Altar of Infinity

Every window in the tower is tightly closed, but the fabric curtains hanging on both sides are drawn inwards against the laws of physics.

Xie Ji glanced at Jiang Jichu, who understood and moved the long knife behind his back.

"We have no malicious intentions. Since you wanted to save us on the first day, why don't you come out and communicate now?" Xie Ji said, "I won't do anything, and neither will the little brother next to me. We just want to chat with you chat."

There was no movement by the window, but Xie Ji was not in a hurry, he just stood and waited leisurely.

After a while, the closed curtains spread out to both sides, and a child's figure slowly appeared in the middle of the curtains.

He is a delicate-looking little boy, about six or seven years old, with slightly long hair, and wearing clothes with the same sense of age as the tower.

The boy's eyes are very big, and the movement of the light turning his head up shines into his eyes, which looks bright and compelling. He holds the upper arm of the other arm with one hand, and looks at Xie Ji fearfully and defensively from a distance.

The boy said crisply: "You, how do you know me..."

Thank you for explaining in harmony.

"Because we have felt two completely different attack patterns since we entered the tower. One is gentle, although it has a scary meaning, but never hurts people, and the other is brutal, and every time it appears, it will directly kill us.

"You came to each of our rooms to harass each of us the first night, trying to scare us away from this tower with murderers, right?"

The boy didn't speak, but bit his lower lip tightly.

Xie Ji continued.

"But before we could leave, the real murderer killed one of our companions and closed the gate of the tower, trapping us in it.

"When my friend and I came to inspect the study, you made noise on purpose to attract our attention to the books on judging and suppressing evil spirits on the bookshelves. However, you are still a child and have little strength. It took a lot of effort to push down a bookshelf, but that bookshelf is far away from us, even if it falls down in a row, it will not hurt us.

"And when you passed by me, I could feel a relatively cold air flow, and based on the height of the air flow, I could guess your height and age.

"The eagle statue on the seven-story tao wood low table should be you. It is written in the book that a boy with high spiritual power is the best thing to suppress evil, and the thing that suppresses evil should be placed on the top of the tower, but Wu Kang told us that the eagle statue on the top floor is a murderer.

"When Wu Kang asked us to make a cage, you realized that Wu Kang didn't want to eliminate the murderer, but you, because it is the real murderer, and you are the soul boy responsible for suppressing it.

"You originally wanted to steal the book "One Hundred Ways of Using Taomu", but Wu Kang memorized it.

"Seeing that the cage is about to be completed, and you will be thrown into it and burned to death, so I threw debris on the cage from the fifth floor, trying to destroy the cage.

"You are very kind and smart. You are afraid of hitting people before throwing things. You also know how to throw a book as a warning. When you hold a knife, you don't even want to touch it."

He did not tell all the deduction process.

For example, some speculation about Wu Kang.

The village has been deserted for a long time, how did Wu Kang, an old man over seventy, survive alone?

There was no kitchen in the tower, so they searched for books in Wu Kang's room during the day. The room was searched all over, but strangely, they didn't find any food.

What they ate were the things that were automatically assigned to them in the bag by the level, so what did Wu Kang eat?

On the first night, both the boy and Wu Kang took actions, one driving people away and the other killing people.

Wu Kang also specially closed the gate of the tower to trap them inside, and pretended to teach them how to make cages, but he never really touched the tao wood once.

Because Wu Kang can't touch Taomu, he can only use their hands to kill the boy.

When Xiao Sun accidentally dropped the eagle statue under the cabinet, the murderer was finally able to pick up two axes and start killing people in broad daylight.

At this time, Wu Kang pretended to be sleeping in the house, so he had enough time to commit crimes.

As long as they complete the cage and kill the boy, once the boy who suppressed Wu Kang dies, the tower will not be able to restrict Wu Kang, and then they can kill them, and even leave the tower to bring disaster to the world again.

Xie Ji smiled very friendly: "My name is Xie Ji, his name is Jiang Jichu, what's your name?"

The boy pursed his lips: "Wu Ying."

"Wu Ying, good name," Xie Ji, "So Wu Ying, do you have anything to add?"

Wu Ying shook his head.

Xie Ji: "Then can you tell us how to leave the tower?"

Wu Ying: "Murderer, die."

It was the same as Xie Ji thought.

The cage still had to be made, but it wasn't Wu Ying who was put in, but Wu Kang.

Xie Ji: "Good boy, do you have any wish?"

Wu Ying curled her lips, her eyes soon turned red, and two strings of tears rolled down her chubby face from the corners of her eyes.

"Murderer, die.

"It killed a lot of people, my grandpa, grandma, brother, rhubarb, and neighbors' dog eggs and loach.

"The Taoist said, I am a soul boy with high spiritual power, and asked me if I would like to suppress it.

"I said, I do, I want to avenge my family, my friends, my partners.

"But it is too strong, and I can only suppress it in the tower.

"Occasionally, some tourists will come, and they will all be killed by it.

"Uncle, brother, you are so powerful, can you stop letting it hurt people!"

Xie Ji twitched the corner of his mouth.

uncle……

He is 20 years older than this kid, so it's okay to call him uncle. How come it's Jiang Jichu's turn to become an elder brother? !

Xie Ji subconsciously looked at Jiang Jichu, but the young man was smiling.

This was the first time he saw Jiang Jichu smiling, the facial features on the overly beautiful and bright face curved slightly, the smile was very shallow, but it was like spring water bursting suddenly in late winter and early spring, cold and full of vitality.

Xie Ji: "You laughed."

Jiang Jichu immediately sullenly said, "I didn't."

Xie Ji: "You just laughed!"

Jiang Jichu: "I haven't."

Xie Ji: "Laugh again and let me see."

Jiang Jichu's ears turned red, and he pressed Xie Ji's shoulder to make him face Wu Kang: "Can you respect the little boss."

Wu Ying: "My brother has such a nice smile."

Jiang Jichu: "..." Stop respecting, let's transcend together.

Xie Ji turned his attention away from Jiang Jichu.

The real boss of this level is actually Wu Ying. Wu Ying's wish is to kill the murderer completely, so as to avenge the dead relatives, friends, and partners, and to stop the murderer from harming others.

After chatting with Wu Ying for a few more words, Xie Ji and Wu Ying became acquainted, coaxing Wu Ying to start calling brother, brother, and even reluctant to let Xie Ji leave.

Wu Ying has stayed in the tower for a hundred years, with only one vicious murderer as his companion, and he hasn't had a good conversation with anyone for too long.

Xie Ji thinks Wu Ying is cute, and plans to stay with him for a while. He originally wanted to sing to Wu Ying, but humans can't get to his musical level. Maybe Wu Ying can?

In the end, Jiang Jichu stopped him before he could speak, saying that there was thunder outside, they were in the tower, singing would easily release the murderer.

Wu Ying didn't understand what this meant, and stared with big round eyes.

Xie Ji understood.

He pretended to be angry: "You are getting bolder."

Jiang Jichu was not afraid of him either: "You're welcome."

Xie Ji: "Believe it or not, I will deduct the portion of your pudding."

For the first time, Jiang Jichu struggled between food and conscience: "Mr. Xie, you have to be principled in life."

Xie Ji: "The cook is the principle, I..."

Before he finished speaking, he heard a sharp cry from downstairs.

"what--!"

The faces of the two of them froze at the same time.

Xie Ji said to Wu Ying: "Let's talk another day."

After speaking, he ran to the second floor with Jiang Jichu.

When they arrived, the door of the guest room next to the stairs was open, and a girl who looked like a college student was sitting on the floor, covered in blood, holding a stick tightly in her hand, facing into the room, trembling with her body. Move your hands and feet outward.

"what!"

"what--!"

When her feet moved out of the door, two broad axes came from the room, and the blood dripped on the girl's face along the smooth arc of the axes.

It rose upwards, and swung towards the top of the girl's head amid another high-pitched scream!

"boom--"

Zheng Yue closed her eyes tightly, but the pain did not come for a long time.

She opened a slit, and a slender ancient knife blocked the two fingers in front of her in an insurmountable posture, and supported the two axes like a mountain.

Immediately afterwards, Zheng Yue was dragged out from under the knife by his armpit.

Xie Ji shook Zheng Yue's shoulder: "Can you still move?"

Zheng Yue came back to her senses: "I sprained my ankle!"

Xie Ji helped him up: "Hide first!"

The clanging sound of metal colliding continued one after another, Jiang Jichu methodically stopped the two axes from chasing Xie Ji and Zheng Yue.

Xie Ji picked up the tao wooden stick that Zheng Yue had left behind, and glanced into the room.

The ceiling and walls were stained red, and the two friends who lived with Zheng Yue were covered with wounds and their heads had been cut off. Their eyes, which were too late to close, were opened to an unbelievable degree, and they looked at him with horror and reluctance.

The two broad axes were obviously placed on the top floor, and they were trapped with tao wood. How could they come out again to hurt people?

Seeing that it couldn't break through Jiang Jichu's resistance, the ax simply turned around and rushed towards the room on the other side of the stairs.

Xie Ji was holding a tao wooden stick, and when the ax was about to hit the door lock, he smashed the ax on the axe, and the ax flew away.

The broad ax seemed to be irritated, flipped a few times in the air and rushed towards Xie Ji.

Xie Ji led Jiang Jichu to turn around and run upstairs.

Jiang Jichu: "Isn't Wu Kang unable to touch tao wood? How did the broad ax come out?"

Wu Kang's appearance flashed in Xie Ji's mind: "Crutches! It has a cane!"

Although Wu Kang couldn't touch Taomu directly, he could use his stick to scoop up the ax to the ground!

The so-called "the seventh floor looks ordinary, but in fact there are tiny magic circles engraved in the dark, so that the murderers can be suppressed in it" is pure fart, and it is deliberately used to disturb their sight and lower their defenses!

Xie Ji turned his head to avoid the blow of the axe, and walked over the last few steps. At this time, he and Jiang Jichu had reached the fifth floor.

Xie Ji wanted to continue running up, but the ax was one step faster than him this time, and flew in front of the two of them.
