It's none of my business. I'm just a lunch box seller.

Then, Ajian's 2000gt had a flat tire because Zhengnan deliberately slowed down the car.

"Tsk, it's so vulnerable."

Just after finishing the final kill on Ken, Masao turned back into a coward. He yelled that he wanted to give the steering wheel to Shin-chan. Shin-chan also handed the steering wheel to Shiro soon after he got the upper hand because he was bored!

That’s right, Shin-chan handed over the control of the vehicle to his dog!

Whether Xiaobai is a god or not is not the point for now, but Xiaoxin is really a dog!

The kindergarten stroller, driven by Xiao Bai, rushed all the way and finally arrived at the gate of the 20th Century Expo! In order to prevent the strollers from rushing into the venue, the Expo venue actually began to close the outermost gate of the venue.

Seeing this, Xiao Xiangcheng stepped on the accelerator of the car to the bottom. The car also rushed into the venue through the gate with shouts of "Kasukabe Defense Force, Fire"!

Then, the stroller crashed headfirst into a large rock in front of the main exhibition hall. If Xiao Xiangcheng hadn't used a wind escape move in time to protect all the evacuated people and Xiao Bai, I'm afraid they would have been thrown out of the front windshield of the car because of the collision with the rock.

At this time, those who were catching children and those who were out looking for babies were already trapped outside the gate. And the gates of the closed venue would not be opened again for a while. After all, the white uniformed people in charge of opening and closing the gates were all subdued by Xiao Xiangcheng.

But Xiao Xiangcheng was very smart. She didn't destroy the gate controller after subduing the guys guarding the gate. The little girl thought clearly that if the gate was damaged by her, after everyone rescued their parents, they would be trapped here and unable to get out!

As for Ajian and his men who had already rushed back to the gate of the expo, they could only get a hex wrench and rely on manpower to open the gate little by little from outside the gate.

But they had just twisted a few times when everyone heard the roar of a helicopter coming from behind. They looked back and found a Black Hawk helicopter slowly landing less than 50 meters behind them. And when Ah Jian saw the "strong man who beat my big ass" reported by his subordinates jump out of the helicopter's cockpit, he felt his scalp tingling.

However, Boss Cheng, Rogers and Master Dongfang had no intention of making things difficult for Ajian and the others. Boss Cheng even took the initiative to come up and greet Ajian.

"Why, you were locked out?"

Ajian looked up at the guy who was nearly 20 centimeters taller than him, and then nodded honestly.

"Those little brats are the ones you mentioned on the phone, right?"

"Yes, it was them." Boss Cheng smiled and teased Ajian, "I saw it when I was hovering in the air. Your car was hit several times by their minibus. Why don't you practice your driving skills after this is over?"

"Oh? You mean I'm going to lose?"

"No, I never thought you could win."

"Is there a difference?"

Boss Cheng smiled and asked Ah Jian: "Do you think there is none?"

"Are you going to help them?" Ajian asked, frowning.

But Boss Cheng shrugged and told Ken: "My attitude remains unchanged. This is a competition between you and the children of Kasukabe. As an outsider, I will neither participate nor be your referee. I will only be a firefighter to prevent any accidents that may threaten your lives during the competition."

"Haha, you're such a weird person. You have the ability to stop my actions directly, but you leave this matter to a group of kindergarten kids."

"Because this match doesn't belong to me. You're not good enough to force me to join." After saying that, Boss Cheng emphasized, "At least I won't intervene before you kill someone."

"So it seems that sending people to search for the baby actually saved my own life."

"Ha, you know it yourself."

"Thank you."

Ajian nodded, then ordered his men to open the door faster.

Boss Cheng led Xiao Xiangcheng's senior brother and master back to the Black Hawk helicopter to continue resting.

While drinking soda to replenish his salt, Master Dongfang asked Boss Cheng in confusion: "Why do I feel like these guys are playing house?"

The captain also asked: "I don't understand either. Why does that guy with glasses make adults' minds regress to the level of children?"

Boss Cheng shrugged and said he didn't understand it either.

"But the 'returning last' you just mentioned is quite standard in usage."

(Huishan, a northern dialect, originally referred to a process in shoemaking, but later evolved into the meaning of getting worse and worse, becoming less and less than before.)

Boss Cheng did not evade the question, because he did not understand why the leader of "Yesterday Ones More" would do such a wicked thing. Even in his rich experience, he had never met such a person who wanted to go back to his old age.

"I can understand the feeling of missing the past. But this person's behavior..." Master Dongfang pondered for a moment and spoke again: "This guy reminds me of myself who once went astray. I always wanted to eliminate humans and restore nature. But in the end, I suddenly realized that humans are also part of nature."

"Yes! Just like us." The captain also sighed with the master: "We are experiencing the past every moment and missing the past. But our present is itself a part of the future."

"In fact, the 'present' is the past of the 'future'. It's just that the man named Jian only cares about the past of the present, and forgets that people will eventually belong to the future and die in the future."

"Haha, forget it!" Dongfang Master waved his hand. "Instead of sitting here and discussing such abstruse and boring topics, why not fly into the stadium and see how far those little guys' adventure competition has progressed?"

To what extent?

Fortunately, the children of the Kasukabe Defense Corps successfully found their parents. But just like the problem encountered by other children, although their parents still knew them, their parents were no longer their parents.

You can't expect an adult with the mental level of a 20- or 8-year-old to fulfill the responsibilities and obligations that a parent should fulfill. However, none of the adults at the th Century Expo had a mental level higher than that of an -year-old. The intelligence level they showed now was not even as good as that of a well-trained border collie!

As for the very few “big kids”…

Shin-chan, who had been running around with Xiao Xiangcheng, broke into a strange little square and met many strange adults. These people seemed to be trapped in a certain memory of themselves and could not extricate themselves. For example...

"No, no! I want to see the Moon Stone!"

"Xiao Zhi, can you understand something? Waiting in line for more than three hours just to take a look at the rock specimens brought back from the moon is totally not worth wasting time! Why don't we go somewhere else? Wouldn't it be better to go to a place with many beautiful women? How about this? What do you think?"

"Ahem! Dad, don't you think it's inappropriate to say these things to a child?"

"But I just want to see the Moonstone, which was brought down from the Moon by Apollo (11)."

When Shin-chan saw the "big boy" crying because he wanted to see the moon rock, he walked up to him, took his hand and said, "Dad, I'm here to take you home."

But Guangzhi, who has become a big boy, asked Xiaoxin: "Who are you talking to? Who are you?"

Shin-chan continued to try to wake Hiroshi, emphasizing, "It's me, Dad! I'm Shinnosuke!"

But Guangzhi shouted into the void: "Dad, there is a strange child here!"

"What's so weird about that? I'm your son Shinnosuke, dad, stop saying weird things!"

However, Guangzhi's parents in the void did not intend to pay any more attention to their unreasonable son, and turned to walk towards other venues of the "Osaka World Expo".

Guangzhi immediately set out to chase his parents back, but Xiaoxin hugged Guangzhi's calf, not wanting him to chase the non-existent illusion.

"Hey, Shinnosuke!" Xiao Xiangcheng, who still couldn't understand, asked, "Do you need me to knock your dad out for you?"

"No! Nohara Shinnosuke's father wants Nohara Shinnosuke to save himself!"

suddenly!

Shin-chan suddenly tripped Hiroshi Nohara, took off Hiroshi's shoes, and stuffed them directly in front of Hiroshi's nose!

0172 The Real Game

Hey, Shinnosuke!" Xiao Xiangcheng, who still couldn't understand, asked: "Do you need me to knock your dad out for you?"

"No! Nohara Shinnosuke's father wants Nohara Shinnosuke to save himself!"

But Guangzhi still chased after the shadows of his parents who only existed in his memory, crying, "Mom and Dad, where are you going? Don't leave me alone!"

Shin-chan, who continued to hold Hiroshi's calf, also shouted, "But you are the father!"

But immersed in painful memories, Guangzhi kicked Xiaoxin away and yelled, "Let me go, I'm not your father!"

suddenly!

Xiao Xin remembered that when Jian came to catch them in the morning, he accidentally revealed the information that "your parents have been addicted to the breath of the past and turned into children." Xiao Xin suddenly had an idea that since his parents could be lost because of the breath of the "past", they must be able to return to normal through the breath of the "present".

So Shin-chan decided to go all out and tripped Hiroshi Nohara. After taking off Hiroshi's shoes, he stuffed them directly into Hiroshi's nose!

"Dad is Dad, you will never forget this taste!"

Guangzhi, who was about to faint from the stench, also recalled at this moment...

It was a hot afternoon. Xiao Guangzhi, who was drowsy sitting on the back seat of a bicycle, slowly opened his eyes due to the bumps. His father, who was riding a bicycle and carrying a fishing rod, turned around and promised Xiao Guangzhi that he would not return empty-handed tomorrow. Xiao Guangzhi nodded and agreed with his father to come early tomorrow.

Time flies, Xiao Guangzhi has put on the high school uniform, and walked on the path in the field with a girl with a ponytail and a red face. The two walked silently along the way, looking at each other without saying a word. Although they both had a lot to say to each other, they were too shy to speak.

It's a pity that the ignorance of young people is doomed to be short-lived. When the early winter snow slowly fell, the girl who had followed Guangzhi with a red face had disappeared. Perhaps nothing had ever developed between the two of them, and it had never ended because of anything.

In that era when everything was thriving, perhaps just because the girl's parents had a job transfer, a first love that started with budding and ended in ignorance ended so hastily in such a silent sigh.

After graduating from high school, the young Hiroshi said goodbye to his hometown where he had lived for 17 years. He packed his bags, full of enthusiasm and hope, and resolutely came to Tokyo to work hard on his own. It was a pity that such a big city as Tokyo did not give a boy from Akita with only a high school education any opportunity to show himself.

Hiroshi realized his shortcomings and had to go to junior college to enrich himself while working odd jobs to make a living. Finally, his hard work paid off. When he was 20 years old, he was spotted by Kasukabe Futaba Trading Company from the Tokyo metropolitan area.

Young people's careers always start with mistakes and setbacks. The same was true for 20-year-old Nohara Hiroshi, who made mistakes, ran into setbacks, and was teased by his seniors. However, it may be due to his talent or diligence, but Hiroshi's work performance is flourishing. When he was 27 years old, he was finally promoted from an ordinary employee to a section chief (department head).

In the same year, Hiroshi accidentally met an office worker named Koyama Miya, and they soon established a romantic relationship.

Two years later, when Hiroshi was 29 years old and felt that he was capable of taking on the burden of a family, he finally plucked up the courage to propose to Misae on the platform of the station. Although Koyama Misae's father was not optimistic about his future son-in-law, he finally agreed to marry his second daughter to Hiroshi.

Then, one evening when Nohara Hiroshi was 30 years old, a round-headed little guy was held in the arms of Hiroshi who had just rushed to the hospital after get off work. This was a strong little guy who only cared about sleeping and was too lazy to even cry.

"Why not just call him Nohara Shinnosuke (Shinnosuke)!"

In order to live a better and more stable life in the future, Guangzhi finally saved enough for the down payment of a single-family house when Xiaoxin was 3 years old. Since then, Guangzhi, Meiya and Xiaoxin have lived happily in this home that needs to pay off the loan for 35 years.

When Shin-chan was 5 years old, the Nohara family welcomed a new member. Shortly after Aoi was born, Hiroshi was promoted from section chief to division chief. As a result, Hiroshi was exhausted by the company's affairs every day. But no matter how hard he worked, whenever he returned home and saw the two naughty but cute children, the fatigue of the day would always disappear without a trace.

But Shin-chan and Aoi are always knocked unconscious by Guangzhi's stinky feet.

The son who used to sit on the back of a bicycle and could only see his father's back has now grown into a father who rides a bicycle and carries a fishing rod, but still cannot catch a single fish.

Behind him was not only Xiaoxin, but also his wife who was also riding a bicycle, Xiaokui who was sitting in a baby basket, and a white mixed-race dog named "Xiaobai".

This is Nohara Hiroshi's family, his past, his present, and his future. This is not only his life, but also his life and his sustenance.

"Dad, do you remember everything?"

Recalling everything, Hiroshi suddenly hugged Shin-chan in his arms and burst into tears, feeling both moved and guilty.

"Uh-huh!"

Shortly after……

With the same "breath of life" trick, Meiya also successfully freed herself from the Mahou Soju mode. But Meiya was also successfully vomited by Guangzhi's smelly shoes and smelly socks.

"Eh? Is it really that ugly?" Guangzhi asked in surprise after putting on his shoes and socks.

"What else?" Meiya asked back after retching for a long time.

However, when the Nohara family was about to leave, Ajian and his gang, who had successfully opened the gate not long ago, had already arrived at the Nohara family's place.

"Clap clap clap!"

Ah Jian clapped his hands and praised sincerely, "Things are really getting more and more interesting. No wonder that person is willing to give you the important task of deciding the outcome."

"It's you, idiot!" Nohara Hiroshi pointed at Ken and yelled, "Stop wasting time, let everyone out now."

However, Ken continued to calmly ask the Nohara family and Xiao Xiangcheng to go with him. After the family confirmed their eyes, they followed Ken to a small street called "Sunset Town" hidden in the 20th Century Expo.

There is no noisy traffic or tall buildings here. Everything here maintains the appearance of the most ordinary Japanese residential areas during the 60s and 70s.

“The sunset easily reminds people of the past. So it always feels like sunset here.”

Even Misae and Hiroshi had to admit that coming here was like traveling back in time.

But Guangzhi pointed out bluntly: "This place is just like a movie. No matter how real it is, it is a deliberately created illusion."

"The residents here and I don't think so." Ken said with his back to the Nohara family, "For us, this is reality. The outside world is full of hypocrisy and no longer has the true breath of life."

"breath?"

"Yes, the smell. It's the smell of the past era, and it's the smell I like."

"You guy!" Guangzhi, who guessed what Ajian was planning, said in surprise.

At this time, Jian suddenly turned around and asked Guangzhi and his wife: "Aren't you also captured by the atmosphere of this era now? You will soon be like the residents here, deeply in love with everything here, and live in the unchanged past. Only here can people feel the real atmosphere."

"cut!"

Little Orange, squatting on top of the electric pole, smiled disdainfully.

It was because of Xiao Xiangcheng's smile that the couple realized that no matter how wonderful life here was described by Ajian, it was still fake! Guangzhi immediately took off his shoes and he and his wife sucked one each. It was not until they both retched that they felt they had gotten rid of the feeling of being brainwashed.

Ah Jian looked at Xiao Xiangcheng on the top of the pole and asked her with a smile if she wanted to go to his house with him. Xiao Xiangcheng jumped from the pole and returned to the ground.

Xiao Xiangcheng pointed to an old building that was about the same size as the hotel and asked, "Is this your home?"

“A little dated, isn’t it?”

But Xiao Xiangcheng, who has experienced a life of displacement, said: "What does it matter whether it is old or not? Isn't it good enough as long as I feel comfortable?"

"Yes!" Ah Jian couldn't help but sigh: "A life that makes you feel comfortable is a good life."
