Chapter 19: A New Beginning

Varina hurried back to her quarters, and the first thing she did was to take out the items she had stored under the bed.

On the way back, he had already thought about it:

The Dead Eels have tracked him down, and the job must not be done any longer. To be on the safe side, he'd better have to change his place of residence and disappear from the sight of the Dead Eels.

Varina felt a little uncomfortable.

Before he was ready to give up his current life, he had no choice, and even had to leave as soon as possible.

John, Susan, and the once dreamed of a career as an accountant like Mr. Luca's were all completely lost to the past with this raid.

"Why did things turn out the way they were 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 you cancel the entrustment contract?

If you had been a little more cautious, would the situation have changed now?

No, it's not.

Such an outcome was predestined from the beginning.

Starting from his awakening of another memory, step by step verification, that is, step by step towards another life trajectory, a completely different path from the present.

Now, he is coming to an end of saying goodbye to the past.

Maybe......

Maybe you could be cautious a few days ago and postpone the ending.

But it will inevitably happen!

Realizing this, Varina felt a little incredulous.

It's fatalistic, even more bizarre than the fact that he misleads a gangster fire with a small trajectory.

Fatalism?!

Varina's heart "popped", and an idea popped up -

"Is this the result of my choice or ...... Reasonable plot? ”

He immediately shook his head, dispelling the thought from his mind. This question should not be considered, nor should it be considered, he believes that everything comes from his own choice.

Varina retracted her scattered thoughts, took off her coat, put on the pouch under her armpit, cut out the strip of cloth, tied the dagger to the outside of her left forearm, and finally put it back on.

He folded the check and gold pounds into his trouser pocket and finished preparing to leave.

Finally, it's time to arrange an ending for yourself.

With a raid at the café in the evening, Varina has come close to a perfect reason to disappear.

What he has to do now is to make up the last link.

He turned the bed upside down, turned his clothes open and threw them on the floor, the coal stove toppled over, and all the doors of the cabinet that could be opened were opened, creating the illusion that the room had been searched by the gang.

After going out, he took one last look back, and suddenly his eyes froze and saw two introductory language books on the table.

Varina hesitated slightly, but 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 half past eight in the evening, Varina arrived at the Bar of the Brave on Iron Gate Street.

Passing through the drinkers shouting and cheering around the boxing ring, he came to the bar and knocked on the table:

"A glass of Southwell beer."

The bartender glanced up at him, recognized him in a moment's astonishment, and asked, "Don't be 'half and half'?" ”

"New beginnings, new choices." Varina squeezed out a smile.

"5pence,"

The bartender turned back and poured his wine as he continued: "If you look for Caspers, he's in billiard room 3. ”

"Thank you."

Varina placed a five-pence copper coin and took a sip from a wooden cup.

Bitter, this is his first feeling, but the taste is not only bitter, but also the aroma of malt, and finally a little sweet.

It's okay, but next time I'll choose "half and half".

He took the wooden cup, bypassed the two most crowded and sweaty arenas, knocked on the door and pushed open the door of the No. 3 billiard room.

Seeing that it was Varina who opened the door, Caspars raised his voice and said, "Not today." ”

However, contrary to what he expected, Varina did not nod away when he heard the answer, but walked in.

Caspars made a gesture, and the man he was playing with went out on his own very naturally, and closed the door intimately.

"What else is there to do with you...... Hey, what's going on with you? ”

As the distance got closer, Caspars saw a swollen piece on the back of Varina's head and a lot of abrasions on his face.

"It's nothing, a couple of thieves in the Eastside," Varina said in a relaxed tone, "It's settled." You can rest assured that it will not affect your side. ”

Caspars nodded and asked again, "What else do you have?" ”

"I'd like to stay here for the night and leave tomorrow morning, okay?"

Varina had all her possessions with her, and she really didn't want to go out and look for a place to live at this time. Crucially, there are no hotels to be found in the Bridge District.

"Are you sure you got things sorted out, without a tail?"

Hearing Varina's request, Caspars looked at the swollen bag on his head again.

"At most, they'll be able to find my foothold in the East End, and they're here because I don't have any other accommodation nearby."

"Who are they?"

"The Dead Eels in the docks."

After a few questions in a row, Caspars made a decision.

"This billiard room belongs to you tonight."

He dropped the sentence and limped out.

After Caspars left, Varina sat down on the couch and pondered the way forward amid the noise of the tavern.

There are two main issues to consider – where to rent and what to make a living.

He doesn't really have many options.

Although Beckland is large, after considering the existing conditions, there are only two places left that are most suitable for Varina to rent - the Jowood District and the Bridge District.

The advantage of the bridge area is that it is cheap, the rent here is not much different from that in the eastern area, if it is a room similar to Varina's previous residence, the rent is about 5 soles per week; Its drawbacks are also obvious, and it can be difficult to find the right job here.

As for the Joe Wood area, it has the advantage that there are many small companies and more employment opportunities, and the disadvantage is that the rent is much more expensive.

At one point, Varina wanted to rent a house in Joewood and become a private detective like the original Klein, but in the end she chose to give up.

This is because he is not good at logical reasoning and cannot be an orthodox detective; He is also not good at divination and fortune-telling, and he can't be a metaphysical detective.

What he is good at is probably the moon is dark and the wind is high, seeking money and killing people.

Of course, it's okay to make money, but it's better to wait until you become a real "assassin" before thinking about it.

In this way, Varina finally decided to rent a house in the Bridge District, and the income considerations were put on hold.

After all, even if someone gave him the "Assassin" potion recipe for nothing, the money in his hand would not be enough to buy all the extraordinary materials.

That means he has to do at least one more vote, if not more.

In this way, there is not much point in looking for serious work.
