The Monster User Doesn't Want to Become the Ultimate Lifeform

"Yes, although it is to protect humans, it would be nice if I could not be so busy. Chizuru always complains that I don't spend enough time with her."

"Come on, you're not satisfied with having us by your side?"

After finishing their daily patrol, the few people were chatting, and the bickering pair of Horii and Shinjo started to fight each other again.

However, it is precisely because of the collision between these two guys with their own comedic talents that the originally endless overtime tasks have become less boring.

Of course, Lin Zhun is not too worried about holidays.

After all, if he wanted, he could use Baltan's magic bandage to create a clone to take his place at any time - Daigu was more honest in this regard.

"Oh, by the way, have you heard the story of Obik?"

As one of them was holding a bag of jelly, Horii pretended to be deep and lowered his voice a little, as if he was telling a horror story.

However, except for Lin Zhun whose expression became slightly stiff, everyone else looked uninterested.

"What was that? One of those silly jokes you just learned, Horii?"

"certainly not!"

"That's a funny joke?"

"Why does it have to be a bad joke?"

After turning around and arguing with Daigu, Horii scratched his head when he saw that he couldn't create a terrifying atmosphere.

"Actually, it's a monster from my hometown. According to legend, when night falls, a monster named Obik appears on the streets and captures bad kids who don't sleep well..."

"Isn't that the story adults often tell about how if you don't eat well, you'll be eaten by the Big Bad Wolf? But why did you think of telling this story out of the blue?"

"It's not Nori. I was listening to a horror story column in the war room, and it just happened to remind me of this story."

Horii shrugged. In fact, he originally wanted to take this opportunity to scare Shinjo.

As for Ye Rui

As the youngest of all, although he is a famous genius in TPC, he is also the most lively and unstable in character.

It is naturally difficult to sit still during the high-intensity laning and alert times with the Flash Man during this period. In addition, this guy is still sitting in front of the computer, so he occasionally uses the computer at headquarters to listen to stories to relieve stress.

This is not a problem.

When Lin Zhun was on night shift, he even teamed up with some of his monsters to play games.

The only problem is that Nori is caught red-handed by Iruma Kei who happens to come in.

"Wow, I was wondering why he looked so sad today. So this is what happened."

Everyone's faces showed a look of understanding and nodded. It seems that they have to be more careful when slacking off in the future.

"But then again, I feel like there's been a lot of talk about Obik lately. I really don't understand what people are into. And now the topic of youkai is trending again..."

"Uh, are there that many?"

"It's a lot. If I hadn't heard it on the radio, even I, who have heard the story of Obike since I was a child, would have almost forgotten it."

This is really sad.

Thinking back to the old man he met when he first came to this world, Lin Jun felt a little melancholy.

Of course, no one can be blamed for this. The times need to develop and society needs to progress. Even a place like the Lion's Trunk Sea, which has the terrifying name of Japan's Devil's Delta, cannot escape this.

This is indeed a good thing. After the establishment of TPC and the global people reached a consensus on cooperation and gave up internal fighting, humanity as a whole is developing rapidly.

The muddy dirt road turned into a spacious asphalt road, the leaky thatched huts turned into reinforced concrete, and the old kerosene lamps turned into electric lights, illuminating the entire human civilization in the darkness.

But in this process, there will always be people who cannot keep up with the times and are left behind.

It’s a pity, but there is no way to change this kind of thing, at least not something that humans can change now.

Lin Zhun sighed, and a feeling of helplessness arose from the bottom of his heart.

Looking up at the gradually darkening scenery outside the window, Lin Jun found an opportunity to stick the Baltan Magic Band-Aid on his forehead under the pretext of going to the bathroom.

The next second, a clone replaced him.

Hikino Street, a not very famous or, to put it more simply, an unknown little place.

However, recently the surrounding land was acquired to build a sanatorium, and more than two months ago many radio stations began broadcasting legends about the monsters here, making this place a little famous.

"Boss, another bowl of noodles."

Lin Jun sucked a bowl of buckwheat noodles into his mouth expressionlessly, chewed it a little and swallowed it, then said to the noodle stall owner.

Next to him you can see a small hill of empty bowls.

Whenever someone came here out of curiosity or wanted to taste the buckwheat noodles here, Lin Zhun would forcibly drive them away using his mental abilities.

"...I say, young man, aren't you a little too idle? And you're really getting in my way."

Looking at Lin Zhun who had been coming almost every few days recently, the noodle stall owner shook his head helplessly, but he still made another bowl of noodles for Lin Zhun.

"What's wrong with that? Anyway, I've already bought all the soba noodles here, so you don't have anything to lose."

Lin Zhun took out a few banknotes from his pocket, looking unmoved.

“You may not be able to finish all this.”

Halfway through his words, the noodle stall owner swallowed back what he was about to say.

In front of the noodle bowl on the other side, Silbagon in doll form and three cosmic cats were showing off their soba.

Especially Silbagon, he was about to go straight into the transit bowl... Lin Zhun on the side gave this guy a bang on the head.

Well, to be honest, the head is really hard!

As for Ja Gorgon, he changed into human form and sat there quite elegantly.

While opening his mouth and waiting for Lin Zhun to feed him noodles, he wished he could shoot a petrifying ray at the stall owner.

Chapter 137 Obik is coming

"Honestly, how about I give you some money and you go eat something nice during this time and don't come to my place?"

Looking at the young man who appeared in front of him a year ago, Obik raised his hands in a compromise.

He had also heard about some of the other party's affairs from other monsters who had survived to the present day... When they even realized that Sukina-kun had resurrected, they almost couldn't hold back and wanted to go over and deal with the guy who was causing trouble.

However, before they could take any action, Sukina was captured by Tiga and Jagorgon.

In every sense, the other person is a good person, but it is uncomfortable to keep pestering me.

Because of this, he couldn't carry out his original plan, and even the traffic he had saved money from selling buckwheat noodles over the years was declining rapidly.

It can be said that if Lin Jun continues to pester, Yanye Street and the name Obike will soon become ignored again.

"So you can't go somewhere else? There are still many places in this world that are suitable for you, places that are not illuminated by lights."

"Even humans move, so why does it have to be here?"

Putting down the bowl of noodles in his hand and comforting Jagorgon who was about to shoot a petrifying ray, Lin Zhun looked at the stall owner in front of him and said sincerely and helplessly.

But Zero》*—↑≈韭[3. Browse￥搜ｑ群: In this case, he really hopes that Obike can see this point.

If all else fails, he can ask Hilbagon to create an identical village in a rainbow environment.

but--

"Yes, there are many suitable places, why must it be this place?"

This place is old and dilapidated. Young people with some ability have moved out of the village long ago. Even some elderly people with poor mobility left here due to the government's demolition and reconstruction plan and the persuasion of their children.

If you think about it, he is the only old guy who really chose to stay.

"Because this is home." He shook his head and gave an unexpectedly simple answer.

This also made the words that Lin Zhun was about to say stuck in his throat.

Sometimes the simpler the reason, the more unshakable it is. For example, why do people eat? Because they are hungry.

"...I'll keep an eye on you anyway."

Knowing that it was impossible to convince the other party, Lin Zhun was silent for a moment. After considering whether to use his ability as Leonicus to forcibly control the other party, he finally chose to stay awake.

"Young man, why are you doing this? Can't you just focus on your own life? Why are you wasting your time on an old man like me?"

Obike was obviously helpless about Lin Jun's choice.

When it comes to patience, he is naturally not afraid. The young man Lin Zhun will definitely not be able to outlast him.

But the problem lies in the bewitching spiritual fluctuations of Lin Jun. Even if they are emitted unconsciously, it is difficult for people to hold back. He worries that one day he will really believe in the other party's evil. In fact, he has already lost his faith in Taoism.

In short, now it depends on who can't bear it first.

"By the way, how are you and the alien sisters doing?" Probably out of boredom, Obik, who was making noodles for Lin Zhun, took the initiative to start a conversation.

"...It's alright."

"Not bad? Ha, young man, I'm just old, not blind. Don't think I can't see some things..."

His eyes swept over Ja Gorgon who was sitting on the other side, and then Obik said with a tone of someone who had experienced it.

The development of the universe is too far away for Obik, who only cares about the small village where he lives, and he has no interest in understanding it.

But it’s different when it comes to things between humans.

Don't forget, as a dark monster, his main activity time is at night... He knows very well what people do at home or in the wild after dark.

When the village still existed, I helped provide cover for young couples going out and drove away mosquitoes and wild animals countless times.

How could such a thing be hidden from him?

As for Lin Zhun, who was being talked about and taught various experiences by Obike at this moment, he could only say that he was numb. He kept saying "um", "ah", "oh", "it's not what you think", and then was exposed by Obike one by one.

——I feel like if this guy keeps coming like this in the future, he might be the first one to die of exhaustion.

Finally, when it was almost dawn, Lin Zhun finally chose to run away.

But before leaving, he looked at Obik with some concern.

"That's enough, I've been chatting with you all evening. What are you still worried about, young man? Go live your life."

Obike waved tiredly at Lin Zhun.

Looking at the faintly glowing sky in the distance, Lin Jun then confidently put a Baltan magic band-aid on his forehead and then disappeared on the spot.

But just after he left, a monk dressed as a monk but with a civet cat tail behind him came over.

"Master Ayan, it's almost time for you to accept reality."

"Don't try to be so rude, old civet cat. I've stopped using that name for a long time. Call me Obik now."

"Okay, Obik is Obik, but what that young man said is right, if the old doesn't go away, the new won't come. You really shouldn't continue like this."

"Go away, go away! I get angry when I mention that guy. He's been annoying me for ages! I finally waited for him to leave, and now you're here again? Why are you all so annoying? Do you believe I'll shave all the hair off your tail?"

Before the monk could finish his words, Obik interrupted him impatiently, which made the latter feel helpless.

Of course, he was a little scared when the hair on his tail was shaved off.

But no matter what, he knew that the good friend in front of him had made up his mind and no one else could persuade him.

It's sad, but it's reality.

"But that young man has put a lot of effort into you. Is it really okay for you to lie to him like this?"

"Let this be a life lesson for him. Don't trust monsters or other people easily in the future."

Scratching his big bald head with an embarrassed look on his face, Obike then spoke to himself.

The monk standing opposite him sighed again.

After leaving a word "take care", he walked away, and the raccoon cat's tail behind him disappeared.

In today's society, humans no longer need monsters like them.

Whether they were kings or defenders of their own land in the past, they have all become characters abandoned by the times and have to keep their tails between their legs - just like him.

On the other side, after Lin Zhun returned to the base and exchanged with his clone on the bed, before he could breathe a sigh of relief, the PDI in his chest made a harsh sound.

"An emergency occurred in the Tokyo area. Last night, several people were attacked by a monster calling itself Obik!"

""

Looking at the briefing on PDI, Lin Zhun's expression suddenly became extremely complicated.
