Angel walked through the sky bridges spanning high-rise buildings, and walked to the train platform in the South Third District under the changing reflections of neon lights.
At the moment he stepped onto the platform, the train arrived.
A man wearing orange functional goggles got out of the car and came to the bridge map on the platform. He looked left and right, as if confirming the route.
However, before he could confirm the route, he felt someone behind him tap his shoulder lightly.
He turned around in confusion and before he could see who it was, he heard a voice coming from his ear: "Let's talk in the car."
"ah?"
The man with goggles was stunned for a moment, then saw the young man who spoke turning around and walking towards the train he had just gotten off the platform on.
"You are Minister Lizi who asked me to find you..."
"That's right, it's me. Get in the car first, otherwise you'll have to wait for the next one."
The man in the goggles was still a little confused at this time and did not understand the situation. He subconsciously followed his words and replied: "But...but, my ticket has been punched."
"Don't worry, just follow me. You don't need a ticket this time."
In the goggles man's surprise, they successfully boarded the train around the city. This time, the conductor did not ask him to check the ticket, and did not even look at him, as if he did not exist!
After he got on the train in a daze, he looked at the young man next to him: "That was..."
"Don't worry, it's just a little illusion to cover up."
"Is it fashion magic?!" curiosity flashed in the eyes of the man with goggles.
"That's understandable..."
There is no doubt that the two people sitting in the train at this time are Angel and the staff of Modern Broadcasting Station.
From his inquiries and emotional feedback, Angel could determine that this person was probably an ordinary person, but he had a certain understanding of the magical world.
This is normal, Modern Broadcasting Station is affiliated to the Fashion Association.
The Fengshi Guild itself serves magicians, and it is reasonable for him to understand the magic world.
Faced with his curiosity, Angel was very patient and chatted with him about fashion magic.
I politely asked for his name.
The main reason for asking for the name was to confirm whether he was an NPC with a story. But obviously, this kind of NPC with a story is rare. The other party reported his real name and even took out his work ID, but Angel didn't see it.
NPC information appears.
Although the other person was not a male classmate with a story, Angel didn't mind and chatted with him all the way from getting on the bus to getting off the bus.
I have to say that it is also a very interesting perspective to look at the modern city and the world of fashion magic from the perspective of an ordinary person.
After he got off the car, Angel took out a paper bag from his arms.
What was in this paper bag was the letter from Wu Lulu that he brought out from Modern Broadcasting Station.
Now, it depends on whether this letter can be used as physical evidence.
Angel unsealed the paper bag and took out the letter inside.
The envelope has not been opened yet and looks quite new, with no sign of moisture.
There is no signature on the outside, but in the middle it says: To the program group of Jieyou Mailbox.
I am crooked and immature.
Although Angel has obtained the letter, the information in the text column has not changed. It is still "Physical Evidence (0/1)].
Angel was not in a hurry, he tore open the envelope bit by bit and carefully took out the fragile letter paper inside.
As the letter unfolded, the same childish handwriting appeared in front of Angel.
It was at this time that the information on the text column began to slowly become blurred.
In the blink of an eye, Angel blinked, and "Physical Evidence (0/1)] turned into "Physical Evidence (1/1)].
Seeing this scene, Angel's eyes flashed with satisfaction; indeed, the letter Wu Lulu sent to the Jieyou mailbox column team was also regarded as physical evidence!
Although Angel personally speculates that there may be more than one piece of physical evidence, just like a confession, it can also be obtained from different people and different locations.
But that doesn't matter.
The mission goal only requires one physical evidence, just find it, and don’t ask for more or more.
As for the "witness", Angel guessed, there should be only one.
And if nothing unexpected happened, that person should be an old acquaintance.
…
At that time, when Angel asked Wu Lulu, when she was seven or eight years old, she had met anyone who had profound memories for her or who could use magic.
After Wu Lulu thought for a moment, she nodded slightly: "Although I can't remember many things from my childhood, there is one person... who left a deep impression on me."
"And, over the years, I have dreamed about him from time to time."
Upon hearing this, Angel immediately asked: "Who is he?"
Wu Lulu shook her head: "I don't know his name either. I just remember that he was a somewhat unkempt middle-aged uncle, a bit like a homeless man."
"Tramp?" Angel was stunned.
Wu Lulu nodded and told the story of this "tramp".
This incident happened when she was about seven years old. At that time, her father Wu Luoluo was hospitalized due to a leg injury, and Supa also died. Slusha had to take care of her husband, but also worried that Wu Luolu would do something crazier.
So he sent his younger brother to his grandparents' house in a nearby town.
Wu Lulu lives at home alone with her nanny. She lives very lonely every day.
Coincidentally, Supa's death filled her heart with self-blame and guilt. Coupled with her parents' incomprehension and neighbors' secret discussions, she collapsed.
At that time, she even had the idea of using her own life to atone for Supa's sin.
One night, her inner self-blame reached its peak, and then she secretly left the house while the nanny was resting.
She climbed to the top of the Platinum Building and wanted to jump off.
It was at this time that she met the "tramp".
The other party was originally sitting on the roof of the building, seeming to come to see the scenery. When Wu Lulu came here, he set his sights on Wu Lulu.
Moreover, he kept staring at himself.
Wu Lulu was a little frightened by his stare, but then she thought about it. She had come here to seek death, and there seemed to be no difference between jumping from here and being killed by a homeless man.
Thinking of this, Wu Lulu stared back boldly, then ignored the homeless man and walked to the edge step by step.
Looking at the high hollow below and the bottomless darkness, Wu Lulu felt dizzy.
Originally she still had the courage to jump, but at this moment, she was a little scared.
Just when Wu Lulu was hesitating, the homeless man's voice came from behind. He asked Wu Lulu what he wanted to do.
Wu Lulu didn't want to answer at first, but thinking that she was going to die soon and no one knew the cause of her death, it seemed a bit sad.
Her death was not only to atone Supa's sins, but also to make her parents and neighbors who secretly talk about her every day feel guilty.
"It's ridiculous to give up your life just to make others feel guilty." The tramp sighed: "Besides, guilt won't last a lifetime. How long can they feel guilty? Two days, three days? Or a week? After that,
Then no one will remember you."
Wu Lulu is young, but not stupid.
She could understand what the tramp meant, but she couldn't help it. Because she had nothing, the only thing she could threaten was life.
Tramp: "Well, if you want to die, I won't stop you. But you might as well tell me why you want to die. In this case, after you die, I can tell your parents and even more people.
, in this case, at least your name will be remembered by more people, and your grievances will be spread for a longer time."
After hearing this, Wu Lulu was also convinced.
Thinking of this, Wu Lulu told the homeless man what happened to her.
"...Mom said I was sick, but I wasn't sick at all. Moreover, no one believed me. I obviously just locked up Supa for a day..."
Wu Lulu said while crying, many things she said were very vague.
But the tramp didn't mind, and just kept listening silently. After a long time, after Wu Lulu finished speaking, the tramp said, "I can understand your grievances."
Wu Lulu was stunned.
The homeless man smiled and said: "Well, let me tell you a story..."
When Wu Lulu told this point, she stopped. Angel asked curiously: "What story did he tell?"
Wu Lulu shook her head: "It's been so long ago that I can't recall any memory at all. I just vaguely remember that it seemed to be a very beautiful fairy tale, very sunny and warm, like a leisurely sleep in the summer afternoon, very
Comfortable."
After telling the story, the homeless man told Wu Lulu: "In the next week, he will watch the scenery on the roof every day. If Wu Lulu still wants to hear the story, she can come to him at the same time."
After saying that, the tramp left.
Wu Lulu wanted to chase him, but as soon as she turned around, the homeless man disappeared, as if he had teleported.
At that time, Wu Lulu thought she had met a fairy from a fairy tale, and her heart was full of expectations.
"I no longer make noises about jumping off buildings. Every night, I go to the roof on time to meet the homeless man. He tells me a story every night. I have forgotten the content of all the stories, but the tone is warm and sunny.
After listening to the stories he told, I slept very peacefully at night."
"The troubles that bother me, my parents' misunderstandings, and the neighbors' comments can no longer affect me..."
"That's it, I told the story for seven days in a row."
Angel: "What happens next?"
Wu Lulu shook her head: "There is no future. The tramp only stayed for seven days, and left after telling stories every day. I couldn't catch up every time, and he really disappeared like a god."
"Seven days later, he never came again, and I never saw him again."
"I can only dream about him occasionally."
To say that the person Wu Lulu remembered the most during that period was undoubtedly the homeless man. His daily stories not only warmed the sun, but also relieved Wu Lulu's worries, making her never think about it again.
"Jumped off the building".
"I was too young at that time, there was nothing behind me, and the only thing I could offer was my life, so I always wanted to threaten death. But now that I think about it, it was really childish." Wu Lulu: "So
, I am very grateful to him, he saved me at that time. Without him, I might have committed suicide."
From Wu Lulu's point of view, this homeless man is the person she remembers most deeply; but from Angel's point of view, this person doesn't seem to be a "witness" at the moment.
Wu Lulu's so-called inability to catch up with the opponent does not prove that the opponent is a "god". It is also possible that it is simply because of her long legs.
After all, Wu Lulu was only seven years old at the time, so it was normal for her not to be able to catch up with adults.
Angel thought for a moment and asked Wu Lulu: "Then can you still remember what he looks like?"
Wu Lulu nodded: "I can generally remember."
While talking, Wu Lulu walked to the cabinet nearby and took out a piece of paper and pen: "Are you interested in him? I probably remember what he looks like, and I will draw it for you."
Angel: "Can you draw?"
Wu Lulu hummed: "Who are you looking down on? I will become a professional fashion designer in the future. Painting is a basic course for our major!"
As she spoke, Wu Lulu began to scribble on the paper.
Her sketching skills are very strong, and in just a few minutes, an outline came out.
The moment the appearance appeared, Angel already felt vaguely familiar, and when the facial features took shape, there was a sudden rumble in Angel's mind, like spring thunder.
Because, this face...he knew it.
Angel asked Wu Lulu to stop painting first. In Wu Lulu's confused eyes, Angel snapped his fingers. In an instant, the surrounding illusion nodes gathered to form an old portrait.
When she saw the person in the illusion clearly, Wu Lulu stood up almost immediately: "That's him! Yes, it's him!"
"Although I look a little older now and my hair is a lot grayer, the outline of my facial features has not changed!"
"Even this sloppy temperament is exactly the same as back then!"
"Do you know him? Who is he?"
Wu Lulu looked at Angel excitedly, with surprise in her eyes. Although she didn't know why the illusion appeared, but if Angel could create the illusion of this person, does that mean she had seen him?
After Angel was silent for a moment, he said: "His name is...Zuniga."
…
Zuniga.
Yes, it was Zuniga who told Wu Lulu the story for seven consecutive days.
Previously, Angel had some doubts that the "witness" might not be a homeless man, but when he confirmed that the homeless man was Zuniga, he no longer had any doubts in his mind.
Who is Zuniga?
Angel believes that he is one of the major hidden figures in Modern City! He may even be the strongest hidden NPC.
Even though he looks like a sloppy beggar, he is definitely the top fashion magician.
If Wu Lulu's "illness" is really related to the supernatural, then the person who can cure her must be a powerful magician. Zuniga is definitely qualified!
Therefore, Angel now has a 90% probability of confirming that Zuniga is the one who cured Wu Lulu, and he is the most important "witness"!
Therefore, Angel returned to the platform immediately after bidding farewell to Wu Lulu.
Although he has determined in his heart that Zuniga is most likely a "witness", the judgment mechanism of random tasks is very materialistic. Just like he just got the "envelope" sent by Wu Lulu to Jieyou's mailbox, it will not be judged as physical evidence.
.Be sure to open the envelope and take out the letter written by Wu Lulu before it can be judged as physical evidence.
In the same way, Angel also needs to see Zuniga in person, and may even have to communicate with him before he can confirm that he is a "human witness."
At this time, Zuniga is in the West 15th District!
