Doomsday Wonderland Chapter 1319: Taxi driver
After that text message, Lin Sanjiu waited until evening and did not wait for the second message.
Hundreds of small advertisements have been distributed. In order to spread them over a wider area, Wu Lun also came up with a way: find those waiting for the bus or subway and give them 20 yuan each. , asking him to take a few small advertisements to his destination and post them up. There must be people who throw away the small advertisements as soon as they get out of the car, but there will also be people who do the same - even if only one out of ten people does this, the missing person notice will reach further places.
The division of labor between the two of them is very clear. While Lin Sanjiu continues to post missing persons notices, Wu Lunlai talks about it one by one; after all, it is not enough to entrust Lin Sanjiu with dealing with ordinary people, but it is considered She's in her element.
However, almost every word in the missing person notice written by Lin Sanjiu can cause ordinary people to have a hundred doubts. As soon as the passengers got the small advertisements, they were flooded with all kinds of questions. Just dealing with them can make people dizzy; not to mention some people were frightened by the puppeteer's photos and ended up having troubles. Baba couldn't move her eyes away, and had to be comforted by Wu Lun. When the sun finally set, she was so tired that her face turned pale.
"This is much more tiring than the last day's work." When he met Lin Sanjiu, Wu Lun almost broke down on the spot. He held her arm with one hand and groaned: "Saving the world is so hard... …I’m telling you, half of the reason I’m tired is because of your uncle’s photo.”
The missing person notice was just to send out a message - there are evolvers looking for evolvers. The photo of the puppeteer is just to grab other people's attention immediately, so it is natural to choose a particularly impactful one. Lin Sanjiu was a little apologetic and suggested, "Don't go to work."
"How can that be done? There is no salary for saving the world."
“Aren’t I trying to figure out how to make money?”
Wu Lun laughed, obviously not taking it seriously at all: "Then I will resign after you mess with it."
Lin Sanjiu sighed and followed her to the side of the road to wait for a taxi - now that he had more than a thousand one-hundred-yuan bills, even Wu Lun was willing to spend money to take a taxi.
"This method is not a long-term solution," she whispered. "With the two of us, the area that can be rolled out is too limited, and it cannot even cover this city. What's more... who knows this number? How long can it be used?"
According to Wu Lun, she couldn't get a new mobile phone number without legal identification. To buy a new mobile phone number, you must first submit an application and proof of identity, and then take the proof to the business hall for identity confirmation; the mobile phone fee must be paid from the bank account of the same name, and in the year before the new number is registered, every Someone called me every month to make sure the number was still used by me.
"It's just a communication tool, why is it so strictly controlled?" Lin Sanjiu asked this question irritably.
Wu Lun thought for a while and replied: "It would be good for us to be more strict. It will be safer this way."
In order not to get Wu Lun into trouble, Lin Sanjiu did not use the mobile phone number in her name, so only Han Jun's number was available - and now, that text message is still there, not big or small. In her mind, the thought would come to her mind.
The reason seems to be not just because she feels sympathy for Han Jun's wife.
It has only been more than three days since the museum robbery. What is strange is that for such a hot news topic that is full of doubts and mysteries and involves high amounts of money, no media has reported on it since that sudden headline. Tracking reports. It wasn't mentioned in the news, and people around her seemed to have forgotten about it. Even Wu Lun talked about it less often - she was living under the same roof as the robbers.
"The police must still be pursuing it," when she asked, Wu Lun said matter-of-factly: "If there is progress, there will be news. Besides, you should just hope that there is no news."
...So, could it be that the missing former security captain finally became a suspect? Is this text message someone trying to test you secretly?
But there is something unreasonable about this idea. If Han Jun has become a suspect and his mobile phone is still in normal use, wouldn't the most effective way be to find the person through mobile phone location? She vaguely remembered that mobile phones could be located by satellites or communication base stations and did not necessarily require the Internet - even if they could not be located, a call from his wife would be more useful than a text message. What effect will it have if just sending a message without beginning or end?
"Ah, a car is coming," Wu Lun called softly, recalling her thoughts.
A taxi with its empty headlights on was attracted by Wu Lun's outstretched arm and slowly approached the two of them. When Wu Lun was about to walk over and open the back seat door, the driver looked down inside and suddenly stepped on the accelerator. The taxi turned around and rushed back to the road, squeezing into the traffic flow - it was the rush hour at this time, and the road was full of traffic. I was suddenly startled by the long and short sound of the horn and the sound of brakes.
"What's going on?" Wu Lun was stunned, "You stopped, why did you leave again?"
Lin Sanjiu turned around and looked in the distance in the direction where the taxi disappeared, frowning slightly. If she remembered correctly, the exact same thing happened not long ago, and a taxi ran away from her.
...Is it the same car?
"Oh, here comes another one!" Wu Lun hurriedly stretched out his hand.
"You go back first," Lin Sanjiu patted her on the shoulder, "I'll chase a car."
"Okay - what, what?" Wu Lun was startled and quickly turned his head, "Eh? Where are the people?"
Before she could finish her words, Lin Sanjiu had already rushed towards the direction where the taxi disappeared. At this time in the evening, there were people and traffic everywhere; the speed of her release was like someone firing a cannonball from the street. Screams, evasive footsteps, falling people...it was like waves splashing and scattering behind the engine. Because her speed was so fast, for most people, they still didn't see clearly what was flashing past them until the wind stirred up by the shadow knocked them down.
At such a speed, it is really an effortless job to chase the taxi that is stuck in the traffic and crawling slowly.
Lin Sanjiu glanced around and found his target. She was like a big bird flying across the beach. After a few ups and downs, she had already crossed half the road. The cars behind her didn't even have time to honk their horns; she landed next to the taxi door with a "dong" sound. He patted the window and shouted: "Open the door!"
The taxi's engine roared, and it seemed to want to speed up and escape from her; but the cars on the left, right, and behind it were tightly surrounding it, and it was walking forward step by step unhurriedly, and it couldn't even escape. There is no place to escape.
"Say it again, open the door." Lin Sanjiu's eyes fell on the driver's profile through the glass, he raised a fist and pointed it at the door glass.
With a "click", the car lock was opened.
She opened the door, got into the passenger seat, and turned to look at the driver.
"Where are you going?" The driver didn't look at her, still staring at the road ahead. He looked about forty or fifty years old, with lightly tanned skin and saggy cheeks. There was a small tag hanging on the rearview mirror that read "Have a safe journey."
"Your abilities have also deteriorated." Lin Sanjiu looked at him and sighed, then asked in a low voice: "How long have you been in this world?"
"What?" The traffic light ahead turned red, and the driver finally turned his head. His facial features were smooth without much fluctuation, and his round face made him look a little softer and talkative. "I don't understand..."
"I have seen evolvers with degraded abilities, and they feel just like you. Ordinary people who have never evolved will not have this kind of loss of power..." Lin Sanjiu frowned and asked. After a while, the word was, "a sense of looseness."
The driver pursed his lips and said nothing. The hands holding the steering wheel were clenched so tightly that the joints seemed to be coming out of the skin; but even with so much effort, the state of his muscles and the sense of strength in his body could only be described as pitiful.
"What's more, if I raise a fist, you will know that you have to unlock the car." She wanted to smile, but her face was too tight to laugh. "Because you know very well that your car door cannot withstand my fist. But ordinary people don't think so, right?"
"What do you want?" The driver breathed out, "I have no power anymore and am no different from an ordinary person. Why are you looking for me?"
"Are there many former evolvers in this place?" Lin Sanjiu remembered that Han Jun had clearly said that he was the first evolver he had ever met - "You are already the first evolver I have met in the past few days. Two."
"I don't know," the driver said, still staring at the road ahead. "I can recognize the evolvers whose power is still there, but I can't recognize the ones who have lost their power. Besides, it's been seven or eight years, and I rarely think about it. Those things in the past."
Lin Sanjiu raised an eyebrow slightly. She reported Wu Lun's home address ~IndoMTL.com~ and said: "Just treat me as an ordinary passenger, I will pay the fare. What I want is very simple. I am new here, and I just want you Tell me everything you know."
"Then I'm afraid I can't help you much," the driver still kept a straight face and turned around at the intersection. "Being able to come to this world is the chance of rebirth that God gave me... Ever since I found out that I would not be teleported away again, I have been working hard and living, even throwing away all special items. As for you evolvers, or what kind of teleportation , abilities, etc., I’m not interested at all, and I don’t know anything.”
"Don't you miss your power at all?"
"I didn't have much power before. That thing is a curse. Take it away so that I can live like a normal person." The driver smiled self-deprecatingly, "My biggest wish is to be able to Go home safely, now my wish has come true."
Lin Sanjiu was about to speak when she saw the taxi stopped on the side of the road.
"Get off here, I don't want your money." The driver didn't even look at her, and his expression was very ugly - he was more afraid than angry. "I have nothing to tell you, so don't come to me again. I just want to live a normal life and don't want to get into any trouble."
