Hidden Corner

Chapter 49 049 Fog Street 1 (Thank you Moci for sitting all night with a candle as leader)

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 bang.

Li Chengyi kicked open the KTV door and shouted at Sindra who was smoking outside.

“Boss, I brought her here for you. Can you see if it’s her?”

 He grabbed Zhong Ying's hair and dragged her all the way to Xindra and Song Ran.

The two of them looked stunned and were chatting. Suddenly they saw this scene and were stunned.

Not only them, but also the passers-by around them could not help but stop and watch the fun. Some people took out their mobile phones and planned to shoot short videos to watch the show.

“I’ll just say it, hahaha!” Sima Gui walked out of the KTV gate at the back and laughed when he saw this scene.

“People are already dying, why do you want to do so much? Just do it quickly and directly! Don’t waste everyone’s time!”

He walked up to Zhong Ying and gave her a slap in the face.

“Damn it, I went in and searched everywhere, but when I asked, I found out that this company is a regular company, and no one blackmailed her with the contract. She just did it on her own.”

Zhong Ying was about to cry but had no tears. Half of her face was swollen but she didn't dare to say a word.

 This is because she is greedy. Unexpectedly, the new boss's subordinates were so direct and exaggerated, and beat her when they met.

“Get in the car first.” Syndra looked at these two guys and suddenly felt a headache.

Li Chengyi, who originally thought he was very well-behaved and honest, seemed to be led astray by Sima Gui.

Seeing that people around him began to gather to watch the fun, he quickly opened the door and let a few people get in.

 In the KTV, staff were already calling the police.

As Sima Gui said, they are a regular company with no black background at all. The previous statement that they would not be allowed to leave due to breach of contract was all fake news created by Zhong Ying herself.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 bang.

 The car door slammed shut.

Li Chengyi sat in his seat in a calm mood, side by side with Sima Gui, and the two looked at each other and smiled.

Zhong Yingze and Sindra were sitting together in the last row. When she saw the two people in front of them, she couldn't help but feel nervous.

“If the electromagnetic interference is turned on, don’t worry, the surrounding video will automatically blur the screen. But it won’t be good after a long time.” Song Ran said.

 “Where are we going now?” Li Chengyi asked.

“Miss Zhong Ying, tell me, where was the first time you encountered a blind spot in a foggy street?” Sindra comforted Zhong Ying for a while, which stabilized her mood a lot.

"It's a sake bar called Candy." She trembled when she saw the look in Li Chengyi's eyes.

"Don't mess around! I'm not lying! Absolutely! I promise!" she explained hurriedly.

 “If you lie to me, I’ll beat you up.” Li Chengyi said bluntly.

 “Me too.” Sima Gui followed.

 “You guys, please stop.” Syndra said with a headache.

 “Let’s go, let’s calm down, calm down.” Song Ran was fighting at the side.

Li Chengyi smiled and said nothing.

 After returning here from Sima, he understood a truth. They are all caught up in a blind corner, and they might break out at some point. In this case, it is better to let go and live a more comfortable life.

As long as you don’t expose the flower of evil and cause too much trouble, for the rest, you can do whatever you want.

 The car started and started to navigate towards the candy bar.

 The bar is not far away, about three or four kilometers away.

Soon after arriving, Song Ran found a place to park, and several people in the car discussed it.

"Divide the work. It's best to separate memory flashes for easy activation. Sima, Xiaoyi, you two are in a separate team and separately investigate the environment near the bar. The three of us will drive around and look around to see if there are any other blind spots."

Syndra said in a deep voice.

“Since there is a blind spot like Fog Street here, Zhong Ying is probably not the only one who has a blind spot.” He was very concerned about the rewards that the slot machine could spin.

“Okay boss.” Sima Gui nodded, “But I’m a little curious. What was the reward Zhong Ying got from playing the slot machine earlier? Can you take it out and see?”

　　唰.

 Several people in the car were all interested in this, and they all looked at Zhong Ying in the last row.

Zhong Ying shrank, and a look of hesitation appeared on her face, which was half swollen like a steamed bun.

“Just a dagger and a bottle of pills with unknown uses.”

She didn't dare to talk nonsense and slowly took out a silver-gray dagger from the small bag.

 The entire dagger is different from the traditional dagger.

The handle of the knife is drop-shaped, with golden vine patterns. The blade is narrow and rhombus-shaped, with a very pointed top. It is more like an enlarged flat awl than a dagger.

"I called it a drop of water. I didn't find anything except that it was very sharp." Zhong Ying whispered.

 “Can I have a look?” Syndra asked.

“Of course.” Zhong Ying handed him the dagger.

 The latter took it, turned it over and observed it carefully.

“It weighs less than 200 grams. It’s very light, like it’s hollow. It feels cold in your hand.”

 He passed the dagger to Song Ran, Sima Gui, and Li Chengyi. They took turns to look at it and found nothing special.

But the strange thing is that no function has been found, but everyone feels in their hearts that there is something special about this dagger, but they have not discovered it.

"This feeling is very strange." Li Chengyi said, "I feel that it is very unusual, but I just don't know what is unusual about it."

"Me too."

"me too."

Song Ran and Sindra both nodded.

 “Where’s the medicine?” Sindra looked at Zhong Ying. The latter immediately took out a half-finger-long transparent plastic bottle from the small bag. The bottle contained at least ten or twenty oval, flattened red pills.

"I've tried this. I tried it on the hamster I raised. It will be very exciting after eating it." Zhong Ying whispered.

 “Stimulants?” Sima Gui’s eyes lit up.

"Take it back and try it out. Is it okay if I buy it?" Syndra looked at Zhong Ying.

"Yes, yes, yes, but let me make it clear first, this thing should only last four days, and it will disappear automatically after four days. This is the message that popped up in my mind after I got it." Zhong Ying said vocal channel. "Besides, it won't be effective if anyone else uses it except me."

"Is the restriction so strict?" Syndra frowned. He originally wanted to use it to study it, but he didn't expect it to be blocked.

 He suddenly understood why the officials didn't bother to pay attention to the blind spot. It is completely pointless to invest too much in something with too little value and benefit.

 He returned the dagger and pills to Zhong Ying, and then made an appointment with Sima Gui and Li Chengyi to contact him and set a time to meet.

Li Chengyi and two others got off the car together.

"Zhong Ying said that she encountered the foggy street the moment she left the bar, that is, the moment she opened the door. So should we go to the bar first, or..." Sima Gui asked.

“Let me take a walk around the area.” Li Chengyi experienced the flash of memory last time in the Grius parking lot, and knew that as long as the thing was close, it might appear.

"OK."

Sima Gui chose to go in alone.

He pushed the door open and entered the bar in a few steps, leaving Li Chengyi standing at the door.

Li Chengyi looked around, put his hands in his pockets, and walked along the left side of the bar.

The entrance of the Candy Bar has a bright red wall and a round arch made of red balloons. Several girls in red tops and black shorts are holding balloons by the door to attract customers.

 The girls seemed very unprofessional. Although they were dressed sexy, they were all chatting to themselves.

Li Chengyi stood at the door and did not go in, nor did he attract their attention.

Following the gate to the left, there is a video game arcade next to it. The sound of various music is densely packed inside, which makes people's ears a little noisy and uncomfortable.

Li Chengyi looked sideways into the video game arcade. There was no one inside, and the machines were consuming electricity in vain. The screens flickered, and animated advertisements and game screens were played repeatedly.

"How did the memory flash come in?" He frowned slightly, retracted his gaze, and continued to move to the left.

‘By the way, Zhong Ying relies on pushing the door to switch, so maybe she can try pushing in and out later. ’

With this thought in mind, Li Chengyi moved forward and walked to another store next to the video game arcade.

The rolling shutter door of this shop is closed, and there are also rental advertisements and contact information posted on the side wall.

Li Chengyi walked to the entrance of the shop and continued to look forward.

 Ahead is a gray wall with no facade. There is no bus stop until more than 100 meters away.

Looking from a distance, there are no people on the platform.

　　‘Let’s go and have a look on the other side. I haven’t looked to the right of the candy bar yet. ’

Li Chengyi thought so and turned around to return.

Um?

He turned around and looked back, but what he saw was not the street he had just walked through.

 It is a strange street hidden in the gray fog.

 Old shops are located one next to another, all closed, and advertisements for leasing and transfer are posted on the walls.

 There are some plastic bags, advertising paper, rags, cans and other garbage scattered on the ground.

There are old cement cylindrical street lamps, like old people with stooped bodies, standing at intervals, and there is no light. It seems to have been broken for a long time.

The slightly cold wind blew in his face, making Li Chengyi tremble all over.

　　‘This is Fog Street? ’ He felt awe-struck, knowing that he had found it.

 He ​​clearly remembered that he passed by a video game arcade, but the location of the arcade was now replaced by a closed wonton shop.

  Lifting his feet, he moved forward step by step, walking slowly.

At the same time, his eyes are constantly scanning the surroundings on both sides.

One of the special advertisements suddenly caught his attention.

 That was an advertising leaflet posted on a telephone pole.

 ‘Resistance. Unite and build our big home together! Contact number: 1338’

Many places in the advertising flyer are blurred, but the impassionedness can still be seen in the handwriting.

 Resist against what?

Li Chengyi didn't know, the key words were blurred and couldn't be distinguished.

 He tried to take pictures with glasses, but the AR glasses were completely unresponsive.

With no choice, he continued to move forward, walking towards the depths of the gray fog.

 Faintly, there was a strange sound of electronic music floating in the distance in front of me.

 ‘Woooooooo~~~tick-tock-tick-tick~~’

The weird music sound is like some kind of weird laughter, sharp, harsh, and full of cheap electric noise.

Li Chengyi moved forward and quickened his pace in the direction of the sound.

 Soon I saw a red and colorful cartoon slot machine standing in front of a shop on the street.

This slot machine has green mountains, jumping rabbits, sheep, and sika deer painted on the outside.

 The interface that the player is facing has two rows of yellow buttons below, each button representing a type of fruit.

At the top is a rotating fruit box with flashing lights. When the light turns, whichever fruit stops in front of it will be the winning fruit.

The most speechless thing is that there is a big red word "福" printed in the center of the box on the game interface.
