What will happen "maybe later", Varina ultimately did not say.
Because at that moment, a sentence suddenly popped out of his mind for no reason -
"Once the thread of fate is broken, it will never be reconnected."
Is this a bad omen? Varina shook his head gently to get rid of this sudden thought.
"What are you going to do?" Xio's voice sounded at the right time, "Hey, are you okay?"
She pulled Varina back to his attention and asked, "I mean, have you figured out how to make up a lie that's believable enough before they find you?"
Varina raised his head again, glanced at Forsi who was recording some inspiration in the booklet again, looked at Xio again, nodded and said:
“There is a general idea, but some details need to be filled in.”
"As you said before, it is normal for someone who has been missing for such a long time not to be found. We just need to find a reasonable final whereabouts."
"You don't need to see people or corpses. You just need to make them believe it and stop looking for people."
After Varina described his thoughts, he then gave more specific ideas:
"There shouldn't be too many missing cases in the East District. If we find one case and solve it, it shouldn't be difficult to add me to the victims."
"The only thing that needs attention here is that I need to further modify my appearance. Since I have not paid attention to changing my appearance before, I may be exposed if I have too much contact with Detective Zerrell."
"Also, I hope to get your help in changing my makeup."
After talking to Zerrell in the morning, Varina was in the bathroom of the shooting club, carefully examining his current appearance.
Compared with before, the changes are neither big nor small.
The most obvious change is eye color.
In the past, his eyes were dark brown, but now, perhaps due to the influence of the potion's power, they have deepened a lot, and if you don't look carefully, you might mistake them for black.
Except for the color of his eyes, the outline of his facial features may not be noticeable at first glance, but if you look closely, you will find that they are softer than before.
These are just changes in details. Varina's clothes and the character he performed at that time were also very different from before.
It can be said that except for his appearance, he was very different from what he was a month ago.
But a detective is a detective after all, and he can get away with it once or twice. If there are too many contacts, Varina cannot guarantee that he will not reveal any flaws.
Therefore, the meeting tomorrow morning would be the last face-to-face contact between him and Zerrell.
Hearing that Varina wanted to learn makeup, Xio curled her lips secretly. She rarely wore makeup now.
Different from Xio's reaction, Forsi stepped forward very eagerly, as if he had many skills he wanted to teach.
Varina thought of something, quickly stretched out his left palm to stop him, and added:
"I just need some simple techniques to make my appearance look different from before."
Forsi stopped and said with a slightly regretful tone:
"Then there's nothing more to say. Go buy an eyebrow pencil, thicken your eyebrows, and slightly fake some dark hair on your chin and temples. You'll look quite different."
Varina quickly took this suggestion to heart and planned to try it when he returned to the city.
At this time, Xio also considered the idea proposed by Varina and said:
"Your idea should be feasible. If I go around the East District, I should be able to find a few recent disappearance cases. Then we can investigate the situation based on the situation."
"No, no, no," Varina corrected, "I will mainly investigate the disappearance case, and you will be mainly responsible for contacting Zerrell and investigating my case."
"When the case progresses, we will merge the two cases and give a final conclusion."
Xiu thought about it and nodded in agreement.
"Then let's just say it," Varina finalized: "Tomorrow at eight o'clock in the morning we will meet near the Holy Wind Church in Jowood District, and then we will go to the Shure Shooting Club together."
Quinn nodded again.
Then, she walked to the center of the field, picked up the three-sided thorn stuck in the ground with her toes, caught it casually, and said:
"I've rested enough, things have been discussed, and training can start again."
"Next is weapon training."
Wariner exerted his strength, left the birch tree he was leaning on, drew out the dagger from the outside of his left arm, and walked over.
Xio suddenly made a move to snatch his dagger. After Varina managed to hold on for a few moves, the dagger was taken away.
"Do you know why?" At this time, Xio felt like a majestic instructor.
Varina reflected for a moment and asked tentatively: "Is it because of your height advantage?"
"Ayo!"
As soon as he said the words, he was stepped on hard and turned into a curly baboon hopping on one foot while crying out in pain.
"We're not that familiar yet, don't make such jokes."
After the warning, Xio asked again: "Have you thought clearly this time?"
"I know, you made a sneak attack!"
Varina leaned against a birch tree and rubbed the soles of his feet through the top of his boots.
Amid Forsi's laughter, Xio asked again expressionlessly:
"Don't change the subject. I'm asking if the dagger was taken away. Have you thought of the reason?"
Varina whispered, "No."
"Idiot, you held the dagger backwards!"
The dagger in Xio's hand turned half a circle, from a reverse grip to an overhand grip, "This is the correct way to hold the dagger."
Then, she switched between the forward and reverse grips and performed several movements to demonstrate the use of the dagger in both grips.
Obviously, the overhand grip has more, more accurate, faster, and more severe attacks.
Varina suddenly realized: "Now I understand."
"Take it." Xio threw the dagger back.
Although Varina could see it clearly, he still didn't dare to reach out and pick it up. He let it fall to the ground and then bent down to pick it up.
He learned to do what Xio did just now, and every time he made a move, he had to confirm it with his eyes.
About half an hour later, after Varina basically figured out the essentials of using the dagger, Xio ended today's fighting training.
When returning to the city, the three of them walked together for most of the journey, and finally separated at the subway station where the East District and Backlund Bridge areas meet.
It was only when they were separated that Varina found out that Xio and Forsi's current residence was in the Jowood area.
After leaving the subway station, Varina first bought a cheap eyebrow pencil in a grocery store on nearby White Rum Street before returning to his residence.
In the public restroom.
Varina followed Fors's suggestion and after making some modifications to his eyebrows, temples and chin, he observed his appearance again.
He found that although only the details had been changed, the feeling did change.
Varina continued to adjust his micro-expressions in front of the mirror, controlling his facial muscles to make his eyes appear slightly larger and smaller, and making other subtle changes, and then he felt completely relieved.
I'll go see Zerrell like this tomorrow.
