Chapter 133 The Last Dance
Chapter 133: The Last Dance Step
Yuzuo Shigemori was walking alone in the empty theater. The dull footsteps echoed on the silent empty stage, and he sighed deeply.
More than a week has passed since the previous city riot, and the list of victims who died in this incident is repeatedly broadcast on the radio every day.
It takes four and a half hours to recite the list of victims of more than 3,000 people in full. Shigemori Yuki tried to listen to it from beginning to end. He washed dishes, mopped the floor, sat in meditation, and wrote scripts at home. During this process, the names of the more than 3,000 victims were carved with scars one by one in his heart. He occasionally remembered that noon, everything was safe, and then a national public security department official who claimed to be a Takayama Mu people had a long talk with him in the office. In the end, he persuaded himself without much effort and betrayed the sound effects master in his troupe. Then Sadako Yamamura was taken away and interrogated and confessed...
Sadako Yamamura...
Oh, he chanted this name in his heart. She must be related to the riots later. Yuki Shigemori had no evidence to support this idea, but whenever he thought of the unlucky breath on her, he felt that she must be inseparable from this matter. This idea is superstitious and has no reason, but it overflows his chest as irresistibly as the melting snow water in spring. The woman as beautiful as the banshee in the sea... Was she injured in the riot? Or...
The riot known as the "Kyoto Frantic Crazy" was suppressed by the belated Tokyo Defense Forces with force. The guard infantry of the two brigades were thrown into the city to fight, and a huge number of bloodshed occurred. Driven by unknown madness, humans turned into wild beasts, and frantically attacked all humans that appeared in their sight, and would not stop until death.
After the defense army paid the heavy price of hundreds of officers and soldiers, the three-day difficult street fighting finally ended. The last crazy man was also put on a restrained suit and sent to a specially opened spiritual therapy institute for research. What exactly caused this great frenzy is still an unknown mystery. From the comprehensive study of confessions obtained from the surviving residents, experts concluded that the birthplace of this frenzy was the Kyoto Penalty Office Building. The subsequent deeper investigation also supported this view.
The statistics on the list of victims are still underway, with hundreds of registered missing people, and this number is still growing steadily, and a large part of them may never be able to appear in this world again.
During this riot, Yuzusaki Shigemori was lucky to escape. Due to the arrests carried out in the theater, the theater took several days to renovate, so he gave all the staff a vacation and avoided the disaster by chance. Due to this sudden major accident, the Flying Theatre will inevitably be paralyzed in a short period of time, and will face a bleak situation in the foreseeable future... In the face of this mysterious disaster that is enough to be recorded in history, any entertainment activity will be severely hit. This incident once again casts a layer of blood on this ancient city, and the Japanese citizens living in Tokyo may have to escape from the shadow of this incident.
Suddenly, his steps stopped. Yuki Shigei listened with the sound of music that seemed to be there and there. He heard someone playing the cello. The tone was low and gentle, like a melancholy and calm lake. Then there were a few crisp piano sounds. The tone and rhythm of the piano were beautiful. The clean and leaping melody shook the solid wood floor and also guided the previous cello. The melody of the two began to be different, then gradually approached, intertwined, and finally turned into a beautiful ensemble. This combination was simply impeccable, and the natural and pure rhythms inspired each other, bringing the other's rhythm into a new field.
The low violin and the exciting piano turn into a harmonious whole, with a bright and relaxed melody, like a simple and happy mood.
Oh my God, Shigemori was walking silently in the theater. He couldn't wait to see who could play such beautiful music. His fingers unconsciously hit the beats, responding to the rhythm of the two sounds. These two melodies were just ordinary excellent when they were listening to them alone, but this wonderful cooperation was like a person with four hands playing two instruments at the same time...
Flawless. He thought obsessed with it.
Then, just like his heart was pounding, he heard two footsteps...it should be said to be a dance step. The rhythm of the steps perfectly combined with the sound of the instrument, and each step was accurately stepped on the point, one was crisp high heels, and the other was crackling leather shoes.
Rotating, interlacing, changing, and a gorgeous embrace... The bright and smooth dance steps echoed in the empty corridors. Chongsen couldn't wait to run, searching for the pair of invisible dancers and invisible musicians in every corner of the theater. He walked through corridors after corridors, passed one poster after another, opened one room after another, and all the places were silent like a castle in sleep. He was like chasing a pair of non-existent shadows, futile and sweating.
He suddenly remembered something, and Yuzuo Shigemori climbed to the second floor of the backstage and opened the door to the recording studio.
Once the place where sound effects artists worked, there was a window where you could look down at the stage. The room that was destroyed by the arrest operation had been briefly repaired and then returned to its original appearance. The broken machine had been replaced with a new one. Chong Sen stepped over the creaking temporary wooden board and walked to the sound playback system.
The power light is on.
He pressed the pause button, and the dance steps and music that came from all over the place came to an abrupt end, a clever mechanism.
Chongsen took out a box of recording tape from the machine and looked over and over for a while. It was covered with white labels from the factory, and the content filling column was still blank.
A chuckle came from a distance, and Yuzuo Shigeo raised his head suddenly. In the small window, he saw two figures appearing on the stage.
One is a slender man in a black suit, and the other is a slender woman in a white dress.
The man in black sat in front of the piano, lifted the front cover, and then gently tapped a few notes. After a few tentative plays, he quickly began to play it in a voluntary manner. The brisk and graceful tune seemed to have turned on some kind of switch. The woman in the dress took a few steps on the stage, and then the dance steps began to accelerate until it merged with the tone of the piano.
Rotation, endless circling, the white dress is like a lily blooming indiscriminately, blooming dazzlingly on the stage. The long black hair flew in the air with the dance steps, and the deep hair absorbed all the light, not the bright color that reflects light, but a pure color as dark as a black hole. However, Chongsen felt that this characteristic added a kind of inhuman magical beauty to the dancer, just like appreciating some artwork beyond the scope of common sense, and could only feel its beauty with a hazy subconscious.
Sadako Yamamura, he recited the name silently, and his pronunciation echoed quietly between his lips and teeth, sweet and cold, like icy. Chongsen looked at the stage obsessively, and he unconsciously lay on the window glass, looking at the two people on the stage. This scene was like the last scene of the unformed script in his mind. At the end, the heroine fell into the palm of the crow and was controlled by a demon named "crow", but in the end she was convinced by the demon and retrieved her stolen heart.
The last scene should be like this... Chongmori watched his story perfectly in front of him, and Sadako Yamamura rotated around the stage, like a flower that finally saw the sunshine blooming. An inexplicable feeling echoed in his chest, and he had a wonderful premonition. This time, it might be the last time he saw this woman and that mysterious man...
The drama that happened in reality... The director who has been addicted to his own spiritual creation world for many years shed tears silently.
At some point, the piano sound did not stop, but the "crow" had already stood up. Chongsen seemed to hear an entire orchestra accompaniment, the large trumpet and trumpet were playing, and the beats of drums were beating each other, violin, cello, violin, alas, black tube... More than thirty players, the compound melody circled straight to the zenith of the stage.
The lights are turned on, and a beam of stage light shines on the woman. Black and white meet together, and in the magnificent ensemble, two colors intertwined into luxurious dance steps. Rotation and stillness, strength and beauty, quick steps and pauses, and various elements unfold on the stage in a ups and downs, becoming an amazing dance.
The last beat stopped, all the sounds on the stage were silent, and the dance ended with white flowers pouring into the arms of black crows. The black figure stood behind her, wrapping her in the heart of the night with a velvet cloak. The pale and beautiful side face flashed in the cloak for the last time, and glanced at the uninhabited seats under the stage, like a peerless city that reached the top of the world overlooking her territory.
There was no applause, no cheers, and the stage lights were gone.
Everything is back to darkness and shadows.
Yusaki Shigemori knew that this was the last time he saw Sadako Yamamura. He sat on the stool and couldn't help but burst into tears.
