Altar of Infinity

Xie Quan said that everyone downstairs was discussing around the corpse, but this "everyone" was only four people.

Thirteen of them entered the checkpoint, a couple died at the beginning, Wei Shang and Qin Ben disappeared, Si You went to investigate the cellar, and after removing Xie Ji, Jiang Jichu, and Xie Quan, there were only four downstairs.

Among the four, Xie Ji and Ran Yuanfei had cooperated in the last level, and they had saved Han Mei twice in this level. The only strangers were the two little girls.

Thank you for moving your mind.

Siyou, Qin Ben's girlfriend He Manman, the couple who died at the beginning Zhu Qing, Han Mei, and the two little girls in the lobby, nearly half of the level is women.

As soon as Ran Yuanfei saw Xie Ji, he greeted him happily, and his smile froze on his face after seeing the cold Jiang Jichu: "Brother Xie, you are here."

Xie Ji simply responded and walked towards the corpse.

He Manman's clothes were all well dressed, but a button was broken at the collar of her jacket, and there were obvious bump marks on the back of her head.

Before entering the altar, Xie Quan was a staunch materialist, and he was also in a trance of medical school. He was afraid of nothing and was not afraid of the dead body. He went to check it briefly, and said to Xie Ji: "The fatal injury is the blow to the back of the head, like a blunt instrument."

He treated Han Mei's wounds, and the latter said in surprise, "You didn't study forensics, did you..."

Xie Quan scratched the back of his head: "Clinical and extracurricular hobbies are quite extensive."

The lobby is full of people who can enter the civilian area. After staying in the checkpoint for a few days, they can more or less guess the core of the checkpoint.

Ran Yuanfei guessed: "Wei Shang and Qin Ben chose to join Chen Family Village, He Manman...is their vote?!"

Thank you for nodding.

Probably.

Wei Shang and Qin Ben had eaten at Fuxiu, and had a closer relationship with Chenjiacun. Chenjiacun would attack them sooner or later.

The villagers may have revealed information to these two scum, such as today is your death date, implying that Wei Shang and Qin Ben have completely drawn a line with them.

In order to join Chenjiacun, He Manman became a voter.

These two scumbags are willing to eat Fuxiu, which shows that they agree with the decadent customs of trading in Chenjia Village, so it is nothing to sell He Manman.

What happened next can only be guessed at the moment. Bi He Manman is a bit skilled and has a tough temper. She escaped by herself, but she didn't escape completely. During the confrontation with the villagers, someone accidentally killed her.

Falling into a place like Chenjiacun, where there is no lower limit, might be cleaner after death.

But they have obviously found a solution, only one step away...

Xie Ji felt sorry, and found a piece of cloth to cover the deceased.

He stood by the table and signaled to everyone: "The people who are still in the hostel have never eaten Fuxiu, and there is no problem of opposing positions. The common goal of everyone is to leave the checkpoint. In the next time, I hope everyone can unite and cooperate. "

He traveled all over the world and dealt with different people. After returning to China, he took over the Xie family. He had been in charge for a few years. At this moment, his smile was restrained, his expression was a little serious, and the aura of a leader was immediately revealed.

The villagers don't know when they will completely tear themselves apart. They can no longer place orders and give away heads one by one, and the more people there are, the more efficient they will be in the next operation.

Xie Ji told the other people the information he has so far, focusing on the four people outside their team.

The corpse on the ground is evidence, and Han Mei was almost victimized, so she also helped Xie Ji provide testimony.

The four of them were stunned at first, and then started to vomit, especially the three girls, who were terrified and disgusted by the malice directed at them.

Ran Yuanfei: "Brother Xie, what should we do next?"

"My friend went to the cellar. The best result is that she rescues the people in the cellar. When she comes back, we create trouble, rescue the victim who is locked at home, and destroy Fu Xiulin," Xie Ji, "The second result is that she only found the location of the cellar. We sent an extra team to rescue the victims in the cellar, and the other actions remained unchanged."

Ran Yuanfei: "Then... just wait now?"

Xie Ji: "In the eyes of the villagers in Chenjia Village, as long as they don't eat Fuxiu, they are their enemies. They are in groups. If we go out alone, we will be a living target. If we go out in a group, we will miss my friend's information. It is better to get together Wait, if there are people from Chen Family Village, we will have more people and stronger fighting power."

He glanced at his watch, intending to end the conversation: "Okay, everyone, if you haven't eaten, go eat something, you can fight when you are full."

Xie Quan's nose twitched: "Ah! Brother, the smell of the chicken soup you stewed has already wafted out!"

Ran Yuanfei also smelled the fragrance, and praised Xie Ji: "Brother Xie, you can cook, it smells so good!"

"It's nothing to study when I'm free," Xie Ji said generously, "There's a lot of stew, do you want to try it?"

Ran Yuanfei's eyes lit up: "Is it possible?!"

Jiang Jichu, who was silent for the whole scene, suddenly said: "No." When Xie Ji spoke, he was always acting as the audience, without interjecting a word.

Due to the fact that he was still recovering from his illness, his face was a little gloomy, and You Qi was still holding the knife tightly, which made people's hearts tremble.

Ran Yuanfei thought of Siyou's sentence "Love is precious, life is more expensive", secretly swallowed and sat back.

Xie Ji looked at Jiang Jichu, who said confidently, "That's my sick meal."

Xie Ji patted him on the shoulder lightly: "Why are you so protective of food?"

Jiang Jichu turned his head and left.

The chicken soup has less oil and less salt, and there are side dishes in it.

Except that the people in Chenjia Village are not good people, Fuxiu and purple snake and purple python are not good things, the vegetables grown are all natural, and the chicken soup is fresh and delicious.

An artist who claims to eat a lot has a smaller appetite than normal people, and Xie Ji only allows him to drink a small bowl because of his illness. After all, he has not been able to monopolize the whole pot of chicken soup.

The chef had to have a bowl, and the chef's younger brother and Jiang Jichu's attending physician had to have a bowl, all of which were served by Jiang Jichu himself.

Xie Quan was flattered holding the soup bowl.

Even if Jiang Jichu wasn't his sister-in-law, she was still a campus god!If his roommate knew that Jiang Jichu served him soup, he would probably die of envy.

Xie Ji cooks on weekdays, Jiang Jichu washes the dishes, but now that Jiang Jichu is ill, the job of washing dishes falls to Xie Quan.

Jiang Jichu didn't argue with Xie Quan about this kind of thing that could come in turn, and left the hall with Xie Ji.

Jiang Jichu kept thinking about the man who appeared in the morning.

Xie Ji will have multiple results at the altar. The purpose of the man's coming is to sow discord and deliberately hide the result of "death at the altar".

In addition to this, the man proposed two more results...

There are only two.

Various possibilities were twisted and twisted in his mind, and the excessive amount of information made him frown involuntarily.

What kind of role does Xie Quan play?

Xie Ji's character is destined not to compromise, not to mention Yin Lin's precedent, even if things go badly, Xie Ji can be like Yin Lin.

No, Yin Lin's current situation is very dangerous, Xie Ji may not be able to follow Yin Lin's old path peacefully.

The seventh floor... what happens.

He was not feeling well, and he was thinking about too many things, so he bumped into a wall of flesh unexpectedly.

Inertia caused him to fall backwards, and before he fell for a second, his waist was suddenly tightly bound.

Jiang Jichu raised his head, and was facing Xie Ji's brow-eyed smiling face.

The distance between the two is very close, and their breathing is intertwined.

Xie Ji said softly: "What are you thinking, I don't even look at the road."

In order to prevent Jiang Jichu from falling, he subconsciously pulled it. Jiang Jichu looked thin, but the weight in his arms was lighter than he thought. Did the chicken soup he stewed go to Xie Quan's stomach?

Jiang Jichu's mind went blank for a moment, and he only said vaguely, "Oh, it's nothing, the chicken soup is quite delicious."

Xie Ji didn't break through this obvious excuse, but went on to say: "Don't you share a bowl with outsiders if you drink something delicious?"

"I don't even have enough to drink." Jiang Jichu muttered.

Even at such a close distance, Xie Ji's facial features could not pick out any flaws, elegant and masculine.

Too close, he thought.

The ambiguity that was interrupted by Xie Quan in the morning was entangled in the air again, and Jiang Jichu finally came back to his senses, with a strange look in the corner of his eyes: "Mr. Xie is blaming his teammate for an outsider?"

"Ask?" Xie Ji repeated Jiang Ji's first selection of vocabulary, and stretched out his other hand to rest on the other's chest, "Then your heart beats so fast because you were blamed?"

When the window paper between the two of them became transparent, the usual jokes changed.

It is not the first time that Jiang Jichu has expressed his possessiveness, but it is the first time that Xie Ji wants to investigate the meaning behind the possessiveness.

He also wanted to tell Jiang Jichu that he should not rely on his beauty to commit murder, and that he would have to pay a price for casually teasing someone.

In Xie Ji's eyes, there seemed to be a lake glistening with spring water, and when the wind swayed, it would set off a vortex, and the sun would surround it, interweaving beautiful warm colors.

In the face of beauty, Jiang Jichu secretly pinched himself to stay awake, and said sternly, "Mr. Xie hasn't hugged anyone in 26 years?"

Xie Ji smiled, and the spring water in the lake became more gentle.

However, before Xie Ji could speak again, a familiar voice sounded from the south of them.

"Brother, I've finished washing... what the fuck!" Xie Quan stared at the two with wide eyes, his hands shaking in shock, "I didn't wash well! I'll go wash it again!"

Xie Ji had no choice but to let go of Jiang Jichu, and pulled back his younger brother who was doing bad things to him twice a day.

Xie Quan's sixth sense told him that something was wrong, either he was going to be spanked by Xie Ji or he was about to be slashed by Jiang Jichu with a knife. His desire to survive broke out again, so he turned his back and hugged Xie Ji's arm: "Brother, you only have me as my own brother. Leave someone behind!"

Xie Ji has been single for more than 20 years and has no relationship experience at all, otherwise he would not forget Xie Quan who will come out at any time, and talked about chicken soup with Jiang Jichu on the spot.

Two people flirting back and forth are called fun, and being seen by a third person is called social death.

"You have been moved out of the Xie family's household registration book." Xie Ji, to avoid embarrassment, first expressed his indifference, and then dragged Jiang Jichu into the battle, "This is my new younger brother, you should pack up and make a living."

Jiang Jichu raised his eyes lazily: "Can you not block the stairs, I want to go up and sleep for a while...Brother..."

There is only one word difference between "Brother" and "Brother", but Jiang Ji's first ending sound is long and warped, like a boundless lingering love.

Xie Ji was stunned on the spot.

Before Xie Ji could react, Jiang Jichu, who had won a round, immediately ran away, bypassing Xie Ji and going upstairs.

Just looking at the back view, it looks like some kind of large animal that has become a spirit. Because it just won a fight, it walks up the stairs with its head held high, its tail wagging non-stop, brisk and squeaky.

The light shines through the glass window, and the dust in the air slowly floats in the airflow, while the sound of footsteps disappears at the corner of the stairs along with the slender figure.

The top of Xie Quan's head seemed to explode with a hundred fireworks, his eyes were almost narrowed, and he bumped into Xie Ji with his shoulder: "Brother~ I'm sleepy too, why don't you carry him upstairs~"

The itch in Xie Ji's heart hadn't subsided yet, he looked at Xie Quan: "Want to try physical sleep aid?"

Xie Quan did not succumb to his brother's prestige this time: "The sky is bright and bright, as the heir of our Xie family, you are irresponsible for your actions and actions against the flowers of Gaoling in our school. Brother, I condemn you!"

Chapter 71 Xueyi and Jiang Jichu are obviously looking at him, but they seem to be looking at another person through him.

Xie Ji felt that he must have tortured Xie Quan in his previous life, and it was only in this life that he came to pay off the debt.

After teaching Xie Quan well what brothers and sisters are, Xie Ji's chest energy finally subsided, so he went back to the room satisfied.

Someone who opened his mouth wildly was lying flat on the bed and breathing evenly.

Xie Ji thought to himself, it was Jiang Jichu who was obviously not responsible for the delusion.

He didn't disturb Jiang Jichu's rest, and leaned on his bedside with his eyes closed to recharge his batteries.

Today is very likely to be the last day they stay at this checkpoint, and it is also the most dangerous day. No matter how many villagers from Chenjia Village come, he can escape safely, but there are other people in the guest house, and there are other abducted women in the mountains. He needs to be at his best.

Time passed by, but they still didn't wait for Siyou to return.

When the daylight moved from the head of the bed to the foot of the bed, the light began to dim, and the door was knocked from the outside.

"Brother, senior, is it convenient?"

Poor Xie Quan was once a stranger and acquainted the second time, this time he has a long memory, so he didn't rush to open the door of his brother and senior's room.

It's just that the three words "is it convenient" don't seem to be quite right.

Xie Ji glanced at Jiang Jichu, the other party must have noticed the movement before Xie Quan knocked on the door, he had sat up from the bed at this moment, his clothes were neatly tidied up, ready to see people and entertain guests at any time.

He opened the door and let Xie Quan in.

Eighteen or nineteen is still the age when life is at the beginning, not everyone can learn to be calm at this time, Xie Quan's face is full of worries that are hidden: "Brother, it's past five o'clock, Siyou hasn't return."

Xie Ji glanced at his watch.

At [-]:[-], the mountain in Chenjia Village is big, but there are not so many people, even if you search them one by one, you should be able to find them. Why hasn't Siyou come back yet?

After all, she is a girl, and Chenjia Village is a place where women are eaten. Most of Xie Ji's understanding of Si You comes from Jiang Jichu and Xie Quan, so he is inevitably a little worried.

He stood up: "Don't worry about anything, I'll look for it, you and your senior are staying in the guest house."

Jiang Jichu suddenly said: "She will be fine."

Xie Ji turned around, Jiang Jichu's mind was clear, he was really not worried at all, he asked, "Are you sure?"

Jiang Jichu said indifferently: "If something happens to me, she will be fine."

Xie Ji frowned sensitively. What happened to his cousin made him attach great importance to the lives of relatives and friends around him. Such unlucky words sound very uncomfortable.

But Xie Ji ate eight years more than Xie Quan, and quickly swallowed his emotions: "How do you say that, brother to you, I can't let you have an accident."

He just wanted to make a joke at first, but Jiang Jichu was stunned for a moment, and after a while, the perennial coldness at the end of his eyes melted away, and he actually showed him an extremely shallow smile.

Jiang Jichu looks amazing, and he seldom smiles, so every time he smiles, it is particularly shocking.

But Xie Ji tasted something strange from that smile.

Jiang Jichu was obviously looking at him, but it seemed that he was looking at another person through him.

Before he could think about it, Jiang Jichu said, "Siyou is an expert who can survive from the seventh floor, and her condition is at its peak. This is the third floor, so I can't help her."

Xie Quan was still worried: "What if..."

Before he could get a result, there was a knock on the door downstairs.

The noise came one after another, and it sounded like there were quite a few people.

The three of them looked at each other and hurried downstairs.

Others also heard the noise and came to the hall on the first floor, but no one dared to go up and open the door that was closed by the villagers.

"Is anyone here?"

"Jiang Jichu, Jiang Jichu! Is this someone named Jiang Jichu?"

"It was Siyou who asked us to come here!"

"I'm Zhu Qing, please open the door if there is anyone."

The hairs of all the people present stood on end.

Isn't Zhu Qing the woman among the young couple who died in the first place? !

The sound of knocking on the door was not loud, as if afraid of attracting someone's attention, and the voices were all women.

Xie Ji told the others to retreat, and stepped forward to open the door.

Six emaciated and yellow-faced women stood outside. They must have not showered for a while. Their bodies smelled stuffy, their clothes were not very neat, and their exposed skin was covered with wounds.

The passers-by didn't know each other before entering the book, but Zhu Qing burst into tears the moment she saw Xie Ji and others.

There were only six women outside, and there were no villagers.

Everyone realized that these were women victims who were murdered by Chenjiacun...

The three remaining female passers-by in the guest house helped them all into the hall, and even Han Mei limped to help.

Except for Zhu Qing, the other five victims were all wary of the men in the guest house, and huddled in a corner to seek a sense of security as soon as they entered.

Xie Quan was soft-hearted, the victim's tragic situation and continuous sobbing made his nose red, he took out a bag of tissue and stuffed it to Zhu Qing, coaxing patiently: "Don't cry, you're back, don't be afraid."

Zhu Qing's psychological quality is stronger, she understands what is the most important thing now, she thanked Xie Quan, wiped away her tears, sucked her nose twice, and gradually became stable.

Only then did Xie Ji ask: "You just said that Si You sent you to find Jiang Jichu?"

Zhu Qing nodded, his voice still a little hoarse: "Yes, Sister Siyou rescued us from the cellar and told us to go back to the hostel to find a man named Jiang Jichu."

Siyou and Jiang Jichu are old acquaintances, it's normal for them to come to Jiang Jichu.

And Jiang Jichu understood who was the backbone, so he directly threw the matter out, pointed at Xie Ji and said, "Look for Xie Ji."

Zhu Qing sent a sensible message to Xie: "Brother Xie."

Xie Ji nodded: "Did Si You come back with you?"

The tears that Zhu Qing had just stopped fell down again: "We were chased by the purple python, and she was swept away by the purple python in order to let us run away."

Xie Quan's face turned pale: "What's going on?"

Through Si You's description, Xie Ji and others learned the whole story.

The cellars in the village were hidden deep, and Siyou didn't have a clue for a while.

But she thought of a way - since she couldn't find it, let someone take her to find it.

She didn't want to startle the enemy, and exchanged fire with Chenjiacun without saving the other victims, so she didn't use straightforward threats, but walked on the road openly.

Siyou's looks and body are top-notch, and soon some villagers discovered that she was a "weak woman" who was alone.

She pretended to resist twice before being taken to the cellar by the villagers, where they found six victims who had not been "assigned", including the missing Zhu Qing.

At first, Chenjiacun didn't know how deep their team was. Although they kidnapped people, they didn't really attack Zhu Qing.

The failure of the operation to remove the python made Chenjiacun realize that their team was mediocre. Someone wanted to bully Zhu Qing last night, but a girl a few years older than her in the cellar blocked her...

Because Zhu Qing said that there are very powerful people in their team who can rescue everyone.

The girl said, anyway, she will be able to go out soon, and she can block this once or twice at most, and everyone can go out. She has no sense of chastity, but she knows that such things will definitely leave a psychological shadow on people. For students who haven’t graduated, if they can do well, let’s do well, and they can study happily after returning home.

Rescuing them out is actually a very slim hope, like a remote water source in the desert, no one knows whether it exists or not.

Maybe the girl really believed it, or maybe she didn't.

Chen Cun didn't force it, he planned to catch them all, keep the males and keep the females, and then "enjoy" without any scruples.

Therefore, the villagers let Zhu Qing go. After throwing Siyou into the cellar today, they just locked her up and left.

A chain refers to an iron chain as thick as a finger, and it is difficult for ordinary people to break free, but Si You is not worth mentioning, not to mention that she still wears a dagger that cuts iron like mud, just this chain, she can break free with bare hands.

After confirming that the villagers had left, Si You also untied the chains of the remaining six people, intending to take them around the village of Chenjia Village and return to the guest house from the forest.

But they met the purple python in the mountains, and Siyou wanted to spend a few rounds with the purple python, but for some reason she stopped suddenly.

Just this moment, she was trapped by the purple python, and she asked the others to leave first, saying that it was useless for them to stay, because they had been locked in the dark cellar for too long, where did they get the fighting power, and hurried back to the guest house to find Jiang Jichu.

The six people have limited mobility and are not familiar with the mountains and forests, but they met the red snake again.

They thought they would die, but instead of attacking, the red snake was even docile and wanted to lead them the way.

Under the protection and guidance of the red snake, they finally returned to the guest house.

After listening to Zhu Qing's narration, Xie Ji had a general understanding of the matter.

The controller of Chenjia Village is Chen Cun, and the prey is distributed by Chen Cun. The people who attacked Han Mei this morning may have secretly killed them because they wanted to eat alone.

But he still has a question: "Have you seen He Manman?"

Zhu Qing woke up like a dream: "Yes, where is that sister? Didn't she come back?"

Xie Ji: "Should she come back?"

Zhu Qing: "She was sold to Chenjiacun by that bastard Qin Ben. In fact, she is not in good health. It may be that we are more docile and obedient, and Chenjiacun is preparing to deal with the 'archaeological team', so the defense is relatively lax. We So I found an opportunity to let her escape first, and then made a dummy out of clothes and straw, thinking that she could hide it from you for a while, and she could also tip you off, what about her?"

Xie Ji rubbed his thumb against the side of his index finger.

These girls were in a predicament and suffered a lot of filth and malice. Everyone wanted to see the sunshine on the ground again. Finally, there was a chance to escape, and everyone gave it to the one who was in poor health and needed it more.

But there is more than kindness in this world.

He Manman was still found after escaping, and unfortunately died during the struggle.

Xie Quan was furious when he heard that, "Where's Qin Ben? You bastard! You bastard! Find him, and I'll beat him to death."

There was coldness in Zhu Qing's crying eyes: "He and Wei Shang are already dead."

Xie Quan: "Dead?"

Zhu Qing: "Their surname is not Chen."

Xie Quan reacted and hammered his fist on the table: "It's cheaper for them."

During the conversation, the door was suddenly kicked open from the outside.

Chen Cun blocked the door with his hands in his hands, and behind him was a group of villagers from Chenjia Village holding weapons. They stood behind their backs, and everyone's face was covered with a layer of fierce and terrifying shadows.

Chen Cun looked around the hall, and as expected, he found several women who had escaped in the cellar by the wall.

When the woman saw them, she screamed in fright, and squeezed into a deeper corner.

He sneered, and said to Xie Zhi, who was obviously the backbone of the team: "This leader, it's against the rules for you to keep things from our village privately."

Xie Quan slapped the table and stood up: "Bah! Shameless old thing! They are not anyone's property!"

Chen Cun was not angry either: "Young people nowadays really don't understand what it means to respect the old and love the young."

He reached back, and someone put something in his palm.

And he didn't even look at it, he just threw it at Xie Ji's feet.

It was Si You's blood-stained coat.
