Chapter 24 Competitors

The season has gradually entered late summer and early autumn, and the weather has begun to turn cooler in most parts of Japan. However, in Chiba Prefecture, which is located in the Kanto Plain, the temperature has increased inversely.

It is even hotter than the hottest period of summer. This abnormal weather has attracted widespread attention from society.

Naturally, the trio from KCB TV station would not let go of this opportunity to investigate.

Recently, a photographer appeared in the industry. He always captured the exclusive news of monsters causing chaos before them. The editor-in-chief of the TV station expressed great dissatisfaction with this.

Boku Lagu missed it, they also missed the robot on the Boso Peninsula, and they didn't know when it appeared at Onuma Dam some time ago. It was said to be a big bug that was resurrected by ancient creatures. They didn't even know the news about it at all.

So when I heard about the abnormal weather in Chiba Prefecture this time, I remembered Mr. Tabata that a sea monster had appeared in this area. He immediately drove to Chiba Prefecture to capture exclusive information before that mysterious photographer!

"Oh my god, it's really hot!" Lunwen, who was driving, opened the window to let in the air and was sweating profusely.

"My makeup is all gone..." Reiko sat in the back row, wiping sweat while reapplying her makeup.

The hottest place is the Oilfield Mountains in Chiba Prefecture, which is some distance from the sea. The first people to report the weather to the authorities were the villagers living nearby.

The trio parked the van on the side of the road, and Mr. Tabata planned to shoot some interviews in the town first.

"Lingzi, stop putting on makeup, a resident just happened to be here."

Lunwen, who was carrying the camera, kept wiping his sweat. He stood under the shade of a tree, waiting for Reiko who was lingering, and looked at the surrounding environment. In this hot weather, there were almost no people walking on the road.

Even when they came all the way here, they didn't meet many people in the town.

It was rare that a middle-aged man on a bicycle came toward them. Mr. Tabata couldn't bear it and went to the car to urge Reiko, who was always touching up her makeup.

"Okay, okay!" Reiko muttered, quickly wiped the sweat on her forehead with a tissue, then picked up the phone and jumped out of the car.

Mr. Tabata stopped the middle-aged man who happened to be in front of him, and Lunwen had already set up the camera.

Reiko immediately stepped forward, with a standard smile on her face for a second and asked: "Hello, we are interviewers from KCB TV station. Can I interrupt you for a moment?"

The middle-aged man who was suddenly stopped was stunned, then nodded and said: "Ah, yes, but I happen to have something to do right now, I hope it won't take too long."

"Okay, do you live near here?"

The middle-aged man shook his head: "No."

Reiko: "..."

As a well-trained professional interviewer, Reiko only froze for half a second before reacting and continued to ask with a smile: "It's like this. The temperature in Chiba Prefecture suddenly increased unseasonably, especially near the Oilfield Mountain."

It even reached an astonishing 40 degrees at noon. Do you know the reason?"

The middle-aged man shook his head again and apologized: "Sorry, I don't know. This is indeed strange."

Reiko couldn't help but glance at Mr. Tabata who was connecting the line in the car. After receiving the gesture from the other party, she continued to ask: "Then do you know when the temperature changed? Or, has anything happened around here?

Have you experienced any other unusual events?”

"About half a month ago." The middle-aged man finally gave some news this time. He was very sure and seemed to have been paying attention to this matter.

"So, what is the specific situation?" Reiko asked hurriedly.

"Since the beginning of autumn, the temperature in Chiba Prefecture has not dropped, and it is still starting to rise slowly. It has become even hotter recently. Oh, by the way, nothing abnormal has been discovered. It is really baffling."

"Yeah, the recent changes on the earth are indeed very strange." Reiko listened and deliberately guided the conversation, hoping that this person would tell more news.

But the middle-aged man apologized again: "I'm sorry, I should leave."

"Ah, okay, thank you for the interview." Because the middle-aged man just said that he had something to do, Reiko didn't force him to stay. After bowing and thanking him, she watched the man continue riding his bicycle towards the oil field mountain.

"He seems to be going to the mountains?"

Lunwen stopped filming, looked at the back of the middle-aged man and said doubtfully.

Just by staying here, they already felt that the heat was unbearable. Wouldn't it be even hotter in the mountains?

Mr. Tabata looked at the scene just taken, and then said: "Let's interview a few more people in the village first, and then also go to the mountains. I suspect there may be something there, and we must get the news this time!"

"ah……"

Lun Wen couldn't help lowering his head and wailing, holding the camera in one hand and fanning the wind wildly with the other.

As for Reiko, as soon as the interview ended, she couldn't wait to run back to the car and turn on the small fan to touch up her makeup.

The trio then interviewed two people in the town at the foot of the mountain, but neither of them got any useful information. The residents' reactions were almost always complaining and then shaking their heads, looking confused.

Apparently they themselves didn't know what was going on.

"Forget it, let's go to the mountains."

Mr. Tabata frowned and said, since interviewing the residents is useless, they might as well go in and find out the news themselves.

After loading all the shooting tools into the car, Lunwen got into the driver's seat, started the car with a grimace and headed towards the depths of the oil field mountain.

The mountain road was very difficult to walk. The bumps made Reiko feel dizzy. She casually looked out the window and suddenly found a figure on a secluded path lined with trees.

"Wait, there seems to be someone there?" Reiko patted Mr. Tabata sitting in front of her.

"Stop!" Tabata said immediately, and Lunwen subconsciously stepped on the brakes.

He quickly unbuckled his seat belt and pushed the door to get out of the car. Tabata looked in the direction Reiko pointed, and indeed saw the back of a walking person, so he turned back and said to the two of them: "Lunwen carries the equipment, Reiko quickly follows.

.”

"Coming, coming." Reiko looked in the mirror, picked up the phone and got out of the car.

Tabata took the lead and ran over there, trying to stop the people in front: "Sorry, please wait a moment!"

Perhaps hearing the sound, the man with his back to them stopped walking and turned around to look.

He was a gentle and handsome young man. After Tabata ran nearby, he wiped his sweating forehead and said politely: "Sorry, we are KCB interviewers. Can I disturb you for a moment?"

"Okay." The young man nodded with a smile, his attitude was very gentle, making people relax unconsciously.

Tabata, who was sweating all over because of the heat, suddenly noticed that this man had a very leisurely posture. He was wearing a white shirt and black trousers, and there was no sign of sweat on his face. He seemed not to be affected by the heat at all.

He felt a little strange and secretly looked at the young man. At this moment, Lunwen and Reiko had also ran over. The two quickly got into position, and Tabata stepped back, leaving space for them to interview.

"Hello, are you from around here?" Reiko asked with a standard smile as her expression changed.

The young man's smile was also standard. He shook his head: "No."
