"Absolutely no more." Maya pushed the bowl far away, as if she was far away from something terrible, shook her head again and again, and said, "This place must not come too much, it is easy to gain weight, no, it will definitely grow fat." ”

"It's good to exercise more, like I run a half marathon every day, and no matter how much I eat, I'm not afraid of getting fat." Chiba Makoto ate his second bowl slowly, today Obike is very rare unlimited supply, unlike before, only one bowl is served, and he is very disgusted and drives him away immediately after eating.

Maya nodded and said, "I now know why you have filmed several scoops, and you are still a special reporter, and you spend all your time running, and you spend more snacks on interviews, and you probably have already become a well-known reporter." ”

"Journalists are just a side hustle, it doesn't matter."

Maya asked curiously, "So what is your main business?" ”

I've known Chiba Makoto for so long, every time I call him, I have time, I'm not idle, and I don't have any motivation for interviews or anything, like this time, she finally got an interview card, but this guy didn't even go to an interview.

You can't just ask him to have an interview, right? When can't this be, the song club is not every day Alas, it's too salty.

'Do you believe me when I say fight monsters?' Chiba Makoto said in his heart, but when he came to his mouth, it became: "Investigate the myths and legends around the world, so many myths and legends are actually real, it's interesting, isn't it?" ”

Maya thought of the mythological stories recorded in Makoto Chiba's notebook that she saw a few days ago, and if all of them are true, then... It seems scary, but how can it be interesting?

"For example," Makoto Chiba raised his hand and pointed at Obic, who was cleaning up the board, and said, "Have you heard of Obic?" ”

"......" Orbik turned his head, glared at Makoto Chiba dissatisfied, and said his lines in front of him, what do you mean? It's too much.

"Orbik?" Maya was stunned, how did the topic turn here, and said uncertainly: "I seem to have heard this ghost story on the radio station, why do you say this?" ”

"Ah, he's it."

"Huh?" Maya was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously turned her head to look at the noodle stall owner with a kind smile, the lid of the noodle pot in the middle of the two suddenly moved, and then took off on the spot, and a black thing rushed out of it, and shouted outward: "Come and play with Obik." ”

It's just that as early as when the pot was moving, Chiba Makoto had already raised his hand quickly and covered Maya's eyes, so that Maya only heard the voice of the fourth person, and said in a loud voice: "What's wrong?" Why are you covering my eyes? ”

"Because if you don't, you may not be able to sleep tonight," Chiba Makoto saw the black thing re-enter the pot, so he put down his hand and said, "I was shocked at the beginning, you little coward, don't be frightened, anyway, you are obviously a cosmic person, why are you afraid of ghosts?" ”

Maya said angrily: "Can't cosmic people be afraid of ghosts? ”

After speaking, I thought that Chiba Makoto said that this boss was Obike, and he was immediately coaxed, leaned over to Chiba Makoto, who was already very close, and said in a very low voice: "Don't scare me." ”

It's really a place for the occasion, surrounded by silence and darkness, it's simply a place for natural ghost stories, and no matter how brave you are, you will also beat drums in your heart when you walk on this road.

"He didn't scare you, I'm indeed Obik," Obike 'cooperated' with Chiba Makoto, and continued to clean up his console, saying: "I have lived in this village for so long that I have forgotten it, and I have seen it with my own eyes, from a small village, slowly and slowly becoming what it is now, thatched houses have become brick houses and then high-rise buildings. ”

"Thatched hut?!" This word that has only been seen in the museum, the startled Maya has a creepy feeling, and the whole person is about to stick to Chiba Makoto, and said, "You... You know? ”

"Hmmm! He was indeed not human, but an old monster who had lived for a long time. ”

"It's rude to call an old man like that."

Not to be outdone, Chiba Makoto retorted: "Then you also act like a respected old man, it's scary to set up a stall here all day long, and it's boring enough." ”

"I'm just—" Orbik lowered his voice and said, "I don't know what to do, all the familiar things are gone, all the traces of existence are gone, what is the meaning of existence?" ”

"Who knows?" Chiba Makoto doesn't know what to say, he's said everything he should say, and he can't give Obik a reason to survive, isn't it good to live? And who can tell him what is good about being alive?

Life is stressful, busy to death in exchange for three meals a day, endure the unreasonableness of the boss, Party A's difficulties... All of this can be said to be for the sake of the family to live a good life, and after a busy day, drag the tired body back, and enjoy the warmth of the family.

But Obik has long since lost his family, and he lives alone in this world, for a long, long time, until he is numb, and now even the last familiar things are gone.

Obic sighed and said, "I really don't know where to go?" There's really no point in leaving here, just to live for the sake of living, so why bother? ”

Maya sat there, looking at Makoto Chiba, and then peeking at the stall owners who suddenly became depressed, wondering how they had suddenly switched to the philosophical topic of 'the meaning of life'.

What is this for?

The more ordinary the profession, the more I like to discuss some lofty things, what national events, life philosophy or something.

Chiba Makoto took out two bills and put them in the wooden box, then got up and said goodbye to Obic, and Obic just nodded, and continued to clean up his seemingly never-ending board, until Chiba Makoto rode his motorcycle and disappeared around the corner, he raised his head and looked at the empty street in a daze.

Maya, who was sitting in the back seat of the motorcycle, put her arms around Chiba Makoto's waist, and couldn't help but look back at the soba stall, the lights dimmed, completely blending with the darkness, making the road even more terrifying, and hurriedly turned her head and shouted, "What the hell were you talking about?" ”

"His name is Orbik, and he's lived here for a long, long time, and now he wants to make a big fuss and die."

"Huh?" Maya was stunned by this divine turn, this operation has never been seen before, not to mention setting up a stall to sell soba noodles in a secluded place, but also to make a big fuss, and then die, are ghosts so unique these years? You wouldn't dare to shoot a horror movie like this, right?
