The next morning, Lin Huang checked out of the hotel after breakfast and went straight to the portal to the Abyss Brink.
The portal to the Abyss Brink was in a different location from the regular foothold portal. The two were hundreds of kilometers apart. Just like the cross-border dimensional portal, it was managed and maintained by a separate team.
The portal would only open once every morning at nine o 'clock. If he missed it, he would have to buy a new ticket and wait for the next day.
When Lin Huang arrived at the portal, there were already thirty to forty people there.
Most of them were eating breakfast or drinking coffee at the storefront near the portal. There were also a few who were browsing the news and social media sites on the benches.
Lin Huang walked into the cafe and ordered a cup of black coffee. He found a seat and browsed the news.
The waiter served his coffee in no time. Lin Huang drank his coffee while waiting patiently for the portal to open.
Just as Lin Huang was about to finish his cup of coffee, a young woman in her early twenties walked toward the cafe.
The woman's gaze fell on Lin Huang and the corners of her lips curled up slightly. She walked past the open-air table where Lin Huang was sitting and went straight into the cafe. After ordering a cup of coffee, she turned around and walked toward Lin Huang's table.
"Hello, is there anyone here?" The woman stood across the table and asked.
"No." Lin Huang had been staring at the news page and responded without looking up.
The woman frowned when she realized that Lin Huang did not even look at her.
After a moment of silence, the woman suddenly said, "Hey, aren't you the man who went on a date with Yao Huanhuan?"
Lin Huang looked up at the woman and his eyes lit up. The woman looked in her early twenties and was about 1.7 meters tall. She had a pair of long legs and a good figure. Erm … just that her chest was a little small.
"You've got the wrong person." Lin Huang looked away after a cursory glance.
"How can I get the wrong person? You look exactly like the man in the photo!" The woman said and projected the photo from the news.
"The man in this photo only has a side face. I admit that his side face does look a little like mine, but if you really compare him with me, you'll find that his face is definitely not as handsome as mine." Lin Huang made up a story. "After the news about this man came out the night before yesterday, someone did the same as you yesterday and mistook me for him, which caused me a lot of trouble. So, I'll tell you again clearly that the man in the news is not me. It's just a side face that looks a little like mine. "
The lady was stunned as if she did not expect Lin Huang to deny it. There was even a moment when she thought that she had gotten the wrong person. However, she soon snapped back to her senses. "It's you. Don't try to deny it!"
"Lady, you must have mistaken me for someone else. Can't you see that my clothes are different from his?" Lin Huang refused to admit it.
"Different clothes?" The woman was stunned again. She looked at Lin Huang and then looked at the photo. After a while, she suddenly reacted again and yelled at Lin Huang, "Clothes can be changed! Do you think I'm a three-year-old child who can be easily fooled?! "
"I've already said that I'm not the man in the news. What do you want from me?" Lin Huang spread his hands and said.
"Whether you admit it or not, you are," the woman said firmly.
"Whether you believe it or not, I'm not." Lin Huang looked as if he was not going to admit it.
At that moment, the woman's coffee was finally served, and she finally calmed down a little.
Lin Huang's gaze returned to the news page in front of him.
After sitting down and taking a sip of the hot coffee, the woman spoke again, "What's your relationship with Yao Huanhuan?"
"It doesn't matter. I don't know her," Lin Huang replied without looking up.
"Okay, maybe I really got the wrong person." The woman finally relented.
"I told you long ago, but you didn't believe me. There's nothing I can do." Lin Huang's gaze was still on the news page.
"You said you don't know Yao Huanhuan, so you're not from Ba Huang City? She's the little princess of Ba Huang City. Everyone in the foothold should know her. Even if you haven't seen her before, at least you'll be familiar with her name. "The woman tried to beat around the bush.
"Yes, I'm not." Lin Huang's answer was as straightforward as ever.
"Then why did you come to Ba Huang City?" The woman asked again.
Lin Huang frowned slightly. If the woman recognized him from the news, then the topic of their conversation would not be about Yao Huanhuan. After all, Yao Huanhuan was the real focus of everyone's attention. He just happened to be in the spotlight.
However, the woman changed the topic from Yao Huanhuan to him. This made him a little cautious. He simply replied, "I'm just passing by."
"Then where did you come from?"
"Why don't you take a guess?" Lin Huang lifted his head and glared at the woman. He was trying to figure out if the woman had investigated him before.
"I can't guess. It's fine if you don't want to tell me." The woman did not fall for his trick. She changed the topic. "Can you tell me why you're going to the Abyss Brink?"
"To kill Life Fire monsters." Lin Huang did not hide the truth.
"Me too. My name's Lan Yao. Let's form a team." Yao Lan gave him a fake name and requested to form a team.
"No." Lin Huang rejected her without hesitation.
"Why not? It'll be safer if there's two of us. "
"I'm used to working alone." Lin Huang gave such a reason.
"You're not embarrassed to see me working alone? What if something happens? "Yao Lan pretended to be pitiful.
"Then don't go. You can ask a few friends to come with you. There's no difference if you go earlier or later to kill Life Fire monsters. "
What Lin Huang said made sense and Yao Lan was speechless.
"Why are you like this?" She did not expect to be defeated so many times by this guy.
"Lady, I'll be honest with you. We're not going the same way. I'm going to the second layer of the Abyss Brink. " To Lin Huang, Yao Lan's combat strength was on crimson flame-level. To prevent her from pestering him further, he told her the truth.
"You're going to the second layer?!" Yao Lan was shocked. She could tell that Lin Huang was not lying. However, even with her immortal-level rank-3 combat strength, she did not dare to simply go to the second layer of the Abyss Brink. Lin Huang was only a crimson flame-level, but he had the guts to go to the second layer. To her, he was digging his own grave. "You're only a crimson flame-level, and you're going to the second layer of the Abyss Brink? Are you trying to kill yourself? "
"There's nothing I can do. The Life Fire monster that I'm going to kill is on the second layer. I'll leave as soon as I kill it." Lin Huang shrugged.
"Do you think that the Abyss Brink is a place that you can enter and leave whenever you want?" To Yao Lan, Lin Huang was being arrogant. "Forget it. I won't stop you if you're looking for death. Have fun on the second layer! "
Yao Lan then stood up and left. She did not want to talk to Lin Huang anymore. To her, as soon as Lin Huang entered the second layer, he would not be able to leave alive. There was no need for her to waste her time on a dead man.
