Hidden Corners

Boom.

Suddenly, there were a few subtle touches from the scaled clothes beside him.

Li Chengyi looked over and saw that Estherine was reaching out to pat him gently. She held the mobile phone that the two of them had just used to communicate in her hand.

After taking the phone, Li Chengyi continued the translation function.

"What was that just now?" he asked.

"I don't know." Estherine shook her head, her little face was also pale with fright at this time.

"But I've seen it with my own eyes, he went through two people and they both disappeared."

"Is there anything that can stop him?" Li Chengyi asked.

That thing was different from the ones he had encountered before, it had no entity at all, and it wasn't afraid of the brilliant force field.

He had been fighting with the Radiant Force Field just now, but he also lost two golden swords in this way.

Up to now, the golden sword of Gladiolus Hualinyi in the imprint has not been regenerated, and it is obviously completely damaged.

"As long as you hide under the bed, you'll be fine. But now the bed is broken by you." Estherine replied cautiously.

Li Chengyi thought for a while, walked over, grabbed the broken bed board a few times, put it back in its original place, and then assembled it a little bit.

Soon, a somewhat collapsed wooden bed appeared in front of the two of them again.

"It's just that there is a broken support column in the middle, but it can still be used after all." He explained.

Seeing that the bed was probably repaired, Estherine breathed a sigh of relief, quickly bent down, crawled in from the side of the bed, and then went back under the bed to hide.

"This is the safest place, as long as you don't come out, nothing can hurt you." Her voice came out.

Li Chengyi looked at the translator on the phone and frowned.

He squatted down and looked across from under the bed.

Sure enough, another room with lights on appeared over there.

The room with the same floor as my own bedroom.

"Then you plan to hide under the bed like this all the time?" Li Chengyi threw away the broken golden sword, let it scatter into light spots and dissipate, a new golden sword slipped out of his hand to replace the previous one.

His hand made the little girl's eyes glaze over, and he didn't notice it before, but now that he looked closely, he was immediately stunned.

"Under the bed, it's very safe. There are many, many, many black hands of that kind. Before they couldn't be blocked, there were people like you who used other things to block them, but more than a dozen appeared in one breath. I was too scared before. I didn't dare to go, so I kept hiding under the bed.

Anyway, after waiting three times, you can go back to your room, and then everything is safe. "Isseline recovered and answered with a little stammer.

"After three times?" Li Chengyi heard a new point and immediately asked. "What's the meaning?"

"Exactly." Before the little girl finished speaking, her voice began to blur.

It seemed to be blocked by a thick layer of curtains, and it seemed that the voice was getting farther and farther away and weaker.

Before Li Chengyi could react, everything in front of him was twisted into countless lines.

All the lines start to spin and blur, faster and faster.

"Can you hear me? What do you mean three times!?"

He tried hard to speak, but the voice he spoke seemed to be elongated by something, low and distorted, sometimes light and sometimes heavy.

puff!

When he blinked, his head went cold, and all the visions in front of him disappeared instantly.

I was still standing in the bedroom, and the wisteria scale clothes on my body quickly dissipated, turning into light spots and petals.

'Just a little bit.'

Li Chengyi took a deep breath, this was the second time he entered the omen, and the third time, he would not come out so easily.

Most likely will remain stuck inside until a way out is found.

The little girl has already lived four times, and if she can survive four times, she must have her own way.

But this kind of thing depends on luck, and he may not be able to meet him next time he goes in.

'Pity'

‘If I can learn more information from Estherine, it may be more helpful to find the prototype.’

‘However, this time I went in and gained a lot. I remember the child’s appearance. In addition, the characteristics that must not be touched. It will be safe to hide under the bed all the time. These details may be added to the elements of finding the prototype. '

Looking at the blue-black night sky outside the window, a plane with red dots slowly passed by and flew into the distance.

Li Chengyi let out a long sigh of relief.

Go to the window and push it away.

The fresh air continuously poured into the room, replacing the somewhat dull depression.

After taking off the scale clothes on his body, he wiped his forehead, which was covered in cold sweat.

That shadow child is like an untouchable hedgehog, if touched by him accidentally, his body may disappear.

This has nothing to do with the thickness of the defense, but can't be touched at all.

'No matter what, let's go to the botanical garden to repair the scale clothes first! '

That is to say, he opened the Forever Botanical Garden by himself, otherwise no one would maintain some flowers that are not in that season to bloom against the season.

Just like wisteria, it only blooms from April to May, and now it's October. It stands to reason that there will be no flowers blooming long ago.

However, Li Chengyi insisted on using technologies such as greenhouses and medicines to replace the wisteria flowers in one of the greenhouses to maintain their flowering period, open and wither continuously.

The same goes for gladiolus.

After changing his clothes, Li Chengyi took all the prepared things and turned to open the door.

click.

A pale black-haired child outside the door was looking up at him and smiling at him.

Suddenly, the child raised his hands and rushed towards him.

Li Chengyi's muscles that had been relaxed just now tensed up all over his body.

Before he had time to think, he dodged sideways, and he dodged to the left with all his strength.

Boom! !

The other hit the wall on the left.

But luckily escaped.

Just a little bit.

He saw with his own eyes just now that the child's hand was only as close as a knuckle to his abdomen.

Get out of the way, Li Chengyi jumped up from the ground, and went to look at the child again.

People are gone.

Only the wooden chair that was thrown by the other party was rapidly blurring, fading, and disappearing.

In just three seconds, a brown wooden chair disappeared in front of Li Chengyi without a sound.

'grass! '

Li Chengyi's heart was beating wildly, he got up quickly, and quickly jumped out of the window.

After rolling a few times on the field outside with a puff, he relieved himself and stood up.

At this time, the night was hazy and the full moon hung high.

The surrounding area is empty, only the fence of the prison dragon's house can be seen in the distance.

There are no sight-blocking objects around.

In this case, any attack is clear at a glance and can be detected in advance.

Li Chengyi looked around nervously, and after making sure that the child hadn't appeared again, he slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

"What happened!?"

Prison Dragon hurried out of the door with his coat on and approached him.

Li Chengyi took a breath and wanted to say something, but he still didn't tell the truth.

"It's okay. I just encountered something."

Seeing his reaction, Prison Dragon instantly understood.

"Injured?" he asked solemnly.

"No. Master Long, go and rest. It's fine here. I can handle it." Li Chengyi replied.

He checked his belongings.

"I'm going out for a while, and I'll be back in a while."

"Go, if you need help, tell me!" Prison Dragon said seriously.

"Thanks!"

Li Chengyi took one last look at the bedroom on the second floor where he lived, then turned and strode away.

To go out, take a taxi on the side of the road outside the villa area.

A few minutes later.

The roar approached quickly.

A familiar suv reappeared in the field of vision.

Sigh.

The wheels braked suddenly, and the driver's window was rolled down, revealing Song Ran's serious square face.

"Get in the car, I'll take you where you are going!"

"Brother Song?" Li Chengyi said unexpectedly.

"I can't help you with anything else, but I can still do my best for such a small matter." Song Ran replied in a deep voice.

Without a word, Li Chengyi opened the car door and sat in the back row.

From Qinggang to Suiyang, if you take a taxi, it will be much slower.

But flying cars are different.

After getting in the car, Li Chengyi quickly sent the details he had just obtained to Pencil Eyebrow and Skittle Candy.

Especially the child's face made a deep impression on him.

After giving the information, he breathed a sigh of relief and recalled what happened just now.

'Just now, I'm sure I've left the blind spot. Why is that kid still chasing me? '

It stands to reason that after leaving the blind spot, the things inside should not be able to be chased.

Suddenly, Li Chengyi's thoughts stopped.

'wrong!'

He suddenly thought of the slot machine, that weird little fat man!

'At that time, that little fat man can also leave the blind spot and chase us all the way! '

'Trouble! '

You can't touch it, it may pop up at any time, now it's the second omen, if you can't find a way to escape before the next dead end pulls him in...

He could be really dangerous.

beep beep.

The phone rang.

He quickly picked it up and connected it.

"Brother Cheng, according to the elements you gave, I found a total of three suspected prototypes!" Skittle Candy's voice was decisive and clear.

"Which three?"

"I'll pass it on to you!" Rainbow Candy snapped and hung up the phone.

Soon, paragraphs of text with images were quickly sent to his mobile phone at this time.

Li Chengyi clicked to check them one by one.

'Possible Prototype 1 - The Lost Son: According to the folklore of Baixing Storm Sea, there was a major murder more than 70 years ago. Mouth, kill them all.

The incident caused a huge sensation in the local area. After the murder, the young boy took the last selfie photo of himself, then walked into the sea of ​​fire alone, and was burned to coke with his family. '

A slightly blurred selfie is attached at the back.

Li Chengyi clicked to check.

It was a thin boy with obviously dark skin, his face was painted very white, and he was smiling brightly and happily at the camera of his mobile phone.

After seeing the child's appearance, he remembered it in his heart.

Then look to the second one.

‘Possible Prototype 2——In the depths of Diyuewei’anmara jungle, there is a small minority living: the Pingba ethnic group.

There is a custom among the Pingba people, in order to avoid the existence of evil in the darkness, pollute the mind of the child, and possess the body of the child.

They will smear the child's face with white flour every year until the child is ten years old.

Then wait until it is over ten years old before washing it off. There are only a little over 1,000 households of the Pingba people. It is not difficult to go to the field to investigate.

There I found a total of three photos left on the Internet. '

A photo is also attached at the back.

Li Chengyi clicked on the photo and glanced at it.

A neatly dressed black-haired little boy, accompanied by his parents, was smeared with white flour by an old man with oil paint patterns all over his face.

The little boy looks very happy.

He pulled down the picture, and two more pictures were edited and joined together.

The other two are a little boy and a little girl. All similar rituals.

But looking at the children's hands in the photo, their hands are all white and tender, and they don't match the characteristics of black hands at all.

Li Chengyi compared his mind and shook his head slightly.

Finally look to the third.

'Possible prototype 3 - the Earth-Moon-Sutan Federation, there was a legend circulating a hundred years ago, about the Lonely Doll. '

'According to experts' speculation, there was a horror story circulating among the Sutan people at that time.

There is a kind of existence called Lonely Doll, it likes to hide under the bed where people sleep most.

When a person falls asleep, it will secretly reach out, grab the person's hand, and pull it to the bottom of the bed.

Once he was pulled in and failed to react, that person would disappear quickly and disappear completely. '

‘According to speculation, the prototype of this lonely doll is likely to be a black beast that often attacks humans in the local area—the toothed monkey. But I don't think so. '

Skittles gives its own judgment.

Attached photos at the end.

Li Chengyi clicked to check.

It was a photo taken under the bed.

Under the brown wooden bed, a pale black-haired child was curled up.

It can't tell men and women, it just looks up at the camera with a weird smile.

The question now is, of these three, which one is the dead-end prototype?
