Abyss Notes [Unlimited]

Liu Yingnian's notebook records are very detailed. Yu Zhou hadn't read it carefully from the beginning to the end before. During the time he stayed in the aid station, he turned it over and over dozens of times.

The police did not confiscate his personal belongings and returned them to him after inspection. Yu Zhou was very thankful.At the same time, anyone who reads what Liu Yingnian wrote in his diary finds it inscrutable and vague.This further confirmed him—this downcast and strange young man who was temporarily insane was really a college student.

From Wujiao Town to the country where Bai Chan lives in the Wandering Country, Liu Yingnian kept recording things in his notebook.He must have thought that he could go back, that he could add more useful content to "Ash Notes".

Thinking of Liu Yingnian deceiving himself when he first entered Wujiao Town, Yu Zhou felt an indescribable sadness and discomfort.

In addition to everything they experienced, this time, Yu Zhou also found something else on the last page of his notes.

It was written by Liu Yingnian on his last night in the Land of Wandering.The next day, when facing the will, he chose to sacrifice himself and merge with the skeleton.

"The arm hurts too much, I can't take it. I don't want them to know. Now is not the time to care about me. The most important thing is whether I can get out of here. I know it may be, and I may not be able to. I may not be suitable from the beginning This job is not suitable for being a hero, not suitable for adventure.

I really want to go home. "

After a piece of text that was too messy to see clearly and was also wet and melted by tears, there was a line of barely legible words—how to prove that I existed?Burned?I am nothing but a pile of ashes.

The bus finally arrived at the gate of Longtan Park.The area of ​​the park is relatively large, and a cordon has been erected around the central island where there is a void, and there is no restriction on crowds in other places.Many citizens watched, Yu Zhou found a place with a good enough view and forced his way into the crowd.

From a distance, you can see a hole in the ground of the central island.The trap will not disappear, but after someone passes through it, it will become an unremarkable deep hole, and it will no longer be possible to enter the "gap" through it.Yu Zhou watched on tiptoe, and finally saw a person in civilian clothes without a badge among the crowd near Central Island, but apparently giving orders to the investigators.

That should be someone from the deep hole investigation team in the investigation bureau.

Yu Zhou walked through the crowd and was stopped by the police near the cordon.He calmly raised the cordon, imitating the powerful characters on TV, raised his head and said casually: "Investigator of Deep Hole."

The policeman was taken aback, when the leader happened to walk over.She looked up at Yu Zhou: "Which department are you in?"

Yu Zhou glanced at the sign on her chest: Song Faner.There is a strange mark on the sign, and there is no organization or rank name other than the name.

"I'm someone who came back from the 'gap'." Yu Zhou said.

How to make people in the investigation bureau interested in one sentence, Yu Zhou did it.

Back in the investigation bureau, Yu Zhou was held up, walked through the winding corridors, went downstairs, went upstairs, went downstairs again, and entered the basement of a small building.Song Faner and two members of the deep hole investigation team stared at Yu Zhou, the headlights were on, and Yu Zhou couldn't keep his eyes open.This is the stance of an interrogation.

"How do you know about the 'gap'?" Song Fan asked.

The narrow gap that exists between different time and space, the channel that communicates time and space with this narrow place, was named only recently: gap, trap.

The word trap has spread through society, but "gaps" have not.

Not a person in a deep hole, or not a person who studies a hole, this is not a common word.

Yu Zhou rubbed his eyes, pretending that his eyes were sore, and his mind was running fast.

During the time he stayed in the rescue station, he kept recalling what happened with his companions.What puzzled him the most was that Xu Qingyuan told him to take Liu Yingnian's notes when he parted, but he refused to explain why he should bring them, only vaguely hinting, why?

Yu Zhou came up with the answer himself: Xu Qingyuan was just guessing at the time, although the possibility was extremely high, he couldn't say it casually.If Yu Zhou returns to the alpha time and space and finds that everything is not what Xu Qingyuan expected, it will be another heavy blow to Yu Zhou: the trap created by An Liu for Jiu Jiu has no clear direction. The same goes for traps created by waking up.

Yu Zhou later understood: Even if he goes back to the past, he can't save anyone.

He couldn't save Liu Yingnian, couldn't stop Fu Yuncong, Jiang Xiao, and couldn't even stop Hu Weiwei from killing people.He is the Observer who knows all.

Only when time moves forward in the same way, can he go back to the past: as long as one less person enters the birdcage, he will not be able to return—without Jiang Xiao, they will be trapped in the Plasse Continent; without Liu Yingnian, they may not return. Killed by will; Fan Xing could not successfully become will, Yu Zhou could not bring back the notes, "Ash Notes" did not exist in the world, and those precious information about gaps and traps could not reach Liu Yingnian.

How would he explain all this to the Bureau of Investigation?

First of all, he had to convince the investigators of the Bureau of Investigation.

"Where did you hear the word 'gap'?" Song Fan asked again.

She has a capable appearance, her hair is tightly combed into a ponytail, revealing her forehead and a pair of sharp eyebrows. The eyes that fell on Yu Zhou seemed to want to see through him.

Yu Zhou regretted a little: they didn't ask Liu Yingnian who was in the deep hole investigation team.

Fortunately, this situation has been expected.He decided to follow the pre-planned sequence, step by step.

First of all, it is the secret information about "gap" and trap.

Yu Zhou started from the "Moho Project" in 1961.Liu Yingnian told them these past messages in Fu Yuncong's city that day, and wrote them neatly in his notes after speaking.From the American Moho Project to the German KTB Project, Yu Zhou remembered everything clearly.

It was they who discovered the "gap" and created the first "cavity".

The three quietly listened to him, and Song Faner suddenly asked: "Then do you know where is the trap that our country has drilled itself?"

Yu Zhou was startled: "...I don't know."

Song Faner couldn't help showing a mocking smile: "Is there any other excuse?" She took out a notebook from under the table.Yu Zhou's heart sank: When he was brought in, everything on him was confiscated, and what Song Faner held was Liu Yingnian's notes.

"Writing novels? So good at editing." Song Fan said, "This is your outline?"

On the cover of Liu Yingnian's notebook, a line was hidden: National Bureau of Investigation.

Song Faner handed the notebook to the other two people, who shook their heads: "I've never seen this style before."

Yu Zhou thought: ... This is the style of ten years later, 2019.

"It's written in detail, but there have already been a lot of documentaries and literature research on the emergence of traps. What you said are all commonplace." Song Fan's eyes became more serious, "Why don't you just tell us the truth of the leak? who is it."

Yu Zhou started the second step.He didn't hide anything, he was very frank: "Fan Xing."

Song Faner: "... who?"

Yu Zhou repeated clearly and forcefully: "Fan Xing."

Song Faner: "There is no such person in the investigation team."

Yu Zhou: "Yes, you just don't know them."

The people around him suddenly patted Song Faner on the shoulder.The man was older than Song Faner, and with obvious shock in his eyes, he whispered in Song Faner's ear.Song Fan'er's gaze changed, and the three got up and left the small room.

Yu Zhou closed his eyes to rest.He was actually very, very nervous, his palms even broke out in cold sweat, his fingertips were sticky and trembling slightly.

Can he hold on?Can you restrain your desire to talk?Can it survive until the year when it all started without incident?

... He is really, very, very, missed for a long time.

When the door opened again, more than three people came in.

"Who are you? How do you know Fan Xing?" the older man asked, "Where did you meet him?"

Yu Zhou repeated again: "'Gap'."

Many days later, when Yu Zhou finally gained freedom of movement, he saw Fan Xing in an old photo in the investigation bureau's archives.

The young Fan Xing was wearing a white shirt and black trousers, with the corners of the clothes half-tucked into the belt, with a lazy and indifferent posture.

He took a group photo with his colleagues, everyone's face was slightly reserved and full of vigor unique to that era, only he was different: he didn't look at the camera at all, his eyes fell on the top of the photographer's head, he didn't know what to look at, what to think, he was so arrogant out of place.

In the dusty crowd, he has a striking handsomeness that makes it difficult to look away.

Song Faner followed Yu Zhou closely, following Yu Zhou's gaze.She didn't know him, let alone Fan Xing. At the beginning of the "Deep Hole" investigation team, it experienced many personnel changes. Only the old employees of the investigation bureau still vaguely remember this name.

"He... really turned into a skeleton?" She couldn't help asking.

"Yeah." Yu Zhou nodded, "Have you not contacted his family yet?"

Song Faner shook his head: "After he disappeared, the two old people were so sad that the family members simply took them abroad and lost contact with us."

Yu Zhou asked the administrator of the archives room: "Can I copy a photo of Fan Xing?"

Fan Xing's family could not be contacted, and the old files were destroyed, only this photo taken at work that year remained.The older leader of the investigation bureau, someone remembers him, that proud, narcissistic but exceptionally outstanding young man, with good family conditions, excellent academic qualifications, and outstanding abilities, but fell into a trap by accident and disappeared since then.

The administrator looked at Song Faner, and Song Faner nodded.

Yu Zhou cherished Fan Xing's photo very, very much.The administrator helped him pass the plastic, and he took it respectfully with both hands, said "thank you" several times, and asked for an envelope, carefully put the photo in it, and put it in his backpack.

"...You have a good relationship with Fan Xing?" Song Faner asked.

"Yeah." Yu Zhou smiled, "I like him."

In the end, it was not only the old man "Fan Xing" who convinced the investigation bureau that Yu Zhou's identity was special.

The Bureau of Investigation took Yu Zhou's blood for further subdivision and testing, and also separated strange blood from the white jumper Yu Zhou carried with him.The two samples underwent numerous tests, and finally came to the conclusion that they did not look like human blood.

The two bloods are not alike.

Yu Zhou's blood samples are very similar to human beings, and ordinary medical institutions cannot find the difference, but the content of some elements in it is either far higher or much lower than the normal value.

In addition, the Investigation Bureau also has its own scientific investigation methods.Regarding things like "gap", "entrapment" and "will" that Yu Zhou said, investigation agencies around the world have conducted limited research and sharing, which can verify Yu Zhou's statement.

Most importantly, Yu Zhou revealed a trap that they haven't discovered yet.

On the morning of December 1981, 12, in Nanzhuangyong, Chancheng District, Foshan City, Guangdong Province, a teacher surnamed Gu fell into a trap while going out to buy breakfast.

Song Faner checked the files, but there was no such record.To be on the safe side, the deep hole investigation team sent personnel to Foshan for investigation.

It has been more than 20 years. Fortunately, Mr. Gu's family still lives in the cramped house.His wife thought that Mr. Gu couldn't bear the hardship of taking care of the children, so she chose to leave, or went away, or passed away.

After checking the missing persons data and visiting the neighborhoods and streets, the investigation team finally found a deep hole behind an old shop specializing in beef sausage rolls.

The sudden appearance of the pothole does not produce water, does not see the bottom, and appears very abruptly.The owner who shopped early was superstitious, fearing that this thing would ruin the business and family luck, he hurriedly asked the master to seal it. Except for three or two people in the family, no one has ever known about it for more than 20 years.

At that time, entrapment only appeared sporadically on the earth. In the era of TV and Internet, people didn't know what "entrapment" was at all.

The collection of many facts finally convinced the Bureau of Investigation of Yu Zhou's identity.But until that notebook was thoroughly studied, he could not leave the scope of the Bureau of Investigation.

Yu Zhou didn't care, he knew that the less contact he had with people, the less likely he would disturb the timeline.

Leaving the archives room, Song Faner reminded Yu Zhou that the precious half-hour exile every day was over, and he had to go back to his own confinement room.

Song Faner looked at his watch: "Also, at seven o'clock tonight, we will start to study the special language in the notes."

Yu Zhou: "Well, that's the language of Gama time and space, but unfortunately I have forgotten how to pronounce it. Anyway, I will try my best to teach you."

Song Faner: "Gama time and space...does there really exist so many time and space?"

Yu Zhou: "Yes."

He saw a familiar excitement, curiosity and enthusiasm in Song Fan'er's eyes.It was exactly the same as what he had seen in Liu Yingnian's eyes. The "gap" is too unexpected, and they happen to be researchers in this field, no one can resist this temptation.

"...Don't go in." Yu Zhou said, "You will be trapped inside forever."

Just as he was about to refute, Song Faner suddenly remembered something, and took out something from his briefcase.

"We went to the sewage treatment plant, and you said you fell into the bushes, but nothing was found in the bushes." She gestured for Yu Zhou to open her hand, "Then I asked the guard, and the guard said that when you came out crookedly, there was something wrong. An object fell on the road. It was chaotic and no one noticed, but he picked it up later and gave it to his grandson to play with."

Yu Zhou: "What?"

Song Faner: "Look, is this yours?"

She let go, and a golden eyeball with only half of it left gently landed in Yu Zhou's palm.
