Chapter 22: The Stranger
Early in the morning!
Everything is as usual, and the actions of the illusion and the dust last night have dissipated like smoke, and there is no trace of it.
Lu Li left the hotel and came to the square again. In the distance, Lu Li had already heard a familiar melody, where it was yesterday's girl playing.
Lu Li walked slowly, the girl seemed to hear his footsteps, turned around when he was near, looked at Lu Li with a smile and said, "You're finally here!"
He noticed that the girl had changed into a light green dress and light makeup, and she looked even more beautiful than yesterday.
"You came so early, you live near here?" Lu Li asked, the girl nodded, and the two sat together, putting their hands on the keys.
"Then let's get started. The girl started to play first, her melody was as gentle and sweet as ever, Lu Li also began to play, along with the girl's rhythm, the girl's face was filled with a happy smile, and she enjoyed the time in front of her.
After a song, the girl suddenly stopped, she turned her head to look at Lu Li blankly, he was a little overwhelmed.
"What's wrong, why are you looking at me like this?" Lu Li asked.
"Do you think you've been getting a lot of strangers here lately, especially at night. The girl suddenly asked.
"I don't think so. Lu Li said with a smile, because to him, everyone here was a stranger.
"Hahaha, that's true, because you're a stranger. The girl laughed, "You've just been here, haven't you?"
Lu Li nodded in response, maybe the strangers she mentioned just now were people who included Fantasy and Reverse Dust, but those people were very well disguised, and ordinary people should not be able to see the clues.
"Today, the feeling you gave me has changed a little, what happened yesterday?" the girl asked again, Lu Li was a little surprised at this time, how could this girl's senses be so keen, even these could be perceived.
And after he fought with the door master yesterday, his state of mind was indeed a little affected, he didn't want to reveal his identity, but the door master fled, and the most important thing is that the door master has seen him, and the risk of him being exposed is higher.
"I didn't sleep well yesterday and was a little tired, it's nothing. Lu Li said casually.
"Then today you will be in charge, play what you like, how about I cooperate with you?" The girl did not break Lu Li's words, and kept a little distance.
Lu Li didn't object, he closed his eyes, recalling Wen Lihai's memories. In that memory, there are a few tunes that Wen Lihai likes the most and plays most often.
The sound of the piano came slowly, and the tone was very gentle.
The girl watched Lu Li's obsessed appearance from the side, but she didn't join in for a long time. Lu Li's tempo quickened, and the melody in his memory began to spread from between his ten fingers.
The girl's expression changed suddenly, and this song had a touching feeling.
At this moment, in another part of the street, a girl suddenly slowed down.
"Miss, what's the matter?" asked the man dressed in black beside her.
"Did you hear that tune?"
"Tune?" the man said in surprise.
"Nothing, maybe I misheard. The girl hesitated for a moment and said, she wanted to take a step and continue walking forward, but there was an intermittent piano music behind her.
"I'll go there!" the girl didn't go forward, but turned and followed the music, and several men in black behind her followed her.
As the distance narrowed, the sound of the piano gradually became clearer, and the girl's steps quickened, and she passed through the crowd of onlookers and saw someone playing on the piano.
That person is Lu Li!
The girl stopped to listen, her breathing was noticeably short, and she wore a pair of sunglasses on her face, under which tears flowed from the corners of her eyes. Seeing this, several men beside him immediately cheered up.
"Miss, is he someone you know?" the man asked puzzled, this person was an acquaintance, but he had never seen this person with the woman all the year round. The woman did not answer him, and listened to the song very quietly.
Lu Li was intoxicated with the memories of the song, and Xiao Jiang beside him finally began to play, and she naturally accessed, echoing Lu Li's piano sound.
Just like Lu Li yesterday, he can read the girl's state of mind, and right now, Xiao Jiang seems to be able to read Lu Li's state of mind.
She could feel the changes in the land realm, she closed her eyes, and in the hazy vision, a figure slowly condensed. But that was Lu Li's figure? It seemed to be a little different.
She saw a very magnificent time, which was full of the fragrance of spring, the grass grew and the warbler flew, full of life, and felt so warm.
After the sound of the piano receded, the wonderful feeling gradually faded, and she slowly opened her eyes, and Lu Li's face slowly became clear in her field of vision.
She was still unsatisfied, and the sound of the piano just now seemed to take her into a wonderful world, in that world, she saw a figure, but that figure didn't seem to be Lu Li.
Not far away, the girl standing in the crowd unconsciously shed tears, the song had long since dissipated, but the melody still seemed to linger in her ears.
"It's a piece of music that my dad wrote......... How could he do these tunes?" the girl murmured, and the tears in her eyes disappeared, looking at Lu Li, but not approaching.
"Miss, Madame is still waiting for you to go back, do you know this man, do you want me to call him?" asked the man next to him in a low voice, he couldn't hear the charm of this song.
For him, this song is indeed good, but this is just a song sold on the side of the road, how can it cause such a big reaction from Miss? Could it be because this person has something to do with Miss?
They don't dare to think about it, after all, these things have nothing to do with them!
The girl shook her head softly and sighed, saying that she didn't know someone. She turned to leave, followed closely by several men behind her. And just as she was leaving, a strange feeling suddenly came from the bottom of Lu Li's heart, he looked up and looked around, and saw the figure of the woman in the distance.
But Lu Li wasn't sure if this strange feeling was caused by this woman, so he shifted his gaze and found that as he stopped playing, there were more passers-by leaving. And this feeling is fleeting and elusive.
"What's the name of this piece?
Xiao Jiang's voice came from Lu Li's ears, he walked out of that strange feeling, Xiao Jiang's words he didn't know how to answer, in his memory, this was Wen Lihai's own song, it didn't seem to have a name.
"Could it be that this is a piece that you improvised to compose?" Xiao Jiang was even more shocked, this piece was the most beautiful piece she had ever heard, but what made her more concerned was that she could feel an incomparably wonderful state of mind from this piece just now.
She didn't think it was improvised by Lu Li, but as for the reason, she couldn't say.
"When I think of the name, I can tell you!" Lu Li said with a smile, he also wanted to know the name of this song, but he couldn't take the initiative to explore Wen Lihai's memory, maybe one day, after Wen Lihai released more memories, he would also know the name of this song.
"Hahaha, you're funny. Xiao Jiang Waner smiled, she got up to clean up, and then arranged for someone to send the piano back.
"Can you take a walk with me now?" asked Xiao Jiang, Lu Li got up to accompany her, and the two walked back down the street.
Xiao Jiang also had a lot of questions in his heart, but he never asked, as if he deliberately kept a distance in his heart, did not approach each other, and the two were silent for a long time.
"Maybe tomorrow, I don't think I will come again. Xiao Jiang said suddenly.
"Why?"
"During this time, I hit a creative bottleneck, so I wanted to come to this place for some inspiration. However, fortunately, I met you this time, and I feel some direction, so I will study it at home for a while. Xiao Jiang smiled, she looked at Lu Li's expression, as if after hearing her words, Lu Li's expression was as usual, as if her things were not important to Lu Li.
"I have a very good idea of the name of this piece. If you can't find a good name, can you consider my name?"
"Yes, what's the name?"
"I'll tell you next time. Xiao Jiang laughed.
"Okay, then remember to tell me next time!" Lu Li said with a smile.
"Next time?" Lu thought to himself, he might soon leave the city, in the vast sea of people, I am afraid that we will not meet again in the future.
"What, do you think you won't meet again in the future?" Xiao Jiang saw Lu Li's thoughts, she smiled, "We'll definitely meet, I feel this way." ”
Lu Li also smiled, indeed this matter also depends on fate, maybe they will meet again.
"Is Lu Li your real name?"
"Yes, definitely. ”
"Lu Li....... I remember your name. So be it this time, I'm leaving, we'll see you next time, you must take care!" Xiao Jiang said.
Lu Li stopped and did not send it far. The two looked at each other and smiled, and then Xiao Jiang turned around and left the place. Lu Li looked at her disappearing figure, thinking all in his heart.
They didn't leave each other's contact information, and they didn't seem to expect too much contact with each other, but at the moment of separation, Lu Li's heart was a little expectant, maybe they could really meet again. It's just that at that time, whether Xiao Jiang still remembers him or not, it's not necessarily.
Lu Li left in the opposite direction, for him, Xiao Jiang's appearance was just a small episode in his new life, and he still had very important things to do now. Thinking of this, Lu Li changed direction and walked towards a place in Wen Lihai's memory.
..........
In another area, in a luxury hotel, Chen Feng and the others gathered together again.
"What did you gain this time?" Chen Feng asked everyone.
"We don't have much to gain, there are too many fantastic and rebellious people in this city, and they have a lot of strongholds, if we act too obviously, they will be detected, and now at our current speed, it is not so easy to find out effective information. It was Liu Yan who replied, and during these three days of observation, he found that almost every street would have a floating or anti-dust stronghold, and those people had been completely integrated into the lives of ordinary people.
Even if they know that those storefronts are the strongholds of the Floating and Reverse Dust, they don't know who is the Floating and Reverse Dust people, there are many people in each stronghold, and these people can't all be people from another world.
