Death Spiral [Infinite Flow]

The elevator was running quietly and smoothly, and suddenly it shook slightly.

This is something that happens every time, even Joe is used to it.But Lonicera couldn't seem to get used to it, because every time the elevator vibrated, he would gasp in shock.

It's the same this time.

Lian Qiao looked at Liandong, meeting his dazed eyes.

Lian Qiao was about to speak, when Liandong's face suddenly sank, he rushed up and grabbed his collar, angrily said: "Can you show some love to me?!"

Lian Qiao: "Huh???"

Liandong was trembling with anger, and growled at Lian Qiao with a voice that became softer and more like a child: "Don't let me wait for you at the school gate alone! I will be—"

Lian Qiao: "???"

Before he could react, Xu Rendong had shrunk into a wrinkled baby.

Lian Qiao: "???????"

He looked at the purple sweet potato essence curled up in a pile of clothes, and was so shocked that he was stunned.

The little honeysuckle that turned into a purple potato seemed to be still angry, crying non-stop.It took Lian Qiao a long time to do a good job of mental construction, accepting the fact that this ugly baby is Lonicera.

He carefully picked up the little purple potato, but the purple potato essence was still crying and kicking him desperately.

...What are you angry about?

Even the second monk Qiaozhang couldn't figure it out, he really couldn't figure out how he had offended Rendong again. Wasn't it fine 1 minute ago?Aren't they still holding hands to be each other's angels!

Why did you suddenly leave me alone and become Purple Sweet Potato Essence!

Species have changed ah hey!

……

After a lot of tossing, Little Honeysuckle finally grew to be six years old again.

For the past six days, Lian Qiao has been trembling all the time, not knowing what he did wrong.Liandong didn't know what kind of anger he was getting, and he always didn't like to talk to him.

Asked him, he refused to speak as if his mouth was stuck.And every time Lian Qiao asked, Lian Dong would be even angrier.Sometimes when he gets angry, he even grabs his arm and bites it.

"Does it hurt to bite off your hand?!" Lonicera said viciously, like a hungry wolf.

Lian Qiao looked at the six-year-old kid messing around with him, feeling confused and loving at the same time.He sighed, pampering and helplessly stroking Lonicera's hair.

"What's wrong with you..."

Liandong snorted, turned her back, and stopped looking at him.

The six-year-old child has not yet shed the baby fat, and his back is round, like a red panda.Lian Qiao looked at his back, and his tenderness resurfaced.

However, this tender feeling was broken by Lonicera's sour words.

"Why don't you take the kids."

It should have been a question sentence, but it was a statement tone.It's just that the statement contained endless sorrow and complaints, like a lonely kitten, struggling alone in the dark and calling for help, but got no response.

Lian Qiao was stunned for a moment.Then he asked with a wry smile, "Why do you say?"

"..." Little Lonicera didn't speak, but lowered her head deeply.

Although Lian Qiao didn't understand what he was thinking, he clearly sensed his sadness.He opened his arms and hugged him from behind.

A six-year-old child is only a little big in his arms.It wasn't the thin and slender figure in memory, but it made Lian Qiao feel an inexplicable nostalgia.

Lian Qiao didn't ask any more questions, just rested his chin on Liandong's little head, and hugged him quietly.

I do not know how long it has been.

"I'm sorry." Little Honeysuckle suddenly choked up and said.

Lian Qiao didn't know what he was sorry for.The warm and moist touch on his arm diverted Lian Qiao's attention and made his whole heart shudder.

"You..." He wanted to ask why you were crying, but he had a faint feeling in his heart, knowing that Lian Dong would not say it.

Liandong has something to hide from him, and he has always known it.

But so what.

So Lian Qiao said: "You cry. I will accompany you."

Little Lonicera turned around and threw herself into his arms, crying happily.

The next day.

When the first ray of sunshine in the morning was accompanied by the subtitles of "1999" on their faces, the three of them felt a flash in front of their eyes, and when they opened their eyes again, they were already on the busy street.

Lian Qiao caught sight of XX Primary School across the road, turned around and asked, "Lian Dong, is this your primary school?"

Xu Rendong: "No."

Lian Qiao & Little Apple: "Huh???"

Although it felt that something was wrong, but Lian Dong said it was not, so it was not.So Lian Qiao and Little Apple lost their way forward in an instant, not knowing what to do next.

Xu Rendong: "Give me a knife."

Lian Qiao took out a three-edged bloodletting knife from his backpack and asked in surprise, "Why do you want a knife?"

Xu Rendong put the triangular knife in his pocket, raised his head, and looked far away at the abandoned building at the end of the street.

"Go bust a criminal syndicate."

Lian Qiao & Little Apple: "???"

The street where XX Primary School is located is lined with various buildings such as stationery stores, snack bars, small hotels, and residential buildings.Every place is worth exploring. I don't know why the boss of Lonicera only took a fancy to that unfinished building.

Lian Qiao and Little Apple followed Lian Dong to the unfinished building in a daze.Lonicera walked around to the hole in the iron fence with ease, stepped on her short legs, and got in.

The two behind quickly followed.Little Apple raised her head and saw the dark entrance of the building, she couldn't help but folded her arms and said, "What kind of place is this..."

Liandong didn't speak, but a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Although Lian Qiao didn't know what Liandong was thinking, he trusted Liandong unconditionally.Liandong said he wanted to go upstairs, so he picked up a crowbar and flashlight to escort Liandong up.This building is an unfinished building, there is no electricity, there are holes everywhere in the wall, and there is a whistling sound of air leakage.

The three of them stepped on the construction waste all the way upstairs.When they reached the fifth floor, the three of them heard someone talking from above.

There were about five or six people above, speaking a dialect that I don't know, and they were babbling, and they couldn't understand what they were saying.Little Honeysuckle stopped on the fourth floor, and the three of them slowed down, quietly lying on the stairs to peep.

I saw that the lamps were lit in the large empty room.Although there are lights, the ground is still littered with construction debris.It seems that people cannot live here, it is just a temporary foothold.

There are four men and one woman in the room, all dressed in ordinary clothes, with smiles on their faces.It's just that there was a hint of malice in that smile, which made people quite uncomfortable.

These people formed a circle.There is also a child in the middle, who is kneeling on the ground and shivering.

Lian Qiao and Little Apple were shocked when they first saw the child.That was a severely disabled child!The eye sockets are empty and there are no eyeballs.Both hands and feet are strangely shaped. I don't know if there is a congenital defect or some misfortune encountered the day after tomorrow.

The little disabled man was dressed in rags and looked like a beggar.He held a broken bowl in his dirty little hands, and there were some coins and paper money in the bowl.

He held up the bowl with great effort, and handed the money in the bowl to the man in front of him.Obviously, the man was not satisfied with this, and swearing and swearing, he overturned the bowl, then picked up the little beggar from the ground, and whipped him with a belt.

Little Apple's eyes turned red when she saw it, and she immediately covered her mouth, afraid that she would cry out.

Lian Qiao narrowed his eyes and said in a low voice: "Picking and cutting..." (Note)

Lonicera: "Yes."

Lian Qiao: "Call the police? Or..."

Liandong shook her head, opened her small mouth slightly: "Kill them."

Lian Qiao: "Okay."

As soon as the words fell, Lian Qiao picked up the crowbar and jumped out.Little Apple was taken aback by his ability to do what he said, and what shocked her even more was that the seven-year-old Little Honeysuckle actually held a three-edged knife and followed him to do it.

You two are really... a perfect match!

Little Apple is in a complicated mood.But even children are involved, how can she hide behind as an adult.Immediately, he took out the watermelon knife and joined the battle bravely.

The group of people didn't expect a group of Wu lunatics to pop out from behind, and there was a beautiful child who was like a jade carved in the middle.For a moment, everyone had no time to react, and was killed by a mistake.

The battle ended quickly—no, it should be said to be a one-sided massacre rather than a battle.

Xu Rendong originally wanted to save a life for questioning, but he didn't expect Qiao Bang Bang to smash the skulls of the five adults.The attack was so ruthless that he didn't treat the opponent as a human being.

Little Lonicera walked up to one of them, stretched out his hand to touch his breath, and made sure that the last person was dead, so he said helplessly, "Why did you kill them all? What if they have clues?"

Lian Qiao's killing intent had not retreated, and at this moment, his body was covered in blood, like a Shura.He wiped off the red and white brains on his face casually, and said nonchalantly, "They speak in tongues, but they can't understand them, so what's the point of asking?"

Liandong: "...are they not allowed to speak Mandarin?"

Lian Qiao casually pointed to the corner of the wall: "Here, isn't there another one here?"

The mistreated little beggar couldn't see, only knew that a stranger had come, but didn't know what happened.When Lian Qiao walked in front of him, the little beggar screamed and hid back.His grotesquely twisted thin arms and legs struggled desperately, looking like a misshapen little monster.Lian Qiao paused, as if being stung by something.His face quickly calmed down, and his voice became soft.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here to save you."

Seven-year-old Little Honeysuckle followed behind him, looking up at him slightly.There is an indescribable complex emotion in the eyes.

It was late autumn at this time, and the sky was already very cold, but the little beggar was still wearing a single shirt with holes.Lian Qiao took off his coat and wrapped it around the little beggar.The little beggar flinched and wanted to hide, Lian Qiao sighed, patted his head and said: "Little friend, you have suffered. Don't be afraid, you have been saved. We will call the police immediately and take you to find your parents." .”

When the little beggar heard "Mom and Dad", tears welled up in his empty eyes.Crystal tears ran across his dirty little face, making him look extremely pitiful.

Little Apple couldn't bear it anymore, covered her mouth and began to cry.Xu Rendong watched quietly, thinking calmly in his heart: It turns out that after the eyeballs are gouged out, you can still cry.

Lian Qiao asked, "What's your name?"

The little beggar called "Ah, ah" a few times, but was speechless.

Lian Qiao froze for a moment, then turned around stiffly, and said to Xu Rendong: "He has no tongue."

Xu Rendong: "Yes. Go to the police station."

"...Okay." Lian Qiao subconsciously hugged the little beggar, but his outstretched hand stopped in midair.He turned his head and glanced at Little Lonicera.

Little Lonicera smiled slightly: "What do you see me doing? I can walk by myself, so you can hug him."

Lian Qiao nodded, picked up the little beggar, and went downstairs.

On the way to the police station, passers-by cast strange glances at them.From the whispers of passers-by, they learned that the disabled child was begging next to the school every day after school.

The child was severely disabled and looked pitiful, so the parents who came to pick up the child from school couldn't bear it, and they always gave him some money at first.But after a long time, everyone will get used to it.After all, no one’s family was rich in those days, so there was no spare money to help beggars every day.

As a result, the little beggar began to have large and small injuries on her body.

At first, it was just a bruise on the skin.Later, the wound gradually ulcerated and pus flowed out, and the smell was unbearable.Everyone is even more reluctant to approach him.

Until the statement was recorded at the police station, Little Apple didn't recover from the depression.

"How can there be such people... Do they still have a conscience? How can they bear to do this kind of business!"

Lian Qiao was silent.But Little Honeysuckle had already regained his composure, looked back at the police station thoughtfully, and said in a low voice, "I don't know if the corpses have been wiped away. I'm afraid the police will find us."

Lian Qiao said: "It doesn't matter. I've seen it. There are not enough police here, and there are no guns. I'm not afraid if I really want to do it."

Liandong sighed: "It's not necessary. At present, it seems that the police are still reliable. When necessary, we can..." Before he finished speaking, he frowned, "Little Apple, what's wrong with you?"

I saw Little Apple squatting down clutching his chest.Her forehead was dripping with cold sweat, and her face was already pale, so she raised her pale face and forced a smile.

"My curse has finally come true," she said.
