After listening for three minutes, Afterglow understood what was going on.

A hot spring appeared near a small ancestral hall dedicated to the "Summer Watch", and the village chief's son wanted to transform it into a hot spring inn that would attract tourists and develop tourism.

The village chief refused, saying that the village existed to worship the Lord of the "Summer Watch", and asked him not to put the cart before the horse.

And his son was dismissive of this folklore, saying that Daddy was superstitious.

He felt that the way to go was to increase the income of the village so that the young people in the village would not have to go out to work in the city.

After listening to the general situation, Afterglow lifted his invisibility and asked in a calm tone:

"One thing I'm curious about, since it is said that 'Summer Watch' is the patron saint of the village, how does he protect this place?"

"Did you help the village survive natural disasters such as mudslides and typhoons, or did you help the villagers drive away bandits?"

The village chief's son was stunned by the scene of "a big change of life": "You...... Who are you and how did you get here! ”

Afterglow's eyes narrowed, and the next moment he leaned out, pointed to his eyebrows, and shouted:

"Don't answer other people's questions with questions, now I'm asking questions!"

"Does the school teach you to answer other people's questions with question sentences?!"

After Yu Hui's tone was excited, his whole temperament changed, and he was full of oppression.

The honest village chief was worried about his son, so he hurriedly answered all the questions.

It's just that he doesn't know much, saying that according to ancient legends, Xia Zhiwang is a dragon that dives at the bottom of the lake, and must be respected.

Yuhui pondered for a moment, and then asked, "Then did you leave that ancestral hall to truly believe in it, or were you afraid that it would cause a catastrophe if you angered it?" ”

After the village chief lowered his head, he whispered: "This, it's all there......"

Afterglow asks a few more questions, and discovers that the village chief is actually skeptical about the existence of the "Summer Watch" that has been passed down from generation to generation by the villagers.

It's just that in his traditional view, the "atrocity" of building a hotel near the ancestral hall is not advisable, so he is very repulsive.

To sum up, "the law of the ancestors is immutable".

Yu Hui was noncommittal about this, and looked at the village chief's son again: "You did the video of the dragon coming out of the water that was taken by the 'tourist'." ”

The village chief's son was looked at as a spirit, and he unconsciously shortened half a head in momentum: "Dad said that as long as the number of tourists increases, he will consider demolishing the ancestral hall." ”

So he asked the prop master to make a fake dragon, and then asked the "pure passers-by" to shoot it and post it on the Internet, hoping that the tourists who borrowed it to enjoy the dragon forced his father to comply.

But he never thought that this kind of Li ghost behavior would attract the real Li Kui.

Yu Hui smiled lightly: "This is true, false is true and false, and there is nowhere to do nothing...... Alright, you can do it yourself. ”

After speaking, he walked out of the conference hall, leaving the village chief father and son looking at each other.

"He said that he was the village chief, but he didn't know as much as the girl in white."

"I haven't figured out yet, whether the 'Summer Watch' is an evil dragon or not."

After listening to what happened to Yu Hui, Asakura Lu was a little anxious:

"Mr. Yuhui, why don't you stop them from developing?"

"If the ancestral hall is demolished, won't the seal of 'Summer Watch' be lifted?"

Peijia also nodded, followed up and said:

"Actually...... I don't think it's necessary to demolish that little ancestral hall. ”

"It's entirely possible to leave a vacant lot when building a hot spring inn and keep the ancestral hall."

"It can also be used as an attraction, a place for tourists to pray."

Toba Laiye also thinks it makes sense, that ancestral hall is not as big as her wardrobe, so there is no need to compete with it.

Afterglow touched Pegga's head:

"Pegga is still quite smart, and this is indeed a way to do it."

"Build a Japanese inn and promote it under the banner of 'Century-old Village Inheritance', and the effect will be good."

But then he changed his tune:

"But it's a pity that it's not an ancestral hall anymore."

"Even if the ancestral hall is not demolished, building a hotel is not a small project, and the surrounding forests and trees will be cut down in large quantities, and the surrounding peaceful village will also be destroyed."

"Even if the ancestral hall is not demolished, this kind of 'Tai Sui's head breaking ground' behavior will never be tolerated in the dragon."

"So I can feel that the seal has been loosened."

He sighed a little again:

"This is the contradiction between development and tradition, the collision of the new era and the ideas of the older generation."

"That ancestral hall, in fact, you can see it as the embodiment of the village environment."

"Only when he saw that there was still no accident after the ancestral hall was demolished, did the village chief dare to stamp the documents for building the hotel."

Asakura Lu hurriedly said: "But there are so many tourists here now, if the dragon gets out of trouble......

Yu Hui interrupted him, "Xiao Lu, do you want to be the 'god' who leads humanity and makes the world run according to your will?" ”

Asakura Lu Xin said that this sounds like a dictator, and he quickly shook his head.

Afterglow continues:

"Ultra warriors are not human leaders, let alone gods, and cannot always chart the right course for humans."

"Sometimes, without paying a price, human beings don't have a long memory."

"And without the hard lessons of the past, they may make even bigger mistakes as they move into the future."

"So for now, my advice is, just wait."

After hearing this, Asakura Lu nodded thoughtfully, and Toba Raiha said, "Moreover, we can't be sure of the nature of this dragon now. ”

In her opinion, if this dragon has a great favor to the ancestors of this village, and does not ask for anything in return, but only keeps them from destroying the environment and water sources, then the actions of the descendants of this village are now revenge.

On the other hand, if this is a dragon that has taken the initiative to attack the village, and has been stopped and sealed into the lake, it will be different.

Peijia was skeptical: "If it is really a big monster, then humans should not be able to subdue it by force, they can only be reformed." ”

Afterglow shook his head, "Don't underestimate humans. As long as humans can work hard, one or two monsters will not be a problem. Come, let me tell you about the legendary life of a samurai named 'Ida Iryu'. ”

A few people listened to Afterglow's story while waiting silently by the lake.

After a while, they saw that some staff members had hung banners, and it seemed that there was going to be an annual fireworks show tonight.

"The fireworks show is emotional." Afterglow smacked his lips when he saw it.

Asakura Riku: "What's the matter, Mr. Yuhui?" ”

Afterglow flashes of reminiscence: "In many of the anime I watch, every seven or eight episodes, the hero and heroine will go on a date at a fireworks show, and most of the time you can see the heroine wearing a swimsuit. ”

Bei Laobai came out and said in a disdainful tone: "Look at your unpromising appearance, you will be satisfied with a swimsuit." ”

And Asakura Lu seems to have found a common language: "Does Mr. Yuhui also watch anime!" ”

Yu Hui smiled: "I'm really underestimated, I'm the second thorn newt, maybe I've watched more than you...... "Dating Wars". ”

Riku Asakura followed: "Madoka Magical Girl!" ”

Afterglow continued: "The Way of Raising a Passerby Heroine". ”

Riku Asakura: "One Punch Man"! ”

Yu Hui: "All in all, it's very cute". ”

Asakura Lu: "In Shimosakamoto, what are you doing"! ”

“……”

Toba Laiye and Peijia looked at the two as if they were a pair, and they were all speechless for a while.

At this time, there was some movement in the distance.

I saw several men surrounding a policeman and kept saying:

"It's true, such a big thing, suddenly burst out of the water!"

"Trust me, what I said is true, we all saw it!"

Yu Hui stopped the pair, made an appointment with Xiao Lu to fight again, and asked, "What happened?" ”

The policeman was stunned when he saw the afterglow, and involuntarily took off his hat and saluted:

"That's right, these people saw the dragon coming out of the lake."

"But a few of them were fine, and no one was attacked."

After saying that, he was a little strange, why should I report so respectfully to an ordinary person?

Yu Hui looked at the men with interest: "Aren't you here to admire the dragon, why are you really scared when you see the dragon?" ”

This is the so-called "Ye Gong Good Dragon".

One of the men who looked like "Lu Dehua" said: "The main reason is that I didn't expect that there really is a dragon...... And it looks fierce! ”

If it's the kind of dragon lady who will be convex and backward, then he won't be afraid.

Although the dragon they saw this time only stayed for a few seconds, the fierce light in their eyes and the killing intent made them break out in a cold sweat.

The cop continued to say to Afterglow, "A few of them have been drinking just now, probably hallucinating, you don't have to care. ”

Several men hurriedly said: "No, we have a good amount of wine, a few glasses of wine are not in the way at all, this lord, please believe us!" ”

After saying this, they also wondered, why do we use such honorifics?

Yu Hui smiled, "It's useless for us to believe, we have to make others believe it." You can't let the police evacuate the crowd on the grounds that they're worried about the dragon hurting people, right? ”

Bei Laobai's voice sounded, and he began to analyze it seriously:

"There are some traces of water on them, which should be the lake water that the dragon splashed when it came out of the water."

"Seeing the dragon, but not being attacked, means that the dragon is just warning and not harming them."

"This dragon, maybe it's the type of 'Orbik'."

Afterglow says he's not wrong, but it's too early to tell.

Several men who had seen the dragon saw that the police did not believe it and continued to preach among the crowd.

Tourists were skeptical when they saw their seriousness, and some asked them if they had made a video.

They said that the dragon appeared for a few seconds, and several people were stunned, but they didn't expect that after taking out their mobile phones, there were no tourists to take it seriously.

When several men who saw the dragon heard that no one believed their words, and then thought about the fierce appearance of the dragon, their hearts and livers trembled, and they immediately packed their bags and left.

Seeing the backs of several people leaving, Yu Hui shook his head: "The dragon's warning has failed, there will be a big one coming at night." ”

Having said that, Afterglow was pleasant and not panicked at all.

It's just a dragon-type monster in the water, and there is a high probability that even King Eire can't beat it, and everything is under control.

Thinking of this, he took the King of Airey out of the battle instrument to breathe, and let it stand on his shoulder as a "little King Airey", and watched it all the way with himself.

"Stalls selling candy apples, shooting games with toys, and goldfishing...... It's exactly the same as what I watched in the anime. ”

Yuhui was amazed, and it was also good to let Asakura Lu and Toba Laiye come to play together, and leave some good memories together.

If Aisaki Moeya was here, it is estimated that he would have dragged Asakura Lu all the way to play.

But Toba Laiye looked like she was "puzzled", she said: "I just saw that the son of the village chief took a group of people with tools in their hands to the ancestral hall halfway up the mountain. ”

Yu Hui said: "That's going to do it, right, forget it, next time I will find a fireworks that doesn't farm monsters, let's go and play in the evening, let's go and see it too." ”

A few people also went up the mountainside and saw a group of people armed with axes and chainsaws slashing at the ancestral hall.

Melons and fruits were smashed, shrines were toppled, and flowers were trampled underfoot.

Unlike other young villagers who worked hard to demolish the village, the village chief's son was a transcendent figure who did not have to sell coolies.

He crouched to the side to command, paper cigarette in his hand.

"Yo, they're all busy." Afterglow greeted, and Xiao Lu took a picture behind him with his mobile phone.

This was given by Yu Hui, who said that after the cause and effect of the photograph was posted on the Internet, it could serve as a warning to others.

"It's you." When the village chief's son saw Yuhui, he immediately stood up.

Before, after he came to his senses, he was secretly ruthless, and the next time he saw that inexplicable guy, he would definitely give him some color.

But after facing Afterglow again, he was oppressed by the momentum on Afterglow's body again.

The other villagers couldn't help but stop what they were doing when they saw Afterglow.

It's just a young man, but for some reason, they seem to be more generous than the Japanese prime minister.

"What a beautiful flower, what a pity to step on." Yu Hui said after looking at the white flower under the feet of the village chief's son, who quickly moved his foot.

Afterglow looked at the dragon-shaped shrine that had been pushed into, "Do you hate this ancestral hall that much?" ”

The village chief's son lowered his head and whispered:

"This is also something that can't be helped, if I don't demolish this ancestral hall, my father will always have concerns and won't let us get a development plan."

"We are the only few young people in the village, and everyone else has gone to work in the city."

"If nothing changes, in a few decades, the village will be gone."

"So, only hotels and hot springs can save the village."

Afterglow nodded leisurely, "So that's what you think...... That's right, villagers have the right to a better life. ”

Bird Yulai Ye stepped forward and asked, "But aren't you afraid that the dragon called 'Summer Watch' will come out to take revenge?" ”

Except for Yu Hui, the son of the village chief, who was not afraid of anyone, sneered: "No, I thought that only people who were old enough to believe in that kind of legend were believed in by my father."

"Has history become legend?" Afterglow nodded slightly, "Then everyone, please." ”

…………………………

These two chapters are based on the ninth episode of Ultraman Max, "Dragon Lovers".

I think this episode is written very bluntly in "Ultraman Max", the village chief's son is completely portrayed as a villain, and the didactic intent of "it's all human fault" is too straightforward and obvious.

So I've made some changes a little bit to make it a little more comfortable for you to see.
