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

Legend has it that this is a cursed play.

The mention of Macbeth in the theater will invite curses and disasters, and there are even many living cases, which were all referred to as "Scottish plays" at that time.

Of course, this was half a century ago, and now this taboo is rarely talked about anymore, and everyone calls it by its first name normally.

However, it is difficult for such a classic but archaic 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 forms of singing and dancing, etc., and new performances of old plays.

The Tram Theatre has this play repertoire, presumably because of the unique set or audience?

Wearing a white lab coat and a white cloth on his face, the nine-headed appeared outside the tram theater, looking at the repertoire and guessing.

……

Dr. Kujo used a Frankenstein doll and came to the tram theater to investigate.

The weird face should be very conspicuous.

But the people who came and went around didn't seem to notice.

This is due to the fact that the characteristics of the gods are similar to those of ghosts and gods, and the perception of Frankenstein dolls is related to inspiration.

An uninspired person does not feel abnormal about it, as if he were looking at an ordinary person who fits his or her mental identity.

Only those who have the deep sea of inspiration can perceive anomalies and even truths, and see the strange images of dolls.

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

There is a law of nature in the mysterious world.

Mystery will always be discovered by only a few people and relayed to the majority.

……

From the repertoire, I don't see much.

The only thing that people care about is the obviously somewhat incompatible Western-style drama of "Macbeth".

The show "Macbeth" does have some rumors about mysteries.

In the first act, the spell of the three witches prophesiess that leads to the greedy Macbeth plundering the throne, and the witch's spell is said to be a true spell.

Because of this spell, the show received a curse, and there was once such a saying.

Doctor Kujo jotted down the clue.

Whether it's true or not, it's more or less an idea.

……

Then, Dr. Kujo went backstage to the theater.

The show is about to start, and there are a lot of people coming and going backstage.

Make-up Artist, Prop Artist, Lighting, Dramaturgy, Director, Actor, Journalist......

Small theater, small place, crowded, messy.

Everyone is not a troupe, many of them are outsourced to rush to the scene, such as a makeup artist, after running this scene, he will immediately go to the next one.

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

It's really not difficult to get into such a theater, everyone is busy with themselves, and no one even asks her.

She walked around the props room, the lighting room, and the dressing room, and prevaricated on the same "I'm sorry to go wrong" reason.

In these places, nothing unusual was found.

The next one is...... The actor's lounge has a sign on it that says Eiaki Okumura.

Dr. Kujou has the impression that he has seen the names of many leading actors on the repertoire just now.

She opened the door.

"I'm sorry, I went wrong......"

As he spoke, he looked inside.

A room full of alcohol, a corpse.

……

Doctor Kujo paused for a second, and the white cloth with the normal expression on his face was replaced by a cross 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, reverse lock.

She stepped forward to check on the body.

Facial redness, bloodshot conjunctiva, suffocation from tracheal infarction, suspected disulfiram-like reaction, that is, acetaldehyde poisoning.

The time of death does not exceed half an hour.

Considering that in such a crowded place, if she were the first discoverer, the time of death might not even be more than 10 minutes.

She couldn't destroy the scene, couldn't dissect it, couldn't get more information from the body on a physical level.

So......

Turn off the lights in the lounge.

Dr. Kujo walked over to the corpse and put down his coffee.

There was silence, and the rest room was silent, except for the sound of the clock moving slowly.

Doctor Kujo spoke.

"I prepared coffee and wanted to talk to you."

Dark and quiet lounge.

A living person, a corpse, an invitation.

"I don't like coffee."

Okumura's corpse sat up.

……

In the darkness of the lounge.

Dr. Kujo at the same time as a corpse talk.

Two little mice are hiding in the invisible dark, observing everything.

……

"Tram Theater actor Eiaki Okumura died in the backstage lounge last night, suspected to have ...... caused by drinking alcohol after taking antibiotics"

"Actor Okumura was a very popular actor in the Tram Theater during his lifetime, starring in many plays such as Macbeth, and when he unfortunately passed away, he still wore an actor's costume......

Early in the morning, Su Qi saw the news.

Moreover, a related topic has been set off on social networks.

"Heard of Macbeth's curse."

"The actor was still wearing Macbeth's prop costume when he died, the crown."

"It is said that just a few minutes before the show started, people suddenly died violently, so terrifying."

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

“……”

There are all kinds of speeches, and an old urban anecdote like a broken sofa in grandpa's house has been turned over by everyone with a case report.

All kinds of pictures, discussion topics, faintly and a lot of heat.

……

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

He didn't expect that it would be such a coincidence that he used this Macbeth file as a script, and something happened so soon.

And it's the kind that is very troublesome and difficult to solve.

This time the ghost god is anchored, which is different from the time when Gu won the bird.

In the Gushu Bird incident, the Bird Incident relied on creating a large-scale panic to assist in the anchoring ceremony, and after the Order's personnel were surrounded and suppressed, it was easy to dispel the panic with positive news reports.

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

The murder happened, whether it was suicide or he killed and found the murderer, no matter how it was solved, it was difficult to refute the "curse of Macbeth".

Its anchoring is very cleverly established, it is an anchor that directly concludes when a murder occurs, and the logic is a closed loop of its own, which is almost impossible to break.

Fortunately, the heat caused by such a small storm was not enough to pull the ghosts and gods up at the launching ceremony.

But if you are in that theater again, there is a murder......

Even if Su Qi doesn't believe in netizens' brain supplements and ability to make trouble, he has to believe in those unscrupulous media who want to report some gimmicks for the sake of popularity.

If accidents continue to occur in the theater, "Macbeth's Curse" will become more and more popular.

After all, the ritual conditions for summoning ghosts and gods will be met.
