After sleeping until about three o'clock in the morning, Chiba Makoto got up refreshed. Under the attention of the housewives in the town, he wore sportswear and ran at full speed on the road in the town, which was only four or five meters wide.
Although the daily ten kilometers is basically no improvement for Chiba Makoto, who has extraordinary physical fitness, it is better than nothing and can be regarded as maintaining his condition.
It wasn't until noon that he finished his long-distance running and boxing kung fu training. He ran home from the woods outside the town, took a shower and changed clothes. After lunch, he left the town on his scooter and headed in the direction of Hikono Town.
Go.
Chiba Makoto was driving a motorcycle on the highway around the metropolis. On the left were urban buildings densely covered with high-rise buildings, and on the right were small villages. Occasionally, he could see a few buildings under construction, silently telling
The expansion of metropolises has swallowed up small villages one after another.
The destination of his trip, Hikono Town, was originally just a very ordinary small village. Thanks to the expansion of the metropolis, an expressway was planned to pass through the middle of the small village, thus attracting a large number of business-minded people.
people began to enclose and develop large-scale land.
Old houses were demolished one after another and replaced by scattered high-rise buildings. Narrow and dilapidated stone roads were eradicated and expanded into clean asphalt roads. Bridges of different widths were erected on clear rivers.
Fences were also built, and telephone poles were erected in the streets and alleys, continuously delivering electricity to every household, lighting up the night...
The traces of the past have been completely erased in just a few years. If a traveler from afar returns to his hometown after a long absence, he will definitely feel like he is in a foreign country, because there is no familiar feeling and everything is gone.
It feels extremely strange. My hometown is still there, but my hometown is gone.
Riding a motorcycle in Hikono Town, Chiba Makoto felt the biggest feeling was that it was busy. There were a lot of construction machinery outside the town, excavators and bulldozers were busy leveling the land, and a large number of construction vehicles shuttled through it, transporting earth and stone from the highlands.
Go to low-lying areas.
Without much effort, Chiba Makoto found the hill that might be the place where Obik lives, which is the planned site for the construction of the Hikono Town Health Park. This sign, which is only one or two meters long and wide, represents this unknown place that exists.
How long has it been since the land had an 'owner'?
"Alas!" Chiba Cheng sighed slightly and continued to move forward on his motorcycle. He left the asphalt road and turned onto the dirt road in the undeveloped area. He didn't go far when he saw the mouth that looked very interesting.
At the beginning of the year, a well built with stones.
I stopped the car, leaned on the edge of the well and looked in. There was no water at the bottom of the well. The development of Hikono Town has caused a sharp increase in the population here. All water for domestic and industrial purposes has been obtained from the ground, causing the groundwater level to drop rapidly. This well is very old.
The ancient well has become a dry well, but even if it is not a dry well, there will be no one to work hard to fetch water if there is convenient running water.
However, this well is not connected to Obik's pot, but the pot can teleport people into the darkness. This well is just one of the teleportation points.
At this moment, a voice came from behind: "Young man, if you have any difficulties, you can tell me. Don't do stupid things."
"Huh?" Qianye Cheng stood up and looked back. An old man wearing half a cassock was walking towards him. He obviously thought he was unthinkable and hurriedly said: "Don't get me wrong, I'm just curious.
I didn’t want to jump."
Chiba Cheng stood up and looked at the old man who should be a layman judging from his clothes. Just as he was about to speak, he frowned slightly. This old man gave him a very wrong feeling.
The old man breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the young man leaving the edge of the well. However, he saw that there seemed to be a light flashing in the young man's eyes, giving him the illusion that he was being seen through both inside and outside. He couldn't help but stop and looked at this person in confusion.
Teenager.
In the eyes of Chiba Cheng, the old man suddenly turned into a raccoon cat wearing clothes, which made Chiba Cheng open his mouth in surprise. This is a monster. He is also a raccoon cat spirit who believes in Buddhism. This...<
/p>
Well, Chiba Makoto was indeed shocked. Although he knew that this world was very different from his previous life, he still only had a rough idea of aliens, monsters, and ghosts. Suddenly he saw a monster in human form.
, just like entering Journey to the West.
The old man felt uncomfortable looking at Qianye Cheng's X-ray eyes. He couldn't help but take a half step back, clasped his hands together and said, "In that case, excuse me."
"Um...master, do you know Obik?" Chiba Makoto quickly called out to the old master who explained the detailed information about Obik to the victory team in the original work.
"Obik?" The old man stopped and asked hesitantly: "Excuse me, are you..."
"Oh, I'm a reporter. I heard that there is a legend of Obike circulating in Hikono Town. I want to know more about this legend." Chiba Cheng hesitated for a moment and said, "Actually, I saw it once last time I came to Hikono Town.
Obik.
At that time, he was setting up a noodle stall on the street at night, and the food was very good. I wanted to get to know him better, but he drove away with the cart."
"Aren't you afraid?" The old man was a little surprised. This young man was a bit brave. Even after seeing Obik, he didn't run away in panic or be frightened. Instead, he 'scared' Obik away. This way is quite wild.
of.
"Well, I'm a little scared, but it's nothing to be afraid of. I want to know why he didn't leave but continued to stay here." Chiba Cheng looked at the town down the mountain and said, "This mountain is also going to be developed and constructed.
, in the future, more barren mountains and ridges will be built into cities and towns by humans, and the nights will be illuminated by colorful neon lights. This is no longer suitable for him, is it?"
"It seems you know a lot."
"I've heard it all, but no one can tell me why Obik doesn't leave, so I'm going to look for him tonight and ask him face to face."
"..." The old man felt that he still underestimated the boldness of this young man. Others could avoid Obik, but he actually wanted to take the initiative to find him.
