Across Ultra: Half Dream

Da Gu, who was forced to take the blame, rolled his eyes helplessly.

"Ah! I remember now!" Horii clapped his hands fiercely. "My late grandmother always told me that when Obike appears, I must never look back."

"Brother Horii, why?" Chloe asked, shaking Horii's hand.

"Because I'll be eaten! Aa ...

"Lululu, Brother Horii is not scary at all!" Chloe stuck out her tongue.

As soon as they sat down, Commander Munakata said seriously, "Rumors of sightings of Obik spread around Hikino Street about three months ago. However, this is the first time a real victim has appeared. Look carefully! The place where the young man met Obik is right here!"

Ye Rui pointed at the map and said, "Then it was discovered here, in the mountains of Yanye Street."

Zongfang continued: "According to the police, the two were only five minutes apart."

Horii scratched his head in confusion and asked, "How is that possible?"

Lina's face was filled with shock: "It only took five minutes to cover such a long distance?! How did you do that?!"

Captain Iruma Kei looked at everyone calmly and said, "That's why they want the Victory Team to be dispatched."

Xincheng thought for a moment and said, "Why did Obike send him back?"

"Is it to scare people like Horii-nii?" Chloe couldn't help but remind her, "Brothers and sisters, look, nothing really happened to this person! Don't you think it's strange? He's like a troublemaker."

After hearing what Chloe said, everyone was silent for a while and found that what Chloe said made sense.

Captain Iruma Kei calmly assigned tasks: "Whatever the reason is, as long as we investigate, we will find out. Alright, everyone, let's go tonight and find out why Obike did this."

"Okay! x5"

"I want to go too!!" Chloe looked at Captain Iruma Kei and waved hard.

Captain Iruma Hui looked at Chloe disapprovingly, "Well... Wan, this is very dangerous!"

"Either, either, my best sister Iruma Hui~ I will just follow my brother, he will protect me~ Sister Iruma Hui, you are the best~ Yeah~" Chloe blinked her big eyes and said coquettishly.

"Oh, I'm really defeated by you, little girl. Go ahead." Captain Iruma Hui looked at the cute Chloe helplessly and could only turn to Dagu and say, "Dagu! Awan's safety depends on you! If even a hair falls, you can expect a 10,000-word self-criticism!"

Dagu looked at the scene that had appeared many times in a daze, "Yes! Captain!"

Munakata commanded, "Alright! Everyone, take a break and then we'll set off!"

"Got it! x6"

At night, everyone began patrolling the streets of Hikino Street, leaving poor Shinjo alone.

"I'm Xincheng, everything is normal here!" Just after that, he had the misfortune to meet the real boss.

"Come play! Play with Obik!"

Shinjo wanted to turn back, but he held back when he remembered Horii's words, and his body trembled uncontrollably.

Fortunately, Xincheng did not look back at the first time, and Obik met Lina and Jujing again when he retreated. At the same time, Xincheng told them through the walkie-talkie that Obik was the ramen seller.

On this side, Jujing was foolishly planning to have a bowl, but was suddenly attacked by Obik.

"Horui/Horui brother, be careful!!" Daigu and Chloe hurriedly reminded Horrui loudly.

Just as Obik was about to continue attacking Horii, Chloe kicked him away in time. Then Dagu threw a tracker into the pot. Obik continued to retreat, smashing the street lamp and scaring Lina again.

Dagu moved quickly while reminding Lina: "Lina, be careful in dark places, Obike moves in the dark!"

Munakata: "Alright! Reduce the dark area and surround Obik!"

Horii ran out of breath and asked, "How do we shrink the dark area?"

Chloe quickly reminded: "Brother Horii, stop talking nonsense and turn on the light!"

After hearing this, the Victory Team reacted quickly. They learned that Obik was afraid of light, so they drove their car and successfully surrounded it.

"You can't escape anymore! You monster!" Xincheng tried to scare Obik with his voice.

"My name is Obik! And that's my shadow, Shadow!" He turned around and summoned the shadow, "Come out, come on!"

The next second, Obik summoned his own shadow and sprayed flames at everyone.

"You'd better not underestimate the power of darkness!" After saying that, Obik used his energy to extinguish the street lights, and with a bang, he turned into smoke and successfully escaped.

Lina looked at the disappearing Obike in disbelief, her eyes full of surprise and confusion: "That's Obike?!"

Dagu showed a smug smile on his face, his eyes full of confidence and pride: "Don't underestimate us!" His words revealed his affirmation of his team's abilities.

Horii came forward and asked Daiko curiously, "What did you throw into the pot just now?"

Chloe jumped up excitedly and shouted, "I know, I know! My brother threw the monster tracker into that pot!" Her expression was full of pride and joy, as if this discovery made her particularly happy.

Commander Munakata looked at Daigu with appreciation and nodded: "You are really amazing, Daigu." His tone was full of recognition and praise for Daigu.

Dagu smiled and replied, "Hehe, just wait until tomorrow, then we'll know where Obike is!"

Commander Zong Fang waved his hand and gave the order: "Okay! Pack up! Everyone have a good night's rest!" There was a hint of fatigue in his voice.

The team members responded in unison: "Yes!"

Afterwards, everyone started packing up their equipment and dragged their tired bodies back to the base.

The next day, the Victory Team followed the tracker's instructions and found a dry well.

Dagu looked at the machine in surprise: "But why can't I find it? The machine shows that it should be in this area."

Xincheng scratched his head in confusion, frowned and asked, "Could it be that the machine is broken?" He looked at the equipment in front of him with suspicion.

Upon hearing this, Horii immediately jumped up and retorted, "Absolutely impossible! My inventions are meticulously designed and tested. How could they break so easily? I've put so much effort into developing them, and the quality is absolutely guaranteed! Furthermore, they're incredibly effective and durable. Therefore, the machine can't possibly malfunction! It must be something else that's causing the problem."

Lina frowned and reminded: "This seems to be where the first victim was found."

"Are you looking for this?" A monk suddenly appeared.

Afterwards, the members of the Victory Team understood the origin of Obik through the explanation of a monk.

It turns out that it is also called Master Ayan in the local area. It has been living in the dark corner here for a long time. However, with the continuous development, the once peaceful village no longer exists.

However, Obik's life was constantly disturbed, and the reason why it appeared and attacked humans was to cause panic and make humans choose to leave where it lived.

The Victory Team rushed to the hospital to visit the guy who was attacked, but unexpectedly, Obik's exclusive BGM suddenly sounded, and everyone began to search every dark corner in the city. However, even if they found it, it would be useless because Obik could teleport and disappear.

After a lot of futile efforts, Vice Captain Zong Fang decided to take action at night and formulated a battle plan.

At dusk, Obik and Shadow sat on the hillside and looked at the gradually disappearing village, feeling sad. The excavator would arrive tomorrow, and the last familiar place would soon disappear. They planned to make the most of this last night.

As night fell, Vice Captain Zong Fang launched fireworks into the well and found Obik's location. Everyone surrounded Obik again, but it did not react. Then it introduced the village in its mind to everyone.

With his back to the crowd, Obike excitedly pointed down the mountain and said, "It's exactly the same as before, just as dark! Look! That's the night of the village before! Our village is back! The old village is back!"

Then he excitedly introduced the place, gesticulating with joy, "Look! That's the village's lookout tower! There's a clear stream over there! Across the river is the lotus pond! The village is back! The old village is back! It's back, it's back! The old village is back!"

Dagu couldn't bear it any longer and said to Obike, "Obik! That's not a village! In that darkness, there's no longer the village we once knew! The village we once knew can never come back!"

Obike's retort collapsed: "Impossible! You lied to me! I saw it clearly! The old village"

"The old village has long since disappeared!" Chloe couldn't bear to watch any longer. She extended her hand to Obike and continued, "Obik, come with us. We will find a quiet place for you to live. We will definitely find one! Please trust us!"

"I don't want it!" Obik refused. "If, if this isn't the same village as before, if it isn't the same village as before... then I'll destroy this place! Ah!!!"

After saying that, Obik grew huge, ready to destroy everything in front of him.

After seeing this, Da Gu found an opportunity to transform into Tiga and started fighting with Obike. It was more like a fight than a battle. Neither side used their full strength, and Obike was crying while fighting, like a child who had been wronged but had no one to talk to.

On this side, after seeing the fight between the two sides, Chloe hurried to a deserted place, ready to stop them and rescue Obik.

"Obik, stop. I know you don't want to destroy anything here."

"Who are you? I can't go back to this village, and there's no point staying here!"

"But you knew from the beginning that humanity's development is accelerating, and sooner or later the village will disappear! It's inevitable! And you will disappear too! Come with me, I'll take you to my planet and let you live there!"

Obik stopped fighting and thought silently for a moment.
