Hidden Corners

The town of Mukesa in the dark is completely different from the daytime.

The gloomy moonlight shone down, only illuminating the skin of the house.

The alleys and gaps between them are completely black lines, echoing the dark doors and windows.

Li Chengyi walked towards the house step by step along the route that day.

With the sound of clicking footsteps, he quickly returned to the previous small room on the second floor.

The door of the room was still open, and the inside was still the same, with traces of being burned by the fire.

He glanced at the bed board, but didn't go over.

‘Judging from the previous flashes of memory, Iseline should have hid in this tunnel. '

Li Chengyi recalled the previous scene, took out a flashlight for lighting in his hand, and turned on the light.

There is only a moonlight shining through the window in the bedroom.

The rest don't have any light source.

The moonlight was so weak that it couldn't even compare to a candle, let alone illuminate the surroundings.

The flashlight was turned on, and the bright halo reflected the entire bedroom much more clearly.

Li Chengyi walked to the corner, squatted down, and moved a piece of charred wood.

Suddenly, a charred dog corpse appeared in front of him.

'This should be the big yellow dog. ’ he sighed inwardly.

Gently move the big yellow dog aside, and then brush away the black ash on the ground.

Sure enough, a square stone slab with an iron ring was exposed on the ground.

Stretching out his hand, Li Chengyi took a breath, hooked the ring, and pulled it up.

puff.

The stone slab was lifted, revealing a dark tunnel entrance amidst a cloud of dust.

He took a flashlight and looked inside.

The light just shone in.

A pale baby face came into view.

It was a strange face of a little girl covered in white powder, with a smile on her mouth, wearing white pajamas.

'Lonely doll! ! ? '

Li Chengyi was taken aback by the face so close.

Of course he wasn't afraid, mainly because that face was too close.

It was only a fist away from touching the tip of his mask nose.

He staggered back and sat down on the ground.

Pressing his right hand to the ground, he suddenly felt something was wrong.

He looked down and saw a pair of pale child's feet covered with wounds standing on his right hand.

His hair was standing on end, and he got up and wanted to stay away.

"ah!!!!"

Suddenly, the human face in the tunnel and the child standing beside him screamed at the same time.

The two sharp sound waves made Li Chengyi's whole body icy cold, as if his whole body was thrown into a washing machine and stirred crazily.

A strong sense of vomiting and dizziness welled up in my heart.

"To Lao Tzu"

"Shut up!!!"

He raised his hand violently.

The flying instrument turned into a black light, and flashed past the faces in the tunnel and the children on the side.

Boom! !

Everything is quiet.

Li Chengyi knelt on one knee, sweating profusely, and felt a tingling pain in his ears.

His eyes were a little dizzy, but now he looked into the room again.

The two figures that had just appeared were gone.

Only Feiyi Black Ax was still stuck on the ground.

He exhaled, grabbed the black ax and pulled it out.

The steady stream of brilliant force fields has been recovering his injuries and status. In just a dozen seconds, the snowflakes in front of his eyes slowly dissipated.

Taking a deep breath, he returned to the front of the tunnel.

Without hesitation, he jumped down with a flashlight.

hiss.

Amid the obvious sound of armor rubbing.

After sliding for at least ten meters, he stepped on the ground with both feet.

Slip down from the tunnel into a boxy room that resembles a bedroom on the ground floor.

With a bang, Li Chengyi fell to the ground, splashing a large amount of dust.

The dust also shrouded the light of the flashlight.

After waiting for a while, the dust slowly scattered.

Only then did Li Chengyi raise the flashlight to examine the room carefully.

This is a cube with the same layout as the bedroom above.

Earth-yellow walls, earth-yellow floors, and black ceilings.

The room has a single child's bed, a desk, a small wardrobe, and a closed black iron door.

Li Chengyi took a flashlight and searched all around, but the face in the helmet frowns faintly.

'This place has the same layout as above, but...it doesn't look like a little girl's room. '

He walked to the desk and picked up a small Autobot toy that was lying on the table.

A yellow Autobot with one arm missing and two legs stretched into an X. There is only one of the two antennas on the head.

This is not like the way a little girl likes to play.

Look carefully with a flashlight.

Soon, he found a clue.

In the right corner of the desk, there are a few drops of black marks. It looks like a bloodstain.

Wow.

Li Chengyi opened the drawer under the bloodstain.

Inside is an old-fashioned portable video player. In Li Chengyi's previous life, this thing was called mp4.

In this place, this is called the mv machine.

The player is about the size of an egg, square and black, with most of the screen in the middle.

There is a black border around the edge of the display screen, and there are no buttons. He guessed it should be a touch screen.

'Maybe there's a clue. ’ He put the thing away and put it into the dark compartment of the small space of the flying instrument.

Then continue to search for other clues.

But it's a pity that there is only this one thing on the entire desk. Others are empty, as if for show.

Li Chengyi turned around and looked at the crib again.

The bed was empty.

But under the bed.

There is a touch of the corner of the white nightdress, which is exposed outside.

It can be seen that there must be someone hiding under the bed.

Li Chengyi sighed and approached slowly.

Stretching out his hand, he gently grabbed the nightgown, and then slowly pulled it out.

With a slight hiss.

The skeleton of a little girl was gently pulled out and lay on the side of the crib.

The skeleton covered his eyes with his hands, curled up into a ball, and there was still a thin black hardened film on his body.

Look helpless and pitiful.

It is conceivable that she was blind, and there was no eating or drinking around her, and no one answered her during the last time.

In this room with nothing, only her.

She could only listen to her mother, groping, hiding under the bed, curled up alone, enduring the sharp pain in her eyes, and then until she died.

'If... you are Etherine. So, who was the one I met before? '

Looking at the skeleton in front of him, Li Chengyi sighed, feeling rare in his heart without any sense of tension.

Instead, there was a hint of sadness.

Gently stretching out his hand, he slowly pulled the skeleton's hand away.

Sure enough, I saw black soil embedded in the eye socket.

Standing up, he checked the entire room one last time. Li Chengyi made sure that no details were missed.

He just stood in front of the only iron door.

He stretched out his hand to hold the doorknob, and with the other hand held the golden sword, and swiped hard.

chi chi.

With two crisp sounds, the place where the door was locked was cut off.

He pulled hard.

The entire door suddenly made a harsh friction sound, and was forcibly pulled open.

Outside the door is a small tunnel, not long, only about three meters, leading to a square stone slab.

Li Chengyi took a flashlight and took a photo to make sure that there was no problem, so he climbed in carefully step by step.

This passage is very short and narrow. After wearing the armor, he is very big, so he can only move forward on his stomach. Otherwise you will hit your head on the top of the dirt.

Snapped.

After climbing a few times, he suddenly felt his right foot tighten, as if something was pulling him.

Li Chengyi quickly looked back.

At the door of the basement bedroom, a pale little girl's face was smiling up at him.

His foot was being firmly grasped by a scorched black hand.

Looking at the strange face of that fiasco, Li Chengyi's heart shuddered.

About to start.

Suddenly the little girl let go of her hand.

She just smiled and looked at Li Chengyi.

Then a little bit back, back.

Backed into deep darkness.

Completely disappeared.

Inexplicably, Li Chengyi looked at the place where she disappeared, and suddenly felt a strong sense of loneliness in his heart.

This seems to be the feeling conveyed by the other party.

In his mind, he inexplicably flashed through the clues he found before and the information he had read.

Without stopping, he quickly climbed under the stone slab, bumped his elbow, and knocked the slate away abruptly.

Get out of the small exit.

Only then did he realize that he was surrounded by the earthen walls of Mukesha Town.

'An escape route to the outside of the wall! '

He knew it.

Without staying any longer, Li Chengyi looked around, and the people from Blue Deer hadn't arrived yet.

The surrounding area was still silent.

There is no satellite monitoring here, and there is no sky eye system covering the surrounding area.

You can completely ignore the possible monitoring.

Standing up, he carefully lifted the flying instrument, which contained the mv machine he found just now, which most likely contained important information.

Recalling the entire exploration process, Li Chengyi could vaguely feel that there seemed to be a clue running through the town of Mukesha.

However, due to incomplete data, it cannot be determined for the time being.

'I have to go back. '

After killing so many people in Blue Deer, the other party must have noticed it and sent someone here.

He is unwilling to have a violent conflict with the other party, at least here, it is not suitable.

But he just killed dozens of people on the other side. It shouldn't be a big problem.

Looking around, Li Chengyi didn't immediately return to the way he came from, but ran in another direction and left.

He needs to detour, and then use the hidden solo flight equipment to lift into the air to erase the footprints.

Although it won't take long for the wind and sand to completely disappear the footprints.

But it may take even less time for the other side to catch up.

After some careful operation, half an hour later.

In the airport hotel room.

Li Chengyi took out the phone from the hotel drawer again, opened it to check the information.

There are four missed calls.

There is also a lot of information in the cucumber night chat, with 99+ information.

He felt awe-inspiring, knowing that it must be Skittle Candy and they had found the clue.

Quickly click on it.

"Things are bad, I'm being attacked." - Skittles.

"Me too! I was sniped." - Dahei.

"Xiao Zong and I have brought medical kits!" - Gantry Crane.

"There are too many of them. We have to find a way to avoid them first." - Big Bear.

"Let's get together and try to get out!" - Skittles.

When Li Chengyi saw this, his heart tightened.

In an instant, he thought of the utopia organization that he had offended. Among all the troubles, only utopia can have such a great energy, which can make Rainbow Candy and the others so embarrassed.

He typed quickly and was about to send.
