Dimensional inventory, tribute to brilliant people.

"When night comes, the whole village will be shrouded in darkness." The monk's words were also full of emotion and nostalgia, looking at the mountains and open spaces that had been filled with unknowingly. The excavator said: "But it's different now. This mountain will soon be transformed into a health center, and groundbreaking will begin tomorrow."

"If it comes then, it will definitely be very lively."

I don’t know if the monk’s words were sarcastic or contained some other meaning?

All in all, after informing the victory team about what was going to happen in Hikono Street and some details about Obik, the monk returned the 'monster tracker' to Munakata, and walked into the depths of the temple after saying goodbye.

Speechless, everyone in the victory team also looked at the mountains and fields covered with construction equipment and fell into silence.

They seemed to know what was the purpose of Obik wandering around the streets and alleys of Hikoye Street at night, intimidating passers-by, and spreading Obik's name?

After thinking about some things, complex emotions naturally filled my heart...

However... everyone in the victory team did not notice that behind the monk's butt, a tanuki's tail also disappeared in a flash.

There is no need to say more about the identity of the monk.

But at this time, even the many viewers waiting in front of the video screen knew very well that remaining silent was the best choice.

"That's it for tracking Obik's actions. Let's go back to the headquarters and continue to designate related plans."

"learn."

In desperation, the victory team also chose to retreat.

However, the area around Hikoye Street is gradually becoming more lively.

Obik's story has become more and more widespread under the influence and spread of "urban legends". Especially after the real victim appeared, people from all walks of life paid more and more attention to Obik.

The reporter was conducting interviews in the Hikoye Street area, and the victory team accidentally passed by, which also increased everyone's enthusiasm.

In desperation, everyone was surrounded by a group of melon-eating onlookers, asking increasingly outrageous questions. The rumors about Obik and the victim became more and more terrifying. Piccolo's blood has been sucked dry and he can no longer survive."

Everyone was teased to death by the rumors flying all over the sky.

However, the victory team's influence in the market is not small.

After Munakata couldn't bear it anymore, he chose to directly use the official name to clarify the rumors about Obik.

"Everyone, the young man who was attacked by Obik is not in any danger now, so everyone please go home early and try not to go out on the streets after dark. At the same time, be careful about where you go at night. A stall selling soba noodles on the street!”

After hearing Munakata's warning and clarification, the onlookers surrounding the victory team also dispersed one by one.

However, even though the victory team clarified Obik's issue, reporters looking for hot news were still interviewing a person who spoke very exaggeratedly and spread rumors about Obik.

This situation played into Obik's hands. Now Obik, who was overlooking the earth from the top of the mountain, used a telescope to see the reporter's interview and happily expressed that his "pot tactic" was a complete success.

Dagu also realized Obik's purpose through interviews with reporters.

"I mean, the purpose of Obik's pranks at night is to scare people?" Xincheng also showed an expression of disbelief after listening to Dagu's story.

"That must be the case." Dagu also responded to Xincheng's words, analyzing Obik's actions and motives, and said: "If a real victim appears in a place where rumors are flying, a city may be in the city Legends' and reality are confused under the influence, which is why Obik kidnapped the young man and then sent him back."

"The goal is to spread horrific news to make the residents of the town afraid." Munakata also realized Obik's motives.

"I see."

"It's a tough question."

Everyone more or less guessed Obik's motives.

But that’s why it’s particularly tricky.

"drop--!!"

At this time, the melodious sound of the Qiang flute also reached everyone's ears.

This sound is exactly the same as the music when Lina met Obik from the street last night. There is no doubt that Obik is launching a new round of tactics!

"Obik, Obik is here!"

I don't know who among the crowd shouted such a sentence, and the atmosphere of fear quickly spread.

"Obik, run away quickly, Obik is here!"

Suddenly, the melon-eaters who were still crowding in the square to watch the excitement quickly fled in all directions.

No one wants to be the second victim.

After all, although the young man who was attacked was not in any danger to his life, his hair turned really pale, which was particularly scary.

No one wants to experience the feeling of being captured by Obik.

Everyone on the victory team looked around in great surprise, looking for traces of Obik.

"Can't it only move within the range of darkness?"

Indeed, so now Obik is hiding in a dark crack in the wall and playing the music of the Qiang flute.

Everyone in the victory team also followed the music of the Qiang flute and continued to advance on the streets of the town. However, the streets were already in chaos. Frightened people ran away in the streets and alleys and got into the houses. , the merchants who set up stalls on the side of the road were also desperately packing their things, for fear that their slight negligence would attract Obik's attack.

After the five people pulled out their pistols and found the alley where Obik had hidden his figure before, they found out helplessly that it had moved its position.

"Okay, let's search all the dark places in the town at once!"

In today's daytime, Obik's range of movement is very limited.

However, even so, there are naturally an incredible amount of darkness in a small town.

The problem is that the current victory team has no better way. The five people immediately grabbed their weapons and started a close and rapid search in the town.

Whether indoors or outdoors, every inch of land in the town was searched by five people - everyone was following the sound of the Qiang flute that filled the town, so they would not search randomly like headless flies. .

On the contrary, Obik used his ability to disappear and appear in dark places at will as a prank to dodge around every corner of the town, as if toying with the five members of the victory team.

Xincheng, who was afraid of ghosts, found Obik in a cement pipe in a small park. He was timid and his legs were too weak to walk after Obik disappeared.

Lina found Obik among the photo cameras in the mall, but when she arrived at the scene, all she saw was Obik's grimace reflected in the photo.

Dagu found Obik in the supermarket employee's locker room, but Obik's stick hit him on the head mercilessly, and he took the opportunity to escape.

"Where is Obik?"

After searching for a long time but unable to catch Obik, everyone gathered on the street at dusk. No matter who was under Obik's tricks, they were so tired that they kept panting.

"drop--!!"

At this time, a large truck also drove through the street in front of the five people, and the familiar sound of the Qiang flute reached everyone's ears again.

The five of them watched the large truck leave before reacting.

"Ah!" Da Gu pointed at the carriage of the large truck and made an unclear sound.

"Ah!" ×4

The other four people also looked in the direction of the large truck one by one, and the five people took steps again.

Time is passing quickly and dusk has arrived...

Chapter 376 Goodbye Obik

After a very fierce chase, Obik, who could move freely between the dark areas, was still surrounded and searched by the victory team and escaped, and now he has disappeared.

At the same time, with the appearance of Obik, the residents of the town have fled in all directions driven by fear.

Either he packed up his things quickly and returned home, or he drove a vehicle and left the town without stopping.

After all, when "urban legends" were widely circulated, there were serious victims. Obik has become a heinous and terrifying monster in the minds of the melon-eating masses. No one wants to become the third one. Two victims.

Nowadays, there is no one in the streets except the Victory Team.

In a sense, Obik's plan has been a complete success.

Nowadays, the residents living in the town and the cities near the town all know the name of Obik, and at the same time they are afraid of Obik's attack. Once they see Obik's appearance or hear the news, At the sound of Obik's Qiang flute, everyone was so frightened that they ran away in unison.

After that, I don’t know what kind of plans it has prepared...

Many viewers waiting in front of the video screen gradually felt melancholy after following Master Tanuki's narration and knowing the details of Obik and the past and present of Hikoye Street.

Obik gradually became less ferocious in everyone's eyes, and the sadness and gloom hidden in its ferocious expression gradually came into the audience's eyes.

For a moment, the perceptive audience probably understood Obik's intention.

It is not an evil monster. Although its reputation as an "urban legend" is very loud, it has never really harmed anyone.

Even the young man who was unconscious after being attacked by Obik and the Shadow Mage was tested by the TPC medical department and proved that his body was not damaged at all, except for the fact that his bangs turned white inexplicably. , completely unscathed.

What Obik did was just to spread fear and drive away the outsiders who came to Hikoye Street.

It is just trying to use its own power to protect the memories of the town at the last moment...

The endless lotus root pond has disappeared in the town. Therefore, at least now, the town that carries everyone's everything, memories and life cannot be turned into ruins under the atmosphere of the city and the construction of the construction team. and a health center filled with steel bridges.

"Why are you like this?" After a long chase, Xincheng was so exhausted that he kept panting in the park. He was also full of depression. He couldn't suppress the annoyance and discomfort in his heart no matter what. He couldn't help but Raising his head and staring at the sky at dusk, he asked, "Why does Obik try so hard to scare the people living in the small town?"

"Gollum, Gollum..."

Next to him, Horii was so tired that his throat was filled with smoke. He ignored Shinjo's inquiries and swallowed pure tap water above the pool in the park.

Even Munakata, who had always been serious and serious, took off his helmet due to severe fatigue and sat on a park bench to take a short rest.

On the other side, Dagu and Lina gathered together, watching the photos taken by Obik's camera while he was in and out of the mall.

"Um......"

Picking up the photo of Obik, Dagu also looked at the grimace of Obik on the photo. After careful observation, he saw the pained and grinning expression under the grimace.

"In other words, this guy still spent a lot of effort to resist the glare from the flash." Lina also pointed out Obik's shortcomings and said: "Obik should be very afraid of light. of exposure?”

"So it's very strange."

After hearing Lina's words, Horii, who had had enough tap water, raised his head, took out a towel he took out from somewhere, wiped the water droplets on his face, and responded to her words.

"what?"

Dagu and Lina also looked at Horii in front.

In this way, it was Horii's turn to be surprised. After looking at Dagu and Lina, his eyes showed an expression of "Today's young people really don't have much knowledge" and said: "You don't know?"

"Monsters are afraid of light. Once the body is exposed to light, it will definitely die. So under normal circumstances, it is impossible for monsters to run around in broad daylight anyway!"

"Why take such a big risk?" Dagu also showed a puzzled expression as if he had realized something.

"Eh?" Lina, who had been out of the situation, also expressed her doubts.

"So why risk your life to go under the sun in broad daylight?" Dagu also wondered about the reason behind Obik's desperate action, and said: "It's just to scare the police in the town. People...what happened this time cannot be such a simple situation, there must be a special reason!"

The problem is that even if they realize that there is something hidden behind Obik's actions, the victory team, who don't even know the whereabouts of Obik, are still unable to crack the answer to the mystery.

"Only Obik may know the answer to this question."

Zongfang also reluctantly responded to Dagu's inquiry.

After taking a rest and relaxing his brain, Zongfang also thought of a new way. He stood firm and walked towards everyone, saying: "If it is night, Obik must be with the shadow. In that case, I will There’s a new way.”

Time passed quickly under the discussion of the victory team, and it reached dusk and sunset.

Now Obik is sitting in the woods between the mountains. He has found a good position and looks at the town at the foot of the mountain. The scenery above the town is all in his sight.

The small pot hiding the Shadow Mage was placed beside it. As Zongfang expected, the two were indeed inseparable no matter what.

"Shadow, now only the beautiful sunset is exactly the same as before." Looking up at the sunset floating in the sky and dyeing the clouds red, Obik also lamented the infinite beauty of the town's scenery, but his words were full of infinite melancholy and a touch of unnoticeable sadness.

Many viewers waiting in front of the video screen gradually fell into silence, staring at Obik's back, as if they saw the action of raising his hand to wipe away his tears, and there was a trace of sadness in his heart. a feeling of.

It is like a wanderer who has lost his hometown.

Standing on the top of the mountain, looking at the specious land, looking for a trace of the familiar atmosphere, but in the end, he was extremely disappointed and showed a sad expression.

The endless lotus root pond has disappeared.

Today, the familiar town is about to disappear under the intrusion and development of the steel jungle.

Who can understand Obik's feelings?

Now, the thing that makes Obik find warmth and familiarity is actually the unchanging but fleeting sunset and sky.

"I think we must get out of this place."

Hugging his knees, Obik also squatted among the grass on the cliff, scanning the town at the foot of the mountain with the corner of his eyes.

After hearing Obik's words, the small silver pot gradually opened along with the shadow mage's probe. The fluid substance that seemed to be turtle jelly also looked at the town at the foot of the mountain as if it were a human being, looking at the parked car. The excavators and bulldozers on the road said: "Tomorrow, the excavators will drive to the mountains, and even the mountains will become different."

"It's like a dream. The former village disappeared without even realizing it."

Obik's chin was buried under his knees, and his eyes seemed to be shining with a spark of crystal light. He complained in a porcelain voice about the changes in things and people that remained after the passage of time.
