Death Spiral [Infinite Flow]

Xu Rendong randomly found an empty room, drove the maid away, and fell asleep.

This time he finally managed to fall asleep.He had a long dream.There was nothing in the dream, only a piece of black sweetness.When he awoke, he was refreshed and recovered from that dull, almost numb ache.Only then did he realize that he was really exhausted.

He couldn't remember how long he hadn't had a good rest like this.He seems to have gotten used to this long-lasting state of mental tension.It's like this every time, every time it's a race against time, a race against death.

Every time he wakes up in the elevator, his body returns to its best condition, but his spirit is like a piece of repeatedly bent iron, already white and stiff, and he doesn't know when it will break.

So when Lian Qiao proposed to sacrifice himself, he would lose control and bite Lian Qiao.

So when Lian Qiao abandoned him and chose Shi Jianchuan, he couldn't react other than to find a place to sleep.

He suddenly realized that his spirit had actually broken down.He was so uncomfortable that he wanted to die, and he didn't want to struggle anymore.

But death is just a new start.He can't even die.

Anyway, he finally had a good night's sleep, regained some strength, and was able to calmly examine the current situation.

He heard loud noises from outside.The violent wind and rain slapped on the doors and windows, with the sound of sharp arrows piercing the air and insects flapping their wings.Some men and women were crying and screaming, and soon disappeared into nothingness.

Gradually, a light red liquid seeped in from under the door.It was rain mixed with blood.

Listening to those voices outside, Xu Rendong felt very calm.He believed in the strength of Lian Qiao and Shi Jianchuan, and the cooperation between these two people would definitely find a way out.And since he is not affected by the curse, he just needs to sit back and enjoy his achievements.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but caressed his chest, and with a light hook of his fingers, he pulled out the longevity lock worn around his neck.

The Longevity Lock is simple in style, with exquisite cloud patterns carved on it.He held the longevity lock in the palm of his hand, feeling heavy and hard, like a mother's love that had turned into reality.

... It's ridiculous.

He used to think that it was Zhong Xiu who hurt him the most.Zhong Xiu brought him 20 years of loneliness and unwillingness, but when she was dying, she left him the most precious thing—she gave him a way out.

He also thought that it was Lian Qiao who loved him the most and hated him getting hurt the most.But now?

Xu Rendong sat on the edge of the bed for a while, when he suddenly heard someone knocking on the door.He hid the Longevity Lock behind his shirt, and before he could ask who was outside, he heard the man shout hoarsely:

"Open the door, cough cough, tolerance, honeysuckle, come out!"

It's Lian Qiao.

He could tell from the sound that he was seriously injured.Xu Rendong got up and went to the door, opened the door, and a bloody smell so thick that it choked his nostrils rushed to his face.

I saw Lian Qiao holding on to the door, standing on one leg with difficulty.An arrow stuck in his wounded left leg.The long sharp arrow pierced through his thigh, and the blood stained the entire trouser leg red.

Fortunately, it was the broken leg that was injured.If it was the other one, he could only crawl on the ground now.

Xu Rendong looked away from his legs, and suddenly noticed that the corridor behind Lian Qiao, on the railing, was actually full of oblique wooden arrows.All the sharp arrows were deeply inserted into the ground, which showed how powerful the arrows were shot out.Looking at the angle, it seems that they were shot from the air toward the surroundings of the tulou, so the entire interior of the tulou was filled with arrows.

At this time, the whole tulou was already in a bloodbath.There was a strong wind outside, and the rain was like thunder.There were corpses everywhere in the tulou, some had their necks cut off and their heads were separated, some had their stomachs and intestines torn apart, and there were bright red pieces of meat scattered around.

Rainwater had flooded the floor.There was an unusual mist in the air, and it smelled faintly rancid.A giant snake hovered in the pool, and the sky was so dark that a flock of giant black birds were circling the giant snake.

"I found the elevator. Cough, cough, let's go!" Lian Qiao's face was pale, and blood was seeping from his eyes and ears. He didn't know what he had experienced.He stretched out his hand to pull Xu Rendong, but what he stretched out was not a good palm, but a bone!

Xu Rendong was startled, and subconsciously wanted to help him.Lian Qiao withdrew his hand abruptly, turned around and gritted his teeth, "Come with me!"

His left leg was seriously injured, and he didn't know where the crutch was. He could only hold on to the railing and move forward step by step with difficulty.

After Xu Rendong slept for such a long time, his numb heart also recovered, and he had the ability to feel heartache again.So he felt sorry for it.

Standing on the sidelines with distressed feelings will only make yourself more uncomfortable.So Xu Rendong reached out to him and put him on his shoulders.

"..." Lian Qiao glanced at him blankly, and his eyes turned red.

Xu Rendong didn't want to look at him, so he turned his head to look at the sky, and changed the subject abruptly: "What is that?"

"Gu Diao. It wants to prevent us from going out...cough cough, go out. Shi Jianchuan is stopping it." Lian Qiao's breathing was unsteady, and a line of blood was coughing up from the corner of his lips.He brought Xu Rendong to a broken railing and stopped, "The elevator is in the water, let's jump down together."

Xu Rendong looked down at the dark and deep water: "In the pool?"

Lian Qiao: "Yes."

Xu Rendong estimated the distance from here to the bottom of the water in his heart.The elevator should be at the bottom of the pool, plus the height of the floor flooded by the rain, I don't know how deep it is.

Seeing his hesitation, Lian Qiao broke free from his grasp: "I've calculated, according to our lung capacity, it's enough to swim to the elevator... Cough, but the water level rises too fast, and it will be too late if we delay."

Lian Qiao coughed and moved his body towards the gap in the railing: "Don't worry, I'll go down first."

"...Let's get down together." Xu Rendong went around to the other side and grabbed his arm that was still intact.

Lian Qiao didn't speak any more, but took a deep breath trembling slightly.

Xu Rendong closed his eyes.The next second, the two held hands and jumped into the water together.

The deep pools formed by the rain were freezing cold.Xu Rendong held his breath and opened his eyes in the pool.The pool water is a kind of turbid green, and the light from nowhere shoots down from the surface of the water, illuminating the shallow area of ​​water.

The water is dirty, and it stings a little when it gets in the eyes.But at this moment, he couldn't take care of so much, Xu Liandong endured the discomfort in his eyes, held his breath and went downstream.

The lower you go, the dimmer the light.At first, the screams of fighting could be heard above the water, but gradually, those sounds became erratic, like a boat rocking further and further away.

Xu Rendong vaguely saw something in the dark place below.When he swam close, he realized that it was a pale floating corpse!

The floating corpse didn't know how long it had been dead, and its whole body was soaked white.The figure is that of a male corpse, but the facial features have been blurred. I don't know whether it was smashed by a blunt object or eaten by a school of fish. I can't see the original appearance clearly, only the fibers of minced meat floating in the pool.

Lian Qiao tugged at his arm and led him to swim in another direction.

The remaining oxygen in the lungs is getting less and less, and the nostrils contract unconsciously, wanting to breathe.Xu Rendong tried to hold his breath, but the further he dived, the greater the water pressure outside.The pool water was squeezed into his nose desperately, and there was a dull pain deep in his ear.He couldn't help worrying that the eardrum would be squeezed, and the pond water would pour into his brain from the ear canal.

After another dive, fortunately, what he was worried about did not happen.

The body is far tougher than he imagined.Despite his growing thirst for air, he held on and was able to paddle slowly while maintaining his sanity.

In comparison, Lian Qiao must have worked much harder than him.

Lian Qiao was seriously injured and coughed up blood desperately when he was on the shore. I really don't know how he can bear it now.

Xu Rendong couldn't help turning his head to look at Lian Qiao.The water swayed on Lian Qiao's face, the blood on his face had already been washed away, but his complexion was so bad that he didn't look much better than that floating corpse.

After all, with a sharp arrow piercing through the muscles in his leg, and struggling to dive in this cold and dirty pool, Lian Qiao obviously endured a lot of pain.

Xu Rendong felt a stab in his heart—if he hadn't chosen to escape these few days, but had gone to find a way out with Lian Qiao, maybe Lian Qiao wouldn't have suffered such a serious injury...

With this in mind, Xu Rendong stiffly restrained his feelings again.

Who hasn't suffered this level of injury?

No one even knows the injuries he has suffered, the inhuman pain he has suffered, and everything he has paid.

Perhaps it was also because he didn't know that Lian Qiao would betray him without telling him... It made everything he paid so ridiculous.

Really, it's ridiculous.

Xu Rendong averted his eyes indifferently, and stopped looking at Lian Qiao's pale face.Lian Qiao didn't notice the gaze of the person beside him, but kicked the water with his legs with difficulty, trying to dive down.

Suddenly, his expression brightened.

Xu Rendong looked forward, and saw a huge silver-white metal block standing brightly in front of him.

elevator!

Xu Rendong was also happy in his heart.Then I thought: I found the elevator, but where is the button?

Lian Qiao's face suddenly changed, and he stretched out his hand in front of him.Xu Rendong was taken aback, not knowing what he meant.

Lian Qiao seemed to be enduring something, frowned, opened his fingers, and put something into his palm.

is the button.

That tactile feel is unmistakable, it's the button.

The elevator is close at hand, and the water is silent.Xu Rendong turned his head to look at Lian Qiao, and found that Lian Qiao was covering his mouth, and his body was trembling.Red blood oozes from between his fingers, and soon faints in the pool.

Very buoyant in deep water.Lian Qiao coughed badly, and his whole body began to float upwards very quickly.Xu Rendong hurriedly grabbed him, but only caught a corner of his clothes.Lian Qiao coughed so badly that he couldn't swim by himself at all, so Xu Rendong had to hold on to the corner of his clothes desperately, trying to pull Lian Qiao back.

After finally pulling him to his side, Xu Rendong grabbed the elevator door and managed to keep the two of them in shape.

Lian Qiao was still suppressing his cough.He covered his mouth and nose, only showing the upper half of his face, but he smiled and bent his eyebrows.

Xu Rendong was about to install the button, when he accidentally caught a glimpse of Lian Qiao's smile, his heart was bumped inexplicably, sore and painful.

However, in the next second, the smile in Lian Qiao's eyes disappeared.

Xu Rendong's heart skipped a beat, he thought it was bad, and wanted to hide, but Lian Qiao grabbed his arm.

What is he going to do? !

Xu Rendong desperately withdrew his hand, but was pulled closer and closer by Lian Qiao.He turned pale with fright, and subconsciously touched the knife on his body, but unfortunately, Lian Qiao had already pulled him to the front with the force of that grasp, and before Xu Rendong drew out the knife, Lian Qiao had already thrown him behind!

What did he—

Xu Rendong's eyes were astonished and painful, he swung his arms vigorously, trying to turn around in the water.But when he looked back, he saw a section of bright red floating in the water.

Blood.A lot of blood, more blood, exploded from behind him.

Xu Rendong was instantly cold.A biting cold pain came from all the limbs.

He finally turned around and saw Lian Qiao's body bitten into two in the waters close at hand.

A large amount of blood stained the field of vision.A mouthful of fine and sharp teeth gradually receded from the back of Lian Qiao's waist, disappearing into the darkness.Xu Rendong recognized those teeth, they were murlocs, the murlocs who had bitten him open and begged to die.

It turned out——Lian Qiao was trying to save him——

Pushing him away is to die for him!

"Go—" Lian Qiao hadn't died yet, he roared with all his strength, blood and water mixed with air bubbles, carrying his last words, rushed in front of Xu Rendong.

Xu Rendong's scalp was numb and his whole body was stiff, watching Lian Qiao's exposed intestines floating in the water, watching Lian Qiao become two lifeless pieces of meat, sinking bit by bit.

Xu Rendong wanted to cry, but the pool water was too heavy and pressed his tears back into his eyes.

He also wanted to yell loudly, but when he opened his mouth, cold pool water with the smell of blood was poured into his nose, and the excruciating pain made him unable to even pass out.

He actually... In fact, he knew it deep down.

How could Lian Qiao betray him, how could he abandon him to pave the way for himself.

He was just in too much pain, but no one could share his pain.He can only hurt Lian Qiao deliberately, he wants Lian Qiao to feel the same pain as him, and taste the taste of despair with him.

But...but...

It turned out that the broken heart, which was already riddled with holes, could be more painful.

——Isn’t this what it should be?Because he loves Lian Qiao.

How can it be possible to alleviate your own pain by hurting the one you love.

……

Fortunately, everything can be restarted.

At this moment, Xu Rendong suddenly understood the meaning of that sentence.

"You will experience countless tortures, but this is not a punishment, it is a reward."

It really is a reward.

Xu Rendong tugged at the corner of his mouth and made a wry smile.At the same time, loosen your fingers slightly.

The hard metal button slipped from the fingers, followed the water flow, and sank into the depths of the pool.Gone soon.

There is less and less oxygen left in the body.The pool water with the bloody smell was poured into the lungs, filling his whole lungs with the smell of Lian Qiao, which was cold and excruciatingly painful.

Let's do it all over again.
