Ka Xiu has money, but not much. Most of these yellow, large-denomination federal banknotes were found from the antiques commissioner named William. I have to say that this did solve part of his urgent needs. Food, accommodation, transportation...
Busy from morning to afternoon, he finally stayed in a remote hotel because no identification was required here.
Standing by the window of a room on the second floor, Ka Xiu glanced at the wet street below. There were two or three men wearing cheap shirts, holding umbrellas while laughing and cursing and chatting.
On the avenue to the left, you can vaguely see female students wearing white dresses. While holding up the hem of the too-long lace skirt, she walked with small leather shoes. The snow-white and shapely calves are eye-catching, and they are also wrapped in the newly popular stockings.
Some green moss is piled in the corner of the wall, and there are ivy covered with dewdrops on the wall, occupying only a small area of the wall.
Feeling the cool breeze coming towards him, Cardiff took a bite of the sandwich in his hand. He had just eaten lunch now. Although this lunch meal time is almost evening.
Throughout the afternoon, Ka Xiu was applying for his fake identity certificate, which was a small brown paper book. In this day and age, it is not difficult to create a false identity if you wish. Especially if you pay quickly, you will probably go out at noon and in the evening.
Every city has people who specialize in this business.
After eating the sandwich in two bites, Ka Xiu glanced at the brown wooden box on the bed, which contained some daily necessities he bought.
I have to sleep in this hotel for one night before I can go to the train station with my fake ID tomorrow to buy a ticket to Shirakawa City. Baichuan City is more than 600 kilometers away from Fengnan City, spanning about two-thirds of Beiliu County. It takes a day and a half by train.
Kashu once traveled to Shirakawa City, which was an event held by the University of Jersey. He stayed there for more than two weeks and was relatively familiar with Baichuan City.
No matter what, let’s leave Fengnan City first.
Walking to the bed and pouring himself a glass of water, Ka Xiu glanced at the inferior second-hand watch on his wrist, which read five twenty-one.
There are still nine minutes until half past five, almost there.
He walked to the coat rack, threw on his black coat and put on his hat. Just as he was about to open the door, he stopped and picked up the umbrella next to him. After getting ready, he walked downstairs.
At the front desk of the hotel, an old bald man was taking a nap.
Ka Xiu glanced at it, then held an umbrella and walked out.
It wasn't raining heavily outside, but it was like silver-gray sticky spider silk, and the sky was dark, like the old tiles peeling off the roof. It gives people an inexplicably irritating and dull atmosphere.
The rain falling on the umbrella makes almost no sound. Ka Xiu turned four or five times along the street and finally stopped in a remote alley. There was already a man waiting for him with an umbrella.
"Here you come?" The rim of the umbrella was raised slightly, and a face covered with stubble looked over, with thick glasses on the bridge of his nose.
"Here you are, have you brought your things?" Ka Xiu got straight to the point.
"I've got it, where's the money?" The man put his hand into his arms and quickly took out a brown, newly made fake identity document.
"This is the remaining half." Ka Xiu took out a few large bills from his pocket, and the two quickly exchanged them.
"Take a look and see if it meets your requirements." The scumbag man flicked the banknote and observed the anti-counterfeiting certificate on it.
After a few minutes, Ka Xiu nodded with satisfaction.
“A pleasure to work with.”
“A pleasure to work with.”
The two shook hands, then turned around and left.
Sure enough, professional people do things quickly. As Ka Xiu walked forward along the alley, he took out his identification card again from his pocket. The surface is a brown leather jacket with several large characters protruding from it, and inside are a total of five yellow tough paper pages.
There is a vague smell of fresh ink.
On the first page, there was a familiar name printed on it: Levi.
Card repair closed the certificate and stuffed it back. There was water on the road, so he walked to the sidewalk next to it. The black street lamp on the right has started to work, emitting a gentle yellow light.
There were no pedestrians on this road, only the wet wild cats hiding under the eaves shouted from time to time, and their bodies shivered.
"It's so quiet."
Ka Xiu's always heavy heart felt a little relieved.
He didn't notice it and didn't know when it started. The shadow that had been projected on the wall on the left began to squirm bit by bit, and the black vortex was like a blinking eye.
A strange and terrifying atmosphere gradually spread.
The shadow that had been moving in sync with Card Xiu began to pause, as if he couldn't keep up with the rhythm. Until he passed a corner without street lights, Card Xiu's shadow disappeared.
Instead there was a figure following behind him.
The figure raised his head and saw a face that was exactly the same as Ka Xiu's. Even the clothes and umbrella on his body were exactly the same.
The shadow is alive! It is a replica of another card repair!
It was dark, and the road was dark. Two identically dressed figures, one in front and one behind, walked at the same frequency.
Even the light from the street lights cannot illuminate their shadows.
Suddenly, the figure behind him trembled, as if it had stopped imitating its original body, and accelerated forward. The face that looks like Ka Xiu has a ferocious expression, like an evil spirit.
"!" Only then did the card repairman in front notice someone running quickly from behind. He turned around and punched with his explosive speed technique.
Boom!
This punch hit the shadow man's face, and his cheek was immediately shocked, and his mouth was severely compressed. A splash of liquid mixed with saliva, blood, and water flew out, taking three or four teeth with it.
The shadow man spun and flew out, then fell to the ground with a groan. There was a huge splash from the puddle next to the sidewalk.
"Ah!!!" He groaned in pain on the ground. "How come your power is so much greater!? We are obviously the same!"
"What?" Ka Xiu threw his umbrella and rushed over.
He grabbed the person on the ground and lifted him up.
The two stood up straight and saw each other.
"Impossible!!!"×2
They both said in unison, with disbelief in their eyes.
Card Xiu's heart skipped a beat, because standing in front of him was a person who looked exactly like him. No matter the appearance, demeanor, or even body shape, he is still the same as before!
On the other side, the shadow man also thumped.
Because he discovered a very serious problem! The original owner of the body opposite him was half a head taller than him, and his body was more than a circle bigger. The trapezius muscles next to his neck were quite obvious.
Looking at the overall shape, you can feel that there is a strong body under the shirt, which is the posture of a perennial bodybuilder.
"Didn't I copy it completely?!"
The shrunken version of Ka Xiu swallowed the blood in his mouth. Under the gaze of his master, he unconsciously took a few steps back.
