Chapter 387 That Person Is Waiting for You

November 24th was a cold rainy day.

The weather in the entire Shanghai area seemed to have become capricious since the sudden snowstorm.

There were only three days of sunny days in between the heavy rain.

Ji Li sat at the bottom of the building all night, and fell asleep in the morning light after drinking several bottles of wine.

Ji Li, who never dreamed, had a nightmare in a short time.

He did not see ghosts or people in his dream.

There was only an old and dilapidated building standing in the crowded and dirty street.

It was the only building on this street, very tall, with 18 floors.

Many tiles on the white wall had fallen off, revealing the gray wall skin.

It was covered with black cracks, winding and disordered, like thin black hands holding the building tightly.

In addition to black and white, there was only a red umbrella on the street, propped up on the edge of the rooftop.

Ji Li heard the sound of rain in his dream. The red umbrella was the only color in the picture, which made him remember it vividly and unforgettable for a long time.

Until the wind blew, the umbrella was blown down from the rooftop, fluttering left and right in the air and falling.

Ji Li felt a sense of weightlessness when he fell. When the umbrella fell on the street, he felt an inexplicable pity in his heart.

It seemed that in the heavy rain, what was lying on the deserted street was not a red umbrella, but a fresh girl with broken limbs and brain.

Watching quietly from a third-person perspective, Ji Li suddenly regarded the umbrella as a corpse.

The shattered head and the eyeball that was knocked out of the eye socket also stared at him quietly.

Neither of them spoke...

"No time!"

Ji Li's mind suddenly appeared a very miserable and sharp girl's scream, which completely woke him up from his coma.

He suddenly stood up from the back of the chair, and in front of him was the same drowsy world and drizzling rain as in the dream.

The female voice put her non-existent hand on Ji Li's forehead and said the same words:

"There is no time..."

Ji Li stood there blankly. He looked at the world in front of him and listened to the words of the female voice. He felt confused and couldn't distinguish between dreams and reality.

After a moment, he rarely showed a trace of panic. He eagerly grabbed the cigarette box from the table. The faint firelight illuminated his pale face, and the tobacco floated upwards.

"The store manager's task will start in three minutes. You will be taken away. I must wake you up."

The female voice was still very gentle, so gentle that it was inaudible, so unreal.

Ji Li's breathing was a little heavy, and the frequency of smoking involuntarily increased. He slowly turned his head to look at the female voice.

This dream must not be so simple.

Maybe this is a sign of the store manager's task.

The red umbrella, the high-rise building in the rainstorm, and the girl with the umbrella as the image.

Ji Li wiped the cold sweat from his face, and his vigilance was at its highest. He hadn't felt such a strong sense of oppression about a mission for a long time.

Just a seemingly true dream had caused his emotions to fluctuate, which meant that the difficulty of the store manager's mission would be unprecedented.

He looked down at his watch, and the precise hour, minute and second hand told him that it was only 4:37 in the morning.

This also explained why the outside world was so dim, and he would be pulled to the location of the store manager's mission at 4:40.

Ji Li calmed down his mood, counted down the time for a cigarette, and the pointer on his dial also reached 4:40.

His vision blurred for a moment, and Ji Li, sitting upright in the chair, heard a clearer sound of rain.

It fell on his long hair, windbreaker and boots bit by bit, and the wet touch indicated the change of space. He came completely into the rain from the seventh branch where he could take shelter from the rain.

The rainstorm did not change, and Xiaomiao Street welcomed a customer who was caught in the rain.

The long street in the rain looked psychedelic yet real, with countless crowded shops on both sides of the street, and the rain shields crackling.

The neon billboards shining in the rain and the long street with very narrow aisles symbolized that the population here was large and prosperous enough.

The not-so-good drainage system made the already narrow aisle dirty and messy, and the water flowed under his feet, but there was no place to drain.

Various plastic garbage bags and scattered garbage floated on the water flow, and a chocolate bag was stuck in the gap of the manhole cover and was constantly washed away but could not go down at all.

Ji Li raised his pale face slightly, the rain wet his face, and under the shining lights, he stepped on the water that had become a river.

The old-fashioned neon signs and traditional Chinese advertising slogans told Ji Li that this was not the world he was familiar with.

But it was a little familiar.

Because his vision reflected the only high-rise building on this street, the black and white building that was out of tune with the whole street.

In his unclear vision, he saw the tall building that appeared in his dream, being ravaged and crushed in the rainstorm.

Imagine whether there is also a red umbrella on the rooftop of this building about to fall, like the death of a young girl.

"Is this the place..."

Ji Li asked himself silently, and a female voice appeared beside him, blocking his vision with a black umbrella.

"Mr. Ji, where should we go?"

The female voice came a few steps later than him, but still came. Ji Li didn't want to pursue this reason now.

He looked back at the road behind him. The dream had already given him a hint of the store manager's mission.

This tall building in the rain was the place where his store manager's mission was to take place.

Ji Li turned around and walked back, holding an umbrella with the woman, towards the main entrance of the building.

They walked along this street for a full ten minutes before they saw the true face of the building.

Finally, they knew that the name of this street was "Temple Street". Ji Li guessed that this should be a place other than the mainland, and time and space seemed to have traveled through time and space.

From the layout of the streets and alleys, it was obviously not the style of 2015. It must be a mission form that returned to the past.

Ji Li frowned secretly. He was worried that this mission would be related to time and space again.

Because he had a little resistance to ghosts, but time and space had no countermeasures for him at all.

Getting closer and closer, Ji Li found that the location of the black and white building was quite unlucky.

Although it was on the edge of Temple Street, the three corners opposite were connected to three other streets.

Looking down from the building, you can feel countless cars passing through from all directions. This kind of feng shui is extremely ominous, called "a thousand arrows piercing the heart".

Ji Li walked slowly and came to the bottom of the building step by step in the wind and rain.

But there was a man standing here, with his back to him, standing in the rain and looking up at the building.

The man was about the same height as Ji Li, with a slender figure, his hands behind his back, and his slightly long hair combed behind his head.

It was just that his dressing style seemed to be out of tune with this world. He was wearing a black Zhongshan suit, but this suit could better modify his unique temperament on him.

Just a back view made Ji Li frown.

Because this man stood in the rain, but his clothes were as clean as before, as if all the raindrops were walking around him.
