Chapter 180 The Meaning of Living

"You must not eat it again." Maya pushed the bowl far away, as if she was away from something terrible, shook her head repeatedly, and said: "You must not come here too much, it is easy to gain weight, no, absolutely

You will gain weight."

"Just exercise more, like me running a half marathon every day, and you won't be afraid of getting fat no matter how much you eat." Chiba Cheng slowly and methodically ate his second bowl. Today, Obik is a rare unlimited supply.

Unlike before, they only served one bowl and immediately chased him away in disgust after finishing the meal.

Maya nodded and said: "Now I know why you are still a special reporter even though you have shot several exclusive news. You spend all your time running. If you spend more time on interviews, you will probably become a well-known reporter long ago."<

/p>

"Journalism is just a side job, it doesn't matter."

Maya asked curiously: "So what is your main business?"

I have known Chiba Cheng for so long. Every time I call him, he has time. He is too idle and has no motivation at all for interviews. Like this time, she finally got an interview pass, but this guy

Not even a single celebrity was interviewed.

You can't just ask him to do an exclusive interview, right? This is not possible at any time, and singing concerts don't happen every day. It's really too salty.

"Do you believe me when I say we can fight monsters?" Chiba Makoto said in his heart, but when it came to his mouth, it changed to: "Check the myths and legends from all over the world. So many myths and legends actually existed. It's very interesting.

Isn't it?"

Maya thought about the fairy tales recorded in Chiba Makoto's notebook that she saw a few days ago. If they were all true, then... they seemed very scary. How could they be interesting?

"For example," Chiba Cheng raised his hand and pointed at Obik who was clearing the chopping board, and said, "Have you heard of Obik?"

"..." Obik turned his head and glared at Chiba Cheng with dissatisfaction. What do you mean by saying his lines in front of him? That's too much.

"Obik?" Maya was startled, why did the topic turn to this, and said uncertainly: "I seem to have heard this ghost story on the radio station, why are you talking about this?"

"Hey, that's him."

"Huh?" Maya was stunned, and subconsciously turned to look at the noodle stall owner with a kind smile. The lid of the noodle pot between them suddenly moved, and then took off on the spot, and a black thing came from inside.

Rushing out, shouting loudly as he rushed out: "Come and play with Obik."

But as early as the pot made a noise, Chiba Cheng raised his hand quickly and covered Maya's eyes, so that Maya could only hear the voice of the fourth person, saying repeatedly: "What's wrong? Why are you covering my eyes?"

?"

"Because otherwise, you might not be able to sleep tonight," Qianye Cheng saw the black thing reentering the pot, then he put down his hand and said, "I was scared at first.

Datiao, you little coward, don’t be frightened. By the way, you are obviously a cosmic being, why are you afraid of ghosts?”

Maya said angrily: "Can't people in the universe be afraid of ghosts?"

After saying that, he thought that Qianye Cheng said that the boss was Obik, and he was immediately frightened. He leaned close to Qianye Cheng, who was already very close, and said in a very low voice: "Don't scare me.

."

The atmosphere is really suitable for the occasion. It is surrounded by silence and darkness. It is a natural place for ghost stories. No matter how courageous the person is, walking on this road will make him feel guilty.

"He didn't scare you. I am indeed Obik." Obik 'cooperated' with Chiba Cheng, and then continued to clean up his operating table, saying: "I have lived in this village for as long as I have

I had forgotten all about it, but I saw with my own eyes that this place slowly changed from a small village to what it is now, with thatched houses turning into brick houses and then into high-rise buildings."

"Thatch house?!" This word, which she had only seen in museums, shocked Maya with a creepy feeling. Her whole body was about to stick to Chiba Cheng's body, and said: "You...you know?"

"Well! He is indeed not a human, but an old monster who has lived for a long time."

"It's very rude to call an old man that way."

Not to be outdone, Chiba Makoto retorted: "Then you act like a respectable old man. It's boring to set up a stall here all day to scare people."

"I just..." Obik's tone lowered and he said: "I don't know what to do anymore. All the familiar things are gone, and all traces of existence have disappeared. What's the meaning of existence?"<

/p>

"Who knows?" Chiba Cheng didn't know what to say. He had already said everything he should say, and he couldn't give Obik a reason to live. Isn't it better to just live?

Then who can tell him what is good about living?

Life is stressful, you have to be extremely busy just to have three meals a day, you endure the boss's unreasonableness, Party A's difficulties... All of this can be said to be for your family to live a good life. After a busy day, dragging on

Returning with a tired body, you can still enjoy the warmth of family.

But Obik has no family for a long time, and has lived alone in this world for a long, long time, until he himself has become numb, and now even the last familiar things have disappeared.

Obik sighed and said: "I really don't know where to go? Leaving here and living just for the sake of living really has no meaning anymore. Why bother?"

Maya sat there, looked at Chiba Makoto, and then took a peek at the noodle stall owner who suddenly became depressed. She didn't understand why they suddenly switched to the philosophical topic of 'the meaning of living'?

What is this for?

The more mundane your career is, the more you like to discuss high-level things, such as national affairs, philosophy of life, etc.

Chiba Cheng took out two banknotes and put them into the wooden box, then stood up and said goodbye to Obik, and Obik just nodded and continued to clean up his seemingly endless chopping boards until Chiba

Cheng got on his motorcycle and disappeared around the corner. Then he raised his head and stared at the empty street in a daze.

Maya, who was sitting on the back seat of the motorcycle, hugged Chiba Makoto's waist and couldn't help but look back at the soba stall. The lights dimmed and merged completely with the darkness, making the road look even more terrifying.

He quickly turned his head and shouted: "What on earth were you talking about just now?"

"His name is Obik, he has lived here for a long time, and now he wants to make a big fuss and then die."

"Huh?" Maya was shocked by this amazing turn of events. She had never seen anything like this before. Not only did she set up a stall in a secluded place to sell soba noodles, but she also made a big fuss and then died. Ghosts are so common these days.

Is it personal? You wouldn’t dare to shoot a horror movie like this, right?
