Staring at Inside Abyss Chapter 1

It was a small village in the mountains, hidden by layers of lush trees.

There is only one path leading to the village. Because it has just rained, the path is muddy and you need to be extra careful when walking on it.

Tristan Lin was walking on the path with a tall girl. This girl seemed to be of mixed race, with deep eyebrows and wide eyes. She was very beautiful. She was very tall, even taller than Tristan Lin. She was wearing an unsuitable long skirt, and her eyes were bright. Wrapped in tears, the girl sobbed softly and whispered: "Where is this place?"

Tristan Lin said: "Where were you before?"

The girl said: "In my bathroom."

Tristan Lin: "I'm on the corridor of my house."

The girl said: "Corridor...?"

Tristan Lin raised his head and glanced at the gloomy sky: "Did you open a door?"

The girl seemed to remember something, her expression changed slightly, and she said: "Yes."

Tristan Lin looked back at her: "Me too."

A gust of wind blew by, rustling the leaves on the treetops, making the surrounding atmosphere even quieter. Suddenly, light snow began to fall in the sky, as if urging them to speed up the process and make sure to reach the front before dark. A village surrounded by trees.

After the two talked, Tristan Lin learned that the girl's surname was Ruan and her name was Elara Ruan.

Tristan Lin was stunned for three seconds when he heard the name, and then praised it against his will: "What a good name."

Elara Ruan glared at him with her watery eyes and said, "All men are liars."

Tristan Lin: "Huh?"

Elara Ruan: "Don't think I haven't read pornographic films."

Tristan Lin: ... It seems that this girl is not as weak as he thought. While walking to the village, the two exchanged information and learned that the other party suddenly appeared in the wilderness because of opening a door.

Elara Ruan opened the one in her own toilet, and Tristan Lin opened the one in the corridor of his home.

"That door is a black iron door." Elara Ruan said in a thin voice, "There are no decorations at all. I was still wondering why there was such a door in my house suddenly, so I opened it without thinking too much. ..."

The next second they pulled away, they appeared in the wilderness.

Tristan Lin said: "I also opened a black iron door..." As soon as he said this, he saw a shadowy figure appearing on the path in front of him. The figure was very tall and should be an adult male.

"Big brother in front!!!" Tristan Lin greeted from a distance.

The man's footsteps paused, as if he heard Tristan Lin's voice.

Tristan Lin quickly ran forward, reached out and patted his shoulder: "Hello, do you know where this is?"

The man turned his head, revealing a face full of beards. Coupled with his tall and strong body, he looked like a bear at first glance: "Are you new here?"

Tristan Lin said: "What's new..."

The man said nothing, looked at him, and then at Elara Ruan who was a little scared behind her: "Let's go, I will explain to you in the village."

Tristan Lin said hello, and the three of them walked towards the village together.

The season here seems to be winter, and the sky gets dark very early. Before we arrived here, the setting sun was still hanging in the sky, but in the blink of an eye, only the dark clouds and falling snowflakes were left.

Tristan Lin was talking to the man while observing the surrounding situation. Apart from the village, there were no other light sources here. Surrounded by a sea of   forest as far as the eye can see, there are no roads and no people.

Tristan Lin took out a cigarette from his pocket and handed it to the man, but the man waved his hand and refused.

"Brother, where are you?" Tristan Lin asked.

The man said: "Just call me Knox Xiong."

Tristan Lin thought that this person really lived up to his name. He was about to ask again, but saw Knox Xiong making a stop gesture: "Don't ask, you will know what's going on when you get to the village."

"Oh." Tristan Lin said, "Okay."

So the three of them were speechless all the way, and the three of them hurried on, and finally reached the path in front of the village before the sky was about to completely darken.

Knox Xiong was obviously relieved and glanced into the darkness behind him: "Fortunately, let's go and meet them first."

Newcomers, them, Tristan Lin caught these keywords. Although he had a bad feeling when he got here, this bad feeling is getting stronger and stronger at this moment. Elara Ruan seemed to feel something. She didn't cry anymore. Her beautiful face was pale and her eyes were full of panic.

Knox Xiong continued forward and soon brought them to a three-story building next to the village.

He stood at the door and knocked, and heard a young girl's voice coming from inside: "Who is it?"

"It's me, Knox Xiong." Knox Xiong said.

"It's Brother Xiong, come in." The girl said, "We are waiting for you."

Knox Xiong reached out and pushed the door open. After a soft creak, the scene at the door was revealed. At the door is a spacious living room. At this time, there are about three people sitting in the living room. They are surrounding a pot of blazing fire, as if they are discussing something.

"Newcomer?" Someone saw Tristan Lin and Elara Ruan behind Knox Xiong.

"Newcomer." Knox Xiong slowly walked into the room and found a seat to sit down. "Sit down, Marley Xiao, and you explain to them."

Marley Xiao was the girl who opened the door for Knox Xiong. She looked like she was only fifteen or sixteen years old, with a delicate face: "You guys can sit down too. I'll briefly explain the situation."

Tristan Lin and Elara Ruan looked at each other and sat near the door.

"Actually, there's nothing to say." Marley Xiao's attitude was not enthusiastic, "We need to stay in the village for a while and solve some problems, and then everything will be fine."

Tristan Lin: "What's the problem?"

Marley Xiao said: "We don't know yet. We have to go to the village chief tomorrow..." She said, "Are there any materialists among you?"

Tristan Lin raised his hand: "Me."

Marley Xiao said: "Then you have to change your beliefs."

Tristan Lin: "...What do you mean?"

Marley Xiao said: "It means that supernatural events will happen here."

Tristan Lin: ...

Everyone's attitude towards the two newcomers Tristan Lin and Elara Ruan was very indifferent. Except for Marley Xiao, no one else even took the initiative to say hello to them.

Before coming in, Tristan Lin thought they were discussing things, but after sitting inside for a while, Tristan Lin found that they didn't say anything. A few people were sitting quietly in the living room, staring at the flames in front of them in a daze, while some were playing games on their mobile phones.

There is no signal for mobile phones here and cannot contact the outside world, but you can still play stand-alone games.

Tristan Lin counted briefly. Including him, there were eleven people in the room, seven men and four women. Judging from their faces, most of them were relatively young, and the oldest among them should not be more than forty years old.

The firewood in the fire made a crackling sound. Elara Ruan seemed a little sleepy after sitting for a while. She looked around and saw that no one had any intention of leaving, so she asked in a low voice: "Um... I'm sorry, may I ask?" Is there a room to sleep in here? I'm a little sleepy."

I don't know if it was Tristan Lin's illusion, but after Elara Ruan asked this question, the air in the room seemed to freeze.

"Forget it, it's time to rest." Knox Xiong stood up, "Otherwise, I'll still fall asleep in the living room, so let's share a room." He glanced at Tristan Lin, "You go with her, be careful at night , don’t run around..."

Elara Ruan said: "Me and him in the same room? But..."

Knox Xiong sighed: "What's the difference between men and women? Once you've passed the first night, you'll know that this place doesn't care about that anymore. If your life is gone, there's no difference between men and women."

Elara Ruan wanted to say something else, but seeing that the atmosphere among everyone was not right, she had to give up and agreed to stay with Tristan Lin.

Seeing her worried look, Tristan Lin had no choice but to comfort her: "Don't worry, I won't do anything to you."

Elara Ruan nodded.

There are nine rooms in total on three floors, but from the looks of it, they don't intend to live alone. At least there are two people per room, and there are three people living in one room.

"Let's go." Knox Xiong said, "See you tomorrow."

Everyone dispersed. Before leaving, Marley Xiao suddenly walked up to Tristan Lin and said softly: "Don't trust others too much, as long as you can survive this time..."

Tristan Lin was about to ask questions, but he saw her leaving in a hurry, apparently not intending to say anything more to Tristan Lin.

"Let's go." Elara Ruan said, "Let's go to bed."

Tristan Lin nodded.

Their room was on the right side of the corridor on the second floor. There was only one bed in the room, and pictures of people hung beside the bed.

There is no electricity here, so you can only light a kerosene lamp. Because the light is not very bright, the whole room has an old tone, and there is a musty smell in the air.

Tristan Lin originally thought that Elara Ruan would dislike the environment, but he didn't expect that she would adapt faster than him. After washing up quickly, she went to lie down on the bed.

Instead, Tristan Lin felt a little awkward sitting beside the bed.

"Go to sleep." Elara Ruan buried her head in the bed, her voice a little muffled, "Aren't you tired?"

Tristan Lin said: "A little tired."

"Yeah, today is so weird." Elara Ruan said, "I even wonder if you guys were invited by the show team to prank you, but there are no such complete pranks..."

Tristan Lin took off his coat and climbed into bed. In order to avoid suspicion, although he and Elara Ruan were on the same bed, they were covered with two quilts: "It's very strange."

Elara Ruan said: "And those people, have you noticed their eyes?"

Tristan Lin said: "They are afraid."

"Yes." Elara Ruan said, "They are afraid...so, what are they afraid of?"

Tristan Lin thought for a while and was about to speak when he heard even breathing coming from beside him. He turned his head and saw that Elara Ruan had fallen into a deep sleep.

Tristan Lin held his head against the ceiling above his head and fell into some kind of meditation in the dim light. He actually admired Elara Ruan. She suddenly appeared in a strange place and met so many strange people. Fortunately, she could fall asleep as soon as she closed her eyes.

However, as Tristan Lin thought about it, sleepiness gradually came to his heart. He closed his eyes and fell asleep.

In the middle of the night, Tristan Lin suddenly woke up.

He was lying in bed and heard a vague crashing sound.

The sound was like the biting wind blowing against the dilapidated windows, and the creaking sound was like someone walking barefoot on the floor, weighing the floor down.

Tristan Lin opened his eyes and saw that the house was plunged into hazy darkness.

The snow outside didn't know when it stopped, and the huge moon hung high in the sky. Cold light shot in from the head of the bed and sprinkled on the floor like a gauze.

When Tristan Lin's eyes slowly moved to the bedside, his breath suddenly stopped.

A woman's figure appeared at the head of the bed. The woman was sitting on the head of the bed with her back to Tristan Lin. Her long black hair obscured her outline. She seemed to be aware of Tristan Lin's awakening and slowly turned her head.

This scene was so much like a scene in a horror movie that Tristan Lin froze for a moment. Fortunately, he was more courageous. He gritted his teeth and sat up from the bed directly, cursing: "Fcuk, who are you!!" What are you doing here in my room?"

The woman's movements paused slightly, and then a voice came: "What is your name? It's me."

It was Elara Ruan's voice.

Tristan Lin breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Why are you sitting on the bedside so late at night without sleeping?"

"Did you see the well in front of the house?" Elara Ruan said, "It's the one in the yard."

Tristan Lin said: "Well? What well?" He was about to get up from the bed, but he accidentally glanced to his right. This glance made his blood freeze instantly - Elara Ruan was still sleeping in his bed. The right side, not moved at all.

"That's the well." The woman with the same voice as Elara Ruan said, "Let's go and have a look."

Tristan Lin: ...

The woman said, "Why don't you speak?"

Tristan Lin said: "I was rated as an outstanding party member and cadre just last month."

woman:"......"

Tristan Lin: "I am a staunch materialist."

woman:"......"

Tristan Lin said: "So why don't you scare someone else?"

The woman slowly turned her head, and under the moonlight, Tristan Lin saw her face. It was a face that was difficult to describe in words. It was pale, swollen, and her eyes almost squeezed out of their sockets. Her appearance was unfamiliar. , but the voice was so familiar, she said: "Aren't you afraid of me?"

Tristan Lin was silent for three seconds, then looked down at his bed: "Don't be like this, I only brought a pair of pants when I got here."

woman:"......"

Tristan Lin wiped his face: "I'm going to pee if I get scared again." After saying this, he reached out and started to pat Elara Ruan next to him, and said, "Get up quickly!!!"

Elara Ruan was dazedly woken up by Tristan Lin, rubbed her eyes and said, "What are you doing?" As soon as she opened her eyes, she also saw the woman sitting on the bedside, "Who is this? Tristan Lin, where are you going to look for if you don't sleep in the middle of the night? You got a woman, you are so shameless. How can I be inferior to her? "

Tristan Lin: ... Is this the point? ?

After Elara Ruan cursed a few times in a low voice, she suddenly felt something was wrong. She widened her beautiful black eyes and said, "Why is her neck getting longer and longer..."

Tristan Lin looked again and found that the woman had stood up from the bed, her head tilted to one side, and her neck became longer and longer, almost like a mutated snake.

Both of them were stunned when they saw this scene. Finally, Tristan Lin couldn't bear it anymore and shouted, "Fcuk, run." He grabbed Elara Ruan's hand and ran towards the door.

As a result, Elara Ruan, who was weak and weak during the day, ran faster than Tristan Lin, and disappeared outside the door like a gust of wind.

Tristan Lin: "You should run Fcuking slower------"

Elara Ruan: "Wouldn't it be cold if I run slower? ------"

Tristan Lin: ... Oh, woman.

The two of them ran all the way to the first floor like rabbits. They breathed a sigh of relief after making sure that the thing didn't follow them. Elara Ruan cried harder than anyone else and ran faster than a dog. When Tristan Lin was panting, she had tears in her eyes again, ready for another round.

"Stop crying, stop crying." Tristan Lin said, "Why don't you keep your voice down and attract that thing?"

Elara Ruan: "You only think about others and don't care about me."

Tristan Lin: ...

Probably because Lin Qiu Shi's expression was too disgusting, Elara Ruan held back her tears and sat weakly on the stool on the first floor, gently wiping the moist corners of her eyes.

At this time, they were standing in the living room on the first floor, and the whole room was empty. There was such a big commotion just now, but no one came out to watch the excitement, and other than their breathing, no other sound could be heard at all.

Tristan Lin stood there for a while and hesitated: "What should we do?" He and Elara Ruan had no experience in these matters and had no idea how to deal with them. They were standing in the living room like two wooden stakes.

"It's snowing outside." Elara Ruan suddenly said, slowly walked to the door and looked into the courtyard.

"It snowed in the middle of the night." Tristan Lin stood at the door and saw a thin layer of snow had accumulated in the courtyard. He also saw the well that the female ghost mentioned before. Indeed, as she said, there is a well in the middle of the yard. The location of the well was a bit awkward, located in the center of the entire courtyard, and even just blocked the door. This is not a good thing from a feng shui perspective.

"There is a stone entrance, but there is a mouth that is hard to describe." Elara Ruan suddenly said, "This well is wonderfully built." She laughed, and the corners of her eyes were particularly beautiful.

"What?" Tristan Lin said, "Do you still know Feng Shui?"

Elara Ruan said, "I have learned a little bit about this from my family." She looked at Tristan Lin sideways, "What do you do?"

Tristan Lin: "Designer..."

Elara Ruan: "Oh, you're not bald. You haven't been doing this for a few years, right?"

Tristan Lin: ... You are really good at talking.

"Guess what I do?" Elara Ruan brushed her hair.

Tristan Lin: "Model?" He rarely saw a girl as tall as Elara Ruan. She had a tall figure and a good temperament. She seemed to have no other shortcomings except for her small breasts.

"No." Elara Ruan said with a smile, "I am a fortune teller."

Tristan Lin was stunned.

"Let me do the math." Elara Ruan quickly calculated with her fingers, "The moon is so round today, I feel like I'm going to die."

Tristan Lin couldn't laugh or cry: "What kind of logic is this? People will die when the moon is full."

Elara Ruan ignored Tristan Lin. She walked towards the courtyard and waved to Tristan Lin. Tristan Lin was shocked by her actions: "Why are you going? It's so late..."

Elara Ruan said: "I want to see this well."

"Let's watch it tomorrow during the day. It's too dangerous to watch now." Even though Tristan Lin said this, he was still worried that something would happen to Elara Ruan, so he followed her into the courtyard.

Elara Ruan was wearing a long white dress and walked as lightly as an elf in the snow. She slowly approached the well mouth, but did not lean over. Instead, she waited for Tristan Lin to come over.

Tristan Lin said: "What's wrong?"

Elara Ruan said: "Nothing, suddenly I don't want to see anymore, let's go back."

Tristan Lin was confused: "Why do you have to go back?"

"It's too cold." Elara Ruan said, "I'm freezing." After she said that, she naturally held Tristan Lin's arm, and then forcefully pulled him back into the house.

Tristan Lin was pulled by Elara Ruan and found that she was extremely strong and couldn't break free for a while.

"Elara Ruan?" Tristan Lin was frightened by Elara Ruan's strength.

Elara Ruan then let go: "Let's go, it's so cold. Go back quickly, you can sleep a little longer..." After she finished speaking, she ignored Tristan Lin and went upstairs to her room.

Tristan Lin had no choice but to follow her back to the room on the second floor. Fortunately, the scary woman from before was gone, but the window was opened, and the cold wind blew into the house.

Elara Ruan got on the bed, closed her eyes and was about to fall asleep.

Tristan Lin couldn't sleep, so he lit the kerosene lamp again and stayed up all night. The nights here are long and terrifying, with the howling wind and snow outside the house and the sleeping beauty inside. Elara Ruan slept in the same bed as the man she met for the first time, but she was not on guard. She was breathing evenly and had a light blush on her white cheeks, making her look particularly attractive.

Tristan Lin glanced at it and then looked away. Although he is not a gentleman who sits still, nor is he the kind of villain who takes advantage of others' danger.

The next day, around eight o'clock, the shadow of the rising sun appeared on the edge of the sky.

It had snowed all night and it was already completely white outside.

Elara Ruan groaned and opened her eyes, first stretched out an arm, and then retracted it instantly: "It's so cold..."

When Tristan Lin saw her appearance, he thought that's not what you said last night.

"Qiu Shi." Elara Ruan said, "Go and find two clothes for me. I'm wearing a skirt...it's too cold."

Tristan Lin said yes. He actually planned to find two pieces of clothing to thicken himself up. After all, it was still hot summer in his world.
