Abyss Notes [Unlimited]

Never has the night of the Wandering Land been so long.

Xu Qingyuan started a bonfire, Liu Yingnian lay in the distance without saying a word, the exhausted Fan Xing and Yugan snuggled up to Yu Zhou and fell asleep.

There was no sound of any living creature, only the gentle breathing of his companions was heard.Yugan said something about the blank "birdcage", his head tilted and he almost fell to the ground, and fell asleep directly.It is too tiring, too tiring.

Whether it was Fan Xing or Skull, the two kept trying, but neither of them could change anything in the "Birdcage".Thinking of the situation after the death of the fog lamp, they finally confirmed that the only cage owner of the Land of Wandering has not yet been determined.

The skeleton is a strange number made by the mother. It does not belong to normal life, but it happened to kill the parasite. The "Birdcage" cannot determine its exact identity, so Fan Xing is not qualified to control the "Birdcage".

"Do you want to go to that 'birdcage'?" Xu Qingyuan asked.

Skull and Yu Zhou nodded at the same time.

"...I have a feeling now that we may not be able to leave." Xu Qingyuan said, "That birdcage may be a turning point, or it may be a crisis."

Skeleton: "Besides this, is there any other way?"

Xu Qingyuan was silent.He rarely showed frustration and disappointment. At this time, he looked back at Liu Yingnian's back and lowered his voice: "A nerd's arm is very dangerous. If there is no other way, we should consider amputation."

Yu Zhou was taken aback: "But there are no medicines or tools here."

Xu Qingyuan: "As a tool, I can use a knife. But I don't have sewing needles and hemostats, I'm afraid it will..."

There was silence again around the campfire.Yugan didn't know when he opened his eyes, lying in Yu Zhou's hands, looking at him with round fish eyes. "Yu Zhou, I want to take a look around."

Yu Zhou carefully moved Fan Xing's body away, Fan Xing refused to let him go even in his sleep, the heat source between his arms disappeared, making him frown slightly even in his deep sleep.

The fire hadn't been extinguished yet, but it didn't expand anymore, and the darkness was pushed back to the distance by the fire. Yu Zhou knew that no matter whether it was bright or dark, there was no life at all.

Yu Zhou gently stroked the dried fish's little head with his fingers.Dried fish likes to be petted like this, it didn't say anything for a long time, and then suddenly called out: "Yu Zhou."

Yu Zhou: "Yes."

Yugan: "How long have you thought about it?"

Yu Zhou: "It's the same as you miss Bai Chan now."

Yugan suddenly raised his head, and Yu Zhou was looking down at it.After rolling it twice in Yu Zhou's hands, Yugan whispered, "I know, only you understand my feelings."

Yu Zhou sat beside a deep pit, where the little snake that turned into Bai Chan's right eye used to hide.The lake water has evaporated completely, and the silt at the bottom of the lake is black.The dried fish flicked its fins and sniffed desperately: "You can't smell it, but I know it. The breath left by the white toad is getting weaker and weaker, and it will disappear soon."

Dried fish——When it was named Anliu, its huge body and free posture that could swim around made it the envy of almost all children.Among the children, there are naturally some who are not so close to him, but Yugan treats everyone the same, clinging to each other, and does not flinch from the annoyed expressions of his younger siblings.

He had been alone, so he longed for company.

White Toad was thin and lonely, and looked like a human being, but his mother couldn't like his dark skin.Giving him a name is already the greatest gift, and Bai Chan's personality is not warm, so the mother quickly created a new child, and gradually forgot about Bai Chan.An Liu did not.An Liu likes to touch Bai Chan's skin with his fins, and then rolls over with a smile under Bai Chan's annoyed eyes.

When he was in a good mood, Bai Chan would clumsily climb up An Liu's back.All the children live in the huge "birdcage" where the mother lives, which is a wider space than any birdcage Yu Zhou and the others have ever been to.An Liu carried Bai Chan to swim in the boundless sky. Bai Chan, who was not good at talking, excitedly hugged An Liu's horn and jumped on the fish's back.

"He was very lively at that time, but he didn't like to talk, and he didn't know how to talk." Gan Yu lay on his back, "I wish I could spend more time teaching him how to speak."

"You have to take care of so many children."

Yugan glared at Yu Zhou: "Human beings are really nice, they only give birth to one or two. If there are too many, I really can't take care of them."

Yu Zhou thought it was funny, and rubbed its head to make it shake back and forth: "Yes, mother fish, An Liu."

With a sudden movement in his heart, he lowered his head and asked Yugan: "Apart from taking care of mother's children, is there anything else you want to do?"

Dried fish: "No."

Yu Zhou: "Not now?"

Yugan: "Adventure with you, okay?"

Yu Zhou: "Forget it."

Yugan seemed a little happy, waving its fins: "This is much more fun than taking care of children." It quickly became sad: "But you, Brother Mao, Xiaoxiao, are going to leave."

Yu Zhou was silent.

"...It would be great if Fan Xing and I could go to your world. I haven't seen Jiu Jiu before." Yu Gan murmured.

Yu Zhou couldn't say a word, just quietly watching the dried fish who was imagining Jiu Jiu and that world.

The night was horribly long, Fan Xing rested well, and the sky was still dark when he got up.The fire had already been extinguished, and in the sky, except for the gray clouds that looked like cotton wool, only the brilliant dragon shadow transformed into a white toad flickered in the smoke.

Yu Zhou woke up Liu Yingnian and found that Liu Yingnian's sleeping face was covered with tears.His left arm was weirdly swollen, and he hid it shyly in his sleeve, refusing to let Yu Zhou see it or touch it.Xu Qingyuan thought he was wordy, grabbed Liu Yingnian's left hand and walked forward.

"It hurts..." Liu Yingnian struggled.

Fan Xing went over to look at it, and commented: "It's not bad, much better than me."

Liu Yingnian said with a mournful face, "What?"

Fan Xing: "Didn't you see what I looked like last night?"

Of course Liu Yingnian remembered: "What does it look like? He's handsome and energetic."

Fan Xing stared at him blankly, Liu Yingnian shrugged his shoulders: "I, I didn't lie."

Yu Zhou jumped over: "That's right! You're so handsome."

Fan Xing didn't expect that when he wanted to comfort Liu Yingnian, he turned out to be elated instead.Liu Yingnian came back to his senses, and said with a mournful face, "If you can't speak, you don't have to."

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry," Fan Xing held his heavy left hand, nodded and bowed, and was the first to bring him onto An Liu's back.

After everyone was seated, An Liu swung his four fins and took off slowly.

Their destination is the mysterious "Birdcage" in the far north.

On the way, Liu Yingnian was attracted by the black forest below.

All living creatures in the forest, whether they were monsters mutated by adventurers, or birds and beasts, all disappeared with the disappearance of the white toad.The forest is quiet, only the cold sound of the wind blowing the black dead branches and colliding with each other.

"The four-legged snakes are gone too?" Liu Yingnian murmured, "I even drew them in my notebook."

Fan Xing and Xu Qingyuan were grabbing Liu Yingnian's swollen and stiff left hand, showing him the palmistry.The two were talking nonsense, and after hearing Liu Yingnian's words, Fan Xing had an idea, turned his head and said to the skeleton, "Whether the cage owner is me or you, we have to repair this place."

Skull: "Restore the Kingdom of Wandering to what it was when Bai Chan was here."

Fan Xing: "Including other birdcages."

Skull: "That's exactly what I mean."

It waved its arms with only bones left: "There must be a river here, a mountain here, and a big lake to the east..."

Liu Yingnian gradually regained his energy: "Wait, wait, I can draw it." He clumsily took out his notebook, grabbed the worn pencil with his right hand, and drew a map on the blank page.

Yu Zhou took out the Notes of the Abyss from his backpack.The prophecy about Bai Chan in the diary had already been fulfilled, Yu Zhou stared at the broken butterfly on the screen in a daze, and suddenly saw traces of lines on the back of the paper.

Turning a page, there is a huge eye drawn on the white paper.

Passing over the "birdcage" where the fog lights were at that time, and continuing to the north, a red patch can be seen faintly.

That's not fire.An Liu hovered high in the sky, and in front of him was a huge semicircular object.The object is white, like a big cover, with red lightning flashing outside the cover, which is a protective net to defend the cover.

"An Liu can't say it." Yu Zhou murmured, "The fog lamp had mother's tentacles on it at the time, and she relied on her mother's strength to pass through this protective net."

Liu Yingnian's eyes widened: "...Is this what the 'birdcage' looks like? Every 'birdcage' has a protective net like this? Was it designed by your mother?"

Fan Xing suddenly interrupted: "No."

He patted An Liu on the back: "An Liu, rush over."

An Liu flicked the fin and almost knocked Fan Xing over.

"Rush over, there's no problem, you and I will never get hurt." A strange joy and excitement flashed on his face, and he held Yu Zhou's hand tightly, and the huge bone wings suddenly spread out behind him , "I will protect the others on your back."

An Liu paused, angry and puzzled, but still following Fan Xing's instructions, he descended abruptly and rushed towards the "birdcage" ahead.

The bone wings protect everyone on the back, and when passing through the protective net covered with red electric lights, it is really as smooth as passing through a water curtain.Yu Zhou was surprised when Fan Xing, who was holding him in his arms, suddenly kissed his earlobe while no one was paying attention, as if he was very happy and happy.

An Liu fell to the ground, threw off everyone on his back, and turned into a small dried fish.It nervously inspected its whole body, and after a while it was surprised: "Hey, it's really not hurt."

"No brain is useless." Fan Xing said, "This is the protection net you and I set up together."

Yugan: "...What? I have done this kind of thing before?" It looked around, "But I have no impression of this place at all."

"You have forgotten many things, even here." Fan Xing stood up, looked around, and walked forward.

This is indeed a strange "bird cage".All around was nothingness, without sky or earth, without borders, without any identifiable things.The only thing in the air that makes people feel different from the country of wandering is the obvious humidity.

They seemed to be suspended in an unreliable space, Liu Yingnian suddenly became nervous, and shrank behind Xu Qingyuan.

Fan Xing stood still in one place, and waved to Yu Zhou: "Yu Zhou."

Yu Zhou walked over and didn't see anything: "What?"

"Look here." Fan Xing lowered his head and tapped his toes.

In front of his toes, there are some light black traces on the white ground, which seem to have been here for a long time, gradually merging with the pale ground.They were so inconspicuous that the fog lights never spotted them.

Yu Zhou squatted on the ground to identify.

"...Yes, strokes?" Yu Zhou narrowed his eyes, he couldn't tell what kind of characters it was, he could only confirm that he didn't recognize it clearly.There are people from different time and space in the gap, this is obviously a kind of handwriting that he has never seen before.

"It was raining at that time, the note was wet, and the words were blurred." Fan Xing said, "An Liu and I guessed that what was written on it might be the child's birthday or his name. Don't you humans value these things the most?"

Yu Zhou let out a "hmm".

But immediately, some fragments flashed through his mind.He sat in Fan Xing's arms, and Fan Xing embraced him with four hands and bone wings. They looked at the sea, and on the shore, a strange skeleton poked its head out.

What did Fan Xing say at that time?

He and An Liu patrolled the birdcage.They found a wet baby.An Liu asked him to give up the baby, but Fan Xing was unwilling.Holding the weak and crying baby in his arms, he begged An Liu to save her.

"...An Liu...An Liu!" Yu Zhou yelled, "Eyes! An Liu's eyes! And mine...my..."

"En." Fan Xing knelt down in front of Yu Zhou, brushed away Yu Zhou's long hair, and looked directly into those eyes that were moist with excitement and ecstasy.Yu Zhou's emotions were instantly as strong as a torrential wind, Fan Xing was affected, and his hands couldn't help shaking slightly.He pinned Yu Zhou's hair behind his ears with an unprecedented gentleness.

"Yes," Fan Xing smiled, "This is your sister, Jiu Jiu's 'birdcage'."
