Abyss Notes [Unlimited]

This is a fragment Xiao Shi dug out from Wen Feng and Ji Chunyue's memory.

A spinning toy hangs on the crib, and the bells jingle softly.The wedding photo hung above the bed in the bedroom, showing two happy young people, very different from Wen Feng Ji Chunyue today.Parenting books were scattered on the table in twos and threes, wardrobes and bookcases were turned in a mess, and things fell all over the floor.

Yu Zhou walked to the living room, and there was an old man with gray hair lying on the floor.The old man is an illusion, and Yu Zhou can pass through her body with his hand.His grandma, who has been blaming and guilty for a long life afterwards, failed to protect him.

Standing in this home, Yu Zhou felt strange yet familiar.

Everything was as it should be, placed and designed as he imagined.This is an ordinary family of four. There is a small photo frame next to the TV, and the child is lying on the bed with a military cap on his head.The military cap was too wide for him, covering only half of his head. The child didn't know what wish was enshrined in the cap, so he just looked at the camera and smiled.

Fan Xing followed suit, he hooked Yu Zhou's fingers and held his hand.

Wen Feng and Ji Chunyue appeared outside the door, shaking like shadows.Ji Chunyue screamed and covered her eyes.Wen Feng hugged her and looked around in horror: "What happened?"

It was the first time Yu Zhou looked at them so carefully.

Wen Feng is a retired soldier, his hands and feet are strong and strong, the skills he learned in the army have not been forgotten, and he is accurate and fast when catching.Like Yu Zhou, he also has a straight nose and thin lips, thin sunken cheeks, unshaven beard, and straight hair in a crew cut, just like his character, he refuses to bend.With the gray-green assault jacket covering him, even in astonishment, his eyes looked like a real hunter.

Ji Chunyue was shorter and thinner than him, with her hair cut short, she looked like a man at first glance.Yu Zhou knew that she had a gentle voice and eyes, those eyes were filled with tears at the moment, when she saw Yu Zhou, she suddenly broke free from Wen Feng's arms and walked towards him.

Yu Zhou was taken aback, and Ji Chunyue hugged him.

"Are you hurt?" she whimpered. "My dear boy, why are you here?"

Yu Zhou has all beard and tail, and there is no injury.Ji Chunyue looked back and forth, and finally held Yu Zhou's face: "You are all people brought out by me and Wen Feng. If something happens, I really don't know how to go back and face everyone in the camp. Remember what Ji Jie said, and when we meet again, It’s dangerous, don’t worry about others, save your own life first.”

Yu Zhou listened quietly to her.

"Isn't your sister still waiting for you? You have to go back, you can't die in this crappy place." Ji Chunyue gritted her teeth, "We all have to go back."

Yu Zhou asked her, "Is this your home?"

Ji Chunyue's hands trembled slightly.She tried her best to avoid looking at the surrounding furnishings, but she couldn't avoid it at all.Wen Feng wanted to help his mother up on the ground, but found that it was a phantom, so he had to give up.

The couple's memories are not exactly like this.On the same day, they were notified by the police that when the two went home one after another, the scene had been protected and they could not enter.The injured old man was sitting on the stairs crying, her earlobe was broken, and the burglar directly tore the earring off her ear.Ji Chunyue and the old man looked at each other and wept. Wen Feng didn't bother to cry. He immediately asked the police and contacted his comrades in arms to get more information and help.

Many details were pieced together after listening to the old man.Now in front of their eyes is the scene of the incident that day.

Ji Chunyue didn't dare to go into the bedroom, she stepped back and left the house.Fan Xing asked: "And then? Where did you go?"

"I've been to... many, many places." Ji Chunyue's tears kept rolling down. She supported her forehead with her hands to prevent herself from falling down, but she couldn't focus her eyes. "But I can't find it... I can't find it at all." ...that bastard...he threw Jiujiu beside the trash can...how could he? How could he bear it! Such a small, such a small child!"

She swallowed her tears and was speechless for a while.Wen Feng stood in the living room, looking at the phantom of his mother on the ground, and then looked up at the empty crib in the bedroom.

Everything around them was changing, the rain was falling, and they were standing on a dark and deserted street.The neem tree is full of new branches and leaves. On a rainy night, Susanana, the dim light penetrates the feathery leaves and the small rain, illuminating a small package in the trash can beside the tree.

Ji Chunyue let out a vague roar, and frantically rushed towards the little bundle.The small bundle was empty, she picked it up, and the bundle disappeared in her hands.

It was the first time Yu Zhou knew that people could cry so heartbreakingly.

He took a step back and found that Fan Xing was still holding his hand.

Wen Feng hugged Ji Chunyue, held her face, and let her look at himself: "These are all fake!"

Ji Chunyue cried, "It's true! It's true! I was left here for a long time..."

"Chunyue, look at me and listen to me." Wen Feng's eyes were also red, "It's all the fault of the cage master. That monster wants to divide us. Except for Fan Xing in the small team, only you and I can fight with the reaper." Confrontation. Fan Xing couldn't be moved, so he attacked us. Don't think about it, it's not true."

Ji Chunyue stopped crying, tears still flowing: "It was still raining that day, he would catch a cold, what should I do? What should I do!"

The two looked at each other in silence, Ji Chunyue covered her ears: "No, it's impossible, don't say..."

Wen Feng hugged her and patiently stroked her back until Ji Chunyue calmed down.

Yu Zhou understood what they hadn't said.The baby, who was less than one year old, was so weak in the box that his face turned blue, and he was placed next to the trash can, drenched in rain.The probability of it being alive is actually very, very low.

He couldn't move, he wanted to go to Wen Feng and Ji Chunyue, and wanted to say "I'm here".

But he really didn't have the courage.

His hand trembled slightly in Fan Xing's palm, and when Fan Xing was about to speak, the scene in front of him changed again.They returned to the ransacked house.

The rattle hanging on the crib rang softly, Ji Chunyue stood in the aisle between the living room and the bedroom, she dared not step into the bedroom.There is a fuzzy shadow on the crib, and the child stretches out his hands and chuckles.With tears still on Ji Chunyue's face, she took a step towards the bedroom, and the surroundings became dark again.

Rainy nights, neem trees, trash cans.The small bundle in Ji Chunyue's hand contained only a cloud of air.

The scene changed faster and faster, either at home or where the children were abandoned.Ji Chunyue fell to her knees and cried loudly, "I'm sorry...I'm sorry...Mom is sorry for you...Mom can't protect you..."

Only then did Yu Zhou understand what Xiao Shi meant by "torture".

Xiao Ten said that she is good at this.

Wen Feng could no longer comfort Ji Chunyue, her emotions completely collapsed.He hugged his wife tightly, closed his eyes in the changing environment, and frowned in pain.

"Xiao Shi!!!" Fan Xing yelled loudly, "Stop! Stop playing!"

A hoarse chuckle came from the black sky: "Is this enough?"

The sky split open, the black film of water faded away, and Ji Chunyue and Wen Feng landed on the rocky ground of the small island.Jiang Xiao rushed over to help Ji Chunyue up, but Ji Chunyue completely lost her strength and could no longer stand up.She stared blankly at the rocks on the rough ground, her shoulders twitched, no matter how Wen Feng and Jiang Xiao pulled her, she couldn't get up.

Xiao Shi hid in the water, showing half of his head.She wanted to laugh, but after seeing Ji Chunyue's appearance, the smile faded away.

"Isn't it just the loss of a child?" She said to Yugan, "Humans can continue to produce many, many children, just like mothers. There is nothing to cry about."

Yugan: "But the recreated child, not that one."

Xiao Ten: "Aren't all children the same? If you don't like this one or are not satisfied, then create another one."

Yugan: "Humans are different from...our mothers. The process of human beings making children is very difficult, so each one is very precious."

Xiao Shi stared blankly at it, and after a long time, he murmured in the water and asked, "...was mother sad when I left?"

Yugan didn't hear her question clearly, but on her face, Yugan saw a fresh and strange expression.Envy, jealousy, melancholy, and sadness are complex and difficult to analyze emotions that only human beings have.

Yugan waved his fins and swam back to Yu Zhou.

"Sister Ji?" Jiang Xiao looked at Yu Zhou, and found that Yu Zhou was just standing aside and not approaching, so he hurriedly continued to persuade Ji Chunyue, "No matter what you saw, it's not true. Your child is still alive."

"It's gone...he's gone..." Ji Chunyue's sobbing voice stuck in her throat, she didn't realize that the person in front of her was Jiang Xiao, she just replied in a daze, "I know...Wen Feng and I have been deceiving ourselves...we There is no way to go back, and he is long gone."

She covered her face and curled up in pain.

"I don't want to go anymore, Reaper, Cage Master, anything is fine, just kill me..."

Wen Feng held her by the shoulder, and there was also intense pain in those eyes that were always calm and sharp: "Chunyue, don't say such things, we can go back..."

"There's no point in going back!" Ji Chunyue yelled, "You know it, and I know it too! He's gone! He's gone!"

Someone knelt beside her on one knee, covering Ji Chunyue's cold back with a warm hand.

"He's still alive." Yu Zhou whispered, "That child is not dead, he was picked up by someone."

Ji Chunyue and Wen Feng turned to look at him at the same time.Ji Chunyue's eyes were full of suspicion, but Yu Zhou didn't make any jokes.He stared at Ji Chunyue and nodded, "He's alive and well."

The words that could make everyone happy were right on Yu Zhou's lips.

Ji Chunyue met his gaze, an unbelievably happy expression gradually appeared on her face.

Wen Feng grabbed Yu Zhou's hand: "You know him?"

Subconsciously sweeping over Yu Zhou, Wen Feng immediately blurted out: "How do you know him? He is also...?"

Yu Zhou doesn't like to look directly at others, and even less like looking into other people's eyes.

When he was very young, he understood the meaning contained in other people's eyes: hatred, disgust, contempt, ridicule... There were so many things, he couldn't bear it for a time.

Later, as his skin thickened, he was less afraid of the unexpressed emotions in other people's eyes.

But when he and Wen Feng looked at each other, the familiar things in Wen Feng's eyes still pierced Yu Zhou in an instant.

Yu Zhou was flustered for a moment, ashamed and ashamed hit his heart like a heavy hammer, and the dull pain gradually overwhelmed him.

He paused for less than half a second.

The turbulent excitement like a frenzy has completely receded from Yu Zhou's heart, Fan Xing and Yu Gan were beside him, each of them looked at each other, and was shocked by Yu Zhou's unexpected calmness.

"How could he be friends with someone like me." Yu Zhou smiled, "His surname is Huang now, and he is a young lawyer who has just started working."

He began to recall the little lawyer he recognized after stepping on the spot several times during the last theft.

The young lawyers have decent jobs, drive a small car, and live with their girlfriends. They like to decorate their homes and hang a few strings of colored lights on the windows during festivals.

Yu Zhou observed the little lawyer for a long time.He is not envious, he really is not envious.Yu Zhou said to himself, that was definitely not envy, but simply impressed.The young lawyer works diligently, speaks politely and nicely. He always wears a neat suit when he goes to court. When the weather is hot, he takes off his coat and wears a white shirt and black trousers. He is a very upright young man.

He has a kind lover. When Yu Zhou visited the site, he saw the girl carrying band-aids and alcohol with her, and she gave simple treatment to the elementary school students who fell.She is a nurse, wears a pair of square-frame glasses, speaks quickly and crisply, has a small dimple on the left cheek, and has a quick temper.

"He's a little taller than me," Yu Zhou said to Wenfeng with gestures, "His hair is also stiff, with a crew cut, very similar to yours."

Fan Xing and Jiang Xiao stared blankly at Yu Zhou who was constantly telling false stories to satisfy Ji Chunyue and Wen Feng.

Fan Xing held Yu Zhou's hand again, that hand was as cold as if soaked in snow water.
