Chapter 83 Abyss
Mo Ye asked in confusion: "What happened to Lin Jiangye? He was fine, why did this happen?"
Lu Shaoang looked up at the endless no-man's land and said in a deep voice: "This should be related to the no-man's land outside."
Li Cheng: "No man's land?"
"When you stare into the abyss, the abyss is also staring at you." Su Jinyi said lightly: "Don't keep looking at the no-man's land outside, it will suck you in."
Mo Ye: "Baby, how did you know?"
Su Jin raised Xuan Lao's chin, and several people followed her movement and saw Xuan Lao with his eyes closed.
"When the mineral resources were mentioned, his reaction was very strong, as if there was a man-eating monster waiting for him. He sat in the middle of the car with his eyes closed since he got on," Su Jin said.
"So, what is Master Xuan afraid of? The abyss outside?"
Only then did Xuan Lao open his eyes, and quickly looked in the direction of Lin Jiangye, staring with wide eyes and said: "You are still alive!"
Mo Ye said viciously: "What do you mean? You knew it from the beginning, right? Why didn't you say it!"
"There are things in the abyss that are more terrifying than monsters!" Old Xuan whispered.
As if afraid of being heard, the voice was barely audible to only a few people.
Lu Shaoang frowned: "What is it?"
But Elder Xuan did not directly answer Lu Shaoang's question. Instead, he turned to look at Lin Jiangye and said grimly: "What you just saw is just the tip of the iceberg."
Lin Jiangye was dumbfounded and said: "So those skeletons are real?!!!"
But Xuan Lao smiled grimly and said: "I'm very curious, why didn't you die? It's really surprising!"
Su Jinyi said coldly: "How do you know what Xiaoye saw?"
She did not miss any expression on Xuan Lao's face and continued: "Did you see it too?"
A flash of fear flashed across Xuan Lao's face, but he quickly concealed it and said calmly, "What can I see? Don't talk nonsense!"
If it is as said before, only by staring into the abyss can one be sucked into it, but now... Su Jinyi stared at Xuan Lao in front of him with cold eyes. There is no doubt that Xuan Lao also saw it.
But he had kept his eyes closed since he got on the bus, so why could he still "see"?
Su Jinyi suppressed the doubts in his heart, looked at Xuan Lao and said: "According to what you said, anyone who sees the abyss will die?"
She no longer expected Master Xuan to answer what else was in the abyss.
"He deserved to die, but he survived, didn't he?" Old Xuan pointed at Lin Jiangye, his eyes full of morbid madness.
Lu Shaoang frowned: "Also?"
Old Xuan suddenly started laughing wildly, and his laughter echoed throughout the entire space, as if it was going to tear the world apart.
His body was shaking uncontrollably, and a weird smile appeared on his face, which made people shudder. He seemed to be controlled by a mysterious force and had completely lost his self-awareness.
His eyes became empty and lifeless, and his original facial expression became distorted and hideous.
“Ahhhhh… Why! Why can’t I escape! Ahhhh…” After screaming, Old Xuan slowly calmed down and lowered his head, as if someone had drained all his energy.
Everyone was frightened by his sudden action and stood still.
After seeing that Master Xuan had calmed down, Lin Jiangye asked in a trembling voice: "Is he still alive?"
Su Jinyi stepped forward and sniffed his breath, then paused and said expressionlessly, "He's dead."
Lin Jiangye suddenly collapsed to the ground as if he had lost his soul, looking at Li Cheng blankly: "I will die too..."
Su Jinyi quickly concealed his emotions and said calmly: "Xiao Ye, do you believe me?"
Lin Jiangye nodded helplessly.
Su Jinyi raised the corner of his mouth slightly and said: "Trust me, you will be fine."
Li Cheng held Lin Jiangye's face with both hands and said firmly: "Don't be afraid, we are all here, okay?"
Lin Jiangye's eyes were red, and he tried hard not to let the tears fall, and nodded.
Now that Xuan Lao is dead, Su Jinyi looked at the only blond man who followed Xuan Lao and said coldly: "Your boss is dead. I give you two choices. Either die or tell us everything you know to save your life."
The man also felt resentful about Xuan Lao's sudden death and did not dare to choose death easily, so he had to agree.
Su Jinyi: "Has Master Xuan been here before?"
"I came here a long time ago..."
"What are you doing here?"
"It seems that the young master drove to the no-man's land to party, blew up a lot of things here, and offended the ghost horse...
Those guys kidnapped the young master, saying... they wanted to give him a sacrifice, and later brought him back in exchange with the boss."
"What exchange?"
"I don't know either. I heard it's a curse..." The man said in embarrassment:
"Also, ever since the young master died, the boss's health has suddenly deteriorated overnight, and he has been saying that he will go find him to avenge the young master..."
"I don't know anything else. I've told you everything I know."
"Curse?" Lu Shaoang frowned.
"I remember this." Hou Cang suddenly said.
This place had been discovered by humans several years ago, but no one had ever been able to successfully explore it. Countless people tried to claim it as their own, but everyone who entered it disappeared without exception.
There are many different opinions about the fate of these missing people. Some people firmly believe that they were swallowed by the endless abyss; others speculate that there are terrible monsters lurking in this area, and all intruders become their meals.
Even some adventurous scientists have set foot here. Although from the outside, it is no different from other ordinary uninhabited areas, but when people go deeper into it, they will be shocked to find that the magnetic field has gone out of control and make people lost.
This mysterious place seems to be covered by a huge invisible barrier, forming a space isolated from the world. It becomes extremely difficult to send signals from the inside to the outside or to observe the situation from the outside. This strange phenomenon makes this no-man's land more confusing and frightening.
But some people wanted to set foot here. Xuan Hong, who did not believe the rumors, took the lead in destroying this place, but suffered retribution.
It was something that Master Xuan exchanged for with his own life. As for the curse... it looks like it will remain an unsolved mystery.
"So, when you stare into the abyss, you will be sucked in. It seems that not all those who enter it are willing." Su Jinyi grasped the key point.
"The abyss is in disguise to attract people in?" Lu Shaoang continued.
"Unless the Abyss needs people?"
"Unless the Abyss needs people!"
Su Jinyi and Lu Shaoang said in unison.
Hou Cang nodded in agreement.
"But why do we need people?" Mo Ye asked puzzledly.
"Just like flowers need water to survive, maybe this abyss also needs people?" Su Jinyi guessed.
Mo Ye shuddered all over. "How terrifying! No wonder Master Xuan said there are things in there that are scarier than monsters."
Su Jinyi took a deep look at the abyss that was about to disappear before her eyes. Lu Shaoang noticed her emotions and asked softly, "What's wrong?"
"I always feel that this is not over yet, and I and this abyss will meet again." Su Jinyi retracted his gaze and said lightly.
"I'll stay with you." Lu Shaoang gently held her hand.
