128. Anime Club and the Membrane Stone (laughs)
"Madoka, Madoka, you're back! It's really hard for you, this is your milk tea. ”
Noticing the figure standing at the door, a tall woman with slightly upturned Danfeng eyes and a very recognizable face that gave people the feeling of "king's woman" turned around and held two cups of milk tea in her hands.
"Uh, who is this?"
As if she was slightly stunned to see her own member and a strange boy appear at the same time, the girl cast a questioning look at Fang Feiwan.
"Oh, president, let me introduce, this is Li Xiang, the person I mentioned to you and the president before, I met by chance when I was picking up clothes with Xiaoyuan, and he helped us move all these clothes. Senior Li Xiang, this is our president Lu Yi. ”
After Fang Feiwan's brief introduction, Lu Yi immediately understood the situation, and generously stretched out her right hand:
"Oh, it turns out that you are Li Xiang, I am Lu Yi in my junior year, so let's be your senior sister. Those of us who are mixed with ACG have a circle name in order to 'catch up with the trend', like Fang Feiwan's circle name is Toffee. If you don't think it's good to call me senior sister or call me by name, you can also call me 'mourning roll'. ”
"Senior sister, you are so enthusiastic, just call me Li Xiang."
Li Xiang also stretched out his right hand, gently shook the other party's four fingers, and then let go.
"What's wrong, what's wrong? Is it possible that a boy is finally going to join our club? ”
An energetic voice interjects into the conversation.
"Jianghe, don't you know best why there are no boys in our club? Hurry back and make your props. ”
Lu Yi rubbed his temples with a headache.
Fang Feiwan on the side explained to Li Xiang at this time:
"Jiang He has the best makeup skills in our club, but she is a heavy rotten girl and a lover of 'women's clothing bosses'. It is also one of the main reasons why our club can't recruit boys. ”
As she spoke, Fang Feiwan secretly took out her mobile phone, opened a photo, and put it in front of Li Xiang.
On the screen of the mobile phone, there is a beautiful girl wearing a purple, black, and white Lolita costume with a pattern.
The girl wore delicate makeup, and the eye makeup around the eyes seemed to be deliberately groomed to accentuate her watery eyes.
In terms of figure, the skirt is relatively wide and does not stand out too much, but the two slender calves wearing black stockings that occupy the lower part of the photo leave infinite room for reverie in the whole photo.
Just as Li wanted to praise the quality of this photo, Concubine Fang said leisurely:
"It's a picture of her brother."
Listening to Fang Feiwan's words, the corners of Li Xiang's eyes began to twitch. I felt a chill rise up my spine.
After that, Fang Feiwan's fingers slid quickly across the screen, and one photo after another flashed across the screen. The protagonist of the photo is naturally the "younger brother".
Sure enough, women's clothing is only zero or countless times.
Li Xiang expressed a silent tribute in his heart for this "younger brother" comrade whom he had never met.
"I'm sorry, the personality of the member is quite out-of-the-box, if you feel unhappy, I apologize to you on her behalf."
"It's okay, it's okay."
Although he is not sensitive to Jiang He's interest in making boys and women's clothes, Li Xiang has no ill feelings towards this person, as long as the other party's interest does not affect him, then no matter what the other party's interest is, it has nothing to do with him.
"Senior Brother Li Xiang, it's better if you don't care, by the way, I remember that Fang Feiwan said, are you willing to participate in the collective cos activities we are preparing to carry out in this comic exhibition?"
"Oh, yes. Yes, I am indeed a little interested in this kind of activity, and Fang Feiwan invited me, so I agreed. ”
Li Xiang nodded.
However, the real reason is that the system Lori Irel asked Li Xiang to agree to the need to collect information on the spot.
As a combination of comic book fans, light fans, and animation fans, Li Xiang did not completely reject this kind of activity, so he naturally agreed.
However, after listening to Fang Feiwan's "background story" about their club, especially the introduction of Jiang He, the 'women's clothing boss lover', Li Xiang had a bad premonition in his heart.
As if he had guessed what Li Xiang was thinking, Lu Yi immediately added:
"Regarding the choice of characters, junior Li Xiang, don't worry, the collective cos we prepared this time is an old comic - Whirlwind Butler. The main reason for choosing this theme was that the popularity was relatively okay, and at the same time, there were relatively many female characters in this animation. However, because this comic is actually a harem theme, we encountered a little difficulty in choosing the male protagonist to play. Out of the idea of excellence, we finally felt that it would be better if we could find a real boy instead of a girl from our club. ”
"That's why you chose me? But isn't that a hassle? It should be possible to replace a girl. ”
Li Xiang asked.
Hearing Li Xiang's words, Lu Yi shook his head and said, "The purpose of our club is to improve ourselves through some activities related to our hobbies, and learn something while being happy. For example, Jiang He, she gave full play to her knowledge of makeup, and often studied this knowledge in her free time. ”
Fang Feiwan also added on the side:
"It's a trivial hobby, but if you can learn something from it, it's much more meaningful than just having a dozen friends to hang out with. This time, our collective cos spent a lot of thought on costume customization, makeup determination, and character performance. ”
After all, they are all art students, and they mainly learn acting, directing and other knowledge, through such a small activity, to exercise their business ability, in Li Xiang's opinion, it is a pretty good activity. It's much better than some clubs that have nothing to show for themselves.
"So, is there anything I need to do about this event?"
Li Xiang asked with interest.
After decades of time in the Halberd Spirit World, Li Xiang's current state of mind has undergone some subtle changes.
In the life of the Halberd Spirit World, he has almost completely experienced the life of "youth-middle-aged-old age".
If this period of life has had the biggest impact on him, it should be to follow his heart and do what he likes to do.
At that time, Li Xiang had vaguely reached the status of "the world's first chef". Its position in the culinary world is unassailable. And because of his marriage to Erina, coupled with his own efforts, he has gradually become the core of the management of the Far Moon Group. It has a significant influence in the world of gastronomy.
However, such a life is not as happy as Li Xiang imagined. Of course, there is nothing in the relationship and family life between Erina that makes Li Xiang feel dissatisfied. The "unhappiness" that Li Xiang feels is mainly in his career and work.
After some careful analysis. Li Xiang finally found that his favorite was really acting.
Through their own analysis and reinterpretation, they perfectly reproduce a fictional or real character. This feeling made Li Xiang feel addicted. And after creating some characters and characters with depth, this feeling is even stronger.
And the reason why I like animated comics and movies so much. An important reason for this is that there are often some interesting settings and worldviews in these works. Under special conditions and scenarios, what kind of traits a person will exhibit is also a rather interesting hypothesis for Li Xiang.
Li Xiang is also full of interest in playing an animated character. This is also one of the motivations for his activities in the derivative worlds of halberds and swords.
Now, Li Xiang has some interest in this activity, which he originally planned to paddle.
With a common goal, the achievement of cooperation intentions and the narrowing of mutual relations are a matter of course. Soon, Li Xiang integrated into the atmosphere of the animation club.
The role played by Li Xiang is the male protagonist of the anime whirlwind housekeeper Ayasaki Sa. Because of his parents' dissolute lifestyle, he owes 150 million in debt, and lives on the streets, and for some reason he is very unlucky. After some circumstances, he became the housekeeper of the eldest lady of the wealthy family of 3000 courtyards. The whereabouts of my father, mother, and brother are unknown.
The character traits of this character are tolerance and an open-minded outlook on life that he maintains due to his usual bad luck. According to the character setting, this character has developed a strong physique and all-round skills due to the harsh living environment he has faced since he was a child. From laundry and cooking to various sports, and even hand-to-hand combat, you know a thing or two.
In fact, what Fang Feiwan didn't tell Li Xiang was that because she saw Li Xiang in the gym with a thin body but was able to lift the weight of a barbell that was difficult for even a strong man to lift, it was quite in line with Ayasaki's setting of "She looks even delicate on the outside, but her strength and physical strength are incredible". So it was decided to send an invitation to Li Xiang.
In the discussion, what attracted Li Xiang the most was that Lu Yi and Fang Feiwan's club also planned to rehearse a short short play.
In the words of Fang Feiwan, the main initiator of the short play, "The animation is fictional and can be transformed at will because the characters are fictitious. Therefore, exaggerated expressions that cannot be used in real life are often used. For example, it shows that a person is shy, and even uses techniques such as steam coming out of the character's ears. It was also interesting to try to express the exaggerated expressions commonly used in animation through your body movements and expressions. ”
is worthy of being a top student in the acting department, and this opinion makes Li Xiang feel the same as a hero. The two discussed a lot about this. And the two have reached a deep agreement in terms of borrowing drama expression techniques.
Finding a partner who has the same aspirations is a great joy in life, so much so that when he left the animation club that afternoon, Li Xiang even had a feeling of unfinished.
Walking on campus at night, Li Xiang, who was enjoying the night view with great interest, suddenly received a phone call. The caller ID on your mobile phone says "Strange caller". After thinking for a while, Li Xiang still pressed the green answer button.
"Hello? Is it Mr. Li Xiang? ”
On the other end of the phone, a male voice that didn't seem to be very old came.
"Well, that's me, may I ask who you are?"
"You have a courier package that has now been dropped off at your school's self-pickup point, please collect it in time."
"Oh, got it, thank you."
Hanging up the phone, Li Xiang wondered:
"I don't seem to have bought anything online, who will send me something?"
Coming to the pickup point, Lee wanted to take out a package with his name written on it.
On the sender field of the package, it is not surprising that the names of his parents.
"Well, sure enough, it was sent by my parents. If you don't come back for the New Year, what did you find? ”
Li Xiang's parents are archaeologists, and they often go out to run around the world away from home on weekdays. If Li Xiang and his sister were young, the two still remembered to take care of their children at home more restrainedly. When the two children grow up, they can be regarded as completely free of themselves.
Take this Chinese New Year as an example. From the twentieth day of the twelfth lunar month to the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, neither of them appeared once. Throughout the Spring Festival, he and his sister were at home.
After the Chinese New Year, my sister, who was about to take the college entrance examination, went to school early, which caused Li Xiang to stay at home alone for the second half of the Chinese New Year.
The package is about the size of a shoebox, and it feels a little heavy when held squarely in your hand. Li Xiang simply returned to the dormitory and took out scissors to unpack the package.
The package opens the outer packaging of the package, and inside is a wooden box containing a stone and a letter.
The content of the letter is mainly some New Year's wishes from parents. The stone was a uniquely shaped stone they found at an archaeological site in Egypt, originally thought to be an artifact of an ancient Egyptian civilization, but now the results show that it seems to be just a strangely shaped gravel produced by the natural weathering of the rock.
Since the old couple is now in a foreign country, there is a delay in the arrival of the package, and the letter also said that he should not worry, and the two are now in good health. As for the younger sister, she will also receive gifts and letters, so there is no need to pass them on.
After reading the letter, Li Xiang picked up the strangely shaped stone and looked at it carefully.
The stone has a grayish-white shape of limestone throughout, and it is indeed as peculiar as the parents say. If there is a description, it should be a triangular pyramid with a seemingly natural fuzzy pattern, plus many bulging and regular protrusions.
"I seem to have seen the appearance of this stone, and I have some impressions. However, no relevant information was retrieved in the database. ”
In Li Xiang's mind, Iriel's voice came out suddenly.
"Have you seen it? Aren't you an artificial lifeform? Artificial intelligence like yours shouldn't be like a computer, and since you've seen it, you must be able to retrieve it from the database. ”
"I don't know why, maybe the database was damaged when I crossed the World Barrier?"
Irel was also unable to give a completely definitive answer.
"Forget it, maybe it's just a coincidence. My parents' group is one of the best in the world in terms of archaeology, and since they gave the results, it should be correct. ”
After thinking about it over and over again, Li Xiang finally put down this doubt and casually put the strangely shaped gravel on his bookshelf.
