Under the bright sunshine, Dagu, a staff member of the Tourism Department, was leading a group of foreigners walking on the street. He introduced the history and allusions of each scenic spot in detail, and stayed at each scenic spot for varying amounts of time, allowing these people to take pictures to their heart's content. The locals have long been accustomed to the beautiful scenery and even seen enough, and then take it to the next place.
This is by no means an easy job. Not only do you have to skillfully explain the allusions, humanities, and history of each scenic spot, but you also have to answer all kinds of strange questions from tourists. This requires that the tour guide not only has a strong language skills, but also is smart enough, and even It's humorous and cannot be read in a rigid manner.
Although Dagu has been working for several years and has long since left the queue of novices, if a large number of foreigners, speaking English with different accents, different sentence patterns, and different grammars, all come to ask questions, it will still make him numb. It’s not easy just to understand them, but you also have to answer them one by one and smile the whole time.
Every time after leading a tour, Dagu would be sweating all over, and he was even more exhausted mentally than physically. He would fall asleep immediately when he lay down at night, but when he woke up the next day and faced new tourists, he would have to cover up. Feeling tired, he showed the most enthusiastic smile and continued to talk about the copywriting that he had said hundreds of times and visited the scenic spots he had seen hundreds of times.
Dagu feels that his life should be like this in the future. Today he will repeat yesterday, and tomorrow he will repeat today. If he is lucky, he may get a promotion, but most likely he will continue to do things that he is interested in until he retires.
Until today...
"Good bye!" He said goodbye with a heavy accent, waving his arms, with a bit of reluctance on his face. Dagu put today's tourists on the bus and handed them over to other colleagues to take them to the hotel. Today's work is over.
Maintaining this posture until the bus left the field of vision and merged into the traffic, Dagu's face slumped, showing deep fatigue. He felt that the muscles on his smiling face were stiff, and he felt relieved. In one breath, he dragged his legs to the bench next to him.
Sitting on the chair in the most comfortable posture, he looked up at the dusk sky with an empty mind, but the 'phantom' he saw in the elevator mirror two days ago came to mind involuntarily. He sent Lina home that day. Later, I dug out the video tape of "Ultra Q". In Chapter 18, I saw almost the same scene as in the fantasy, as well as the monster named Bugs.
Although he found the source of the illusion that day, Dagu's mood did not relax because of this, but became even heavier, because after watching "Ultra Q", he searched for "Frequently Made" on the Internet Nightmares, hallucinations'.
The result was not good, which made Da Gu unconsciously 'check the box'. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that he was in a state of mental illness. After all, it was normal to dream about the content of the movie he had watched, but in broad daylight and when he was conscious , it’s not normal to see ‘video content’ in the mirror.
"Is the work pressure too great?" Dagu thought, and the news about sudden death due to overtime work emerged in his mind. He suddenly felt that he should relax a little and not work too hard, but thinking about being in the city Housing prices in Yokohama are so high, I still commute to get off work by bicycle, and...
The pressure of life is so great, and the pressure of the future is even greater. Ordinary people in urban areas can only risk their lives, and there is no room for relaxation.
While Da Gu was thinking divergently, a light suddenly appeared on the horizon, twinkling like a star. Da Gu was startled: "Do stars appear so early now?"
Since this area was included in the metropolitan area, the fishing villages have been bulldozed, and high-rise buildings, roads, railways, and bridges have been built in their place. The colorful neon lights in the city have obscured the starlight in the night sky. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen the stars in the sky.
Just when I thought of this, I heard an old name from behind: "This is a symbol of friendship between the cosmonauts and the earthlings from the M78 nebula. Its name is..."
Then another familiar voice sounded: "Ultra Star."
This made Dagu quickly turn his head. There was no high-rise building behind him, but a large warehouse and a three-story low building. The smooth roads and sidewalks paved with tiles were also replaced by bumpy dirt, and where he was, there was actually It's not a coastal highway tourist spot, but a very old and large yard.
But what frightened Dagu the most were the two people standing in the yard. One was a white-haired old man. After thinking about it for a while, he realized that this person was Director Eiji whom he had always respected, but the person standing opposite Director Eiji was so... Dagu's eyes widened in shock.
That familiar face that you can see in the mirror every day is...himself. How is it possible? If that is him, then who is he?
In Dagu's extremely shocked eyes, the man who looked exactly like him looked up at him, which made Dagu's heart tremble. The distance was so close that he could even see the other person's cufflinks clearly. But the man seemed to have not seen him, and said to himself: "Ultra Star, I saw its light."
Then Dagu saw an even more shocking scene. The red gem that he touched with his fingertips instantly emitted a bright red light like an electrified incandescent lamp.
The light was so dazzling that Dagu couldn't help but raise his arm to block his eyes. But as soon as he raised his arm, he saw another 'self' in the light, as if his original shape had appeared, changing into something else.
That look was too familiar to him. It was the Ultraman he had seen since he was a child. However, in addition to red and silver, his body also had purple, and his face was different from any Ultraman he had seen.
He turned into Ultraman in the light?
Such an incredible scene made Dagu stunned. He tried hard to open his eyes, trying to see clearly. But he just endured the strong light and opened his eyes wide. A thick, ink-like mist suddenly appeared in front of him, blocking it. The strong light allowed Dagu to open his eyes wide. Through this layer of fog that seemed thin but was actually thick, he could vaguely see a figure inside.
"What is this?" Deep doubts appeared in Dagu's mind, and then he saw the black figure crashing towards him at an extremely fast speed. Dagu was startled, and his body involuntarily retreated. He tripped over something, causing Dagu to lose his balance and fall to the ground.
The moment the back touched the ground, along with the pain, there was also the voice of 'own' that was transmitted to the brain: Nagano? Actually my name is Chiba..."
ps: I have encountered some minor problems in the past two days and will solve them as soon as possible.
