As Shen Mirage said, the abyss is darkness.
Its darkness is different from the darkness in reality when the lights are turned off. The darkness here is sticky, like a flowing swamp, without a trace of light, obviously without any smell, but it makes people feel suffocated.
Coming here is a momentary effort, just like entering the dungeon, Xiao Li felt that he was standing on the ground in the blink of an eye, but he couldn't see what he was stepping on.
He looked around, left and right, then turned around and asked the young man, "Where is the pollution?"
"In the dark, it's everywhere, but because I'm here, you can't see it." Shen Mizhi hugged him all the time, just like a parent who is afraid of a lost child, her chin resting on his shoulder, sticky tight, "I'll take you to look deeper."
He let go of his embrace and led Xiao Li forward.
There is no other scenery in the depths of the abyss. Going inside, it is still dark. The only difference is the speed of the dark flow, which is more active.
It's an indescribable feeling, and staying in this kind of place for a long time can easily suffocate.
The abyss was not big, so Shen Mizhi took him around, and it took him less than ten minutes to take Xiao Li to sit down where he usually sat.
There is nothing to see here, everything is what Shen Mizhi is all too familiar with, but with his lover as his company, this time he has become more satisfying than any resort.
He stretched out a hand and whispered: "Any trace of darkness here, flowing out, can easily pollute a god."
"What will happen after being contaminated?" Xiao Li asked.
Shen Mizhi: "First go crazy and then die. At the same time, its death will pollute more of the world."
"Earlier, the order of the dungeons was not formed. I had to stay here and couldn't go out for a minute. Now, the power of the gods has been strengthened by the dungeons, and if it is fed back, I have more free time. Now I will be back in a month. Half a day is enough to suppress them."
Xiao Li listened to him, and when he heard this, he suddenly reached out and patted the young man's back.
He only stayed here for a while and felt a little uncomfortable, but Shen Mizhi was guarding here every day and every night, and it was no different from being in prison. After I was able to get out of here, I went out to buy a late-night snack for him, or just wanted to take a look at him and stand downstairs in his house.
At that moment, it seemed that some emotion was burning along the blood.
Xiao Li grabbed the young man's arm, he pushed Shen Mizhi to the ground, his voice seemed to suppress some emotion: "I have something strange."
Xiao Li used so much strength that Shen Mizhi directly hit the ground, but his brows didn't move at all, he just asked him, "What?"
Xiao Li's fingertips swept across the youth's first button and untied it, with a blood-sucking slowness: "When I first entered the dungeon, you replaced my quest book, right? I said the first sentence, and I didn't know you at that time."
"So, why do you... like me?"
Shen Mizhi didn't seem to expect Xiao Li to ask this, he looked at the other party for a long time, and suddenly reached out and pinched his chin.
"Maybe you don't remember," Shen Mizhi said slowly, as if recalling the past, "but we met a long time ago."
Xiao Li stopped moving: "When?"
He recalled carefully, a long time ago, he and Shen Mizhi didn't have any intersection.
Shen Mizhi lay back, his light-colored pupils were deep and almost black in the abyss, and he said softly, "That was when I could only come out for half a day a year. A long time ago, you lived with your mother."
- That was really a long time ago.
Although Shen Mizhi is powerful, he does not go out of the abyss on weekdays. The rest of the gods are afraid of him respecting him and have nothing to do with him, and he does not want to have anything to do with them.
After realizing that he could come out for a short time, Shen Mizhi would choose to watch the scenery somewhere in the main universe where the gods gathered, and spend the whole day in silence. Later, he wanted to go outside and finally went to reality.
He didn't want to change anything, like a bystander, walking from where he landed.
That day, Shen Mizhi happened to pass through a certain community. There were many people in the community. The sunset at dusk dyed the world pale, like his eyes.
At first, Shen Mizhi was just passing by.
At the gate of the community, a beautiful little boy was walking outside, followed by a little fat man who was also tugging at the corner of his clothes, as if he wanted to play with him.
The boy in front showed impatience with a cold demeanor, and said "I still have something to do" several times, but the little chubby guy in the back kept pestering him, mumbling: "Auntie said I can play with you, you Can something happen?"
The boy was impatient with the entanglement, and pointed at Shen Mizhi: "I have something to do with him."
Shen Mizhi stopped and glanced at him.
The boy tugged at his sleeve, winked at him, and dragged him away, not afraid of life.
Shen Mizhi didn't stop him, the other party took out his pocket money and asked him to eat a popsicle at the cold drink shop on the street.
At first, he was just curious about things like humans, but he left the stick and returned to the abyss.
Later, when he came out the next year, Shen Mizhi thought about where to go for a moment. Although he lived a long time, he had no interest in it, so he decided to go see the little boy who invited him to eat popsicles.
The other party didn't recognize him in the crowd, so he just glanced at it from a distance.
Year by year.
He was able to come out more and more time, and also spent more time on "observing" Xiao Li.
He saw the grown-up teenager squatting down to feed the stray cat after school; saw the other side's face explaining the question when asked by his classmates; saw the other side leave a meal for the stray aunt in the restaurant; looked at the other side Cover your mother with a quilt after she falls asleep.
This is a very mysterious feeling.
Shen Mizhi's feelings were accumulating day by day, but the other party never found him, or in other words, he never knew him, but the gentleness under his cool appearance hindered Shen Mizhi's footsteps and made him choose As long as I have free time, I want to stay by each other's side all the time.
This has been going on for a long time.
Later, one day, a girl invited Xiao Li to the garden behind the school.
Shen Mizhi happened to be there at the time, he hid his figure and followed.
He saw the girl blushing and approaching Xiao Li.
For some reason, his heart began to feel extremely uncomfortable, and he hoped that Xiao Li would push that person away directly.
But Xiao Li didn't. He just watched the girl's next movements indifferently. She held a letter, drew a heart on the letter shell, and handed it to the boy with a blushing face.
Shen Mizhi's long-term feelings collapsed at this moment, the seeds took root and sprout in the heart, with the heart as the core, along with every blood flow, it was conveyed to the limbs, becoming a towering tree.
He even wanted to kill the girl.
It was not until Xiao Li rejected her mercilessly, saying that he had no plans to fall in love in a short time, that he could breathe again.
It was at this moment that he understood what he wanted: he wanted the other person.
Later, the Styx completely poured out, reality was pulled into the copy, and Shen Mizhi had relative freedom.
He almost couldn't wait to replace Xiao Li's original mission book, he entered the other party's life and became his deskmate.
After Xiao Li listened to Shen Mizhi's words, he fell into a strange silence.
Shen Mizhi: "What?"
Xiao Li said honestly, "I think you are a little perverted."
He was half-lying on the other side at the moment, because of this posture, Shen Mizhi could feel any of his movements, and naturally he should also be able to perceive that Xiao Li was actually laughing.
But maybe because he cared too much about the other party, Shen Mizhi didn't notice the smile in his words.
The young man silently stretched out his hand around his waist: "I am."
I am such a pervert, I want everything from you, your love, your attention, your tenderness.
"But don't leave me." Shen Mizhi continued, his hands were shaking so hard, he pulled down Xiao Li's upper body, and buried his face in his neck in this posture, "I love you."
But I am willing to be a "normal person" for you.
Xiao Li felt something was wrong with him, raised his head and reached out to touch his face: "... I know."
"I already guessed that you were a pervert, and I knew it when you were a mission book."
Xiao Li held down Shen Mizhi's hand, held it in the palm of his hand, and then cupped his face: "But you also have to understand one thing."
"What?" Shen Mizhi asked in a low voice as he leaned too close, his red lips close at hand.
Xiao Li looked into his eyes, he softened his tone, and said almost gently: "I hope you know that since I promised you, it means that I love you, you don't have to hold me like this, I will stay at your side."
In the darkness, Shen Mizhi's eyes lit up like stars.
The young man covered Xiao Li's hand in this posture, and said in a hoarse voice, "Say it again."
"What?" Xiao Li was slightly startled.
Shen Mizhi's voice was very low, as if it was engulfed by darkness. Xiao Li couldn't hear it if he didn't listen carefully: "Just say what I said just now."
"...I love you." Xiao Li said, "You don't have to worry about gains and losses like this."
Shen Mirage's Adam's apple rolled: "Say it again."
If Xiao Li didn't do anything, with Shen Mizhi's current state, he might be able to repeat it a hundred times.
Xiao Li didn't repeat it. He gently kissed the other's lips and pressed down. Shen Mizhi deepened the kiss.
You catch me under the boundless cliff, and I can accompany you to the abyss.
…
…
"Since you don't like me calling you baby, then I can call you 'brother' at this time." Shen Mizhi looked at him.
Xiao Li wanted to hit him a little bit.
Darkness magnifies the senses, and now is simply not the time to discuss salutation.
Shen Mizhi: "It's better for you to call me, darling, call me and I'll stop."
Xiao Li: "..."
"… "
"… elder brother."
