Hidden Corners

Li Chengyi stood in front of the counter, his nerves tensed to the extreme.

His five senses are always aware of everything around him.

The lamp emits a slight current sound.

There was a subtle smell of paper shells in the air.

One of his hands held the golden sword, and the other held the powerful pistol seized from Meng Dongdong earlier.

Nothing happened.

Li Chengyi stood where he was and didn't notice any movement.

'What does this sentence mean? '

He tried his best to slow down his breathing, and his eyes kept scanning several points that he thought were dangerous.

One is a small, concealed door behind the counter.

One is the glass door for entering and exiting the small shop.

Finally a few shelves to his left.

Li Chengyi's eyes under the helmet quickly scanned every corner and detail.

Cigarette and wine rack behind the counter.

Small blue plastic trash basket at the door.

A cash register computer with a black screen.

None responded.

'What the hell is ten minutes? '

Snapped.

Snapped.

Snapped.

Suddenly, the sound of small footsteps came from between the shelves.

The sound is not loud, even weak.

But in the ears of Li Chengyi, who was highly concentrated at this time, it was as clear as the only light source in the dark.

He turned his head to the left, focusing his gaze.

At the edge of the innermost refrigerated shelf, a pair of feet are slowly showing through the gap at the bottom.

A pair of pale, dirty, bruised and cracked feet.

From Li Chengyi's perspective, he could only see a pair of child-sized feet.

The products above the ankles are blocked by the goods on the shelves, and only a little white clothes can be vaguely seen through the gaps of the hanging products.

The clothes were also dirty and torn.

Li Chengyi stood where he was, not moving.

All the nerves in his mind were frantically warning.

Danger! Danger! Danger! !

A strong premonition kept stirring in his mind.

It was the instinctive impulse of the body to run away, to turn around and leave.

But at this moment, he knew that turning around and running away was the most stupid act. That is tantamount to completely giving up all of one's resistance and evasion, and exposing the most deadly vital point to others.

For a moment, he stared at the child behind the shelf.

The child also stood still, quietly facing him and watching him across the shelf.

Although he couldn't see the other party's face, Li Chengyi could clearly feel that the other party was looking at him.

Time passed little by little.

The second hand of the wall clock on the wall keeps moving one after another.

After half a minute.

The child's feet finally started to move.

He lifted his foot and walked gently out of the shelf.

Something weird happened!

With both feet clearly in front of Li Chengyi, the child came out from the back of the shelf.

But beside the shelf, he couldn't see anyone at all.

Those feet disappeared inexplicably after walking out of the shelf.

It's like walking into another space.

Li Chengyi's eyes were wide open. At this moment, even though he was wearing a sword orchid scale dress, he still felt a piercing chill rising continuously. The hairs all over his body stood on end, and he felt cold sweat seeping out quickly, condensing into threads, and continuously sliding down from his back and cheeks.

A few seconds later, the child's feet could not be seen in the gap under the shelf.

He seems to have come out.

But from Li Chengyi's side, there was nothing on the open space beside the shelves.

Not to mention human feet, there is not even a single footprint.

'Where did you go! ! ? '

Li Chengyi's whole body was tense, his scalp was numb, and he scanned his surroundings with high vigilance.

puff!

Suddenly, he groaned and turned back.

In the middle of his back, there was an inexplicable gap suddenly.

The cut tore through the Hualinyi, and also tore through the bulletproof vest inside, leaving a dark red wound on Li Chengyi's flesh.

Blood slowly oozes from the wound, bright red and stinging.

Li Chengyi endured the pain, turned around and slashed behind him with a sword.

But nothing was found.

There was nothing behind him, just an empty counter.

laugh!

There was another soft sound, and his left arm was also cut.

The Hualinyi and the bulletproof vest were cut open, and blood dripped down the forearm quickly.

This time he felt that what pierced him was something cold and hard, even smooth.

Without the slightest hesitation.

Holding the sword in both hands, he suddenly spun around.

The two golden swords brought out a circle of sword arcs in an instant.

The extremely sharp blade cut all angles of 360 degrees around in one second.

Considering that the opponent might be a child, Li Chengyi specially rotated and cut slightly downward.

But to no avail.

The golden sword didn't touch anything, it just made a sound piercing the air in mid-air.

puff.

Another little blood splattered, and Li Chengyi had an extra gash on his left leg. The wound was not deep, and it seemed that most of his strength was consumed due to the blocking of Hualinyi.

Li Chengyi quickly realized that he seemed unable to repel this unknown danger.

Immediately, he took a sudden step, regardless of the wounds on his legs and feet, and rushed towards the depths of the supermarket.

‘Since you can’t block it, then run first! dodge! '

Li Chengyi's current body has been strengthened in a disguised form by Hualinyi, and he has been exercising continuously, which has greatly improved.

Wearing a flower-scale garment, even if it is not the wisteria flower-scale garment with the largest increase, it can far surpass ordinary people.

At a distance of more than three meters, he rushed over in one step, then rushed between the shelves, bowing to hide himself.

clap clap.

Just then, he heard footsteps behind him.

The voice came from far to near, quickly chasing after him.

Li Chengyi's heart skipped a beat, and he ran to the corner, lowered his head and looked back through the gap at the bottom of the shelf.

really.

He saw a pair of pale children's feet, chasing this way along the route he ran over just now.

'It is only through the shelves that you can see each other! ? ’ Li Chengyi quickly concluded in his mind, fixed his eyes on the pair of children’s feet, and seeing that the other party was approaching, he immediately circled around and pulled the distance away from the opposite direction.

clap clap.

The child's feet speeded up, but the fastest was the speed of ordinary people, and he couldn't catch up with Li Chengyi at all.

This made him feel slightly certain, knowing that he had found a way.

‘Is it possible that the so-called ten minutes is to avoid the pursuit of this thing and persist for ten minutes? '

While dodging, he thought about the meaning of the handwriting just now.

Time passed little by little.

The second hand of the wall clock on the wall kept turning little by little, pushing the minute hand forward.

Just when Li Chengyi went around the bend and concentrated on avoiding the child's feet.

Behind him, under another shelf, a new pair of children's feet walked slowly.

Those feet were slightly smaller, also dirty, pale skin, with scars and cracks, like fragile porcelain, and there were black and gray stains in some places.

Unlike the first pair of children's feet, this pair of children's feet are wearing pink girls' leather shoes, showing the instep and ankle.

It moved silently, approaching Li Chengyi quietly from behind.

At this time, Li Chengyi was concentrating on dodging and moving with the first pair of children's feet, not noticing that there was another danger behind him.

slowly.

slowly.

The second pair of children's feet were getting closer and closer to Li Chengyi.

five meters.

three meters.

two meters.

Li Chengyi seemed to have noticed something and looked back.

At this moment, the girl lifted her feet out of thin air, lifted them up, and disappeared into the gap at the bottom of the shelf, avoiding her sight.

Li Chengyi didn't see anything, so he could only retract quickly and continue to stare at the first pair of children's feet in front of him.

And just after he looked away, the girl's feet in small leather shoes fell silently again, stepping on the ground.

After a pause, the girl continued to approach Li Chengyi with her feet.

At the same time, a pale, slender hand full of cracks was quietly reaching out from the shelf and grabbing at the back of Li Chengyi's head.

Slowly, getting closer... getting closer...

When it was only half a meter away from him.

call.

The little hand accelerated suddenly, and without any cover-up, it grabbed the back of Li Chengyi's head fiercely.

"Death!" a roar.

Li Chengyi suddenly turned around, drew his sword, and slashed with all his strength.

woo woo!!!

The huge force accompanied the sharp blade to cut the air, and issued a thin scream.

Time seemed to stand still at this moment.

The twin swords in his hands reflected a faint golden light under the light.

'Flower language: the hand of intoxication. '

Purple light flashed across the sword.

Swish! !

The two blades rotate flat, the tips forming a golden ring.

The golden and purple light rotated at the same time, and two bands of purple-gold light came out along with the blade.

Swish Swish Swish!

Li Chengyi's eyes were cold, and he spun on the spot at a high speed. His two swords carried the intoxicating hands of flowers, and quickly covered everything within two meters around him.

At this time, the intoxicated hand can no longer be called a hand, but should be called a sword!

Intoxicated Sword!

laugh! ! !

Circles of sword blades slashed across the void, and chopped on the pale, cracked girl's arm.

They also chopped on the goods on the shelves on both sides, and the shelves of goods were chopped into pieces and scattered all over the place.

As if feeling something, Li Chengyi fitted himself forward and jumped straight in the direction of the first pair of children's feet!

Boom!

His body smashed the goods on the shelf, and the golden sword light flashed in the air, and with the intoxicated hand that had released the first stage, it suddenly slashed across the first pair of children's feet.

After the sword light passed by.

Li Chengyi let go, didn't look at the golden sword, rolled away sideways, half kneeling on the ground.

The two golden swords fell to the ground and collapsed, turning into countless gladiolus petals and dissipating.

He covered his right shoulder with one hand, where there was a blood oozing deeply.

Without stopping, he got up again, using his heels to turn around.

Swish!

With both hands, he drew the longest golden sword from the sword wheel behind his back.

This time, with all his strength, he held the sword in both hands and launched the flower language.

The golden sword, which was nearly three meters long, swung a wide fan in mid-air. After slashing across something, it launched a flower language and slammed into a wall on one side.

Boom.

The golden sword collapsed, and similarly, the two pairs of children's feet were controlled by Huayu's intoxicated hand for the second time, rushing towards the wall.

Li Chengyi stood there with a grim expression on his face, once again drew out the new golden sword behind his back, activated the language of flowers, and slashed. Repeat what you just did.

Wisteria flower's flower language ability, the intoxicating hand, could have been used repeatedly on a target, which he had tested before.

During the previous incident in the Grius parking lot, he tested that the hand of intoxication also has an effect on supernatural beings.

So just now he pretended not to see the second pair of children's feet, but lured them closer, and then suddenly used the sword of intoxication that merged with flower language to stick the two children's feet together.

Then when they didn't break free from Huayu, he fixed them to the wall with a long golden sword.

The defensive ability of the gladiolus flower scale clothes stretches the hips, and the wisteria flower scale clothes have not been repaired for the time being. What he can do is to use the existing flower language to the greatest extent to delay time.
