After Wein left, Leon wandered around and visited the black market.
The general look and feel here is very similar to the carpet night market in the previous life, except that the probability of contraband appearing here is much higher, and the guns on the shop are not models, but genuine ones.
After staying for a few seconds on several automatic pistols, Leon looked away and noticed that there seemed to be only a piece of paper placed on the stall not far away as goods.
Considering that Carlson had bought the manuscript of the experimental report on the psychic autonomous circuit on the black market, Leon was more suspicious that this person was really selling some strange manuscripts than the merchant was showing off, so he took a closer look.
You wouldn’t know it if you didn’t look at it, but you would be shocked to see that the only piece of paper placed on the stall contained a simple sentence:
Changes from odd to even remain unchanged.
Isn't this a classic pair for those who travel through the Great Celestial Dynasty? Liang swallowed his saliva, maybe he finally met the same kind.
No, wait, calm down, maybe this is a way for the Suppression Bureau to catch time-travelers. According to Wein, they have dealt with many time-travelers...
Leon became entangled, this seemed to be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to get to know his fellow villagers, but the opportunity presented itself so straightforwardly that it was hard not to suspect something was wrong.
If Liang jumps out and confronts his opponent at this time, the best situation is that he will get to know his fellow countryman, and he will no longer be lonely and wandering in another world, and he can hug each other for warmth; in the worse situation, it may be that the fellow countryman has a special purpose and wants to find him.
The fellow countryman has evil intentions; the worst case scenario is of course that this is not a message from a fellow countryman at all, but a trap used by the Su Zheng Bureau or other organizations to catch time travellers.
It might be a better choice to ignore this pairing, but Liang felt a little itchy in his heart. The temptation of meeting an old friend in a foreign land was too great, not to mention that this "foreign land" was still a world away.
Turning his attention from the paper to the vendor, Liang decided to see who made the pair first.
There is nothing special about this vendor. He is wearing the ubiquitous white shirt and trousers, with a mask on his face. He is sitting on a stool behind the stall, with one hand on his lap to support his head, and the other hand hanging down naturally.
His whole person exuded an aura of idleness.
He seemed to be a fairly ordinary person, and Liang suspected that the note was not from him, but that he was just looking after the shop on his behalf.
After thinking about his words, Liang touched his face wrapped in black stockings and made up his mind to give it a try.
When he walked to the shop, the other party noticed Liang's shadow, raised his head, immediately perked up, and sat upright: "Brother, you look very down-to-earth in your appearance."
The wording is more market-oriented, and the social status should not be too high... Liang nodded: "Sir, what are you selling?"
"Why, it's none of your business, right?"
This attitude is so bad. Are you really here to do business? Liang twitched his lips and continued: "I see that there are a lot of things in other people's stalls. When I come to you, there is only a piece of paper, and there is only one line written on it.
Strange... symbol, so I was curious and wanted to ask."
The other party laughed: "This is a black market, you have no control over what I sell. My business here is to give corresponding symbols based on these symbols, and the reward is 10 pounds. If you don't understand this thing, please leave."
"
"Wait a minute." Liang said, "To be honest, I feel like I have seen this symbol somewhere."
"Oh?" The other party's interest was aroused, "Elaborate."
"I feel like this should be a kind of text, right?"
"Words..." The other party nodded, "Indeed, well, they are indeed words. And what else do you know?"
"Why don't you tell me first, what does it mean to hang a piece of white paper with some writing on it in your stall?"
The other party thought for a moment and waved his hand: "Okay, I've been in the black market for several days and finally met someone who knows something. I'll just tell you and maybe I can get the job done."
"To be honest, this piece of paper was given to me by my lady. She said that this is a sentence on the paper. If anyone can give the second half of the sentence with the same five symbols, I have to give her the contact information of that person.
."
It sounds like that "young lady" is a time traveler, well, I can't be so sure... Liang's mind turned quickly and he replied: "I see, but it's a pity that I have only seen this kind of writing and have not mastered it.
When I get back, I will ask my friend who really knows this kind of writing to see if he is willing to give the second half of the sentence."
The other party's tone was a little disappointed: "Okay... I hope you can contact your friend as soon as possible. I don't want to stay on the black market for another seven or eight days."
Leon turned and left. The "I have a friend" in his mouth was not him, er, it was not just himself. In fact, Leon thought of a suitable "person to take the blame" - Wein.
In the name of Wei Yin, it might be safer to give the second half of the sentence "Odd and even remain unchanged". First, Wei Yin knows the existence of time travellers; secondly, if this is a trap of an organization such as Suzheng Bureau, Wei Yin will
You should be able to cope with it.
Thinking of this, Leon couldn't help but look forward to Wei Yin's quick return, and looked at the direction he left with eager eyes.
Then, someone touched his shoulder, and a familiar voice came from his ears:
"What are you thinking about me?"
"Hey!" Leon was frightened and took two steps back. He saw Wein who smelled like French fries. "I was scared to death. How did you get here?"
"There's more than one road here." The paper bag swayed with Wein's movements, "Are you planning to do something bad if you expect me to come back?"
"How did you know I was waiting for you?"
"You stared at the direction I left for a long time, obviously waiting for someone, and you are not a kitten who will be sad if I leave. You are waiting for me so eagerly, you must be hoping that I will play some role." Wein's voice was clear.
Looking lazily, "Is it possible that you want to buy something and don't have enough money?"
"No, look at that stall over there..."
Leon told what he had just seen, and Wein nodded: "So you want me to be a tool."
"No, uh, after all, I am weak and helpless, it would be much safer if I were you."
"Tsk, tsk." Wein smacked his lips, "I can't believe it, I can't believe how long it has been before you actually start to take advantage of me, boss."
"It can't be considered a use..."
"What do you think of that 'young lady'?"
"Me?" Liang thought for a while, "I'm not sure if this is a real time traveler or a trap set by the Sovereign Bureau."
"A trap set by the Su Zheng Bureau? Haha, if the trap set by the Su Zheng Bureau is of this level, then the heretic secret witch and his like will have to laugh." Wein shrugged, "In my opinion, he is just a person who doesn't know what's going on in the world.
What a dangerous little time-traveler’s attempt to find his friends.”
"But it's a bit mindless to do this, isn't it? Just post the pair in such a careless way to find other time travelers..."
"Let me ask you, what would you do if I didn't pick you up and you survived by luck, and found out that this world seems to have traces left by other travelers from the same country?"
Liang was stunned and said: "I will... try to find other time travelers."
Humans are social animals and will always subconsciously look for similar people. In this kind of different world, travelers will subconsciously feel that fellow citizens from the same world as themselves will be trustworthy allies.
"Then, can you ensure that your method of finding people is better than this time traveler lady?"
"..."
"Yes, without my kind reminder, you would not know that the official forces in this world are aware of the existence of time-travelers, and that they have dealt with many time-travelers, so you would carelessly use such clever methods to find similar people.
, and then exposed himself to many eyes. So there is no need to criticize the time traveler lady harshly. Although she is stupid, she is so stupid."
Appeared, the magical adjective of Vin.
"Then give it to me."
"What?" Leon was stunned again.
"That's right, the next sentence remains unchanged from odd to even."
"Oh." Leon quickly took out a pen and paper, wrote "Look at the symbols for quadrants" on the paper, and handed it to Wein.
"The symbol looks at the quadrant?" Wein looked at it and asked, "What does this mean?"
"This is actually a mathematical jingle..." Leon explained.
"Oh, jingle, it's quite convenient."
Wein wrote down the office's fixed phone number at the bottom of the note, and then the two of them went to the stall together.
The vendor raised his head: "It's you, you're here again, this... is the expert who understands this language?"
"I don't dare to be an expert. Please convey this note to your lady. I think the content will satisfy her." Wein directly threw the note over. "The phone number is on it. Your lady is willing."
, you can contact me by phone.”
"Oh, I finally got something." The merchant took a look at the note given to him by Wein. Although he couldn't understand it, the symbols on it seemed to be from the same system as the text written by the lady, so he relaxed a little.
"This is the reward that the lady promised, 10 pounds. Please keep it."
The vendor took out a 10-pound note, and it was not difficult for Leon to understand the intention of the time traveler lady. It was a very naive idea to use money to build relationships with other time travellers.
"It seems that she is indeed the eldest daughter of a rich family." Wein glanced at Liang and said, "Please help me keep it and let's go."
