【Law of the Abyss】

"you're awake?"

A white-haired old lady sat next to him, looking at him with loving eyes.

"Come on, drink this medicine."

Mu Bei looked at the bowl in front of him. It was dark and gave off a strange smell.

"You have been bewitched by fireflies. This medicine can help you expel it from your body."

Mu Bei didn't think much about it and finished the bowl.

Before long, he felt hot and sweaty all over, and there were fluorescent spots on his skin. The old lady used a towel to wipe off the fluorescent spots little by little, and he felt refreshed all over.

He stood up to thank the old man, but the old man just looked at him in a daze.

"Hey, which world are you from?"

"I'm from the 21st century, so where is this place?"

"This is the critical point, part of the abyss."

"critical?"

"Yes, Linji, didn't the Realm Master tell you?"

"Who is the Realm Master? I only saw a man in black clothes. Where is he?"

A trace of tears flashed in the old man's eyes, "That's the master of the world. He went to find them."

Mu Bei wanted to ask her, but the old woman looked tired and waved her hand, "Are you hungry?"

Food was extremely scarce in the border area. Mu Bei had stayed here for a week, and the most he ate was a thick soup made from the juice of black floribunda flowers. It had a bland taste and a sticky texture, and was barely enough to fill his stomach.

The old lady was the only person he knew here. He learned from her that the reason why there were so few people in Linji was because it was not suitable for human habitation at all. Food was scarce, and water was scarce. The most terrifying thing was that there was a monster called Tunyansha here. It was colorless and invisible and could swallow everything.

In order to protect Linji, the Lord of the Realm fought against Tunyansha and was seriously injured, so he thought of going to the outside world to find the person mentioned in the prophecy.

Is this why he came here? But he is just an ordinary person, he doesn't know anything, did the world master find the wrong person? And what about his uncle? Will he call the police? Will he think he is missing?

There are too many questions, and Mu Bei is having a headache thinking about them. He can only take one step at a time and wait for the man to come back.

When I saw the man again, he was followed by a woman who looked to be in her early twenties and seemed to be very close to him.

The woman was a little surprised when she saw Mu Bei: "Lin Feng, isn't he a child?"

Mu Bei cleared his throat and said, "I am eighteen years old, and I am an adult."

The woman glanced him up and down, "What can you do?"

"I can cook, study, mix cocktails, and deliver packages." Mu Bei said sincerely.

The woman burst into laughter and looked at the man, "Lin Feng, is this the person you're looking for?"

The man said calmly: "He has the Eye of the Abyss."

"What?" the woman exclaimed, "Impossible!"

"you try."

Mu Bei was completely confused. What kind of chuunibuntu setting is the Eye of the Abyss?

The woman smiled and looked at Mu Bei: "You scream?"

“Mubei, Mu of trees, Bei of north.”

"Mubei, do you want to go back?"

"Can I go back?"

"Of course, as long as you finish what you need to do, you can go back naturally."

The woman brought Mu Bei to a room. She sat on a chair and motioned for him to sit down too.

Please, big sister, don't mess with my mentality, okay? This is not a chair, it's clearly a red python, coiled together, its eyes are about to spit fire, how dare I sit on it, isn't this courting death? Mu Bei complained in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face.

"It's okay. I'm not tired. I used to be a waiter in a restaurant. I'm used to standing. What did you just say you should do?"

The woman smiled slightly and kept it a secret. "You'll know when the time comes."

"There are people waiting for me at home. I can't let them wait too long."

Mu Bei felt a lump in his throat when he thought of Mu Heng. He hadn't seen him for a long time.

Snapped--

The woman took out something and threw it at him. He took it and saw that it was a black patterned stone. To be more precise, it was a moving stone.

The stone rolled in his hands, "Hey, don't touch my belly."

Mu Bei looked down and realized that it was not a stone at all, but clearly a turtle. A circular tortoise shell pattern appeared on the turtle shell, which gradually became transparent and turned into a mirror. He saw Mu Heng.

"Uncle?" Mu Bei called in a low voice.

Mu Heng pretended not to hear and continued with his carpentry work. Soon, Mu Bei saw himself appear in front of Mu Heng again, and the two were having a cordial conversation.

What on earth was going on? Mu Bei was completely confused. Didn't he come here? Why was there another him there?

Soon, the mirror disappeared. "I'm so tired. Don't look at it anymore. It's tiring." The stone turtle yawned, lay on Mu Bei's hand and fell asleep. It didn't move and turned into stone again.

Su Lin saw all of Mu Bei's reactions. He was calmer than she had imagined.

"In your world, you must have heard of the theory of parallel universes, right?"

Mu Bei had indeed heard of it, but he was always skeptical.

"To be precise, this was also the law of the abyss in the past. There is no time, only possibility."

Mu Bei didn't understand even more and he looked at her in confusion.

"At the critical point, it is the source of all possibilities and also the place of annihilation, you see!"

Su Lin opened her hand, and a flower bloomed in her palm. The flower withered as soon as it bloomed, withered and bloomed again, in an endless cycle.

"When a flower blooms, it has already faded. When a flower fades, it is also a flower blooming. There is no difference between the two. It is just like whether you are there or here, it is the same."

Mu Bei stared into the woman's eyes. The woman smiled charmingly. He saw a white flower in her pupil, and a red snake coiled in the pistil. When it saw him, the red snake moved, spitting out its scarlet tongue, and flew towards him.

"Ah, no!" Mu Bei screamed, covered his face with his hands and fell to the ground.

Su Lin glanced at Mu Bei thoughtfully, "What a pity, your Eye of the Abyss."

Su Lin walked over to him and squatted down. Mu Bei smelled a faint floral scent on her. He opened his eyes and the plump figure of a mature woman appeared in front of him. His face turned red and he quickly stood up and kept a distance from her.

"Interesting." Su Lin walked away and glanced at him before leaving.

Only the man and him were left in the room. Lin Feng threw a book to him and said, "Read it thoroughly within three days."

Mu Bei looked carefully and saw four big words written on the cover: "Eye of the Abyss".

Reading the book is not difficult, but the difficult part is that it is a book without words.

Yes, he read it from beginning to end. Except for the few big words on the cover, the rest of the book "Eye of the Abyss" was all pictures, without a single word.

Even so, the impact of this book on him was too great. If he hadn't guessed, the Eye of the Abyss is very rare, only a very small number of people have it, and those who have it can improve the power of the Eye of the Abyss through practice, from being able to see things that ordinary people can't see, to being able to see the vibration frequency and movement trajectory of all things, breaking through all disguises and obstacles, and finally even having the ability to transform everything, it's amazing just to think about it!

Mu Bei recalled that one time when he was going home from school, he passed by an abandoned construction site. He saw a woman in red clothes sitting there every day. When he walked past her, her gaze stuck to him like a spider silk, making him unable to move. When he got home and told Mu Heng, Mu Heng's face turned livid and told him not to take that road after school.

Later, an accident happened at that construction site. Some people went there to explore at night. One person slipped and fell and died. The person who died was a student from their school. I heard from classmates that an accident happened at that construction site before. A worker stepped on empty space while working and fell to his death. The worker's wife came to the construction site to make trouble. She was pregnant at the time, but her husband died, and the construction site refused to compensate. In a fit of rage, she jumped from the roof wrapped in a banner, resulting in two deaths. Later, the project was reported by someone, and the boss ran away with the money when the house was half built. The project fell through, and the construction site became an unfinished building.

Now that he thinks about it, the woman in red that he saw at that time should be the worker’s wife. He can see things that others cannot see, just like he could see Lin Feng in the video that others could not see.

Three days later, Lin Feng came to find him.

"Did you understand the book?"

Mu Bei nodded and shook his head, "The Eye of the Abyss is very powerful, but I am currently at the most ordinary stage. How should I practice it? It's not mentioned in the book."

"Yes, it is enough for you to know these. As for cultivation, the opportunity has not yet arrived."

"Then can I go back?"

"Not yet. Something went wrong with the space-time gate recently. The channels between the various time and space have been mixed up. If it is not corrected, this place will soon be swallowed up."

It’s another day of not understanding anything. I feel so tired.

"So, brother, why did you ask me to come here? I stay here all day, can't eat or sleep, and there's no one to talk to. I'm bored to death."

Lin Feng snorted coldly, "Bored? Then go to the Critical Trial Field and find something to do."
