Abyss Notes [Unlimited]

After the four clocks turned, the temperature of the earth rose rapidly.The snow on the ground quickly melted and became stagnant water.The accumulated water will not evaporate in the future, and the road surface will be muddy.

Xie Bai told Yu Zhou that he had lived here for three years, and spent two and a half years wandering around on the Plasse continent.He avoided the Reapers everywhere, surveyed the terrain, drew maps, and finally gradually pieced together the complete appearance of the Praser Continent.

The two of them stepped over the puddles on the ground and picked clean places to walk.Xie Bai turned his head and said with a smile: "Do you remember? Once it rained heavily and we were trapped in the square."

Yu Zhou remembered.

Xie Bai invited him to dinner that day, and he took Jiu Jiu with him.Walking after dinner, halfway through the walk, it suddenly rained heavily.They stood in the rain shelter of the square for a long time, Xie Bai confessed his love to him, and secretly kissed him while he was not paying attention for a long time.

"I don't remember." Yu Zhou replied.

Xie Bai's eyelids drooped, and he quickly laughed again: "I have very good tea at home, do you want to try it?"

"No need." Yu Zhou refused again.He jumped up the curb steps, and in front of him was a small bridge.This is not the road Ji Chunyue took them to just now.Under the bridge is a dry river, the ice has melted, and the river bed is sparkling in the night lights.

He leaned on the bridge railing and looked at Xie Bai: "You said explain to me, explain what?"

Xie Bai was taller than him, and when he looked down at Yu Zhou, he still had Yu Zhou's familiar expression, full of affection and confidence.

His real name is Xie Bai, but he has several other occupations and identities.

Both the fake identity and the fake job are just for work: Xie Bai's job is not a consulting teacher in an overseas study institution.He is a staff member of a secret agency.

"I did work in the bank for a while, but it was to perform tasks." Xie Bai said, "This can't be considered deception."

Yu Zhou thought to himself, if you say it doesn’t count, doesn’t it count?But he didn't respond, and looked down at his fingers, as if there was something interesting on his fingers, which was more attractive than Xie Bai beside him.

"The mission is over, I wanted to confess to you." Xie Bai said, "Unexpectedly, something happened on the road, and I finally came to this place."

He stroked Yu Zhou's hair: "How long have you been in? How many 'birdcages'?"

Yu Zhou stubbornly avoided Xie Bai's hand, but Xie Bai suddenly became tough and pulled him into his arms. "...Have you suffered a lot?" He whispered, "It's okay, I'm here. I won't let anyone or anything hurt you."

Yu Zhou was hugged by him, and for a while he didn't know how to break free.

He faintly realized that he actually didn't want to break free.When he was with Xie Bai, he was indeed safe.Xie Bai is rich, reliable, and powerful, he can always answer Yu Zhou's questions, and even plans to enroll Yu Zhou in classes to continue his studies.Yu Zhou is not his

"G".

They stood under the lamp until Xie Bai let go.He led Yu Zhou and walked towards his home.

The water accumulated on the road varied from deep to shallow, Fan Xing walked sloppily, and the water was splashed and splashed by trampling.

Halfway through, he suddenly stopped.

The fish dried faster than him, turned around and saw Xie Bai and Yu Zhou talking on the bridge.I was about to continue dubbing, but when I turned around, I found that the only loyal listener was not there, so I had to look back angrily.

Fan Xing was in the cracks of the building, focusing on a sticker.

On the paper was drawn a tall black figure with two heads.Under the portrait, several different texts are marked: Be careful of the reaper, please stay away immediately after you find it, and never approach it without a companion.

"Let's go!" Yugan urged, "It's just ahead."

"I don't do this kind of thing." Fan Xing replied, "Eavesdropping on other people's conversation is not fair enough."

Yugan: "If you are so upright, you won't come down with me to follow up. What a hero if you give up halfway! I understand lip language, and I will translate it for you."

Fan Xing and it were arguing and twisting, and suddenly a person came out from the slanting stab: "What are you doing?"

Liu Yingnian pushed his glasses: "The sound of dried fish is so loud."

Yugan immediately changed his voice, his voice was nondescript: "I hate it, what are you talking about, the Yu family is very quiet."

Liu Yingnian was wandering around and drawing a map of the town while there were not many people on the road late at night.Fan Xing took his notes, and every page was densely packed, recording what happened in the "birdcage".

"...Do you really think you can go back?" Fan Xing asked.

"Of course." Liu Yingnian was full of confidence, "There have been precedents."

He looked around and saw no one around, approaching Fan Xing.

Fan Xing looked at him quietly, remembering that in Wujiao Town, Liu Yingnian had the same expression when he approached Yu Zhou to instigate him to commit suicide.

"I started taking vocational training courses on the first day I entered the deep hole investigation team. There are many training courses for the investigation team, and it takes at least a month to go to several places." Liu Yingnian said, "Everyone who enters the investigation team , have to learn a book, "Ash Notes."

The mysterious "returner" appeared in Taiyuan, Shanxi Province in 2009. The deep hole investigation team compiled the entire process of investigating him and the information he brought back into "Ash Notes".

"Ash Notes" is a document used internally by the investigation team. It records "gaps" and "traps" in detail, and the part that interprets "returners" is exactly what Liu Yingnian and other new recruits have learned. part.

""Ash Notes" is very long, and we newcomers have not been able to access other content. Perhaps in order to arouse our curiosity and desire to explore, we specially selected some of the most peculiar and interesting ones to teach." Liu Yingnian said, " It may also be that our level can only touch such superficial content."

In "Ash Notes", the narration of the "returner" filled many gaps for the investigation team.

The Returnee didn't trust anyone on the investigation team at first.He has difficulty understanding what people around him say, expresses himself correctly, behaves abnormally, and spends long periods of time alone in small spaces, which seem to give him a sense of security.The investigation team observed him day and night for a long time, and some people even wondered: Is he still a normal human being?

After a long period of approach and persuasion by the investigation team, the language function of the "Returnee" gradually recovered.

He started to communicate with people.

How the "Gap" was formed, what is the nature of the "Void", and what kind of power is the will of the "Gap", all the information comes from the "Returner".

Fan Xing listened carefully: "This person must know the existence of 'Birdcage'."

Liu Yingnian: "I think so."

Fan Xing: "But before you entered the 'trap', you didn't know that the 'cracks' were densely packed with 'bird cages'. It seems that the 'bird cages' are confidential content."

Liu Yingnian: "Yes, actually there are still a lot of secrets, which are secrets that can only be known after the internship is over and in different positions."

He looked regretful.Something happened before he finished his internship, and he couldn't let it go.

Fan Xing touched his chin.Liu Yingnian is very strange.He judged it in his heart.The glasses boy in front of him is not a bad guy with malicious intentions, but he is very persistent in what he asks for.In this attachment, he has no moral judgment.

Liu Yingnian instigated Yu Zhou to commit suicide, naturally because Yu Zhou was the most persuasive of all the people at that time.

"I know you have a good relationship with Yu Zhou. You may think that I was lying to Yu Zhou when I told him that people can go back after committing suicide." Liu Yingnian looked at Fan Xing, "But I didn't lie to him. It's just that I didn't make all the conditions clear."

Fan Xing: "You lied to him 80.00%, that's also a lie."

Liu Yingnian: "The 'Returner' did return to reality by committing suicide in the 'gap'. But... But at that time, he used other forces."

Fan Xing: "What power?"

Liu Yingnian: "He said, eyes."

Fan Xing suddenly remembered the figure of "mother".

But impossible. "Mother" will not let any adventurer leave the "Gap".It keeps catching people and things from other spaces and coming to the "gap" in order to fill the void of nothing.

It doesn't take anything away from itself.

Liu Yingnian was still talking: "At that time, I just thought, if people die directly in the 'birdcage' without using any eyes, can they go back."

Fan Xing replied coldly: "If Yu Zhou really slashed his neck with a knife, but he can't go back, can you be responsible?"

Liu Yingnian: "...I didn't think about it that much."

Fan Xing: "Because you don't know Yu Zhou."

Liu Yingnian didn't answer.

Fan Xing: "He is weak, nervous, totally unsuited to the current situation, and is easily instigated by you. You are strangers to him, so what happens to him has nothing to do with you. Even if he dies, you don't need to Be responsible, after all, it is not you who holds the knife."

He was suddenly irritable.There was no reason for this emotion, Fan Xing slammed his fist against the wall, the action was so big that Liu Yingnian was startled.

There were footsteps treading water on the road.

The starlight was clear, and Yu Zhou stood at the entrance of the alley, looking at the two in front of him in surprise. "What are you doing?"

Yugan was taken aback: "Aren't you going to meet your boyfriend? So soon? Can this man do it?"

Yu Zhou glanced at it, and it immediately knew that it had said something wrong again, so it quickly slid up and rubbed against Yu Zhou's neck.

"Ex-boyfriend." Yu Zhou corrected, "I went to get some tea. Liu Yingnian, here it is for you."

He threw the tea pot to Liu Yingnian, who hurriedly took it.

"It's refreshing. Don't you write your notes every night?" Yu Zhou yawned and walked forward, "I'm so sleepy, go back to sleep. What were you talking about just now? You look serious."

Clutching the tea leaves, Liu Yingnian shouted behind him, "I...I think it's best not to have any secrets between us!"

Yu Zhou stopped.

"Yu Zhou, I'm sorry." Liu Yingnian suddenly knelt down and kowtowed on the wet ground, "In the birdcage of Wujiao Town, I'm not a thing, I was wrong. I shouldn't lie to you, I shouldn't instigate you Suicide. You are a large number of adults, you do not bear my grudge, I am grateful to you."

Yu Zhou was at a loss.

"Secrets are exchanged for secrets. This is what we agreed on earlier." Liu Yingnian said, "I said the 'gap' and my own identity, and Brother Mao said his name. Yu Zhou, I can put me in the investigation I will tell you everything the team knows, without reservation, I promise."

Yu Zhou forcibly lifted him up: "...I know about the suicide at that time, you lied to me. We have all gone through three 'birdcages', what are you talking about? We are already inseparable from each other. Separated partners."

"Then can you exchange secrets with us?"

Yu Zhou: "What?"

Liu Yingnian: "What happened on the pier the night the monster appeared?"

The Praser Continent is a special "birdcage".In this "birdcage", the secret of leaving the "gap" is likely to be hidden.

Xie Bai's words obviously stirred up waves in everyone's heart.

People like Ji Chunyue who have stayed in Plaseri for a long time knew this conclusion, so they were very calm.However, Yu Zhou and the others, the adventurers who had just entered Prase, were all in a mess.

Apart from Fan Xing whose attitude was completely unclear, even Jiang Xiao, who was determined to find Hu Weiyi, began to waver.

Returning to the real world and getting out of this ghost place became the most urgent thing.

The three returned to the restaurant, and Wen Feng was reading at the cash register.At a table in the corner, Jiang Xiao and Xu Qingyuan were drinking wine.Seeing Yu Zhou and others coming back, Wen Feng told them to lock the door and left.

He leaves room for discussion among new adventurers.

Fan Xing asked Yu Zhou to keep the matter on the pier a secret.Yu Zhou knew that the truth was related to the relationship between Fan Xing and An Liu, so he couldn't speak easily.

Jiang Xiao and Xu Qingyuan were also very curious about the monsters at the pier that night, Yu Zhou thought that Liu Yingnian was indeed the most restless of them.

Not everyone can openly reveal secrets to others, even companions who live and die together.

What's more, for Fan Xing and An Liu, they are children of the "gap", they will not die in the "gap", and they have no need to return to the real world.Fundamentally, both of them are completely different from other adventurers.

As long as Fan Xing is not willing, he cannot share his secrets with anyone.

Yu Zhou sat down at the table, thinking about how to deal with this matter.

Fan Xing sat beside him, and said naturally: "That monster with four hands and one eye is my mother."

Even Yu Zhou was shocked, he immediately turned to look at Fan Xing.Fan Xing responded with a chuckle, and continued: "That thing is what Liu Yingnian said, the will of the 'gap'. An Liu and I—namely Yugan, are both children of the 'gap'."

He gave everything without reservation.

Yu Zhou and Yu Gan were puzzled, one person and one fish looked at each other frequently, the mutual confusion mixed together and turned into a bigger doubt: What is Fan Xing doing?

The rest of the people knew that An Liu was special, and that Fan Xing was weird, but they never expected that they came from such a background.For a moment, everyone's stagnant and dignified atmosphere was tightly packed.

Fan Xing turned his head and smiled at Yu Zhou.Yu Zhou asked softly, "Didn't you tell me to keep it a secret?"

"Don't keep it secret, let them know that An Liu and I are not ordinary people." Fan Xing lightly said, "With me and An Liu under our cover, no one will try to bully you."

Yu Zhou looked at him warily: "Any bad idea?"

Fan Xing was tongue-tied, and it took him a while to laugh: "Yes, I want to eat you."

The dried fish slammed and said happily, "...Oh! I understand."

Yu Zhou: "What?"

Yugan: "Don't say it, you can't say it." It giggled strangely and hummed a cheerful little song.

As if wanting to surprise everyone, including Yu Zhou, Fan Xing raised his hand slightly, with a slender and straight index finger, pointing to the ceiling.

"There is another secret that even Yu Zhou doesn't know." He said, "Four clocks, I've seen them before."

The humming of dried fish stopped.

"It used to be An Liu's toy, a small thing that his mother made for An Liu." Fan Xing said, "It's just that after An Liu became a dried fish, everything it once owned was given to other children by the mother. children."

The dried fins of the fish patted each other: "So it's mine! No wonder it looks familiar to me."

Everyone looked at Fan Xing.Goosebumps suddenly appeared on Yu Zhou's arm, his scalp was numb, his voice lost his voice due to the unspeakable fear and shock: "You mean, the owner of the Plasse bird cage is the 'gap' child?!"

The author has something to say:

Yugan: Your boyfriend can't do it.

Yu Zhou: Ex-boyfriend.

Yugan: Oh oh——isn’t that more exciting? !

Fan Xing sealed its mouth with tape again.
