From the conversation, Chu Xiu learned that while he was in the Abyss, these parents would gather together to share the latest news. They even had a dedicated group. If any parent's child returned first, they would immediately become the center of attention, and every parent would eagerly rush to ask for information.
Chu's father and mother got acquainted with the woman because her son, like Chu Xiu, was in a support profession at the rear.
The boy died in this disaster.
Chu's father and mother spoke words of comfort, but that mother seemed distracted. She glimpsed Chu Xiu standing behind Chu's father, glanced quickly away, and her expression darkened further. Chu's father and mother exchanged a glance, dared not say more, and hurriedly took their leave.
The entire morning passed in such a stifling atmosphere. Every time Chu's mother finished a conversation, she would advise Chu Xiu not to enter the Abyss again and to find a stable factory job instead.
