Hidden Corners

Ding.

The elevator doors slowly opened.

Syndra was talking to a tall, thin man with a shaved head. Both of them were standing at the elevator entrance, and they seemed to be going out.

Seeing Li Chengyi and Li Chengyi, Syndra's expression relaxed.

"Xiaoyi, you came just in time, hurry up, we will rush to Zhaoshan immediately."

"Zhaoshan?" Li Chengyi was at a loss, that place was at least three hundred kilometers away from Suiyang, what was he doing there?

"A little girl I just signed has entered a dead corner over there and needs our help." Syndra said quickly. "Put on the glasses first, and I'll pass on the information to you."

Li Chengyi didn't talk nonsense, turned around to give up the empty seat, let the two come in, and then put on the AR glasses.

Soon line by line of information was sent to his device.

'Company mission: help Zhong Ying escape from the 'dead corner of the foggy street'. '

'Fog Street Blind Corner-a section of dark street shrouded in mist, where the different shop fronts are closed and no one is there. On the roadside at the end of the street, there is a slot machine that is powered on. '

‘Danger point: You must pull the slot machine every once in a while, otherwise you will encounter unknown dangers.

After the slot machine rolls, three symbols will appear.

When the three patterns are of different types, the player will lose part of his own body.

If two patterns of the same type appear, an unknown reward will be obtained. So far, the dead people have obtained a dagger with special functions and a bottle of special medicine with unknown functions.

Three patterns of the same type appear, outcome unknown.

Two or three identical patterns appear, outcome unknown. '

While reading the information, Li Chengyi, along with Syndra, Song Ran, and Sima Gui, had already boarded Syndra's special car, that is, the urban off-road fog flag.

Song Ran drove, Xindela sat in the second row, Li Chengyi and Sima Gui sat in the third row.

The position of the six-seater car is exactly 112 distribution.

After the dull closing sound, the car slowly accelerated and moved along the dense traffic flow.

In the afternoon and evening, there was much more traffic coming off work than usual, and the car moved forward slowly, step by step.

Seeing that the speed was too slow, Li Chengyi in the car simply asked about the situation first.

"Boss, the slot machine is the key to this blind spot in the foggy street?"

"It should be. The little girl has already left twice. The danger is not as strong as yours. She is the only one inside for the time being." Syndra replied.

"temporary?"

"Well, there was a person who disappeared suddenly during the interaction with the slot machine. So now she is alone."

"Then what can we do now?" Li Chengyi asked.

"I have initially found out where this foggy street is, and I need people to investigate the details." Sindra replied, "You are more familiar with dead ends and more adaptable, and people with strong mental strength may be more familiar with dead ends when they are close to dead ends. There will be flashes of memory, and then we will add details, so this mission is for you to try. Don’t be stressed, it doesn’t matter if you can’t find clues.”

"What will happen if you don't play slot machines?" Sima Gui, who had been silent all this time, suddenly asked.

"Zhong Ying didn't say that the little girl was called Zhong Ying, but the two times she went in, the time she stayed was longer, and the range was very large. According to the inertia of the dead corner, I am afraid that the third time, she will be kept inside forever. Sindra sighed.

"How did she come out the first two times?" Sima Gui asked.

"One time, the person she was with went missing, and another time, she played a slot machine, got lucky, and got two things." Syndra replied. "Of course, it could also be that the slot machine has a higher chance of winning."

"Is there any blind angle profile?" Li Chengyi asked.

"I'll pass it on to you, and share it with a small group." Syndra replied.

Soon, he pulled all three into a small group with only two people.

The three of them, plus the two in the group, were exactly five.

There were two people in the original group, one was Syndra, and the other was the new signing Zhong Ying.

"This is a profile scene picture." Syndra quickly sent a photo-like picture.

It was a hazy, dull gray mist.

In the fog, a straight street can be vaguely seen, spreading from the feet to the front, to the distance, and there is no end to the fog.

The street floor is paved with old cement with many cracks.

There are old-fashioned concrete pillar street lamps near both sides. Behind the street lamps are sidewalks and shops along the street.

The whole street was dimly lit, there was no one on the street, all the shops were closed tightly, and there was a dead silence.

Several people looked carefully, and found a dilapidated slot machine in front of a small children's products store at the end of the street.

The screen of the slot machine was powered on, and a faint colored light shone in the gray fog.

It was the only color in the gray neighborhood.

"That's the slot machine?" Li Chengyi could sense something wrong with the machine without anyone telling him.

Everything else is grey, but the slot machine is colored, which in itself is an abnormality within the normal.

"The specific situation, after you go there, investigate according to the memory flashes in the dead corner. Memory flashes generally depend on mental strength. The stronger the spirit, the more flashes, the clearer it is, and it may even affect reality in the dead corner." Syndra reminded.

"So, the flash of memory is like an omen?" Li Chengyi suddenly realized.

"It's very similar. But it's fundamentally different. The omen will definitely pull you into a blind spot, and you will be hurt in the omen. But the memory flash won't, it's just an image, a remnant of the scene, a trace of the blind spot. Unless you The spirit is extremely strong, otherwise it will not hurt you. Sima Gui calmly explained.

"Then for those who are mentally strong, is there a way to distinguish between the two?" Li Chengyi frowned.

"No, it's all up to you to judge." Sima Gui glanced at him, "According to my personal experience, the omen is that no matter where you go, the omen will pull you into a dead end. The flash of memory means that as soon as you leave a fixed place, you will not be caught. You will encounter the flash effect of the designated blind spot again."

Li Chengyi suddenly thought of it twice when he was in college and when he was at a rice noodle shop.

Those two times, it now appears, are likely to be flashes of memory, not omens.

"I heard that you want to be an omnicist?" Sima Gui suddenly changed the subject and asked Li Chengyi.

"That's right. What does Mr. Sima want to ask?" Li Chengyi didn't know why he suddenly brought this up.

"With so much money, wouldn't it be nice to spend it comfortably? Go throw that bottomless pit." Sima Gui shook his head.

"It's always right to strengthen yourself." Li Chengyi replied.

"Anyway, people like us won't live long. Why don't you do something you want to do, but you didn't dare to do it before. For example, do you have a girl you like? A sport you want to play? Or try a new type of hallucinogen?" Sima Gui disdains.

"this"

"What is this? Anyway, we are all dying people, what do we want to do, death in a blind corner is death, and death outside is the same." Sima Guiman didn't care, "I still know a few people, and in the end, they are dead." When I went in, I specifically bombed several shopping malls."

"Why are you going to blow up the mall when you're fine?" Li Chengyi couldn't understand.

"Look at it." Sima Gui smiled, "I'm living day after day, and I may die at any time. Seeing so many people in the mall smile so happily. It's normal to do something out of line."

"That kind of people are a minority after all." Syndra interjected.

"Actually, I often think so too." Sima Gui said with a smile.

Syndra didn't speak anymore, the dead man was hovering on the verge of life and death, he was too nervous, and he had seen a lot when he was tracking down his son's whereabouts.

Even his son himself is of a similar type.

"Live every day is a day, try to experience what you want to experience, there is nothing to worry about, whoever makes me unhappy, I will make him unhappy." Sima Gui said with a smile.

Li Chengyi was thoughtful when he heard this.

Indeed, they are going to die, who would care about the usual red tape, politeness, rules, all put aside.

Just like when he was in the Grius parking lot before, the people from Ashe Real Estate were looking for trouble, and he didn't hesitate to shoot at full speed to solve everyone.

His mentality at that time was just like what Sima Gui said, 'Anyway, I may die at any time, so I don't bother to think about what to do, let's do it first! '

For a while, the car fell silent, as if a little dull because of Sima Gui's words.

At this time, the car finally left the urban area and drove towards the suburbs.

"That's why Zhong Ying didn't want to go to the official, but came to us." Syndra said slowly.

"That's right, if we catch a person like us, the authorities will definitely lock him up first, so as not to cause trouble if he suffers from a psychotic attack." Sima Gui nodded.

"The more this is the case, the more unwilling many people are to be discovered by the authorities." Syndra said.

Li Chengyi silently watched the scenery passing by outside the window.

I suddenly realized something in my heart.

These dead end people, if they have no status, maybe they are really poor people. A terrorist with extremely high social instability.

Yongnian Town.

Ashe Real Estate Headquarters.

The scene has been investigated by the police, the body has been removed, and the blood has been cleaned up.

At night, crickets chirped one after another, and the entire Ashe Building was silent.

After so many people died one after another, this place has been regarded as an absolute murderous building by the people around.

Even if you get a little closer, you can smell the faint blood wafting out of it.

night time.

A tall woman in a gray and white windbreaker and a black scarf around her neck came slowly to the iron gate outside the Ashe Building and looked inside.

In the dark night, the only thing that can be used as a light source is the bright moonlight of the white stars.

But the woman seemed to be able to see at night, her gaze sometimes moved and sometimes fixed.

Every time her eyes stopped, it was the place where Li Chengyi shot and killed Ai Xi's security guard.

"Have you found any clues?" asked the woman's ear.

The sound came from tiny earplugs in her earholes.

"Found a little. I'll go in and have a look." The woman replied in a low voice.

"I found out here that recently, the only one that had conflicts with Aixi Real Estate was a newly established pharmaceutical company in Suiyang City." The male voice in the earplugs continued.

"What's the name?"

"Hongjin, there should be something related, you go back and check." The male voice said.

"Well. Let me go in and observe first. This guy has good strength and speed. It seems to be an experimental transformation body made by some private capital or small country."

The woman looked left and right, rushed forward lightly, grabbed the closed iron gate lightly with her hand, and passed the two-meter-high iron gate like an ape.

Then she landed gently, without stopping, followed the route that Li Chengyi moved, and rushed straight into the hall.
