Blind Spot

Chapter 121: 111 Fusion First

Thud.

Li Chengyi lay flat on the ground, looking under the bed.

Through the gap beneath the bed, he clearly saw a faint light shining from the other end.

Soft, low-wattage white light.

The white light flickered slightly, as if due to unstable voltage.

Li Chengyi lifted his head and looked behind him.

The room’s lights were off, and aside from the moonlight, there was no additional illumination.

He lay down again and peered under the bed.

There indeed was a light...

’What could be over there...?’

A sense of danger began to rise in Li Chengyi’s heart.

’The hand that appeared at first probably stretched out from under the bed and grabbed my left hand, which is why it’s now experiencing anomalies.

If I crawl in there, into the room on the other side with the light, will my whole body become like my left hand? Affected by the blurring anomaly?’

He lay on the ground, not moving hastily, afraid of acting recklessly.

Without understanding what had happened to his left hand, he didn’t dare to enter and explore.

’Right now, it’s just the beginning of an omen; I might be able to exit the Blind Spot at any moment. So, I should ensure my safety as much as possible while trying to gather more information about this place and collect more characteristics to rapidly identify the original after getting out!’

Li Chengyi’s thoughts were clear.

It was the first time he’d entered a Blind Spot omen while still not having left the Silent Store.

There’s not much difference between a Blind Spot omen and a Flash Appearance.

The difference is that a Blind Spot omen has no definite geographical nature; it does not appear where the Blind Spot is.

Like Li Chengyi’s first Blind Spot, the Grecius Parking Garage was located on the border, but the omen had appeared inland here.

The emergence of the Blind Spot omen was completely random and had no geographical limitations.

But Flash Appearances were different.

’Flash Appearances must be preceded by the presence of a Blind Spot nearby to trigger the Flash Appearances in the nearby Blind Spot Individuals. I have been staying with Master Yu Long for so many days and haven’t discovered any Blind Spots. Otherwise, with the strength of my Consciousness Power, there would have been more than one Flash Appearance by now.

So, this one must be a Blind Spot omen!’

Li Chengyi quickly arrived at a conclusion.

He looked at the light under the bed, feeling hesitant for a moment.

He was at a loss for clues at the moment; the room he was in showed no changes.

The only change occurred under the bed.

However, the change in his left hand had led him to estimate that the danger level of this Blind Spot was very high.

’I should test it with something else.’

He looked around and saw a magnetic levitation pen on the nightstand.

He reached out, took the pen,

and stared at the light on the opposite side under the bed.

Whoosh.

Suddenly, he threw the pen underneath.

The black rollerball pen spun and sketched a subtle arc on the floor, passing under the bed and finally stopping on the floor of the room on the other side.

The brown wooden floor creaked faintly as it was rolled over by the pen.

The pen came to a rest and no longer moved.

Li Chengyi also watched it intently, looking for any movement around it.

Time trickled by.

He lay quietly, waiting for a change to occur.

Click.

Suddenly,

a slight sound of a door opening came from behind him.

Li Chengyi’s scalp exploded, and a chill rushed through him in an instant.

He quickly turned to look at the room’s entrance.

At the same time, a Golden Sword instantly appeared in his palm.

But unfortunately, he was a step too late. He only managed to see a pitch-black hand quickly being withdrawn from the crack in the door, retreating back into the pitch-dark hallway outside.

The doorway was left with only a gap.

No other movements were heard.

’...!’ Li Chengyi had never seen what the hand that grabbed his left hand looked like.

But the moment he saw the black hand at the door crack, he was inexplicably sure that it was the same mysterious hand that had grabbed his left hand!

He quickly got to his feet but suddenly remembered something and turned his head to look through the bed gap at the other room.

The pen was gone!

"Damn it!!"

The sense of alert and threat in Li Chengyi’s heart soared to its highest.

There wasn’t just one of those black hands!

He immediately deduced the most probable scenario!

’This is trouble!’

Creak.

Suddenly, the window of the room was being pushed open from the outside.

It seemed as though someone at the windowsill had flipped the window’s latch.

But right now, there was only him in the room!

And the window could only be opened from inside!

Who!

Who is it!!?

Li Chengyi finally couldn’t hold back, stood up, and activated the Radiance Field with all his might.

Invisible, gentle warmth spread around him, radiating out to a distance of one meter.

The Radiance Field’s maximum radius was one meter. Within this one-meter radius, he could freely adjust its size.

However, its strength was entirely determined by his own physical strength.

The warm invisible light seemed to disperse some invisible danger, an undetectable coldness.

Yet Li Chengyi remained vigilant.

His body’s senses were still tightly wound.

He knew all too well that it was not easy to be safe in the Blind Spot.

Looking at the window that had mysteriously opened, he stood beside the bed, silently waiting.

Motionless.

He could feel, in the darkness, that mysterious attacker was also waiting, waiting for him to let his guard down, even for a moment.

Time kept slipping by.

He had no idea how much time had passed...

Finally.

The outline of the corridor outside the door gradually became visible, no longer the utter darkness that seemed endless like before.

Through the window, the White Star and the starlight gradually became visible.

An inexplicable sense of safety surged back into Li Chengyi’s heart like a tide.

He finally let out a sigh of relief, dissipated the Golden Sword in his hand, and glanced at the bedside table.

The magnetic floating pen that had disappeared hadn’t come back, obviously now lurking in the Blind Spot.

"Sigh..."

Li Chengyi exhaled deeply, walked to the window, and pulled it wide open.

The cool evening breeze from outside wafted in, bringing the faint scent of plants and trees.

In the distance, a goose-shaped airplane slowly crossed the night sky, flashing red lights as it flew away.

’It’s no wonder that even powerful Blind Spot Individuals eventually become neurotic; this damn thing can pop up at any time and catch you off guard, anyone would be driven to nervous exhaustion. Living in constant fear, afraid of slipping up.’

Li Chengyi felt helpless in his heart.

’If this continues, I will end up like the other Blind Spot Individuals. Even if I can keep living, mental issues will arise.’

’I must find a way to resolve this.’

He pondered rapidly in his mind.

To solve the problem of Blind Spot attacks, he needed first to ascertain the largest difference between Blind Spot Individuals and Common people who weren’t subject to Blind Spot intrusions.

Li Chengyi turned and walked to the door, pulling it open in one swift motion; the corridor outside was normal.

He gently locked the door and then lay down to peer under the bed to the other side.

The other side had also lost its light, returning to the reality of the situation.

’Key elements: beneath the bed, the black hand, body parts grabbed by the black hand become blurred, and there may be more than one black hand. And beneath the bed seems to lead to another unknown room.’

Having identified the key elements, Li Chengyi quickly took out his phone and called Pencil Eyebrow at the company.

The phone rang only three times before it was picked up on the other end.

"Another appearance?" Pencil Eyebrow’s voice sounded slightly sluggish, obviously waking up so late, her mind hadn’t yet become keen.

"Sorry to disturb you, it happened again just now, could be a premonition of a new Blind Spot," Li Chengyi replied.

"I’ll contact the Profiler right away; just hang on!" Pencil Eyebrow responded.

Not willing to stay in the room after what had happened, Li Chengyi went downstairs and sat on a deck chair in the practice area behind the building, where he described the situation to the Profiler.

After a good half hour of questioning and answering, Li Chengyi completed the profiling.

He hung up, and now it was a matter of waiting for the results.

Once the Profiler provided the template, it would be his job to identify the type and then transmit the data long-distance over the firewall to the White Star, where the databases from both Yi Country and White Star could be searched simultaneously.

His boss, Xindela, had also built a detailed database for the Blind Spot.

This database was called the Lien Database.

Just hearing the name, one knew it was created to find his son. Although the Lien Database couldn’t compare to official databases, it was among the most comprehensive collections of frequently encountered Blind Spot types in the civilian sector.

He collected his thoughts.

As Li Chengyi sat by the deck chair, he felt somewhat weary.

"I’m starting to understand what you all go through..." Master Yu Long’s voice came from the back stairwell entrance.

"Master Long, did you hear?" Li Chengyi turned and saw Master Yu Long standing by the stairs, continuously working a hand grip in his hand.

"I heard some noise; I’ve always been a light sleeper. I got up to use the bathroom and then heard you on the phone," Master Yu Long replied, his figure in white pajamas looking like a bowling pin.

He slowly walked over to Li Chengyi’s side and sat down on another deck chair.

By then, the night sky was beginning to brighten, turning blue.

In the distance, the city was illuminated by numerous rainbow-colored searchlights sweeping through a corner of the night sky.

Clearly, at this time, many people were already up early, starting their new day.

"It’s not easy," Master Yu Long remarked. "To sleep with such worry... In our traditional martial arts, that easily leads to a startled spirit."

"A startled spirit?"

"Yes, it means... the mind cannot settle, attention increasingly scattered, and eventually leading to nervous exhaustion, insomnia, disruption of the biological clock, and various endocrine problems," Master Yu Long explained earnestly.

"I’ll find a way," Li Chengyi said seriously.

"There is a way." Master Yu Long nodded. "In our traditional martial arts, there exists a realm called Pre-cognition, which allows for sensing danger before it arrives and quickly adjusting one’s body in response."

"Pre-cognition?" Li Chengyi’s heart stirred, suddenly recalling some of the traditional martial arts realms he had heard about in another life.

Could there be some correlation?

"Before an earthquake strikes, many animals can sense the impending danger in advance, resulting in restlessness, agitation, and such. You know about this, right?" Master Yu Long inquired.

"Yes, I’ve heard about it," Li Chengyi nodded.

"That’s good," Master Yu Long paused. "What they’re sensing are the subtle changes, signals, and signs before the earthquake. This is something known to sensitive creatures."

He sighed.

"Fifty years ago, there was an unbeatable individual in Yi Country’s martial arts world who had put forth a complete theory— the Pre-cognition theory."

"That man’s name was Huang Wuxiang, the strongest fighter I knew of in the combat sports world. At that time, many people gave him the title of Blood King, quite simply meaning ’King of Flesh and Blood.’"

"His Pre-cognition theory posited that a person’s flesh and spirit are constantly converting into one another.

Spirit and spirit, two sides of the same entity.

And when the spirit can freely transform at will, reaching a certain high rate, a certain proportion, one can use spirit to nourish the spirit, allowing it to grow stronger and eventually... reach Pre-cognition."
