Sister Lan thought that she had grown very strong, strong enough to accept it calmly even if she could not forget some of the past.

But in fact, she understood that when she saw that familiar face again today, the mood that she thought was calm in the ancient well was once again stirred up into turbulent waves.

It's a pity that the person she cares about in her heart has already forgotten everything and lost herself. Even her soul has been broken into countless pieces, and there is no memory of the past time anymore.

She walked out of the alley quickly, because Sister Lan didn't want others to see her weakness, or even expose her true feelings to others. This was a habit she had developed over the years.

However, at this moment, there were some untimely raindrops floating in the sky, and there was no shelter from the rain around. The residents of the alley would probably feel strange if they turned around and went back.

Forget it, let's find a place to hide under the shade of a tree - it's been a long time since we've been exposed to rain anyway, so it would be nice to feel the long-lost rain.

Sister Lan found an elm tree with a relatively lush canopy and hid in the dense shade. She leaned against the tree trunk and watched the raindrops in front of her getting bigger and bigger. From the beginning, it was like a wisp of threads, and now it has turned into a galloping shower.

It looked like it was going to rain heavily.

"Well - according to past experience, the heavy rain will only last about fifty seconds. Although I will definitely get wet, the shade of the trees alone cannot stop such a violent rain..." Sister Lan sighed softly.

, took a look at the watch... No, it was more like a high-tech bracelet than a watch.

On the LCD screen of the bracelet, in addition to the large time numbers in the most prominent position in the middle, there are also several rows of densely packed data below, and I don’t know what they are, and their values ​​​​are constantly changing, as if they are being monitored in real time.

And changes the same.

While looking at the countdown on her wristband, Sister Lan buried her body deeper into the shade of the tree. However, this was obviously in vain. Just as she expected, although there was no strong wind, the exaggerated rainfall was already comparable to

The most severe typhoon weather feels like a waterfall flying down from the sky.

The leaves on the top of the head could originally block most of the rain during drizzle, but now they were unable to withstand it, and the water that had been blocked before was revealed, and all of it poured onto Sister Lan's head.

"It was a bit of a misstep. I originally thought I could get back home or at least the transit station before the rain started today, but unexpectedly I was delayed by unexpected circumstances. I just walked out of the alley now - it seems that I will be in the

Build an awning at the entrance of the alley?" Sister Lan said to herself while holding her head and closing her eyes to prevent the violent rainwater from flowing into her eyes:

"No... forget it. Building a canopy will attract people around you. If you have close contact with people in the alley, it will be troublesome. You will probably be picked on by the old man's people..."

Although she was thinking about these unimportant things, she was silently counting down the duration of the rainstorm in her heart. She just had to endure it for another half minute - after thirty seconds, the rain would stop and the wind would stop, and the clouds would clear and the sun would appear.

Hexi's sunshine will return to the earth, and the wet body can be slowly dried.

Twenty-nine, twenty-eight, twenty-seven...the rain stopped?

No! Sister Lan suddenly opened her eyes and saw that the heavy rain in front of her was still pouring. The huge raindrops struck the ground and resonated like a symphony. It was still raining happily, but she could not feel the heavy rain above her head.

Any drop of rain falls.

"Miss Lan Yinghua, why don't you find a place to hide from the rain? Isn't that alley just a step away?"

A somewhat thick middle-aged man's voice sounded behind Sister Lan, and at this moment she also caught a glimpse of a large black umbrella above her head.

"Who are you?!" Sister Lan immediately turned around and looked at the uninvited guest in front of her with vigilance - as expected, he was a middle-aged man, with a somewhat out-of-shape figure due to gaining weight, a big belly, and wearing a pair of thick-rimmed glasses.

It's very elegant and polite when you go up there.

However, she never remembered that she had met this person, and she was very sure that her real name would never be easily known to strangers.

Moreover, what is even more unacceptable is——

"Why can you take action now? The rain hasn't stopped yet, right?" Sister Lan said coldly, "Are they from the core faction? Are you planning to come and eliminate me?"

"Isn't the rain going to stop soon?" The man pointed to the sky above his head with a smile, "There are still twenty seconds? No, there are only ten seconds left, and then the sky will be clear again, and everything will return to

On the normal track of destiny, it has always been like this, isn’t it?”

"With such detailed information, you are not only not an ordinary person, but you may also be a dangerous person - thank you for your umbrella, but I don't need it!"

Sister Lan was still talking normally, but her body suddenly flew backwards - to be precise, she pushed her feet hard on the ground and jumped backwards, but because her skills were too strong and agile, she

To others, it looked like an invisible hand grabbed her and flew out.

At the same time, she also spilled a large pile of wet leaves from her right hand, covering most of the other person's sight. She secretly picked them from a nearby branch while talking to the middle-aged man.

This retreat and escape are her ways of escaping, but all her means are not that simple.

"Oh oh oh... it hurts. What did you put on this leaf?" The man used his hands to push away the leaves that flew in front of him, but suddenly he felt that part of the skin that touched the leaves began to feel as if it had been burned by fire.

It burned.

"That is a new type of organic acid that is highly oxidizing and corrosive. You should quickly find a place to wash your hands with alkaline soap, otherwise you will inevitably have two pits on your hands in the future."

As Sister Lan ran towards the path behind the alley, she said this sentence - it seemed that when she spilled the leaves, she had already smeared this organic acid on them, although the man did not see it at all.

, where did she take out the reagent, and when did she do it.

However, in response to Sister Lan's warning, the man just smiled indifferently and put his acid-stained hand into the rain.

Dense raindrops hit the fat hand that seemed to be well-maintained, red and elastic, and white mist rose from his hand. The man felt a sting that was more intense than before, and he couldn't help but frown.

"I'll give you another piece of advice. This kind of organic acid will only react more violently when it comes into contact with water. It's impossible to stop the reaction without neutralizing it with alkaline substances." Sister Lan had already run to the turning intersection and dropped this sentence from a distance.

.

But the man remained unmoved, and still stretched his arms straight out in the rain, letting the water droplets that had begun to gradually become smaller flow all over the palm of his hand, making the rising white mist even more intense, and even felt as if his hand was being held captive.
