Abyss Notes [Unlimited]

An Liu is the first child.Fan Xing is the 220th child.

After creating An Liu, "Mother" was very enthusiastic about making new life-if they were enough to be called "life" for a while.

The child gave the "mother" many fresh feelings.An Liu was born from the belly of a dolphin. The "mother" tried hard to make it have a human body, but it was unsuccessful.

Neither An Liu nor Fan Xing later knew why his mother was so obsessed with creating a "person".

In the "gap" there are creatures from various spaces, including creatures from other planets besides the earth.But the "mother" just wants to create a human being with a torso, limbs, facial features, and speech.It wants to have such a child.

With the increase of children, at a certain moment of a certain day, the "mother" suddenly got tired of it.

It does not love its children.In other words, the will of the "Gap" does not understand blood ties, and the emotions that come with them.It has not experienced gestation, pain, difficult care, and has never given time. It does not know much about the attachment and love produced by the stacking of time.

It began to tire of its own children, and no longer cared about the children it had created. This kind of boredom and hatred reached its peak after Fan Xing was born.

Fan Xing is the unintentional product of "mother".Born from the void, he started out as an incomprehensible mass like any other child.

But soon, to the surprise of mother and An Liu, the thing condensed.Like water condensing into ice, that thing has a concrete form.A young child stood up tremblingly from the rotten water. He didn't speak much, but he already knew how to open his arms and approach the only two living creatures beside him.

"Mother" loves Fan Xing very much, but Fan Xing always fails to meet his mother's requirements. He lacks the most important thing in his body: he does not have his own heart.

The heart is the source of any child's strength, and is the first part made by the "mother" when she makes life.But Fan Xing did not have a heart, he only had the illusion and sound of beating, and his chest was empty.

It made him completely unreal again.

The "mother" was both happy and sad, and gradually became angry with Fan Xing.When it put all its attention on Fan Xing, it punished Fan Xing with pain, punishing him for not being able to meet its demands, punishing his badness, his fragility, and the tears he shed because of the pain.Mother can always find a reason, it left the most welts on Fan Xing's body.

After An Liu was punished, the mother was very depressed for a while.It distributed the toys that once belonged to An Liu—after all, An Liu was its most beloved child, and it made many strange toys for An Liu, satisfying all of An Liu’s wishes—to other people.

These children are not similar to dried fish, and none of them can have a complete human form. In the human-like body, there is always something mixed in to make them look weird or even scary.

The "mother" completely lost interest in making life. It drove all the children away, but still tracked them with the whip.They leave their mother's side, but they can't leave the gap.

The children took their toys, some were dazed, some were excited, they left their mothers one after another and scattered to various birdcages.

After a suffocating silence, Jiang Xiao asked, "Why have I been through so many birdcages and never seen those...children you mentioned?"

"There are thousands of birdcages in the gaps, and it's normal not to touch them. And not all children are willing to expose themselves in front of others. Some of my brothers and sisters are shy and cowardly, and they don't like to deal with people. Naturally They don’t want to be cage masters. Some like the sense of participation, they have flexible minds and can think of many ways to torture people.” Fan Xing said, “It’s definitely not a coincidence that Four Clocks appeared here. It can control the Prase Continent The seasonal climate at least shows that it belongs to the controller of this 'bird cage', that is, the cage owner."

"...Then how do we go?" Liu Yingnian's tone became urgent, "How could we defeat monsters like you!"

Jiang Xiao immediately stepped on him under the table, ordering him to shut up.

Fan Xing was not angry at all.He readily accepted that he was a "monster" and said with a smile, "Yes, I can't beat it."

He clapped his hands and said heartily: "Maybe we will stay in Plasse forever like this."

Yu Zhou couldn't sleep well all night, he stared dazedly, woke up by the dried fish.

It snows heavily in winter and rains heavily in summer.The rain was violent and the wind was blowing, the half-closed windows were blown and the ground was half wet.

Yu Zhou got up and closed the window, and suddenly heard the windows of the next room also ringing non-stop. When he looked around, the windows and doors kept beating on the wall.

"Fan Xing!" Yu Zhou yelled several times, but Fan Xing did not agree.It was too noisy, Yu Gan was afraid of getting wet in the heavy rain, so he hid himself in Yu Zhou's hood and refused to come out, so Yu Zhou had no choice but to climb on the edge of his window and step over to Fan Xing's window.

He is agile, climbing walls and windows is something he used to do a lot, the habit is still there, and he quickly slid through the window into Fan Xing's room.

Fan Xing was not in the room.

Yugan sticks out his head from the hood: "Yu Zhou, you are amazing, you are born to be a thief."

Yu Zhou: "You don't have to talk if you don't talk."

Yugan covered his mouth, Yu Zhou asked it where Fan Xing was, but Yugan didn't know either.

"Didn't he swallow your heart?" Yu Zhou said, "You don't know where he went?" He held the dried fish and looked it up suspiciously.

Yugan talked about him from left to right: "He is free, and I am free too! We are not bound to each other, this is free love!"

The town became more and more silent in the heavy rain.

There are Byzantine-style cupolas on the brick houses, and the crucifixion on the ordinary gray-tiled roofs. Whether it is people's clothes or buildings, they are all mixed together, without aesthetics.In the building diagonally opposite, a square hole was cut in the window decorated with beautiful stained glass, and an exhaust fan was embedded in it. In the strong wind, the fan blades rotated wildly, making a harmonica-like sound.

"Why did he tell everything?" Yu Zhou asked.

Yugan: "I don't know."

Yu Zhou: "You and I are not of the same mind."

Yugan: "Who said that!" It jumped up angrily.

Yu Zhou: "Then tell me, where Fan Xing is now, and what's on his mind."

Yugan immediately calmed down: "I don't know."

Holding its fins and rubbing its shriveled face, Yu Zhou's palms were pierced with pain.

At this time, on the high ground outside the town, Fan Xing was standing against the storm.The rain makes it difficult to see the direction ahead, and the huge four clocks on the mountain peak remain motionless, only four huge white crystals glow faintly in the rainy night.

Fan Xing walked here along the small river in the town.The snow field they ran through when they arrived turned out to be a wide and long river.In the cold winter, the river froze, and thick snow fell on the ice layer. They didn't realize that there was a turbulent flow under their feet.Now the ice is thawing and the river is surging again.

Fan Xing's hands turned into thick light gray vines, they climbed forward, but could not cross the river.

The great river surrounds the highlands and almost encloses the highlands.

The highlands are a natural hunting ground for the Reapers.

Since it is a natural hunting ground, why did the adventurers survive in the highlands without incident?Fan Xing was puzzled.

After standing for a while, he walked towards the only road leading to the outside world on the high ground.

The heavy rain lasted for three days, and Fan Xing also disappeared for three days.Ji Chunyue and Wen Feng inquired about Fan Xing's whereabouts, worrying that he, an adventurer, lost his life on the Plasse Continent.Yu Zhou and the others were vague and prevaricated.

After knowing the identities of Fan Xing and Yugan, the atmosphere among the companions changed a bit.There are two non-human things in the team, and they have natural advantages in the "gap".For someone like Fan Xing, even if he disappears for a few days, nothing will happen to him.

At the same time, both Fan Xing and An Liu have a close relationship with Yu Zhou.

So even Yu Zhou made people feel resentful: he concealed the truth, obviously he didn't regard other people as partners.

After the rain stopped, Ji Chunyue and Wen Feng urged them to find a place to stay.

Liu Yingnian was in a low mood, so Xu Qingyuan dragged him to drink and forcibly moved to Wenfeng's side.Yu Zhou wanted to go with Jiang Xiao, but unexpectedly Jiang Xiao took the initiative to ask Ji Chunyue to go out, leaving Zhou alone in the end, and he had to wander around the town with Yu Gan.

There are many houses in the town, and occasionally you can see a few buildings with closed doors.The owner of the building is no longer there, or his life was taken away by the reaper, and he disappeared from then on, or he also traveled like Xie Bai and completely lost track of him.

Yu Zhou was impressed by the stained glass house, and the locks on the house were covered with dust.

He asked around, only to find out that the house had been vacant for several years, and the owner was no longer there.

According to the town's practice, the vacant house is owned by the new adventurers, and they can temporarily choose to settle here.Yu Zhou walked around the house. At first, he didn't understand why such a beautiful building was uninhabited. After asking others, he found out that there were six adventurers who settled in this house. Without exception, they all met the reaper.

There are indeed six graves in the open space behind the house, and there are no tombstones.

"Cursed house... hiccup." Yugan went to play with Liu Yingnian and Xu Qingyuan, and Xu Qingyuan took two sips of wine.Although the wine pierced through the intestines... through the bones, but the dried fish was drunk, and the bee danced in the air, and the voice was in a trance: "Okay, wonderful, suitable for a hero like me... hiccup."

It reeked of alcohol, Yu Zhou flicked it away with his fingers, looked around, and took out a wire from his backpack.

In Fu Yuncong's "Birdcage", he added many necessary things, such as hand tools.With dried fish by his side, Yu Zhou was not afraid of meeting the Reaper, anyway, dried fish would always save him, especially at the moment of life and death.

The strange rumors about the house piqued his interest.Yu Zhou wanted to see with his own eyes what a reaper was.

The iron wire was inserted into the keyhole, and Yu Zhou's tail finger gently pushed the end of the iron wire.The keyhole is not complicated, it is the kind that Yu Zhou opened when he was eleven or twelve years old. He found the position, pressed and twisted, and finally pressed lightly on the end of the wire, and the lock opened.

Just as he was about to push the door, a big hand suddenly reached out and grabbed Yu Zhou's wrist.

Yu Zhou yelled in pain, looked up and found that this person was Wen Feng.

Wen Feng's hands were strong and he didn't relax. He looked Yu Zhou up and down, his eyes were gloomy and indifferent: "What do you do?"

Unexpectedly, Yu Zhou didn't blush even when he met the police, but when Wen Feng asked this sentence, his burning shame and embarrassment burned violently.

Unable to break free from Wen Feng's grip, he didn't respond to a word, and suddenly lowered his head and bit Wen Feng's hand.

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

The author has something to say:

Drunk Yugan twirled in the air and saw Yu Zhou and Wen Feng confronting each other.

Dried fish: Good!beat!fight!belch.

Afterwards, Fan Xing, who learned of this, used his small feather to scratch the itch of the dried fish all night.

Yugan was scared out of his wits(?), and never dared to leave Yu Zhou again.
