Chapter 180 The Meaning of Living
"You can never eat it again." Maya pushed the bowl far away, as if she was away from something terrible, shook her head repeatedly, and said: "There must be no more food in this place. Come on, it’s easy to gain weight, no, you will definitely gain weight.”
"Just exercise more, like me running a half marathon every day, no matter how much you eat, you won't be afraid of getting fat." Chiba Makoto ate his second bowl slowly and methodically, Obik was very rare today The food is served in unlimited quantities, unlike before, where only one bowl was served, and he was immediately chased away in disgust after finishing the meal.
Maya nodded and said: "Now I know why you have obviously shot several exclusive news and are still a special reporter. You spend all your time running. If you spend more time on interviews, you must have become a special reporter long ago. A well-known journalist.”
“Journalism is just a side job, it doesn’t matter.”
Maya asked curiously: "So what is your main business?"
I have known Chiba Makoto for so long, and every time I call him, he has time. She didn't have any motivation at all. Like this time, she finally managed to get an interview pass, but in the end, this guy didn't interview any celebrities.
You can’t let him do an exclusive interview yourself, right? When is this not possible? Singing performances don’t happen every day. It’s just too boring.
‘Do you believe me when I say we can fight monsters? 'Qianye Cheng said in his heart, but when it came to his mouth, it turned into: "Looking up the myths and legends from all over the world. So many myths and legends actually existed. It's 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, they would look terrible. 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, dissatisfied. He glared at Chiba Cheng and said his lines in front of him. What did he mean? 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, it’s him.”
“Huh?” Maya For a moment, he subconsciously turned to look at the noodle stall owner with a kind smile on his face. The lid of the noodle pot between them suddenly moved, and then took off on the spot. A group of black things rushed out from inside and continued outward. He shouted loudly: "Come and play with Obik."
But as early as when the pot made a noise, Chiba Cheng had already 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." Chiba Cheng saw the black thing reentering the pot, then he put down his hand and said, "I was really scared at first. Jump, you little coward, don’t be frightened. By the way, he’s obviously a cosmic person. , why are you afraid of ghosts?”
Maya said angrily: “Can’t people in the universe be afraid of ghosts?”
After saying that, I thought that Chiba Cheng said that this boss is Obik was immediately frightened and approached Chiba Cheng, who was already very close. He leaned close to me 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 brave you are, Even grown-up people will have drumming in their hearts when walking on this road. "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 have 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 was only seen in museums, shocked Maya and gave her a creepy feeling. She almost felt like she was attached to Chiba Makoto, and said: "You know?"
"Well! He is indeed not a human, but an old monster who has lived for a long time. "
"It is very impolite to call an old man that way."
Chiba Cheng retorted, not to be outdone: "Then you act like a respectable old man. Setting up a stall here all day long is scary and boring.”
"I just," Obik said in a low tone, "I don't know what to do anymore. All the familiar things are gone, and all traces of existence have disappeared. What is the meaning of existence?"
< br>"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 have to endure the boss’s unreasonableness and Party A’s difficulties. It can also be said that you want to live a good life for your family. After a busy day, , dragging your tired body back, you can still enjoy the warmth of family.
But Obik has no family for a long time. He has lived alone in this world for a long, long time, until he himself became numb. Now even the last familiar things are disappearing.
Obik sighed and said: "I really don't know where to go? If I leave here and live just to live, there is really no meaning anymore. Why bother?"
Maya sat there, looking at Chiba Makoto, and then taking 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 ordinary your career is, the more you like to discuss high-level things, such as national affairs and life philosophy.
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 pack up his seemingly endless things. It was not until Chiba Makoto got on his motorcycle and disappeared around the corner that 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 Obi Ke, he has lived here for a long time, and now he wants to make a scene and die."
"Huh?" Maya was shocked by this divine turn. She had never seen this before. Not only setting up a stall to sell soba noodles in a secluded place, but also making a big fuss and then dying. Are ghosts and ghosts so unique these days? You wouldn’t dare to shoot a horror movie like this, right?
