Chapter 923 Obik leaving his hometown
"This is also the reason why I am willing to come. Although they have their own calculations, in general, they are still for the future of mankind." Chiba Cheng felt This year's TPC senior executives are very humane compared to many Earth Defense Force senior executives in their memories and even the TPC in the New Domain Era.
Not to mention Director Sawai, even Director Yoshigo, who strongly advocates force, has his own bottom line and persistence. He promoted the formation and establishment of TPC and made great contributions. A representative of the army became the first chief executive of the TPC.
Maya thought about the conversation in the director's room and nodded in agreement. What they discussed most was how to deal with the darkness that was about to awaken and the secondary disasters it would bring.
Director Sawai and the others talked about TPC’s recent work plan. The flight training school they are preparing will soon welcome a new batch of students. Excellent technicians will be selected from them and a professional special team will be formed to share the increasingly heavy workload of the victory team. work; convene more scientists to study the light particle conversion device discovered by Masaki, so as to achieve the goal of charging Tiga as soon as possible. The rest is to develop stronger weapons, distribute stronger equipment, and carry out more advanced research on a daily basis. Research and more.
In general, although there are many crises, life must continue. Human society cannot lose its order before darkness comes. Wouldn't it be self-destruction?
Of course, as this was the first formal meeting, the two parties also had a tacit understanding and did not discuss the issue of Masaki Keigo and the underground giant stone statue of Kumamoto. It is not one person who pursues the power of Ultraman. Not even Director Sawai can stop it.
"I didn't expect him to know my parents." Chiba Makoto was really surprised, and finally understood why as soon as he decided to move out of the orphanage, someone helped clean and repair the house, and equipped it with A full set of tables, chairs, home appliances and other daily necessities.
Even if he did not obtain Tiga's power, he could still live a comfortable life with the money that was transferred to the card on time each month and the two-story building not far from the big city. A life that is not rich but will never be poor.
Maya closed the box in her hand, held it tightly in her hand, glanced at Chiba Makoto, and said: "Yes, they can still persist in research when no one understands it. It's really remarkable. It’s great.”
"It's not that no one understands and believes it, but" Chiba Cheng turned the steering wheel, controlled the car to turn around, drove away from the viaduct, and came to the ground. Looking at the road ahead that looked empty due to the thick night, he said: "It's very The discovery may not have been made public.”< br>
Although there is no evidence, Chiba Cheng feels that the Chiba couple must have discovered something back then. Otherwise, why they suddenly gave up their long-standing research and turned to the Asian United Air Force Base? It should not be the case You're short of money, why don't you go make some extra money?
Chiba Makoto was just thinking wildly when he caught a glimpse of a vehicle-mounted vendor on the branch road passing by, telling him to step on the brakes immediately.
Squeak.
The tires rubbed against the ground, pulling out long black marks. The two people in the car suddenly leaned forward. The box in Maya's hand almost flew out. She hurriedly asked Said: "What's wrong? Why did you brake suddenly?"
Chiba Makoto quickly turned the steering wheel, turned back, and said: "I seem to have seen a soba noodle stall."
"Buckwheat noodle stall?" Maya was stunned, and thought for several seconds in confusion before finally turning from After the Kohaku Song Festival, Chiba Makoto rode a motorcycle and took her to Hikono Street to taste the New Year's soba noodles in her memory.
"You mean Obik?" Maya was just typing when the car stopped again, this time at the intersection, and following Chiba Cheng's line of sight, on the dark single lane, A single lamp was on, reflecting a small noodle stall and the steam rising from the pot.
Behind the noodle stall late at night, Obik, wearing a chef's uniform and chef's hat, was concentrating on kneading dough. Even though there was no customer in front of the stall and no one was seen on the empty road, he still Kneading the dough very seriously, when I heard footsteps approaching, I immediately turned around and looked up. A thick smile appeared on my expressionless face just now, and I shouted enthusiastically. He said: "Guests lingering in the middle of the night, would you like a steaming bowl?"
Before he finished speaking, he saw who it was, and his face suddenly fell, and he turned around He stood up and continued to knead the dough. His words lost the enthusiasm just now and said, "It's you. Long time no see." "Long time no see. Here are two bowls of soba noodles."
"Okay, please wait." Obik kneaded and pulled the noodles skillfully, then went into the pot and stirred with long chopsticks. During this period, he also mixed the soup of the two bowls of noodles. good.
Chiba Makoto looked at Obik and his noodle stall. Compared with a year ago, there was no change. Compared with the ever-changing world, the passing time seemed to have paused. This noodle stall remains in the past.
Compared with the fear and curiosity when they first met, Maya now only has curiosity. She looked at the busy Obik and asked: "Are you just setting up a stall late at night like this? ?”
“Yes, because it’s only quiet late at night. , you can hear the crickets chirping by the river, the frogs singing in the lotus root pond, and occasionally a few dogs barking. When you look up, you can see the stars in the sky. When you look down, you can see the cold moonlight all over the ground, and across the street. The sound of someone walking down the street must be the night watchman."
Obik spoke in a gentle tone, which made Maya more and more confused. Listening carefully, there was only the dull roar and sharp whistle of the car engine that occasionally passed by, but there were no frogs, insects, or dogs barking.
Looking up at the sky, there are only a few stars. Even in the middle of the night, the lights of the city can still illuminate the night sky, covering up the stars that are not bright enough. From the moment people use electricity to light up the city, living in The people inside have lost the true sense of night, and have long forgotten that the darkness that cannot be seen is what the night is really like.
"Here it comes, please use it slowly." A strong aroma came from the tip of her nose. Maya lowered her head and saw a large bowl of steaming soba noodles appearing on the table in front of her.
"I'm starting."
Pick up the chopsticks, pick up the noodles and stuff them into your mouth. The gluten is delicious, the soup is delicious, and it's still delicious.
Obik sat behind the stall and looked at the two people enjoying their meal with a smile. The customers' devouring food was the best compliment to the chef.
As soon as Chiba Cheng finished finishing a bowl of noodles and put down his chopsticks, he heard Obik say in a sad tone: "I'm leaving."
Chiba Cheng was startled. Maya, who was busy eating noodles, also raised her head.
And Obik continued to say: "The last mountain in Hikono will be developed into an amusement park. I have nowhere to go. It's time to leave here."
