Looking directly at the ancient gods for a whole year

Chapter 2759 The Thirteenth Day Talk (XI)

That's really true. The ultimate level of face blindness is recognizing clothes but not people.
What kind of abstract scene would the world appear in this person's eyes?
The reason the woman with the hair clip gave—that her clothes were torn, which is why I almost didn't recognize her—felt somewhat forced and unconvincing.

But Fu Qian, who had guessed beforehand, still expressed his understanding at that moment.

It's not surprising that she has this face at all, because she can't remember faces at all and only recognizes people by their clothes.
Even the gaze that swept across the void of time and space seemed to find its explanation in an instant.

Despite having such strikingly bright eyes, it's quite a contrast that they possess such poor discernment. They're like the legendary clear yet foolish eyes.

“I’ve had this problem for a long time. Before I came here, I couldn’t even recognize my parents if they swapped clothes…”

As expected, people are especially sensitive to their own flaws. Before I could even ask a question before paying, the woman handing out the hair clips pointed to her eyes and explained with a smile.

"However, it's not all bad. Although the world seems to have lost a part because of this, it also has a feeling that others don't have."

“It seems that some kind of talent has even been awakened because of this. My memory for people’s clothing has become very good. I will never forget what I have seen before… On the third day I came here, I saw you wearing this outfit.”

With a touch of bittersweet optimism, the woman with the hair clip sighed softly, seemingly recalling a certain scene.

"Ms. Tracy was also there at the time."

……

The two of them were indeed dressed a bit too extravagantly; the sanatorium was decorated like they were going to a ball.

I didn't question the woman's photographic memory; at that moment, I was just thinking to myself, "If it were Tracy and the other woman's outfits, many people would remember them."

However, the other name she casually mentioned greatly increased the credibility of the woman's story.

She recognized the original owner of the clothes.

Although theoretically speaking, this is not exactly good news.

He stripped someone of their clothes but didn't disguise his face, and luckily, he ran into someone who was completely face-blind, so he wasn't recognized...

At first glance, it seems like they're incredibly lucky, with another wave of people heading in both directions.

But don't forget a very important point: you just encountered a behind-the-scenes manipulator who resembles a "director".

In such a situation, a single coincidence is hard to resist the urge to imagine.

Was this also part of your plan? Not only were the staff members cast by you, but even the patients joined the crew?
Fu Qian clicked his tongue in admiration, becoming increasingly satisfied with his previous choice.

Yes, theoretically it might be bad news, but ultimately it depends on your purpose.

As mentioned before, the task at hand is not to find a place to hide and avoid being discovered, but to try to interact with this place as much as possible within controllable limits.

Then, clarify the situation and look for opportunities.

Otherwise, constantly dodging is undoubtedly a form of slow death.

The current situation may seem passive, but that is the real passive situation.

"Actually, it wasn't torn; strictly speaking, I tore it myself."

"Besides, it does sound like an interesting talent. Tracy would be very happy to know that, because it's an affirmation of her taste."

Before paying, he touched his slightly torn collar and chose to address the other party's questions first, even maintaining his honesty.

"Thank you for the compliment... Ms. Tracy certainly has excellent taste. She had a pair of shoes that suited her perfectly, which she wore the last time I saw her."

Although it was just a small recognition, it still made the girl who was giving out hair clips very happy, and she immediately recalled more details.

Furthermore, these details seem to imply another detail—she didn't see Tracy just now.

"Let me think, when was that time... What's the date today?"

The woman with the hair clip, lost in her memories, seemed to encounter a problem, frowning slightly as she confirmed with Fu Qian, "It's supposedly number 48."

Fu Qian said he was familiar with this question and immediately gave the answer he had discussed with Cuixi earlier.

"That should be around number 42..."

As it turned out, the woman handing out the hair clip didn't notice anything unusual about the date; instead, she actually deduced a conclusion from it.

……

Very good, so the credibility of Mrs. Tracy's story has also increased.

The woman's reaction subtly proved that there were indeed unusual date-recording techniques used in this place, but the greatest significance lay elsewhere.

The reason why Fu Qian was so enthusiastic in helping to recall was that he wanted the woman who gave him the hair clip to verify the truthfulness of what Mrs. Tracy had said earlier.

After all, they had only met briefly, and Mrs. Tracy would most likely be staying next door later.

"Oh, it seems like it's almost 6 o'clock. Sorry, I have to go the other way!"

As Fu Qian was tallying up his haul, the woman next to him suddenly realized something, let out a soft gasp, and hurriedly said goodbye.

Oh? It seems to get dark quite quickly.

Fu Qian looked in the direction she indicated and found himself at a fork in the road.

The VIP area mentioned earlier requires going around a stone platform and continuing upwards, and it sounds like the woman who gave out hair clips probably doesn't live there.

Furthermore, it wasn't an excuse; when I came out of the solitary confinement cell, it was only slightly dark outside.

In the short time it took to exchange just a few words, the visibility had already dropped rapidly, and it was almost evening.

Given the woman's behavior, it's definitely not safe for her to be wandering around outside at this hour.

But such weather wasn't without its downsides, especially for someone like me who was an imposter.

The population density should have gradually increased along the way.

But at this moment, the darkness and the fact that the two were walking together allowed them to cover up the problem with their faces as much as possible.

Is this the legendary best arrangement?
"Thanks for sharing, it was a pleasure chatting with you."

With a sigh in his heart, Fu Qian nodded understandingly and took the initiative to say goodbye.

"You're welcome. Chatting with this outfit is even more enjoyable than I expected."

The other party's response was also interesting. Not only did they genuinely accept the thanks because of Fu Qian's emphasis on sharing, but they even specifically used "this outfit" to refer to the person they were talking to.

Before I could even respond, the woman handing out the card waved goodbye with a smile and walked off down another road.

……

It's no wonder it's a sanatorium; these days you rarely see such a scene of people resting at sunset.

He only glanced at her for a second, without even slowing down his pace, and quickly crossed the platform and climbed the steps.

It must be said that the overall scene was quite joyful and peaceful.

The direction the woman with the hair clip was heading towards was noticeably more popular.

She hadn't walked far when someone called out to her, seemingly worried about her.

In contrast, the VIP area was rather deserted, with hardly any lights on—including where Mrs. Tracy lived.
