Abyss Notes [Unlimited]

"Why do you have to eat people?" Xu Qingyuan asked suddenly.

From the attitude of the will, they noticed that it does not have strong malice and murderous intent now.

Will lowered his own height, but he was still taller than the two people who just got up from the ground and sat slumped on the ground leaning on each other.The cage wire took its toll on them, growing and digging into the flesh and going into the bones and viscera.On Yu Zhou and Xu Qingyuan's bodies, more than a dozen small wounds were oozing blood.

Compared with the pale-faced Yu Zhou, Xu Qingyuan was calmer, it seemed that this injury and pain were not enough to defeat him.

Will answered his question: "Only by devouring humans can I understand structure."

Xu Qingyuan was not surprised, the skeleton was also eaten by it.He was just a little puzzled: "Didn't you eat one?"

"It's been too long, I forgot." Will looked up at the egg-like birdcage above his head, "In my 'birdcage', the flow of time is different from outside."

Xu Qingyuan: "We have spent ten days here."

The one-eyed will reveals a hint of surprise: "Ten days?...Oh, are you counting the moments silently?"

Xu Qingyuan counted 24 hours as a day. When Yu Zhou was still awake, he relied on the pain from the wire to keep him awake and counted in his heart.

Will: "Interesting, humans like you are rare." It thought for a while, "Fan Xing is very similar to you."

Xu Qingyuan: "What's the point of eating us?"

The will asks back: "What is interesting?"

Xu Qingyuan: "You can't leave here, right?"

Will: "But there are people from different time and space here, and I can get information by observing them."

Xu Qingyuan: "Has anyone talked to you about what happened in your own time and space?"

The will is silent.

Xu Qingyuan and Yu Zhou exchanged glances.

During the adventure with An Liu and Keku, they heard a lot about will.The will is not cunning, nor does it like to play tricks.In this gap where it is the only one, it does not need to compete mentally with anyone at all, and no intelligent creature can stand shoulder to shoulder with it.

Except for Fan Xing back then.

But Fan Xing is more interested in the formation of gaps and the formation of "birdcages". He himself is not a smooth and mature person, and his only scheming is used to save his life—to make the will think that he and the will are standing together. live on.

The will has no template to learn from, nor does it like to learn.Therefore, it never lies, never pretends, and never expresses twists and turns.

Facing the silence of will, Xu Qingyuan and Yu Zhou knew that the answer was no.

"Do you know that the skeleton...is Fan Xing, the nomenclature for each time and space?" Xu Qingyuan asked.

Will: "I know." It pointed at Yu Zhou, "This person comes from the same time and space as Fan Xing, and I can smell a similar smell from them. That time and space is called Alpha."

Xu Qingyuan: "What about mine?"

Will stretched out its tentacles, the tip of the tentacles split open, and smaller tentacles crawled out.They probed into the wound holes on Xu Qingyuan's body to suck blood.

"...You come from ∑, the time and space of Sigma." Will replied.

Yu Zhou saw that Xu Qingyuan, who had been calm all the time, was obviously shocked.

"What's wrong with Xi, Sigma?" Yu Zhou hurriedly asked.

"The No. 18 letter in the Greek alphabet is called Sigma." Xu Qingyuan couldn't hide his wavering and fear, "...in the gap, there are at least eighteen time-space creatures."

Yu Zhou's scalp was numb, and he couldn't help but look up again.In the stacked birdcages, unknown creatures uttered ravings, and they were repeating the word "Sigma".The sound rippled and echoed little by little, buzzing and hitting the top of their heads.

Yu Zhou grabbed Xu Qingyuan's hand: "Brother Hat."

This made Xu Qingyuan regain his composure.Will watched the interaction between the two with great interest, and then said: "You come from the time and space of Sigma, so what?"

"A very special world." Xu Qingyuan said, "Humans use cannibalism to ensure their own survival."

Yu Zhou returned to his cage.

Perhaps it was special preferential treatment for him, the metal wires growing out of the cage grew extremely slowly, and would not penetrate Yu Zhou's body for quite a long period of time.Although he has to keep standing, it is much better than before.

Will has no interest in Yu Zhou from Alpha time and space, but Xu Qingyuan from Sigma time and space aroused her curiosity.

Cannibalism, Xu Qingyuan said, many of the children it discarded are doing such things.

The Sigma space-time described by Xu Qingyuan is a rather chaotic world.The earth is divided, the hearts of the people are divided, he is a bred beast, and he has no other mission except killing.The sky is always occupied by black and red, it is smoke and fire, they spread across the land day and night, the number of human beings is getting smaller and smaller, but they always have a way to give birth to enough lives to become new wastes of war.

"Humans will create life in this way?" Will asked, "Fan Xing said that without love and emotion, life is not worth looking forward to."

"In the time and space of Sigma, ordinary humans don't have any expectations of love and affection." Xu Qingyuan said, "Our only expectation is to survive."

This narration lasted for a long time, so long that Yu Zhou fell asleep and woke up again, his mind was muddled, worried about Xu Qingyuan, worried about himself, and at a loss by the strong emotions from An Liu and Fan Xing.

An Liu and Fan Xing are approaching this "birdcage". They don't have tactile wires on their bodies, and their will cannot detect their whereabouts.

Yu Zhou's heart was beating wildly.What happens when Fan wakes up?Will a dispute break out between him and Will?The will hit Fan Xing hard in the Land of Wandering, how could Fan Xing defeat it?Yu Zhou's mind was full of such questions, and he couldn't get a reliable answer.

Xu Qingyuan narrated the sigma time and space, and the will listened with gusto.

In the gap between the narration, Will asked him: "Everyone who entered the 'gap' wants to go back, and you want to?"

"No." Xu Qingyuan replied immediately, "I don't want to go back at all, your 'gap' is very good, as long as I can survive, I plan to stay here forever."

Will smiled: "You can't go back either."

Xu Qingyuan: "Someone has left the 'gap'."

"I know." Will said, "A child, and my most misbehaving Fan Xing."

Xu Qingyuan's heart suddenly moved.Then I heard the will continue to say: "In order to let that child go back, An Liu sacrificed one of his eyes. I didn't expect it to be so stupid."

"..." Xu Qingyuan just listened, not responding at all.He frantically went back in his mind, trying to piece together the fragmented words Liu Yingnian had said into a believable truth.

"I've noticed all this, but there's no point in blaming An Liu and Fan Xing." Will said, "Only severe punishment can wake them up and make them remember firmly that they can't do these things again. That human child is not It is her fate that she may survive in the cracks. Don’t you believe in fate? Fate cannot be changed.”

Xu Qingyuan repeated the words of will: "Fate... cannot be changed."

He had a strange premonition in his heart, and he couldn't help turning his head to look at Yu Zhou.Yu Zhou was watching him from the birdcage in the distance, with a look of anxiety on his face.

"Except for Fan Xing and Xiaoer, have no other adventurers ever left your 'gap'?" Xu Qingyuan adjusted his tone and chuckled, "Are you so sure? An Liu can steal the skeleton, Fan Xing can steal your Abyss Notes, Maybe there are other people who secretly did something without telling you."

Will seems to like chatting with Xu Qingyuan very much.It doesn't hide or hold back, because it believes that Xu Qingyuan can't escape from his palm, and there is no more powerful force in this space except himself.

"The only ones who can forcibly open a trap from the gap are me and An Liu." It said, "An Liu needs to sacrifice his eyes to create a trap. It has lost two eyes and has no ability to change the flow of time and space. .And I remember every trap I created myself."

Will's answer is decisive.

After leaving for a long time, An Liu sacrificed an eyeball.Fan Xing left, and An Liu sacrificed his last remaining eyeball.Besides—in the will's present memory—no one ever left the "gap".

Xu Qingyuan's heart was beating wildly, he was almost out of breath, and the ecstasy of foretelling his fate by chance hit him.But immediately, ecstasy turned to melancholy, and he knew he had to make a choice.

Looking at Yu Zhou, he observed the birdcage where Yu Zhou was once again.

In the long and narrow birdcage, Yu Zhou had to maintain a standing posture all the time, and had to tilt his head slightly.He is like a real bird.

The bird is in the cage.

Yu Zhou opened his mouth and spoke silently: They are here.

Xu Qingyuan's expression was normal, and it was impossible to see whether he understood what Yu Zhou said.

The few words Liu Yingnian said shook Xu Qingyuan's heart: the "returner" who returned to reality from the "gap" brought back all the knowledge about the "gap" and "birdcage", and a precious "Ash Notes" .

"What are you thinking?" Will suddenly asked.

Xu Qingyuan withdrew his gaze, he had already adjusted himself, no wavering or apprehension could be seen on his face.

"I was thinking, how can I continue to live." Xu Qingyuan said, "I am too weak in front of you."

His showing of weakness pleased the will.

"You don't look delicious." Will seemed to be recalling Fan Xing, "I will never meet such a perfect human being as Fan Xing again."

"What kind of human can be called perfect?" Xu Qingyuan asked suddenly.

"No impurities, clean and orderly." Will said, "I can't digest impurities. I don't like human bones, blood and flesh mixed with impurities."

Xu Qingyuan listened quietly: "Stuff."

Will stared at his face: "What are you thinking?"

"I was thinking, can you give me eternal life?" Xu Qingyuan said, "You need to taste a human to gain structural knowledge, and I need to live forever."

He got up, took off his clothes, and stood naked in front of the will.

He has a healthy, strong body, almost perfect body shape, and he will not be timid when facing anyone's eyes.

"There are no impurities in my body." Xu Qingyuan said, "I want to get a guarantee from you. Let me become a life like a skeleton, live forever, in your world."

The densely packed birdcages conceal the movement in the corner.

The big fish skeleton opened a corner of the birdcage and got in. It was obviously startled by the sight in front of it.

At least when An Liu's heart was taken away and thrown into the ocean, the mother's birdcage didn't look so weird.

Fan Xing patted An Liu on the back: "Get smaller and go find Yu Zhou."

The dried fish fluttered and swam away in his palm.It cautiously passed through countless birdcages.Occasionally, the creatures in the cage saw this strange, small intruder in the faint light, and they tried to remind the will, trying to get the forgiveness and pardon of the will by telling the truth, but more creatures were buzzing and whispering, " sigma, sigma", small reminders are completely covered up by huge moans and noises.

Yugan knew the direction of Yu Zhou, it got into Yu Zhou's birdcage, and hid in Yu Zhou's hair from behind.

Yu Zhou immediately sensed its approach, and bit his lip hard to wake himself up.

Dried fish lay on Yu Zhou's ear, looking at Xu Qingyuan who was talking to Will in the distance.

Suddenly, Xu Qingyuan stood up.He turned his head and strode towards Yu Zhou.

The birdcage where Yu Zhou was located slowly descended.

"...Mother is in a good mood." Yugan was keenly aware of the surrounding atmosphere, "What did Xu Qingyuan tell her?"

Xu Qingyuan had already come in front of them.Yu Zhou had an ominous premonition, he stretched out his hand out of the birdcage, and grabbed Xu Qingyuan's arm: "Brother Hat?"

Xu Qingyuan said: "Do you still remember that both Liu Yingnian and Jiang Xiao said that the flow of time in the 'gap' is different from other time and space."

Of course Yu Zhou remembered that Liu Yingnian arrived in Wujiao Town together with him, but there was a gap of several years between the time when the two fell into the "empty space" in Alpha time and space.Jiang Xiao has experienced many "birdcages", and she has seen countless adventurers who fell here from the chaotic space-time line.

"Entering the 'gap' from the outside, the time is disordered." Xu Qingyuan said, "Leaving the 'gap' and returning to another time and space, the time may also be disordered."

Yu Zhou was puzzled: "What are you talking about?"

Xu Qingyuan: "Didn't you notice? We are in the 'Gap', and we haven't met anyone from the future yet."

Yu Zhou: "Not... the future?"

Xu Qingyuan: "Someone closed 'Trap' forever."

Yu Zhou shut his mouth tightly.Yugan poked a small head out of Yu Zhou's hair: "Who? Mother?"

Xu Qingyuan: "Of course not."

He didn't intend to tell his prediction frankly, for fear of being heard by the will.Raising his hand, he stroked Yu Zhou's hair: "You must keep the notebook Liu Yingnian gave you. I hope that all of us can realize our wishes."

Yu Zhou: "What did you tell Will? What did you promise her? Brother Hat!"

Xu Qingyuan finally stared at the dried fish.He knew that when the dried fish arrived here, Fan Xing must also be here.

He opened his mouth and said silently: I will create an opportunity for Fan Xing, the only opportunity.

"Brother Hat?!" Yugan was taken aback.

Xu Qingyuan took two steps back, waved his hand at Yu Zhou, and said in a clear voice: "It allows me to say goodbye to you. Goodbye, my friend."

Yu Zhou's hairs stood on end, Xu Qingyuan's current state made him think of Liu Yingnian. "Brother Hat!!!"

Xu Qingyuan turned around and walked towards Will.He raised his right hand and waved it, touching his bare head.

On the back of the head, a surgical scar was clearly visible.
