Chapter 134 The Target of Exile
Chiba Makoto has a lot to say, what life is precious, and 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 there are even some who return to their hometown from big cities when they are old.
When a bird flies and rebels against its hometown, a fox will surely be the first to die!
Falling leaves return to their roots, this is a romantic feeling unique to Eastern people.
Chiba Makoto did not try to persuade him any more, but just left the stack of photos and addresses of the 'ghost villages' he had collected, as well as the routes 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 Makoto got on his motorcycle and was about to leave. He drove some distance away, but he couldn't help but look back. In the howling cold wind and under the dim street lights, Obik was alone here. A secluded alley, waiting for guests who will 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 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. , maybe we can learn from the side why Obik and the civet cat monks formed a group to live here.
Especially for Obik, Chiba Cheng really wanted to record his life journey. 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 information about Obik thing.
After a few days, I wrote several pages. The biggest feeling is the 'forgetfulness' of young people. Only some older people still know the name of Master Ayan, who was once widely known in Hikono Town. , I also heard it from the people of the previous generation.
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 Obike 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.
Wander around Hikono Town during the day to find out about Obik’s story, and at night go to a secluded road to find Obik’s noodle stall and eat a bowl of soba noodles with an ancient taste. Basically, Chiba Makoto talks about the changes and developments in the outside world, 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 Makoto 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 a big city, the wider the road, and the more cars on the road. The speed of the car keeps decreasing, from 110 to 780 to 450. Every other section of the road, you have to wait for the traffic light, with people and cars coming. Going by car, it is countless times more lively than Hikono Town.
Just after driving through an intersection, Chiba Cheng suddenly felt something and turned his head to look to the right. He turned the handlebar and made the motorcycle turn right, heading towards the 'abnormality' that broke into his sensing range. .
Having been in this world for more than half a year, he has also made some guesses about his 'superpower'. He can imagine it as a detection radar like Melba and Cilizan. The energy fluctuations emitted by monsters are so strong that they can be sensed even from a very long distance away. However, people like Chris Maya or Mitsuo Itabashi can only feel it at a close distance. This time the distance is not too far. , probably not a monster, maybe a cosmic being.
Following the feeling, he soon turned into a commercial street. Chiba Cheng suddenly heard a female voice screaming, but the people around him did not respond. They were still going their separate ways. Obviously, there was no Hear this sound.
"What's going on?" Chiba Cheng hurriedly speeded up, weaving back and forth in the traffic to overtake. If there was even a slight error, he would crash. It looked particularly dangerous, and attracted a series of dissatisfied horns. , but Chiba Cheng didn't seem to hear it. He braked suddenly, made a sharp ninety-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."< br>
"Huh? Him?" Lina also remembered He caught the 'brave' reporter and asked puzzledly: "Why is he driving so fast?"
"You won't find another monster, right?" Dagu said jokingly, and the young man took the photo The 'perseverance' of the monster photo left a deep impression on him.
"How is it possible?" Lina immediately denied it, but she stepped on the accelerator honestly, increased the speed of Sherlock's car, and chased Chiba Cheng's motorcycle. She wanted to know What happened that made this reporter 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 towering towers. Huge tanks on the ground.
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.
A few seconds after leaving, Sherlock drove into the factory and parked next to the motorcycle. Dagu and Lina got out of the car, glanced at the motorcycle parked on the roadside, and looked at each other. Take a look, nod, and run forward together.
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 was so He rushed in quickly, something must have happened.
Yesterday’s third update, I paid what I owed!
