Altar of Infinity

Xie Ji found himself on the deck of a crude cruise ship.

There was wind and rain in front of me, surrounded by endless sea water, and the salty smell hit my face.

He has been on countless cruise ships for more than 20 years, but when he saw a cruise ship for the first time, he immediately recognized the scene he was in.

The cruise ship has only two floors, and the glass covered with plaster is washed with muddy marks when it is washed by the rain. There are thick rust stains on the so-called stainless steel guardrail, and a layer of skin can be peeled off with a hand.

His breathing gradually became heavy.

"No! One hundred million is not enough! Two people need two hundred million! Add money, add money to them!"

"[-] million, without consecutive numbers, how do you take it away?!"

"There are five of us in total, and each of the 2000 million can only be divided into 2000 million. This is the son of the Yang family and the Xie family. Believe it or not, if you are caught, you will die? I will not do [-] million for such a big risk!"

"Isn't that right? You didn't do much to tie up these two little bastards. You just drove a cruise ship and stopped by the sea. We took the risk. You're a bit too greedy to share 2000 million."

"Don't you need money for the cruise? Can you do things without me? You have to reimburse me for this money!"

"Reimbursement for you? If you didn't have a cruise ship, you wouldn't even have the chance to join a partnership!"

"Then don't call me if you have the guts! It was said to be equal at the time, but what does it mean now!"

"Let you take care of those two cubs, have you taken care of them! The big one and the little one are almost burned to death! You still have the face to ask for money? I tell you that I have endured you for a long time!"

"I have endured you for a long time!"

It has been 20 years, but Xie Ji still remembers every word he heard when the accident happened.

When these words reappeared in his ears, the anguish and anger that had been suppressed for 20 years surged up. He seemed to be thrown into magma. Even if it rained heavily, his whole body would still be burning.

One of the five prisoners died on the spot due to diving, and the other four were sentenced to death for kidnapping. They were sent to Yang Yuan to be buried with Yang Yuan as early as 20 years ago.

Xie Ji is no longer the six-year-old kid who has a high fever and has difficulty swallowing saliva.

He wanted to rush in and beat the kidnappers to save Yang Yuan, and took Yang Yuan away in the boat prepared by the kidnappers in advance, but he found that even though time had passed and he came to the past as an adult, he still couldn't even move a finger.

Xie Ji exhaled forcefully.

calm.

Thank you, calm down.

Things are long gone, everything is an illusion.

He closed his eyes and quietly perceived the surrounding situation.

He was still wearing the shirt and trousers from the level. It was early winter when he was kidnapped, and he should have felt the cold because of the wind and rain.

But as his breathing became steady, the coldness gradually faded away.

The wind and rain pierced through him like a knife, like a ghost strayed into the river of time.

At the same time, his perception of his surroundings became clearer and clearer.

The intensified quarrel, the howling wind, Yang Yuan's hoarse voice from crying, and... the piano music before stepping into the illusion.

Xie Ji opened his eyes suddenly.

He can still hear piano music.

He can be sure that the piano music threw him into his memory, but what is the purpose of doing so?

Because he can't move now, Xie Ji can only think.

If he can never move, and the purpose of the piano piece is to crush him with pain and powerlessness, then the hallucination itself is "the most painful memory".

If active, he will try to change the past, then the illusion itself becomes "the most wanted situation".

Or the answer is between the two, the piano music sees that he is unmoved, will untie his shackles when the illusion is about to end, send him back to reality, or put him into a new round of tests, in this answer, he I don't believe that piano music will have good intentions.

"what are you doing!"

"Put down that Yang!"

"stop!"

The plot finally reached its climax, when one of the kidnappers fell out with his accomplices and came to the deck with the young Yang Yuan in his arms.

"You all look down on me! You will regret it!"

The moment the kidnapper jumped into the sea with Yang Yuan in his arms, Xie Ji was finally able to move. He rushed towards Yang Yuan and hugged him in his arms the moment Yang Yuan fell into the water.

Yang Yuan is young, the weight in his arms is so light that he can hardly feel it, but the touch is clearly transmitted to the nerve endings.

After huge waves, they were surrounded by icy water.

Xie Ji understands that the past cannot be traced back, even if he saves Yang Yuan in the hallucination, it is just a false comfort for him alone, and the reality will make him even bigger.

He was very calm, except for an imperceptible stretch at the end of his eyebrows.

The two kept sinking in the sea, and at a certain moment when they closed their eyes, Xie Ji's back suddenly fell to the ground.

When he opened his eyes again, Yang Yuan in his arms disappeared, and there was also a long marble staircase in front of him.

The steps and handrails were extremely dark, and there were no lights or skylight around, but he was able to see things in the darkness, and he could even move.

Xie Ji's heart seemed to be gripped by something, and the feeling of envelopment and suffocation was worse than that of sea water.

He looked up, and there was an ancient bench at the end of the stairs, and Jiang Jichu, who was pulled into the illusion together with him, was sitting quietly on it.

There were more than a hundred meters between them, even if Xie Ji had good eyesight, he shouldn't have seen Jiang Jichu's state so clearly.

But everything is possible in the illusion, he just saw it, and felt a deep-seated sadness.

Jiang Jichu wore a luxurious gown with intricate patterns over his deep sea-colored shirt, and tightly hugged an exquisite box with his hands.

In the environment where Xie Ji couldn't breathe, Jiang Jichu closed his eyes, he should be so satisfied with everything, that there was a peaceful smile on his usually indifferent facial features.

Is Jiang Jichu above a real person?Why did he see Jiang Jichu?Whose memory is it now?

The long ladder is dark and cold, not even the light can penetrate, so what a good place it could be.

Xie Ji tried to take a step, and called out to the end of the stairs: "Jiang Jichu!"

Jiang Jichu on the bench seemed to move, and his expression changed from calm to puzzled.

There is a reaction!

He might have entered Jiang Jichu's illusion, and they were linked together!

Xie Ji walked up the stairs: "Jiang Jichu, wake up! Jiang Jichu!"

Under Xie Ji's call, Jiang Jichu slowly opened his eyes.

He quickly locked on to the source of the sound, and stood up abruptly the moment he saw Xie Ji.

It wasn't the joy of meeting an acquaintance, or the confusion of finding himself in an illusion, Jiang Jichu's face was filled with intense panic and anger.

"Thank you for posting!" He dropped the box without hesitation, and the Chinese clothes fell from him, and he ran down the long steps without hesitation.

The infinite loop of piano music just reached the chorus, the hero and heroine reunited after a long absence, the music is warm and beautiful, but in such a weird and chaotic scene, Xie Ji felt even more desolate.

He also ran towards Jiang Jichu. According to Jiang Jichu's running style, he might fall off if he made a wrong step.

As they got closer and closer, Jiang Jichu also began to realize that he was in an illusion. Panic and anger were removed from him one by one like scales, as if slowly transforming from a monster into a human. When he came to Xie Ji, he had recovered. To usual calm.

"Where is this place?"

"Why are you here?"

The two spoke out at the same time, and laughed at the same time after hearing each other's words.

The thing holding Xie Ji's heart disappeared invisible, he smiled and pulled Jiang Jichu up to go down: "What is this place?"

Jiang Jichu looked back and seemed to be a little puzzled: "I don't know."

do not know?

Xie Ji: "Isn't this your memory?"

Jiang Jichu shook his head: "No, I'm sure I don't have the habit of sleeping on such a high place."

Xie Ji: "We are drawn into the illusion by the piano music, and the scenes in the illusion must be related to ourselves, such as the expected situation, painful memories, etc."

Jiang Jichu was silent for a moment: "It should be anticipation."

Xie Ji looked around the long steps again: "Then the place you are looking forward to saves electricity."

Jiang Jichu said indifferently: "It has nothing to do with the place."

Xie Ji: "That box? What's inside?"

Jiang Jichu clenched his fists, as if he wanted to go back to get it, but restrained himself abruptly: "My brother and I planted the flowers together."

Xie Ji was slightly taken aback.

Jiang Jichu didn't expect wealth, fame and fortune, but he didn't want to go out. In such a strong atmosphere, he was just holding the flowers he planted with Lao Shizi's brother.

Then he was faintly happy again.

When he just woke up Jiang Jichu, Jiang Jichu was awake but not conscious, didn't realize that he was in an illusion, even so he still threw the box and ran towards him.

Xie Ji coughed lightly: "Have you heard the piano music?"

Jiang Jichu: "I heard it."

Xie Ji briefly talked about the illusion he encountered: "Although I feel sorry for what happened 20 years ago, I don't hope to go back to the past and change anything. That is unrealistic."

Jiang Jichu: "So the illusion you encountered was trying to annoy you with your painful memories."

"Yes, that is to say, there are two kinds of illusions brought about by piano music, memories, or the expected future." Xie Ji paused, and continued, "We must find a way to get out, otherwise we may end up in countless illusions. Sink."

But the scenes of each illusion are extremely real, and where is the exit hidden...

Jiang Jichu: "Piano music is the key point."

Xie Ji: "Yes, we have to defeat it before we can get out. I don't know what the next illusion will be. Maybe we can find some clues from it."

Xie Ji stepped down the last step, and the solid marble floor under his feet suddenly changed.

They came to a wide scene, the time was night, the windy and rainy coastline stretched for several kilometers, and the lightning flashed one after another, as if to tear the sky open.

Xie Ji looked around: "Where is this..."

He froze before he finished speaking.

Not far away were two men standing in the sea and kissing.

Xie Ji has no opinion on homosexuality. Although it is windy and rainy, but there is no one else on the coast, people are free to kiss wherever they want, and the two people are also pleasing to the eye, with some injuries on their bodies. The kiss after the war damage is so exciting Ah, he even thought of clapping.

——If those two men didn't have the same face as himself and Jiang Jichu.

Xie Ji felt like he was being hit by thunder from the sky.
