sixiu casually opened a book and flipped through it. After reading a short paragraph at the beginning, he found that it was really well written.

"In this case, why do you have to entrust us to make a special trip to remind us? It's only been two months. If you don't have inspiration, you may not be able to produce your work in half a year." A temple repairer can understand the situation of facing a blank canvas when there is no inspiration. distressed.And if you hold back hard, you can't hold back good works at all.

"I had this experience myself. Before I moved to Yokohama, I traveled abroad for a year in order to find inspiration for painting."

"Hmm..." Osamu Dazai pondered for a moment, and stabbed the knife in the man's knee with a natural expression, "Then I haven't seen Xiuhuahua recently, is it not because I have become obsessed with TV dramas, but because I have no inspiration?"

A temple cultivator: "...don't change the subject."

"Okay~" Osamu Dazai swayed from side to side like a child with ADHD, and the office chair "creaked" from his tossing.

Kunikida Doppo: "The reason for this is this. At the beginning, the cotton candy teacher said to stop for a week, and after a week passed, he said that he would stop for half a month, and after half a month, he said that he would stop for another month. And obviously, a month later, he still didn't update, this time it was even more ruthless, and he asked for leave for half a year."

A temple cultivator: "..."

Osamu Dazai added: "And this Marshmallow teacher is also a person with supernatural powers. His editor has nothing to do with him, so he has to come to the detective agency for help."

"..." A temple cultivator was puzzled, "But he just postponed the update indefinitely. Is it necessary to come to the door and entrust a detective agency for help?"

Osamu Dazai sat back on the chair, put his hands on the back of the chair, and said slowly: "Don't worry, just listen to me."

A priest raised his chin, motioning him to speak quickly.

"According to the client, he called the teacher's mobile phone to remind the manuscript, but the result was that the other party was not in the service area. No one answered the phone at home, and he didn't hear that Mr. Cotton Candy had plans to travel far recently, so he went directly to the door. Visited...do you know what he saw on the gate of Mr. Cotton Candy's house?"

"what?"

A priest listened fascinatedly, and couldn't wait to press on.

What kind of suspense film classic opening!

Could it be that his editor found the kidnapping letter on his doorstep?Even... Bloody fingerprints? !Perhaps, this is actually a kidnapping case targeting an emerging novelist, or a strange disappearance case with unknown reasons? !

A temple repairer couldn't help but start to diverge his thinking and think wildly.

And the more he thought about it, the more upright the expression on his face became. In the end, he held his breath and looked at Dazai Osamu very seriously, waiting for him to give the following text.

Osamu Dazai: "As a result, he found out..."

Well, found out...

Osamu Dazai: "I found out..."

"..." This bastard, did it on purpose!

"If you're so free, mark the locations where the 'Man-eating Tiger' has been seen so far on the map, and guess where it might appear next!"

Next to him, Kunikida Doppo couldn't stand it any longer, and directly ordered the unscrupulous cat-teasing Osamu Dazai to do business.

When Osamu Dazai wanted to say something, Kunikida Doppo took the lead and said, "Don't let Xiu do it for you!"

"Yes--" Osamu Dazai responded casually, kicked his legs, and the office chair led him back to his desk with a clatter.

Then, Kunikida Doppo turned his head to look at a temple repair, and said bluntly: "His editor found a postcard on the gate of his house, which was left by Mr. Cotton Candy himself, saying that he would delay it for another six months, but The reasons he gave were a little off-putting."

A temple cultivator: "What?"

Kunikida Doppo: "I'm going to another world to collect materials."

A temple cultivator: "..."

But wait.

Different world?

Is it...

Ji Yijiu suddenly glanced at Osamu Dazai.

Coming and going to another world is indeed a ridiculous thing for others, but Osamu Dazai should know that Jijiu Ichijo himself is a visitor from another world.

So...the entrustment to Osamu Dazai to do it, is there any special inside story?

Before Ichijoji could continue to think about it, Kunikida Doppo suddenly handed him a postcard.

"Oh, by the way, this is the postcard he left behind at that time."

A temple repairer took a look and found that there was indeed a sentence "I went to another world to collect materials" on it, followed by countless cheerful tilde numbers.

However, when he saw the inscription on the lower right corner of the postcard, his eyes widened involuntarily.

It was a cartoon villain with a hedgehog head, squinting eyes, and under the corner of his left eye, there was an imprint of an inverted crown.

Another world, the imprint of the inverted crown...

This guy, could it be that...

At that moment, a temple cultivator's eyes became a little dim.
