Chapter 2: Now Is Not Ten Years Ago

I have a route in Thailand, though the risk is a bit high……

Chen Yaozu always felt he had heard this sentence somewhere before, but for a moment he couldn't recall where.

On the other end of the phone, this San Shu gave him a phone number, telling him to contact this person once he arrived in Bangkok.

Listen to advice and eat your fill.

So, Chen Yaozu hurriedly rummaged through boxes and cabinets to find his passport, and money.

UnionPay cards still work in Thailand, and he already knew the bank card password from his memory, so as long as he took his passport and bank card, and his phone, he hurried downstairs.

The moment he stepped out the door, he hid away any panic, walking out openly and calmly.

It's a flight! Although he had no actual experience, it's often acted out on TV, so he still had some pointers.

After going downstairs and out the door, he didn't call a ride-hailing car, nor did he immediately hail a taxi; instead, he turned a corner, walked a few steps to that industrial park intersection nearby, first withdrew some cash at an ATM, then came out and walked toward the vehicles at the intersection.

Because this place has no cameras, quite a few unlicensed cabs are parked here, hauling people and goods for the industrial park.

Even that kind of small minivan that can stuff in 20 people is among them.

Right now, the vehicle Chen Yaozu pulled open the door to is a Wuling Hongguang; he didn't sit in the front row, but sat in the back row.

"Driver, I'm rushing to the airport to pick someone up, how much?"

The driver, who had been looking down playing a game, didn't care that his teammate was starting a group match; he put down his phone, turned back, and smiled with a face full of wrinkles: "Boss, from here to the airport is over 110 kilometers, one way is 400 yuan, round trip you just give 600!"

This kind of impatient person who doesn't even have time to wait for a ride-hailing car is definitely an urgent order from some company inside the industrial park rushing to pick up a client; this is also a very rare order for these unlicensed cabs.

One less order for each one taken, so the asking price is usually especially high; of course you can also bargain.

The price this unlicensed cab driver quoted right now is just waiting for you to bargain.

But what the unlicensed cab driver didn't expect was that the other party actually didn't bargain a single cent.

"Good, drive!"

Chen Yaozu didn't waste time bargaining with the other party; he opened his phone, checked flights to Bangkok, the nearest one was in less than three hours.

He didn't book a ticket, because it's currently the tourism off-season, there are many flights to Bangkok and they're easy to buy, buying last-minute is fine, as long as it doesn't exceed the ticket purchase and check-in cutoff time.

Buying right up against the deadline is fine.

Right now, try not to leave any traces.

But actually time is very tight; in the original body's hypnotized memories, his transcendence was heading for mutual destruction, so he hadn't planned to conceal anything; as a result, whether fingerprints or footprints, they were all blatantly everywhere in the house.

He just casually closed the door behind him when he left; as long as no guests come to the house, the most generous time estimate is only two or three days.

Because after two or three days, even a closed door won't be able to cover up the strong stench of a corpse!

Once discovered, those fingerprints and footprints all over the house can very clearly be traced to Chen Yaozu's fingerprint information from the ID database.

So, right now it's a race against time.

Returning from there took over six hours, lying in the bathtub to commit suicide took another two hours.

Me rushing to the airport now, time is actually already very tight.

But, according to his mental calculation, this is the most direct escape route and also the most effective escape route.

It's just rushing for time, leaving it to fate!

In this era where Sky Eyes are everywhere, where internet traces are everywhere, fleeing domestically is only possible before the incident breaks.

The journey went smoothly; Chen Yaozu watched the time, bought a flight ticket to Bangkok right up against the deadline while in the car, rushed into the airport, and at the fastest speed exchanged for a boarding pass and boarded.

When passing security, he was actually still a bit nervous inside, but aside from security personnel looking at him a few extra times curiously because he wasn't carrying any luggage, there were no accidents.

He got on the plane.

In the nearly half hour waiting for takeoff on the plane, he felt as if several decades of suffering had passed.

To keep himself from suffering so much, after tossing and turning restlessly for several minutes, he finally thought to study the miraculous Wooden Talisman that had drilled into his glabella.

But this Wooden Talisman, after it was formed and drilled into his glabella, had not the slightest movement; no matter how he silently recited or called out in his heart, there was no response.

To tell the truth, before transmigrating he had read quite a few novels, but always just to kill time; he never felt those things would be real, and never thought this kind of transmigration similar to novel plots would one day happen to him.

Now, transmigration has actually been encountered by him.

According to convention, then this Wooden Talisman counts as his Golden Finger? But the information given to him simply had no information about this talisman at all.

Now, he can't contact it at all either.

When he deliberately shifted his attention away and focused on studying this thing inside his head, time passed quickly.

With a slight vibration, the plane began to taxi, raising its head into the sky.

Chen Yaozu, who had been pretending to be focused all along, only then let his heart relax.

He looked toward the airport terminal, as if he could see police personnel swarming over to catch him, too bad they were a step too late.

Of course, this is just his imagination.

In fact, he knows he hasn't reached safety yet.

If the murder case scene at the original body's ex-girlfriend's house is discovered, then the Police will definitely investigate his whereabouts.

Ride-hailing, high-speed rail, planes — all require ID to buy tickets; even taking the subway has facial recognition.

Wherever he's been, just one tap on a computer can produce this person's movement trajectory.

So as long as the murder case scene is discovered, even if he's already boarded the plane it's not safe; if there's genuine suspicion, they only need one phone call, and he might be detained the moment he arrives at Bangkok airport, then deported.

He might not even need to reach Bangkok airport; if truly discovered, he's very likely to have already been detained by the crew on the plane.

So, it's still that sentence: racing against time.

Before the murder case scene committed by the original body is discovered, linking up with the person from the phone number San Shu gave, only then counts as safety.

During the several hours of flight, to keep his nervousness from being discovered by others, he directly closed his eyes and leaned on the seat, began to discard all distracting thoughts, and seriously studied his glabella area. Finally, after who knows how long, it was as if a "Boom—" exploded in his mind; with eyes closed, he finally saw a scene.

In a dark yet visible space, a small black Wooden Tablet floated there, neither far nor near, neither high nor low, it was just there.

But in such a space, there was only that small black Wooden Tablet, nothing else; Chen Yaozu couldn't even see himself.

He wanted to walk over, wanted to grab that small black Wooden Talisman and study just what this thing is? He wanted to see just how this Golden Finger is to be utilized, to be able to let him gain help.

But he suddenly shuddered violently and woke up.

After waking, he didn't even know whether he had just been dreaming or had truly entered that pitch-black space and seen that wooden talisman.

However, now is not the time to study this; the main priority right now is getting off the plane, because the plane has already landed and is taxiing.

Very soon, the plane came to a stop.

Chen Yaozu had no luggage, so he took the lead and walked out, all the way out of the airport, before his anxious heart finally relaxed.

He bought a SIM card at a phone shop outside the airport and, following the phone number San Shu gave, dialed it.

"Hello, my name is Chen Yaozu. My San Shu said you have a way here……"

……

The way San Shu gave was to contact this dark, skinny Thai man in front of him; his name is Songcai, but he speaks Chinese extremely well, albeit with a bit of a southern accent.

"No need to find it strange; my ancestors were also Chinese, from the Shantou area.

I also have a Han name, called Qiu Xianmin.

I'm old friends with your uncle."

If Chen Yaozu were still that original 26-year-old young man, he might have believed this kind of jianghu pleasantry.

But inside this young shell now resides the soul of a 41-year-old uncle.

So he knew this was just pleasantry.

Thus he hurriedly replied: "Oh! So it's Mr. Qiu! Thank you for the trouble this time!"

The other party waved his hand: "Hey, in Thailand, calling me Songcai would be better! I heard from your uncle that you're in a hurry and that you've committed a capital crime, so he gave me 300,000 to buy a way."

300,000!!! Just to buy a way!

What kind of way is worth 300,000? Chen Yaozu still doesn't know what kind of way that "San Shu" of his wants to buy from this Thai man.

But this 300,000 — this San Shu is still quite generous to his own nephew.

In the memories he obtained, this San Shu didn't seem that rich either; it's just unknown why he would know a local snake like this in Thailand.

"Mr. Songcai, I want to know, what kind of way did my uncle spend 300,000 to buy?"

The dark, skinny local snake was in a good mood, so today he explained very patiently: "If it were ten years ago, there would be no need for so much trouble at all.

As long as a person fled to Thailand, no matter what crime you committed, it basically counted as safe.

But these past few years, your Domestic side seems to have stopped pretending, becoming more and more overbearing.

People who committed crimes and fled to Thailand aren't necessarily safe either; many were located, and with a single phone call were arrested by the Thai police and deported back.

So people who run here, to shake off their original troubles, need to wipe clean all traces and swap for a new identity to live in Thailand.

From now on you'll be called Da Wangcai; I'll arrange a remote mountain village background for you, how about that?"

For a local snake like him, to fabricate an identity — and a genuine Thai identity at that — as long as there's money, everything is no problem.

300,000 RMB, and he can arrange Da Wangcai's life history from childhood clearly and completely.

This also seems like a good way out; Chen Yaozu thought to himself, just about to agree and offer thanks.

Suddenly, the wooden talisman that had entered his glabella abruptly sent a warning message.

【Warning: Do not change identity information.

You are not a person native to this world, and in the original world you yourself already had no lifespan left.

Now your identity has swapped fate with this world's Chen Yaozu.

Aside from the fate carried by the identity of Chen Yaozu, you cannot, like a person originally native to this world, change your name and surname to newly generate a new fate.

If you change your name, you have no lifespan.

Remember: from now on, walk without changing your name, sit without changing your surname, otherwise you will die instantly!】

Ah! There's even this kind of rule?

To tell the truth, if not for the wooden talisman suddenly giving that reminder, Chen Yaozu would have almost forgotten that he was originally supposed to be a dead man.

This is a bit troublesome now! Chen Yaozu looked at the dark, skinny local snake with a troubled face: "Mr. Songcai, sorry, for certain reasons I cannot change my name and identity."

The dark, skinny local snake froze for a moment, then reacted: "Not changing works too, as long as the crime isn't too big, there shouldn't be much issue.

I'll arrange you in a remote place, live there for a few years, wait for the heat to die down! Right, you've got just one life on you, right?"

Chen Yaozu shook his head woodenly, recalling the original body's memories after being hypnotized.

The original body's ex-girlfriend, her parents, her younger brother, and the sister-in-law that younger brother married using the bride price the original body gave.

He then extended a palm and spread it open!

"What?"

The dark, skinny local snake looked with some surprise at this young man who, because of his fair complexion, appeared a bit childish.

"Such a huge case!!! Without changing name and identity, Thailand fundamentally cannot hide you!

Even if you changed name and identity, Thailand might not be able to hide you either!

If your whereabouts are discovered, your Domestic side makes one phone call and the Thai police have to hand you over! It's not ten years ago anymore!"
