Miss Bach's Crab Canon

"It's worn out by the years - but it's the way it was sent, pristine, perfectly tuned and in excellent condition."

The historical demon wrote its fate.

There is no need for a turning point of reason, no reasonable foreshadowing, just facts.

Then--

It became a fact.

The dilapidated piano suddenly shone with a low-key lacquer. It was flawless and spotless.

The white keys have fine tooth patterns, and the black keys exude the woody fragrance of ebony.It stood silently in the middle of the studio, waiting for its first cry to be allowed.

——Deli Duoli smiled with satisfaction and tiredness, and then disappeared.

then--

"Joannis, go play something?"

"No, it's up to you, I'll wait later." The great musician was patiently excited, just standing next to the piano and touching its cover, "This is a lady who admires you and sent you a gift from the other side of history." Come on, at least after you play something, I can borrow it with respect."

Without rebuttal, Gao Yiyu sat in front of the piano, completely different from before.

So, what do you want to play?

Without thinking, Gao Yiyu's hands moved by themselves. She was very familiar with how to use the keys, but she was not.Not like a floppy keyboard on a synthesizer, not like a cheap piano in a school music room, not like everything...

But the melody from the string strike is the same.

"Minuet", an unknown piano piece, belongs to the voice of that period of history.

Gao Yiyu didn't quite remember the score, but just based on his impression.She can't handle the details of the music well, so she arranges it on the spot in her own way, or adds pretty embellishments to change it.Except for the bumps and bumps at the beginning, it can be regarded as a smooth end.

Joannis did not offer applause. As a martyr of religious music, the highest respect she knows is to listen carefully.

Of course she did.

"It sounds good."

"It means the piano."

"They all sound good, and your technique is very good... It is an unfamiliar instrument, but you are familiar with it very, very quickly... But the piano is also very good, very special... I can hear the sweat of the great craftsman when making it, and I can Hear how the natural materials that make it up grow."

That's not to say Gao Yiyu's magic power, in fact, Gao Yiyu deliberately restrained his magic power when playing, just a simple test of the piano.But Gao Yiyu can understand what Joannis said. As a player, the feedback and response of the piano are so delicate and precise...

Savoring the touch, she moved aside to Joannis.

After being seated—the great musician smiled and asked the most wonderful question: "What do you want to hear?"

"It's up to you."

"That--"

She pressed the black key.

Like in the night sky, billions of stars are annihilated at the same time, leaving only the silent darkness of everything.

But every time she touches a key next, a star is dotted on the night sky by her own hands.

The bright stars are the main theme, their light is changeable, and they are getting brighter and brighter, and they are connected into one piece.

The others are chords, which are unknown and cannot be found without looking.

——It was a new starry night, every twinkle was her piano sound.

""Pale Shadow", this is the first piece you played for me when we met...I will never forget it." The man who created the stars, with love and nostalgia, addressed the only audience word.

098 God's Business

When Gao Yiyu and Joannis were happy about the revived piano in the recording studio, or were discussing love in front of the church that was about to be built——

The ancient Greek noble goddess who was once passionately courted by the sun god Apollo, who was truly orthodox in ancient Rome and symbolized victory and poetry in the world, is still living in a chaotic house with tens of square meters, two bedrooms and one living room, lack of sunlight in the west, and Fight against hunger.

"I'm so hungry...why don't you come..." Her voice expressing her predicament was so sweet.

Her bright amber pupils glanced at the door every five seconds.

Because of the usual changes, Gao Yiyu should have returned with a small amount of food... Daphne has never understood why Gao Yiyu brought back meals for two people, but this is understandable, the band is currently in its infancy , everything has to be frugal.

But in fact——Gao Yiyu once saw Daphne watering herself, basking in the sun, getting close to the soil... So in her heart, this little goddess who has been transformed into a laurel tree and made into a harp is actually It is a plant that does not need to eat.

It's a pity that Daphne didn't know that the other party had misunderstood, and of course there was no way to correct it.

But no matter what - hunger is terrible.

"Hey, in the video game, the country I am in charge of is so rich under my governance... but it is so in reality!"

Daphne crawled on the computer desk, lamenting constantly.

"For thousands of years, I have lived in seclusion beside the most powerful emperors in the West. I know how to govern a country, but I don't know how terrible it is to be hungry."

She even put her mind on those plants in the house that lack sunlight and are a little bit wilted, maybe they can eat them?

In any case, it was useless to count on Gao Yiyu and Joannis. They didn't come back after going out, which meant that they must have encountered trouble outside, so they didn't bother to bring food back.Daphne understood this, and in this case, she had to take care of herself and go to help as soon as possible.

Fortunately, she still has ideas.

first of all--

She remembered that Joannis would go to the kitchen quietly at night to find food, and every time she came out of the kitchen, Joannis always smiled, so there must be some food reserves in the kitchen.

Daphne recalled Joannes' route and followed suit.On the second floor of the cabinet, deep in some seasonings, there is the smell of Yoannis, coming from the straw paper package.

"found it."

She opened the paper bag carefully, only to find that it was not some kind of food reserve.

Instead... half a brown sugar with Joannes's tooth marks on it...

Well, brown sugar works too and provides a lot of energy.Daphne avoided the side where Joannis gnawed, took a few mouthfuls from the other side, and then drank some water, barely having the strength to work.

then--

As visitors from other eras, in modern times, the first problem they face is their legal identity and household registration.Different from ancient times, in this era of digitalization, if you want to be a black household, you can only go to underdeveloped countries.

Without a household registration, there is no ID card, no mobile phone number, and no money-related savings power. In this era, it is difficult to think about paper cash, so the first thing she needs to solve is a usable identity .

In fact, she's already worked it out.

It's not every day she plays history games on her computer and reunites with old friends she's actually met and talked to.Instead, they also use the convenience of the Internet to collect information, communicate with people, and learn about various industries.

Of course, there is a gray industrial chain.

This is an era when usury is booming. Rich people are lending money legally and crazily, using various methods to coerce and lure those who do not need to consume in advance to use loans, and then compound the interest.

As a result, many people choose to take out loans, but of course they still don't pay.

Those who are not yet on the list are called Lao Lai, and the lender will not do it himself, but has a group of professional debt collectors.In order to deal with debt collectors, Lao Lai will also have some coping methods, including coordinators, talkers, and middlemen—that is, occupations that help deal with debt collection.

All of this is no different from the thousands of years of history.

Rather, in this era, you can easily borrow usury loans with just two taps of your hands. In ancient times, at least you had to go out for a walk and chat with people for a while.

This industrial chain is what Daphne is aiming at.

She didn't intend to borrow money, nor did she intend to lend money, let alone help in collections, but became a role of helping people to avoid debts.

Today, this profession is called "law".

The way of legal affairs to block debts is actually very simple, that is to delay the time for borrowers.

Collectors often use a lot of telephone harassment, informing relatives, work units, threats of dishonesty and prosecution to collect debts, which will exhaust the borrowers physically and mentally.But if the trouble is left to the legal staff, then they can concentrate on their work.

To put it simply, they will hand over a phone card, a spare mobile phone, and specific loan information to the legal counsel.

The legal job is to answer the phone, not to be threatened by the other party, but to negotiate with the other party to waive interest, extend the installment period, persuade the other party not to continue to harass, push the debtor, etc.

People like legal affairs know the scope of the law, are well versed in the operation of the entire industry, and even have an agreement with the debt collector itself.

A few days ago, Daphne was on the Internet, pretending to be someone from a certain legal company, and contacted an old Lai who was harassed by Alipay's collection, and reached a debt protection agreement.

After some communication, the other party actually sent the mobile phone and the information directly by courier...

It has to be said that these people will borrow usury, so it is reasonable to be cheated by the so-called legal affairs again.

In this way, Daphne has a mobile phone and a calling card, obtained the basic human rights in modern society, and can start the next step.

Although after turning on the mobile phone, it is a bit annoying to be harassed by a large number of unsightly text messages and bombarded with various numbers one after another, but this is still a mobile phone that can be used freely, and it is time to use it to make money.

Usury software—oh no, of course there is nothing left in Alipay. The money owed by the creditor plus interest and overdue fees add up to hundreds of thousands. It is used to buy cosmetics, superficial electronic products that will soon be outdated, recharge games, high-end places in hotels and restaurants and consumption...

Forget it, don't read it.

Daphne had an idea about the way to accumulate initial capital. In fact, she found a few more people who owe money, pretended to be a legal counsel, and asked for dozens of mobile phones and calling cards from them, and then sold them.But this is fraud, very immoral, basically the same as Alipay, and Daphne still has her own moral cleanliness.

So, she decided to use another method.

She answered a collection call.

"I can pay back the money."

"... Oh?" ​​The other party was a little surprised.

"Full repayment because I'm going to go home and sell the house and have money right away."

"Then hurry up." The other party urged me very rudely.

Daphne was calm, pretending to be weak—in fact, she was not faking, because she was really hungry: "You guys have an agreement with Alipay, I know, how much money you get back, you can get a few points from it, But I hope you understand that I plan to return the other apps first."

"What? The rest are small loans. Our Alipay is linked to the credit report. It is a formal software promoted and endorsed by the government. You'd better pay this back first, and your credit can be restored!"

"It's like this. I plan to pay back the other apps first after selling the house, because I don't have enough travel expenses now, so I can only walk over to trade with the buyer. It takes 2 kilometers to walk. I'm hungry and tired. The outsourced collection of other apps follows me. Tell me, if you pay it over there first, you can give me some travel expenses."

"I can also borrow you, and I can also borrow your meal expenses, as long as you pay us back first."

"borrow?"

"I can apply for a temporary quota for your Huabei, and you can use Huabei to make Didi."

Daphne was silent, she didn't give cash... What a terrible time.

She had no choice but to hang up the other party's phone and answer another one. After all, the creditor did borrow a lot.

The caller this time is from another small loan collector. Daphne’s old trick is repeated. This time, she made it clear that Alipay is willing to lend her money to take a taxi. It is very heartwarming, so I plan to pay back Alipay first after selling the house. .

After listening, the small loan person was silent for a while: "Is Alipay a bit disgusting?"

"is a bit……"

"Hey, sister, it's not easy for you. I'll give you 50 yuan, so don't take it too hard."

In this way, with a nice voice and a wonderful resonance, Daphne got the start-up capital of 50 yuan and stored it in WeChat.

The reason why he is here is because the elder brother who collects money seems to want to chat with his younger sister, and Daphne thoughtfully found a few online pictures and sent them to the other party, which can be regarded as repaying the angel's investment.

With a huge sum of 50 yuan, she didn't immediately look for a way to fill her stomach, but continued to hold on with the small half of brown sugar and water.

She downloaded a well-known gambling app, and now this thing is doing activities, the first order guarantees compensation, and the first deposit has rebates, and it is a perfect business that has never changed since ancient times and is enough to be eternal.Daphne knew that this was the most disgusting trap in the world, but in special times, it was helpless to take advantage of it a little bit.

50 yuan was deposited into it as a bargaining chip, and the payee was one of their shell companies in mainland China, who were responsible for each other and were always changing randomly.

As a goddess who can see through the essence of all things, she has seen countless eras by the side of emperors and generals. She knows the essence of all the items here and where to win money.

The best ones are those physical events, because they are very obviously manipulated. As long as you know the handicap and make long-term stable bets, Daphne is sure that you can win, but they are not available all the time.So for now, Daphne has chosen Texas Hold'em.

Although her hungry mind is dizzy, she can win against humans with her eyes closed.

In less than an hour - she added many zeros to her stake.

But...cannot withdraw cash.

"...So, there is twice the turnover? What do you mean? I have to deposit twice the principal before I can withdraw money?! This... This is a fraud, a bottomless fraud!"

How can she have money...

In this way, Daphne deeply understood that the richness of theoretical knowledge will be defeated by the changeable practical operation.

Although gods can see the essence of all things, human beings use cunning and experience to seal all loopholes.

"It's better not to touch this kind of thing..." At least, she got such a valuable lesson.

……

Around afternoon, Gao Yiyu and Joannis returned home.

Daphne seemed to be burning out, sleeping on the floor, holding a strange mobile phone in her hand.She curled her small body into a ball, without a quilt or pillow, and only her long hair could provide some softness and warmth.
