Chapter 2289 A helping hand from first acquaintance
Mather really didn't understand why she still hadn't received the paper crane from Lin Sanjiu.
In order to contact Lin Sanjiu, she thought of many ways; she asked everywhere whether there was a messenger service, or whether she could hire an evolutionizer to help find people, advertise, leave clues, and other means to find people.
, to name a few.
But because she always had some conditions that she couldn't meet - for example, she didn't have anything related to Lin Sanjiu in recent years, which is a necessity for many people-tracing methods - in the end, Mather just spent money.
She found someone to send out a paper crane on her behalf.
However, since the paper cranes could be distributed smoothly, it meant that Lin Sanjiu must also be in the Karma Museum; why did she wait with anxiety for several weeks but never received a reply from Lin Sanjiu?
The thought of "Is Lin Sanjiu deliberately avoiding me?" came up more than once, but was dismissed by Mather herself shaking her head.
The Lin Sanjiu she knew was not such a cold and insensitive person - to say the least, even if her temperament had changed drastically in recent years and she was no longer the Lin Sanjiu she used to be, she would have no reason to avoid Mather.
Mather has to avoid being tracked by others while also tracking her own goals, which means that she can neither completely disappear from the world nor dare to truly walk into the sun; her days are like being eroded by the wind.
She could only live in the cracks scratched by the wind and sand among the rocks.
In recent times, Mather has used the stupidest method to find someone.
She searched around and found a painter before the end of the world, and asked him to draw a portrait of Lin Sanjiu that was similar to her based on the description - Mather hadn't seen her for a long time, so she could only hope for short hair and bandages.
Such characteristics were still there - and then whenever Mather had the chance, she would take the portrait to a crowded place and inquire.
Finding people in this way is not much different from finding a needle in a haystack; it’s just that Mather always feels that if you exclude someone who has never met Lin Sanjiu, there will be one less person. She finds someone who has met Lin Sanjiu from the remaining people.
, the possibility is one point higher.
"I haven't seen it before," an old man with a wrinkled face glanced at the portrait in her hand with indifferent eyes, and answered so quickly that one even doubted whether he had seen it clearly.
Mather turned cold and said in a serious tone: "Look again, she is nearly 1.8 meters tall, which is very conspicuous."
This is an organization's recruitment meeting for new recruits. Because it lasts for several days, it also attracts a lot of peripheral services such as food vendors. Mather asked a dozen people in a row, and the answer was "never seen it"——
No matter how positive her attitude was, she could not help but feel frustrated and anxious.
"No more," the old man said impatiently. He picked up the spatula and said, "Do you want to buy fried noodles? If not, don't delay my business."
Mather pursed her lips, knowing she couldn't ask anything else. Just when she turned around to leave, out of the corner of her eye she caught a glimpse of the poster posted under the old man's fried noodle stall - "Black Rock Live Music Night"
The word immediately made her heart skip a beat: This kind of activity that can attract a large number of evolved people is the best place to inquire and find people.
However, when she quickly took a closer look, she couldn't help but be disappointed. It was a band's live performance, and the time was actually last night, and she happened to miss it.
"Excuse me," Mather said with full of disappointment, and went on to ask the next person - no matter if the other person was a street vendor, a passerby, or an evolver who was preparing to apply for a job; anyway, she would ask whoever she could stop.
"Have you seen the person in the painting?"
While several other evolvers shook their heads and walked away, a short, fat man squinted his eyes and looked at the poster carefully. "Well... I can't tell where I've seen it before. I just think it looks familiar. I think I've seen it before."
"Really?" This was not the first time that Mather heard such an ambiguous answer. She had learned not to give up hope too early. "Can you recall what she was doing at that time and what you were doing? Maybe
This way you can remember the location.”
Fortunately, the short, fat man seemed to be quite warm-hearted. "I have a bad memory, but I remember people's faces clearly. She left a good impression on me, although I felt like I had met this person a long time ago."
, but she doesn’t seem to be a bad person, and she seems to have many friends around her... Why are you looking for her? "
Even though Mather repeatedly warned herself not to be happy too early, her heartbeat still accelerated uncontrollably.
If someone remembers it wrong, or has seen someone who looks similar to Lin Sanjiu, it is possible; but this short and fat man not only thought that Lin Sanjiu's picture looked familiar, he even pointed out that she is a very nice person and has many friends - this is not
Is this the most concise description of Lin Sanjiu?
"Yes, that's right, I think it's the same person." She said quickly, "I'm her friend, but I can't contact him."
"Can't paper cranes do the same?" the short, fat man asked while looking at the poster - as if he was trying to recall the place where he saw Lin Sanjiu.
Mather gave a wry smile and briefly mentioned a few methods that he had tried and failed. Sure enough, the short and fat man opened his mouth and sighed several times. He seemed to have some sympathy for Mather and looked around.
Seeing that no one was paying attention, he whispered: "Um... I know this sounds quite coincidental. If it is too coincidental, it sounds a bit suspicious. But... I am still very good at finding people.
"
He seemed to have noticed Mather's look, and waved his hand hurriedly: "Don't get me wrong! I didn't just want to deceive you when I saw the opportunity. This is really what I make a living from. If you don't believe it, I won't charge you anything.
, how about you pay me when you find someone?"
Mather looked at him, still dubious.
"When I'm looking for someone, I don't even have to leave your side. We act together, and you can clearly see what I do," the short, fat man said hurriedly. "I rely on my ability to find someone, and I'm not afraid of people seeing it. Add
I seem to have seen the target you are looking for, this shouldn’t be difficult. When you find someone, I will make a fortune easily, and you and I will both be happy...right?"
Just now, she took the initiative to stop him to inquire. If Mather hadn't walked over, the short and fat man would have gone far away. Besides, he repeatedly promised not to charge until he found Lin Sanjiu, which also gave Mather a glimmer of hope: maybe
This man is really capable, so he dares to make such a guarantee.
He has heard about his failed attempts, but he still thinks he can give it a try. This is the best signal.
More importantly, she was very tired. How many evolvers there were in Karma's world was a number that she didn't want to think about at all. How long would it take to find out one by one? Can she find out how many evolvers there were on her own or?
Did Lin Sanjiu find the other party before teleporting away?
She needs the help of such a person.
"Okay," Mather nodded, "How do you find it? Do you need anything?"
"Before we officially start, I have to ask you something." The short, fat man became serious and said, "Are you really her friend? Are you not seeking revenge or looking for trouble? Don't blame me for asking more questions.
In a word, because I have been touched by the power of Karma a long time ago."
Mather vaguely understood.
"If I helped you find this person, but you robbed and killed her, then part of the karma must be attributed to me." The short and fat man said: "What's more,
She doesn't feel like a bad person to me, and if something happens to her because of me, it will be even more...so you have to tell me the truth, what exactly are you looking for her for."
"Don't worry," Mather naturally wouldn't tell him all the details, but she could tell him a general outline. She couldn't see anything wrong. "I'm looking for her because I have someone who is very important to me.
My family needs her help to escape from death and come back to me. I can't do this myself, so I can only place my hope on her and let her complete it for me... Not only will it not work
I think it's a good thing to increase your karma."
Perhaps seeing her sincere expression, the short and fat man relaxed his shoulders and nodded.
"Okay, I believe you." He smiled and said, "Then we will go find your friend together."
Mather felt as if she had smiled for the first time in the past few years.
"My name is Mather," she waved her hand and said, "We won't shake hands."
"No problem, no problem," the short, fat man said, "My name is Jotense."
I really can’t do both. It takes me a long, long time to pull my mind and thoughts out of one world of literature and immerse myself in another world. Fortunately, the convenience store still has the last bit of the plot, so I posted it
, I can focus on the end of the world again.
For those of you who have read it on iPower, there is nothing to lose if you don’t read the Qidian version, because I only added two or three plot points, and you all know the direction of the whole story anyway. But the first version of the convenience store is really
It's so buggy that I broke into a cold sweat while editing it.
