Gentleman's Night Canteen

The summer moon looks brighter than usual.

The day belongs to humans, and the night belongs to monsters.

The monsters sitting around on the hill are enjoying the 'summer' that only belongs to them.

The previous pranks plunged the noisy town into darkness for a long time, and this long-lost darkness made Obic forget the passage of time. His eyes seemed to see the peaceful scene hundreds of years ago through the torrent of time. village.

But even so, there is still bitterness hidden in that childlike smile.

Could it be that he doesn't know that all this is just his own illusion?

No, he knows better than anyone.

Because he has personally experienced these hundreds of years of transformation, he understands more clearly than anyone else that 'what is lost cannot be returned'.

But he still chose this incomprehensible 'prank'.

Because he hopes to engrave all the memories that belong to him and the past here, even though this behavior seems a bit crazy to most people.

Until a voice suddenly sounded.

"Ayan..."

Obic's pupils shrank suddenly, and he felt as if he heard a voice that he should have forgotten long ago...

Chapter 51 Monsters and Humans

"Ayan..."

This sudden call made Obic, who was immersed in the memory awakened by the cooking, suddenly awakened, but it was precisely because of this that he was awakened a little bit when he heard the name that no one had heard for an unknown amount of time. In a trance, I even doubt whether I am still in a 'dream'.

But on the other side, Zong Fang and the others, who were monitoring the scene through the communicator, suddenly changed their expressions.

Is there a fifth person on the scene? !

But immediately, everyone felt that the owner of the voice seemed somewhat familiar.

Suddenly, Ju Jing, who was sitting in the co-pilot's seat, suddenly let out an exclamation.

"It's the host!!"

Everyone was stunned for a moment at first, but soon realized who Dijing was talking about.

In the past two days, people who were chasing Obic GUTS have been rushing around the town, and there is an ancient well in the direction they came from. It was precisely because someone found the frightened young man near the ancient well that people were shocked. Realized that 'Obik' turned out to be more than just an urban legend.

And it was near the ancient well that people discovered the "monster tracker" launched by Dagu before, and at the same time they met a temple host, who told them a story that was completely different from the "urban legend". Obic.

In the urban legends that are circulating today, 'Obik' is a monster that walks in the dark. Once the other party invites you, and you choose to accept, then the other party will directly throw the target into the pot and devour it.

In fact, it was precisely because the devoured young man survived that Dagu realized that there might be something wrong with the urban legend.

However, according to the host, the original name of "Obik" was "Master Ayan", and the other party is a monster that has existed since ancient times. The other party is a dark monster that lives in darkness. If you hit him, you will die, but the other party is also a monster who is afraid of loneliness, and always likes to invite people to play games with you.

Because of the host, GUTS also investigated the "Master Ayan" in the other party's mouth, and then found that such a legend did exist in this area in ancient times, but no one can confirm that "Obik" and "Master Ayan" are the same monster, After all, the legendary Master Ayan would not attack humans.

But the sudden appearance of the host's voice at this moment shocked everyone.

Why did the other party appear here?

Tonight, not only Obike, but also a mysterious blue dream appeared, and now even the host who was supposed to be in the temple also appeared, Zong Fang had already started to feel a little pain in his head.

But looking at the cursor on the electronic map that was getting closer and closer, he had no choice but to speed up the only thing he could do now.

Then the opponent slammed on the gas pedal again.

At the same time, Dijing, who was sitting in the co-pilot's seat on the other side, pulled the wristband on the side with a stiff expression.

At this time, he had already begun to wonder if his vice-captain had forgotten that he was not driving a plane but a car because he was too nervous.

And while Zong Fang and the others were rushing towards their destination, the host on the other side had also slowly walked out of the bushes, but for some reason, the other party was covered with a lot of grass clippings and broken branches, looking extremely embarrassed .

Originally, Dagu and Xincheng, who were a little nervous because of the sudden appearance of the host, looked at the host who was silently looking at Obike, and didn't know how to react for a while, but at this moment, the old host suddenly sighed .

"Master Ayan, I'm sorry..."

The sudden apology caught everyone present off guard, but only Obike fell silent, and finally just uttered a sentence.

"It's okay, I don't care..."

He said he didn't care, but the other party's voice, which was deeper than before, made everyone feel a little pain.

It's just that this made everyone even more puzzled, because it seemed that the two knew each other?

Could it be that there is something hidden in it?

Judging from what Obic said before and the expression on his face after eating his own food, the other party should be very concerned about the 'former village'. Could it be that the old man in front of him is a member of the former village?Look at the white eyebrows under the other party's bald head...it is indeed possible.

But at this moment, the two spoke again.

"This land belongs to human beings after all. I don't blame you. You also need to take care of your family and have... your own life."

Belonging to humans?

Although the crowd couldn't see the old man's appearance clearly because of the dark sky, but when they looked carefully, they found a long tail dragging behind the old man. Could it be that... the other party is also a monster?

Just when everyone was thinking, the host let out a helpless wry smile, but still shook his head.

This weird reaction made everyone more puzzled, and even Obike showed a puzzled expression.

The other party spoke again as if he had made up his mind, but what he said this time was a bit surprising.

"Humans are the darlings of this land, and we monsters are born attached to humans. For thousands of years, the day belongs to humans, while the night belongs to monsters. monsters, but there are also special humans among humans..."

At first glance, the host's remarks seemed to have nothing to do with what was going on, but both Dagu and Xincheng had very serious expressions on their faces.

In fact, they suspected that there were other monsters on this earth after they met with Obik, and now the host's speech is a corner of the mysterious veil of monsters revealed for them, and it is naturally an excellent time to collect information Chance.

But the host didn't seem to realize that there were three "outsiders" beside him, and just continued to tell the secret about the monster.

"And with the progress of the times, human beings are becoming more and more powerful, even the most powerful monsters are unable to fight alone..."

"So we chose to blend in with humans."

When Obic said these words, his expression was extremely complicated, and he looked a little sad, but there was no hatred.

Because for him, whether it is the monsters who are his companions, or the children who strayed into the banquet, they are all his friends, but it is a pity that the life span of human beings is too short.

The host on the other side did not shake his head and sigh this time, but nodded again.

"That's right, everyone including me chose to integrate into human society. For example, I, who mastered the art of transformation, chose to become a human being to protect my former companions, while some companions chose to open up a world that belonged to monsters. Future left home..."

Speaking of this, Obic's eyes became more and more silent, and his eyes looking into the distance seemed to see everything in the past through time.

The dark earth, the lively feast;

In the small town full of lights, the companions gradually left;

The times are developing, the town is abandoned, and there is no one around him at this time.

Feelings of loneliness and sadness seem to spread in all directions along the darkness...

Chapter 52 A Dream Broken

The words of the abbot, or the raccoon, evoked Obic's memory.

It's just that what is different from the previous memories is that what he recalled at this time is no longer the memory of holding a banquet with his friends, but the memory of his friends leaving one by one.

The originally extremely lively surrounding gradually became dead silent, until finally he was the only one left.

Loneliness and uneasiness surrounded Obik in an instant, and a dark shadow swept towards him.

'That's right, everyone has abandoned you, everyone has abandoned you, you will always be alone...'

Darker than before, the darker darkness spread from the obic who merged with the black shadow to the surroundings, and it was different from the pure darkness before, the spreading darkness was as muddy and disgusting as mud.

"Damn! What the hell is going on?!!"

Amidst Xincheng's exclamation, Lan Meng had already rushed straight to the raccoon.

"Hey! What the hell is going on?!"

At this time, Lan Meng's expression was extremely serious, not only because his "task target" suddenly went crazy, but also because Lan Meng, who was using oil's "emotional resonance" ability, could faintly feel that the diffuse black mist seemed to be Something bad was mixed in.

And the raccoon who was still chatting with Obic had an extremely ugly expression.

"I...I don't know either!! Ayan...Ayan, it shouldn't be like this!! Is it out of control with its demon power?!"

The current Obik, the former Master Ayan, is a monster born in the darkness. In the darkness, it is almost invincible. Only pure 'light' can restrain him, but the other party is not powerful at the same time. violent.

Although he occasionally plays pranks, the other party actually protects nearby monsters and humans, and was even enshrined as a god a long time ago.

And the raccoon in front of him was once one of the monsters protected by the other party, so he was the one who felt the most incredible about the other party's changes.

Seeing the panicked raccoon, Lan Meng couldn't help but let out a low sigh.

"Calm down!! If you want to help him, you better tell me everything!!"

I don't know whether it was Lan Meng's ability that took effect, or Lan Meng's last sentence awakened the other party. In short, this low voice finally woke up the panicked raccoon.

At this time, it didn't care about putting on airs, and said everything it knew in a panic.

For example, Obic is a 'dark monster', and for example, the other party once accepted offerings from humans, and countless monsters have left and hidden with the rise of humans in the past hundred years.

But Lan Meng always felt that something was missing.

"What about you? What role do you play in this?!"

Obike's change was due to the opponent's appearance, so Lan Meng pressed the opponent again, and this time the opponent hesitated, but finally made up his mind.

"I'm the last monster here except Ayanta."

"The last one?"

At this time, not only Lan Meng, but even Dagu and Xincheng who had gathered beside Lan Meng at some time realized that something was wrong and couldn't help asking.

Maybe it was because he had spoken before, the other party did not hesitate this time, but told the last secret.

"That's right, with the rise of human beings, the growth of monsters has become more and more difficult, so in fact, almost no new monsters have been born in the past hundred years, and the monsters including me have gradually aged... Everyone left, after all We are different from the mighty Young Master Ayan, we were just a group of ordinary mountain beasts, we are extremely lucky to be able to become monsters, how long can we last in this era of decline of monsters?"

Following the other party's rhetorical questions, Lan Meng finally sorted out all the clues.

Obic recalled the past, he said he didn't care about his companion's departure, but in fact he couldn't really forget it in his heart, and the raccoon in front of him reminded him of everything like a final introduction.

Could it be that the other party is the legendary behind-the-scenes boss?

wrong!

If the other party is really a shady person, why would they take the initiative to appear in front of them?

"What is the real purpose of your coming here?!"

"I... think this may be a good opportunity to say goodbye to Obicit."

I don't know if it was because of Lan Meng's fright, or because of other reasons, the other party's voice began to become intermittent because of sobbing.

"As I said before, monsters will eventually disappear, and I am no exception. The reason why everyone chooses to leave Master Ayan is not because they hate him, but because they don't want Master Ayan to be sad because of everyone's death, just like the previous ones. When humans passed away, he was like Master Ayan, so we agreed to leave when we were about to disappear, and told each other that we went to find our own happiness..."

"We know that although Master Ayan will be sad, he will also bless us. In this case, as long as someone is with him, then maybe the other party will forget all this soon, but... now I am the only one left..."

The raccoon's mood finally began to fluctuate greatly.

"I'm... I'm the youngest of all of you, so I've been by Master Ayan's side all the time. Although Master Ayan smiled as always every time he made soba noodles for me, I knew that he didn't know what was going on in his heart. Not happy, it's just that I didn't have the guts to tell him everything...so...so..."

Although the other party said that he was the youngest one, but seeing the white-browed old man in front of him crying sobbingly, everyone still felt a little subtle.

But the puzzle was finally solved.

Obic, or Master Ayan always felt that his friends chose to leave in order to survive, but in fact these friends who left were basically because the end was approaching, and they used a white lie to weave a "garden" 'Let the other party continue to immerse themselves in false happiness.

But as time went by, there were fewer and fewer monsters left, and this false 'garden' also became dilapidated, and eventually collapsed due to its inability to support it.

As for why the other party became like this?

I'm afraid it's because the other party has fewer and fewer "friends", and the negative emotions in his heart have accumulated more and more, and finally became like this.

But even if we know the cause, how should we solve it now?

Obic in front of him is wrapped in terrifying darkness, even if Lan Meng has the ability to convey emotions through food, what can he do with Obic in front of him?

Not to mention whether there is any problem with forcibly pouring food into the other party's mouth, now you can't get close to the other party just by getting close.

Can this task... still be done?

Lan Meng couldn't help feeling a little bald, he was a cook! ! !

But just as Lan Meng was thinking about how to break the situation, a burst of engine roar followed.

"Thorn~!!"
