Hidden Corners

Yongnian Town is tens of kilometers away from the ruins of the Glius parking lot.

In a ten-storey silver building surrounded by coconut trees.

A tall man wrapped in gray and white gauze, only showing a pair of brown eyes, was quickly approaching the building.

He walked through the hall as if there was no one else present, ignoring the slightly bowed etiquette of the security guards and staff passing by, walked to the elevator, entered, and pressed down on the ninth floor.

Outside the elevator, two employees who were about to come in took a few steps and were about to enter the door. Seeing the man in white gauze standing inside, they immediately retracted their feet resentfully, allowing the elevator door to close.

The man in white gauze seemed to be used to it too, he kept silent and stared at the display screen on the floor.

Soon the ninth floor arrived.

The door opens.

The entire ninth floor is a large lounge.

On the right wall, the gray and black marble pattern wall covering is used as the base, and the blue and black metal is used as the line, and a neat line of logo-Aixi Real Estate is drawn.

In the lounge, there are billiards in the wine cabinet, audio-visual game consoles, and all kinds of entertainment.

In front of a circle of curved floor-to-ceiling windows, stood a hunchbacked old man with snow-white hair.

Looking at the sea outside the window, the old man seemed to be in deep thought.

Except for him, there was no one else in the whole lounge, so that the huge space was obviously filled with a lot of items, but it still lacked a trace of vitality.

The man in white gauze stepped out of the elevator, walked quickly on the gray carpet, and came behind the old man.

"Someone is investigating Grius' garage." He said, his voice was a bit weird, not bad, but too standard. It is a standard to extremely impersonal language pack male voice.

"Gnan has already told me." The old man turned around, revealing a wrinkled face.

His chin beard is sparse and barely visible, and his skin is like a flesh-colored turtle shell, with many wrinkles that look more like cracks of some kind.

The two eyes are small and a little round, but the spirit that reveals them is unusually full and full.

"It's a new company that hasn't been established for a long time. The registrant is from Baixing, so we can't find out the details." The man in Baisha replied.

"I originally wanted them to retreat in the face of difficulties and understand the principles of propriety." The old man sighed, "Unfortunately, people don't care."

"You will only know how to hold back if you make them hurt. Ge Nan can't do it, the method is too gentle. I'll go." The man in white gauze proposed.

"His method is very effective against ordinary backgrounds, but this time it's different." The old man nodded, "Go ahead and clean up your moves. What happened back then was suppressed with great difficulty, and it must never be brought out again."

"Don't worry, how long will dozens of people not go missing at this kind of border? There are so many smuggled and armed people coming and going. If you are unlucky, you will lose everything." The man in white gauze took off his veil, revealing an ugly face full of burn scars. . The scariest thing was that his entire chin was made of silver-white metal.

A stretch of yellow sand surrounded by groves of coconut palms.

On the sandy ground in the center, two yellow vehicles similar to excavators are already working.

Staff members wearing yellow hats stood around holding some long pipes that looked like pipes.

Everyone has the simple words Hongjin printed on the back of their jackets.

The buzzing sound gradually approached from a distance, and soon two vehicles, one large and one small, slowed down and stopped on the side of the sandy ground.

On the black car in front, two men got off.

One of them is tall and burly, the other is well-proportioned and young. It was Song Ran and Li Chengyi who had just arrived here.

On the yellow truck behind, the three little yellow hats who had contacted them before also came down.

When Li Chengyi got out of the car, his eyes immediately fell on the black hole in the middle of the sand, which was about five meters long and wide.

The edge of the hole has been reinforced with special metal materials, and the center is pitch black. I don't know how deep it has been dug.

There are also two long black pipes extending from the edge of the hole, constantly pulling out something.

"Our people have been working here for two days. When the machine digs down, we must get expert advice, otherwise we dare not dig casually. It has already touched the outer wall of the garage." The person in charge of Little Yellow Hat is a small A middle-aged man with a beard, looks very vicissitudes, and his skin is very dark.

"I'm Huang Zhisheng, and I'm in charge of all the excavation work here." He reached out and shook Song Ran and Li Chengyi lightly.

"Where is expert Ding Chongyi? Has he given a plan?" Song Ran asked succinctly.

"She" Huang Zhisheng pointed to the hole in the center, "it's still down there, and she said she wants to check the soil material at the bottom by herself."

"Then just wait." Song Ran nodded.

Li Chengyi has no objection. Professionals are responsible for professional matters. He only needs to wait for everything to be ready when he comes here.

Now that the scene is not ready, in order to save time, he also needs to do another thing.

That is, to investigate the mysterious boy and test the method of absorbing evil thoughts.

Taking out his phone, he checked the text messages and read them one by one. There was no message sent by Syndra.

He profiled the boy's photo before, and now the company's experts are helping to search for the boy's identity, name and other information.

But now it seems that the search is very difficult, and there is no response yet.

Putting away the phone, he exhaled, took out the AR glasses, and gently approached the central hole.

"The parking lot of Grius was completely buried in the Leizi earthquake more than 80 years ago."

A little yellow hat came a few steps closer and gave him a basic explanation.

"The entire parking lot is divided into five floors, all of which are located underground. It is estimated that more than 600 small cars can be parked. The builder is an old company called Aixi Engineering. But the strange thing is that the parking lot was not long after it was built. Because various facilities are unqualified, they are restricted and cannot be used." The little yellow hat said in a low voice.

"Unqualified? Not activated?" Li Chengyi raised his eyebrows, "How could there be casualties there?"

"This is about the particularity of that era." The little yellow hat raised her head, revealing a pretty face of a young girl. Although her skin was a little dark, her eyes were bright, her pupils were blue, and her shoulder-length hair was short. With a smile on her face, she is a very friendly girl.

"More than 80 years ago, when the border conflict broke out, our country was unstable and oppressed by the White Star. Grees on the border wanted to take the opportunity to occupy a few small towns here and build a port near here." Girl said softly.

"There was a riot, and Tiamogue was on fire everywhere, and mobs burned, killed and looted the city with guns, and many people looked for places to hide.

Grius is located in a remote place, and the ventilation channels extend in all directions. As long as a few guns are placed at the door, it will be easy to defend and difficult to attack. Many people hid here. "

"Then there was an earthquake?" Li Chengyi understood.

"Yes. A lot of people died. Some people escaped, but more were buried. There are probably more trapped inside." The little yellow hat girl nodded.

Li Chengyi sighed softly, looked at the cave in front of him, fell silent for a while, put on the AR glasses, walked over, and looked down into the depths of the cave.

The entrance of the cave is deep and dark. If you look inside carefully, you can only see a place more than ten meters deep, and it will not go any deeper.

Li Chengyi frowned slightly, and turned on the AR engineering mode.

puff.

A pale hand slammed onto the edge of the hole.

Li Chengyi was startled, took a step back, and quickly took off his glasses.

But there was nothing beside the hole in front of him, no pale hands.

He frowned, and glanced at the girl in the little yellow hat who was bewildered.

Withdrawing his gaze, he stared at the burrow again.

'Is it a hallucination? '

Picking up the AR, he thought for a while and put the glasses on again.

This time there was nothing in the burrow, no pale hands.

In engineering mode, he turns on the magnification function and night vision function.

The black in the burrow quickly faded, turning into a light gray.

His gaze stretched all the way in.

Rough black earth, a fixed silver metal frame, the inside walls coated with some kind of transparent adhesive designed to set.

Together, the three formed this deep cave that went straight to the ground for more than two hundred meters.

After watching for a while, the depth was too deep, the light was too dim, and I still couldn't see anything, so Li Chengyi also shook his head and left.

He didn't stop, but wandered around with Song Ran to check the terrain.

The city of Tiamogue is nearly 30 kilometers away, so it is not convenient to buy anything, and there are no hotels around. There is only a fishing village two kilometers away.

The two waited on the ground for more than an hour, and finally.

From the burrow, an old woman in an AR camouflage uniform covered in mud slowly crawled out.

As soon as the little yellow hats around saw it, two people immediately went up to help the old woman out.

"Old Song, it's nice to meet you again."

This woman looked at her age, at least sixty years old, her face was full of wrinkles, and her black ponytail hair was also a little gray. Although she was dressed plainly and simply, she still exuded a scholarly air.

"I would be very happy if it was someone else, forget about you." Song Ran replied with a cold face, and approached.

The two approached lightly and touched their elbows. This is Bai Xing's social etiquette, which is equivalent to shaking hands.

"I'm here to accompany Mr. Li Chengyi to investigate the situation. If you find anything, you can tell him." Song Ran pointed to Li Chengyi who was approaching behind him.

"Hello." Li Chengyi extended his hand friendly.

"Hello, nice young man, very energetic." Ding Chongyi smiled and shook hands with him.

"Expert Ding, please explain the following situation." Li Chengyi went straight to the point without any nonsense.

Looking at it now, there is nothing that makes Song Ran upset. This is a very normal old expert.

"The situation below is fairly stable. A small part has collapsed, but most of them should be good. I tested it with a vibration detector, and the vertical load-bearing walls are all intact." Ding Chongyi explained.

"That is to say, people can enter?"

"Yes, but you need to strengthen the structure and time." Ding Chongyi nodded, "Besides, before you came, we found some information based on the photos you profiled, you can take a look."

As she spoke, she took out a silver storage device from her breast pocket and handed it to Li Chengyi.

Li Chengyi took it, pressed the button on the side of the memory, and touched the AR.

Immediately, a large piece of graphic text appeared in his field of vision.

It's all about the Grieus parking lot and the boy in white.

Li Chengyi scanned it carefully and quickly, his expression became a little solemn.

In this document, various investigation results are recorded in detail, as well as the speculation and analysis of the company's think tank.

"It's been too long to find information about this young man, but according to the investigation, we found something very interesting." Ding Chongyi laughed.

"An epidemic?" Li Chengyi whispered. That's what's speculated in the data.
