There was no sound around. Although the wall clock showed 12:30 a.m., which should be a quiet time, this was not normal. For Xiaoyi, even the smallest sound could be captured by his sensitive ears. The sound of water pipes, the footsteps of patrolling security guards, and even the snoring of guests in the guest rooms on both sides of the corridor should have formed a low-decibel symphony in the boy's ears along the floor and air at this time. But now, Xiaoyi heard nothing.

The boy did not dare to release the black silk to test, but walked through the corridor, walked to the outside of Huo Li's room, knocked on the door and shouted: "Huo Li! Huo Li!"

However, there was no response from inside the room, only the sound of the boy knocking on the door echoed in the empty corridor. The boy tried hard to pry the door handle, but the door was locked and could not be opened at all. The boy raised his voice and shouted: "Huo Li, are you in there?"

Still no response. The boy wanted to take out a pistol from the system space, but he couldn't take it out! Although the objects in the space had lost their connection with him, Xiaoyi felt that he could still take out the black silk from it, but he could not control them to synthesize organic matter in the space as usual. The 120,000 tons of black silk were like the numb legs of a paralyzed patient.

Maybe after taking them out, they could reestablish the connection? But the boy did not dare to act rashly. Instead, he turned around and untied a small piece of wire used to fix the shape from the bonsai branches in the corridor, and began to roughly pry the lock. After a while, the boy, who had no experience in unlocking, pried open the door lock with a click after leaving a bunch of messy scratches. The boy gently turned the door handle and pushed the door open. There was no one in the house.

Xiaoyi didn't turn on the light, because he could clearly see that there was no one on the bed in the middle of the room through the dim cold light in the corridor, and it was impossible for Huo Li to go to the bathroom quietly in the dark at this time. The boy walked to Huo Li's bed, looking at the sunken pillow in the middle and the messy quilt, but where was he?

Xiaoyi walked out of Huo Li's room slowly, and didn't pry the locks of each room one by one. He had just made such a big noise, if there was someone in the room, he should have come out to find out. But until now, every room in the entire corridor was still closed.

Xiaoyi didn't dare to take the elevator, but ran down the stairs to the hotel lobby, but there was no one there either. The front desk staff and security guards on duty seemed to have disappeared without the boy noticing. However, the red numbers on the clock in the lobby changed: 00:47,

17 minutes had passed.

At this time, a slight vibration reached the boy's ears. It was a car! A car was passing by on the street! Xiaoyi hurriedly ran to the street, but the boy was not sure whether the cameras in the entire city were filming, so he did not dare to change into an alien. When the boy in short sleeves and shorts ran to the street, the car had already disappeared. Xiaoyi stood on the street

and looked at the empty street under the night sky. What happened? Is the whole neighborhood caught in a vicious circle? Is it possible to get out of this area by following the normal cars?

Xiaoyi just stood quietly on the street, trying to catch the slightest vibrations around him. The boy felt that he had waited for about 20 or 30 minutes, and the sound of another car driving finally came again. The boy looked at the end of the left side of the road and waited. After a while, a silver-gray car finally drove over!

The boy was not happy about finally connecting with the normal world, and his hanging heart fell to the bottom again: there was no one in the cabin of the silver-gray car!

The boy could clearly see that the steering wheel in the driver's seat was controlled by an invisible hand, turning slightly from time to time to adjust the direction. Xiaoyi suppressed the vague uneasiness in his heart, and when the car whizzed past him, the boy leaped up, holding on to the roof of the car with both hands and hanging on the side of the car. Then he smashed the passenger window with his knees, and then slid into the car with his legs slightly curled up.

The boy sat in the seat of this driverless car, turned his head to look at the driver's seat next to him, stepped on and off the accelerator, and even occasionally stepped on the brake automatically. The whole car was no different from the car driven on the road by a driver, except... there was no one!

The boy sat quietly in the car, picked up a piece of broken glass with his right hand without leaving any trace, gently scratched the soft skin on the inside of his arm, and then put the glass into his pajama pocket.

Then he looked out the car window at the surrounding streets. There were very few shops open all day with lights on, and one or two residents sleeping late in the residential buildings on both sides from time to time. Occasionally, one or two private cars and buses passed by on the street. Everything was no different from an ordinary city night scene.

15 minutes later, the car turned into a residential area and drove towards the underground garage. Xiaoyi didn't dare to follow it to the closed area underground, so he had to open the door and jump out of the car, walking along the original route to the hotel.

However, the road seemed even quieter than the way here. For nearly an hour, Xiaoyi did not see any cars. The traffic lights that had been changing on time on the way here seemed to be frozen, showing a red or green color. Xiaoyi walked back to the hotel lobby and immediately looked at the electronic clock on the wall: 01:03.

It should have been daytime, but it was dark. People suddenly disappeared, and the weird clock... How could he make everything return to normal? After the boy lost contact with 99% of his body, his IQ dropped to the limit. Xiao Yi shook his head and quickly walked back to his floor. Huo Li's room door was still half open. The boy walked through the silent corridor, returned to the room, closed the door, lifted the quilt, went to bed, and then found a comfortable angle to close his eyes: Never mind, let's sleep! The boy,

who had been tired for several days in a row, actually fell asleep again on the big bed in the hotel. Perhaps the body of the newly replaced 14 or 15-year-old boy needed more sleep. The boy only felt that he was dreaming one after another. Occasionally, he raised his eyes slightly when he was half asleep and half awake, and then fell asleep again when he saw that it was still dark. It was not until the boy felt that he had spent a long time that he was awakened by a knock on the door:

"Sister-in-law! It's 7 o'clock, get up!" Liu Mo shouted from outside the house.

Xiaoyi got up with a start and saw the golden morning light shining on the roof opposite the window. The sky had turned light blue.

"2d14?"

"Host, you are awake! Are we going to buy a hospital today?" The system's voice rang in the boy's mind.

"What happened last night!" the boy asked.

System 2d14 was a little confused: "What? Host, you have been sleeping all the time?"

"It was when the electronic clock showed 12:30!"

System 2d14: "Host, what are you talking about? You were sleeping with your eyes closed at around 12 o'clock last night. I am your system and can only see what you see. I can't see the clock!"

Xiaoyi felt that he was talking at cross purposes, so he jumped out of bed and ran out the door in his pajamas. He pushed the door open and ran to Huo Li's room. He turned the doorknob and went in. Huo Li, who was several years younger, looked at the boy in surprise with his blue eyes, while reaching for his shirt. The young version of Huo Li was standing against the light in the morning light, wearing only trousers. His smooth muscles and handsome face were as beautiful as an oil painting.

But Xiao Yi had no intention of appreciating these. Instead, he asked eagerly, "Did you feel anything strange at 12:30 last night?"

"What's wrong, Xiaoyi?" Seeing that the boy was not joking, Huo Li also became serious, "I didn't feel anything."

"You mean you slept in bed all night last night?" The boy asked, walking to the bed and carefully observing it: the same sheets and quilt he saw yesterday, but the dent on the pillow had been flattened by Huo Li.

Huo Li: "I slept in bed from 11 o'clock to 6 o'clock in the morning yesterday without getting up. Even if there was something strange within a few square kilometers when I was asleep, I would definitely notice it. But I didn't feel anything strange all night last night."

"But I came to your room at 12:30 yesterday, and there was no one there." The black-haired boy said, and then told Huo Li a series of strange things he encountered last night.

Huo Li put on his shirt, walked quickly to the door and squatted down to examine it carefully, "Xiaoyi, according to your description, this door should have been pried open by you. But look, the door lock is very smooth, without a single scratch, and no one has touched it before I opened it this morning. Also, where is the piece of glass?"

The boy touched his empty pajama pocket, as if everything that happened last night was just a dream, and what was happening now was the real fact.

Huo Li looked at the silent boy, stood up and shouted in the corridor: "Mr. Liu, Miss Alena and others, come to my room immediately! Little Philip and I want to discuss today's hospital purchase plan with you!"

20 minutes later, the eight people gathered in Huo Li's room. After listening to the boy's narration, everyone looked at each other and didn't quite believe it.

"I didn't go there last night!"

"I'm a light sleeper. If Xiaoyi made such a big noise in the corridor, I would definitely hear it." Britney said.

"To be honest, I didn't watch TV properly for a long time last night, so I watched it until 2 o'clock before going to bed," said a pale-faced boy standing next to him with a simple smile, "If Xiaoyi had come into the hallway at that time, he should have heard the TV in my room, after all, I live opposite Laoda." Dali said.

"Sister-in-law, you didn't have a nightmare last night, did you?" Liu Mo, who was wearing the skin of middle-aged uncle Xie Ding, said.

The black-haired boy smiled embarrassedly and said, "Maybe! Maybe I was too sleepy. Let's start today's plan and don't waste time."

Huo Li was a little surprised that the boy no longer insisted on his approach. After a few seconds, he said, "Today, the eldest and youngest masters of the Philip family will go to the Fandu Auction House accompanied by the family assistant to exchange the useless things in the space for start-up funds. Because this is a private action of the two young masters, the Philip family did not invest. Today, Liu Mo and Alena will go to the auction house with us. The rest of the people will choose the address of the hospital, as far away from government departments as possible, but the location must be in a prosperous area and a closed space; if these three conditions are met, money is not a problem."

"Okay, boss, leave it to us!" Britney said.

Then several people rushed out with great confidence and began to prepare for the next move. No one took the boy's "nightmare" seriously.

Just as the boy walked out of the room, Huo Li's voice came into his mind: "Xiao Yi, did you... not say anything just now?"

The boy glanced at the small piece of wire wrapped around the potted plant in the corridor. Every rust mark on it was exactly the same as what he had specially noted last night.

"A very powerful enemy," Xiao Yi answered consciously, hiding his arm with a slightly bleeding red mark, "but I don't know who he is."
