Hidden Corners

Cross the zebra crossing, carefully avoid the speeding electric car riders on the sidewalk, and then step onto a white bridge with escalators.

Walk to the opposite side of the road, and then go right along the stone road for 350 meters.

Li Chengyi finally arrived at the New Century Building that Syndra mentioned.

Before he walked up to the entrance with security guards in front of the building, a young woman guarding the door greeted him.

"Mr. Cheng Yi?" The woman was wearing a OL black dress, the skirt was a little short to her knees, revealing her fair and slender legs, her brown curly hair was scattered over her shoulders, her face was painted with light makeup, and her eyebrows were obviously over-shaven. Like two pencil leads.

"It's me." As soon as Li Chengyi heard the address, he knew that he should be the person who came to pick him up, so he nodded slightly.

"Please come with me. The entrance to the company is not from here." She smiled, showing a professional reception smile, and said softly.

"Okay." Li Chengyi looked up at the building again.

A sense of urgency suddenly rose in his heart.

According to Syndra, the dead end will come again in two months. This is not a game, and there is no reward for surviving, so he must make all preparations as soon as possible within these two months.

Also, if you can use Syndra's resources to find a way to evolve the Scale Clothes, then the chances of passing through the dead end will be much higher.

From the moment Hualinyi tore up the monster with a human face for the first time, and then succeeded in keeping himself alive, Li Chengyi knew that his greatest hope was in the flower of evil.

He is at the level of an ordinary person relying on his intelligence, which is really not good.

Follow the woman around to the side of the building, enter through an office staff entrance, and take a separate elevator.

Not long after, the elevator stopped on the nineteenth floor.

Ding.

The door opens.

Inside are rows of neatly arranged desks and chairs.

White tables and chairs, black floor, silver-white ceiling, and large green plants in the corners.

The staff sat at the table in an orderly manner, operating the computer from time to time, and some were communicating with the phone, looking very busy.

"Here." The woman leading the way reminded with a smile, and walked out first.

"Okay." Li Chengyi followed her, walked through the desks, and walked to the innermost dark corridor.

There was only one room at the end of the corridor, the door was half open, and a smoking man stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows.

A silver-black suit, a white shirt, and a back-cut hair, with one hand in his trouser pocket and a cigarette butt in the other.

Li Chengyi recognized at a glance that it was Syndra who had met him before.

He glanced at the woman leading the way, who reached out to him as a gesture of please.

"Ahem." Li Chengyi stepped forward, walked through the corridor, opened the door, and walked into the office at the end.

"Come?" Syndra turned around, and put out the cigarette butt in the ashtray on the table.

"Look at the contract on the table. If you agree, sign it. If you don't agree, forget it." He pointed to the yellow wooden desk.

The entire office is not big. From left to right, there are black leather sofas, a low coffee table, a small whiteboard for writing, two movable computer chairs, and a rectangular wooden desk.

The furnishings are hasty and simple, like a leather bag company.

Li Chengyi cast his eyes on the wooden desk, on which there were three bottles of drinks.

They are two black and one red respectively, including two bottles of black kacchi cola and one bottle of Yunshan mineral water. All in 500ml bottles.

The contract documents are pressed by mineral water wrapped in red plastic skin.

He stepped forward, removed the mineral water, picked up a simple piece of document paper and looked at it.

The content is very simple, that is, it is agreed that he will work in the company under Syndra and commute to and from get off work on time every day. There is no work content and no restrictions. On the contrary, the monthly salary of benefits is very detailed.

With such generous conditions, he had no reason not to sign.

Immediately picked up the gel pen on the side, and wrote his name on it.

"Leave a bank card number to the financial office later." Syndra turned her face to remind.

"What about the information? About the blind spots." Li Chengyi asked what he was most concerned about.

"Let me ask first, do you know how many types of dead ends there are?" Syndra said. At the same time, he walked slowly to the door and closed the door.

"type?"

"Well, there are many types of dead ends, so you need to tell what kind of dead ends you entered, so that you can accurately search for information."

After closing the door, he took out a silver-black USB flash drive from his pocket and handed it to Li Chengyi.

"Just open it against a whiteboard or a wall."

Li Chengyi took the thing and looked at it carefully. It seemed to be something like a miniature flashlight. There is a simple switch button on the side.

He flipped through it, and pointed the end of the light bulb at the white wall on the left.

Snap the button.

hiss.

A beam of white light radiated from one end of the thing, reflecting on the white wall.

Suddenly, a large color screen with a length and width of more than four meters appeared on the wall.

On the screen, rows of yellow folders were densely arranged, at least hundreds of them.

"These are the blind spots I collected, isn't it a lot?" Syndra said softly from behind.

"A lot." Li Chengyi narrowed his eyes and carefully looked at the names of these folders, all of which were pure numbers.

"First of all, I need to tell you the most important rule about dead ends." Syndra continued.

"There are generally only two ways to leave a blind spot."

He held out two fingers.

"First, among the living people who entered together, every time one of them dies, the rest can temporarily leave once. They will enter again after two months.

This is one of the reasons why we call this phenomenon dead ends. "

Li Chengyi's eyes narrowed slightly, thinking of his current situation.

"Is that what I am now?" he asked.

"Yes. Someone must have died in the dead corner you entered, so you were allowed to leave temporarily.

Of course, the entry interval after leaving is not necessarily a fixed two months, this is just an approximate number from our statistics. "Sindra continued.

"The second way to leave is to find a way to escape from a dead end.

Every dead corner has a special method of escape. These methods are all kinds of strange, but they all have a lot to do with their own origins.

For this reason, I formed this company and absorbed a few special personnel to assist me in investigating this part. "

"How many people like me join you?" Li Chengyi asked.

"Not much." Syndra said succinctly.

"Not much, how much?" Li Chengyi had a bad feeling in his heart.

"With you, just two." Syndra said lightly. "At most, there were a dozen or so people, but later on, there were only two left."

"They are all dead?" Li Chengyi was a little confused, and his voice was a little low when he asked.

"Perhaps, anyway, for those of us who have not entered the blind spot, they are all missing. No one is alive, no dead body is seen." Syndra sighed.

"So, if a lot of people enter a blind spot at the same time, wouldn't it be possible to die one at a time, and then continue to prolong the survival time? Until you find a way to leave? From this point of view, there should be people who really escape completely in the blind spot, right?" Li Chengyi responded instantly. come over.

"Yes, and no." Syndra replied.

"What's the meaning?"

"Literally." He walked to the side of Li Chengyi, stood still, and looked up at the projection screen on the wall.

"It is true that someone has found a way to leave the blind spot with the help of external force, and it is using the method you mentioned.

But... they also encountered another big problem. "

"what is the problem?"

"In a dead corner, once people start to die. Every time someone dies, the danger inside will be greatly increased the next time other people enter again."

"Strengthen." Li Chengyi's heart shuddered, "To what extent?"

"I don't know." Syndra shook her head, "My son is missing inside, and I also want to know if the blind spot can be completely escaped."

"What about those who found the exit?" Li Chengyi asked again.

"They would continue to encounter new dead ends two months later until they disappeared."

"."

Li Chengyi finally understood why this phenomenon was called a dead end.

"Don't worry, the longest record is an official person who has survived more than 30 dead ends. Work harder, you might be able to!" Syndra patted him on the shoulder and comforted him.

"That is to say, you want to find your son? Didn't you say he's dead?" Li Chengyi continued to ask.

"Maybe it's just missing."

"Okay." Li Chengyi didn't ask any more questions, "How should I start?"

"From the beginning to the end, tell me how you got in, what it looked like after you got in, and how you got out." Syndra looked serious.

Li Chengyi didn't delay, and immediately told him all about how to enter the omen at the beginning, how to enter completely later, encountering monsters, and so on.

Of course, he omitted all the content involving the flower of evil, so even the fact that the monster's face was torn apart by him once was also concealed.

In any case, Evil Flower's flower language ability, and Hualinyi, will be his biggest hole cards, and there must be no leaks.

"You mean, you saw someone go in with a gun?" Syndra asked thoughtfully.

"Yes. That person was definitely prepared, otherwise he wouldn't have gone straight to the crack where I hid.

In addition, I still saw strange symbols at the crack that suddenly appeared. "Li Chengyi replied.

"Omens can allow you to prepare supplies in advance, and naturally it will also allow other people to prepare in advance. If that person happens to be qualified to hold a gun and can get a gun, it is normal to bring a gun into a dead end. But I am not sure whether he is an official .No...probably not..." Syndra rubbed her chin.

"Then what should I do?" Li Chengyi asked with a frown.

"If you want to survive, you must not only face your own dangers in the dead corner, but also learn to face the threats posed by others. Among these threats, the biggest possibility is all kinds of weapons."

Syndra stepped aside and quickly wrote a few words with the black pen on the whiteboard.

‘Physical stamina, weapons, coping modes. '

"These three pieces are what you need to study intensively in these two months. If you want to survive."

Li Chengyi put down the projector flashlight in his hand and looked at the whiteboard.

"Do you have arrangements?"

"Of course. The lower floor here is reserved by me as an indoor training center for you and another assistant to use.

As for weapons, you have to learn how to protect yourself when you face various weapons. Then learn to use various weapons by yourself.

The reason why we put the mastery of weapons last is because ordinary weapons, including firearms, are very weak against all kinds of dangers in blind spots. The biggest role of guns is against people. "

"I thought there was a big organization behind you." Li Chengyi suddenly said something without thinking.
