The sun is scorching and the sky is cloudless.
Although White Dew has passed for several days, the temperature in Kyoto still hasn't dropped.
Especially since it was noon, the sunlight shining on people made their skin feel slightly hot.
Xie Xihe and her group walked out of the subway station. The sudden brighter light made her squint slightly.
"Huh, the Kyoto subway is still as crowded as ever. There are so many people at noon. If it happens during the morning and evening rush hours, the subway will be crushed."
Wu Wei said, unable to help but look at Xie Xihe, jokingly saying, "I heard that agencies always provide celebrities with nanny cars or something. Xihe, doesn't your company provide you with a car?"
This question was a bit awkward. Yu Jianing couldn't help but tug at Wu Wei's clothes and took over the conversation, "There are five of us, and one car can't fit us. Isn't Xihe here to accompany us?"
"Besides, isn't it good to take the subway? It's energy-saving, environmentally friendly, convenient, and has plenty of space. It's a means of transportation that costs hundreds of millions of dollars. Isn't it better than a private car?" Yu Jianing said with a smile.
Zhong Yuxiu, who was following closely beside Xie Xihe, withdrew her gaze from the subway station and nodded in agreement: "Yes, taking the subway is good."
Wu Wei was speechless.
Xie Xihe ignored her little thoughts. After leaving the subway station, he looked around and found the direction of Xiguang Group: "Let's go."
Just as he took a step, a rumbling sound suddenly rang out.
The next moment, the originally bright sky suddenly darkened, and thick dark clouds gathered and rolled, covering the sky in the blink of an eye.
The rain came down in torrents.
"Didn't the weather forecast say it would be sunny all week? Why did it suddenly rain?"
"When has the weather forecast ever been accurate? Damn it! It's okay if it's a little off at other times, but they're still predicting sunny weather when it's raining heavily. Isn't that too much?"
"What's going on? Why is it raining so hard all of a sudden? It looks like the sky is falling!"
As he was speaking, another extremely loud muffled thunder sounded, followed by lightning as dense as a spider web. Some of the timid ones screamed and subconsciously stepped back.
Xie Xihe and her group were also forced to retreat back to the subway station. Just six or seven steps from the subway entrance to the platform, their clothes were already mostly wet, and even the ends of their hair were dripping with water.
Wu Wei's face looked grim. She twisted the hem of her long skirt that was soaked by the rain and cursed a few times.
Even Yu Jianing couldn't help muttering a few words. When she turned around, she saw Xie Xihe looking up at the sky, her red lips pressed into a straight line. She couldn't help but look over, but saw nothing but heavy rain and lightning. She asked in confusion, "Xihe, what are you looking at?"
Xie Xihe came back to his senses and casually replied, "Nothing, I just feel like it's been a long time since I've encountered such heavy rain."
Yu Jianing nodded in agreement: "That's right, it's not just that I haven't seen him for a long time, I've never seen him before."
He muttered to himself, "The way it's raining, if it lasts longer, it might catch up to that torrential downpour my mother always talks about when I was still in her belly."
The rain when she was still in her mother's belly?
A flash of inspiration passed through Xie Xihe's mind, causing her pupils to shrink sharply.
Yes, the last time she encountered such extreme weather was nineteen years ago, the day she died in her previous life.
This time...
Xie Xihe's fingertips tightened, and a strong sense of uneasiness suddenly surged in his heart.
At the same time.
With a loud "bang", the man's tall and thin figure flew backwards and finally stopped after knocking down several stone pillars.
But before he could catch his breath, a shadow fell on his head, followed by an overly white hand, which slowly fell on his neck.
Hypnos looked up and looked into a pair of eyes so dark that no light could be seen. There was a faint aura in them that was both familiar and unfamiliar to him.
Even though he had guessed some of it a long time ago, Hypnos was still slightly frightened when he saw it with his own eyes.
His expression was still as empty and calm as ever. He propped himself up with his elbows and sat up, looking up and saying, "Aren't you going to do it?"
There was undisguised murderous intent in Emperor Hao's eyes, but his hand on Hypnos' neck never tightened.
He closed his eyes for a long time, and when he opened them again, he had regained his usual gentle demeanor. He threw his hands behind his back and gave a cold order, "The ancient god Hypnos has destroyed the gate and disregarded the rules of the ancient god realm. From today on, he will be confined to the Night Temple. He will be punished when the Lord God returns!"
"Where are the Ancient God Guards?"
There was a uniform sound of weapons, and a group of ancient god guards wearing black dragon armor appeared out of thin air in the rear.
Emperor Hao: "Send Master Ye Shen back to the palace!"
Hypnos had already stood up. He looked at the man in front of him, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face. Even the hexagram between his eyebrows brightened a little. He asked him: "Hao, is it worth it?
Emperor Hao suddenly clenched his hands behind his back into fists and looked straight at him: "I only know that she belongs to the Ancient God Realm, and she must come back!"
Hypnos chuckled: "A bet?"
Emperor Hao frowned: "What do you want to bet on?"
"Let's bet on whether you can beat her."
"How do you bet?"
"There's still six months until March 21st. During this time, no matter what happens, no one in the Ancient God Realm must interfere with Earth's affairs. Six months from now..." Hypnos stared directly into his eyes and spoke slowly, "I'll bring her to you."
Emperor Hao's pupils trembled: "You really know her whereabouts!"
Hypnos didn't answer: "Bet?"
Dark currents surged in Emperor Hao's eyes. After a long moment, he slowly uttered the words, "Bet."
After she finished speaking, she didn't want to say another word to him and turned around and left.

The rainstorm came quickly and went away even faster. In just over ten minutes, the rain slowed down, the thick black clouds dispersed, and the light poured down again.
Xie Xihe felt relieved. He glanced at the sky where the drizzle was still falling, took out his cell phone and made a call.
Before the call was connected, a familiar figure appeared in sight. It was Lu Tingqian's chief secretary.
Secretary Yang also happened to see Xie Xihe in the crowd. A look of joy appeared on her face. She immediately quickened her pace to greet her and said with a sigh of relief, "Ms. Xie, I finally found you."
He quickly distributed the spare umbrellas to Xie Xihe and Zhong Yuxiu, Yu Jianing, and others beside her, explaining, "Boss Lu saw that the rain outside was too heavy, and he was worried that you would be trapped here, so he asked me to come and pick you up. Look..."
Xie Xihe had already hung up the phone and nodded, "Let's go."
Secretary Yang breathed a sigh of relief and immediately led the way towards the car.
