Hidden Corner

Chapter 47047 Strange Three

Ding.

 The elevator doors slowly opened.

Syndra was talking to a tall, thin man with a shaved head. Both of them were standing at the entrance of the elevator, seemingly preparing to go out.

 Seeing Li Chengyi and the two of them, Sindra's face relaxed.

“Xiaoyi, you came just in time, hurry up, we will rush to Zhaoshan right away.”

“Zhaoshan?” Li Chengyi was confused. That place was at least more than three hundred kilometers away from Suiyang. What were you doing there?

“A little girl I recently signed got into a blind spot over there and needs our help,” Sindra said quickly. "Put on your glasses first, and I'll pass on the information to you."

Li Chengyi didn’t waste any time, turned around and made room for the two of them to come in, and then put on AR glasses.

 Soon, lines of data were transferred to his device.

‘Company mission: help Zhong Ying escape from the ‘foggy street dead end’. ’

‘Fog Street Dead End – a dark street shrouded in fog. The storefronts are all closed and no one is around. On the roadside at the end of the street, there is a powered slot machine. ’

 ‘Danger point: You must pull the slot machine every once in a while, otherwise you will encounter unknown dangers.

 After the slot machine is rolled, three patterns will appear.

 When the three patterns are of different types, the player will lose part of his body.

 If two similar patterns appear, you will get an unknown reward. So far, the dead man has obtained a dagger with special functions and a bottle of special medicine with unknown effects.

 Three similar patterns appear, and the result is unknown.

 Two or three identical patterns appear, and the result is unknown. ’

While reading the information, Li Chengyi, along with Sindela, Song Ran, and Sima Gui, had already boarded Sindela's special car, the urban off-road fog flag.

Song Ran drove, Xindra sat in the second row, and Li Chengyi and Sima Gui sat in the third row.

 The positions of six-seater cars are exactly distributed at 112.

 After the dull sound of the door closing, the car slowly accelerated and moved along with the dense traffic flow.

 In the afternoon and evening, the traffic flow after get off work is much more than usual, and the cars move slowly and leisurely, following each step.

Seeing that the speed was too slow, Li Chengyi in the car simply asked about the situation first.

“Boss, the key to this blind spot in the foggy street is this slot machine?”

"Probably, the little girl has already left twice. The danger is not as great as yours. She is the only one inside for the time being." Syndra replied.

"temporary?"

“Well, there was someone who suddenly disappeared while interacting with the slot machine. So now she is the only one here.”

“Then what can we do if we go there now?” Li Chengyi asked.

"I have initially found out where this foggy street is. I need people to go over and investigate the details." Syndra replied, "You guys are more familiar with blind corners and more adaptable to them. In addition, people with strong mental strength may be more vulnerable when approaching blind corners. There will be flashes of memory, and then details will be added, so don’t feel pressured to try this task, it doesn’t matter if you can’t find any clues.”

“What will happen if you never play slot machines?” Sima Gui, who had been silent all this time, suddenly asked.

"Zhong Ying didn't say, the little girl's name is Zhong Ying, but the time she stayed there was extended both times she went in, and the amplitude was very large. According to the inertia of the blind spot, I'm afraid she will be kept in there forever the third time. " Syndra sighed.

“How did she come out the first two times?” Sima Gui asked.

“Once the person she was with disappeared, and another time she played the slot machine and was lucky and got two things.” Syndra answered. "Of course, it could also be that the slot machine has a higher chance of winning."

 “Is there any blind spot profile?” Li Chengyi asked.

 “I’ll pass it on to you, so we can share it with a small group.” Syndra replied.

 Soon, he pulled all three of them into a small group of only two people.

There are three of them, plus the two people in the group, there are exactly five people.

There were two people in the original group, one was Syndra and the other was the new signee Zhong Ying.

“This is a profile scene picture.” Syndra quickly sent a photo-like picture.

It was a hazy gray mist.

In the fog, you can vaguely see a straight street, spreading from the feet to the front, and into the distance, the end of the fog can not be seen.

 The street floor is paved with old cement and has many cracks.

There are old-fashioned concrete pillar street lamps on both sides. Behind the street lamps are sidewalks and shops along the street.

The whole street was dimly lit, there was no one on the street, all the shops were closed, and there was a dead silence.

A few people looked carefully and discovered that at the end of the street, in front of a small children's products store, there was a shabby-looking slot machine.

The slot machine screen was powered on and flickered with a faint colored light in the gray fog.

That was the only touch of color in the entire gray neighborhood.

“That’s a slot machine?” Li Chengyi could feel something was wrong with the machine without anyone saying anything.

 Everything else is gray, except for the slot machine, which is in color. This is an abnormality within the normal.

"For specific circumstances, after you pass, investigate based on the memory flashes in the blind spots. Memory flashes generally depend on mental strength. The stronger the spirit, the more and clearer the flashes will be. It may even cause the blind spots to affect reality." Syndra reminded.

“So, the flash of memory is like an omen?” Li Chengyi suddenly reacted.

"They are very similar. But there are fundamental differences. The omen will definitely pull you into a blind spot, and you will be hurt in the omen. But memory flashes will not, it is just an image, a trace left over from the scene, belonging to the blind spot. Unless you You must be very energetic, otherwise you will not be injured. Sima Gui calmly explained.

“For those with strong spirits, is there any way to distinguish between the two?” Li Chengyi frowned. "No, it all depends on your own judgment." Sima Gui glanced at him, "According to my personal experience, the omen is that no matter where you go, it will pull you into a blind corner. Memory flash means that as long as you leave a fixed place, you will not You will encounter the flash effect of the designated blind spot again.”

Li Chengyi suddenly recalled two times when he was in college and when he was in a rice noodle shop.

Those two times, now it seems, are likely to be flashes of memory rather than omens.

 “I heard that you want to be an omnic?” Sima Gui suddenly changed the topic and looked at Li Chengyi and asked.

"Yes. What do you want to ask, Mr. Sima?" Li Chengyi didn't know why. He didn't know what this guy wanted to do when he suddenly mentioned this.

"You have so much money, why don't you use it to enjoy yourself? Just throw it into that bottomless pit." Sima Gui shook his head.

 “There is nothing wrong with strengthening yourself.” Li Chengyi replied.

"People like us can't live long anyway, so why not do more things that you want to do but didn't dare to do before. For example, do you have a girl you like? A sport you want to play? Or try a new type of hallucinogen?" Sima Gui disdain said.

"this"

"What is this? Anyway, we are all people who are about to die. We can do whatever we want. Death in a blind corner is death, and death outside is the same." Sima Gui didn't care, "I also know a few people who are dying in the end." When I went in, I bombed several shopping malls.”

“Why would you want to blow up a shopping mall if you have nothing to do?” Li Chengyi couldn’t understand.

"It seems annoying." Sima Gui smiled, "I live a day-to-day life, and I may die at any time, but I see so many people in the mall smiling so happily. It's normal to do something extraordinary."

 “That kind of people are in the minority after all.” Syndra interjected.

“Actually, I often think so.” Sima Gui smiled.

Syndra stopped talking. The dead man was wandering on the edge of life and death. He was too neurotic. He had seen many of them while tracing his son's whereabouts.

Even his son himself was of a similar type.

“Live one day at a time, and try your best to experience what you want to experience. There is nothing to worry about. Whoever makes me unhappy, I will make him unhappy.” Sima Gui said with a smile.

Li Chengyi was thoughtful when he heard the words.

Indeed, if you are going to die, who will care about the usual red tape, politeness, and rules, all of them will be thrown aside.

Just like when he was in the Grius parking lot before, when the people from Ashe Real Estate were looking for trouble, he did not hesitate and went to solve everyone at full speed.

His mentality at that time was just like what Sima Gui said, "I might die at any time anyway, so I don't want to think too much about anything. I'll do it first!" ’

 For a while, the car was silent, as if it was a little dull because of Sima Gui's words.

 The car finally left the city and headed towards the suburbs.

"So, Zhong Yingcai didn't want to find the official, but came to us." Syndra spoke slowly.

"Yes, for people like us, if the authorities catch one, they will lock it up first, so as not to have a mental illness and cause trouble." Sima Gui nodded.

“The more this happens, the more reluctant many people are to be discovered by the authorities.” Sindra said.

Li Chengyi looked silently at the scenery passing by outside the window.

 Suddenly I realized something.

These dead-end people, if they have no status, may really be poor people. They are terrorists with extremely high social instability.

Yongnian Town.

 Ashe Real Estate Headquarters.

 The scene has been investigated by the police, the body has been removed, and the blood stains have been cleaned up.

 At night, crickets chirped one after another, and the entire Ash Building was quiet.

 After so many people died one after another, this place has been regarded as an absolute murderous building by the people around it.

 As you get a little closer, you can seem to smell the faint blood emanating from it.

　　　Night time.

A tall woman wearing a gray windbreaker and a black scarf around her neck slowly walked to the iron gate outside the Ashe Building and looked inside.

 In the dark night, the only thing that can be used as a light source is the bright moonlight of the white stars.

 But the woman seemed to be able to see at night, her eyes sometimes moving and sometimes fixed.

The position where her eyes stopped every time was the place where Li Chengyi took action to kill Ai Xi's security guard.

 “Have you found any clues?” A question rang in the woman’s ear.

 The sound came from the tiny earplugs in her ear holes.

 “Find something. I’ll go in and have a look.” The woman replied in a low voice.

"I have found out here that the only one that has had conflicts with Aixi Real Estate recently is a newly established pharmaceutical company in Suiyang City." The male voice in the earphone continued.

 “What’s your name?”

"Hongjin, there should be something related. Go back and check." The male voice said.

"Well. I'll go in and observe first. This guy has good strength and speed. It seems to be an experimental transformation created by private capital or a small country."

The woman looked left and right, then rushed forward gently, grabbing the closed iron door lightly with her hand, and then crossed the two-meter-high iron door like an ape.

 Then she landed lightly, without stopping, following the route that Li Chengyi had taken, and rushed straight into the hall.
