Chapter Ninety-Eight: Hikono Town
"Wow-"
At night, on the quiet bottom of the sea, a submarine quietly left the base to avoid TPC detection, no one would have thought that Xia Long would appear at this time, nor would he have thought that he could use a non-TPC submarine.
"I'll be back soon, Captain, Dagu, be sure to wait for me!" Xia Long said silently in his heart.
Following a strange route, the Exocet stalked silently, getting farther and farther away from the base, and in a short time Xia Long saw the shore.
"This place seems to be Shizuoka Prefecture." Waiting for the Flying Fish to stop, Xia Long browsed the electronic map and spoke.
His only impression of Shizuoka Prefecture was that a zombie monster had appeared before.
Perhaps it was because Masaki took into account the TPC blockade that the Exocet took him to stop at the bottom of a mountain cliff, due to the special terrain, if he wasn't at the scene, he might not have been able to find it through the satellite alone.
Xia Long couldn't help but admire Masaki Keigo a little.
"Click!"
Controlling the Exocet to float on the water, Xia Long opened the hatch and walked out with a box.
The suitcase was originally placed in a small space behind the seat, Xia Long checked it, and the things were very complete, not only clothes and necessities, but also some documents, which seemed to be prepared by Zhengmu for himself.
"It seems that this is the way back that guy left for himself," Xia Long said bitterly, "It's cheaper for me." ”
Indeed, to complete these things in the TPC, it is a secret door and a submarine, which cannot be done in a short time, and Masaki is afraid that he has been preparing for it for a long time.
Standing on the submarine, Xia Long did not rush to the shore, and first took out some clothes and changed out of the conspicuous victory team uniform on his body.
The weather was still a little cold, and after Xia Long put it on, he fortunately took a scarf to cover his face.
"In that case, it should be about the same."
After the costume change is completed, no one will recognize him at a glance, as long as you pay attention, there will be no danger.
Nodding, Xia Long emptied his suitcase and put the team uniform and a change of clothes inside.
He only needed to stay for three days, and he didn't need much.
Taking out the liaison and submarine controller left by Masaki, Xia Long threw unnecessary clutter back into the cockpit, closed the hatch, and remotely controlled the Exocet to sink into the water.
After packing up, Xia Long carefully browsed the contents of the document information again.
It's a new identity, Shingo Katori, 24 years old, older than Xia Long, but it's nothing, it's just that the difference in appearance is a little big.
"Then again, that name sounds familiar." Xia Long muttered.
The information is simple and complex.,Simple because all the content that will cause trouble is gone.,Orphans.,Otaku.,These two alone are the ideal disguised identity.。 is complicated, but the identity is very elegant, leaving no flaws.
"Three days?"
After putting away the information, Xia Long looked back in the direction of TPC, and after a while, he walked up the rock with the box.
In the dead of night, it was not until the middle of the night that Xia Long came across a town.
When he found the station, he pretended to be a dusty traveler and asked the uncle on duty, "Can I go to Tokyo now?" ”
Although it was dangerous, he decided to go back to Tokyo, at least, to see if Akiyama's mother-in-law and Reiko were safe.
The uncle yawned and told him, "There is no shuttle bus from Hikono Town to Tokyo for the time being, and we will have to wait a few more hours." ”
"Is that so? Thank you. Xia Long had no choice but to wait, and it happened that his stomach was also a little hungry, so he planned to find a random place to eat something.
"Hey, be careful at night, someone has seen Obik recently!" Seeing that Xia Long was leaving, the uncle on duty kindly reminded.
"Orbik?"
"A monster that appears at night and eats people!" The uncle was quite jealous and said, "It's so late, it's better not to walk around outside." ”
"It's okay, I'll take care of it." Xia Long smiled faintly, even if he couldn't transform now, it wasn't to the point where he needed to be afraid of monsters.
Touching his belly, which was starting to rattle, Xia Long walked out of the station with his uncle's head shaken.
Speaking of which, from the beginning of the morning until now, not only has he not eaten, he has not even drunk a glass of water, but he has swallowed a few mouthfuls of salty seawater, and now his lips are beginning to dry and crack.
"By the way, where is there food? I forgot to ask the uncle. ”
Standing lonely in the middle of the street, Xia Long was a little dazed for a while, most of the shops had closed at this time, and only the cold wind blew the fallen leaves flying around.
"Let's go back and ask." Seeing that he really couldn't find a place to eat, Xia Long had to start walking back.
"That's all for this episode......" Suddenly a small voice came from the direction of the street corner.
"Huh?"
Xia Long stopped, faintly smelling the smell of food.
"It's so fragrant, the smell of buckwheat!"
Following the sound, Xia Long walked towards the corner of the street, and found that there was actually a soba stall, steaming under the light of a red lantern, which looked antique, and the sound came from a radio.
"Would you like a bowl of soba noodles?" The stall owner noticed Xia Long and said with a smile.
"Okay, okay." Xia Long was stunned for a moment, then nodded and walked towards the stall.
Orbik? I seem to have an impression.
After sitting down, the stall owner put up a bowl of noodle soup.
"Then you're welcome." Xia Long, who was already hungry and panicked, couldn't care about the identity of the stall owner in front of him, and buried his head in eating, "It's delicious!" ”
I don't know if he was too hungry or what's going on, but he always felt that the soba noodles were more delicious than ever, and he couldn't help but moisten the corners of his eyes.
Growing so big, I haven't run away like I am now......
"Thank you, eat more if it's delicious." The stall owner still smiled.
"I've kept you waiting, this is the horror rumor column that hosts Kotake late at night," at this time, the radio on the side played again, "Since someone met Obike two weeks ago, I have received many letters from viewers about Obike, and these letters are from the birthplace of Obik's rumors, Hikono Town......"
"Young man," said the stall owner, lifting the lid of the pot, "do you know anything about Obic?" ”
After eating the last noodle, he drank the rest of the soup in a big gulp, and after a while, Xia Long wiped his mouth and said, "I know, is it that, it's just that at night, I suddenly said to you in the dark......"
Seeing the stall owner's smiling face that asked him to continue, Xia Long hesitated: "That, can you have another bowl of trouble?" ”
I don't want to admit it, but I really want to eat it.
"Ah, uh," the stall owner paused, "Okay, no problem. ”
Without saying much, Xia Long continued to eat the second bowl, much faster than the first bowl.
"Thank you," Xia Long burped after eating, and when he saw the stall owner looking at him blankly, he said embarrassedly, "I'm sorry, I haven't eaten for a day." ”
The stall owner's lips moved, and he lifted the lid of the pot again and said, "Young man, since you have heard of Obik, do you want to see him?" ”
"That, I'm ......" Xia Long didn't respond to the stall owner, but looked at the soup bowl in a daze.
"You, do you want a third bowl?" The stall owner was a little frantic and forced a laugh.
"No," Xia Long shook his head and said, "Actually, I escaped today. ”
I don't know why, in the face of the very unfortunate Obic in this original play, Xia Long always feels very kind.
"If you don't have enough money, it's okay."
"It's not about money, it's about it," Xia Long sighed lightly, "How to say, this time I've reached a very important juncture, and it's a much more severe predicament than before. ”
"Huh?" The stall owner's face froze.
"A former enemy is about to recover, but with my current strength, I'm afraid it's not an opponent at all." Xia Long said slowly, "The time is too short, I originally wanted to prepare more, although these preparations may not have any effect, but ......"
"Hey, you ......" the stall owner lowered the lid.
As Obic, he appeared here to scare the townspeople, and the reason why he said so much to the young man in front of him was also to add a witness, but he didn't expect the other party to say something strange inexplicably from just now.
"I'm sorry," the stall owner in front of the meeting was confused, Xia Long shook his head and said with a wry smile, "How much?" ”
"One hundred yen."
Leaving the face money, Xia Long got up and said goodbye: "Excuse me, thank you for your hospitality, if you have the opportunity to meet again, I will definitely thank you." ”
"As long as there is hope, I can't give up, and I don't want to give up on the village to work so hard." Seeing Xia Long leaving, the stall owner suddenly spoke.
Xia Long was slightly stunned, and when he looked back, he saw that the entire stall had disappeared into the corner of the street out of thin air, as if it had never appeared.
After a long pause, Xia Long nodded silently and said, "I will." ”
Hopefully there's a chance to say goodbye.
For these natives of the Tiga world, he is a passer-by who has caused too much trouble.
Carrying the box, Xia Long continued to walk towards the station.
"Two hours to go."
Tokyo......
