Altar of Infinity

The two stayed in Niu's field for a long time, and they returned to Niu's house at night.

Everyone else had already had dinner, Xie sent two bowls of noodles for Jiang Jichu to make do with.

As a result, Jiang Jichu liked his cooking very much, and even ate noodles and soup, which made him suspect that Jiang Jichu and him acted just to get a meal.

Perhaps the altar was set up on purpose. They didn't find any useful medicine in Niujia Village. Jiang Jichu's wound had to be disinfected and cleaned every day.

Under the dim light in the room, the gauze was circled around, and the hideous wound no longer bleeds, and the color is a normal deep red.

Xie Ji had to sigh with emotion about Jiang Jichu's physical fitness, and the wound did not deteriorate after such a toss.

While treating Jiang Jichu's wound, he was thinking about Niu Kuyin's scheduled grave.

According to his and Jiang Jichu's deduction, Niu Kuyin's wish is to drink Niu Er's blood to prolong his life.

But Niu Er drained the blood in his body by himself, so Niu Kuyin needs to suck and store their blood to achieve his goal by himself.

The boss of the level is Niu Kuyin, but the most important character is actually Niu Er.

They thought that Niu Er's body was hidden in Niu Da's tomb, but there was only one Niu Wei in the tomb.

Where is Niu Er?

He was thinking about something in his head, the movements of his hands were not chaotic, Jiang Jichu was also very cooperative, even if he rubbed alcohol directly on the wound, he didn't make a sound, only trembling reflexively when the pain was unbearable, his endurance was amazing.

When the gauze was rewrapped, there was a knock on the door.

Xie Ji: "Come in."

After one afternoon, Ban Sui's tears stopped long ago, but his eyes were swollen from crying, looking like two red walnuts from a distance.

Ban Sui gave Jiang Jichu a smile that was uglier than crying: "Brother Jiang."

Jiang Jichu cast his gaze away and asked silently.

"I know it's dangerous tonight, Brother Jiang and Brother Xie are not obliged to help me, but, can you..." Ban Sui mustered up his courage, "Can you lend me the knife, I promise, I will return it to you in the morning !"

Ban Sui overheard Wang Dan and Wang Liang discussing that mission weapons were not allowed in the level, but Jiang Jichu was able to carry a long knife with him, which was obviously a prop he got lucky in a certain advanced level.

If he could borrow Jiang Jichu's knife, he might be able to fight Niu Kuyin.

After hearing Ban Sui's intention, Jiang Jichu refused without hesitation: "No."

Ban Sui knew that the matter of borrowing the knife would not go smoothly, but he didn't expect that Jiang Jichu didn't even think about it, so he hurriedly fought for it: "Just tonight, Brother Jiang, please, I'll pay it back tomorrow morning, so you can save me Go! I thank you forever!"

Jiang Jichu: "Life and death have fate."

Ban Sui was older than Jiang Jichu by one round, and he was obsessed with being the brother of Xiaomankou just to survive, but Jiang Jichu was still reticent, and he couldn't help but feel angry.

The fists held on his chest for begging were clenched tighter and tighter, as if he was going to grab him in the next moment.

But Jiang Jichu's expression was always indifferent, and he didn't even make any defensive preparations because of Ban Sui's change.

After a while, Ban Sui gritted his teeth and left the room.

Xie Ji propped his chin and leaned on the table, taking a panoramic view of the confrontation between the two.

Jiang Jichu had no obligation to help a stranger, but he also didn't explain that the long knife couldn't chop Niu Kuyin.

The young man in front of him doesn't care about the opinions of the outside world, nor about the people and things in the outside world. The only thing that can make him fluctuate in the past few days is his brother's relic, and he acts with him to ensure that he lives to take revenge.

Xie Ji didn't think Jiang Jichu was wrong, but he didn't like such a person.

He prefers someone like Xie Quan, who is kind, honest, and has enthusiasm and hope for life even when he is seriously ill.

They may not be able to become close comrades-in-arms in the future, but at least in this level, they can cooperate boldly with confidence.

A night without dreams.

In the early morning of the next day, Xie Ji saw Ban Sui's drained corpse outside the coffin shed.

They stayed in Niujia Village for three days, and an average of one person died every day. Now there are only eight left.

It was cloudy and rainy for several days, and it was easy to wait for the sunny day, but except for Jiang Jichu's cold face, the rest of the faces were not very good-looking.

No one knows when they will become the next Ban Sui.

Xie Ji originally suspected that Ban Sui was a cover-up thrown by Niu Kuyin, so that he and Jiang Jichu could relax their vigilance and sneak around to find them at night.

It seems too much to worry about.

Today is the day of Niu Kuyin's burial, and the villagers called by Uncle Niu to help came early, before they even had time to find a piece of cloth to cover Ban Sui's face, the body was dragged away by the villagers.

Xie Ji and Jiang Jichu stood side by side: "Why Ban Sui?"

Jiang Ji was stunned for a moment, and quickly realized: "You said the accident during the mourning?"

Xie Ji: "Yes. The boss should have its own rules. The first victim wanted to forcefully leave the level. He came to me because I spilled rice pudding on him. He killed Xiaohui because he 'offended'. Ban Sui violated the rules again. which one?"

"Just to add, in most cases, bosses have their own rules for killing people. Occasionally there are no high-level levels, but there must be novice levels." Jiang Jichu asked, "Is it the order?"

Xie Ji: "It's not in order, Ban Sui is the fifth mourner, and there are four more people behind."

Ban Sui's behavior during mourning was no different from that of Wang Dan and Wang Liang.

What did he miss?

When he and Jiang Jichu were searching the cellar, what did Ban Sui do?

Images of mourning flashed through Xie Ji's mind one by one, and he suddenly said, "The spirit table, who prepared the spirit table?"

When Wang Dan heard Xie Ji's question, he suddenly realized: "It's Ban Sui!"

Jiang Jichu: "But Uncle Niu has seen the spirit table and didn't reject it."

Xie Ji: "Uncle Niu is just an npc who promotes the development of the plot. The matter of Shouren is a secret. He will not know all the trigger points of death."

Wang Dan: "What's wrong with the spirit table?"

Xie Ji: "I've heard of a custom that in the bowl in front of the funeral table, the things the deceased liked to eat should be placed."

Wang Dan: "I've also heard that Ban Sui asked the villagers at that time, and all the fruits on display were Niu Kuyin's favorite, that's right."

Xie Ji shook his head: "Niu Kuyin likes, not these."

It is the blood of Shouto.

Ban Sui placed the wrong sacrifice, so he was chosen by Niu Kuyin.

There are traps everywhere in the level of the altar, he must be more careful in the future.

Wang Dan had already seen the cellar, although he was a bit slow, he figured out the key point, and sighed: "Niu Er's whereabouts are unknown, and the sacrifice is a pit of death."

Xie Ji said in his heart that he is not guaranteed to die.

Although Niu Er's whereabouts are unknown, there is blood left in the cellar, and at worst it will scrape the wall off.

Or simply threaten Uncle Niu with a knife, Niu Kuyin will not attack the villagers, and ask Uncle Niu to send the villagers to prepare sacrifices.

Or maybe he was good enough to deal with Niu Kuyin at night.

Careful, bold, strong enough.

Only in this way can you survive in the level after level of the altar.

·

The villagers who Xie sent a notice the day before yesterday to attend the funeral arrived one after another, and Uncle Niu, who was the elder, led them to receive them.

Xie Ji didn't like Niu Kuyin very much, let alone wearing hemp and filial piety.

It rains often in Niujia Village of Tuofu, even in summer it is not too hot. He and Jiang Jichu carried a bag of melon seeds and a plate of fruit, and swaggered back to the room where they usually live. Opening the air, the two of them leaned against the end of the bed and watched the villagers coming and going outside the house, really enjoying themselves.

Xie Ji took the orange and peeled off the skin with his slender fingers. The air was filled with a sweet fruity smell: "Niu Kuyin will be buried today. After today, there are three days left."

Jiang Jichu didn't eat anything, and only responded with a glass of warm water: "It won't be that simple."

"Yeah, it won't be that simple." Xie Ji tore off a piece of toilet paper and wiped his fingers dry after peeling the oranges. "There are currently three known ways to clear the customs. First, survive the difficult three days; second, complete Niu Kuyin's wish, third, get rid of him."

Then he turned his head to look at Jiang Jichu: "Great artist, what do you think?"

Jiang Jichu: "Fix it."

Xie Ji's smile became more and more obvious.

Zhenling didn't know what would happen for three days, almost equivalent to sitting and waiting to die.

Niu Kuyin bears several lives, and fulfilling his wish is to help the evildoers.

Therefore, his plan was the same as Jiang Jichu's, to get rid of Niu Kuyin.

Shouren's defense is too high, and he is invulnerable to fire and water, but it is not impossible to solve it.

To fight magic, use magic itself.

Xie Ji: "Niu Er's blood has been drained, but Niu Kuyin hid his body, which shows that Niu Er is still in a state where he can be 'resurrected'. To solve Niu Kuyin, we have to find Niu Er. "

Jiang Jichu: "The checkpoint will not set up a dead end. Niu Er must be within our reach, but we have ignored it."

But Niu's house has been searched all over by them, even the grave of Niu Kuyin's eldest son has been torn open, where can Niu Er be hidden?

They discussed each sentence in the house, and the funeral outside was also carried out step by step under the control of Uncle Niu.

Xie Ji had seen the list of people who came to attend the funeral today. There were at least twenty tables outside. Uncle Niu specially hired someone to cook.

The chef brings his own ingredients and utensils, but the place has to be borrowed from Niu’s house, which is in the yard outside.

Xie Ji glanced out bored. The bearded chef poured the ingredients of the cold dish into a stainless steel basin with a diameter of 90cm. He stretched his hands into it and stirred it. After the stirring was completed, he picked up a thin and long noodle and put it into his mouth. Smash the taste.

Probably unsatisfied, the chef threw back the half-eaten Fenpi and continued to stir with both hands.

Xie Ji felt his stomach churning at the thought of what he was going to eat for lunch today.

It's not that he has never eaten rural rice, but eating half of it is too much to test his endurance.

Jiang Jichu's face was also not very good-looking, and he pursed his lips to discuss with Xie Ji: "I remember there are pigs, ducks and chickens in the backyard."

Xie Ji laughed: "It's too troublesome to slaughter a pig, which would you like to eat, duck or chicken?"

After receiving Xie Ji's answer, Jiang Jichu's expression returned to normal: "Anything is fine."

Xie Ji: "Then get a salt-baked chicken. If it's a duck, it's still a stew. How about the saltiness last time?"

A hint of subtlety flashed in Jiang Jichu's eyes, he fixedly looked at Xie Ji, and the latter still had that terribly handsome face with a wide and warm smile on his lips, no different from the past.

The words swirled in his throat and were quickly swallowed.

He and Xie Ji are now just people who act together temporarily to pass the customs. They benefit from each other and take what they need. They are not even considered companions or friends.

Whatever problem Xie Ji has, it has nothing to do with him.

Jiang Jichu turned his gaze out of the window, and said calmly, "Just right."

Time passed in the conversation between them.

The funeral is about to begin.
