When the wheel of the times rolls by, all the "little people" can do is to adapt to the development of the times.
"If you want to fight, you'd better give up." A light emanated from Gujia's body. The dazzling light instantly illuminated the entire street, and also made the bald stall owner feel unprecedented pain.
"Ahh——" His hand that was reaching for the pot lid froze and he let out a cry of pain.
This pain didn't last long. Gu Jia took the initiative to disperse the light on his body and asked, "You want to protect this street, right?"
"Yes, this is my home...but in two months the bulldozers will go into the mountains, and I won't even be able to stay in this last familiar place." The bald stall owner said sadly.
"哐哐~"
The lid of the small pot next to him moved, and a mass of sticky darkness pushed open the lid and poked out from the pot. It made a childlike voice, comforting the bald stall owner: "Don't be sad, with the two of us here, we will never let those hateful developers succeed!"
"If we create more panic, those developers will definitely stop."
"It's unlikely." Gu Jia shook his head.
"The location of the back hill is excellent. Once the health center is built, the developers will have plenty of ways to dispel urban legends."
"It has developed to this point. It is basically impossible to stop development by simply intimidating humans."
"You mean... we have to kill people?" The bald stall owner looked extremely conflicted.
"The only way to hold on to this place is to make things bigger."
"Of course I'm not encouraging you to do this." Gu Jia interrupted quickly.
"I mean, we need to find another way."
"For example, instead of creating urban legends to scare ordinary people, they directly scare the developer himself."
"Or a higher level of government taking action against those with great power."
"For ordinary people, the change of a place means a dramatic change in their hometown, but for those in power, it may just be a dispensable document."
"Anyone who is human will be afraid. You are monsters, so you should use your strengths to your advantage."
"Is that so..." The bald stall owner nodded, feeling as if he had suddenly understood something.
"I really hadn't thought about this before. I just wanted to carry out activities in this area of the street..."
"Wait, who are you? Why are you helping us?" The bald stall owner looked at the young man in front of him in confusion.
"Just an Ultraman passing by." Guga explained with a smile.
"Also, I don't know if you recognize this thing..." As he said that, Gu Jia took out the samurai sword that Jing Tian Jinglong gave him from his storage space.
Ever since I met the bald stall owner, I have always felt a throbbing in my heart.
Gu Jia originally thought that this was the demon-slaying warrior urging him to fulfill his promise and kill the monster in front of him as soon as possible.
But after feeling it carefully, he found that what was emanating from the knife was not murderous intent, but a gentle fluctuation, just like meeting an old friend.
"Is this the weapon that Jingtian Jinglong used back then?" The bald stall owner recognized what was in Gu Jia's hand at a glance.
"Do you know him?" Gu Jia asked curiously.
The bald stall owner across the street explained, "That guy came to Hikino Street before. He said he sensed the demonic energy here and wanted to kill me and the Tanuki Monk."
Gu Jia continued to ask: "What happened next?"
The bald stall owner continued, "Then he said we were harmless to humans, that monsters were also living creatures on this land and had their own reasons to survive. As long as we promised not to hurt anyone in the future, he would let us go."
“So I survived…”
"I just broke the promise I made. In order to protect this street, I hurt ordinary people..." The bald stall owner felt more and more ashamed as he spoke.
"How exactly did the damage happen?" Gu Jia asked again.
After seeing Jing Tian Jing Long's knife, the bald stall owner completely let down his guard against the young man in front of him: "Guo Zi and I will scare him unconscious first, then dye his hair white, making him look like he has aged dozens of years overnight, as if 'Obi Ke' has devoured his life. That sounds terrifying..."
Gu Jia: “…”
This kind of thing can still be forgiven. As long as no one is hurt, it can be considered a relatively bad prank.
"Wait until the matter of Hikino Street is completely resolved before you go and apologize to those ordinary people you scared."
"Also, I'll stay in Hikino Street for the next few days, and I'll work with you to stop those developers."
"I am the descendant of Jingtian Jinglong. Thank you so much!" The bald stall owner obviously misunderstood something and bowed.
Gu Jia was too lazy to explain. He simply helped him up and then reached out to tease the dark life inside the pot: "What kind of existence is this pot?"
"When I'm with you, it's like I'm a talking pet."
Bald stall owner: "He is my shadow. I don't know how to make you understand."
The shadow in the pot once again uttered a childish voice: "I like it. Let's protect Hikino Street together!"
Bald stall owner: "It's saying it likes you."
"It changed so quickly. If I hadn't offered to help just now, you would have swallowed it by now, right?" Gu Jia poked the black stuff in the pot twice.
The shadow in the pot responded: "It's delicious. I love it."
After the negotiation, Gu Jia glanced at the still steaming soup pot and said, "Let's have another bowl of noodles. I wasn't full just now."
……
That night.
In the hotel, Gu Jia told the old lady about his plan to stay in Hikino Street for the time being.
"Is it related to that bald guy?" the old lady asked curiously.
"Yes, we may have to go against the Japanese government." Gu Jia did not hide it.
Grandma supported this: "It's up to you to think it through. The Japanese government is rarely right."
Chapter 234 Never had a good life!
During the few days he stayed in Yanye Street, Gu Jia originally lived in a hotel, but in the end he could not resist the kind invitation of the bald stall owner (Master Ayan) and moved to the back mountain.
The entire back mountain of Yanye Street is left with only a few dilapidated buildings and a small temple where few people worship.
There was an old monk wearing glasses in the temple. He could sense a clear demonic aura from this guy, so Gu Jia guessed that this guy was the civet cat monk mentioned by the bald stall owner.
"Do you usually live here?"
Gu Jia took a look at the simple bedroom in the temple and asked curiously.
The civet cat monk, twisting his Buddhist beads in his hand, explained, "I usually live in the temple. Master Ayan sometimes comes to play with me, but most of the time he just finds a place to lie down on the back mountain."
"He was always afraid that when he woke up, the mountain behind him would no longer be there."
"There are no electrical appliances here, so the conditions are a bit simple, don't mind."
The lack of electrical appliances means that life here is similar to that of people in ancient times, with too many inconveniences.
"Why don't you use the wire?"
Civet cat monk: "We like darkness."
Gu Jia didn't dare to imagine what it would be like to live there for years or even decades: "What kind of entertainment do you usually have?"
Civet Cat Monk: "Usually I'm meditating and worshipping Buddha. Master Ayan... I guess he's chatting with Guozi. They always have endless things to talk about every day."
Gujia found it difficult to understand this lifestyle, but respected it.
However, he couldn't get used to it, so that night he brought up a generator, a TV and a game console from the foot of the mountain.
Gu Jia: "The generator is a bit loud, I'll try to put it as far away as possible. Also, I'll put the TV and game console in this bedroom so they don't disturb you."
Civet cat monk: "Okay."
That night.
Gu Jia, who was watching TV, found that the raccoon monk and the bald stall owner had entered his room and were staring at the moving pictures on TV with extreme concentration.
"Don't you two dislike being in the light?" Gu Jia felt that this scene was a bit funny.
Master Ayan pointed at the TV in surprise: "But this box is so interesting, the person inside can move."
Civet Cat Monk: "Praying to Buddha can get boring sometimes..."
Gu Jia: “…”
He realized that it was not that these two guys could not stand the darkness and boredom, but that they had always lived this way and had never seen anything good.
I guess after a few days when I take the TV away, these two people will not be able to return to their previous lives.
"Someone is coming." The shadow in the pot poked its head out and reported loudly.
“At the foot of the mountain, several people wanted to go up the mountain.”
"I'll go take a look." The bald stall owner stood up and looked at the TV screen reluctantly: "I'll be back. Can I still watch it?"
"Of course." Gu Jia was really afraid that this guy would give up the back mountain for the TV, so he told a little lie.
"Let's go together."
……
The back hill of Yanye Street.
In the dense forest, Dagu and Xincheng walked at the front of the team, holding flashlights.
After waving his hand to push away a branch that was blocking the way, the branch bounced back and hit Xincheng in the face like a whip.
With a "pop", Xincheng screamed in pain, "Ouch!"
"Are there really monsters in this ghost place? Even ghosts wouldn't want to come up to this deep mountain and forest!" Xincheng said unhappily.
"This place is in a good location. Don't you see the development zone below? In a few years, with your salary, you won't be able to move into this place." Team member Horii, who was following behind, told the truth.
After saying that, Team Horii muttered to himself, "Speaking of which, could the Victory Team's benefits be improved a bit? We're on the front lines fighting monsters, and our pay isn't even close to what we're putting in."
Xincheng: "We joined the Victory Team not for the salary, but to contribute to the peace of the world!"
"Look at you, you have no ambition!"
"Don't I want to live?" Team member Horii retorted.
"Okay, if you keep talking the monster will take both of you away." Lina felt helpless as she looked at the two people who quarreled every day.
"Hey, there seems to be someone in front!" Dagu, who was walking at the front of the team, suddenly raised his flashlight.
The light passed through the dense forest and through the layers of trees, and actually illuminated a small human figure.
This discovery made everyone on the Victory Team gasp in surprise.
"Why would a child go up the mountain in the middle of the night? If this isn't a ghost, then what is it..." Xincheng nervously reached for the Victory HEPA rifle at his waist.
The moment my fingers touch the cold grip, I feel a sense of security.
Sure enough, all the fear came from insufficient firepower.
"Be ready to attack at any time." He held the gun in one hand and the flashlight in the other, and walked slowly towards the figure.
At the same time, in order to confirm whether the other party was human, he shouted: "Hey, kid, what are you doing up the mountain in the middle of the night?!"
"Come and play." The small figure that appeared on the hillside really answered his question.
The moment they heard this voice, everyone present felt a sense of familiarity.
Daiko and Horii immediately put away their guns, with speechless expressions on their faces.
Team member Horii: "This guy shows up again."
"It's like he's been waiting for us here on purpose." Dagu said in a low voice.
Afterwards, the members of the Victory Team, who had a false alarm, met with Gu Jia.
"Wow, why are you going up the mountain in the middle of the night? Who are you trying to scare to death?" Xincheng looked at the child speechlessly.
He had been unhappy with the kid before, and now he was even more unhappy.
"Wait, don't you live in Hamamatsucho? Why are you running so far?" Lina discovered something unusual.
Gujia explained: "My grandmother and I are traveling and we are here to have fun in the mountains."
Xincheng was speechless: "You are quite brave, little guy. There are monsters on the mountain. Do you know how dangerous it is?"
"Find someone to take him down the mountain."
"Lina, can you do it?" Xincheng asked.
