"Well, the celestial beings have an aura similar to that of monsters. Although I am not talented, I have killed some evil celestial beings before."
"I think he was holding a musket. His name was... Dada? Or Bud? I can't remember."
"No matter what, a fellow who can't even withstand a trace of my sword energy doesn't deserve to be remembered by me."
"..."
Damn it, he pretended it again!
Back to the present, Lin Bei received a mission to investigate Obik in plain clothes, so he deliberately released the aura of Leonix.
Anyway, it seems that this uncle who is suspected to be Obik thinks of himself as a monster.
"Uncle, give me a bowl of soba noodles."
"Okay, okay~" Seeing that it was rare for someone of the same kind to come and patronize him, Obik was in a good mood. He served Lin Bei a big bowl of buckwheat noodles, and topped it with barbecued pork, fish maw, and soft-boiled eggs.
“It’s so rich!”
"Hey, young people, eat more..."
Lin Bei slipped away on the spot, and then a small white head popped out from under the table, which scared Obik, the monster.
"Wow wow wow wow——"
When Obik saw the white-haired loli in front of him, he felt that she was even more terrifying than the devil Kijuro who caused cholera in the world back then. She was a hundred thousand times more terrifying!
"Uncle, I want a bowl too." Ayin wiped his saliva and looked at Obike with his big watery eyes.
Obik wiped the sweat off his face with a towel, then took out a small basin from somewhere and filled it up for Yin.
"Uncle, do we have it?" Heige and Ailei slowly appeared from the shadows beside them.
"Hmph, hum——" Even though Obik had seen many storms and waves, he almost fainted. But after all, he was a monster who had lived for hundreds of years and experienced many storms and waves. If he really fainted, his career as a monster would be over.
"Yes, yes, yes..." Obik took out two small basins from somewhere and filled them for Heige and Ailei.
The four of them happily had a midnight snack at public expense.
Obike wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and felt that he was indeed out of touch with the times.
"If there were guys as strong as you back then, the so-called devil Kijuro would be nothing but a small goldfish..." Obik couldn't help but sigh.
"Who is the devil Kijuro?" Lin Bei wondered, smelling the scent of melon.
"Didn't your parents tell you?" Obike felt more and more that something was wrong, but he still told the story of that year.
"Bring it up quickly!" the four of them were impatient.
"That story begins a long, long time ago..."
Obik told the story for an hour. It started with a horror story, then a historical story, then a fantasy story, and finally it turned into a story about a dragon in a well…
"Hiss...that guy Jingtian Jinglong...why is he everywhere..." Lin Bei couldn't help but complain.
How many monsters and demons has Jingtian Jinglong fought? ? ?
"Have you seen the Jingtian Jinglong?" Obik's tiger body trembled.
"Yes, I have met you. I greeted you not long ago." Lin Bei explained what happened in Su Na Mountain before.
"Sukina-gui...it turns out that big shot is still alive in this world..." A look of nostalgia appeared on Obik's face.
"When the demon Kijuro caused chaos in the world, many evil monsters took the opportunity to stir up trouble, and monsters like us who pursue peace were inevitably harmed." Obik seemed to have opened up a conversation and talked about the past with everyone. "Although Jingtian Jinglonghe has always been responsible for killing monsters, he has never hurt kind monsters."
"Is that guy so powerful?" Lin Bei couldn't help but admire Jingtian Jinglong in his heart.
"Of course. For example, Jingtian Jinglong is like the, uh, Giant Mountain Super Power of this era?"
"It's Ultraman..."
"Yes, yes, yes!" Obik clapped his hands excitedly like a child.
"By the way, uncle." Lin Bei slurped a few bowls of noodles before he remembered his mission.
"I heard that you've been causing some trouble in this area recently?"
Hearing this, Obik felt a little melancholy.
"The village is not as peaceful at night as before..."
Obik looked at the scattered street lights around him. If it weren't for his own efforts, the entire village, no, the whole town would be brightly lit by now.
Obik pointed to a filled land in the distance.
"In the past, there was an endless lotus root pond!" In Obik's eyes, it seemed as if that place was still a lotus root pond.
"The village's watchtower is over there!" Obik pointed to an office building.
Seeing Obike's appearance, Lin Bei thought of his grandfather. When he was alive, he often told him with nostalgia that the town used to be full of rivers and lakes. When he was a child, floods often happened. When floods came, he would sit on the table to fish. If the water had not receded, he would sit in a wooden basin and "row a boat".
But by the time of Lin Bei's father's generation, a lot of the land had been filled up due to the construction of roads and houses.
When he was a child, he didn't quite understand why his grandfather had such a nostalgic and melancholy face. Now that he has grown up and his childhood is over, he may understand a little.
“Uncle, do you want everyone to remember Obike and the past?”
"Yeah, so the village will be back, right?" Obik was like an excited child, but there was a hint of...
Sad and crazy.
Volume of Superman Dig: Chapter 56 Chapter The Master's True Nature and His Mouth!
"Obik... so there is such a past?"
After hearing the information that Lin Bei brought back after deleting the matter of the group's publicly funded noodles, everyone couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
Obike is not an evil monster, he is just...
An old man who reminisces about his past village by playing pranks.
"So, do we still need to eliminate Obik?"
The sentimental Lina hesitated, because if it was just to defeat the evil monster, she could attack without hesitation, but Obik was just a mischievous uncle.
"But Obike's mischief has seriously affected the lives of residents..."
Although it's just a prank, not everyone can stand being scared like this...
It is normal to stay at home after dark, but how can modern people go to bed so early? Moreover, some people make money by selling snacks at night stalls. If the whole village dares not go out at night, what will happen to their business?
"And now we can't repay Obike for the village he left behind..." Horii also began to worry.
As the population surge led to an increase in land use, it was inevitable that the creeks and lotus ponds would be filled up.
In pursuit of a better life, more comfortable modern houses will inevitably replace simple huts, and people will inevitably choose more convenient electricity.
This is the trend of the times. It is impossible to go back for someone's memories.
Even if there is a memory theme park or a nostalgic museum, it is only for entertainment and visits by later generations, and at most it allows the elderly to reminisce, but the past life and the people will not come back.
"..."
"I'll go negotiate with Obik again..." Lin Bei carried Dagu out of the command room and drove the Sherlock car to Yanno Village again.
On the way, Lin Bei and Da Gu thought about how to use unconventional means to solve Obik's problem.
"Dagu, do you have the skills to solve Obike's problem?"
"……Maybe not."
He can cremate Obik, but now it seems that Tiga’s power is unable to save Obik to the greatest extent.
"Unless you create a fantasy town belonging to monsters and Obike..." Dagu murmured. When Lin Bei heard it, he leaned forward and suddenly an idea came to him. He braked and stopped the car on the side of the road.
"Gensokyo! Dagu, you are such a genius!" Lin Bei excitedly hugged Dagu and shook him, almost shaking his brains out.
"Ah uh uh uh uh...Abei, have you come up with any ideas?"
Lin Bei took out the fighting instrument and pointed to a grid at the end.
"Oh."
Then Lin Bei pointed at Dagu again.
"Oh!"
Dagu was so wise that he understood Master Lin’s meaning in an instant.
"Hehehe, uncle, we will surely bring you endless surprises~"
Then the two of them shook their heads happily and drove all the way to Hikino Village.
In Yanye Village, as soon as Lin Bei and his friends entered the village, they were stopped by a group of reporters and onlookers.
"Mr. Victory Team member, have you seen Obike?" A female reporter almost stuffed the big, thick, black microphone into Dagu's mouth.
"No, no."
"What about this member of the Victory Team? Have you seen Obik?" The female reporter changed sides and asked Lin Bei.
Lin Bei thought about it again and again, and finally said something.
"I've seen it."
"And Obik is not some evil monster..."
"Nonsense, I saw Obik eat people with my own eyes!" An old man who looked very idle stood up, and veins bulged on Lin Bei's forehead.
"Then may I ask, sir, why are there no reports of missing persons in this area during this period?"
"Ah, this..." After the grandpa finished talking, he blushed, lowered his head and shrank to the side.
"But Obike has drained the life out of people!"
"Yes, the victim has gray hair!"
“The hair on it is all gray!”
"..."
"Okay, okay, can you guys just listen to me?" Lin Bei suppressed his anger and told them what happened last night.
"Obik, he's just an old monster who misses the past..."
"And the victim's hair just turned white due to excessive fright. His life was not taken away or anything. Don't believe in rumors or spread them." Dagu also added.
"Is that so..." Many onlookers also sighed.
They grew up in this village and listened to their grandfathers telling local legends. Their grandfathers listened to their grandfathers' grandfathers' stories, so these stories were passed down.
After hearing what Lin Bei said, many people's memories were brought back.
"I remember now! I heard from my grandfather before that Obike was actually called Master Ayan!"
“I have some impression too!”
"Ohhh! Yes, yes! It seems that there was a raccoon cat spirit here before!?"
"I miss my grandma..."
"Me too"
Everyone began to reminisce, from legends to childhood.
"But, people nowadays can't be the same as before..." Some people noticed the biggest problem.
"Yeah, how can people go to bed at nine o'clock nowadays? Are you an elementary school student?"
"Nowadays, even in the most remote places, there are still bright lights at night..."
Nostalgia is no exception, but life can never go back to the past. Life is getting better day by day, and few people really want to go back to the past. Most of the time, memories of the past will only become a romantic memory with a unique filter, which really makes people go back to the time when nothing was developed...
"..."
Seeing everyone starting to think about the problem instead of blindly following rumors, Lin Bei and his friends quietly drove to the back mountain to visit the raccoon cat abbot.
"Master, are you there?" Lin Bei knocked on the temple door.
"Here." A monk who looked honest and a little funny appeared from the side.
Lin Bei turned his head, the abbot frowned and took a step back.
"Uncle Obike asked me to come."
"Master Ayan..."
