My countryman becomes Ultraman, I eat the soft rice of the middleman

"Hey, hello everyone! I didn't expect we'd meet again so soon."

Loki greeted in a lighthearted tone.

"Loki-san, can you be more normal next time you appear on stage and not be so gloomy?"

Lina patted her plump chest. It was obvious that she, like Xincheng, was frightened by Loki's appearance.

Zong Fang complained: "The storyteller Loki, I'm afraid he is not telling ghost stories, otherwise why would his appearance be so ghostly!"

"Haha...you guessed it right. I came here today just to tell you ghost stories."

Rocky showed a characteristic sense of relaxation.

"..."

If you answer like this, can we continue chatting?

At this time, the lights returned to normal.

The eerie and depressing atmosphere finally dissipated.

Loki walked up to Xincheng, patted his shoulder, and said kindly: "Are you okay?"

"No...it's okay."

Xincheng shuddered and tried to keep himself calm.

Master, stay away from me, I will be better.

I'm scared when you're in front of me!

Loki smiled playfully and did not continue teasing Xincheng, but walked towards an empty seat.

"Well, Loki, you said you came here to tell us ghost stories. What do you mean by that?"

Iruma Kei coughed dryly and began to question Loki.

Loki did not dare to neglect or keep Hui Iruma in suspense, and directly stated his purpose.

"Obik, how much do you know about the rumors about Obik?"

"Obik?"

Lina was puzzled when she heard this and turned to look at the other team members.

"Obik is a legendary ghost, said to live in darkness!"

Horii knew something about this and directly introduced: "My grandmother always told me that when Obike appears, you must never look back."

"Why?" others asked curiously.

"Because they will be eaten!" Horii replied.

“Will he be eaten?”

Shinjo and Lina, who were afraid of ghosts, immediately exclaimed when they heard this.

Xincheng's voice trembled: "Did you know that someone was actually eaten?"

Following this trend, the Victory Team will definitely launch relevant investigations next.

If possible, he really wants to take a leave.

"I have also found some information here. The rumors about Obike are very popular in the area around Yanye Street, and they have been spreading as early as two and a half months ago."

Ye Rui immediately projected the content of a small forum onto the big screen.

The posts on the screen are all discussions about Obik.

"Two and a half months ago? Why didn't anyone report it?!"

Zongfang frowned, looking very unhappy.

There are ghosts and monsters that have been clearly recorded in folk tales, such as the mythical beast Kakuma, which was previously promoted as a mascot, or the Sukuna demon.

Victory teams are highly valued.

But this time, there was no report for more than two months, which was obviously the result of negligence on the part of the intelligence department.

"In fact, there are not many witnesses every day. Many people suspect that this is fake or a gimmick created to hype up the supernatural show."

"So far, there really hasn't been any bad incidents, so there's no special attention."

Ye Rui stated the situation objectively.

"Is this so..."

Zongfang suddenly realized that this was indeed not the intelligence department's fault.

"So, what do you think of Obik?"

Iruma Kei asks Loki for advice.

Loki did not answer directly, but explained: "Obik's goal is to spread rumors so that people will remember him again. He hopes that the night of the city will return to darkness and the village from long ago will reappear."

Everyone present quickly understood what Loki meant.

This incident seems to be closely related to the development of modern civilization.

Although, it is not clear what era or scene it was 'once upon a time'.

But obviously, the villages of that era are gone forever.

After enjoying the convenience brought by the city, most people may miss the tranquility and simplicity of rural life.

But we will never be willing to give up the existing achievements of civilization and go back to the days when we walked alone on muddy roads without lights.

"Is Obik going to have a big move soon?"

Iruma Hui is more concerned about this aspect.

"We will take action in the next few days."

Loki gave a vague answer.

In the information given by Boss Link, it was mentioned that whenever the construction of the theme park began in the Hikino Street area, Obik would appear to cause trouble.

The next construction of the park will start in the next few days.

"So what should we do?"

Megumi Iruma is still trying to find a solution from Loki, or rather, from Link.

After all, the Marvel man in front of him is Link's subordinate and in a sense Link's representative.

"Everything depends on your own efforts."

Loki shook his head and did not offer any solution.

Because this was also Link's instruction, not to help the Victory Team too much.

"I have finished my story. Goodbye, everyone."

Loki glanced at Shinjo and a mischievous look appeared on his face.

Being stared at by Loki like this, Xincheng got goosebumps all over his body and an ominous premonition surged in his heart.

Loki chuckled, and then a magic circle appeared under his feet and quickly disappeared.

Xincheng felt mixed emotions. Thinking about the search operation that would take place at night, his legs began to tremble involuntarily.

There's nothing he can do, he's too afraid of ghosts!

As expected, Shinjo guessed correctly. After Loki left, Iruma Kei immediately issued a search mission.

……

at the same time.

Kashiwamura Reiko Apartment.

From the bedroom on the second floor, bursts of screams were heard.

Fortunately, the apartment has good sound insulation, otherwise the neighbors nearby would have been alarmed.

The bedroom finally returned to silence after a long, excited moan.

Link opened the bedroom door and let out a long sigh of relief.

"Reiko, I'm leaving."

Turning his head to take a look at the completely destroyed "masterpiece" behind him, Link left with a satisfied look on his face.

……

Coming out of Kashiwamura Reiko's house.

Link stretched and felt very happy.

He decided to have soba noodles for dinner tonight.

After all, I just had meat, and the big peaches were a bit greasy, so I needed to eat something light.

"Well, let's go to Hikino Street and try Obike's cooking."

Thinking of this, Link walked towards Hikino Street.

……

As night fell, the desolate riverside was overgrown with weeds and utterly silent.

In this place far away from the town and with few people, there is actually a soba noodle stall.

The boss Obike, dressed in white clothes and a white hat, was busy at this time.

Opposite him sat a young diner, making the scene seem particularly harmonious.

Link pulled aside the curtain and stepped into this slightly strange stall. He glanced at the young diners who were having a meal with surprise in his eyes.

This young man with a middle-parted hair is really brave. How dare he have a midnight snack in a place like this in the middle of the night?

"Guest, what would you like to eat? I only have soba noodles here."

When Obik saw the new guest, he frowned slightly, but he quickly returned to normal and greeted him warmly.

Link didn't hesitate and said directly: "Then let's have a bowl of soba noodles!"

After saying that, he found a place to sit down, took out a book from his pocket, and began to read attentively.

Seeing this, Obike did not interrupt and quickly got back to work.

The water in the pot boils and white steam rises.

He skillfully scooped the noodles into a bowl, and then added noodle soup, greens, cucumber shreds, side dishes, sesame seeds, seaweed and half an egg.

Just like that, a bowl of delicious buckwheat noodles was soon served in front of Link.
