Chapter 111: The Reality of the Magic Lamp
The sun had sunk below the horizon, the heavens and the earth were gradually plunged into darkness, the street lamps on the telephone poles and the tall and low houses were lit up, and the main road through the town was crowded with departing cars.
The trio of Chiba Makoto, who had found nothing, came out of the alley, and saw the new star running towards here from a distance, and I hurriedly greeted it, saying, "Didn't I let you go home?" It's so late, and there's a monster showing up, your mother must be worried about you. ”
"But... But... I'm also worried about my dreams. Xinxing Mian's voice became quieter and quieter, and his words were quite unconfident, saying that he was worried, but in fact, he finally met the idol and wanted to stay with him for a while longer.
Asuka walked over, touched the head of the new star Mian, and said with a smile: "We're Ultraman, no problem, hurry home, Mom and Dad can't find you, they must be very worried." ”
Chiba Cheng also followed: "The three of us don't leave, and we have to spend the night in your treasure house, Xiao Mian, you can go home with peace of mind, and come to us tomorrow, okay?" ”
Xinxing Mian wanted to say something, but after listening to Chiba Makoto's words, he could only nod silently, turned around and walked in the direction of home, and looked back at Ultraman who he had finally seen after walking two steps, very reluctant, but when he thought that his mother was also worried about him, Xinxing Mian felt that he wanted to go back to reassure his mother.
Before he got far, he vaguely heard someone anxiously shouting 'Xiao Mian, Xiao Mian', and the new star Mian, who was depressed, suddenly smiled, jumped his feet, waved his hands, and shouted loudly in that direction: "Mom, I'm here." ”
A woman about thirty years old was shouting anxiously, heard Xinxingmian's voice, hurriedly ran over, hugged Xinxingmian, looked carefully, and was relieved to make sure that the child was okay, and said angrily: "Why don't you go home, do you know how worried I am?" ”
"I'm sorry!"
After finishing speaking, Xinxing Mian's mother hugged the child tightly again, comforted, and said, "You must be frightened by the monster, Mom is here." ”
"I'm not afraid, Mom," Xinxing Mian said excitedly, "I saw my dream, and Asuka, and Chiba, they defeated the monsters, and they will save the world." ”
"Huh?" Xinxing Mian's mother was stunned for a moment, but she still followed Xinxing Mian's words, it is better to love fantasy than to be scared out of the psychological shadow by monsters.
After comforting the child, he pulled Xinxing Mian home, it was already so late, he could only wait until tomorrow to find a place to live outside the town, and he was going to venture to live at home tonight.
When he was about to turn to another road, Xinxing Mian couldn't help but look behind him, only to see Chiba and the three of them standing under the street lamp, waving at him, Xinxing Mian smiled on his face and nodded vigorously
Along the way, Nova excitedly talks about what happened when he got along with Yume, Asuka and Chiba, and tracked down the red ball that would destroy the world...
The three of them watched the new star Mian's mother and son leave, and only then began to discuss the trio of Hiroshi Kashimada, who had disappeared inexplicably.
Chiba, who kneaded his arms, swore honestly that he was absolutely accurate, and saw with his own eyes that the trio of Kashimada Hiroshi ran into this small alley, and this small town is not like a bustling big city, full of high-rise buildings that obscure the view, just a few high-rise buildings, with Ultraman's height, he can almost look down on the whole city, and he will never be mistaken.
"Did you run away over the wall?" Asuka guessed, but immediately a new question came up: "How did they know we were coming?" ”
They ran here as soon as they got the news, and unless the three children had clairvoyance and ears, how could they know they were coming.
"Because the light on you is too strong." A soft female voice sounded, and the three of them turned their heads to see that Risa Nanase was standing on the side of the road expressionlessly, looking at the residents who were packing up their things and leaving their homes, with sadness in their eyes that could not be hidden.
"Light?" Asuka walked over, crouched down, and asked, puzzled, "Can the three of them see the light on us?" ”
Nanase Risa shook her head and said, "It's the one who can see the light on you." ”
"You mean the red ball?" I said uncertainly, the red ball saw the light on their body, so he disappeared with the three children, doesn't it mean that there is self-awareness, this girl is the embodiment of good, and the consciousness of the red ball is the aggregate of evil.
Chiba Makoto thought that he met the trio of Kashimada Hiroshi at the school gate, if it wasn't for that guy who summoned the monster and wanted to protect people, he had to transform into Tiga to fight Flame Gorzan, and he would have caught the three of them a long time ago.
However, Yume and Asuka can't even see the three of them, so the red ball can't see the light on himself.
Thinking about it, Chiba Makoto couldn't help but take the golden flute out of his clothes, and said silently in his heart: "Thank you, Shaji, for helping a lot." ”
It would be terrible if the red ball could see the three of them, meaning that the three of them should never want to get close to the red ball, but Shaji's golden flute, blocking his own light so that the red ball could not 'see' him, gave him the opportunity to find and approach the red ball.
Nanase Risa lowered her head and said: "It has extremely high intelligence, it is the technological limit of material civilization, and it was originally intended to make the life of human beings in another dimension better, but human desires are endless, and one wish after another was proposed, and in the end, human beings were destroyed by their own wishes. ”
Chiba Makoto couldn't help but think of the story of Aladdin's magic lamp, Aladdin was originally just a poor gangster, but with the help of the magic lamp, without any effort, he had wealth, power, palace, and married a princess, after removing the halo of fairy tales, what remains is people's desire for wealth, power, and beauty.
And after having wealth, power, and beauty, they think about longevity and health, and after they are immortal and healthy, do they have no desire?
In reality, the magic lamp is a red ball made by humans in another dimension, even if it is an elf, contact with humans full of desires all day long, and realize these desires all day long, it will be unconsciously dyed black.
The journey from world to world has allowed the red ball to absorb endless desires, even if it is as pure as white paper, it has been dyed into black ink, and those who touch the red ball will also be affected by the negative emotions filled in the red ball, so that they will be controlled by desire.
Just like the three children of Hiroshi Kashimada, in normal times, they would never want to summon monsters to appear and destroy the city or even the world they live in.
Thinking of this, Chiba Makoto immediately asked, "Do you know where the red ball is?" ”
Risa Nanase shook her head and said, "Before every world is destroyed, it will send me to the next world, and then use me as the coordinates to reappear in this world, and the only thing I can do is let it appear nearby." ”
