Death Spiral [Infinite Flow]

"A lock without a key".

These six words slowly appeared in front of his eyes, and Lian Qiao was thinking about what they meant when he suddenly saw the person beside him curl up in pain.

Lian Qiao was shocked.

"Brother Rendong?" He hurriedly leaned forward, seeing Xu Rendong bent slightly, with both hands tightly clutching the front of the left chest, he couldn't help but nervously asked, "What's wrong with you? Is your heart uncomfortable?"

Xu Rendong gritted his teeth tightly, as if he was enduring great pain.He slowly raised his eyes, and Lian Qiao was startled by the bloodshot eyes.Lian Qiao hurriedly helped him sit down, hugged him tightly, and poured out the contents of the backpack all at once.

Keep some emergency medicine in your backpack.Lian Qiao quickly found Suxiao Jiuxin Pill, but his hands were shaking so much that he couldn't unscrew the lid.He was so anxious that he was about to cry.

"Lian... Lian Qiao..." The person in his arms almost squeezed out a voice from the depths of his throat.Lian Qiao felt a chill on his wrist, Xu Rendong had already pressed down his trembling hand, and said in a hoarse voice, "It's all right..."

"What's the matter with you..." Lian Qiao saw that his face had softened a little, and knew that he had recovered, but he was still anxious in his heart, and asked uneasy, "What happened just now? Did you have a heart problem before?"

Xu Rendong gasped and straightened up, lowering his head to caress the folds of his clothes.He clenched it too hard just now, and the shirt around his heart was wrinkled into a ball, which couldn't be smoothed out no matter what.

Lian Qiao waited anxiously for his answer.After a long time, what was waiting was a calm smile.

"It's all right."

This perfunctory answer certainly did not satisfy Lian Qiao.Lian Qiao frowned, and was about to ask, but Xu Rendong hooked his neck, pulled him in front of him, raised his head and kissed his lips.

Lian Qiao was stunned.

He had never seen such a proactive Xu Rendong.

Lonicera has always looked cold and ascetic, like a priest sitting among rose bushes holding a Bible in his hand, as if nothing in the world has anything to do with him.

However, at this time, the cold and ascetic Xu Rendong not only kissed him actively, but even after the lingering kiss, he buried his head in Lian Qiao's neck, greedily sniffing his scent.

Lian Qiao didn't know whether to laugh or cry, stroked his hair lovingly, and asked softly, "What's the matter with you?"

Xu Rendong didn't answer directly, but said in a low voice: "I'm sorry."

Even Joe didn't ask any further questions, just stroking his hair like this, like comforting a kitten that lacks love.After a long time, Xu Rendong finally said: "I almost died just now. I didn't know how much I love you until I was dying."

The latter sentence is affectionate, but Lian Qiao's attention is all on the former sentence.He shook his hands in shock, almost pulling Xu Rendong's hair off.

If he knew that Xu Rendong was not "almost died just now" but "had just died once", then Xu Rendong would already be bald by this time.

"Have you ever had this kind of situation before?" Lian Qiao didn't know the truth, so he naturally thought that what Xu Rendong was talking about was the angina attack just now, "Or other things in your family... er..." He wanted to ask Xu Rendong's other family members Does the person have any heart problems, and suddenly remembered that Xu Rendong's only relative had just passed away, so he had to cut off the conversation abruptly.

Xu Rendong shook his head, thought for a while, then nodded again: "It happened once before."

"Then go to the hospital and check after you get out." Lian Qiao raised his hand and stroked his cheek, worry appeared in his eyes again, "You really scared me to death just now."

Xu Rendong smiled, didn't speak any more, and bent down to clean up the things on the ground with Lian Qiao.

Just now, Lian Qiao shook out everything in the backpack in a panic, and now the sundries were scattered all over the ground.There are tools such as Swiss army knives, climbing ropes, and flashlights, as well as foods such as mineral water, compressed biscuits, and chocolate.Among them were several medicine bottles, except for sleeping pills, Xu Rendong didn't know any other medicines.

——Where did Lian Qiao get these medicines?Where did he get so much medical knowledge?

Xu Rendong didn't think much about it, he just picked it up and looked at it before throwing it into the backpack.

Putting it away, Lian Qiao suddenly let out a "huh".

Xu Rendong turned his head to look, and saw Lian Qiao holding a brass key in his hand.

That was the hidden reward given by the rabbit after they collected all the nesting dolls in the first copy of "Russian Dolls".I saw Lian Qiao looking up at the big characters "lock without key" floating in the air, and muttered in disappointment: "It's a pity that it's a lock without a key, not a key without a lock..."

When he mentioned this, Xu Rendong suddenly thought: What is this key for?

This key is nowhere to be used until now, and even Joe's name is engraved on it, which is mind-boggling no matter how you think about it.But along the way, Xu Rendong has also asked others, but no one has heard of this kind of key, let alone know the function of the key.

After a long time, both of them almost forgot about it.If it hadn't been poured out from the depths of the backpack today, I don't know if it will take a monkey year to remember this.

The brass key has a simple shape, the kind of golden key commonly seen in fairy tale books.Except for the word "Lian Qiao" engraved on it, there is really nothing special.The two stared at the key for a while, then sighed and put the key away again.

The elevator doors are already open.The night outside the door is as cold as water, and the cold wind blows in, making people feel chills in the bottom of their hearts.

After packing up his things, Lian Qiao habitually carried his backpack on his back, but Xu Rendong picked it up.

"I'm coming. You have an injury on your leg." Xu Rendong swung his backpack to his body, his movements were clean and neat, the brows were faint, and he returned to that otherworldly and cold look.

Lian Qiao recalled the warm and soft touch between his lips and tongue, only felt the huge contrast, and fell in love with him immediately.

As soon as he stepped out of the elevator, the elevator door behind him quietly closed, and then the entire elevator disappeared.Lian Qiao looked at the huge earthen buildings under the distant mountains illuminated by red lanterns, and felt that the wind was blowing, strange and frightening.He turned his head to look at Xu Rendong, but the latter remained calm, as if he had seen this scene thousands of times.

As expected of the honeysuckle boss!

Lian Qiao silently followed beside her, secretly delighted with pride in her heart.As he walked, he suddenly thought: How many dungeons has Liandong entered?

From the first time they met, Liandong has been known as the master of Jiuguan.But they have gone through so many levels together...the "nine" has never changed.

Could it be that in the circle of big bosses, "Nine Passes" is like a black belt in Taekwondo, is it a rank?

Lian Qiao couldn't help yearning for the thought that the big bosses might form a circle of their own.This is like an online game, the top masters of the server all know each other, and it must be an extremely eye-catching sight to gather together someday.

Unfortunately, Lian Qiao's relaxed and cheerful mood did not last long.Just when he stepped into the earthen building and saw the crowds of players in the lower hall, he felt bad all of a sudden.

Fuck!Why are there so many people this time!

The difficulty of the dungeon is directly proportional to the number of participants. There are at least eighty people in this mess!

Lian Qiao glanced at Liandong in horror, and sure enough, the latter was still calm and calm.

As expected of the boss Honeysuckle... I must have seen this battle before, otherwise how could I be so calm!

Lian Qiao limped behind Lonicera, and everyone around them looked at them in surprise.Someone pointed at the honeysuckle and whispered, and the listener revealed a secret joy, probably rejoicing that this time the dungeon has Jiuguan boss in town, and the chance of survival has been greatly improved.

But when this luck spread, it changed in the middle.Everyone glanced at Lian Qiao, the cripple beside Lian Dong, with suspicion and dissatisfaction in their eyes.

Even Qiao could understand those curiosity and rejoicing, but those who showed displeasure made Lian Qiao feel even more displeased.

What's wrong!Isn't it just lame!

It's none of your business that I'm limping and dragging my honeysuckle back!Want you to show me a face? !

Lian Qiao raised his head proudly, with an expression of "I'm the boss's leg pendant, I don't care what you think of me", and leaned firmly on Xu Rendong.Xu Rendong didn't seem to notice anything, but was surprised why he posted it suddenly.

Lian Qiao suddenly turned into a showman, and said aggrievedly with his mouth flattened: "Brother Liandong, my jio hurts~"

Xu Rendong frowned, then bent down and rolled up his trouser legs: "Where does it hurt? The wound or the bone?"

"The wound also hurts, and the bones also hurt~" Lian Qiao, a big man about 1.8 meters tall, whimpered and acted coquettishly, making everyone feel sick.But the much-anticipated Jiuguan boss disregarded his identity, squatted on the ground and pampered him, as if he was so distressed that he wanted to hurt him for him.

It's over.A pair of dogs and men.Everyone thought desperately.

This kind of love-minded boss can never be counted on.Want him to save you?Forget it, it's not bad if he doesn't pull the back of your favor.

Lian Qiao was very happy when he saw the expressions on everyone's faces that looked like they had eaten shit.After all, there is still a possibility of cooperation in the future, and even Joe didn't intend to disgust everyone too much, so he closed the scene and said to Lonicera with a smile: "Okay, it doesn't hurt anymore."

Xu Rendong still didn't feel relieved, bent over to look at Lian Qiao's wound again and again, finally raised his head and said: "It really doesn't hurt anymore?"

Lian Qiao said, "It doesn't hurt."

Xu Rendong asked: "Can you walk? Can you swim? How long can you last?"

Lian Qiao was puzzled: "Swimming? Why do you want to swim?" But seeing Xu Rendong's serious face, he didn't seem to be joking, so he also answered seriously, "If you are in the water...you can last for about 10 minutes."

"Enough." Xu Rendong nodded.

Even the second monk Qiao Zhang couldn't figure it out, and everyone was surprised.I saw Xu Rendong turned around and shouted towards the corner: "Shi Jianchuan."

In the corner where the light could not be found, a person slowly walked out of the darkness.The man was wearing a black Tang suit with a dark silver snake pattern embroidered on it, and his brows showed a leisurely demeanor.

It's just that there is also a little surprise mixed with that leisurely at this time.

Shi Jianchuan waved a folding fan, and walked proudly.He squinted at Xu Rendong, and asked with a smile, "You know me?"

"I have something to talk to you about." Xu Rendong pointed to the corner, "Go to a place where no one is around."

Shi Jianchuan closed the folding fan with a "snap", answered "OK" with interest, and followed Xu Rendong towards the dark place.

Everyone watched helplessly, with great doubts in their hearts.Lian Qiao was the first to react, and followed with a cane, but was stopped by Xu Rendong.He said softly, "Stand here, don't move."

Lian Qiao seemed to have an orange stuffed into his mouth by his father, with an awkward expression on his face.

Xu Rendong seemed to know what he was thinking, and pointed at the top of the tulou: "Look at what that is."

At this time, not only Qiao, but everyone's eyes followed Xu Rendong's fingers.I saw an old lady in red with small feet floating down like a ghost from the gray-black ring-shaped earthen building.The bright red lanterns, the pale face, and the cold wind under the cold moonlight made everyone's heart tremble.

coming!

I don't know if it's a ghost or an NPC, but it's not a good thing anyway, here she is!

Lian Qiao opened his mouth and was about to speak, when he turned his head, he found that Xu Rendong had long since disappeared.

Disappeared with him was that strange man whom he had never met before, what was his name... Shi Jianchuan?

Lian Qiao suddenly felt a sense of loss being left behind.It's not the feeling of being abandoned by a lover, but the sense of loss of being dropped by a good student in the class.

He suddenly felt that Lian Dong had already gone a long way before he knew it, and he was limping and trying his best, but he could never catch up.

When did the distance between them become so great?

And he didn't know anything?

Sadness and grievances are like throwing a stone into the lake. There is no strong wind and waves, but the circles of ripples cannot be calmed down for a long time.
