After hearing the voice, Xincheng was stunned for a moment, then looked in the direction where the voice came from.

Soon he discovered that the person coming towards him was not a will-o'-the-wisp, but Shinya Kaburagi.

Although Shinya Kaburagi looked equally scary at this time, his face was pale without a trace of blood, and his whole body was skinny, like a walking skeleton.

But Shinjo was still relieved. After all, unlike Obike, although Kabiraki Shinya's identity was suspected to be a fox god, he was also a kind of god and ghost in Japanese mythology and legends.

But after all, Shinjo has some understanding of Kabaki Shin, unlike him who knows nothing about Obike.

As the saying goes, the unknown is the most terrifying. The reason why ghosts are scary is that they are between reality and falsehood. If ghosts appeared in front of Xincheng like monsters or aliens, Xincheng can guarantee that the fear in his heart will definitely dissipate a lot.

"it's me."

Seeing this, Shinjo nodded, then seemed to have thought of something and looked at Shinya Kaburagi with extreme vigilance.

"Mr. Kaburagi, why are you here so late?"

Shinjo is not stupid. It is really suspicious that Shinya Kaburagi appears here late at night, and on Hikino Street.

Looking at Shinjo who was wary of him, Shinya Kaburagi naturally knew what he was thinking and couldn't help but say to him with a smile.

"I came here to do something."

As Shinya Kaburagi spoke, he raised the battery in his hand and explained to Shinjo with a smile.

"I'm here to replace a battery for an old customer and have a midnight snack at his place. Do you want to join me?"

"what?"

After hearing Shinya Kaburagi's explanation, although Shinjo was still a little wary, he still chose to put away the Victory Hyper Gun.

"Midnight snack? But Mr. Kaburagi, it's so late, there are no vendors on the street."

In response to Shinjo's question, Shinya Kaburagi just smiled.

"If you come with me, you will find out, right?"

After saying that, Shin Kabaki quickly walked towards the new city.

When he walked next to Shinjo, Shinya Kaburagi did not stop, but continued walking forward.

Looking at Shinya Kaburagi's departing back, Shinjo hesitated for a moment, then picked up the communicator and reported to his teammates in a low voice.

"I'm Shinjo. So far I haven't spotted Obike, but I did see Shinya Kabaki. He came here to replace the battery for an old customer and then have a midnight snack at the customer's place. I think Shinya Kabaki is also suspicious, so I plan to follow him and see for myself."

"Kaburaki Shinya actually came here?"

The members of the Victory Team felt that Shinya Kaburagi's sudden appearance on Hikino Street was both unexpected and reasonable.

Sometimes they even thought that Shinya Kaburagi must have an accident monitoring radar installed on his body, because every time something happened Shinya Kaburagi just happened to pass by.

"Kaburaki Shinya actually showed up here, what is his purpose?"

Vice Captain Zong Fang stroked his chin, thinking about this question seriously.

"I have a guess."

At this moment, Horii's voice suddenly rang out in the communicator.

But before Horii could express his guess, Shinjo couldn't help but complain in a low voice.

"You don't have to say it. We already know that you must want to say that Kabiraki Shinya might be Obike."

When Horii heard that Shinjo had predicted his guess, his expression suddenly became a little strange.

He had originally been planning to enthusiastically tell everyone on the Victory Team about the evidence for his speculation, but after being interrupted by Xincheng, he suddenly felt bored.

After complaining, Shinjo ignored Horii, turned around, quickened his pace and caught up with Kaburagi Shinya.

Seeing Shinjo catching up with him, Shinya Kaburagi immediately turned his head and asked Shinjo.

"Mr. Shinjo, how's the game going?"

"I'm sorry, Mr. Kaburagi."

Xincheng scratched his head awkwardly when he heard that.

"I gave the gaming helmet to my sister."

"That's it."

Shinya Kaburagi was not surprised by Shinjo's answer.

After all, Mayumi has never made a reservation for the game, and Takuma's soul has entered the game, so the person playing the game must be Mayumi.

It's impossible that Takuma's soul has always been around his brother-in-law Shinjo.

"I didn't expect Mr. Shinjo to be such a good brother."

Kaburagi Shinya sighed.

"But it doesn't matter. It's just a gaming helmet, right? I'll give you another one. And the one I give you is not a regular version, but a precious collector's edition."

Shinya Kaburagi originally had no intention of adding any extra details to the members of Shinjo's team, but after looking at Shinjo's face, Shinya Kaburagi always thought of the appearance of a certain staff officer.

"In that case, why not just make Shinjo's role in the game a staff officer of the Earth Defense Force?"

"Mr. Kaburagi, this is too expensive. I cannot accept it."

Upon hearing this, Xincheng refused without even thinking.

Although he really wanted a gaming helmet, he just wanted to buy one through his own efforts instead of accepting one as a gift from others.

Besides, the price of this gaming helmet has been driven up to the sky now, and he and Shinya Kaburagi are not close, so it is even more impossible for him to accept the gaming helmet given by Shinya Kaburagi.

"I know what you're thinking."

Shinya Kaburagi looked at Shinjo, then smiled at him and explained.

"Due to insufficient production, gaming helmets are in short supply and their prices have soared, reaching sky-high prices on the black market. But that is all in the past. Our company is now expanding the production line of gaming helmets. I believe that the problem of insufficient production will be solved soon, and by then the price of gaming helmets will definitely drop to a normal range."

"That's good."

After Kaburagi Shinya's explanation, Shinjo heaved a sigh of relief. The expansion of the production of gaming helmets was naturally a good thing for him, so that he would have a greater chance of winning a gaming helmet.

"So, Mr. Xincheng, this gift must not be expensive. Please accept it. It is also a token of my appreciation."

Shinya Kaburagi said to Shinjo with a smile.

Since the other party had said this, Xincheng naturally felt embarrassed to refuse and could only express his gratitude to Kaburagi Shinya.

"Then thank you Mr. Kaburagi for the gift."

"You're welcome."

Upon hearing this, Kaburagi Shinya waved his hand nonchalantly.

As they talked, the two left Hikino Street and walked onto a small path leading to the nearby mountains.

Looking at the winding mountain road in front of him that seemed to have no end in sight, Xincheng's heart, which had originally been at ease, became tense again.

"Mr. Kaburagi, where are we going?"

"For a midnight snack."

Kaburagi Shinya said as a matter of course.

"But this is the road that leads to the mountains," Xincheng reminded.

“That ramen stand is just up ahead.”

Kaburagi Shinya answered casually after hearing this.

"Mr. Kaburagi, don't you think this is weird? Someone would actually set up a ramen stand on the road leading to the mountains in the middle of the night?"

"Any questions?"

Kaburagi Shinya said nonchalantly.

"Although this is the road into the mountains, there are many pedestrians coming and going every day. People on the road get hungry and eating a bowl of hot ramen here is really comfortable."

Having said that, seeing that Shinjo was still a little hesitant, Kaburagi Shinya continued to speak to him.

"But I heard from the people here that there is a monster named Obike who appears nearby at night."

Seeing this, Shinjo was about to say something, but was interrupted by Shinya Kaburagi.

"But we are men who stand tall and proud. How could we be frightened by a mere monster? Don't you think so, Mr. Shinjo?"

After hearing what Shinya Kaburagi said, Shinjo stopped talking.

He knew clearly that Shin Kabaki was trying to provoke him, but he had no choice but to fall into the trap.

The two continued walking into the mountains, and soon they saw a ramen stall with lights on in the distance.

"Here we are."

Seeing this, Kaburagi Shinya smiled at Shinjo, then quickened his pace and walked towards the ramen stall.

At this time, Obik was planning to close the stall, but at this moment, he suddenly saw a familiar figure walking towards him.

"It's you?"

Obike is very familiar with Shinya Kabaki.

Not only did the boy chat with him very well, but he also gave him a set of gaming helmets, giving him the opportunity to finally see what the village looked like in the past.

Although Obik knew that the world in the game was fake, he still felt extremely happy about it.

"Master, I'm here again."

After Shinya Kabaki approached, he immediately greeted Obik with a smile.

Obike, who had already closed his stall, immediately lit the fire again and prepared to cook ramen for his old customer, Shinya Kabaki, upon seeing him arrive.

"Same old, a bowl of beef ramen, remember to add lots of chopped green onions."

Kaburagi Shinya explained.

"okay."

Obike nodded when he heard this, and then glanced at Shinjo next to Shinya Kabaki.

After seeing the Victory Team uniform that Xincheng was wearing, a strange light suddenly flashed in Obik's eyes.

But soon his expression returned to normal and he asked Xincheng with a smile.

"My dear guest, what would you like to eat?"

"I'm just like him."

Xincheng said casually.

How could he be in the mood to have a midnight snack at this moment? From his secret observation, he found that this ramen stall was weird in every way.

"Oh, right."

While Obike was cooking ramen, Shinya Kabaki suddenly placed the batteries on the table nearby.

"Uncle, is your gaming helmet still charged? If not, I can help you change the battery."

Hearing what Shinya Kaburagi said, Obike immediately turned around and smiled at Shinya Kaburagi.

"Then trouble you."

"Where is it."

Kaburagi Shinya said nonchalantly upon hearing this.

"Sir, as our customer, we will naturally provide you with the best service."

"Then please come with me after you have your midnight snack." Seeing this, Obik said to Shinya Kabaki with some embarrassment.

"Okay."

Shinya Kabaki had no objection to this.

"I would also like to hear more stories about this village in the past from you."

Obike was very happy after hearing what Shinya Kabaki said.

"That's great. In this day and age, there are still young people like you who are interested in the past of this village."

When Obik said this, a complicated look suddenly appeared on his face.

"It makes me feel relieved that someone remembers these stories."
