Carrying a big backpack, standing at the door of a familiar and unfamiliar house, looking at the two-story building in front of him made of light steel keel plus wood and fireproof board, Chiba Makoto sighed slightly, from today onwards this is his home.

Stretched out his hand to push open the courtyard door, and was about to go in, when he suddenly heard a voice behind him: "Chiba? Didn't you go on a trip? ”

Makoto Chiba took two steps forward, only to realize that Chiba seemed to be calling him, and turned his head to see a black MPV (multi-purpose vehicle) parked at the intersection, and a middle-aged uncle wearing black-framed glasses and a scruffy beard peeking out of the cab.

"Why did you come back so soon?" He doesn't speak so neutrally, with a cigarette in his mouth, and his oily head and slightly messy hair give people a strong sense of decadence.

Stunned for a moment, Chiba Makoto turned out the name of this person from memory, Onoda Yuhiko, who lives not far away, is a news reporter and freelance writer, and has been engaged in this industry for 20 years.

It stands to reason that with such a long experience in the industry, he should evolve into a workplace elite, but since Chiba Makoto met him, this uncle has always been very decadent, never said that he is full of energy, careless, and looks unworthy in the world.

According to the people in the village, he was not like this, he had been in the television station for nearly 20 years, he was a small supervisor, but he suddenly quit his job four years ago, I don't know where he went, and when he came back a few years later, he became extremely decadent, and then made a living by taking news photos and writing for some newspapers, and he did not have the spirit of the previous year.

"It's Uncle Onoda." Chiba Makoto put the heavy backpack on the road to the door paved with tiles under his feet, and walked over, he and this uncle still have a very good relationship, although the other party is very decadent, but many years of experience as a news reporter, he has accumulated countless anecdotes, these stories are very popular with children's phantoms, after he tells the story, he will always let the children study hard, don't always play.

Onoda parked the car on the side of the road, turned off the engine and got out of the car, and said to Makoto Chiba, "What, were you scared back by the monster?" ”

"Hmm!" Makoto Chiba was stunned for a moment, and then nodded, it seems that the news of the monster has spread from Akita to Chiba, but this is fine, there is no need to find another reason to explain why the trip was suddenly interrupted and returned.

Onoda Yuhiko leaned on the car, spat a smoke ring at the sunset, and said very melancholy: "I don't know how this world has become like this, even monsters have run out, but this is okay, it is time to make those so-called realists sober up, don't look at the world with narrow eyes." ”

"Uh..."

Onoda Yuhiko's sudden philosophical emotion made Chiba Makoto not know how to pick it up, so he had to change the topic and said, "Uncle, did you just get off work?" ”

The words are nonsense, but they are indeed very suitable for when they don't know what to say, otherwise wouldn't it be even more embarrassing for the two of them to sit and not speak.

"I went to Akita and interviewed the city that was attacked by monsters, heh, what is there to interview, uncover people's scars, and those who survive will bear the pain of losing their loved ones, which is more unfortunate than dying." Onoda Yuhiko sneered, his words full of sarcasm, and after he finished speaking, he realized that the teenager next to him had also lost his parents.

In the past two or three years in the town, I haven't seen any relatives come to see this teenager, and he has always been alone, so the other day he said that he was going to travel, which made Onoda Yuhiko very happy, and felt that the words he had been encouraging the teenager to go out for a walk had an effect, and it would make people sick if they were always alone in a cold home.

After realizing that he had lost his words, Onoda Yuhiko immediately changed the topic and said, "But don't worry, kid, the monster has been destroyed by the giant, and there are many people in Akita who have witnessed the giant appear, defeat the monster, and then disappear again, alas, this world is becoming more and more unrealistic." ”

After he finished speaking, he habitually sighed, turned around and took out his mobile phone from the car, and said, "Do you want to see what the giant looks like?" ”

Asked if he had brought up the photos he brought back from Akita, Chiba Makoto leaned over curiously, one photo was taken very amateurishly, the angle and focus were not very good, and even Tiga and Gorzan were not in the middle of the frame, but they could still see Diga and Gorzan clearly.

Yuhiko Onoda showed the photos he brought back with him, and said, "The monsters that destroyed the city appeared, and the giants who destroyed the monsters also appeared, and everything in this world is mutually reinforcing, so there is nothing to worry about, and you can rest assured that your life is at ease." ”

"Well, thank you, uncle." Chiba Makoto nodded, this uncle is actually a very good person, and his photography skills were learned from Uncle Onoda.

Since he was a child, he could only see his parents in photos, so that Chiba Makoto had different emotions about photos, and felt that photos could record people and things that had passed away, so he spent a lot of money for him to buy this camera, and was ready to record that the trip had ended just at the beginning.

After showing the photos he brought back, Onoda Yuhiko caught a glimpse of the camera that Makoto Chiba still had hanging around his neck, and said as if he was looking for a topic: "Have you taken anything these days?" ”

As he spoke, he had already picked up the camera, turned on the LCD screen, and saw a new photo taken by Makoto Chiba at a glance, Gorzan and Melba standing in the mountains, bending down and waving their claws, as if they were doing something, but they didn't take a picture below.

"This..."Onoda Yuhiko was suddenly shocked, there was more than one monster, and what surprised him even more was that he was also photographed by Chiba Makoto, no wonder this kid came back with a very bad face, and suddenly saw two monsters taller than the building, and the distance was so close, he must have been frightened.

But what surprised him the most was that he wanted to care about this child, but he didn't expect to have such a big windfall, in addition to the monster that was destroyed by the giant, there was also a big bird-type monster, but TPC's external announcement was only that Gorzan, that is, they concealed the truth.

As an old reporter, Onoda immediately realized that he had to report it as soon as possible, otherwise once this monster reappeared, the newsworthiness would be greatly reduced.

But this photo was taken by Makoto Chiba at the risk of his life, and he couldn't take advantage of a lonely child.

And Chiba Makoto, who had experienced too many things yesterday, completely forgot about the camera, and then thought that he took a photo of the monster and the giant stone statue in the middle of the mountain yesterday, hesitated for a moment, and said: "It was the victory team who saved me, and they also asked me to keep it secret and not to tell it." ”

"Secret, secret, they know secret," Onoda Yuhiko seemed to be triggered by a bad memory, and suddenly became extremely excited: "If she had said it, she wouldn't have known anything about the past, and as a result..."

Halfway through his words, Onoda Yuhiko stopped, took two deep breaths before suppressing his excitement, and said, "Sign my name, let them come to me, and give you all the remuneration, and... Well, do you have any plans for the future? ”

"Later?" Chiba Makoto shook his head, all he thought about along the way was his own life experience and Tiga's strength, and he didn't have the heart and energy to think about anything else at all, Uncle Onoda asked, and he only remembered that Chiba Makoto, who graduated from high school, did not choose to go to university.

"Do you want to be a journalist?"

"Journalists? Me? ”

"That's right, it's worth a lot now," Onoda Yuhiko shook Chiba Makoto's camera and said with a smile on his face, "Aren't you envious of being able to let them sign an employment contract and a special press card with you, just like me, running around taking pictures, interviews, and writing with a camera?" Do this job first, and then change it when you find a better one. ”

"Sounds pretty good." Chiba Makoto secretly thought in his heart, it's better than being a coder before the crossing, and he can't write novels anymore in this life, it's a dead end.
