The legend of Tiga

Chapter 924 The Lost Self

There is nowhere to go!
I lived here earlier than anyone else, walked through every inch of land here, was familiar with every plant and tree here, and witnessed the changes of the times with my own eyes, but gradually lost my place to stay.

How pitiful, and how sad.

Obick continued: "I still remember that there are fewer and fewer people visiting the noodle stall. I don't know what else to do here. It's time to leave."

"Maybe we can set up a shop with a dark light style, there are still people who like to hunt for novelties." Maya gave Obic an idea.

"Haha," Obic laughed, shook his head, and said, "Thank you, little girl, but there's no need, there is no room for me in this era.

A lot of customers didn’t have any cash on them, and they held a, um, ‘mobile phone’ and said they had to pay. They talked for a long time before I understood what was going on. It was when the shopkeeper gave me the ingredients for soba noodles. A piece of paper, saying that you can pay by scanning the pattern on it.

But what is that?

Just a picture, can you give money to the other party and complete the transaction?It's just too weird. "

Obic's tone was full of confusion, and he said: "There are cameras everywhere in the streets and alleys. I heard that it is called the metropolitan security system. As long as you pass under it, you can know who you are and where you have been.

There are also some strange delivery trucks on the street. There is an iron claw inside that will pinch out the goods. I always thought there were people in it, until I saw someone take it apart one night. It turned out to be just a pile of iron. It's really strange, how did you do it? "

Obic babbled about his doubts and understanding of emerging technologies, and the words he uttered the most were 'strange', 'incomprehensible', and 'what is that'. Few of them could call out their names. It is called by words he can understand such as 'iron clip' and 'car that can move by itself'.

The speed of technological development is getting faster and faster, and various emerging technologies and products emerge in an endless stream, and are quickly put into the society, such as drones, unmanned vehicles, and virtual reality. Piles, pieces, all represent human wisdom crystallization.

The young people are rejoicing, celebrating how much progress mankind has made, happily experiencing the convenience brought by the new technology, but no one looks back, and the old people are still stuck in the long past, dazed. Looking at this ever-changing world, I am at a loss.

This reminded Chiba Makoto of the old woman. She lived alone, stubbornly guarding the dilapidated old house. The only electrical appliance in it was the light bulb. She couldn't learn how to use modern electrical appliances. She even went to the convenience store to buy things. They also paid with paper money wrapped in handkerchiefs.

That old woman was abandoned by the era of rapid development, and Obike in front of her is even more pitiful and pitiful than her, because he even has to demolish his 'old house', and can't find a quiet place Darkness, let him go on living.

Qianye Cheng felt as if a stone had fallen from his heart, and said this sentence with some difficulty: "Do you really want to leave?"

Obic belongs to the ground-bound spirit, and generally cannot leave his own land boundary, and what he said to leave is death.

"." Obic was silent, turned his head, looked at this quiet path, and the darkness at the end, and after a long time, said quietly: "But I don't know this place anymore, it used to be called Yanye Village, I lived next to the lotus pond, which was later renamed Hikono Town, and I lived on the hillside behind the watchtower, and it will be renamed again recently, and I have no place to live anymore.

Children leave one by one, old people leave one by one, and strangers come one after another. No one will know Yanye's original name, and no one will remember what Yanye was like at the beginning. It's all over. , it's over. "

Makoto Chiba has already used his mobile phone to find out the relevant announcements. Yanye Street and the surrounding large plots have been designated as a new development zone for the metropolis. According to the released blueprint, large-scale residential and commercial buildings will be built in this area, with roads, Railways, expressways, etc. are connected to the metropolis to divert the population of the metropolis.

Because monsters and aliens mostly appear in densely populated and prosperous cities, various megacities began to build satellite cities around them to divert the overly dense population in urban areas, so as to reduce the economic losses and casualties caused by monsters and aliens.

The terrain of Yanye Street and its surroundings is relatively flat, and there is a river flowing through it. It is also close to the metropolis and is very suitable for living. Therefore, it has become the first satellite city built to reduce the damage caused by monsters.

This is to protect more human beings.

Obike withdrew his gaze from a distance, turned his head, stared at Qianye Makoto, with a smile on his face, and said, "Can I ask you something?"

"You say, as long as I can do it."

"I haven't seen the sun for a long time, and I have forgotten what it feels like to be warm. I really envy you. You can walk freely in the sun, make friends, play everywhere, and go." Obic The more I spoke, the lower my voice was, and the smile on my face became less and less, until finally I could no longer hear my voice, nor could I see any smile.

Qianye can feel his sadness, reluctance, helplessness, anger, hatred and despair. He actually doesn't want to leave, but actually he wants to stay, stay in the village named Yanye, in the starry night In the middle of the day, he listened to the rushing of the stream, the chorus of frogs in the lotus pond, and the singing of insects in the grass on the roadside. Under the big tree beside the old stone bridge, he set up his soba noodle stall to entertain wanderers from all over the world.

What Obic loves deeply is that peaceful village, and what he is nostalgic for is the quiet life in the past.

But the old trees at the head of the village, the stream in front of the gate, and the moss-covered old stone bridge have all been transformed into high-rise buildings and mountain paradises with the passage of time, and even the people who live here have forgotten them. Now, only Obike is still nostalgic for the disappearing Yano Village, guarding this memory that belongs to him alone in the quiet darkness.

But now even the only ones left are lost.

Strange towns, strange people, and that strange world, Obike has lost the meaning of existence. Although he has entered the 21st century, his heart has already stayed in the place with lotus ponds and watchtowers. , There are also small villages with thatched cottages.

"I..." Chiba Makoto felt as if his throat was blocked, and couldn't say the word 'good'. After a long time, he said: "Actually, there are still many places in this world where the night is still dark, peaceful and silent. You can...you can "

"Thank you for your kindness, but there's no need." Obic said with a smile on his face, "I've lived long enough, and the fallen leaves will eventually return to their roots. Let me stay where I was born."
