Three days later, the middle-aged man finally woke up. When he saw Uwa, he asked, "You saved me?"
Uwa nodded and said happily, "Sir, you finally woke up!"
"Where am I?"
"This is the staff dormitory of the Pride Cinema." Uwa replied.
"Pride Cinema? Is it the cinema owned by Amandine ?"
"Sir, do you know Amandine too?"
"It's strange that people don't know him now, but I've known him for a long time."
Uwa said in surprise, "Are you my brother's friend?" The middle-aged man asked in confusion, "Brother? He didn't tell me he had a sister!"
Uwa briefly introduced his relationship with Amandine, and the middle-aged man suddenly realized it after hearing this. He introduced himself and said, "My name is Laurent, I'm a university professor, and I was injured this time because I was chased by someone."
This Laurent was the one who had borrowed Amandine's invisibility cloak. Back then, he borrowed Amandine's cloak to copy it, and when he succeeded, he chose to escape, because Amandine wanted him to fulfill his promise to build a time machine. He knew it was impossible to accomplish, so he had to play the game of disappearance. Recently, he heard that Amandine was in crisis, so he thought about whether he could help. He still felt that he owed Amandine a big favor, but his ability was limited. Even if he killed his head, he couldn't invent a time machine. He could only settle for the next best thing and do what he could. A few days ago, he just found out about Amandine and was chased. Fortunately, he had an invisible cloak to escape, but he was still shot in the chest. He was drowsy at the time and ran away until he fell in the cinema and was rescued by Uwa.
"Are you looking for my brother?" Uwa asked.
"Yes, do you know where he is?"
Uwa shook her head and said, "I don't know, I also want to find him."
Laurent took out five hundred shillings from his pocket and said, "Please help me buy some food. I've been hungry for a few days and want to eat something."
Uwa took it and went out to buy food. When he was the only one left, Laurent looked around and found that the furnishings in the house were very simple. In addition to the bed, there was only a mirror and a photo frame hanging on the wall. There is a silly-looking boy in the photo frame, holding a turtle in his hand. At this time, there was a knock on the door, and Laurent was surprised, "Does she need to knock on the door when she arrives at her own home?" He had to say, "Come in! The door is not locked." When the door opened, he screamed, "Who are you?" It was not Uwa who appeared, but two masked men. The two man did not answer his question, but directly raised their guns and shot at him. After a few "bangs", Laurent fell down again. The two masked men closed the door again and left as if nothing had happened. Half an hour later, Uwa returned to the dormitory with the food she had bought. As soon as she entered the room, she smelled blood. When she saw Laurent lying in a pool of blood, she screamed, "Sir, what happened to you?" She ran over and was about to pick up the injured person, but Laurent moved a little. He whispered, "No need to go. This time the injury is too serious." After a moment, he took out something from his arms and said to Uwa, "Give this to Amandine. I know he lost one of his things. Consider this as my return to him!"
"Sir, what is this?" Uwa asked. "This is an invisibility cloak. Press this button and then..." Laurent died before he finished speaking. That evening, Uwa buried Laurent in tears on a mountain three kilometers away. She murmured, "Sir, your life is more miserable than mine. You were chased and killed twice in just a few days. It's a pity that I can no longer save you. I hope your soul can enter heaven." After dealing with Laurent's funeral, she thought about looking for Amandine and handing him the invisibility cloak. This was also the professor's last wish. After returning to the dormitory and packing her belongings, she thought, "Since I have a cloak, I don't need to buy a ticket if I put it on, and I can save some money." After taking it out and putting it on, she looked at the mirror and said, "How can I still see myself? Others should not be able to see me." She felt that her understanding was correct.
After leaving the house, she went straight to the station and prepared to go to Pride Farm to inquire about Amandine's whereabouts. There were not many buses going to Kilimanjaro, and she waited for more than 40 minutes before she got one. After all the original passengers on the bus got off, she followed a tall man into the bus. The driver saw her and thought they were a couple, so he didn't stop her. But she thought she was invisible and no one saw her, and she was laughing in her heart. While the bus was waiting for passengers to get on, the tall man talked with the driver. The two were obviously acquaintances. Uwa was afraid of knocking people down, so she found a corner to squat, and she curled up like a frightened kitten. Others saw her like this and thought she was crazy, so they all stayed away. She giggled from time to time and seemed to enjoy the feeling. The car finally started. A little boy saw Uwa squatting on the ground and looked up and asked, "Mom, what's wrong with this aunt?"
The mother hurriedly stopped him and whispered, "Don't talk, she's a lunatic, be careful she might hit you."
Uwa wondered how the child could see her, so she asked carefully, "Can you see me?"
The little boy was reminded by his mother and didn't dare to speak, but just shook his head. Uwa was relieved, it turned out that he didn't mean me. The car drove for more than three hours, and people kept getting on and off the bus. However, there were more people getting on the bus, and the bus was already full. At this time, an old man was tired of standing and couldn't find a seat. He saw Uwa lying on the ground and sat down. Uwa thought, "Does he think I'm part of the car?" In order not to expose herself, she had to endure it. The old man sat for more than a dozen stops before getting off the bus. Before leaving, he said to Uwa, "Thank you!"
But Uwa didn't think he was talking to her. She always thought that she was very good at hiding and had never made any mistakes. After the old man left, many people took turns to sit on the bus. They all agreed that this crazy woman liked to be used as a stool. Seven hours later, the terminal arrived, and Uwa followed the crowd to get off the bus. It was still two kilometers away from the Pride Farm. Her legs were numb after being a stool for so long, so she wanted to walk there. Of course, she chose to be invisible. It took more than 20 minutes to reach the Pride Farm. If she wanted to ask questions, she had to show herself. She took off her cloak and walked to the door and asked a guard, "Excuse me, do you still know me? I used to live here, and I want to find Amandine." The guard really knew Uwa, "It's you? Why are you here? The boss ran away a long time ago and is not here."
"Then where did he go? Do you know?" The guard shook his head and said, "I don't know, he hasn't appeared around here."
Uwa left disappointedly. Not long after she walked, she found that someone seemed to be following her. At first, she was not sure, so she tried to turn a few times to confirm that the person behind her was indeed following her. "Why are you following me?" She turned around and asked. The man did not answer, but just stopped. She took out her invisibility cloak and put it on, then continued walking forward. However, she found that the man behind her was still following her at a leisurely pace. "Why is he still following me? Is he taking this road as well?"
