Chapter 4 Chapter 4 Air Man

The reporter said eloquently: "You probably don't know the situation of this monster. I am a reporter from a newspaper office, so of course I have seen a lot. I am a reporter from "Toyo Shimbun". I have been following him recently, but every time I let him Slip away, after all, you can’t see him.” "It's unbelievable. That guy is like air, invisible and intangible. So, is he... a human?" "He's human. He's a big thief." After the reporter finished speaking, he thought for a moment, looked at the two children, and then spoke again, "Do you two live near here? How about it? There is still a little time for dinner, we will find a shop nearby and chat while drinking tea. You two are very brave in following that monster, so I will tell you his story."

Shimada and Kinoshita fully agreed.So the three of them left the wasteland, came to the downtown area, and sat down in a small cafe.The reporter ordered coffee and cake, invited the children to eat and drink, and told stories by himself—— I noticed this monster about ten days ago.I was walking on the streets of Ginza when suddenly someone hit me so hard that I almost fell down. "Walk carefully when you walk!" I yelled, but I didn't see the person who bumped into me.There was indeed a guy who hit me with his body and I couldn't see him.At this moment, the two ladies walking together behind me also seemed to have been shoved, staggered and almost fell.I still haven't seen the perpetrator.It was so strange that I stopped to find out.Sure enough, the young man behind the lady also suddenly staggered.He cursed: "Do you have eyes?" Looking around for a while, no one bumped into him, so he was dumbfounded.

"Oh, it's scary. What happened just now." The faces of the two ladies changed. "Obviously someone bumped into me. Why didn't I see it? It's weird." The young man also stopped, blinking his eyes. In this short period of time, many people were bumped.Everyone stood still and talked about it, and no one could figure out what was going on.After a while, everyone went their separate ways. I suddenly remembered a novel called "The Invisible Man", a masterpiece by the British novelist Wells.It is said that a scholar invented a medicine that can make the human body transparent.As long as you take this medicine, your body will become invisible.Could it be the "invisible man" who bumped into me just now?Just thinking about it gives me goosebumps.

Later, I changed my mind and thought, this "invisible man" is just a character in a novel. How can there be such a powerful medicine, let alone invisible people.Thinking of this, I dismissed the absurd idea just now and went home. Unexpectedly, two or three days later, another strange thing happened to me.This incident made me have to believe that there are indeed "invisible people" in Tokyo. You probably also know that under the overpass in Yurakucho, there is a long row of shoe shiners.That evening, I was standing at the corner of the road waiting for my friends, and I happened to see a thirteen or fourteen-year-old shoe shiner who did not get together with his peers, but set up a stall by himself far away.He shined the shoes of a young man who looked like a gangster, and he worked hard to polish the shoes.When the work was over, the young man took out a big bill from his pocket, and said he had no small money, so he would change it for him.The boy opened the money box beside him and counted the change—unexpectedly, it was full of big bills and small bills, the little shoe shiner was really rich.

The young man squinted at the other party counting the banknotes, snatched the cardboard box abruptly, grabbed a handful of banknotes and stuffed them into his pocket, then threw the empty box away before leaving.The boy was about to cry, holding on to the young man tightly.How could he be the opponent of the little gangster, he was pushed to the ground, crying. At this time, something strange happened.The young man suddenly yelled "Ah" and staggered, as if he was hit by something.Then he blushed and began to fight himself.Obviously no one was fighting with him, he was making exaggerated nonsense by himself, cursing and swearing.I wondered if he had lost his mind.Passers-by came to watch in twos and threes, but no one went up to stop it.In the end, before too many people came to watch, the winner of this bizarre fight was decided.The young man was thrown to the ground severely and could not move for a long time.

You ask me who settled the little gangster, of course it is the invisible opponent.Understand?The little gangster was fighting an invisible man just now. At this time, the young man's pocket suddenly squirmed slightly, a handful of banknotes popped out, and flew back into the original cardboard box by itself, and then the cardboard box also flew up and landed gently on the little shoe shiner's knee.At this time, I saw with my own eyes a vague figure moving.It was this figure who took the money out of the young man's pocket and put it back into the cardboard box.Obviously, it was this figure who subdued the young man just now.I call him "The Airman".Although this "air man" is a gangster, he will also do some good things.He is playing tricks on people, scaring everyone, and he enjoys it.
