Volume 11, Chapter 22, Childhood
The setting sun is like blood...
The long shadow extends to the wall by the setting sun.
A slightly old sliding door gradually blew with a breeze.
This is a box-type substation. Standing in the sunset, for some reason, it looks a bit desolate.
A girl, in a large shape, was lying in front of the substation.
The wind suddenly blew over.
In the distance, there were occasionally bursts of screams.
"I'm Ultraman Zofi!"
"I'm Ultraman Seven!"
"I am the big monster King Red!"
A group of children who were only ** years old, each wearing monsters and Ultraman's masks, were fighting and joking on the grass.
The girl was awakened by their voices.
She rubbed her eyes and looked at the grass in front of her and the kids who were fighting in front of her.
At this moment, the child wearing Ultraman Sevin's mask was overthrown by the child playing the monster and then started fighting.
"Ah...you cheat, how can the monster defeat Ultraman?"
"Hmph, if you can't beat it, you can't beat it. What excuses do you make? Who stipulates that Ultraman must defeat the big monster?"
Finally, the "Ultraman Seven" yelled: "I, I won't play with you anymore!"
Then, he threw Savin's mask and ran up to the box-type substation in front of him.
The girl looked at the child, but was shocked.
Because...she obviously recognized that this was...
dad!
Dad who is only ** years old!
The boy ran to the substation, snorted, and then took out a few cards from his pocket, all of which were Ultraman and monster cards.
"Hmph. I won't play with you!"
Then he put the cards on the ground and combined them one by one.
"Jin Shudong is sloppy again!"
"It's always like this. Every time I play with him, he always has to win, otherwise he will be slouched if he loses."
"I won't take him to play next time."
Then, the group of children wearing Ultraman masks gradually moved away from here and disappeared.
The child then held the cards, holding Ultramanka in one hand and monster cards in the other, "fighted" in his hands, and helped them dubbing them.
"Help...I can't beat Ultraman..."
"I am the messenger of justice! You cannot allow you to do evil..."
"Puff!"
Xijing finally couldn't help laughing. Seeing his father appearing in front of him in this image, anyone could not help laughing.
At this time, the boy... that is, his childhood Jin Shudong noticed Xijing.
"What are you laughing at? Big sister?"
Xijing also feels very strange when she is called this by her father.
"No... nothing. Where did you come from these cards?"
"These are all cards that come with when buying instant noodles. In order to collect all these cards, I spent money to buy more than a dozen packs of instant noodles!"
Xijing suddenly felt a black line... Then again, judging from his father's age, it should be the late 1980s.
It is worth mentioning that in the real world, Ultraman should have introduced China in the 1990s. However, in this movie, this time was advanced a few years ago, so let's just treat it as a bug...
She leaned close to Jin Shudong and said, "Do you like Ultraman very much?"
"Of course! Ultraman and Doraemon are the incarnations of justice! All the evil monsters that invade the earth have been destroyed by Ultraman! I like Ultraman Seven the most! So I wear Seven's mask!"
In the real world, Seven was not introduced to mainland China for broadcast, but in this world, Seven was followed by the first Ultraman, and was broadcast on TV in the late 1980s, becoming a hero in the minds of children.
"Tonight, a new Ultraman - Ultraman Ace will be broadcast!" Jin Shudong said excitedly: "I must collect the cards as soon as possible!"
"Do you prefer Doraemon or Ultraman?"
"Well..." Jin Shudong tilted his head and thought for a while, then said, "Everyone likes it very much! It would be great if I also had a robot from the future accompany me."
"If... I say that I am like Doraemon, I also come from the future, do you believe it?"
Jin Shudong was stunned for a moment, then laughed: "Big sister, do you think I'm a child so easy to cheat? I know that Doraemon's flight timing is simply fictional. How could there be such a thing in reality! Ah, I have to go home and have dinner soon. After dinner, the first episode of Ultraman Ace will be broadcast! I won't tell you more, Big sister!"
Then, Jin Shudong was about to run home to have a meal.
At this time, Xijing 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 had visited her father’s house. The houses there naturally had changed hands and the community was completely renewed.
At this moment, she could completely compare the photo albums she found with the current community scene.
She remembers that this box-type substation was a place where my father came to have fun many times before. When his father was a child, he had no friends due to various personality shortcomings, so he often played here alone. What to play? It’s very simple. He played the role of monsters and Ultraman alone.
It sounds very lonely, but my father himself has his own responsibility.
But now is not the time to be nostalgic...
Xijing thought about it carefully. She was near Guangyue’s garbage mountain, and suddenly she lost consciousness. Then she woke up and appeared here.
Xijing walked to the lawn below with Jin Shudong. She always felt that something bad might happen.
God, it will be dark soon.
By then...what will happen?
Jin Shudong soon ran to the apartment where he lived and ran in. Xijing followed him in.
The place where Jin Shudong lives is on the fourth floor.
Seeing him entering the door, Xijing was still uneasy. However, she had no reason to go in.
If something happens to a father in childhood, then the father of a high school student in the future will also have something to do. Even for this, the father will not meet his mother.
Then... she will disappear into this world.
"Ah... it's the sister in white who just talked to Jin Shudong!"
Xi Jing turned around and saw a child wearing an Ultraman mask.
"Hello...child..."
"I'm not a child, I'm Ultraman Zofi! When Ultraman was beaten to death by Jaton, I saved him!"
Xijing laughed dryly and said, "Okay... OK, Zophie, how is your relationship with Jin Shudong?"
"He... is the most annoying! It's very tiring to play games with him! Sister, don't pay attention to him!"
"Ultraman Zofi" looked at Xijing, and suddenly he patted his hands and said, "Ah. By the way, sister, talk about it... there was another sister who was similar to you before, who also walked out next to the substation. She was dressed in a torn manner, her body was dirty, and her hair was so long that she covered her face. She looked... like a female ghost!"
Xijing's heart trembled!
"When did you... see it?"
"Just... just an hour before playing Ultraman game with Jin Shudong and the others. I saw it at that time. It was so strange. I followed it at that time, but for some reason, I couldn't see that person after a turn. Sister, do you know that weird sister?"
One hour ago...
The ghost who dragged himself into this past time and space came to this time and space one hour earlier than me!
Xijing couldn't help looking at the door!
At this time, Jin Shudong and his family were having supper.
"Shudong," Jin's father picked up a piece of meat for him and said, "After your mother and I have dinner, we will go to the nearby shopping mall. You can stay at home and watch TV alone, don't go out!"
"Okay, I get it!"
The walls of the room were covered with various paintings. Inside the paintings were Doraemon, Ultraman and monsters, all of which were written by Jin Shudong. It can be said that all were painted vividly, not like the graffiti works of children!
After dinner, Jin's father and Jin's mother left.
Xijing stood in front of the stairs and watched her grandfather and grandma walk past her, and couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
Then, she took a deep breath, walked to the door, and knocked on the door.
This is a good opportunity!
Chapter completed!
