2. Abyssal space

The sky is gloomy.

Not far ahead, there appears to be an abandoned platform, which is empty.

There are no worn-out cars as expected. Of course, there is no staff either.

The sky was gloomy and terrible, with a misty drizzle.

There was a small group of people on the platform, and it was difficult to see men and women in the rain.

The station is a bit exaggerated, with red bricks faintly exposed in the cracks of the ground, not to mention the rain shields, and large holes everywhere.

As a result, the people below had to try to avoid the broken place to avoid getting wet in the rain.

And at this moment, these people were all looking in one direction, with strange expressions, as if something had happened that was incomprehensible to them.

In the rain, a man with an umbrella could be vaguely seen standing not far away.

He hadn't moved, and had been in this position for 10 minutes.

Suddenly, the man moved. This sudden movement startled the people on the platform.

One step, two steps......

Getting closer.

Only then did everyone see it clearly, the body was well-proportioned, and it looked good, but the dress was really weird.

The upper body wears a brown coat that obviously does not fit, and the large one is somewhat exaggerated, and the lower body is ......

Wearing a pair of pajama pants and a pair of plush slippers printed with Bugs Bunny.

The rain had already soaked the slippers, and they made a "pop" and "pop" sound when they walked.

"Is there something wrong with this man? Sleeping with an umbrella? I don't know who muttered quietly.

Squeezed in, barely squeezing out a place to shelter from the rain, Su Zhiyuan put away the umbrella and looked at everyone with sleepy eyes.

"Ahem, are you busy?" Su Zhiyuan said hello.

A little girl who looked innocent and cute asked weakly, "New ...... Newcomers? ”

"It's obvious." A bearded uncle glanced at Su Zhiyuan's pajama pants and slippers, and then focused his gaze on Su Zhiyuan's face.

His eyes were full of aggression, staring at Su Zhiyuan for a while, and seeing that the other party didn't react, he grinned, "It's kind of interesting." The first time you came here, it was so peaceful? ”

There were five people in total.

Su Zhiyuan quickly looked at the few people around.

In addition to the little girl and the bearded uncle who had just spoken, there was also a woman who looked a little mean.

Average-looking, flat-chested.

There is also a greasy middle-aged uncle.

A young man dressed politely, like a white-collar worker in a company.

It's just that this young man seems to have just cried, with tears in the corners of his eyes and red eyes.

After Su Zhiyuan looked around, he looked at Uncle Beard, "Where is this?" ”

"You can think of it as the kind of copy space in the novel. We are all the ones chosen by the dungeon. The uncle replied.

Su Zhiyuan nodded, this was similar to his analysis, "So what should we do?" ”

The uncle thought for a while and said, "Every copy is different, simply put, according to different environments, find clues, restore the truth of the copy, and find a way out." After a pause, he continued, "We call this the Abyss. Of course, that's just the name given to the people who first came here.

As for why there is an abyss and so on...... You don't have to ask, because I don't know either.

In short, villages, seas, forests, and ...... can appear in the abyssal space

All scenarios that exist in reality are likely to appear here. ”

"All the scenarios that exist in reality?" Su Zhiyuan asked.

"Yes."

"What is the difference between abyssal space and reality?"

Su Zhiyuan asked a very tricky question.

"There aren't two mes in the real world." The uncle's voice was muffled.

What he said sounded a little awkward, but Su Zhiyuan quickly understood.

"You mean to say that someone has met the exact same self in the abyssal space?"

"That's right."

Uncle Beard didn't know if it was because of fear or something else, so he didn't want to continue the topic.

"So, it's the same as the novel here, you can go back after completing the task, right?"

"Hmm," the uncle nodded, looking at the rain curtain.

The rain is getting heavier. The dreary air made everyone seem a little oppressive.

"Little handsome guy." The mean-faced woman looked at Su Zhiyuan, "If the mission fails, it will disappear, the kind that disappears without a trace in reality." Aren't you afraid? ”

"This should be considered a disappearance." Su Zhiyuan corrected.

The woman's eyes widened slightly, and she looked Su Zhiyuan up and down with interest.

It seems that he wants to find something different in him.

"Quite an interesting newcomer." The woman smiled, "If you don't die in the end, make a friend?" ”

Su Zhiyuan glanced at her flatness, chose to ignore it, and turned to look at Uncle Beard.

From just now, the strong man has always stood on the edge of the rain curtain, his eyes constantly patrolling around, his face anxious.

"The people who are waiting haven't arrived yet?" Su Zhiyuan walked up to the uncle and looked at it together.

Uncle Beard was startled, turned around, and said in surprise: "How do you know?" ”

Su Zhiyuan smiled, his right hand was flat, and his thumb kept pinching, "Hmm...... If I'm not mistaken, the person you're waiting for is a fat man? ”

The uncle was shocked, "I'm really waiting for someone, because the person waiting hasn't arrived yet, so the dungeon hasn't been able to start." But...... You ......" he pointed at Su Zhiyuan and stopped, "You are ...... That fat man...... Can it really be calculated? ”

Su Zhiyuan scratched his head embarrassedly, turned around and looked up in the opposite direction, and simply shouted: "Fatty, don't hide, it's just you, hurry up!" ”

Before the words fell, a fat figure suddenly appeared in an inconspicuous corner in the rain, and the speed was simply terrifying.

The black shadow's two thick thighs were quickly upside down, and in the high-speed movement, he actually showed a flexibility that did not match his figure, dexterously dodged all the puddles on the road, and finally jumped lightly and steadily jumped onto the platform.

Boom! A bang.

Two words flashed in the hearts of everyone who saw this scene -!

The fat man who jumped on the stands looked at Su Zhiyuan with a strange look in his eyes, and he was a little complaining. He was wearing only a gray shirt on his upper body, which was already so wet from the rain that he would be shivering from the cold.

"Can you ......?"

"No, you can't!"

Su Zhiyuan ruthlessly interrupted the fat man's unrealistic fantasies, and tightened the coat that was obviously bigger than his figure.

"You two are ...... Which one is the trouble? The greasy middle-aged man was a little confused.

"Oh, over there. This fat man is timid, so I will help him come over and see the situation first. This coat and umbrella are paid. Su Zhiyuan replied calmly.

The fat man was shivering from the cold, and when he saw that no one wanted to pay attention to him, he shrank in the corner aggrievedly. In the end, it was the innocent girl who saw that he was really pitiful, and lent him her handkerchief.

It's impossible to count on keeping warm, and it's the same thing to wipe your face.

"Everyone should have arrived. The quest is estimated to begin. Let's all be careful. "Uncle Beard seems intent on being the leader of this temporary team.

As soon as the words fell, a glimmer of light came from the originally dark distance.

A luxury bus slowly pulls into the platform.

"Go up. After getting in the car, talk less and watch more, don't have extra movements, otherwise you can only die yourself. Uncle Beard said a word of advice and took a few steps forward, waiting for the bus to open.

Crash!

The door of the bus opened horizontally, and before the bearded uncle could make a move, a young man jumped down from it.

He looks quite young, in his early 20s, wearing a white sweatshirt with a hood on the top and a pair of jeans on the bottom.

"I'm sorry, guys. The weather was so bad that there was a delay on the way. The young man swept around the crowd with a smile and introduced himself: "I am your tour guide for this trip, my surname is Wu, everyone calls me Director Wu, or Xiao Wu." ”

"Director Wu." The person who responds quickly responds immediately.

Of course, no one really died to call someone Xiao Wu.

"Oh, you're welcome." Director Zheng greeted politely, "Let's get in the car, don't stand here." It's a really ...... weather today."

Uncle Beard saw that nothing abnormal happened, so he raised his leg and got into the car, followed by a mean woman, followed by a greasy man, Su Zhiyuan, a fat man, and a pure girl followed behind.

After getting on the bus, everyone realized that there were other passengers in the car.

In the back of the seat, a couple sits, the boy wears an eye patch and seems to be asleep. Girls wear headphones.

Behind the driver was a middle-aged woman with a child.

The little boy seemed to be sick, and he looked sick, with gauze wrapped around his fingers.

After seeing that everyone had found a good place to sit down, Tour Guide Wu closed the door and the bus started slowly.

Uncle Beard sat in the third row, with the mother and son in front of him, and the mean girl sat on the other side, across the aisle from Uncle Beard.

Su Zhiyuan walked all the way and looked all the way, and finally chose the position in the penultimate row and sat down, with the couple in front of him. As a result, as soon as he sat down, the seat next to him was occupied by a fat man, "Brother, together." ”

Su Zhiyuan turned his head, saw that it was a fat man, frowned, and finally nodded after hesitating, "Okay, but I don't want to be inside." ”

"No problem." The fat man said happily.

A minute later, the fat man finally squeezed inside, not only occupying his seat, but also occupying Su Zhiyuan's position.

Su Zhiyuan had to move out.

As for the white-collar worker in the company, at first he wanted to sit with a mean woman, but he ignored it at all, so anxious that he sweated on his forehead, and finally the innocent girl took him in.

As for the greasy man, he sat alone in the back row, just behind Su Zhiyuan, silent and silent.

"Good brother, do you have any information to share? I'm halfway through my sleep, and I don't know anything. The fat man leaned over and lowered his voice.

Su Zhiyuan looked at him, and simply told the fat man what he knew, and the fat man was not good at hearing the whole person.

"What? Will the whole family die if the mission fails? Or is it the way to die by being divided by five horses? This...... It's also too ......."

"yes." Su Zhiyuan smiled.

"Then why aren't you afraid?" The fat man vaguely felt that something was not right.

Su Zhiyuan was silent for two seconds and said calmly: "Because I am an orphan." ”

“?”

The fat man never dreamed that the answer given by the other party would be so unpretentious.

……

The bus was moving smoothly.

The process was unusually peaceful.

The calm is both a desire to last and a fear that it will last.

Fortunately, the tangle didn't last long.

"Bang!"

The huge inertia rolled into the car with the broken window, and there was an exclamation.

It seems to have been a crash.

The white-collar man of the company was so frightened that he squatted in the middle of the aisle and screamed desperately, and after being persuaded by the people who went to the road to no avail, Uncle Beard directly pulled the person up and gave it to the two big pockets.

"Rubbish! Shut up! He threatened viciously.

The white-collar man's face was like ashes, he didn't dare to leave, and he was afraid that he would continue to be beaten.

After getting out of the car, everyone realized what had happened.

It was the car that hit the tree.

The driver came down to check. The accident occurred when the rain was too heavy, the road was slippery, and the car lost control.

Fortunately, no one was injured, but the white-collar man accidentally injured his arm by the glass when he was hiding in the middle of the aisle.

But the car can't go, here......

Su Zhiyuan glanced around, there were no villages and no shops in the wilderness, only straight roads leading to the unknown darkness.

It's not raining so much, but it's still persistent.

"Guys, I'm sorry." Tour Guide Wu also got out of the car, "It seems that this trip can't be done." ”

He looked like he was smiling, and everyone could see at a glance that this apology was not sincere at all, but no one debunked it.

It's just a tool man who pushes the plot.

"Coincidentally, I've been here before." Guide Wu smiled and said: "Bypassing that wood, there is a small village, we can go there to take shelter from the rain, and I will also contact other cars to pick it up, how about it?" ”

Su Zhiyuan didn't say anything, and turned his head to look at Uncle Beard.

Even the slightest bit of brains know that this is not a good option, but ...... Uncle Beard agreed.

Su Zhiyuan understands the real task...... Here we go!

The atmosphere that used to be quite relaxed has also changed.

The road that looks smooth but is unexpectedly muddy, making people fall if they don't pay attention, and the group stumbled for more than an hour, just when the fat man kept shouting that he was tired, everyone saw a villa.

The villa is divided into three floors, and there is only one light flickering on and off at the door, and the whole villa is blocked by staggered tree branches, which is extremely difficult to find without walking very close.

"We're going to live in ...... Over here? The innocent girl's voice trembled a little.

The villa looked dilapidated, it seemed that it had not been inhabited for some years, and the yard was covered with a thick layer of fallen leaves.

"If you don't want to stay, you can stay out for the night." Uncle Beard wiped his face and was the first to walk into the yard.

Su Zhiyuan looked at Uncle Beard's back and frowned, as if he didn't know when he started, this person's mood was a lot more irritable. The innocent girl was obviously just complaining just now.

He...... It seems to be fearing something.

Su Zhiyuan just stood at the gate of the courtyard and didn't go in, and when everyone entered the courtyard, he turned his head to the fat man Nunu, "What are you waiting for?" Enter? ”

"Oh, oh, okay." The fat man reluctantly glanced at the umbrella held by Su Zhiyuan, and reluctantly walked in.

Bang bang bang!

Uncle Beard patted the door, and when he saw that there was no movement, he simply tried to push the door.

Squeak......

The door opened.

When the door is fully open, the scene inside comes into view.

Unlike the dilapidated exterior of the villa, the furnishings inside are only slightly worn, and there is only a thin layer of dust on the floor.
