On the east coast of Xia City, there was a dangerous section of the Huanhai Highway. Beyond the guardrail of the highway was a cliff. Under the dark sky, the fine rain was like mist, erasing the boundary between the cliff and the sky.
This Huanhai Highway was the first first-class highway to be paved with magnetic pavement. In the beginning, it was used as a technical practice. Later, because of its status as a classic, it gradually became the preferred choice for street racers. Although the weather was bad, the thrill-seeking racers did not mind. Sports cars sped along the highway one after another. With the help of the maglev system, they easily reached speeds of over 300 km/h.
The headlights of the car were like a long sword that cut horizontally, cutting the curtain of night and the rain into pieces. They also made the cliff glisten and stand out from the hazy sea and sky.
Bai Xinyan stood at the top of the cliff, looking at the staircase road that extended into the distance. The cars racing on the road were like fireflies moving in the opposite direction, gradually becoming indistinguishable in the curtain of rain.
"Xia City is still the same. There's no difference between it and Luoyang City."
Faced with the harsh environment after the war, it was difficult to maintain the cultural characteristics of a large metropolitan area that was built in a hurry. A high degree of homogeneity was inevitable. It was precisely in such a boring jungle of steel that the seemingly turbulent but actually monotonous structure of human nature was created.
"Because of this, every Gifted Type is worthy of special treatment … from the perspective of species diversity."
Bai Xinyan had her hands in the pockets of her windbreaker. She faced the sea breeze and took a step forward. The fluttering raindrops condensed into fine ice crystals under her feet, carrying her body. Just like this, it condensed, shattered, and solidified, forming a faintly discernible ice crystal staircase. She crossed over the multi-layered road and arrived at the bottom of the cliff.
There was no trace of the void behind her.
Right now, Bai Xinyan was standing on a protruding platform about ten meters above sea level. It was big enough for two people to stand on. On the inside of the platform, there was a recess of more than three meters deep and nearly two meters high. Traces of artificial excavation could be seen.
Bai Xinyan didn't go in. She looked around and saw that there was an open waterproof metal box inside. Women's clothes were scattered messily on top of it, already soaked by the drizzle that blew in.
"How many years has it been since I've changed my casual lifestyle …"
Bai Xinyan looked away and stood on the platform, facing the sea. On one side of the sea, the rain fell like a curtain. It was a hazy scene.

The wind and rain blew against her windbreaker, making it flutter loudly, but it didn't make her feel the slightest bit wet.
Below her, among the jagged rocks, the tide was rising. Thick white foam floated on the blurry outline of the tide, swaying back and forth.
Bai Xinyan gazed at the surface of the sea. After a moment, the corners of her lips curled up. The rain that fell around her once again turned into fine ice crystals. They fell onto the rocks in the tide with a rustling sound.
In the time it took to take two or three breaths, the constantly swaying white foam of the tide had turned into all sorts of strange ice crystals, and the chill was still seeping into the seawater. Very soon, the reef and the half-frozen tide formed a twisted silhouette that looked like the face of a ferocious ghost.
"One," Bai thought. Bai.
He counted to three. Suddenly, amidst the sound of the wind and the waves, there was a clanging sound that spread far and wide. The "ghost face" on the surface of the sea suddenly tore open. Correspondingly, the reef cracked and the seawater split. A slender figure broke out of the water from the middle of the crack and screamed.
"Frozen, frozen to death, frozen to death!"
Zhang Yingying rushed out of the water. Her tight-fitting diving suit with red and black stripes showed off her good figure, but there was a layer of floating ice on her. Her loose hair was also covered with ice beads, messy and lacking in layers, which made her look a bit awkward.
Her bare feet stepped on the slippery rock wall, and with a leap, she flew onto the platform. The sharp aura around her body had yet to dissipate, and as she cut through the curtain of rain, there was a hissing sound.
On the platform, Bai Xinyan did not dodge. Instead, she smiled and opened her arms wide to embrace the figure that was charging at her. The camel-colored windbreaker was flipped up and covered both of them.
"Ahhhhh, White Salt, White Salt!" Zhang Yingying was so excited that she wanted to roll around in Bai Xinyan's arms and rub off the ice droplets.
Bai Xinyan, on the other hand, did not seem to care at all. She hugged the young girl in her arms tightly, and her chin rested on her hair that was covered in ice beads. She did not say anything, but she continued to smile.
The excitement of meeting an old friend finally died down a little. Zhang Yingying put some distance between them. When she saw Bai Xinyan's face, she couldn't help but take a few bites.
"Aha! You haven't changed at all! You've been in the lab all day, and you haven't melted! "
But when she truly came back to her senses, she lowered her head to look at the surface of the sea, where the chill had yet to subside. She swallowed back the words she was about to say, "Wow! How did you do it? This sort of freezing air has already far exceeded the scope of normal … … You're no longer just an Architect.

An Extraordinaire? "
"Not yet. It's just a little trick. It's not the same as your White Rainbow. But you, I haven't seen you for three years, and you've suddenly become very serious in your training. "
Zhang Yingying rolled her pretty eyes, "Yeah yeah. I'm making a fool of myself. I still want face."
"Do you?" Bai Xinyan used her cheek to lightly rub against the young girl's delicate and slightly cool cheek.
Zhang Yingying giggled. Then she asked Bai Xinyan about her plans, "This time, we're in Xia City. We're going to be at least a month. How are we going to arrange our schedule? How about you live with me? We'll go play to our heart's content every day! "
"I'm going to see the boss tomorrow morning. Then I'll deal with other matters … … I also have an appointment tonight, but it's just a formality."
Bai Xinyan's wristband vibrated as she spoke. She glanced at it and nodded slightly, "The Society has dug up quite a few new people in recent years. This' Scout 'is pretty good."
"Scout? Oh, right. That fellow is your patient! "Zhang Yingying's eyeballs swiveled. A few thoughts floated to the surface.
Bai Xinyan saw this and knew that this' Scout 'was already registered with Zhang Yingying. She took the opportunity to understand the situation, "The precision of this person's senses is very impressive. It's the precision direction, but it's closer to the microscopic. Why does he have the nickname 'Scout'? "
"This person, hmm. He really does have some talent." Zhang Yingying blinked. She was a bit baffled, "You guys haven't met yet, right? How can you tell?"
"I rely on my skills." Bai Xinyan shook her wrist, letting the data on her wristband be mapped out.
Zhang Yingying could only understand a part of it, but she grasped the key information, "Frost River Waterway … … That fellow's nerves are damaged, and he hasn't even awakened yet. Can he hold on? Tsk tsk. Is there a need to torment him like this? "
Bai Xinyan smiled, "When a patient receives treatment, he has to walk with two legs. One is confidence, and the other is obedience. Right now, I'm just strengthening the latter element. "
Zhang Yingying had a baffled expression, "That fellow can be a bit jumpy at times, but he hasn't started yet, right?"
"Yeah. He's not being disobedient. I just want to make him more obedient."
"... Oh, pervert!"
