Summer mornings always come earlier, beams of light reflect the mountains covered in green clothes, a few white clouds float in the blue sky, birds fly happily under the clouds, and the quiet streets The alley gradually filled with busy pedestrians and passing vehicles.
Office workers were hurrying on their way, and children were jumping to school with their schoolbags on their backs. Only Chiba Makoto, who had completed his morning exercise, was running leisurely on the not-so-wide road, and was in harmony with the hurried people around him. Pedestrians, a sharp contrast.
While running, he greeted the residents of the town easily. Over the course of a few months, the residents of the town got used to this strange neighbor, smiling politely, bowing, and saying "Good morning".
But behind the scenes, the children were still told not to imitate Chiba Makoto and not go to work or school. Instead, they would run around on the road all day. It is said that some people saw this young man hitting wooden stakes in the woods on the mountain. It's really weird.
Many mothers in the town will tell their children: "Good children cannot learn from weirdos like that!"
As the words were passed around, Chiba Cheng felt like he was almost becoming a ghost story in the city.
When I ran to the door of my house, I met my neighbor Ikuta Katsuma, who was carrying a briefcase and wearing glasses. He was walking out of the house, with his head lowered and his body slightly shrunken. He moved his steps with a low expression and muttered: " Yesterday Tomoko fell in love with another package and wanted to take on more work, but this way I have no time to spend with her, what should I do?"
Chiba Makoto felt that every time he met him, this guy looked troubled. Nine times out of ten, it was because his beautiful girlfriend, Ikuta Komo, who had an ordinary appearance and a not-so-high income, was able to pursue such a beautiful girlfriend. A beautiful girlfriend who really has her own way.
"Good morning, Mr. Ikuta!"
Chiba Makoto's sudden greeting startled Ikuta Katsuma who was thinking about how to buy her girlfriend a bag she liked. He looked up and saw that it was Chiba Makoto. He quickly changed the distress on his face into a smile and said: " Good morning, Chiba-kun."
After a simple greeting, the two of them went about their own business. The pressure of life made people almost breathless, and there was really no time to stop and look at the scenery around them.
By the time Chiba Cheng ran home, the sun was already high in the sky. He simply rinsed off the sweat on his body, changed his clothes, and started preparing breakfast.
The five kilometers in the morning and evening is already a very simple task for Chiba Makoto, who is much stronger. He can complete it quickly. The rest of the time is mostly spent practicing body movements and movements with hanging wooden blocks in the woods. Use wooden stakes to practice boxing, and use bamboo swords to learn the swordsmanship left by Ida and Jingryu. There are so many skills that it is not overwhelming.
Chiba Makoto, who had just cooked breakfast and was walking towards the restaurant with a plate, paused. He subconsciously turned his head and looked to the northwest. He saw the soil churning, and a sharp corner suddenly emerged from the grass, surrounded by roller coasters, Ferris wheels and other amusement rides. facility...
"Another monster has appeared. Is this Gadi?" Chiba Cheng calmly placed the dinner plate on the table and slowly put it into his mouth. Isn't it a monster? What's there to make a fuss about? Let’s talk after eating.
I put on my camera, put on my backpack, got on my motorcycle, and headed towards the amusement park in area D. After experiencing many traffic jams that are common in big cities, I finally arrived at the amusement park where Gadi was sleeping at noon.
Parked the motorcycle in the parking lot, bought a ticket and entered the park. Looking at the dazzling amusement facilities, Chiba Makoto was quite envious: "After fighting monsters this time, I must come to the amusement park to play."
It’s been a long time since I’ve been to an amusement park. It’s been a long time since I’ve come here. It’s so sad that I can’t just play a fun game, but have to look for the place where the monster sleeps.
Finding monsters is actually not difficult. The last Ligardron incident made Chiba Makoto feel that his ability to predict monsters was increasing.
Just like now, standing in the noisy amusement park, holding his breath and concentrating, there was a vague indescribable feeling, telling him the abnormal direction.
Just go with your feelings.
After passing through various fun-looking amusement projects, when I was about to reach the Ferris wheel, I suddenly heard a burst of laughter like silver bells. I turned around and saw Mayumi in white clothes facing the girl who was huddled on the chair. Xincheng started to 'laugh', and the victorious team members were actually afraid of ghosts, while Xincheng argued loudly, trying to maintain his dignity as an older brother.
Looking at Mayumi who was smiling happily and as happy as an elf, what Chiba Makoto thought of was the sadness of her crying in her brother's arms.
The accidental death of her lover Takumo was a huge blow to the outgoing and cheerful Mayumi. Until the Dyna period more than ten years later, she could not forget Takumo.
The innocent little girl who loved to laugh rarely smiled since then. She also had a lot of thoughts about the meaning of life and became mature. This is probably growth, but the price is a bit too high.
But Mayumi is not the only one who lost loved ones due to monsters. Akita's Golzan attack on the city alone resulted in the death of thousands of people. In addition, a few days ago, TPC officially announced the three astronauts who heroically dedicated their lives to the development of the universe. member.
In the future, more people will lose their precious lives due to alien invasions and monster attacks. Their relatives will also experience extreme grief and sorrow, and it will take a long time to get over the loss of their loved ones. Grief.
This is an era of great changes. Everyone is not immune and will be involved, including Chiba Makoto himself. He starts exercising as soon as he opens his eyes every day. The bruises on his body never break, and he practices until he is exhausted and exhausted. Then he would go home to rest, and when he woke up the next day, he would continue to exercise, over and over again, repeat, repeat and repeat.
Many times, when he was lying on the ground so exhausted, he wondered why he had to fight monsters, just because of the magic rod?
He wanted to play in the amusement park and lie in an air-conditioned room and sleep until he woke up naturally, instead of running five kilometers, panting heavily and struggling with wood, leaving himself bruised and bruised, and then going back alone to apply medicine in silence.
He is just an ordinary person. He has average grades since he was a child. He has no special skills and is inconspicuous at all. He will be forgotten by his classmates after graduation. This body, Chiba Makoto, is also an ordinary person. His grades were so bad that he needed to spend a lot of money to go to college, so he gave up.
Why does he, who is so ordinary, have to carry such a heavy burden? Can he afford it?
Tired, really tired, not only from physical exhaustion when exercising, but also from mental pressure.
While fighting the monsters, he could clearly hear and even see the desperate cries of people who were still alive under the rubble and Hesidian's cry for help. How they wanted someone to rescue them, their relatives. How I hope someone can help them.
But Chiba Makoto could only pretend not to hear, and tried to focus on the monster. He only had three minutes to live, and he had already used all his strength just to defeat the monster. In the end, he had exhausted all his strength and energy. I can only say 'I'm sorry' in my heart.
After the war, Chiba Makoto would turn off his computer and TV for a period of time and not pay attention to the news. He would use the ostrich method to prevent himself from seeing the casualty figures and the grief-stricken looks of reporters interviewing those who had lost their loved ones.
Every number makes Chiba Cheng seem to be seeing those dead people and asking why they were not saved? The heavy guilt made him feel breathless.
You can only train yourself desperately to make yourself stronger, defeat monsters faster, and hurt fewer people. Only by exhausting all your strength and letting yourself fall asleep with exhaustion can you stop thinking about those things that have passed away. people.
Ultraman's power is a heavy and painful responsibility. When he once lived in a world without monsters and aliens, he also dreamed of possessing powerful power and becoming a heroic Ultraman. But when his dream came true, Chiba Cheng, Li Tian, an ordinary person who just wants to return to the original world.
People inside the wall want to come out, and people outside the wall want to get in.
