Blind Spot

Chapter 211: 199 Yunshan 3

"I can no longer sense Brother...."

In the Tightening Grasp of the Blind Spot.

Yserine reached out and gently touched the door.

This door was the boundary of the Blind Spot.

Once outside, she would enter the juncture of the Black Sea and reality. That place was unstable, with unpredictable changes likely to occur at any moment.

"Just ten minutes ago, I could still sense him..." a hint of worry crossed Yserine’s face.

She knew very well that her brother might have entered a very dominant Blind Spot.

The power of that Blind Spot had forcibly squeezed out the infiltration of the Tightening Grasp.

In theory, the Tightening Grasp was like a ship in the Black Sea.

And various Blind Spots were like docks, islands, or even continents.

She could dock there and conduct a shallow exchange.

But this time, the other side had forcefully rejected her contact and pushed her out as well.

"Please, let there be nothing wrong..." Yserine had been alone for far too long. Li Chengyi was right now the only real human being she could communicate with.

She didn’t want to continue in this dead silence, to become like a walking corpse in a Blind Spot, losing herself.

She had a feeling.

If she were forgotten again.

Forgotten by her brother.

Maybe this time, she would truly disappear completely.

"I must find a way..." Yserine stood her ground and pondered hard.

It wasn’t long before the image of the believer who had traded her the book came to mind.

This believer was not someone she had met for the first time; in reality, they had met several times before.

She had given him a warm name—Mr. Book.

Because he had many, many books.

"I’ll go to Mr. Book; maybe he can find a way."

Immediately, she turned around, dived under the bed, and wriggled toward the opposite bed’s underside.

The other side of the bed was shrouded in dark mist at this moment.

As she approached, the fog gradually dispersed, revealing a new bedroom scene.

Yunshan.

In the dense white fog.

Li Chengyi moved slowly, step by step forward, following the path beneath his feet.

As he walked, he kept a vigilant eye out for any potential occurrences around him.

The Wisteria Flowers’ Floral Dress had long integrated with his overcoat.

On the surface, he still looked like he was wearing the original black trench coat with its large hat.

But in reality, an invisible layer of Floral Dress protection had perfectly shielded him.

By now, the drain of the Floral Dress was so negligible that he could endure it for the whole day without disabling it.

With the amplification of his Inferior Shadow Dragon Bloodline, his physique had also significantly improved.

This little bit of stamina was negligible.

Tap, tap, tap...

The rhythmic footsteps echoed constantly across the path.

Despite Li Chengyi trying his best to reduce the noise, faint sounds still emanated.

Once the noise started, it seemed magnified by something, growing louder and spreading further and further.

It was hard to tell how far he had walked.

Gradually, Li Chengyi noticed the road underneath him slowly changing from a gray-black to a light white color.

He glanced up at the sky.

The sky remained covered in thick fog, leaving nothing visible.

The fog slowly thinned on either side, revealing some old buildings of varying heights.

The buildings on both sides acted like very wide walls, sandwiching the road that Li Chengyi was on.

He could see dense square windows on the houses.

These windows were draped with tangled old-style electrical wires.

Li Chengyi took note.

All these windows were open.

Out of each window flowed endless white smoke.

It was as if they were on fire.

’It seems this fog must have come from these.’ He speculated in his mind.

He continued forward.

Because the specific location of the Book of Record was unknown, their objective this time was to first explore the entire Blind Spot, map it out, and then determine the most likely places.

He went further forward.

Just then, from the left side of the street, suddenly came a series of delicate noises, as though some animal was breathing hard.

Li Chengyi looked to the side, but due to the fog, it was slightly unclear.

So, he moved closer in that direction.

As the distance shortened,

he saw a big yellow dog at the entrance of a small alley on the left side of the street, licking water from the ground.

The puddle on the ground, of unknown origin, was about half a meter wide and one meter long.

As the yellow dog’s large tongue lapped, the water’s surface rippled in waves.

The big yellow dog looked very cute.

Shiny round black eyes, a dark nose, the corners of its mouth curved upward as if smiling, its fur on the head a shade darker than on its neck.

Overall fluffy and seemingly friendly and adorable at first glance.

’Even dogs can be pulled into a Blind Spot?’ Li Chengyi’s eyebrows furrowed slightly.

He approached it without concealing the sound of his footsteps.

And it wasn’t long before the big yellow dog noticed him.

The dog raised its head, looked at him, and barked twice in a friendly manner.

Woof! Woof!

"Hello," Li Chengyi said, standing at the edge of the alley, sizing up the other.

This was a classic big yellow with very small ears and a round face.

Commonly in the countryside or outskirts, many people like to have one as a pet.

He just hadn’t expected to encounter this type in the Yunshan Blind Spot.

"Where’s your owner?" Li Chengyi asked.

Woof, woof!

The big yellow dog looked at him amicably and barked twice again.

Then,

it slowly emerged from the alley.

"!!!?"

As Da Huang emerged, Li Chengyi’s originally calm eyes quickly widened, his mouth slightly open, and his legs slowly began to retreat.

What came out of the alley wasn’t Da Huang’s body.

It was a huge sphere!

A yellow sphere.

A gigantic sphere of dog heads, all stuck together, a full six meters tall, made entirely of Da Huang’s heads!!

The immense shadow rolled over puddles, gradually enveloping Li Chengyi.

All the dog heads on the sphere looked exactly like the Da Huang he had seen just moments before.

A multitude of Da Huang’s eyes were fixed on him in a friendly gaze.

Woof woof woof woof woof....!!!

In an instant, a disorderly cacophony of barking erupted, so loud that Li Chengyi’s ears began to buzz.

Inside the Mingyuan bus.

"Where’s Brother Cheng?"

Rainbow Candy looked around, startled.

"He went in already?"

"I feel something’s not right," Da Xiong said softly. "Ever since we passed the toll station, I’ve felt a bit off. It’s like my body has suddenly become heavier."

"Me too," Xiao Zhong nodded in agreement. "I’ve checked the environmental data—temperature, humidity, radiation levels are all unchanged. But I just have this feeling that my body has become heavier."

"Is there any contact with other Blind Spot Individuals nearby? Ask them if they have felt any bodily changes," suggested Rainbow Candy.

"Sister Tang, haven’t you forgotten? After the Wolf Cave incident, nearly all the Blind Spot Individuals in the vicinity were cleared out, the rest fled elsewhere. This isn’t our area; there were already few people to begin with, even fewer Blind Spot Individuals," Xiao Zhong replied.

"So that means, in this area, apart from us, there likely aren’t any other Blind Spot Individuals? What about the residents within Yunshan?" Rainbow Candy asked somberly.

Suddenly, everyone looked at each other with unease.

"We haven’t actually encountered any local Blind Spot Individuals from Yunshan, have we?" Xiao Zhong said, puzzled.

"Wisteria Flowers," said Rainbow Candy with gravity.

"Understood, Master, searching for data on local Blind Spot Individuals from Yunshan now," the voice of AI Wisteria Flowers sounded.

Several seconds later.

The voice resumed.

"Search result: None. It has been many years since any Blind Spot Individuals have been reported in Yunshan County. Based on social media, announcements, public forums, and other channels, no suspected Blind Spot Individuals have been found."

"As I thought, there’s something wrong with Yunshan!" Rainbow Candy declared.

"Everyone..." She was about to continue when her expression suddenly turned blank.

"Where’s Dragon Gate Crane?"

Da Xiong and Xiao Zhong were also taken aback, looking around, but Dragon Gate Crane was nowhere to be seen.

"Gone... looks like he went in, too," said Da Xiong seriously. "It was so easy to enter, maybe an anomaly has indeed occurred in Yunshan, we must stay alert at all times."

"Mhm."

Xiao Zhong nodded solemnly.

The three exchanged glances, each reading the weightiness in the others’ eyes.

This was a large Blind Spot suspected of containing the Book of Record, completely different from previous Blind Spots.

"Remember we are to Flash Appearance, avoid conflict within, and focus on mapping out the terrain," Rainbow Candy reminded them one last time.

"Mhm!"

"Okay!"

As soon as the words fell.

Rainbow Candy’s vision blurred.

The other two had abruptly vanished without a trace.

It was as if the people who had just responded to her were all an illusion.

The bus was now completely empty, leaving her alone.

"Master, the personal locator signals for them have disappeared, confirming that they have entered the Blind Spot," the voice of Wisteria Flowers announced.

"Understood, if I also go in, you are in charge of coordinating the external deployment," said Rainbow Candy.

She reached into her pocket, pulled out a pair of tea-colored AR glasses and put them on.

Then she picked up the parcel given to her by Li Chengyi in one hand and carried a silver briefcase in the other.

"Understood," Wisteria Flowers responded clearly and concisely. "Additionally..."

Swoosh!

Before she could finish speaking.

There was no longer any sign of Rainbow Candy inside the bus.

The voice of Wisteria Flowers cut off.

A pause ensued.

"Wishing you a safe return, Master."

The vast yellow dog sphere rushed towards Li Chengyi, rolling and bearing down on him swiftly.

The plethora of barking created a noisy wave of sound that even caused the lighter trash on the ground to tremble with its vibrations.

Li Chengyi stood there as if petrified, unable to move.

Thump!

Suddenly, a figure dashed from the left, grabbing Li Chengyi’s arm.

"Run!!"

The figure said urgently.

Li Chengyi reflexively tried to shake off the grip but quickly suppressed the impulse and began to run with the other.

Through the foggy, empty streets.

The figure, wrapped in a tattered grey cloak, dragged Li Chengyi along, running wildly while scattering a mysterious grey powder behind them.

Something strange happened.

As the dog sphere picked up the scent of the powder, the dog heads began to lower and lick the powder off the ground.

Because of this licking, its chase slowed considerably.

The two ran wildly until they reached a street corner and hid behind a rusted, broken-down car before stopping.

Huff, huff, huff!

The person was gasping for air, appearing to have poor stamina.

"Do you... have anything to eat or drink?" she asked.

Only then did Li Chengyi realize this person was a woman. With her hair cut short and her face dirty, wrapped in a large grey cloak, she had been indistinguishable before.

"Yes." He fished out a piece of chocolate from his pocket.

Since they were just Flash Appearing, they hadn’t prepared much food or water, just some emergency supplies.

"Here." He passed the chocolate to her.

The woman snatched it eagerly, tore off the wrapper, and wolfed it down, nearly choking in her haste.
