The moon is out.
The originally noisy streets were now deserted. Under the eaves, swaying lanterns gave off a dim glow. Suddenly, dead leaves fell, and a silent wind blew across the cold road.
The fireworks have ended, and three people are standing on the empty street under the cold moonlight.
Nobita and Shizuka had already changed into their usual clothes and carried their luggage behind them.
"Are you...really a member of the demon-hunting team that Shixiong mentioned?"
Suddenly, a questioning and helpless voice came from among the three people.
"Well... of course! Also, let me correct you, it's the Special Operations Team, codename: Demon Hunters." Mu Sakurai was holding three skewers of teppanyaki at this time, stuffing his small mouth full, and his words were a bit slurred. Unclear. "By the way... Well, hey, hey, hey... I'll tell you quietly, I'm their boss! Ha, am I awesome?"
Those clerks and bosses who had not had time to escape were taken advantage of by the monster and fell into a nightmare that they have not yet woken up from. But fortunately, the nightmares are not very deep, so they are almost harmless. After expelling the nightmares, there is basically no problem.
Because it had been left on the plate for too long, the squid was already a little cold, but Sakurai Mu didn't mind at all. She skillfully added some seasonings and then picked it up and ate it. Nobita and Shizuka stood aside, watching her eat even her mouth. They didn't stop and couldn't help but be dumbfounded.
"Hmm... it's so delicious. I've never eaten squid with this kind of taste. Oh my god, the food of the 20th century was so great!"
"Uh... well, I want to ask," Nobita and Shizuka looked at each other, then tentatively asked Sakurai Mu, "Have you brought any money?"
"What?" Sakurai Mu was suddenly startled, and then her mouth full of ketchup that was constantly chewing slowly stopped. Then, she slightly raised the corners of her mouth, pushed her bulging cheeks up, and her eyes also curved. He smiled like a crescent moon, as if he had remembered something, and smiled awkwardly but politely: "I guess... you can pay with virtual currency here, right?"
"What do you think?" Nobita looked at her with squinted eyes, breathing slightly heavier as he spoke, and then crossed his arms, looking like "you can still eat so deliciously without money", while Shizuka stood quietly behind Nobita , the toes gently kicked Nobita's heels intentionally or unintentionally, smiling without saying a word.
Nobita might not even frown after eating one or two skewers of squid, but this girl has almost eaten all over the street. Nobita and Shizuka have been silently following behind to pay since just now, and now they can feel it all over their bodies. He said he was so poor that he didn't even have enough money to take the bus back.
"Ah...I'm sorry! I'm very sorry, I was so hungry just now..." After Mu Sakurai realized that his behavior just now was very rude, he immediately swallowed the food in his mouth, then quickly put down the squid and clasped his hands together , saying sorry while bowing repeatedly.
"Ahem, forget it, these are just trivial matters..." Nobita waved his hands hurriedly upon seeing this, and then sighed helplessly, "You should also understand that we really want to know what happened to those monsters now. What happened, and what happened in the 22nd century, you should be able to tell us now, right?"
"Well...actually, I don't know exactly what happened..." Sakurai Mu thought for a while and said, "I just joined the team not long ago, and after training for less than two months, I was suddenly arranged to go to the 20th century. They said they were on a top-secret mission, and the other three guys were the same as me."
"Sorry... interrupt, because I really care... Is that monster just now really dead?" Shizuka suddenly poked her head out of Nobita's shoulder, and then asked.
It's no wonder that just now she and Nobita have witnessed the monster's super self-healing ability, and it can even be said to be immortal. Even if it is now rotten into a puddle of flesh, it is inevitable that people will not worry about it. Come back to life again.
"Hmm, don't worry about this. When the evolved body absorbs negative emotions at the second level, it will expose the [core]. As long as the core is destroyed accurately at that time, it will definitely die."
"The evolved body's second level... core?" After hearing this, Nobita looked at Shizuka with a confused look on his face, "What is that?"
"Huh?" Mu Sakurai seemed a little reluctant to part with the unfinished bunch of squid, so he couldn't help but pick it up and take a small bite.
"Didn't that Shixiong guy tell you?" Mu Sakurai chewed and swallowed the squid in his mouth as quickly as possible, and then asked in a confused tone.
"How should I put it... At that time, he happened to talk about the relevant information about the evolved body level, but before he could finish talking, the time TV suddenly cut off the signal..." Nobita recalled.
"The signal was suddenly interrupted...?" After Sakurai Mu repeated this sentence to himself, he suddenly frowned slowly, and at the same time, a look of worry appeared in his light blue pupils.
"It should be that the machine is aging, or it was..."
Sakurai Mu hesitated, Nobita looked at her, not knowing what she wanted to say.
"Actually, I didn't expect that there would be a second-level one here," Mu Sakurai slowly put down the squid in his hand, and then changed the topic, "Although this one has just broken through and its basic strength is very weak, if you continue to If they didn't know their weaknesses, it would have been very dangerous just now, and it would very likely lead to an irreversible situation."
As she spoke, Sakurai Mu's eyes began to become serious. She wiped the ketchup from the corner of her mouth with a tissue, and then directly reached out to hold the light blade that had been hanging behind her.
"There are indeed traces of nightmare activity here, but they are very smart. They only absorb negative emotions regularly within a specific period of time, and never erode deeply, do not attack the same person repeatedly, and try not to cause trouble. Those who have been attacked People won't know what happened, and they won't feel any discomfort." Sakurai Mu carefully analyzed, "Although it seems that the victims just absorbed some negative emotions and did not cause any casualties, it is precisely because In this way, we cannot accurately know the movements of nightmares, and as long as they are allowed to survive the development period safely, the consequences will be disastrous."
Nobita and Shizuka listened carefully, but soon Nobita raised a question.
"That's not right. Didn't my husband say before... that there have been frequent alarm records in Yingxu Mountain in the past few days?"
However, as soon as he finished speaking, he and Shizuka looked at each other. The next second, the two of them seemed to suddenly think of something, and immediately said in unison: "Is this a trap?!"
"But...if that's the case, how do they know that we will check the alarm records? Or, they didn't do anything deliberately at all. They just speculated that we would most likely go to Yingxu Mountain. Because it is so far away from here. Our place is far away, so you don’t have to worry about being disturbed by us, and there is an endless stream of tourists every day, so it is an excellent choice for a growth location.” Nobita analyzed, “We can definitely think of places they think they can think of, so we can definitely think of them. Staying here is not a long-term solution. And as they are exposed to different visitors, they will acquire a lot of different memories, and the optimal place for development will definitely change accordingly."
After the analysis, Nobita couldn't help but sigh: "If it is true as I said, then their caution and intelligence are simply beyond my imagination."
"But...why would there be monsters attacking us on the train?" Shizuka thought for a while, "If it wasn't to prevent us from going to Yingxu Mountain..."
"Yes, just to kill you." Sakurai Mu said bluntly, his words were sharp and harsh.
"Indeed, if it hadn't been for that thing at that time, maybe we would have..."
Suddenly, at this moment, Nobita paused. He seemed to think of something while talking to himself just now.
The next second, he immediately looked at his arm, thinking that Sakurai Mu might know what it was.
However, before he could speak, Sakurai Mu suddenly said: "It's getting late, we have to go back to discuss and formulate a plan. I have confirmed that the nightmare group is no longer around here, and it seems that there has been a new move. Although I don’t know why the second level is left alone here..."
"Well... let's talk about it when we go back." For some reason, after thinking of the white thing just now, Nobita felt that he had forgotten something. Whenever he thought of the three words Sakurai Mu, he always felt something strange. The feeling that things are unfinished.
After thinking about it, he subconsciously looked at Jingxiang. Jingxiang noticed her gaze and turned to look at him. After the two looked at each other silently for a few seconds, their cheeks became inexplicably hot again.
"..."
Sakurai Mu couldn't help but be stunned when she saw this, but soon she reacted and looked at the young Nobita and Shizuka. Just when she was about to say something with a bad smile, she suddenly noticed someone not far away. Come along.
She couldn't help frowning when she saw this, looking at the figure not far away with confusion, wondering why anyone dared to come here?
However, as the man got closer, Nobita and Shizuka also noticed it.
It's Dekisugi.
