"Come on!"

Seeing Lu Xin hesitate, Xia Chong frowned and said expressionlessly, "Don't waste time."

"This..."

Faced with this request, Lu Xin had no choice but to comply with her and stood face to face in a somewhat awkward posture.

"Remember, after entering, be quiet and don't move."

Xia Chong turned around and walked towards the door of the office. Lu Xin was such a big man, she was pulling her away like a child, and listened to her serious instructions. "Then, no matter what you feel, you must stay calm..."

"Yes, yes..."

Dr. An said on the side, "Young people are inexperienced and often surrender immediately..."

Lu Xin I don't want to stay here for one more second.

At this time, Xia Chong had already pulled him to the office door, and then gently opened the door.

Lu Xin suddenly froze, and his body shivered slightly.

Xia Chong stood in this office, opening the office door, and naturally there was a corridor outside.

But Lu Xin was holding her hand and looked forward, only to find that this door led to a red world.

It's hard to describe the feeling. It's like looking over and realizing that all the shadows here are scattered and overlapping.

Countless spiritual distortion powers fill every air in this world.

As soon as I glanced at it, I felt a cold wind blowing out from behind the door, and my hair stood on end.

The air that was dry and filled with the smell of burning rust filled his nostrils.

"This..."

He spoke subconsciously, but before he could finish speaking, he was already pulled behind the door by Xia Chong.

There seemed to be a powerful force behind that door. When Lu Xin saw this world, he was attracted in.

"Buzz..."

Indescribable distracting thoughts suddenly filled Lu Xin's mind.

He seemed to hear hundreds of people shouting and crying here, with a kind of crazy murmur. Each of these sounds seemed to be very clear, but when they were intertwined together, they seemed extremely chaotic, fighting to get into his eardrums.

"Keep your attention and don't listen carefully to anyone's voice..."

An illusory voice shouted, and at the same time, cold little hands pinched Lu Xin's face.

Lu Xin was awakened by this world. When he raised his head, he saw the face of Xia Chong so close at hand.

She was looking at herself seriously, and reminded her loudly, close to her face.

Shaking his head, Lu Xin calmed down slightly. He made a gesture of understanding to Xia Chong, and then looked around.

The door behind him has disappeared.

Lu Xin found himself standing on a ruined building.

After a lot of effort to identify, he realized that at this time, he was still at the location of Building No. 2 Main City, Research Institute. However, where he was, the part of the building above his head had disappeared, and there was only ruins under his feet.

Everything here seems to be on fire.

He could feel that his skin seemed to be exposed in front of the red-hot steel, and every inch of it was burning and painful. Moreover, this pain was not just burning, but more like every inch of his skin was being torn apart by the air again and again.

In the distance, the scarlet blurred and dilapidated buildings swayed and twisted in the air under the scorching light.

It looks like the streets and floors are alive and dancing in an exaggerated way.

Red enveloped the whole world, like a deep nightmare, helpless, fearful and lonely.

Farther away in the sky, a round moon could be vaguely seen.

Lu Xin waved his hand in the air a few times, and then touched his face.

All this is so strange, so strange that it even produces a Sisi absurd sense of familiarity.

It seems like nothingness here, but it is so real.

"Where is this?"

Lu Xin asked subconsciously.

"Abyss."

Xia Chong's answer is extremely simple.

He tilted his head and looked to make sure that Lu Xin was not panicked, and seemed a little surprised.

But she didn't hesitate, she just took Lu Xin's hand and walked forward.

The moment he took a step forward, all the surrounding objects began to become blurred and abstract.

Lu Xin discovered that every time he and Xia Chong took a step, the surrounding scene quickly receded, as if the speed had accelerated. After just a few steps, they were already on the street, with oddly damaged cars passing through them like phantoms.

"My power is Abyss-type Contract."

Only Xia Chong's stiff and undulating voice could give Lu Xin a sense of reality. "I signed a contract with Gate Worm in the abyss, so they can take me into the abyss and give me the simplest protection. I originally signed three insects, but one was killed by Buffalo City before. In addition to these three insects, I also signed a contract with a powerful spiritual creature."

"However, it was killed when I faced the monster from Black Table."

"So, I am here now and I have no ability to protect myself. We can only get in and get out quickly."

"..."

Only then did Lu Xin notice that there was a fat insect lying on Xia Chong's left and right shoulders. He had indeed seen it on Buffalo City before, but what he saw at that time was far less clear than what he saw now.

In this world, all physical objects have become blurred. Is this thing actually more real?

"Swish"

While walking forward, Lu Xin suddenly noticed something. He looked down and felt a little creepy.

On the ground, instead of the asphalt road outside, there are hands one by one.

He and Xia Chong were actually walking on countless hands at this time.

These hands were pitch black, with shriveled skin, and twisted veins like earthworms. They were chaotic, ruthlessly grabbing at anything they could touch, and their nails were as sharp as a dagger.

Lu Xin finally understood where the wounds on Xia Chong's legs that he saw before came from.

This was scratched out by fingernails.

Every time she walked into the world behind the door, she suffered from this pain.

There is no way to hide or escape, because the ground in this world, all the ground, is like this.

"Chi" "Chi"

These nails were even scratching his legs, and there were waves of cold and sharp sensations wherever they touched.

"Just get used to it."

Xia Chong said, looking back at Lu Xin.

"If you're worried about leaving scars, that's okay. My bugs can cure you. You'll be as smooth as if you were never injured."

"... Is this a matter of leaving scars or not?"

Lu Xin felt uncomfortable and couldn't help but ask, "What is this?"

"It is the cheapest malice in the world, and the most basic desire to seize everything."

Xia Chong replied with a smooth voice, "Because it's cheap, it's the most popular, covering the world, layer after layer!"

"Abyss..."

Lu Xin sighed deeply and looked into the distance.

Suddenly, I discovered that in this red world, there were also faint human figures and various strange creatures.

He saw strange mushroom-like plants growing in some places, and he also saw branch-like, spider-like or snake-like creatures inside the damaged and burning buildings, sticking their heads out from time to time and staring at him eerily.

"Mental Monster?"

Lu Xin suddenly thought of many other things.

This is not the first time he has been exposed to the abyss.

When I was in Qinggang, when I was working with an alcoholic to clean up the organization that believed in "True Hometown", I encountered some Mental Monsters. Although those Mental Monsters were different from what I saw now, their temperaments were clearly very similar.

When Sea Nation's S-level ability users attacked Qinggang, he also saw many Mental Monster.

I was originally curious about where these Mental Monster came from, but now I suddenly understand.

"True Hometown, and the abyss, both refer to this place?"

He asked the question that concerned him most.

"It should be said that True Hometown is in the abyss, but the two cannot be equated."

Xia Chong whispered, "Just like Central City is in this world, but Central City is not equal to this world."

Lu Xin suddenly understood. Xia Chong is so good at giving examples.

"So, what you brought me here to see is..."

Lu Xin was slightly alert and understood.

"It's the biggest Pollution Source in the world, and it's something we have to deal with right away..."

Xia Chong said, holding Lu Xin's hand and walking forward.

The surrounding scenery seemed real and illusory, retreating instantly.

In some places, Lu Xin seemed to be walking over, and in some places, it looked like it was walking through the middle.

He saw pieces of ruins, piles of bones, and strange creatures crawling around quickly on top of those bones, looking at people with cold eyes. Just their appearance was enough to make people's hair stand on end.

"Look..."

It felt like only a few seconds passed before Xia Chong suddenly raised his hand and pointed it to Lu Xin.

Lu Xin looked up suddenly and saw a ray of light in the changing air in front of him.

The light was clear and translucent, like a frozen underwater world looking out to the outside world.

In the twisted air of this world, through that light, one can feel the sunshine outside, the fresh wind, and the silhouettes of people passing by from time to time. It is as if they are now looking at the real world outside through a person's perspective.

"This is..."

Xia Chong explained to Lu Xin, but before she finished speaking, she was suddenly surprised.

It was also at this time, or earlier than Xia Chong, Lu Xin also felt a kind of coldness that made the hairs on his hair explode.

He instantly turned his head and looked in one direction, and saw pieces of air twisted and burning like fire. Immediately, the twisted and gloomy monsters around him seemed to have seen some terrifying existence, and they dispersed in all directions.

In the distance, a tall figure could be seen faintly, approaching quickly.

"Run quickly..."

Xia Chong reacted and suddenly pulled Lu Xin and rushed towards the original road.

As they started running, the hands stretched out below suddenly grabbed them more frantically.

These hands also felt the terrible pressure. They were also afraid, but they couldn't escape, so they just tried their best to grab the legs of Lu Xin and Xia Chong, as if grabbing them at this time and keeping them here would make themselves feel better...

Goo.

There was a hollow sound of squeezing in the air.

Things in the distance were approaching them quickly, squeezing the place into shape.

Xia Chong The two short legs ran with a crackling sound.

Lu Xin is not familiar with this world after all, and he is not used to it. At this time, he was pulled by her and he was flying fast.

It took them about a minute to walk here, but now it only took them ten seconds to go back.

The price paid was seven or eight times more scars caused by those hands.

Here, every step is like walking among thorns.

Finally, Lu Xin was pulled by Xia Chong and returned to the place where they came in. Xia Chong stretched out his other hand fiercely.

A fat insect slid down her arm and wrapped its round body around a spot.

Where it was caught, the shape of a door bolt appeared.

Xia Chong grabbed the door bolt and unscrewed it hard, and the door was opened.

But at this same time, the pressure behind him reached its maximum.

Lu Xin felt like something was pressing against his back, so he turned around subconsciously.

He only saw a huge face suddenly appearing in the air of Xing Kong, approaching him quickly.

The face was pale and stiff, like a mask.

Only at the eyes of this face, there were two bloody holes, inside which were bright red palms.

They moved, scratched, and twitched painfully, seemingly trying desperately to get out of their eye sockets and claw at Lu Xin.

Lu Xin frowned when he looked at this face.

The face suddenly seemed to sense something, and the hand coming out of the eye socket actually hesitated.

There were even some palms that quickly retracted into their eye sockets.

This hesitation made the monster's pursuit significantly slower.

With this effort, Xia Chong finally pulled Lu Xin and jumped out of the door.

"Wow..."

The door closed behind him, Lu Xin stumbled slightly and stood firm.

He found that he had returned to the real world, still in the original office, and everything just now was a dream.

But the scar on Xia Chong's leg was obviously not a dream.

They were criss-crossed, dripping with blood, and the skin and flesh in some places were turned over.

"Yo, twelve seconds..."

The voice of Dr. An rang. She had been looking at her watch and looked at Lu Xin with approval:

"For the first time, it's not bad."

"..."

"What on earth is this?"

Before Lu Xin could answer, Xia Chong, who almost fell down, shouted in horror.

"Yes..."

Lu Xin Thinking about the look of that face, he couldn't help but feel a little scared and said, "It's too scary."

Xia Chong turned around sharply and looked at his face. "I'm talking about you..."

"You only entered the abyss for more than ten seconds, how come you attracted the attention of Lord-class monsters?"

"Mental Monster at this level will generally only attack things that threaten it..."

"..."

"This..."

Seeing Xia Chong's fear and the thoughtful look of the female doctor beside him, Lu Xin didn't know how to answer for a moment.

After a while, he whispered, "This is obviously not my problem, right?"

"You should ask it..."

Although I haven't added any updates, I still want to ask for a vote!
