Hidden Corners

"When I read the materials, I saw this, but I didn't go into detail." Li Chengyi nodded.

"Perhaps what you encounter is a crossing dead corner. The longer the dead corner is, the easier it is for many mysterious and unknown things to remain. Its structure may also blend with the dead corner that was created later. We have encountered this before. "Sindra said, "The depth is the level of every dead corner. An expert once said that if you can dig out the deepest core of the dead corner, then maybe you can find the secret of the dead corner."

"The secret is too far away. Since that little fat man is stealing from Zhouji Pastry, maybe they are all in the same era? Follow this clue and look for it? Maybe you will find it." Li Chengyi suggested.

"I've already asked people to do this. But the information involved in the process is too much and too old, and I can't check them all at once. It will take time." Syndra shook his head and lifted the AR glasses. Obviously, he has passed the AR and remote The employees of the company contacted.

"By the way, that little fat man seems to be still wearing a school uniform with a mark on it, the name is Dongliu Experimental Primary School!" Suddenly Li Chengyi added again.

"With the name of the school? That would be much easier to find!" Syndra cheered up.

In the eyes of outsiders, Li Chengyi's state is likely to be a precursor to mental illness, but in his view, this state is likely to be a flash of memory.

But memory flashed, Li Chengyi didn't have an accurate description of whether he had completely entered a blind spot or half-entered.

Sitting in the car, he carefully recalled that when he was investigating Grius, his memory flashes were not serious at that time, but only intermittently.

Occasionally seeing a hand, or suddenly seeing a human figure, these are just fragments.

But this time, when he was in Wu Street, he completely entered the dead corner of Wu Street.

Not long after, Sima Gui also came back and got into the car by himself.

His expression was serious, his face was pale, and there was a faint trace of blood on one arm.

"The situation has changed!" As soon as he got into the car, he found the medicine box and quickly treated the injury on his right arm.

"I entered the memory flash just now, and just after I entered, I found that there was a large group of black-masked monsters attacking everywhere in the foggy street. I accidentally got caught in the hand, but luckily I backed out according to the inertia, otherwise"

He picked up a bottle of iodophor, and poured it on the palm-sized scratch on his right arm.

hiss.

Sweat quickly seeped from his forehead, condensing into fine beads of sweat.

"Does iodophor hurt too? Isn't it alcohol?" Zhong Ying couldn't help but make a sound.

"It's up to me whether it hurts or not! Why, do you have an opinion!?" Sima Gui gave her a hard look.

Li Chengyi, who was sitting by the side, was a little weird and silent.

He suspected that the current changes in Wujie were caused by him.

He put on the flower scale clothes and the slot machine and carried it hard before, but something happened.

"Now does that mean you can't flash memories casually?" In order to pretend that he didn't know anything, he still asked.

"I'm afraid not for the time being." Sima Gui shook his head. "I wore two layers of bulletproof suits, and a large piece of skin was scratched on both of them. Most people are not prepared to go in, and they are afraid that they will be killed in an instant."

"Don't worry, the blind corner will automatically return to its original state after a while, we just need to wait now, maybe this is part of the cycle of changes in the blind corner of Fog Street." Syndra said solemnly.

"Okay." Sima Gui nodded. "It can only be the."

"Then if I go in halfway," Zhong Ying immediately became worried.

"That means you're out of luck." Sima Gui sneered.

A few people lost the mood to talk for a while.

While waiting for the company to check the information, everyone went back to the villa to rest.

Because of the turmoil in Fog Street, the danger has increased significantly. Therefore, both Sima Gui and Li Chengyi were reminded by Syndra not to go wandering around in that area, and wait until the situation subsides completely.

The dead angle subsides, usually in about a week, which is the rule that Syndra has summed up after so many years of tracking the dead angle.

Time passed day by day.

The little fat man's information has never been found, and Zhong Ying is getting more and more impatient.

Because the time is getting closer and closer to her entry time. If it was really as dangerous as Sima Gui said, she would definitely die if she entered at this time.

As time approached, Li Chengyi gradually became nervous. Apart from going out to find materials and absorb evil thoughts every day, he kept looking for information about Dongliu Experimental Primary School by himself.

It's better to take action than to do nothing.

What he was worried about had nothing to do with Zhong Ying, but mainly because he was worried that he would face a new dead end when his time was up, and that he might not have so much time and energy to investigate the matter of Wu Street again.

Once pulled in by a dead corner, it will keep being pulled in, again and again, until it is completely dead.

Soon, a week passed, and the news had not been found yet, but Zhong Ying was obviously fidgeting.

She went up and down in the villa every day, asking Syndra and Song Ran repeatedly, trying to get an accurate news, but every time she got disappointment.

In a blink of an eye, the end of July arrived, and it will soon be the beginning of August.

Ding.

In the lobby on the first floor of the villa, Syndra's cell phone suddenly rang softly.

He picked it up and looked at it, his expression instantly became serious.

"It's here! We found it!!" There was a hint of surprise in his voice.

The rest of the people sitting on the sofa and chairs stood up one after another and looked at him in unison.

"My ten million!" Sima Gui laughed.

Li Chengyi's heart was also relieved, the clue was found, and his flying instrument might also be found.

The point is, that little flower

"Boss, is that little fat man's clue?" He asked aloud.

"Well, that little fat guy does have this person. The information on Dongliu Primary School is incomplete, and in addition to the fortress of silence between cities, some places can't even connect to each other. So it took a lot of time." Xin Della nodded seriously.

He took out the old signature tool - projection flashlight.

Press the switch against a white wall on the side of the hall.

swish.

Suddenly a light curtain projected out, forming a screen on the wall.

On the top, what is reflected is the photo of the little fat man that impressed Li Chengyi very deeply.

Cylinder, three lines, only two holes for nostrils, barely visible bridge.

The specific information of this person slowly emerged below.

'Bai Feipeng: 3101-3178. The only son of Baitang, the owner of Baijia Bookstore on Xuezhong Road, inherited the life of the bookstore and never left Zhaoshan in his life. In 3177, he fell ill in bed and lost his mobility. '

"That's all?" Sima Gui asked in amazement, "After all the research, that's all, just this little information?"

"That's it." Syndra nodded. He turned to look at a few people.

"But that's enough, it's enough," he continued.

"How do you say?" Li Chengyi asked aloud.

"Because, Baijia Bookstore is still open!" Syndra said in a deep voice.

On another street more than ten kilometers away from Xuezhong Road-Qianhong Road, Qingshui Town, Baijia Bookstore.

The black luxury off-road vehicle slowly stopped on the side of the road, stopping between two slender saplings.

The door opens.

Song Ran got out of the car first, looked left and right, followed by Sima Gui, Zhong Ying, Li Chengyi, and finally Syndra.

The group looked around.

It is a transitional junction between the old town and the new town.

The old building is crumbling, and a few steps away is a brand new shopping mall building with colorful billboards.

Standing in front of the old store, you can still hear howling from the KTV with the latest technology in the distance, looming.

Old and new form an inexplicable intersection here.

A few people stood in front of Baijia Bookstore and looked up at the bookstore.

On the left of the bookstore is a coffee shop, on the right is a stationery store, and upstairs is a dark, abandoned house waiting to be demolished, even the balcony windows have been removed.

The scattered slogans and billboards are clearly visible on the wall outside the store.

It was only after four o'clock in the afternoon, and the store was deserted and empty.

There was only a bald old man in a checkered shirt, sitting at the door playing a mobile game.

"The Baijia Bookstore has been open for more than a hundred years. The owner has never changed. They are all from the Bai family. So if we are looking for the original Wuji grocery store, we will definitely find clues from here." Syndra said in a deep voice. road.

"I'll go." Zhong Ying looked at the old man and finally felt confident. With her chest out and approaching, she bent down and asked softly.

"Uncle, are you the owner of this bookstore?"

The old man stood still, didn't lift his head, his eyes didn't fluctuate, and his hands were still pressing the phone in his hand like lightning.

Zhong Ying froze, and asked again.

Unfortunately, there was still no response, and the old man didn't raise his head, allowing Zhong Ying to wander around, without even changing his basic sitting posture.

"See, this is the concentration power that really belongs to the player!" Sima Gui said in awe. "My generation of gamers can ignore any temptations around me in order to achieve the goal in my heart! Don't say that Zhong Ying has no beauty, even if she does, it must be meaningless!"

"Are you still a serious game enthusiast?" Li Chengyi said speechlessly.

"The reality is too boring, I have to rely on games to find it." Sima Gui sighed.

Li Chengyi was speechless.

Seeing Zhong Ying's failure, Syndra approached and slowly pulled out a few hundred-dollar bills from her wallet.

"Boss, buy books."

The old man paused and raised his head slowly.

"Find it by yourself, two copies for ten yuan, one free for more than one hundred."

Several people exchanged glances, but did not enter the bookstore. Syndra continued to talk to the old man aloud.

"The owner's surname is Bai, right? I heard that this Bai family bookstore has been here for hundreds of years? Is it really there? Doesn't it look like it?"

"Of course, my grandfather passed on the store to me, saying that it was only a bookstore. At that time, the income was much higher than it is now." The old man put down his phone and sighed. "Aren't you here to buy books?"

People are old and smart, not to mention that the few people in front of them don't even enter the bookstore, so don't be too obvious.

"Well, we are here to inquire with the boss about a person, Bai Feipeng, do you know him?" Syndra asked.

"That's my grandpa." The old man smiled, with two orange peel-like wrinkles on his cheeks. "Dead for many years."

"That's a coincidence." Zhong Ying breathed a sigh of relief. "Uncle, since you have opened a bookstore here for so long, do you know where there used to be a Wuji grocery store? You used to be on Xuezhong Road, right?"
