Hidden Corners

A series of news seemed to come following a link on a world map opened by Li Chengyi.

And as these messy news information popped up, a lot of macroscopic information about the world as a whole poured out of his mind frantically.

'Well' he put down his phone and gently covered his forehead, and there were bursts of tingling pain on the inside of his forehead.

Massive amounts of data and information memories poured out like a tide and merged into his mind at this time.

With the influx of information, he finally had a comprehensive understanding of the situation of his predecessor.

This is a special era of bipolar hegemony, on the brink of peace and war.

Yi country and Bai Xing, these are the two poles in the struggle for hegemony, the two big countries.

The earth and moon are influenced by a huge empire named Yiguo. In the entire earth and moon, no country can compete with Yiguo.

And the place where he lives at this time is Suiyang City, Yi Country.

Yiguo is a country somewhat similar to Huaguo. The similarities lie in culture, philosophy, and life, but there are also many differences in details.

As for Bai Xing, he didn't know much about his predecessor, after all, it was a real empire on another planet.

All he knew was that Bai Xing's technology was more advanced than that of Earth and Moon, and now he was at an advantage in the struggle for supremacy between the two poles.

And the predecessor himself was just one of the millions of college students in Yi Country.

If he didn't come over, if nothing else happened, his predecessor would lower his status and take jobs with lower income and social status when he couldn't find a good job one after another.

Then slowly improve yourself, look for opportunities, increase income, and then get married and have children, educate and train, and worry about the future of the children, and so on.

Until I finished my ordinary and ordinary life.

But now, although he has memories from his previous life, many things are simply not applicable in another environment. Li Chengyi is somewhat at a loss as to what the future holds, whether he can go back, and what plans he has in the future.

He was still in a strange sense of confusion, as if he had been forced into a harmonious environment.

Apart from these, in Li Chengyi's impression.

In this world, I always feel that there are many places that are a bit strange.

He couldn't tell where it was, but it was just a feeling, compared with his previous life, the feeling he produced was very strange.

After sitting for a while and checking various information, he looked at the time, and it was almost time to go out to school.

The appointment time with the instructor Chen Shan is half an hour later, which is just right when the driving time is counted.

Ding dong.

Suddenly a text message sounded.

Li Chengyi was about to put away his phone when he heard the sound and quickly glanced at the screen.

Text messages automatically appear on the illuminated screen.

‘A friend has a small garden with pests, don’t you major in this field? Come to this address for help. ’—Lin Sang.

Li Chengyi thought about it and replied quickly.

‘What pest, take a picture and see. '

‘You’ll know when someone comes, just treat it as helping me. It's the same people you met this morning, and it's good for you to get on good terms with them, trust me! ’—Lin Sang.

'What's the cost? ’ Li Chengyi asked again.

‘You still have to charge for your friend’s help? Do you want to be so stingy? Come quickly, you must arrive before two o'clock in the afternoon, or don't blame me for turning against you. ’ Lin Sang said in a tone that I have a small temper.

In the past, whenever the three of them had any disputes, as soon as she got angry, the other two would soften up and start trying to coax her.

So every time she uses this trick is very effective.

Li Chengyi glanced at the address she sent. It was about thirty-two kilometers away. It must be too late to take public transportation for this distance, so I had to take a taxi. The taxi fare, plus the required medicine and pest detection card, is several hundred for a round trip.

This is still a relatively easy pest to treat. If it is troublesome, the cost of single medicine will be at least a thousand.

Although he really wants to live according to the habits of his predecessor, and slowly transition into his own habits.

But this is somewhat outrageous. He didn't know those people at all, that is to say, when he helped in the past, he was actually doing favors for Lin Sang.

Let alone whether it is worth it or not, it is that his own memory is still vague and he does not have the ability.

So Li Chengyi resolutely ignored Lin Sang, and then turned off the phone to mute.

Not to mention that he is not the predecessor, even if he is the predecessor, without the blessing of the love filter, Lin Sang's request is a waste of time and energy for him.

Ignoring the vibrations from the phone, he quickly went out, got on the bus at the gate of the community, and rushed all the way to the school in the suburbs.

Suiyang University is a local comprehensive university located in the south of the suburb.

The area is almost equivalent to a small town, with dozens of buildings and buildings arranged in an orderly manner.

When Li Chengyi arrived, it was already more than twenty minutes later.

On the third floor of the school's No. 1 office building, he followed the nameplate to find the fifth office.

The office door was open, and not far from the door stood two young people who were talking, both wearing glasses, one tall and one short, both wearing shirts and trousers, with a refined appearance.

Li Chengyi recognized them as graduate students of his supervisor, Chen Shan. He can also be regarded as his senior brother.

"Rong Qing and Xu Nanhang came to participate in the school's symposium. I am also very happy here, but the extra seats are really not enough. I have a lot more than other professors."

In the office, beside the yellow wooden bookcase, a bald old man with silver-rimmed glasses, a suit and leather shoes, a dark red tie, and a white shirt, was talking in a low voice to a middle-aged woman in front of him.

He is Chen Shan, majoring in plant conservation and Li Chengyi's instructor.

Seeing Li Chengyi enter the door, Chen Shan, the bald man, waved to him, signaling to wait for a while, and then continued talking to the middle-aged woman.

The two seem to be arguing over the quota.

Li Chengyi was bored and didn't know what the instructor wanted him to do. His relationship with Chen Shan was due to the fact that he studied excellent plant conservation courses at school, so Chen Shan appreciated him and recommended him to attend an advanced advanced training related to plant conservation.

Chen Shan also took advantage of the opportunity to become Li Chengyi's mentor.

Originally, both Chen Shan and Li Chengyi's predecessor thought that they would take advantage of the opportunity to take Chen Shan's postgraduate entrance examination.

It's a pity that I didn't expect that Li Chengyi's talent and performance were not enough to continue on.

Later, Li Chengyi gave up. After a big quarrel with his sister, he gave up this major and this course, and chose to graduate directly and get a job.

After Chen Shan talked with the middle-aged woman for a while, the woman snorted unceremoniously, turned around and left with the form.

Chen Shancai took off his glasses tiredly, rubbed his eyes, and looked at Li Chengyi who was sitting on the sofa beside him.

He actually admired Li Chengyi as a disciple.

but now.

He has four students in total, and the other three are his graduate students. Now one is an executive of a large company, and the other has opened a professional logistics company by himself, which is on the rise.

There is another one who stayed at the school and has published several academic papers in top journals, with a bright future.

But only Li Chengyi, the student he had appointed by default, is now...

"Xiaoyi, I checked. Your file hasn't been transferred yet, so you probably haven't found a job yet?" He asked softly.

"No, but I'm looking for it. Don't worry, I already have a connection." Li Chengyi got up and approached. From the eyes of the man in front of him, he faintly saw a trace of regret and helplessness.

The voices of the other two senior brothers chatting faintly came from outside the door behind, as if the last senior sister was also driving there.

"Don't be embarrassed. I don't know your temper yet." Chen Shan whispered. In the master-student relationship, although Li Chengyi is now decadent, he still decided to help out one last time, and he just had a chance.

As he spoke, he opened the second drawer of the desk, took out a locked document, opened the metal lock, and pulled out a brown envelope that had already been wrapped.

‘You can go to this company for a try. This is the letter of introduction I wrote. Their general manager is a former friend of mine. It should be no problem to arrange a job for you. ’ Chen Shan handed the envelope to Li Chengyi.

"Mentor." Li Chengyi was a little stunned, not knowing what to say.

"I have some understanding of the situation in your family. Your sister needs money, and your parents' income is low. Now the factory has started to cut wages, but you have to believe that the difficulties are temporary. If you have no choice, just call me!" Chen said. Shan said seriously.

"I" Li Chengyi was suddenly touched. Although the predecessor is gone, it is really rare to meet such a person who is sincere and kind to me in one's life.

"Remember, don't waste your talent." Chen Shan sighed, patted Li Chengyi on the shoulder, and stuffed the letter into his hand.

Compared with the development of other students, Li Chengyi's situation became more and more difficult under the brilliant conditions.

"Thank you." Li Chengyi stepped back seriously and bowed.

"I will remember."

"Go, go." Chen Shan waved his hand, looking a little lonely.

He lowered his head and picked up a pack of cigarettes from the corner of the table. He took out one and bit it. He was about to find a lighter, but after touching it for a while, he still put it down.

He took down the cigarette again, stopped talking, waved his hand to Li Chengyi again, then turned his back and looked at the pink flower branches outside the window.

Li Chengyi bowed again, turned around and left with the letter.

Walking out of the office, he was about to go downstairs when he turned a corner, and almost bumped into a red-haired girl in a short yellow leather jacket and tight gray trousers head-on.

"Oh, you are...?" The girl paused, seeming to recognize Li Chengyi.

"It's Sister Chen Pi, long time no see." Li Chengyi recognized the identity of the other party. The girl in front of him was Professor Chen Shan's biological daughter Chen Pi. She had been studying abroad before and only recently came back.

At that time, the predecessor was quite familiar with Chen Pi, and he often joked that when he started a company and grew bigger, he would ask Chen Pi to be his secretary.

Now it seems……

"Chen Pi, hurry up, this way." Chen Pi was about to reply when someone called her from the office.

"I will meet with the alumni later in the evening." She smiled and walked away quickly.

Before Li Chengyi could reply, he saw the other party walking away quickly.

The alumni association is for people with some achievements, he is a person who has no job after graduation

He glanced back and saw the three of them came together, the two senior brothers, who looked like successful people, were constantly chatting with Chen Pi intimately.

Such a circle, the predecessor should have been a member of it, but...

Without making another sound, he turned around and walked downstairs.

There were two cars parked downstairs, one black and one white, very crowded.

Li Chengyi looked around, but chose to pass through the gap between the vehicles.

He quickly lowered his head and walked forward for a certain distance. When he was about to pass through the gap, he paused suddenly and stopped in front of the reflectors of the two cars.

'what? '

His eyes were fixed on the mirror in front of him.

In the mirror, on the back of his right hand, there seemed to be a jet black pattern like the roots of vines.

The pattern stretched from the back of the hand to the wrist, as if something was parasitic on the back of the hand and grew roots.

swish.

Li Chengyi raised his right hand and lowered his head to look closer. There was nothing on the back of his hand.

No pattern, not even a scar.

He shifted his gaze to the mirror again.

In the car's mirror, there was a black pattern the size of an egg clearly reflected on his right hand.

But in reality, he waved his hand, and there was nothing on the back of his hand.

Li Chengyi was a little dazed, just now he was still immersed in thinking about his future work and planning for the future.

At this moment, the scene in front of him made him withdraw from reality in an instant, recalling the strange experience of the previous night.

Recalling that dream that was as real as reality.

And now it happens again

‘This, what is it? '

He carefully touched the black pattern in the mirror, but he couldn't feel anything. He could only see that the shape of the pattern seemed to be very similar to the flower bush he saw last before crossing.

That dark, eerie mystery of flowers!
