Death Spiral [Infinite Flow]

At this moment, there was a creak behind him, and the courtyard door opened.Half of her body protruded from the door, she was a middle-aged woman with a kind face.

"Are you...?" The middle-aged woman looked between Lian Qiao and Little Apple.Soon, the eyes shifted to the baby in Lian Qiao's arms.The middle-aged woman screamed and hurriedly opened the door to make way.

"Quick! Come in! This child is freezing, come in and warm up!"

"Thank you." Lian Qiao smiled at her gratefully, hugged the little honeysuckle tightly, and walked quickly into the yard.

"Hey you—" Little Apple seemed to want to remind him something, but when she saw the middle-aged woman following Lian Qiao in nervously, the girl showed a look of surprise on her face.He swallowed the words he wanted to say.

As soon as he entered the small western building, Lian Qiao noticed that there was a row of children on the stairs, lying on the railing, poking their heads to look here.Those children all have different degrees of disabilities, either missing arms or broken legs, or they are mentally retarded at first glance.However, their expressions were all innocent and curious, and it seemed that there was no malicious intent.

Lian Qiao's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately realized——

No wonder it feels so familiar, it turns out this is a welfare home!

It is the place where Honeysuckle grew up!

Then this middle-aged woman... probably is the dean.

Sure enough, the middle-aged woman introduced herself as the director of the orphanage while preparing hot water and food.Lian Qiao took the change of clothes from her with mixed emotions.

In the outside world, Lonicera was brought up by the dean alone.At this time, Little Honeysuckle was so cold that his whole body turned purple, and his little face was pale.Lian Qiao deeply felt that he had not taken good care of him, so he always felt a little bit ashamed of the dean.

But after thinking about it, this is a dungeon after all.Whether the dean is a human or a ghost is still uncertain, so let's not think too much about it.

Even Joe and Little Apple trekked in the snow for a long time, and their clothes were soaked in snow.The dean arranged rooms for the two, and asked them to go back to their rooms and have an early rest.

Lian Qiao fed Little Honeysuckle some hot milk powder, and then hugged her in her arms, and Little Honeysuckle's body finally gradually warmed up.Lian Qiao breathed a sigh of relief.

In the middle of the night, other players arrived at the orphanage one after another.Lian Qiao went out with Lonicera in his arms and took a look, and had a general impression of everyone.

The snow scene at the beginning of this time is actually not difficult, as long as you run with the halo.The problem is that most people don't necessarily want to turn off the flashlight to chase the halo, and there are bloodstains on the road, and some people dare not chase after seeing the bloodstains.

According to later players, there are still some unclean things hidden in the snow.Those who run slowly have been killed by that ghost.

Even Joe doesn't care about these, he only cares about what will happen to Lonicera next.

Sure enough, as he expected, the next day, when the first ray of sunlight hit his face in the morning, Little Honeysuckle split open from the middle with a "snap".Like a very ripe bean pod, a slightly larger honeysuckle drilled out of it.

Even Qiao was so shocked that he could not speak for a long time when he saw such an exciting scene early in the morning.When he regained his composure, he found that Little Honeysuckle had changed from a maroon wrinkled newborn baby into a pink and tender one-year-old baby.

But in this way, other players immediately realized that Xu Rendong was the key player.

Of course, Lian Qiao would not fail to understand what this meant.When everyone gathered downstairs for breakfast, he frankly took out a crowbar and slapped it on the table, and said, this key player, I am covered!I will kill anyone who dares to touch him.

Everyone has different thoughts, and of course they won't reveal anything on the surface.There is only one idiot with a scarred face, who ignites like a firecracker, just to use it to scare chickens and monkeys.Lian Qiao knocked him all over his head, and finally ran out with a scarred face crying.

Lian Qiao didn't expect that this vicious-looking big man would cry whenever he wanted to, and he felt a little embarrassed for a while.

However, just a minute after Scarface ran out, he suddenly appeared at the gate of the house again.

Everyone: "?" Aren't you going to be alone? Why are you back again?

Scarface: "Damn it, I don't know either!"

Only then did everyone discover that there was a mystery hidden in the yard.Although the courtyard door is open, once you step out, you will be transported back to the entrance of the western-style building.It seems that the scope of activities this time is only so small.

Everyone was a little frustrated.They all explored the orphanage roughly, and found that everything in the orphanage looked normal, and there was nothing that could be called a clue.

And at night, the frustration deepened.Because it's haunted.

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa...The hungry ghost is shaped like a spider, with slender limbs and a belly as big as a drum. Its mouth is so large that it can bite off the head of an adult.

What was even more irritating was that the dean actually locked the door of the small western building, so everyone could only run around in the yard.

Lian Qiao is holding the little honeysuckle, and it is difficult to move.At first he was worried that the hungry ghosts would come straight at them, so he kept a 12-degree vigilance with a crowbar in hand.However, to his surprise, the hungry ghost ignored him and only cared about chasing the other players, showing no interest in them at all.

... Is this hungry ghost still picky eaters and won't eat children!

Lian Qiao looked down at the pink and jade-carved little honeysuckle in his arms, suddenly a little unconvinced.

This unscientific!Our kids are pink and tender, so cute!so delicious!He doesn't like to eat?

There must be something wrong!

The crowd was chased by the hungry ghosts, screaming and fleeing in embarrassment, while here Lian Qiao hugged the little honeysuckle and stood under the vine trellis for a while, feeling that there was nothing wrong with the two of them, so he sat down and drank tea out of boredom.

Little Apple, who passed by Lian Qiao's side, panted, "Why are you so angry?!"

Lian Qiao spread his hands: "I don't know either."

At this time, Little Apple had his hands empty, and when he met the hungry ghost, he could only run away, and was chased in an extremely embarrassing manner.She saw Lian Qiao's crowbar on the table at a glance, and stretched out her hand out of breath, "If you don't need it, just lend it to me!"

Before Lian Qiao could speak, there was a sudden movement in his arms.Little Honeysuckle climbed onto the table, stretched out her short hands, and hugged the crowbar in her arms like protecting food.

……what?

Even Joe was surprised, and Little Apple was stunned.

At this moment, the hungry ghost caught up with him, and stretched out his pale, long arms towards Little Apple.Little Apple screamed, turned around and ran away without thinking about anything else.

Lian Qiao subconsciously picked up the little honeysuckle and wanted to back away. He never thought that the hungry ghost had already rushed in front of them. He only glanced at the little honeysuckle, as if he was blinded by something, and backed away screaming. .

"Huh?!" Lian Qiao felt more and more surprised, seeing the hungry ghost crawl away on all fours and turned to chase after Little Apple.

Little Honeysuckle was held in Lian Qiao's arms, holding the crowbar in her fleshy short hands, looking quite strenuous.Lian Qiao tilted his head and thought for a while, and couldn't help asking: "Are you..."

Little Honeysuckle raised her eyes, and looked at him with a "you finally noticed it" expression.

Lian Qiao: "With the amulet that Ishi Jian Chuan gave you?"

Lonicera: "???"

These words were obviously beyond Liandong's expectation, he immediately widened his eyes, as if he was too shocked to speak.

Lian Qiao scratched his head: "That's not right, isn't that amulet in the backpack." Holding the honeysuckle in one hand, he fumbled in the backpack with the other hand, and took out a small kit.

It was given to them by Shi Jianchuan when they came out of the copy of Jiulianhuan.Inside is a wooden signboard with a bunch of ghostly symbols painted crookedly on it, which is extremely ugly. It is said that Shi Jianchuan painted it himself.

Although Shi Jianchuan is a master of Jiuguan, in reality he is just an ordinary folklorist.To be fair, Shi Jian's own DIY stuff should be useless in the dungeon.But it's inevitable that this wicked bastard is playing tricks again, what if he is fooling people?What if it's actually a prop?

Lian Qiao couldn't figure it out, so he just hung the wooden sign on Little Honeysuckle's neck.

At this time, the little honeysuckle is only one year old, and its neck is fleshy and pink, and it feels very good to the touch.Lian Qiao put an amulet on him, still muttering about Shi Jianchuan.

"..." Little Lonicera looked at him with bright black eyes, raised her little hand, and grabbed his fingers.

"Huh?" Lian Qiao paused, then said embarrassedly, "Did I hurt you? I'm sorry..."

Little Honeysuckle grinned.He hadn't teeth yet, and couldn't speak complete words, only babbling and babbling noises that didn't make sense.Lian Qiao's communication with him all day was basically based on guesswork. Seeing Lian Dong laughing at this moment, he couldn't figure out what he was laughing at.

The hungry ghost in the yard chased everyone screaming, and three people had already been disemboweled and their internal organs spilled all over the floor.Lian Qiao at the other end of the yard watched the excitement with her baby in her arms. Not only did she not feel nervous at all, she even yawned.

Why the hungry ghosts avoid them is unclear, but let's assume it's the amulets.In this case, it is even more impossible to let others know.So Lian Qiao carefully hid the amulet in the lapel of the honeysuckle, and wrapped him tightly in swaddling clothes.While running for their lives, everyone caught a glimpse of Lian Qiao's actions, thinking that he was obsessed with raising a baby and didn't care about other people's life and death. They were even more annoyed, but there was nothing they could do.

Although Lian Qiao deserves a beating, he is holding a key player in his arms!It is a good thing that hungry ghosts ignore them!It's a good thing!

The players kept convincing themselves in their hearts, but lasagna tears hung down their faces.

In the end, the tragedy came to an end at the cost of the lives of five people.The hungry ghost belched contentedly, dragged the two remaining corpses, and walked slowly into the darkness.

Everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief, and all fell to the ground exhausted.

"It's finally over..." Long-haired auntie cried while covering her face with her messy hair.

"He, fuck..." Scarface panted heavily, and was also paralyzed on the ground and couldn't get up.

"..." Little Apple was so out of breath that she couldn't speak. She looked around, counting the number of survivors, with a sad expression on her face.

Under the vine trellis in the distance, Lian Qiao hugged the drowsy little honeysuckle and was about to get up.Little Honeysuckle rubbed her eyes, looked into the yard, curled her lips, showing a disappointed expression.

When Lian Qiao saw it by accident, he was taken aback for a moment, and suddenly felt that something was wrong.

"...Lonicera?" He hesitated and called out.

Little Honeysuckle raised his eyes and looked at him questioningly.

Those big black eyes carried the clarity and innocence unique to young children.Lian Qiao looked at him carefully for a while, but couldn't find anything unusual. He could only think that he was thinking too much, so he shook his head and said with a smile, "It's nothing."

The yard was in a mess, with blood and flesh scattered all over the ground.The dozen or so surviving players sat on the ground panting.Lian Qiao picked up the little honeysuckle, carefully avoided the blood on the ground, came to the players, was about to speak, but heard a creaking sound from the side of the foreign building.

The dean leaned out half of his body from the door, and said angrily, "I'm sorry, can you please be quiet? The children are all asleep, and you have to get up early to work tomorrow!"

Audience: "..." Is this what we want to make a fuss about?Isn't this haunted by your orphanage? !

When Lian Qiao heard this, his ears perked up, and he walked over and asked, "What are you going to do tomorrow?"

The dean smiled and said, "The honeysuckle flowers in the yard are about to bloom. Tomorrow, I will pick the flowers with the children and sell them in the market."

As soon as these words came out, not only Joe, but even the little honeysuckle in his arms were shocked.

"..." Little Rendong opened his eyes wide, staring at the dean in a daze.

The dean smiled and rubbed his hair, and said softly: "Little guy, you haven't slept yet. If you don't go to bed early, you won't grow tall!" Saying goodbye to everyone, he turned and went back upstairs.

The crowd behind them only thought that the dean was here to issue a mission, and discussed in whispers for a while, but without any results, they supported each other to stand up from the ground.

Even Qiao frowned, and looked down to see Liandong with a dazed expression on his face.So he sighed and said in a low voice, "Go back and talk?"

Little Honeysuckle nodded.

So Lian Qiao ignored the people behind and went back to the house with Lonicera in his arms.
