Death Spiral [Infinite Flow]

After Lian Qiao left, Xu Rendong returned to work in the company. He has been on leave for too long, and he only feels that the days at work are like a lifetime away. After several days of extra shifts, he returned to his original state. It's just that when he came home from a busy day, the lights were dark and he didn't have a hot meal to eat, which made him feel very lonely.

As the saying goes, if I hadn't seen the light, I could have endured the darkness. After Xu Rendong experienced the warmth of home, he could no longer be without Lian Qiao.

On this day, Xu Rendong finally finished the previously accumulated work, and it was rare to have a little spare time. He opens his browser to see what's the latest news. For some reason, I suddenly thought about it, and entered the three words "Nine Links" in the search box. A whole bunch of messy results popped up quickly on the screen.

Among them, what attracted his attention was a paper on the historical origin of the nine series. And the author's signature turned out to be "Ishi Jianchuan".

Xu Rendong followed the vine and found Iwami Chuan's personal information. He was surprised to find that Iwami Chuan turned out to be a university teaching assistant, and his main focus was folklore research.

...I can't see that, such a coquettish person is still a high-level intellectual.

The college where Iwami Chuan works is located in this city. Xu Rendong thought that there were still many things he wanted to ask him, so he left the company early and went to the campus.

Although this college is a famous school, folklore is not a popular major, so the college office is also very remote. Xu Rendong entered the campus, inquired around, and went around for a while before finding the location of the Folklore College. It was an old building that was five stories high. The decoration style was decades ago. There was a thick layer of ivy on the wall. I'm afraid this ivy was older than Xu Rendong.

The surrounding trees are lush, and no one passes by. Xu Rendong looked up, only to feel that this old building was eerie, like a haunted house, and the white figure in the window on the third floor also looked like a ghost...

Huh? How did this man move around on the window?

Xu Rendong watched it for two minutes and felt weird. Suddenly, another face appeared behind the figure, startling Xu Rendong.

The man in the back was obviously taken aback too. The eyes of the two briefly exchanged in the air. In the next second, there was only a clatter. The man opened the window, strode his long legs, and jumped out from the third floor with an aura of killing someone!

Xu Rendong was stunned.

The man upstairs was also stunned.

With a "bang", a white man fell freely to the ground. stunned.

Xu Rendong: "..." I'm not here to catch the rapist, what kind of building are you jumping from, you can't jump in front of me if you want to jump off the building!

What if I hit me! Like talk!

Although I don't quite understand this person's brain circuit, out of humanitarianism, Xu Rendong quickly ran up to confirm his safety. Taking a closer look, the man's skin was white and glowing, and he was naked like a white snake. Xu Rendong was abruptly frightened by his own association and shivered. He suddenly heard footsteps in the corridor, looked up, and saw a stone running down from above.

Ishi Jianchuan greeted him when he saw him: "Oh, thank you for being here."

Xu Rendong: "..." Can you put on your clothes before talking.

Ishi Jianchuan turned his head to confirm the injury of the man on the ground. Seeing that he was not seriously injured, but his forehead was scratched a little, he carried him back to the building with a smile.

Xu Rendong followed upstairs and asked with a pun, "Is his head okay?"

Iwami didn't look back: "It's okay. It's just that I've been a snake for a long time, and I forgot how to be a human being."

Xu Rendong: "..." I seem to have heard something extraordinary!

The Folklore Teaching and Research Office is on the third floor, where the white snake jumped off the building just now. Xu Rendong felt that the fact that the two of them did it in school was an insult to gentleness, and his face was a little ugly unconsciously.

Iwami Chuan poured him a cup of tea, politely asked him to sit, then smiled and said, "Don't mind. I can't control it."

Xu Rendong was stunned, and the teacup almost fell to the ground. It was the first time he saw such a shameless person, but he said it lightly, as if he was not talking about that kind of thing.

Xu Rendong recovered from the embarrassment, and suddenly became afraid.

He remembered that when he was in the dungeon, he always thought that the white snake was a summoned beast of Iwami wear, or some special effect of props. The biggest suspect is of course the black Tang suit embroidered with snake patterns, so much so that he once wanted to steal it...

Luckily not. Otherwise, the White Snake was summoned, and at first glance, it wasn't Shi Jianchuan, and he might just bite him to death.

The water boiled, and the tea cup rose with the aroma of tea. Shi Jianchuan took a sip of tea, squinted his eyes contentedly, and asked, "Did you come to me to ask questions?"

Xu Rendong said: "Yes." He rationalized his thoughts and sat upright, "You said you have cleared all the dungeons, then..."

Iwamizumi interrupted him: "The props are used up. There are seven levels in the dungeon. Don't kill key players for the puppets. No more. Good luck."

Xu Rendong: “…”

His words were short and fast, as if he had already prepared and was waiting for Xu Rendong to ask.

Xu Rendong thought about it and had nothing to ask. I had no choice but to greet each other: "What about after that? What are you going to do?"

Shi Jianchuan glanced at the fair-skinned man beside him, with a smile in his eyes: "The future is uncertain, and the day will come."

Xu Rendong: "..." It really is a very personal statement.

Ishi Jianchuan was flirtatious and flirtatious, but the fair-skinned man was quite introverted. He didn’t make any outrageous reaction when he heard this. He just quietly put his head on Ishi Jianchuan’s shoulder, probably It's a habit left over from being a snake.

In front of Xu Rendong, Ishi Jianchuan politely didn't send a question on the spot, just touched the man's face with a smile.

Xu Rendong was suddenly curious: "Because all the dungeons have been cleared, so he loses his ability and can't change back to a snake?"

Ishi Jianchuan's face suddenly changed slightly, and a strange brilliance flashed in his eyes. He seemed to think of something, but he passed by with a smile.

"No." Ishigami said with a smile, "It's not that I lost the ability to change into a snake, but that I have regained the human body."

Xu Rendong was taken aback. Get it back? It means that the white snake was originally a human, but turned into a snake for some reason?

Ishimi Chuan quickly changed the subject, seemingly unwilling to talk more. Xu Rendong thought that Shi Jianchuan might also have something to hide, just like he couldn't talk to people about the reincarnation of death.

Afterwards, Xu Rendong and the two of them chatted casually and said goodbye to them.

Walking out of the hospital building, it was already dark. Xu Rendong looked back at the third floor subconsciously, and found that Shi Jianchuan was pulling the curtains, and smiled at him.

Looking at this posture, I am afraid it will not be a day and a night.

Xu Rendong smiled and shook his head, and left the college.

I don't know when it is autumn, the night wind is bleak, and the leaves are rustling. Xu Rendong felt a little cold, so he closed the car window. Turning to one side and seeing the empty passenger seat, I suddenly felt lonely.

I miss him.

I haven't seen Lian Qiao for a few days. Today, Ishimi Chuan stuffed a mouth of dog food. Xu Rendong naturally feels lonely.

Lian Qiao has contacted him off and on these days, and then he realized that Lian Qiao went home to show off with his parents. Even Qiao's parents are clinicians. They are very busy at work. They work night shifts and hold academic conferences for a while, and they rarely spend time at home together.

Lian Joe is waiting for an opportunity to talk to his parents about his future.

I wonder how things are going.

Xu Rendong suddenly couldn't hold back his thoughts, so he called Lian Qiao, but Lian Qiao turned off. Send WeChat and don't reply. Xu Rendong felt nervous for a while. He remembered the oolong that happened last time, and when he looked at his watch, it was indeed time for Lian Qiao's live broadcast again.

He took a deep breath. When I got home, I entered the live broadcast room.

Unexpectedly, the live broadcast room is actually a black screen.

The anxiety in my heart suddenly increased. When he saw the barrage, he was also asking, why the anchor was not online today, why the anchor was not online yesterday, why the anchor has not been online for three consecutive days, is it because of the termination of the contract?

Xu Rendong stared at the barrage for a while, but no one could answer these questions.

Lian Qiao didn't live stream for three days. He remembered that Lian Qiao had said that he had signed a contract with a live broadcast platform and had to live broadcast for more than two hours a day. He also had a phone call with Lian Qiao yesterday and the day before yesterday. Lian Qiao on the other end of the phone was still complaining that his parents were too busy, and he didn't know when he would be able to talk about the topic. Today, however, he has no news at all.

I'm afraid...the conversation is broken.

Xu Rendong's heart sank little by little.

He called Lian Qiao's friends one by one. Those were all people who Lian Qiao met online. They knew very little about Lian Qiao's real information. Some didn't even know Lian Qiao's real name, let alone where his family lived.

Xu Rendong was busy all night and found nothing, she just wanted to report to the police station. But thinking about it, Lian Qiao just failed to negotiate with his parents and was locked up in solitary confinement. The police station could not interfere in other people's family affairs.

So, early the next morning, Xu Rendong went to the headquarters of the live broadcast platform Lian Qiao signed to find Lian Qiao's identity information. Unsurprisingly, the headquarters also refused to provide information, because the relationship between Xu Rendong and Lian Qiao could not be determined, and the platform signed a non-disclosure agreement with the anchor, and the real information of the anchor could not be leaked to outsiders.

Outsiders.

Xu Rendong felt a throbbing pain in her heart.

Until now, he suddenly realized that he knew too little about Lian Qiao. He only knew that Lian Qiao was an internet anchor, lived in City B, and his parents were doctors... But what about other than that?

Does Lian Qiao have siblings? What is his major in college? Besides those people on the Internet, what friends does he have in reality?

No idea.

Xu Rendong grew up in an orphanage and has a simple social relationship, so she never thought that Lian Qiao had any other social identity besides his lover. He was always waiting, accepting, but never realized that he should actually ask.

There is only Lian Qiao in his world, and there are many, many more in Lian Qiao's world.

A terrible thought suddenly flashed through my mind.

—If even Joe dies, who can prove that he and he once fell in love?

Xu Rendong sat in the cafe outside the platform headquarters, chills all over, and her heart throbbed. He quickly took the medicine that Jiang Li prescribed for him, and ordered a cup of hot coffee, forcing himself to calmly think about what to do next.

Be sure to find Lian Qiao, or his career will be ruined.

Since he said to go home, it must be in city B. But the question is that City B is so big, where is Lian Qiao's home?

Xu Rendong thought for a long time and finally took a deep breath. Pick up the phone, dial the boss's number.

"Sorry, I need a few more days off."

"Three days?...Three days may not be enough. At least a week."

"Okay, I see. Then I'll just resign."

"I understand the seriousness of this matter, and I will bear the consequences myself. As for the liquidated damages, I have to come back after the urgent matter and talk about it."

"Okay. Thank you. I'm so sorry."
