thefictionvixens Chapter 122 New Dungeon: Abyss Prison
Chapter 122 New Dungeon: Abyss Prison
In the empty corridors and stairwells, only Amy's echo could be heard.
"Auntie, have you seen that orange cat?" She stopped the cleaning lady, her voice slightly trembling with fear.
All that responded to her was a numb, empty face and a slow head shake.
Amy didn't dare stop. She rushed out of the School of Social Sciences building and ran immediately to the abandoned garden where Lin Feng had found the orange cat.
She parted the knee-high weeds and searched every possible hiding place, but still couldn't find that life-saving orange figure.
Time flew by in the desperate search, and half an hour passed in the blink of an eye.
The initial, slow writhing of her shadow gradually became violent and frenzied.
It began to no longer follow the outline of Amy's original body, but instead expanded like a pool of viscous, living black asphalt, with irregular, tentacle-like black shadows extending from its edges, trying to wrap around her ankles.
Amy felt a bone-chilling cold shoot from the soles of her feet to the top of her head, and her control over her body was being gradually stripped away.
She wanted to scream, but only a weak "hoarse" sound came out of her throat.
The shadowy figure, like a tangible rope, tightened its grip, pulling her violently to the ground.
In the final moments before her consciousness was completely swallowed by darkness, she used her last ounce of strength to turn her head towards the northeast of the abandoned garden—
Right there, separated by a clump of neglected bushes, the orange cat she had been searching for was nestled in the shade of a willow tree with a black and white cat.
The orange cat was focused, gently and carefully licking the soft fur on its partner's head.
The black and white cat half-closed its eyes contentedly, purring loudly and satisfied, and occasionally nuzzled the orange cat's neck affectionately, creating a sweet and peaceful scene.
"Help...me..." Amy screamed with her last breath.
The orange cat looked up at the sound, its golden pupils glancing at her indifferently before lowering its head again to continue grooming the black and white cat, as if nothing had happened.
The next second, the shadow completely engulfed Amy.
Her body dissolved and collapsed in the darkness, eventually turning into a pool of writhing black paste.
Soon, two figures in uniforms appeared.
They skillfully collected the black substance, and one of them, taking advantage of his companion's inattention, secretly dipped a little into it and put it in his mouth, a look of ecstasy immediately appearing on his face.
A chilling announcement of ghost stories rang out:
[Amy, the chosen one from Maple Leaf Country, is eliminated]
[Punishment has taken effect:]
A seemingly endless convoy of ghost trucks will appear on the main streets of the country's capital.
The convoy will continue to honk its horns; the sound is penetrating, ignoring all soundproofing measures, and cannot be cleared or interrupted.
The live stream chat was flooded with comments:
"Oh no! The main thoroughfare has become an open-air parking lot!"
"Brain-piercing noise 24/7, who can stand it? Let's move the capital!"
"Ghost trucks + endless traffic jams, this city's functions are completely rendered useless."
"Will we have to take a boat to work from now on? Traffic will be completely paralyzed!"
"It's so noisy even through the screen, how are the people in the capital doing?"
"This punishment is too harsh; it's like a political heart attack!"
"Move the capital! We must move the capital! We can't stay here any longer!"
"An endless fleet of cars plus horns that can physically penetrate walls—it's like double hell."
"The city's functions are obsolete; a collective relocation is recommended."
"This isn't just a traffic jam; it's putting a permanent shackle on the capital!"
........................
One week later.
Tranquility Quadrant, Lin Feng's residence.
Lin Feng was half-reclining on the huge sofa in the living room, his head resting on Xia Ning's soft thighs, enjoying her gentle massage of his temples.
Su Wan curled up on the other side, carefully feeding him peeled crystal grapes with a fruit fork, and occasionally wiping his mouth with a tissue.
Twelve days have passed since I left the Ghost Story instance.
"Honey, the baby is kicking me again." Xia Ning took his hand and placed it on her pregnant belly, her face radiant with maternal love.
Lin Feng felt the powerful fetal movements in his palm, and his heart softened.
"Honey, who do you think our child will resemble more?" Su Wan leaned closer, resting her head on his shoulder, and asked softly.
With women on either side of him, Lin Feng felt that life couldn't be more perfect than this.
Just as he was about to say something tender, a sudden surge of emotion from the depths of his soul overwhelmed him!
Almost simultaneously, a cold, emotionless, and grand announcement boomed overhead like a thunderclap:
[WARNING: The new dungeon "Abyss Prison" from the Rules of the Strange is ready.]
[The chosen one is locked in...]
[The Chosen One of the Dragon Kingdom: Lin Feng, Forced Conscription!]
[Countdown: 59 seconds...]
"They're finally here!" Lin Feng's expression changed, and he sat up abruptly.
The smiles on Xia Ning and Su Wan's faces froze instantly, replaced by undisguised worry.
"How could it be so fast..." Xia Ning's voice was choked with sobs as she tightly gripped Lin Feng's arm.
Su Wan's eyes also instantly reddened, but she held back, only tightly hugging Lin Feng's other arm:
"Be very careful!"
The countdown, like the footsteps of death, pounded against my heart second by second.
Lin Feng took a deep breath, suppressed all his emotions, and forcefully embraced his two lovers, planting a heavy kiss on each of their smooth foreheads.
"Don't worry, I'll be fine. Wait for me to come back. Take good care of yourself and the baby."
As soon as he finished speaking, the countdown reached zero.
A blinding white beam of light suddenly pierced through the ceiling and precisely enveloped Lin Feng.
A powerful suction force came, and Lin Feng felt dizzy. The last thing he saw was Xia Ning and Su Wan's worried faces.
........................
The feeling of traversing the void is brief and chaotic.
When Lin Feng's vision cleared again, he found himself standing in a... room.
This is a space of about twenty square meters, simply furnished.
The walls were grayish-white, and a surveillance camera hung in the corner of the ceiling, with a faint red indicator light flashing.
The air was thick with a stuffy smell, a mixture of disinfectant, old leather, and a faint odor of sweat.
There are four bunk beds, made of gray iron and placed against the walls on both sides of the room.
The bed was covered with uniform gray sheets, and the blankets were folded into neat, square blocks, exuding an undeniable military rigidity.
At the foot of each of the two sets of beds, two old desks and wooden chairs were placed opposite each other.
In one corner of the room stood four heavy metal storage cabinets.
A standard four-person dormitory layout.
On the desk, several dark blue booklets were neatly arranged, titled "Code of Conduct for Prison Guards of Abyss Prison" and "Regulations for Prisoner Management".
There were four sets of dark gray uniforms hanging on the wall, with empty epaulettes.
Is this... the prison guards' dormitory?
