Infinite Nerves [Infinity]

More than 20 people stepped on the wooden floor corridor, making uneven creaking sounds under their feet.The small building is simple and elegant. On the right side of the corridor are the kitchen, warehouse, tea break and restaurant, and on the left side are the mountains and forests under the night and the distant lights.

"This is the outer corridor." Liuliu Xiaobu walked in front and explained softly, "Turn right at the end of the front and enter the inner corridor. The inner corridor is divided into two circles. The adults' living and soup pool are all in the inner corridor."

While talking, everyone has already turned into the inner corridor of the first circle.

"The outer porch is the wide side, and the inner porch is the long side." Peng Peng muttered beside him, "I didn't find it outside. The length of this house is so much longer than the width."

"It's not that I didn't notice it, but it's really not that exaggerated from the outside." Jiang Chen said calmly.

Peng Peng opened his mouth in surprise, and swallowed the words again when he saw Liu Liu's back.

There are soup pools on the left and right sides of the inner corridor, and house numbers are hung on the sliding doors pasted with Ming paper, and hot and humid white air continuously overflows from the cracks in the doors.

There was a faint fragrance in the air, and with their footsteps, the smell seemed to be changing.

"Each spring has its own effect, and some add some flowers and plants, so the smell is different. Adults can pay attention to the sign at the foot of the door." Liuliu explained in a soft voice.

It was only then that Qianwu noticed the small foot signs standing beside each sliding door.

The one at hand is "Siyuan Soup Ningshen"

Liuliu led everyone all the way to the end of the corridor, and said: "The first circle of the inner corridor is Tangchi, and then turn inward from here to enter the second circle of the inner corridor. The second circle is the bedroom, and the number of the bedroom and Tangchi are one by one. Correspondence. For the convenience of our service, after the adults choose the soup pool, they should choose the corresponding bedroom to stay in at night. The bedrooms are all the same, there is no distinction between good and bad.”

"Can the two of you have sex together?" Jiang Chen asked.

Qian Wu raised his eyebrows and glanced over, Jiang Chen had a natural expression, as serious as discussing important military matters.

Liuliu's cheeks that had just returned to normal were blushing again: "Yes, yes! But we open the pool according to the guests' choice on the first day, and the guests who share the soup pool must always share! The bedroom must also be shared!"

"En." Jiang Chen nodded indifferently, "It should be so."

The players were whispering in the corridor, Qu Ying and the three of them discussed for a while, and Qu Ying asked, "Liu Liu, are you the boss here?"

"Of course not." Liu Liuxiang was taken aback, covered his mouth with his palm and whispered, "Tangquan Town relies on hot springs for its prosperity, and the bosses are all full of fat. I'm just a pretty little girl."

Qianwu couldn't help laughing out loud.

"What are you laughing at?" Liuliu gave Qianwu a shy look, and said in a lower voice, "I'm serious, although I'm poor, I'm very cute."

"Where's your boss?" Zhong Liye asked, "Why don't we see the boss?"

"The boss is not often in the store. His private house has to go further up the mountain. There are many shops nearby and it is also close to the temple. He will not come down to visit the store on weekdays when he has nothing to do." Liuliu patiently explained, "Here to look at the store Yes, it’s just me, a cook, and a few workers who operate Tangquan later. If you have anything to do, just talk to me.”

While she was talking, she led everyone to visit the bedroom. Qianwu and the others slowed down a bit and fell behind the team. Peng Peng whispered: "She doesn't look like a BOSS."

"Well." Jiang Chen nodded, "The boss doesn't go down the mountain easily, maybe it's a hint, the boss will only be triggered when the death condition is triggered."

Qu Ying: "But this Liuliu should at least be an important NPC. We are tourists this time. Apart from staying here and enjoying ourselves, don't we have other tasks? She seems to really only treat us as tourists."

Qianwu didn't say a word, his eyes fell on the back of the girl through the crowd in front of him.

The girl's light pink kimono decorated the wooden house full of vitality, her voice was crisp and sweet, whether she was shy or joking, it seemed to be able to break free from the tension of the copy.

"Oh, isn't this simple?" She asked in a low voice, and said slyly, "Go for a walk on the mountain, and when you come back, you will find that our bedroom is the most magnificent! Not to mention anything else, this bed alone is better than others. The width of the store is more than half an inch!"

"Maybe it's not just an NPC." Qian Wu said lightly.

Jiang Chen looked at him, and he explained softly, "She is so vivid, none of the previous dungeon NPCs are like her."

As soon as the words were finished, Liuliu rushed in to show the guests the "ingenious" storage basket under the warming table. His foot tripped over the threshold, and a big horse fell into the room with a loud sound.

"..."

Liuliu quickly got up and straightened her dress, "I didn't see it, you didn't see anything!"

"..." Qianwu walked away with an expression on her face, and said calmly: "With her mentality, maybe she is not enough to be an NPC. Well, it all makes sense."

After the visit, everyone chose the soup room.

Peng Peng looked at those house numbers again, and was a little unsure when he ran back.

"Concentration, tranquility, sleep, fitness, deep thinking, eyesight, comfort, meridians, wisdom... are all very common effects. Alas, it is nonsense to put it bluntly. How useful is adding some flowers and plants to the bath water? Ah, it's just a packaging gimmick." He muttered, "It seems that there is no danger from the literal meaning, how should we choose?"

"We choose An Mian, you can do whatever you want." Jiang Chen had already made a decision without any effort, "Tang and Quan are separated, each be careful."

The players dispersed, Qu Ying entered "Quiet Qi", Zhong Liye chose "Deep Thought", Peng Peng was going to the "Shu Xin" opposite him, but Zhong Liye forcibly dragged him back and stuffed him into the "Kaizhi" next door. .”

"No matter how useful it is, one thing is one thing." Zhong Liye said, "Go and open your mind."

Peng Peng stood in the door and touched his nose aggrievedly, "I still need to open my mind??"

Before he finished speaking, the steaming white mist had already blurred his outline, and his voice was covered with moisture in the time it took to say a word, and he almost suffocated, and closed the door cursingly.

Jiang Chen pushed open the door of the soup pool of "An Mian", but the soup had no smell of flowers and spices, and pure white water mist was transpiring in the room.The humidity is extremely high, as if you are steaming in a sweat room, and what you inhale seems to be water.

There were two soaked bathrobes hanging on the hanger at the entrance, Jiang Chen and Qian Wu had just stepped in, and Liuliu rushed over.

"I, I help adults change their clothes!" She blushed and bowed her head.

Jiang Chen smiled calmly, "No need."

After finishing the words, he casually closed the sliding door, blocking the little girl in the upper head of the pervert from the door.

The house was filled with moisture, and the hot spring water was bubbling. Qianwu didn't say a word when he changed his bathrobe, until he walked barefoot into the soup pool and sat down, still silent.

Jiang Chen went to the place where the gurgling sound was the loudest, and found that the water inlet was under the floor corresponding to the central axis of the window.Stretching his hand into the soup pool, the water temperature was higher than he expected, especially near the water inlet.

"Sit here diagonally." Jiang Chen said, "It's a little less hot there."

After a long time, Qianwu said wearily: "It's all the same."

When he opened his mouth, his voice was completely hoarse, and the timbre muffled by water vapor was no longer clear, as if he had fallen into the depths of drunkenness, sandy and soft.

Qianwu soaked in the soup, his mind gradually went blank.

"Hot," he said. "Dead."

Jiang Chen laughed out of lack of boyfriend loyalty, walked up to him and went into the water barefoot, Qian Wu frowned and said: "Keep half a meter away, it's hot."

"Do you think this thing can sleep peacefully?" Jiang Chen asked seriously, "I don't seem to be able to feel the difference from ordinary hot springs, except that the water temperature is higher."

"I can." Qianwu said without desire or desire: "He passed out from the heat and slept peacefully."

Jiang Chen laughed so hard that he almost choked into the water, he was instinctively trying to get closer to grab his hand, but was forced to retreat by Qian Wu's expressionless gaze when he suddenly turned his head.

In the hazy water vapor, the artist lowered his eyes to rest his mind, his fair cheeks were full of peach color, and the peach color spread down the slender neck, and the loose bathrobe in the water exposed the collarbone, and the peach color spread all the way down.

Red lips beat blood, Qian Wu was so hot that he licked his lips again and again, and occasionally opened his eyes to look at the water in front of him, his black eyes were blank and shimmering.

The artist himself is a beautiful painting in the world.

Jiang Chen reached out and took out the lucky bag from the clothes next to him, and approached him.

When he was about to hit him, Qianwu opened his eyes and looked over vigilantly.

"Hot," he said.

Jiang Chen shook the ice pack in front of his eyes, "It's better to talk about something than nothing, you tie this up."

"Hmm." Qianwu's eyes loosened, "Okay."

He didn't want to move, and let Jiang Chen tie the ice pack on his forehead and tie a knot behind his head.

The small props in the nerves are stable, and even in the hot and humid soup room, the small ice pack still delivers coolness on the forehead for a long time.Qianwu shivered, feeling his sanity slowly return to his body.

Jiang Chen didn't leave beside him, and asked, "Do you have any ideas?"

"Yeah." Qianwu's voice was still rustling, and the ice pack controlled his thoughts of losing his temper. He slowed down and said, "I'm thinking about the next dungeon."

Jiang Chen was slightly stunned when he heard the words, and was about to ask something, Qianwu said again, "I'm not thinking about painting, but thinking about the key."

"key?"

Qianwu closed his eyes and reached out to touch the lucky bag, and took out the small golden key from inside.

The key lay quietly in his palm, he played it back and forth for a while, and said softly, "It's not really like a prop."

Jiang Chen: "How to say?"

"The previous props are all related to the original boss, but this key came all the time." Qianwu rubbed the bridge of his nose and sighed, "Do you remember the words on the merchant's coffin?"

Jiang Chen recalled for a moment, "Collector, merchant's coffin. The greedy die."

"Ah."

"What's wrong?"

Qianwu closed his eyes for a while and then said, "It's not wrong, it's just that there is an inexplicable sense of disobedience."

Jiang Chen was a little surprised, and thought for a moment, "Where is the violation? The merchant is the one who collects the paintings. If the paintings are the source of the plague, his greed will lead to death. The same is true for the players behind. The more desperately trying to get the paintings, the more dead they will be." quick."

"It is reasonable for players to die because of greed. Paintings are originally a burden to escape, but because they have a share, they are fascinated." Qianwu said, "But merchants use their wealth to collect favorite paintings. What's wrong? That's not greedy."

Jiang Chen was surprised for a moment, "It makes sense."

Qianwu closed his eyes and didn't say anything more. Jiang Chen adjusted the ice pack on his forehead for him, and after thinking about it, he concluded: "Three possibilities. Either one sentence is missing, the greedy person dies, and the elegant person dies. Either that sentence It only explains the player's escape mechanism, and has nothing to do with the merchant. Or... that sentence has other meanings."

Qian Wu closed his eyes as if he was about to fall asleep, his mouth was so dry from the heat that he didn't even want to say a word.

After struggling in his heart for as long as a century, he finally said again: "Which possibility do you think is greater?"

Jiang Chen said, "It's impossible to miss a word. Those words were engraved on the coffin of the businessman, and it doesn't seem to have anything to do with the businessman, so there is only-"

"Yeah." Qianwu held the key in his hand, "Yes, I'm too hot to think, probably that's how it feels, you've strung them together."

"Have you read the Codex?"

Jiang Chen nodded, "The survival rules of the Plague Village dungeon are only two sentences, one corresponds to the phantom in the fog - the indifference is true, and the other corresponds to taking the painting - the crime of pregnant."

"Look." Qian Wu said indifferently: "No one who is greedy will die. The crime of being pregnant is the essential trigger of death. Greed will only make people who deserve to die die faster."

It's too hot, and when he spoke the last half of the sentence, his voice was already hoarse.

Qianwu let out a long sigh, and paralyzed on the wall of the soup pool in despair.

"How long is it going to soak?" he asked.

Jiang Chen said, "Why don't we come out and go back to the bedroom to rest, there seems to be no rule about staying."

As soon as the voice fell, there was a knock on the door.

The sound of knocking on the door, although cautious, was a bit jumpy, making people immediately match up with that little girl.

"I'm here to deliver the soup and tea." Liu stayed outside and called, "My lords, can I come in?"

Jiang Chen and Qianwu didn't make a sound, and after a few seconds, Liuliu opened the door by himself and poked a head in.

"I'm in Oh," she said.

Still ignored, the little girl took off her wooden clogs rustlingly outside the threshold, and walked in barefoot, holding a large bamboo tray in her hand, on which was a green emerald teapot and two small tea bowls.

"What is this?" Jiang Chen asked.

"The herbal tea in Tangquan Town is for relieving summer heat. My lords, the volcanic soup should not be soaked for a long time. Please go back to your room to rest when you are satisfied." She said, kneeling softly by the pool and holding the tray respectfully. in front of them.

It seemed that she saw Qianwu and Jiang Chen's cheeks and necks that were steamed red when they soaked in the spring. She was too ashamed to raise her head, but she seemed very excited and trembling all over.

Jiang Chen stared at the jade teapot for a long time, and asked, "Do you have to drink it?"

"Of course I don't force it." Liuliu said, "It's just for the sake of the adults. The heat is hard to dissipate. Soak in volcanic soup overnight and have a sip of herbal tea. This is a custom handed down in Tangquan Town since ancient times."

"Soak in volcanic soup overnight, and take a sip of herbal tea." Qian Wu repeated with his eyes closed, and gently raised the corners of his lips.

The smile on the painter's lips was even more beautiful against the water mist, and he said softly: "It's a very stylish saying, drink it."

Jiang Chen nodded, picked up the teapot, poured half a bowl into each of the two small tea bowls, and handed one of the bowls to Qianwu.

The teacup is also emerald green all over, the tentacles are colder than the ice pack, and the herbal tea inside is slightly air-conditioned.

Qianwu only took a sip, his eyes lit up.

"Not bad." He couldn't help praising, "It's a bit sweet and sour, but the taste is very light, and the cold taste is very prominent."

"Your Excellency is someone who understands tea." Liuliu bowed his head and said obediently, "herbal tea is cool and refreshing. It doesn't need to have any taste. The only little taste is also to set off the coolness."

Jiang Chen drank half a bowl of tea, and suddenly felt his whole body unblocked.

It is a very wonderful feeling, a sip of herbal tea into the throat, like a sip of clear coffee after a sweet and greasy meal, dissolves all the dryness and greasy in front, and feels refreshed from the inside out.Even the heat just now has turned into coolness.

Qianwu lifted the pot and frowned.

"No more?" He lifted the lid of the pot in disbelief and turned it upside down, only two drops of herbal tea fell on the bamboo mat, leaving two dark water marks.

He looked at the water marks with some pity, and swallowed.

"I still want it." Qianwu said, "Can I have another pot?"

Liuliu nodded, and was about to speak, but Jiang Chen suddenly said: "No, drinking too much cold food after being hot can easily make you sick, please, we will go back to the room to rest immediately."

Liu Liu heard the words and said with a smile: "Understood, the two adults can do their own thing."

After the person left, Jiang Chen turned his head and met Shang Qianwu's gloomy eyes.

"What do you mean?" Qianwu was very dissatisfied, "It's just a sip of tea."

"I just said that greedy people die, so I forgot it so soon." Jiang Chen sighed, corrected the ice pack on his forehead that escaped again, and said, "Maybe I'm too literal, but that sentence, one sip of iced herbal tea, one sip, always Let me mind a little."

Qianwu suddenly looked at him with black eyes shining, a little dazed.

"Is there such a meaning?"

"Not sure." Jiang Chen shook his head, "But it's the first night after all, so be careful."

All the players came back to their rooms one after another, and Liuliu had already prepared everyone's beds.All the beds are used to sleep on the floor, and there are two sets in the "An Mian" room.The distance between the two beds was about a fist, which seemed to make people imagine the struggle of the little girl when she made the bed.

Since Jiang Chen was short-tempered and had a high temperature, Qianwu decisively moved his bed out half an arm, lay flat on the quilt, closed his eyes for a moment, turned over silently, lifted the quilt, and lay directly on the ground.

Peng Peng and others passed by the door, tut-tsk said: "Master Qianwu is still so afraid of the heat."

Zhong Liye looked worried, "I've never seen a person who is so afraid of heat, it's a pity that I don't have a junior who knows how to behave, otherwise I can ask him to see a doctor for Qianwu."

"I'm not sick." Qianwu closed his eyes and said coldly, "Go out."

Peng Peng whispered to Jiang Chen, "Look, as long as you enter this very hot dungeon, the two big bosses in the team will become only one big boss. Qianwu will automatically lose in battle, and the young commander will have to hold on." ah."

"Say a few more words, I won't object if he wants to drive you out of the team." Jiang Chen raised his eyebrows, "Have you drunk all the herbal tea?"

"Drinked."

"Drinked."

Qu Ying asked, "The tea is very good, what's the problem?"

"We can't tell." Jiang Chen's tone paused, his eyes swept around, and he said in a low voice: "Don't drink too much, be careful."

The crowd nodded.

The lights in the wooden villa were dimmed for most of the night, and it was late at night. Liuliu yawned and held a lamp, going door to door to check whether the door was closed, and said good night to the guests.

Everyone in the team dispersed, Jiang Chen tightened the door and lay beside Qianwu.

Qianwu has been very quiet, eyes closed, as if dead.

"Are you okay." Jiang Chen looked at the ceiling and said softly, "I can't even hear you panting."

"Hot." Qianwu seemed to know only this word.

He frowned and closed his eyes for a long time before he said again: "I really can't believe that the bedroom is not much cooler than the soup room. There is no air conditioner, and there is no fan. How do people here live?"

Jiang Chen sighed, got up rustlingly, went to the tea table and took a bamboo tray casually.

Hearing the sound, Qianwu struggled to open his eyes and looked over, but saw that he cut the tray with a saber, smoothly cut off the upper two corners, and cut out a handle shape on the lower side.

"What are you doing?" Qianwu didn't respond.

"Fan you." Jiang Chen said, stretching out the ugly fan and gently fanning it beside his cheek, "Hurry up and sleep, it will be fine when you fall asleep."

The wind from the fan is not small, but it is also lukewarm, not cool.

But Qianwu felt a little nostalgic, he looked at Jiang Chen, and after a while, he looked away and hummed.

The thin wind swept across his cheeks, Jiang Chen sat beside him and fanned him.Mr. Commander was obviously also drowsy due to the heat. He fanned his fan while flipping through the code of nerves.

After an unknown amount of time, Qian Wu fell asleep, and when his consciousness was hazy, he felt Jiang Chen put down his fan and fumbled back to his side to lie down, and then indulged in sleepiness.

The heat has been spreading into the dream, it is a heat that can swallow people, and it intensifies, making people restless.

After an unknown amount of time, Qianwu could vaguely feel sweat dripping down his cheeks, and he opened his eyes amidst the slight itchiness.

The hut was dark and quiet, and Jiang Shen was sleeping beside him, breathing more heavily than usual, perhaps because of the heat.

Qian Wu yawned wearily, and was about to turn over and try to sleep again, but suddenly heard a strange sound, coming from another bedroom separated by a wall on the first floor.

It looks like some wild animal is eating meat, its teeth cutting through the muscles, making a rustling sound.The meat is still sandwiched between the bones, and the crunching sound when the bones are chewed is very scary.

After chewing and chewing happily, there were several swallowing sounds from the next door, like flesh and blood mixed with bones, and then the thing hiccupped.

Qianwu was terrified, even most of the heat had disappeared, he was about to get up, when the sleeping Jiang Chen suddenly turned over, holding his hand in the dark.

"Don't move, continue to sleep." Jiang Chen closed his eyes and said in a very soft voice, "There is also one outside our room door, I hesitated for a long time."

The author has something to say: open the door.

The little nerve sneered and said, it's me.
