The Abyssal Garden: No Room for the Idle

Chapter 70 - 70 Memories of Abyssal Paradise

Xu Linqiu was very serious, and the night watchman was quite earnest too, even though it was not the first time he had heard it, he really wanted to see Su Qi reveal a look of fear.

After all, the history of "Abyssal Paradise" was filled with cruelty and despair, which had a profound impact on him at the time, and later he chose to become a Spirit Investigator to strengthen his courage.

However.

Clearly, the night watchman was about to be disappointed.

Su Qi suddenly spoke, "Hold on a second, please."

From under the club's closet, he actually took out snacks and beer.

The night watchman roared, "Do you think this is storytime? And those damn snacks and beer were bought with Game Coins; how did you know they were there!"

"Here's a bottle for you."

"Thanks..." the night watchman subconsciously took it and then widened his eyes, wondering why he should thank him for something he bought.

"Do you want one?" Su Qi offered a bottle to Xu Linqiu.

Xu Linqiu: "..."

He had intended to create a serious atmosphere, but he realized he was mistaken.

He shook his head helplessly, "Nevermind."

Let's go ahead and say, after the story, this guy should understand what "Abyssal Paradise" really is; even if he is not frightened, at least he should have some respect.

Xu Linqiu took a deep breath and slowly said, "First, you have to understand that Abyssal Paradise... didn't have the last two words before; it was just a bottomless, bloody, and terrifying abyss."

"Let's start from the very first beta test."

Xu Linqiu gently began, "That was probably fifty years ago."

"People using the internet or their phones would suddenly see a pop-up message that contained only one sentence—Do you want to understand the true meaning of life?"

Su Qi's gaze shifted slightly.

This wasn't the first time he had seen this sentence; the masked figure had written these words in blood in front of the big screen at the shopping center.

"Anyone chosen would be sent into a space and then begin a cruel trial..." Xu Linqiu said calmly, "You should know that death back then was different from now... there was no revival to Personal Space after death; if you died, you were really dead, and nobody would know."

"That year the Investigation Bureau discovered a large number of disappearance cases, nearly over 80% were related to it."

"The first beta test lasted three years, and everyone who entered struggled through blood, horror, and despair; very few people were able to leave that place alive. Death and fear were the norm."

Su Qi listened silently, clinking beer bottles with the night watchman.

"...."

"The second beta test was twenty years ago... this time it was different; each selected person would be transferred directly into an instance, but afterward, they could leave and return to the real world."

"And it was for this reason that the Investigation Bureau quickly discovered something in the early stages and set up a related department to investigate, with many pioneers bravely entering the abyss."

Xu Linqiu paused and then added, "Actually, if you

"I have an extremely precious spot available that allows entry into a certain instance, targeted exclusively at new players below level 20."

"If you enter that instance, whether or not you succeed in the end, as long as you don't die, there are generous rewards."

"But at the same time, the opponents are very powerful, including super rookies from clubs under the major forces, plus a whole bunch of Cultists eyeing it covetously... they will all make a move to snatch it."

Xu Linqiu's tone was icy,

"Do you dare to accept it."
