Hidden Corner

 Chapter 261 261 Gradual one

 Calling carefully, the time is almost up.

Li Chengyi felt solemn.

Since the beginning of the Dark City, the difficulty of his blind spots has begun to increase significantly. According to the law of increasing difficulty of the blind spots, what he needs to face now may be a higher level than the Dark City.

That is to say

If the woman in the white dress was really a blind spot just now, and it was stronger than the dark city, he might not be able to handle it.

　　Looking at the comic strips in the room, he made a quick decision and took out his cell phone to make a call to Xiao Brown.

Since returning from Sutan, Rainbow Candy and Gantry Crane have gone to recuperate from their injuries. Now, it is Xiao Brown in the team who is responsible for integrating contacts and controlling the detection system.

 “Hey, boss, what’s going on?” Xiao Brown seemed to be still chewing.

“Did I lose signal contact just now?” Li Chengyi asked. Generally, they judge whether they have entered a blind spot by whether their signaling equipment has been cut off from external contact.

“Everything is fine, the connection was disconnected for a short period of time, but the length of time was too short and was not taken into consideration.”

“Is there any other way to test whether a dead spot appears?” Li Chengyi frowned.

"There is another method, which was developed by the company. Daxiong and I tested many kinds of materials and found a special method. Although it is still under testing, it is very accurate." Xiao Brown replied.

  “What is it?”

"It is a variety of items brought out by using dead spots. These items will undergo structural changes when the aura of the dead spots approaches. This principle is used to indirectly detect whether there are dead spots around." Xiao Brown paused, "Let's put it It’s called a death tester.”

 “How about giving me a sample?”

“It’s possible, but the accuracy is not guaranteed.” Xiao Brown hesitated.

“It doesn’t matter, something happened here.” Li Chengyi said.

"is that OK?"

"no problem."

"That's good. There has been a lot of trouble in the company recently. There is a new blind spot person who accidentally entered a very dangerous blind spot. When he came to the company, he actually took that blind spot with him. Come here. Many people are trapped now." Xiao Brown said simply.

"Is it a flash? There shouldn't be any problem with a short flash, right?" Li Chengyi said in surprise.

"Yes, it's okay to flash into a normal blind spot for a short time. But the key point is that this blind spot is not ordinary. It's easy to flash into." There was a hint of solemnity in Xiao Brown's words. "And the fatality rate is high. Five people have died inside since it emerged last week."

“Send me the information later.” Li Chengyi knew what he meant and needed him to investigate in a flash.

"Okay! We named this blind spot the person with his back to you. That is, as long as you encounter any change of sight, you may encounter a special humanoid with his back to you. The humanoid cannot communicate with you and will eventually kill you after three consecutive encounters. The method of killing someone in a blind spot is unknown, and the method of evasion is unknown," Xiao Brown answered quickly.

Li Chengyi was still thinking about his own affairs and was not interested in the blind spots in the company.

 After all, he is also in trouble now.

 After hearing all the details Xiao Zhuang said, his expression suddenly changed slightly.

Isn't this just like the woman in the white dress he encountered? ?

 Hang up the phone, he sat on the sofa in the living room and remained silent.

　　‘If we meet again, this will be my third time, right? ’

 ‘Next time, let’s try it first.’

 He made a decision.

 Immediately, I started to mobilize the database through Rose AI to query the blind spot information of the person facing my back.

Originally I wanted to find out how the flower language of exercises came about, but I didn’t expect to be involved in a new troublesome corner.

There is still time to investigate the location of the Sunken Palace and find the Book of Distortion.

 Time is becoming increasingly scarce.

 As I continued to search for information, time gradually passed and the sky became darker and darker.

 At eleven o'clock in the evening, a call came to Li Chengyi's mobile phone.

“Brother, this is Liu Tongbei.” The regional commissioner’s voice came from the other end of the phone.

 “Brother Liu? Is something wrong?”

“That’s right, your team went to Sutan not long ago, right?”

"yes."

“Someone is interested in you and wants to chat with you. Do you have time?”

"Who is it? I'm very busy now, can I refuse?" Li Chengyi frowned.

Look for the Sunken Palace, investigate the people you encounter who are suspected of being in a blind spot, and look for techniques and flower language.

These three things are very important. He has no time to play messy intrigues with outsiders.

"I'm afraid not. This person has great energy. If you don't see him, your company, and even most of the people in your team, may be affected." Liu Tongbei said in a deep voice.

 “What’s the specific time?” Li Chengyi heard his embarrassment.

 Obviously, Sutan's trip has completely attracted the attention of domestic forces.

 “Is it okay now?”

"Now?"

“That person is just passing by you and can stay for an hour so that he can meet you.”

 “Okay! But I’m in Zhaoshan now.”

“It doesn’t matter, we are nearby too.” Liu Tongbei replied.

 Li Chengyi is stunned.

 Obviously, someone on the other side is keeping an eye on his whereabouts.

Hang up the phone, he stood up, picked up his coat, and pushed the door open.

 Notify the secretary and leave the hotel.

Zhou Xingtong has already driven the car and is waiting for him outside. It rained heavily at night, and the rain was blown by the wind.

Getting in the car, Li Chengyi reported the location address from Liu Tongbei.

ten minutes later.

 At a military airport near Zhaoshan. He saw Liu Tongbei waiting outside.

“Brother Li, the person you are going to meet this time is of a very high level and has a lot of energy. Don’t act out of emotion! You must have a correct attitude!”

Liu Tongbei, who had always been playful and smiling but not serious, now looked a little serious and whispered.

“Is it a flying instrument master?” Li Chengyi followed him inside and asked in a low voice.

 “Not from a self-circulating person!”

 Self-circulating city

This name made him involuntarily think of the old aunt he met on this trip to Sutan.

 Judging from the attitude of the old aunt's daughter, people in Zihuan City seem to look down on all aspects of other cities.

The so-called self-circulating city, maybe you should wait and see it during this period.

At the current level, Li Chengyi has already felt that if he can take advantage of his blind spot and rely on the power of senior officials to assist him.

 Perhaps you can get faster help in all aspects.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　click.

 In a private room in the airport restaurant.

Liu Tongbei opened the door and motioned for Li Chengyi to come in, while he stood outside the door and did not move.

The room is in the shape of a cylinder, with red walls and two people facing the door.

 These two people are standing and one is sitting.

As soon as Li Chengyi entered the door, his eyes focused on the man sitting there.

 “Zhu Rui.”

The person sitting there is a young man with short white hair and a silver V-shaped mark between his eyebrows. He is wearing a long-sleeved robe similar to that of an ancient scribe. The whole body is dark blue and the cuffs are tattooed with subtle silver patterns. It gives people a graceful and luxurious temperament.

As soon as he saw someone coming in, the young man stood up with a smile, stretched out his hand to him, and announced his name.

"Actually, after I heard that you had returned from Sutan, I had the idea to meet your team. I happened to be on a business trip and passed by here. Don't be surprised if I visited late at night." He smiled.

Li Chengyi reached out and shook his hand, and the two sat down.

“Mr. Zhu, I would like to ask you what position you are in and what do you represent in contacting us?”

 He asked bluntly.

“What position does Mr. Li want me to take?” Zhu Rui said with a smile, “Actually.” He paused.

"Actually, no matter what my position is, you don't have the right to refuse. Don't you?"

 “What do you mean, Mr. Zhu?” Li Chengyi’s eyes turned slightly cold.

"The modified body system behind the thugs has proven your value in Sutan. Such a rough experimental system already has sufficient investment value. So..." Zhu Rui paused, "I will give you two options."

“One, your entire team brings technology to my Shum Yip Group.”

“Second, you will sell the entire system technology to our Zhu family.”

“Mr. Zhu is very confident.” Li Chengyi said calmly.

"Of course." Zhu Rui nodded and smiled, "If you look up the information, you will know how many experimental teams there are in the entire Yi Kingdom every year, trying to join the Shenye Group. Therefore, the treatment I give Very sincere.”

"Once you join, you will receive the greatest scientific research support as soon as possible. Compared with your grass-roots team's own research and development, the resources and scientific research reserves of Shum Yip Group are far beyond your imagination. Your body modification technology will be split into Many different patents are applied to all walks of life, bringing you massive wealth and influence!”

 Zhu Rui introduced.

"Sorry. I'm not interested." Li Chengyi refused coldly.

Let’s not talk about whether he can share the Flower of Evil system. Even if he could, he would not be able to reveal his biggest reliance.

“Mr. Li, you still don’t understand your current situation.” Zhu Rui said with a smile.

"In Sutan, your system has shown enough potential, and now many forces in the country are eyeing you. Others are not as easy to talk to as me."

 “They dare to take action?” Li Chengyi asked.

"With Jiuyi and Lianhui here, naturally they won't do anything face to face. But their methods are much more than you think." Zhu Rui said.

"Mr. Zhu knows our identity? Does he understand our situation?" Li Chengyi asked again.

“Of course I know, otherwise I wouldn’t come here to talk in person. Mr. Li can think about it carefully.” Zhu Rui smiled, picked up a cup of tea and took a sip.

"Then, I'll take my leave first." Li Chengyi stood up, turned and walked towards the door.

"I mean, let you think here." Zhu Rui's voice came from behind. "I didn't let you go back!"

"Li Chengyi. You have a sister, a pair of parents who love you, friends with whom you have a close relationship, teachers who love and care for you, and subordinates and companions who trust you with their destiny. Everything about them depends on you. Decide now.”

 Li Chengyi's body stopped.

 “What do you mean?” He turned his face sideways and looked at the other person from the corner of his eyes.

“Literally.” Zhu Rui smiled, “Except for Yan Xincai, as long as you step out of this room, the fate of everyone is in your hands.”

 He slowly walked to Li Chengyi's side, stood at the window of the private room, and looked out.

“What about the dead man? What about the thugs? Violence is not the only way to destroy a person.”

"Are you threatening me?" Li Chengyi narrowed his eyes slightly, and a hint of coldness emanated from his body.
