Chapter 143
143 who would write a diary?
Link flipped the sketch over and saw John’s scribbled handwriting.
Compared to the detailed sketch on the front, John’s handwriting was much more wild. At first glance, it was easy to think of a doctor’s prescription.
Link’s brows furrowed. He deciphered John’s words with the solid foundation he’d built up from nine years of compulsory education.
[ after five years, the sand City has become a little unfamiliar to me. Many of my old friends tried to contact me after knowing that I was here, wanting to meet and reminisce. What they don’t know is that I’ve already visited them in secret. Time had left clear traces on them. Some people were high-spirited in my memory, but when I saw them again, they were already past their Prime, and I could no longer see the heroic appearance of the past. [ it turns out that in the face of time, all of us can’t even withstand a blow. ]
this messy yet delicate painting style highlighted his keen observation skills.
Looking at the handwriting of the United Pharmaceutical company building in the sketch, it should have been imprinted in his heart when he passed by it.
There were also scribbled words on the back. Link was sure that it was John.
“It’s just that this guy gave me an omniscient gold coin, and it wasn’t enough to push me to the surface. And now you’re sending me these things, what’s the meaning of this?”
A painting with his own life insights. Why did this thing look so much like a postcard?
The macaw behind him said, ” who would write a diary? this person looks indecent. I advise you to stay away from him.
Link turned around and saw the macaw hanging upside down from the door like a bat, its claws gripping the beam tightly.
“Why are you hanging upside down here?” link asked, shocked.
“Read the letter!” The macaw snapped.
In any case, the macaw would never say that it couldn’t see because it was short!
Ah Fu followed Link’s method and pulled out another sketch from the crack.
This sketch was of the front of the library in Sha du city.
The steps of the city library, the fist sculpture of knowledge, the pillars of the library, and the grandeur of the library were all written on the paper.
It was hard to imagine that such a realistic picture came from an ordinary pencil.
Just this drawing skill alone could be called ‘turning something rotten into something magical’.
link flipped the painting again and saw the words on the back.
Things remained the same, but people had changed, and their influence was not as great as before. Although they still heard the title of the King of Assassins, they admired the new generation like the shining nightmare more.
The two of them came to me five years ago. At that time, their abilities were already considered to have some small achievements, but I still didn’t recommend them because they were too superstitious about their own power system and abilities. They only focused on strengthening their strengths and never considered making up for their weaknesses.
I’ve already met and fought with nightmare. In the past five years, his battle records and bounty have been constantly updated, but his strength has not grown. [ I’ve heard that the shining Pixiu is out on a mission. I wonder if he has improved. ]
After reading John’s words, link suddenly had an idea.”don’t tell me john thinks i’m someone he can confide in?”
The more link thought about it, the more likely it seemed.
although this old man had retired from the martial arts world, he was still a middle-aged man in his forties.
His wife had become a vegetable because of a car accident and was frozen in the depths of the LAN Snow Mountain.
He was all alone, and his loved ones were only a door away from death. He had accumulated too many emotions that needed to be vented.
As the only other person who knew the truth and the secret, link naturally became John’s confidant.
Thinking of this, link understood.
that must be it. This guy probably thinks I’m the one who told him.
later, fu brought the third sketch. this time, the scene was a colosseum located on the delta. a huge black tortoise-shaped colosseum lay on the delta as if it was suppressing the sketch. with just a few strokes, he had clearly outlined the depression and prosperity of the slums and Uptown.
Behind it was still what John had seen, heard, and realized in the sand City during this period of time.
The fourth was the Noah Divine Tree.
Link’s brows furrowed.
If the previous sketch was a stroke of luck by John, the answer was obvious now that the four paintings were in front of link.
These were all places link had been to.
The United Pharmaceutical company, the city library, the Colosseum, and the moon Shadow Council’s Noah Divine Tree.
It had been a week since John had appeared in the link gang.
I can’t believe he’s been paying attention to me all this time, link muttered to himself.
In other words, John knew everything about his improvements and gains during this period of time.
“What is this guy trying to do?” Link thought for a long time but still couldn’t figure out John’s purpose.
Recommend me to The Platinum Hotel and let me become the target of public criticism?
And now, he had sent him so many paintings and ‘letters’ to express his thoughts.
“Boss, this is the last painting.” Ah Fu took out the last piece of paper and handed it to link.
The picture showed an old warehouse on the dock, and the other half of the picture depicted a sparkling dock.
The details in the picture were on point, and the words on the brick wall of the warehouse could be seen clearly.
Link flipped to the back and started reading John’s diary.
[ I came to Shandu this time just for an agreement with an old friend. However, in the past few days, when I visited a few of my old friends uninvited, I accidentally learned that Masha’s car accident five years ago didn’t seem to be a simple accident. thinking back to the bits and pieces of the past ten years, i seemed to vaguely feel that there was a conspiracy sweeping over my head. i don’t know if i should continue to investigate, but i’ve lost a lot of memories in the corner. if someone can help me find them now, maybe i will have an answer. ]
after reading the text, link could clearly see john’s internal struggle.
In his previous life, link had learned most of what had happened between John and Marsha from the players on the forums, and the players had also learned about it from the high-level NPCs.
Now, John had personally said that there was something else to his wife’s ‘death’. He had vaguely guessed the other party’s identity, but he was hesitant about whether to take action.
At the same time, link also noticed something strange about the text.
There might be an answer if someone can help me find the memories I’ve abandoned in the corner.
john had sent these boxes to link through express delivery. now, the letter said that he hoped someone would regain his memory. wasn’t this a hint to link to help him?
Of course, the strangest thing was that link had never been to the abandoned warehouse in the image.
From the outline, link could tell that it was in the slums, but he had no idea where exactly it was.
could it be that there’s something John left for me in this warehouse? ”
Just as link was feeling puzzled, the system sent him a bright notification.
[ you have triggered the a-rank chain Mission [ the King of Assassins ‘request ]. Accept/reject ]
There should be another chapter around 3:30.
