MTL - Hidden Corner

Chapter 6 006 World Four (Thanks to HZ Youyou Zhongkou leader)

Li Chengyi simply chose the buffet dessert set, placed the order and paid, then got up to get the dinner plate and prepare to pick up the dessert.

“.I can’t stand it anymore, really, I really can’t stand it anymore!”

When he reached the self-service dessert counter, he suddenly heard a sobbing voice.

"It's okay. You just didn't get a good rest at night. The exam pressure is a bit too much. Take a good rest these days, do the meditation I told you before, and adjust your mentality. You will definitely be fine." Another female voice comforted her in a low voice.

 “It’s no use, I said it wasn’t a hallucination, it wasn’t a dream!” the female voice from before continued.

"I made a cut on myself. Look, the wound is still there now. It's all real! Really!" The girl's voice was very young, she was probably only seventeen or eighteen years old, and her emotions were obviously on the verge of collapse.

“Have you ever seen a psychiatrist on the Internet? You can find the best registered consultation. Tell me about your situation. Maybe they are well-informed and have seen all kinds of diseases. They should be able to.”

"I said it's not an illness! It's all true! It's true!" The girl became excited.

 “I’m going to die. Ugh. If I go in there again, I will definitely die.” She started to cry.

"You are just too nervous and too tired. You will be fine. Don't worry, I will accompany you." Another woman comforted her seriously and gently.

Li Chengyi picked up a piece of yogurt cake with strawberries, put it on the tray in his hand, and glanced at the direction of the sound from the corner of his eye.

 Just to the right of the self-service dessert counter, at the second table counting from the table, two young girls were sitting.

The one who is crying is a pretty girl wearing a white sweater with black dots, black curly hair shawl, and white glasses.

Her fingers were tightly clenching the coffee spoon in front of her, her knuckles turned white, as if she was about to break the white porcelain spoon, and her whole body was trembling.

Opposite her, a short-haired girl wearing a dark blue hoodie was comforting her in a low voice with a worried look on her face.

 The two of them seemed to notice Li Chengyi's gaze from the corner of their eyes, and their voices quickly became quieter.

Li Chengyi quickly took another small cake shaped like a banana, turned around and took a glass of milk. Instead of returning to his previous seat, he walked to another table not far from the two girls and sat down.

 He was very interested in the topic the two of them had just talked about. What the girl in the white sweater had experienced reminded him of what he was going through now.

It was just his actions that seemed to attract the attention of the two girls. They also glanced at him from the corner of their eyes and consciously lowered their voices to the point where they were almost inaudible.

Li Chengyi lowered his head and hesitated while eating the cake.

 He was thinking about whether he should take the initiative to talk to them and ask about the situation.

 But it was still unclear whether what he saw was good or bad. After hesitating for a moment, he still sat still.

 Not long after, the two girls sitting next to each other got up, picked up their small bags and left quickly.

Li Chengyi did not communicate until the end, and just sat there.

Recalling what the girl was crying about just now, he frowned slightly in silence. Suddenly, an idea flashed through his mind.

　　‘I am so stupid. ’

 In the information age, he actually sat there stupidly and did nothing. Since there is a problem, the best solution is of course.

 Taking out his mobile phone from his pocket, Li Chengyi skillfully unlocked it and opened the browser.

 Then search: Dreaming about entering a strange place.

Tick click to confirm, and rows of information links suddenly appeared on the screen.

 ‘Dream Interpretation Charges. ’

 ‘Dream Interpretation Encyclopedia Member Edition. ’

 ‘Su Lun, a master of northern psychology, will give you answers to unknown questions’

 ‘I dreamed that my father wanted to chop me down. ’

‘Dream of falling into a strange toilet. ’

The messy search results made Li Chengyi feel dizzy. At a glance, they all had nothing to do with what he was looking for.

 But information is like this, just like finding a needle in a haystack, you can only sift through it bit by bit.

 He patiently clicked on the most likely ones one by one and checked.

 The light outside the window gradually dimmed, the sunlight became slanted, and there were gradually more and more people in the cafe.

 The number of people coming off work started to increase.

Li Chengyi finally drank the milk in the cup, stood up and picked up his mobile phone.

There were so many people around that it was not conducive for him to check information quietly, so he planned to change places.

With a creak, he pushed open the coffee shop door. When he passed by the cluster of white flowers beside the door, a flash of black flashed across the back of his right hand, and a line of clear writing appeared on the back of his hand.

 It was written in the language he learned in his previous life.

 Handwriting content is quite concise.

 ‘While loading is opening, please touch it continuously for ten seconds and then release it. ’

 Except for Li Chengyi, no one else could see the black writing.

 But he was holding the phone in his left hand and searching continuously, without noticing any changes in his hand.

As he walked farther, he gradually became farther away from the cluster of flowers, and the words on the back of his right hand quickly faded.

 ‘Failed to turn on, please touch it continuously for ten seconds.’ The words disappeared quickly, as if they had never appeared and the power was out.

At this time, Li Chengyi slowly focused his attention. He clicked on the links on his phone, and he actually saw something unusual.

 ‘Dead end forum? ’

  ‘Dead End Club. ’

　　‘Dead End Institute. ’

Relevant websites came into his sight one after another.

 He randomly clicked on a blind spot club.

 Immediately, a dark webpage automatically popped up on the screen.

 ‘If you encounter a blind spot, don’t be afraid. Because whether you are afraid or not, you will die. ’

 A line of red characters slowly emerged.

 ‘There is no way to escape from the dead end. It is like a shackle, which will be tied around your neck forever, making you unable to breathe and leading you into despair step by step. ’

 After the red text is displayed, rows of news links emerge.

　　‘A couple in Wanxi City mysteriously disappeared from their home. After the disappearance, there were still hot noodles on the table. ’

“An old man from the same city as Jiaxin left his garbage in the middle of the night and failed to return. The surveillance did not reveal any abnormalities. It is suspected that the old man never left the stairwell. ’

‘A student in Yiyang City mysteriously disappeared when he was returning home from school. The road surveillance before and after found nothing. ’

 There are rows of news, all of which are missing persons cases collected from various places.

 At the bottom, there is a common sense communication entry button.

Li Chengyi clicked, and the screen immediately transferred to another web page.

 This is a forum-like interface, with several bright red titles pinned to the top of rows of posts.

  ‘1: List of community rules and how to earn points. ’

　　2: A must-read for newcomers. ’

  ‘3: Be sure to protect private information when posting and communicating to avoid being deceived. There have been criminals recently’

Li Chengyi quickly clicked on it, a must-read for newbies.

With a swipe, a row of text popped up, totaling hundreds of words.

“No one has ever seen a blind spot. Maybe it’s just a legend, but the increasing number of missing persons cases makes us believe that there must be some kind of force approaching and appearing. ’

‘A blind spot is difficult to detect, and can easily be misunderstood as a dream. Unfortunately, you will wake up from a dream, and once you enter a blind spot, you will definitely die and will never appear again. ’

'If you encounter a dead end, please be sure not to contact us and try to enjoy the last good life. The dead end will usually slowly approach and will completely pull you into it at the third sign. Do everything you want to do but dare not Just do it. ’ ˆ ˆ Li Chengyi frowned slightly.

The information on this forum smells of decadence and broken things.

 He quickly looked at the location of the person who left the message, where there was a nickname.

  ‘—a knowledgeable person. ’

 He quickly clicked on the name, and a small box popped up on the screen.

 ‘Nickname: generalist. Real name: Zhang Xieying. He mysteriously disappeared from his home in June 22, and his whereabouts are still unknown. If anyone finds him, please contact this number. ’

 Below is a black and white photo of a woman and a phone number.

 The woman in the photo is not so much a woman as she is an extremely strong and fierce man with a thick head.

His eyes are sharp and unruly, there is a scar on his forehead, his neck is as thick as a bucket, and strong muscle lines can be seen through the photos.

He was wearing a military green T-shirt and a military logo. He was probably a soldier.

 Li Chengyi looked at the current time: Thursday, May 13, 24.

　　‘Have you been missing for almost two years? ’

He sighed inwardly. If he had some doubts before that what he was experiencing was a hallucination, but now, after seeing so many real proofs, he understood that what he was experiencing was not a hallucination.

 He ​​continued to search in the forum. Apart from getting some tips, the entire forum was mostly filled with enthusiasts discussing and bragging about their dreams.

 Failed to get any more information, Li Chengyi had no choice but to close the website.

 The sky was getting dark at this time.

 He walked to a bus stop and stood waiting.

Standing, he felt vaguely tired, perhaps from eating too much sweets.

Taking out his mobile phone, he continued to browse the web page to check the situation of the blind spot.

                                                                                                                                                  ​

Suddenly, the phone screen froze, and then suddenly turned into a cartoon image of a little yellow dog sitting with its tail wagging.

There is another line below.

 ‘Sorry, your network signal is not good, please check and try again. ’

"Um?"

Li Chengyi quickly glanced at the mobile phone signal bar in the upper right corner. Sure enough, the originally full signal bar now became empty and turned into a red cross.

He shook his phone, wondering if it was malfunctioning, but suddenly he felt something was wrong. It seemed too quiet around him.

Looked up.

His eyes widened in horror.

 The surrounding area is no longer a bus stop!

 It was the underground garage he had entered before!

 In a dark parking lot.

 There is not a single car in the square open space, which is like a long closed box that stretches to the end of the field of vision.

 White light tubes are divided into two sides from the middle of the ceiling.

On the right is a long straight light tube, which lights up all the way to the end of the field of vision.

On the left are sections of horizontal light tubes, one meter long cold light lamps, hung every five meters, extending to the end of the field of vision in the same way.

　　.! ’

Li Chengyi stood frozen on the spot, his neck stiff and he slowly looked around.

There are gray lime walls on both sides, and the red fire cabinet and the gray small door of the maintenance room are clearly visible.

 But there is no one.

 There is no one.

Li Chengyi glanced back quickly.

Behind him is a fairly solid white wall. The bus stop billboard just now has long since disappeared.

Dim lights, black and blurred parking lines on the ground.

 There was no wind, no sound, just himself.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　click.

at this time.

 A small maintenance door on the right suddenly heard a slight sound.

  The sound seemed to be the sound of the door lock being turned and opened.

Li Chengyi looked from a distance. He was almost twenty meters away from the small door, and he could clearly see the door handle turning slowly.

 The rust on it also fell off slightly with the rotation.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　plicity

Li Chengyi swallowed a trace of saliva unconsciously in his throat.

Even if he has lived two lifetimes, facing danger, he is still just an ordinary person with no power to restrain himself.

 And now.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　click.

 Suddenly, the small maintenance door slowly opened.

 The door slowly opened wide, revealing a small dark gap.

 The gap was illuminated by the light, but it was empty and there was nothing inside.

It seemed to be just a maintenance room that was used as a utility room.

Li Chengyi still didn't dare to relax. He stared at the crack in the door, not daring to move his eyes at all.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　click.

 Suddenly, there was a slight noise behind him!

　　　! ? ’ Li Chengyi was suddenly startled. He didn’t expect that the wall behind him would make a sound, and he quickly turned his head and looked back.

 There is nothing behind, it is still a white wall.

 Suddenly he realized what he was doing and turned around again, looking towards the small maintenance door.

Face! !

 He saw a huge human face!

At the crack of the door, a giant human face as tall as the door was looking at him quietly through the crack.

The human face is completely black and white, as if it was cut out from an old video recorder, without any color tones.

The face looked dull, with a few sparse black hair sticking to his forehead.

He had no body, and his whole head was like a balloon. With a slight squeeze, he squeezed out from the crack of the door.

Li Chengyi stood there blankly, his whole body numb and unable to move.

He stared at the person's face and wanted to move, but the skin all over his body seemed to have lost consciousness and he couldn't move at all.

 Cold sweat slowly seeped out from his forehead, temples, and back.

 A little bit of tiny blood spots, red spots, began to appear from the skin of his legs, and gradually spread upwards.

The nearly two-meter-tall human face slowly floated closer and was approaching him.

Getting closer
