The Abyss, the place is as its name suggests.
The densely packed cypress forest stretched as far as the eye could see, but in the deepest part where there was no daylight all day long, stood a towering castle.
The winding path led to a secluded place. The muddy path under my feet was wet. It must have rained heavily last night.
Lu Zhi walked forward with one foot deep and one foot shallow. Her white shoes became dirty, with mud spots on the tips.
Pandora's box was opened, revealing a pile of chess pieces that she couldn't understand.
Compared with ordinary chess sets, the chess pieces packed in the fluffy box are more exquisite, and English words in American font are engraved under each chess piece.
One of them seemed somewhat familiar and had some connection to her—Aimi.
With Pandora's Box in his arms, Lu Zhi opened his eyes and found himself in a deep forest.
Following the faded sign on the side, she walked deeper into the cave.
It is said that there are all kinds of birds in a big forest.
...
...
Lu Zhi walked in the abyss for a long time without seeing any living creature other than herself, not even a bird singing.
Counting the numbers carefully in my mind.
Before she was about to fall into despair, the path came to an end.
A light mist filled the deep forest, and the moist air seemed to be saturated with water vapor.
In the dim light, Lu Zhi's vision was obstructed and he could only vaguely make out the vague outline of the castle in the mist.
As she approached quickly, the triangular roof revealed a clear outline, and tiny pieces of amethyst sparkled among the black stone bricks.
Classical stone pillars from the Western world stand in front of the garden, with delicate and fine floral patterns outlining rows of European-style arched floor-to-ceiling windows.
Pushing open the rusty iron door, a teeth-grinding creaking sound woke up the owner of the castle, and startled the crows perched on the eaves, causing them to fly away in all directions with shrill voices.
The moment he stepped into the castle, Lu Zhi felt a pair of burning gazes falling on him.
She looked up suddenly, and only caught a glimpse of the dark floor-length curtains swaying behind the floor-to-ceiling windows on the second floor of the castle.
The garden in front of the castle seemed to be cleaned regularly and there were very few piles of dead leaves.
There was not a single flower in the deserted garden, and the owner of the castle didn't seem to care much about it.
Stepping onto the wet stone stairs, Lu Zhi stood in front of the tall door and raised his hand.
Before she could knock, the door opened automatically.
There are many small floor lamps placed along the rugged stone brick path outside, illuminating the small darkness at your feet.
The furnishings in the castle are diverse, with few new additions, and the style obviously comes from many people.
This ancient castle, standing beneath the abyss, has had several owners.
There are spiral staircases on both sides leading up to the softly lit castle corridor, which is covered with burgundy velvet carpets winding into the gray shadows.
Ta-da, ta-da,
There were dull footsteps coming from the stairs beside him, and Lu Zhi looked in the direction of the sound.
The first thing that catches your eye is the tips of a pair of shiny leather shoes.
Going further up, the high-quality suit pants wrap around the slender and powerful long legs, the waist is tightened, and the suit vest outlines the man's stylish broad shoulders and narrow waist.
The shirt buttons were not buttoned to the top meticulously, and the open collar revealed the sexy collarbone line, and the Adam's apple rolled up and down a few times.
After seeing the man's handsome face clearly, Lu Zhi's tense muscles unconsciously relaxed a little, and the hairs that stood up due to vigilance also softened.
"Yuan Shuo..." Even though she knew that Yuan Shuo's identity might not be as simple as she thought, when this moment really came, Lu Zhi's eyes couldn't help but become a little complicated.
Yuan Shuo walked quickly to her side and held her in his arms.
The woman in his arms was vivid and alive, not an illusion.
The frozen blood melted instantly, and Yuan Shuo's rapid breathing became smooth.
He bent down in dependence and buried his head in Lu Zhi's neck, rubbing against her like a large dog trying to get into the warmth and security.
The hot air spraying on his neck made Lu Zhi feel uncomfortable, and his cheeks flushed.
She could feel the uneasiness and restlessness emanating from Yuan Shuo. She wanted to push his hand away, but she raised it up in mid-air and paused for a few seconds. Then she gently placed it on his back. Her movements were a little stiff, but clumsy and heartwarming. She patted him to comfort him.
"Zhizhi, they want to kill you."
"Who?" Lu Zhi felt a little dizzy. The heat in his cheeks seemed to burn his brain, making him feel very dizzy.
Hearing her murmur, Yuan Shuo raised his lips and stood up, holding her face with his big hands, and gently touching her fair and smooth cheeks with his fingertips.
He was a handsome man, with innocent eyes that sparkled with deep affection, so hot that it burned Lu Zhi.
She subconsciously wanted to escape, but for some reason she forced herself to look him in the eyes.
In Yuan Shuo's eyes, Lu Zhi was like a little kitten who was afraid to face the reality but had to bow to it. He flapped his front paws and acted like a bully, looking adorable.
Yuan Shuo smiled: "Zhizhi, I am the god of infinite flow games... Well, to be more precise, I am an old god."
"As for the new god—" He deliberately kept the topic a secret, dragging out the words, watching Lu Zhi holding his breath, eyes widening, a triumphant smile on his lips: "It's you."
With a loud bang, a violent storm broke out in the abyss.
The dense cypress trees outside the window covered their branches that were blown by the strong wind, and they slapped against the floor-to-ceiling windows from time to time.
The crackling heavy rain soon accumulated into puddles of neither deep nor shallow in the bumpy mud pits. The bean-sized raindrops created circles of ripples and stirred up the restless water surface.
Lu Zhi's mood is just like the weather outside the window.
She opened her lips slightly in surprise, but couldn't say anything to refute Yuan Shuo's words. She already believed 80% of it.
No wonder Ruan Tang and the others were muted for no reason, no wonder the qualification examiner looked weird... no wonder she always had one more main quest than other players.
Speaking of the main task, Lu Zhi raised her eyelids and looked at the man in front of her who was pouring tea for her elegantly, and her hands hanging by her side kept tightening.
Yuan Shuo's long eyelashes flickered, dispersing the white heat that floated into the air and softening the blurred lines of his facial features.
As if he knew what Lu Zhi was going to say, Yuan Shuo placed a cup of hot tea in front of her and spoke first: "It's me."
Speaking of this, Yuan Shuo felt a little embarrassed. The tips of his ears, hidden under his black hair, turned red, and the corners of his eyes were also slightly red from the heat.
He refused to admit that he had done anything wrong, and he stiffened his neck to defend himself: "I didn't mean to hurt you at the beginning. I... I just wanted to go and see my little bride."
Little bride?!
Lu Zhi, who had just taken a sip of hot tea, was almost frightened by his sudden address and bit her tongue.
The blush on her face that had finally faded away quickly reappeared, even staining her ears and fair neck red.
Yuan Shuo likes to play straight balls, and seeing this, he took advantage of the situation and shamelessly sat on the single sofa under Lu Zhi without any hesitation.
The single sofa was limited in size, and one more person squeezed in close to her. Lu Zhi hurriedly put down the porcelain cup and subconsciously dodged to the side.
A big hand climbed up her waist and held her tightly. The man would not let her escape him: "Why are you running? Can I eat you?"
