Chiba Makoto has a lot to say, what life is precious, living is more important than anything else... Countless examples can prove that life is precious, don’t give up easily.
But now, he can't say a word. It's hard to leave his hometown. Do the old people living in the "ghost village" in the photo really don't know that big cities have good medical conditions and convenient life? They just don't want to leave, and they don't even want to leave.
When he was old, he returned to his hometown from a big city.
When a bird flies back to its hometown, the fox must be dead!
Fallen leaves return to their roots, this is a romantic feeling unique to Eastern people.
Chiba Makoto didn't try to persuade him any more, he just left the pile of photos and addresses of the 'ghost villages' he had collected, as well as the route on how to get to these villages from here. This was his last effort, although he felt that it would not have any effect.
.
The civet cat that also lives in this town should have tried to persuade Obik more than once, but none of the same kind could persuade Obik, which shows how firmly Obik loves his hometown.
Chiba Cheng got on his motorcycle and was about to leave. After driving for a distance, he couldn't help but look back. In the howling cold wind and under the dim street lights, Obik was alone on this secluded road.
Waiting for guests who never come.
Perhaps, he is not waiting for people to patronize his noodle stall, but just enjoying the silent night without the hustle and bustle of the day, as if he has returned to the past, the silent darkness and the quiet village.
After leaving the noodle stall on his motorcycle, Chiba Makoto did not go back to his home in Chiba. Instead, he found a hotel nearby to stay. He planned to stay here for a few days to learn about the legends of Hikono Town, and maybe he could learn about it from the side.
Know why Obik and the civet cat monks formed a group to live here.
Especially for Obik, Chiba Cheng really wanted to record his life history. If anything happens, these words are the best evidence that Obik once lived in this world.
Early the next morning, Chiba Makoto rode a motorcycle and rushed to libraries, private libraries, parks, nursing homes and other places where the elderly gather in Hikono Town, asking and recording things about Obik.
After a few days, I wrote several pages. The biggest feeling is the "forgetfulness" of young people. Master Ayan, who was once widely known in Hikono Town, only some older people still know this name, and they also learned from the previous generation.
Heard it from people’s mouths.
On summer nights, lying on the couch, parents fanned themselves and told their children stories they heard from the previous generation.
It can be said that the legend of Obik has been passed down orally from generation to generation in Hikono Town and has been passed down to this day.
Modern children have TVs, computers, and mobile phones, and they are not willing to listen to these unscientific old stories. Many ancient legends have just been discontinued. They can only find relevant records from the dusty corners of the library. Maybe one day, even
There are no records of this legend anymore, and it has been completely forgotten by people.
During the day, I walked around Hikono Town to find out about Obik's story. At night, I went to a secluded road to find Obik's noodle stall and went to eat a bowl of soba noodles with an ancient taste. Basically, Chiba Makoto told me about the changes in the outside world.
and development, while Obike is listening to what the world outside Hikono Town is like.
No one mentioned leaving Hikono Town or other related topics, because everyone knew that if they could leave, they would have left long ago, why wait until now.
After staying for five days, Chiba Cheng planned to leave. He had also recorded all the stories and legends that could be recorded. There was no point in staying any longer. It was just a waste of money.
Riding a motorcycle on the road, I looked back at Hikono Town, which was still under development. The small temple on the top of the mountain was still there, but I didn't know how long the silence could last. With a sigh, Chiba Makoto turned back and accelerated.
Leaving Hikono Town.
The closer you get to the metropolis, the wider the road, and the more cars on the road. The speed of the car has been decreasing, from 110 to 780 to 450. Every other section of the road, you have to wait for the traffic lights, and there are people and cars coming.
By car, it’s countless times more lively than Hikono Town.
Just after driving through an intersection, Chiba Cheng suddenly felt something and turned to the right. He turned the handlebar and turned the motorcycle to the right, heading towards the 'abnormality' that broke into his sensing range.
It has been more than half a year since he came to this world, and he has some guesses about his 'superpower'. He can imagine it as a radar that detects the energy emitted by big monsters like Melba and Cilizan.
The fluctuations are so strong that they can be sensed even at a very long distance. However, people like Chris Maya or Mitsuo Itabashi can only feel it at a close distance. This time the distance is not too far, so it shouldn't be a monster, maybe.
He's a cosmic person.
Following his feeling, he soon turned into a commercial street. Chiba Cheng suddenly heard a female voice screaming, but the people around him showed no reaction and continued to go their own way. Apparently they did not hear the sound.<
/p>
"What's going on?" Chiba Cheng quickly speeded up, weaving back and forth in the traffic to overtake, and he would crash if there was even a slight error. It looked particularly dangerous, and attracted a series of dissatisfied horns, but Chiba Cheng followed.
As if he didn't hear it, he braked suddenly, made a sharp 90-degree turn, and rushed into the alley next to him.
The Sherlock car on patrol was startled by the crazy motorcycle, which made Lina who was driving the car extremely dissatisfied. The co-pilot Dagu said: "The driver seems to be Chiba-kun? I remember his motorcycle license plate."<
/p>
"Huh? Him?" Lina also thought of the 'brave' reporter and said in confusion: "Why is he driving so fast?"
"We won't find another monster, right?" Dagu said jokingly. The young man's persistence in taking pictures of monsters left a deep impression on him.
"How is that possible?" Lina immediately denied it, but she stepped on the accelerator honestly, increased the speed of Sherlock's car, and chased in the direction of Chiba Cheng's motorcycle. She wanted to know what happened to make this
A reporter was so anxious that he drove his motorcycle at the speed of a small plane.
Chiba Cheng drove all the way, leaving the busy commercial area and arriving at the industrial area. He turned into an abandoned factory, which was overgrown with weeds and full of rusty pipes of varying thicknesses and huge towers standing on the ground.
Tank.
The tank forest ahead was so dense that vehicles refused to enter. Chiba Cheng stopped the car and ran forward without even having time to take off his helmet.
Just a few seconds after leaving, Sherlock drove into the factory area and parked next to the motorcycle. Dagu and Lina got off the car, glanced at the motorcycle parked on the roadside, looked at each other, nodded, and together
Run forward.
Originally they were just curious, but when Chiba Makoto's motorcycle drove into the abandoned factory area, the two of them felt that something was wrong. The factory was about to be demolished, and no one would come in without incident. And this reporter who rushed in so quickly must have
