Chapter 359: Exposed Flaws

"Li Qi? What's wrong? Hurry up and go up. Don't be late. If you are late, Lao Zhao will deduct your bonus again."

Ma Chen didn't know what Li Qi beside him thought of at that moment. He looked at Li Qi's stunned look and reached out to pat his shoulder as a reminder.

Li Qi came back to his senses from the brief shock.

He stared at Ma Chen, and suddenly raised his hand and asked Ma Chen:

"Did you drop your wallet?"

He said, opening his hand to reveal Ma Chen's wallet.

Ma Chen looked at Li Qi in astonishment. He subconsciously touched his pockets and then quickly took the wallet:

"It was indeed I who dropped it, but when did I drop it? How come I don't know?"

"Maybe you were too fascinated by it just now. Who were you looking at? Meng Xiaoya?"

Li Qi said someone's name.

That was the name of a female colleague that Ma Chen liked.

Ma Chen couldn't help showing a bit of embarrassment on his face when he heard it: "...How could it be possible? Everyone knows that she is close to the manager. How dare I look at her casually?"

Not daring is not wanting.

Li Qi glanced at his colleague, his fingers flexibly moving.

Although his extraordinary abilities could not be used, those acquired through training were still there.

Some acquired martial arts that did not require strength, the tricks learned in the gambling world, the music skills and acting skills learned in the music world, these were things that nightmares could not take away.

The nightmare just blocked Li Qi's extraordinary abilities in some way, not really sealing all of Li Qi's abilities.

The evidence is that Li Qi can leave this nightmare at any time if he wants.

Although doing so may never return to this "dream town", it is still a way to leave here.

But now Li Qi has no intention of leaving.

He wants to see when this nightmare will end.

Following Ma Chen on the elevator, Li Qi came to the floor of his company and sat on the long-lost workstation.

At that moment, Li Qi seemed to have forgotten all the past and returned to the boring life of being a social animal.

He skillfully turned on the computer, opened the software to edit the file, and did the work that he had almost done to disgust him before.

Day after day, year after year.

During this period, Li Qi did not use the abilities he learned in other worlds. Whether it was tricks, music skills, or combat skills, they all seemed to be forgotten by him.

Li Qi was adapting.

He remembered that there was a very popular saying that the way to eliminate fear is to face it. Although this stalk was outdated for him at that time, the truth was right.

Only by facing the things that scare you can you become stronger.

It was not until now that Li Qi discovered that there was such a big loophole in his mind. If he didn't find a way to adapt to these, get used to these, and make up for the loopholes in his mind, if he encountered similar situations in the future, he would probably have big problems.

So Li Qi did nothing, immersed in this nightmare, and got used to these boring and annoying daily lives.

Gradually, Li Qi really adapted to this nightmare.

He seemed to have become a truly ordinary person, ordinary and unremarkable, going back and forth between home and the company every day, with no social activities outside the company, and no other entertainment activities except playing games after get off work.

Such an ordinary life is the life of most people in the world.

Li Qi was deep in a nightmare, with some inexplicable feelings in his heart. He suddenly realized that sometimes getting used to being ordinary, understanding being ordinary, and enjoying being ordinary... is also "extraordinary" in a sense.

He felt that the missing piece in his heart seemed to be gradually filling up.

Until...

When he was watching TV one night, a female ghost with disheveled hair and white clothes came out of the TV.

"Heh."

When he saw the female ghost crawling out of the screen, Li Qi was not afraid, but laughed.

He looked at the female ghost, as if talking to her, or as if talking to someone else:

"Seeing me enjoying this place so much, can't you help it? So you come up with this low-level way of fear to scare me?"

As Li Qi spoke, he drank the Coke in his hand, threw the discarded can into the trash can, and said with a smile:

"Besides, you know what I'm afraid of, that is, there is no extraordinary power in the world, and there is no way to get extraordinary power, but now... you have brought extraordinary power to me, so do you think I will still be afraid?"

As Li Qi spoke, a bright light flashed in his eyes. Under that light, the female ghost in front of him was like a pencil drawing erased by an eraser, disappearing in front of Li Qi little by little.

"You bring out ghosts and other things, which means that this world has extraordinary power, and this world has extraordinary power, which means that I can use extraordinary power, so..."

At this point, Li Qi's eyes suddenly turned cold, and he shouted in a shocking voice:

"Get out of here!"

The voice was like a huge bell, deafening.

The sound wave was like a crusher that destroyed everything it touched.

Endless darkness emerged again, but this time it could not get close to Li Qi!

Not only that, the darkness close to Li Qi was slowly disappearing and melting, like snow exposed to the sun!

When the darkness completely dissipated, a corner of the white dress appeared in the depths of the darkness.

Li Qi slowly raised his hand and grabbed the white dress. He seemed to raise his hand slowly, but in fact, he was in front of the white dress in an instant!

Li Qi, who had returned to his childish appearance, grabbed the white dress that appeared in the darkness with his small palm.

But the next moment, there was a "rip" sound, and the white dress broke in the middle, and everything after that disappeared into the darkness.

Only a corner of the white dress was left in Li Qi's hand.

Then, the darkness disappeared, the moonlight fell on Li Qi, and he appeared in the town again.

"You ran fast."

Looking at the white gauze dress in his hand, Li Qi smiled and curled his lips.

There was a bit of disdain in that smile.

Obviously, the person behind the scenes who controlled the strange object could always pay attention to the situation in the dream. She might not know what Li Qi's dream was or what his nightmare was, but she could tell whether Li Qi was still under her control.

So seeing that Li Qi turned a blind eye to the nightmare and even enjoyed it, she finally couldn't help but take action.

The method of attack was also very common, that is, to bring out the ghosts that most people fear the most, as a way to scare Li Qi.

But the result is also obvious.

When the opponent reveals a flaw, Li Qi will quickly seize that flaw and magnify it infinitely, thus giving the opponent a fatal blow!

This is indeed the case. If the opponent had not run fast, she might have been caught by Li Qi.

But it doesn’t matter even if she ran away. Li Qi has already caught her flaws, and then he just needs to find her.

Yes, find her.

Li Qi can be sure that the user of the strange object is in this town, and she is hiding among the "survivors" in the town. This may be because of the price of using this strange object, or because of some of her hobbies.

Anyway, among these people in the town, there must be her real body.

However, although he knew this, it was difficult for Li Qi to find her. After all, Li Qi had only heard her voice, but he didn’t know whether that voice was hers.

Even on the question of "she" or "he", Li Qi has not figured it out yet.

Maybe the voice that spoke to Li Qi before was just her disguise. It is very likely that ‘she’ is not a woman at all, but is using a female voice to mislead Li Qi.

It is also possible that she is a woman, but she uses a man’s identity in the town.

Because of these possibilities, Li Qi cannot determine the true identity of the person behind the scenes for the time being, but it doesn’t matter. As long as she is in this town, Li Qi will eventually catch her.

“I have memorized your breath. You’d better hide it well, otherwise…”

Grabbing the fragment of white dress in his hand, Li Qi crushed it into the purest spiritual consciousness and integrated it into his body.

This fragment of white dress is the manifestation of the spiritual will of the person behind the scenes. Li Qi has memorized the breath in it.

Therefore, as long as the person reveals a little flaw, Li Qi can catch him immediately.

As for before catching the person, Li Qi plans to have a good time with the person here.

Anyway, at present, they still have plenty of time.

…

Li Qi thinks that there is still plenty of time, but the person behind the scenes seems to be a little restless.

On the second day after Li Qi returned to the town, an accident happened in the town.

Someone died in the forest outside the town, and it was during the day.

Li Qi did not pay attention to the situation on the other side. Anyway, such a situation occurred in this area that was safe during the day and dangerous at night.

The mayor of the town, Vincent, immediately took this matter seriously.

Not only Vincent, but Lin Hui and Lisa also took this matter very seriously, because from entering the town to now, the law of "daytime is safe" has become common sense in everyone's mind.

No one would think that there would be accidents during the day.

But now someone died during the day, which means that the town is no longer absolutely safe during the day.

If this matter is not handled well, it will cause panic among everyone.

"How did Cole die?"

Coming to the woods outside the town, Vincent frowned and asked the first witness who found the dead.

That was a resident of the mansion, a college student in school uniform.

His name is Jamie. During the holiday, he followed his classmates to the ghost story town to find excitement, but he was trapped in the town and couldn't leave.

Jamie was a freckled young man with slightly curly hair. He looked at the corpse covered by a white cloth and said with trembling lips:

"I... I don't know. I was... I was exploring around with Eric and the others, and then... I saw his body! It wasn't me! It really wasn't me!"

Jamie trembled.

Vincent sighed when he heard this.

He didn't doubt that Cole's death was related to Jamie. It had nothing to do with whether he trusted Jamie, but because as long as he took a look at Cole's body, no one would doubt Jamie, the first person to discover it.

After all, the obvious marks of being bitten by some kind of beast could not be faked by humans.
