Ultraman: I'm addicted to special effects and I traveled through time to become Zero

Chapter 145 Fake Reporter Chang Mu

A few days later.

In a zoo, a young girl sat on a bench with a paintbrush in her hand.

There was an easel in front of her, and she stared intently at the drawing paper on it. The pen in her hand moved gently, sketching back and forth on the paper.

In front of the easel is a high fence in the zoo, where several giraffes are eating grass with their heads down.

The whole picture is peaceful and tranquil, and looks refreshing.

Chang Mu came behind her at some point, observing the contents on her drawing board, and couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

"What a great painting! The giraffe looks so lifelike!"

The girl turned around following the sound and a sweet smile appeared on her face.

"Thank you for the compliment. This is nothing. I just drew it casually."

"No, no, you are too modest. The painting is indeed very good."

"By the way, my name is Chang Mu, and I'm a reporter. I'm here to take photos of the zoo and interview some of the tourists here."

Chang Mu patted the camera hanging on his chest and introduced the girl in front of him.

"I just saw you drawing here, so I wanted to interview you. Is that okay?"

Seeing that the other party had already revealed his identity, the girl put down her paintbrush and flicked the end of her hair. "No problem, but what do you want to interview me about?"

Chang Mu smiled and said, "Haha, it's not anything private. It's just some daily interview questions." Then he sat on the bench with his butt sticking out.

"Excuse me, what is your name, miss?"

"Saita Riko."

"Oh, Miss Lizi, I see you've been drawing here. Is this your usual hobby?"

Taking out a notebook from his body, Chang Mu began to pretend to write down the conversation between the two of them.

"Well... I do like painting, but this piece is the title of my university project, called 'Family Portrait'."

As she spoke, Lizi pointed to the content on the painting with a smile on her face.

"Giraffe dad, giraffe mom, and their two children, isn't it heartwarming?"

Hearing this, Chang Mu's heart skipped a beat.

A family of four, doesn’t this correspond exactly to Lizi’s family?

Although the power of darkness turned her into a puppet, fortunately, the subconscious mind in her soul still acted instinctively.

Thinking of this, Chang Mu immediately asked: "Since it is a family portrait, why doesn't Miss Lizi paint one for her own family? Isn't it inconvenient?"

Hearing this, Lizi's face showed confusion, and her mind began to reflect on Chang Mu's question.

Yes, why not draw a picture for your family?

Why do I draw animals?

As she was thinking, Lizi's head twitched suddenly and her eyes became dull.

A dark force is about to burst out from her body!

Chang Mu realized that something was wrong and that he had done something wrong.

So he quickly changed the subject and explained on Lizi's behalf: "Oh, then it seems that Miss Lizi's family must be very busy and have almost no time to help you complete the painting?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the dark fluctuations in Lizi's body disappeared instantly, and her eyes were bright again.

"Mr. Chang Mu, you're right. My family is usually very busy, but they all love me very much."

Recalling the happy times with her family, Lizi's face smiled again.

Looking at such a sweet and lovely smile, Chang Mu couldn't help but curse that bastard Goroki Shinya in his heart.

You have the guts to harm such a simple girl, you are such a beast!

Then he turned his eyes and found a small doll hanging in Lizi's hand.

"Ms. Lizi, this little gadget looks interesting. What is it used for?"

"You mean this?" Lizi raised her hand and took the doll in her hand. "This is an amulet I made myself. I plan to give it to my boyfriend."

"Because Gumen-kun's usual job is quite dangerous, I did this in the hope that I could protect his safety on my behalf."

Seeing the longing look in Lizi's eyes, Chang Mu seized the opportunity and asked again: "It's very dangerous. What exactly does he do for a living? Is he a firefighter?"

"No, but it's almost like that. He used to be a rescuer in the search and rescue team. Now he seems to have changed to a new job, and the content seems to be related to rescue." Lizi replied patiently.

"I see, rescuers, that's really dangerous."

Chang Mu muttered, then his eyes turned, "Ms. Lizi, I have a story, do you want to hear it?"

"Go ahead, I love listening to stories."

Chang Mu grinned, and then said slowly:

"Legend has it that there was a little girl who lived happily with her family in the mountains."

"One day, a demon escaped from the depths of the mountains. The demon brutally murdered the little girl's family and took over her body, using her appearance to wreak evil on the world."

"Later, a hero of light appeared. He killed the demon in the little girl's body and restored peace to the world. However, the little girl died in the battle with the demon..."

After listening to the story, Lizi felt a little sad for some reason.

This feeling is very strange, as if I have become the little girl in this story.

"This little girl... is so pitiful..."

"I believe she couldn't bear the pain of losing her family. She witnessed everything but was powerless to do anything. Perhaps death was her only relief."

Feeling a wave of grief, tears welled up in Lizi's eyes, and she couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

This is clearly just a story, but I don't know why it caused such a strong reaction in me.

"Ms. Lizi, the little girl in the story was clearly an innocent person who should have had a wonderful life. Do you think it's a pity that she died like this?"

"Even though she lost her family, there are definitely people in this world who are willing to love her. Maybe they are friends, maybe they are lovers. But only when she is alive can there be hope, don't you think?"

After Chang Mu finished speaking, Lizi seemed to be lost in thought and remained silent for a long time, with a strange light in her eyes.

Seeing that the purpose of this trip had been achieved, Chang Mu stood up.

"It's getting late. I'll take my leave now, Miss Lizi. I'll come see you again when I have time."

After saying that, Chang Mu turned and left, throwing the notebook in his hand into the trash can.

"Hope..."

Lizi murmured, then looked up at the sky.

Seeing the sun gradually setting, she put away her easel and drawing board and started walking towards home.

When she passed by the trash can, she glanced at it for some unknown reason and happened to see the notebook that Chang Mu had thrown away, but the content on it was blank.

"Huh, nothing?"

"What a strange person..."

......

After leaving, Chang Mu walked to a deserted place.

Turning his head slightly towards the back, he shouted in a deep voice:

"Aren't you tired after following me for so long?"

"Come out!"

A dark figure rushed out from the woods beside the road.

"Interesting, how did you find me?"

His voice was a little hoarse, and he didn't sound like a good person.

Chang Mu chuckled, "Interesting!"

"I think it's quite interesting too. I never thought that instead of looking for you, you would come looking for me!"

"Goroki Shinya!!"
