Chapter 171: Alone in a Foreign Land as a Stranger
The sky was overcast, and the wind was howling outside.
Maya drove the car carefully on the road, after yesterday's 'car accident', which made her quite psychologically about driving, but Chiba Makoto's driver's license is only an ordinary two-wheeled exemption, and she can only drive a motorcycle under 400CC, so she can only drive.
Chiba Makoto sat listlessly in the co-pilot on the left, staring blankly at the pedestrians outside the window who were blown by the wind in their clothes and hair, thinking of the demon Byshumel.
Last night, the victory team turned the area up, down, left, right, and right, but they didn't find anything abnormal, and Horii saw that his eyes had changed, and he almost said, "Are you playing with us?"
He absolutely believes in the detector he made, so the problem must be this guy who pried his goddess, if he wasn't a person with bad intentions, he could definitely use this as a reason for the police department to arrest this guy.
In the end, the matter was over, and the victory team had no choice but to close the team, but Zong Fang Yanming would check the database to see if there was a similar accident when he went back, and Chiba Makoto and Maya waited until the scene of the accident was dealt with before leaving, because they were worried about the attack of the demon Byshumel, and they didn't go home, so they found a hotel nearby and opened two adjacent rooms to live in.
Chiba Makoto didn't sleep well all night, for fear that he would appear after he fell asleep, so he was now depressed, and he yawned from time to time, as we all know, yawning is contagious, so Maya, who also didn't sleep well, was also tricked, and said dissatisfiedly: "If you do this again, how can I drive?" ”
"Then pay attention, this car is rented." Chiba Makoto suddenly came to his senses, this car is rented in his name, after all, Maya is a public figure, in case of bumping into it, the compensation is looking for him.
"Ha, you still know that you're worried about cars." Maya pouted dissatisfiedly, this guy was even worried about the car, but he didn't ask himself if he was scared by yesterday's 'car accident'.
Chiba Makoto heard that his tone was not very good, so he decisively changed the topic, pointed out the window, and said, "It's going to be the New Year." ”
Maya glanced at the sides of the road, where many shops hung banners related to the New Year, and houses hung decorative pine bamboo, straw ropes or circles made of straw ropes on doors, windows and pillars to ward off evil spirits and pray for peace.
"It's the New Year in five days, so soon, it's another year." Maya is in a trance, she used to spend the New Year in the countryside with her grandmother every year, but only she knows that she is waiting for her real family every year.
"It's the New Year." Chiba Makoto had an indescribable and unclear feeling in his heart, and looking back on the past, he realized that he had been in this world for so long, alone in a foreign land as a stranger, and he always didn't want the festival to come.
The New Year here is from January 1 to January 3 in the Gregorian calendar, and people eat soba noodles on Chinese New Year's Eve and watch the Red and White Song Festival, a must-have program for the New Year.
Thinking of this, Chiba Makoto turned his head and asked, "Are you really not going to the Red and White Song Club?" ”
Early in the morning, he heard a noise from the balcony next door, and Maya was telling her agent not to go to the Red and White Song Party, and finally hung up the phone to show her attitude.
Last night she said that she didn't have a job, and Chiba Makoto felt that it was a pretext, Maya is now a popular singer, and she must be a guest on major New Year's programs.
The New Year is the busiest time for celebrities, running around to participate in the show, unless they completely quit the entertainment industry, even the eighteenth-tier stars are not worried about the invitation to perform at the party.
Maya turned her head slightly, glanced at Makoto Chiba, and said, "Shall I go over and perform on stage with that demon?" Or don't. ”
"There are still five days left, so let's just find a way to fix it." Chiba Makoto took out his mobile phone, flipped through the forum, and said: "Your fans are very, very looking forward to it, it's too bad to release pigeons now, and it will give people a handle to attack." ”
“... You hear me. ”
This is what her agent said in the morning, what 'does the current popularity mean nothing', 'can't do what you want', 'more people want to participate in the song party', she said it very tactfully, but she didn't know how to scold it in her heart.
"Your agent is also good for you."
"Finally, there is a cash cow, and of course he wants this tree to be evergreen." Maya let out a long sigh and said, "I just wanted to sing at first, but now singing has become a side job, and recording shows and appearing on variety shows has become the homepage." ”
Chiba Makoto was silent for a few seconds before he said, "Isn't life like this?" ”
Just like him, he came to this world inexplicably, and became Ultraman Tiga, shouldering the unshirkable responsibility of saving the world.
"Forget it, don't talk about this, wait until you think of a way to deal with that demon, and then talk about the song meeting." Maya didn't want to talk about this unhappy topic, her current life was much worse than she thought at the beginning, thinking that she only needed to sing, but it turned out that she was recording shows and running commercial performances all day long, and she was busy with her feet not touching the ground.
Chiba Makoto thought about it seriously, there is really no guarantee that it can be solved, it is the master of Ida Jinglong who went to eliminate Ishummel, or the kind that will not go if he goes, it is estimated that Ida Jinglong does not know much, otherwise he would have found the master a long time ago, how could he run around the world.
The two chatted about the New Year's all the way, and drove all the way from the metropolis to the Aoki Kikai, and did not bring Lucia over on this trip, because the neighborhood was still blocked by TPC, and the checkpoints at some intersections were not removed, and even the monitoring probes were increased a lot.
If Lucia is discovered, it will be terrible, the danger factor is high, so don't come.
Under the guidance of Makoto Chiba, Maya drove from the wide highway to a forest path that was almost invisible, and drove until there was no road to walk through, before signaling to stop, and the rest of the road had to be walked on two legs.
Maya got out of the car and glanced around, countless tall trees were standing, no people were seen, and no sound could be heard, she would never come to such a secluded place if she was alone. And a man takes a girl to the depths of the jungle off the beaten track, no matter how you look at this plot, it looks like you want to do something wrong.
Maya turned her head to stare at Chiba Makoto and asked suspiciously, "Are you sure he lives here?" ”
"We're here to meet," Chiba replied, meeting Maya's eyes and asking, "What kind of eyes do you have?" ”
"Look at the bad guys' eyes." Maya waved a fist the size of a sandbag at Chiba Makoto, and walked forward, looking curiously at the Jizo stone statues on both sides of the forest path all the way, I didn't expect that there was a Shinto in this forest, in this case, could it be that there is a temple inside?
Maya has already imagined in her mind the image of a monk who is alone in the ancient temple, such a person, knowing the things of demons and monsters, and even being able to kill demons is also very commonsense, so maybe he can really solve that demon.
It's just that imagination is beautiful, but reality is always cruel.
When Maya saw the gray-haired patrol officer coming over on a bicycle, the image of the enlightened monk that she had just drawn in her mind instantly fell apart, and with a full of resentment and a hint of luck, she said to Chiba Makoto: "He's not the person you want to meet, right?" ”
"It's him!"
The eminent monk is completely gone! The Mayan mentality has also collapsed!
