Chapter 977 Abandoned Dream
Chiba What?
Da Gu grinned in pain, but his ears stood up as hard as he could, trying to hear clearly what was behind him, but what came into his ears was the roar of people, the roar of the engines of passing cars, and... There was a long whistle coming from the distant sea, all of which were the sounds of the city that we had long been accustomed to.
What Dagu wanted to hear at the moment was the voices of those two people. Regardless of the pain in his body, he hurriedly got up. What he saw were high-rise buildings, cars and pedestrians, but not the long-dead director Eiji. He didn't become Ultraman, and he didn't have that black mist that made him feel extremely uncomfortable.
It seems that the immersive movie viewing that lasted less than five seconds just saw was just an illusion, but Dagu could clearly feel the discomfort of his eyes after seeing strong light. If the illusion could be so real , movies, games, VR and AR will all be shut down immediately. It is enough for everyone to fantasize about it, and there is no need for other entertainment methods.
People came and went around, and Dagu fell to the ground. Many people cast their eyes on him, took a curious look, and then left in a hurry. In this fast-paced society, unless it is a tearing of the three, there is no way. There will be too many people interested in taking a closer look.
In the past, being surrounded by people because of his embarrassment, and attracting attention for making a fool of himself, it was absolutely social death for Dagu. Even if no one knew him, he would feel embarrassed, and he could not wait to find a crack to get in.
But now, Dagu didn't care about the eyes of the people around him. He just lay there and twisted his neck, looking for the two people, but found nothing.
Then he thought of something and hurriedly got up and turned to look behind him. The other 'self' in the 'phantom' seemed to be looking at the sky just now. Dagu wanted to know what he was looking at.
The sky was full of sunset, and a red sun was slowly setting towards the city, stretching the shadows of tall buildings into long shadows, shrouding the streets, cars, and people in shadow.
"Ultra Star." Dagu repeated in a low voice. This was the clearest and most understandable name he had ever heard. It was the hometown of the Ultramen he had loved watching since he was a child, and he still remembers it until now. What Ultraman Seven said to Anu at the end: If you see stars in the western sky, it’s me watching you from the distant planet.
"He's looking at the Ultra Star?!" Dagu thought uncertainly, trying to recall everything just now, and suddenly thought that before hearing the voices of the two people, he seemed to see stars. , a star shining in the sunset sky, made him unable to help but compare it with the night sky when he was a child.
Could it be
"That's the Ultra Star?" This idea that he found incredible appeared in Dagu's mind, so much so that when he first thought of this idea, he subconsciously Denial: "How is this possible? The Kingdom of Light is only on TV, the real world How could there be Ultraman?"
"Yes, Ultraman does not exist at all, they are just people on TV." Dagu smiled bitterly, shook his head, and bent down. I picked up the documents scattered on the ground, sorted them, put them back into my bag, and prepared to leave this place.
But before leaving, I couldn't help but look behind me. It was still empty there. There was no revered Director Eiji, nor himself transformed into Ultraman in the light. He turned around and glanced up at the sky. There is no Ultra Star there either.
There is nothing, and those touching stories of Ultra heroes are all fake. Just like when I was a child, after watching Ultraman and imagining myself becoming Ultraman, I still had to do my homework. But now, I have lost even the ability to imagine, and am only left with the homework assigned by my life. Dagu's mood suddenly dropped. The good mood he used to have after get off work was gone. Even his steps became extra heavy. He didn't know why he was walking, but he just walked forward along the coastal road.
Behind Dagu, in the corner of the high-rise building, there was a group of shadows that were denser than other areas. They rotated synchronously with Dagu's progress, as if they were moving. Staring at Da Gu, and seeing Da Gu walking forward in a depressed mood, instead of standing there and thinking about things like 'Ultra Star, myself becoming Ultraman', a voice came out from the shadows. 'Jie! Jie! ’ The laughter sounded very proud, and there was a feeling of satisfaction that a great revenge had been avenged.
It’s just that the city is too noisy. The roaring engines and the roar of people make this laughter seem particularly weak. Before it leaves the shadow, it is already covered by the noise, and even the people passing by cannot hear it. Arrive, let alone Dagu who has gone far.
The wind blowing from the land to the sea, carrying the city's unique smell of exhaust gas and waste, floats on the sea and fills the world, as if the world has become turbid.
While Dagu was walking like this, he unknowingly arrived at a tourist pier made of wooden planks. Dagu couldn't help but stop and looked around blankly: "Here is"
Although several years have passed, he has never forgotten this place. , but he has never been here again, let alone mentioned it, just because here, he had a falling out with his childhood sweetheart and childhood sweetheart Lina. Although he did not break up, he still maintained the appearance of a man and a woman in front of other people. They look like friends, but in reality only they know that there is a thorn between them.
To this day, Da Gu still remembers saying with a happy smile and pretending to be relaxed: "I have decided not to leave, but to stay in this city and stay with Lina. , will always be with Lina." After saying these words, Lina was not as happy as she imagined. Instead, she showed a surprised expression, which then turned into disappointment. She shook her head and turned to leave.
At that time, he didn't understand why he didn't leave the city and could be by her side all the time. Not only was Lina unhappy, she even turned around and left angrily, refusing to say a word to him.
At that time, Dagu was confused, but also felt aggrieved and angry. He felt that it was too much for him to pay so much but not be understood.
The two had a cold war for a long time because of this. Even if they got back together later, they never mentioned it again. Even if they knew that the other party remembered it and cared about it, they never mentioned it again.
"Why are you here?" Dagu couldn't help clenching his fists. His first reaction was to leave, but his legs were like lead. He refused to obey his orders and could not leave. In the dark, there is a voice saying, 'This is escape and cannot solve the problem'.
"Escape? Yes, I have been escaping. I thought that being an ostrich and burying my head in the sand meant that nothing had happened." Dagu murmured to himself, but in his heart I hate myself so much, why have I only figured this out now?
