Infinite Nerves [Infinity]

The tattered exorcism manual exuded a strong smell, and Qianwu felt his head hurt even more just by looking at it.

"Let me keep it." Wen Li stepped up and said, "I don't know how many disguised demons there are on the street, let's go back and see."

He rolled up the foul-smelling thin booklet and stuffed it in his pocket, as if undisturbed.

On the way back, Qianwu heard Peng Peng holding Zhong Liye and talking about cross talk behind him.

"This Wen Li is not very talkative, but he looks quite reliable."

"Well, he is a loyal man."

"Both the soldiers and the eggplants are dead. Even if Wen Li leaves this book, he will be completely singled out. It's a pity."

"what do you want to say?"

Peng Peng paused slightly, "I feel that our team really lacks someone who can resist and fight. Yesterday he kicked the air wall with such strength! Is it up to it?"

Zhong Liye sighed, "You really regard yourself as the captain, and you are always worrying about recruiting talents."

"No." Peng Peng clapped his hands, "Captain, I decided to raise a case. If they agree, I will bring him here."

The people called "the two" walked one meter ahead and heard the conversation behind them verbatim.

"What do you think?" Jiang Chen asked.

Qian Wu looked normal, and said: "I think he looks like a retired soldier."

Jiang Chen frowned slightly, "Why do you feel that you look down on soldiers."

"Don't dare." Qianwu smiled, "Maybe because of his ex-boyfriend's phobia after joining the army, he sat on the sofa with a sullen face, and didn't talk about how to tease him. In fact, it doesn't necessarily need so many teammates to make a fortune. Ice lump, I would rather have another lucky and naive Peng Peng."

Jiang Chen was stunned, "Ignore people with a sullen face, have I ever done that?"

"When I first entered the barracks." Qian Wu said indifferently: "Almost every day."

In fact, Jiang Chen's memory is very vague.

The first time he entered the military camp was the most chaotic period in his life. The Jiang family army could not take it back, and several senior colonels rebelled against each other and wanted to be independent.The proud young master went to the barracks for training by himself, got in touch with the captains of every action team, and never went home until he was tired and numb.

Thinking of this, Jiang Chen's heart trembled suddenly, and his feet stopped.

He walked that road for more than a year, and he thought that Qianwu wanted to let go before the end, but it turned out to be earlier than he imagined.

It's just that in that year, Qianwu kept hiding the idea of ​​breaking up and didn't mention it. I don't know if he hid it too well, or he was too focused on the family at that time, so he didn't realize it.

"But I have to admit that a soldier does have the charm of a soldier." Qian Wu stopped, turned around and said, "After the dungeon is over, ask Wen Li, if you want, you can pull him in."

He lost his voice and was stunned for a moment.

Jiang Chen stared at him half a meter away, his eyes were silent and deep.

"I'm sorry." Jiang Chen said.

Qian Wu was stunned, "What?"

"We broke up suddenly and in a hurry." Jiang Chen's tone was a bit difficult, "There are many things, I haven't had time to say sorry to you."

Qianwu looked at him for a moment, then looked away, and smiled silently at Jiang Chen's shadow on the ground.

"No, I didn't have time to say sorry anyway."

He said softly: "Because of my arrogance and indulgence back then, I can't empathize with you."

They fell silent together, but within a few seconds, there seemed to be an unbearably subtle movement.

The three of Zhong Liye who followed behind just now did not know where they went.Qian Wu glanced back but didn't see anyone, and was about to speak when he heard someone around him ask in a low voice: "You hated me very much at that time, you became the kind of person you hate."

Qian Wu suddenly turned his head to look at him, a little astonishment flashed in his eyes.

"Why do you think so?" He frowned and shook his head, "Never before."

"Is it."

Jiang Chen turned around, and the two continued walking side by side.

Qian Wu said softly, "It's those years that I hate."

After returning to the inn, Zhong Liye and the three of them came in talking.

Peng Peng muttered, "I still don't understand. Why did you two suddenly drag me into that noodle restaurant? You have no money! Stand there and watch other people eat noodles!"

"Ancestor." Zhong Liye's voice was weak, "I beg you, shut up."

"Peng Peng." Qu Ying looked at him with worried eyes, and gently stroked his shoulder with compassion for the mentally retarded, "I will stew pig's feet tonight, and I will put more walnuts for you."

"Pig knuckles should be stewed with peanuts." Peng Peng frowned suspiciously, "Or is it that Ying's specialty is stewed with walnuts?"

Qu Ying said softly: "It's a special feature, um... this is a special care for you."

"Everyone, let's take a look at this exorcism rule when you're all here." Wen Li took out the booklet from his pocket and gently flattened it on the table.

The book is like an old beggar, exuding the same domineering smell as a human being.

Jiang Chen felt that there was nothing around him, and turned his head to find that Qianwu had retreated five meters away with no expression on his face.

He couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth and said, "Then let me read."

The title page of the booklet reads: The painstaking work of the exorcist family. This painstaking work is thin and thin. There are only four pages, and each page has only one sentence.

"First, the exorcist can only dispel demons, don't try to destroy them, only demons can destroy demons." Jiang Chen read.

Peng Peng nodded seriously, "It's quite reasonable, the species are different."

Jiang Chen expressed his position, turned a page backward, and read again: "Second point, purgatory is divided into nine halls, and those who are inhumane live in the highest hall."

"This is consistent with the information revealed to us by Lian Gui Zi." Qian Wu said standing behind.

"But he doesn't seem to like killing people, so he climbed to the Eighth Palace." Xiao Bai couldn't help being speechless, "Is this called the talent of being a demon?"

Jiang Chen turned another page, "The third point, the high palace has the right to dispose of the low palace according to personal preference."

"This is useless." Peng Peng said, "Why did this rise to a workplace struggle in purgatory? It has nothing to do with us. The next one."

Jiang Chen turned to the last page, paused for a moment, and looked back at Qianwu.

Qianwu's heart moved: "What is it?"

"The fourth point, sacrificing one's loved ones is the highest expression of inhumanity." Jiang Chen said.

There was a moment of silence in the small building.

Peng Peng stared and said: "No way, Lian Guizi sacrificed Lian Ji Wu?! That human trafficker was in collusion with Lian Ji Zi!"

"..."

Qian Wu's original analysis was choked back by this magical brain circuit.

Qu Ying said softly: "No. Only those who die first step into purgatory can they embark on the road of sacrificing their loved ones."

Peng Peng froze, "That's right."

"If Chen Shu and Chen Ma are the childhood reflections of Purgatory Ziwu." He said in a low voice, "The one who was abducted by the traffickers first was his younger brother Chen Ma, so it was Lianguiwu who sacrificed his whole family after entering Purgatory, so that he gained a high position. ?”

Qian Wu pondered and said: "But if this is the case, can the two brothers still live in peace like they are now?"

"what are you guys saying?"

A cold voice sounded at the door.

Everyone turned their heads, and the Purgator appeared quietly at the door at some point, with his expression still calm and indifferent, he walked in and said, "I heard two brothers, are you discussing Chen Shu and Chen Ma?"

Everyone shut up collectively, Peng Peng shrank his shoulders again, and was as quiet as a chicken.

Jiang Chen calmly tore up the exorcism manual one by one, crumpled it up and threw it into the trash can next to it.

"What?" Purgatory asked.

Qian Wu walked over with a smile, "We are summarizing the way your brother killed yesterday, I hope you don't mind."

"Oh?" Purgatory Son's expression remained calm, "I don't mind, it's his choice to make progress, and survival is your right, it has nothing to do with me. I'm just curious, why are you discussing Chen Shu and Chen Ma?"

Qian Wu smiled and turned over the bench and sat between Jiang Chen and Peng Peng, the frightened Peng Peng didn't bother to give up his seat, so he had to squeeze tightly with Jiang Chen.

"I'm just curious." He said, "Yesterday I heard from Fat Er's mother that Chen Shu didn't seem to want to talk to Chen Ma, and Chen Ma was rushing to put on his brother's cold face every day. I thought they didn't have a good relationship." But at the funeral just now, I found out that my brother was also very sad."

Jiang Chen understood when he made up the rumor that the brothers were at odds, nodded and said: "It is indeed contradictory. But my brother may be pretending to be sad at the funeral, that child looks cold, not like a heart child."

"No." Purgatory suddenly frowned.

His voice became even colder, "You guys are new to town and don't know anything, so don't lie."

"Then the two brothers have a good relationship?" Qianwu raised his eyebrows, "The neighbors say they can't tell."

Purgatory Zi was silent, but there seemed to be a layer of frost between his brows.It was a long time before he said, "Maybe Chen Shu is just not good at expressing himself."

While talking, a man wearing a turban stepped into the inn with a basket of vegetables. He was a little surprised when he saw Lian Jizi, and he put down the basket and bowed.

"Master Badian, why are you out during the day?" He asked.

The Purgatory Son seemed too lazy to look at him, and only said, "What have you been up to lately, why can't I see him?"

"Lord Jiudian is always in a bad mood recently." The man replied, "I'm busy trying to find ways to set some tricky screening conditions every day."

Everyone's face turned cold when the players heard this, but the ghost disguised as a human didn't pay attention to them at all, and only said to Lian Jizi: "Master Jiudian will come for a routine investigation soon, you can wait here for a while. "

Purgatory son didn't speak anymore, he looked away indifferently, the other party straightened up and walked into the kitchen with the ingredients as usual.

After a while, he came out again empty-handed, and disappeared directly at the door without saluting to the purgatory son.

"Master Jiudian..." Qianwu looked at Lian Guizi, "So Lian Ji Wu is one level higher than you?"

Purgatory son paused, "How do you know the rules of Purgatory?"

"I read a lot of idle books." Qianwu yawned, and smiled with his chin in his hands: "We lowly humans are not as ignorant as you think."

Purgatory Zi looked at him, and suddenly smiled after a while.

"I think you're pretty good-looking." His voice seemed to come from far away, "Occasionally, you have a certain expression, which is a bit like my brother."

"Thank you, there's no need for it." Jiang Chen said coldly, "Where does it look like, I didn't see it."

Purgatory Man glanced at him, as if he didn't want to pay attention, and didn't answer.

While talking, Qianwu suddenly sensed an inexplicable gloom.He instinctively looked up at the door, and sure enough, he saw Lian Ji Wu appearing outside.

Under such an intuitive frame-by-frame comparison, the two brothers are indeed exactly the same, but their completely different temperaments make them very distinct.

"Here we come." Purgatory son's expression softened when he looked at his younger brother, "I heard from your subordinates that you are not in a good mood recently?"

"Let's do it." Purgatory Wu glanced at him and walked straight past, "I'm here to do today's investigation, do you have anything to do?"

Purgatory son seemed to be used to his younger brother's indifference, and said, "I haven't seen you for several days."

"If you have nothing to do, you don't need to see him." Purgatory Wu frowned, and glanced at him with dissatisfaction and arrogance, "Eight Palace, you are breaking the rules again. It is the duty of Nine Palaces to interrogate the new townspeople, do you still want to join us?"

Hearing this, Purgatory Child stopped in his tracks, and sighed softly after a while.

"I didn't mean it that way."

Purgatory Afternoon had already walked into the back kitchen, and lazily ordered everyone behind him: "Except for the one named Peng, the rest will enter one by one according to yesterday's order."

Purgatory son walked to the door, and there were seven or eight men with expressionless faces standing outside the door, obviously they were evil emissaries who had just finished patrolling the streets with Purgatory.

Qianwu watched him take out something from his sleeve, and said in a low voice, "Here you are, tell him that I have fixed it."

The ghost messenger said without emotion, and put the things into his arms.

"What?" Jiang Chen's sight was blocked.

Qianwu said, "It seems to be a toy, a bit like... a rattle?"

"Hmm." Jiang Chen raised his eyebrows in surprise, "I can't see it, Purgatory has been in the Ninth Palace in the afternoon, and the childlike innocence is still there."

Qian Wu couldn't help squinting at him, "It's not like I said, you are really getting more and more boring."

"Is there?" Jiang Chen asked, "What's so interesting about a child's toy?"

"Then ask Purgatory Noon. Things from childhood are different no matter what time it is." Qian Wu frowned and shook his head.

After handing things over to the ghost messenger, Lian Guizi left, Qian Wu and Jiang Chen waited for everyone to be interrogated one by one, Qian Wu suddenly asked: "Do you feel that the polarities are reversed?"

"Yeah." Jiang Chen nodded, "When I was a human being, my younger brother chased my older brother, but now I have become an older brother chasing my younger brother. Perhaps my elder brother has some guilt in his heart, and there is always a part of his dereliction of duty in the younger brother's abduction."

"Maybe." Qian Wu paused, and then said, "But I don't think Purgatory Wu doesn't hate his brother as much as he showed."

Today's interrogation questions are a little more advanced than yesterday's.

When Qian Wu was the last one to enter the storage room, Lian Ji Wu was yawning and said boredly: "Yesterday I killed someone, and you were there, huh?"

"Ah."

Purgatory Wu asked, "How do you feel?"

Qian Wu glanced at him, "Nothing."

"No way." Purgatory Wu smiled, "Don't be afraid, today's screening criteria have already been set, it doesn't matter whether you answer my question or not."

Qianwu raised his eyebrows when he heard the words, "I really don't have any impressions. If I really want to, it probably means that I have figured out the way the demons kill people in the town. Is this an impression?"

"That's it." Purgatory Wu said with a mischievous smile on his lips, "In other words, you will soon adapt to the town's unique regulatory rules, and you are quite suitable to stay."

After the interrogation this time, Lian Ji Wu didn't say anything, and left the inn directly.

Qianwu followed him out, and saw the ghost messenger holding the rattle up.He thought that Purgatory Wu would continue to throw it away coldly, but Purgatory Wu was obviously more honest than he imagined, and he snatched it with his hands, shaking his drum happily.

The sound of hula hua la is very disturbing.

"He actually got this old stuff back." He spoke excitedly, turned his head and glanced arrogantly at the ghost guard and asked, "Does it sound good?"

The ghost guard bowed his head and bowed his head, "It sounds good if the adults say it is good."

"Flatier." Lian Ji Wu sneered, "You think I don't have eyes in the back of my head, so be more polite to my brother in the future, don't act perfunctory like a wooden man."

"You said it earlier." The man bent down even lower, "We thought you didn't want to see the Eighth Palace."

Purgatory afternoon shook the rattle and left, leaving the players to look at each other in the small building.

"Didn't there be any question just now?" Peng Peng looked around to confirm everyone's eyes, "He just asked me how I felt last night. Now that everyone has left, I don't think of other questions."

"Me too." Qu Ying said, "I guess I really only asked this question today, and I'm not afraid of us stringing together questions."

"Today's screening criteria will definitely change." Qianwu said, "Just now the ghost messenger said that Purgatory Wu was in a bad mood recently and tried every means to circle the townspeople for fun. How could it be possible to use the same logic to circle people for two consecutive days."

"Actually, I'm a little worried." Wen Li said suddenly.

Everyone looked at him, and he said uncertainly: "Learning from yesterday's experience, I haven't answered his question just now."

"I didn't dare to answer at first, but he said that today's screening criteria have already been set, and it has nothing to do with answering questions." Peng Peng said.

All the players nodded one after another, and they were all in the same situation.

"Yeah." Wen Li paused, "But he told me one more thing."

"What is it?"

"He said, you are already in the pool today, think about it."
