Mother really doesn’t understand why she still hasn’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 message delivery service, or whether she could hire an evolutionizer to help find people, advertise, leave clues, etc. There are many ways of human beings.
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 was a necessity for many people-tracing methods - in the end, Mather also She just paid 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 take a step back, even if her temperament had changed drastically in recent years and she was no longer the Lin Sanjiu she used to be, she would not have any reason to avoid Mather. That's right.
Mother 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 swept away by The rocks were eroded by the wind, and she could only survive in the cracks scratched by the wind and sand.
In recent times, Mather has used the stupidest method to find people.
She found a painter before the apocalypse, and asked him to draw a portrait of Lin Sanjiu that could be called similar based on the description - Mather hadn't seen her for a long time, so she could only look forward to it. Characteristics such as short hair and bandages were still there - and then whenever Mather had the chance, she would take the portrait to crowded places and inquire.
Looking for someone in this way is not much different from finding a needle in a haystack; but Mather always felt that if one person was excluded who had never met Lin Sanjiu, one person would be missing. She found one person who had met Lin Sanjiu among the remaining people. If you have three drinks, the possibility is even higher.
"I haven't seen it before," a wrinkled-skinned old man glanced at the portrait in her hand with indifferent eyes, and answered so quickly that one even doubted whether he had seen it clearly.
Mother turned cold and said in a serious tone: "Look again, she is nearly 1.8 meters tall, very conspicuous."
This is an organization's recruitment fair 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 answers were all "never seen it" - no matter how positive her attitude was, she couldn't 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 you don't, don't delay my business."
Marthe pursed her lips, knowing that she couldn't ask anything else. Just when she turned 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", which immediately made her heart skip a beat: This kind of thing can attract people. It's the best time to inquire about the activities of a large number of evolvers.
However, when she quickly took a closer look, she couldn't help but be disappointed. It was a band's live performance, and it was actually last night, and she happened to miss it.
"Excuse me," Mather said with full of disappointment, and continued to ask the next person - no matter if the other person was a street vendor, a passerby, or an evolutionist who was preparing to apply for a job; whoever she could stop, she would Ask who. "Have you seen the person in the painting?"
While several other evolvers shook their heads and walked away, there was a short, fat man who squinted his eyes and looked at the poster carefully. "Hmm... I can't tell you where I've seen it before. I just think it looks familiar, as if I've seen it before."
"Really?" This was not the first time that Mather heard such an ambiguous answer. She had learned not to let herself have hope too early. "Can you recall what she was doing and what you were doing at that time? Maybe you can remember the location."
Fortunately, the short, fat man seemed to be quite warm-hearted. "I don't have a good 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, she didn't seem to be a bad person. There seemed to be people around her. Many friends...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, this is possible; but this short and fat man not only felt that Lin Sanjiu's picture looked familiar, he even pointed out that she was a very nice person and had many friends— —Isn’t 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."
"Isn't it okay with paper cranes?" the short, fat man asked while looking at the poster - as if he was trying to recall the place where he saw Lin Sanjiu.
Marthe gave a bitter smile and briefly mentioned a few methods that she 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. He looked around and saw that no one was paying attention. Then he whispered: "Well... 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 on. If you don't believe it, I won't pay you anything. How about I take it from you and pay me when I find someone?"
Marthe looked at him, still dubious.
"I don't even have to leave your side when I'm looking for someone. We act together and you can see everything I do clearly," the short, fat man said hurriedly. "I look for people based on my abilities and I'm not afraid of people. Look. In addition, I seem to have seen the target you are looking for, so this shouldn’t be difficult. When you find someone, I will simply make a fortune, and you and I will be happy... right?"
It was me who stopped him to inquire just now. If Mather hadn't walked over, the short and fat man would have gone away long ago. Besides, he repeatedly promised not to charge until he found Lin Sanjiu, which gave Mather a glimmer of hope: maybe this person was really capable and dared 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 are in the Karma world is a number that she doesn't want to think about at all; how long will it take to find out 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 became serious and said, "Are you really her friend? Are you not seeking revenge or trouble? Don't You blame me for asking more, because I have been touched by the power of karma a long time ago."
Marthe vaguely understood.
"If I helped you find this person~IndoMTL.com~ but you robbed and killed her, then some of the karma must be attributed to me." Chubby The man said: "What's more, she doesn't feel like a bad person to me. 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 rough outline and she couldn't see anything wrong. "I'm looking for her because I have a very important family member to me, and I need her help to escape from death and come back to me. I can't do this myself, I can only send I hope that she can complete this task for me... Not only will it not increase your karma, I think this is still a good deed."
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."
Mother 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."
