He had come to this last strange place not because Shang Qinghua was a strange man who knew many strange things (though he was), but because… because… it was becoming evident that if he did not seek out strange methods, he would never find Shang Qinghua if he did not wish to be found.
It was becoming evident that Shang Qinghua did not wish to be found.
In which Mobei-Jun becomes an accidental time-traveler and gets a second shot at his life with Shang Qinghua.</blockquote>
