Infinite Nerves [Infinity]

Jiang Chen sometimes falls into doubts about human beings, and this doubt is right and only for Peng Peng.

After Zhong Liye told him to shut up, this guy suddenly came to his senses, and stared at him with his mouth wide open, with an expression of "So that's how it is", successfully attracting everyone's attention.

But he is also such a guy who never loses the chain at critical moments. He can understand the meaning of himself or Qianwu through a look at many life-and-death junctures without making any mistakes.

The female King Kong rushed to the river and asked coldly: "Is there anything we should know?"

Jiang Chen glanced at her aloof face without making a sound, and looked down at his watch.

The dusk lasted for a long time, never more than 8 minutes, but he didn't know exactly how long.There may be other points in time that mark the onset of twilight, from where it is exactly 8 minutes to sudden darkness.Unfortunately, without a camera, people cannot stand at the tail of time and count backwards.

"I'm talking to you." The female diamond's tone was cold, she stepped forward and stared at him directly, "The hidden clues can either be hidden or shared together. You are irritating others by doing this."

"I have nothing to say. I'm not an exile. I don't mind giving others a hand if I have the energy, but that's all." Jiang Chen simply lay down on the soft sofa, his military boots resting on the armrest of the sofa, and he watched Open the window, as if you can see the snow-capped mountains behind you through the shadows.

Anger welled up in the woman's eyes in an instant, and she was about to step forward when the male high school student held her back like a troublemaker, "Forget it, forget it, everyone is at a loss, even if he knows something about BOSS The clues are not that strong, can you still make a deal with the BOSS?"

Jiang Chen couldn't help evoking a smile when he heard the words, and said in a low voice: "It's really not."

"But maybe I slept through it." Peng Peng yawned, "Stop fighting, let's sit down and count together."

The female King Kong sneered, "Have you ever slept together? Have you received a certificate?"

Jiang Chen looked calm, "Not yet, but I have this plan."

"Fart!" The female King Kong kicked over a tin pot on the ground, and angrily sat down on the bean bag farthest from Jiang Chen amidst the tinkling sound, "Unfortunately, such a difficult Ben met you guys."

Jiang Chen sat up and made room for Zhong Liye, and everyone sat down near the sofa.

No one spoke, the two ponytails walked over and adjusted the fireplace, the crackling flames inside became more vigorous, and the room was so warm that people wanted to sleep.

Peng Peng introduced everyone in the team, and finally pointed to Jiang Chen and said, "This is our second leader, Jiang Chen. We all listen to him."

Jiang Chen took a good look at him.

"Second boss? Isn't he your boss?" Shuangmawei casually put the marshmallows in the fireplace, roasted them, and shared them with everyone, "Who is the boss?"

Peng Peng took it, took a bite, and hissed, "Boss is temporarily leaving the team and is not here."

"Not necessarily." Jiang Chen also took out roasted marshmallows from the plate. There were nine in total on the plate. He hesitated for a while and took another one. He raised his eyes and asked, "Do you mind?"

Twintails laughed happily, "I can't tell, you like candy."

Jiang Chen didn't answer, but he didn't eat either.After everyone had taken the marshmallows, he put the two in his hand back into the tray and kept the tray by his hand.

Peng Peng was a master at enlivening the atmosphere. He started the conversation, and the rest of the group also introduced themselves.

The boy in shorts is Shao Lei, a freshman in the School of Physical Education, and he is indeed a half-athlete.

The old man is a craftsman, let everyone call him Lao Shi.

Shuangmawei's name is Tiantian, and he works as a decoration designer.

"My name is Shen Rou."

As soon as the female King Kong spoke without emotion, everyone looked at her with ghost-watching eyes, only the double ponytails still smiled sweetly as the name suggests.

Peng Peng swallowed, "Rou? Seriously? Gentle Rou?"

The female King Kong didn't even bother to glance at him, and said, "I opened two experience halls to teach guests flower art and tea ceremony."

"..."

Silent.

The pair of ponytails smiled even sweeter, and put their arms around the arm of the female King Kong, "Surprised? She is a treasure girl."

The female King Kong looked at her tenderly.

Jiang Chen felt that his stomach was not feeling well, so he simply stood up.He glanced back at the open kitchen area behind him, and Qu Ying immediately got up, "What do you want to eat tonight?"

"By the way, we have a chef." The old man stretched his legs contentedly, "Can I cook a bowl of thick soup? Either sweet or salty is fine. In this damn weather, even if the room is warm, people still want to drink thick soup. .”

Qu Ying nodded, "Bread and cream soup?"

Everyone nodded unanimously.Qu Ying walked over and opened the cupboard, rummaged through it for a while and said, "It's really good, there is shortening, oh! You can also put some black truffles."

"She's so amazing." Peng Peng walked over to occupy Jiang Chen's seat, warmed up with Zhong Liye, and whispered, "Sometimes I think, if I didn't get nervous, I might never know you so much in my life great people."

Zhong Liye said with a smile, "You're not bad at all. The job of a tour guide is really common, but don't you have a side job? I think it takes a strong heart to be able to take care of funeral affairs for others."

Peng Peng snorted, "That's true. But let me tell you, the worst thing about funeral affairs is not the ghosts and ghosts, but the family members who answered correctly. If there are too many funeral affairs presiders, I will become an adult." .”

"How?" Zhong Liye was quite interested.

Peng Peng sighed, "Family property division, funeral expenses, it's all money anyway. Jewelry deposits and real estate, it sounds like it should be a lawyer's business, right? But I've seen people fight over funeral matters. , the richer you are, the more troublesome you are, and I, who is the planner and host, have spent so much time on the spot."

Jiang Chen was leaning on the console to watch Qu Ying meet, but suddenly his body trembled.

He turned around, "What did you say?"

Peng Peng immediately made a zipper movement on his mouth, and waved his hand, "I was wrong, I didn't mean anything, please forgive me."

"No." Jiang Chen frowned and strode towards him, "You mean jewelry deposit real estate?"

Peng Peng hesitated and rubbed his butt away from him, "Yes... yes..."

Jiang Chen turned around and went to the large open dining table next to him, took out a pen and paper from his pocket, lowered his head and began to write quickly.

Outside the window and snow mountains, skiing, athletes.

Daybeds and beds, furniture, decoration designers.

Leaves and tea soup, tea ceremony.Tea studio.

Yakiniku and Tonkotsu, Recipes, Chef.

Necklaces and checks, family property disputes, funeral planning.

Shura and fire, the dead, doctor/general plaster and sculpture—

Jiang Chen asked: "Old Shi, what kind of handicraft do you do?"

The old man, who was looking for a needle in a haystack for clues, replied: "Gypsum, clay, you can do both. If you want to amuse children, plasticine is also fine."

Jiang Chen's pen tip hit the paper hard.

The last one left, life and death.If Shura Agni is against Zhong Liye, then life and death will be him.In turn, it was Zhong Liye.

The woman's cold voice suddenly sounded from behind, "You're quite smart."

Jiang Chen's back went numb, and he turned his head in disbelief, looking at the unexpectedly woman standing behind him without anyone noticing.

He has always been alert, and this is probably the first time he has not responded to being approached.

"So that's what it means..." Peng Peng came over and took the piece of paper away, and looked at it with Zhong Liye for a while, "Oh, Zhong Li, what do you think you and Jiang Chen should do?"

Zhong Liye thought for a while, "I am a doctor, and life and death are more in line with me. Jiang Chen is a commander. Although Shura and Agni are a bit abstract and exaggerated, they are indeed more suitable for his professional characteristics, but—"

"But what?"

Zhong Liye observed Jiang Chen's expression uncertainly, and said in a low voice: "I vaguely feel that in this description, life and death are the most important. From this point of view, it should correspond to Jiang Chen."

The female King Kong inhaled unbearably, "What kind of charades are people in your group playing? Why does Jiang Chen have to deal with the main event?"

"Didn't I tell you that he might have slept with the BOSS. If you don't believe it yourself, ask, ask Nima." Peng Peng rolled his eyes and squeezed past her, "Get out of the way, you It hinders our team's internal communication."

Twin Ponytails couldn't help but sigh aside, "Sleeping with the boss...I almost believed what I said."

There was a lot of noise around, and the female King Kong was so angry that she ran to watch Qu Ying cook.

Jiang Chen is still looking at the analysis note, one clue corresponds to one person, it seems to be reliable at first glance, the previous guesses about the life of the former and the death of the latter, and one life and one death as a group can also have a foothold. The phrases are regarded as the conditions of life and death for everyone. For example, Shao Lei can live only if he goes out of the window, but he will die if he goes to the snow mountain.

It seems to make sense, but there are a few that do not make sense, such as Shura and Agni, couch and bed, and life and death itself.

The dungeon's name is Endless.There are no missions and conditions for winning.The gatekeeper boss may be Qianwu, and he is still holding the note left by Qianwu, "Sunset for 8 minutes."

The clues were all strewn together, and he couldn't think of anything that could be strung together.

A cold hand suddenly covered the back of Jiang Chen's neck, Jiang Chen shivered, but when he turned around, he saw Zhong Liye.

"Don't push yourself too hard." Zhong Liye looked serious and professional, and raised his hand to touch his forehead, "You were very cold outside just now, and you have a little fever, don't think about it, take a good rest tonight."

Jiang Chen bowed his head and said nothing, Zhong Liye sighed and took out a medicine from the lucky bag, "This is the cold medicine that I stockpiled in the dungeon before. Jiang Chen, don't push yourself down, whether it is or not, you still have it." long way to go."

a long way.

Jiang Chen seemed to be touched by these four words, he finally let go of his hand and said hello, and swallowed the medicine with the water that Peng Peng handed over.

About four or ten minutes later, eight people sat around a large and solid wooden dining table, drinking the bread and cream soup made by Qu Ying.

Gently tap the crispy crust on the crispy bread with a spoon, dip the bread into the creamy soup below, scoop up a spoonful of it, it is crispy and rich, with soft sweetness.

The hot soup drank into the stomach, and the whole person became warmer.At this moment, Jiang Chen finally felt a little feverish, and his cheeks seemed to be steaming.Everyone was lamenting Qu Ying's cooking skills, but he was the only one who buried his head in the soup silently, his sleepy eyes were about to close.

In a daze, he suddenly thought that this was probably the best sweet soup since he entered his nerves.

It's a pity that Qianwu is not here.

"It's twelve o'clock." Zhong Liye said suddenly, "Am I not mistaken, the hour hand of the clock just now moved five times at high speed?"

Jiang Chen was startled, opened his eyes and looked up at the opposite wall.

To be precise, it's not 12 o'clock, the second hand is still half a circle away.

He said: "There is indeed a problem. Although it was suddenly dark, the clock in the house did not change. It should be six o'clock or seven o'clock when dinner is served. You read that right."

"Fuck, I feel cold." Shao Lei immediately put down the spoon and got up in a panic, "There must be something going on, where are we going? Is this area safe?"

"Sit down first." The female vajra said speechlessly: "What will happen can't be known until it happens? It's not safe, is it safe downstairs?"

Shao Lei took a deep breath, "You're right, but I suddenly feel so panicked, it's strange..."

Jiang Chen remained silent, his eyes fixed on the second hand that was silently approaching 12.

His body was very hot, and his breathing was slightly panting, but at this moment his mind was very clear.

Everything around him is within his line of sight, if there is a boss haunting him, he will see the opponent's face clearly at the first time.Maybe, there is still time to hold the other party down.

When the ding ding dong dong rang, everyone was taken aback.

This is a Christmas nursery rhyme, and the second hand has already pointed to twelve, which is the reminder bell at twelve o'clock at night.

A question mark gushed out of Peng Peng's face.

Only Jiang Chen, Jiang Chen stood up abruptly, breathing rapidly, pressing his hands firmly on the rough wooden table.

This is the cell phone ringtone that Qianwu has used for many years and has not changed.When he was a child, his mother gave him a mobile phone when he spent the first Christmas in Jiang's house, and he set the ringtone of the mobile phone to the nursery rhyme that the orderly at home played all night that year.

Jiang Chen suddenly felt empty around him, but he had no time to take care of it, he strode to the side of the sofa, looked around, "Qianwu!"

The sound echoed in the cabin, but the surroundings were deadly silent.

"Qianwu!!"

"Jiang Chen, stop shouting." Qu Ying's cold voice suddenly came from behind.

"Didn't you find out?"

Jiang Chen frowned and turned back, "What?"

The six people behind him collectively looked at him in horror, and for the first time a dazed expression appeared on the face of the female Vajra.

Jiang Chen suddenly felt something was wrong, six people?

Female king kong, twin ponytails, old man.

Qu Ying, Peng Peng, Zhong Liye.

Shao Lei was gone.

"What about others..." The voice of the female vajra trembled, "The big living person disappeared right under our noses?"

Qu Ying murmured: "Now I don't think it's... him. He shouldn't scare us like this... right?"

Jiang Chen still didn't say a word, to be precise, he didn't care about making comments.

His eyes fell on the small table next to the sofa, where there was a tray he left behind before, and there were two roasted marshmallows on the tray.

Two sticks of roasted marshmallows were missing.

The author has something to say: Little nerve: I actually ate it, hehe.One for me and one for the floor.

Floor: Doesn't your conscience ache when you lie?
