Chapter 126: Blending 116 Six

Thump, thump.

Suddenly, a faint sense of touch came from the exterior of the Floral Dress beside him.

Li Chengyi looked over to see Yserine reaching out to gently pat him. She was holding the mobile phone that the two of them had just used to communicate.

After taking the mobile phone, Li Chengyi continued the translation function.

"What was that just now?" he asked.

"I don’t know," Yserine shook her head, her face just as pale with fright.

"But I saw it with my own eyes, it passed through the bodies of two people, and then both of those people disappeared."

"Is there anything that can stop it?" Li Chengyi asked.

This entity was different from anything he had encountered before, completely without physical form and unafraid of the Radiance Field.

He had been using the Radiance Field while fighting, but he’d still lost two Golden Swords.

So far, the Golden Swords from the Gladiolus Floral Dress imprint hadn’t regenerated, which obviously meant they were completely damaged.

"As long as you hide under the bed, there’s no problem. But now the bed has been broken by you..." Yserine answered carefully.

Li Chengyi thought for a moment, walked over, grabbed the broken bed slats, put them back in place, and then did some basic assembly.

Soon, a somewhat collapsed wooden bed reappeared before them.

"Only the middle support post is broken, it can still be used if pieced together," he explained.

Seeing that the bed was roughly fixed, Yserine immediately breathed a huge sigh of relief, quickly bent over, crawled in from the side of the bed, and hid under it again.

"This is the safest place, nothing can hurt you as long as you don’t come out," her voice came from beneath the bed.

Li Chengyi looked at the translation on the phone and frowned.

He crouched down and looked under the bed towards the opposite side.

Indeed, another room with the light on appeared there.

The room that had the same floor as his own bedroom.

"So you plan to keep hiding under the bed like this?" Li Chengyi discarded the broken Golden Sword, letting it disintegrate into points of light and disappear, and a new Golden Sword slid out from his hand to replace the previous one.

The young girl stared blankly, having not noticed before, but now, being so close, she was stunned.

"Under... under the bed, it’s safe. There are so many, so many of those black hands, you can’t block them... Before, someone tried to block them with other things like you did, but then more than ten appeared at once and... I was just too scared before, too frightened to go anywhere, and just kept hiding under the bed.

After all, as long as I wait until after ’three times,’ I can return to my own room, and then everything will be safe," Yserine returned to her senses and answered with a bit of a stutter.

"After ’three times’?" Li Chengyi heard a new key point and immediately asked, "What do you mean?"

"It means..." The girl’s voice began to blur before she could finish.

It was as if it was muffled by a thick curtain, or as if the voice was becoming more and more distant, weaker and weaker.

Before Li Chengyi could react, everything in front of him twisted into countless lines.

All the lines began to spin, blur, and accelerate.

"Can you hear me? What does ’three times’ mean!?"

He tried hard to speak, but his voice seemed to be stretched by something, low and twisted, fluctuating in volume.

Pop!

He blinked, and his head instantly cooled, with all the strange visions disappearing in a flash.

He was still standing in his bedroom, and the Wisteria Floral Dress on his body quickly dissipated and turned into points of light and petals that vanished.

’I was so close...’

Li Chengyi took a deep breath; this was his second entrance into the premonition, and he wouldn’t get out so easily the third time.

He could end up trapped inside until he found a way to escape.

The young girl had survived four times already; she must have her own method for surviving.

But such matters still depend on luck; the next time he entered, he might not encounter it again.

"What a pity..."

"If I could get more information from Yserine’s mouth, maybe it would help more in finding the prototype...."

"However, the gains from this entry were also significant. I’ve memorized the appearance of that child, and also the untouchable characteristic... Staying hidden under the bed seemed to be very safe, and these details might be added to the elements of searching for the prototype."

Looking at the blue-black night sky outside the window, a plane with red dots slowly flew by, heading into the distance.

Li Chengyi took a long breath.

He walked to the window and pushed it open with one hand.

Fresh air continuously flowed into the room, replacing some of the stale heaviness.

He took off his Wisteria Floral Dress, wiped his forehead, and it was all cold sweat.

That shadowy child was like a hedgehog that couldn’t be touched, a slight misstep in contact with it could result in one’s body disappearing.

This had nothing to do with the thickness of one’s defense; it was about not being able to be touched at all.

"No matter what, I have to go to the botanical garden first and repair the Floral Dress!"

It was only because he owned the Eternal Botanical Garden himself. Otherwise, no one would maintain the blooming of flowers out of season.

Like the Wisteria, which only blooms from April to May, and now it was already October. By all accounts, there should be no flowers.

But Li Chengyi had managed, using greenhouses and medicines, to keep the Wisteria in one of the greenhouses in constant bloom, continuously blossoming and wilting, ever replacing.

Gladiolus was the same.

After changing into another set of clothes, Li Chengyi took all the prepared items, turned around, and opened the door.

Click.

A pale-faced black-haired child stood outside the door, looking up at him and smiling.

Suddenly, the child raised both arms and lunged at him.

Li Chengyi’s muscles, which had just relaxed, instantly tensed up.

Without time to think, he sidestepped hastily, moving to the left with all his might.

Bang!!

His body hit the wall on the left.

But fortunately, he dodged it.

It was a close call.

He had seen with his own eyes that the child’s hand was only as close as a knuckle to his abdomen.

After dodging that attack, Li Chengyi bounced up from the ground and looked for the child again.

The child had disappeared.

Only the wooden chair that the other party had hit was quickly becoming blurry, fading, and vanishing.

In just three seconds, a brown wooden chair had disappeared without a trace right in front of Li Chengyi.

"Fuck!"

Li Chengyi’s heart raced; he quickly got up and leaped out the window.

With a "puff" sound, he rolled several times on the outside field, dissipating his momentum before getting up.

At this time, the night was hazy, and the full moon was high.

All around was open space, with only the wall of the Yu Long household visible in the distance.

There was no obstruction to sight anywhere.

In such a situation, any attack could be seen clearly, allowing for early detection.

Li Chengyi nervously surveyed his surroundings and, after confirming the child had not appeared again, slowly let out a breath.

"What’s wrong? What’s wrong!?"

Yu Long, wearing his coat, rushed out of the door, approaching him.

Li Chengyi took a breath, wanting to say something, but he still didn’t tell the truth.

"It’s nothing... just ran into some trouble."

Seeing his reaction, Yu Long instantly understood.

"Are you hurt?" he asked solemnly.

"No. Master Long, you go rest. It’s okay here. I can handle it," Li Chengyi replied.

He checked the items he carried on him.

"I’m stepping out for a bit, I’ll come back later."

"Go ahead, if you need any help, just tell me!" Yu Long said earnestly.

"Thanks!"

Li Chengyi took one last look at the second-floor bedroom where he lived and then turned and strode away.

He went outside, hailed a taxi on the road outside the villa community.

A few minutes later.

The roaring sound quickly approached.

A familiar SUV appeared in his field of vision again.

Screech.

The wheels braked sharply, the driver’s side window rolled down, revealing Song Ran’s stern, square face.

"Get in, I’ll take you wherever you need to go!"

"Brother Song?" Li Chengyi said in surprise.

"I can’t be of much help otherwise, but I can still lend a hand with something like this," Song Ran answered in a deep voice.

Without another word, Li Chengyi opened the car door and sat in the back seat.

Going back to Suiyang from Qinggang would indeed be much slower by taxi.

But speeding in a car was a different matter.

After getting into the car, Li Chengyi quickly sent the details he had just gathered to Pencil Eyebrow and Rainbow Candy.

Especially the face of that child, which left a deep impression on him.

After sending the information, he finally breathed a sigh of relief and recalled the incident he had just encountered.

’Just now, I was sure I had left the Blind Spot... How could that little brat still follow me?’

Logically, once out of the Blind Spot, things inside shouldn’t be able to follow...

Suddenly, Li Chengyi’s train of thought paused.

’No!’

He suddenly thought of the slot machine incident, that eerie chubby kid!

’That time, that chubby kid was also able to leave the Blind Spot and followed us all the way!’

’Trouble!’

Can’t touch, might appear at any time, now it’s the second warning, if he can’t find a way to get away before the next Blind Spot pulls him in...

He might really be in danger.

Dudu dudu...

The phone rang.

He picked it up and answered quickly.

"Brother Cheng, based on the elements you gave, I have found three suspected prototypes!" said Rainbow Candy, her voice decisive and clear.

"Which three?"

"I’ll send them to you!" Rainbow Candy hung up the call with a snap.

Quickly, strings of text with images were sent to his current phone.

Li Chengyi opened and checked them one by one.

’Possible Prototype 1—Lost Child: A folk rumor from the White Star Stormy Sea where over seventy years ago a major murder case occurred. A young child smeared his face with poison powder and killed all eleven members of his family at home.

The incident caused a huge sensation locally. After the murder, the child took one last selfie and then walked alone into the inferno, burning to ashes with his family.’

A somewhat blurry selfie was attached.

Li Chengyi opened it to look.

It was a lean little boy with dark skin, his face painted very white, smiling brilliantly and happily at the phone camera.

After seeing the boy’s appearance, he memorized it.

Then he looked at the second one.

’Possible Prototype 2—In the depths of the Earth-Moon Mara Jungle, there lives a small ethnic group known as the Pingba Tribe.

The Pingba Tribe has a tradition to prevent evil from the darkness from contaminating a child’s mind and possessing their bodies.

They would cover the children’s faces with white powder every year until they turned ten years old.

It is only after turning ten that they would wash it off. There are just over a thousand households in the Pingba Tribe, so investigating on-site would not be difficult.

I’ve found three photos left on the internet.’

A photo is attached as well.

Li Chengyi opened the photo and glanced at it.

A neatly dressed little boy with black hair was covered with white powder on his face by an old man with oily, colorful facial patterns while his parents accompanied him.

The little boy seemed happy.

He scrolled down the picture, where the next two, clipped together, were shown.

The other two photos each display another small ceremony with a boy and a girl.

But looking at the children’s hands in the photos, their hands were fair and tender, not at all fitting the black hand characteristic.

Li Chengyi compared them in his mind and shook his head slightly.

Finally, he turned to the third one.

’Possible Prototype 3—Earth-Moon Sutan Federation, over a hundred years ago, there was a legend that circulated about a lonely doll.

According to experts, a horrific story used to be told among the Sutanese people back then.

There was an entity known as the lonely doll that liked to hide under people’s beds when they slept.

As someone fell asleep, it would sneak its hand out, grab onto the person’s hand, and pull them under the bed.

If they were pulled under without reacting in time, they would rapidly disappear, completely vanishing.’

’Experts speculate that the prototype of this lonely doll might be a black beast that frequently attacked humans in the area—the Fang Monkey. But I don’t think so.’

Rainbow Candy offered her judgment.

A photo was attached at the end.

Li Chengyi opened it to look.

It was a photo taken underneath a bed.

Underneath the brown wooden bed, a child with pallid complexion and black hair was curled up.

It was impossible to tell if it was a boy or a girl, just looking up at the camera with a sinister smile.

The current question was, out of these three, which one was the Blind Spot’s prototype?
