black abyss

More than 100 years of economic collapse and abnormal environment have caused many small and medium-sized towns to almost become dead cities.

It wasn't until half a century ago that the outpost tower was established in Lille, the economy began to recover slowly, and the population migrated to Lille.

This has also led to the fact that on the current map there is almost only Lille, a central city with a population of tens of millions, and many other small towns are scattered around Lille like stars in the sky.

Bai Nian drove out of the city of Lille with Chiwai, and the surrounding area became obviously deserted not long after leaving the city.

The car drove on the road for half an hour, and the surrounding area already looked like a desert. The wind mixed with yellow sand hit the car window.

Bai Nian drove all the way until the evening, and the setting sun cast a dim and ambiguous light on the edge of the sky.

After driving for four hours, Bai Nian's speed slowed down and he reached his destination.

This small town, hundreds of kilometers away from Lille, is called the Nest Town by the locals because it looks like a bird's nest under the house.

This town has a predestined relationship with Chiwai. He was taken out of the mental hospital by his aunt and grandmother many years ago, and it was this place that he ended up in.

It's been almost a century now, and Bai Nian is a little curious, do you still have memories of this place later?Bai Nian parked the car next to an abandoned fountain in the central square, and he got out of the car with Chi and the other two.

Chi Waiting was tall and long-legged, and stayed in the passenger seat for several hours. He opened the car door and got out immediately, wandering around this very small central square like letting the wind out.

"Teacher Bai, where is this?" Chi Waited wandered to the other side of the square and asked Bai Nian in a loud voice.

Bai Nian didn't have time to take care of Chi, he squinted his eyes and looked around. Before it was dark, no one was walking outside the town.

Bai Nian took out his suitcase from the back seat of his car, and the sound of closing the car door was very harsh in this small central square.

There was a small supermarket diagonally across from him, and someone looked out from behind the glass door.

Chi waited to notice the peeping gaze very quickly, and he walked towards the small supermarket with one long leg.

Bai Nian still stood in place to observe the environment, and built a circle of buildings around the central square, but they all seemed to be private residences, and the doors were closed at the moment.

According to the official data known in Bai Nian, the population of this town is very small, with less than one hundred households living in it. The demand for people here is not high, and it is almost self-sufficient.

There are countless towns like this around Lille, and House Nest Town is really not special among them.

The special thing is that Bai Nian lost his job three years ago, and once received an email claiming to be from the "city that never sleeps", the other party sincerely invited himself to work with him, and claimed that he could give him anything he wanted.

This advertising email was so ridiculous that Bai Nian deleted it without even thinking about it.

Until a few months later, the other party emailed a video of himself eating alone in a restaurant, and then said that he wanted to pay a lot of money for his spiritual prescription.

Bai Nian took it for granted that the other party was following him and threatening him.

He found someone to investigate the source of the email, and found that the address was actually a town called House Nest, which was hundreds of kilometers away from Lille.

During the time of the year, there was nothing to do, and he had a bad temper, even a little cynical.

Immediately replied to the other party's email, he brought a lot of drugs, and was going to meet and beat up this guy who didn't know what it was.

The person was not beaten, not only was he not beaten, but he did not even meet the buyer who deserved a beating.

But I also knew by fate that there is an underground city in the underground of Wuchao Town, which circulates many things that are not allowed to be circulated by the Lille City Government and the sentry tower.

It is like a dirty sewer, with desperate sentries, in exchange for some mental stability drugs, or to earn some money to support the family, performing games in the "Colosseum" of the dungeon.

The last time Bai Nian came here was brought by someone, and he didn't stay for long, and the transactions made after a long period of time were also completed directly online.

So now he only knows that there is such a place in Wuchao Town, but he doesn't know how to get there.

On the other side, Chiwai walked aggressively to the glass door of the supermarket, and he pushed open the glass door of the supermarket.

There was only a thin-looking cashier standing in the supermarket, and after seeing Chi Wait entered the door, he ran to the back of the cash register almost immediately, and he scolded angrily, "Who are you?! What do you want?!" Chi Wait He looked at this man as if looking at a small mouse. The man was thin and small, and he looked like an ordinary person with some kind of mental strength. Chi Wait raised his eyebrows, which was obviously a normal expression and tone, but let him do it. The attack was full of force: "Hey, what is this place, why is there no one? What were you looking at just now?" Chi Waited asked.

The little man seemed to be intimidated by the tone of delaying the questioning, he took out a strange walkie-talkie from nowhere, and said to the person over there in a sharp voice: "There are sentries, there are sentinel."

Chi Wait's ears were sharp, and he could vaguely hear the joking laughter of several men coming from the black receiver: "Have you seen too few sentries? Why are you afraid of sentries?" Go in the direction of the cashier.

The little mouse behind the cashier looked at Chiwai very vigilantly, and said in a shrill voice, "Stand there and don't move!" Chiwai paused, and then continued to walk towards the cashier indifferently. He sneered and said, "Hey, little mouse.

Seeing the sentry is like seeing a ghost, I just want to ask you—hiss—" Chi waited close to the cashier, before finishing his sentence, he didn't know where the mouse took out an electric shock rod, he raised his hand and directly Hit the electric shock baton on Chiwai's arm.

A burst of electric shock stung his body into paralysis for a moment, then his eyes turned red, and anger welled up in his brain. He reached out and grabbed the little mouse's clothes, lifted it up, and cursed in a dark voice: "You fucking What are you crazy about?" The mouse struggled, shaking its head, impatient with Chiwai, and directly pressed the opponent on the cash register.

The mouse was crushed on the cashier counter, almost completely powerless to resist, and a few impatient voices came from the walkie-talkie beside him: "I know, I know, I'm so annoying, there are so many things in a day, I'll be over soon .”

Chi Wait's face was full of hostility, I don't know why this rat-like thing is going crazy, did he just come in and ask normally, or does he look like a bad guy?He became upset when he thought of this, thinking that the teacher had taught him very well, what happened to this mouse, and questioned his teacher Bai's education level?He approached the thin mouse, and because of his displeasure, he said with a sullen face and voice, "I think you don't want to live anymore, I can just swallow you alive."

Because he was attacked for no reason, he intentionally threatened the other party, and the way he spoke was indeed like a perverted murderer.

The mouse on the cash register was almost immediately frightened by him. He trembled all over and said tremblingly, "I am protected. The sentries cannot hurt me, and you cannot hurt me, or you will be locked up by the city lord..." He repeated tremblingly, "I will be locked up."

Chiwai quickly extracted the key words: "City owner?" Before the child could speak, the glass door of the supermarket was opened again, and Bai Nian's indifferent voice reached Chiwai's ears: "What are you doing?" At the moment of the sound, he immediately let go of his hands that were pressing down on the other party. He spread his hands, turned his head to look at Bai Nian, and blinked innocently.

Bai Nian looked at him and signaled with his eyes that he had better explain why he started fighting with someone in just a few minutes.

Chi waited and immediately walked back to Bai Nian, he reached out his hand towards Bai Nian, and immediately put himself in the victim's stance: "Teacher Bai, he shocked me with an electric shock rod."

Chi waited and reprimanded, "And I just wanted to come in and ask him, what is this place, and why is he hiding behind the door to watch us."

Bai Nian thoughtfully glanced at the little man at the cashier who was looking at them cautiously, and he asked the other party very consistent with Chi Wait's description: "Little mouse, how do I get to the city that never sleeps?" The thin man named "Mouse" looked at Bai Nian and Chi hesitantly and waited for a while.

Bai Nian seemed to be impatiently facing the other party's scrutinizing gaze. His expression visible to the naked eye became impatient, and then directly threatened: "I'll pick out the eyeballs for you again."

The mouse immediately retracted its gaze timidly.

Bai Nian analyzed it in a very short period of time. The rat in this supermarket must have a secret, and the other party is timid and cowardly. Almost casual threats can make him ask what he wants to know.

Bai Nian walked towards the cash register, and then he heard the mouse muttering in a low voice: "You are a guide..." Bai Nian frowned.

Just at this moment, the glass door was pushed open again from the outside, and three burly men walked in from the outside. They seemed to have walked out of a small town tavern collectively, their faces still flushed slightly after drinking.

The man who came in first mocked with a trumpet-like voice: "Tu Zai, this is not the first time you have seen the sentry, why are you scared again? You are not a guide, which sentry would be interested in you? Hahaha. "

After he finished speaking, he laughed to himself, and the two men behind him also laughed after hearing the words.

Bai Nian turned his head to look at the three men who entered the door. These three men were all sentinels, about [-] years old.

There is no such thing as the listlessness that the sentinels in Lille usually have, and it seems that they are mentally well-coordinated.

Bai Nian's gaze scanned the three sentinels like a laboratory scanner.

And the man named Tu Zai behind him stared straight at Bai Nian's back with a pair of dark eyes, and then carefully looked at the terrifying sentinel standing beside Bai Nian.

He mumbled his lips for a long while, and swallowed the second half of what he wanted to say.

——As for the guides who sneaked into the city that never sleeps, unless they are very lucky, they will die, or they will not die or live.

Tu Zai looked at Chiwai, he felt that with Bai Nian's body and appearance, Chiwai might not be able to protect him well no matter how powerful he was.
