Chapter 167 Ignorance and Religion
The silver moon is like a hook, and the sky is filled with stars.
Maya drove the car along the not-so-wide road toward the parking lot of the KCB TV headquarters, so that Chiba Makoto could retrieve the motorcycle placed there, and then go back to their homes.
Although the metropolis is located on the plains, it is also a patchwork of heights. Some districts are in highlands and some districts are in valleys. Therefore, the roads are also undulating, and even some roads are winding and serpentine.
From the twists and turns of the road, you can tell whether the area is developed. Wealthy areas can build bridges and roads to make dangerous situations accessible, while less affluent areas can only build roads according to the terrain.
None of these places with winding roads has a core business circle, and there are not many people and cars on ordinary days. At night, it is even deserted, and there are no people or cars for a long distance.
Chiba Makoto was sitting in the passenger seat, looking at the road ahead, and chatting wordlessly with Maya. They were all talking about today's TV show recording. The tone had already been set, praising Ultraman. , condemn monsters, and promote TPC. If you say the wrong word, the recording will be paused and re-recorded immediately, which will not give you any room to play.
The person who impressed Chiba Makoto the most was Koio Ueda, who calls himself a critic of monster disasters. When he talks, he really talks endlessly and continuously, and his mouth is like a machine gun, beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep. He was spraying words out, so the host had to interrupt him many times to signal him to give others some time to speak. After all, the main character in the recording of this show was Captain Hui Jian, followed by the popular singer Maya, who seemed like a protagonist. Crazy speech.
Chiba Makoto also specifically checked his information. This guy was originally a current affairs commentator. He criticized this and commented on that all day long. He was absolutely indispensable in any hot topic.
After Golzan and Melba appeared, they transformed into critics of monster disasters. They published their criticisms of monsters and the disasters they could cause, and communicated with major TV stations and TV stations who also needed to ride on the popularity of monsters. Radio stations, newspapers and magazines hit it off immediately, and he became the first pig to stand in the limelight, soaring into the sky.
Ever since, in the two months after Golzan appeared, this monster disaster commentator could be seen in various programs, which greatly increased his reputation. Under the packaging of the team, he became the leading monster disaster commentator. .
He is so famous that whenever a monster incident occurs, he will inevitably be invited by major TV stations to comment, so this KCB program also invited him to explain the monster disaster and Tiga Ultra from another angle. Mann's contribution.
The show was very effective. This monster disaster commentator became the brightest star on the stage. It was so dazzling that people wanted to rush up and sew his mouth shut so that his ears could be quiet. It was really He was so eloquent that Chiba Makoto could see it clearly in the audience, and Maya seemed to be frightened, staring blankly at this 'expert' who could speak a hundred words per second.
"What happens after that expert's comment? Does it have any effect?" This is something that Chiba Makoto couldn't understand. He is a critic of monster disasters. Monsters caused disasters. He commented, Then what? Will the disaster disappear?
"People always need a channel to vent," Maya looked at the winding road ahead and said: "Suddenly so many monsters appeared one after another, and humans are very scared. A few days ago, one of my assistants She resigned because her parents thought the metropolis was a nest of monsters and asked her to return to the countryside.”
"What?" Chiba Cheng turned his head in surprise, looked at Maya, and said, "Does anyone believe such outrageous remarks?"
"Because so far, most monsters appear in places far away from each other. The cities are very close.”
“So some people think that there is a monster lair under the city?” Chiba Seiwu! I can't believe that some people believe such outrageous rumors, but it seems that human IQ is not high, especially when facing a catastrophic disaster, the IQ plummets. As long as something is said to be able to cure this disease, countless people will immediately They rush in to buy it without thinking about it. If it is really effective, will ordinary people know about it before it is mass-produced and everyone can have one? It must be used on patients first.
Nowadays, the crisis that the world is facing is the endless emergence of monsters. Their tall figures, ferocious faces, and terrifying destructive power bring people more fear than disasters. People's fear of monsters The fear is understandable. Maya, who is in the entertainment industry, is well-informed. She has heard more than one version of the doomsday speech. They all say that monsters are sent to punish humans, and the world will be destroyed. Only those who believe in so-and-so can be saved.
The answer is so simple that it would be thrown into the trash can in any advertising company, but it has attracted a large number of men and women to pray devoutly, kneel down, and make offerings, hoping that monsters will not appear around them. Let their family be safe.
Chiba Makoto was both ridiculous and sad when he heard this. Are they really ignorant?
Yes, it is very stupid. They know that it is of no use at all, but they are still willing to believe it, because they have no way to face the monster. No matter how hard they try, they cannot defeat it. People who are at a loss can only If you can place your hope on the eternal, perfect, and transcendent God to seek comfort,
you can only place your hope on it for peace of mind.
Is it ridiculous to pray to God and worship Buddha just for peace? Not ridiculous!
"They worship those wood carvings and clay sculptures. They might as well worship Ultraman Tiga. Now Ultraman Tiga has been protecting the world. He is the real god." Maya turned the steering wheel and turned the car around. I accidentally caught a glimpse of the road reflector at the corner. It was broken. The cracks spread from the middle to the edge. At first glance, it seemed to form some kind of pattern.
"Do you worship Ultraman Tiga?" Chiba Cheng subconsciously raised his hand to his chest, touched the hard divine light rod, and said: "There is nothing to worship, living in a world with Ultraman The world of Terman and monsters is a very sad thing for ordinary people. A world that can maintain peace and order without heroes is the happiest."< br>
“Oh, that’s very philosophical. Is this the result of your exclusive interview today?”
“Why do you still mention the exclusive interview? I’ve already explained it, but I just ran into Kiriello again. The German was asked to make a transcript.”
“You are the only one who can be personally recorded by Captain Victory.”
Chiba Cheng leaned his head on the back of the seat and sighed: "I would rather just watch them on the TV screen than see them in person."
Feeling that Chiba Cheng was a little depressed, Maya Changing the topic, he said: "Yesterday I saw a post on the forum claiming to be an angel welcome party. He We think it’s because of the existence of Ultraman that monsters are created.”
Halfway through her words, the car engine suddenly stalled. Maya quickly restarted the engine, but after pressing the restart button several times, nothing happened. In response, the speed of the car that lost power dropped very quickly, but this was obviously a downhill road.
"What's going on?" Maya reluctantly tried to start the engine, muttering: "It was just inspected a few days ago, how could it be broken? Damn it!"
"Forget it, call me." Chiba Cheng was about to say something to comfort Maya, but suddenly he was startled and suddenly turned his head to look behind him. At the same time, the car suddenly drove backwards towards the high slope behind, but The engine didn't start at all.
