Chapter 103 Why is he so uneasy in the rainy season?
What is it like to watch two senior schoolmates crying together in front of you?
Li Ming could only say that he felt somewhat bewildered and at a loss. But when Li Ming saw his sister sitting there calmly, he felt that he did not need to worry too much.
at last--
The fragrant steamed fish with garlic went into the stomachs of the brother and sister, but not into the stomachs of the senior sisters.
"It's delicious. I even want to have another one." Li Ming concluded after the battle.
Things went much more smoothly than he expected.
After the two seniors calmed down, they exchanged information outside Shencheng in the afternoon. However, since Li Ming and the other two had not walked to the capital, it was unknown whether the information they provided could be used.
"So our country was fighting against disasters before the catastrophe?" Xu Wanyi, with red eyes, wiped her nose with a napkin and murmured in shock: "Did this thing exist so long ago?"
Li Ming responded calmly: "I was also surprised when I found out."
"Maybe I can add it in..." Liu Mei lowered her head and thought, "It would be even better if we could meet on the road, but this kind of thing can't be forced."
Eh, you figured it out so quickly?
Upon hearing this, Li Ming glanced at Liu Mei in surprise.
Liu Mei's decision was more direct and decisive than Xu Wanyi's. While Xu Wanyi was still surprised, she had already decided to join the Special Operations Department. But Li Ming thought about it and felt it was normal...
Liu Mei has always been responsible. Coupled with the relatively serious negative impact of Xu Wanyi's talent, Liu Mei may be more uneasy than she looks.
The unknown is always frightening.
"Then we can go to Qingcheng."
Without thinking too much, Li Ming said, "The people from the Special Operations Department I met said that they would launch a crusade against the disaster area in Qingcheng after the 25th of this month."
"Going to Qingcheng is much closer than going to the capital, but it is more dangerous."
If Li Ming guessed correctly, Jiang Huai was already on his way to Qingcheng. Jiang Huai couldn't find him in Lingcheng, but he had no way to keep looking.
Time is too tight.
Li Ming and Li Yixi were able to return to their hometown in Shencheng so quickly because of the train of the 'Blood Moon's Nest', but Jiang Huai did not have this option.
When Li Ming thought of this, he even felt a little guilty.
"Meimei..." Xu Wanyi looked at Liu Mei hesitantly.
"Then let's go to Qingcheng." Liu Mei said to Xu Wanyi without much hesitation, "It's a good opportunity for me to get to know my future colleagues. If everything goes well, it can provide some guarantees for our subsequent life in the capital."
"But it's so dangerous..." Xu Wanyi muttered softly.
Liu Mei did not deny this. She sighed and said, "Wanyi, living in a world like this will always be harder than before. But fortunately, my talent is more of a support, so it shouldn't be very dangerous..."
Xu Wanyi pouted awkwardly.
It was obvious that she was hesitating in her heart, but due to the presence of the other two people, she couldn't say it to his face.
"The situation in Shencheng is not good." Li Yixi suddenly said coldly: "My brother and I will leave immediately after we return home. There is an S-level disaster area here. Sooner or later, the whole city will fall."
"The danger of an S-level domain master is not as simple as you think."
Li Yixi's last sentence did not mention anyone by name, but it was better than mentioning anyone by name.
“But isn’t it okay now…” Xu Wanyi muttered softly.
"Don't bet on this possibility." Even Li Ming couldn't bear to listen anymore. He said sternly, "Do you think those disasters in the school are good if they give you food?"
"Okay, okay. I get it."
Xu Wanyi quickly smiled to hide her embarrassment. It seemed like she had already offended both the brother and sister.
Seeing this, Liu Mei held her forehead helplessly.
"I'm sorry, it may be because we are both a little inexperienced." Liu Mei apologized, "After living in the capital for a while, maybe things will get better."
Her tone at this time was a bit like that of an older sister taking care of her ignorant younger sister.
"And, that is..."
Li Ming suddenly became absent-minded. He turned to look at Liu Mei and said hesitantly, "Liu Mei, if you have decided to go to Qingcheng, can you do me a small favor?"
"Um?"
"Please tell Jiang Huai that I'm safe and have reunited with my sister."
"Jiang Huai?"
After hearing this, Liu Mei was surprised and asked, "Is it your roommate?"
"Yes, that's the boy who was hit against the wall."
Li Ming briefly described Jiang Huai's appearance, personality, and talent. After receiving Liu Mei's clear answer, he finally breathed a sigh of relief and said:
"Thank you so much for your help."
"It's not a bother. This is what I should do." Liu Mei waved her hand with a smile, "I should be the one thanking you. If you don't mind, I'll treat you to steamed fish next time we meet."
"You guys are going to the capital too, right?"
"We should go..." Li Yixi hesitated in a rare tone. She looked at her brother, and saw Li Ming lost in thought with a tangled look on his face.
After thinking for a long time, Li Ming replied: "I think so."
There was no place in the country safer than the capital, unless he was prepared to join Wei Zhehan. But considering that Wei Zhehan was labeled as "the first to die sooner or later" by the comic forum, his surroundings could not be said to be safe.
Li Ming can go and try, but he cannot drag Li Yixi along with him.
So Li Ming said affirmatively this time:
"If all goes well, we'll meet in the capital."
"Okay." Liu Mei smiled after hearing this.
The conversation between the two sides finally ended. Although Li Ming didn't think their conversation took a long time, when he looked out the window, he was caught off guard and found that it was already dark.
"Then stay one more night."
Seeing this, Liu Mei clapped her hands decisively and said, "It's just right for the four of us to celebrate today, and it also allows me to clear out the vegetables and fruits that can't be taken away, so I don't have to feel too bad."
"That's embarrassing..." Just as Li Ming was still trying to refuse, he suddenly saw Li Yixi turning around and picking up the small tomatoes hanging on the balcony.
Li Ming smiled: "..."
It seems that Li Yixi also thought that yesterday’s tomatoes were delicious.
So Li Ming quickly changed his words: "Then I'd rather obey your command."
This night was truly the most peaceful night that Li Ming had ever spent since the disaster. He watched as Li Yixi and Xu Wanyi, who had previously been at odds with each other, suddenly started chatting about skin care products.
The three girls discussed topics such as daily necessities and makeup in a harmonious manner.
Li Ming, who was sitting on the sofa, was a little surprised, but more of a guilty conscience. Although he was Li Yixi's brother, due to his gender, Li Ming sometimes found it difficult to understand Li Yixi's thoughts.
It was fine when they were young, but later on they actually communicated less.
Maybe Li Yixi needs a sister...
In a state of half-sleep and half-wakefulness, Li Ming thought vaguely: How strange, he always felt that something was wrong...
*
Li Ming woke up.
He looked at the blanket that had fallen to the ground due to his rolling over, and inexplicably felt a sense of weirdness.
Was it because the plot content of the past few days was not enough to support him being pulled into the pure white space? Li Ming rubbed his eyebrows and thought for no reason: Forget it, it will be convenient for him to rest anyway.
Li Ming bent down to pick up the blanket, folded it and put it back on the sofa.
When he occasionally glanced at the sky outside the window, Li Ming suddenly noticed something unusual. The sky was dark and overcast, as if he had returned to the city of Shanghai when he and Jiang Huai left overnight.
At that time, Shencheng was shrouded in fog due to the birth of many new disaster areas.
They didn't even dare to drive too fast because the constantly emerging fog made visibility around the vehicle very low. Shanghai was like a foggy city at that time.
“No way…”
Li Ming thought of something and quickly ran to the balcony. He held the railing nervously with both hands and looked around at the situation on the ground. But the result was as bad as he expected.
A thin mist suddenly appeared on the originally empty ground.
They are like gray ribbons, wandering in the streets like ghosts, but no one can ignore their disastrous nature.
"Some severe disaster is coming."
Li Ming heard a heavy female voice coming from him suddenly. He turned his head and saw the worry on his sister's face. Li Yixi sighed:
"It looks like the Siren."
Why did the Siren appear now? Li Ming's heart sank after hearing this: If he remembered correctly, the little witch said that S-level disasters would be restricted by the abyss in the early stages of the catastrophe and could not descend into reality in their original sequence.
What made the Siren want to come here so urgently?
The image of Whale Yoyo suddenly flashed through Li Ming's mind. The young giant whale that Li Ming encountered when he left had not appeared for a long time, or in other words, it had not appeared in the current Shencheng at all.
"Is she here to look for her brother?" Li Ming murmured with sudden enlightenment, "Is it because her brother is missing that she is so eager to come to Shencheng?"
Li Ming couldn't think of any other explanation.
Because any other explanation is too flimsy.
The comic forum has been speculating that the Siren will appear, but readers' speculation is based on reasons such as "The World of Mist is a comic" and "If you want the main storyline of the comic to be interesting, there must be conflicts and twists."
But reality is not a cartoon.
There must be a legitimate reason for the coming of the Sirens.
"Li Yixi..." Li Ming called his sister subconsciously.
But when Li Yixi looked at him in confusion, Li Ming suddenly became speechless. He didn't know what to say, should he tell his sister that he might have fallen to his death, or something else?
Finally, Li Ming smiled bitterly and said, "It's okay, I'm just a little uneasy."
Li Yixi was surprised after hearing this: her brother would never worry about something for no reason. There must be something that she overlooked, but her brother noticed...
Just as Li Yixi was about to ask, Liu Mei walked towards them with a heavy look on her face and said:
“The rainy season is coming.”
"But it's a little strange..." Liu Mei added quickly, "This time they came earlier than last time, and most importantly: fog appeared on the ground. I guess something is coming from the abyss..."
"We already know about this." Li Ming said seriously.
After hearing this, Liu Mei said in annoyance: "If I had known this would happen, I would have left yesterday."
"No one could have predicted this at the time." Li Yixi gently comforted her, "It's okay, sister. It's not too late to leave now."
"elder brother--"
Li Yixi turned around, looked at her brother seriously and said, "Let's go too. We'll be home in two hours."
Li Ming fell silent after hearing this.
He couldn't tell Li Yixi about his death in the fall, but he couldn't suddenly give up on going home, because it was just to go home that they had traveled all the way from Lingcheng to Shencheng.
Maybe it wasn't a fall?
Li Ming secretly comforted himself: The purpose of the Sirens is just to find his brother. They don't necessarily have to confront the Sirens head-on. They can just stay at home and wait until the next dry season...
Their home was just a low-rise residential building, not a high-rise building. So... so -
Why was he so uneasy?
But in the end, Li Ming still said softly: "Okay."
