Abyssal Kingdom

The elevator opened with a "ding".

Gui Ling has already talked to these people about all the problems they can pay attention to, and when they come back, many people may never see each other again.

There was nothing to say, Wei An walked in without looking back.

Gui Ling walked to him, the door closed, and the elevator sank.

Wei An stared at the elevator screen, there were no numbers on it, only a vague reflection.

The elevator runs smoothly, and there is no sound outside, and it has been more than 10 minutes.The elevator was made a bit too big, and the two of them looked small like children in it, stepping on the smooth metal floor, and the darkest depths below.

Wei An grabbed Gui Ling's hand, and the man held his tightly, this was an adventure.

This kind of thing never ends well, but he still comes, and the people around him are the only life-saving ropes that can be grasped.He knew that it might disappear at any time, and every step he took was so fragile.

But he could only follow the past, leave the family with this unrealistic and beautiful voice, and walk into the darkness.

After a while, the lights in front of the elevator flickered, and there was a sign saying "reach the bottom".

Wei An said: "There is no way."

The elevator door opens.

Outside the elevator is a bare wooden floor, which is very old, has been soaked in blood repeatedly, and has been cleaned off.

It was a dark corridor, and there was a faint putrid smell in the air, coming from the building itself.

The floor was quite smooth, dark red, like the kind of heavy wooden floor that big families would use. Wei An flinched, but still walked up it.

In the deepest part of this cesspit leading to hell, there is such a classic and luxurious floor and walkway.The walls were covered with a layer of dark red velvet, and the space in the entire corridor seemed extremely depressing.

The corridor sloped downwards, making it uncomfortable to walk, getting darker as it went.

They walked forward, and there were some paintings hanging on the wall, inlaid with square dark gold frames with classical patterns, but the content was very vulgar and disgusting. They were paintings of slaughterhouses, hunting and eating raw prey, and portraits of people with weird shapes , some pretentious artistic atmosphere, which makes people very uncomfortable.

The corridor is extremely long, and it is by no means the layout of a normal house. When it reaches the front, it has sloped down to a steep point.

They descended cautiously, took two stairs leading to the thirteenth level below, and saw a small hall on the left side of the corridor.

Wei An walked over to have a look. Inside was a dilapidated classroom with some desks and the dilapidated wooden floor soaked in blood.

Wei An stared at it intently, he felt his face was so familiar that his heart palpitated when he first saw it, it was very similar to a certain place in the orphanage when he was a child.

But it's more like a room in Pale World, a place that was used as an orphanage, with this little classroom.

Still dilapidated, but a bit newer than when it was in the "Time Bureau", as if it was still in use not long ago.

Classrooms are all in a similar pattern, and similarities are normal.

They went in and looked at the house.

The classroom is not big, and there is a pile of garbage in the back. There are many dolls that have been severely abused, broken needles, iron chains, and homework books, mixed with tiny human corpses.

The blackboard was wiped casually, and a line of words was faintly visible, which read "Punishment: Go to the classroom after lights out", behind which there was a crying emoji graffitied in chalk, but it seemed to be smiling maliciously.

Below were the names of several "punished" children, most of which could not be read clearly, but one of them made Wei An's scalp tingle.

It's vague, but it's definitely these two words, "Qin Wei".

"He did it," Wei An whispered, "He put me in it."

He remembered his father's last smile—he was waiting for him in the abyss.

Wei An stared at the name on the blackboard, even here, his name was still "Qin Wei".

His real name has indeed completely disappeared. After destroying the slave system, he still can’t remember it. This name has been erased in a major way. The cultivation of slaves from powerful families as “chief stewards” is a major event full of rituals. The destroyed part even includes a few memories. The relevant memory of the person with his name will kill some people for it.

Wei An turned his head and saw a lock in the garbage on the podium table.

The medical lock to prevent self-injury is very high-grade, small, fingerprint lock, only the father can open it.It was rusted to the point where only the basic shape could be seen, but he knew the thing.

It was an artifact of his upbringing, and at around the age of 19, he was locked in the dingy hall of a property in Qin's house for more than ten days because it was where he "made mistakes".

That's because Qin Yi and a group of people held a promiscuous party here, and went to get things by himself. Qin Yi thought that he could call "big brother" to let them have a good time, so he asked someone who was having fun with him at that time to recruit him into the group.

Wei An didn't know what the problem was at the time, and he was so disgusted that he wanted to vomit when someone touched him, so he gave that guy a hard lesson.

His father didn't like Qin Yi's behavior very much, but he felt that Wei An's resistance was more serious. He cleared the scene and locked Wei An there for fifteen days to "educate" him.

There were quite a few doctors and researchers specializing in consciousness control. His heartbeat, blood pressure, adrenaline secretion, and other minimal reactions represented what kind of things, all of which had been accurately calculated and regulated purposefully.

Wei An committed suicide once, but failed.

So they put him in anti-suicide equipment, and it looked exactly the same as it did back then.It's so ordinary, nothing special, but you just can't get rid of it.

He will never forget his father's crutches in his life. He touched him many times, and the taste and texture soaked his soul.

He broke down at last, crying in his father's arms.The man reached out to touch the wound on his forehead, he trembled, and the man said, "Do you know what's wrong?"

He said, "I know I was wrong."

The father moved lightly, stroked his hair, and said, "Good boy."

The father's hands were stained with blood, but this soothing touch brought Wei An a great, unnatural sense of security and happiness. He felt that he had found a place, that he was a safe child.

The floor there is also dark red, with a velvet carpet of the same color. Wei An's blurred vision can see a devil-style art painting, which is dignified and disgusting.

Dad will take care of him, tell him his bottom line, what he is, how to live, and he won't hurt him.

Later, his father asked him to apologize, and "Qin Wei" no longer rejected physical contact, and smiled and was very polite to the other party's touch.

His father didn't ask him to do anything, because "I didn't raise you to fool around with those people."Wei An was very grateful, he followed Qin Wusheng obediently, and he was swallowed up.

He is a rootless duckweed, and his father's purpose is to let him grab everything he can.

He belonged to his father, and when the Qin family was destroyed, he couldn't grasp anything. He was destroyed with this ability, and later he met Guiling.

He liked it so much, so he treated that person with all the theories of qualified love, carefully tested the boundaries of getting along, and kept him in a perfect and dreamy state like a fairy tale.

Wei An knew that he couldn't control himself and would regard Guiling as an object. He was a unique life-saving straw in his miserable life. He would not allow betrayal, and he must not lose it.

Wei An slammed the lock on the wall, and it shattered in two. With a cold face, he went to flip through the messy books on the podium.

Gui Ling has been watching him intently, the man has been very nervous ever since Qin Wusheng appeared just now, as if Wei An would disappear if he looked away.

Wei An unhealthily likes him being so dependent on himself.

He checked the garbage dump for clues, moving quickly, no matter what trouble lay ahead, he had to rush in regardless.

There is actually content in the book, which shows that the details of this world are very complete.

This is the kind of book that a child kidnapping gang might have. It is equipped with bright and weird pictures, and uses very childlike language to teach children that they should normally accept some needles and restraints.

Wei An quickly found a sketch of the school building on the back page of a book, which was printed in a very rough way, something like this is sometimes printed on old-fashioned orphanage books to prevent children from getting lost.

The layout of the building is very weird, a long lonely corridor, all the perimeters are painted black.

"Classroom" is written on one side, which is where they are now.There is a turn not far ahead, and there is another downward staircase, where Wei An saw "Entrance 1 of the Management Classroom".

The whole building was a long downward passage, curling, with stairs and ramps, and here and there in the darkness a classroom, a dormitory, a play area, but all descending further and further down.

Guiling looked at the information for a while, then looked up at the surrounding environment.

Then the man said: "This should be a crack where the main erosion method is brain intrusion, and it will affect people's consciousness and judgment."

Wei An stopped tearing up the map for a moment.

"As we continue down, there may be a serious sense of disorientation," Gui Ling said, looking at him. "The ninth-level system has certain immunity, but your firewall is not complete, and...it is targeting you."

Wei An stood there for a few seconds, expressionless, and then continued to tear off the map.

He knew what it meant, that the worst would be to die at all costs, but this type of crack represented loss of dignity into the darkest place.

He put away the map and turned to look at Guiling.

The man was also looking at him, Wei An could see himself in his eyes, he imagined that he should look more reliable, but in fact he was frightened, vulnerable and trembling.

"I won't...lose you." Wei An said.

His voice was suppressed, bloody and hopeless.

"I know," Guiling said, with a firm tone, "The erosion of the cracks cannot damage the connection of the synchronization system. No matter what our state is, we will maintain some kind of connection."

He raised his hands, both of them were wearing wedding rings, and the red thread system appeared in this environment.

He saw Wei An's gentle expression, with doting and cherishing feelings, as if it was a date where two people were in love.

"If you get lost, you have to think about me," Gui Ling said to him, "and then go straight down to the deepest part of hell, we can find him and kill him—"

When he said these words, his eyes were full of murderous intent, seeing that Wei An looked like a treasure that might be lost, he didn't know how to be safe, he desperately wanted to kill Qin Wusheng.

Wei An was very scared because he knew his ego had been destroyed, he couldn't resist those, and only "Qin Wei" was left.

He looked at Gui Ling, when in City of Ashes, Gui Ling looked into his eyes and said "You can't live like this, you made the best choice", he knew that this person is very good.

If you catch him, you can see the world with his eyes, replacing the nameless person who was erased.

He likes the self in Gui Ling's eyes, who is better than he actually is, and more deserving of happiness.

Wei An carefully leaned over and kissed Gui Ling.

The other party kissed him tenderly. This is a lingering and tender kiss, which represents a beautiful relationship between lovers.

At this moment he seemed to be the version of himself he liked better, the destroyed part of him was still there, wanting to fight at all costs, wanting to have a better life, to take himself back.

He felt that he was still, in the love of another, caring, saving, resisting, able to be happy.

"Okay," Wei An said, "I'll kill him."

He stood a little away and looked at his handsome savior.

"You know," he said, "I like your ability to simply and quickly progress to how to kill the opponent no matter what trouble you encounter."

He spoke in a hoarse voice, as if flirting, and stroked Gui Ling's face with one hand.

The man rubbed against his palm, and gave a soft "um", Wei An felt like he was going to melt.

This kind of thing makes people feel infinite motivation in such a terrible moment, Wei An turned his head to look out the door, trying to tell himself that now is not the time to flirt.

They went to the "management classroom".

He will never throw away Guiling, this is the one he will hold on to until he dies, if he loses it...he can't think like this, he holds that person's hand tightly, the price is too great, he can't pay rise.
