Volume 11 Chapter 22 Childhood
The remnant sun is like blood.
The long shadows stretched to the walls by the setting sun.
A slightly old sliding door gradually blew with a gentle breeze.
This is a box-type substation. Standing in this sunset, I don't know why, it looks a little desolate.
A young girl, in the shape of a large figure, is lying in front of this substation.
Suddenly, the wind blew.
In the distance, there were occasional loud shouts.
"I'm Ultraman Zofie!"
"I'm Ultraman Seven!"
"I'm the Great Monster King Red!"
A group of children, no more than eight or nine years old, each wearing a monster and Ultraman mask, were playing around on the grass.
The girl was woken up by their voices.
She rubbed her eyes and looked at the grass in front of her, and at the children in front of her.
At this moment, one of the children, wearing the mask of Ultraman Seven, was overthrown to the ground by the child who played the monster, and then a fight broke out.
"Ah...... You cheat, how can a monster defeat Ultraman? ”
"Hmph, if you can't beat it, you can't beat it, what excuse do you make! Who said that Ultraman must defeat the big monsters? ”
In the end, the "Ultraman Seven" yelled, "I, I won't play with you anymore!" ”
Then, he threw away Severn's mask and ran towards the box-type substation in front of him.
The girl looked at the child, but she was shocked.
Because...... She clearly recognized that it was ......
Father!
Dad who is only eight or nine years old!
The boy ran to the substation, snorted, and then. Just take a few cards out of your pocket. All of them are Ultraman and monster cards.
"Hmph. Not playing with you! ”
Then he put the cards on the ground and put them together one by one.
"Jin Shudong and Laipi!"
"It's always like this, every time I play with him, I always have to win, otherwise I will be reckless if I lose."
"I'll never play with him next time."
Then, the group of children wearing Ultraman masks gradually moved away from here and disappeared.
The kid then took the cards. Holding the Ultraman card in one hand and the monster card in the other, they "fight" in their hands and dub their voices.
"Help...... I can't beat Ultraman......"
"I am the messenger of justice! You can't be allowed to do evil......"
"Poof!"
Xijing finally couldn't help but laugh. Seeing his father appear in front of him in this image, anyone can't help but laugh.
At this time, the young man ...... That is, the childhood Jin Shudong, noticed the mirror.
"What are you laughing at? Big sister? ”
Being called so by his father, Xijing also feels very weird.
"No...... It's nothing. Where did you get these cards? ”
"These are the cards that come with instant noodles when you buy them. In order to collect all these cards. I spent more than a dozen packs of instant noodles! ”
Xijing suddenly felt a black line...... Then again, judging by the age of the father. It should be the end of the eighties now.
It is worth mentioning that in the real world, Ultraman should have been introduced to China in the nineties. However, in this movie, this time is advanced by a few years, so let's consider it a bug......
She approached Jin Shudong and said, "You like Ultraman very much?" ”
"Of course! Ultraman, like Doraemon, is the embodiment of justice! All the evil monsters that invaded the earth have been destroyed by Ultraman! I like Ultraman Seven the most! That's why I'm wearing a Severn mask! ”
In the real world, Saiwen was not introduced to Chinese mainland for broadcasting, but in this world, Saiwen followed the original Ultraman, which was broadcast on TV in the late eighties and became a hero in the hearts of children.
"Tonight, a new Ultraman, Ultraman Ace, will be broadcast!" Jin Shudong said excitedly: "When the time comes, I must collect the cards as soon as possible!" ”
"Do you prefer Doraemon, or Ultraman?"
"Well......" Jin Shudong tilted his head and thought about it, and then said, "I like it all!" If only I had a machine from the future with me. ”
"What if...... I said that I, like Doraemon, also came from the future, do you believe it? ”
Jin Shudong was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "Big sister, do you think I'm a child and it's easy to deceive?" I all know that Doraemon's timing is completely fictional, how can there be such a thing in reality! Ah, I've got to hurry home for dinner, and after dinner, it's just the first episode of Ultraman Ace! I won't talk to you more, big sister! ”
Then, Jin Shudong was ready to run home to eat.
At this time, the mirror carefully observed the surroundings.
That's right...... This is indeed the community where my father used to live. Speaking of which, when she returned to Dongjiang City, she also went to her father's house to see it. Naturally, the houses there have long since changed hands, and the community has been completely renewed.
At this moment, she can completely compare the photo albums she found with the current scene of the community.
This box-type substation, she recalls, was a place where her father used to come many times to have fun. When my father was a child, because of various shortcomings in his personality, the director didn't have many friends, so he often played here alone. What to play? Quite simply, he plays the role of Monster and Ultraman alone.
It sounds very lonely, but my father himself is responsible.
But now is not the time for nostalgia......
Xijing thought about it carefully. At that time, she was near the garbage mountain in Guangyue, and suddenly, she lost consciousness. Then I woke up and there I was.
Xijing walked to the lawn below with Jin Shudong, and she always felt that something bad might happen.
God, it's going to be dark soon.
By that time...... What will happen?
Jin Shudong quickly ran to the apartment where he lived and ran in. And Xijing also followed.
The place where Jin Shudong lives is on the fourth floor.
watched him enter the gate, but Xijing was still not at ease. However, there was no reason for her to go in.
If...... If the father of childhood has an accident, then the father of a future high school student will also have an accident. Even because of this, Dad won't meet Mom.
So...... She will disappear into this world.
"Ah...... It's the white-clothed sister who talked to Jin Shudong just now! ”
When she turned around, she saw a child wearing an Ultraman mask.
"Hello...... ...... children"
"I'm not a child, I'm Ultraman Zofie! When Ultraman was killed by Jetton, I saved him! ”
Xijing laughed dryly and said, "Okay...... Well, Zoffie, how is your relationship with Jin Shudong? ”
"He...... The most annoying! It's tiring to play games with him! Sister, don't pay attention to him! ”
"Ultraman Zofie" looked at the mirror, and suddenly he clapped his hands and said, "Ah." By the way, sister, speaking of which...... There was a sister who was similar to you before, who also came out next to that substation. He was dressed in tatters, his body was still dirty, and his hair was so long that he covered his face. Look...... It's like a female ghost! ”
Xijing's heart trembled!
"You...... When did you see it? ”
"That's it...... Just an hour before they were playing the Ultraman game with Jin Shudong, I saw it at that time. It's weird, I followed at that time, but somehow, when I turned a corner, I couldn't see the person. Sister, do you know that weird sister? ”
an hour ago......
The ghost who dragged himself into this past time and space came to this plane an hour before himself!
I can't help but look at that door!
At this time, Jin Shudong's family was having dinner.
"Shudong," said Father Jin, who gave him a piece of meat, "Your mother and I are going to go to a nearby mall after dinner." You stay home and watch TV alone, don't go out! ”
"Okay, I got it!"
On the walls of the room, various paintings were plastered. Inside the painting, there are Doraemon, Ultraman and monsters, all of which are from Jin Shudong's hand, and it can be said that all of them are painted lifelike, not at all like a child's graffiti!
After eating, Father and Mother Jin left.
And Xijing stood in front of the stairs, watching her grandfather and grandmother walk in front of her, and couldn't help but sigh.
Then, taking a deep breath, she walked to the door and knocked on the door.
This is a great opportunity!
After a while, Jin Shudong opened the door...... (To be continued......)
