Yoo Dong-ri had disappeared again.
After a day of phone calls, Huai Shi finally confirmed this point at nine o 'clock in the evening.
To be exact, he learned from Sheng Tianmu's family that Miss Li Hua had gone out yesterday and hadn't returned yet.
He didn't pick up his calls, didn't reply to his WeChat messages, and couldn't find her anywhere. It was like a man who suddenly said that he had to go on a business trip with a beautiful female boss, but due to limited budget, he only booked one room …
"What the hell is this bastard doing?"
Huai Shi held his phone and was angry.
"Oh, 'What the hell does the time jumper want to do?' This is one of the top ten difficult questions in the world. The difficulty is probably second only to 'What is your girlfriend thinking?'"
Tongi sighed. "He's probably hiding from you.
After all, he's a time jumper. If he wants to find someone, he always has a way. In other words, if he doesn't want to be found, I'm afraid that no matter how much time you spend, it will be a waste of effort.
Once you enter that state for a long time, your thinking will gradually become different from ordinary people. You'd better not take it for granted. "
It was like the world in the eyes of a painter was different from ordinary people, and musicians were more sensitive to sound.
This was the difference brought about by a long time of immersion.
Ordinary people's thinking relied on their senses, and their senses were limited by their own body structure and cognition. They couldn't break through the ordinary framework to think about the world in the eyes of a time jumper.
They couldn't get close to their thinking.
When the continuity of time was interrupted, the cause and effect that ordinary people relied on would be clear at a glance. In the countless intricate changes, no one knew where the node Yoo Dong-ri was focusing on was, and no one knew what kind of result he was looking for.
Perhaps, he had long since lost himself in this endless cycle …
'Time jumping' and 'changing the future' had always been two different things.
All along, the time jumpers of Bifrost had been facing a paradox full of ridicule — the more they wanted to change, the more they would consume.
If a matter wasn't serious enough to require a time jump, then there was no need to make a time jump and pay a higher price.
However, if a matter had already reached a point where it could no longer be salvaged, it would most likely be useless even if one were to use another time jump.
Rome wasn't built in a day.
Even if they basked in the sun for one more day, the avalanche was still unavoidable.
With Yoo Dong-ri's efforts alone, no matter how many times he went back, he would not be able to change the tide …
"Reality isn't a game, Huai Shi. Even if cheating can solve the problem, I've never heard of a happy ending by cheating. “
Tongi said with pity, "Even if it's a miracle, there are things that can't be changed."
"In the end, he suddenly threw the matter of the alliance to me like it was a mess, and then he patted his butt and left?"
Huai Shi slammed the table, unable to restrain his anger. "What kind of f * cking logic is this? Do I have to work hard to gather everyone to pray for him and hope that he'll be fine?"
Tongi did not say anything.
He just looked at him sympathetically.
Until he fell silent again.
In fact, if Yoo Dong-ri could just leave and obediently receive treatment, Huai Shi would feel more at ease.
But would he really escape?
In other words, would that guy turn back from the path of death?
It was said that birds of a feather flocked together.
How could Huai Shi not know what the bald man was thinking in his head?
He would definitely pretend to be cool even when he was about to die.
Come on, brother, I'll do what I have to do.
I'll leave the rest to you —
In the silence, Huai Shi suddenly felt a burst of loneliness and uneasiness.
When Yoo Dong-ri entrusted him with great trust, Huai Shi finally felt the fear and confusion he had experienced before …
"Tongi."
Huai Shi leaned on the chair tiredly and suddenly whispered, "If I finally fail completely here and lose everything, will you be disappointed in me?"
"Maybe, I don't like people who overestimate themselves." Tongi looked at his eyes and asked curiously, "But Huai Shi, even if you fail in the end, will you regret everything you've done now?"
Huai Shi did not answer.
So, Tongi chuckled softly, so happy.
"Very good, Huai Shi, you really are the best contractor in the world."
With the disappearance of the flying bird, a pair of gentle hands stroked his cheeks, hugged him from behind, and softly declared.
"Just do it, Huai Shi."
She said, "No matter what the result is, I will bear witness to you, just like you bear witness to me."
That was the initial agreement between them.
.
The road sign was activated again.

.
In the morning, he had to clean up the living room before opening the door. At noon, he was responsible for delivering food. After Ms. Tomoko stayed behind to help, his task became delivering takeout. He had to deliver lunch to the Yakuza uncles who looked very fierce. In the afternoon, the lady boss would teach him knife skills and cooking skills, so he had to study hard. When it was almost night time, he found that the roof began to leak again, so he volunteered to carry wooden planks and tools and climb up to the roof.
After quickly replacing the wooden planks and mending the bottom, Makoto put down the hammer in satisfaction and wiped the sweat off her forehead.
She proudly put her hands on her hips.
On the roof of the Izakaya's third floor.
As the sun gradually set in the distance, the entire city seemed to be covered in a layer of dim glory. The sound of children crying could be heard in the distance, and scattered lights in the shabby apartment building lit up.
"It looks a bit lonely." She sighed softly.
"Hey, Maki, come down, don't be in a daze!"
Behind the house, Tomoko looked up at the girl who was about the same age as her and shouted: "It's dangerous, come down first …"
"Don't worry, it's nothing, Tomoko, be careful."
Maki waved her hand indifferently, picked up the toolbox, and walked towards the ladder with the planks.
Then, she slipped.
'Why is there a pair of pliers here?
Oh, right, I think I dropped it … '
The world was spinning, and before Shin could react, she had already fallen into the ground in the backyard.
There was a loud bang.
Satoko was stunned. Subconsciously, she rushed up to take a look. However, as soon as she took a step forward, she saw the toolbox on the roof fall down and hit Makoto's head. Makoto, who had just gotten up, fell down again.
And then there were the planks piled up on the edge of the roof …
And the ladder.
It was like a scene from a cartoon. The chain reaction continued, and the backyard was instantly in a mess.
"Ah, so this is where today's bad luck comes from …"
In the dust, Maki opened her eyes, coughed, and got up. Next to him, Tomoko was already stunned.
Although she already knew that Maki's bad luck would often be off the charts in the past few days, but for it to be this ridiculous, it could only be compared to a few days ago when a gas pipe exploded while walking on the street.
"Maki, are … are you alright?"
"Ahem, I'm fine, I'm fine, don't worry, I'll clean this place up."
"Let's talk about that later, isn't it more important to check if there are any wounds first?"
Tomoko moved the ladder and planks away, and found that although she looked terrible, she only twisted her ankle a little, and there wasn't even a single wound on her body.
She had copper skin and iron bones.
"That's ridiculous …"
Tomoko was stunned, "I always feel like you're the kind of person who can swim back to shore by yourself after being thrown into the Pacific Ocean!"
"That's too ridiculous, it's impossible."
Maki waved her hand awkwardly, "When the ship crashed last time, I almost couldn't swim back to Kyushu from the five islands … Oh, fortunately, I met uncle Takahashi at the port, otherwise, I don't know what to do."
Tomoko was stunned, and she felt that it was ridiculous from the bottom of her heart.
They were both mixed-race, but the gap between them was so huge …
Seeing that Maki had begun to clean up the things on the ground, she shook her head hard and pulled her up, "Anyway, go take a shower first. We'll talk about the things in the yard tomorrow! "
Half an hour later, Maki, who had finally finished cleaning up, changed into Tomoko's clothes, and dried her hair. She was full of vitality again.
"I really envy you, it seems like you'll never run out of strength."
Tomoko pinched the corners of her muscles on her arms and her firm and flat belly, and looked helpless, "I can't even run a few steps now, and I have to pant when going upstairs."
"Do you think I used to be in the track and field club? Tomoko, you're a literary girl, don't worry about it."
Maki grinned and went to the kitchen to prepare for work.
But when she passed by the front desk, her eyes were attracted by the person in front of the door.
An old woman came to visit with a smile on her face, holding the hand of the proprietress and saying something enthusiastically. The proprietress responded helplessly, but she didn't listen to her no matter what.
"What does that person do?" Maki whispered.
"The granny in the fruit shop across the street seems to have joined a nearby fraternity recently, and she became like a salesperson. In the past few days, she came every day to waste people's time, and she didn't listen to me no matter what."
Tomoko shrugged helplessly.
But when the old woman saw Tomoko come down, her smile became more enthusiastic, and she wanted to go around the proprietress. Until the proprietress stopped her and said a few words with a serious expression, she was stunned for a moment and left embarrassedly.
Before she left, she put a bottle of medicine on the counter and encouraged Tomoko to study hard from afar before she turned around and left.
After watching her leave, the proprietress sighed helplessly, picked up the medicine bottle from the table, and shook it. There were a few pills in the bottle, but there was no label or ingredients on the outside.
It looked strange.
"What is this?" Maki curiously went up to the bottle.
"It says it's a painkiller, and it can alleviate the complications of animal characteristics, but there isn't even a label or an instruction manual …"
The proprietress shook her head and sighed, and then she came to a realization. She turned around and said to Maki seriously, "Maki, you have to be careful. If you feel uncomfortable, remember to tell me. Don't take medicine of unknown origin. This kind of medicine can only be used according to the doctor's instructions after the doctor has opened the kitchen! "
"Ah, Auntie Jinjiang, don't worry, I've always been in good health."
Makhi laughed and struck a pose of strength. Jinjiang looked at her suspiciously, and reminded her again and again. After making sure that she wouldn't be stupid enough to take medicine of unknown origin, she was relieved.
After that, she wiped the table, cleaned the counter, and so on. There was still a lot of work waiting for Maki …
Recently, all the helpers and apprentices in the shop seemed to have resigned, and a lot of work fell on her. However, those who responded to her request had their salaries increased by a lot.
In between work, Maki turned around and looked at the medicine bottle that the proprietress had thrown into the trash can. She couldn't help but sneeze.
What a strange smell.
It was like a stew that had been left out for a long time … Even if it could fill her stomach, wouldn't it give her a stomachache?
"Maki, come and cut the vegetables." A voice called out from the kitchen.
"Okay, okay!"
Maki turned around and ran to the kitchen.
She didn't notice the strange atmosphere on the street at all. For Maki, it was still a busy day with plenty to eat.
As the twilight gradually faded, dark clouds gradually appeared in the sky, and faint thunder could be heard in the distance.
Not long after, a heavy rain poured down.
The heavy curtain of rain and the loud noise covered the rising flames in the distance.
