Infinite Nerves [Infinity]

Jiang Chen unconsciously walked to Qianwu's side, only the whistling wind could be heard in his ears, he didn't think about anything useful along the way, his mind was full of one thought——

Did he and him only separate for half a month?

It doesn't feel like it's been years of silent pain.

It was so long that it even far exceeded the three years of breaking up in the real world.

Jiang Chen rarely had an unrealistic thought, he felt that maybe only when we meet again, will he know how much he misses him.

"You came sooner than I expected." Qianwu turned his face to the side and glanced at him with a smile.

The pupils in those eyes are clearer than before, so bright that people want to step back subconsciously, as if keeping a distance is the only respect.

However, Jiang Chen didn't dodge, not only didn't dodge, but he got closer, so close that the sleeves of the two rubbed together again.

Qianwu looked at him for a while, "Why is your face flushed, and your breathing is still a little heavy, do you have a cold... um..."

Jiang Chen couldn't help but bite his lips, biting lightly for a moment, then wrapped his arms around the back of his head and kissed tenderly.The person in his arms had a lonelier and sharper demeanor when he was sitting alone on the top of the mountain, and his eyes were so bright that they were almost monsters, but the kiss was still as familiar as before, and it was still Qianwu.

After a long time, Qianwu reached out and pushed Jiang Chen away.Normally, Qianwu would be out of breath, but now he is breathing steadily, his red lips are as beautiful as blood, and his black eyes are even brighter.

Jiang Chen noticed that the force of his light push was much heavier than usual, probably due to a change in his instinct after becoming a Great Demon Empress, so he didn't ask any further questions, and just said: "In the past half a month, there is nothing unpleasant. Bar?"

"No." Qianwu sat down on the top of the mountain again, his legs hanging in the air, swaying comfortably in the whistling wind.

Before the huge golden-red sunset, he slightly raised the corners of his lips, "I didn't expect that I would be an idle monster. It seems that I have nothing to do except watch the sunset."

Jiang Chen looked down at him, he didn't want to ask anything at the moment, he just wanted to rub that limp black hair heavily.

He thought this way, and he did it. The big demon Qianwu messed up his hair, and stretched out his hands to smooth it out, and then patted his side lightly.

Jiang Chen also sat down.

"This picture is very familiar." Jiang Chen said, "In order to please you, Nerve created this set of Duofushan configuration. But this river is not well imitated. When I was a child, there were osmanthus trees on both sides of the river, and the osmanthus flowers were fragrant when the wind blew -"

Before he finished speaking, Qianwu calmly waved his hand towards the river.Although there are no osmanthus trees, there is a faint scent of cinnamon in the wind in an instant, and it is as sweet as if it enters the throat along with the breath.

Jiang Chen froze for a moment.

Qianwu smiled silently, "In the dusk that belongs to me, whatever I want, my nerves will give me."

"Twilight that belongs to you." Jiang Chen chewed these six words, his eyes shrank slightly.Qian Wu turned his head to look at him, and the two looked at each other for a moment, but Jiang Chen didn't say anything, turned his head and continued to look at Jiang.

Qian Wu was a little dazed, he could only watch Jiang Chen staring at the slowly descending sunset.

After a while, Jiang Chen turned around again.However, he still didn't ask anything, just leaned closer and kissed Qianwu lightly on Qianwu's lips as if he couldn't help it. After the kiss, he still didn't want to finish it, and then pressed his head and kissed his eyes and forehead.The setting sun slowly sank into the river while the two were staring at each other, Jiang Chen finally kissed all the places that could be kissed, and sat with his forehead rubbing against each other.

"How long?" Qianwu heard him whispering in his ear.

The voice was lazily lazily seldom seen in the commander's escape.

Qianwu's voice softened involuntarily, "It's only half a minute, a total of 8 minutes, and it took you a long time to walk over there slowly."

"Yeah." Jiang Chen finally remembered that there was still one place he hadn't kissed, and kissed his earlobe contentedly, "I'll run faster tomorrow."

8 minutes to sunset.

Jiang Chen also understood at the moment when he opened the door, that this was not a clearance clue left by the big demon Qianwu, it was just a note guiding him to a date.

The gigantic sunset finally shivered slightly and slowly sank into the river. The dusk disappeared instantly, and the warm golden-red light disappeared, along with the Dofu Mountain and the river behind it.

Jiang Chen faintly felt a chill again, as if he was about to be pulled back into the snow-capped mountains in the next second.

"I'll come back tomorrow." He said to Qianwu, "wait for me."

Finally, Qianwu couldn't help asking, "Shouldn't we discuss the method of publishing the book?"

"We'll discuss it tomorrow." Jiang Chen said, "It's impossible for nerves to let you know important things. Today is only the first day of the dungeon. I still need to find some more clues, and—"

Qianwu's outline was gradually disappearing, and Jiang Chen himself could feel that he was about to leave. Even if he didn't turn his head, he could feel the darkness gradually engulfing behind him.

But he was very calm, and smiled gently at Qianwu who was about to disappear, "And I have already thought about it, after entering your copy, we will only stay together for a while when we meet for the first time, and don't discuss heavy things."

Qianwu's expression was extremely helpless. Before disappearing completely, he said: "8 minutes is the limit for my nerves to forcibly transform me into a demon. It is precisely because it is only 8 minutes that I know very little about the dungeon, but I know that in the dungeon description There must be important fundamental laws hidden."

After the words fell, Jiang Chen was enveloped in darkness and dizziness, he seemed to be stuffed into the washing machine and whirled around quickly for no reason, and almost spat it out when he opened his eyes again.

There is a familiar log cabin in front of him, and a fire is still burning in the crackling fireplace behind him.The three of Peng Peng and the others were still staring at each other, seeing that he was about to speak in surprise just now, and the other three who pushed the door to go to the library also suddenly appeared and returned to the carpet.

So Peng Peng forcibly swallowed half of the sentence "I see Qianwu is gone", and shouted stiffly: "I see——you came out! I'm so happy!"

Shen Rou greeted him with the eyes of a fool.

"How is it?" Jiang Chen's face was as calm as before, not at all the joy of meeting his boyfriend who had just met Xiaobie half a month ago.

The two ponytails frowned, "It's indeed a big study room as you said, but..."

But no one was inside.

She was afraid of the secret conversation between the two last night, so she didn't say the second half, but Jiang Chen naturally understood.

Lao Shi said, "We were impulsive just now. We shouldn't have rushed in after listening to your words. Fortunately, nothing happened. Think about it carefully since you came in. You have been acting too selfish and brought a whole team. Instead, you let us Let your guard down."

Jiang Chen sat back on the sofa, did not restore the coffee table that had exposed the secret to everyone, but smiled, "If it is not necessary, I will not harm anyone."

"But you can use people." The pair of ponytails stared at him, "Let the three of us go down, you and the people in your team don't move. Before we had time to search seriously for a few minutes, we were sent back by a forced dizziness , Then what did the people on your team do in these few minutes?"

Qu Ying and the other three remained silent, while Peng Peng stood behind everyone, staring at Jiang Chen with staring eyes, condemning him with his eyes.

Make it up you, what did we do!

Jiang Chen leisurely took a sip of the black tea that Qu Ying gave him on the table beside the sofa when he had a fever and fell asleep in the afternoon, and said, "I'm looking for my boyfriend."

Peng Peng: "!"

Everyone: "?"

Twin ponytails: "Boyfriend?? Male??!"

Jiang Chen held the teacup and drank all the cold black tea, barely suppressing the heat from kissing Qianwu just now, "There's nothing we can't say about what happened last night."

He said this to Twintails.

After a while, after listening to the two ponytails struggling to finish what happened last night, everyone sat around the sofa and fell into a myth.

The three of Peng Peng and the others were also thinking about it, but what was confusing was not what happened last night, but what was going on in Jiang Chen's head.

Jiang Chen played with the white porcelain teacup in his hand, listening to Peng Peng whispering to Zhong Liye, "I used to think that I never understood Qianwu, I was totally wrong."

It was rare for Zhong Liye not to tell him to shut up, but agreed: "Well, sure enough, compared with artists, the superiors are the most difficult to understand."

Peng Peng was silent for a while, and couldn't help asking even more quietly, "What does this superior person mean? Is that what I thought it meant?"

As soon as the words fell, Jiang Chen slapped him on the head with a crisp sound, and the other three players in the myth all trembled at the same time.

"Then you found your boyfriend... no, I said that BOSS... did you find it?"

Jiang Chen didn't change his expression, "No, am I still here after you found me?"

Everyone: "..."

It's not unreasonable to roar.

Jiang Chen is not good at chatting, so he will chat to death very naturally.

The room was quiet for a while, and he seemed to finally straighten out his thoughts, and asked, "Apart from the neatly arranged bookshelves, do you see anything else?"

Shen Rou's temper is rare, "What else do you mean?"

Jiang Chen thought for a while, "For example, is there any book protruding from the shelf, or falling on the floor."

The pair of ponytails sighed, "I understand what you mean. What you and I agreed to last night, I will understand as soon as I go to see those books. But all the books below are arranged neatly, and none of them fall out, especially It’s the two rows where the art portfolio and albums are placed, I’ve focused on it.”

She paused, then hesitated and said, "The situation is not as optimistic as expected. If Shao Lei really turns into a picture album as you said, I am afraid it is also a picture album without self-awareness, otherwise it is impossible for us to all go down, and he still has no way to do it. Get out of here."

"This is a bit outrageous." Jiang Chen frowned upon hearing this, ten to ten of the collections Qianwu said were related to albums, he would not want to collect other things.

"It's coming to me tonight." The twintails swallowed, "To be honest, I'm a little nervous."

Jiang Chen said, "Don't worry, it's impossible for his collection to have nothing to do with paintings, or maybe it's not an album, but something that's included in an album."

The deal Jiang Chen made with her last night was that if the double ponytails were turned into a picture album, it would fall off the shelf when someone passed by.If it becomes a page in the picture book, curl yourself up in the picture book as much as possible, like adding a thick bookmark to the picture book, so that you can quickly scan the top of the spine to find out which book is strange .

"Let me go get something to eat." Shen Rou took a deep breath and stood up from the bean bag, clutching her hands with ponytails, "Don't be afraid, if it's really you—"

"He won't hurt people." Jiang Chen's tone was natural and sure, his eyes only stayed on the faces of the two girls for a moment, and he said lightly: "Don't worry."

As if there was a magical power of the commander, after he said he was relieved, the two girls stopped muttering.

After hearing the story of her boyfriend, Shen Rou became strangely gentler, and even asked about Jiang Chen's taste when cooking the porridge.

While the few people were busy in the kitchen and eagerly discussing what they had seen in the study, Peng Peng and the others came over.

"What's the matter, boss." Peng Peng asked in a low voice, "Did you see Qianwu?"

Jiang Chen couldn't help curling his mouth when he heard the words, "Yes."

"I see!" Peng Peng let out a gasp roar, Qu Ying quickly asked, "Is he alright?"

"Fortunately."

Zhong Liye asked, "Any clues?"

Jiang Chen said, "It's the first time we meet, don't talk about clues."

"Just tell your heart, right?" Peng Peng rolled his eyes and almost passed out on the sofa, then got up and grabbed Jiang Chen's coat sleeve and asked, "You are outrageous, he can't be outrageous with you, right? What did you say? By the way, has Qianwu changed? Has he become handsome? Does he have superpowers? Does he grow fangs? Can he float? Can he eat people? "

Hearing this, Jiang Chen turned to look at him expressionlessly, "Eat."

Peng Peng's face turned pale.

"Eight minutes at sunset every day, he wants to eat one person, and he will die if he starves for three consecutive days." Jiang Chen's tone didn't sound like a joke, "I made an agreement with him, and I will send one person every three days." People, I haven’t eaten for two days yesterday and today, that is to say, tomorrow—I want to pick the one who talks the most.”

Peng Peng raised his legs and rode on the back of the sofa, and ran non-stop rolling and crawling.

The three people who were having a heated discussion in the kitchen were startled, and the two ponytails shouted: "Are you okay? Why can a living person with healthy limbs fall off the sofa backwards!"

Shen Rou forbeared, "The IQ configuration of your team is really weird."

Peng Peng was too lazy to talk to Jiang Chen, and simply went to the kitchen to chat with those three people to distract them.

Jiang Chen looked at him from behind for a while, and couldn't help snorting.

I have to admit that although I still have no clue about the dungeon at the moment, I am in a very good mood.

The only regret is that the time is too short, he can't wait until the sunset tomorrow.He didn't even have the heart to think about how to rescue the player who was hidden by the little demon Qianwu, wishing that the hour hand and the second hand would be pulled, and it would be dusk tomorrow.

Zhong Liye still asked seriously in a low voice: "What did Qianwu say?"

"It's true that he didn't say much, and he knows very little. Although this copy belongs to him, he obviously doesn't trust him enough. Instead, the little monster underneath is more like a real boss." Jiang Chen paused, then lowered his vocal cords He said a little uncertainly: "But I heard what he meant, probably two things. One is that the nerves don't seem to be strong enough to turn people into monsters casually. The nerves forcefully maintain his monster status will be bound by time. It was he who guessed that there were important clues hidden in the dungeon description, which might be the most basic law of this dungeon, which is the key to our escape."

While talking, Jiang Chen took out two notes from his pocket. On the left was the "8 minutes of sunset" left by the great demon Qianwu, and on the right was the dungeon mission description that everyone silently wrote down.

Jiang Chen's eyes lingered on the two pieces of paper for a long time, "To sum it up, it should be two keywords. One is of course 8 minutes after sunset, and the other... doesn't quite look like a mission description. I tend to think it's hidden in the dungeon name. inside."

"Copy name?"

Zhong Liye's and Qu Ying's gazes that were originally looking at the mission description moved up silently at the same time, and landed on the very inconspicuous dungeon name.

Endless.

Jiang Chen looked calm, and said softly while thinking: "Maintaining Qianwu's monster identity is subject to a time limit, but there must always be a boss in the dungeon, and it must be a boss who follows the nerve settings and fulfills the rules of the dungeon for the nerve. According to this speculation, the little demon Qianwu should be a puppet pinched by Qianwu's nerves. The little demon Qianwu and the big demon Qianwu alternate, although they are two people, there is a time competition."

"As for the two competing parties, it is obvious that the little demon is strong. The opportunity for the great demon Qianwu to appear is only 8 minutes at dusk every day. The nerves are very vigilant against him. Even if it is only 8 minutes, he doesn't even have any mission. He just sits on the top of the mountain and watches. landscape."

Qu Ying couldn't help sighing with emotion in a low voice, "That's okay, I'm really afraid that he will work hard after becoming a monster."

"Eight minutes after sunset, that's about it. It's a clue about the BOSS." Jiang Chen hissed, "There should also be a clue about the dungeon mechanism."

He seemed to be stuck in the state of talking to himself when he was sorting out the logic of the plea when he was a student. He pressed Qianwu's note underneath and looked at the paper of the task description.

"Outside the window and the snow-capped mountains, lying down and sleeping beds, leaves and tea soup, burnt food and pork bones. Necklaces and checks, Shura and raging fire, plaster and sculptures, life and death."

The low and soft tone paused, Jiang Chen pressed his fingertips on the last three words, and said it again, "Life and death."

"Endless."

The discussion in the distant kitchen stopped at some point.

Peng Peng lay on the back of the sofa and showed his eyes, "What do you mean? It was getting dark so fast, I feel faster than yesterday, Miss Tiantian with two ponytails won't disappear immediately, right?"

"It's all the same thing." Qu Ying said suddenly.

Peng Peng opened his mouth even wider, the silent one?

There was a hint of a smile in Jiang Chen's eyes, and he hummed.

Outside the window and the snow-capped mountains——outside the window of the cabin is the snow-capped mountains.

Couch and bed are bedding, leaves and tea soup are tea items, burnt food and pork bones are food, necklaces and checks are property, Shura and fire are symbols in stories, plaster and sculpture are handicrafts.

By analogy, life and death may be the same thing in this dungeon.

Life is death, the cycle goes on and on, life and death are endless.

The sky outside had completely fallen into darkness, Shen Rou who had just poured out the porridge suddenly said: "Everyone, time—"

The clock has pointed to 11:59 pm again, and the second hand will turn a little longer, and the twin tails will disappear.

But Jiang Chen didn't seem to feel the pressure of imminent death. In the darkness, his eyes became deeper and brighter. He took out the Code of Survival from the lucky bag, and quickly turned to a new page.

It was still blank last night, but at this moment, the first rule that was verified by comprehension appeared on it.

【Big Demon Qianwu】

【#1 Life is like death, life and death are endless】

Reminding that the Christmas children's songs at 12 o'clock in the middle of the night suddenly sounded again, Jiang Chen pressed the line on the code with his hand, and turned his head.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the twin tails disappeared silently.

The author has something to say: Little Nerve: Tell a joke.

Small nerves: The big demon Qianwu only has 8 minutes.
