Chapter 1 Leaves and Little Lori
Ye Zi was walking briskly down the street with an umbrella, and he was still carrying a plastic bag that had been wet by the rain, and inside was a very simple bento, but God knows if he could eat it now.
It was the rush hour, and the roads that were already blocked were now flooded due to heavy rains. Ye Zi's ears were full of noisy honking sounds, and occasionally there would be a few standard city scoldings, and there was a convenience store not far in front of him, but the distance of just one road seemed to have become the end of the world.
"I'm going to be late..."
Ye Zi looked up at the other side of the road with a sad face, but at this moment, he saw a strange scene that he had never seen in the past eighteen years.
As if in an instant, a few dragon-like lightning flashes in the sky, and in the deafening thunder, all the dark clouds that could be seen were rapidly gathering towards this area, turning dusk into night in a very short time. On the ground, Ye Zi and the pedestrians around him were stunned to see the signal lights flashing like crazy, and all the cars parked in the middle of the road because of the congestion began to make their own shrill horns, and even some car owners were so frightened that they rushed out.
In the distance, the high-rise buildings also become flickering and darkening, like a mirage in the desert, like space movement in science fiction, in short, those buildings made of steel and concrete become more and more illusory in the eyes of people, twisting and folding like silhouettes in foam.
"It's... Is it the end of the world?"
Ye Zi subconsciously rubbed his eyes, and before he could feel afraid, all the "illusions" suddenly stopped, the vehicle returned to quiet, and the buildings in the distance also stood there safely, as if nothing strange had never happened.
The whole process didn't even take a minute, and everyone felt like they had a very short dream, and when they woke up, it was clear that nothing had happened, but it seemed that something had really changed.
"Hey... I thought I had a dream just now..."
"Me too, is it a hallucination, right? Or is it the end of the world?"
"Is it a mirage that happened during a rainstorm? But it's not scientific!"
……
Whispers like this gradually sounded, but the torrential rain did not stop at all, and the cold and raging rain temporarily extinguished the fire of gossip of many people, and after making sure that there was nothing abnormal anymore, it slowly dispersed with excitement on his face.
Ye Zi blinked, although what happened just now made him a little inexplicably excited, but now his attention had shifted to other places - a little girl's body.
For many years to come, he never forgot the scene of a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl squatting alone by a telephone pole in the midst of a raging storm, she had no umbrella, and the rain continued to drip down her straight black hair, causing ripples, and her expression was also very lonely, like a poor orphan abandoned by her parents, and like a faint candle flame, flickering with the last light.
But most importantly, Ye Zi swore that he had never seen such a cute girl, she was like a perfect angel who escaped from the two-dimensional world, and she already had a peerless posture that was enough to captivate the country and the city at a young age.
Ye Zi was amazed by the appearance of the little Lori, but he quickly came back to his senses, because he found that there were other people who had also discovered the little Lori, it was a few young people who were hiding under the eaves and smoking, all with the evil smiles on their faces that you can imagine.
Ye Zi sighed, walked quickly in front of the little girl with an umbrella, and at the same time blocked the sight of the group of unemployed vagrants with his body: "You can't find your family?"
He tried his best to use a very gentle tone, for fear of scaring the little girl, but when the little girl's gaze moved to his face, Ye Zi was startled by her instead.
The girl's eyes were more beautiful than they were from afar, and although they were more Asian, their pupils were a faint royal blue, like crystals. It's just that the little girl's eyes were too indifferent, there was no anger or joy, so she glanced at Ye Zi coldly, but it was like a god looking at an ant on the ground, full of endless majesty.
Seeing that Ye Zi took a step back in shame, the corner of the little girl's mouth pulled out a disdainful smile, and she lowered her head again and immersed herself in her own world.
"If you don't need my help, you'd better go to the police uncle, it's really not safe to be alone. ”
The gentle voice sounded again, Xiao Lori raised her head in surprise, Ye Zi still looked at her with that harmless smile, and when she saw herself, she snorted her mouth again, signaling her to pay attention to the bad teenagers not far away.
"Huh. The girl is still arrogant and indifferent, looking like "everyone here is a spicy chicken".
Ye Zi finally had nothing to do, but he didn't dare to leave alone, those little thugs had been wandering after smoking early in the morning, obviously they already had some dirty thoughts.
Just as he was struggling, a flash of fluorescent light flashed his vision - at the intersection, a traffic police officer was on duty in the rain, and the congested traffic was obviously gradually unblocked because of his appearance.
"In this case, I'll call the police uncle to help you, you stand here and don't leave. Ye Zi touched the hair of the little Lori, didn't pay attention to the expression of the little Lori who wanted to kill him, thought about it and stuffed the umbrella into her hand, and ran towards the traffic police under the heavy rain.
Ye Zi didn't know that when he turned around, countless bolts of lightning suddenly gathered in the sky, and as long as someone gave an order, they would pour towards this young man!
"But—" A hint of hesitation flashed in the little girl's eyes, she looked at the umbrella in her hand, and then at the tall back of the clothes that were instantly soaked in the rainstorm, and finally quietly snapped her fingers.
With her casual movements, the lightning suddenly disappeared, and even the rain became a little smaller at this moment.
"Hmph, I'll spare you this time!" the little girl snorted coldly, and then glanced at the few little gangsters who were about to move, "If it weren't for you spicy chickens, this god wouldn't have been touched by that mortal!"
The little girl twitched the corner of her eye, and a cold smile flashed across her face.
……
When Ye Zi pulled the traffic police Shu Huang back here, the little girl was gone, as if she had never been there.
And across the road, the young people who tried to tease the little Lori of the good family were lying on the ground. If it weren't for the fact that one of them was too dressed to kill Matt, Ye Zi might not have recognized these people at all.
But Ye Zi estimated that they were already dead, didn't he see that one of the guys' meat was about to be roasted?
Even more puzzling is that the lightning seems to be "prepared". Because in addition to these unlucky eggs, even the commissary next to it, which is only less than a meter away, is unscathed, and the owner of the commissary is vomiting while his eyebrows are dancing and telling others about what happened just now.
"It's miserable..."Ye Ziqiang turned his head to endure the feeling of vomiting. The rain gradually stopped, which made him feel a little more at ease, if the little girl left alone, at least he would not be affected by the heavy rain again, even emotionally.
"But it's really a cute little girl~"
Ye Zi smiled and shook his head, he just wanted to get to the store quickly, after all, the feeling of being wet all over his body was too uncomfortable.
However, he didn't notice that at the top of a building behind him, a little pale girl was silently watching him.
Those pale blue eyes flashed with indifference but a hint of curiosity.
