As usual, Jin didn't even think about going to the Twelve Earthly Branches meeting three days later.

I came to Schwadani today to ask for an autograph from the author of "Swamp Man".

Of course

If he hadn't just learned that the signing would be held in Schwadani, and the place where he was before was relatively close to Schwadani, he wouldn't have come here.

Because it was a temporary idea, I don't know if it will be in time.

Anyway, even if it is too late, he will not let himself come in vain, and before leaving Schwadani City, he will go to the old street to reminisce about the special food he used to eat.

Leaving the airport, Kim went straight to the mall building where the signing party was held.

When he arrived at his destination, he saw that there were staff at the entrance of the mall building dismantling the propaganda board of "Swamp Man".

Not far from the gate, there was a teenager with a book like him, standing there watching the staff remove the billboard.

Obviously, the signing session of "Swamp Man" is over, and the boy must have missed the signing session.

"It's late."

Kim walked straight to the staff who were dismantling the billboard.

"Excuse me......"

"The signing is over, and the Davidson author is gone."

The younger staff member didn't look at Kim at all, and waved his hand impatiently.

He has answered similar questions many times, which is why he is so impatient.

"Okay."

Hearing that Davidson, the author of "Swamp Man", had left, Kim glanced at the picture on the billboard with some regret, and then turned to leave.

Now that you're out of business, let's go for some of the snacks that can only be found in the city of Schwadani.

It's not a wasted trip.

Jin thought to himself, glancing out of the corner of his eye at the boy who had stopped in front of the gate.

The same people who returned disappointed......

Jin suddenly stopped, and raised his hand to greet the young man on a whim.

"Yo, boy."

“？”

Hearing Jin's greeting, Mo You followed the sound and asked suspiciously, "Is there something wrong?" ”

"You're also a fan of Swampoo, right?"

Jin walked over to Moyu and asked very familiarly.

Moyu didn't recognize Kim.

It's just that the current Kim has neither a beard nor a broken hat with a missing corner.

If it's Hisoka and Biski, who have a strong style of dressing, or the blue bead earrings that are highly recognizable like Kurolo, Moyu can be recognized immediately by complementing his physical features and hairstyle.

But the current Jin, in Mo You's eyes, is a young man who looks like he is only in his early twenties, and how can he have the raunchy "prodigal uncle" appearance in the original book.

"Yes."

Mo You replied coldly, secretly vigilant.

He didn't have delusional victimization, but the man in front of him was also a mind-shifter, so there was nothing wrong with being careful.

Jin didn't care about Mo You's coldness at all, with his observation, he could clearly feel Mo You's vigilance, but he didn't care either, and naturally smiled:

"I'm also a fan of "Swamp Man", and I came all the way to ask for a signed version of the book, but I didn't expect it to be too late."

“……”

Mo Yu didn't speak, casually glancing at the book in Kim's hand.

Jin looked at Mo You and asked curiously, "What about you, do you want an autograph?" ”

"Nope."

Moyu shook his head.

He was also a step late, and he asked the two staff members just now, and the answers he got were basically the same.

"It's a shame."

Jin sighed lightly, and then invited Mo You very simply: "I'm going to eat something, are you interested in coming along?" As fans of "Swamp Boy", I think we should have a lot of common topics. ”

"Thanks, but I've already eaten it."

How could Mo You agree to the invitation, if it weren't for the friendly attitude of the other party, he would have left a long time ago.

Seeing that Mo You declined the invitation, Jin showed a disappointed expression without reservation, but his eyes suddenly lit up.

"It's okay, I'm not really hungry, so it's okay to talk here."

As he spoke, he sat cross-legged on the ground, looking at Moyu with anticipation in his eyes.

The age gap is like an ornament in Kim's eyes.

What's the matter with this man?

Mo Yu looked at Jin who was sitting directly on the ground in silence.

"You're welcome, sit down."

The golden eyes were earnest, and he made a gesture of invitation.

It's just that Moyu didn't sit down directly.

The two of them looked at each other like this.

Mo You could feel that the man in front of him was serious.

I really don't know what kind of brain circuit it takes to invite strangers to sit on the road and talk about the feelings of a book.

This man is really strange, but ......

In that casual behavior, it reveals a kind of freedom that is different from ordinary people who don't care about the eyes of others.

Mo You wanted to leave, but he sat down by mistake.

Jin saw Mo You sitting down, put the book he brought over in front of him with great interest, and said with a smile: "Young man, I don't know what your name is." ”

“……”

Mo You paused when he heard this, and instead of saying the classic reply of "introduce yourself first when asking for someone's name", he calmly reported the name on the fake identification card: "Kester." ”

Kester ...... The meaning is light, good name. ”

Jin Bufu quietly praised the "fake name" reported by Moyu.

The basis of his judgment is very simple, that is, before Mo You answers the name, there is a moment of expression called "hesitation".

If you have to hesitate in the face of this kind of thing, it is likely that you are hesitating to report your "real name" or "fake name".

And the vast majority of people will not hesitate to give their "real name" before giving it their "real name".

After figuring out this fact for a short moment, Kim didn't feel that there was anything wrong with this kind of vest behavior.

Because he does this kind of thing all the time.

Whether it's in reality, or when surfing on a web blog to get someone else's mindset.

"Niko, nice to meet you."

As Kim introduced himself, he held out his right hand to Moyu.

Mo Yu politely shook Kim's outstretched hand, then quickly withdrew it.

"Kester, what's your favorite chapter of 'Swamp Man'?"

"Hmm......"

Hearing this, Mo You thought for a moment, and then replied:

"My favorite chapter should be the "Spread Chapter" before the endgame, in which Davidson has perfectly created a depressing plot direction that can be called the end of the world, and the whole chapter is full of despair, giving people an immersive and real feeling."

"Uh-huh."

Kim listened and nodded in agreement.

Mo You flipped through the book in his hand and said slowly:

"But what makes me love this chapter is not the air of desperation that Davidson puts between the lines."

As he spoke, he looked down at the pages and continued:

"It's Davidson's author's use of "humanity" as the key to pry the last glimmer of hope into the "swamp man" that began to spread, which greatly surprised me."

"Sure enough......"

Kim's eyes flashed with emotion, and he sighed: "Readers who really like a book will always have a common point of view and opinion in the end, Kester, can I ask you another question?" ”

"Hmm."

Moyu looked up at Kim.

Jin said seriously, "Since the 'Replacement Swamp Man' and the 'Replaced Human' have the same appearance, memory, and even thoughts, will there be any difference between the two? I'd like to know Kester's take on this point of view. ”

"To plunder and to be plundered."

Moyu answered Kim's question without thinking.

Meanwhile.

In a bachelor apartment room somewhere in the city of Schwadani.

The commander of the Phantom Brigade, Kurolo, stood in front of a young corpse.

"Plunder what you want, that's what thieves do."

He held a signed version of the Swamp Man in his hand.
