Abyss Notes [Unlimited]

On the ground, Yu Zhou and others were waiting in the open space.

When Bai Chan and Fan Xing fell to the ground with the battle, the earth was shaken, half of the "bird cage" was affected, and it was gradually cracking.Yu Zhou and Xu Qingyuan each grabbed a partner and ran towards the open place.Yu Zhou saw Fan Xing and Bai Chan fall from a distance, and he had no idea what happened after that.

The fire grew bigger and bigger, and the sky was scalded blood red.

"Did you see it?" Skull asked Yu Zhou, "Just now... Fan Xing."

"Yes." Yu Zhou replied.

"Are you afraid?" the skeleton asked, "That's really not a person."

Yu Zhou said calmly, "He's not a human being in the first place."

The skeleton looked at him for a while, then smiled and said, "You two are really interesting."

Behind the two, Liu Yingnian inspected his left arm by the firelight.The left arm had swollen to twice its original size, and the tentacles beneath the skin were no longer climbing and extending—but they were multiplying.

They absorb the flesh and blood of Liu Yingnian's arm, grow, thicken, and transform into something else, protruding from the arm like a reptile.

Liu Yingnian didn't feel any pain at all, he stared blankly at the gradual change in his arm, and it took a long time before he looked up at the sky.

There was only a bang, and a shadow flew up in the distance.It was the skeleton of the big fish that lifted Bai Chan's limp body into the air, and Fan Xing followed closely behind.

"An Liu—!" They heard Fan Xingweng roar, "Put him down!"

An Liu only cared about flying fast and never looked back.

Yu Zhou suddenly shook, An Liu and Fan Xing's emotions were unprecedentedly strong, anger, sadness, reluctance, pain, Yu Zhou was almost knocked down in an instant.He squatted down with the boulder beside him, and found that he was crying.

"Why are you crying?" the skeleton asked.

Yu Zhou couldn't answer.For the first time, An Liu's emotions completely overwhelmed Fan Xing and Yu Zhou's own emotions, his whole head was full of roars: No, no, no, no, no...

What happened and why it didn't work, Yu Zhou didn't know at all.He kept crying, his stomach twitched, and he even knelt on the ground shaking.

An Liu, Baichan and Fan Xing flew higher and higher, getting into the smoke and thick clouds in the sky, completely invisible.

Yu Zhou was dizzy from the pain like a raging wave, and he repeated An Liu's words: "No... no..."

The "Birdcage" is filled with the sound of the wind, the crackling of the trees in the flames, and the wailing of birds and monkeys.Yu Zhou's ears were buzzing, he heard the voices of Liu Yingnian and Xu Qingyuan, as if they were far away.

"Am I a normal human being?" Liu Yingnian asked, his voice was much calmer, almost numb and steady, "Look at my hands, Brother Hat. I might die here."

Xu Qingyuan was categorical: "Don't think wildly."

"If you see Jiang Xiao, remember to tell her that I miss her very much." Liu Yingnian pulled out his notebook from his backpack, "And this notebook, please take it back for me. The things recorded in it are very important, say It may be possible to add some evidence of 'gap' and 'birdcage' to the existing "Ash Notes."

"Take it back yourself, don't give it to me." Xu Qingyuan said indifferently, "Don't forget, I didn't come from the same place as you, and I don't want to go back at all. Tossing and turning in the cage, I just want to survive."

He pointed to his head: "You can't understand the feeling of having a chip installed in your head and being watched all your life."

The flames illuminated half of their faces. Xu Qingyuan stared at Liu Yingnian, then softened his tone for a while: "Keep such an important thing for yourself, and hand it over to your superior. Maybe your investigation bureau will make an exception and give you a promotion. You This is an opportunity to go directly from an intern to a full-time employee."

He forcibly opened the zipper of Liu Yingnian's backpack and stuffed the notebook back: "Don't be discouraged, Jiang Xiao is waiting for us to pick her up."

Liu Yingnian: "..." He silently accepted Xu Qingyuan's awkward tenderness.

The thick clouds in the sky suddenly exploded.

Yu Zhou and Skeleton kept staring upwards, and it was visible to the naked eye that something burst above the dense clouds, and then the dense clouds were blown away by the swirling airflow, revealing the splendid sky.

"...Bai Chan!" Yu Zhou lost his voice.

In the sky, only Fan Xing's pale body and An Liu's skeleton with mottled scars could be seen.

Bai Chan disappeared.

At the gap in the thick cloud, something that exploded was rising and falling with the air current.They faded like black splinters into something shimmering and white as snow, some falling and some rising.

Yu Zhou almost choked up when he heard his cry.The partner who couldn't shed tears used his eyes to cry, snow-like debris fell on An Liu and Fan Xing, and was soon blown away by the wind.

Those that fell were scorched by the fiery air currents and turned into ashes.The ashes continued to regenerate and fly up, endlessly, and scattered in all directions, gradually covering the entire "birdcage". The "birdcage" seems to have fallen a heavy snow.

Light and rising, the colors gradually become brighter.The jet-black debris turned into richer and more dazzling colors, embedded in the pitch-black sky, becoming stars, clouds, and a brilliant dragon stretching across the sky.It will coexist with this "birdcage" forever and will not die.

It was as if the crisp sound of trees being broken came one after another.The silver-white high tower Yunwaitian cracked inch by inch, and the huge fragments had already turned into dust in the wind before they hit the ground.Dust and snow-like ashes are entangled together, and thick fog rules the open country of wandering.

In the white mist, strange birds and monkey-faced children stood blankly.The human bodies of the monkey-faced children grew thick hair, and they recovered into little monkeys one after another, chattering and jumping around in a panic.The birds fell from the trees, their bodies elongated, stretched, and their limbs regenerated.

The "birdcage" was quickly filled with various human voices, laughing, crying, and terrified. People looked at Yu Zhou and others, and quickly turned to look for their friends, talking about life in the town.

Even their hair is white, like puppets made of dust and ashes.Soon, the doll begins to shatter.Before the people had finished speaking kindly to each other, they found that their companions disappeared one by one.

They stood in a daze, looking at their hands and feet that were gradually shattered.

"So we're dead." After being surprised, he began to laugh, "We're already dead? Oh, this birdcage is really..."

The flesh and blood of the people standing in the thick fog disappeared, leaving only a skeleton.The skeleton was taken aback: "Huh?!"

The skeletons raised their hands to say goodbye to each other: goodbye.Goodbye.There will be a period later.I can't bear it.I also want to see that dragon again.

They also waved to the adventurers who were standing still: Don't die.Find a way out of this ghost place.I want to go back!Must go back! !

The moment Fan Xing landed, a small whirlwind blew up.Wherever the whirlwind passed, even the skeleton was wiped out.

He made a fist in his hand, and An Liu, who had turned into a small dried fish, lay in his palm, holding a small broken dragon horn.

Dragon horns dissipate in the air.The dried fish crawled around in Fan Xing's palm, and whispered, "White Chan...Where's Bai Chan...?"

Yu Zhou jumped up from the ground and ran towards Fan Xing.Fan Xing has returned to human form, only a pair of eyes are still almost transparent gold.He closed his eyelids, took a step back subconsciously, and was hugged tightly by the rushing Yu Zhou.

The dried fish jumped out of his palm, fell on Yu Zhou's hair, and covered himself with it.Soon Yu Zhou's hair was wet.

Fan Xing hesitated, stroked the top of Yu Zhou's head, and asked softly, "...have you seen the real me?"

Yu Zhou hugged his shoulder and kissed him, without answering.

The anxiety dissipated from his chest, and Fan Xing hugged Yu Zhou even tighter.He doesn't need to ask any more.

After losing Bai Chan, the dried fish couldn't recover for a long time.

It wanted to take Bai Chan away, but after flying high into the sky, it was at a loss.Bai Chan can't leave the country of wandering, he is a caged bird.At the last moment, the sober Bai Chan hugged An Liu.He called Brother An Liu, thanked him, and repeatedly said sorry.

An Liu saw his eyes that had regained their clarity were slowly stained with blood again.Fan Xing rushed over at this moment.

Yugan couldn't sleep peacefully, it jumped up in fright after lying down for a while, chanting names such as Baichan and Fog Lamp.The skeleton allowed it to lie on top of its head to rest, and the dried fish kept crying, with tears streaming down the skull's eye sockets, as if it was crying too.

"Are you the only cage owner now?" Liu Yingnian asked Fan Xing.

At this time, everyone was resting in the open space. All the creatures in the "Birdcage" have turned into smoke and disappeared without a trace, and there are only a few of them left in the huge wandering country.The cracked ground has not yet healed, Fan Xing looked up and looked around, the basic terrain has not changed much, the rivers and mountains are still there, but the plants are scarce, and the vitality has not yet recovered.

"I don't know." Fan Xing said frankly.

Everyone looked at the skeleton.Skeleton: "I don't know either! The cage owner must be a living creature, at least a normal life. I...I'm not."

Yu Zhou and Fan Xing looked at each other.The skeleton killed the parasite, but no one could tell if it was the cage master.Taking a step back, even if it is the cage owner, it is impossible for it to die again.It can recover and speak after the skeleton was broken before. "Death" seems to be an unsolvable proposition for the skeleton.

Yu Zhou remembered one thing: "If you become the only cage owner, maybe your mother will come."

Fan Xing: "She hasn't come yet, that is to say, there is indeed a change?"

Xu Qingyuan didn't want to get entangled in this unanswered question: "Don't worry about this for now. How to open the door, how to get to Jiang Xiao's 'birdcage' according to the anchor point, did Bai Chan tell you?"

"No." Fan Xing recalled, "Whether Bai Chan, Fog Lamp, or other cage owners say there is no door. Even if we have an anchor point, we can't go back without a passage."

The atmosphere suddenly became tense.

The dried fish, who had cried enough, rubbed his eyes with his fins: "Bai...Bai Chan, he told me something. In the country of wandering, there is actually an eighth 'birdcage'."

This is the memory of the fog lamp, which entered Bai Chan's consciousness at the moment of final fusion.

The eighth "birdcage" is next to the "birdcage" where the fog lights were, and was discovered when the fog lights were poking around.

Fog lights have been to that "birdcage" many times. The "birdcage" is small, fuzzy around the edges, and empty.Fog lights have tried numerous times to engulf or erode this "birdcage", to no avail.No matter what she does, the little "birdcage" is always unaffected.

"Empty...a blank birdcage?" Yu Zhou suddenly thought of Mr. Gu in Wujiao Town, and Fu Yuncong who built the city by himself.After the two entered the "gap", they fell into the blank "bird cage", and immediately became the cage owner.

Fan Xing: "Since it is a blank 'bird cage', the cage owner is the first creature to enter the 'bird cage'. If the fog lamp is not the cage owner, then the original cage owner should still be inside."

"It's not a fog lamp, and there is no living thing inside, nothing." Yu Gan tried his best to recall Bai Chan's words, "It seems that the cage owner is not in the 'bird cage'."
