Hidden Corners

"Ten minutes. I'll just close my eyes and rest for a while, and then we'll find the exit together!" Li Chengyi replied decisively.

He was very physically overdrawn at this time.

Wearing scale clothes seems to consume the body, which is a double consumption of physical strength and spirit.

Then all the way with tense spirit, looking for the exit, also exhausted a lot of energy. Hitting the door and wrestling with the monster, and finally using the flower language ability to completely resist the door, made him even more exhausted.

Now that I can hold on and not fall asleep, I already have good willpower

He estimated that in his current state, if the previous situation reappears, it is still unknown whether the flower language ability can be used.

"Okay!" Meng Dongdong nodded earnestly upon hearing this.

The exchange just now, as well as her status as a local and fellow villager, gave her a lot of peace of mind.

If she just helps to look around, wait for ten minutes, and doesn't need to do anything else, she is still willing.

"Find a place to rest. This place is too big. I'm afraid it won't be so easy to find the exit if I'm alone. When you're done resting, let's split up together." She said seriously.

"Okay!" Li Chengyi nodded seriously.

He carried the things, scanned the surroundings, and quickly found a corner, walked over, and then sat cross-legged on the ground, with his back against the wall.

"By the way, if you hear any noise in the door opposite, don't worry about him, don't open the door, don't open the door, wait until I have a rest, understand?" He finally urged. lest the opponent open the door for monsters affected by the flower language ability.

"Okay!" Meng Dongdong answered seriously.

After telling the main points, Li Chengyi put on the hood, took a long and deep breath, narrowed his eyes slightly, and began to rest without closing them completely.

This time, with more people watching, he was a little more relaxed than before when he was alone.

Squinting his eyes, he originally planned to pay attention to his surroundings.

After all, Meng Dongdong was just a stranger, and it was impossible to entrust all his safety to an outsider.

But he was so tired.

Before today, he was just an ordinary college graduate who often ran, and running was not long-distance running.

Calculated, that is, the endurance is stronger than others. The rest of the physical fitness is average.

After going through so many things, he was able to stabilize his mentality and not lose his composure. Even as a time traveler, he felt that he was already very strong.

Squinting and squinting, his vision gradually blurred.

Slap.

Suddenly, there was a slight sound in his ear.

There seemed to be the sound of a plastic bag falling and hitting the ground.

A cool breeze blew onto his face with the fragrance of flowers.

Floral?

Suddenly, Li Chengyi's spirit lifted, and he opened his eyes wide and looked forward.

Ahead was a small park shrouded in moonlight.

The dark red plastic runway, the branches and leaves swaying in the wind, and the dimly lit solar street lights.

Everything is clearly indicated.

He's out!

"Me!?" Li Chengyi stood where he was, not daring to move.

He worried that he was hallucinating.

Obviously he was still talking to Meng Dongdong just now, let him watch over him, squint his eyes and rest.

Why did you come out in the blink of an eye? ?

wrong! ?

He suddenly discovered that the plastic runway on the ground was very new, as if no one had ever used it.

The surrounding scenery in the distance is also blurred, and nothing can be seen clearly.

'Is it a dream? I am asleep? '

'no! Can't sleep, if you fall asleep, you will completely lose the ability to be alert to your surroundings, in case something happens'

Li Chengyi tried hard to control himself, trying to wake up from the dream.

But he had just fallen asleep, and he didn't wake up so quickly at all.

Just as he was trying to wake up, Meng Dongdong leaned against the pillar, watching Li Chengyi gradually narrow his eyes, sitting cross-legged on the ground with his back against the wall, breathing evenly and steadily.

She breathed a sigh of relief, looked around, and then focused on the small door of the maintenance room opposite.

Yes, she had noticed a long time ago that this man who called himself Cheng Yi was in a very unstable mental state, staring at the small door opposite him frequently from the corner of his eyes.

He thought he hadn't noticed, but she had seen it long ago, but she didn't say it clearly.

Standing by the stone pillar, Meng Dongdong gently put down the shopping bag in his hand and put on his coat.

She looked at Li Chengyi who was sitting next to him again. He was not awake, still squinting his eyes, sitting and resting.

The whites of his squinted eyes can be seen from the side.

Meng Dongdong exhaled, bent over, took off the platform shoes on his feet, and just stepped on the ground with his socks on.

Seeing that Li Chengyi was still silent.

She collected herself, accelerated suddenly, and rushed towards the small door of the maintenance room.

There is no exit up and down here, and that person is so concerned about this place, it is very likely that this is the entrance and exit of this ghost place! !

What monster? What danger? It's all just fabricated by that person to scare people.

Now is the age of science and technology, it is impossible for any monsters to exist. This kind of tricks to deceive a three-year-old child, if you want her to believe it, it is too small to underestimate her.

puff.

Meng Dongdong grabbed the handle of the small door of the maintenance room.

"Stop!!" Li Chengyi's voice came hastily.

He just woke up at this time, and when he woke up, he saw Meng Dongdong holding the doorknob with one hand, and he immediately yelled out in desperation.

"Don't open the door!!"

he shouted.

"You still want to lie to me!? Fuck you crazy!!" Meng Dongdong twisted the doorknob abruptly, pulled it out, and rushed in with a successful smile on his face.

It was only when she looked in that the smile on her face froze suddenly.

Inside the door, there was nothing but a bare little utility room.

Standing at the door, Meng Dongdong was stunned.

She didn't expect such a situation in the maintenance room that made Li Chengyi so nervous. This gap was completely beyond her expectations.

Behind her, Li Chengyi was also stunned.

He obviously used his flower language ability to stabilize the monster behind the door, but now, there is nothing behind the door.

"Is this the monster you mentioned?" Meng Dongdong turned his head and looked at Li Chengyi, his eyes full of doubts.

"." Li Chengyi was also stunned.

He could clearly feel that something was activated by his flower language ability just now, but now...

"It seems that you have rested. Should we find an exit?" Meng Dongdong turned his eyes and did not continue to talk about this topic.

Now she thinks more and more that this person is sick, and it is very likely to be a mental problem, such as hallucinations or something.

"." Li Chengyi stared at the small door of the open maintenance room in disbelief. It was empty and there was nothing there.

There are no monsters, no maintenance tools, just like a single room that has just been renovated.

‘Could it be that there is a time limit for the appearance of that monster? ’ A thought flashed through his mind.

He was sure that the monster existed, but what happened in front of him was hard to explain, obviously he had felt the door being hit before.

but now.

Boom.

At this time, Meng Dongdong closed the small door of the maintenance room. Seeing that Li Chengyi didn't respond, she had given up hope.

This is a normal-looking mental patient.

Li Chengyi saw what she was thinking, but he couldn't prove that what he said was true.

Unless he is willing to expose his flower language ability. But that is impossible.

At any time and in any environment, you must leave yourself a hole card that can turn the tables.

Now in a blind spot, without Hualinyi, his flower language ability is his only reliance.

Unexpectedly, even the mysterious and terrifying monster will be tricked. So he can't say.

"Let's go, we have to search hard to see how this place has left." Meng Dongdong looked around, his eyes flickering, obviously thinking.

Li Chengyi stood up, feeling dizzy, but better than before.

At least he rested for a short while, allowing him to recover a little bit of his overdrawn physical strength.

He still looked at the small door in disbelief.

The small door of the maintenance room was tightly closed, quiet and ordinary, without any unusual traces.

Looking at Meng Dongdong who was standing beside him, he picked up the bag again, walked forward to the door of the maintenance room, and carefully checked the traces on the door and the footprints on the ground.

Although the ground is concrete, the sneakers he wears will still leave slight friction marks when he exerts himself.

But no matter how he looked, there was no trace here.

This can't help but remind him of the situation where the traces disappeared before.

Li Chengyi stood up straight and looked at Meng Dongdong.

He suddenly figured it out, figured out the behavior of this woman just now.

'Just now I thought that I had stabilized her, that she believed what I said. Now it seems that the situation is completely reversed.

It was this woman who deliberately stabilized me, making me think she believed it, and then while I was resting, she took the opportunity to make a move and rushed out to open the door. '

After thinking this through, Li Chengyi felt an indescribable feeling in his heart. This Meng Dongdong looks simple on the outside, and speaks as if he is not short of money, relying on money to make his way.

In fact, the response to the situation and the psychological reaction are very fast.

click.

He reached out and opened the small door of the maintenance room, which was empty, and then closed it again with a soft sound.

There are really no monsters left.

"How to find the exit, do you have an idea?" Since the other party didn't believe the monster, he didn't mention it. The most important thing now is not to prove that there are no monsters, but to find the exit.

"You said you came from the bottom, right?" Meng Dongdong asked.

"yes."

"I saw the same scene along the way. The only thing that can be opened and closed is the small door of the maintenance room, right?" She asked again.

"It should be. I can only confirm that the two doors can be opened." Li Chengyi replied. The so-called two doors are the doors through which the monsters came out twice.

"That's enough. A simple analysis shows that our hope of going out probably lies in the maintenance workshop that can be opened here." Meng Dongdong said seriously.

Li Chengyi frowned when he heard that, did this have something to do with the maintenance room?

"Believe it or not, when the door of the maintenance room is turned from the inside out, don't let it open. It's dangerous!" he warned again.

"Monsters are all nonsense." Meng Dongdong frowned.

"That's right. There are no monsters. I've had enough of this damn place. Even if it's a monster, let me kill one!"

Li Chengyi was about to speak when suddenly a violent male voice came from not far away.

Someone else! ?

He quickly followed the reputation.

At the corner, another tall and strong young man came down from the upper floor.

This person has thick eyebrows and big eyes, wearing a short white T-shirt with a miniature microphone clipped around the neckline. His brown skin is firm and strong, and he has a cropped cut.

Looking from a distance, one could clearly see the calmness and stability on his face, as if nothing could shake him.

Most importantly, he was holding a black pistol in his hand with a thick buttstock and a decorative silver ring around the muzzle, which was very eye-catching.

gun! ?

Before Li Chengyi could decide whether it was a real gun or not.

The man had already walked a few meters away from the two of them and stood still.

"Some people say I'm going to die. Once I get into this hellish place, it's impossible to get out alive, heh." He sneered, "I don't believe it!"

He raised his hand, opened the safety of the pistol, and made a clicking sound.
