She still looked out the window, saying nothing.

Luo Ling wanted to go over and say something, but she didn't know what to say, so she just sat quietly beside her sister.

"It's okay, we're just separated temporarily."

Luo Ling told herself this in her heart.

So she also followed her sister's example and stared out the window.

The train station is built in a relatively desolate suburb, surrounded by mountains, forests and flying birds. It looks a bit reminiscent of the scenery around Baiyan Village.

But this place is not Baiyan Village, it’s just similar.

Luo Ling watched boredly until the train started moving slowly and the warning whistle sounded again.

Just then, she saw a familiar figure out of the corner of her eye, which startled her so much that her eyes widened and she almost stood up.

"Ji Ying!"

The tall woman who appeared and disappeared in the woods had an unforgettable cold and indifferent expression.

Her mouth opened and closed, as if she was saying something to Luo Ling.

But Luo Ling couldn't hear or see clearly.

She could only stare at the vague figure in the distance, trying to make out something.

But at this moment, her sister's voice rang in her ears.

"Xiao Ling, did you see it?"

Her sister's voice was calm and gentle, but Luo Ling heard a subtle difference from before.

My sister raised her hand and pointed into the distance, which was the direction the train was heading.

"That seems to be the abyss."

Chapter 5: Beyond the Boundary, the Realm of Nothingness (k)

The train slowly moved and a long whistle sounded.

Luo Ling looked towards the distance where her sister was pointing and opened her mouth.

A blue sky.

abyss?

What abyss?

Luo Ling looked at Su Wan suspiciously, but found that her sister's expression revealed some unusual complexity.

Memories, nostalgia, struggle...

But they are all very faint and difficult to detect.

"Sister, did you not rest..."

Luo Ling had only said half of her words when she heard a sharp, piercing cry that seemed to come from the legendary hell and was about to pierce her eardrums.

"Well..."

Luo Ling showed a bit of pain on his face and bent down slightly.

But the people around seemed to have no reaction to the sharp cry. Their looks were filled with confusion and worry. Only Li Shaoheng's pupils shrank slightly when he looked at Luo Ling.

"What's wrong?" Cen Xiangyun came over quickly and took out the motion sickness medicine. "Oh my God, you don't get sick when you're riding a van, but how come you get sick when you're riding a train..."

"It's not motion sickness..."

Luo Ling's face turned a little pale. Her sister next to her gently supported her and she sat up straighter.

"That..."

"fine."

Luo Ling had become accustomed to all kinds of strange things happening to her, and after taking a breath, she felt much more relieved.

But the next moment, she raised her head, and her face turned a little paler.

She finally realized what the abyss her sister had just mentioned was.

The sky, which was clear blue just now, was now stained with a strange dark color for some reason, slowly swallowing something.

The skyline and the distance were all submerged in this bleak darkness with a sense of desolation.

The train whirred forward, along the tracks, heading towards the abyss.

"Ms. Luo Ling, calm down."

Just then, Li Shaoheng next to him came closer and spoke softly.

"But this..."

Luo Ling wanted to say something but stopped herself. Everyone was looking at her with strange eyes, even Cen Xiangyun was no exception.

She looked at her sister as if for help, but her sister just stared blankly out the window, as if gazing at the invisible dark abyss.

...was it her illusion?

Or is it an illusion?

Li Shaoheng was silent for a while, then picked up the pen on his suit, wrote a few words, and handed it to Luo Ling.

At the same time, he stopped the curious Cen Xiangyun and prevented her from reading the contents of the note.

Luo Ling took the note, took a look at it, and felt relieved a little, but was then filled with even greater confusion.

The note reads.

"Do not look into the abyss. Close your eyes."

The abyss she and her sister saw was not fake.

Is Jiangcheng County surrounded by such an abyss?

But why?

Luo Ling looked at Li Shaoheng again and opened her mouth slightly, but before she could ask a question, Li Shaoheng made a hushing gesture and handed her another note.

"This is information that cannot be passed on. If you are not careful, you will go crazy. I will explain it to you when we reach our destination."

So, I chose to use a note...

Luo Ling knew some theories. Ordinary people could not see the weirdness, which was actually the protection mechanism of this world. Knowledge beyond cognition would lead to mental illness. Qingshan Mental Hospital had taken in some such patients.

In fact, the "prophet" is also a mentally ill patient of this type, but the member of the "sky speaker" is actually the mysterious gypsy girl who insisted that the "prophet" is a special awakened person and took her away, which led to what happened later.

This world is weird and has awakened people, so it is normal to have some other problems. Thinking of this, Luo Ling felt a little relieved.

She turned her head to look at Su Wan, and seeing that her sister was still in a daze, she tugged at her clothes with some concern and whispered,

"Sister, are you... okay?"

"Well, I don't get carsick."

Su Wan came to her senses and smiled at Luo Ling.

"But, outside..."

Luo Ling's gaze moved slightly, looked at the darkness that was about to spread outside the window, and swallowed.

"Isn't it normal?" Su Wan asked doubtfully.

"normal?"

"Well, it's always like this outside." Su Wan nodded, "You've never been out, so you don't know."

Her sister's indifferent answer made Luo Ling not know how to continue speaking. It was obvious that this strange abyss could only be seen by the two sisters and the reliable middle-aged man. It was not a normal thing at all.

Let’s not talk about this issue for now. Sister...isn’t she an ordinary person?

Why can we see this strange phenomenon that even ordinary awakened people cannot see?

And I took it for granted that it was normal...

Just as Luo Ling was having complicated thoughts, the train had already entered the abyss.

It was pitch black outside, with even the sound of ghosts screaming and screaming, but the inside of the train was still bright and sunny. The mild winter sun shone through the glass windows, casting a golden shadow on the small square table in front of the seats.

Ever since Luo Ling showed that she could see the abyss, Li Shaoheng had been staring at her with a hint of disbelief in his eyes.

"How did she see..."

Li Shaoheng appeared calm on the surface, but a huge wave was stirring in his heart.

It was simple. He could see the abyss, and not only that, he knew why.

Only those who have been awakened and have come into contact with the "power" can witness this abyss with their own eyes and recognize its existence.

This was the reason why Cen Xiangyun complained before about why Li Shaoheng didn’t drive here directly when the place was only two or three hundred kilometers away.

Because Li Shaoheng recognized the existence of the "abyss", he could not move forward in the abyss. Firstly, he would get lost, and secondly, he would attract the attention of the terrifying existence in the abyss.

So now, Li Shaoheng has been trying his best to avoid looking out the window, for fear of attracting some unspeakable horror.

Correspondingly, if you have never come into contact with "power", you generally cannot see the abyss. If you accidentally cross the line and come into contact with the abyss... you will most likely go crazy.

It seems that the sisters show no signs of going crazy, so they can only be awakened people who have come into contact with "power".

But the problem is...

One of them is an ordinary person, and the other is a lower-level awakener. How did they do it?

The contact with "power" here does not mean being beaten or simply seeing it, but experiencing the power of "power" and deeply feeling the mysterious understanding of the path of "power".

Even within the "company", only awakeners above P8 level can use sacrificial vessels to access "power", allowing themselves to go further on the path.

If you are below this level, coming into contact with "power"...going crazy would probably be the best outcome. What's even scarier is that your mind would be weirdly occupied by the sequence to which the "power" belongs, and you would become an "egg" waiting to be hatched.

Accidents like this have occurred more than a dozen times in the three hundred years since the company was founded, and it is already an extremely painful lesson.

Li Shaoheng stared at the two sisters intently, fearing that a similar accident would happen.

Again, anything can happen before you reach your destination.

"I borrowed it, thank you."

A voice sounded, and Li Shaoheng subconsciously turned his body to the side and made way.

But the next moment, he realized something was wrong.

outsider?

No, how could there be outsiders in this carriage?

He had already booked the entire carriage, so there was no way other passengers would show up!

Li Shaoheng immediately looked up and saw a single eye and a familiar cat-shaped eye mask.

"Tsk tsk, it's not easy to get here."

The scientist clapped his hands, beads of sweat appearing on his forehead. It was obvious that he had dealt with a lot of the backup plans that Li Shaoheng had left in advance. In addition, with his elusive ability, he was able to enter this carriage.

Hearing this voice, Elsa subconsciously wanted to hide, but her nightmare finally caught up with her.

At the same time, several handleless flying blades locked the scientist in all directions, forcing her to sigh helplessly and snap her fingers.

The figure disappears.

——"Looking back".

Elsa also disappeared with her.

as well as...

"elder sister--"

Luo Ling suddenly discovered that there was an empty seat next to her and her sister was gone.

"How can this be?"

Li Shaoheng next to him widened his eyes in disbelief.

Now they are outside the "boundary", why can she use "backtracking" to take people away?

On the way here, Li Shaoheng made many precautions and arrangements. As long as the members of the "Evil Pioneer" dared to take action, they would be greeted with a catastrophic disaster.
