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 of going to work seem like a lifetime away.After working overtime for several days, he finally regained his original state.It's just that when he came home after a busy day, he felt very lonely and had no hot food to eat.

As the saying goes, if I hadn't seen the light, I could have endured the dark.After Xu Rendong experienced the warmth of home, he could never leave Lian Qiao again.

On this day, Xu Rendong finally finished the work he had piled up before, and it was rare for him to have a moment of free time.He opened the browser, wanting to see what's the latest news.For some reason, I suddenly had a thought, and entered the three words "Jiulianhuan" in the search box.A lot of messy results quickly jumped out on the screen.

Among them, what attracted his attention was a paper discussing the historical origin of Jiulianhuan.And the author's signature is actually "Shi Jianchuan".

Xu Rendong followed the vine and found Shi Jianchuan's personal information.He was surprised to find that Shi Jianchuan was originally a university assistant, and his main focus was folklore research.

... Can't tell, such a coquettish person is actually a high-level intellectual.

The university where Ishi Jianchuan works is 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 university is a famous school, folklore is not a popular major, so the college office is also very remote.Xu Rendong entered the campus, asked around, went around for a long time, and finally found the location of the Folklore College.It was an old building, five stories high, decorated in the style of decades ago, with a thick layer of ivy growing on the wall, probably this ivy was older than Xu Rendong.

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

Um?How did this person stick to the window and move around?

Xu Rendong watched it for 2 minutes, feeling weird.Suddenly, another face appeared behind the figure, startling Xu Rendong.

The man behind was obviously taken aback, too.The eyes of the two exchanged briefly in the air, and in the next second, there was only a crash, and the man opened the window, leaped with his long legs, and jumped out from the third floor with the aura of killing people!

Xu Rendong was stunned.

The man upstairs was also stunned.

With a "bang", a white man fell freely to the ground.I fell into a daze.

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

What if it hits me!Is it plausible!

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

Shi Jianchuan greeted him when he saw him: "Oh, thanks for finding this place."

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

Shi Jianchuan turned his head to confirm the injury of the man on the ground, seeing that he didn't seem to be seriously injured, but his forehead was slightly scratched, so he carried him back to the building with a smile.

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

Shi Jianchuan didn't turn his head 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 teaching and research office of folklore is on the third floor, which is where the white snake jumped off the building just now.Xu Rendong felt that the fact that the two of them did this in school was degrading, and his face was unconsciously a little ugly.

Shi Jianchuan poured him a cup of tea, politely invited him to sit down, and then said with a smile, "Don't mind me. I've been holding back for a long time, and I'm so irritated that I can't control it."

Xu Rendong was so dumbfounded that his teacup almost fell to the ground.It was the first time he saw such a shameless person, but he still spoke lightly, as if he was talking about something other than that kind of thing.

Xu Rendong recovered from the embarrassment, suddenly felt afraid.

He remembered that in the copy, he always thought that the white snake was the summoned beast of Ishi Jianchuan, or the special effect of some props.The biggest suspect was of course the black Tang suit embroidered with snake patterns, so that he once wanted to steal the Tang suit...

Fortunately not.Otherwise, the White Snake was summoned, and seeing that it wasn't Shi Jianchuan, he might just bite him to death.

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

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

Shi Jianchuan interrupted him: "I've run out of props. There are seven levels in the dungeon. Don't kill key players just for the puppet. It's gone. Good luck."

Xu Rendong: "..."

He spoke short and quickly, as if he had prepared it long ago, and was waiting for Xu Rendong to ask.

After thinking about it, Xu Rendong didn't have anything 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 last."

Xu Rendong: "..." It really is a speech that fits the personality very well.

Shi Jianchuan was frivolous and flirtatious, but the fair-skinned man was rather introverted. He didn't make any outrageous reactions after hearing this. He just quietly put his head on Shi Jianchuan's shoulders, probably a habit left over from when he was a snake. .

In front of Xu Rendong, Shi Jianchuan politely didn't send a Q on the spot, but touched the man's face with a smile.

Xu Rendong suddenly became curious: "Is it because all the dungeons have been cleared, so he lost his ability and can't turn back into a snake?"

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

"No." Shi Jianchuan said with a smile, "It's not that I lost the ability to transform into a snake, but I regained my human body."

Xu Rendong was taken aback.Retrieve?Meaning that the White Snake was originally a human being and turned into a snake for some reason?

Shi Jianchuan quickly changed the topic, as if he didn't want to talk more.Xu Rendong thought that Shi Jianchuan might also have something hard to say, just like he couldn't tell people about the reincarnation of death.

Afterwards, Xu Rendong and the two chatted casually, and bid farewell to them.

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

Judging from this posture, I am afraid it will not take a day and a night.

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

I don't know when it has entered autumn, the evening wind is bleak, and the leaves are rustling.Xu Rendong felt a little cold, so he closed the car window.I turned my head to one side and saw the empty co-pilot seat, and suddenly felt lonely.

miss him.

Having not seen Lian Qiao for a few days, Xu Rendong naturally felt very lonely when he was stuffed with dog food by Shi Jianchuan today.

Lian Qiao had contacted him intermittently these days, and only then did he know that Lian Qiao went home to have a showdown with his parents.Even Joe's parents are both clinicians, and they are very busy at work. Sometimes they are on night shifts, and sometimes they hold academic conferences. They hardly spend time at home together.

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

I don't know how it's going.

Xu Rendong suddenly couldn't restrain his thoughts, so he called Lian Qiao, but Lian Qiao turned off the phone unexpectedly.No reply to WeChat.Xu Rendong was nervous for a while.He remembered the oolong that happened last time, and looked at his watch, and sure enough, it was 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 turned out to be a black screen.

The uneasiness in my heart suddenly magnified.He saw that the barrage was full of questions, why the anchor didn't go online today, why didn't the anchor go online yesterday, why didn't the anchor go online for three days in a row, did he terminate the contract?

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

Lian Qiao didn't broadcast live for three days.He remembered that Lian Qiao said that when he signed a contract with the live broadcast platform, he must live broadcast for more than two hours a day.Yesterday and the day before yesterday, he also talked with Lian Qiao on the phone. 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 get to the point.Today, however, there was no news from him at all.

I'm afraid... the conversation has collapsed.

Xu Rendong's heart sank bit by bit.

He called Lian Qiao's friends one by one.Those are all people Lian Qiao met on the Internet, and they know very little about Lian Qiao's real information. Some don't even know Lian Qiao's real name, let alone where he lives.

Xu Rendong worked all night and found nothing. He almost wanted to go to the police station to report the crime.But thinking about it, Lian Qiao just failed to negotiate with his parents and was locked up. It is impossible for the police station to intervene in other people's family affairs.

So, early the next morning, Xu Rendong went to the headquarters of the live broadcast platform that Lian Qiao had signed a contract 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.

outsider.

Xu Rendong felt as if he had been hit in the head, and his heart throbbed again.

It wasn't until this moment that he suddenly realized how little he knew about Lian Qiao.He only knows that Lian Qiao is an internet anchor, lives in City B, and his parents are doctors... But what else?

Does Lian Qiao have siblings?What major did he study in university?Besides those people on the Internet, who else does he have friends in real life?

Know nothing.

Xu Rendong himself grew up in an orphanage with pure social relationships, so he never thought that besides being his lover, Lian Qiao had any other social identities.He was always waiting, accepting, but never realizing that he should have asked.

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 Lian Qiao is dead, who else can prove that he and him once fell in love?

Xu Rendong was sitting in the cafe outside the platform headquarters, his whole body was cold, and his heart was throbbing.He quickly took the medicine Jiang Li prescribed for him, ordered another cup of hot coffee, and forced himself to calmly think about what to do next.

You must find Lian Qiao, otherwise his career will be ruined.

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

Xu Rendong pondered for a long time, and finally took a deep breath.He picked up his phone and dialed the boss's number.

"Sorry, I need to ask for 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 finish the urgent matter and come back to talk about it."

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