Chapter 47 The Curse of the Bloody Crown

"Macbeth", this drama was a taboo for the previous Western theaters, and even the name could not be mentioned in the theater.

Legend has it that this is a cursed play.

When mentioning the word Macbeth in the theater, it will bring curses and disasters. There are even many living cases, and at that time, "Scottish drama" is used as a reference.

Of course, this is something that happened half a century ago. Now, this kind of taboo is rarely discussed, and everyone is normal to call it by it.

However, it is difficult for such classic but outdated repertoire to win the hearts of the audience.

The troupes that perform classic dramas basically have their own unique characteristics, such as script adaptation, special sets, new singing and dancing forms, etc., and new performances in old dramas.

There is this repertoire in the tram theater, probably because of the unique set or audience group?

Nine heads wearing a white coat and white cloth covered with her face appeared outside the tram theater, looking at the show to guess.

...

Doctor Kyujo used the Frankenstein figure to investigate in the trolley theater.

The weird face should have been very conspicuous.

But the people coming and going around didn't seem to notice it.

This is due to the similarity of divine objects to ghosts and gods, and their understanding of Frankenstein’s dolls is related to inspiration.

Uninspired people will not feel abnormal about them, just like they are looking at an ordinary person who conforms to their thinking identity.

Only those with deep sea of ​​inspiration can detect abnormalities and even truths and see the strange image of the doll.

Strictly speaking, this is also a distortion of people's cognition.

There is a natural law in the mysterious world.

Mystery is always discovered by a few people and is passed on to the majority.

...

From the playlist, I can't see much.

The only thing that makes people care about is the obviously inconsistent Western drama "Macbeth".

The drama "Macbet" does have some rumors about mystery.

In the first act, the spells of three witches are prophesed, causing the greedy Macbeth to plunder the throne, and the spells of the witches are said to be real spells.

Because this real spell angered the real witch and cursed the play. There was once such a saying.

Nine doctors took note of this clue.

Regardless of whether it is true or false, it is a way of thinking.

...

Then, Dr. Kujo went to the backstage of the theater.

The performance is about to begin, and there are many people coming and going backstage.

Makeup artist, prop artist, lighting, drama business, director, actor, reporter, media person...

Small theater, small place, numerous people, and messy.

We are not from the same theater troupe, many of them are just outsourcing the venue, such as a makeup artist who will soon go to the next one after the venue.

Not to mention this kind of small theater, Broadway also has the same outsourcing model, but there are trade unions and teams in the industry, which are more professional.

It is not difficult to get into such a theater. Everyone is busy with their own affairs, and no one even asks about her.

She visited several places in the props room, the lighting room, and the dressing room, and used the same reason to "I'm sorry to go wrong".

No abnormalities were found in these places.

The next one is...Actors' lounge, with a sign on it that says Eiki Okumura.

Doctor Kujo has an impression. I just watched the show on the show list and the names of many starring actors.

She opened the door.

"Sorry, I went wrong..."

While talking, he looked inside.

A room full of wine smells, a corpse.

...

Doctor Jiuzou paused for a second, and the white cloth with a normal expression on his face changed to a fork expression.

The next second, close the door.

I turned around and went out to the vending machine outside and bought two cans of coffee.

Return, open the door, enter the house, lock it.

She stepped forward to check the condition of the body.

The face turns red, bloodshot in the conjunctiva of the eye, death from tracheal infarction, suspected disulfiram-like reaction, which is caused by acetaldehyde poisoning.

The death time should not exceed half an hour.

Considering that in such places where the flow of people changes frequently, if she is the first discoverer, her death may not even exceed 10 minutes.

She was inconvenient to destroy the scene, could not dissect it, and could not get more information from the body at the physical level.

so……

Turn off the lounge lights.

Doctor Kyujo walked to the body and put down his coffee.

Silenced, the lounge became quiet, and only the sound of clocks slowly moving.

Doctor Kyujo spoke.

"I have prepared coffee and want to talk to you."

Dark and quiet lounge.

A living person, a corpse, and an invitation.

“I don’t like coffee.”

The body of Okumura sat up.

...

In the darkness of the lounge.

While Doctor Kyujo held a discussion on the body.

Two little mice were hiding in the invisible darkness, observing everything.

...

"Trunk Theater stage drama actor Ei Akira Okumura died in the backstage lounge last night, suspected of drinking alcohol after taking antibiotics..."

"Actor Okumura was a very popular actor in the tram theater during his lifetime. He starred in many dramas such as Macbeth. When he unfortunately passed away, he was wearing an actor's uniform..."

Early in the morning, Su Qi saw the news.

Moreover, a related topic has also been sparked on social networks.

"Have you heard of it, Macbeth's curse."

"When the actor died, he was wearing Macbeth's prop costume, crown."

"It is said that just a few minutes before the show started, the person suddenly died suddenly, which was so terrifying."

"What happened? What is Macbeth's curse?"

“…”

There are all kinds of speeches, a long-standing urban anecdote like the broken sofa at my grandfather's house, and everyone found out with a case report.

Various pictures and discussion topics are still quite popular.

...

Su Qi looked at the obviously abnormal fermentation rate and his heart sank slightly.

He didn't expect that by such a coincidence, he used the Macbeth archives as a script and something happened so soon.

And it's a very troublesome and difficult to solve.

This time the anchorage of ghosts and gods is different from the Guhuniao.

The Guhuo Bird incident relies on creating a large-scale panic to assist in the anchoring ceremony. After the sectarian team members were surrounded and suppressed, they assisted with positive news reports, which easily eliminated the panic.

But this time it is different. This anchoring is not entirely based on panic, but on the existing urban anecdotes and people's curiosity.

The murder occurred. Whether it was suicide or homicide to find the murderer, no matter how it was resolved, it was difficult to refute the strange story of "Macbeth's Curse".

Its anchoring is very cleverly established, and it is an anchor that is directly concluded when a murder occurs. The logic forms a closed loop and is almost impossible to break.

Fortunately, the popularity caused by such a small storm is not enough to the extent that the launch ceremony brings ghosts and gods up.

But if there is a murder case in that theater again...

Even if Su Qi doesn't believe in netizens' imagination and ability to cause trouble, he still has to believe in those unscrupulous media who have to report some gimmicks for the sake of popularity.

If accidents continue to occur in the theater, the more the "Macbeth's Curse" is, the higher the heat.

The ritual conditions for summoning ghosts and gods will eventually be met.
