After sleeping until three o'clock in the morning, Chiba Makoto got up refreshed, and in the eyes of the housewives of the town, wearing sportswear, he ran at full speed on the road that was only four or five meters wide in the town.

Although ten kilometers a day, for Chiba Makoto, whose physical fitness is beyond ordinary people, there is basically no improvement, but it is better than nothing, it can be regarded as maintaining a state.

It wasn't until noon that he finished his long-distance running and fist and foot kung fu training, ran home from the grove outside the town, took a shower and changed clothes, and after lunch, he rode his small motorcycle out of the town and drove in the direction of Hikono Town.

Makoto Chiba drives a motorcycle on the Ring Metropolis Expressway, with high-rise urban buildings on the left and small villages on the right, and occasionally a few buildings under construction, silently telling the expansion of the metropolis and swallowing up one small village after another.

The destination of his trip, Hikono Town, was originally just a very ordinary small village, but thanks to the expansion of the metropolis, a highway was planned to pass through the middle of the small village, so it attracted a large number of business-minded people and began large-scale land enclosure and development.

Old houses have been demolished and replaced by patchwork of high-rise buildings, narrow and dilapidated stone roads have been eradicated, expanded into clean and tidy asphalt roads, clear rivers have erected bridges of different widths, fences, and electric poles have been erected in the streets and alleys, which continuously deliver electricity to each household and light up the night...

The traces of the past have been completely erased in just a few years, if the distant wanderer returns to his hometown after a long absence, there will definitely be a feeling of going to the hometown like a rotten Ke person, because I can't find a little familiar feeling, everything is extraordinarily strange, the hometown is still there, but the hometown is gone.

Riding a motorcycle in Hikono Town, Chiba Makoto's biggest feeling is that it is busy, there are a lot of construction machinery outside the town, excavators and bulldozers are busy leveling the land, and a large number of construction vehicles shuttle among them, transporting the soil and rock from the highlands to the low-lying places.

It didn't take much effort for Chiba Makoto to find a hill that might be where Obik lived, that is, the planned place for the construction of Hikono Town Health Park, and this sign with a length and width of only one or two meters represents that this land that has existed for an unknown amount of time has an 'owner'.

"Alas!" Makoto Chiba sighed slightly, rode his motorcycle on, drove away from the asphalt road, turned onto the dirt road in the undeveloped area, and didn't go far before he saw the well that looked very old and made of stones.

Stop the car, lie on the edge of the well and look inside, there is no water at the bottom of the well, the development of Hikono Town, so that the population here has increased dramatically, domestic and industrial water is all from the ground, so that the groundwater level has dropped rapidly, this very old well has become a dry well, but even if it is not a dry well, there is convenient tap water, no one will come here to work hard to carry water.

However, this well does not communicate with Orbik's pot, but the pot can teleport people into the darkness, and this well is just one of the teleportation points.

At this moment, a voice came from behind him: "Young man, if you have any difficulties, you can tell me, don't do stupid things." ”

"Huh?" Chiba Makoto got up and looked back, an old man in a half-robed robe was walking towards him, obviously thinking about him, and hurriedly said, "Don't get me wrong, I'm just curious to see, I didn't want to jump." ”

Chiba Makoto got up and looked at the old man who should be a household priest judging from his clothes, and just wanted to speak, he frowned slightly, this old man gave him a very wrong feeling.

And the old man was relieved to see that the young man had left the edge of the well, but he saw that there seemed to be a flash of light in the young man's eyes, which made him have the illusion that he had been seen through inside and out, and he couldn't help but stop and look at the young man suspiciously.

In Chiba Cheng's eyes, this old man suddenly turned into a raccoon cat in clothes, which made Chiba Cheng grow his mouth in surprise, this is a monster, or a tanuki spirit who believes in Buddhism, this...

Well, Chiba Makoto was really shocked, although he knew that this world was very different from his previous life, but he was still stuck on aliens and monsters, and ghosts and monsters just had a general idea, and suddenly saw a monster in human form, as if he had entered Journey to the West.

The old man was so disgusted by Chiba Makoto's eyes comparable to X-rays that he couldn't help but take half a step back, folded his hands, and said, "That's the case, I'm sorry." ”

"That's... Master, do you know Orbik? Makoto Chiba hurriedly called out to the master who explained the details of Obic to the victory team in the original book.

"Orbik?" The old man stopped and asked hesitantly, "Excuse me, are you..."

"Oh, I'm a journalist, and I heard that there is a legend of Obic in Hikono Town, and I want to know about this legend," Chiba Makoto hesitated for a moment and said, "Actually, the last time I came to Hikono Town, I had already met Obic once.

At that time, he was setting up a noodle stall on the street at night, and the taste was very good, and I wanted to know more about him, but he pulled the car and ran away. ”

"Aren't you afraid?" The old man was a little surprised, this young man was a little bold, he saw Obic, and he didn't run away in a panic or be stunned, but 'scared' Obik away, this way is wild enough.

"Well, it's a little scary, but it's nothing scary, and I wonder why he didn't leave and stayed here." Chiba Makoto looked at the town below the mountain and said, "This mountain is also going to be developed and built, and there will be more barren mountains and mountains built by humans in the future, and it will be illuminated by colorful neon lights at night, which is no longer suitable for him, isn't it?" ”

"Looks like you know a lot."

"I've heard about it, but no one can tell me why Obik didn't leave, so I'm going to look for him tonight and ask him in person."

The old man felt that he still underestimated the boldness of this young man, and others avoided Obic, and he even wanted to take the initiative to find it.
