Altar of Infinity

Unjustly dead souls drilled out of the mud one by one, looking for the person who tortured and killed them. The painful wailing of the perpetrator resounded in the afterglow of the sunset in Chenjia Village.

Most of them are still young, and some parents are reluctant to let them wash the bowls. They should be loved like apples and bless them with a life of peace and joy. The biggest worries are heavy schoolwork, endless test papers, or ignorance. dormitory relationship.

There are also people who will help their parents with farm work during the busy season, and act like a baby in their parents' arms after returning home at night.

The older ones have entered the society after more than ten years of education. They have the skills to serve the motherland and earn money to return to their families.

After get off work, you may hold a cup of milk tea and complain to your boss with your little sister, study which new lipstick is beautiful, read a book or play a few games, then take a shower and sleep, and continue to create value for society the next day.

They could have had their own life and a future with infinite possibilities.

The flowers have just bloomed, and before they have time to prove themselves to the world, they are sold to Chenjia Village due to goodwill, negligence, or various outrageous reasons.

Beaten, imprisoned//imprisoned, abused, raped//X, deprived of name, identity, dignity and love, suffered inhuman torture and even lost their lives, the corpses will remain forever and ever between these mountains and ravines.

They shed blood and tears, used their hands, teeth, and tools to avenge themselves and their dead sisters in every possible way.

The resentment and despair that had been suppressed for a long time all broke out at this moment, like hot magma flooding the entire Chenjia Village.

"I remember you! I remember you!"

"You are not worthy of descendants! The Chen family village is not worthy of inheritance!"

"I'm in so much pain, do you remember why I'm in so much pain?"

"Give me my life and my family back! Give me back!"

Xie Quan stood in a daze. He grew up in love and was extremely sensitive to emotions. The crying all over the mountains made him unable to hold back his tears.

The rest of the passers-by were also affected by the contagious grief and sighed regretfully.

"Don't stand still! Go rescue other people who are locked up at home!" Xie Ji reminded.

Everyone woke up and scattered in all directions.

In order to attack them, people from Chenjia Village gathered near the guest house, and the process of rescuing the surviving victims went smoothly.

But Xie Ji never let up. After rescuing the last victim, he warned: "Your... companions will protect you, don't leave the village for now, go collect dry food first, and there will be a mountain road to escape later on the mountain , when the time comes, we will go together together."

After he finished speaking, he began to collect gasoline stored by various companies without stopping.

"Thank you," Jiang Jichu looked towards the forest, "They are here."

The night fell completely, and a large piece of Fuxiu tree shook strangely in the darkness.

As the guardian evil spirit of Chenjia Village, Purple Python rushed into the village from the forest with its snake son and grandson.

Seeing that a purple snake was about to bite He Manman's shoulder, a red snake sprang out from behind her, two snakes, and countless snakes fought together.

The purple python hissed a few times, bowed and rushed towards Xie Ji and the others.

It has injuries all over its body, but its speed has not slowed down at all.

Si You was full of anger, climbed up to the roof in twos and twos, and jumped towards the head of the purple python with a dagger in both hands.

A dagger pierced the purple python's left eyeball, and the blood exploded in the air.

The fragile eyeballs were not enough to support her weight, she was supposed to fall downwards, but the dagger held in her right hand pierced into the center of the purple python's eyebrows without any gaps, and with the strength of a square inch, Siyou turned over and jumped onto the top of the purple python's head.

The purple python swayed violently, Siyou stabbed into its body with a dagger, but the python's body was slippery and the dagger was small, the situation was extremely unfavorable for her.

Siyou cursed at Jiang Jichu: "How long do you have to watch the show?!"

When facing the villagers, Jiang Jichu had been beating people with the scabbard all the time. Now that the sharp blade finally had a chance to drink blood, he said flatly, "I thought you wanted to solo the audience."

A cold light flashed across the air, and Jiang Jichu rushed out like an arrow.

Xie Ji carried the packed gasoline barrel: "Jiang Jichu! Go up the mountain!"

Lured by Jiang Jichu and Siyou, Zi Mang chased them back to the forest.

Xie Ji waited at a high place in advance, and shouted to the two who were still entangled with the purple python: "Get ready!"

Jiang Jichu took the lead in running to a high place, and after finding a suitable place, he stood still with the knife in his hand.

Si You felt that the first time she met Jiang Jichu was to fight, but the fight also came out of tacit understanding. Seeing Jiang Jichu's posture, she immediately jumped away from the purple python, and then ran towards Xie Ji without hesitation.

Jiang Jichu seized the opportunity and jumped down, cutting the long knife horizontally into the bloody mouth of the purple python.

He let out a low snort, gravity dragged him down like a jumping machine, the long knife pierced the skin around the purple python's mouth and continued downward, a blood-colored waterfall bursting out of the air with a stench that was still widening.

Suffering such a painful blow, ordinary creatures basically have no chance of surviving.

But the purple python just rolled on the spot in pain, and the tail slapped the whole mountain shaking.

He turned over and landed firmly, grabbed the long knife and followed Si You up the mountain.

Xie Quan cut a huge hole in the gasoline barrel, and Xie Ji poured the whole barrel on the body of the purple python and the Fuxiu tree next to it from a promising location.

Then, he drew the gun from his waist, and the bullet hit the Fuxiu tree through the air, sparking sparks, and the gasoline was instantly ignited.

The flames soared into the sky, forming a sea of ​​flames with lightning speed.

Jiang Jichu fell to the end in order to create a chance, Xie Ji pulled him over and ran to the open space on the top of the mountain with him.

The fire on Zi Mang's body could not be extinguished no matter what, so he simply gave up struggling and chased the four people running in front enduring the torment of the fire.

Its body is on fire, and all the Fuxiu trees it goes are lit, it is simply an excellent tool for starting fire.

Although he was seriously injured, the purple python was extremely angry, and his speed was even faster than before.

Seeing that it was getting closer and closer to Xie Ji and Jiang Jichu, the last of the four, a huge red figure jumped out of the fire, bit the purple python by the neck, and brought it back into the flames.

Xie Ji and the others stopped on the wide platform at the top of the mountain, and the fire was getting bigger and bigger. Fortunately, Xie Ji calculated properly, so they didn't burn any of them.

Xie Quan lay on the ground panting, the other three were not so tired, they stood side by side not far away and looked down the mountain.

The red python bit the purple python and shuttled through the mountain forest, and the whole mountain was ablaze. Even after such a distance, they could still faintly hear the continuous wailing in the village.

The fire burned for nearly a night, and the evil was gradually wiped out.

After tonight, there will be no more Chen Family Village in the world.

By dawn, only a few wisps of fire remained.

Fu Xiushu was completely burned, the purple python was completely dead, and there was not a single purple snake left.

A blank road slowly appeared among the mountains.

Xie Quan saw people walking up the mountain road supporting each other from a distance, he was overjoyed but also somewhat sad: "The living people still have a chance to live again, but those who unfortunately died..."

Si You took out a glass bottle from his pocket and handed it to Xie Quan: "Open it."

Xie Quan blinked: "What is this?"

Si You said softly, "It's their future."

Fluorescent green light rose from the mouth of the bottle into the sky, like a bright and magnificent galaxy, and when it reached the village, it turned into fine stars and fell on each victim's body.

Xie Ji looked at the empty bottle curiously: "props?"

Si You: "Yes, the requiem bottle."

Xie Ji glanced at Si You without any trace.

Where did she go during the hours she disappeared?

He and Si You were not acquainted, and the other party was secretive when talking to Jiang Jichu, obviously not wanting others to know, so he didn't ask.

The maliciousness of this level was heavier than every level he had passed, and it made his heart feel stuffy.

After returning to the real world, set up a relief fund related to trafficking.

Xie Ji shook his head, trying to dispel the suffocation in his heart, he found a place slightly lower on the top of the mountain, picked up a wooden stick and dug a small hole.

Xie Quan leaned over: "Brother, what are you doing?"

Xie Ji took out a few red seeds from his pocket and buried them carefully: "Plant trees."

The seeds will grow into towering trees, and the wind will send the seeds to every corner of the mountain.

There may be new people building new villages in this land, but as long as there is "hope" blooming all over the mountains and plains, everything will be fine.

Not long after, they returned to the main city.

·

The civilian area is no different from when they left. They seem to have stepped back from a poor mountain village to the civilized world.

Xie Ji glanced at the time.

Eleven in the morning.

Time to find a place to have lunch.

He turned his head to look at Jiang Jichu.

After all, after the fever subsided, he had tossed with the villagers and the giant python, and stayed overnight in such a cold place on the top of the mountain. Jiang Jichu was yawning without energy.

Xie Ji touched Jiang Jichu's forehead, it was burning but not burning: "Eat a meal and sleep well."

Jiang Jichu refused without even thinking about it: "You guys eat, I have something to do."

Xie Ji frowned: "I'm still sick, can't I do it tomorrow?"

Jiang Jichu said vaguely: "It's okay, I'll go find my friend, you guys eat first."

Still feeling unwell, haven't even eaten, and want to find friends as soon as you go out?

Xie Ji made a guess: "The friend you said before that you wanted to join the team."

Jiang Jichu: "Yes."

Xie Ji felt a strange feeling in his heart. He couldn't tell what it was, but it was uncomfortable. Seeing Jiang Jichu turning his head and wanting to leave, he suddenly said, "Call me out to have a meal together?"

As soon as the words came out, both of them were taken aback.

Xie Ji suppressed his sense of weirdness and explained: "Teammates are a two-way choice."

Jiang Jichu didn't say yes, nor said no, he stopped in place with some hesitation.

They were not in the same team as Xie Quan and Si You, and they were teleported to different places after they came out, which happened to be not far away.

Two people with outstanding height and appearance can easily attract attention when talking on the street, and Xie Quan quickly spotted them.

"Brother! You are here!" Xie Quan trotted over pulling Siyou, "What are you doing standing here, blocking the road?"

"..."

If you can’t speak, you don’t have to. The sidewalk is very wide.

Xie Ji patted Jiang Jichu: "Talk to your senior about the new teammate he likes."

Siyou knew before that Jiang Jichu wanted to recruit people into the team, but he didn't ask who it was. Seeing that Xie Ji also knew about it, he asked curiously: "By the way, Jiang Jichu, you haven't said who you want to form a team with?" .”

Jiang Jichu calmly said, "Yin Lin."

Si You was surprised and puzzled: "Yin Lin?!"

Chapter 74 Killing, but Jiang Jichu seemed to deliberately expose his fragile neck to him, quietly waiting for a trial.

After Jiang Jichu finished speaking, he agreed with Xie Ji on the meeting place, and then left alone.

Xie Quan blinked his eyes twice, looking at Si You expectantly: "Do you know Yin Lin?"

On the street with people coming and going, Si You denied it.

"I don't know, I've heard of it.

"The death rate at the altar is very high. Yin Lin is the one I know so far. I don't know how long he has survived the longest at the altar.

"He regrets his life. It is said that he has passed the sixth floor, but he still refuses to go to the seventh floor. This is probably one of the reasons why he can live for a long time."

Xie Ji couldn't help being a little puzzled.

According to what Si You said, Yin Lin had no intention of breaking into the seventh floor at all, so how confident was Jiang Jichu in persuading him to join the team?

He asked, "Is Yin Lin very powerful?"

Si You: "I only know that for so many years, he bought houses in three regions and spent a lot of points, but he never fell out of the top ten in the points list."

Xie Ji: "Points leaderboard?"

"You don't know?" Si You thought for a while, "Maybe you just missed the time when you issued the book. The points ranking is displayed on the big screen in the square of the common area from the first day to the third day of every month. It lists the top [-] altar points. the name of the person."

Xie Quan asked curiously: "Who is No.1?"

Siyou shrugged: "The second to first place all have specific names, only No.1 is a mess of characters, it may be to protect the safety of No.1, or there may be some bug."

Xie Quan pulled Xie Ji's wrist, and glanced at his wristwatch with the date: "Tomorrow is the first day of junior high school, brother, let's go see it tomorrow too."

Xie Ji agreed.

He originally wanted to see how far Jiang Jichu's points could rank, but the two of them were tied to the life and death book, and Jiang Jichu's points were also cleared, so he probably wouldn't be able to rank among the top [-].

Judging from this, Yin Lin is indeed a good teammate. He has been at the altar for a long time, and he may know more things than Jiang Jichu, and his strength is also very strong.

After chatting, they found a place to eat and stayed in the hotel where they stayed last time.

Xie Ji waited from noon until sunset, and there were several groups of people who came to find him to join the organization, but they never waited until Jiang Jichu.

The window of the room was not closed, and there was constant noise in the street, but it was all like a layer of blurred background sound, only Jiang Jichu's "brother" at the stairs rang clearly in his mind.

Xie Ji raised his palm, he even remembered the touch of that waist.

Thinner and lighter than expected.

Although Jiang Jichu's is a bit thinner, it's not the dry type, every inch of muscle is tight and smooth, and there are a few distinct abdominal muscles on the upper body.

Just like Jiang Jichu.

It looks like a piece of pure ice on the top of a high mountain that does not eat the fireworks of the world, but in fact it is arrogant and ruthless, greedy and loves to eat snacks, and recently learned to seduce people, and secretly embarrassed after teasing herself.

It's just that I like to hide things, and I have a lot of thoughts. If I am impatient, I might start fighting early.

I don't know what is worrying about my mind every day. I am so depressed that I have a fever. I went to Yin Lin as soon as the book came out. It must be to discuss something.

Why are you looking for Yin Lin, aren't they teammates?

Xie Ji felt that it was necessary to have a good chat with Jiang Jichu about this issue, to strengthen Jiang Jichu's trust in the organization, so as not to hurt his heart or his body, how could his small body survive.

·

After Jiang Jichu left Yin Lin's place, he went to the cemetery again. Maybe it was because the weakness caused by the fever hadn't faded away, and because he had spent too much energy talking with Yin Lin, he felt dizzy on the way back to the hotel.

He learned the message from Xie Ji from the front desk, chose the room opposite Xie Ji, and went upstairs with the room card.

The card made contact with the sensor, making a beeping sound. Just as Jiang Jichu was about to push the door in, the door of the room behind him was suddenly opened.

Xie Ji changed into light casual clothes, and looked at him with his arms folded in a relaxed and relaxed manner.

Xie Ji's thoughts were rarely written on his face, but Jiang Jichu suddenly felt guilty.

He realized that Xie Ji seemed unhappy.

With his cousin's death and his younger brother's long-term illness, Xie Ji will inevitably pay more attention to the health of those around him. He ran to find Yin Lin when he was not well, and came back so late.

"Back?" Xie Ji said casually.

Jiang Jichu didn't dare to look at Xie Ji's expression, lowered his head and said, "Yes."

Xie Ji looked at Jiang Jichu who seemed to know that he had made a mistake, and looked at Jiang Jichu who was looking down pitifully, but couldn't help laughing.

She really looks like the little daughter-in-law Si You said.

He walked towards the room with one hand on Jiang Jichu's shoulders, and touched the other's forehead with the other, feeling a chill without surprise.

He asked helplessly, "Does your head hurt?"

Jiang Jichu honestly shook his head.

Xie Ji said "Okay", took the hot water bottle in the room without complaint, boiled the hot water after rinsing, and poured the medicine prescribed by Xie Quan.

The wall of the disposable water cup became hot, Xie Ji put his finger on the rim and put the water cup on the bedside, and sat next to Jiang Jichu.

Xie Ji: "How was the conversation with that friend of yours?"

Jiang Jichu: "Have lunch with us tomorrow."

Jiang Jichu knew that Siyou must have told Xie Ji that Yin Lin hadn't gone to the seventh floor for many years, and thought that Xie Ji would ask him how to persuade him, but he didn't expect that the other party reached out to pinch his chin and gently lifted his head up lifted.

The gazes of the two collided at close range, and Jiang Jichu met a pair of gentle and patient eyes.

Xie Ji felt the stiffness of Jiang Jichu's body, like a taut string, even if he returned to the hotel room, which symbolized rest and safety, he would not let it go.

Ever since they met, Jiang Jichu had been like this, as if there were two heavy mountains on his shoulders.

Obviously, he only likes to shrink in the corner and do his own thing when passing the test, but he has to work again and again, even a bit self-assertive.

Decided to go through the barriers with him, charge for him, carry the knife for him, and tried my best to gather enough team members.

He let go of his hand, and said in a gentle voice, "Ji Chu, are you tired?"

Jiang Jichu didn't know why.

Xie Ji rubbed Jiang Jichu's head, just like rubbing Xie Quan on weekdays: "I know you really want to avenge your brother, but haste makes waste. You also said that if you want to return to the real world, you must Don't be in a hurry to leave the altar, right?"

Jiang Jichu nodded following his words.

Xie Ji: "Then what are you anxious about? Tell me and I will analyze it for you?"

The light in the hotel room was turned on to the second gear, and the light was warm yellow. There was a soft mattress under him, and the reassuring familiar atmosphere surrounded Jiang Jichu. He held both sides of the disposable water glass with both hands.

The water glass was too hot, and he didn't cover it completely, but only touched it from time to time, so that the heat could dissipate the chill from his body.

Every detail is full of hints of relaxation, and Xie Ji's tone is extraordinarily gentle, with imperceptible inductiveness.

Jiang Jichu's strong vigilance was disintegrated inch by inch, reason kept pulling in his mind, and his dangling wrist trembled secretly.

After a while, Jiang Jichu said, "I'm sorry."

Xie Ji's voice rang in his ears: "What are you sorry for?"

Jiang Jichu: "The team is a whole, I shouldn't act without authorization, without discussing with you."

Xie Ji couldn't help but laugh.

A lone wolf like Jiang Jichu even learned the words "the team is a whole" after going out for a trip.

He patted Jiang Jichu's shoulder again: "Everyone has their own secrets, and I respect yours, but we've known each other for so long, is there something I can share for you?"

Reason told Jiang Jichu that he should ask a few sensitive but innocuous questions to reassure Xie Ji, but after thinking about it, there was really nothing he could say.

He remembered the conversation with Yin Lin in the afternoon.

Shi Zhi didn't go out to buy groceries, there were only the two of them left at home.

He asked Yin Lin: "With your pride, can you accept this result?"

Yin Lin didn't answer but asked instead: "You are equally proud, haven't you already accepted it?"

He saw extremely weak hope in Yin Lin's eyes. They all knew that this result was an insult, but Yin Lin still had the last sliver of hope.

And he ruthlessly destroyed Yin Lin's fantasy: "So I dare not let Xie Ji know, how about you, can you tell the farewell without hiding it? Do you dare to let him know?"

Yin Lin closed his eyes.

Yin Lin dare not, he thought.

Jiang Jichu looked down at the watch on his wrist which had gone through twists and turns again, the minute hand ran across the small divisions regularly, repeating infinitely according to the established procedure.

He just wanted to conceal one thing, but he had to use a thousand lies to cover up one lie.

He said hoarsely, "I'm sorry, thank you."

This was the second time Jiang Jichu said sorry at night, and Xie Ji encouraged him: "What are you sorry for me?"

Jiang Jichu raised his head: "Anyone who returns to Novice Pass from the seventh floor will be targeted by the altar. The knife at the funeral parlor was actually aimed at me."

"Aiming at you?" Xie Ji paused for comfort, recalling the situation at that time, "I remember that the person Zhang Ming wanted to kill was me."

"It's not you, it's me..." Jiang Jichu closed his eyes, "Do you still remember the situation at that time, the wall is on your left, the architectural decoration is behind you, and me is on the right."

Xie Ji: "Remember."

"In that case, I can completely avoid it. If it wants to kill me, it can only stab you with a knife, because it knows that I cannot accept others dying for me, and I will definitely block it for you. "Jiang Jichu showed a wry smile, "I'm the one who hurt you."

Xie Ji's first reaction was that there was nothing to apologize for.

Then he realized the seriousness of the problem, and he asked: "Who is it?"

Jiang Jichu's voice was cold: "'Kill'."

Xie Ji: "The boss that belongs directly to the Queen?"

Jiang Jichu: "Yes, those who can reach the seventh floor are of extraordinary strength. They return to the novice level and start over, which can easily cause crushing. 'Kill' is the Queen's dog. It will occasionally end in person, giving the failure of the seventh floor. increases the difficulty."

Without waiting for Xie Ji to continue asking, Jiang Jichu said again: "Siyou left for a while during the Sheguo checkpoint, right? Because 'killing' appeared again, according to the timeline, it came to me first..."

Xie Ji interrupted: "It went to you?"

Jiang Jichu: "Yes. When you and Xie Quan went to find Yang Dan, it came to the guest house to look for me, but I was lying on the bed uncomfortable at the time, it didn't attack me, it only mocked me a few words, after that, it should go to I found Si You. It is impossible for Si You to give in to that kind of thing, so I fought with it. Judging from Si You's face later, it should be that I didn't get a good deal. Killing' knowledge made speculation."

Xie Ji finally understood why Jiang Jichu was so anxious at the tower level that represented 'killing'.

'Killing' was ordered by the Queen, and loves to make trouble, Jiang Jichu didn't want to get him involved.

He raised half of his eyebrows indifferently: "That's all?"

"'Delusion' is in charge of the book of life and death. We can go find it, and it is possible to unbind the book of life and death. Xie Ji, it will be very dangerous to continue forming a team with me..."

Jiang Jichu raised his chin slightly and looked up at Xie Ji.

Xie Ji also did this action when facing Chen Cun, but he did it out of disdain for Chen Cun, while Jiang Jichu seemed to deliberately expose his fragile neck to him, quietly waiting for a trial.

After a while.

"I don't mind," Xie Ji said, "Intellectually speaking, an excellent teammate is more valuable than a low-difficulty level. From an emotional point of view, am I the kind of person who abandons teammates because of difficulties? As the saying goes, you can’t be burdened with too much debt.”

He took the disposable water cup that had become just the right temperature and handed it to Jiang Jichu: "I will explain this matter to Xie Quan, and I will also assume the responsibility of making a choice, protect him well, and don't worry about such trivial things in the future , beat your monsters well."

Jiang Jichu said in a daze: "Small matter? Then what is a big matter?"

Xie Ji pushed the water glass into Jiang Jichu's arms: "Drinking medicine is the most important thing for you now, hurry up, it will be cold if you don't drink it."

Jiang Jichu almost obediently obeyed the order and drank the medicine in one gulp, and Xie Ji took off his coat and pressed him into bed.

Xie Ji's outline is three-dimensional, which inevitably has a bit of a man's sharpness, but at this moment, the warm light blurs the sharpness into a gentleness like a spring breeze, and the water in the lake in his eyes is also turbulent.

He pulled the corner of the quilt for Jiang Jichu, and put it on the back of Jiang Jichu's hands through the quilt.

"I understand that you are used to being alone, and you like to handle everything by yourself. On the one hand, you are independent, and on the other hand, you are afraid that others will be bored if you say it.

"But Jiang Jichu, I promised you.

"I will not betray, nor will I leave you.

"You can try to trust me a little more and tell me whatever happens.

"I'll always be by your side."

Xie Ji got up from the bed: "Sleep, have a good dream."
