Infinite Nerves [Infinity]

"With a high probability, Zhao Han is the hidden exile. I accidentally triggered the condition last night, but there happened to be a prop that can top it. In this case, we are too passive, and it is difficult to use the dungeon mechanism to get rid of her."

Jiang Chen said while pressing down on the handle of the bathroom door, but hesitantly did not push it open.

Qianwu walked from behind him, "Do you have any other guesses?"

Jiang Chen lowered his voice again, "Based on logic, it's gone. But I always feel a little weird, and I caught Zhao Han very smoothly." It seemed to be unraveling a carefully prepared veil inch by inch.

Jiang Chen finally pushed open the bathroom door.

As soon as Qianwu poked his head, a strong smell of blood came over his face.After a day, the blood was still mixed with a faint sour smell.He suppressed his nausea and walked two steps in. The female corpse lying on the broken crystal remained as it was in the morning.

There was a sharp pyramid-shaped crystal stuck in her thin white neck, Jiang Chen knelt down beside her, stretched out his hand to hold the pyramid, looked at the blood hole in his neck and said in a low voice, "Tell me, does it look like there is a girl The ghost knelt on her body, grabbed the crystal pyramid on the ground and thrust it into her neck?"

Qianwu shivered, speechless, "Do you dare to describe it more scary? Besides, why must it be a female ghost?"

Jiang Chen shrugged and stood up, "Maybe because this is the bathroom, I tend to think that male ghosts killing women will change to a place to avoid suspicion."

Qianwu: "..."

The pictures and smells in the bathroom are very anti-human, Qianwu can't stay any longer, "I can't see anything, can you go?"

Jiang Chen shook his head, frowning and walked around the female corpse, his eyes fixed on her face.

"Any clues, Jiang Lu?" Qianwu sighed boredly.

Jiang Chen suddenly asked, "Do you have any impression of this person?"

"What kind of impression?" Qianwu was stunned, "She hasn't spoken at all, right? I don't have any impression, do you?"

There are only four female players in total, Songsong, Egg Yolk, Zhao Han, and her.Qianwu couldn't remember her name at all, and she didn't even remember if this person had introduced herself.

Jiang Chen said: "I vaguely remember a word she said, I paid special attention to it at the time, but there was something interrupting at that time... What is it..."

He recalled it very depressingly, as painfully as when he suddenly had a pleading logic flashed by inspiration and then suddenly forgot it.

"Don't think about it, the more you force it, the more you can't remember it." Qianwu picked up a bath towel from the shelf and covered the woman's naked body, "Every day we are in the dungeon is a cyclical process, and it may be triggered later. Same scenario."

As he spoke, he took one last look at the woman's wide eyes, and reached out to help her close them.

After re-sealing the bathroom, Qianwu stood in the corridor and took several deep breaths in a row before feeling that the stench of blood had faded a bit.

Egg Yolk came down from upstairs, greeted them from a distance by the stairs, and continued to walk down.Soon, the sound of two little girls discussing cooking came from below.

"It's almost time for dinner." Qian Wu grabbed Jiang Chen's hand and glanced at the time, "I always feel that something new will happen tonight."

Jiang Chen hummed, "If the exile has already guessed the second death trigger condition, he will definitely attack immediately before everyone knows."

Before Qian Wu wanted to say anything else, Jiang Chen, who was standing opposite him, suddenly took a step aside, looking past him to the stairs, "Zhao Han."

Qianwu looked back, Zhao Han and her partner Zhizai had just come down from above.She was still in a trance, and when she heard Jiang Chen's greeting, she only nodded perfunctorily, but Zhizai smiled and waved at them.

"How is the progress of your inventory?" Zhizai smiled like a sunny college student, "Our study has been completed, do you need help?"

"You guys are so fast." Jiang Chen asked, "Did you find anything?"

Zhao Han nodded and lifted his spirits a little, "We found the same object in the painting that Qianwu said."

Qianwu was a little surprised, she took the initiative to speak, and listened to her continue.

"The paintings in the house are hard to remember, so we didn't look for them deliberately. But it's also a coincidence that there is a book under the table in the painting where Wang Kui bumped his head to death. Everyone should have the impression that it has a black hard shell and a book on the spine. A gilded vine totem, and an English abbreviation LP."

Jiang Chen raised his eyebrows, "Did you find that book?"

Zhizai nodded vigorously, "Yes! Qianwu really has you, and he guessed right. These must be related to clues."

"On the painting, only the spine of the book can be seen." Qianwu immediately asked, "What is written in the book?"

"I didn't dare to look inside. The title of the book is Handbook of Wine Brewing." Zhao Han sighed, "It happens to be related to wine. Let's discuss it with everyone later."

Qianwu nodded.

Zhao Han's initiative to share clues is a bit surprising.An exile who has figured out the execution mechanism should not hope to speed up the dungeon process, on the contrary, slowing down will create more opportunities for her to kill other players.

But Zhao Han was very frank in his speech, and the information he gave was testified by another player.

Jiang Chen obviously had the same concerns, he asked after a short pause:

"You two partners are very efficient. May I ask, did you really enter this instance alone?"

Zhizai laughed out loud when he heard the words, "Of course, thank you for the compliment."

He laughed heartlessly, but Zhao Han's eyes were obviously darkened. Qianwu observed her expression, and she said softly after a long time, "I don't know about others, but I did come in alone, the one who brought me so far The teammates are gone."

As she spoke, she seemed to lower her head involuntarily, her bangs covering her facial features again.Qianwu looked at her frizzy hair, and suddenly remembered that her talent and score were at the bottom of the eighteen, so she subconsciously asked, "To this far?"

Zhao Han didn't explain, turned around and went downstairs, talking to himself in a daze.The voice was very low, Qian Wu frowned and asked after she left, "What did she say?"

Jiang Chen looked at the stairs where the two figures disappeared, "She said, this is the first copy she made alone, and it will also be the last."

The corridor was quiet again. After a long time, Qianwu leaned against the wall and took a deep breath, "What should I do? I'm a little confused."

"Me too." Jiang Chen's tone was still calm, and he looked at the place where she disappeared without any emotion, "This person's behavior just now is completely inconsistent with the logic of the exile's behavior. It seems that we have to reorganize."

The sound of firing in the kitchen downstairs became louder, and several people came down from the third floor to help.Although the division of labor stated that only two girls should cook, and the others would focus on liquidation, but these huge and doomed useless calculation tasks were exhausting, and everyone was not very interested.

Qianwu and Jiang Chen also walked slowly towards the stairs, and Jiang Chen whispered as he walked: "It is certain that Zhao Han was the one who called last night. If she is not an exile, she obviously has a way to avoid execution, why? Do you want to cover it up?"

There are contradictions in this person both horizontally and vertically. There are only two paths to take, but both paths are blocked.

After thinking for a while, Qianwu said, "If you don't understand, just follow your intuition."

Jiang Chen couldn't help laughing when he heard the words, "You obviously have always been too lazy to think about your intuition."

After Qian Wu turned his head and stared at him, he became serious again, "Then what is Teacher Qian Wu's intuition?"

"I can't tell whether it's good or bad." Qianwu paused on the steps for a while before continuing down, "But my intuition tells me that everything she said just now was not false."

After all, lies and pretense are like a bad painting, vulnerable to the most transparent painter.Qianwu has never made any mistakes in sensing other people's emotions.

Dinner was a big pot of fried rice with eggs, and a simple fried dish with ham and lettuce.The moment Song Song put the dishes out of the pot, the bell rang again, as if to warn of this mandatory process.

Fifteen people sat together and seized the time before dinner to share clues.

"Guan Ping and I found an antique that appeared in the painting. It is a phoenix wood carving the size of a palm." Xue Gao was the first to speak, "That painting is hung on the right side of the stairs on the third floor. It is a picture of animals. There are sparrows on the left. , puppy, loach, and the right corresponds to the phoenix, wolf and snake."

Guan Ping immediately said, "We also searched around in other storage rooms, but we didn't see any other wood carvings of animals. Wolves and dogs, snakes and loaches should just be confusing options, and this clue should point to sparrows and phoenixes."

During the discussion at the dinner table, Zhao Han lowered his head and said nothing. This time, Zhizai took the initiative to repeat the clues in the wine making manual.

"The sparrow and the phoenix, the winemaking manual, and anything else?" Songsong asked.

A man said, "There is a picture on the second floor of an old cabinet. The cabinet is tilted and only one foot is standing, and the door is leaking a dark crack. Do you have any impression of that painting?"

Qian Wu nodded and said: "Yes, what's the matter?"

Guan Ping's eyes widened, "You won't find the same cabinet standing on only one foot, will you?"

"No, no." The other party quickly waved his hand, "I just looked at the painting and suddenly thought of a strange story I heard when I was a child. It means that there are many old objects that have fallen into a thick layer of dust due to long-term non-use. , They were condensed into ghosts by the neglected resentment, jumped out of the cabinet and started to attack."

The dining table fell into dead silence, and the egg yolk said coolly: "Isn't that the situation we are in now? How did you just remember?!"

The man shrugged, "I've heard at least a hundred such uninspired legends. If it weren't for seeing that painting, ghosts would be able to remember it. It's useless even if you think about it. This legend only ends here. There is no way to solve it.”

Everyone: "..."

In the silent silence, Qianwu suddenly murmured to himself: "Things become fine after a long time, and long-term neglect turns them into terrible monsters."

Guan Ping widened his eyes, "And then?"

There is no more, Qianwu felt as if something flashed in his head, but it was fleeting.He was about to ask further, when suddenly the familiar cold came from behind him again, and yesterday's decanter and wine glass reappeared.

This time there were only fifteen crystal goblets, and the red wine in the decanter looked a little less than yesterday.

"The calculation is quite accurate." Jiang Chen raised his eyebrows, "It's just enough for 15 people again today."

Guan Ping stroked his numb arms and stood up, "I'll pour the bar."

Songsong let out a long sigh under pressure, and muttered: "This wine is terrible, I dare not drink more."

"You should drink more because of your poor capacity for alcohol. Anyway, you can wake up until dawn, which is a blessing." Egg Yolk rumpled his hair violently. What, did I take off my coat when I was drunk?"

No one answered, and the players who had a slight impression of last night looked at each other, embarrassed to tell the truth.

More than just taking off the coat.

Holding the decanter, Guan Ping held it in for a long time before he could say, "If we can get out alive, I will marry you."

yolk:"???"

Guan Ping was deliberately downplaying the tension in everyone's hearts, and everyone laughed and joked a few words tacitly.Then Guan Ping started pouring wine.

This time, each glass was still poured to the mark line, and the last glass was poured, and the decanter was the same as yesterday, leaving only a thin layer of light red liquid.Qianwu turned the wine decanter upside down, but the wine was still not enough to gather into a single drop.

"Drink slowly." Jiang Chen looked at him quietly, "Calm down."

Qianwu just glanced at him boredly, staring at the decanter, and suddenly thought of something, "Did someone clean up the dishes yesterday?"

Guan Ping curled his lips, "Of course not. You floated away after drinking a drink yesterday. Everyone sees you like that. After drinking, you go back to the house at the speed of light."

Qian Wu asked, "Who cleaned up the dishes?"

Egg Yolk said, "Lao Xue and I cleaned up in the morning. The dishes and chopsticks were all dirty, but the decanter and wine glasses disappeared by themselves."

As if she knew what everyone was going to ask, she said, "This set of cups is very evil. In the morning, Lao Xue and I searched the kitchen upside down and couldn't find it. It is probably because the dungeon is worried that players will destroy the killing mechanism, so it is set to appear automatically. Disappear automatically."

Qian Wu had no choice but to nod, holding the slender stem of the goblet, staring at the decanter without speaking.

"What are you thinking?" Jiang Chen asked in a low voice.

Qianwu said, "I was wondering why there was left over, so little that it couldn't be poured out at all, but there was such a little left over for two consecutive days."

Hearing this, Guan Ping lowered his head and carefully observed the scale line on the crystal glass. He poured the wine very carefully, and every glass was almost up to the scale line.

"This has something to do with my pouring wine. It may be possible to just wait a little longer for one tenth of a second when pouring a glass, but it doesn't matter. The nerves will not take a knife for such a little precision.

"He said indifferently.

Qianwu held the wine glass to his lips, and took a deep breath.

It was that intoxicating fragrance again, Jiang Chen was right, the biggest effect of this wine is to induce hallucinations.Today seems to be a little more intense than yesterday, he only smelled it, and his eyes were in a trance, just like Jiang Chen wearing glasses yesterday.

Qian Wu suddenly closed his eyes, and pinched his thigh with his hand.

"I said, this talented man." Guan Ping swallowed, "Please calm down, don't be bored on an empty stomach."

"We found some ashes-free locks in the warehouse, and have locked the lockers in the hall, but it doesn't rule out that you can find an ax to open the door when you go crazy. There is always a way to make people go crazy if the nerves want to go crazy." Xue Gao seriously warned , "I sincerely suggest that everyone eat first, drink up quickly after filling their stomachs and go upstairs. Are the ropes ready? Tie one hand to the head of the bed while you are conscious."

Someone couldn't help asking, "What if the two get up and help each other untie?"

Xue Gao was speechless, "Can't you tie each other away?"

"Anyway, you won't get drunk. Can you stop someone from going downstairs when they see someone going crazy?"

Xue Gao nodded, "This is fine. I didn't know the situation last night, so I didn't dare to move. I will try my best today."

Jiang Chen put one hand on Qianwu's lap, and gently stroked his own crystal goblet with the other.

Everyone has started eating fried rice, discussing how to rush into the room and lock the door in the shortest time while eating.Jiang Chen touched the goblet and said in a low voice, "This crystal is very good, and the craftsmanship and design are also very advanced. Although there are many works of art with high premiums in the house, if this set of cups participates in the valuation, it must be in the house. The most expensive thing."

Qian Wu heard the words and looked at him sideways, "Crystal is not a very expensive material."

"The crystals I've seen are really not counted, but I've never seen such a fineness. At least, I'm personally willing to pay a higher price than all the others." Jiang Chen couldn't help but sighed, still playing with the crystal unconsciously. cup.

He has never had self-control over things with fragile and transparent aesthetics.

Qianwu was speechless to the rich man, curled his lips, picked up a spoonful of fried rice and put it into his mouth.

Diagonally opposite the egg yolk, she had already finished the big bowl that belonged to her. The little girl was holding the crystal cup with both hands, looking stressed.

"If I had known that I could survive if I had a poor capacity for alcohol, I wouldn't go out every day when I was out of my nerves." She couldn't help but let out a wow as she spoke, leaning her head on her loose shoulder and crying.

Song Song coaxed her a little helplessly, "It's okay, you didn't make any mistakes last night, and you won't do anything today."

"But this wine smells even better than yesterday." Egg Yolk trembled in fright, "I'm fucking out of thousands of cups, but I got a neurotic waste."

Songsong couldn't help asking, "A thousand cups won't pour...? What do you drink outside?"

"I can drink eight-degree juice wine until I go to the toilet all night without getting drunk!" Egg Yolk cried even harder.

"..." It's good that a thousand cups can't be poured.

Qianwu thought to himself, no wonder others can still think of her heroic running naked last night, but she ran naked all night continuously.

Song Song sighed softly, "This wine seems to be more fragrant than yesterday...how about you drink less."

Qian Wu lowered his head to chew, but Jiang Chen's movement of rubbing the goblet suddenly stopped in his corner of the eye.

The next second, Qianwu's movements also froze, he put down the spoon calmly, and looked at the two girls who were leaning against each other.

Jiang Chen spread his fingers under the table and wrote a word on the palm of his hand.

bath.

When he drank that glass of wine in the restaurant yesterday, he seemed to be floating in the clouds.But the hallucinogenic effect was not continuous at first, he was sometimes sober and sometimes confused, and vaguely remembered that after drinking, the big guys were so frightened when they saw him, and a girl with a ponytail whispered, "You must drink, But it doesn’t have to be finished, can I just take a sip?”

At that time, no one responded. After all, everyone looked at Qianwu in horror, so no one could care about her.

This is the sentence that Jiang Chen was paying attention to at the time, but was interrupted by Qian Wu's drunken hook on the shoulder and forgot.

Qianwu's heart was beating wildly, but his face was still calm.He seemed to glance at Songsong casually, and then glanced at Zhao Han when he looked away.

The three girls are sitting together.It's just that Zhao Han has a gloomy personality, and he obviously didn't become friends like the other two girls.She was eating fried rice slowly, but when she heard the egg yolk said yes, she suddenly said in a low voice: "There are scales."

Qian Wu subconsciously straightened his back, and then Jiang Chen raised his hand to hook the back of his chair lazily, and he relaxed again.

Song Song looked up at Zhao Han with a smile, "What did you say?"

She smiled softly, too softly.

Zhao Han finally raised his head, glanced at her, then immediately avoided his gaze, and continued to scoop up rice while whispering, "I'm talking nonsense. I just think that since the dungeon has specially set the scale line, you have to drink enough. Otherwise, there will be other punishments."

The author has something to say: Nervously sighed: Coincidentally, I also have no self-control for fragile and transparent things.

The floor said without emotion, why, do you want to change the crystal floor?
