Chapter 284 Survivors

Kesais also summoned rain.

The steady drizzle that fell on the village concealed the tragedy that had occurred there.

After the rain stopped, Xusais confirmed that there was no spreading abyss here, and then she left.

Anti and his party went along with her.

"Is there no hope once you're infected by the abyss?" Xie Jinghong suddenly asked on the way.

Kesais looked at the talking crab with some surprise, but the dream world was full of surprises, so she quickly put away her thoughts and said, "It's hopeless."

Xie Jinghong's gaze was directed towards An Ti.

He still trusted Anti's judgment more.

"Normally speaking, there's no hope. Not everyone has special things to protect them, and not everyone is lucky." But Anti's answer also disappointed him.

No matter whether it is An Ti or Lin Jinghong, the reason why they are fine after being infected by the abyss is not because the abyss is easy to solve, but because there are people behind them.

With the help of the bosses, Anti can now walk in the abyss. Although the bosses say he is very important, Anti always feels that without the bosses, he is just an ordinary person, so he should thank them for helping him. And Lin Jinghong has tormented himself, and it is only with Lindsay's support that he can hold on until now.

Even so, Lin Jinghong's situation still required Anti's intervention to enter the dream, which was not smooth.

What can those villagers just now rely on?

"Do you know a lot about the abyss? That's rare." Xusai looked at Anti in surprise.

"A little bit." Anti answered simply, all of which was just stealing Esther's understanding.

"Although I understand it, it's better not to get close to anything related to the abyss if you don't have to. You can't be sure when you will be contaminated by that strange thing. Don't let yourself become part of the tragedy." Xusais advised softly.

"Our goal should be the same, to fight against the abyss." Anti said bluntly.

Although his main job has nothing to do with this, this is what Anti did in this dream.

"...like this." Without saying anything more, Kesais lowered his head and quickened his pace.

"Xasis... I remember, I've heard of this name." Anti suddenly spoke, causing Xasis to pause and turn to look at him.

"You are the owner of the Quiet Water Eyes. Your hometown was destroyed by the Wandering God. You followed your parents and became homeless. You resettled in a small country...but that small country also seemed to be destroyed by the Wandering God in the end, and the shadow of the abyss was in that Wandering God disaster." Anti revealed the information one by one.

This was a historical figure that he had seen in the records of the Still Water Eyes in Esther's laboratory.

"How do you know... so much?" Xusais's handsome eyes widened slightly and he looked at Anti in surprise.

"I'm here to fight the abyss. Where are you going next? The next stop." Anti didn't answer directly, but just repeated it.

After a moment's hesitation, Kesais answered Anti: "An independent city-state... Inspiration tells me that there is an abyss there. This is my next stop."

"Okay, then let's go together." Anti said.

Xases would die in the abyssal destruction of an independent city-state.

Kesaisi: "...I'm used to being alone."

"Habits can be changed. I was used to being alone before I got familiar with the people around me." Anti followed up.

Iris glanced at Anti.

Finally, Kesais was still a little concerned about the fact that Anti could directly tell him so much information, so he stopped insisting: "Okay."

Several people moved forward together.

Unlike Dodon's group, Kesais was not enthusiastic and kept people at a distance. At the beginning, only Anti and Xie Jinghong chatted, and Iris occasionally interrupted, while Kesais didn't say many words in a day.

But if you ask her something, she will not refuse to respond.

Xie Jinghong would occasionally go to her to ask about the Abyss. Although Kesais would ask why he didn't go to his acquaintance An, he would still patiently answer Xie Jinghong's questions after that. In the middle of the chaotic world of Youshen, there was not even a town on the long road that could accommodate them and give them a rest. They basically had to sleep in the open.

Kesais and Xie Jinghong gradually became familiar with each other through frequent conversations.

"Well, this is probably what the miracle is like. Water is inherently changeable. Try to use the transformation skills to directly connect different water miracles and blur the boundaries between different miracles. This will be more conducive to understanding and performance." Kesais taught Crab Jinghong some miracle skills.

At first she felt it was too strange to teach a crab, but over time she got used to it.

As Anti said, habits can change.

It may also be because the opponent is just a crab, so it is easier for Kesais to let go of his usual airs.

"Well, okay, thank you." Xie Jinghong thanked after experiencing it.

"No, take a rest."

The two of them suddenly fell silent, watching Anti teaching Iris how to skip stones on a river in the distance. As the king of the game, Anti's skipping was also very beautiful. Although Iris got the hang of it quickly, it was still difficult for her to reach Anti's level, and she inexplicably started to compete with Anti.

"Why did you turn into a crab?" Kesais asked. This was the first time she and Xie Jinghong had spoken to each other in such a long time.

"Hmm? Well... after merging with a wandering god, it became like this... and was also affected by the abyss." Xie Jinghong thought for a moment and answered truthfully, but his words were vague.

Kesais looked at the crab next to him in surprise: "Then you are really awesome." Both Youshen and Abyss are not ordinary stuff, and this crab has two of them.

"I'm not that great." Xie Jinghong said, "I was powerless to resist the difficulties. It was the first time in my life that I chose to give up thinking and act rashly. In the end, I just let others help me out. The people who helped me are great, not me."

Kesais gently stroked his face under the mask: "Don't think so. Aren't you working hard to become stronger?"

"I'm just trying my best. I don't know what my future will be like. I might die suddenly." Xie Jinghong said. The ending of this dream is related to his survival.

"This shouldn't be the case. Since you were saved by someone who helped you and you hate your incompetent self, shouldn't you be more motivated to live and do something?" said Kesais.

"You're right. I'll try my best."

"Sorry, my tone was harsh."

"No, it's really an eye-opener." Xie Jinghong said with a smile.

Kesais was silent for a while, then slowly reached out and took off his mask.

She revealed a face that was not very distinctive, ordinary, not stunning, and even a little scary. Because there was a scar across her nose and across both cheeks, and the edges of the scar had fine cracks.

abyss.

That is the scar eroded by the abyss.

"You are...!" Xie Jinghong was speechless.

"The wandering god who destroyed my second home brought with him the power of the abyss and killed my parents, leaving this scar on my face. The pain that burns my flesh and spirit reminds me all the time." Kesais said lightly and put the mask back on.

"..."

"I am a survivor. I have also met countless survivors in many adventures since then. Survivors are grateful to be alive, but they also question themselves why they are the lucky ones to survive." Xase continued in a dull voice.

"Time has stopped for the dead, and the living must continue to live and do something. My mother was eroded by the abyss and turned into a monster in front of my eyes. She also became the first abyss monster I killed in my life. My eyes prevent me from falling easily even if I suffer superficial erosion, so I should continue to move forward. Because I killed my mother and survived, I have been taking the lives of poor people since then, so I must do this."

Kesais said firmly, her heart was very strong, which shocked Lin Jinghong.

Anti watched the two people talking from a distance, turned his head and said nothing.

Elise was still thinking in her head, even forgetting her usual elegance and dignity, and clenched the stone in her hand: "Come again."

"Even if you cut off the river, you still can't defeat me, so it's not a waste of time." Anti reminded gently.
