Altar of Infinity

It was the Hotel A in the slum area last time.

The range of points that can be obtained in the first level is 1000-5000 points, and they get full points. Based on the minimum living standard of 200 points per day, they can stay in the slums for nearly a month at most.

After leaving the first level, the work clothes on their bodies were automatically replaced with the clothes they wore when they entered the level. His was fine, but Jiang Jichu's could no longer be worn, so he had to buy new ones.

With the addition of medicines and other sundries, you can stay for 20 days at least.

Under the cheap light, Jiang Jichu was sitting at the end of the bed with his upper body bare. His face was pale, his hands were clenched into fists, and the veins and blood vessels on the back of his hands burst violently. Every movement Xie Ji made behind him would disrupt his breathing rhythm.

Zhang Ming's knife was not an ordinary knife, and his body was cold, so the injury was even more serious.

When Xie Ji bandaged him again, a thin layer of cold sweat had accumulated on his head.

Jiang Jichu: "Thank you."

Xie Ji: "You should, if it wasn't for me, you wouldn't have to suffer this."

After a brief pause, the two spoke at the same time.

Xie Ji: "I've been resting in bed for the past two days."

Jiang Jichu: "I'll go out for a while."

……

Xie Ji: "With such an injury, where do you want to go?"

Jiang Jichu: "Go outside the city."

Xie sent it clear, Jiang Jichu was going to see his brother, he thought for a moment: "Wait a little longer, your brother won't feel at ease seeing you pass like this."

Jiang Jichu didn't insist.

The bathroom is separated from the small room of 30 square meters, and a bed and a set of tables and chairs are placed, and two big men are added to make it even more cramped.

Xie Ji took two steps back, keeping a polite social distance from Jiang Jichulai: "Then how about you sleep for a while?"

"Not sleepy," Jiang Jichu was injured on his back and couldn't lie flat, he changed into a comfortable position, and "hissed" because of the pain caused by the wound, "Are you really just buying Zhang Ming's company? He is ruthless enough. "

Xie Ji stopped where he was before he was about to leave. He put one hand in his pocket casually and looked at Jiang Jichu from top to bottom: "Do you really think that is Zhang Ming?"

Jiang Jichu was taken aback: "What do you mean?"

Xie Ji: "When I fought against it, its attacking moves, angles, and grasp of timing were by no means comparable to Zhang Ming's. It may become aggressive after death in the level, and its strength and speed have improved, but fighting Experience will never be mastered in a vacuum.”

Jiang Jichu: "You suspect that besides Ann, there are other non-human beings in the first level."

"I suspect that it does not belong to the first level," Xie Ji, "it completely disregarded the order of the level, released a group of corpses, and even let the corpse kill the level boss, causing the level to almost collapse. This shows that its existence is above the level above. Is there such a thing on the altar?"

After listening to Xie Ji's words, Jiang Jichu was silent for a while, then leaned forward and opened the window on the wall.

He instinctively squinted his eyes. It was early morning in the main city of the altar, and the warm sunlight poured down against his hand, falling directly at Xie Ji's feet.

Outside the window are old dilapidated small buildings side by side. There are already pedestrians on the narrow concrete streets.

Jiang Jichu's eyes did not stop at the slums, but looked further away.

"look."

There was a bed under the window, Xie Ji had no choice but to stand beside the bed.

Following Jiang Jichu's gaze, he saw the modern buildings in the distance.

Because it was too far away, he didn't look carefully, and could only vaguely recognize that the architectural style was similar to that of second- and third-tier cities in the real world.

Xie Zhi: "Civilian area."

"Yes," Jiang Jichu said, "There are some things that should have been told to you after you pass the second pass and arrive in the civilian area, but if you want to know, it's okay to say it in advance."

When Jiang Jichu spoke, he always spoke with indifference, but now his tone was more blunt than usual.

"The person in charge of the altar is called the queen, and under the queen, there are four bosses who will handle the affairs of the altar for her.

"Among them, Kill is responsible for guarding the Queen.

"Prostitution is responsible for the security of the main city.

"Huang is responsible for the distribution of the book of life and death.

"Wine is in charge of managing the levels.

"Except for the queen, only these four bosses can override the level."

Xie Ji: "Killing, adultery, lying, drinking... Killing, stealing, adultery, lying, drinking, the five precepts of Taoism? Shouldn't there be five bosses? Why are there only four, stealing?"

Jiang Jichu: "It is rumored that there were originally five bosses, but later the 'thieves' died for some reason, and the power corresponding to 'thieves' to pull people into the altar fell back into the hands of the queen."

Xie Ji: "In other words, the big boss in the main city can also be killed."

Jiang Jichu: "It's just a rumor."

Xie Ji thought about it: "According to what you said, the remaining four bosses are all important figures, but I'm just a newcomer to the altar, so I shouldn't attract their attention."

Jiang Jichu: "You asked me if there is an existence above the level, I am only responsible for telling you the answer to this question."

After he finished speaking, he leaned against the wall, half of his face was bathed in the morning light, and the other half of his face was sunk in the darkness. The back molars seemed to be exerting force in the dark, and the muscles on his face were tense, so that he appeared a little come fiercely.

This was the first time that Jiang Jichu showed obvious dislike for something.

Xie Ji: "You hate them."

Jiang Ji's eyes were icy at the beginning: "If it weren't for them, my brother wouldn't..."

Xie Ji: "Have you fought against these four bosses?"

He soon realized something, and added: "The last level...the last level are these four bosses?"

Jiang Jichu: "You have only passed the first level, so you should think about the present first."

Xie Ji looked at the civilian area in the distance.

When "Zhang Ming" killed him, he said, "If you do something, you have to pay the price."

The altar has a long history and a large number of people. He doesn't think the behavior of the first level is enough to attract the attention of the so-called four bosses.

If it wasn't the boss, then who would it be? Did Zhang Ming really mutate after his death?

Xie Ji: "Who do you think opened the door to the morgue?"

"Do you doubt the four bosses?" Jiang Jichu disagreed, "With your current strength, if there is a boss who really wants to kill you, you won't be able to avoid it at all."

Xie Ji analyzed.

"Then there is only one explanation.

"We found that it was too coincidental that Ann possessed Yao Shun, and Ann was a good match. The rules of the level were higher than Ann's, or one level higher than that of the funeral parlor. It was predicted that we could pass Ann. Pass the level in a very short time.

"In an effort to stop this from happening, the rules 'broke' the funeral home checkpoint, releasing bodies from the mortuary to attack us.

"The rules have the power to evoke the dark side of people's hearts, magnify Zhang Ming's hatred for me, and forcibly endow Zhang Ming with the ability to fight.

"What Zhang Ming said requires me to pay a price, and on this basis, there are two possibilities.

"The first refers to my acquisition of his family's company, and the second refers to the fact that we want to use shortcuts to force customs clearance.

"Have you ever encountered such a precedent before?"

Jiang Jichu frowned and thought for a while: "It's very rare. When we broke through the level before, a member of the team accidentally used the wood carving on the shelf as a kindling stick. As a result, the boss of that level happened to be attached to the wood carving. We haven't seen it yet on the first day." After passing, the boss died, and the level collapsed on the spot, and the scene was similar to a group of corpses besieging the cafeteria."

Xie Ji: "But you destroyed the wood carvings first, and the level collapsed, but we haven't had a showdown with Ann yet, the rules are prejudgments."

Jiang Jichu: "I haven't seen an example of prediction, and it may be that the altar is constantly being adjusted."

Xie Ji: "Will the altar be adjusted?"

Jiang Jichu pointed out the window with his chin: "I heard from some old people that these buildings were just thatched cottages at first, then they were built with tile houses, and then they were built into small buildings. Step by step, they became what they are now. If you failed on the seventh floor It will die directly, and then it becomes a new start from the novice level."

According to Jiang Jichu, it is not impossible for him to deduce that the level collapsed due to finding a quick way to clear the level, but he always felt that there was something strange that he couldn't explain.

Before he could figure out why, Jiang Jichu coughed twice.

He stood outside and helped to add some water to Jiang Jichu's empty cup.

"Thank you," Jiang Jichu continued after drinking half a cup, "There is one more thing, you can think about it."

Xie Ji: "What?"

Jiang Jichu took another two sips from the water glass.

"There are four boss statues in the square in the civilian area, and more importantly, the second level is related to these four bosses and five precepts, it is an important watershed.

"Starting from the second level, each level can choose killing, stealing, adultery, arrogance, and alcohol. One of the themes is used as the theme of the level. Only by surviving the second level can you be 'qualified' to learn about the altar.

"That's why everyone said that you should know the altar is running after passing the second level."

It was the first time Xie Ji heard the concept of the level theme, and he added some water to Jiang Jichu's cup: "Expand and tell me?"

Jiang Jichu: "The difficulty of each level will increase. Take killing as an example. You choose 'kill' on the second level, and choose 'kill' on the fourth level. Although they are both of the same type, the difficulty will be different."

Xie Ji: "If it's the same level of level, is there any difference in level difficulty represented by these five precepts?"

Jiang Jichu: "Theoretically speaking, there is no such thing, but based on my experience, I recommend choosing 'Kill' for the second level, which is relatively the most difficult type. The weakest second layer to break through."

·

Under the unique recovery buff of the main city of the altar, Jiang Jichu recovered from his injuries extremely quickly, but it was not completely healed.

According to Xie Ji's calculations, there was no time left for the scar, but there was still a long and narrow bloodstain on Jiang Jichu's back.

In this regard, Jiang Jichu claimed that it was due to an old injury, and said that it would not affect the action. The two packed up and set off for the altar.

Inside the altar is still endless white mist and endless spiral stairs.

Xie sent to the suspended second floor.

In the white mist on the second floor, he saw five floating light spheres, each with quaint small seal characters.

He and Jiang Jichu looked at each other, and reached out to the light ball with the word 'kill' written on it.

At the moment when their figures were engulfed by the white light, the maroon-haired woman in a certain level on the first floor of the altar seemed to have sensed it.

The woman frowned and looked up at the blue sky.

After a while, she shrugged, feeling that the matter had nothing to do with her, and pushed open the door and stepped into the house.

"Xie Quan, I'm ready to hand in the task and go out of the checkpoint."
