Chapter 2289 A helping hand from the first acquaintance
Mather really doesn't understand why she still hasn't received the paper crane from Lin Sanjiu.
In order to get in touch with Lin Sanjiu, she thought of many ways; she asked everywhere, whether there is a service of passing messages from generation to generation, or whether it is possible to hire an evolutionary person who can help find people, advertise, leave clues, etc. , and so on.
But because she always has one or another condition that cannot be met—for example, she does not have anything related to Lin Sanjiu in recent years, which is a necessity for many people-hunting methods—in the end, Marce just spent money to find someone A paper crane was sent out on her behalf.
However, since the paper cranes can be sent out smoothly, it means that Lin Sanjiu must also be in the Karma Museum; why she waited with anxiety for several weeks, but still did not receive a reply from Lin Sanjiu?
The thought of "Is Lin Sanjiu deliberately avoiding me?" came up more than once, and was dispelled by Marcea shaking her head.
The Lin Sanjiu she knew was not such a cold and insensitive person—to take a step back, even if her temperament had changed drastically in recent years and she was no longer the old Lin Sanjiu, she had no reason to avoid Martha.
Martha wants to avoid being tracked by others while tracking her own target, which means that she can neither completely disappear into the world nor dare to really step into the sun; Rocks, she can only live in the crevices scratched by the wind and sand.
Recently, Mather has used the most stupid way to find someone.
She found a painter before the doomsday, and asked him to draw a similar portrait of Lin Sanjiu according to the description - Martha hadn't seen her for a long time, and she could only hope for short hair and bandages. The traits are still there—then Mather took the portrait and went to crowded places to inquire about it whenever she had the chance.
Finding someone like this is not much different from finding a needle in a haystack; but Mather always feels that if one person who has never seen Lin Sanjiu is excluded, one will be missing, and she will find someone who has seen Lin Sanjiu from the remaining people. , the probability is higher.
"I haven't seen it," an old man with a wrinkled face glanced at the portrait in her hand with indifferent eyes, and his answer was so fast that one wondered if he had seen it clearly.
Mather's face turned cold, and he said in a more emphatic tone: "Look again, she is nearly 1.8 meters tall, very conspicuous."
This is an organization's recruitment meeting for new recruits, because it will last for several days, and it also attracts many peripheral services such as food vendors. Mather asked a dozen people in a row, and the answer was "I haven't seen it"—no matter how positive she was, she couldn't help feeling frustrated and anxious.
"It's over," the old man impatiently picked up the spatula and said, "Can you buy fried noodles? If you don't, don't delay my business."
Martha pursed her lips, knowing that there was nothing she could ask. Just when she was about to turn around to leave, out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of the poster pasted under the old man's chow mein stall - the words "Heishiji Live Music Night", which made her heart skip a beat: this kind can attract people. The activities of a large number of evolutionaries are the most suitable for inquiring and finding people.
However, when she quickly took a closer look, she couldn't help being disappointed. It was a live performance by a band, and the time was last night, so she happened to miss it.
"Excuse me," Martha said, full of disappointment, and went on to ask the next person—whether the person was a street vendor, a passer-by, or an evolutionary who was preparing to apply for a job; she would ask whoever she could stop. "Excuse me, have you ever seen the person in the painting?"
When several other evolutionaries shook their heads and left, a short and fat man squinted his eyes and looked at the poster carefully. "Well... I can't tell where I saw it, but it looks familiar, as if I've seen it before."
"Really?" It was not the first time for Martha to hear such ambiguous answers, and she had learned not to give herself hope too soon. "Can you recall what she was doing and what you were doing at that time, maybe this way you can remember the location."
Fortunately, the chunky man seemed to have a warm heart. "I don't have a good memory for this person, but I can remember people's faces clearly. She gave me a good impression. Although I feel that I have seen this person a long time ago, she doesn't seem to be a bad person. There seem to be people around her. Many friends... What are you looking for her for?"
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 thinks that Lin Sanjiu's portrait looks familiar, but even points out that she is very nice and has many friends—isn't that Is it the most concise description of Lin Sanjiu?
"Yes, that's right, I think it should be the same person." She said quickly, "I am her friend, but I can't get in touch."
"Aren't paper cranes okay too?" the chunky man asked while looking at the poster—as if he was trying to recall the place where he met Lin Sanjiu.
Mather gave a wry smile, and briefly said a few methods that he had tried and failed. As expected, the short and fat man opened his mouth and sighed a few times. He seemed to have some sympathy for Mather, looked around, saw no one was paying attention, and then whispered: "Well... I know this sounds like a coincidence, it sounds a bit suspicious when it's too coincidental. But ...I'm pretty good at finding people."
He seemed to have noticed Mather's expression, and hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Don't get me wrong! I didn't just want to lie to you when I saw an opportunity. I really rely on this for a living. If you don't believe me, I won't charge you anything , When you find someone, you can pay me again, how about it?"
Mather looked at him, still dubious.
"I don't even have to leave your side when I'm looking for someone, we act together, you can see clearly what I've done," the short fat man said hurriedly, "I'm looking for someone by ability, I'm not afraid of people watching. Plus I seem to have seen the target you are looking for, this should not be difficult. When you find someone, I will make a simple profit, and you and I will be happy...Isn't it?"
Just now I took the initiative to stop him from inquiring. 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 finds Lin Sanjiu, which also gave Mather a glimmer of hope: Maybe this person has some skills to dare to make such a guarantee.
He has heard of his failed attempts, but still thinks he can give it a try, which is the best signal.
What's more, she was very tired. How many evolutionaries there are in the Karma world is a number that she doesn't even want to think about; how long will it take to inquire one by one? Can she find the other party before she or Lin Sanjiu teleports 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 and fat man said seriously, "Are you really her friend? You are not looking for revenge, or looking for trouble? Don't blame me for asking too much One sentence, because I have already been touched by the power of Karma."
Mather faintly understood.
"If I helped you find this person, but you snatched her and killed her, then part of the karma must be blamed on 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 are you looking for her for. "
"Don't worry," Martha naturally wouldn't tell him all the details, but told him a general outline, and she couldn't see anything wrong. "I'm looking for her because I have a family member who is very important to me and I need her help to escape from the dead and come back to me. I can't do this by myself, I can only send I hope she can do this for me...not only will it not increase your karma, but I think it is a good deed.”
Perhaps seeing her sincerity, the chunky man relaxed his shoulders and nodded.
"Okay, I believe you." He smiled and said, "Then next, we will go find your friend together."
Martha felt as if she had cracked a smile for the first time in years.
"My name is Mather," she said, waving her hand, "we won't shake hands."
"No problem, no problem," said the chunky man. "My name is Jotense."
I really can't double-open. It takes a long, long time for me to pull out my mind and thoughts from one literary world and immerse myself in another world. Fortunately, the convenience store is still a little short of the last plot. After posting it, I can concentrate on the end of the day again.
Friends who have watched it on Aifa, there is nothing to lose if you don’t read the starting point version, because I only added two or three plot points. Anyway, you all know the direction of the whole story. However, the first version of the convenience store was really buggy, and I broke out in a cold sweat after modifying it.
