Chapter 61 61: January at the Sea
When they parted ways to say goodbye, Xiaoshuhe recommended a few places to Ito that were still considered tourist attractions in Futaba Town, and said that if you have time, you can find him. And left his address.
Ito didn’t exactly agree, but he did not think about where to go after seeing the sea.
Continue wandering? Carry out the orders of the hypocrite? Still.
Thinking of her, Ito looked gloomy.
Putting on the mask and hat, he continued towards the seaside. On the way, he passed the center of Futaba Town, which was only two or three kilometers away from the seaside.
Just the closer he got to the uninhabited area, the more uncomfortable he felt, as if something was rubbing his skin very slightly.
He suspected radiation, but couldn't be sure.
The east side of Futaba County is full of coastline, some distance away from the road. He came to the seaside. It is sparsely populated and not a tourist attraction - although even if it is a tourist resort, no one will come here to enjoy the radiation sea bath. .
After all, this is not far from the nuclear power plant.
Just find a deserted place, ignore the instructions not to cross, and walk from the coast to the reef.
It was evening and the tide had begun to rise. It was estimated that the tide would be high at seven or eight o'clock.
Ito just stood on the reef, watching the waves crashing over and the salty sea breeze blowing, trying his best to grasp the fragments of memories.
I was so high-spirited at that time.
Excellent grades, about to have an internship, already negotiated with a company, a gentle and beautiful girlfriend by my side, and a happy family, just like a rising sun, who knows, the sun will be backfired by the flames .
At that time, I looked at the sea and thought, I want to cross and pursue. As for what I am pursuing? I don’t know, and I don’t care too much. It’s just a desire to conquer.
Looking at the sea now, I just feel that the vastness of the sea accommodated his narrow-mindedness and ignorance at the time, and set off how small he was.
Only at this time did he feel that he was not a monster, but also an insignificant piece of dust on this planet. Perhaps the difference was that his dust was flammable?
He looked to the south, where the nuclear power plant was located. Of course, he couldn't see it from here. All he could see was the long coastline and waves.
A rope called escaping reality held him, making him not want to leave here.
And time will not slow down the future just because he stays in the past. Ito Chenggang lived at the beach for a full month, and he even felt that he could stay like this for the rest of his life.
Looking at the sea every day, in a daze, it is also very comfortable.
When I was hungry, I went to a nearby house to borrow something to eat. If I borrowed too much, I was embarrassed, so I went to the nearby forest to roast game.
This is how he came to recuperate in that dilapidated temple. It has to be said that the fire ability is so convenient, and the ice ability may have to be eaten raw.
Sometimes for convenience, the arm can be used as a barbecue grill, put the meat on top, add some borrowed seasonings, and it will be cooked in a short time.
Perhaps such a simple life allowed him to avoid the troubles of life and forget the sad past. After a month, his mood became much calmer.
His so-called social mentality of revenge has actually diminished a lot after his parents were insulted and became violent.
Now, he wants to be a hermit, a person who will never do anything he regrets for the rest of his life.
But some things cannot be escaped. He found that in fact, there was always one regret in his heart that had not yet been resolved.
That is the ex-girlfriend whom I ignored at first because I only wanted to be a hero. He didn't expect any reconciliation, he just wanted to apologize to her.
So he left from the seaside and came to the center of Futaba Town.
It is said to be a center, but in fact the population of this place is quite sparse now, and most of them are elderly people.
He had no intention of staying and came here just to catch a ride back to Tokyo, even though he still remembered the home address the old man gave him.
It was just that when he passed the hospital, he accidentally saw Xiao Songhe's wife. At this time, she had something wrapped around her neck, as if she had been injured or had some surgery, and her face was sad.
Ito was a little curious and followed him without hesitation. He was just doing whatever he wanted now.
All the way to the inpatient department of the local hospital, Ito saw the young Songhe who had suddenly lost weight. If he hadn't been following Chiyo, he wouldn't have recognized this cheerful old man who had dinner with him.
Chiyo brought him some home-cooked food, and Komatsu asked her not to be so tired, as it would not be conducive to recovery after surgery.
After listening for a while, Ito learned that Chiyo had thyroid cancer, but it was discovered early and had been surgically removed.
Komatsu, on the other hand, has liver cancer, but was found to be in an advanced stage, and now he can barely maintain his life.
Ito was silent. He didn't know whether the cancer of the two of them had anything to do with the detection of nuclear radiation, but if you think about it with human nature, you should think that it was because of this.
After Chiyo left briefly, Ito released [Hide] at the door, knocked on the door and walked in.
"Huh? It's you"
Omatsu also recognized Ito and seemed very surprised by his arrival.
“I saw Grandma Chiyo on the road and followed her here. I didn’t expect it,” Ito said.
Komatsu pursed his lips and wanted to take a sip of water, but Ito handed him the cup next to him.
"Thank you, thank you." Xiaosong raised his head and took a sip, glanced at his sleeping roommate in the same ward, and lowered his voice, "Don't you know that the whole world is looking for you?"< br>
Ito really doesn’t know. He has been at the beach this month, far away from people. He has given up even the previous necessities such as mobile phone network. He is a complete hermit.
So he didn’t have much contact with the news or other information at all, and he had no idea that a big, round black pot was covering his head.
"You and a person called the Forger are both wanted. I heard that they are still wanted internationally. Go quickly. There are cameras everywhere now. I'm afraid you won't be able to make it in time." Xiaosong whispered.
"Then what do you do?" Ito asked.
Seeing that Ito was not nervous, Komatsu smacked his lips and relaxed a little: "What else can I do? Who can make things difficult for a dying old man? I should say it or not. Now I can't even understand your super power." If I have descendants, I will report you directly and use the bonus to give my children happiness. That amount, tsk tsk, can bury me in cash."
Ito smiled at Komatsu's blunt statement. , and then showed a slightly complicated expression: "Do you regret it?"
This is what the hypocrite asked him at the beginning, and it is also the reason why everything is incredible.
The difference is that he does not have the means to give others power, but he still wants to hear other people's answers.
