Altar of Infinity

The rain that had been suffocating for a whole day finally fell at this moment, and the sky was like an overturned inkstone, and the thick ink was stained deeper and deeper.

The highest self-built houses in the village do not exceed two floors, and thick trees with luxuriant branches are planted in the courtyards of each house, which are like pairs of withered hands swaying in the deep night.

The newcomer lying next to Wang Dan was startled by Lei and trembled again, and instinctively leaned towards him.

Wang Dan sighed heavily. He admired Xie Ji very much. He was bold and calm. There were only him and Wang Liang in his team. If Xie Ji joined, he would definitely be able to survive better.

Wang Jing persuaded him to give up his illusions, saying that Xie Ji looked amiable, but there was always an aura of a superior in his speech and demeanor, and he would not be willing to waste time in the middle and lower ranks of the altar.

He turned over to face the wall, even under the quilt in summer, he could still feel the chill brought by the rainy night, while Xie Ji was behind the wall, facing Niu Kuyin who would rush out of the coffin in the rain alone.

Hope Xie Ji can survive.

After all, duck soup is really delicious.

beyond a wall.

The coffin shed is made of rusty iron frames as the skeleton, with a dark plastic shed on the top, and the corners of the bottom are pressed by earth bricks so that it will not be scratched.

The coffin was placed in the center of the coffin, with strips of pure white filial cloth drooping naturally on both sides, a brazier for burning paper money was placed in front, and there were four or five soft cushions arranged in a semicircle around it. The paper money that sat on his buttocks was moved to the cushion, and it was short of someone kneeling down to mourn Niu Kuyin.

In Wang Dan's imagination, Xie Ji, who was waiting to die in the rain, was full of enthusiasm, and he picked up the chili powder jar and gestured to Jiang Jichu who was sitting opposite him: "It's cold tonight, can you eat spicy food?"

Jiang Jichu nodded.

So Xie Ji sprinkled a thin layer of chili powder on the grilled chicken on the simple homemade grill in front of him, cut off two chicken legs neatly with a knife, and ate supper with Jiang Jichu one by one.

The grilled chicken is charred on the outside and tender on the inside, and it has a rich red color due to the layer of Xie Ji's secret sauce, which is more attractive than the duck soup at night.

On their right side, the coffin was tied round and round by an iron chain as thick as an adult's wrist. The chandelier, which was swinging from side to side due to the wind, was twisted with a wire by Xie Ji, and twisted into a heart shape on a whim.

To show respect, the blood left by the slaughtered chicken was poured into the brazier in front of the coffin.

Naturally, they can't neglect the boss for extra meals.

Xie Ji spent some time preparing for the vigil, and when he arrived at the coffin shed, Jiang Jichu was sitting inside staring at his watch in a daze.

He asked the other party why he was tired and didn't go back to sleep all day, and the other party said that he couldn't die, and he wanted to wait for revenge after he got out.

Uncle Niu only said to let Xie Ji come to guard the spirit, but Jiang Jichu forced him to join. Uncle Niu didn't allow it, but Jiang Jichu cut the half-person-high stone lion in front of Niu's house in half without saying anything.

So one person's vigil night became two people's extra meal night.

Xie Ji withdrew his gaze from the smooth cut of the stone lion: "After you get out, how are you going to trouble me? Kill me?"

Jiang Jichu was stumped, and stood there holding the chicken wings that had just been broken off.

He was very angry when his cherished watch was broken, but he would not kill anyone.

Xie Ji: "Fight with me? Say it in advance, you may not be able to beat me."

Jiang Jichu: "This is an altar, and there are many ways to do it."

Seeing Jiang Jichu gnawing on the chicken wings again, Xie Ji said amusedly, "Eaters are soft-mouthed, but short-handed, do you understand?"

Jiang Jichu was confident and confident: "I will stay up late tonight, and I need to store up my energy."

Xie Ji didn't really care about a roast chicken with Jiang Jichu, but thought that Jiang Jichu was very interesting.

If you cause him to be hated by the boss, you must save his life, and if he smashes his watch, you must take revenge. The two cannot be evened.

Straightforward, very serious child.

Xie Ji: "Did you want to say something to me during the day?"

Jiang Jichu swallowed the last piece of chicken in his hand, then wiped his fingers and mouth clean, as if trying to organize his words.

After a while, Jiang Jichu said: "I want to persuade you not to team up with Wang Dan and the others."

Xie Ji joked: "If you don't team up with Wang Dan, how about teaming up with you?"

Jiang Jichu's movements paused briefly: "I don't form a team."

Xie Ji didn't intend to go with Wang Dan at all, but when Jiang Jichu said this, he couldn't help being a little curious: "Then why can't we go with Wang Dan?"

Jiang Jichu: "You will understand when you get out of this level."

So make a fool of yourself.

Jiang Jichu didn't say anything, and Xie Ji didn't delve into it. The most important thing now is to leave the novice level first.

As if hearing his inner voice, the coffin suddenly began to tremble.

The rain falling outside the coffin shed is gradually getting worse, and Xiaobu rises in response to the wind.

The coffin cover was slowly pushed open a seam, and Niu Kuyin's palm came out of the seam, his five fingers had turned into sharp claws, he suddenly bent and clasped the coffin cover, and pushed hard...

No push.

Niu Kuyin: "?"

The dark and stormy night, the dimly lit mourning hall, and the constantly shaking coffin, are obviously horrifying scenes, but they become funny because of Niu Kuyin's incompetence and rage.

Jiang Jichu: "The strength has increased again."

Xie Ji: "It shouldn't be too long to trap him, pay attention to safety."

The iron chain was strong enough, but the lock on it might not be able to withstand Niu Kuyin's toss.

Ten minutes later, Xie Ji's conjecture came true, and the lock was overwhelmed by Niu Kuyin's strength again, and it split into several pieces and hit the ground heavily.

Niu Kuyin had never suffered such a great humiliation in his life. He pushed the lid of the coffin that Xie Ji and Jiang Jichu had to close together to the limit, and he stood up abruptly from the coffin.

Niu Kuyin's face was as black as a piece of coke, his chest was heaving violently, his fingers curled up and spread out, and the resentment seemed to turn into reality.

Seeing Niu Kuyin stepping out of the coffin, Jiang Jichu put the knife in front of him: "He is very angry."

Xie Ji raised the corners of his lips: "Then I will help him lower the fire."

He leaned over and picked up the brazier filled with chicken blood, and poured it on Niu Kuyin's face.

Niu Kuyin: "??"

Even Jiang Jichu was taken aback for a moment, looking at Xie Ji in disbelief.

Xie Ji: "I heard that the rooster's blood wards off evil spirits. Look, he hasn't moved."

Jiang Jichu pursed his lips: "He should have made you angry."

Niu Kuyin came to his senses in the next moment, and rushed towards Xie Ji with blood on his face.

Xie Ji dodged it, took out his lighter and lit the torch he had prepared long ago, and when Niu Kuyin attacked again, he reached the opponent's chest.

The flame burned a big hole in Niu Kuyin's short sleeve, but it didn't have any effect on the underlying skin.

Xie Ji decisively threw away the torch and stepped into the rain.

Niu Kuyin followed closely, his right fist hit Xie Ji's face with rain and wind.

Jiang Jichu drew his long knife out of its sheath, and swung it fiercely at Niu Kuyin's arm.

The long knife that might have split the stone lion in two fell on Niu Kuyin's body, but it couldn't even cut through the skin, and instead made his wrist numb from the shock.

Xie Jiyu gave Jiang Jichu a look, and the latter put the long knife behind his back, bent down to pick up the bricks from the spiritual shed and threw them into the distance.

It rained heavily tonight, and the breathing and heartbeat were covered by the sound of the rain. When the two stopped moving, Niu Kuyin lost his aim, stood there hesitating for a while, and walked aimlessly.

The three of them were not far away, and Niu Kuyin was walking around indiscriminately and happened to be slowly approaching Xie Ji.

When he was only two meters away from Xie Ji, Niu Kuyin suddenly jumped up and precisely rushed towards Xie Ji.

Xie Ji had been prepared for a long time, after dodging, he picked up the half of the stone lion that Jiang Jichu chopped down and threw it at Niu Kuyin's head.

Xie Ji: "He can see it!"

Niu Kuyin was staggered by the blow, Jiang Jichu rushed to him in three steps and two steps, and the long knife slashed on the back of his neck again.

Niu Kuyin roared angrily, turned around and grabbed Jiang Jichu.

It only takes a moment for the dirty purple sharp claws to penetrate the body, but Jiang Jichu did not evade, and swiped down with his left hand, pulling down a black shadow out of thin air.

The sharp claws collided with the black shadow, making hair-raising friction sounds, and then hit Jiang Jichu's abdomen with force.

Jiang Jichu received a forcible blow from Niu Kuyin, his eyes showed a bit of ferocity, and he took the opportunity to stab the long knife into Niu Kuyin's eye socket!

The defense shell that is invulnerable to fire and water does not include the eyes.

Niu Kuyin covered his right eye and stepped back a few steps, twisting his body frantically.

Xie Ji ran to Jiang Jichu's side: "Are you okay?"

Jiang Jichu shook his head: "No matter how deep it is, it won't penetrate."

Niu Kuyin's strength has become stronger, his eyes have regained his sight, his hands can be turned into sharp claws, and his IQ has even increased, making him even more difficult than last night.

Xie Ji: "We can't spend the whole night like this."

It won't work to be tricked into the coffin again.

He looked around the circle, and his eyes were fixed on the chain that Niu Kuyin broke free from.

Jiang Jichu: "You want to tie him up? But there is no support nearby."

The dirt road is flat, and the iron frame supporting the coffin is only as thick as a thumb. There are trees in the yard, but they are tied to the trees so that everyone will not be able to sleep tonight.

Xie Ji thought of something and asked, "How long can you last?"

Jiang Jichu's tone was flat: "Until he dies."

Xie Ji patted Jiang Jichu on the shoulder: "You don't have to wait until he dies, just wait for me for 5 minutes." After speaking, he rushed into the yard of Niu's house.

Jiang Jichu didn't ask Xie Ji where he was going, but raised his knife to stop Niu Kuyin who was running away.

As the boss of the novice level, Niu Kuyin was really miserable.

Not 48 hours after the checkpoint was opened, he was humiliated by Xie Ji in all kinds of ways. Not to mention, he gouged out an eyeball. The stinky chicken blood on his body was washed away by the heavy rain, but the smell still remained.

He easily dodged Niu Kuyin's attack, and out of the corner of his eye he caught a glimpse of the simple grill that was overturned during the fight.

The grilled chicken is not finished yet.

But I can't eat it anymore.

Jiang Jichu's irritability rose in his heart, and the heavy rain that had been raining for several hours had no tendency to end in the slightest, so he gripped the knife more and more tightly.

It's better to dig out Niu Kuyin's remaining eyeball.

At the moment when he was about to start, footsteps came from the door of Niu's house.

Xie Ji's forehead hair was caught to the top of his head, and his facial features were rendered more three-dimensional by the night. Rainwater flowed along the eyebrows and bridge of the nose, winding streams along the jawline, like fresh meridians.

It is said that people with thin lips tend to be cold-tempered, but Xie Ji's lips are naturally filled with a somewhat calm smile, just standing upright makes people trust and feel at ease.

Xie Ji's dark casual clothes were already drenched, revealing the shape of his chest and abdominal muscles.

Jiang Jichu was about to say goodbye to the concave shape, when he saw a donkey and a pig parked beside Xie Ji's two long legs.

?

A donkey and a pig?
