Death Spiral [Infinite Flow]

I don't know what the NPCs in this world are thinking. Those children in the orphanage were very shy when they saw people last night, but today they played with everyone acquaintedly.

Honeysuckle is a key player in this dungeon, but he does not represent the clearance itself.You still have to find buttons and elevators to clear the customs.Therefore, the players split up to explore the orphanage after eating.

Lian Qiao remembered the honeysuckle that the little girl had mentioned last night, and carried the little honeysuckle to the yard.As soon as the sun hit his body, he felt hot, and only then did he realize that the snow in the yard had melted.It seems that the early spring has arrived overnight. Although the cold spring is expected to be cold, it is not as harsh as the deep winter after all.

He didn't have time to look at it last night, and noticed that there were many flowers and plants planted in the yard at this time, but none of them had bloomed yet.He would never recognize something like honeysuckle if it wasn't in bloom, so he simply gave up exploring and sat on a swing to bask in the sun with Honeysuckle.

There were two or three other people in the yard, touching here and there, trying to find clues.

Lian Qiao was not in such a hurry to leave here as they were, so he swayed on the swing with Little Honeysuckle in his arms.Little Honeysuckle was coaxed to sleep by him, and even Joe himself was drowsy from the sun.There is a cool aroma unique to early spring in the air, which is a little intoxicating under the thin sunlight that happens to be everywhere.

When the mood was relaxing, a national curse suddenly burst out not far away.

"Fuck!"

Lian Qiao opened his eyes dissatisfied, and his first reaction was to see if Lian Dong was frightened.Fortunately, Little Honeysuckle was wrapped tightly in swaddling clothes, with a ball of wool hat on his head, and his ears were blocked, so he was not frightened.

Lian Qiao looked at the source of the voice.

I saw a man with a scarred face standing at the door of Xiaoyanglou.He was the one who scolded "Fuck".

On the other side, Little Apple was standing at the gate of the yard, originally facing the direction outside the door, but when she heard the voice, she turned around suddenly, her face full of shock.

Lian Qiao walked over with Little Lonicera in his arms: "What's going on?"

"I don't know!" Scar's face was full of flesh, but he couldn't hide the horror in his eyes.

In contrast, Little Apple was much calmer. He walked slowly from the courtyard door and said, "There is a problem with this courtyard. He wanted to go out just now, but he disappeared as soon as he stepped out of the courtyard door. When he reappeared, he would be at the door of the bungalow."

Teleported?

Lian Qiao nodded: "It hit the border of the map and was teleported back."

Scarface: "???"

Little Apple understood, and smiled sweetly: "I was just about to say that too."

Scarface looked at Lian Qiao and then at Little Apple, and couldn't help but said, "You two can still laugh? There's a ghost in this house! We're trapped!"

Lian Qiao shrugged: "It's not the first time I've seen a ghost, what are you afraid of?"

Little Apple: "Indeed."

Lian Qiao: "Besides, there are ghosts outside, so why go out?"

Little Apple: "That's right."

Scarface: "..." How about you two singing cross talk?

The little honeysuckle in Lian Qiao's arms suddenly woke up.The thick eyelashes like a small fan fluttered a few times, and his eyes wandered between Lian Qiao and Little Apple.In her infancy, where Lian Qiao could not see, Liandong quietly clenched her small fists.

Although he is not a lover of cross talk, he still enjoys Lian Qiao singing oboe with others in front of him.

snort!If I didn't have teeth...

Little Honeysuckle licked his gums, thinking depressingly: Why haven't these teeth grown yet, it hurts so much.Gums are swollen.

Scarface told the rest of the house about his discovery.Most people are very calm, after all, they are not newcomers, so it is not so easy to make a fuss.It was only then that Scarface realized that he was the most impatient of the group of people, he couldn't hold back his face immediately, and walked away with a dark face.

Everyone exchanged information and found that there were no special clues in the bungalow.Not to mention darkrooms and organs, I didn't even see a single ghost, which is disappointing.

"Anyway, we have to ensure that this child grows up safely." The middle-aged woman who spoke was the one who appeared in the morning. She has long hair, so let's call her Auntie Long-hair.Auntie Long-hair leaned in front of Little Honeysuckle, "Is he teething?"

Lian Qiao sighed: "Not yet." He looked at it just now, and the bumps on Little Honeysuckle's gums are still there, and the gums are swollen, but the deciduous teeth don't seem to be sprouting at all.

Is it really only a knife on the gums?Why don't you take some anti-inflammatory drugs first...

The long-haired aunt shook her head and rejected his proposal: "What's the use of anti-inflammatory drugs? His teeth won't grow out, and he will have a fever sooner or later. I don't think it's better than this. Find something to grind his teeth. Our child It’s the same, the deciduous teeth don’t come out all the time, and the doctor also said to cut the gums. I can’t bear it, just give him teething biscuits.”

When Lian Qiao heard this, he hurried to ask the dean if he had any teething biscuits.The dean shook his head, and Lian Qiao just remembered that it is now 1993, how can raising a child be as expensive as it is in 2020, and even teething biscuits?It's good to have something to eat.

Lian Qiao was depressed, but the dean said, "There are no molar biscuits, but shrimp crackers."

Shrimp crackers? !

Lian Qiao's eyes lit up immediately, and childhood memories flowed away like a flood.

right!He ate this as a kid too!The so-called shrimp sticks are a kind of puffed food. They are not really made of shrimp meat, but they are just filled with shrimp powder, which has the umami taste of shrimp.He ate it as a snack as a kid.

The texture of the shrimp sticks is slightly hard, and the taste is good, which is perfect for grinding your teeth.

Lian Qiao immediately asked the director for shrimp crackers and fed them to Lonicera.

Little Honeysuckle's gums were swollen uncomfortably, not to mention he wanted to get his teeth out as soon as possible so that he could sing cross talk with Lian Qiao, so he ate the shrimp crackers very cooperatively.He doesn't have a single tooth, so he can only use his gums to grind a little bit.Although this process is a bit painful, Lian Dong is not afraid of pain.

Toothache is better than brain suppuration!

Lian Qiao hugged the little honeysuckle on his lap, and fed shrimp sticks into his mouth one by one.Seeing the little mouth bulging and moving, Lian Qiao suddenly felt tenderness in his heart.He remembered what Honeysuckle had said to him in the elevator.

What would you do if we had kids?

—if they had a child, he couldn't imagine how he would pamper it.He will give it everything he can, and he will watch it grow up, and watch the child grow into his and Lonicera's look little by little, what a happy thing it should be.

If only they could have kids...

Many absurd thoughts flashed through Lian Qiao's mind, many of which were illegal.But he immediately vetoed himself.

No matter how advanced the technology was, if he and Lonicera wanted to have children, a third person would be necessary to intervene.And he absolutely couldn't accept it.

He loved that child only because it was the continuation of his and Lonicera's life.What he cherishes most will always be honeysuckle.There is no room for a third person to intervene between them.

Let alone a woman, even if it's just an egg!

Lian Qiao was so immersed in the joy of cutting off his children and grandchildren that he didn't notice that a shrimp cracker had slipped from Xiao Lonicera's hand.

The dean has already gone out, she has to wash and dry clothes for other children, she is very busy.There were only Lian Qiao and Liandong in the room at this time.

Therefore, when Lian Qiao realized that something was wrong with Little Honeysuckle, Little Honeysuckle's face was already purple, and his little hands and feet were struggling.

Lian Qiao was shocked, and his first reaction was to touch his forehead.Surprisingly, Lonicera's forehead was cool, and she didn't have a fever.

Lian Qiao was stunned, quickly put him on the bed, and called out to the dean.He didn't dare to take half a step away from Lonicera, but he didn't know what to do, so he could only desperately call for help.

Just a moment after he called for help, the little honeysuckle had already broken free from its swaddling clothes.The chubby hands and feet were constantly twisting in the air, he seemed to be in extreme pain, and his little face was wrinkled into a ball.His lips were blue, obviously in a state of severe hypoxia.

Lian Qiao was at a loss and almost cried, "What's wrong with you? Lian Dong, what's wrong with you, tell me!"

"Uh...uh..." Little Lonicera struggled to make a sound from her throat.Too bad that doesn't make a meaningful sentence at all.Lian Qiao still didn't know what happened to him, only that he couldn't breathe and was about to suffocate to death.

Why?Obviously there is no fever and no pneumonia, why is this happening?

Lian Qiao looked around in panic, and finally found the half-pack of shrimp crackers thrown on the ground by Little Honeysuckle.

——Is there something wrong with the shrimp crackers?

His first reaction was that the shrimp crackers were poisonous, and the dean wanted to kill Lonicera...but before Lonicera ate the shrimp crackers, he had already tasted it!Impossibly poisonous!

what happened……

There was a confused sound of footsteps on the stairs.Lian Qiao thought it was the dean who came, and looked back expectantly, but what he saw was the group of useless teammates.

"What's wrong with him?!" Seeing the accident of a key player, everyone was very nervous.They swarmed over to ask questions.

Lian Qiao said angrily: "Go to the dean quickly! Ask her to save people!"

"Don't panic!" The long-haired aunt who seems to be good at taking care of children squeezed over, "He may have choked on food! Give him a pat!"

Only then did Lian Qiao come to his senses, quickly hugged Lian Dong, and patted him on the back forcefully.

His small body swayed back and forth as he patted her, but Lian Dong didn't even cough, but struggled and writhed in extreme irritability, her face full of pain.

Even Qiao was afraid that he would really suffocate to death if he continued to delay, so he didn't care so much at the moment, he directly lifted Lian Dong upside down, lifted his two legs and shook vigorously, trying to pour out what was stuck in his throat.

The few people around also knew the importance of key players, so they hurriedly patted their backs together.

But no matter how hard everyone tried, Liandong didn't spit out anything.His small mouth opened and closed, as if he wanted to speak, but he could neither make a sound nor cough.

Not even crying.

He could only twist and struggle helplessly and instinctively, and use all his body language to say two words:

pain.

It was Little Ping Ping, whose face was pale at this time, and he said anxiously: "What's wrong with him, how could he be like this..."

The scarred face of Wai Qiang Zhonggan sat on the ground directly, holding his head in a broken mood and shouting: "It's over, it's over! He's going to die! We're going to die too!"

Everyone was silent, only Lian Qiao was still desperately patting him on the back.

I don't know if it was because of standing on his head, but Lian Dong's purple face gradually swelled up.Lian Qiao felt that something was wrong, so he quickly put him down and let him lie flat on the bed.This didn't make Little Lonicera feel much better.

His cheeks were swollen like steamed buns, and even his little lips were swollen and protruding, showing a strange color.

That lip color...is unique.The middle of the two lips is pale and swollen, but the outer circle is darker red, like a circle of clumsy lip liner.

Lian Qiao was awakened by this strange change.He recalled a word that his mother, who was an emergency and critical care specialist, had mentioned by chance.

- Pale and edematous mucous membrane of the lips.

Pale edema... pale edema... what's wrong?

The surrounding noises and Lian Dong's painful expression hindered Lian Qiao's memory.He roared angrily, "Stop arguing", then picked up Lonicera and rushed downstairs.

I can only go to the dean!Only the dean can do it!Only the dean can save him!

Liandong's small body is as light as nothing in Lian Qiao's hands, even though he is one year old, he is still very thin.Lian Qiao took three steps in parallel, almost jumping down the stairs.He rushed out of the mansion and saw the dean drying the quilt outside the yard.

The outside of the yard——

He, go, no, no!

Little Honeysuckle's struggle became smaller and smaller, almost turning into intermittent twitching.The small face was wrinkled into a ball, like an ugly orange.Lian Qiao looked down at him, felt a sudden tug in his heart, stopped thinking about it, picked up Lonicera and rushed towards the gate of the courtyard.

"Dean, quickly—"

As soon as he yelled, he suddenly felt that something grabbed his neck and stuck the words he wanted to yell in his throat.

Lian Qiao was startled, and his figure suddenly stopped.He had a terrible premonition in his heart, and at the same time, he felt that Lonicera seemed...not moving...

He couldn't believe it was real.However, when his eyes slowly fell on Lian Dong's face, the pale face that caught his eyes still ruthlessly tore out a big hole in his heart.

Not moving.

No more struggling, no more twitching, not even the heaving of that small chest.

Little Honeysuckle's tense expression finally relaxed, his eyelids drooped, revealing a little bit of white.His face and lips were so swollen that they were almost translucent, like water balloons that were about to burst.

At the same time, Lian Qiao felt something stuck in his throat, which made him want to cough, but he couldn't cough it out.

He instinctively grabbed at his throat, trying to pull the thing out, but he still held the tiny corpse of Lonicera in one hand and refused to let go.The thing in his throat seemed to be growing, and soon blocked his entire throat, making him unable to speak, unable to breathe, no matter how hard his chest heaved and his lungs tried, he couldn't breathe even a little air——

My eyes quickly turned black.dizzy.

The dean's figure flashed past. She was still drying clothes outside the orphanage, and she didn't notice any changes here.

Even Joe held Honeysuckle's body in his arms until he died, though the little body was red and swollen like a queer little pink giant.

At that moment, Lian Qiao suddenly remembered.

Oh, it's laryngeal edema.

Pale lips and mucous membranes, and edema in the throat—it’s systemic edema caused by allergies.
