Death Spiral [Infinite Flow]

Everything went smoothly. Guided by the arrow, the two quickly found four other nesting dolls. During this time, the rabbits will still visit them once a night. Except for asking them where the rest of the people went on the first night with a confused look on their faces, after that, they all asked in an extremely perfunctory manner: Are you looking for it? Then I'm leaving, huh?

Then it really went away.

It seems that the rabbit is quite helpless, if they are still here, it is estimated that the rabbit would have left work early.

After the tenth nesting doll is taken, the arrow disappears. It seems there will be no new nesting dolls. When they handed over all the dolls to the rabbit, the rabbit was really happy, and even thanked them sincerely, and happily took out a small gift box tied with a butterfly ribbon, saying that it was an extra award.

Lian Qiao took the gift box and said in surprise, "Give it to me so easily? I thought you would symbolically make things difficult for us..."

The rabbit looked contemptuous: "To make things difficult? What am I trying to do? I want to get rid of you as soon as possible and go home and sleep. You two troublemakers, you can't kill them, and you won't leave. , I really hate it!"

As a financial dog who often has to work overtime, Xu Rendong can be said to understand rabbits very well.

Lian Qiao opened the gift and couldn't help but be surprised: "This is... the key?"

Xu Rendong was taken aback for a moment, watching him grab a brass key from the gift box. The key is simple in shape, with no decoration on it, but two words are engraved on the handle:

Lian Joe.

Lian Qiao saw that it had his own name on it, and couldn't help being shocked: "Damn, this thing won't be picked up and bound?!"

Xu Rendong: "What is pickup binding?"

Lian Qiao explained it to him. This is a saying in online games that when a player picks up an item, the system automatically binds the item to the player. Unless it is unbound through other means, the item cannot be traded or given to others.

Xu Rendong nodded. Lian Qiao turned his head and asked the rabbit, "Is this key used to open the treasure chest?"

Rabbit: "I don't know. It's useless for me anyway."

Lian Qiao gave a "uh" and thoughtfully said, "So, this item can be used in the later dungeons?"

The rabbit spreads his hands, saying don't ask me, this is beyond my cognition.

It really doesn't seem to know, and I guess it won't be able to ask anything. When Xu Rendong came back to his senses, the rabbit had already hopped away. That back is really lively, vividly expressing the euphoria of the working dog finally ushering in the weekend.

There are still puzzles to be solved, but they can finally leave.

The two came to the elevator, and Xu Rendong still felt unreal until the elevator door closed. He couldn't remember how long he had been in this ghost world, and it took him a while to remember where and what he was doing before he came in.

The silver-white metal elevator reflects the icy light, this is the scene he sees every time he dies. He almost had an illusion: here is reality, but outside is unreal.

—He's been trapped for so long, I'm afraid his spirits are starting to go wrong. Better to see a psychiatrist when you go out...but what to say? Saying I'm a hell, saying that I've died so many times that I have a shadow in my heart?

If you can't tell the truth, how can you tell? The knot in his heart may never be solved, and his mental condition will only get worse as he gets older.

Xu Rendong was fascinated by his thoughts, and Lian Qiao suddenly said, "Brother Rendong, can we still..."

Xu Rendong suddenly trembled when she heard the long-lost name. He was about to speak when suddenly he heard a strange voice.

“…is…you want….”

Who is speaking? Is there anyone else in the elevator? !

Xu Rendong instinctively straightened her body and looked around, but couldn't find anything unusual. The voice was low and hoarse, like the whimpering yellow sand in the desert, intermittent and inaudible in many places.

Xu Rendong frowned. Seeing the vigilant look on Lian Qiao's face, he immediately misunderstood. Shengsheng swallowed the words he wanted to say.

Xu Rendong didn't have time to think about where his little emotions came from, but hurriedly asked: "Did you hear that?"

Lian Qiao: "…Huh?"

Can't even Joe hear? Could it be that this voice sounded directly in his head?

At the same time, the voice continued: "You will go through countless tortures, but this is not..., it is... When you arrive at..., you will understand..."

Countless deaths and torture?

… Sure enough, it came to him.

For some reason, Xu Rendong intuitively thought that the voice was not malicious. Even as if forcibly restraining a strong emotion, he said the last sentence in a depressed, choked, hopeless but hopeful way:

"...live"

It comes to an abrupt end.

Obviously, the voice was trying to tell him something, but it was blocked by something like a mosaic.

Xu Rendong quickly sorted it out in her heart: *** is ***, you want ***. You will go through countless tortures, but this is not ***, it is ***. When you reach ***, you will understand ***. *** Live.

Except for the phrase "you will experience countless tortures", all other keywords have been deliberately erased.

This information must be very important. But now Xu Rendong can't draw any conclusions for the time being. He just secretly wrote down these words, intending to check the essence of this ghost world after going out.

When he came back to his senses, even Joe looked at him aggrievedly. Only then did Xu Rendong remember that even Qiao seemed to have said something just now, and was about to ask him, but heard a "ding" sound. The elevator door opened.

The two of them looked out the door at the same time, only to see a soft and warm white light, but they could not see anything else. That white light made people feel extremely reassuring, as if it was back in the arms of her mother, and all dangers were isolated.

It's finally over...

No, it's not the end, it's just a temporary end.

Xu Rendong looked at the bright light and was filled with emotion. After thinking about it, he took out his mobile phone from his pocket: "Let's add WeChat."

Lian Qiao was stunned for a moment, then opened his mouth wide in surprise, looking like a hamster that was so frightened that it dropped its seeds. Xu Rendong didn't understand why he reacted so strongly, so he explained: "This matter is not over yet. You are very smart and adaptable, and I—"

Unfortunately, his tongue began to stiffen and numb, even at the slightest recollection of the death spiral. Xu Rendong was used to this, so he had to give up the idea of ​​revealing the truth.

So all he could tell was a lie: "...you are a very good newcomer, I appreciate you. I hope you can cooperate with me."

Lian Qiao looked at him blankly, a trace of loss flashed in his eyes. But he still quickly took out his mobile phone and added WeChat friends with him.

Xu Rendong said: "I live in City A, how about you?"

Lian Qiao: "I'm in City B. I'm coming to you."

Xu Rendong nodded and sent him the location of his home. After Lian Qiao confirmed the location, he bent his eyes and smiled again: "That's it. Brother Rendong, I'll come to you."

Xu Rendong heard the familiar name again, a warm current poured out of her heart, and an indescribable emotion filled her chest. He suddenly felt uncomfortable, avoided Lian Qiao's gaze, turned his head and said, "Let's go out together."

Lian Qiao said, "Okay."

Xu Rendong took a deep breath, and walked out of the elevator side by side with Lian Qiao.

The warm white light instantly surrounded the two of them, and the light was so bright that it caused a moment of dizziness. After the dizziness passed, Xu Rendong opened his eyes and found that the light had faded, and the elevator and Lian Qiao had all disappeared. He is standing on the street at night.

Across the road are two panicked girls. Behind them, the walking old man led the puppy, and his raised left foot landed firmly on the ground. In the supermarket across the road, just after the clerk took the customer's money, a few coins slipped from their fingers and slammed into the glass counter.

…really back. back to the moment he left.

However, soon, a strong sense of crisis hit him!

The nerves of Xu Rendong's whole body tensed up almost instantly. He instinctively turned his head and saw a large truck whizzing towards him! The headlights of the truck were so bright that he couldn't open his eyes, the adrenaline surged, and his heartbeat suddenly accelerated, making his heart pound with pain. He wanted to dodge, but the muscles all over his body were like being filled with cement, and he couldn't move. He stood stiffly in place like a frightened chicken, unable to make any movement.

Seeing that the big truck was about to hit him, Xu Rendong felt cold in his limbs, and the blood in his whole body was losing temperature.

Time seems to be stretched for a long time. He heard the screams of girls, the screeching of brakes as the tires rubbed against the ground, the barking of dogs. He raised his head in the midst of the loud noise, and met the driver of the truck.

At that moment, a horrified expression appeared on their faces at the same time.

Is that you? !

The driver of the truck turned the steering wheel forcefully, as if waking up from a dream. Xu Rendong was still stunned by the unknown force, unable to move the slightest. He only felt a hot wind brushing past him, followed by a loud bang.

"Bang!"

The source of the voice was not far from him, and at the same time he found himself able to move, and immediately turned around. After seeing the scene in front of him, his pupils suddenly shrank, and the huge shock made him chill, and his hair stood on end. The horror turned into an entity, hitting his heart, causing his heart to tremble along with his body.

—The big truck lost its balance on a sharp turn and crashed into the roadside store! The lights in the store were all turned off, it was pitch black, only black smoke could be seen coming from the front of the smashed truck, and the driver's life was unknown!

The picture of the driver and the driver just now reappeared. Xu Rendong's legs softened and he fell to the ground directly. People around took out their mobile phones, began to record and take pictures, and dial 120. Xu Rendong suppressed his fear, forced himself to get up from the ground, and staggered towards the truck.

The cab of the truck was too high, and Xu Rendong stood on the ground, unable to see what was inside at all. At this time, the truck's engine was already billowing with smoke, the smell of gasoline was in his nose, and there was even a faint sound of sparks. Xu Rendong didn't care about the danger, and climbed onto the front of the car with both hands and feet.

There is something he must confirm! Very important!

"It's going to explode! Run!" The good-hearted man pounced on him again and forcibly pulled him down. But in this flash of lightning, Xu Rendong has seen it clearly.

—a blue dress, a familiar face. Blood stained, unconscious.

That was the young man who was smashed into pieces by a rabbit on the first night! That's the person he wanted to save but couldn't save!

Xu Rendong only felt that his brain was blank, he was dragged to a safe place, and the fire suddenly burst into the sky! The huge explosion shook him back to his senses, and then he felt the heat rushing towards his face, and the truck had been swallowed up by the raging fire, and the driver in the cab had no way out.

He just felt that all this happened so suddenly and strangely that his brain refused to accept it, let alone think. He couldn't answer all the police questions.

The police thought he was overly frightened and left after leaving his contact information. The medical staff bandaged Xu Rendong's wound and told him that it was just a scrape and no fracture. But whether the internal organs have been affected by the blast shock wave still needs to be checked to determine.

Xu Rendong was sitting in the ambulance, listening to the whistle of the siren, and suddenly felt that all this was unreal.

Has he really returned to reality? Or is this the new ghost world?

Xu Rendong suddenly felt extremely tired. Really, too tired, he has no strength to struggle anymore. So, under the surprised eyes of the medical staff, he lay on the stretcher, curled up, hugged himself helplessly, and fell asleep.
