Altar of Infinity

The tremors of the hair are clearly transmitted to the scalp.

He could feel the other party's cautious temptation, feel the top of his hair being touched and grabbed.

Not a few, but the hand wants to hold a lot.

The young, promising and handsome Mr. Xie neither wants to be dragged up by the head, nor does he want to be squeezed into the Mediterranean Sea.

He drew the knife with his backhand at an extremely fast speed, and the cold light struck the head of the bed like lightning in the darkness.

"boom--"

Jiang Jichu didn't fall into a deep sleep, turned over and sat up the moment he heard the long knife unsheathed, and turned on the bedside lamp.

The wooden headboard of the bed was split into two pieces, and narrow and long marks were drawn on the wall. The sawdust and wall ash floated slowly under the warm yellow light.

But there is nothing but a little mess.

The thunderstorm rumbled outside the window, crackling and smashing on the emerald glass, condensing into a stream of water, reflecting the light and darkness of the bedside lamp.

Jiang Jichu rubbed his eyes: "Are you sleepwalking?"

Xie Ji: "Something pulled my hair just now."

Jiang Jichu straightened his waist and probed to see the top of Xie Ji's head: "Not bald."

Xie Ji laughed, and put the long knife back into the scabbard: "If I'm going to be bald, I'll have to deal with that thing forever."

The two couldn't stay up all night, Xie Ji yawned: "Sleep, be careful in the middle of the night."

The two said good night again, then turned off the bedside lamp and lay down.

It was difficult for Jiang Jichu to fall asleep, especially after being awakened from a dream, he didn't feel sleepy at all.

With his back to Xie Ji, he took out the watch from his pocket as lightly as possible, and rubbed the surface with his fingers invisible.

Ever since he entered this level, he always felt uneasy in his heart.

Is it an illusion caused by too much worry, or is something really going to happen?

He put away his wristwatch and summoned the book of life and death. When he got it, it happened to be the page where the content of the level was written. With his knowledge of the book of life and death, he found the location of the level name.

Flat, smooth, and indistinguishable from the rest.

He began to doubt whether it was correct to recommend Xie Ji to "kill" first.

Maybe it's safer to wait until the next level... No, the next level is more difficult.

Jiang Jichu let go of the book of life and death, allowing it to return to nothingness.

He turned over and faced Xie Ji. He didn't know what was waiting for him tomorrow, so he had to fall asleep as soon as possible.

Before going to bed, he wanted to take one last look at Xie Ji.

There was no light in the room, and he should have been unable to see even a faint outline, but when he turned over, he was caught off guard by a pair of bright moves.

He blinked.

The pair of tricks also blinked.

Something is lying between him and Xie Ji!And still lying on his knife!

He didn't have time to pull the lamp, and immediately punched the center of the pair of tricks with the wind!

Xie Ji also noticed it the moment Jiang Jichu got up, and immediately got up, and then the bed board under him was suddenly shaken by Jiang Jichu.

Xie Ji: "What's wrong!"

Jiang Jichu realized that he missed something, and pulled the lamp away again.

The bed was punched by Jiang Jichu with a hole the size of a fist, and the sheets sank a lot, but just like Xie Ji just now, there was no other strange things on the bed.

Jiang Jichu: "There was something lying here just now."

Xie Ji: "Did it attack you?"

Jiang Jichu recalled: "No, the eyes are very bright, bigger and rounder than ordinary people's, but not beyond the range of normal people."

Xie Ji frowned slightly.

Whether it was Niu Kuyin or the group of corpses in the funeral home, there were entities, and they didn't even see the real body of that thing this time.

With his and Jiang Jichu's speed, both hit a blank.

is it a ghost?

There are thirteen people in the team, why did you find them?

He glanced at his watch: "There are still four hours of dawn, and we sleep for two hours each?"

Jiang Jichu: "I remember that you won't turn over while sleeping."

Xie Ji: "No."

Jiang Jichu pulled out the long knife and placed it between the two of them naked: "This knife is for protecting against evil spirits, and it won't be a problem to carry it on the first day of the second floor."

Xie Ji showed appreciation: "Not bad, how did you get the knife?" There is a handy weapon in the altar that is full of dangers, which can effectively improve the combat effectiveness. alright.

Jiang Jichu: "I got it by accident in a level on the fifth floor."

Xie Ji: "Get it by chance?"

"I snatched it by accident," Jiang Jichu coughed lightly, and added, "I snatched the boss."

Xie Ji: "..."

He thought to himself, since he can grab the boss, maybe he can find a chance to try?

However, after going through three levels, I didn't see the second prop. It also depends on luck.

He nodded, and said goodnight to Jiang Jichu for the third time before going to sleep.

There is a long knife to ward off evil spirits. This time, the two of them slept until they woke up naturally.

The rain was still falling outside the window, and the light in the morning was still a little weak, and the scene became clear only after the bedside lamp was turned on.

Xie Ji raised his hand, Jiang Jichu touched the watch from his pocket, and the two tacitly confirmed the time at the same time.

It was six past one in the morning.

The first night passed without any risk.

After washing up, the two returned to their room to have breakfast first.

Xie Ji took out a piece of bread from his bag.

The backpack is bulging, and it is full of food. Judging from the appetite of an adult male, if he saves some food, he can last up to seven days.

There is no food distributed in the novice level and the first level. The village has a kitchen, and the funeral parlor has a canteen.

And this tower...

Xie Ji realized that they might not be able to get food from other places at this stage.

After eating a piece of bread, Xie Ji wiped his hands: "Go out and have a look."

There are no electric lights in the corridors of the high tower, and the lighting only depends on the hundreds of kerosene lamps on the handrails of the spiral steps.

When I looked up from the bottom last night, it was like a bright galaxy stretching to the end of the sky.

But when Xie Ji came to Xinghe again, he found that it had been extinguished for no reason, and it was extinguished very regularly, one in every seven.

seven……

What does this number represent.

Jiang Jichu suddenly said: "There are dead people in the hall."

Xie Ji sank and ran down the stairs.

Near the door lay a man from their team.

Xie Ji had an impression of this person, he had just come up from the first floor.

Perhaps the first floor was relatively smooth, the man was still full of ambition yesterday, and his speech was full of publicity.

Only one night later, all those flying looks turned into extreme horror and froze on the man's face.

The man's body was full of wounds. The longest one stretched from the shoulder across the chest to the hip bone. This was also the deepest one. With the light of the oil lamp, Xie Ji could even vaguely see the man's internal organs.

The blood soaked the clothes and the floor where the man lay red, and the closer they got, the more pungent the bloody smell became.

Xie Ji adjusted his breathing, wanting to take a closer look at the man's wound.

And Jiang Jichu took a step ahead of him, and picked up the thin stick standing by the door to fiddle with the men's and rags' clothes.

Jiang Jichu: "He died for three hours. He was injured by a sharp weapon, not like a knife. The murder weapon was very heavy, or the murderer was very strong."

"Hey! Dead?!" Ran Yuanfei hurried down the stairs.

Everyone didn't sleep for too long on the first day, and they gathered around the corpse one after another.

Xie Ji didn't squeeze with others, he came to the door, wanting to go out for some air.

But no matter how he pushed and pulled, the door didn't budge.

Jiang Jichu also came to help him.

Both of them are tall and burly adult men, and their strength is much greater than that of ordinary people, but they still can't get rid of it.

Xie Ji: "It should be the rule of this level. Once you enter the tower, you are not allowed to go out."

But if this is the case, why not put them in the tower from the beginning, but in the mountain village outside?

"This man died a terrible death."

"Why did he die here?"

"Did any strange things happen to you last night?"

"Yes, yes, something pulled my quilt last night, it scared me to death."

"I met it too. Something was singing in my ear. I was so scared that I didn't sleep all night!"

Xie Ji listened to other people's arguments.

In other words, everyone was harassed by that thing last night, but only one man died.

Why did you choose this man?

His first reaction was that the man lived alone in the room, but besides the man, there were other people living by themselves.

Is that a man with excesses?Or do the ghosts randomly choose who to kill?

"By the way, look, a lot of lights on the stairs have gone out!"

"I counted, one out of every seven will go out."

"Could it be that every person who dies extinguishes a lamp?"

"I don't think so," Ran Yuanfei interjected, "The light off means that we only have seven days."

This remark coincided with Xie Ji's thoughts.

The food in the bag can last for seven days, and one of the seven lamps is turned off every day. They must complete the task of this level within seven days.

They are all people who have experienced the novice level and the first level, and there are many veterans. Everyone is familiar with the corpses appearing in the level. Although there are many discussions, they are not too surprised, and no one screams and cries.

The scene is exceptionally "harmonious".

They didn't discuss for long, and Wu Kang came down the stairs dragging his crutches.

After seeing the dead body on the ground, Wu Kang became the only one in the hall on the first floor who sighed: "Oh, they said they won't let you stay, you have to stay here! Hurry up, let's go!"

Xie Ji spread his hands: "The door cannot be opened."

Wu Kang poked the ground several times with his crutches: "It's all right now, you can't leave even if you want to! Young people! Just disobedient!"

Seeing that Wu Kang was out of breath, Xie Ji hurriedly helped him to sit beside the Taishi Chair.

Ran Yuan cleverly found a teapot, filled it with the hot water he boiled in the morning, brought it to the table, and poured a cup for Wu Kang graciously.

Ran Yuanfei: "Grandpa Wu, do you know what's going on?"

Wu Kang: "As I said yesterday, this tower is called the Tower of Suppressing Evil, and it houses a murderous evil spirit! It loves to kill people. You young people are full of yang, and you are his favorite target to kill. I'm afraid I can't bear it You guys go..."

Ran Yuanfei: "But isn't he suppressed, how can he kill people?"

Wu Kang talked about the past.

"Back then, this murderous monster killed countless people in other places, and broke into Wujia Village and killed many villagers. Later, a Taoist priest fought with it for three days and three nights before he was forced to subdue it. , each village raised money to build an evil tower here and trap it here.

"It's so fierce that it can't be killed at all! But fortunately there is an evil tower, as long as the younger ones don't enter the tower, it's fine, but you just broke in!

"Now that the gate cannot be opened, it must have deliberately trapped you in the tower so that it can kill you one by one!

"Oh, sin, sin."

Ran Yuanfei: "The murderer is so powerful, and we can't get out. Do we have to wait for death?"

Wu Kang groaned: "It's not that there is no way out."
