Chapter 563 A Fateful Encounter, The Sixth Sense Released (Part 1)
Today is an important festival for all of China – the Dragon Boat Festival.

Chinese people all over the world are spontaneously carrying out customs that have been passed down for thousands of years, such as wrapping zongzi (sticky rice dumplings) and dragon boat racing...

The ancient civilization, spanning thousands of years, exudes its unique charm.

Meanwhile, in Japan, just across the sea, although they don't celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival, an important event also takes place on this day.

That means Takeshi Oni's new movie has been released!
To maximize profits, two similar films could not be released at the same time, so "The Sixth Sense" was scheduled to be released first.

As evening fell, countless people entered the cinema with anticipation.

This included a group of children from Teitan Elementary School.

Wearing matching cute school uniforms and little yellow hats, they walked hand in hand into the movie theater under the guidance of their teachers.

"Boss Ayumi, I heard it's a horror movie they're watching this time, and I'm a little scared to watch it..."

A cute little girl with a round face timidly approached Ayumi's side, her expression showing a hint of fear as she whispered something.

Ayumi didn't mind being called the "big sister".

Ever since Ono Takeshi came to help her attend the parent-teacher conference last time, Ayumi has been passively unified in Class 1-B and has been unanimously elected by all the students as the undisputed leader.

Gradually, students in other classes were also influenced, and as the legend of Oni Takeshi continued to spread among the children, Ayumi's reputation grew day by day.

In the end, she brought the entire first grade of Teitan Elementary School under her command.

Even many older students fell for Ayumi's school uniform skirt.

He became the de facto "first leader of the Yoshida Group"!
At first, Ayumi was quite embarrassed by this nickname, but she gradually got used to it.

Upon hearing this, Ayumi, in a very bossy way, patted her younger sister on the shoulder and comforted her, saying, "Don't worry, Yuyuko, it's just a movie, there's nothing to be afraid of!"

This is a movie directed by Takeshi Kaneshiro, you know. You love "Kiki's Delivery Service," right? That was also directed by Takeshi Kaneshiro.

"Yeah, yeah, we're not afraid at all!"

Mitsuhiko and Genta, who were standing nearby, also came over and joined in with laughter.

Conan, who was walking at the back, explained with a smile: "Don't worry, after the movie is completed, it will be reviewed by the Film Ethics Committee before it can be released. If it is not suitable for viewing, it will be restricted. If it is suitable for our children to watch, it will definitely not be scary."

Hearing her friends say that, Saigyouji Yuyuko felt slightly relieved and nodded.

Hearing that "The Sixth Sense" is a horror movie, many students, like Yuyuko Saigyouji, were worried and dared not watch it, but they were unwilling to admit their fear to their friends, so they could only grit their teeth and come along.

I couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.

But as Conan said, anything shown to children in a public screening certainly won't have any overly frightening scenes.

In fact, the original "The Sixth Sense" focuses more on psychological suspense than on simply pursuing sensory stimulation.

Although it contains some horror elements, the overall tone is warm and suspenseful, with very little horror content and no deliberately created, continuous scare scenes.

The few terrifying scenes were brief and restrained.

On this basis, Takeshi Ono exercised control again during filming.

While trying to maintain the original flavor, some overly terrifying scenes were cut.

The goal, of course, is to reach a wider audience.

The core of the plot of "The Sixth Sense" is warmth and redemption, rather than horror, so this does not have a significant impact on the quality of the film.

In addition, Oni no Eiga subsequently conducted public relations efforts with the Film Ethics Association. Given Oni no Takeshi and Oni no Eiga's current status and influence in the industry, the Film Ethics Association would naturally not easily offend them.

So they turned a blind eye and rated "The Sixth Sense" as suitable for all ages. The children were already seated, waiting for the movie to start.

Sumiko Kobayashi, a young teacher who had recently taken on the role of teacher in Class 1-B, was quite responsible. She checked on each child one by one and carefully comforted them before returning to her seat.

At that moment, a figure sat down next to Kobayashi Sumiko.

The latter turned around as if sensing something and found that the person sitting next to him was a tall man.

He has short hair with coral-shaped bangs, wide eyebrows that droop down to the sides, a long and thin face, and a wide chin. He is very handsome.

Kobayashi Sumiko couldn't help but take another look.

Noticing the gaze from beside him, Shiratori Ninzaburo, who had taken a rare day off to come see a movie, turned his gaze and met a pair of clear eyes.

After seeing the girl's appearance clearly, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

This girl... why does she look so much like Miwako Sato?

Sumiko Kobayashi felt a little embarrassed when she was caught peeking at someone.

However, just as she was about to turn back and pretend nothing had happened, Shiratori Ninzaburo suddenly spoke up as if by magic:
"Hello, my name is Shiratori Ninzaburo. May I ask your surname, miss?"

"Xiao, Xiaolin Chengzi..."

……

at the same time.

A movie theater in Beika Town.

Kinukawa Kazuki once again made an excuse to invite his mother, Sae Asaka, to see a movie together.

In the movie "The Sixth Sense", Kazuki Kinukawa also got a cameo role with a significant amount of screen time, so he used this as an excuse to invite Asaka Saegusa out.

The purpose, of course, was to spend more time with her mother.

Although the mother and son tacitly maintained a state of knowing the truth but denying it, the innate affection between them compelled them to meet again and again.

Especially Kinukawa Kazuki, after finding his mother Saegusa Asaka with the help of Kogoro Mouri and others, could not suppress his longing for maternal love, even though he didn't say it.

And isn't the same true of the three incense sticks?
But now that her son is famous, although she had no choice but to abandon him back then, it is still a past that is difficult for him to mention.

Worried about affecting her son's career, Asaka Saegusa could only suppress the urge to acknowledge him, yet she couldn't help but meet him whenever Kinukawa and Teru made an appointment.

At this moment, the mother and son are sitting in the screening room, waiting for the movie to start.

Although they couldn't recognize each other, being able to sit together and watch a movie like this was a source of unprecedented satisfaction for Kazuki Kinukawa.

“Hehui…”

Asaka Michiko looked at her son, who was so close to her, her lips parted as if she wanted to say something but couldn't, her mind racing with a thousand thoughts.

Kinukawa Kazuki smiled. His upbringing had made him much more mature than other children his age. He could understand Asaka Mie's concerns and was willing to play along with her pretending not to know.

But looking at his mother sitting right next to him, whom he couldn't recognize, he couldn't help but feel a little lost deep down.

Amidst the complex emotions of the mother and son, the lights in the screening room suddenly dimmed.

The atmosphere became quiet.

The movie has started!
