Chapter 133 Double Memories
Day 11 of the road survival game!
"I remember once overhearing a chef in the kitchen of the restaurant talking on the phone about asking someone to buy a poster signed by Chris. He was asking for two months' salary. I was really shocked at the time."
Later, when my brother came back to China for vacation and we had dinner together, I told him that I didn't know being a celebrity made so much money. I wondered where I could get an autograph from a big star. I said that selling a few of those autographs would be enough to cover my mortgage payments for a year.
Not long after, before my brother's vacation was even over, he gave me a bag of movie posters that had been mailed back from abroad and signed them. I took one to show my chef friend, and he said it was definitely genuine, and he even bought a few more from me.
Later, I asked him to sell the rest, which made me a fortune. I remember it very well. Later, whenever I saw news related to her, I subconsciously remembered it..." Feng Xingshou replied.
However, she didn't mention that after confirming the autographed posters were genuine, she felt that the big star might have a connection with her brother's workplace or be an acquaintance with him, which allowed her to obtain so many autographed posters so quickly.
She subconsciously pays attention to things related to the other person. In addition, she has a fan colleague who is also a fan of hers. She can hear and remember all kinds of things about her from her colleague, such as what movies she has made, her exposed family and friends relationships, etc., which makes her remember them well.
Even if she didn't answer, after hearing this, Hagiwara imagined how classmates would talk endlessly about their idols, wanting to share everything about them with the whole world. He then understood how she knew so much about Vermouth.
Now that he knew she hadn't dealt with the person who clearly betrayed his future brother-in-law's organization because of him, and wouldn't be used or deceived by her, Hagiwara naturally stopped caring about Vermouth.
Instead, while driving, he carefully asked, "Okay, now that we've communicated like this, we have a more precise understanding of the timing of the next instance. Do you think we should check before March 14th, or after March 14th?"
"Before!"
"March 12th or 13th." Upon hearing his question, Matsuda and Morofushi made the same choice almost in unison.
Upon hearing this, Feng Xingshou secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She also felt that it would be better to go to the time before the suspected CEO of the Bei Group died. Just as she had previously speculated, it was highly likely that the US and Japanese governments would first take care of all the people in the organization that they could win over and subdue.
They only take action against the organization when they feel they have no chance of success. As a result, the brother of the organization's leader, who is either the second or third in command, will naturally be targeted when the authorities deal with the organization. Therefore, it is best to go there before the CEO of that group dies.
It's highly likely that the US and Japanese governments hadn't yet launched a full-scale crackdown on the organization at that time, so my brother should still be safe, unless they targeted him beforehand to weaken the organization's resistance, just like they did with the CEO...
Before there is concrete evidence, there are too many possibilities, but what she is most worried about is that Officer Sang, who is an enemy of crime, does not want to save her brother. After all, even if the Miri authorities have taken illegal actions against her brother, it was the authorities who took illegal actions first.
From the officer's perspective, her brother might have deserved his fate and wasn't worth saving at all! But now, hearing their unwavering choice and knowing that they genuinely wanted to change her brother's uncertain fate, she couldn't help but feel relieved, regardless of their reasons for making that choice.
.
After making their decision, the group continued on their planned route. However, having already exchanged most of the important information, they mostly talked about their experiences after parting ways and things they found interesting and memorable while driving.
Of course, they also found a few road chests along the way, but probably because this journey took place near the timeline of 2011, the quality of the road chests was not high, and they still had a lot of food stored up.
Fengxingshou simply let Matsuda, who always manages to get ordinary vegetables and fruits, open the treasure chests. (*^▽^*) If Hagiwara hadn't been driving, it would have been the same to let him open the chests.
It was during this opportunity that Morofushi Kagemitsu once again witnessed the treasure chest being opened and broken down, revealing fruits, vegetables, and basic materials, and also heard Hagiwara tease Matsuda about his terrible luck.
Unlike the somber atmosphere that had preceded their conversation about the future, the group chatted and laughed, spending the evening in the joy of reuniting with old friends. As evening approached, there was no urgent need to drive, and the car interior was quite spacious.
Feng Xingshou simply used some home-style cooking skills he had learned from the kitchen master when he was a pastry chef, and used some delicious ingredients in his backpack, as well as the vegetables he had just harvested, to make a few decent dishes.
They even took out the beer from the vending machine for them to drink, to celebrate Inspector Morofushi's escape from death and the rebirth of three people who had all experienced death...
After the lively dinner ended, while they were chatting in the living room, Feng Xingshou went back to his small bedroom and, a little embarrassed, found the supply pack that Hagiwara and his friends had bought for him in his backpack.
After tidying up, they selected the clothes they had prepared for themselves and put them back into their backpacks. The rest were sorted and put into storage boxes, which were then moved to the small living room inside the car for them to use when changing clothes.
While tidying up her clothes, she remembered that she hadn't prepared a bed for Officer Moribushi to rest in that night, so she quickly used the game's crafting page to create a foldable single sofa bed for him.
Even if the living room is small, Inspector Morofushi can unfold the folding sofa bed at night, just like Matsuda and Hagiwara, and fold it into a sofa when traveling during the day...
Of course, she also needed to take a thorough shower, change into brand new underwear, and prepare a new coat. After all that busy preparation, her precise biological clock started to make her sleepy, so she drowsily returned to her small bedroom and fell asleep as soon as her head hit the pillow...
Just like when they rescued Matsuda last time, Hagiwara and Matsuda once again took Morofushi, who was full of curiosity about game dungeons, to fight the midnight monster that spawns at 12 o'clock at night, allowing Morofushi Kagemitsu to witness firsthand what it looks like when a beast falls to the ground and turns into a treasure chest.
Similarly, because the journey here is closer to the past, the quality of the treasure chests is generally average. Even if they left six treasure chests for the Wind Star Guardian to open the next morning, there was nothing surprising about what they got this time.
These are all small appliances like grinders, dried fruit makers, and coffee machines—things that are dispensable and only needed when resources are plentiful and people can enjoy a comfortable lifestyle. They don't have the means to enjoy these things right now!
What upset them even more was that when they woke up early in the morning, they saw ice flowers on the car windows, indicating that the air outside was even colder today. Looking out the car window...
What was falling was no longer sleet, but tiny snowflakes. They estimated that it would get colder than they imagined later on. Knowing that this disaster season would only involve a slight drop in temperature each day, the group had no choice but to let nature take its course...
After having breakfast, the four continued their journey. Since they needed to make up for the two-day journey they had taken last time in one day, Hagiwara had been driving very fast since yesterday afternoon, and he did the same this morning.
Despite their frantic efforts, they managed to return to the same route they had taken two days prior before noon today. After the three of them precisely calculated the approximate coordinates for the third March 2015, they arrived at the scheduled time coordinates just over ten minutes before the instance opened.
Time was short, and the three of them didn't even have time for lunch before starting to prepare for entering the dungeon, knowing that each place they entered would inevitably be fraught with danger and destruction.
And quite coincidentally, or perhaps there is some kind of connection between the siblings, they encounter Gin's situation in most of the dungeons. At Morofushi's suggestion, they all brought guns when they went in this time.
They even picked out black jackets from the clothes that Itako had bought for them to wear. After the dungeon opened, Fengxingshou transferred them to his inventory space, took them into the dungeon, and then released them again...
.
The moment Hagiwara, Matsuda, and Morofushi appeared in the real world from the Wind Star Guardian's backpack space, Bourbon, Date Wataru, Akai Shuichi, and Gin in the real world all frowned in unison.
Gin frowned because a fragment of memory had just surfaced in his mind. In his original memory, he had received a report from Ray and others about their mission to pursue Scotland, saying that Scotland was about to be killed by him.
A sudden earthquake and sinkhole disaster struck the area. Scotland fled into the building where the sinkhole occurred, and his fate was unknown. The organization naturally arranged for people to investigate the aftermath of the disaster, but they did not find Scotland's body or any trace of him still alive, so the matter was left unresolved.
However, in the memory that just appeared, Rye should have successfully chased him to Scotland and shot him on the spot. There was no earthquake in that area, or even in Japan, that day that was strong enough to cause noticeable seismic fluctuations.
Realizing this, Gin recalled encountering those two troublesome individuals at the Tokiwa Twin Towers at the end of last month, and hearing about the time travel incident. Originally, the organization was conducting an internal investigation but had not found any clues.
Gin was furious, thinking he had been fooled by two highly skilled guys who could imitate the fat pig's voice. He was also furious at the thought of how many guys in the organization would laugh at him if word got out.
It was only at this moment, when the sudden change in his memory made him realize that time travel might not be a lie, that those two guys weren't liars, and that Fatty Piglet really was involved in time travel technology.
He also realized something: his little piglet might have used her abilities to travel back in time and change the fate of that rat in Scotland? Why? Did the little piglet know that rat? She had only been in Japan for less than six months; how did she know him? And why did she save him?
