Altar of Infinity

Jiang Jichu's speech has always been without emotional ups and downs, but now he is more serious and solemn than before.

Although Xie Ji didn't know which checkpoint Jiang Jichu had reached the highest, he was definitely not low. He must have discovered something in the process of breaking through the checkpoint to say something like this.

He wanted to ask more clearly, but Jiang Jichu buried his head and continued to work, apparently not intending to explain.

Four hours passed in a blink of an eye, the ten corpses were placed, and it was time to get off work.

The two of them were sweating in the single-digit temperature. Xie Ji only hoped that the food provided by the funeral home cafeteria would be nutritious enough.

The two changed their clothes, washed their hands in the morgue, and headed towards the cafeteria.

There is no need to rush to eat, and Xie sent to observe the situation of the funeral home again on the way.

During the four hours they worked, no employee walked past the glass window. Even though it was meal time, the funeral home was very quiet, and even the tasks were issued by the system, as if there were only ten of them alive.

Today is the first day, with the fewest clues and the easiest way to step on mines.

Xie Ji: "Niu Kuyin targeted us because we provoked him first, this time he won't be on the night shift right away."

Jiang Jichu: "Crow mouth."

Xie Ji smiled lightly: "I'm very lucky. Besides, the system deliberately mentions that one does not allow digging graves, and the other does not allow bringing control knives. It is clearly aimed at us. If we are asked to work night shifts as soon as we come up, then the checkpoint will be broken." Too off balance, so you'll probably get a good night's sleep tonight and let your wounds heal."

Jiang Jichu subconsciously wanted to hold the knife, but the knife had already been taken away. He raised his hand secretly, and put it down again secretly. In the end, he could only choke out a sentence: "Take care of yourself."

The two were close, Xie Ji of course noticed Jiang Jichu's small movements, and couldn't help guessing in his heart.

Jiang Jichu, he couldn't be shy...

If some people have not been treated well, it is easy to fail to give normal feedback to positive emotions such as care and praise, and will avoid, and even show resistance and disgust.

But Jiang Jichu also has an older brother who has a good relationship, so it stands to reason that he wouldn't be too lacking in love.

The funeral home only has ten employees. Relatively speaking, the cafeteria is very spacious. There are ten large dining windows, twenty tables, and eighty stools. All the lights are turned on. It is nothing like an ordinary company cafeteria. the difference.

When they came to the cafeteria, they found that three people had already sat down to eat, and they were sitting at a table talking quietly, obviously they knew each other.

Xie Ji glanced at the ten large windows. There are meat and vegetables, soup and vegetables, Chinese and Western, and the variety is complete.

He planned to serve a bowl of soup first, and when he walked to the window, he took a look inside to see if there were any employees inside.

As a result, several mobile robots were seen.

The height of the robot is about 1.7 meters by visual inspection. There is a wire on top of the head. The facial features are simple, but the body is composed of normal human proportions, and even wears clothes and aprons.

They shuttle regularly in the window, and they can smoothly bypass when they meet their companions.

Since Xie Ji entered the funeral parlor, he felt that the decoration facilities in the parlor were all technological and futuristic, and even the dinner was made by robots.

In this way, there is a higher probability that there are only ten of them alive in the museum.

He smiled at Jiang Jichu who was observing with him, "It's quite cute."

Jiang Jichu didn't understand how cute this kind of thing with light bulb eyes and zipper mouth was so cute, so he silently made a spoonful of spicy beef for himself.

The two of them walked around the window with the dinner plate, and when they came to the end, Jiang Jichu frowned slightly.

Xie Ji: "What?" He followed Jiang Jichu's gaze, and there was nothing under the sign of sweet and sour pork.

Xie Ji in the novice pass has already figured out Jiang Jichu's taste, he likes sweet and spicy.

He put the small bowl of sweet and sour fish on his tray on Jiang Jichu's tray: "I haven't touched it yet."

Jiang Jichu: "You don't want to eat?"

Xie Ji smiled and said, "I eat everything the same." He casually took another bowl of braised eggplant.

They were looking for a seat with their dinner plates, but Jiang Jichu didn't move his chopsticks. After hesitating for a moment, he said, "The liquid of Niu Kuyin has a strengthening effect on all aspects of the body. How do you feel?"

Xie Ji: "When you say that, it seems to be a bit of a feeling, but it's not obvious, how about you?"

Jiang Jichu shook his head: "I am seriously injured, and the effect is on recovery."

Xie Ji kept paying attention to the work card on his chest while eating. The system said that night shift workers would be randomly selected every day, and the night shift hours were from [-]:[-] pm to [-]:[-] the next day.

It is never too late to draw for night shift work.

"Hey, why do I think the dishes fried by this robot are a bit salty?" The voice came from a man beside Xie Ji, and the man sitting opposite to him was the man who had run into trouble with Jiang Jichu.

Xie Ji had memorized the names and looks of the remaining people when he took his employee card. One of them was Yao Shun and the other was Wei Zi, and they formed a team because of the rules.

Yao Shun tasted the dishes on his plate again: "It's just right, the fish-flavored shredded pork is better than restaurants, do you have a bland taste?"

Wei Zi's hand holding the chopsticks was shaking slightly. He was working in the incineration room in the afternoon, and he hadn't recovered yet, so he had nothing to say to relieve the pressure: "I really have a bland taste... well, I don't know when I will be able to Get out, brother, how did you get in?"

Yao Shun: "I have a bad heart, I want to live, and I'm here as soon as I open my eyes after falling asleep, what about you?"

Wei Zi: "I want to make a fortune. If I knew the altar is so dangerous, I might as well work part-time outside to deliver food."

"Who said it wasn't," Yao Shunzheng echoed, "Wait! Wei Zi, your employee is stuck!"

Xie Ji, who heard the conversation between the two, immediately looked at his employee card again. Seeing that there was no movement, he went to Jiang Jichu's again, and there was no change.

But Wei Zi yelled, and violently took off the employee card from his chest like a ghost and threw it out.

Wei Zi's employee card happened to fall at Xie Ji's feet. He bent down to pick it up, and saw the word "night shift" behind the job post on it.

Today's night shift draw has already started.

He returned the employee card to Wei Zi, but Wei Zi refused to take it, and a big man shook like chaff: "I don't want to be on the night shift!! I just passed by the morgue, and there are all corpses in there!"

Xie Ji had no choice but to put the employee card on Wei Zi's desk.

He and Jiang Jichu stayed in the morgue all afternoon, it was really not a good place, it felt gloomy during the day, and it might be so spooky at night.

At the same time, another trembling female voice sounded from the cafeteria: "I don't want to... I don't want to..."

Except for Wei Zi and the girl, everyone else had only happiness on their faces.

Their employee card will only grant the authority to open the door of the relevant workplace after extracting the daily work content. At night, they go to a place like the morgue to work the night shift. , Calling the ground is not working.

What's more, even if it is called, who can guarantee whether it is a person or something lying under a white cloth.

Wei Zi stood up from his seat and looked at the diners beggingly: "Is there anyone who can change shifts with me?! I will help him with work tomorrow! I can do anything! I am afraid of the dark, I am really afraid of the dark! I have that What claustrophobia!"

No one paid attention to Wei Zi.

Entering the altar, life and death depend on fate.

The first night is when the rules are at their least clear, and the death rate is insanely high, who wants to take risks for strangers?

Wei Zibeng's nerves were hovering on the verge of breaking all afternoon, his eyes were bloodshot, and at this moment someone said: "I see that there are at least fifty corpses in the morgue. They won't all stand up at night, right?"

Xie Ji followed the sound and saw a middle-aged man in his early forties with Zhang Weizi's worried face on his face, but he had no good intentions.

The first night risk is large, but not 100% mortality.

But if Wei Zi is really dead, we can deduce level-related information from his death.

Wei Zi shivered again. In desperation, he thought of the principle that asking for help in a crowd is not as good as asking for help alone. He shook his head greatly, trying to find the strong and talkative one among the remaining nine, and he locked on Xie Ji after a while.

Wei Zi strode towards Xie Ji: "Brother! You and this brother are masters at first glance! How many levels have you passed?"

Xie Ji: "Just passed the novice level."

Wei Zi: "?" The long knife of the young man next to him is obviously a high-end prop!Everyone in the conference room saw it, and he wasn't blind!

Wei Zi thought that Xie Ji was unwilling to help: "Brother! Don't lie to me. You two gods have come down to earth, just do good deeds and help me. For the rest of my life, I will definitely recite sutras for you two every day!"

Although Xie Ji is kind, he is not stupid, nor is he a holy father: "I have just passed the novice level, believe it or not, as for the night shift, there is nothing I can do to help."

Wei Zi wanted to say more, but Jiang Jichu impatiently put the soup bowl back on the table: "Are you finished?"

Wei Zi: "I..."

Jiang Jichu inserted the chopsticks into the table, and the sound of the wood piercing through the iron sheet scared Wei Zi back two steps.

He said succinctly: "Go away."

Xie Ji himself could reject Wei Zi, but it was interesting to see Jiang Jichu stand up for him, at least the sweet and sour fish at night was worth it.

Although Jiang Jichu probably took the opportunity to vent his anger.

He smiled and said, "A new pair of chopsticks?"

Jiang Jichu: "I'm full."

Xie Ji: "Then go for a walk."

They ignored Wei Zi, delivered the plate to the designated location and left together.

Taking a walk after a meal is good for your health, and by the way, you can observe the situation in the museum in detail.

The funeral parlor is large and wide, and all the places including the cemetery are in one building, and you need to swipe your card everywhere. Xie Ji went shopping and couldn't find the door to go out.

Unlike the novice level, there is no clear time limit for this level, and there is not even an npc except the system and the robot. If you want to leave, you have to bury your corresponding columbarium in the grave.

He didn't think the levels would give them a lot of time.

He stayed for a while when passing the cemetery. Unlike other workplaces, the cemetery is more like an indoor garden. The gate is a large iron gate, and the wall is only half the height of the floor. Enter.

They didn't go shopping for too long, and returned to the staff dormitory after it was completely dark.

There was a long row in the dormitory, but Xie Ji saw the names of himself and Jiang Jichu on the LCD screen in front of the third door, which should have been automatically arranged for them by the system after forming a team.

The dormitory conditions are more than one grade better than hotels in slum areas. The interior is clean and tidy, with two beds side by side, and there are laundry in the closet.

Xie Ji cleaned up after taking a shower, and finally had time to sit at the end of the bed and look at his phone.

The inside is cleaner than the room, there is no software, not even a photo album, and the only remaining text messages and call functions are very directional.

Xie Ji opened the text message, and there was only one chat partner in it, and the note was "Baby".

[Baby: Our business has been discovered. 】

[Me: Then simply break the engagement, you break the engagement today, we will get married tomorrow! 】

Thank you for posting:?

Cheating script? !

Chapter 20 Widow Literature, I think there are at least [-] dead bodies in the morgue, and they won't all stand up at night, right?

Xie Ji narrowed his eyes slightly, he wanted to see what other tricks he could play in the first level.

【Baby: But the family has already collected their money, saying that even if he dies, they will send me to be a widow. 】

【Me: I will pay back the money for you. 】

【Baby: No, I'm a man, and I have to take on my responsibilities! 】

【Me: But I am also your man, I want to share the burden for you! 】

Thank you for posting:?

What developed in the first level is not only technology, but also social culture, and same-sex marriages have emerged.

He took a sip from the water glass at hand, and continued to scroll down.

[Me: Baby, why don't you reply to the message? 】

[Me: Baby, why don't you answer the phone? 】

[Baby: I just went to get the pregnancy test report. 】

Thank you for posting:? !

【I:? ! 】

[Me: Pregnancy test report? 】

[Baby: My sister's. 】

[Me: I was scared to death. 】

【Baby: I have already talked to his mother, and his mother agreed with me to dissolve the engagement, but asked me to work as a volunteer in a funeral home in the suburbs for a period of time. 】

[Me: Why don't I just pay you back the money and be a volunteer. 】

【Baby: Although I'm still in school, I also have a part-time job. I don't want to spend your money all the time, and volunteering is very meaningful. 】

[Me: Then I will accompany you to the funeral home in the suburbs, baby, no matter what happens, I will always be by your side. 】

【Baby: What about your company? 】

【Me: Don't worry, I have my own solution. 】

[Baby: You are so kind, meeting you at the dinner that day was the luckiest thing in my life. 】

Xie Ji read the content of the text message in a complicated mood, and had a general understanding of his identity.

——A CEO who saw eye to eye with a married man at a dinner party and privately hooked up with him to accompany him to his death.

But it wasn't just his own identity that made him feel complicated. Judging from the content of the text message, if he was at the funeral home, then his "baby" should be there too. The most likely thing is...

The bathroom door was opened from the inside, and Jiang Jichu wiped his head with a towel while looking for water on the tea table.

Jiang Jichu's black hair was messy, his cheeks were reddened by the heat, and there were still drops of water hanging on his eyelashes. Most of his usual temperament of not being allowed to enter was cut off, and he looked like a beautiful and lovable male college student.

Xie Ji felt more and more ominous: "I just read some information from a text message on my phone."

Jiang Jichu: "What?"

Xie Ji: "In short, a man fell in love with the male fiancé of a male friend at a dinner party. Now that the fiancé is dead, the two came to this funeral home together."

Jiang Jichu said "Oh": "Widow's Adventure Literature."

Xie Ji: "...you said it yourself."

Jiang Jichu: "?"

Under Xie Ji's gesture, Jiang Jichu checked his text messages, his face turned green and then pale, and the beautiful and lovable male college student transformed into a killing god again.

Xie Ji: "Hey, it's just the identity of the character. Look, in this way, your dead... I mean, the body of your dead fiancé is likely to be in the funeral home, and your corresponding body will be there. Good thing Ah, then just find his name or picture."

Jiang Jichu gritted his teeth: "This is a good thing for you."

Xie Ji: "Calm down, calm down. Do you have any other clues on your phone?"

Jiang Jichu directly handed over the mobile phone to Xie Ji, and let him look at it himself.

Xie Ji took a few glances, it was the conversation between the two of them, only one remark was "baby" and the other was "dear", which gave him goosebumps.

There is no more content, Jiang Jichu's corresponding corpse should be "fiancé", and his own corresponding corpse has not yet been found.

It's only the first day, so don't rush.

Xie Ji put away his phone and decided to have a talk with Jiang Jichu tonight.

In all fairness, Jiang Jichu lacks empathy, doesn't speak up when he has something to say, and likes to fight hard. As far as team formation is concerned, Jiang Jichu is actually not his ideal type.

But at least Jiang Jichu is strong enough, and he has never been ambiguous in business matters. Besides, the two have been forced to form a team, and there is still a long way to go together in the future. In a place full of crises like the altar, he still hopes that the relationship within the team can be more harmonious .

Xie Ji sat down at the table and filled Jiang Jichu's glass with half a glass of water: "I have a question, I hope you can answer me directly."

Jiang Jichu sat opposite Xie Ji, and he waited for Xie Ji's next words.

The irritating atmosphere gradually dissipated, Xie Ji was born with a smile, which easily made people feel kind and good-tempered, but when he was serious, he always had the aura of controlling everything.

He and Xie Ji are equal teammates, specially controlling the restrained aura, and the tone of voice is not oppressive, but it cannot be avoided.

"You said that you don't form a team, and that you need to form a team of five to leave the altar.

"But I remember that you wanted to leave the altar.

"Me too. If five people are really needed to leave the altar, then we will probably have new teammates in the future. I want to know your attitude.

"Are you unwilling to form a team because you don't want to communicate with others, or are you resisting forming a team because of something that happened?"

Jiang Jichu's slightly long black hair was brushed until it was half dry, and the hair on his forehead hung down obediently under his eyebrows, casting a small shadow on his eyelashes.

The displeasure caused by the text message just now faded away. He quietly listened to Xie Ji's question, and unconsciously moved his knuckles on his lap.

He looked up at the man across from him.

Xie Ji is a standard handsome guy, the kind that men, women and children will like, especially when the indoor lighting is sufficient and they are so close, everyone has to say something pleasing to the eye.

It wasn't a condescending questioning, nor was it relying on his seniority to look down on him, Xie Ji just looked at him intently, the two-point arc on his lips eased the momentum around him, treating him as a teammate who needed to communicate well.

A long time ago, someone saw him that way.

Then the man was lying on the cold ground, and his hands were covered with blood, his blood, that man's, many people's.

For the first time, he discovered that he, too, was afraid.

Jiang Ji touched the watch he was carrying with him at the beginning, and the cold touch quickly brought him back to his senses.

He said softly: "Because of betrayal."

Xie Ji: "By your teammates?"

Jiang Jichu pulled away his emotions and described as objectively as possible: "We were only one step away from leaving, but some of us were cowardly and cowardly, and betrayed at a critical moment for our own self-interest. The entire team suffered heavy losses. Of the five people, only one survived. .”

Thank you for posting.

Because of the betrayal of his teammates, Jiang Ji failed to break through the level at the beginning. Once he fell from the eve of the dawn to the beginning of the night, he ran into him at the novice level.

He called up the book of birth and death, and placed it on the table between them.

"We share the book of life and death, as long as one of them dies, the rest will not only be free, but also earn points.

"In other words, we are teammates and the ones the opponent needs to watch out for the most.

"But Jiang Jichu, I assure you, unless you want to put me to death, I will not do anything to you.

"I'm sure you won't either.

"We have the same goal. If the rumors that you have to gather five people to leave are true, I hope you can seriously consider the possibility of having new teammates in the future. I will do my best to ensure that the new teammates are trustworthy."

Jiang Jichu was silent for a while: "Why do you believe I can't?"

Xie Ji asked back: "Will you?"

Jiang Jichu: "..."

Jiang Jichu: "I won't."

There was a sweet hallucination between his lips and teeth, a hazy scarlet in front of his eyes, countless days and nights alternated in his mind, and finally froze in front of a locked cabinet door.

Jiang Jichu made an oath to himself in his heart.

will never.

·

The next morning.

After washing up, Xie Ji and Jiang Jichu went to the cafeteria to have breakfast together. Although it was the same as usual, Xie Ji knew that there was something different between them.

He was frank and honest last night, showing his attitude. He and Jiang Jichu were no longer passers-by who were forced to join forces, but teammates who wanted to support each other.

Of course... the matter of the watch is still not over, Jiang Jichu is thinking about how to get back.

The two came to the cafeteria all the way, and the breakfast time was 7:00-8:00. After eating, they went to the conference room to collect today's work content.

He took the steamed buns and a cup of soy milk, and Jiang Jichu had fried dough sticks and spicy soup.

Just halfway through the meal, Yao Shun hurried into the cafeteria: "It's not good! Something happened!"

Someone in the cafeteria immediately asked, "What's the matter?"

Xie Ji looked around for a week, and the two people on the night shift hadn't appeared in the cafeteria until now, so he had a premonition in his heart.

Yao Shun was out of breath: "The two...two on the night shift are dead! And! And!"

The name of the man who verbally stimulated Wei Zi yesterday was Zhang Ming, and he urged impatiently, "And what!"

Yao Shun: "And! All the corpses in the morgue were burned!"

When Xie Ji heard it, he felt that something was really wrong, so he rushed straight to the morgue.

There was a pungent smell in the corridor, the door of the morgue was wide open, and Wei Zi and the woman who was on night shift with him were lying at the door, their bodies were burnt to the point that there was no good skin, and their gender could only be vaguely distinguished.

Xie Ji stepped over the corpse and walked in. The white cloth covering the corpse was all reduced to ashes, and the fifty corpses on the mortuary bed were all affected in varying degrees.

Most importantly, the original identification tags on the wrists of each corpse were also burned.

Even if they find the name of the corresponding corpse, they cannot confirm which corpse it is, let alone send it to the grave after cremation.

Everyone at the scene fell into panic again. Some people vomited directly, and some broke down and cried.

"I finally found some clues, and they were all burned!"

"Is this the difficulty of the first level?!"

"Why is there a fire?! There is no fire alarm and response facilities in such a large funeral home!"

Xie Ji observed the surroundings carefully, the ceiling and walls were full of traces of fire, but none of the lamps were destroyed, the bluish light was covered with a thick layer of dark gray, and the cold air from each window was also functioning normally, turning the original The gloomy morgue is even more creepy.

Jiang Jichu approached and motioned him to look at the bed in the corner.

The corpse on the bed was no different from the rest of the place, but after Jiang Jichu used gloves to raise the thighs of the corpse, Xie Ji saw the burnt white cloth.

The white cloth that was supposed to cover the corpse appeared under the corpse...

What Zhang Ming said echoed in Xie Ji's ears.

"I see that there are at least fifty corpses in the morgue. Don't they all stand up at night?"
