Hidden Corners

beep! ! !

The sharp sound of car horns pierced the eardrums.

Li Chengyi suddenly woke up from his stiffness. He was standing at the bus platform without changing his position.

An old white bus was constantly honking its horn, urging a passerby in front of it to get out of the way.

The passer-by was an aunt with a sack on her shoulders, crossing the road recklessly, and hurried up to the platform.

The car horn was warning her.

Li Chengyi's eyes were in a trance, and the scene he saw just now seemed to remain in his vision.

That huge human face that keeps approaching.

He is still numb all over his body, and his scalp seems to lose feeling, as if all his hair has fallen out.

"Hoo hoo." Another dream?

He looked around, and he didn't enter the underground garage again, but still stood at the bus station.

The location of this place is marked on the metal road sign on the side.

Andu Road and Tongfeng Road.

The slightly hot air turned into a wind, blowing the aroma of leaves and flowers.

The faint fragrance of flowers made Li Chengyi's consciousness and spirit a little better.

Ding dong, ding dong.

The phone on his body vibrated twice.

The slight vibration was like a life-saving straw, and it instantly pulled Li Chengyi's consciousness back from the confusion.

He quickly took out his phone and turned on the screen.

It's a text message from your parents.

‘Remember not to go home early, your sister told you. Do you still have money? I'll give you another point here. ’——Dad.

'Stay longer at school and go back after dinner. Your sister's business is a big deal, and maybe your work will fall on her in the future. '—Mom.

Li Zhao and Feng Yurong were still the same as before, all the focus was on their sister.

Li Chengyi can actually understand that, after all, the only chance for an ordinary family like theirs to turn around is to cultivate a strong elite.

But now, her sister Li Chengjiu is extremely in line with this expectation.

'knew. ’ He calmed down and replied simply.

Putting away the phone, he still stood where he was, with his chest rising and falling rapidly, thinking about everything that happened just now.

I also recall the sentence I saw on the forum before.

'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. '

'the third time'

If last night was the first time, then it should not be counted as just being at school, after all, it is not the same place, and I didn't go in completely.

But just now.

Did that time just now count as the third time?

Or is it the second time?

Li Chengyi's heart was in a mess.

He didn't know what the blind spot was, or what that human face was, but he just wanted to live.

Inexplicably came to this world, and inexplicably became another person with the same name and surname.

He really doesn't want to die.

I don't want to die so meaninglessly, immersed in fear.

The fear of survival made Li Chengyi's panic more and more serious.

'what do I do! ? '

'Just now...maybe it wasn't a sign, yes, definitely not, after all, maybe I was too sleepy just now and took a nap. '

He kept finding reasons for himself.

Just as he was thinking about it, he suddenly felt a slight pain in his ankles.

Lowering his head, he quickly reached out and rolled up his trouser legs to take a look.

A dense spot of blood was clearly distributed on the ankles of both feet.

Li Chengyi was stunned suddenly.

Pausing for a moment, he quickly got up again, opened his collar, and looked at himself.

Fortunately, there is no blood on the body.

'It was just now! It was just then! '

He suddenly remembered.

When I met that huge human face in that mysterious underground garage just now, I also felt the tingling pain in my feet.

And now.

This stinging pain actually brought reality

‘This is reminding me. Isn’t that a dream? ? '

His chest rose and fell violently, panting quickly, as if a big stone was pressed against his heart, he couldn't breathe.

what to do! ?

what to do! ? ?

Countless complicated thoughts flashed through his mind, but if everything just now was true.

Facing that terrifying huge human face, it was obviously not a normal creature.

He was helpless.

'Perhaps I should call the police? Find state help! ? '

This thought flashed across Li Chengyi's mind.

As soon as this thought arose, it never disappeared, but became more and more intense.

In the face of a danger that is completely unknown, perhaps seeking help from the state apparatus is the best choice.

But suddenly, the crying girl in the coffee shop, the girl in the white sweater, came to his mind.

'Why didn't she call the police? '

A doubt came to mind.

Thinking of this, Li Chengyi couldn't stand anymore, he quickly looked left and right, followed the way he came from just now, and returned to the previous coffee shop.

Running all the way, a deep sense of urgency and danger kept forcing him to move forward and speed up.

He was afraid that the dangerous situation just now would happen again.

If someone can communicate with each other at this time and give him some advice, maybe

Trot all the way back to the location just now - Yesili Cafe.

A small mobile cart has been set up at the entrance of the coffee shop, on which there is a signboard advertisement for the latest coffee products, as well as small cups of new desserts to try.

Li Chengyi pushed the door open and walked around the hall on the first floor. There were more people here.

Most of them were college students, but they couldn't find the girl in the white sweater I saw before.

Everyone had soft faces, some were laughing and talking, some were playing quietly, and some were simply eating and studying with their tablets.

Their lives seemed to be completely isolated from Li Chengyi, as if they belonged to another world.

He couldn't find it on the first floor, so he hurried up to the second floor.

Unfortunately, I still haven't seen the girl in the white sweater before.

Li Chengyi went downstairs with some disappointment, and pushed the door open amidst the soft electronic sound of "Welcome again".

outside the door.

the street.

A white city off-road parked quietly on the side of the road.

The windows had already been rolled down, exposing the driver's face.

It was a middle-aged man who was obviously aged, with thick eyebrows and sharp eyes, with a neat gray beard, a thin face, and his hair was neatly combed back.

He put one hand on the steering wheel of the car, staring blankly at the people passing by outside the car window, as if in a daze.

For some reason, the moment Li Chengyi walked out of the coffee shop, the eyes of the middle-aged man moved quickly to him.

He seemed to be observing something, and he seemed to see something.

Li Chengyi's body tensed slightly, he didn't know why, he didn't know why he was nervous, but his body tensed up for no reason.

Thoughts kept flashing through his mind when he failed to find the two girls from before.

‘The most likely thing to help now is to search for relevant methods online, and to seek official help. '

The complexities in his heart were quickly cleared up, and he sorted out the most likely way to survive.

"If I were you, I wouldn't be wandering around like this anymore."

Suddenly a deep male voice floated from the front.

"Won't you go crazy while you still have time?"

The voice continued.

Li Chengyi raised his head abruptly, followed the prestige, and his eyes met the middle-aged man who was looking at him.

"What do you know?!" He opened his mouth, but found that his voice became a little hoarse and low at some point.

Unconsciously, he moved closer, closer to the white city off-road vehicle.

"You are dying." The middle-aged man said lightly. "The Third Omen is coming. Then you'll be like everyone else, poof."

He clasped his hands together and simulated a sound in his mouth.

"Totally disappeared."

"Is there a way?" Li Chengyi's eyes widened, and he quickly asked in a calm mood that he didn't expect.

"Has anyone ever survived? Can you help me?"

The depression in his heart seemed to have found a breakthrough, a life-saving straw.

If there is someone who knows the inside story, help yourself, maybe you can escape!

Such thoughts quickly surfaced in his mind.

"Me?" The man laughed, turned his head, and looked in front of the car window. "I'm just a loser too. What can a useless person do for you?"

"That place." He turned his head again and looked at Li Chengyi, "No one can help you. The only thing you can rely on is yourself."

"Like my old friends, my son, they're all like that."

As he spoke, he took out a cigarette from the inside pocket of his black suit, lightly lowered his head to light it, and took a puff.

"Come on, don't stay with me, bad luck." He waved at Li Chengyi.

"There must be a way, right? Since you will take the initiative to come here and talk to me, there must be a way, right?" Li Chengyi is not stupid.

The other party was able to see the omens in him, and even took the initiative to talk to him, it was definitely not for no reason.

Since you despise him for being unlucky, why didn't you just keep silent from the start?

"It's a little clever." The man smiled, reached out and flicked the cigarette butt outside the car window.

"In fact, so what if you escape for a while? Anyway, you will die sooner or later, time and time again, without end, without hope in sight."

"The future is the future, but now, I don't want to die!" Li Chengyi stared at him seriously, and answered every word.

"Then why should I help you?" the man asked again.

"Since you found me and took the initiative to talk to me, it means that I must have what you need." Li Chengyi said, "So."

"So." The man interrupted him, "If you can survive the first time, then we will have the possibility of cooperation."

"Okay! How did you survive?" Li Chengyi asked quickly. "Shall I tell you what I've been through?"

"No need!" the man interrupted him again, "It doesn't make sense. Only a specific person can enter the blind spot in a way that only belongs to him. Once he enters, he will automatically approach again and again until he completely devours that person."

"So, how can I survive!?" Li Chengyi continued to ask.

"After entering completely for the third time, find the exit and leave there, and you will be able to survive." The man replied. "But there's no real exit there at all, just like when you enter, you need to find the same special way to find the door to exit."

He pointed to his head.

"You need to think, not use force. There, force, firearms, and the number of people are useless. By the way, I advise you not to call the police, otherwise you may lose your last hope."

"I..." Li Chengyi still wanted to ask, but the other party's car windows had already been rolled up.

The man waved at him through the car window, started the car, and walked away slowly.

It seemed that he was not optimistic about Li Chengyi's survival, and there was a hint of disappointment in his eyes.

Maybe Li Chengyi wasn't the person he was looking for at all.
