Hidden Corners

New Century Building, Hongjin Company.

hiss.

The elevator slowly separated.

A slender woman wearing a black fox mask, a black leather suit, and a silver suitcase in her hand stepped out of the elevator slowly.

"It's here, Hongjin Biopharmaceutical." The woman looked up at the talking and laughing staff in the hall.

"Excuse me, does anyone here know where this person is?"

She raised her hand a little forward.

The projection button on the chest was suddenly in mid-air, projecting a full-body image of Li Chengyi wearing a wisteria scale dress.

"Ma'am, is this an exoskeleton or a full body? We are a biopharmaceutical company here, not a consulting or detective agency. If you want to find someone, you should go to those places." A male employee explained kindly.

"Someone told me with certainty that you have this person's private information and latest whereabouts." The woman's voice was soft, "So...if you tell me no."

laugh!

In an instant, the suitcase in her hand deformed and melted, turning into a crescent scimitar.

The scimitar burst out instantly, piercing through the thick wall behind the male staff.

There is only a black gap in the wall, no debris.

The crescent scimitar was like cutting through tofu with one knife, it easily penetrated the wall, circled back from the corridor on the other side, and floated in the air on the right side of the woman.

The male staff was stunned for a moment, standing where he was, the coffee in his hand began to tremble violently, and a lot of it spilled on the carpet.

"I, I." His face turned pale, his legs were weak, and he could no longer move.

"Talk nonsense to them, and kill them all if you don't talk."

A tall, thin man wearing a black fox mask came out from behind the elevator.

Unlike the woman, he does not have a suitcase, but holds two submachine guns in each hand.

At this moment, seeing the gun in the man's hand, everyone in the hall reacted.

Swish! !

In an instant, everyone opened the drawer together and reached out to take it out.

Dozens of muzzles of different sizes and calibers were all aimed at the two men in the black fox mask.

click.

One of the burly female employees carried an individual laser cannon on her shoulder. The cannon muzzle was the size of a human head, and a faint red light was already glowing in the black hole.

"."

"."

The two black foxes froze.

If it's just an ordinary firearm, they can rely on the exoskeleton to block it, don't be afraid.

But now, the laser cannons are here.

The speed of this thing is extremely fast, it is almost a shot, and the power is so powerful that the danger is greatly increased.

This company... Are you sure it's a biopharmaceutical? Not making arms? ? !

This firepower is enough to go to some small countries to fight a local battle!

"What did you guys just say? Can you say it again, I didn't hear clearly."

Behind the strong female staff who resisted the cannon, pencil eyebrows folded her hands and stared at the two with cold eyes.

"Hehehe interesting." The black fox woman laughed. "You think you can stop it with just a few battles."

She couldn't utter the next words.

A sharp sense of terror and threat swept over like a tide the moment she continued to take the second step forward.

"Someone has locked us!" The voice of the black fox man behind him sank.

"It's a long way! Not nearby, do you want to continue?"

"." The woman fell silent.

When she raised her head, a blue light flashed in her eyes under the mask, as if her vision penetrated the wall, passed through the roof, and looked at a place far away.

It was the top of a silver building at least ten kilometers away under the night sky.

There, there are streaks of reddish light, which gather together like swimming fish, forming a straight and sharp red spike covered with fine circuit patterns.

The tip of the spike was facing the two people in the black fox mask.

"You two, although I can't stop you from doing it!" Ding Ning's voice sounded from a speaker somewhere in the company lobby. "But I can solve you after you do it."

The two black foxes were silent.

scream street.

Li Chengyi narrowed his eyes and stared at the old man in front of him.

For a moment, I was a little uncertain about the background of the other party.

Looking for his trumpet?

The strength of his trumpet can be said to have been revealed a lot before. Those who can find out the line of Hongjin Company should not miss the actual combat information of his previous actions.

But knowing the trumpet's strength, he dared to come to him in a fair and honest manner.

This means that the other party is very confident in himself.

"Don't worry, think about it slowly." The old man smiled gently, "The child had some misunderstandings with us, but it's just a misunderstanding, let's explain it clearly, and we'll be fine if we solve it."

"Mr. Bai." Li Chengyi considered the title, and said in a deep voice, "Do you have a photo of the person you are looking for? Or a name or something?"

"Not really." The old man shook his head, "However, he likes to wear purple exoskeleton armor, and occasionally wears golden full-body armor with a rapier. We don't know what his name is, but someone took it for him for simplicity. A nickname, called the Thug."

"Thug? Why did you take this nickname?" Li Chengyi asked.

"Because, every time he appears, he will definitely kill people and draw up a lot of blood." The old man sighed, "Perhaps the blind spot made him tense, and he was on the verge of collapse at any time, that's why he shot so violently. But people live this life , shouldn’t be manipulated by instinct like this.”

Li Chengyi's heart trembled, and when he heard the other party blatantly mention the blind spot, he vaguely guessed what the other party was coming from.

"Why do you judge him to be manipulated by instinct? As far as I know about him, he is very sober and has always been." He replied in a low voice.

The old man glanced at him and smiled.

"We have studied the dead angle for hundreds of years."

Just in time his juice came.

Pineapple Watermelon White Pear Juice.

The pale yellow pineapple sinks at the bottom of the glass, and in the middle of the pale pear juice, there are a few slices of green mint suspended, and the top is covered with milkshake, watermelon, and a dotted black cherry.

"Look." He pointed to the bottom of the juice glass.

Li Chengyi's gaze followed his fingertips and landed on the sinking pineapple flesh.

"What?" he asked.

The old man smiled.

"This is my favorite juice."

With his fingers, he wiped the condensation off the outside of the glass, exposing more of the pineapple inside.

"I don't like sour food the least. But I also like the smell of pineapple. What should I do?"

He paused, retracted his hand and smiled.

"So I asked the clerk, kid, to help me put it at the bottom."

"?" Li Chengyi didn't understand what he meant by saying this at this time. But it was obvious that the other party had more to say.

"But even if it sinks to the bottom, I still know that this glass of juice will definitely be sour in the end.

So, every time I drink juice, I feel worried, scared, even"

"Fear." The smile on the old man's face slowly faded.

"Do you understand that feeling?"

"No matter how sweet it is at the beginning, I will inevitably face the sourness that I hate in the end. The more I drink it, the more I think I will drink sour soon. But let me give up, and I am not willing to part with the aroma."

"The same is true of human instinct." The old man said calmly.

"That's what Dead End is. It's scary. No matter how much sweetness we get out of it, we actually understand that, in the end, it's sour."

"Your friend is being driven by fear, wantonly sprinting forward along a fixed path. This path has been traveled by many people, and it will only lead to a bad end."

Li Chengyi was silent for a while.

"Do you know much about dead ends?"

"Yes, I understand very well." The old man nodded, with a smile on his face again. "So, you and your friends are good boys. You all have your own talents and abilities, and you shouldn't be buried here."

"He should have killed many of your people, right? You don't hate him?" Li Chengyi asked again.

"This world is like this, the law of heaven is reincarnated, Taoism follows nature, and death is also a return to the natural universe. Everything is composed of particles, and death is just a reconstruction, a new journey, nothing more." The old man laughed.

"But he is living well by himself, why did he mix with you? Some of you managed to get out of the corner?" Li Chengyi asked.

"I don't know." The old man shook his head, "However, if there is anyone in this world who is most likely to get rid of the dead end, it must be from us."

"Don't worry, you can think about it carefully." He picked up the juice and took a sip.

"Don't be manipulated by fear. That's the residual instinct of our undeveloped animal brain. But now, it is no longer needed. Only by getting rid of fear can it be possible to find the true nature of dead ends."

Li Chengyi thought for a while.

"Don't talk about what you have and what you don't have, just talk about the benefits of joining you."

"." The smile on the old man's face paused, "the benefits. Of course, there are more complete information on dead ends, high-strength alloy technology, stronger transformation technology, and, greater ideals!"

"You shouldn't talk about the future for the benefit, man, you shouldn't be so vulgar." He frowned slightly and persuaded.

"But I'm just a vulgar person. I can't understand a lot of things you tell me. I only know what I have in my hand and what can I get?" Li Chengyi spread his hands. "By the way, what is your last name?"

"Miangui's surname is Bai, I have already said it just now. Bai Chong, you can call me that." The old man replied.

"Old Mr. Bai, you should also think about how many disadvantages you may bring by joining you. For example, you are wanted everywhere, and you have nowhere to hide. You can only keep running and avoiding. What should I say. Isn't this kind of life tiring?"

Li Chengyi's juice also arrived, Pipa apple juice, he picked it up and drank it to moisten his mouth.

"So, you should think about impressing my friend with something more practical."

"One hundred million." Bai Chong raised a finger, "Is it enough?"

"." How realistic!

Li Chengyi shook his hand and almost knocked over the juice.

"Laundered money? In what name is it distributed?" He immediately responded and asked quickly.

Bai Chong narrowed his eyes and said nothing.

He struck his cane, stood up, and seemed ready to leave.

Pushing away the chair, he picked up the juice again and drank until only the pineapple was left.

"One day, you will take the initiative to contact us." He stabilized his round cap and put down a note.

"When you want to connect, you can call this number."

A line of numbers was clearly written in black on the note.

Li Chengyi squinted his eyes, looked up again, but was surprised to find that Bai Chong had disappeared.

Such a large living person disappeared in the second he read the note.

‘Optical invisibility? ’ He quickly turned on the AR engineering mode to view infrared radiation.

But still nothing.

‘Is it even shielded from the heat? '

Sit in position.

He reached out, picked up the note, and wrote down the numbers.

beep.

Suddenly the phone rang, and he took it out to see that it was Pencil Mei's phone.

Immediately press connect.

"What's wrong?"

"People from Ideal Land came to the company and were almost attacked. Fortunately, we were well prepared. Mr. Ding Ning was monitoring remotely at any time to force the enemy back. How is your side? We just monitored that your signal was blocked again." Pencil Eyebrow slightly worried.
