Infinite Nerves [Infinity]

After being in the nerve for so long, Qianwu finally felt the taste of insomnia again.

Jiang Chen was taken aback by his two dark circles when he got up early.

"Don't you just get rejected by the BOSS once? It's not enough." Jiang Chen couldn't help but rub his back, "This BOSS is a bit weird, you can't blame yourself. It's so uncomfortable not to be able to sleep."

Peng Peng poked his head out of the bathroom with a foamy mouth, and said vaguely: "The top student finally failed once. The experience is extraordinary, right?"

Zhong Liye gave him a pat from behind, "Brush your teeth."

"I don't mind this." Qianwu sighed wearily, paused and said helplessly: "Well, I do mind a little bit that it dislikes me, but I can't sleep because there are many things I can't understand."

Jiang Chen put down the pen and paper he just took out, "What's the matter?"

In fact, there is no specific thing, just a lot of subtle violations.

For example, that guy was able to communicate frankly with Jiang Chen, but he avoided explaining what the "dreams" of those who killed his friends were, where his friends went now, and he didn't explain the meaning of his own existence in the castle.

For another example, it keeps saying that it likes him, but when it sees him when it is bored in the corridor and expects someone to chat with it, it dislikes him very much.

"Where's Qu Ying?" With a headache, Qianwu gave up thinking.

Peng Peng gulped and rinsed his mouth inside, spit out the water and said, "She went to the girl's room to borrow the bathroom. You can take a bath, a hot bath will make you less drowsy."

Qian Wu hummed, got out of bed and walked into the bathroom.The inside was too narrow, and when he went in, Peng Peng had to lean sideways when he came out.

"Oh, I've hung that mirror back on the wall." Peng Peng managed to squeeze out, and pointed back to the shower room inside, "The mirror is not stable when standing lightly, and it is easy to fall when the bathing floor is wet."

Qian Wu nodded, took out his own bath towel, went in and looked at his mask in the mirror before breaking off the shower, always felt uncomfortable, thought about it and then came out, took out Jiang Chen's bath towel and covered it.

Today is the third day.

The dungeon hinted that he would leave on the morning of the eighth day, but the deadline for action liquidation was the seventh night, and the mission process is still vague up to now.Fortunately, this dungeon does not have an absolute execution mechanism, but it also exposes the biggest drawback for him - it is difficult to clear points.

Identifying exiles may count, but nerves usually only reward the first person to know, and these points are mostly counted on Jiang Shen's head.

Amidst the sound of splashing water, the bathroom door was suddenly slammed.

Qianwu shuddered, stretched out his hand to press down the shower, and the sound of water stopped.

Jiang Chen slapped the door twice again, "Don't wash for too long, the water temperature in the small room is high, if you don't sleep all night, you will easily lack oxygen."

"Hmm." Hearing this, Qianwu turned the faucet slightly towards cold water, but did not turn it on for the time being, "Is something wrong?"

Jiang Chen's tone was a little dignified, "Wait until you come out and say it, it's nothing serious."

Qianwu quickly wiped off the water on his body and hair, and when he came out, he found that Xiaojia and the others had come again, and Qu Ying had also returned.

Everyone in the room was silent, Qian Wu was surprised, Jiang Chen said to him, "Xiaojia and the others counted the number of people just now, and there are four more missing, including two tengus. Now the five parts of the human body are complete."

Qianwu thumped in his heart, "How many are missing? Four? After everyone went back to their rooms yesterday?"

"Yes." Lion B's tone was somewhat hollow, "That is to say, within a few hours from midnight to early morning, four more people died of cannibalism. But we can't find the murderer, and everyone doesn't make trouble for themselves. , Killing someone will not admit and explain.”

Qianwu felt suffocated for a while, so suffocated that he didn't know what to say.

After a long time, he asked, "Who died?"

"Four girls, two tengus codenamed Wu and Geng, and two deer heads codenamed Ding and Geng. Now the deer head group has the most deaths, four out of seven, and one of the four is crazy."

Jiang Chen looked at him, and didn't follow his words to chat about whether Lu Wu was really crazy or pretending to be crazy.

In such a dungeon, those who can let go of suspicion and form a team with unfamiliar players should not be underestimated. There are a few smart people in Xiaojia's group.These people may also see that there is a problem with Lu Wu, but everyone tacitly does not talk about the exile.

Xiao Jia stammered: "Girls, girls are very, very easy to die. In this copy, quququ—indeed, lack of strength and flaws."

Zhong Liye hummed, "They're all gambling, it doesn't matter if they kill right or wrong, as long as they kill only themselves."

"There should be more than one exile in this dungeon." Qianwu thought for a while and said, "It's already the tenth dungeon, knowing that the boss may be putting together a human body, even if a player who doesn't know the situation wants to kill someone, he won't kill the Tengu. , only the exile will push the process without scruples."

Peng Peng suddenly asked, "Did anyone bump into the boss this morning?"

Xiao A was taken aback for a moment, "Listen to what you guys mean, you guys have met, met, met before!"

"Yeah." Qianwu closed the bathroom door casually to isolate the hot and humid water vapor inside, and took two steps into the room, "It seems that you touched it?"

Xiao A let out a sigh, "Well. I have to say, its disguise is really bad, no, it's so embarrassing——"

Peng Peng: "Vulnerable."

Xiao A nodded heavily, "Yes. I sleep, sleep, sleep early in the morning"

"Can't sleep, did you meet it when you went out for a walk?" Peng Peng spoke for him again, and guessed down, "It came up to talk again, telling you that it was boring, and that it was killed by dreams. friend?"

Xiao A was shocked, "You, you, you all know everything!"

Jiang Chen asked: "I didn't have time to find out yesterday, how many friends does it have?"

"Five." Xiao A tried his best to speak correctly and speak smoothly, "I suspect, yes, the mask corresponds. Also, I tested it."

Qianwu: "What did you find out?"

Xiao A said word by word: "They, all, are not human beings. Once, they were together in the house."

"What else?" Qu Ying folded her arms subconsciously when she was nervous, and took a step forward, "They were killed by dreams, is there a corpse? Where is the corpse?"

Xiao A was taken aback, "No, I didn't ask."

"..."

"What else are you doing?" Lion B asked, "I saw you chatting with that guy on the stairs for at least 10 minutes."

Xiao A was a little hesitant when he heard the words, as if he was embarrassed, and said after a long time: "I, I will teach it, how, how it stutters."

Everyone: "..."

Peng Peng was an eye-opener, "Is this something taught to others?"

"It wants to learn. It's very curious." Xiaojia sighed, and said slowly: "It's very patient. It doesn't dislike me. It's very, very interested."

Everyone started to frantically ask about the details of the boss again, but Qianwu stood outside the circle of people and did not join the conversation.Jiang Chen also came out, sat at the table and took out a pen and paper, and continued to write a few key words on the paper.

The key words of the BOSS written by Jiang Chen before are: ignorant of human nature, harmless, innocent.

He paused on the word "innocent", and then simply crossed it out after a while, and changed it to "benevolent". After thinking for a while, he added two words after innocent: curiosity, imitation.

"It's complete." Qianwu said suddenly.

Jiang Chen looked up at him, "Huh?"

After not sleeping all night, his voice was a little hoarse. Qianwu drank his saliva and looked down at the words on the paper and said: "We pay attention to the spirit and form when we draw characters. These few words are enough to locate a very precise 'God', not enough' shape'. But the shape isn't completely blank right now—"

As he spoke, he naturally took the pen from Jiang Chen's hand, and sketched it on the lower half of the paper.

"If you draw it in a human way, I tend to think that it is a little girl, neither fat nor thin, between 1.5 meters and 1.6 meters, with a wheat-colored skin. It is innocent and curious, so the end of the eyes cannot be charming. , it also has an inhuman etherealness, so it is best to have round eyes, not Danfeng, not almond eyes, not even the lower eyelids."

While Qianwu was talking, the image of a little girl had come to life on the paper.

Every painter has his own habits, for example, many people are used to starting from the eyes when drawing characters.But Qianwu has no inertia, he always draws whenever he thinks of it, and starts wherever the characteristic point is the strongest.

After drawing a pair of round eyes, the tip of the brush stopped again, and after a while, he completed the nose, but did not draw the mouth again.

"The lower part of the face is the part that is unclear at the moment." He put down his pen. "The shape of the lips, how to smile, these are very important, but I can't think of them yet."

Qu Ying also came over at some point, and suddenly asked: "Do you think his dream is to become a human? He wants to piece together a human body, he is curious about people, and he has to imitate bad things like stuttering." , I think its intention is actually very obvious.”

Other people who heard it also stopped discussing, Shi Yi said, "This is also the result of our team's discussion, but the head of the Tengu has no face, it needs a face."

"You, you can do it." Xiaojia suddenly looked at Qianwu, and said in a firm tone: "I actually know you, you, you, you are a painter."

"I am." Qianwu nodded, "I can also paint on a blank face, and I can paint like a real person, but I lack the 'canvas' and 'paint'."

A girl who hadn't spoken much in this room suddenly said, "I know about paints. I also learned a little bit of painting. When I searched the room yesterday, I found several tubes of dried paints, including white, ochre, yellow, Red and dark blue are enough to harmonize the skin tone."

Peng Peng's eyes lit up when he heard this, and before he could ask, the girl paused and said, "But there are not only paints in that drawer, but also a tengu mask. Someone forcibly pasted a piece of paper on the tengu mask, and painted on it. A woman's face."

"Tengu mask?"

"Yeah." She nodded cautiously, "So when I counted people in the morning, I paid special attention to it. The mask does not belong to the player who invested in this time. It may be left by the previous player."

Peng Peng sighed with emotion, "What do you think, if you paint with stickers on the mask, is it possible to draw a portrait? Besides, after the Tengu player dies, only the head disappears, and the mask is the rest. After the painting is finished, will the boss accept it?"

The situation seemed to be deadlocked again. The girl offered to bring the paint back to Qianwu. She was timid, and everyone in their team was with her.Jiang Chen looked up at Peng Peng, and Peng Peng immediately understood, "I'll go with you too, I'm bored after staying in this room for a long time."

The other party didn't mind being stared at, and nodded kindly, "Well, it's good to have a few more people. It's actually quite scary to open the drawer and see such a fake face. I didn't sleep well last night."

"Wait." Qianwu suddenly stopped them, "I forgot to ask just now, you said that the four dead people were discovered during the counting of the number, has anyone seen the appearance of the Tengu just after he died?"

"Yes." Shi Yi stopped at the door, turned his head and said calmly: "One of the girl's roommates went downstairs to make breakfast, and just after she was brought back to the room, she was lying in a pool of blood because someone stabbed her with a chopstick. It's on the chest. She said that the way the tengu disappears after death is different from other people."

"What's different?" Qianwu subconsciously took a step forward.

"Other people's clothes shrank correspondingly after the body disappeared, and because the key part is not the head, the head disappears together with the mask. But for Tengu players, the mask slips off the face first, and then the body disappears. When the mask slips, Her face was hollow and sallow."

There was a sudden dead silence in the room.

Lion B obviously also knew that these words were scary, and he subconsciously stroked his arms, "It's really empty, there is no eye hole, so it can be ruled out that the Tengu player himself came in with a faceless person. The Tengu mask is indeed Very special, not only provided the crucial head to the BOSS, but also the only one of them who was stripped of his face after death."

"I see." Qianwu suddenly took a deep breath and nodded, "You guys go."

Those people left, and Peng Peng walked last, looking back at him from time to time.

He heard what Qianwu meant, and it seemed that it was not a simple "know".

As soon as the door was closed, Qu Ying immediately asked, "What do you know?"

Jiang Chen first opened his mouth and said: "The players who entered the dungeon went in the wrong direction. The head in the bathtub and in the mirror has no face, and the BOSS only collects body parts, so naturally there is no face. Tengu-type players have facial features after death. It disappears automatically, this is just to comply with the settings of the dungeon. The meaning of the dungeon is that we need to find another face for the BOSS."

"Just now Lion B said that the skin was sallow. Think about it carefully. The few heads I saw in the bathtub that day were not completely rotten. They all had sallow skin." Zhong Liye said, "This is not reasonable, the skin is so yellow The proportion of women should not be too high, but we will encounter all the dead, which is very problematic. It means—”

Qianwu turned around and strode towards the bathroom without listening to him finish, "It means that the BOSS in this dungeon collects not five parts, but six parts. The head is just a head, and besides the head, it also lacks a piece of human skin." .”

"What are you going to do?" Zhong Liye lowered his arms around his chest, a little stiff, "Even if the skin is on your body—"

"The skin didn't come from me." Qianwu pushed open the door and walked into the bathroom. The steam from the shower just now hadn't completely dissipated, and it was hot and humid inside.

His tone was very calm, "I also participated in a non-profit public welfare activity when I was in school, and I needed to design a human face. The organizer sent each of us a simulated human face. It was only after I participated in that activity that I knew that the human face It’s not big, but the piece of skin that needs to wrap the whole head is not too small, how can I describe it—”

He said that he had stepped straight into the shower room, the water on the floor that didn't completely leak wet his shoes, he stood in front of the wall, tore off Jiang Chen's towel, and picked up the mirror again.

"Like this mirror is about the same size."

The mirror was very light, he felt it from the first time he picked it up.Just now Peng Peng also casually mentioned that it is not solid enough, and it may slip when standing on the ground.This goes against the underlying premise that things in the house are either sharp or blunt, and no one takes it seriously.Even when Jiang Chen checked the bathroom, he only checked the tiles and the wall behind it, but he didn't knock on it.

Qianwu put the mirror on the ground, stared at it with black eyes for a long time, picked up the small hammer that Zhong Liye brought in yesterday, and tapped on the four corners of the mirror respectively.

Cracks covered the mirror surface soaked by water mist, and after the last clacking sound, the glass on the mirror surface was finally torn apart and fell down with a splash.

Jiang Chen strode forward and pulled him back.

"There will be no ghosts, I guess there is only a blank skin here." Qianwu pushed him away, squatted down, and took out the box that was almost the same size as it was revealed in the mirror.

Mirrors cannot be considered hollow, and naturally they cannot be considered solid.

It is very light, because there is only a thin layer of mirror outside, and a light black velvet box is hidden inside.

Qianwu took the box outside on the bed, took a deep breath, and opened the lid.

A clean and flawless bionic leather hangs in the box.

There are slender brackets under its four corners, allowing it to be completely suspended in the box, spotless, waiting quietly in the dark to be opened.

This is the secret of the shower room.

The author has something to say: Little Nerve: I want a new skin too.

It is rare for the floor to actively respond: what do you want?

The little nerve thought for a while: Christmas is coming, I want green and white, striped.

Floor: That's not Christmas, that's a caterpillar.

Little Nerve: ...
