After the Skyfall

Chapter 780 Familiar People
At this moment, we are in a high-end residential area in a prosperous urban area of ​​Dazhuang City.

Zheng Yaoyao, who had just hung up the phone, was very excited at the moment. She thought that Li Yi would never come back after he disappeared that time, but she didn't expect that after several years, she would still receive a call from Li Yi.

She then secretly thanked her luck that she had not changed her number, otherwise she would definitely not have received this call.

"Li Yi should be coming to Dazhuang City soon, I have to get ready." Zheng Yaoyao immediately began to pack and dress up, wanting to meet this friend from another world in the best possible condition.

However, just as she was choosing clothes in the closet.

suddenly.

A muffled thunder suddenly sounded in the calm sky, followed by a familiar voice coming from the living room.

"Is this your new home? It looks nice. You must have made a lot of money over the years."

Hearing the voice, Zheng Yaoyao, who was choosing clothes in the bedroom, was startled. Then she realized what was going on and ran out hurriedly. She looked at Li Yi sitting on the sofa and her eyes widened immediately.

She couldn't believe that Li Yi, who was talking to her on the phone just now, appeared in the living room of her home just a few seconds later.

She didn't hear any knocking on the door or breaking the window, and she didn't even know how Li Yi got in.

"You, how come you got here so quickly?" Zheng Yaoyao said in shock.

Fortunately, when she met Li Yi before, she knew that Li Yi had extraordinary powers, so she was more or less prepared. If it were someone else, they would probably faint from fright.

"My cultivation is much higher than before, so I can travel faster. There's no need to make a fuss. After all, after so many years, everyone will have some changes." Li Yi said calmly.

Zheng Yaoyao patted her chest at this moment, calmed herself down, and then looked at Li Yi.

His appearance remained the same as before, unchanged, still young and handsome, but his height had changed, now taller and stronger than before, with many lightning-like lines on his body, like tattoos, adding a bit of wildness.

"You haven't aged at all." Zheng Yaoyao discovered the blind spot and said with surprise and envy.

Time has indeed left no trace on Li Yi, but it has turned Zheng Yaoyao, who was once in her prime, into a mature woman.

"People who practice cultivation don't age easily." Li Yi said, "You are still staying in Dazhuang City. Didn't I suggest you go back to your hometown and hide? Aren't you afraid of encountering ghosts?"

Zheng Yaoyao said: "I went back to my hometown to hide, but after two years I didn't hear about any ghost stories in Dazhuang City. It took another two years before I dared to return to Dazhuang City to work. After I was sure there was no danger, I bought a house in this city and settled down."

"You mean that over the years, supernatural events have become less and less common?" From the experience of Zheng Yaoyao, an ordinary person, it was not difficult for Li Yi to judge some changes in the situation.
"That should be the case. Anyway, I have never heard of any haunted places or deaths in the years I have lived in Dazhuang City." Zheng Yaoyao thought for a moment and said, "Because nothing happened, I can live and work in peace."

Li Yi pondered for a moment, "It seems that in the few years since I left, the world has undergone some changes that I am not aware of. However, this should be a good thing, otherwise ordinary people like you would not be able to live so comfortably."

The most direct way to determine whether a world is experiencing a disaster is to observe the lives of the residents of a city.

If ordinary people can live a good life, it means the world is peaceful and comfortable.

On the contrary, if World No. 36 really is a place where supernatural events occur frequently and evil spirits are rampant, then the residents of the city must be living a hard life and it would be impossible for it to be so stable.

"I have always asked about ghost stories, but I don't have much ability and can't get much information, so I don't think I can help much with this." Zheng Yaoyao said a little embarrassedly.

Li Yi said: "It's okay, I just came here to see an acquaintance, and it's enough to see that you are still alive and well."

He didn't expect to get any information from Zheng Yaoyao.

"By the way, after all these years, you still haven't started a family? I can only sense your presence here. It looks like you live alone. This is not good. You are not young anymore. You should start a family sooner. After all, youth is very short."

Zheng Yaoyao pouted and said, "Why are people from another world also urging me to get married? My mother said she wanted to introduce me to someone a few days ago, but I refused. Forget it, let's not talk about this. It's rare for us to meet Li Yi. Let's go, I'll treat you to a meal. Wait for me, I'll change my clothes and leave."

She then extended an enthusiastic invitation.

Li Yi did not refuse. He had just come from another background and was not in very good condition. He also needed to rest for a few days.

Zheng Yaoyao was so excited that she immediately put on makeup, changed into sexy clothes, and then went out with Li Yi.

Although many years have passed, after seeing Li Yi again, she still has full trust in him in her heart.

After a while.

The two walked out of the community and onto the busy streets.

"Hey, Li Yi, what have you been doing these years? Can you tell me about it?" Zheng Yaoyao asked Li Yi curiously about his experiences during these years as they walked. "Fighting, practicing, fighting, practicing, nothing special." Li Yi said, "Your world has returned to peace, but mine has not. It is still in chaos, with demons and monsters everywhere. It is difficult to survive without strong strength."

"Ah, so scary?" Zheng Yaoyao was very surprised: "Then why do you want to go back? Why don't you just stay here? I have a lot of rooms at home. How about you live here from now on? And I don't charge you rent."

She then became somewhat expectant.

It would be great if Li Yi could be kept in this world.

Li Yi said: "It's hard to leave your hometown. Not everyone will abandon their hometown and go far away. I am trying to save my hometown."

"Then you really have a hard time." Zheng Yaoyao sighed. She could imagine that Li Yi had been running around, fighting enemies, and practicing hard for the sake of his hometown. Moreover, many years had passed in a flash, and he still hadn't fulfilled his wish.

"My hard work is nothing." Li Yi said, "But this world is really good without the supernatural. I rarely see such a stable world."

His words revealed his love for the current state of the world.

But Li Yi also understood that the ghosts in this world were still there, but like an iceberg, they were hidden deep inside and had not surfaced.

"If you like it here, you can come here often or stay longer. I have nothing to do, so I can accompany you to travel around and see the sights." Zheng Yaoyao said with a smile.

"It would be nice if I could have so much free time." Li Yi shook his head slightly.

Seeing this, Zheng Yaoyao had to change the subject and talk about something else.

However, just as the two of them passed a traffic light at an intersection, Li Yi suddenly stopped.

"What's wrong?" Seeing Li Yi not moving, Zheng Yaoyao asked curiously.

But soon, she found that Li Yi was looking at the other side of the zebra crossing with a serious look.

The light is red at this moment.

At the traffic light across the street, a woman was standing there. She had a graceful figure and was wearing a red cheongsam and a pair of red high heels.

It looks like there is a different kind of weird beauty.

"Who is that person?" This question immediately popped up in Zheng Yaoyao's mind, but soon, a certain feeling told her that the woman was very unusual.

Incompatible with normal people.

Could it be that a bad guess emerged in my mind?

At this moment, the woman in the red cheongsam was smiling faintly and looking over here. No, to be more precise, she was looking at Li Yi.

"It looks like I can't have dinner. I have something to do and have to leave first." Li Yi said.

"It doesn't matter. You can eat anytime. Li Yi, your business is more important." Zheng Yaoyao nodded seriously, and then whispered, "Be careful and stay safe."

"Okay." Li Yi replied.

The red light ended and the green light came on. People on both sides of the road gathered and Li Yi walked in.

Zheng Yaoyao did not follow, because this kind of thing was not something an ordinary person like her could get involved in, so she wisely stayed where she was.

The woman in the red cheongsam opposite did not take any action and still stood there with a smile on her face.

However, as people came and went, the cheongsam woman across the street disappeared during a brief period of obstruction of vision, and Li Yi, who had blended into the crowd, also disappeared.

Two people just suddenly disappeared in broad daylight, and no one noticed it except Zheng Yaoyao. Seeing this, Zheng Yaoyao looked up at the sky.

Although the sun was shining brightly, she didn't know why she felt inexplicably cold.

She could understand why Li Yi disappeared. After all, people from another world possessed extraordinary powers. However, the woman in the cheongsam was not from another world.

"Is it a supernatural event?" Zheng Yaoyao shuddered inexplicably.

I haven't encountered such a thing for so many years. I thought that supernatural events had completely disappeared from my life. I didn't expect that the real supernatural things were around me, but it was difficult for ordinary people to detect them.
