Chapter 769 Birds of a Feather Flock Together

Liu Dongli disappeared again.

After a day of phone calls, Huaishi finally confirmed this at around nine o'clock in the evening.

To be precise, I learned from the Sheng Tianmu family: Miss Lihua had gone out yesterday and has not come back yet.

I don’t answer calls, I don’t reply when I send WeChat messages, I can’t find a place when I look for it, just like a bad guy who suddenly said that he had to go on a business trip due to official duties, and he was with his beautiful female boss, but he only booked one room with a limited budget...

"What the hell is this bastard doing?"

Huai Shi held her phone and got angry.

"Oh, 'What does the time jumper want to do?' This is one of the top ten difficult questions in the world. It is probably second only to 'What is my girlfriend thinking'?"

Tongji clicked her tongue and sighed: "I'm afraid he is avoiding you.

After all, he is a time jumper. If he wants to find someone, he can always find a way. In other words, if he doesn't want to be found, I'm afraid it will be in vain no matter how much time you spend.

Once you enter that state for a long time, your thinking will gradually become different from that of ordinary people. You'd better not take it for granted. "

Just like a painter sees the world differently from ordinary people, a musician will be more sensitive to sound.

This is the difference that comes after a long period of immersion.

Ordinary people's thinking relies on the senses, and the senses are limited by the person's own body structure and cognition. There is no way to break through the ordinary framework and think about the world in the eyes of a time jumper.

It is impossible to get close to their thinking.

When the continuity of time is interrupted, the cause and effect that ordinary people rely on will also be clear from a bird's-eye view. Among the countless intricate changes, no one knows where the node Liu Dongli is focusing on, nor where he is. What kind of results are you seeking?

Perhaps, he has already been lost in this endless cycle...

'Time jump' and 'changing the future' are always two different things.

For a long time, the time jumpers of the Rainbow Bridge have been facing a ironic paradox - the more they want to change, the more they consume.

If an incident is not serious enough to require a time jump, then there is no need to make a time jump and pay more costs.

But if something is so serious that it can no longer be undone, time jumping again will probably not be useful.

Three feet of ice cannot be frozen in one day.

Even if we have an extra day in the sun, avalanches are still unavoidable.

No matter how many times you go back, you can't change the tide just by Liu Dongli's efforts as a fish...

"Reality is not a game, Huaishi. Even if cheating can solve the problem, I have never heard that cheating can lead to HAPPYEND."

Tong Ji said pitifully: "Even if it is a miracle, there are things that cannot be changed."

"As a result, after suddenly dumping the alliance's affairs on me as if it were a mess, he just slapped his butt and walked away?"

Huai Shi slapped the table and was furious: "What the hell is this? Do you want me to try my best to call on everyone to pray for him, hoping that he will be okay?"

Tong Ji said nothing.

Just looked at him sympathetically.

Until he fell silent again.

In fact, if Liu Dongli could shirk the blame and accept treatment obediently, Huaishi would feel more relaxed.

But will he really escape?

In other words, will that guy come back from the dead end?

They say birds of a feather flock together.

How could Huaishi not know what was going on in that bald head?

I'm sure he'll show off even when he's about to die.

Come on man, I'll do what I have to do.

The rest is up to you——

In the silence, Huaishi suddenly felt lonely and uneasy.

When Liu Dongli entrusted his great trust in his hands, Huaishi finally felt personally the fear and confusion he had experienced...

"Tong Ji."

Huai Shi leaned on the chair tiredly and suddenly said softly, "If I fail completely here and lose everything, will you be disappointed in me?"

"Maybe, I don't like people who don't overestimate their abilities." Tong Ji looked into his eyes and asked curiously: "But Huai Shi, even if you fail in the end, will you regret everything you have done now?"

Huaishi didn't answer.

Then, Tongji laughed softly, so happily.

"Very good, Huai Shi, you are indeed the best contractor in the world."

As the phantom of the flying bird dissipated, a pair of gentle palms touched his cheek, hugged him behind and made a gentle announcement.

"Just go ahead and do it, Huai Shi."

She said, "No matter what the outcome is, I will bear witness to you as you bear witness to me."

This was the original agreement between them.

.

The signpost was touched again.

——【31】

.

In the morning, I cleaned the entire living room before opening the door; at noon, I was responsible for passing the dishes. After Miss Tomoko stayed to help, the task became to deliver takeout and deliver lunch set meals to the vicious-looking yakuza uncles; in the afternoon At that time, the landlady would teach me about knife skills and cooking skills, and I had to study hard. When night came, I found that the roof started leaking again, so I volunteered to climb up to the house carrying wooden boards and tools.

After quickly replacing the broken board and repairing all the lower parts, Maki put down the hammer with satisfaction and wiped her sweat.

He crossed his arms proudly for a while.

It's on the third floor of the izakaya.

As the sun sets in the distance, the entire desolate urban area seems to be covered with a layer of dim brilliance. The sound of children crying can be heard in the distance, and scattered lights are on in the dilapidated apartment buildings.

"It always seems a little deserted." She sighed softly.

"Hey, Maki, come down quickly, don't be in a daze!"

Behind the house, Tomoko looked up at the girl above her who was about the same age as herself, and shouted loudly: "It's very dangerous, get down first..."

"Don't worry, it's small things, Tomoko, be careful."

Maki waved her hand nonchalantly, picked up the tool box, and walked toward the ladder with the wooden planks between her arms.

Then, his foot slipped.

Why is there a pair of pliers here?

Oh, yes, it seems I lost it...

The world was spinning, and before Maki could react, she had already fallen into the ground in the backyard.

There was a bang.

Tomoko was stunned and subconsciously rushed up to check. As soon as she took a step forward, she saw that the tool box on the roof also fell down and hit Maki's head, knocking the girl who had just gotten up down again.

Then there are the wooden planks piled on the edge of the roof...

and ladders.

It was like a scene from some animation. Chain reactions continued, and the backyard was instantly in a mess.

"Ah, so today's bad luck is here..."

In the dust, Maki opened her eyes, coughed, and got up. Tomoko next to her was already stunned.

Although in the past few days, I have known that Maki often has bad luck, but it is so outrageous that it can only be compared to the time when she encountered a gas pipe explosion while walking on the street a few days ago, right?

"Maki, are you... okay?"

"Ahem, I'm fine. I'm fine. Don't worry. I'll take care of this place."

"We'll talk about cleaning up later. It's more important to see if there are any wounds first, right?"

Tomoko moved the ladders and planks away, only to realize that although he looked very embarrassed, in fact he only had a twisted foot and not even a break in his body.

It's just copper skin and iron bones.

"How outrageous..."

Tomoko was stunned, "I always feel like you are the kind of person who can swim back to shore on his own even if he is thrown into the Pacific Ocean!"

"That's too outrageous and impossible to do."

Maki waved her hands awkwardly: "The last time the ship crashed, I was almost dying just from swimming back to Kyushu from the Goto Islands... Oh, thank you for meeting Uncle Takahashi at the port, otherwise I don't know what to do. ”

Tomoko was dumbfounded and felt strange from the bottom of her heart.

They are both mixed species, so the gap is not as big as usual...

Seeing that Maki had already started to pack up the things on the ground in disgrace, she shook her head hard and pulled her up: "Anyway, let's take a shower first. We'll talk about the things in the yard tomorrow!"

After more than half an hour, Maki finally finished cleaning up and put on Tomoko's clothes. After blow-drying her hair, she became full of energy again.

"I really envy you. It seems like you will never run out of strength."

Tomoko pinched the edges of the muscles on her arms and her firm, flat belly, and her expression became helpless: "I can't even run a few steps now, and I still have to pant when I go upstairs."

"Because I used to be in the track and field club. Tomoko, you are a literary girl, so don't worry about it."

Maki grinned and walked to the kitchen to get ready to work.

Just when I was passing by the front desk, my eyes were attracted by the person in front of the door.

The old woman who came to visit with a smile on her face was holding the landlady's hand and talking enthusiastically. The landlady dealt with it helplessly, but refused to listen no matter what she said.

"What does that person do?" Maki asked in a low voice.

"The grandma from the Japanese confectionery shop across the street seems to have joined a mutual aid group nearby. She has become like a salesman. She has been wasting other people's time by coming to her door every day in the past few days, and she doesn't listen to anything she says."

Tomoko shrugged helplessly.

But when the old woman saw Tomoko coming down, her smile became more and more enthusiastic, and she wanted to bypass the landlady and go this way. It wasn't until the landlady stopped her and said a few words with a serious look on her face that she was stunned for a moment and left.

Before leaving, he just put a bottle of medicine on the counter and encouraged Tomoko to study hard from a distance before turning around and leaving.

Watching her walk away, the landlady sighed helplessly, picked up the medicine bottle from the table, and shook it. There were a few pills inside, but there were no trademarks or ingredients on the outside.

It looks strangely powerful.

"What is this?" Maki stepped forward curiously.

"It is said to be an analgesic that can alleviate the complications of those with lycanthropic characteristics, but there is no label or instructions..."

The landlady shook her head, sighed, and soon came to her senses. She turned around and said to Maki seriously: "Maki, you have to be careful. If you feel uncomfortable, remember to tell me not to take medicine of unknown origin. You still need a doctor for this kind of thing. You can only use it according to the doctor’s instructions after you have prescribed it!”

"Ah, don't worry, Aunt Omi, I've always been in good health."

Maki laughed and made a strong gesture. Omi gave her a suspicious look and warned her repeatedly, making sure that she would not be foolish enough to take some medicine of unknown origin before he felt relieved.

Next, there are a lot of things waiting for Maki such as wiping the table, clearing the counter, etc...

It seems that all the helpers and apprentices in the store have resigned recently, and many things have fallen on her. However, correspondingly, wages have also increased a lot.

During the break of work, Maki turned around for the last time, glanced at the medicine bottle that the landlady threw into the trash can, and couldn't help but sneeze.

weird smell.

It's like a stew that's been sitting there for a long time... Even if it makes you hungry, eating it will definitely spoil your stomach, right?

"Maki, come here and chop vegetables." A voice called from the kitchen.

"Okay, okay!"

Maki turned around and trotted towards the kitchen.

Completely unaware of the increasingly weird atmosphere on the street, for Maki, it was still a busy, fulfilling and eatable day.

As the twilight gradually fades, dark clouds gradually appear in the sky, and faint thunder can be heard in the distance.

Not long after, heavy rain poured down.

The thick curtain of rain and loud noise obscured the fire rising in the distance.
