After a brief spell of dizziness, what appeared before them was an empty room.
To call it a room, it was actually more like a square box.
The floor, the walls all around, and even the ceiling were inlaid with some unknown gemstones, emitting a soft white glow.
Strangely, this room had no doors or windows, only a rhombus-shaped aperture in each of the four walls.
At this moment, all four apertures were closed, yet the room did not feel stifling.
On the contrary, the spiritual energy was surprisingly abundant.
Moreover, it wasn’t just Xue An and An Yan in the room; there were over a dozen people lying scattered on the floor.
The clothing of these people was varied, both men and women, but all without exception were in a deep sleep.
Xue An could notice that the eyelids of a few people began to twitch slightly, evidently about to awaken.
Just then, an old and weary voice came from behind.
"Oh, you two didn’t faint upon entering here?"
Xue An was slightly startled, because from the moment he stepped through that door, he had heightened his perception to the maximum, to guard against any unknown danger.
Even upon entering this room, he hadn’t detected anything unusual.
This was why he wasn’t in a rush to examine the surrounding environment, as his eyes might deceive him, but his Divine Sense would not.
Unexpectedly, a voice came from behind him. Could it be that this person’s ability to hide their presence was beyond his discernment?
In a flash of thought, Xue An turned abruptly, and saw an emaciated old man in ragged clothes standing in the corner.
The old man’s eyes had long gone blind, leaving nothing but two hollow sockets, making one feel a chill up the spine.
The old man seemed to sense Xue An’s gaze and slightly smiled, "No need to worry, I am to a large extent already dead, so it’s normal for you not to sense my presence!"
Indeed.
Xue An didn’t sense the slightest hint of life from this old man; if he closed his eyes and relied purely on Divine Sense, this would indeed appear to be a corpse.
Yet now, this supposed corpse was speaking.
Xue An’s eyebrows raised slightly.
Interesting!
Who would have thought the first person he’d meet upon entering the Abyss would be so intriguing!
Although the old man had no eyes, it was as if he could perceive the expression on Xue An’s face by some means.
"Aren’t you planning to ask anything?"
"Ask what?" Xue An said coolly.
"For instance, what place is this?"
Xue An shook his head, "No need! Since we’re already here, what’s the point in asking where it is?"
This time it was the old man’s turn to be a bit surprised. Even though he couldn’t see, he still tried hard to look in Xue An’s direction.
"Truly an odd newcomer! I haven’t seen such an interesting young person like you in a long time, really hope you can live a bit longer!"
Xue An slightly furrowed his brow, the old man was speaking in riddles!
"What do you mean? Are you suggesting that everyone who has come here before has died?"
The old man grinned, revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth, and chuckled harshly.
"Smart young fellow, yes, indeed all have died! The one who lived the longest only lasted over a century before going mad and strangling himself to death!"
"What about you?" An Yan finally mustered her courage and couldn’t help but ask.
