Hidden Corners

The days of broken hands are boring.

You can't do this, you can't do that, and you have to stop practicing martial arts.

Although Li Chengyi was using the radiant force field to speed up his healing, it was impossible for him to heal within a few days.

He was only half healed in three days, and it would take five days to fully recover.

In order not to waste time.

He began to continue to study the notes he had obtained from Zhong Hui in the ward: the exploration and recording of the clock field.

He had read this notebook to some extent before, but he didn't read it carefully, only skimmed it roughly.

This time, he read Zhong Hui Zengjin's record about the quiet shop again.

A foreigner named Ghosn found him and warned him not to enter again, otherwise there would be unpredictable consequences.

Zhong Hui probably followed the advice in the end and chose to take the goods and leave.

Otherwise, other dead-end information later will not be recorded in such detail.

but.

'What is the essence of man? '

After the page of Zhong Hui's self-portrait, the following sentence still made Li Chengyi think at this moment.

night time.

He was alone in the white ward, sitting on the bed and flipping through his notebook.

Boom boom boom.

Suddenly someone knocked on the door lightly.

The voice is not loud, the strength is neither light nor heavy, giving people a very polite and restrained feeling.

"Please come in." Li Chengyi said. Put the notebook in your hand under one side of the pillow, then look up towards the door.

It was already past eleven o'clock at night.

The nurse on duty came only half an hour ago, and now she has gone to rest for a shift change.

It stands to reason that no one should come.

Li Chengyi looked towards the door.

But nothing happened.

Even though the door was unlocked, he said please come in, but the other party still didn't move.

"Come in." He raised his voice again and said something.

In the quiet ward, only his voice echoed slightly.

Still not moving.

The people outside the door still didn't seem to hear it.

Or, hear it, but don't move.

Li Chengyi frowned a little.

The body is quietly covered with invisible wisteria scale clothes.

Titan Sunflower has also undergone a second evolution, which can cover the whole body of clothes and fuse with it, but because it has reached the ultimate body form, as long as it is worn, everything around it will be ignited by the high-temperature force field without distinction.

Therefore, except at critical moments, he generally would not use Titan Sunflower casually.

Although the wisteria flower scale clothing was broken and its defense power dropped, it was still more reliable and comprehensive than the bulletproof vest.

Ordinary bullets can not break.

After waiting for a few seconds, Li Chengyi found that there was still no response, so he slowly got up and got out of bed.

The door of the ward is rectangular with a square viewing window.

From the viewing window he could see the brim of a gray wide-brimmed hat showing to the right of the window.

There seemed to be a man of medium build, about the height of the viewing window, wearing a gray wide-brimmed hat, standing in front of the door, knocking quietly.

"Who's out there?"

Li Chengyi walked slowly towards the door.

He rarely stayed in the hospital, but he knew that doctors and nurses would never dress like this.

Therefore, there must be an outsider outside the door, and the outsider stands at the door, but does not come in.

His vigilance increased immediately.

slowly.

Li Chengyi walked to the door step by step.

reach out.

Hold the doorknob.

"You can't"

At this time, a murmured voice came from outside the door.

It was a man with a weird crying tone in his voice. He also spoke Yi Guo language, but inexplicably, he could hear the strong panic in it.

"You can't do this anymore, you can't go in again." Through a door, the man's indistinct voice reached Li Chengyi's ears.

"Where do you go in? Who are you? Can you come in and tell me? Can you explain clearly?" Li Chengyi asked in a deep voice.

"Don't go in again. Absolutely, never again"

call.

Suddenly a breeze blew from behind Li Chengyi.

His heart trembled, he remembered that there was no window in the ward.

He turned his head sharply to look back.

Li Chengyi found that beside the hospital bed, the window that was closed tightly before had been opened for some reason.

The cool night wind blows in from outside.

But at this moment, all he felt was a chill.

The brilliant force field quietly expanded unconsciously, covering the entire ward in an instant.

The brilliant force field with purification ability gave Li Chengyi a lot of psychological comfort.

He turned his head, looked towards the door and looked out the window.

The brim of the hat was gone.

click.

He unscrewed the door, and outside was a quiet white corridor.

And at the foot of the door, there was a brown wrapped envelope.

Li Chengyi bent down to pick up the envelope, closed the door and went back to his room.

He wasn't worried about toxicity or anything. In the protective state, his whole body and even his breathing were isolated from the outside world.

Hualinyi can even provide oxygen alone, allowing him to be self-sufficient and isolated from the outside world.

Holding the letter, he flipped through it a little.

The zip code in the upper left corner of the yellow envelope was blacked out.

There is no address in the middle, only two words: Ghosn.

Other than that, there is nothing else, it's all blank.

'Ghosn.'

Li Chengyi immediately thought of the mysterious person mentioned in Zhong Hui's notes.

The mysterious foreigner who had come to warn him that he could no longer enter the quiet shop.

Later, Zhong Hui disappeared because of a blood change, and his wife cloned a new one to live in place of him.

But everyone knew that the real Zhong Hui had disappeared.

Li Chengyi doesn't know how this Ghosn found himself. I don't know what he meant.

‘Perhaps, the root of everything is hidden in this letter.’

He looked at the letter and took a deep breath.

hiss.

Tear open one end of the envelope.

He shook the inner cavity, and a piece of white paper folded in an irregular shape fell out from it.

Unfold the white paper.

It was written crookedly in Yi script.

'Your body is undergoing a mutation. '

‘Whether you change blood or not, you will gradually undergo irreversible changes as you enter and leave that small shop more times. '

'Something's after you. They're human-like but only human-like. They're not human! '

'Be careful. Be careful around you they're coming! ! ! '

The last line was written very hard. The letter paper was punctured with cuts.

Li Chengyi could feel that the emotional state of the person who wrote the letter was very bad.

The entire content of the letter is here.

He flipped it back and forth to make sure there was nothing else, then refolded the letter paper and stuffed it back into the envelope.

"They're here? What are they? Are they people? Or are they monsters in the corner?"

Li Chengyi frowned.

This Ghosn was mysterious and refused to speak clearly.

I don't know what the idea was.

But no matter what, the other party did not take any action other than the reminder, which may be regarded as good intentions.

Once, Zhong Hui also met this Ghosn after entering the quiet shop.

Apparently he has a way of paying attention to people who enter the quiet shop.

The blind spot suddenly affected his reality.

This made Li Chengyi's tense state even tighter.

'It seems that we have to leave the quiet shop as soon as possible. '

On the night of the 15th.

On the old street that first entered the quiet little shop.

Li Chengyi was wearing a black windbreaker and a black knitted hat, which covered the entire head and most of the face, only showing a pair of eyes.

He slowly paced back and forth on the old street, waiting for the flash to arrive.

On the adjacent street where KTVs gather in bars, the sound of music and crowd shouts floated from a distance.

Appears to be arguing, or intoxicated.

The temperature is getting colder in winter.

Li Chengyi tightened his windbreaker, lowered his head and walked slowly along the sidewalk.

The left hand has fully recovered.

It took only five days in total, and only half of the powerful nutrient solution given by Big Bear was used.

The examining doctors all looked at him as they would look at a strengthened person.

Everyone thought that he had at least dozens of injections of strengthening injections.

But only Li Chengyi knew that he had only drank the enhanced genetic medicine so far.

That's what I drank when I was at the brain math center.

Slap.

Tiny raindrops fell from the night sky.

Li Chengyi looked up at the sky, it was a gray and dark sky, no clouds, no white stars and the moon could be seen.

Only a chaotic gray-black.

The ground gradually became wet with more and more raindrops.

He straightened his hat and unfolded the radiant force field.

The raindrops just fell on the head and shoulders, and they were quickly dried and evaporated by the heat.

while walking.

Passing by a 24-hour self-service bank on the left, blue and white lights are projected from the glass automatic doors of the self-service bank.

The light shone on the blind road outside and on Li Chengyi himself, as if coated with a blue-white film.

A chocolate-skinned girl with hair dyed light blonde, wearing crystal earrings, and a creamy white low-cut miniskirt staggered out of the self-service bank.

Holding on to the red fire hydrant at the door, she bent down and began to vomit.

Li Chengyi was not surprised either. There are many bars nearby, and such situations can often be seen.

Withdrawing his gaze, he continued on.

After turning a bend, the left side of the road ahead is a black and white grid wall.

On the top of the wall, there are dark green plants emerging from the inside.

Through the green plants, you can see that there are single-family villas inside the wall.

Pass the iron gate of a villa.

In front of the door is a round nameplate that is as bright as a mirror in silver.

It has the owner's zip code, house number, etc. written on it.

Listening to the faint sound of the TV program coming from the house.

Li Chengyi calculated the distance, turned around, and returned to the way he came from.

The place where the Silent Shop happened was just that block, so he couldn't be too far away from there.

Walk slowly.

not for a while.

He went back to the front of the self-service bank just now.

The vomited chocolate girl was accompanied by a young girl with dark hair and slim, who was helping her to sit on the steps of the bank door to shelter from the rain.

Li Chengyi's footsteps slowed slightly, and he recognized the black-haired girl.

Zhou Xingtong.

Chen Pi was introduced to his roommates before.

She was wearing a black long-sleeved T-shirt with the words "Dudu Milk Tea" printed on the back in white, and she was talking to the chocolate girl in a low voice.

Her slender waist and long legs were completely covered under the loose overalls, and she also wore a pair of large black-rimmed glasses on her face. She didn't wear much makeup, and she looked a lot more haggard than before.

Li Chengyi did not expect to meet an acquaintance at this time.

Although we rarely meet each other, occasionally the other party will like him under his circle of friends.

After thinking about it, he still didn't say hello to the other party. At this time, it's not the time to chat.

The danger of Quiet Shop has greatly increased, and he must be prepared to deal with it with all his strength.

All the flower scale clothes have been repaired, and Rainbow Candy's life clothes have also been borrowed.

A stimulant for short-term use of medicines needed for first aid, and a directional blasting explosive package with a simple structure.

These are carefully prepared for him by Big Bear and Skittles.
