Chapter 433: Being Followed

Following two staff members, we first came to the screening room. Although there were not many staff members in the Phenomenon Institute, the screening room was ridiculously large, with nearly 30 rows of seats, making the screening room look like a modern movie theater. However, although it has been cleaned continuously, it still cannot change its slightly old appearance.

The seats have become dark, and the walls of the entire screening room are even slightly cracked, which is enough to prove the length and history of this screening room.

After passing through the screening room, Mr. Negami and his partner took us to the backstage studio.

"Behind the projection room you just saw is the darkroom where we work. Before putting the film into the camera, we check if there are any scratches on the film."

In this era, tape movies were still the mainstream, so in the phenomenon studio, the darkroom would be very close to the screening room.

"Wow! That looks amazing!" The children also opened the door to a new world and saw new things they had never seen before.

"That's right, it feels like I've entered some kind of research institute." Yuantai looked around, hoping to remember everything in front of him.

"Haha, right next to you is the 35cm camera. How about it? It's great, right?" Mr. Negami was also very happy to hear the children's excited voices. After all, being able to let the children see where he worked hard made them want to show off.

drop!drop!drop!
As soon as Genshang finished speaking, a shrill bell rang in the room, which made the children look around in panic, as if looking for the source of the sound.

"Haha, don't panic. This is the alarm when the darkroom is opened. It is to tell everyone not to open the double doors inside at this time. Otherwise, if there is any light source shining into the darkroom, the film we use will be exposed and unusable." Genkami explained.

"After going through these procedures and confirming the film, we use a negative film developer to make a negative of the negative. This procedure is what the developer Mr. Negami does in front of you," Mr. Hoshima explained.

"And the job of converting negatives into positives is done by me, who is in charge of developing them."

"Hey~~"

"Finally, after editing the films and adding the sound effects, the final step is to correct the color of the films. This is the work done by Mr. Tang Tian, ​​whom you just met."

"I understand!" the children raised their hands to answer.

"Haha, while we were talking, it's already 6:40. The video should be ready soon, right?" Genkami glanced at his watch to confirm the time.

"I'm sorry, you may have to wait a little longer for your film." Just as everyone was preparing to head to the screening room, a slovenly middle-aged man in a green suit came staggering over.

"But didn't Mr. Karata just say that we only have to wait until around seven o'clock?" Yukiko asked back.

"Yes, I just heard from Tang Tian that we have to wait until about 11 o'clock at night. Haah~~" As he said this, the man yawned. Looking at his sleepy eyes, it seemed that he did not get enough rest last night.

"Eh? Are you going to wait till that late?"

"Yeah, but this has nothing to do with me being transferred because of a mistake at work. Haha~~"

"You look really tired, Furumura," Hoshima asked.

"Have you been playing mahjong all night again?" Genshang smiled and patted Gucun's shoulder.

"Haha, you guessed it right."

"But this will cause me some trouble." Yukiko interrupted at the right time.

"Is there any problem?" Hoshima asked.

"If it's eleven o'clock, I won't be able to catch the flight back home. At this time, there is no way I can keep the children here."

"If you don't mind, let the children go to my rented house first. It's nearby." Hoshima suggested. "This way, the children can rest before watching the movie, and I will be responsible for driving them home after the movie."

"In that case, thank you very much." Yukiko agreed readily.

"Haha, would you bear to let the children live in your dirty and messy room?" Genshang joked.

"It's not dirty or messy at all." Hoshima Ren suddenly blushed. "It's a bit messy, but it's definitely clean! Of course, as long as the children don't mind."

"I don't mind!" x3
"Hey, Conan, let's stay!"

"Tomorrow is Sunday anyway."

"That is to say, after seeing the current version, we can go back and tell our classmates about the spoiler... ahem. Show off!" the children said one after another.

"Oh... okay, okay." Conan was speechless. "But you have to tell your family first."

"Hi~~~"

"Haha, in that case, let's finish the work at hand and go back to rest early!"

"That's true. This is also to celebrate the completion of the filming and prepare to stay up all night!"

"What does it mean to be a person who stays up late?" Mitsuhiko asked the curious baby directly.

"Haha, it means playing mahjong all night long." Hoshima explained.

"Is that so?" Yuan Tai added. "Can we fight too?"

"Hahahaha, you are still too young. You are not suitable for playing mahjong. But let me tell you..." When it comes to entertainment, Hoshima also started talking about it from a distance.

"Hey, Shin-chan, Kaoru-chan. Come here~" Yukiko called the two of us over in a low voice from the back of the crowd. "What's wrong?"

"Ariel-chan, Kaoru-chan. I'll leave this to you guys. I'll be leaving soon."

"Okay. Don't worry, Sister Yukiko." I nodded to signal Yukiko to rest assured.

"By the way, about the car behind us just now." Conan asked. "Are you sure you got rid of it?"

"Oh, you found it." Yukiko raised her lips. "Of course I got rid of it. I accelerated on purpose. But... who was it?"

"No matter who they are, they are a threat to us." Hearing the conversation between the two, my expression turned a little colder.

"Could it be someone from the organization?"

"It's possible." I scratched my head. "But I don't think it's likely. We haven't had any targets discovered here. If there were, we would have already started a firefight."

"Who could it be?" Conan rested his chin on his hand and thought.

"I have thought of a possibility." Yukiko also pretended to be deep in thought, then she squatted down with a smile and joked with us. "Maybe he is my fan! He wants to follow us, find my residence and ask for my autograph or something."

"Hey, hey..." Conan's half-moon eyes.

"Haha, that's right, Sister Yukiko is still as charming as ever." "But for safety's sake, Sister Yukiko, this is for you."

As I said this, I took out a black ring from my arms. This ring was exquisitely crafted and full of technology. It didn't look like a decorative ring at all.

"What is this?" Yukiko looked at the exquisite ring on her hand with a puzzled look.

"It's a location tracking device, and it also has a messaging function," I explained to Yukiko. "The button on the side can turn on the signal. If Yukiko-sister is in danger or needs to contact someone urgently, she can use this ring to send a message. It's basically a ring-shaped phone, but it's more concealed."

"Hey~ It's quite convenient." Yukiko put the ring on her hand and took a look. Although the shape of the ring was a bit strange, it didn't feel out of place on Yukiko's hand.

"Yeah, anyway, don't worry, Sister Yukiko. This ring is useless outside of Japan, so you can contact me anytime in the country."

"Hehe, you are really worthy of being called Kaoru-chan~" Yukiko hugged me and rubbed me again. "Okay, I'll go drive away first. By the way, I'll go see if the person following us is my crazy fan."

"..."

"Well, everyone, I'm going to go back first. I'll let Mr. Hosima take you to the apartment later~"

"Hi~~"

Yukiko drove away from the scene first, and the children went to Hoshima's apartment.

I have to say that the habits of people working in the film industry are really... If they don't put something in the right place, they won't be able to find it.

“It’s really messy here.”

"At least clean up a little bit."

"Haha, this is the true portrayal of the boys' dormitory." Hoshima felt a little embarrassed.

"Then let's tidy up a bit before we go to bed." As a little princess who was used to living in a high-end apartment, Ayumi was naturally willing to help tidy up the room.

"Oh, no, don't!" Hoshima hurriedly stopped him. "Please don't pack it up, or I won't be able to find it."

"Huh?" Ayumi was confused by this.

"Okay, Ayumi, don't worry about him." I advised. "In their industry, they often have to work overtime at night, so the things they put on hand are always in places they are familiar with. If someone secretly moves the place and they can't find it, they will be very anxious."

"Is that so?" After hearing what I said, Ayumi put the disk she was about to pack back to its original place.

"Huh... I feel relieved." Hoshima sighed. "Thanks, little brother."

Giving me a thankful smile, Hoshima continued walking towards the bedroom.

"This is where the kids can rest together." He turned on the bedroom light. Apart from the bed, the rest of the place was as messy as the outside. "We adults will rest in other rooms and on the sofa. You can sleep here now. This bed will be a bit crowded if you lie sideways, but it should be able to accommodate six children."

"Hey~~~" For some reason, the three children's faces turned red with excitement.

"Ahem, ah..." Just when the children were still in a state of excitement, a slightly excited voice suddenly came from outside the house. "It's been a hard day's work today. Those who stayed up late tonight should also work hard! As for the result... I'll tell you later."

"What is he doing?" Looking outside the door, I saw the man named Gucun holding a camera and recording something himself.

"That guy, Komura, has recently become obsessed with a project of filming his own diary with a camera. So he records his movements every day," Mr. Negami explained to us.

"Okay. I have some work to do, so I'll go back to the Phenomenon Institute first. Hoshima, please bring the kids back before the screening."

"Oh, don't worry." Hoshima nodded. "Then, kids, go get some rest too. We're going to the movies in a few hours, so make sure you get some rest before that."

"Hi~~~"
