When you want to escape a city, that city turns into a net, obscuring the sky, obscuring the earth, leaving you nowhere to escape, nowhere to hide!
The cover of night fell at an unknown time. In this city, there are always people weaving through the mediocre crowd, the neon colors, the rapidly changing lights, creating a dreamlike reflection that makes it hard for those immersed to discern dreams from reality.
Yu Xiaowan stood on the highest overpass of the city, looking down, but among the ceaseless stream of people, there was not a single familiar figure.
She picked up her phone again to call Ye Feifei, and as expected, the automated voice responded: "I'm sorry, the number you have dialed is currently unavailable, please try again later..."
All afternoon, she didn't know how many times she had called Ye Feifei, but it was always that message. There was nobody at the apartment, at the usual roadside stands and coffee shops, and not even in the park where they frolicked for free.
