Hidden Corners

Watching the car gradually go away, Li Chengyi stood where he was, and he really wanted to catch up, but the meaning in the other party's words made his heart cool down as well.

The man's friend and son seemed to have died at a dead end.

The world seems peaceful, but dangers like dead ends seem to be everywhere.

And what did the man's last sentence mean?

Why did the police lose the last glimmer of hope?

Li Chengyi's mind turned many, many times. But have no idea.

He picked up his phone and kept searching for information about the blind spot.

The sky gradually dimmed, and the roadside street lamps slowly lit up yellow.

Some students started out for a walk in twos and threes with their hands in their hands.

The shops on both sides of the street turned on their lights one after another, and the halos of various colors reflected the boundary of this area extremely brightly.

Li Chengyi has been standing in place, frantically searching for information about the blind spot.

But nothing.

All the information seems to have been banned and deleted, leaving only some simple disappearance cases circulating on the Internet.

He put down his phone in disappointment and looked up at the sky.

In the sky, a full moon the size of a washbasin was quietly hanging in the center, silently.

'There must be a way.'

Li Chengyi looked back at the coffee shop, did not go back, but put away his mobile phone and walked towards the bus stop.

When his trouser legs approached the green belt between the driveway and the sidewalk, a line of clear black writing emerged from the back of his right hand again.

Li Chengyi didn't pay attention, and couldn't see it. He kept thinking about that weird underground garage and that weird huge human face.

Intense pressure and panic filled his whole body. If he hadn't forcibly controlled his body, he might have been trembling with fear.

Go all the way along the green belt.

Li Chengyi's mind was frantically flashing with all kinds of ways, all kinds of ways that might be able to get him out of the blind spot.

He was ready to go back and prepare all kinds of weapons, knives, alcohol ignition, strong chili water, etc. After all, it was better than nothing.

Everything, everything that can help, should be used.

Food and drink should also be prepared, in case you get rid of the monster's face, but you are stuck in a dead corner and can't get out, you need to supplement your diet.

And the tape player, through which he'd probably played music before he got into dead ends.

So when you go back, you must put that away as soon as possible.

in addition

'correct! ’ Suddenly, a flash of lightning flashed in his heart.

'The pattern on the back of my hand! That pattern looks very mysterious, maybe it can give me some help! '

A glimmer of hope quickly rose in Li Chengyi's heart.

He raised his hand, but he couldn't see anything on the back of his hand. The pattern needs to be reflected in the mirror to see it clearly.

He quickly walked to the display window of a clothing store, and looked at the back of his hand through the reflection of the window.

At this time, the handwriting on the back of the hand has disappeared, and the previous black pattern has been restored.

'So, what's the use of this thing? What is the use? '

Looking at the black pattern on the back of his hand, Li Chengyi thought of a way. He turned on the camera of his phone and pointed it at the back of his hand.

Sure enough, on the screen of the phone, the black pattern on the back of the hand was clearly seen.

It was a pattern of clusters of small black flowers.

They seem to be swaying in the wind, and the overall posture is slightly tilted. It was like a black flame burning, beating and deep.

'Perhaps there is a trick? ’ Li Chengyi looked at the black pattern and stretched out his hand to stroke it carefully, but his fingertips couldn’t feel it at all, as if the pattern didn’t exist.

'I can't wait anymore, the more time is dragged on, the less time, go prepare other things first! '

Not knowing what the pattern could be used for, Li Chengyi quickly turned around and trotted towards the bus stop.

He needs to prepare everything he needs as quickly as possible.

Even if the middle-aged man said that weapons are useless, but he was just a stranger, so he couldn't believe everything he said.

Without the slightest delay, he got into the car, this time without any mistakes, and before it was completely dark, he returned to the entrance of his happy community.

Instead of going back, he walked along the road outside the community to a chain supermarket on the side of the road, and began to buy food with a long shelf life.

Compressed biscuits, dried meat, bottled water, I bought a big bag full.

In addition, I bought a folding fruit knife, a pointed kitchen knife for cutting meat, several windproof lighters, filter masks, etc.

Under the threat of his life, Li Chengyi broke out with 1000% execution ability, and completed all the preparations in only half an hour.

Then I started to check for gaps with my mobile phone.

Finally, I added a small first aid kit, which I bought at a small pharmacy next to the supermarket.

Everything is ready.

The time also came to seven forty in the evening.

Carrying big bags and small bags, Li Chengyi entered the community and looked at the windows on the fifth floor of his house. There was no light.

Only then did he quickly enter the corridor and press the elevator up button.

While waiting for the elevator to come down, he was still thinking about the purpose of the black pattern on the back of his right hand.

‘Before me, there are definitely people who have made the same preparations as me. If such an ordinary and simple preparation can get through the dead end, then those people on the Internet will not be so pessimistic. so.'

Li Chengyi had a feeling in his heart that his real hope of surviving might lie in the pattern on the back of his hand.

But how to discover the function of this pattern, he has no idea at all.

Ding.

The elevator goes to the first floor.

The door slowly opened, revealing a somewhat dark and old space inside.

Li Chengyi was about to go in, when he suddenly saw the faint dim light, he stopped in his footsteps, and felt a little trembling in his heart.

He paused for a while, but finally retracted his legs, turned around and chose to rush up the stairwell with his things.

He rushed up to the fourth floor in one breath. Fortunately, he often runs and exercises. Otherwise, carrying more than ten kilograms of things and rushing up to the fourth floor at such a fast speed, most people would be out of breath.

Take the key to open the door, and there is no one at home.

In the three-bedroom house, it was dark, only a little moonlight projected from the living room window and the lights from the opposite house.

call.

Li Chengyi exhaled deeply, put the big bag containing things on the living room floor, changed his shoes and entered the door.

As soon as he entered the door, he noticed that there were faintly dirty footprints on the floor.

Someone had obviously entered the house without changing their shoes.

'Is it Li Chengjiu's guest? ’ he guessed.

He found a place to sit down, took a sip of water, picked up his phone again, and used the camera function to carefully study the pattern on the back of his right hand.

'Perhaps a spell is needed? '

He started chaotically trying to chant to the patterns.

What about Ali Baba, open sesame, and all kinds of incantations, but the range is too big and too wide, and there is no response at all.

‘Maybe you need to recognize the Lord with a drop of blood? ’ All kinds of novel thinking in the previous life have affected Li Chengyi’s thinking.

He gritted his teeth, took a small knife from the kitchen, and lightly pricked the tip of a finger, dripping a drop of blood on the black pattern.

Unfortunately it still doesn't work.

‘Is it possible to use a pen to trace and draw? ’ He had another whim.

I first found a piece of white paper and began to draw the pattern carefully with a pencil.

It's a pity that his technique is too bad. After drawing for a long time, he only drew a paste-like children's painting.

Still no response.

After working for a while, the time gradually pointed to half past eight.

A slight sleepiness began to flood Li Chengyi's heart.

He immediately became alert.

The previous two times, when he entered the blind spot, he first felt a burst of sleepiness, but now it came again, could it be the third time soon? ?

He was tense in his heart, and forced himself to grab the big bag with his hands, for fear that he would not be able to bring it in after leaving him.

‘If I die, will I travel through it again? ’ A strange thought came to me at this moment.

'Those black flowers, I really don't know where they come from, they can do such incredible things'

Li Chengyi sighed in his heart, when the end came, he was strangely less nervous than before.

This is a very strange feeling, as if my mind was emptied all of a sudden, a lot was clarified, and my thoughts became clear quickly.

etc! !

Suddenly a flash of lightning flashed across his heart.

'The pattern is because of the small black flower, and I traveled because I came into contact with the black flower bush.

The major he studied in his predecessor was also related to plant conservation. It's all about plants

So is this pattern also related to plants? '

Once this idea was connected, it quickly occupied all of Li Chengyi's thoughts.

The more he thought about it, the more likely it was.

"You can try it!"

Immediately, he looked around and saw that there were no plants at all in the house.

So carrying the bag, he changed his shoes and rushed out of the house, ran downstairs from the stairwell, and rushed to the gap between the floors of the community in one breath.

Simple oval green belts are built in these gaps.

There are small trees, green grass, and small flowers inside.

The outside is simply surrounded by a fence, and a sign is hung to be careful of trampling on flowers and plants.

But Li Chengyi no longer cared about stepping on it carefully. He turned over and stepped over the fence. When his feet touched the lawn in the green belt, his body reacted quickly.

The black pattern on the back of the right hand quickly twisted and squirmed, turning into a line of clear text.

'Please contact for ten seconds to load and open. '

Li Chengyi picked up the phone camera and looked at the back of his right hand. This time, he clearly saw this line of text.

That was the Chinese character he used the most in his previous life!

'really! ! Sure enough! ! ’ A burst of electric current-like numbness flashed across his scalp.

The countdown also began to continuously appear on the back of his hand.

'six. '

'five. '

'Four. '

'three. '

'two. '

'one. '

swish.

In an instant, all the handwriting disappeared. The black on the back of the hand has once again returned to the previous black pattern.

Lines of intangible information, followed by another mysterious method, were instantly transmitted to Li Chengyi's mind.

'Start successfully. '

hum! !

In an instant, a deep dark fog emerged out of thin air from all directions around it.

The mist submerged and wrapped Li Chengyi's whole body.

It was pitch black all around.

'This is.! ? ’ He was a little at a loss, and he didn’t dare to move when he stood where he was.

Ding.

There was a clear and reverberating sound, like jade hitting a carillon, and it was hard to tell what instrument it was.

In the dark, far away.

A tiny purple light slowly emerged, lit up, and approached.
