  Chapter 297 Into the Abyss

  Sima Xiaoer cheered up, "Find the trigger point of the dungeon."

   "Since we can't escape, we have to fight the dungeon to the end. I don't believe so many of us can't wear a dungeon!"

  Xu Huo nodded, "This is a good way. You tell your companions not to think about it. If you have nothing to do, look for it in the hospital. Maybe the entry point of the copy is right in front of you."

  Sima Xiaoer laughed, "Brother Xu, you are amazing. I was almost dumbfounded when I first came in. I have never heard of a precedent of being unable to start the game after entering the dungeon."

  Xu Huo patted him on the shoulder, got up and went back to the hospital building, to chat with Tang Guangbo.

  After the two sat down, Tang Guangbo first adjusted his glasses, drank water, and smoothed the corners of the medical record, "You are in a good mood today."

   "The sun is good today, I feel like I haven't been exposed to the sun for a long time." Xu Huo said.

   "It's a good thing to notice the beauty in life." Tang Guangbo said: "The main reason why people suffer is that they focus on those things that make them suffer, and turn a blind eye to the beauty in front of them."

  “If life is a progress bar, if the length of the pain increases, the happiness will naturally decrease. On the contrary, if the length of the happiness is longer, the pain will decrease.”

   "I don't agree with this point of view." Xu Huodao: "Pain and happiness are not length, but depth. Whichever is deeper will last longer."

  Tang Guangbo's face was gentle, "It depends on one's own thoughts. It might be a way to take pain lightly."

  “Most people don’t analyze and think deeply about happiness, so happiness is superficial, while pain is a passive experience from which people can learn lessons and think more.”

   "However, I think that for most people, there is no need to think so much. A person is like a bucket. As long as one plank is decisive, no matter how tall the other planks are, you can only watch the water in the bucket flow out in vain."

  “Those who can notice this kind of waste and mend the bucket can control both the mind and the body. Those who notice the waste but can’t mend the bucket can only control the mind but not the body.”

   "A person's thinking is infinitely high, but a person's intelligence, ability, and educational environment are limited. The collision between the two is actually the source of most people's pain."

   "So if the latter cannot be changed, the former can be changed."

   "Give up thinking?" Xu Huofa asked.

"Of course I don't mean that." Tang Guangbo laughed, "Even people who don't notice the water flowing out of their buckets have their own thoughts, but they haven't broken the barriers of thinking, so they don't have so much to think about. , but happier."

   "Sometimes thinking too much doesn't necessarily make you happy. It's also a good way to find happiness in the secular world. It's also helpful for your illness. It's also good to look at the sun and flowers."

   After speaking, he took out a key from his pocket and handed it to Xu Huo, and pointed to a small door on the side of the office, "Open the door and have a look."

  Xu Huo opened it according to his words, and looked up at his prompt. A two-meter-high step connected the exit. Standing in his position, he could see the sun, hear laughter, and someone called his name.

   "Just go out." Tang Guangbo reminded him behind his back.

   "What's below?" Xu Huo lowered his head, and the flat ground in front of his feet sank suddenly, and black steps formed one by one, bending and rotating and extending underground, all the way to the depths of darkness.

Everything around him peeled off like a piece of paper. The upstairs exit, the office, and Tang Guangbo behind him all disappeared, replaced by pure black, and the space under his feet expanded rapidly. Ten times, it becomes a huge abyss mouth leading to the depths of the ground.

  Xu Huo didn't hesitate much, and walked down the uneven stone steps.

  There are no guardrails on the edge of the steps, and there is only darkness when looking at it. There is no sound or airflow at all, and the dead silence seems to be a place where even the air does not set foot.

  After walking for about five minutes, I couldn’t see the steps above when I looked up. At this time, there is not much difference between the upper and lower steps, only the steps under my feet are the clearest.

   Gradually, there was the sound of soles rubbing against the stone surface.

   Followed by long breathing and slow heartbeat.

  Ten minutes later, Xu Huo felt the strength in his legs returned, and when he was about to continue walking down, he heard another footstep.

   Came from behind.

  He looked back, and saw a shadow standing on the edge of the steps, looking down in the same manner.

  Xu Huo couldn't see the other person's face, so he looked away and continued walking, and the footsteps behind him followed.

  The sound of footsteps, each step almost overlapping, remained at the same pace for ten minutes, and then there was a third sound of footsteps.

  Xu Huo walked to the edge of the steps and looked up, and the figure above him also looked up—on the stairs with three circles apart, the third person was looking down.

  The movement frequency of the three people is the same, so when Xu Huo returned to the original road and continued down, the other two footsteps followed closely behind.

  At this time, Xu Huo's breathing and heartbeat disappeared from his ears again, and only the overlapping footsteps remained on the huge spiral staircase.

   However, this balance did not last long, and a fourth person appeared on the stairs, the person standing at the top.

  The person on top looked down like the two people in front, and when he found the person below, he suddenly accelerated and ran down.

   After he started running, the third person below also started to run down, and then the second person accelerated.

  Hearing the footsteps of the three people behind gradually overlapping, Xu Huo ran along the steps with his right hand on the wall.

The four of them seemed to be racing on a spiral ladder, running round and round to the depths of the abyss. After a while, the footsteps of the four were reduced to three, and the three were reduced to two. The shadow following Xu Huo followed closely for the longest time, but finally disappeared.

  After they disappeared, Xu Huo slowed down, adjusted his breathing, and continued walking on the steps.

   This process didn't last long, and soon new figures appeared behind, and then the second, third, and four people began to race again, and finally there were three or two left, and Xu Huo walked alone.

The same thing was repeated ten times. It has been 12 hours since Xu Huo went down this spiral staircase, and he can't feel anything around him at all. Even his own body seems to be weakened. When you lower your feet, you can only touch the stone steps under your feet.

  The stone steps became smooth.

When Xu Huo suddenly realized this, a floor was gradually built up in front of the spiral staircase, and the light began to enlarge from his feet. A huge room spread out with the light, and after passing through the spiral staircase, it rose rapidly. It is stretched for hundreds of meters, extending to the end of the field of vision, forming a giant underground round tower!
