[BL] I Wasn't Born Lucky (Unlimited Flow)

Chapter 252

The abyss was as Shen Chenzhi had said. It was a dark place.

The darkness was different from that of reality when lights were turned off. The darkness here was sticky like a flowing swamp. There wasn't a trace of light and no smell but it made people feel suffocated.

Coming here was a momentary effort, just like entering an instance. In the blink of an eye, Xiao Li felt like he was standing on the ground but he couldn't see what was at his feet. He looked back and found before turning around and asking Shen Chenzhi, "Where is the pollution?"

"In the darkness. It is everywhere but you can't see it because I'm here." Shen Chenzhi kept holding him, like a parent afraid of losing his children. Shen Chenzhi's chin rested on Xiao Li's shoulders and he clung tightly. "I will take you for a deeper look."

He loosened his arms and led Xiao Li forward.

There was no other scenery in the depths of the abyss. When going deeper inside, it was still dark. The only difference was the speed in which the darkness flowed. It had become more active. It was an indescribable feeling. Staying in this place for a long time could easily be suffocating.

The abyss wasn't big. Shen Chenzhi took him around for awhile and it took less than 10 minutes. He took Xiao Li and sat down here he used to sit most often. There was nothing to look at here. Everything was familiar to Shen Chenzhi but thanks to the presence of his lover, this time was more satisfying than any resort. He reached out a hand and spoke in a low voice. "Any traces of darkness here that flows out can easily pollute a god."

"What happens when you're polluted?" Xiao Li asked.

"You will go crazy and die. Then after death, you will pollute more of the world."

"Earlier, the order of the instances hadn't taken shape. I had to guard here every minute and couldn't get out. Now the power of the gods has been strengthened by the instance and fed back. I have more free time and just have to come back here for half a day every month to suppress it."

Xiao Li listened to him speak up to here and abruptly reached out to pat Shen Chenzhi on the back.

He had only stayed here for a short time and felt discomfort. However, Shen Chenzhi had to guard here every day and night. It was no different from prison. Every time he got out of here, he went outside to buy food for Xiao Li or just wanted to watch Xiao Li's house from downstairs.

At this moment, there seemed to be some feelings burning in Xiao Li's heart. Xiao Li grabbed Shen Chenzhi's arm and pushed him to the grounds. His voice seemed to be suppressing some emotion. "There is still something I find strange."

Xiao Li used too much strength and Shen Chenzhi's entire body directly hit the ground. Even so, his brow didn't furrow. He just asked, "What is it?"

Xiao Li's fingertips ran over the other person's first button and he undid it with a painful slowness. "The first time I entered the instance, you had already changed to my instance book and spoke those first words to me. At that time, I didn't know you."

"So why do you... like me?"

Shen Chenzhi hadn't expected Xiao Li to ask about this. He stared at the other person for a long time before reaching out and pinching Xiao Li's chin.

"Maybe you don't remember." Shen Chenzhi spoke slowly as if recalling the past. "However, we met long ago."

Xiao Li stopped. "When?"

He recalled carefully and couldn't remember any intersection with Shen Chenzhi long ago. Shen Chenzhi lay back, his light coloured pupils were almost black in the abyss. He whispered, "It was when I could only go out for half a day every year. Long ago, you lived with your mother."
