Abyss Notes [Unlimited]

The big man stepped on it so hard that Yu Zhou couldn't move, and he didn't know who the big man was talking to.

"Calm down!" Someone rushed up and pulled the big man away, "I was just guessing!"

After finally getting up, Yu Zhou quickly grabbed the backpack tightly in his hands.When the big man stepped on him, he tore the bag open, and the things fell all over the floor.

"Pervert? Big man, put a little girl's clothes and socks in the bag?!" The big man roared angrily, rushed up and kicked Yu Zhou again.

Yu Zhou didn't know where he was at all, let alone what offended this person, his head hurt like hell, he couldn't even refute, he just kept his head down to pick up things.

Someone reached out his hand, Yu Zhou was shocked, and immediately snatched back the thing he touched, and when he looked up, he met the person's eyes.

The person in front of him was carrying a greasy wind lamp, with a slender figure, and the backlit figure seemed a little scary at first glance.

Yu Zhou thought of the gesture of this man waving to him, and his heart skipped a beat.He thought he would see his rotten ex-boyfriend, but when he got closer, he realized that the other party was a strange young man about his own age.

This person has beautiful eyebrows and eyes, and he couldn't tell the difference between male and female for a moment. He smiled fleshly, but the smile couldn't soak into his eyes.His shoulder-length hair was black and smooth, and a few strands on his forehead swayed in the light of the lamp. The shadow of the hair fell into his eyebrows, and his eyes flickered in the light and darkness, making people frightened.

He held up the lantern to illuminate Yu Zhou's face, and looked at him carefully.

Yu Zhou immediately knocked down his lantern, the light source disappeared, and he heard the young man laugh.

This strange place and everything around was frightening, and he scrambled away from it.After the backpack was packed, he realized that the notebook the young man wanted to pick up was actually not his own.

It clings to Yu Zhou like nougat, and Yu Zhou can't get rid of it.

The surroundings are only dark except for the mist, and the mist is mixed with stench. In addition to the sound of pines, there is a faint sound of surging waves.

"...Who are you?" Yu Zhou mustered up his courage to ask, "What kind of place is this?"

No one answered.The young man who was watching him re-lighted the wind lamp and observed the stones on the ground with relish.

Including Yu Zhou, there are eight people here.After an awkward silence, someone raised their hand in greeting.Yu Zhou recognized his voice, it was the young man who had just pulled the big man away.

The young man didn't approach, but asked from a distance: "Did you also fall into the 'trap'?"

Yu Zhou has seen the scene of "Trapping" appearing on TV.

On the flat and quiet street, a huge black hole with a diameter of at least ten meters suddenly appeared.The ground and the crowd in the hollow seemed to be swallowed up, disappearing without a trace in an instant.

The hole was bottomless, and the exploration machines entered the subsidence, and they couldn't reach the bottom no matter what.Both humans and machines will eventually return to the surface due to the unbearable pressure and scorching temperature.

This kind of ground subsidence is called "cavity trap", and it has appeared frequently for decades.

No one knows how deep it is, no one knows why it's there.They are like fork-punched deep holes in cream that don't disappear, remain on the surface forever.

"... trapped?" Yu Zhou suddenly remembered what was on the radio: the city was trapped yesterday, and four people were missing.

"Thank you just now, what's your name?" Yu Zhou asked.

The two exchanged names, this young college student who was willing to talk to Yu Zhou was Liu Yingnian.

Just as he was about to ask in detail, Yu Zhou's ears hurt—the sound of the horn suddenly pierced the air.

With the horn, there were countless dull sounds in the dense fog, like a giant breathing, and the sound of water gurgling one after another.

Before Yu Zhou could react, the only girl among the eight suddenly got up and ran towards the direction where there was no sound.

She was like a signal, and everyone moved in an instant.Yu Zhou's character was cautious, and he still stood where he was. Liu Yingnian pulled him up: "Run! What Jiang Xiao is doing, just follow her!"

Before taking two steps, someone suddenly grabbed Yu Zhou's backpack from behind.Yu Zhou was dragged back, and then - a thick tentacle suddenly fell down in front of his eyes!

Amidst the exclamation, the tentacles flew past Yu Zhou's face.Dazzling lightning lit up the sky, and the tentacles were like octopus claws, but covered with dense barbs.The electric light reflected the blood-red mucus on the barb clearly, and the stench made Yu Zhou take another step back, and immediately realized that someone was sticking to him behind him.

"So active?" Someone said behind him.

It was the young man who had just lifted the wind lantern, holding Yu Zhou's backpack with one hand.When Yu Zhou had time to pay attention to him, he pulled the man to roll on the spot.

"Oh?" The young man smiled.

Yu Zhou couldn't hear what he said clearly, his tentacles hit the positions where the two of them were standing just now, and quickly retracted.Countless climbing sounds rustled in the fog, and the panting and breathing of wild beasts mixed together, booming.Yu Zhou got up and ran forward, the young man followed him closely.

"I don't dislike people who throw themselves into my arms." The man said while running, without panting at all.

There were two screams from behind.Yu Zhou turned his head, and the last two were caught by giant hands. In the thick fog, several strange faces opened up, and their long tongues were like snake letters.

Yu Zhou was petrified, only one thought remained in his mind: run!

There is no sense of distance and no sense of direction. A group of people ran for an unknown distance. Light seeped faintly from the thick fog, and the faint morning light cut out the tall and thin outline of the tower.

With the tower as the center, a quiet town appeared in front of everyone, and the sign with the words "Foghorn Town" crackled in the bad wind.

The moment he stepped into the town, the roar disappeared, and Yu Zhou could smell the salty sea breeze.

Looking back, there is still a thick black mist outside the town, but the monsters in the mist have disappeared without a sound, and they have all receded.

Yu Zhou ran too fast and knelt on the ground gasping for breath.Liu Yingnian's physical strength was even worse than his, and he lay down slowly under the scolding of the big man, and whispered "fuck".

"This is... the third time..." He gasped and laughed, but the laugh was worse than crying, "Before you came, we have been attacked by monsters in the fog three times... Fortunately, there is Jiang Xiao, She reacts very quickly, follow her and run, she can escape."

Jiang Xiao was observing the surrounding situation.

She looks immature, about sixteen or seventeen years old, but her expression is far more indifferent and dignified than that of adolescence.Yu Zhou looked carefully: the white shirt and plaid skirt worn by Jiang Xiao was obviously a school uniform, and the school logo could be faintly seen on the coat tied around his waist.

Sensing Yu Zhou's gaze, Jiang Xiao turned his head and glanced at him.Yu Zhou lowered his head before their eyes met: he is not used to it, and he doesn't like to look at people.

The residents of Wujiao Town cleaned and greeted themselves, and no one paid any attention to the few intruders who were panting.

The irritable man suddenly grabbed Jiang Xiao: "Who the hell are you? How do you know there is such a place in the fog?"

There were six people who broke into Wujiao Town, including Yu Zhou, and Jiang Xiao was the only girl.

But no one made a move to stop the man.

What he asked was exactly what confused everyone.

Jiang Xiaoshou was almost picked up by him, but his face was calm: "Play a few times, and you will know where is the way to live and where is the way to die."

"...Play? Play what?"

"Game." Jiang Xiao pulled the big man's hand away, patted his clothes as if he thought it was dirty, "Welcome to the 'Birdcage'."

Wujiao Town is a nearly circular seaside town with a very small area. The most eye-catching building is the tall tower in the center of the town. The houses are built close to the edge of the town and surround the tower.

There are no more than a hundred residents in the town, and the buildings and people's clothes in the town seem to all stay in the 80s.Mobile phones, telephones, computers, all modern tools are nowhere to be found here.

This is a closed and eccentric town.The dense fog lingers all day long, and it floods the entire Wujiao Town, and the faint stench wraps people tightly.

Jiang laughed and said, this is a "birdcage".

Jiang Xiao was also the one who fell into the void, but much earlier than Liu Yingnian and others.She doesn't want to talk about her own affairs, and only emphasizes one thing: if you want to leave here, you must find out the puzzles hidden in the "birdcage" as soon as possible.This is the only way out.

Yu Zhou has seen many speculations on the Internet: what is "Trapping", where does "Trapping" lead to, why "Trapping" suddenly appears...

This is an important topic that has been talked about all over the world during the decades when the Internet has flourished.

Many people believe that the "trap" is actually a miniature wormhole: it connects reality with another dimension, and those who fall into the "trap" do not die.

In response to this speculation, related novels and movies emerged one after another, and Yu Zhou even watched them.

But he never expected that the speculation turned out to be true.

After walking around Wujiao Town, Yu Zhou worried about doing what he was best at: scouting spots.

Yu Zhou guessed that "Zangkong" must have also appeared in the bus shelter, so he came here out of nowhere.

What worries him the most is not how he will go back, but Jiu Jiu.

Jiujiu was still in the bus shelter, the rain was so heavy, she was so small, and there was only that weird "big uncle" who had rotted around.

Biting his nails subconsciously, Yu Zhou stood still in the center of Wujiao Town.In front of him, a tall tower was surrounded by clouds and mist.A huge windmill can be seen faintly at the top of the tower.

"Are you always like this?"

A voice rang in his ears very softly, and Yu Zhou was startled.It was the overly handsome young man who approached and spoke to him.

"What?" Yu Zhou rubbed his ears and jumped a few steps away in an instant.

"It's always like this, are you overly vigilant about everything?" The young man walked up to him, "I saved you too, why didn't you ask my name?"

Yu Zhou should not.

The young man took his hand with great strength and forced to write on his palm: "Remember, my name is..."

Yu Zhou struggled to get away, while wiping his hands vigorously on his clothes, he ran towards Liu Yingnian who was beckoning.

The pretty weird man laughed behind him and said, "Many friends lead to many paths."

Liu Yingnian's backpack contained dry food and water, as if it had been prepared long ago.

He enthusiastically shared the biscuits with Yu Zhou.Seeing that Liu Yingnian didn't intend to explain, Yu Zhou stopped asking.

Unexpectedly, Liu Yingnian spoke first: "I have to apologize to you."

Yu Zhou quietly waited for his next sentence.Liu Yingnian scratched his head and saw Yu Zhou started eating biscuits, so he whispered, "It was me talking nonsense that caused you to be beaten by that person."

Yu Zhou remained silent: he had wanted to ask a long time ago.But the situation was unclear and everyone was weird, so he kept silent knowingly.

It turned out that before Yu Zhou arrived here, Liu Yingnian and others had already stayed in the thick fog for a while.They were attacked by monsters three times successively, so they could only run around with Jiang Xiao.

Everyone has entered a state of numbness.Liu Yingnian began to guess wildly how to leave.

"I said, maybe the next person who appears is the culprit that got us into this horrible situation. If we can kill him, maybe we can return to reality."

Yu Zhou: "...I'm so lucky."

Liu Yingnian bowed quickly: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"

Yu Zhou didn't like to interact with people, and even less liked to have conflicts, so he whispered, "Forget it."

He thought of the two men who had been eaten.He didn't even see what those two people looked like. Apart from shock and sadness, fear overwhelmed everything else.

"In fact, someone went back from the trap." Liu Yingnian said, "Do you want to know?"

Yu Zhou felt that this person was long-winded and troublesome, but he quickly made himself look curious: "Yeah, I want to know."

"The way to go back is..."

Liu Yingnian gestured on his neck with his hands.

On June 2009, 6, an inarticulate and confused stranger appeared at the gate of the sewage treatment plant in Taiyuan, Shanxi.

According to data records, although this person can speak, every expression is fragmented and the semantics are unclear.He is full of fear and distrust of the outside world. Although he can understand what others say, he seems unable to understand it, let alone answer questions.

The rescue station took the man back. After the lights were turned off that night, he left the room and walked rhythmically back and forth in the corridor in a strange posture, "like a wind-up toy."

Any sound would startle him, and he would quickly curl up into a ball, tilt his head, eyes widen, and remain motionless for a long time.

The one in the monitor is not like a person, but a bird.

Liu Yingnian is good at telling stories. He quickly finished and added: "I don't know what method they used, but I got some information after asking. He said that he cut his own neck before returning to reality." of."

Yu Zhou was startled: "Can I go back after I die?"

Liu Yingnian: "I'm not sure, but there are indeed such records."

Yu Zhou: "How do you know?"

Liu Yingnian smiled: "It's related to work."

He got up to say goodbye, and gave Jiang Xiao the dry food.Jiang Xiao didn't accept his gift and waved his hand casually.

Looking at Liu Yingnian's back, Yu Zhou remembered that he had a small knife in his backpack, which was used for peeling fruit for Jiu Jiu.

He took out the pocket knife and popped the blade.The blade is thin and sharp, which can easily cut the skin of the neck.

Jiujiu, Jiujiu who was alone in the suburbs, Jiujiu who fell ill in the rain.

Yu Zhou squeezed the handle of the knife tightly and raised his head.The Adam's apple twitched, and the sensitive skin felt a slight tingling when it touched the cold and hard blade.
