Chapter 929: Story
"Meng Huo, Meng Huo..."
I don’t know how long I had been sleeping, but Meng Huo felt someone shaking his arms. He opened his sleepy eyes and the dark night sky reflected in his sight. In just a moment, when he saw the scene in the night sky, the sleepiness in his mind immediately disappeared.≧
"So beautiful..." In the night sky, shining meteors with small tails passed by, with amazing numbers. Compared to waiting several minutes before going to see a meteor, the sky now looks extremely gorgeous.
"Right, now is the most spectacular time for the meteor shower, you can't miss it."
Hearing the familiar laughter, Meng Huo took his gaze back from the night sky, and noticed Alice and Shen Jie beside him. It was obvious that they woke him up. Alice put the drink in Meng Huo's hands: "Give it, drink some water."
Meng Huo sat up and took the water: "What time is it now?"
Alice smiled and said, "At two o'clock, now in half an hour, hundreds of meteors will fly past here..."
"You have to sleep, but you can't miss this half hour." Chen Jie said: "It's good tonight, whether it's time or the weather. If you miss this opportunity, we may never see such a beautiful meteor shower in our lives."
Meng Huo looked at the night sky with envious expressions. This meteor is indeed worth looking forward to. No wonder so many people are obsessed with and waiting. The spectacular and magnificent meteor shower is the best gift on the first night of the carnival.
"Did you never sleep?" Meng Huo asked the two women while looking at the night sky.
"No, we've been waiting for you for this time." Alice stood up and sat on Meng Huo's left hand: "You owe me a favor. This is the first time I've stayed up late for such a reason."
Meng Huo was shocked. But soon Chen Jie approached him. She sat on his right hand and said, "You owe me a favor, too."
The two women leaned against Meng Huo on the left and right, and the words cooperated in this way, which suddenly felt a strange feeling in Meng Huo's heart. He frowned slightly, a little strange, but under the gorgeous starry sky, he quickly threw his doubts aside and immersed in the touch of the meteor shower.
The next day, at 7 o'clock in the morning, Meng Huo and the other two returned to the Phoenix Building and came to the restaurant for breakfast.
"Teacher He Xi, Teacher He Xi, did you see the meteor shower yesterday? It's so beautiful!" It happened that He Qian was also in the restaurant. After seeing Meng Huo and the other two, she immediately invited them to sit together and said excitedly: "It is said that the coastal areas in China have the best view."
Meng Huo ordered a meal and said, "Indeed, I have never seen such a clear meteor shower." He looked at He Qian's boring skin color and the thick dark circles in his eyes. He frowned slightly and said, "Did you not sleep last night?"
He Qian nodded: "How could it be possible to sleep? It's so lively, everyone was there last night."
Last night, she enjoyed the meteor shower with many employees at Lou Ding in Phoenix Building. Lou Ding held a grand banquet, which was very lively all night. However, thinking of Meng Huo's taboo of "staying up late", He Qian suddenly said in her heart: "Teacher, don't you even interfere with me in this, right?"
If so, isn't that too much?
Meng Huo looked at He Qian and his eyebrows slowly relaxed: "It doesn't matter this time, but it's better for you to pay attention."
He really wanted to interfere with He Qian, but no matter what, Meng Huo's interference in her in the past has already exceeded the standard. This is mainly because Meng Huo always feels guilty towards He Qian, and he doesn't want He Qian to recreate what happened in his previous life.
However, He Qian in this world is still different from He Qian in his previous life. Meng Huo and her are not as close as in her previous life. He must remind himself not to "take care of He Qian" too much and cause misunderstandings to others.
Fortunately, Chen Jie and Alice, who were having breakfast together, didn't think there was anything wrong.
"What should you do with your job today?" Alice was also worried about He Qian's job: "If I remember correctly, today is the official release date of "Girl Falling in Love with Sister", right? Can you support me?"
"Girl Falling in Love with Sister" is a new text adventure game that was announced yesterday, but in order to balance the fresh products of every day of the carnival, this game was not on sale yesterday. Each store only accepts trial and reservation, and today is the peak period of release.
Meng Huo had completed the game introduction and unveiling yesterday, and today's focus has shifted to other activities. Therefore, the release of "Girl Falling in Love with Sister" requires the game department and merchants from Manga Island to be held together, so He Qian is naturally an indispensable person.
"At work... I'm fine."
He Qian gave Alice a positive answer. Although she didn't sleep much, she was in good condition and there was no problem with supporting her for a day. Alice was relieved, but after breakfast was over, when they came out of the restaurant, the few people coming towards her worried again.
"Why didn't you sleep last night?"
Meng Huo looked at Xia Chuanzhen who was greeting him and asked other voice actors that the charm of the meteor shower last night was too great. He found that most of the employees he met in the morning were either yawning or looking tired. It seemed that they were generally staying up late to watch the meteor shower.
Compared with them, Meng Huo felt that he was still too polite. In fact, Chen Jie and Alice stayed up late and saw that they both crawled into the tent and went to bed after 2:30 - now they were in better condition than many people.
However, it would be fine if the general staff did this. After seeing the tiredness on Xia Chuan and others' faces, Alice was very angry.
"Miss Ryoko, don't you know how to watch them?" She asked several agents who followed him. These voice actors have multiple performances at the carnival every day, and they are the people who need the most rest. Why don't these agents standing behind them look forward to the voice actors who are responsible for them?
Ryoko Natsukawa smiled bitterly: "There was some accident at the party last night, and we didn't expect this to happen." Just like other departments, the voice actor firm also had an event to watch the meteor shower last night, but they were not so free, and the event ended at twelve:30.
"Since that's the case..." After hearing the answer from Ryoko Xia Chuan, Meng Huo was also curious. He looked at the real Xia Chuan: "Why are you all sleeping?"
In fact, Xia Chuan's tiredness was not outstanding. Alice could tell that it was due to her understanding of voice actors. When she was an agent in the past, she was able to discover the status of artists.
Meng Huo could see that it was also leaning on his eyes, and he noticed the blood in Xia Chuan's true eyes.
"We've been playing too much..."
Xia Chuanzhen replied in a low voice.
Meng Huo was even more curious: "What have you played too much? What have you played?"
At this time, Ryoko Nakakawa patted her daughter's head and said, "At the party yesterday, they were telling ghost stories together. We originally thought it was no big deal - but it seemed that the atmosphere was so good that they were scared."
Ghost Story - After hearing this answer, Meng Huo and Alice looked at each other. Both of them were a little incomprehensible.
"Because I'm afraid of ghost stories?" Chen Jie naturally didn't believe it: "It's impossible that so many people have insomnia, right?"
Ryoko Natsukawa was also a little puzzled. During the party, the female voice actors gathered together to chat and talk, while the agents were talking on the other side. No one expected that the female voice actors would collectively suffer from insomnia due to ghost stories.
"Maybe it's because the atmosphere is so good..."
Ryoko Nakachuan could only explain this way. This group of female voice actors was indeed very happy about the "ghost story" and eventually evolved into a ghost story competition. Perhaps it was because of the good atmosphere that they were all scared.
"And I heard that the culprit is Miss Kako." Nakachuan Ryoko said again: "The truth is that they are all scared by Kakako's ghost story."
The Kako here naturally refers to Kako Takashima. When she heard this name, Natsukawa's real eyes lit up: "Kanko is simply a genius of ghost stories! I think she should go to the TV station to tell ghost stories late at night, and she will definitely be popular!"
This sentence made Meng Huo and the other two even more incredible. They all know about Kako Takashima, and they can't associate it with her with the "Ghost Story Genius". Or on the contrary, she should be the kind of person who is very simple to be frightened by the "Ghost Story", pretending to be nothing, but her legs are trembling.
"Really, she has this talent?" Meng Huo felt that the image of Takashima Kako in his impression was a little shaken. He could not imagine the scene where Takashima Kako sat among a group of girls and told ghost stories calmly.
However, not only Xia Chuan Zhen, but several other female voice actors also catered to it.
"It's true. Every ghost story she told seems simple, but after listening to it, I feel extremely scared - and even her ghost story is scared by herself, it sounds too real!"
"Yes, Xiangzi was trembling when she told ghost stories, and what she said was super real, it sounded like it happened to her."
Alice was very surprised, she looked up and said, "Where is the Xiangzi person?"
"She is still sleeping!" Nakachuan Ryoko replied, "I heard from her agent that Kakako had turned on the lights all night after she went back last night and didn't dare to sleep. She didn't fall asleep until after five o'clock."
Alice suddenly believed it a little. She told ghost stories that she couldn't even sleep with herself. Such a magical thing might only be done by Kako Takashima. Meng Huo looked at Xia Chuan with interest: "What kind of ghost stories did she tell? Can you tell me any casually?"
Xia Chuan nodded and said, "There is a story that scares me especially, and there are only a few words in total." Meng Huo nodded, and the other people's eyes also looked over curiously. A few words of ghost stories, is there such a ghost story?
And even if there is, what's there to be afraid of? They saw Xia Chuanzhen taking a breath slowly: "One night, I woke up from my dream in a daze and heard something moving on the first floor."
Meng Huo was stunned at first, and then he realized that Xia Chuan had already started telling stories.
He continued to listen, and the girl's voice was very calm: "I opened the door and saw that the lights were still on in the kitchen on the first floor, and from time to time, the strange sound of knives rubbing.
My mother downstairs may have heard the sound of me opening the door and shouted: 'Daughter, are you getting up? Come down and help me move something!'"
After hearing this, no one felt something was wrong, but soon - Xia Chuan Zhen said another sentence (for the sake of harmony, this sentence will not be published here). This is the last sentence, and after this sentence, the whole ghost story ends.
Meng Huo was stunned after listening to the ghost story, and then heard a lot of whispering sounds around him.
"Oh my God...", "So there is such a short ghost story!" This ghost story is very short, and some people didn't react at first, but after a simple memory, many people thought it was indeed an excellent ghost story.
Meng Huo's eyes saw a female employee on the roadside looking pale and she couldn't help but smile.
"So that's it. Are the ghost stories she tells all of this type?" he asked Xia Chuan Zhen.
Xia Chuan nodded and pouted slightly, "Well, this is a story that sounds simple, but when you think about it, you will feel terrifying... When she told this story, she asked which of us is the real mother. It's so scary!"
She couldn't help but look at her mother. Perhaps because she had lived with her mother for a long time, this ghost story impressed her too deeply. She was afraid that the voices of two mothers suddenly appeared all night last year.
In fact, Natsukawa is not timid, but she would rather listen to those vivid ghost stories depicted in the future than listen to simple and real ghost stories like Kako Takashima.
"I still remember a few, brother, do you still want to listen?" Xia Chuan looked at Meng Huo in real terms.
Meng Huo smiled and shook her head: "No, I admit that she is talented... It's really surprising, Alice..." He turned to look at Alice and asked, "Is this ability of Takashima Kako has development value?"
Alice was slightly indifferent. It was worth talking about ghost stories just because she had no development value. People who could tell ghost stories were everywhere, and ghost stories were not helpful to voice actors.
However, Kako Takashima was so scared that she couldn't sleep by her ghost story, which was something that could be used. The key is not whether her ghost story could scare others, but whether Kako Takashima could show her charm in this matter.
If she is afraid of ghost stories but is unwilling to admit defeat, she will tell them even if she is persistent - this fragile and stubborn contrasting personality can be discovered by the audience, and Kako Takashima and the character of "Arrogance" can be further linked.
This is an opportunity for Takashima Kako, but I don’t know if she really expressed her nature so vividly when telling ghost stories.
"I'll go see her in the morning." Alice quickly made a decision: "If she performs well, she will tell ghost stories tonight's stage."
