Abyss Notes [Unlimited]

Xie Bai was once Yu Zhou's sufferer.

Yu Zhou was stealing on the subway, and as soon as he reached into the pocket of Xie Bai's coat, Xie Bai stopped him.

Xie Bai didn't hand him over to anyone, but kept holding his wrist tightly, pressing his hand in his pocket, not letting Yu Zhou move an inch.Yu Zhou bared his teeth and threatened him, Xie Bai said lightly: If you move again, I will call the police.

The subway runs from the most crowded station to the terminal airport.

Passengers came and went on the road, and everyone was watching the two men standing at the door holding hands.Both of them were wearing masks, and luckily they were wearing masks. Yu Zhou's face was flushed with embarrassment, and he didn't dare to lift his head.He squinted at Xie Bai, but Xie Bai was calm, without any emotion in his eyes, he only glanced slightly when he noticed Yu Zhou's gaze, as if looking at and contemplating.

Yu Zhou has never been to the airport, and Xie Bai is not a passenger.In the airport subway station, Xie Bai asked him the first question: how old are you?

Yu Zhou was 19 years old at that time, his hair was dyed half red and half yellow, and most of it had faded.White T-shirt and jeans, and a small nylon bag.Xie Bai flipped through his bag, which contained 16 yuan and [-] cents, and half an unfinished steamed stuffed bun.

Yu Zhou became angry with embarrassment, snatched the bag back from Xie Bai, turned around and ran away.Xie Bai grabbed him and treated him to a meal.

Even now, Yu Zhou still doesn't understand why Xie Bai, who is a teacher in an overseas study consulting agency and has a decent job, is so fond of a little thief like himself.

Of course, Xie Bai was not called Xie Bai at that time.He told Yu Zhou that his name was Bai Jing and he was a bank employee.

Yu Zhou saw her boyfriend's real name, identity, and company in the missing persons report.A year ago, Xie Bai fell into a "trap" and has since disappeared.

When we meet again, it will be the half-rotten humanoid skeleton that Yu Zhou saw.

So now Xie Bai is standing in front of him intact, white and rosy, and he is so affectionately clasping his shoulders, calling his name——Yu Zhou subconsciously trembles: this is instinctive fear.

Xie Bai's voice calling him was still full of emotion, like the tone he would call every time they reunited after a long absence, when they hugged and made out.

Yu Zhou only felt scared.

Xie Bai gave him the business card of "Bai Jing", an employee of a certain bank's corporate business department, with contact information, job title, and his work permit, which is a neat two-inch headless photo with the bank's seal half-pressed on the photo.There are always many documents in Xie Bai's house, and Yu Zhou secretly flips through them, many in English that he can't understand, and occasionally there are contracts in Chinese, most of which are about company loans and other things.

Xie Bai didn't stop him from reading it, but as soon as he found Yu Zhou looking through the contract, Xie Bai would come over, put the contract away gently, give Yu Zhou a kiss, and change the topic with other things.As time passed, Yu Zhou stopped touching his things.

Every time he passed by Xie Bai——Bai Jing's work place, Yu Zhou would always send him a message and ask him maliciously: Shall I find you?

Xie Bai replied: Yes.

But Yu Zhou was always just asking.Xie Bai said he was sensible and measured, Yu Zhou knew it was a compliment, and of course it was also a reminder.

Yu Zhou is ready to play with Xie Bai and leave.Xie Bai was his serious first love and first boyfriend, who taught him many things.But such a person will not have any long-term relationship with the thief.

It was only intermittent, there were disputes and quarrels and reconciliation, and it dragged on for three years.Yu Zhou gradually began to believe that to Xie Bai, he must be special.He began to cross the boundaries he had drawn for himself, and for the first time tried to imagine the "future" of the two.

Unfortunately, the lie was caught off guard.

Yu Zhou remained motionless and did not respond to Xie Bai's call.Xie Bai let go, and stroked his hair like in the past: "You too... You came too."

Dried Fish jumped to Yu Zhou's side and yelled, "Go away!"

Xie Bai couldn't see it, only Yu Zhou's ears hurt from its sound.

He rubbed his ears, taking this opportunity to get rid of Xie Bai's control.

"Teacher Xie Bai." Yu Zhou behaved well and greeted Xie Bai in Ji Chunyue's way.

Xie Bai was startled, quickly adjusted his expression, and nodded his greetings to everyone one by one.

The rest of the people were full of gossip, and they refrained from asking.Fan Xing's eyes swept across Xie Bai from head to toe, and finally fell on his face.

This person has a face that makes people unable to get angry, but Fan Xing doesn't like it.

Let's get to the point, Xie Bai first introduces himself to everyone.

In the real timeline, he fell into the "trap" for only one year.

But according to Xie Bai, he has been in the "birdcage" for five years.He arrived at this "birdcage" named "Plasse" three years ago and never left.

Plasse is a boundless continent, facing the sea in the west and high mountains covered with snow in the east, which is where they are now, named "Pride Field".Going south, the land shattered and formed countless islands in the sea, which they called the Land of Starfall.

And to the north, where the legendary Cage Lord is located, is a long and narrow black rift valley, at the end of which there is an abyss faintly visible.

The monster named "Reaper" was born from the abyss.Their bodies are very huge, like black human figures, patrolling the Praser Continent.

Xie Bai unfolded a map.

This is a detailed map drawn during his three years of traveling around the continent of Praser. In the Rift Valley to the north, there is a red circle.

"The cage master should be here." Xie Bai said, "I was near the rift valley, and I saw a team of reapers move towards the rift valley, and finally fell into this rift valley. One of the team was obviously not a reaper. ……thing."

Liu Yingnian: "Something?"

Xie Bai: "At least in my opinion, that's not human."

Jiang Xiao looked at him, then at Ji Chunyue: "The cage master is not human? How is this possible?"

"The cage owner is a conscious creature, but not necessarily a human being." Xie Bai said, "Do you know where we are?"

He began to explain the "gap" to everyone.Yu Zhou and the others had already heard about it from Liu Yingnian, so they didn't feel very surprised at this time, but Xie Bai's next sentence was unexpected: "The will of the gap doesn't just catch prey from our time and space. "

Those who fall into the "trap" include human beings and animals.Sometimes, animals will become the cage owners of a certain "birdcage". They use their own ideas and will to build birdcages, which are definitely not a space that humans can step into.

And in some birdcages, the things that live there are not things that humans have seen, heard or understood at all.

"The 'gap' is the gap between different time and space. In fact, it is also the end point of the flow of time and space." Xie Bai said, "In short, the gap accommodates garbage in different spaces. You may be in a 'birdcage' ’, encounter monsters never imagined, even alien creatures.”

Jiang Xiao took a deep breath: "I have experienced more than 100 'bird cages', why have I never heard of such a thing?"

"Because no one can leave the special 'birdcage' I mentioned." Xie Bai said, "Including this 'birdcage'. None of the adventurers who entered the Plasse continent can leave. I have never seen the cage master, and I don’t know where the door is.”

Yu Zhou suddenly remembered something, something that Jiang Xiao said casually, but he always kept it firmly in his heart.

"You may have also heard a rumor that there is a special 'birdcage' here. The 'birdcage' hides a secret key that can leave the 'gap'." Xie Bai said, "We think that Prase may be hiding where the keys are."

Suddenly there was a long bell ringing outside.

Xie Bai and Ji Chunyue raised their heads almost at the same time: "The four clocks have moved!"

They ran out of the house and watched from afar.The wind and snow were still raging. Looking up against the wind, there was a huge smooth rock on the top of the snow mountain.

"That's the four clocks." Ji Chunyue pointed to the rock that looked like a clock face.

There are no numbers on the rocks, only four huge white crystals at positions 3, 6, 9, and 12, and a pointer.

With the continuous ringing of the bell, the pointer began to move clockwise from the 12 position to the 6 position, and finally stopped.

The moment the pointer stopped, the snow began to shrink.

Many people in the villages and towns went out of their homes to look up at the four clocks, and all laughed at this moment. "Summer, it's summer!"

"The seasons of the Prase continent are randomly determined by the four clocks." Xie Bai said, "Spring, summer, autumn and winter, the number 3 is spring, and the number 12 is winter. Before you arrived, Prase had a severe winter that lasted for five months." .”

"During the past five months, we will send people to patrol the Pride Plain every day in turn, just to wait for new adventurers." Ji Chunyue added, "Plasse has entered winter, and new adventurers will soon appear A sign of arrogance, but when and where, we don't know."

Yu Zhou suddenly realized.Ji Chunyue and Wen Feng were indeed there to pick them up.

"If you can't receive anyone, you will be harvested by the reaper." Ji Chunyue said again, "The arrival of new adventurers on the Plasse continent is also a signal for the reaper to become active. The cage master of Plasse drives The Reapers take pleasure in slaughtering adventurers, and those who died on the continent of Praser will not be resurrected. They simply disappeared without a trace."

Leaving Xie Bai's house, Yu Zhou remained silent all the way.

Whether it was Xie Bai's appearance, or the Prase Continent, which was completely different from all previous "birdcages", he was caught off guard.

This "birdcage" is really special.

Jiang Xiao obviously wanted to ask about the relationship between Yu Zhou and Xie Bai.When they bid farewell to Xie Bai, Xie Bai looked at Yu Zhou in such a way that even the dried fish felt tender and affectionate.

Halfway through, Ji Chunyue greeted people she knew well, and Jiang Xiao immediately moved to Yu Zhou's side. Halfway through the sentence "You and Xie Bai", Yu Zhou interrupted her first: "You remember that Fu Yuncong had a relationship with us. A promise? We find out the murderer of Hong Shiyu, and he will tell us the secret of the existence of the 'Birdcage'."

Because of Liu Yingnian's confession, most of the secrets of "Birdcage" and "Gap" have been revealed.Fu Yuncong then used another secret to thank Yu Zhou and the others.

"The 'Birdcage' in the 'Gap' has more than one level." Yu Zhou said, "That monster, the will of the 'Gap' once asked Fu Yuncong if he wanted to visit the more interesting upper level of the 'Birdcage'. Fu Yuncong did not agree."

Yu Zhou gestured a triangle.

"Fu Yuncong guessed that the levels of the 'birdcage' are distributed in a pyramid shape. But he doesn't know what is the key to reach the upper 'birdcage' from the lower 'birdcage'." Yu Zhou said, "monsters like Fu Yuncong I think it may be that Fu Yuncong has reproduced many details of the 'birdcage', and it believes that Fu Yuncong has the ability to control a more complicated 'birdcage'."

Xu Qingyuan: "...Do you suspect that the so-called special 'birdcage', that is, this Prase, is the key to the upper 'birdcage'?"

Yu Zhou did not deny it.

The snow has become smaller and smaller, falling on people's heads, and gradually turning into rain.

Yu Zhou felt a strong sense of vomiting.

What will the upper level 'birdcage' look like?

That night, everyone rested upstairs in the restaurant, planning to find a house the next day.Ji Chunyue reminded them that they might stay here for a long time and they should be prepared for the four seasons.There are no rules to follow when the four clocks will ring or what the next season will be.

Yu Zhou couldn't sleep, his mind was full of Xie Bai's image.

The anger that burned my heart and lungs that day has gradually disappeared, and was worn down by the various crises in the "birdcage", leaving only a thin shadow, almost no sense of existence.

The sky was clear, and the winter clouds dissipated, replaced by a sky full of stars.

Fan Xing stuck his head out from the next window: "You can talk to me if you can't sleep."

Yu Zhou: "...you didn't tell me the truth about one thing."

Fan Xing: "What about the ex-boyfriend?"

Yu Zhou turned his head and asked, "You said that you gave the small bottle of dried fish to Jiujiu, why did I see Xie Bai at the time? And it was... still rotten like that."

Fan Xing: "What kind of look?"

Yu Zhou: "...Didn't I tell you what a rotten corpse looks like?"

Fan Xing leaned against the window and said after a long time, "So you thought Xie Bai was dead."

Yu Zhou fixed his gaze on him: "What do you mean?"

Fan Xing had that flattering smile again.

"I have no entity in your time and space, just a consciousness." Fan Xing asked, "Who says I'm Xie Bai?"

Yu Zhou was out of breath: "I remember it clearly, it was the 'uncle' that Jiu Jiu said, she..." He suddenly stopped.

"I am a mirror, what do you think that person is, what you see me is." Fan Xing smiled, "I told Jiujiu, I am a good friend of your brother Yu Zhou, do you remember me? Jiujiu Say yes, she knows."

Yu Zhou's "good friend", the first thing Jiu Jiu thought of was Xie Bai.So in Jiujiu's eyes, Fan Xing is the handsome big brother Xie Bai in suits and leather shoes who once took her to the amusement park for a big meal.

However, in Yu Zhou's mind, the title "Uncle" refers to his ex-boyfriend who has been dead for a year.

He deserved to rot, he deserved to be disfigured.

Fan Xing was aggrieved: "I'm still wondering why you ran away when you saw me. I finally relied on Jiu Jiu to get a chance for you to see me, but you...cough."

Yu Zhou: "...you fucking chased after me."

Fan Xing: "Yes, I want to be your friend."

If he hadn't already known what Fan Xing was thinking, and seeing his sincerity, Yu Zhou might have believed it.

Yugan, who had been quietly listening to their talk, muttered, "So in your heart, Xie Bai is rotten."

Yu Zhou: "..."

Yugan: "Yo, the bad guy is here."

As it swung its fins, Yu Zhou's heart skipped a beat: Xie Bai was standing quietly on the street under the restaurant.Meeting Shang Yuzhou's gaze, the man smiled slightly, and said silently: "I want to see you."

The dried fish swam to Fan Xing's side, poking his face with its tail.

Yu Zhou had already gone downstairs and stood in front of Xie Bai.The two talked face to face, Xie Bai looked very gentle.

"I miss you so much, let's go on a date." Yugan said.

Fan Xing: "..."

"I miss you too, I love you, I'm so happy to see you." Yugan said again.

Fan Xing: "Shut up."

Yugan still tried his best to dub the two whispering below: "Let's go, go to my house. My house is much better than here, and I have a lot to say to you. Yes, yes, me too."

Fan Xing pinched the fish's face to stop its nagging.As expected, Yu Zhou and Xie Bai walked side by side, left the restaurant, and walked to Xie Bai's house deep in the village.

Yugan struggled hard, showing his mouth: "Quick, let's follow."

--------------------

The author has something to say:

Thank you to the adventurers: Xia Ning, Huaying, Fir, Jian Yixi, Zhanzhan Landmine with green moss.

Thank you to the adventurers: Xia Ning, Southern Planting Vegetables, Plain Yogurt, White Jasmine, Nanfengqi, Dusk's nutrient solution.

Yugan is very happy and wants to perform dubbing for the adventurers.

He chose carefully and chose a love movie.

Halfway through the match, the adventurers turned pale and left the scene one after another.

Yugan was stunned: Why, isn't it good-looking?I'll change one, I'll change the Titanic!I'm as handsome as Jack.

Fan Xing couldn't take it anymore and sealed its mouth with tape.
