Infinite Nerves [Infinity]

Before the "interview", Qianwu and Jiang Chen walked through every floor.

Each floor of the castle is similar, with an infinite spiral staircase in the center, and the guest rooms on both sides are like copy and paste.There are leather sofas in the lobby on the first floor, the interview room is at the innermost side on the left, facing the banquet hall, and there is a basement floor further down the spiral staircase.

Stepping on the last minute, Qianwu pushed open the door with the sign "Interview Room".

The room was gloomy and cramped, with lampposts densely packed around the walls, and white wax burning in the lamp doves.There are five rows of pitch-black seats on the ground, just enough for 25 people.There is a square black hole in the wall directly ahead.

The room was almost full, and the players shrank back tacitly. There were only two people in the first row.One of them, clinging to the wall, was the peaked cap that had just come back from the garden.

"I'm so scared." A tall woman suddenly said, "Do any of you know what's going on?"

No one answered, and after a while, the short-haired woman said, "I was cooking, and there was white mist in the pot. I leaned over to look and was pulled in."

"My wife and I were arguing." Gao Dapang said, "I suddenly became dizzy. Before I passed out, I thought I had high blood pressure from anger."

The players gradually discussed, Qian Wu walked to the first row and sat down quietly, Jiang Chen also sat down, looked at the vacant seat beside him and said: "Someone hasn't arrived yet."

At the end of the sentence, there was a click of the second hand, and the eleven o'clock bell rang through the castle.

A gust of wind blew by, and clusters of pale flames rushed violently into the room.

The "Wedding March" suddenly played somewhere in the castle.The musical instrument is the suona, revealing a great eerie sadness.

"what!---"

"mom, Mom, Mom!"

The players who had calmed down just now collapsed collectively, hugging and screaming regardless of men, women and children.

Qianwu: "..."

Jiang Chen covered his ears during the duet of suona and crying and asked him, "Did you speak just now?"

"No." Qianwu firmly shook his head.

He originally wanted to say that it was quite scary, but he was choked back alive by the screams of these people.

Not long after, the sound of the suona suddenly dropped by two decibels, and the scurrying candle wicks returned to calm as the door was pushed open. The butler appeared at the door with four plump-faced maids.

The butler, who was smiling respectfully at first, suddenly became serious when he saw the empty seat beside Qianwu, showing a look of deep hatred.

"It's really a life-and-death... But it's okay." He squinted at the empty chair, turned to look at the maids, one of the maids immediately bowed his head and backed away, and quickly exited the room.

The butler turned back silkily, bowed to the players, and cleared his hoarse throat.

"Good evening. Someone is late, so let's wait for friends who are late when the owner of the manor chooses a bride."

As soon as he finished speaking, an eye suddenly appeared in the black hole on the wall.

The eyeballs were bloodshot, greedy and sinister, circling behind the black hole.

This time Qianwu reacted quickly enough, he quickly blocked his ears.In the duet of screaming and suona, one eye quickly turned into two, quickly passing the player who lowered his head and dared not look at him, until he stopped for a moment when he met Qianwu.

Qian Wu smiled, tilted his head slightly, lightly tapped the armrest of the chair with his slender fingers, his dark eyes were meaningful, inviting but innocent.

Jiang Chen next to him suddenly let out a "hmm" in a low and majestic voice.Those eyes immediately attracted his attention, Jiang Chen's face was cold and stern, after staring at him for a while, those eyes glanced over him to look at the women crowded in the corner of the back row, and finally showed a wretched smile.

"Excuse me." A middle-aged man raised his hand tremblingly, avoiding eye contact, and stared hard at the housekeeper.

"The owner of the manor should only choose female players, right?" His teeth were chattering, "Bride, bride, at least a woman can be a bride, right?"

The butler didn't answer, as if he didn't hear his question.

Suddenly there was a man's shrill cry from the corridor, and a heavy object was dragged all the way from the other end of the corridor, kicking and scraping against the floor.

The maid kicked the door open with a bang, her five fingers spread wide, and her thick and thick hands grabbed the late player's head like a ball, dragged him in and threw him at the butler's feet.

"no, do not want……"

The player kicked his legs helplessly and shouted, "I didn't mean to! I got lost in the garden, don't, don't catch me..."

The butler bowed his waist and leaned closer, smiled and whispered in his ear, "But I told you to allow enough time to visit the garden."

"I remember!" The player twitched all over, with tears and snot mixed together, and grabbed the butler's pant leg, "I remember... let me go, let me go home..."

"Just remember, I believe you won't have a next time."

The butler smiled more kindly, reached out and patted the player's head lightly, his movements were gentle like caressing.

Just when the man thought he was going to be forgiven, he suddenly saw the corner of the housekeeper's mouth twitching mockingly.Immediately afterwards, there was a click from the depths of the skull, and something hot and sticky poured into his nostrils, and the field of vision spun, and the hideous face of the butler turned violently in the field of vision, until something stuck in the back of his head, and the world stopped .

He tried to keep his eyes open, and saw the butler's twisted chin from a very low angle of view. The sharp shoes closest to him in his peripheral vision.

There were two screams in the room, and the guy in the peaked cap next to Qianwu raised his head and pouted towards him.

The butler took out a handkerchief and wiped the blood from his fingertips in a gentle gesture.Well-trained maids rushed up to clean up the corpses, one was responsible for dragging them away, the other two took out rags and squatted on the ground and ran to mop the floor, while the one who was responsible for catching the latecomers picked up the fresh warm clothes that had been wrung out by the housekeeper. The head trotted all the way out of the room.

With her small steps, an eyeball fell from the head of the person in her arms and rolled on the ground.

The butler walked to the black hole in the wall and bowed apologetically, "Master, have you made your decision yet?"

The fishy smell in the room made people vomit, and the eyes on the ground stared at the players unwillingly and fearfully.

Pale candles were crackling and burning, and more than 20 people sat in the gloomy room with blank faces, staring.

The eyes in the black hole disappeared, and the housekeeper put his ears close, and smiled after a while and said, "I see."

The room was quiet again.

"You." The butler pointed to Qianwu.

After a slight pause, his fingers deviated a little, towards the woman in the last row in a straight line with Qianwu.

He showed a subtle smile, "Congratulations on being the first bride, tonight is your bridal chamber wedding night, please follow the maid to the wedding room to wait for the owner of the manor."

The one chosen was the tall girl, with a strong body and good looks.The girl was stunned for a long time before realizing it was her, and suddenly broke down and burst into tears.

"I don't want to! I won't go!!"

She jumped up, kicked the stool away, and staggered to the door.However, as soon as he crossed the threshold, he was grabbed by the arm by the returning maid and forcibly dragged out of the room.

"Help me! Why don't you save me! What the hell is here... What kind of nerve, I want to go home! Let me go!—"

The maid's fat hands were like shackles, and there were shocking bruises on her arms.The mournful cry resounded through the corridor, almost covering the suona.

"Tonight's important work is over." The butler smiled in a good mood, "Although there is a small accident, I believe this will make the next few days smoother, won't it?"

No one responded, and he said to himself: "The manor provides a wedding banquet for the guests. From twelve o'clock to one o'clock, the dishes are exquisite. I hope you can enjoy it after a short rest."

When leaving the interview room, the door of the banquet hall has been opened, the lights are bright, and the sound of cups and saucers is pleasing to the ear.Jiang Chen went upstairs with many players, Qianwu originally wanted to go back and stay for a while, but when he thought of the poor candles in his room, he stepped into the banquet hall without hesitation.

The long table is full of delicacies, and the maids are still serving them continuously.

He sat down on a chair at random, stopped the passing maid and asked, "Can I have a glass of spirits?"

The maid nodded and retreated, and the butler quietly appeared beside him, bending over with a smile: "It's the first time to honor you, are you satisfied with this kind of dinner?"

The long table is full of delicacies, but Qianwu just glanced over it lightly, "It's okay."

"All right..." The butler's smile froze, "What do you mean by all right?"

"It means bad." Qian Wu frowned as he said, looking at the green face of the housekeeper within a short distance, he said again: "You just twisted someone's head, and you still have that bloody smell on your body..."

He didn't finish his sentence, but there were undoubtedly four words written on his frown: stay away from me.

There are four more words: cleanliness thank you.

The housekeeper turned his head and walked away, his movements were silky and ruthless, and he refused to say another word.

Qianwu looked at his back, and felt that lingering death aura was getting heavier.

"Why did you deliberately provoke him?"

Jiang Chen came in with most of the players at some point, pulled the chair beside Qianwu and sat down, "Seduce the BOSS for a while, and provoke the NPC for a while, don't you think it's not exciting enough?"

"The boundaries of the rules need to be tested, don't you think this housekeeper..." Qian Wu turned his head while talking, but was stunned for a moment when he saw Jiang Chen.

The military uniform was replaced by a beige long windbreaker, the shirt was tucked into the trousers, the two pens were still pinned to the chest, and the military boots were tough but soft.

"I asked the maid for two sets of casual clothes." Jiang Chen explained: "The uniform is inconvenient to wear, there should be no discipline committee in the dungeon."

Qianwu didn't make a sound, and tried to pick up the slap in the face just now, but forgot what he was going to say.

ding ding.

The butler knocked on the glass to attract everyone's attention.

"Before the dinner begins, allow me to emphasize a few more points."

He said softly—

"First, you are not allowed to be late for the interview at eleven o'clock every night. I believe you have already remembered."

"Secondly, tonight is really special. From tomorrow onwards, the maid will deliver wedding dresses to each lady's room in the afternoon. I hope everyone cheers up and dresses up for the interview, so that my master can have a more pleasing selection."

"Pervert!" The peaked cap couldn't bear it anymore and threw the silver spoon into the plate, lowered his head and said tremblingly: "What are you going to do with that girl just now? And that buddy who just got lost and came late..."

The butler didn't look at him at all, and continued to speak over him, "Third, the wedding banquet ends at one o'clock in the morning. The maids and I have to rest at night and cannot be on duty. Please take care of yourself. I believe that you will sleep well think."

As he spoke, he slid back a step, and bowed neatly with two rows of maids behind him, "Then, please enjoy yourself and wish you a good night in advance."

After the words fell, the butler turned and left, and the maids disappeared one after another.

There were only players left in the huge hall, and soon there were crying and cursing.

"I'm going home, I'd rather go back to school..."

"This is no place for people to stay. Even if you go back and stay in prison, it will be better than now!"

"Damn it, being pulled into this kind of place by some perverted nerve, it's better to go to hell with the bitch as soon as possible..."

Some were crying, some were cursing, and some had already entered a state of numbness, stuffing food into their mouths mechanically.

Faced with incomprehensible and insoluble fear, people's inner defenses collapse, and the secrets that are hidden under the sun on weekdays are poured out like venting.

"Why do I feel that few of these people are normal?"

Qianwu murmured and cut off a piece of beef and put it in his mouth, and found that it was not as bad as he imagined, the meat was soft and juicy, even delicious.

He sipped the thin wine that the maid poured for him in one sip, and then carefully cut the steak in front of him. The knife cut the surface along the texture of the meat, revealing a tender red color.Satisfied, he ate up the meat, and casually dipped some bread into the sweet soup.

"The appetite is not bad." Jiang Chen casually asked beside him: "By the way, didn't you hate drinking before?"

Qianwu's expression was calm, "After seeing the bloody scene just now, it's hard not to want to have a drink."

"Really." Jiang Chen lowered his head and cut open the steak with a knife, and suddenly asked in a low voice: "Are you afraid?"

"I don't feel anything." Qianwu wiped the corner of his mouth with a handkerchief, and said expressionlessly, "I'm not a child anymore."

The suona sound suddenly stopped at a certain moment after 12:30.

"Damn it, it finally stopped." Gao Dapang let out a long breath, cursing and biting the huge lamb bone stick to vent his anger.

Qianwu's movement of grabbing the bread paused for a while, and gently put the bread that was supposed to be dipped in soup back on the plate.

The short-haired woman sitting directly opposite him suddenly said worriedly: "It's not the hour now, the suona sound has stopped, there shouldn't be any triggering events."

Everyone who had just started eating with confidence stopped their knives and forks again.

"Miss, your talent is good." The peaked cap pointed at her arm, and said, "I just looked around, and you are the best among us who show their arms."

"Yes." Gao Dapang also nodded in agreement: "What's your route? What do you mean by the trigger event you just mentioned?"

The woman nodded: "My name is Qu Ying. The banquet is not over yet. I think the suona sound should not stop for no reason. Maybe something happened. Anyway, don't take it lightly."

"What happened?" The man at the other end of the long table immediately stood up excitedly, looked around and shouted: "The butler might come back to kill people! Come, let's block the door together!"

A group of people immediately responded to him and stood up and began to move the stools, doing what they said.

Qianwu couldn't help but let out a soft sigh.

"It doesn't look very smart." He rubbed his temples in distress. "It's a bit troublesome to break into this with this group of people."

Jiang Chen said: "But I agree with this girl. Do you think there will be triggering events?"

Qianwu didn't respond immediately, he turned his head and looked at the open window behind him - in the garden under the night, countless single-family courtyards were all lit up, with festive and auspicious lights.

"It's the bridal chamber." He turned around and stirred the sweet soup with his drooping eyes, frowning inadvertently, and said, "Maybe the owner of the manor has succeeded."

A little closer, the party is over.Qianwu and Jiang Chen walked side by side quietly, and went back to the door of the room. There was no one around, Jiang Chen asked: "What do you think is the probability of that girl surviving?"

"It's hard." Qianwu's tone was flat, "Nervousness seems to be very rules-based, so I don't believe that there will be unsolvable deadlocks in the dungeon. But the person who was selected in the first night is really unlucky, and there is no clue. It doesn't look like it can stand up."

Jiang Chen pressed the doorknob for him and pushed the door open: "The butler said today that the dresses will be sent to the female player's room. I think some people really believe that the rules only pick female players."

"I don't believe it." Qian Wu walked into the room and hummed: "After all, looking at the taste of this manor, the owner of the manor is a rich man."

"Oh? What's wrong with the rich man, what prejudice do you have against the rich man?" Jiang Chen looked at him with a smile across a threshold.

Qianwu said blankly, "Prejudiced. In the past few years after becoming famous, are there not many local rich people who want to seduce me in the name of talking about art?"

Jiang Chen's smile froze on his face unexpectedly.

"Good night." Qianwu closed the door bluntly.

He reluctantly took a bath under the pale candlelight, blew out the candle, and lay down on the empty big bed.

Insomnia has been with me for a long time. Compared with the long night, there is no other horror in the world.

Death may also be nothing.

However, as soon as he lay down, an unbelievable drowsiness swept over him, and the ceiling became distorted in his sight.He tried to open his eyes wide in surprise, but it took a moment for him to lose consciousness irresistibly.
