Death Spiral [Infinite Flow]

After Lian Qiao entered the elevator with Xu Rendong in her arms, her beating heart finally calmed down.

He kept staring at Xu Rendong's chest, making sure that he was still breathing well. His hand had been resting on Xu Rendong's carotid artery, for fear that the pulse, which was so weak that he could barely feel it, would disappear in the next second. Fortunately, after entering the elevator, Xu Rendong's vital signs stabilized, and his face gradually improved.

Soon, Lian Qiao discovered that Xu Rendong's body was getting heavier and heavier. Not only the weight, but also Xu Rendong's height and appearance are gradually turning back into adults.

Lian Qiao's heart finally settled down. Once the tense thread in the brain is loosened, the body has no strength. He slid down against the elevator wall and let Xu Rendong rest on his lap. The elevator made a low running sound, but Xu Rendong still didn't wake up. Lian Qiao looked down at him, and his heart suddenly moved.

Xu Rendong's appearance is changing at a speed visible to the naked eye. The baby fat gradually fades away, and the cheekbones and jawline begin to show contours. The facial features became deeper and deeper, and the Adam's apple bulged little by little, gradually taking on the appearance of an adult man.

It should have taken more than ten years to change from a boy to a man, but Lian Qiao witnessed it all in just ten seconds. Lian Qiao watched quietly, with an indescribable sense of happiness in his heart, as if... as if...

It seems to have witnessed his growth. It was as if all the lost and lost time had been made up for.

"...Heh." Lian Qiao let out a low and pleasant sigh. He slightly hooked the corner of his mouth, and gently stroked Xu Rendong's eyes with his fingers. This movement was so gentle, he felt that he was touching the most precious treasure in the world, and even if it was just such a light touch, he was worried that it would damage him.

…By the way, the injury on his leg!

Lian Qiao suddenly woke up from the thought and turned to look at Xu Rendong's calf. Fortunately, the deep bone-deep wound was gone. The skin has also recovered to a smooth and beautiful appearance, which makes people want to touch it.

He must have rarely exercised to have such white legs. The calf is straight and straight, with smooth lines and no obvious muscles. It looks as delicate as a girl.

The shape of the ankle is so beautiful, so thin that it can be held in one hand. The ankles are so white...

Want to lick.

…

"What the **** am I thinking!" Lian Qiao raised her forehead, ashamed of her filthy thoughts. He turned his head and saw that Xu Rendong was still in a coma and did not wake up, and the guilt in his heart was even deeper.

At this moment, Xu Rendong's lips twitched suddenly.

"Brother Honeysuckle?" Lian Qiao called out in surprise, but Xu Rendong didn't wake up, but the eyeballs under his eyelids moved slightly.

Xu Rendong's lips are still moving: "...Yes...you want..."

"What?" Lian Qiao leaned down and heard Xu Rendong say with a faint breath:

"You will go through countless...tortures..."

"But this is not punishment..."

"Come to...you'll understand..."

"Live..."

"Live..."

Xu Rendong repeated the last sentence twice and stopped talking. Lian Qiao was at a loss when he heard it, and suddenly remembered that Xu Rendong once said that when they came out of the copy of the Russian nesting doll, he heard a mysterious speech in the elevator, which seemed to be the same.

Lian Qiao quickly took out his mobile phone and opened the memo. At that time, Xu Rendong wrote down the sentence like this: *** is ***, you want ***. You will go through countless tortures, but this is not ***, it is ***. When you reach ***, you will understand ***. *** Live.

And this time, compared with the last time, there is one more keyword.

"But this is not a punishment."

You will go through countless tortures, but it's not punishment... what is it?

Lian Qiao immediately realized that new keywords would be unlocked after each clearing the dungeon. There must be some great secret behind this passage, but they still have a long way to go to crack the mystery.

Where did this information come from? What do you want to tell them? Why only Brother Honeysuckle received such a message, and others never had it?

Everything, everything, you can only get the answer after completing all the copies.

Eight more keywords are missing, does this mean that there are eight more copies? If they clear these eight dungeons, will they be able to completely return to real life and be safe and happy from now on?

Lian Qiao recorded this sentence on the phone while thinking. When he finished typing the last word, a "ding" sounded above his head. The elevator door opened.

"Um..." The man lying on his lap suddenly moved.

"Brother Honeysuckle!" Lian Qiao was overjoyed, this time Xu Rendong really woke up.

"...hu..." Xu Rendong got up from the ground, rubbed his forehead, and let out a long breath. He looked around and saw that the elevator door had opened, and outside was a familiar apartment building, and he couldn't help sighing again.

"Finally back." Xu Rendong said.

Lian Qiao pulled him up from the ground and said with a smile: "Yes, I'm back! We successfully completed another dungeon~"

The two walked out of the elevator side by side, the elevator door closed quickly behind them, and then the entire elevator disappeared silently. When Xu Rendong turned back again, there were already familiar stairs behind him. Since he graduated and found a job, he has walked to and from get off work twice a day. I can't count how many times I've gone by now. At this time, it seemed like a lifetime away, he could no longer remember the feeling of walking on the stairs.

"How are you feeling now? Are your legs okay?" Lian Qiao was still a little worried, and helped him walk to his house, "Go back and have a good rest."

Xu Rendong stopped at the door of his house, shook his head and said, "No, there is still something to do."

Lian Qiao: "Ah? What's the matter?"

Xu Rendong: "Eat BBQ."

Lian Qiao was stunned for a moment, then smiled with his eyes bent.

The night market downstairs is very lively, with barbecue, malatang, and hand cakes. There is a university town nearby, and many students come out for supper at night, so it is very lively. It was ten o'clock and it was still full of people.

The two found a spot at the barbecue stall, and even Joe ordered almost everything on the menu. The choking smoke from the barbecue grill made the surrounding air hot, and the two of them quickly sweated. Drinking cold beer, Lian Qiao told Xu Rendong about the button.

Xu Rendong said: "It's hard to imagine. How can this copy be so disgusting, you have to go to the vomit to find the button."

Lian Qiao said: "Actually, it's easy to think of, because after Lamia found her son, she disappeared with her son, and the dining table disappeared, only the vomit remained. According to the routine, there should be an investigation, but at that time I was in a mess. I thought the button would drop directly after finishing this task, but it didn't, and my mind was empty at the time."

Xu Rendong was confused due to excessive blood loss at the time, he only remembered that Lian Qiao was irritably walking around in the cave, Ye Qingliu patted his arm to reassure him, but he didn’t remember anything else. The memory is also interrupted here. At this point, Xu Rendong suddenly said: "By the way, where is Ye Qingliu? Are there other people?"

Even Qiao hesitated and said with a guilty conscience that everything was settled, and everyone came out safe and sound. Xu Rendong smiled and said: "Ye Qingliu is also a hero in women's middle school. She should still be in the operating room at this moment, right? I don't know whether she gave birth to a son or a daughter... It's okay, I'll find out when the full moon is full."

Lian Qiao nodded obediently.

After that, he explained to Xu Rendong the words he said unconsciously when he was in a coma. After listening to Xu Rendong, he fell into contemplation. The two discussed it, but still couldn't figure out any clues, so they could only put this matter on hold for the time being.

According to the results of Lian Qiao's investigation, the next time they enter the ghost dungeon should be a month later. This month, you can take a good rest and prepare for the equipment you bring into the dungeon next time. If nothing else, at least the food has to be prepared. Xu Rendong strongly agreed with this.

"By the way, are you free next weekend?" Lian Qiao suddenly put down the mutton kebab in his hand and smiled shyly, "There is an exhibition, right at the Expo Center... Well, it's a game And anime, they asked me to be a guest and gave me a VIP ticket."

Xu Rendong took out her mobile phone and clicked on the calendar, confirmed the time with him, and said, "I won't go to work that day. But..."

When Lian Qiao heard the "but", his heart was immediately filled with loss, but he still smiled and waited for the final judgment: "Huh?"

"But our company... how do you say it." Xu Rendong thought for a while, then explained seriously, "You know I'm a financial analyst, and my job is to regularly summarize the latest financial information I usually do these reports when I go to work. But if any news breaks out after get off work, I have to follow up in time and write a report immediately. So I can’t promise to visit the whole exhibition with you…”

Lian Qiao looked at his black and white eyes like mercury, looked at his serious eyes, and suddenly his heart softened into a pool of water.

Xu Rendong is still saying: "Or I will bring the computer over there. Is there wifi in the venue? If necessary, I will find a place to sit down and do things. You can continue to visit, so that the exhibition is over. We can still come back together. Do you think that's okay?"

Lian Joe just felt like he was going to drown in his eyes. He said softly, "Okay."

Xu Rendong said: "Then you send me the location of the venue, and I'll see how long it will take."

Lian Qiao suddenly realized: "Hey! You have a car!"

Xu Rendong nodded. Lian Qiao couldn't help but remember the scene where the two were alone in a small space in the car, and couldn't help laughing "uuuuuuuuu".

Xu Rendong seemed to notice something, and suddenly asked in surprise: "What's the bulge in your pants?"

"What the hell?!" Lian Qiao was shocked. What am I reacting so fast? Why am I not feeling at all? Am I already seconds... ahhh!

Lian Qiao put his hand into his trouser pocket, his face changed suddenly, and he couldn't help but shouted again: "Fuck!"

"What's wrong?" Xu Rendong also became nervous.

Lian Qiao frowned, looked around cautiously, then pulled the stool to Xu Rendong, and quietly stretched out his hand from under the table. Xu Rendong looked down, and the hair on his back suddenly stood up. The hot barbecue stall seems to have suddenly turned into an ice cave.

"We seem to have accidentally... brought out Lamia's eyeballs." Lian Qiao said helplessly.
