【abyss】?
I remember, how could I not remember? The reason she's staying here is to go and see the so-called "Abyss," the origin of the strange creature.
"I'm here today to invite Sister Su to go to the Abyss together."
"today?"
"Yes, the gate to the Abyss only opens on the fifteenth of each month. If you venture into the Abyss on other days, you may not only be attacked, but if you accidentally fall into the Abyss, you will be doomed."
There's also this theory: no wonder the fifteenth of each month is the time when strange creatures from the outside world are most active; now it seems it's mostly related to the opening of this "Abyss".
Boarding the strange rocket airship exclusively for Zhao Jinlai, the man and the strange creature climbed upwards. They didn't know how long they had been ascending, so long that Su Luo wondered if the airship had already flown out of the territory of the Yellow Springs Ghost King City. Suddenly, the airship came to a stop.
"arrive."
After following Zhao Jin off the airship, the rough wind seemed to carry sand and dust that blew into Su Luo's face, making it hurt.
Unlike the sky in the apocalypse, the scenery in the Ghost King City is also different. It seems to be vast and boundless, with a dark sky full of stars, but it is different from the dazzling stars seen before the apocalypse.
The glittering stars twisted and intertwined, forming bizarre shapes that resembled pairs of eyes filling the sky and staring intently down below.
Keep an eye on her!
"Come with me."
As Zhao Jinlai spoke, he took out a small red bead from the fat under the swimming ring and handed it to Su Luo, saying, "This is your identity token for entering the Abyss. You need this red bead to enter the Abyss."
"Remember, never lose this red bead, no matter what. If you lose it, you may never be able to escape the Abyss!"
Su Luo wasn't one to ignore advice. Since it was an identity token, just like an ID card before the apocalypse, it couldn't be thrown away carelessly. If you thought of it as going abroad, this red bead was like a passport. You can't lose your passport no matter what!
"I understand." Su Luo said, stringing the red beads together and wearing them as a necklace. The moment the red beads touched her skin, the sandstorm that had been so obstructing began to weaken and eventually made way for her.
A few minutes later, the man and the ghost arrived at the edge of the Abyss. Su Luo looked down and saw a huge black hole abyss, as big as a stadium, appearing before him. The sky and the earth met at the horizon. Not to mention people, even the huge Klot looked very small here.
"This is... the Abyss?!"
It was pitch black, bottomless, with gusts of wind coming from below the abyss, carrying the piercing wails of a hundred ghosts, which was somewhat eerie.
If I remember correctly, there is a similar place in the Nine Netherworld Ghost King City. In the end, all the non-human monsters from the Imperial Capital Base were led into this place, and none of them survived.
So this is the Abyss.
Therefore, every city of the Demon King has this entrance to the Abyss.
“Yes.” Zhao Jinlai nodded and looked at Su Luo. “Sister Su, we will go down from here in a while, but the entry and exit of the Abyss are random. Even if we enter together, we cannot guarantee that we will appear in the same place.”
Upon hearing this, Su Luo raised an eyebrow, thinking to himself, "Is this a random teleportation array?"
Thinking of this, Su Luo smoothed her hair and touched the long black coffin in her hair, calming herself down.
"This is a contact talisman from our Zhao family. If we get close enough, the talisman will give us a hint." Zhao Jinlai said, handing Su Luo another yellow talisman with a strange, twisted totem drawn in blood on it, resembling the emblem of the Yellow Springs Ghost King City.
Su Luo nodded and accepted. After all, they were going to the lair of the monsters. Judging from Zhao Jinlai's tone, their Zhao family was quite famous in the Abyss. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to get these things so easily. It was better to have the monsters' protection than nothing.
"Are you ready, Sister Su?" Zhao Jinlai asked tentatively, a hint of panic in his voice. Su Luo frowned slightly at this, wondering what the meaning of asking "ready" at this moment was. They were already at the edge of the Abyss; was there any reason to turn back?
How do you get down there? You're not going to have to jump, are you?
Before Su Luo could even ask anything, Zhao Jinlai bowed apologetically, then took Su Luo and leaped into the Abyss.
Su Luo: !!! !!!
Damn, I knew it would be like this!
If you're going to jump, then jump! What's with this sudden sneak attack?!
A howling gale swept past, and above the Abyss, all was silent except for pairs of eerie eyes made of stars that turned and stared intently at the spot where Su Luo had just stood, gradually turning crimson.
...
Su Luo didn't know how long she had been falling. It felt like she was traversing a dark, vast, and boundless small river before crashing heavily to the ground.
Despite being thrown from a high place, Su Luo felt nothing when the object landed. Touching his head, he slowly straightened up, his fingertips sliding down, and he touched something strange.
hairy.
It shouldn't have happened to her.
ear? !
"This, this is..."
Su Luo suddenly sat up, her hands incredulously reaching for the spot where her ears used to be. With a look of terror on her face, she slowly moved her hands upwards, touching the top of her head.
This, this, this...
In a state of confusion, Su Luo stood up in a rare panic and stumbled towards a nearby building. Through the murky glass, she could vaguely see the reflection of a person in the glass.
Or perhaps it shouldn't be called a human figure.
A pair of black cat ears appeared on Su Luo's head, with a swaying black cat tail behind him. His pupils turned scarlet and bright, elongating into the shape of some kind of feline animal. Symmetrical small sharp teeth were revealed at the corners of his lips. If his face hadn't changed, Su Luo would probably have thought that he had possessed that cat-like monster.
What kind of thing is this?
When in Rome, do as the Romans do?
Assimilation into another world?
So... is she now considered a monster?
This is truly... an unexpected change.
Looking up at the surroundings, unlike the post-apocalyptic world outside the Abyss, this place was pitch black, illuminated only by the stars overhead. Unlike the polar day outside, this seemed to be... the polar night.
For a day and a night, the stars were nowhere to be seen and the moon was nowhere to be seen.
It seems that the true alternation of the sun and moon only occurs when these two worlds are merged into one.
Walking alone on this street, the dark red, damp street looked as if it had just been washed with blood, and the houses on both sides were strangely shaped.
Some looked like enlarged doghouses, with all sorts of bizarre dog heads hanging on them; others resembled paper houses built from human skin, with two green lanterns made of human skin hanging at the entrance…
In any case, from Su Luo's aesthetic point of view, it is utterly devoid of beauty and is disgusting.
Su Luo walked aimlessly forward, the talisman in her arms showing no reaction, indicating that Zhao Jinlai was most likely not in this area. What should she do next?
Should we go find a ghost to ask?
But the street was deserted, as if all the strangeness of life had evaporated overnight. Where could she ask?
