Hidden Corners

Li Chengyi simply chose the buffet dessert set, placed the order and paid, then got up to pick up the plate, ready to pick up the dessert.

"...I can't take it anymore, really, I really can't take it anymore!"

When he walked to the dessert counter, he suddenly heard a sobbing voice.

".It's okay. You just didn't have a good rest at night. The exam pressure is a bit too much. Take a good rest these days, do the meditation I told you before, and adjust your mentality. You will be fine." Another female voice comforted in a low voice.

"It's useless, I said it's not a hallucination, not a dream!" The female voice continued.

"I cut myself a knife at that time. Look, the wound is still there. It's true! It's true!" The girl's voice was very young, probably only seventeen or eighteen years old, and her emotions were clearly on the verge of collapse.

"Have you seen a psychiatrist on the Internet? You can find the best registered consultation. Tell me about your situation. Maybe they are well-informed and have seen all kinds of diseases. They should be able to."

"I said it's not a disease! It's all true! It's true!!" The girl became emotional.

"I'm going to die. Woo. Go in there again, and I'm going to die." She cried.

"You're just too nervous and tired. You'll be fine. Don't worry, I'll be with you." The other woman comforted her earnestly and gently.

Li Chengyi picked up a piece of yogurt cake with strawberries, put it on the tray in his hand, and glanced at the direction of the sound out of the corner of his eye.

Just to the right of the self-service dessert counter, at the second table counting down, sat two young girls.

The one who was crying was a delicate girl with black curly hair on a white background and black dots, and white glasses.

She tightly pinched the coffee spoon in front of her with her fingers, her knuckles turned white, almost breaking the white porcelain spoon, and her whole body was shaking.

Opposite her, a short-haired girl in a dark blue hoodie was comforting her in a worried voice.

The two seemed to have noticed Li Chengyi's peripheral vision, and their voices quickly dropped.

Li Chengyi quickly took another small cake made in the shape of a banana, turned around and took a glass of milk, instead of returning to his previous position, he walked to another table not far from the two girls and sat down.

He was very interested in the topic they had just now. What the girl in the white sweater experienced reminded him of what he was experiencing now.

It's just that his actions seemed to have attracted the attention of the two girls, and they also glanced at him from the corner of their eyes, and consciously lowered their voices, almost inaudible.

Li Chengyi lowered his head and hesitated while eating the cake.

He was thinking about whether he should take the initiative to talk to them and ask about the situation.

But whether what he saw was good or bad is still unknown. After hesitating for a while, he still sat still.

Not long after, the two girls sitting next to each other got up, picked up the small bag and left quickly.

Li Chengyi didn't talk to each other until the end, just sat where he was.

Recalling what the girl cried just now, he frowned slightly in silence, and suddenly, a thought flashed through his mind.

'I'm so stupid. '

In the information age, he still sits there stupidly and does nothing. Since there is a problem, the best way is naturally to...

Taking out the phone from his pocket, Li Chengyi skillfully unlocked it and opened the browser.

Then search: dreaming of entering a strange place.

Tick ​​and click to confirm, and a row of information links suddenly appeared on the screen.

'Dream interpretation charges. '

'Dream Interpretation Daquan Member Edition. '

"Su Lun, a master of psychology from the Northern School, answers the unknown questions for you"

'I dreamed that my father was going to cut me down. '

'I dreamed of falling into a strange toilet. '

The messy search results made Li Chengyi a little dizzy, and at a glance, they were all irrelevant to what he was looking for.

But information is like this, like looking for a needle in a haystack, you can only filter it a little bit.

He patiently looked for the most likely ones one by one, clicked on them, and checked.

The light outside the window gradually dimmed, the sunlight became oblique, and the number of people in the coffee shop gradually increased.

The number of people coming off work began to increase.

Li Chengyi finally drank the milk in the cup, got up and picked up the phone.

There are too many people around, which is not conducive for him to check information quietly, so he plans to change places.

Creaking, he pushed open the door of the coffee shop. When he passed the clump of small white flowers by the door, a touch of black flashed across the back of his right hand, and a line of clear writing emerged on the back of his hand.

It was written in the language he had learned in his previous life.

The handwriting is quite concise.

'Loading is starting, please touch it for ten seconds and then release it. '

Except for Li Chengyi, no one else could see the black writing.

But he kept searching with his mobile phone in his left hand, without noticing any changes in his hand.

As he walked farther away, he gradually became farther away from the clump of small flowers, and the words on the back of his right hand also faded rapidly.

'Failed to open, please touch it for ten seconds.' The writing disappeared quickly, as if it had never appeared before, and the battery was dead.

At this time, Li Chengyi's attention was slowly concentrated. He clicked on the links on the phone, and he actually saw some unusual things.

'Blind corner forum? '

'Dead End Club. '

'Dead End Research Institute. '

One after another, related websites entered his field of vision one after another.

He randomly opened a dead-end club.

Immediately, a dark web page automatically popped up on the screen.

‘If you hit a blind spot, don’t be afraid. Because you are afraid or not, you will die. '

A line of red letters slowly emerged.

‘You can’t escape from the dead corner, it’s like a shackle, it will be tied around your neck forever, making you unable to breathe, step by step into despair. '

After the red text was displayed, rows of news links emerged.

‘A couple in Wanxi City mysteriously disappeared from their home. After the disappearance, there were still freshly cooked hot noodles on the table. '

‘An old man in the same city in Jiaxin did not return after throwing rubbish in the middle of the night. The monitoring did not find anything abnormal. It is suspected that the old man had never left the stairwell at all. '

‘A student in Yiyang City mysteriously disappeared when he was returning home from school, and the front and rear road monitoring found nothing. '

Rows of news are all missing persons cases collected from various places.

At the bottom, there is a common sense exchange entry button.

Li Chengyi clicked, and the screen was immediately transferred to another webpage.

This is an interface similar to a forum, above the rows of posts, several bright red titles are pinned to the top.

'1: A list of community rules, how to earn points. '

'2: A must-see for newcomers. '

'3: Be sure to protect private information when posting and communicating, to avoid being deceived, there are criminals recently'

Li Chengyi quickly clicked "Must-see for newcomers".

With a swipe, a row of words popped up, hundreds of words in total.

‘No one has ever seen a blind spot, maybe it’s just a legend, but the ever-increasing cases of missing persons make us believe that there must be some kind of force that is constantly approaching and haunting. '

‘It’s hard to detect a blind spot, and it’s easy to be misunderstood as a dream, but it’s a pity that you will wake up from a dream, and once you enter a blind spot, you will definitely die, and it’s impossible to reappear. '

'If you encounter a dead end, please do not contact us, try to enjoy the last good life, the dead end will generally approach slowly, and will completely pull you into it at the third prediction, do everything you want to do but dare not do it. '

Li Chengyi frowned slightly.

The information on this forum smells of decadence and broken cans.

He quickly looked at the position of the person who left the message, where there was a nickname.

'——The generalist. '

He quickly clicked on the name, and a small box popped up on the screen.

'Nickname: Generalist. Real name: Zhang Xieying. He mysteriously disappeared at home in June 22, and his whereabouts are still unknown. If anyone finds out, please contact this number. '

Below is a black and white photo of a woman and a phone number.

The woman in the photo is not so much a woman as she is an extremely strong and stalwart brawny guy.

His eyes are sharp and unruly, there is a scar on his forehead, and his neck is as thick as a bucket. You can see lines of strong muscles through the photos.

He was wearing a military green T-shirt with a military logo, so he might have been a soldier.

Li Chengyi looked at the current time: Thursday, May 13, 24.

'Has been missing for almost two years? '

He sighed in his heart, if he had suspected that what he experienced was a hallucination dream before, but now, seeing so many real proofs, he understood that what he experienced was not an illusion.

He continued to search the forum. Apart from getting some hints, the entire forum was more about some hobbyists discussing and bragging about their dreams.

Without getting more information, Li Chengyi reluctantly closed the website.

At this time, the sky gradually darkened.

He walked to a bus stop, stood still and waited.

Standing and standing, he felt a little tired, maybe it was caused by eating too much sweets.

Taking out his mobile phone, he continued to browse the webpage to check the situation about the blind spots.

Kaka.

Suddenly, the phone screen froze, and then turned into a cartoon pattern of a little yellow dog sitting wagging its tail.

There is another line below.

'Sorry, your network signal is not good, please check and try again. '

"Um?"

Li Chengyi quickly glanced at the mobile phone signal bar in the upper right corner, and sure enough, all the signals that were originally full became empty at this time, turning into a red cross.

He shook his phone, guessing if something went wrong, but suddenly he felt something was wrong, it seemed a little too quiet around him.

Looked up.

His eyes widened in horror.

The surrounding area is no longer a bus station!

It was the underground garage he had entered before! !

In a dark parking lot.

There is no car in the square and open field, just like a closed long box that extends to the end of the field of vision.

White light tubes are divided into two sides from the center of the ceiling.

To the right is a long straight line of light that goes as far as the eye can see.

On the left is a section of horizontal light tubes, one meter long cold light lamps, hanging one every five meters, and extending to the end of the field of vision in the same way.

'.! ! '

Li Chengyi stood stiffly on the spot, slowly looking left and right with his neck stiff.

There are gray and white lime walls on both sides, and the red fire cabinet and the small gray door of the maintenance room are clearly visible.

But there is no one.

Not a single person.

Li Chengyi glanced back quickly.

Behind him is a fairly solid white wall, and the billboard at the bus station just now has long since disappeared.

Dim lights, black paint with blurred parking lines on the ground.

No wind, no sound, only himself.

click.

at this time.

A small maintenance door on the right suddenly heard a small sound.

It seemed to be the sound of the door lock being turned and opened.

From a distance, Li Chengyi saw that he was about 20 meters away from the small door, and he could clearly see the doorknob turning slowly.

The rust on it also fell off slightly with the rotation.

grunt.

Li Chengyi swallowed a trace of saliva unconsciously.

Even if he lived two lifetimes, in the face of danger, he was still just an ordinary person with no power to restrain a chicken.

And now.

click.

Suddenly, the maintenance door slowly opened.

The door opened slowly, revealing a small dark gap.

The gap was illuminated by lights, and it was empty, with nothing in it.

It seemed to be just a maintenance room being used as a utility room.

Li Chengyi still didn't dare to relax. He stared at the crack of the door, not daring to move his eyes.

click.

Suddenly, there was a slight sound behind him!

'! ! ? ’ Li Chengyi was startled suddenly, he didn’t expect that there would be a sound from the wall behind him, so he turned his head and looked back.

There was nothing behind it, it was still a white wall.

Suddenly he reacted, and suddenly turned his head again, looking towards the small maintenance door.

Face! ! !

He saw a huge human face!

At the crack of the door, a giant human face as high as the door was watching him quietly through the gap.

The face is black and white, as if it was hard-cut from an old-fashioned video recorder, without any color tone.

The human face was dull, with a few strands of black hair sparsely on top of his forehead.

He has no body, and his whole head is like a balloon. With a slight squeeze, he squeezed out from the crack of the door.

Li Chengyi stood there blankly, his whole body was numb and unable to move.

He stared at the face and wanted to move, but the skin all over his body seemed to be unconscious, and he couldn't move at all.

Cold sweat slowly seeped from his forehead, temples, and back.

Little spots of blood, red spots, began to emerge from the skin of his legs, and gradually spread upwards.

The nearly two-meter-tall human face slowly floated closer, approaching him.
