Hidden Corners

Chapter 198: Chapter 198

Yunshan County · Three o'clock in the morning.

A residential area located in the suburbs.

Yingdong Community, Room 202, 2nd Floor, Unit 3, Building 11.

The ten-year-old boy was curled up in the quilt alone, breathing evenly, and half of his face was covered by the thin quilt with black and white stripes.

He slept soundly.

From the gap in the curtains, a light from a distant floor was projected.

The light falls on the surface of the quilt on him.

It became more and more quiet and peaceful.

Boom, boom, boom.

suddenly.

In the dead of night, in the bedroom where there are no cars or cats and dogs barking.

The door was knocked lightly.

The boy didn't wake up, but frowned slightly, turned over and continued to sleep.

Boom, boom, boom.

The knock on the door rang again.

In this extremely quiet late-night environment, the sound is extremely clear.

This time, the boy slowly opened his eyes. He turned around in a daze and looked around.

Boom, boom, boom.

For the third time, the knock on the door sounded again.

"Dad? Mom?" The boy heard it clearly this time.

He slowly propped himself up on his hands and half sat up from the bed. Thought it was his parents calling him.

Get out of bed and put on slippers.

The boy walked to the door.

Boom, boom, boom.

This time, the door was knocked again.

The sound is clear and rhythmic.

The boy reached out, grabbed the doorknob, twisted it gently, and pulled it open.

outside the door.

Not dad, not mom.

It was a person whose whole body was wrapped in a thick black coat.

Coat, hat, scarf, this man even wears gloves, glasses, all his skin is wrapped in clothes.

This man was about 1.8 meters tall, and even his face, except for his glasses, was covered with black cloth.

He lowered his head and looked at the boy who looked up.

He put his finger up in front of his mouth in a shush gesture.

The boy blinked and looked at him. Inexplicably calm. It was as if he knew the strangely dressed man in front of him.

"Come on," said the strange man with a voice.

Then turned around and walked towards the door of the living room.

The boy paused, then walked out quietly, and walked to the living room door with the weirdo.

The two opened the door one after the other, and walked into the dark stairwell.

Gradually disappear into the depths of the night.

the next day.

Yunshan County, at the intersection of the expressway.

A silver minibus was coming down the highway, gradually slowing down to pass the toll booth.

The side of the bus is written in black paint: Mingyuan.

This is a public bus purchased by Mingyuan Company.

inside the car.

Li Chengyi and others, who had already returned to normal, were sitting in their seats.

Someone was in a daze, watching the roadside scenery outside through the car window.

Someone is swiping their phone.

Others dozed off and snored.

The driver's seat is empty, and the car is completely autonomous, controlled by Skittles' AI Rose.

"Huh?" Skittle Candy, who was swiping her phone suddenly, made a surprised sound.

"Everyone wake up." She raised her voice.

"What's wrong?" Big Bear withdrew his gaze from the window.

Xiao Brown lightly patted Longmen Hang who was soundly asleep, and looked at Skittles.

Li Chengyi was also closing his eyes and resting his mind. When he heard the voice, he opened his eyes and looked this way.

"What's wrong? Tangtang?"

Seeing that everyone's attention was coming, Skittles raised her phone and shook it.

"I shared it in the group, let's take a look. This is new news. It probably started when we left Yunshan County last time."

Several people immediately took out their mobile phones, and some put on ARs to check the situation.

In the small group shared, there is already an extra news quick read at this time.

Click to open Quick Read, and it will automatically jump to another linked web page.

Li Chengyi clicked on the webpage.

At first glance, I saw the big title above, written in red.

'There have been cases of children mysteriously disappearing in the middle of the night in Yunshan County'

The following is the specific content.

'The new director of the Security Department has fully mobilized all police officers, distributed surveillance from all over the place, and pursued the murderer with all his strength! Traces of gang crimes have been found. '

Below are the photos, names, and missing time of each missing child.

All in a row.

There are also pictures of family members and parents at the gate of the security department, holding signs urging the investigation to be done as soon as possible.

"I carefully checked the surveillance of several of the children before they disappeared. Their parents have the habit of installing surveillance cameras facing their children's beds for the safety of their children." Skittle Candy said solemnly from the side.

"I'll share it with you."

Soon, three more video files were shared in everyone's mobile phone group.

Li Chengyi clicked on the first one.

A little boy with yellow curly hair, wearing white pajamas, suddenly sat up in the middle of the night.

"Who is it?"

he asks.

But he was the only voice in the room.

Quiet and eerie.

"Daddy?" the boy asked again.

Then, seeing him in the surveillance, turned over and got out of bed, put on his shoes, left the surveillance range, and walked to the door of the room.

Then came the sound of the door opening.

He walked out.

Then nothing happened.

The video stops abruptly.

Li Chengyi watched the other two videos one after another, and they were all similar.

All of a sudden, the child woke up in the middle of the night, then got up and got out of bed, opened the door, and left.

"There must be something that attracted them to wake up and open the door." Skittle Candy said in a deep voice, "That thing is likely to be a sound, a sound that cannot be recorded by surveillance. It may also be a sound that we cannot hear.

I have technically analyzed the three videos and found no traces in other sonic frequencies.

So my inclination is to monitor sounds that cannot be recorded. "

"It may also be some kind of spiritual suggestion, halo changes, symbol changes, all of which can do this." Daxiong added, "Medical hypnosis classification, there are powerful psychologists who can do this. Using the child's familiar relatives, coupled with the family environment that has just woken up, is familiar without raising vigilance. The hypnotist can easily succeed."

"Is hypnotism so powerful?" Little Brown asked.

"There are many prerequisites. It's not that easy. But if you combine technological means, camouflage, and cooperation, it will be very troublesome." Big Bear explained.

"What about the time? Have you noticed the time?" Rainbow Candy said.

"Yes, the timing is too coincidental." Li Chengyi nodded, "I mentioned before that the entire Yunshan County may be a large dead end. Under such a premise, Yunshan County may have certain specialties in reality."

"The degree of coincidence of time makes me feel that these disappearances are caused by the sequelae of taking away and using the book of wishing from the blue book before?" Skittle Candy frowned.

"Anyway, we're going to stay here for a long time this trip, and try to enter the blind spot of Yunshan. If you have spare time, you can pay attention." Li Chengyi said.

"good!"

Everyone responded in unison.

"I have scattered about 1,400 surveillance drones around Yunshan.

Rose helps me keep an eye on it at all times, and if there is any abnormality, it will be summarized to me as soon as possible.

There are also contingency plans, which Xiaozong and I have prepared. If you need help out of a blind spot, a drone will find it immediately, and a spider robot will quickly approach and give you help. "

"I have prepared medical staff here too." Daxiong said in a deep voice, "I temporarily launched a famous doctor going to the countryside activity in Yunshan County, and mobilized 80 doctors from various groups in the group. All kinds of medicines are ready!"

"I transferred people from home to guard the important entrances and exits. A total of 200 people with knives and 13 people with guns ambush. Absolutely guarantee that they will support as soon as they receive orders!" Longmen Hang continued.

"What's the use of your people? They're all idle bastards. There's no discipline." Skittle Candy frowned.

"Isn't this how courageous people are?" Longmen Diao smiled apologetically, "And some things still need to be done by people after all. Doctors, nurses and a small number of security guards are inconvenient after all."

His family is mixed with these things, and he must always reflect his own value and role, otherwise he will feel marginalized in the team

"Be careful, after passing this toll booth, you may be entering the blind spot of Yunshan Mountain." Li Chengyi picked up his backpack from the seat next to him, unzipped it, and took out packages that had been wrapped long ago.

Distribute the package to several people.

"This is something to save your life. I have taught you how to use it before departure. It is very simple, but the materials need to be replaced with those in this bag."

"Brother Cheng, aren't you joking? That nagging action is really useful?" Longmen Diao doubted.

"If there is really no other way, just use it." Li Chengyi replied.

"This is really." Longmen Hang was speechless. After receiving the black plastic bag, he always felt that his team was approaching in some strange direction

Soon, the bus drove to the entrance of the toll gate.

The ai rose starts to pay automatically.

After a while, the fence was raised, and the car continued on its way.

"Remember, if you go in, hide yourself immediately, avoid conflicts, and investigate the situation." Li Chengyi urged.

"From now on, I may go in at any time. At that time, you may need to face different environments alone. The time is not long in the case of flashes, so our purpose is to investigate as much information as possible. Prepare for the follow-up search for the Book of Records."

"After you come out, give me the summary, and you can profile it to form a complete map." Rainbow Candy said.

"clear!"

The rest responded in unison.

"Then, I wish you all the best of luck."

Li Chengyi held out his hand.

The rest of the people folded their hands on the back of his hand.

Raise it up, and shake it down hard.

Suddenly Li Chengyi lightened his hand.

His eyes blurred, and the rest of the people around him disappeared in the blink of an eye.

He was the only one left in the car, standing between the seats in the aisle.

The car slowed down slowly and stopped.

At some point outside the car window, thick white mist gushed out.
