Obik left, pulling his quaint and old buckwheat noodle stall along the dark path, slowly walking into the darkness and disappearing into the darkness.
Chiba Makoto stood there and stared at the direction where Obike disappeared for a long time. Obike refused to leave Hikono Village, which was expected. He is an earthbound spirit, and the reason for his existence is his attachment and dissatisfaction with Hikonomura.
Once he no longer loves his hometown and stays away from his hometown, he will disappear because he loses the reason for his existence.
"Really..." Maya couldn't bear it. She had seen too many aliens who were full of malice or ambition, but Obik was completely different. He didn't have any aggression at all. He seemed precious, but he wanted to
Disappearance is just too...too...
Chiba Cheng pulled Maya up, held it tightly, felt the warmth in his palm, and said with some melancholy: "He is alive, but he is only alive."
"Is there no other way?"
Chiba Makoto didn't say anything. He could ask Director Sawai to help stop the development of Hikono's mountain and reserve a place for Obik to live. He could even use Ultraman Tiga's identity to pay a price in exchange for TPC's help.
Rebuilding Hikono Village
But this is not what Obik wants.
He wanted to return to Hikono Village in his memory and stay there forever, but in front of him there were only strange villages, strange people, and a strange world.
Even if Hikono Village is rebuilt for Obik, how many people can move in?
Without spacious roads, large shopping malls with rich products, no amusement parks, and various modern appliances, it would just become empty like many remote villages.
Are a group of people forced to live somewhere?
It's impossible. Once you've passed it, you really can't come back. Even if you do it forcefully, it will only stop for a while and then move forward.
Time will not stop passing for a person, nor will society stand still for a person.
Maya didn't say anything more, she just squeezed Chiba Cheng's hand and leaned against him.
In the silence of the night, Chiba Cheng suddenly said: "Can you play the ocarina?"
"I know a little bit."
"Teach me."
As the night passed, the sun rose from the east, casting endless light and heat. Yanye woke up after sleeping all night. There were gradually more people and cars on the road, and construction machinery as big as a house also rumbled.
, and began to be busy making the town better.
It looks so orderly.
But a rumor is spreading among people:
"Did you hear that?"
"What?"
"Haven't you heard of the legend of Obik?"
"You're talking about Obik. I heard that he specializes in eating bad boys who don't come home at night."
"...Did you hear this from the children in kindergarten?"
"Isn't it?"
"..."
The pursuit of novelty is a common mentality of human beings, and it is also the nature of human repeaters to spread all kinds of boring and false-sounding remarks.
One passes two, two passes four, four passes eight...
Soon, most of Hikono's students knew the legend of Obik, and soon the young people working in Hikono also knew about it, and brought the legend to all directions. Various versions of the story were told vividly and vividly.
well-known.
But there are as many as eight hundred such rumors a year. Not to mention ordinary people, even TPC staff with strict disciplines like to spread all kinds of gossip in private, especially after being injured.
Lying on the hospital bed, facing the little nurse, in order to show that I am knowledgeable and knowledgeable, I want to brag a cow into a bull devil.
Therefore, although everyone told each other about the suddenly popular legend of Obik, it was just for fun, and no one took it seriously, otherwise they would be laughed at: Such an adult still believes in ghosts.
However, the wide spread of Obike has made some old people still in Hikono recall that when they were children, under the starry sky at night, their grandfather was sitting in the yard, fanning a big cattail leaf fan, telling ancient stories... p>
Under the same starry sky, next to a road in Hikono New District that has just been repaired and has not yet been paved with street lights, a will-o'-the-wisp boy is immersed in a bowl of the sea, wolfing down soba noodles. After driving in the middle of the night, he was hungry.
It’s broken. When I saw this soba noodle stall, I came here as soon as I smelled the aroma.
While the food was delicious, the stall owner turned on the radio that could be put in the museum and began to listen to the late-night broadcast. The host used a listless voice and told the so-called late-night ghost story: "...Suddenly a hole came out of the sewer.
He grabbed his arm with one hand and said..."
The will-o'-the-wisp boy swallowed the noodles in his mouth and said, "Uncle, I'm listening to such a boring story in the middle of the night."
"Then let me tell you a story," the stall owner turned around with a stiff smile on his face and said, "Have you... heard of Obik?"
"Obik?" The will-o'-the-wisp boy sneered: "Uncle, this story is old and cliche. No one has... no one..."
His voice became softer and softer, and his expression became more and more frightened, because the pot, the pot that cooked noodles for him, quietly stretched out a head that was exactly the same as the stall owner, but with a long neck like a snake and a face.
He had the same stiff smile and made a child-like voice: "Play with me, come and play with Obik."
"Uh-huh!" The will-o'-the-wisp boy yelled in horror. A cold air rose up to the top of his head, making his hair stand on end. He suddenly collapsed to the ground, but he used his hands and feet to roll backwards.
But the head on the snake's body suddenly stretched out, and its mouth grew bigger and bigger, shouting: "Come and play with Obik."
The will-o'-the-wisp boy rolled his eyes, passed out, and lay motionless on the ground. The human head and snake body stopped for a moment, and then changed back to a black appearance. He lightly touched the person on the ground, but the other person showed no signs of movement.
In response, Shadow turned his head and said: "He fainted."
The stiff smile on Obik's face disappeared, and he regained his calm expression, saying: "Very good, Shadow, follow the plan and send him far away, and then we will find the next person."
"Understood!" Shadow said, rolled up the young man, quickly retracted into the pot, and disappeared.
With a wave of his hand, Obik made the bench on the ground automatically fly up to the stall, then he pulled up the car and started running. But after running a few steps, he stopped because at the intersection in front of him, a man stood there, staring at the scene.
Bian, obviously saw everything he did just now.
"Have you decided yet?" The emotionless voice echoed in the cold night.
Obik did not answer, but turned his head, then pulled the car around him, continued to run forward, and soon disappeared into the darkness.
