However, everything is the same as it was in the past, and no abnormalities can be detected at all. Tiandi recalled the moment she passed out, the red eyes she had seen, and how she had signed a patron saint agreement with the rain god because of this unknown disease. In order to ask the whole story of everything, before returning to Taipei, Tiandi found the grandma who abandoned her back then---Banai, she wanted her grandma as a priest to teach her how to summon gods...

In the dark space, Tiandi saw his feet step on the endless shallow water... Is this the world after death? A door appeared in front of Tiandi, and she cautiously walked towards that door, preparing to open that door.. On the other side of the city, the god of rain closed his eyes, trying to feel the past and future that will appear before his eyes like a reflection... However, no matter what he tries, he can only hear the endless noisy traffic, the loud construction noise of urban construction sites, and the ear-piercing whistle of MRT traffic. The God of Rain no longer sees the reflection of time and loses all the power he is familiar with. At this moment, he heard Tiandi's voice calling him. Afraid of what danger Tiandi would encounter, the God of Rain ran wildly, returning to Tiandi's side with all his heart.
