Chapter 20 Invisible Monsters?
Yuya really didn’t have much hope.
I just asked casually, but I seemed to get unexpected feedback?
I asked many residents before, but none of them said this.
"Neighing?"
"Yes, it's that kind of unpleasant sound, like something from a horror movie shouting." The waiter said seriously.
Yuya: "..."
This metaphor is so vivid that I feel uncomfortable just thinking about it.
But he still asked: "When did you hear it?"
The little brother thought about it for a moment, and then said: "The day I first came here to work, it seemed... four days ago, right?"
It actually matched the time on the day the power outage started!
Yuya was stunned and quickly asked: "What happened after that? Did you hear anything else?"
"No more." The little brother spread his hands and said, "It was night at that time, maybe I was hallucinating because I drank too much."
"Okay, then may I ask where exactly you heard it?" Yuya regretted for a moment and then continued to ask.
The little brother paused for a moment, and then said: "Speaking of which, the last time I met you in the university district, you seemed to be asking about something strange?"
Yuya: "...Because I am a reporter. You see, I am...a reporter for a supernatural magazine."
As he spoke, he also displayed the camera hanging around his neck as decoration and the data detector disguised as a notebook.
"Supernatural magazines..." The waiter raised his eyebrows, then moved closer to him and said softly: "In that case, I think you can go to the old town over there and have a look."
Yu also looked where the little brother was pointing, but saw nothing except a steel forest. He then heard the little brother continue: "It is said that this area was a forest a few decades ago, and it was built later when it developed."
It starts from the commercial district, but in terms of age, the old city behind it is older. You might find something if you go there and ask."
This sense of déjà vu was like that of an RPG role-playing game, which made Yuya confused for a moment.
"Um, that's where you heard the sound too?" he asked, stunned.
"Yeah." The little brother nodded seriously, "Go!"
...
Although he always felt like he was being cheated, Yuya thought about it and came to the old city to investigate.
Area C is still far away from **, and it will probably take a while for Chiba Xing to arrive, so he can just walk around a bit more during this time.
The old city is hidden among high-rise buildings, with criss-crossing stone roads, dark streets, and low-rise houses in sharp contrast to the commercial district in the distance.
This situation is quite common in this day and age. No matter how advanced the level of civilization and technology is, some things will not change.
The existence of the old city is also necessary, otherwise no workers would be willing to enter the city.
As Yuya walked along, he saw many vendors sitting in the shade outside the shop, fanning themselves. He thought about it, then walked over and asked, "Hey, uncle, I see why so many of you are sitting outside.
?"
The middle-aged man who was being spoken to glanced at him and saw that he was a young man, so he said, "There was a power outage here early in the morning. It's not over yet. Everyone is staying indoors, just like taking a sauna."
It stopped for so long?
The Electric Power Administration should deduct wages.
"Well, uncle, I'm actually a reporter for a magazine..." Yuya first expressed his identity, and then asked tentatively: "I heard that someone saw a monster near here today?"
"Monster? I've never seen it before." The middle-aged man frowned, but after a pause he added: "However, it was really noisy here in the morning. As soon as I opened the store, I heard a few young people shouting.
There are monsters."
"So this is true?!" Yuya was surprised.
The middle-aged man shook his head and said, "I don't think so. It's probably those gangsters who were shouting and making noise. If there really were monsters, we would have been reduced to ruins long ago."
It seems that the two ruins created by Bermula and Huonong impressed the people very much...
The recent frequent occurrence of monsters has indeed made many people a little nervous.
"Then have you heard any strange sounds?" Yuya continued to ask without giving up.
"Strange noises? Never."
The uncle seemed unable to ask anything. Yuya was disappointed for a moment, then suddenly remembered something and asked quickly, "By the way, did the first power outage here also start four days ago?"
The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "It seems so. When you said that, I realized that the power outage started so early. What on earth is the power management bureau doing!"
Yuya: "..."
He also realized that he had been catching a dull uncle asking questions.
...
On the other side of the road.
Because the technicians sent by the headquarters have arrived at ** two days ago, everyone's equipment has been upgraded and updated in many places.
Chiba Yukaya also took the opportunity to go down and communicate with them, and got a lot of good things.
You must know that the data could not be detected twice before the monster appeared, which had already made him very unhappy.
He happened to get a gadget yesterday and planned to try it this time.
It's definitely not intentionally avoiding training or anything.
Driving a special car equipped by the government, Chiba Yuki rushed towards the scene of the incident at a very fast speed. However, not long after he entered the area, he suddenly felt a palpitation in his heart.
"strangeness..."
Chiba Sachi slowed down the car slightly and looked out the window. At this time, he was on a bridge. There were rivers on both sides and the city in front and behind. The wind was beautiful and the sun was shining brightly. There was really nothing strange about it.
But as the saying goes, sometimes it's just too much calm that can be disturbing.
Boom!
The ground shook violently in an instant.
This feeling is very similar to the previous two times. When the two monsters appeared, didn't they also want to play with the earth first like this?
As we drove towards the bridge, the shaking became more and more obvious. Many drivers on the bridge felt this change and chose to brake one after another.
Instead, Chiba Yuki accelerated the speed of the car, directly using energy to propel it. Under the astonished eyes of many drivers, he disappeared on the bridge at a speed that would definitely result in a fine.
"Yuya, where are you——"
"earthquake?!"
After crossing the bridge, the vibrations on the ground gradually stopped. After careful consideration, Chiba Yuki chose to stop the car, and then quickly turned on the communicator to call Yuya Tsukui. However, as soon as he spoke, he was overtaken by the other party.
Yuya's image appeared on the pop-up virtual screen. After interrupting Chiba Yuki's words, he exclaimed, "Fuck, I saw a monster!"
"where?"
"Damn it disappeared again!"
"Where are you now?"
"Damn it, it seems like it's still destroying it. It hasn't disappeared, I just can't see it!"
"you...!"
Chiba Yuki, who was about to curse, took a deep breath, then cut off the communication with Yuya and connected to **.
Then Shirley's image appeared on the virtual screen.
"Locate Yuya's location. There is a monster there." Chiba Yuki said quickly.
"C-03." Shirley answered briefly after checking the result.
This is much more efficient than that guy.
As for Yuya, he really agreed with what the middle-aged uncle said——
When monsters come out, doesn't that mean it will become a ruin?
But the slightly better thing is that this monster appeared and left quickly. After casually destroying it, it quickly stopped moving.
Yuya, who was hiding under the house, took the risk. After seeing that there was no danger, he quickly activated the communicator on his wrist and used the camera function inside to record the surrounding scene.
In fact, he also took a quick photo while the monster was wreaking havoc.
But looking at it now, the images there were no different from the images he had previously suspected were computer-generated.
In the endless sky, there is only an illusory outline, and it is impossible to tell what it is.
The reason why he was sure it was a monster was because Yuya saw it solidify for a moment.
Chapter completed!
