Hidden Corners

"Not a staff member? Don't be kidding, help me find the exit, and I will give you two thousand!" The woman added the price.

"How did you come in?" Li Chengyi didn't respond to the other party's request, but asked the other party instead.

"I don't know." The woman's brows were full of irritability, "I just finished shopping and took the elevator to the garage to drive home, but when I came out, I found that the garage was not a shopping mall garage."

"Where's the elevator? Is your elevator still there?" Li Chengyi's eyes lit up, and he asked quickly. If you can follow the way the woman came in and go back in the opposite direction, maybe you can.

"I don't know!" The woman tightened her coat tightly, her expression a little terrified. "I can't see it when I look back. I'm taking a work elevator with a big door. Logically speaking, it shouldn't be so conspicuous and easy to find."

"Don't you have a sign?" Li Chengyi saw this, and he was able to roughly distinguish the other party's situation.

"What omen? You mean the dream you had before?" the woman asked slightly puzzled.

"Dream" Li Chengyi was speechless. The other party obviously didn't pay attention to the previous omen at all and thought it was a dream.

After thinking about it, he still slowly said some of the things he knew about the blind spot.

As he continued to explain, the expression on the woman's face became more and more impatient.

Until Li Chengyi said that a two-meter-tall monster with a human face appeared, she finally couldn't bear it anymore.

"Sorry, I mean it, has anyone ever told you that your story is interesting, but it's not the right time to tell it."

"I know the rumors about the dead end, but those are all false legends. In my opinion, the so-called dead end is more like a secret survival experiment game. Well, now is not the time to talk about it."

She stretched out her palm and spread her five fingers.

"Five thousand, how about taking me out?"

"." Li Chengyi didn't speak any more, he thought for a while, and made a gesture of letting go.

There is nothing to talk to this person. Before he saw it with his own eyes, he probably wouldn't believe that the dead end really existed.

"Ten thousand!" The woman spoke again seriously. "Don't be too greedy, this place is just a bit bigger, if you let me find it myself, you won't be able to earn all this money!"

"You can try." Li Chengyi glanced at the small door of the maintenance room where the monster just came out.

"In addition, the monster came out of these small doors. I would like to give you a piece of advice. Don't touch these small doors of the maintenance room. If you see the doors open, run away."

He knew very well that he couldn't waste any more time. He didn't know when the flower language ability would fail. Once it failed, it would be very difficult to stabilize the situation as imagined just now.

Immediately, without saying a word, he carried his things and walked towards the direction where the woman appeared.

Since the woman said that she came down from the top, then go up and see!

"Hello!" The woman in black didn't expect him to run away, and chased after him for two steps, but the overly heavy platform shoes hindered her running, and after just a few strokes, she could only see Li Chengyi disappearing around the corner.

"Are you crazy? Running so fast!?" She stood still, holding onto a column, panting.

Looking around, there was no one around again, it seemed quiet and dead.

The woman stood by the stone pillar alone, her heart began to beat again.

But before she waited long, Li Chengyi's figure returned again at the corner not far away.

He went up to another floor just now to check the situation above, but he didn't find the elevator that the woman mentioned, but found that there was a curve to a higher floor.

He didn't dare to continue, the ghost knows how many floors this place has.

So I returned quickly, at least there is a living person here, and the cluster can also have a calming effect.

Seeing the woman leaning against the column from a distance, cursing, not knowing what she was talking about, he speeded up and approached.

"Let's go together, let's find a way out together." Li Chengyi said without talking nonsense.

"You really don't know the exit?" the woman asked in surprise. Only now did she notice the appearance of the man in front of her.

With black hair and black eyes, there are two bloodstains faintly flowing out of the corners of the eyes, which looks a little scary.

The figure is a bit thin, but it gives people a very stable feeling. He is carrying a bag of things in his hand. Through the translucent bag, he can tell that there are food and water in it.

This man seems to have been prepared!

A trace of speculation flashed in the woman's eyes. But immediately, this slight guess was replaced by a slight panic.

Because she saw the knife held upside down in the opponent's hand!

At night, in the empty underground parking lot, a young man with bloodshot eyes, a calm face, a bag in one hand, and a knife in the other, stood in front of him, looking at him.

Almost all the elements of horror thrillers are gathered!

The woman took a few steps back, her expression becoming more and more nervous.

"Let's cooperate, find the exit as soon as possible, and then leave." Li Chengyi was still talking at this time, not noticing the intimidation his image gave the other party.

"Stand still! Assuming...assuming that what you said is true, then how do you prove yourself??" At this time, the warning line in the woman's heart reached the limit.

prove?

Li Chengyi saw the other party backing away, then looked down at himself, and immediately realized that the woman had misunderstood.

He thought for a while, reached out and took out his mobile phone, turned it on, and checked the time.

"It's 9:12, and I was dragged into this ghost place about half an hour ago. I was walking in a small park at the time. I bought a lot of snacks and prepared to go back and stock up.

You don't have to be afraid, my eyes were caused by an injury after encountering a monster just now, it's just a traumatic injury, it shouldn't be a big problem."

In the end, he himself was a little uncertain.

"Really?" A smile appeared on the woman's face, but she was still backing away. After a distance of more than ten meters, she stopped and stared at Li Chengyi vigilantly.

"Listen, there are two people here, we can take turns to rest in case monsters appear around us." Li Chengyi said in a deep voice.

He really hoped to convince this woman that it was too tiring for him to stare at her surroundings alone.

He was a little unable to hold on now, his eyes felt dry, and waves of tiredness and sleepiness surged up.

If anyone can help keep an eye on your surroundings, give yourself ten minutes, no, five minutes!

Even just a five-minute break can allow you to recover a lot!

And what puzzled him was, didn't this woman encounter any abnormality when the omen came in? But the second time he came in, he encountered a monster with a human face.

At this time, seeing the other party deliberately pulling such a long distance away from him, he knew that this person still didn't believe him.

"The shopping bag in your hand is from the Kanemina shopping mall in the urban area, right? I remember that it is the most upscale shopping mall in Suiyang City. I used to play in the nearby Lanyunsi Park when I was young. On the top of the highest rockery in the park, you can also see the Colonel Cornman model in Kane Mina.”

When he talked about the memory of his predecessor, his expression was as gentle as possible.

Colonel Corn Man is a childhood cartoon that they all watched when they were young. The naive corn man in it represents the fond memories of many people when they were young.

Sure enough, after hearing his detailed description, the expression on the woman's face gradually softened.

Apparently the fear of him had loosened a bit.

"Are you a native too? What's your name? You don't need to tell me your real name, it's just a convenient address." She thought about it and asked aloud.

"Cheng Yi, you can call me Cheng Yi." Li Chengyi replied, "What about you?"

"Meng Dongdong." The woman replied. "Well, I'm sure you won't lie to me for no reason, but can you put down the knife in your hand first?"

"." Li Chengyi noticed that he was still holding a fruit knife in his hand.

He was so nervous that he didn't pay attention to these details at all.

Putting down the knife, he took a long breath, then took out a wet wipe from his pocket, and carefully wiped the blood on his face.

After wiping it off quickly, he raised his head again and looked much more normal.

"it's good now?"

"En." Meng Dongdong nodded, and his face softened a little. "Check the situation first, you said you have been here for more than half an hour, and you haven't found the exit, right?"

"yes."

"What floor did you come up from?" she asked again.

"The bottom floor. It looks like two or three floors down from here, but I'm not sure if there will be any changes." Li Chengyi replied.

"Okay, let's not talk about monsters or not, just look at the exit." Meng Dongdong took a deep breath and gestured to Li Chengyi to listen to her first.

"Usually the entrance to the underground garage is on the top floor, so you are also going up.

But what I want to tell you is that you can't find the exit if you go up. " she said in a deep voice.

"Before I met you, I went up five floors in one breath, and they were all in the same garage environment. That's why I chose to go down to see if I could find a new breakthrough point."

"Then why do you think I'm a staff member here?" Li Chengyi asked.

"I thought I was kidnapped." Meng Dongdong replied with a tired look.

"Kidnapping?"

"Well, some weirdos always like to arrest people for experiments for no reason, just like the movie Elevator Cry, isn't that the plot?" She replied. "Catch people together and observe and record what they do to survive."

Li Chengyi was speechless.

If he hadn't really encountered a monster, he might have had the same guess as the other party.

Seeing that Meng Dongdong's mood had stabilized at this time, he began to slowly chat about some of Suiyang's landscapes, public news and so on.

This kind of real daily information exchange has made Meng Dongdong's mood more stable, and he no longer has panic and fear of him.

But in fact, Li Chengyi seemed stable on the surface, and he still glanced at the small door of the maintenance room from time to time.

Behind that small door, there is an unknown monster stabilized by him with his flower language ability.

Once the ability fails, the monster may rush out of the door at any time and attack the living.

So at this time, he was only stable on the outside, but his heart was tense and he couldn't relax.

After chatting for a while, he felt that Meng Dongdong's mood had stabilized, but his mental state was getting worse and worse.

Finally, we also propose.

"Can you do me a favor? I'll find a place to rest, and you help me keep an eye on my surroundings to prevent possible monsters from approaching!"

"You really don't look well." Meng Dongdong frowned, and she could tell that this young man named Cheng Yi was very tired.

"How long do you want to rest?" She agreed in disguise, and would help take care of the surroundings.
