Chapter 1 The Hole in the Corner of the Basement(1/2)

As a "Li Pi", Gu Xing rented a basement in an apartment in Li Metropolis.

One night, Gu Xing returned home after work overtime and found that there was an extra hole as thick as a finger on the wall on one side of the basement close to the floor tiles.

I lay at the entrance of the cave for a while and saw a little light inside, but I couldn't see the specific scene clearly.

Could it be that the young couple next door accidentally chiseled the wall while nailing nails or punching holes?

It's really ridiculous to punch holes to such a position.

The sound insulation in the basement is generally not very good, and any movement next door can be heard.

Especially on some quiet nights, the girl's not very restrained screams will be heard, which will last for a long time. For a young man like Gu Xing who has been single for many years, it is really unfriendly.

Gu Xing endured it for a long time and must take this opportunity to negotiate righteously today.

"Dong!Dong!Dong!"

"Who?"

“Next door.”

"It's so late, is there anything wrong?"

"I'm really disturbing, but it's better to explain some things clearly tonight."

"squeak--"

The man opened the door, yawning, "What's so anxious?"

"Sorry, I want to ask, did you two make holes in the wall today?"

"Dig a hole?"

The man looked confused.

"That's it, wavy--" Gu Xing gestured with his right hand into the shape of an electric drill, imitating the sound of the electric drill, and drilled towards the wall next to it, "wavy--"

"Oh..." The man understood and turned his head to look at the woman hiding in the quilt in the room, "Hey, did you drill a hole today?"

The woman shook her head.

"I'll just say it," the man looked at Gu Xing, "Are you getting something wrong?"

"I'm really sorry, but I want to go inside and take a look." Gu Xing pointed to the wall inside the house: "Because there is a hole in my wall for no reason, I have to find the reason to be at ease."

The man looked a little embarrassed, and the woman smiled, "It's understandable, then let's see, there's nothing inconvenient."

Gu Xing walked into the room. The woman wrapped in a quilt and sat on the bed like a rice dumpling, looking at Gu Xing with a curious expression.

Gu Xing guessed that the scenery under the quilt must be much better than outside.

Although he has been a neighbor for several months, this is the first time Gu Xing has seen a woman due to his different schedules.

It is very different from what Gu Xing once guessed. Even in a state of bare face, a woman's face is delicate enough, and her long eyelashes can be seen clearly between two or three meters. Her eyes are big and beautiful, and her eyes are very calm and generous.

It's ridiculous that such a woman is willing to live in the basement.

For polite reasons, Gu Xing's eyes only stayed on the woman's face for a moment, then turned his attention to the walls adjacent to the two rooms and carefully scanned them.

There were some stains and scratched black marks on the walls, but there was no sign of holes.

"I'm really sorry, I'll disturb you so late."

After the inspection, Gu Xing hurriedly said goodbye.

"It's okay, I've been a neighbor for a while and I've never visited him," the man stood at the door, "Or sit down and have a tea and chat casually."

"Uh... I'll have to get up early to work tomorrow."

"That's a pity, we'll visit you someday."

“Welcome…”

It took a vain trip and was treated politely and patiently.

In guilt, Gu Xing didn't have the nerve to remind the other party to be as quiet as possible when he was creating a person in the future, or to adjust the time period, either choose during the day or start work while the neighbors are not asleep at night.

When he returned to his basement, Gu Xing looked at the hole and wondered, if it wasn't for the neighbors to dig the hole, what would it be? The insects were decayed? The insect's teeth were really good.

Gu Xing lay down again and looked at the entrance of the cave for a long time. Since the small cave did not open to the head home, it means that the end of the cave is inside the wall, but why is there light?

Gu Xing thought for a while, and put his finger into the hole and explored it.

If there are bugs, just kill them with one finger.

If you are unfortunately bitten by a poisonous insect, call the first aid phone number. Maybe you may also obtain some amazing special abilities. This is how it is written in comics and online novels. It is said that a blessing in disguise.

Gu Xing stretched all his fingers in, without insects, and the hole was empty.

But the touch felt very wonderful, and a slight numbness came from the fingertips, as if a thin film was pierced, and then it felt cool and numb.

Gu Xing lay on the ground, relaxed all over, and the fatigue of the whole day was washed away by the pleasure from his fingertips.

It was also like an electric car was inserted into the charging pile, and a steady stream of energy poured into the body.

Soon, Gu Xing forgot everything, lay on the floor, and fell asleep unknowingly.

When he woke up again, it was unknown how long it had passed. Gu Xing was still lying on the ground, and his body was a little numb when he was close to the floor.

After lying on the floor for so long, the humid air in the basement did not make Gu Xing feel uncomfortable all over. This was really a bit surprising.

The lights in the house are shaky, without any experience of time passing.

This is a common problem in the basement, where there are no windows to show the changes in the sky to the homeowner.

Gu Xing looked up at the watch,

"Not good, I'm going to be late."

He pulled out his fingers, feeling an indescribable sense of separation, as if he pulled his finger back from another world, crossed the barrier of time and space, and had goose bumps all over his body.

"It's simply a devil..."

Gu Xing got up, washed up briefly, tidied up his clothes, and went out.

During the period when you are not at work, Gu Xing likes to wear hooded sweatshirts. If you don’t want to pay attention to others, you can wear hooded hoods at any time, as if you are isolated from the whole world. There is only one space inside the hat, and it doesn’t matter if the sky and the earth are broken outside the hat.

The basement passage today seems a bit strange. Neighbors who are rarely seen usually emerge from the snail houses and walk outside noisy.

The couple next door also walked out and followed the abortion in their pajamas.

"Good morning, isn't this our neighbor," the man giggled and waved to Gu Xing, "By the way, I haven't asked for the name Gao yet."

"Gu Xing, wake up."

"It doesn't look like the name of my own people."

"It's a bit strange, but it's my parents."

"My name is Takaichi Kawamura," Takaichi pointed at his beautiful girlfriend beside him, "She is Chiyo Hasegawa."

"I'm very happy to meet." Chiyo smiled.

“So too,” it would be even better if the night wasn’t so noisy.

Gu Xing quickly moved his eyes away from Chiyo's face and looked at the abortion, "What's going on? The earthquake happened?"

"You didn't read the news?"

"I just got up and was almost late, so..."

Longyi took out his cell phone, clicked on a video, and handed it over to Gu Xing.

On the video, it seems that a certain piece of news was recorded, and the festive and peaceful scene of the cherry blossom festival in the suburbs was reported.

Suddenly, the picture changed and it switched back to the studio.

The female anchor looked serious,

[Below, insert a message from this station just received.

At 23:34 pm Dongdu time, a strange phenomenon appeared above the center of Lidu City. A huge finger fell from the sky and pointed directly at Lidu Central Park...]

"You said it was outrageous," Long Yi said twice. "It's April Fool's Day yet. If this is not the news from Lidu TV, I would doubt who is playing a prank."

Gu Xing watched the video and opened his mouth wide.

The female anchor's clear pronunciation was vague and twisted in his ears for some reason.

...

Gu Xing followed the crowd to the outside of the basement.

Long Yi was beside Gu Xing, looking at the huge finger on the mobile phone video, while muttering in his ear, "Gu Xingjun, look at this finger looks pretty white and beautiful, will it be a woman's hand?"

But his girlfriend Chiyo said, "I'm sure it's a man."

"Why?"

"Women's intuition."

"Oh, I understand, is it the intuition you chose me as a boyfriend?"

"cut."
