Abyss Notes [Unlimited]

No one dared to approach the tower again.

Thinking that they slept all night under a monster last night, even Jiang Xiao turned pale.

He couldn't go up the tower, and if he asked the old man any questions, he shook his head and didn't answer, he just petted the yellow dog lovingly.

Liu Yingnian lost the vitality he had before, and squatted under the tree blankly, crying and shaking.The bucket hat still kept his distance from everyone, but he was walking around, distracted.Fan Xing followed Teacher Gu, trying to find ways to talk.

Yu Zhou and Jiang Xiao met eyes.

Both of them had the same surprise in their eyes: why are you so calm?

Yu Zhou thought to himself, it's not that he has never seen a dead person before, so what's the matter.

The concentration of fear in the weird "birdcage" was too high. It was almost noon, and no one felt hungry.When everyone was tired from walking and crying, and began to be in a daze quietly, Jiang Xiao said: "Go and find out how to get up to the tower."

Liu Yingnian was taken aback, and cried out in a crying voice, "Going up the tower? There are monsters on the tower!"

Fan Xing interrupted: "There are monsters, which means the windmill on the top of the tower is the correct answer."

This time even the bucket hat looked up.Fan Xing pointed upwards: "If the windmill on the top of the tower is meaningless, the 'Birdcage' will not set up such a big obstacle."

Liu Yingnian wiped away tears: "Yes... makes sense."

Jiang Xiao: "Cheer up, we still have to find a place to live tonight."

Liu Yingnian, who seemed to be the most prone to collapse among the crowd, finally calmed down, wiping away his tears and nose.He was completely different from the boy who tricked Yu Zhou into using the knife yesterday.

Several people discussed quickly and split up to find out how to get on the tower and what the strange thing on the tower was.

Yu Zhou was in charge of finding a place to live. Without hesitation for a moment, he immediately turned his head and stared at the fisherman's hat.

Last night, he didn't live in the tower but was still safe and sound. It can be seen that the shelter found by the fisherman's hat must be safe.

The fisherman's hat noticed that Yu Zhou was looking at him, turned his head and walked away.

Yu Zhou was taken aback: This person doesn't want to meet his eyes.He couldn't help but wonder: Could it be the big brother on the same path?

After following for a while, the man turned his head and waved to him.Yu Zhou didn't pay attention, and as soon as he approached, the fisherman's hat grabbed his neck with his backhand, and his neck felt cold: the sharp utility knife blade was pressed against the aorta of his neck.The voice of the fisherman's hat was the same as his own, viciously: "What are you doing with me?"

Yu Zhou didn't dare to move: "Brother, I want to ask you, where did you live last night?"

The fisherman's hat pushed him away: "With this, you can live anywhere."

Yu Zhou also has a knife, but he can't do anything to coerce others.

The fisherman's hat took two steps back: "Don't follow, don't seek death."

Yu Zhou had no choice but to stand still, watching the fisherman's hat go away in vain.

He is indeed too weak, words and deeds have no weight.Yu Zhou was annoyed in his heart: If it were someone else, such as Fan Xing and his like, he would definitely be able to convince the fisherman hat with that annoying and cunning tongue.

The wharf in Wujiao Town is small and deserted.There are no fishing boats around the pier, and no fishermen weaving and drying their nets.

Yu Zhou went to the pier and squatted down, looking at the sea submerged in black mist.He couldn't find a place to take them all.

The residents of Wujiao Town are very strange. They have an extremely indifferent attitude towards outsiders. Sometimes when Yu Zhou meets their eyes, he always feels that the other party is mocking and sneering.

Just as he was sighing, there was a sudden commotion below the pier.

A lost dolphin has been dragged onto dry land after being knocked unconscious on the edge of a pier and badly injured.

It was the first time for Yu Zhou to see such a big dolphin. He became curious and couldn't help but squeeze into the crowd, wanting to see it more clearly so that he could tell stories with Jiu Jiu when he got back.

It was only when I got closer that I could smell the blood: two men were cutting open the dolphin's belly with a knife.

Yu Zhou was taken aback: the dolphin was still alive, it kept twitching, its tail was thumping in the bloody water.

People were afraid of being splashed, and retreated one after another, but Yu Zhou was grabbed by the ankle by the man with the knife: "Wait!"

"I... what?" Yu Zhou covered his sight, he didn't dare to look at the dying dolphin, feeling oppressed and uncomfortable.

"It's finally taken out!" The man smiled and held up a bloody thing. "This dolphin is dying, and we are saving the baby in its belly."

The bloody flesh was stuffed into Yu Zhou's hands.Yu Zhou took a closer look, and the hairs on his back stood up: there was a tiny human baby in his arms!

The umbilical cord is very long and connects the dolphin's abdomen to the baby's navel.The baby was only the size of his two palms, with warm and sticky skin, and opened his mouth to cry loudly.

Yu Zhou was numb all over, he didn't know whether to move his hands or feet, and how to move them.The baby's crying face seemed to be melted by the heat, and suddenly began to change, revealing a fish face.The thin, thin hands as thick as chopsticks were raised, pointing to the sea.

——A splash of cold water drenched Yu Zhou's cheeks head-on.

He shuddered, exhaled foul air from his chest, and couldn't stop panting.

His hands were empty, and there were no dolphins or crowds in front of him, only the strong smell of blood hidden in the mist.He didn't know when he came to the edge of the pier in Foghorn Town, crumbling.

Fan Xing pulled his backpack behind his back, with a half bottle of water in his hand.

Yu Zhou's heart almost jumped out of his chest.He sat on the ground, terrified.There was still that overly real touch in the palm of his hand, and he kept wiping his hands on the clothes.

"What's wrong with you?" Fan Xing stared at him and looked left and right, "Can you dream while standing? Didn't sleep well last night?"

Yu Zhou was really scared this time.He told Fan Xing everything he had just seen, Fan Xing stroked his chin and thought, "Why are you pointing at the sea?"

Yu Zhou thought he would comfort himself and tell some jokes, just like he made fun of Liu Yingnian and Jiang Xiao, he was stunned by Fan Xing's question.

Fan Xing asked again: "Why is that little thing pointing at the sea? Did it want to tell you what secrets lie in the sea?"

Yu Zhou woke up like a dream, grabbed Fan Xing's sleeve and trembled with excitement: "This is a reminder!"

Fan Xing: "Yes, quickly record..."

Yu Zhou jumped up and ran away without looking back.

Fan Xing: "...Hello!"

"Thank you!" Yu Zhou turned around and shouted at him, "I'll tell Jiang Xiao! This must be a reminder to disperse the dense fog!"

Before finding Jiang Xiao, Yu Zhou found the fisherman's hat by accident.

The fisherman hat got into a hut familiarly, and soon, two people in the room were kicked out.

They were all children in their teens, a boy and a girl, and the girl had a long and narrow wound on her arm, as if cut by a knife.When the two of them saw Yu Zhou, hatred immediately appeared on their faces.

"I'm not with him." Yu Zhou said hastily.

This sentence made the two people in front of them doubtful.Yu Zhou poked his head outside the house: "That man, did you stay at your house last night?"

The older boy became alert: "What are you going to do?"

Yu Zhou remembered his mission and grinned: "I'll go in and meet my friends."

The fisherman hat was leaning against the corner of the wall to doze off, when Yu Zhou pushed open the door, he had already stood up holding the utility knife.

Yu Zhou always felt that he was his fellow man, and that his abilities and skills were far superior to his own, so he had some unknown respect for him.It's just that people in this industry don't like to get close to each other, and he doesn't dare to get too close.

Showing the innocent face that he was the best at and the best to use, Yu Zhou waved his hands: "Brother, what a coincidence! Let's live together tonight, so we can have a photo..."

Older boy gets angry: "This is my home!"

The fisherman's hat suddenly said: "Get lost."

As soon as he made a sound, everyone dared not move.

Yu Zhou: "Brother, we came here together anyway, we should help each other, love each other..."

Bucket hat: "This is my place, get out."

As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Yingnian squeezed in from the outside.

"Okay, Yu Zhou, you found it!" Liu Yingnian sniffed, waved and shouted behind him, "Jiang Xiao! This way! Yu Zhou found the house!"

Jiang Xiao ran to the door to have a look, then turned around and shouted, "Hello! The surname is Fan!"

People came one after another, and the already cramped house was instantly packed.

The boy was in a hurry: "You... bandits!!"

After returning to normal, Liu Yingnian greeted the fisherman's hat familiarly: "Brother, this place is really nice. Hello, my name is Liu Yingnian, thank you for taking me in." He shook hands with the siblings affectionately.

Fisherman's hat:"……"

The knuckles of his fingers holding the utility knife turned white, and he simply grabbed the knife and scratched it back and forth on the wall, the sound was ear-piercing.

Yu Zhou was afraid that the mysterious big brother would get angry and attack everyone, so he immediately eased the atmosphere: "There are only five of us left, and Wujiao Town is really not easy."

The fisherman's hat pressed down on his hat and stopped scratching.

This round of inquiry did not ask any usable information.Yu Zhou looked at the siblings who were standing in the corner staring at them, and asked about the tower.

"I can't go up that tower," said the boy. "My sister and I asked the same question as you. There is no need to search any further. There is no answer."

Yu Zhou's heart skipped a beat: in front of him is a pair of brother and sister.He suddenly gave birth to a strange tenderness, and couldn't help but smile at them.

Jiang Xiao is a girl, and the brothers and sisters were not so wary when facing her, and even revealed their names on their own initiative: the elder brother's name is Chen Liang, and the younger sister's name is Chen Yi.

But Jiang Xiao couldn't ask new questions, and their answers were exactly the same as before: I don't know, there is no way, and I can't go up.

Yu Zhou began to wonder if they were going in the wrong direction, maybe the correct answer was not the windmill on the top of the tower at all.

"Fog is formed by the condensation of moisture and dust in the air. To dispel the fog, either the temperature rises, or strong air convection, that is, wind." Liu Yingnian said, "What season is it now?"

"Autumn, October." Chen Liang replied.

Liu Yingnian: "Then you can wait a little longer. In winter, there is a big difference in temperature between land and sea, and there will definitely be wind. Let's stay for a while and wait for the wind to come." He pushed his glasses with a firm tone.

Yu Zhou: "How long will you stay?"

Liu Yingnian stuttered and scratched his head.He couldn't change his habit of talking nonsense: "I'm sorry, I spoke nonsense."

Chen Liang was about to speak, when Chen Yi suddenly said, "The reminder is right in front of your eyes, can't you see it?"

Chen Liang immediately tugged on her sleeve, Jiang Xiao asked, "What's the hint?"

"The things on the tower like to eat meat." Chen Yi pointed to the bloody mess under the tower, "Look for meat."

"Meat..." Yu Zhou was startled, "Is it the monster in Wujiao Town?"

The siblings laughed in unison.

Although it was just a vague reminder, Jiang Xiao and Yu Zhou went out to the tower.

The yellow dog ate up the big man's bones and meat, leaving only a piece of blood under the tower.Yu Zhou looked at the exit of Wujiao Town from a distance, and as night fell, the black mist gradually stirred up.

"You won't let us go outside to hunt monsters, will you?" Yu Zhou said with lingering fear, "Send it to them to eat?"

Jiang smiled and said, "How is it possible, it won't be so troublesome."

She is familiar with the situation of "Birdcage", and speaks decisively.Yu Zhou was extremely curious, but Jiang Xiao was extremely defensive, he couldn't ask anything.

Before returning to Chen Liang and Chen Yi's brother and sister's house, Jiang Xiao muttered, "Normally speaking, it shouldn't be. The first 'birdcage' won't be so difficult."

Yu Zhou didn't hear clearly: "What?"

Jiang smiled: "Hey, you sleep with me tonight."

Yu Zhou: "I... what?!"

Jiang Xiao grabbed his collar: "I hate that long-haired man. If he dares to approach me tonight, you will stab him with a knife."

Yu Zhou: "...Oh."

He was obedient, but his heart sank: Liu Yingnian is not the only one who knows that he has a knife.

After it was completely dark, everyone shared the snacks in Liu Yingnian's backpack.

Chen Liang and Chen Yi urged them to rest, and a strange tension filled the room.

There is a small mezzanine on the roof, and the two girls, Jiang Xiao and Chen Yi, sleep on the mezzanine.When Yu Zhou climbed up, Fan Xing grabbed him from behind.

"I want to sleep on it too." Fan Xing said pitifully, "Jiang Xiao, I'm afraid."

He was noisy and disturbing, Yu Zhou wished he could just kick him down the stairs, and finally Jiang Xiao came forward and kicked Fan Xing down.

The mezzanine is extremely short and narrow, and the small bed is made of old bedding.Jiang Xiao and Chen Yi slept on the bed, and Yu Zhou was the guard, so he could only sleep next to the stairs, with his backpack on his head.

Chen Yi was obviously very nervous and kept urging them to close their eyes.Yu Zhou thought that he would not be able to sleep today, after all he was full of anxiety after seeing a dead person, but soon after lying down, he lost consciousness.

When he was woken up, the surroundings were dark, Yu Zhou sat up, and faintly saw the ups and downs of the bed.Jiang Xiao and Chen Yi slept deeply.

He didn't know what woke him up. There was a wind outside the house, which was messy and suspicious, and it sounded like a person's heavy breathing.

Gradually adapting to the light in front of him, Yu Zhou found a small person squatting on the stairs.
