Abyss Notes [Unlimited]

People who live in a "birdcage" can easily forget how many years they have spent here.Most days are repeat, repeat, repeat, and so are death and resurrection.

Arga also forgot.

But he still remembers well what it was like when he and his brother Arthur fell into the "trap".

It was a morning in early spring, they were riding horses to inspect their farm, and the roses all over the mountains and valleys sprouted new buds in the spring breeze, and the morning dew was refreshing.

At the beginning of a bumper and sweet year, they discussed redecorating the villa to welcome Alga's bride who was about to marry.

As they crossed the stream the horse fell, and they fell into a small black hole.

At that time, the brothers didn't know that this place was called "Zang Kong".

There is no such word in their language, and it takes a lot of effort to move the tongue and mouth to pronounce it accurately.

I don't know how long after that, they were tossed and turned 33 times in various cages.

No.30 four times, Algar thought they could also leave safely.

The original "birdcage" was a hunting ground.

There are weapons hidden in every corner of the hunting ground. After the game starts, people must immediately disperse to find weapons, or form an alliance, or act alone.

The aborigines hunted adventurers with weapons, or were hunted by adventurers in reverse.It was a simple game of life and death, like flipping a coin, heads and tails, life or death.

There is no other choice.

Not all Aboriginal people are willing to participate in such a killing game.Among the adventurers, the newcomers completely lost their fighting spirit.People died one by one, and the woods and streams were all dyed red.

After discussing with the rest of the adventurers, the Arga brothers decided to trace the cage owner in reverse.

With the help of the aborigines, the Arga brothers arrived at the residence where the cage owner was.

But the cage master knew their actions well, and Arthur unfortunately fell into a trap and his life was hanging by a thread.

The cage master gave Algar a choice: kill Arthur who was trapped in the trap, and the cage master would let everyone else go.

"I made a choice." Alga said, "Arthur decided to stay here in order to accompany me."

Liu Yingnian had already deciphered the general content of these things from the slate, but Yu Zhou didn't listen very carefully at first.But in the last sentence, he suddenly realized something was wrong.

"... Arthur is not dead?"

"No."

An astonishing thought flashed in Yu Zhou's mind, and he lost his voice: "... Arthur's identity is still an adventurer?!"

Alga nodded slightly: "As you can see, he is the only person in this 'birdcage' who has the chance to kill me and replace me at any time." After a pause, his voice became deeper: "And this person may have already gotten worse. It's getting clearer."

Alga had just become the cage owner at that time, and everything in the "birdcage" changed immediately with the replacement of the cage owner.But Arka himself didn't know what kind of "birdcage" he wanted. The "birdcage" at that time was chaotic.

The ground was filled with quicksand, and the river and the sky were black and red.The trees in the forest are shaking and laughing in the strong wind, the aborigines panic and panic, everything is melting and reconstructing, and the world is like a huge whirlpool.

This chaotic "birdcage" has suffered a lot for the aborigines and adventurers.The surviving adventurers were unwilling to stay here, and Arga told them to leave.

Only Arthur, who could leave but still decides to stay.

Because Alga was trapped in this eternal cage to save him.

Arthur gave Alga many suggestions, and they began to restore their previous living environment in the "birdcage": flower fields, houses, and landforms.

Everything gradually took shape.

They lived by the river, in a stone house that Arthur and Alga built with their own hands, and it was actually located in the center of the entire "Birdcage".

The world begins to take on a new look, fresh, beautiful, and peaceful.

New adventurers arrive one after another.The people who experienced thirty or forty "bird cages" were exhausted. This place full of roses and spring breeze was so beautiful that they decided to stay for a long time.

Adventurers willingly praise "Birdcage" and Arga.Alga had never received so many likes and praises, people greeted him, said goodbye, and one by one, they chose to jump off the Flying Star Cliff.

Then at the end of the night, crawl out of the lake clean.

As the number of people increased, so did the problems.

Alga and Arthur are young, and in the real world, they have titles and identities as a cover, which can be exchanged for the trust of others.But in the "Birdcage", these strangers from all over the world do not really trust and respect Algar.

After the short honeymoon period, people have more and more frictions with each other, as well as with Alga and Arthur.

Alga wasn't very good at handling it all.After several confrontations and disputes, Arthur made a suggestion to Alga: design a prison in the "Birdcage" to house those troublesome people who are disobedient and make them angry.

Alga was reluctant at first.He still missed the way the adventurers held his hand and thanked him repeatedly before jumping down.Arthur laughed at his naivety, and simply acted on his own.

After careful planning and design, Arthur took out the blueprint of "over there".A fiery purgatory, suitable for those who rebel against the cage master.

"Brother, you are the king, you have the right to dispose of everything." Arthur said to him.

Yu Zhou just listened quietly.

Yugan wanted to speak several times, but Fan Xing grabbed its tail, and it sensibly remained silent.

It wasn't completely dark outside the window.The flames of purgatory painted a golden red border on the top of the mountain, and the scattered lights lit up the night.Looking out from the window, you can clearly see Feixing Cliff at the foot of the mountain.

Yu Zhou was full of confusion and doubts.

Why can new adventurers join when there are adventurers in the "Birdcage"?Jiang Xiao didn't mention this detail, is this also the rule of "Birdcage"?

What were the identities of Alga and Arthur before they fell into the "trap"?What country and age are they from?Why the weird undecipherable script?

If Arthur really took the initiative to design Purgatory, why did Arga obey?No matter how enthusiastic Arthur is, as long as Alga refuses, Purgatory cannot appear in the "birdcage".

Algar's narration continued.

When did Arthur start to change, Alga couldn't remember clearly.

Argar is often attacked by the aborigines. They laugh at the ancient rules that Algar and Arthur have followed, such as they should avoid Algar and kneel when they see Algar, and the palace on the top of the mountain cannot be approached by anyone.

Tired, Alga began to live in seclusion.He stayed in his palace for a long time, and Arthur suggested that there were some things that had to be dealt with, and he could do it instead of Alga.

Alga thanked him.He didn't expect that Arthur was actually planning to replace him.

The restrictions on Argar began when Arthur called himself "King".First "King", then "Alga", Arthur is deeply obsessed with this stand-in game.

They are only one year apart in age, they look similar, and they dress up a little, which is easy to deceive.

Arga is trapped by iron chains and guards.The new "Algar" says: Arthur has gone mad and died.This statement is too easy to accept, after all, the least new thing in "Birdcage" is madness and death.

The painful "Arga" does not allow anyone to mention the name of his younger brother Arthur. The aborigines are afraid of the majesty of the king and carefully keep the secret, but the new adventurers don't even know that there is another "Arthur".They only know the only "Arga" in the kingdom.

Arga couldn't get in touch with more people, and she didn't know what her kingdom was like now.When he was imprisoned, the palace on the top of the mountain had not been fully built, only a rough shape was built.Arthur was too impatient, he was anxious to become king in his brother's "birdcage", and he didn't even have time to let Alga make everything perfect.

After Algier was imprisoned, he was discouraged, and all the construction of the "Birdcage" was suspended.

"Arthur wants to be the cage master. He's by my side, and he knows everything about how to design and build the 'birdcage'. But... he can't bring himself to kill me." Alga said, "If I die, I will die in Resurrection in the 'birdcage', at that time, he will face a brother who is full of hatred for him."

Yugan finally got the chance to speak, and summed it up hastily: "Because he loves you."

Alga chuckled: "Yes, he loves me."

After a brief silence, Fan Xing suddenly raised his little hand: "Can I ask a question? Wang."

He called it respectfully.

Alga nodded: "Yes."

His answer made Fan Xing narrow his eyes and smile.

He pointed to himself: "First of all, why am I getting smaller?"

Alga: "The cage owner can design his own rules in the 'birdcage', as long as the rules don't violate the basic principles of the 'birdcage'. My rule is, people who enter the 'birdcage', if I think you The threat is greater, and I will let you live as a child."

Fan Xing: "I've never heard of such a rule. Who gave you such power?"

Yu Zhou's heart skipped a beat: Fan Xing seemed to think that above the "bird cage", there were people who governed and controlled the cage owner.

Arga didn't continue to explain, as if she thought she had made it clear enough.

Before he showed dissatisfaction, Yu Zhou changed the question: "So, do you know how many of us entered the 'birdcage', and what kind of people we are?"

Alga nodded: "I can probably know, although it's not very clear."

Immediately afterwards, Fan Xing asked again: "You are the cage master, you can freely control what disappears and what appears in the 'bird cage'?"

Alga: "Yes."

Fan Xing pointed to his shackles: "Then why, don't you just eliminate this thing?"

Alga was taken aback.

Fan Xing pretended to be naive: "Doesn't it hurt?"

Alga didn't answer, his eyelids drooped slightly, and there was a chill in his eyes.

"Actually, you are willing, king?" Fan Xing smiled and said in a child's voice, "You are willing to be a 'king', willing to be put on a muzzle, veiled, and parade in front of everyone. You also I am willing to be imprisoned by Arthur in this palace, and Arthur will handle everything for you, as long as you stay in this room and be a 'bride' obediently."

The dark-haired young man was silent.

"What you are afraid of is not that he will kill you." Fan Xing said, "What you are afraid of is that he is the only person in this 'birdcage' who can leave."

Yu Zhou followed Fan Xing's train of thought.

As long as Alga is willing, he can get rid of Arthur's torture device at any time.But he didn't.

The entire "birdcage" is his, he can change the weather, keep the plants blooming undefeated, let alone get rid of an Arthur?

The only reason he doesn't get rid of it is: he doesn't want to get rid of it.

He wanted to be "the bride," to be Arthur's property.

It wasn't that Arthur was controlling him, or, quite the contrary.

It was he who wanted to be "the bride".It was he who wanted to hide in the palace, and it was he who let Arthur handle everything for him.It was Algar who trained Arthur to become "Algar".

In this beautiful country, there are two "kings".

The author has something to say:

Yugan didn't have a chance to speak today, and his mouth was itchy.

Jiang Xiao and Liu Yingnian were chatting about food, Dried Fish leaned over to listen, and answered inarticulately: I have eaten it too, I have eaten it too!

Jiang Xiao, Liu Yingnian: ...have you eaten it too? !

Dried fish: delicious, so delicious!Ah, I want to eat every day!

Jiang Xiao: We are talking about pickled cabbage fish.

Yugan: ...Uh huh?
