Psychological Control

Tomoyo Murakami has been influenced by his family since he was a child, and he especially likes many traditional skills in his country, especially Kabuki performances.But her preferences are much more expensive than girls of the same age chasing stars.Every time she wants to watch a kabuki performance, it will cost her nearly three months of part-time wages.

So after hearing that today's kabuki performance is a practice performance for laymen and trainee kabuki actors who have not yet been able to stand alone, so members will be given free admission to watch, she chose to go without hesitation.

In her opinion, even if the performance is not very good, at least she can see those beautiful costumes and the stage, and she can still have complaints when she returns home.There is no harm at all, and I just have time, why don't I go and see the excitement?

Today's first performance is a segment of Narugami.That's right, today's performance is not done according to the complete plot, but a practice performance one by one.

But even if the audience can't read the whole story, the seats in the whole theater are still filled with many bored old people and hobbyists.

As the lights in the theater went dark, long folk music played from the speakers, and the sound of shamisen beat people's heartstrings.A burly and tall figure wobbled out from the lounge door on the left side behind the auditorium, and walked towards the center of the stage step by step through the flower arrangement.

Tomoyo Murakami looked curiously at the face of this kabuki who was taller than the Narugami masters he had seen before.Then she found out in surprise, it seems that this guy is a foreigner?Although heavy makeup is painted on his face, it can still be seen from the outline of his face.

His movements of acting drunk were a little stiff, and he looked indescribably awkward, but he was so precise that he couldn't tell what was wrong.After he walked to the center of the stage and sat down cross-legged, the most important female character in Narugami, the stunning princess in the cloud, came out again on the flower path.

Still a foreigner!But... so beautiful...! ! !For the first time, Tomoyo Murakami did not focus on the performance of Kabuki, but on the face of this female Kabuki.When he appeared, he attracted the attention of everyone in the arena, and even caused some commotion.

Different from traditional kabuki makeup, the small eyes of most Japanese make them look like the beauties with phoenix eyes in ancient beauty pictures after putting on white geisha makeup.Then the female form of this foreigner looks like a resin ball joint doll.

Compared with the Hinamatsuri dolls, it has a more realistic and three-dimensional sense, but it is also more beautiful.The appearance of a female ghost, who is often criticized by people who don't understand kabuki, probably can't speak a word on him.Dan red eyebrow and eyeliner, cherry red lips and shy expression.

Walking out of the flower path with small steps, the upper body is as motionless as a mountain, like a puppet being lifted and slid, and it just floats lightly towards the stage.Because of the little woman's demeanor, he lowered his head slightly, revealing his slender neck.The radians and edges of the side face perfectly interpret what it means to look down on a country.

The mandarin duck furisode kimono, which is distinguished from the skirt, has gorgeous hair accessories, and the most conspicuous thing is the silver flower curtain.The flower curtain swayed slightly following Yun Zhongji's steps, but made no sound.Tomoyo Murakami's staring eyes moved to the feet of the Kabuki.

Covered by the long hem of the kimono, only when the legs are slightly raised can people peek into the pair of white and slender ankles.Tomoyo Murakami was not sure for a moment whether this kabuki was a woman or a girl.But the opponent's walking skills are very good, which cannot be questioned.

If this time is a layman's performance, why can the other party perform with such a standard small walking posture?Is it really just the same as the program introduction, and only studied for one afternoon?

If Tomoyo Murakami could ask Brian this question himself, he would definitely tell her that it is because this technique of controlling body parts actually has something in common with mechanical dancing.Although Brian's main dance style is jazz dance, he also practiced mechanical dance in the dance troupe.

And compared to the mechanical dancing that shows off skills, Brian's skills are mostly aesthetic. As long as someone cooperates, he can perform a lifelike puppet show.

While the people in the audience watched with relish, Brian wore a high Shimada hair wig and heavy hair accessories on it.Working hard to manage his expressions, he walked up to the center of the stage with small steps, and exchanged glances with Ti Lung, who played the role of Master Mingshen.In line with the idea of ​​completing the task as soon as possible, a series of lines marked in Roman accents ran through his mind rapidly.

Walking to the place where he should sit in the center of the stage, Brian began to think about the sitting posture that Dianguang instructed him to do time and time again before, so that his knees were kneeling and bruised.Trying to adapt to the heavy short knotted belt behind her back, she knelt and sat down gracefully.

Then he pinched the orchid finger and lifted the small wine barrel that can be held with one hand, pursed his lips and said in a false voice: "Master, if you have the heart, why don't you eat this half of my broken wine again."

Listening to Brian's strange voice in disguise, Dillon's eyes showed an uncontrollable smile, looking at Brian's appearance in women's clothing.This kind of smile was obviously taken by Brian as a mockery, and Dillon's expression made Brian stare at him quietly.

"The obsequiousness is natural...Oh my God, why do you even show your eyes so well? The seductive gesture is so vivid." Tomoyo Murakami, who has been watching Brian's every move, couldn't help whispering after seeing Brian's staring action. exclaimed exclaimed.

No one around looked at her because they were all intoxicated by the performance.What Murakami Tomoyo said was exactly what they thought in their hearts, so no one thought there was anything wrong with her exclamation.And Brian's slender and beautiful hands are fiddling with the wine barrel, which is simply a blessing of hand control.

If Brian knew what the audience was thinking, he couldn't help but roll his eyes, complaining that these people's imagination is too high to understand the pictures.He just glared at Di Long in displeasure, and he had no intention of deliberately seducing him.But this misinterpretation also helped him a lot.

Even if his and Dillon's accents are a little strange, no one will focus on watching them now.On the contrary, because of their superb acting skills, they preconceived and fell in love with this "layman" performance, the clip of Yun Zhongji in Narugami persuading him to drink.

"Add more wine to fill the blessing, the wine is poured. Master, have another glass..." With the stunning girl in the cloud played by Bryan and the master Naruto played by Dillon, the scenes of persuasion and drinking went back and forth for nearly 10 minutes Afterwards, Master Mingshen was finally "drunk", and Yun Zhongji took the opportunity to cut off the rope that locked him to the Dragon God.

After a scene came to an end, the two foreigners did not make any gestures to say goodbye, but quietly retreated to the audience following the Japanese tradition.It was a natural move at first, but it made Tomoyo Murakami, who had always wanted to know the name of the female kabuki, quite a pity.She made up her mind that after the performance, she must ask the theater staff where the two people came from.

And the second group of players who appeared later, Zoe and Joseph.Joseph's petite figure beat Brian a bit in this regard.It's just that his older sister Zoe pretended to be a man. Although she worked hard, she turned the main scene of Naruto's persuasion into a comedy drama because of her petite body.

Fortunately, the audience knew in advance that today's performance was experienced by laymen, so there was no booing.While Zoe and Joseph finished their lines, Brian and Dillon took off their makeup and changed their clothes as fast as they could.

Received the address of the transfer station in Japan from Dianguang, at the entrance of a hot spring hotel at the foot of Mount Fuji, Brian and Dillon hurriedly packed their luggage and took the last bus of the day, and hurried there .

Although on the detour task on the Kabuki side, Brian and Dillon are undoubtedly the fastest to complete.But the model group, the cowboy group and the father and son of cancer survivors chose another detour mission, which became an unknown variable.

Fortunately, due to the advantage of the time gap, Sam and Dean, who chose Johnny's stage play Diao Wia to finish first, were one step behind Brian and Dillon, and the two thrillingly won again. Another No.1 victory at the transfer station.

After the first batch of boarding teams headed to Japan arrived at the relay station, the second echelon combination of the second boarding group finally arrived at the relay station until it got dark.And because today's game was very long and difficult, Catherine and Paul, the retired elderly couple in the second echelon, finally arrived and were eliminated.

After three rounds of competition, the original eleven teams have now become eight groups including Brian and Dillon.On the second day, the non-stop rapid progress began again.They went to the ancient city of Lijiang, China.This time, everyone boarded the same plane and returned to the same starting point again.

In the winding ancient city, it is a big problem to find the way while doing the task.The roadblock task is to find five specific locations in the maze-like ancient city and collect items to pass the level.Using the sunlight to identify east, west, north and south, Dillon's presence kept Brian from becoming blindfolded.

But Zoe and Joseph fell behind for a while because they got lost.In the end, I could only ask Brian and Dillon for the extra fast-forward card, and after using it, I narrowly avoided the fate of being eliminated.In the detour task, choosing to climb to the top of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain and tracing the ancient tea-horse road, Sam and Dean took advantage of their familiarity with equestrian skills to win the championship in one fell swoop.

Brian and Dillon ended their three-round championship, and this time the two brothers won the first place.Brian and Dillon chased to the second place, and the ones who were eliminated after that were Johansen and Louie, the e-sports-loving otaku combination who finally couldn't hold on and made mistakes again and again.

That night, I went back to the inn in the ancient city of Lijiang to rest. When the next day dawned, the seven teams advancing at top speed would set off again.

Double bed room in the inn, before going to bed.

"Wait, when did you pack this photo into your luggage?! Why didn't I know?!" Brian pulled out a wooden photo frame from Dillon's backpack, glanced at it and took it out in shock. said Dillon, who had just come out of the shower and only had a towel around his lower body. "Didn't I tell you to throw it away quickly! Take the weight!"

Di Long was stunned, silent about the stubble that appeared on his face.Looking at the picture framed by Brian in a bathrobe, it looks like a Japanese wedding photo. The Polaroid photo of the two of them in costumes and kimonos was taken with the help of the theater staff.Brian's face was covered with white powder, and he was looking at his thin eyebrows, the peaks of which were lightly condensed.

The lips are even more crimson and a little red, accompanying the women's furisode kimono on her body.It's beautiful, like an old photo with a lot of time.Finally, Brian was able to see a photo of him having difficulty maintaining his usual masked smiling face, and couldn't help but blow his hair.Of course Dillon will take good care of it.

"Oh...it's okay, I'll just recite it. It's a souvenir anyway."

"roll!"
