Hidden Corners

"What is a believer?"

Li Chengyi felt that his three views had been impacted. How could these weird-looking beings still communicate?

Originally, he thought that the blind corner was full of dangers, but now it seems that there are many, many secrets hidden in it.

"They also believe in the giant beast Asraduni." Estherine replied, "There is no danger in hiding under this bed. The bed is a ship, and it is the only safe place in the Black Sea. But outside the bed, it is very dangerous." Yi Celine explained carefully.

".What about you?" Li Chengyi looked at her and couldn't help asking. "I went to your house, the one that was burned down."

"My home? What home? By the way, I have to go home. My parents and younger brother are waiting for me." Suddenly Estherine showed a sudden look, "It's okay, wait three times, and there will be three changes outside, and we can go out. As long as We have been hiding here quietly and don't go out."

Li Chengyi frowned slightly, feeling baffled. But judging by Estherine's expression, it didn't look like she was lying.

"You, do you still remember the fire? And your eyes"

"Big fire? What's wrong with my eyes?" Estherine reached out and touched the corner of her eyes, "What's wrong with my eyes?"

The corners of her eyes began to bleed faintly.

Under the light of the mobile phone at close range, the skin on her face also began to turn black, showing signs of burns.

"Why does it feel a little painful?" Estherine began to rub her eyes.

"Here they come! They're here!!" Li Chengyi's complexion changed slightly, feeling something was wrong, so he quickly changed the subject. "Look outside!"

Etherine paused, and quickly looked out of the bed.

In just a short moment, her burnt skin quickly returned to normal, and the blood from her eyes flowed back as if time had flown back, as if nothing had ever happened.

Li Chengyi glanced at this point out of the corner of his eye, and felt awe-inspiring.

If he had guessed that the Estherine in front of him might be another survivor with the same name.

So now, he no longer doubts.

This Estherine was the one who was stabbed blind in the fire and died of pain in the underground room.

"Iselin, are your parents okay? Are they going on a long trip?" Li Chengyi asked softly, thinking about it.

"That's right, they said they were going to see a doctor for my brother tomorrow, and I said I wanted to go too, but they refused to let me stay at home alone." Estherine nodded and answered while looking outside.

"Really? Tomorrow" Li Chengyi had a faint guess in his heart.

"Mom also said that the family didn't have much money, and it would cost a lot of money to see a doctor. But I feel that my brother is obviously healthy, and there is nothing wrong with him." Estherine whispered.

Based on the information he had read before, Li Chengyi speculated that her parents might be taking her younger brother to smuggle away from Mukesha Town and Su Tan.

They should have sensed the danger, so they arranged to leave in advance, and lied to Little Iselin that they were going to see a doctor and asked her to stay at home

In the information provided by Skittle Candy, it is mentioned that some of the smuggled Gilkinis mysteriously disappeared in the middle of the road, and no one found their traces. At least hundreds of people are missing.

And around that area, there were no other footprints at all, and no means of transportation approached.

Where those people went is also an unsolved mystery.

"The first change, we have to pass it. Be careful not to go out." Yi Selin suddenly said.

Her voice pulled Li Chengyi back from guessing.

He followed suit and looked out of the bed.

The wide hall outside was slowly getting dark, but within a few breaths, it was completely pitch black.

"Here, is the Black Sea, isn't it beautiful?" Iselin looked at the darkness outside, with happiness, warmth, anticipation, and other emotions in her eyes.

"I can't see anything." Li Chengyi replied.

He looked at Etherine.

"By the way. How do you know, can those believers trade? Or is it a fair trade?"

"That's it." Estherine smiled and turned her face away.

"Because I tried."

"Try?"

"Well, I used my piggy bank and traded a lot of things. I couldn't understand what they said, but many times, when I was hungry, I would see the opportunity to trade for food and drink."

"Eat and drink?" Li Chengyi was speechless, "Do you dare to eat?"

"Why don't you dare? It's not dangerous. Let me see if they eat it first. If they're fine, I'll eat it." Estherine replied.

Li Chengyi was speechless.

Now he suspects that Yiselin's strange state is probably caused by eating indiscriminately in a corner.

What else did he want to say.

But soon, the darkness outside slowly receded again.

Outside the bed, an old European-style room slowly appeared.

Gray-black floor tiles, pure white walls full of floral reliefs, and delicate symbols engraved on the white baseboards.

Li Chengyi looked out from this angle.

In the field of vision, most of them are white walls.

In the left corner is a half-open red wooden door.

The bottom of the door is also made of anti-collision black edging.

"Here?" Li Chengyi was about to speak, but Esseline covered his mouth and shook his head desperately, looking terrified.

"Danger!" She found these two words in the previous conversation on the phone screen, and kept typing.

Li Chengyi's heart was awe-inspiring, and he lay down quietly without making a sound.

despair.

despair.

Suddenly the wooden door opened wide.

A pair of black leather shoes and black trousers, which seemed to be the legs of a man, walked in slowly.

click.

The door was closed and locked.

"whee."

Suddenly, a strange laughter sounded in the room.

"Hee hee hee"

Laughter sounded again.

Li Chengyi didn't know why, but when he heard this voice, he felt goose bumps on his skin.

"Yi Yi Yi Yi Yi"

The voice changed again, and it became like a child babbling, making strange noises.

The voice was a bit harsh, like singing, but also like a simple strange cry.

Li Chengyi looked at Iselin. But found that her small face was pale and she closed her eyes and dared not move.

"Li Chengyi."

Suddenly, a straight and round voice sounded in Li Chengyi's ear.

He was numb all over, and suddenly turned his head to look out of the bed.

Those men's feet were already standing by the bed!

Tightly sticking to the edge of the bed, only a palm width away from his face!

"Li Chengyi."

"Li Chengyi."

"Li Chengyi."

The voice was like a repeater, constantly chanting and repeating.

The sound line has been weird from the beginning, and it has become more and more standard, more and more familiar, and more and more

Like his own voice!

Suddenly, Li Chengyi realized this.

Instinctively, he felt that if he allowed the other party to read like this, something extremely dangerous would inevitably happen.

The golden sword slowly floated in his hand, and the brilliant force field was ready to be released at any time.

"ah!!!!"

In an instant, an extremely sharp cry exploded around him.

It was Etherine who was also hiding under the bed.

Her face was icy cold at this time, and her eyes were slowly oozing blood, which began to turn black and sunken.

The facial skin also began to appear scorched and cracked.

The sharp and terrifying sound waves canceled out the repeated sound outside in the blink of an eye.

After a few seconds.

puff.

Both voices disappeared at the same time.

Li Chengyi was so shocked that his vision blurred and his head became dizzy.

After the sound disappeared completely, he slowly stabilized under the recovery of the brilliant force field.

It was dark outside the bed again.

They seem to have left the room just now.

Meanwhile, Estherine, who was shrunk at the side, suddenly tilted her head, fell into a coma, and lay motionless on the ground.

'Is she helping me? ’ Li Chengyi suddenly reacted.

'Why help me? ’ He couldn't understand. What is certain now is that Etherine must be very difficult. Whether she is dead or alive, no one knows.

But she possesses certain special abilities, which is certain.

Li Chengyi looked at the unconscious Iselin, recalling the little skeleton he saw before, his heart still moved inexplicably.

Before he had any other thoughts, soon, the darkness outside changed again.

The darkness faded.

A dark red wall with rough stone material appeared outside the bed.

This time it seems to be lucky.

No one was outside. There was no movement either.

Dark red walls, dark red slate floor, and scattered fine stones and slag on the ground.

Other than that, there is nothing else.

The temperature was also different from before, and it started to get a little hot.

Li Chengyi kept in mind the three principles that Esseline told him, as well as the speculation of lying under the bed and waiting for more than half an hour.

Now that he came back to his senses, the strange sound of chanting his name before was probably part of the danger in the dead corner of the clenched hands.

But Estherine helped him block it.

Lying under the bed, motionless.

From time to time, he looked at the stopwatch on his phone.

ten minutes.

twenty minutes.

thirty minutes

call.

In an instant, an inexplicable sense of dizziness came to my heart.

A large number of snowflakes appeared in front of Li Chengyi's eyes.

Poof, he blinked involuntarily, everything in front of him quickly began to change.

When he came back to his senses, he had already returned to his hotel room.

Holding the open door with his right hand, he stood at the door and was about to go out.

Hum, hum.

The phone is vibrating, it's a regular alarm clock.

Li Chengyi took a deep breath, looked around, and made sure that he was really out of the corner.

Only then did the body loosen suddenly.

'Out! '

His vision became clearer.

Recalling the scenes in the blind corner just now.

Etherine screamed to help him.

And in the town of Mukesa, the deep loneliness she conveyed by grabbing his shin.

'It seems that before leaving, I have to bring something more. '

Li Chengyi calmed down the beating of his heart, put on a white hat to cover his face, and walked out of the room quickly.

two days later.

Suiyang City·Forever Botanical Garden.

"So you brought her too!?!!"

Skittles looked at Li Chengyi dumbfounded.

The lollipop in her mouth propped up a big chunk of her cheeks, but at this moment, no matter how big the lollipop was, it couldn't fill the shit that kept popping up in her heart.

Not just her.

Big Bear, Longmen Hang, Big Black and Little Brown were all in the living room, looking at Li Chengyi in a daze.

"Brother Cheng, are you a little dazed? Let's not talk about how you brought this thing back, just say whether it is safe or not, and it hasn't been confirmed yet, so...you brought it back now?" Longmen Diao's face twisted. , pointing to the two skeletons neatly arranged on the ground.
