Chapter 876 It’s so Hard to Get over It
To be honest, Aries' appeal is very simple. The person in his heart already has a general outline, only missing a face.
But how could this face be so easy to find?
After all, Aries said "You can't use real-world faces," so where on earth are we going to create this face?
"Is that...cartoon character okay?" Jiang Ruoxue asked.
She seemed to be thinking about it with me. If I couldn't use a real face, I'm afraid only cartoon characters could do it.
"I rarely watch cartoons." Aries said, "Can you find them?"
I understand what Aries means. Even if it is a cartoon character made up out of thin air, Aries must see that face.
"We can go look for it for you," I said, "but the path you are taking is too rare. No one can guarantee success."
"I understand." Aries said, "Whether it works or not, I will remember this kindness."
Jiang Ruoxue and I said goodbye to Aries and began our journey to find "face".
Jiang Ruoxue came to see me this time. It would take a few days before she would be reborn and return to her room. We still have some time.
But how difficult is it to find a "face" in such a huge city...?
Especially a cartoon face that does not exist in the real world and is completely virtual.
We visited many nearby buildings that looked like residential buildings, and the search targets were mainly posters on the walls and bookshelves at home.
But every room here seems to have been ransacked. The walls are all cracked and burned. The paper products are so damaged that they are basically unrecognizable. I can barely find a few complete ones, and the cartoon patterns on them are also missing. It's just a simple drawing, using ordinary lines to describe the facial features. I substituted a living person's face, but it didn't match at all.
Just when we were at a loss what to do, I suddenly remembered that strange snake.
Although I haven’t read every book carefully, but thinking about it carefully, there should be comic books in the bookstore, right? Even if there are no comic books, there should be sketching or painting tutorial books, right? There should be completely fictitious human faces on them, maybe they can help Aries.
"Ruoxue, follow me."
I took her to Earth Snake's game ground, and happened to see several people crying in tears walking out of his place, followed closely by White Snake, who was also in tears.
Jiang Ruoxue was confused by this strange scene.
"What's going on?" she asked, "Why are so many people crying?"
"Uh... I can't say. I haven't been here for a long time."
Seeing White Snake reluctantly shaking hands with several people and saying goodbye, I felt outrageous. Could it be that a "mutual aid association" had been established? But why do everyone look so sad?
Isn’t this place a place to help people get over their sorrow?
Earth Snake turned around and saw me. He stretched out his hand to wipe his tears, then shook his head and said, "I should have said hello to you, but I'm in a bad mood now, so I won't stay with you."
"Wait... wait a moment..." I hurriedly walked forward and said, "Snake... I have something to ask you for help. It won't take too long..."
"Not now." Earth Snake said angrily, "I didn't expect to hear so many sad stories in one day. I'm in a very bad mood right now. Although... I still have to thank you, this stinky girl, for your idea to change the name to There were indeed a lot more people after the "Mutual Aid Association"..."
"Grief Mutual Aid Association...?" Jiang Ruoxue seemed to be suppressing a smile, squeezing out a few words from between her lips and teeth, "Is there a tragedy competition?"
"You..." Di Snake glanced at Jiang Ruoxue, and then sighed deeply, "What do you know, you stinky girl... It's really easy to listen to other people's sad stories... I'm going to cry for a while now, no one else Take care of me."
"No...!" Jiang Ruoxue also hurriedly walked forward and said, "White Snake, is this a bookstore here? Are there any books?"
"Yes." White Snake nodded.
"Can you lend us a copy?"
"No." White Snake said.
"Eh...?" Jiang Ruoxue was stunned.
"This won't work." I interjected from the side. "I have dealt with him, and he is unwilling to lend his books out."
"Then we only need one page?" Jiang Ruoxue asked again.
"Stinky girl, if you can't do it, you can't do it. Even if you only need a dime, you can't do it." White Snake said, "If you want me to lend you the book, you have to join my "mutual aid club" and come and share sad stories with me every day. Otherwise just leave. I'm in a really bad mood and don't want to argue with you. "
Although Jiang Ruoxue and I were both seeing the "Mutual Aid Association" after it was formed for the first time, seeing the way a few people were crying when they left just now, we also knew that this place was not suitable for the two of us.
"Wait a minute, wait a minute..." Jiang Ruoxue scratched her head, "Snake, do you think this will work... Although we can't join your "mutual aid club", I can give you some other help. "
"Other help...?"
Jiang Ruoxue nodded slightly after hearing this: "You found a way to form such a strange organization by yourself, which means you are a very kind person, right?"
"It's not really kind, but this organization is really important to me." Earth Snake said.
"No matter what, it's amazing to me that you are willing to listen to other people's sad stories." Jiang Ruoxue added, "So I thought of a way to help you end your sadness."
"End...sorrow?"
"Hmm!" Jiang Ruoxue nodded, "I won't tell this method to ordinary people. After all, it is my secret. If you want to hear it, you need to give us a sketch book. Deal?"
I think I have said it more than once... I really admire Jiang Ruoxue.
After listening, Dishe thought for a while, and then asked with a little doubt: "Can you really help me end my sadness?"
Jiang Ruoxue did not answer, but stretched out her hand and spread it forward: "Book."
White Snake was silent for a moment, nodded: "You wait."
He walked into the bookstore and began to search, while Jiang Ruoxue and I stood outside the door waiting. After a while, Dishe's voice came from the house: "There are no sketch books... Can comic books be?"
"Yes!" Jiang Ruoxue answered outside the house.
After a while, Dishe walked out of the store with a palm-sized comic book in his hand. The packaging of this comic book looks very old, called "20th Century Boys".
"This is it, okay?" He handed the book to Jiang Ruoxue.
"Okay." Jiang Ruoxue nodded after taking the book, and then handed it to me.
I flipped through the book briefly and found that the characters on it were different from the common comics. They were a little more realistic. I hope it can help Aries.
"Tell me how to stop sadness." The Earth Snake said sadly.
"Fool..." Jiang Ruoxue smiled evilly, "Listen carefully, if you feel sad... you can try to die."
I was shocked after hearing this, thinking that the White Snake would suddenly attack and kill us both in the next second, but he was just slightly stunned after hearing it, and then slowly nodded.
"That makes sense..." The corners of his mouth gradually widened, "If I feel sad, I can die! It's so right!"
