Played by the devil in the palm of his hand

Chapter 26 The Edge of the City

Chang'an Town is very big, and the off-road vehicle drove until noon without leaving the town.

So the four of them went to eat a hot pot nearby. At the dinner table, Edward tried his best to get rid of the Jiugong grid and change to a mandarin duck pot, and asked Xu Chi to eat clear soup here.

Xu Chi didn't understand why, but since Edward insisted, he could only follow suit.

The heartbroken old father Edward sighed in his heart: This is all for your own good.

After lunch, I changed to Edward to drive. He drove very steadily. When it was almost evening, the scenery outside the car window finally became desolate. There was only a dusty road leading to the distance, with no end in sight, as if driving forever.

But this does not mean that they have left this space. Abandoned factories and auto repair shops are scattered on both sides of the road, which shows that this is not the no-man's land when they came, but the outskirts of the city.

Xu Chi looked ahead solemnly.

The worst scenario they imagined was that the vehicle would drive to another city. If that was the case, there would be no other way—Jun Ye might have copied an entire country, or even the Earth.

Xu Chi looked down at the map in front of him, and suddenly noticed something keenly. He immediately called out, "Edward, stop!"

The earthquake happened so abruptly that the ground cracked open almost instantly, shaking violently like a dice cup in the hands of God. In front of the big tree, he was almost smashed to the ground.

Xu Chi let out a long breath, stared fixedly in front of him, panted and sneered, "It seems that this is the edge of Chang'an Town."

The camera zoomed out, and I saw that the land on the outskirts of the city was torn apart by the strong earthquake, the concrete road cracked several gaps, countless huge trees lay down, and the abandoned factory on the side had completely collapsed and turned into ruins.

And just less than three meters away from the off-road vehicle, a large crack that grew to no end traversed the land, blocking their way.

Xu Chi drew out his dagger, Edward took out his gun, and the two exchanged a glance. Xu Chi turned to Anna and said, "You two stay in the car."

Then they got out of the car with Edward, approaching the crack cautiously.

It is more appropriate to say that it is a crack than a ravine, or a cliff.

This deep ditch stretches left and right with no end in sight, and it is impossible to go around it at all.And its width is also shocking, more than 200 meters in full, from a distance, the other side of the deep ditch is smoky, and it is hard to see clearly.

Xu Chi walked to the edge of the cliff and looked down, feeling dizzy.

The gully was too deep, he kicked a stone down, and there was no echo for a long time, as if the stone fell into another dimension.

In other words, this deep ditch is a completely insurmountable barrier, trapping them in Chang'an Town.

Xu Chi was not overly pessimistic, turned back to the off-road vehicle and took out the climbing rope, tied one end around his waist, and tied the other end firmly to the trunk of the tree closest to the deep ditch.

He nodded to Edward, shook the wireless walkie-talkie in his hand, "I'll go down and have a look."

"Be careful." Edward pressed his shoulder and solemnly told him, "The situation below is unknown, if there is anything wrong, come up immediately, don't fight, this is an order."

Xu Chi smiled, "How can I be so stupid."

He walked to the edge of the cliff and was about to climb down the rock wall when suddenly a low and pleasant voice sounded in his ear, Xu Chi froze for a moment, a chill ran up his spine, his fingers were so stiff that he could hardly move.

"If I were you, I wouldn't go down."

With a smile in his eyes, Jun Ye stood aside and looked at him tenderly.

No one knew when he appeared there, it seemed that just for a moment, that tall and straight figure stood in front of everyone.

Edward immediately raised his gun, and Anna also opened the car door and got out.

Because of the half-kneeling posture, Xu Chi had to look up at him. This too humble perspective made him feel very uncomfortable.

As soon as Xu Chi is upset, he will definitely make a monster.He raised the corners of his mouth and smiled coldly, as if angry, he cursed: "Get out of here, I'm going down!"

Then without hesitation, he leaped back in a very chic way, and quickly descended with the rope, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

This maneuver is very dangerous, because he does not know what is below the cliff, whether there are sharp stones or trees protruding from the cliff, and he does not know how deep below.If the length of the rope was greater than the depth of the cliff, it was obvious that Xu Chi would die.

The moment Xu Chi jumped down, Jun Ye opened his eyes slightly, and moved his body forward, as if he wanted to catch him, but the movement was so slight that it was almost imperceptible.

Then Jun Ye shook his head helplessly and sighed, "Too capricious."

In the next second, under Edward's nervous gaze, Jun Ye disappeared in place like a ghost without leaving any trace.

Xu Chi fell very fast, and the wind roared in his ears, almost piercing his eardrums, and the fine sand scraped his face and hands, causing burning pain.

But fortunately, Xu Chi fell all the way without encountering obstacles. A few seconds later, the rope stretched violently, and the rope tied around his waist strangled him so hard that he almost vomited blood.

It's really cool for a while...

"Well... Next time, climb down honestly..." Xu Chi rubbed his sore waist and lower abdomen, and looked around.

Looking up, you can also see the cliff edge of the deep ditch, and the orange-red sky at dusk.This climbing rope is not long, only 12 meters.

Looking down, I still couldn't see anything, it was pitch black, as if even the sunlight couldn't reach the deep cliff bottom.

And Xu Chi was hung by a rope in this unevenly high place, swaying slightly with the wind blowing from nowhere, like a piece of bacon hanging on the beam of the house.

He saw a raised rock two meters away, on the same level as himself. It was considered a relatively flat stone platform, and he reckoned that it could stand two people.

Xu Chi's waist was strong, he turned around and kicked hard on the cliff, swayed over by inertia, and climbed up the stone platform with the rope.

The stone platform was only [-] centimeters wide, and Xu Chi had to cling to the hard and cold cliff so as not to fall.

He took out his mobile phone and began to take pictures of the surroundings, taking pictures of everything in detail.After all, with his brain, he couldn't see anything strange here, so take it back and show it to Edward, maybe he can find some clues.

As he patted, he suddenly felt that there seemed to be something at the bottom of the cliff, which was layered and intertwined, and he couldn't see it clearly.

Xu Chi lowered his head, squinted his eyes and observed carefully, only to see that the darkness in the deep cliff slowly receded like an ebbing tide, revealing its true colors.

Under the 200-meter wide and endlessly deep cliff, there are densely packed corpses lying layer by layer, all of which are human corpses!

Or distorted or broken body, or frightened or desperate face, or eyes closed, or dead, each corpse gives people the deepest horror.

Xu Chi's eyes widened suddenly, and a needle-like coldness rushed up his back like an electric shock. He whimpered, covered his mouth tightly, his back was pressed against the rock wall, his stomach was overwhelmed and he almost vomited .

Even the battlefields of the world wars would not have so many corpses, one layer after another, it is simply a death pit accumulated for a hundred years!

Xu Chi's stiff eyes scanned the pile of corpses. He saw many men, women, children... People he knew, people he had assassinated, people he had saved... His teammates, Edward, Anna... and even himself!

He actually saw his own corpse in this deep ditch!

"Are you afraid?" At some point, Jun Ye was already standing beside him, gently persuading, "If you are afraid, don't watch it."

"What is that?" Xu Chi grabbed Jun Ye's clothes fiercely, his vocal cords were almost torn, "What is that?! Tell me, what's going on with those things?!"

Jun Ye stared carefully into Xu Chi's eyes, although he still wanted to scare him, but when he saw the other's pale face, he suddenly couldn't bear it anymore and felt that he was too cruel.

So he said truthfully, "It's just an illusion, baby, and you're going to see your worst fears here."

"Everyone sees different scenes." Jun Ye thought for a while, "I guess you saw death, right?"

Xu Chi could hardly speak, his whole body was shaking violently, if Jun Ye hadn't held his waist, he might have fallen off the stone platform.

The stone platform was very narrow, and the two of them were tightly stuck together, extremely intimate. Jun Ye lowered his head, kissed Xu Chi's side face, and comforted softly: "I told you not to come down, you must be willful, okay, don't Scared, it's all fake."

Xu Chi opened his mouth and struggled for several seconds before he managed to make a sound, but to Jun Ye's surprise, this person neither begged for mercy nor cursed, and turned against the general in an extremely nervous state of mind.

"Then what did you see?" Xu Chi stared at him, his chest heaved violently due to panting, but he asked aggressively, "I don't believe you have nothing to fear."

Jun Ye thought for a moment, then asked with a smile, "If I said so, would you use that against me?"

Xu Chi's eyes were sharp and he didn't speak, but the answer was beyond doubt.

Only by knowing the weakness of the demons can they have a chance to fight back.

Jun Ye really said, "What I'm most afraid of is that you are wearing a wedding dress and entering the palace of marriage with me."

"Ah?" Xu Chi was stunned for a moment, and it took a while to realize that the other party was playing tricks on him. He couldn't help becoming angry and drew out his knife to kill someone.

Jun Ye laughed twice, avoiding the oncoming blade, and jokingly said: "I'm just kidding, I created this abyss, so it doesn't work for me, and, actually, I'm really looking forward to seeing you in a wedding dress, A miniskirt would be even better."

Without saying a word, Xu Chi kicked him off the narrow stone platform.

He watched Jun Ye disappear in mid-air, cursed secretly, grabbed the rope, put his feet on the stone wall, and climbed up quickly and swiftly.

Edward grabbed his wrist and pulled him up, worried: "How is it? Are you not injured?"

Xu Chi shook his head, and Edward asked again, "How is it going next?"

Xu Chi handed him the phone, "I took a picture, you can see for yourself."

Edward flipped through the photo album, frowning, "It looks like an ordinary rift."

"Very dangerous..."

"what?"

"You will see hallucinations below, and there are very terrifying visions."

Xu Chi untied the rope around his waist and took a step forward.His knee had been bruised a bit from the climb, and he was taking too long a step, and he stumbled a bit.

Edward helped him quickly with his eyes and hands, and took advantage of the situation to hold him up, and helped him walk to the off-road vehicle.

"Don't be brave, I'll drive when I go back."

Xu Chi subconsciously wanted to push him away, but he thought that this person was Edward, so he didn't shirk, and obediently put his arms on his strong shoulders.

Edward opened the car door and let Xu Chi in, then went to untie the climbing rope on the tree trunk and put it in the trunk.When he walked around to the driver's seat and was about to pull the car door, he suddenly felt two beams of cold eyes shooting towards him from behind, like sharp arrows with malicious intentions.

He turned his head sharply, but saw nothing.

It seems that the sight that pierces the heart is just an illusion.
