Chapter 55 055 Pursuit Three
Li Chengyi was somewhat concerned about the inexplicable surge of evil thoughts he had at home last time.
Although the evil thoughts disappeared in the end, he absorbed them. The danger should have been lifted.
But the phenomenon of suddenly appearing and disappearing made him feel very uneasy.
He has tested the absorption of evil thoughts. It must be within a certain range and cannot exceed about thirty meters from the side.
In other words, in the home at that time, with him as the center, there must be someone within thirty meters of him who had extremely terrifying evil thoughts towards him in an instant, and then the evil thoughts disappeared inexplicably.
This kind of emotional ups and downs is not something ordinary people can do.
Such a mental state made Li Chengyi once wonder if this mysterious man had a mental problem.
He had always wanted to ask this question before, but he had been busy with a lot of things and had forgotten about it. Only now did he think of it.
"Your sister? We have indeed noticed that she has been in contact with some relatively complicated people recently. She failed the omnic exam and lost her registration fee. She also had a conflict with someone at school and beat her up. . Then, he suddenly came into contact with several people with relatively complicated backgrounds." Sindra replied, he was still very concerned about Li Chengyi, a talent with high mental intensity and the ability to flash memories easily.
"People with complicated backgrounds? Can we find out their identity and origin?" Li Chengyi asked aloud with his heart moving.
"We can't help it. Our main focus is on you. Because your sister is a senior military academy, there is a lot of information blockade. Many times we cannot inquire about the internal situation of the military academy that is isolated from the network. We are not even allowed to get close there. The inquiry cost is high. " Syndra explained.
"Of course, if you feel worried, we can send someone to check. But there is no guarantee that the results will be obtained." He glanced at Li Chengyi and said sincerely.
"If possible, I hope to check." Li Chengyi nodded and affirmed.
"Well. Your sister is indeed a bit hard to describe. Are you worried about your parents?" Song Ran asked from the side.
"Well, a little bit." Li Chengyi nodded.
He didn't care about Li Chengjiu. His predecessor knew him very well. That woman was ruthless and selfish. Whatever she did was normal.
What he was worried about was that his parents in his previous life were both honest and good people, so if they were in danger. It would be troublesome if Li Chengjiu was implicated and his life was threatened because of the bad people he came into contact with.
So he wanted to check it out, and if possible, it would be best to completely eliminate this hidden danger.
"I don't want something to happen behind the scenes while I'm investigating to get out of a dead end. If it's not too difficult, I hope to completely eliminate the potential threat." That's what Li Chengyi thought and said.
The atmosphere in the car suddenly turned cold because of his words.
Sindra was slightly startled. He remembered that not long ago, Li Chengyi was just an ordinary and simple newcomer. But now,
he shouldn't say such a sentence, at least
not now.
"It seems that you have experienced a lot in blind spots." Sima Gui raised his eyebrows.
"Well, the first blind spot I encountered was also the only one. It was much more difficult than the Fog Street. Of the three people who entered, I was the only one who survived. I only survived after trying my luck after entering for the third time." Li Chengyi answered.
"Then you are ruthless enough. In fact, most blind spots are not that dangerous. Generally, there are many that you will never be able to get out of." Sima Gui gave a thumbs up.
Sigh.
The car braked quickly.
"Okay, it's time to get off the car, we've arrived." Song Ran, who was driving, interrupted the chat between the two.
"I'm thirsty. Let's go buy something to drink. What do you want?" Sima Gui opened the door and turned around to ask.
"Sparkling water." Zhong Ying.
"Bean." Syndra.
"Tataduo." Song Ran.
Li Chengyi shook his head, indicating that he didn't need it.
Bien is a drink similar to cola, while Tartado is a sweet drink with a little stimulant added. He doesn't like any of this.
Everyone got out of the car one after another. Li Chengyi put on AR, and his glasses automatically superimposed and positioned the virtual shadow of the topographic map of Xuezhong Road from more than a hundred years ago.
The car parked on the side of an old street called Tianxing Road.
As soon as we stopped, an old man in dark green wrinkled camouflage uniform came forward and took a ticket to collect the parking fee.
Song Ran paid him some money in advance and got a bill.
Li Chengyi, Zhong Ying, and Xindra looked around at their surroundings.
This is an old street with small squares of white bricks on the ground.
The houses on both sides are about the same height, about ten meters, and their appearance is gray and white, with a bit of a Western-style building style.
Every house has a small arc-shaped balcony, and most of the windows are round arches.
Downstairs of the building are all shops with facades.
Some of these shops are still open with rectangular signs hanging on them, while others have closed.
Li Chengyi looked around and saw many dark traces of smoke remaining on the facade of the building and even on the walls.
He walked under the sign of a shop called 'Blue Ocean Pearl'.
The signboard is hung on a load-bearing column at the bottom of the building and fixed with three black metal clips.
Li Chengyi reached out and gently rubbed the back of the signboard with his fingertips.
When I took it out, I saw that there was already a layer of black dust on the fingertips.
He followed the sign and looked towards the shop. The shop was closed. The sales phone number of the shop was vaguely written in red letters on the metal rolling shutter door. The number could no longer be seen clearly.
"There was a fire in this place before." Song Ran walked to him and whispered. "I can see it, the traces of smoke and fire are obvious." Li Chengyi nodded.
"Don't worry about anything else. We just need to find Wu Ji Grocery Store. That slot machine probably belongs to Wu Ji Grocery Store." Song Ran reminded.
"Understood. I'm waiting for the memory to flash." Li Chengyi replied.
If there is a blind spot near here, then as a blind spot person with high mental strength, he will have a high probability of encountering memory flashes.
This is also one of the most important ways they investigate blind spots.
"Okay, be careful." Song Ran understood.
"By the way, when we are doing memory flash, what do you think I look like to people outside?" Li Chengyi suddenly asked, what was his state like when outsiders saw him when he was in the blind spot? Somewhat curious.
"Disappeared." Song Ran said solemnly, "Disappear suddenly and inexplicably, and then when your memory flash ends, you will suddenly and inexplicably appear again. The most uncomfortable thing is that no matter what state you are in when you appear, we outsiders will take it for granted. This Of course, this will lead to an extremely serious sense of contradiction in our hearts, which feels very uncomfortable." "
Is this so?" Li Chengyi understood.
"Let's go and look around." Song Ran patted him on the shoulder and took the lead in looking around from store to store.
He went to the left, Sima Gui went to the right, and Sindra and Zhong Ying were in the opposite row.
Li Chengyi checked that there were people in several directions, and simply walked slowly in the middle of the street, glancing left and right.
There are very few street vehicles on Tianxing Road, so you only need to avoid them occasionally.
Li Chengyi wore AR glasses and kept comparing the restored maps from more than a hundred years ago.
Several people can communicate with each other through AR, confirming the common map from more than a hundred years ago.
As the marked points on the map were lit up one by one, the fact that Tianxing Road Old Street was the former Xuezhong Road became more and more believed by several people.
Li Chengyi saw from a distance that Zhong Ying was taking advantage of her plastic surgery face to talk to an old man who was sitting in front of a street shop to enjoy the cool weather and asked about the situation.
Syndra was talking to the young women passing by. The two have a clear division of labor.
"According to the map, I should be near Wu Ji Grocery Store." Soon, Sima Gui's voice came from the AR.
"I have bought water and drinks. According to the map, where I am standing should be Wu Ji Grocery Store."
He paused.
"But...there's something wrong here."
In AR, everyone is sharing the communication, so everyone can hear what he said.
"What's wrong? It's normal if it's not a grocery store. After so many years, it must have changed to another store." Syndra said.
"No." Sima Gui hesitated. "You'll know just by looking at it."
There was a crisp click, and he quickly took a photo and uploaded it to AR.
In an instant, everyone's AR question popped up asking whether they want to view the transferred photos.
Li Chengyi clicked yes.
Uh-huh.
A clear photo popped up directly in front of his eyes.
"Is this!?" Li Chengyi was slightly stunned, stopped and leaned to the side to avoid being too late to avoid passing vehicles.
"Isn't it right? According to the map, this should be a grocery store?" Zhong Ying's voice revealed a hint of incomprehensible anxiety.
"According to the map from more than a hundred years ago, this is indeed the case. But maybe times have changed." Before Syndra could finish her words, she was interrupted by Zhong Ying.
"No matter what, it's unlikely that the original store will become like this." Zhong Ying said sharply.
"Yes, it is impossible for a place like this to change so much in more than a hundred years." Li Chengyi also agreed in a deep voice.
The photos that appeared before his eyes were not shops, buildings, or even streets.
Instead, it was a small, broad, gloomy lake with blue-green ripples.
On the left side of the lake, you can vaguely see the corners of the old buildings on Tianxing Street. On the right is the deserted white stone arch bridge.
"Could it have been demolished? Exposing the lake behind it?" Song Ran guessed.
"I asked the old people here. No buildings have ever been built in this place. It used to be a desolate mass grave with nothing. Later, the government launched a large-scale development of wasteland, and the Xuezhong Road was slowly built, which is now Tianxing Street. ." Syndra said in AR.
"Is there something wrong with the map?" Zhong Ying became suspicious.
"The map we got from the local chronicles was also compared with the National Geographic Database. It is consistent in several aspects, so there is unlikely to be a problem." Song Ran replied.
"Then where is this Wuji Grocery Store!?" Zhong Ying asked anxiously.
Several people were silent. The current situation was that the map was completely meaningless and nothing matched. I found clues before, but now I don’t know where to start.
"Sima, do you have any memory flashes over there?" Syndra asked aloud.
"I haven't encountered it." Sima replied.
"It's the same here." Li Chengyi said.
"It seems that there are no dead ends nearby. The dead ends in the fog street may have nothing to do with this place," Syndra concluded.
