Abyss Game: I am covered with cheats

#244 - Chapter 244: Wedding Rumors

"Today is a beautiful day."

"The sun is shining, and a family is sending off their daughter."

"Qingcheng Residential Area, another bride is getting married today."

"A lively atmosphere fills the air above Qingcheng Residential Area."

"Children are singing nursery rhymes in the residential area, how lively."

"At least, that's how it should be in your mind."

"Don't cry, don't cry, get on the sedan chair obediently."

"There are gongs and drums, and a bridal sedan."

"There are flower shoes, and a new hat."

"There is a bridegroom to play with us."

Before you even entered the residential area, you could hear the children singing cheerful nursery rhymes.

As a member of today's wedding procession, you arrived at Qingcheng Residential Area early.

However, the atmosphere of the entire Qingcheng Residential Area seems different from what you imagined.

At this moment, you realized something was wrong.

You, who never believed in the almanac, wondered if today was an inauspicious day for weddings.

——

After listening to the instance introduction, Xu Tong opened his eyes.

As soon as he opened his eyes, a gust of cold wind blew over, brushing against Xu Tong's face.

"This instance is Hell difficulty. Except in specific circumstances, items in your inventory cannot be used, and skills will also be limited."

These were familiar words. Xu Tong was used to it. It wasn't the first time he had encountered this situation. If inventory items and skills were restricted, it might mean that this instance wouldn't involve particularly intense battles.

"Main quest triggered: Send the bride to the bridal sedan."

After triggering the main quest, Xu Tong turned his attention to the surrounding buildings.

Looking around, he saw a slightly dilapidated old residential area.

The road into the residential area was a bit rough, with even a small section cracked open, exposing the collapsed space below. Water pipes were exposed to the air.

"No wonder they're using a bridal sedan. Cars can't drive into this residential area."

Xu Tong muttered, turning his head to look outside Qingcheng Residential Area.

A tightly closed iron gate separated Xu Tong from the outside of Qingcheng Residential Area. The streets outside the residential area were very quiet, without a single living person.

Xu Tong had seen the words "Qingcheng" many times before. There was Qingcheng Hospital, Qingcheng Pharmacy, Qingcheng Post Office. Xu Tong even suspected whether this Qingcheng had some connection with the main world of the Abyss.

And he could directly see the outside of this Qingcheng Residential Area, but there wasn't a single living person.

"What secrets does this Qingcheng Residential Area hold?"

Saying that, Xu Tong went to the guard room at the entrance of Qingcheng Residential Area, wanting to ask the security guard which family the bride was from.

But there wasn't a single person in the guard room.

The entire Qingcheng Residential Area was deathly silent, not at all like a place where living people resided.

"This doesn't look like a bride is getting married at all. It feels like everyone is dead."

Xu Tong thought for a moment. Anyway, standing still and spacing out was useless. Why not wander around? Maybe he'd get lucky and run into the building where the bride lived?

After wandering around the residential area, Xu Tong's brain had already recorded the entire layout of the residential area.

[Your senses have done their best to perceive everything around you, but you still haven't captured any lively atmosphere related to the wedding. Your brain severely reprimanded your ears and eyes, but your ears were very unconvinced, saying that they heard the sound of living people, and specifically pointed out the direction]

The sound of living people?

Xu Tong immediately looked in the direction his ears indicated.

In the slightly foggy vision, Xu Tong saw several people sitting under a tree in the distance, seemingly discussing something.

Xu Tong had only taken a few steps towards the tree when the several figures that had appeared in Xu Tong's vision suddenly turned into only one person.

An elderly woman was sitting under the tree in a daze, wearing thick clothes, with slightly white eyes, indicating that she had some eye disease.

"Granny," Xu Tong stepped forward and asked, "Can you hear me?"

The old woman seemed to look over at the sound, but her gaze didn't focus on Xu Tong at all.

Seeing that the old woman didn't reply, Xu Tong scratched his head and continued to ask, "I heard that a bride is getting married today. I'm here to pick her up. Which building does the bride live in?"

The old woman slowly held out her hand, making a "2" gesture to Xu Tong.

"Building Two? Alright, Granny, you rest first."

Compared to a dead person suddenly appearing in a lively residential area, Xu Tong felt that a living person suddenly appearing in a deathly silent residential area was even more eerie.

And the most important thing was that he had clearly seen several people under the tree from a distance, but when he got closer, there was only the old woman left. This was obviously abnormal.

This old woman definitely had a problem.

But the hint in front of him would be a waste if he didn't use it, so Xu Tong quickly found the location of Building Two according to the layout provided by his brain.

Vines clung to the surface of the old building. Slightly cracked paint peeled off, and was stepped into powder by solid footprints, sticking to the ground, as if someone had painted a stroke with white paint.

An odd smell unique to old residential buildings echoed in the corridor, and there was an echo when stepping on the stairs, adding a more strange atmosphere to the already quiet floor.

Such an eerie and depressing instance caused almost zero mental burden to Xu Tong.

Because his body was really lively, Xu Tong had no way to feel lonely and depressed in this instance.

[Your brain is reprimanding your legs for making such a loud echo. The former hopes that the latter can be quieter to avoid triggering some dangerous events]

[Your legs are very dissatisfied with the brain, saying that you are the one in control of going upstairs, which has nothing to do with them]

Xu Tong: "…"

I'm sorry, I'm guilty.

Walking up floor by floor, Xu Tong didn't see any rooms on any floor with festive decorations similar to those when a bride gets married.

And the more he walked, the more familiar he felt with the scene in front of him.

This corridor…

This room layout…

Where have I seen it before?

Xu Tong recalled all the instances he had experienced and suddenly remembered…

"Wait, isn't this the same corridor I saw in the second instance in the Abyss world?"

The second instance in the Abyss world that Xu Tong experienced was the instance where he first met the Outer God's Agent. At that time, he came out of the room to deliver meat to the neighbor, and the corridor at that time was exactly the same as here!

"Damn it…" Xu Tong broke out in a cold sweat.

"Am I going to find the room where I blew up my whole family back then?"

As soon as Xu Tong finished speaking, a door appeared in his sight.

There was obvious charring on the edge of the door frame, looking like it had been blown up by something.

Xu Tong looked up at the door number.

"Isn't this the 'home' from my instance back then?"

"I actually found it!"
