Infinite Nerves [Infinity]

Like the foggy corridor in the game, there is only a road within half a meter of the foot, and the rest is thick fog.

Qian Wu stepped into the fog, just took two steps and then turned back, there was also a fog behind him, like the moment before he entered the nerve, everything was invisible.

The team had already discussed the due west position before entering, but they didn't expect that there was fog everywhere, and people's instincts for the front and the straight road were completely confused.Qianwu walked in the original direction for a while, but the more he walked, the more he felt that something was wrong.

Faintly, there seemed to be voices in the fog all the time, like someone shouting, and there were also cries and cries of pain.But those voices seem to be separated by a layer of time and space, so far away that people can't tell whether they are real voices or hallucinations in their minds.

It looks like there are three intersections, but in fact there may be hundreds of small roads. The fog shrouds these roads together. Even if they intersect in some places, it is impossible to distinguish the direction.

After going deep into the fog for a long time, some blurred vision finally appeared in the fog ahead.

Qianwu saw a player walking in another direction from a distance, that person seemed to have seen him too, looked back at him blankly for a while, but didn't intend to come up to talk to him.

Another arrow-shaped guidepost appeared in the fog, pointing to the left and forward, with the word "West" written on it.

Qianwu was about to turn to the left when he suddenly thought of something and took out the compass from his lucky bag.

The pointer rotates to point north and south, and the south-facing pole stops directly in front.Qian Wu was stunned for a while, then looked up again at the road sign in front of him.

In the direction of westbound, the signboard points to the left, but according to the compass, it should be to the right.

Suddenly another figure appeared in the fog in front of him. That person paused for a while in the distance, as if he was trying to identify something, then turned around directly and turned back in the direction he came from.

Qianwu suddenly understood, he looked up at the misleading road sign, and stretched out his hand to turn it tentatively.The seemingly stable stone pillar was very light, and it was turned in one direction without any effort.

"..."

He had to turn the sign to the true west, then turned and walked to the right.

The farther you go, the more and more street signs there are.

There are four street signs pointing to east, west, north, south, and even some street signs point directly to the "Collection Hall".According to the mission description, players enter from the east of the village and leave from the west.The collection hall is in the center of the village, completely on the only way to the west.But those road signs pointing to the collection hall always ran in the opposite direction to a west-facing road sign. Qianwu stared at the compass all the way, and counted more than a dozen road signs, but none of them was correct.

I saw several people in the mist one after another, but there were no familiar faces.

He was not sure what the situation of Zhong Liye and Qu Ying was, and Jiang Chen didn't dare to think about it, so he had to straighten the road signs he passed every time.

The fog is getting bigger and bigger, and there seems to be some kind of pattern.

Through the fog, you can see street signs within 100 meters and the figures of players on other roads that are closest to you.

Qianwu breathed carefully behind the mask, and walked for a while, when he suddenly saw the figure of a child in the mist.

Among the hundred players, it seems that he has never seen such a young child, and he is about ten years old according to his height.

The child didn't go astray like other players did when he saw it from a distance. He stopped there and looked around blankly. The closer Qianwu got, the more he felt that something was wrong. After a while, he suddenly realized something and stopped abruptly.

That was Jiang Chen's childhood.

A creepy feeling crawled up his back, he clearly remembered that he stopped, but somehow the child was suddenly very close to him.Close enough to be almost face to face, only one or two meters away.

"Qianwu." Xiao Jiang Chen looked at him in horror, "What's going on, how did I go back to when I was a child—"

Qianwu was silent for a while, "Well, it has become smaller."

"Do you know why?" Xiao Jiang's eyes showed confusion, "The mist at the entrance seems to be poisonous, and I am getting smaller and smaller as I walk."

"Really?" Qianwu raised his eyebrows, "Then don't follow me, take your path, and don't bring poisonous gas to me."

"..."

Xiao Jiangchen stared at him resentfully, and he walked by indifferently.

The pointer of the compass reliably guided the direction from beginning to end. He had just passed the figure when he suddenly heard Xiao Jiang's cold voice.

"I leave the compass to you, but you don't care about my life."

Qian Wu paused, "Yes, I regret it."

"..."

"Give me back the compass!" Xiao Jiang Chen seemed angry, "Leave it here and follow me."

Qianwu had a bad premonition in his heart, so he didn't reply.He clutched the compass tightly and walked forward quickly, but there was the sound of fabric tearing behind him, as if the clothes were being bulged by limbs that couldn't hold it, and the thing was sticking to his back and grinding his teeth.

It was Xiao Jiangchen's voice again, "My food and water are also in the lucky bag. Give me some, or I won't be able to leave."

That thing followed closely behind, making people subconsciously want to look back to see what happened.But Ah Jiu's collar button in the collar suddenly pressed hard against his neck, which hurt him so much, as if warning him not to look back.

Xiao Jiangchen was very angry, and Xiao Suibu followed behind him chattering endlessly.Qianwu walked fast, and he also walked fast, but he seemed to be restricted by some kind, and could only stick to his back.Qianwu's entire back was soaked in cold sweat, and the mask was attached to his mouth and nose as he breathed. It was difficult for him to breathe, so he could only keep speeding up his pace.

After an unknown amount of time, the thing behind him seemed to give up and not keep up, and Ah Jiu's collar button returned to normal, hanging lazily around his neck.

Qianwu took a deep breath and suddenly felt that his forehead was covered with sweat.After dripping with sweat, he felt cold all over his body, and seemed a little top-heavy.

Holding the lucky bag, he hesitated for a moment, but in the end he didn't drink any water. He lightly licked his chapped lips behind the mask and continued to move forward.

The fog makes people lose their way, the street signs are very disturbing, and there are monsters in the fog, which will pretend to be things in the memory of adults to make trouble.

After understanding these two laws, I have a bottom line in my heart.While walking, Qianwu thought about the difference between peaceful and fierce roads. He seemed to have a cold. After sweating through, he felt extremely damp and cold in the fog. He took out the clothes from his lucky bag and put on an extra one, and continued walking.

After an unknown amount of time, the road ahead crossed again, and a woman's figure appeared in the fog, with a thin figure and a pleated skirt on her lower body.Qianwu took two steps closer to realize that it was Qiqi. Qiqi stopped there as if she was looking at the signboard, and when she turned her head and saw him, she turned back indifferently.But soon, she turned around again, took a few steps in this direction uncertainly, and seemed to recognize him.

Qian Wu walked up silently, the distance between the two seemed to be only a hundred meters, but in fact they walked relatively for a long time before they finally came close.

"I actually met you." Qiqi sneered, "How is it?"

Qianwu stared at her neck and said nothing.

An abnormal red Sha spread from the neckline to the middle of the neck.He wasn't there when he had a quick meeting in the bamboo courtyard last night, he was sure.

"Don't look, you have it too." Qiqi said coldly: "Just now I met an unlucky guy, he was stabbed by Shan Lao last night, and he was drawn another bad card, his red Sha has spread to his nose and back of his hands. "

Qianwu asked calmly, "Where am I going?"

"It's in the middle of the neck." Qiqi compared her neck, "We are both flat and have no wounds, so it should be about the same."

Qian Wu paused, and then asked: "How many people did you meet?"

"Many of them, and a few of them are hallucinations made by some disgusting things. Most of the real players just glanced at them from a distance and went their separate ways." Qiqi said and looked around, "The fog is too big , you never know where different roads will intersect, and it may be normal for everyone to go in different directions. There are wrong road signs, do you know?"

"Yeah." Qianwu nodded.

"These roads are a bit weird. In fact, don't pay too much attention to the street signs. I just met the same person twice. He has been walking in the same direction without changing. This shows that we are essentially walking in the same direction, but my road is different. Detour." Qiqi sighed, "Perhaps the plague will spread more seriously to people who have been in the fog for a long time, but at least the copy will let us all go to the collection hall smoothly. I can only hold this belief."

"Boss, is there a prop?" Qiqi suddenly looked into his pocket.

Qianwu looked calm, "Yes."

"Players with high talents are indeed favored." Qiqi smiled, "I'm leaving, see you tonight."

Qianwu looked at her, "I have props, don't you want to be with me?"

"According to my experience in dozens of dungeons, opportunism will always pay a price." Qiqi raised her eyebrows, "Just now I saw two players walking side by side, and their red shackles spread rapidly, and their nerves are not good enough. When it comes to encouraging mutual help, I’m just as good as it gets.”

She said that she was about to leave, Qianwu saw her walking a few steps away, and couldn't help asking: "Have you seen anyone from our team?"

"Jiang Chen?" Qiqi smiled, "I've met it before, it doesn't seem to be very good."

Qian Wu suddenly took two steps forward, "What do you mean?"

"He was injured." Qiqi said, "Our roads are far apart. I only saw him walking with his hands on his shoulders from a distance, and he didn't get close."

"Where is it?" Qianwu immediately asked, "Which direction did we meet, how long ago?"

"Don't ask me. We are all players with the same nerve now, and I want to have a good relationship with you, but I really can't figure it out." Qiqi spread her hands, "You have seen it too, the fog will cover the distance and direction We just saw that we were within a hundred meters of each other, and we walked towards each other for so long before reaching the intersection. When I saw Jiang Chen, he was far away from me, and it was even harder to tell the direction. How many times have I turned around."

Qiqi put down a word and left, but Qianwu stood there for a long time.

He was a little anxious, looked through all the props, and only found that the rattle of Purgatory Noon was barely usable.He held the rattle and shook it gently, and every time he saw a figure in the distance, he stopped for a while to identify it carefully.

But those people were not Jiang Chen, Qian Wu felt more and more top-heavy as he walked, and the intervals of cold sweat seemed to be shortening.Even following the compass, he still felt that his strength was draining rapidly.

After an unknown amount of time, his stiff wrist shaking the rattle suddenly froze.

A familiar figure appeared in the fog within a hundred meters. That figure was sitting on the ground, covering his shoulders. The fog around him seemed darker than other places.Qianwu's breath suddenly shrank, and immediately ran in that direction.

The [-] meters was close at hand, but he ran for a long time, and his head was covered with cold sweat. His head felt like someone was hitting a ball, and it hurt.

Qian Wu finally ran to Jiang Chen's side, Jiang Chen sat on the ground with his eyes closed, frowning tightly.A faint smell of blood wafted through the mist, and the red Sha had spread to his fingertips and chin. The mask was torn off and thrown aside, and his breathing was very heavy.

Seemingly hearing footsteps, Jiang Chen opened his eyes alertly, the sharpness in his black eyes flashed, and then his expression suddenly loosened.

"I actually met it." Jiang Chen hooked the corner of his mouth weakly, "Don't get too close, the fog on my road is more poisonous."

"I've reached the intersection, and I can't tell whose way it is." Qianwu has squatted down beside him, and took out a water bag from the lucky bag, "You drink some water first. The hallucinations here are not very confusing, how did you suffer?" hurt?"

"Isn't it confusing?" Jiang Chen moved wearily, "I saw something like an ape and a wolf entwining you behind your back, as if trying to trick you into turning around. No matter how I shouted, you couldn't hear me. You I'm about to turn back, I just ran over and grabbed your hand when you tapped my shoulder with your paw."

Qianwu felt terrified, Jiang Chen didn't take his water bag, he just raised his hand and put it down weakly.

"Don't move, just drink it like this." Qian Wu said as he unscrewed the water bag for him and handed it to his mouth, Jiang Shen put his head over and drank water from his hand.

Jiang Chen seemed to be thirsty, he gulped it down, seeing that he drank half a bag, he stretched out his hand urgently to grab Qianwu's wrist and lift it up.

Qianwu watched his movements, and suddenly felt a little strange in the blink of an eye.

The moment before Jiang Chen grabbed his wrist, he suddenly retracted his hand.

Jiang Chen raised his eyebrows blankly, "What's wrong?"

"It wasn't long before I encountered that phantom. Even if peace and fierceness can meet, it wouldn't be so fast." Qian Wu suddenly stood up, frowned and asked softly, "Besides, are you so thirsty?"

Even if he was about to embark on a dangerous road alone, Jiang Chen put all the props and supplies in his hands.

The more serious the injury, the less presumptuous Jiang Chen would be. He would carefully drink only two sips, leaving the precious water to the unknown, or, to him.

Qian Wu took a deep look at the familiar face on the ground, and turned around decisively.

"Don't go." "Jiang Chen" behind him seemed to stand up and wanted to chase, "What's the matter with you, I'm your teammate."

As soon as the word "teammate" came out, Qianwu felt even colder all over his body. He almost turned around and ran, until the fog gradually faded behind him, and he probably returned to his own road before he could barely stop.

He supported his knees panting heavily, cold sweat trickled down his cheeks, the sound of breathing was hollow and heavy in his chest, his eyes began to blur, and he lowered his eyes slightly to rest on the spot.

Dizzy, but he was thinking, if the Ping Road is like this, what about the Fierce Road.

After a long time, Qianwu clenched the compass in his pocket, identified due west, and walked briskly again.

I have seen figures in the fog near or far countless times, including strange players, other people in the team, and even two or three "Jiang Chen".

He didn't stop any longer, and he stopped straightening those road signs.He just wanted to find the collection hall as soon as possible, maybe Jiang Chen had already arrived.

Jiang Chen may have arrived, it is the only belief.

I don't know how long I walked, sweat dripping, the whole person is as cold as soaking in an ice cave, and far away, there is another intersection with thick fog in the front left.On the other side of the intersection, a tall figure in a coat gradually became clear.

Qianwu stared at that Jiang Chen in exhaustion, and that Jiang Chen also stopped and stared at him.

That Jiang Chen also had a wound on his shoulder, but his blood color had already turned into deep red, soaking through the shoulder of the windbreaker. His hand was slightly hanging down, and he stood in the near and far fog to look over.

There doesn't seem to be any emotion in the eyes, calm, tired, and it seems that he can't lift his spirits.

They stared at each other for a moment, then looked away indifferently almost at the same time, and continued walking in the original direction.

But just two steps away, Qianwu suddenly realized something, and he suddenly turned around.

The person in the thick fog also looked back suddenly, and through the thick fog, their eyes met again.

Jiang Chen's Adam's apple twitched, he seemed to subconsciously want to get closer, but he stopped abruptly.They tacitly hesitated and paused almost at the same time, and then felt relieved after realizing that the other party had paused, and stepped forward quickly.

Qianwu started to run unconsciously in cold sweat, Jiang Chen's body was covered with dark blood, his steps were much heavier and slower than usual.Qianwu walked through the increasingly thick fog and finally stood in front of him.

The smell of blood enveloped the man, and the red sha spread to the fingertips, close to the chin.His hair was also drenched in cold sweat, he was panting slightly, his black eyes were quiet and deep, staring at him paranoidly.

Jiang Chen's lips were full of cracks, trembling slightly, looking at Qian Wu hesitant to speak.

Qianwu suddenly moved closer and bit his lips forcefully, they kissed in dizzy coldness, and it took a long time before they let go of each other.

"Finally found a real one." Jiang Chen hooked the corners of his lips wearily, stretched out his hand to gently caress Qianwu's side face, and paused with his fingertips on his neck, "Your condition is better, better than the others I met. All better."

Qian Wu was speechless, his hands were shaking violently, he took out his water bag, unscrewed it and handed it to Jiang Chen, "Drink water, I still have the antibiotics left by Zhong Liye."

Jiang Chen swallowed half of the medicine, took a sip of water, and swallowed it slowly for more than ten seconds.

He gently licked his chapped lips with that little bit of moisture, and after a long time he said hoarsely: "I was worried that you would be confused by the compass and road signs along the way."

"Drink two more." Qianwu's voice trembled, "You look very—"

"It's not good, I know." Jiang Chen smiled weakly, "But it's okay, it should last to the collection hall. Shall we go together?"

Qian Wu nodded his head almost subconsciously. After he nodded, the road behind him suddenly disappeared. He saw the redness on the tip of Jiang Chen's chin spread rapidly upwards, and his cheeks were also flushed.

But Jiang Chen's spirit seems to be better than when he first met, he seems to be completely relaxed.He held his hand and continued walking, and asked in a low voice, "Did you fall into any trap along the way?"

"No." Qianwu paused for a moment, "Almost."

Jiang Chen chuckled lightly when he heard the words, "I was tricked twice by 'you'."

Qian Wu was silent for a moment, and said in a low voice: "The nerve may be deliberate and gave you a bad sign. The hallucinations on your way may be more deceptive than the ones I encountered."

"Yeah." Jiang Chen looked calm, but held his hand tightly.

"It's okay." He said softly, "It's already a lottery to be able to meet again."

The author has something to say: This can be encountered.

Ha ha.

The little nerve twisted itself feebly.
