Varina returned to his residence in a hurry, and the first thing he did was to take out the items stored under the bed.
On the way back, he had already considered:
The Dead Eel Gang has tracked him down, so the job can no longer be done. To be on the safe side, it was best for him to change his residence and completely disappear from the Dead Eel Gang's sight.
Varina felt a little uncomfortable.
Before he was ready to give up his current life, he had no choice but to leave as soon as possible.
John, Susan, and the accountant career they once dreamed of like Mr. Luca were all gone with this raid.
"Why did things become like this in just one week?"
Varina sat on the bed and couldn't help but think about this question:
Was it because the theft was discovered? Or is it because of that misleading? Or shouldn't we cancel the entrustment contract?
If I were more cautious, would the current situation be different?
No, that's not right.
This ending was doomed from the beginning.
Starting from the time when he awakened another memory, and verified step by step, he was heading towards another life trajectory step by step, a road completely different from the current one.
Now, he is about to say goodbye to his past.
Maybe……
Maybe being more cautious in the past few days can delay the appearance of this ending.
But it will be inevitable!
After realizing this, Varina felt a little unbelievable.
This is simply fatalistic, even more bizarre than him using a small trajectory to mislead a gang fire.
fatalism? !
Warina's heart clicked, and an idea came to her mind——
"Is this the result of my choice or... a reasonable plot?"
He immediately shook his head to get the thought out of his mind. This issue should not be considered and cannot be considered. He believed that everything came from his own choice.
Varina put back his wandering thoughts, took off his coat, put on the gun bag under his arm, then cut out a strip of cloth, tied the dagger to the outside of his left forearm, and finally put on his coat again.
He folded the check and the gold pound and put them in his trouser pocket, and completed his preparations to leave.
Finally, it's time to give yourself an ending.
With a raid in the cafe in the evening, Varina had actually obtained an almost perfect reason for his disappearance.
What he has to do now is to make up the last link.
He turned the bed upside down, opened the clothes and threw them on the floor, pushed down the coal stove, and opened all the cabinet doors that could be opened, creating the illusion that the room had been searched by gangsters.
After going out, he looked back for the last time, and suddenly his eyes narrowed and he saw two introductory language books on the table.
Varina hesitated for a moment, then took a few steps back, put the two books on the table into his bag, and went out again.
This time, he didn't look back.
…
At about 8:30 pm, Varina came to the Brave Bar on Iron Gate Street.
Passing through the drinkers who were surrounding the boxing ring and shouting for cheers, he came to the bar and knocked on the table:
"A glass of Southwell beer."
The bartender raised his head and glanced at him. He was stunned for a moment before he recognized him and asked, "Don't you want 'half and half'?"
"A new beginning, a new choice." Varina forced a smile.
"5p,"
The bartender turned back to pour the wine and continued: "If you look for Caspars, he is in the billiards room No. 3."
"grateful."
Varina placed a 5-pence copper coin on the table, took a sip from the wooden cup.
Bitter, this was his first feeling, but the taste was not only bitter, but also had the aroma of malt, and finally a little sweet.
Although it’s okay, I’ll stick with “half and half” next time.
He took the wooden cup, bypassed the two most crowded, lively and sweaty arenas, knocked on the door as a reminder, and directly opened the door of the No. 3 billiards room.
When Kaspars saw that it was Varina who opened the door, he directly raised his voice and said, "Not today."
However, unlike what he expected, Varina did not nod and leave after hearing the answer, but walked in.
Kaspars made a gesture, and the man playing ball with him went out on his own very naturally, and closed the door considerately.
"What else do you have... Hey, what's going on with you?"
As they got closer, Kaspars saw a swelling on the back of Varina's head and a lot of scratches on his face.
"It's nothing, a few thieves in the East District," Warina said in a relaxed tone: "It has been solved. Don't worry, it won't affect your side."
Kaspars nodded and asked again: "What else do you want?"
"I want to stay here one night and leave tomorrow morning, is that okay?"
Varina brought all his property with him and really didn't want to go out and look for a place to live at this time. The most important thing is that there are no hotels in the bridge area.
"Are you sure you solved the problem and didn't bring the tail with you?"
Hearing Varina's request, Kaspars once again looked at the bump on his head.
"The most they can do is find my foothold in the East District. The reason for coming here is because I have no other place to live nearby."
"who are they?"
"The Dead Eels Gang in Docklands."
After several questions in a row, Kaspers made a decision.
"This billiard room belongs to you tonight."
He dropped these words and limped out.
After Kaspars left, Varina sat on the sofa, thinking about the way forward amidst the noise in the tavern.
There are two main questions to consider – where to rent and what to do for a living.
He doesn't really have many choices.
Although Backlund is large, after comprehensively considering the existing conditions, there are only two places left that are most suitable for renting in Varina - Jowood District and Bridge District.
The advantage of the Bridge District is that it is cheap. The rent here is not much different from that in the East District. If it is a room similar to Varina's previous residence, the weekly rent is about 5 sulers; its disadvantage is also obvious, it is difficult to find here. The right job.
As for the Jowood District, its advantage is that there are many small companies and naturally there are more job opportunities. Its disadvantage is that the rent is much more expensive.
Varina once had the idea of renting a house in the Jowood area and becoming a private detective like Crane in the original novel, but in the end he chose to give up.
This is because he is neither good at logical reasoning and cannot become an orthodox detective; nor is he good at divination and fortune-telling, so he cannot become a metaphysical detective.
What he is good at is probably making money and killing people when the moon is dark and the wind is high.
Of course, it's okay to make money, but as for killing, you should wait until you become a real "assassin" before considering it.
In this way, Varina finally decided to rent a house in the Bridge District, suspending income considerations.
After all, even if someone gave him the "Assassin" potion formula for free now, the money in his hand would not be enough to buy all the extraordinary materials.
In other words, he has to do at least one more job, maybe even more.
In this case, there is not much point in looking for a serious job.
