Death Spiral [Infinite Flow]

Everyone heard the sound and rushed to the hidden room.Sure enough, the elevator door was open, and a warm, faint white light was emitted from the button.

Xu Rendong asked: "What did you do?"

Lian Qiao raised his hands up in the air to show his innocence: "I didn't do anything! As soon as I came in, I saw the button was lit, and then I pressed it...other than that, I really didn't do anything!"

Xu Rendong and Yuan Xueming looked at each other, as if they were thinking about what was going on.

Is the suddenly opened elevator the real way out, or just another trap?In this world, reasoning and guessing alone are useless.That means someone has to be the guinea pig.

Everyone also understood this, so they all remained silent.At this time, it is only one step away from escaping from birth, who wants to capsize in the gutter?

Xu Rendong felt that the elevator was probably safe, but he couldn't find a suitable reason to convince everyone. It seemed that he was the only one who would be the guinea pig.

"Then I..." Xu Rendong just opened his mouth, but Yuan Xueming interrupted him:

"I'll try it."

Xu Rendong was taken aback.Yuan Xueming has a complicated experience, and his attitude towards him has always been neither an enemy nor a friend, which made him unpredictable.At this time, he would take the initiative to ask to take the risk instead of him?

"Brother Yuan, do you really want to do this?" "You are so great!" "Brother Yuan, you are a man!"

Everyone was moved by his righteous deeds and kept praising him, but no one offered to go in with him.

Yuan Xueming probably knew what these people were thinking.So for everyone's flattery, he didn't answer, just smiled, and then walked up to Xu Rendong: "If the elevator really works, this may be the last time we talk. Xu Rendong, if you are not lying, it really is Veteran players who have experienced it six times...then I admire you."

Xu Rendong was a little puzzled: "Admiration?" As far as this reincarnation is concerned, he doesn't think he has done anything worthy of admiration.

"You are strong. You could have left us and escaped alone, but then we would have to wait for death. Thank you for coming back to save us." He glanced back vaguely, and glanced at the crowd celebrating, "You You should also be able to see that weak people always think that it is fair for those who are capable to work harder. You have helped them once, and they will not think of repaying you, but hope that you will help forever... But that is unfair. So I am very grateful to you, who have gone through so much and are willing to help us weaklings."

We weaklings...

These words caused waves in Xu Rendong's heart.Although Yuan Xueming is a seriously ill patient who relies on machines to maintain his life in the real world and is powerless about his own life and death, he has always been a gentle and reliable big brother image in the world of ghosts and monsters.Despite criticism, he always did what he thought he should do. Xu Rendong felt that the word "weak" was not suitable for him.

However, Yuan Xueming admitted his weakness frankly, and said such words of gratitude, which made Xu Rendong start to respect him from the bottom of his heart.

"Take care." Xu Rendong said, "I will see you later."

Yuan Xueming smiled gently at Xu Rendong, turned his head and walked into the elevator.

Everyone watched helplessly as the elevator door closed, making a low running sound.The time seemed to be stretched for a long time, and everyone stared at the elevator with bated breath, for fear that Yuan Xueming's screams would come from inside in the next second.

After an unknown period of time, the faint sound of the motor disappeared, and the elevator returned to calm.

Xu Rendong raised his hand and pressed the button, ding, the elevator door opened again.It was empty inside, and there was nothing.

Everyone was overjoyed: "Brother Yuan is fine!" "The elevator really works! Great!"

Jiang Li happily said: "It's not too late, let's go too!" She and Wang Yuan looked at each other and smiled, and they stepped into the elevator side by side.

Xu Rendong also nodded and said: "I don't know what will happen if we drag it on any longer. Everyone, let's go."

Everyone was about to enter, but at this time someone questioned again: "Wait! Even if there is no body of Brother Yuan here, it does not prove that the elevator can send us back to the real world! What if... what if this elevator takes us back to the real world? Send it to a more dangerous place!"

Xu Rendong frowned, not knowing how to persuade, but Xu Hong snorted coldly: "Then what do you want? Stay here and wait to die in fear?"

The man was angry: "Is it wrong to be careful? Can you guarantee that this elevator is not a trap!"

Xu Hong stepped into the elevator and mocked without looking back: "Then you can keep it. You bastard will always be a bastard. If you shrink your head and shrink your head, you will still be a bastard if you live for 1 years."

The remark, harsh as it was, hit the nail on the head.The man's face turned blue from her ridicule, and he could no longer speak.

Xu Rendong found that the first few people who entered the elevator were all familiar faces, and he suddenly couldn't help laughing.Sure enough, a person with a bright personality and decisive actions will always leave a deep memory on people.Those mediocre people whose names he can't remember, even if they reincarnate dozens of times, they will still be the background board.

After some ideological struggle, everyone walked into the elevator one after another, and even the man who was scolded as a bastard gave in silently.

Xu Rendong went in at the end, but found that Lian Qiao was standing outside, not intending to come in.

Xu Rendong called him: "Lian Qiao?"

Lian Qiao: "I want to stay for a while."

Xu Rendong: "Why?"

Lian Qiao said: "Didn't the rabbit send us a mission, just... looking for gifts or something. Well, I'm a little curious, what will happen if we really collect all the gifts and hand them over to it?"

This question has indeed troubled Xu Rendong for a long time.At this time, everyone except Lian Qiao was already waiting in the elevator, Xu Rendong thought for a while, and left the elevator again.

Lian Qiao was taken aback.Xu Rendong turned his head and said: "You go first, I will stay with him."

Jiang Li in the elevator nodded, and was about to close the door when Lian Qiao stepped forward suddenly, stretched out his hand to block the elevator door, turned to Xu Rendong and said, "No, no, it's okay, I'll just stay here alone. You go, You don't need to accompany me." He clenched the crowbar in his hand and said confidently, "Anyway, I have a crowbar for self-defense, and I am very powerful in combat, so you don't have to worry about me."

Xu Rendong recalled the feat of smashing the black rabbit into meat sauce while crying violently, and said with deep empathy: "Well, I'm really not worried about you."

Lian Qiao didn't expect that Xu Rendong would not even be polite to him, the atmosphere suddenly became awkward, and he was speechless for a while.

"Are you going or not?" Someone in the elevator couldn't help it.

Lian Qiao hesitated, and wanted to say something, but Xu Rendong had already pulled his hand away.The elevator door closed slowly, and a sentence came from inside: "Thank you. See you by fate."

Xu Rendong saw that it was Jiang Li who said this, and his hair shuddered: "Forget it, forget it, I don't want to see you again."

He touched his neck subconsciously, and suddenly remembered that he hadn't asked Jiang Li why he cut his throat in revenge.In fact, he has always wanted to get an answer. For example, she is pregnant, or there is an elderly person in her family who is seriously ill and bedridden, and she cannot leave her as the breadwinner.In the end, he still hoped that Jiang Li had a hard time, that's why he betrayed him and killed him, his savior.

But at the moment when the elevator door closed, he saw Jiang Li and Wang Yuan's hands were tightly held together, both of them showed satisfied and happy expressions on their faces.At that moment, he suddenly understood that they just wanted to live.

Wanting to live, wanting to live with a lover, this kind of thing doesn't need any special reason at all.

Wanting to live is a reason in itself.

Xu Rendong suddenly felt relieved, and his mood became peaceful.He looked at the elevator and didn't speak, even Joe didn't take the initiative to speak, just looked at him quietly and quietly.A smile gradually formed on the corner of his mouth.

Finally, the sound of the elevator running stopped, and everything returned to silence.There are only two of them left in the whole world.

Xu Rendong said, "Let's go."

Lian Qiao walked side by side with him: "Yes."

The two re-explored the church.Of the six known dolls so far, one has been smashed by Brother Sledgehammer, and the other is the first-seeing doll with a trap hidden in it, which has not yet been picked up in the snow.The remaining four are now in their hands.

The two sat in the pews of the chapel and began to discuss what to do next.Xu Rendong remembered that Lian Qiao once questioned whether there was something hidden on the back of the compass, so he found a small knife, inserted the tip of the knife into the gap of the dial, and tried to pry the dial open.

Lian Qiao watched him dismantle the compass, not worried that they would lose their way without the compass.He was just curious, why did Xu Rendong stay?Although the boss clearly stated that he was not worried about him, but the actual action now is to accompany him to find a doll.

why?

An imperceptible tenderness bloomed in Lian Qiao's eyes.

The internal structure of the compass is very simple, just a small magnetic needle fixed on the dial.But after removing the dial, the two were surprised to find that there was another pointer hidden on the back of the compass.

The compass on the front has red and blue ends, pointing north and south respectively.The one on the back is directly made into the shape of an arrow. No matter how the dial is turned, it points straight to a certain direction, neither north-south nor east-west.

"Go and see?" Lian Qiao asked.

Xu Rendong nodded, and the two of them wrapped their coats tightly and left the church in the direction indicated by the arrow.

Arrows point to the edge of the forest.Xu Rendong felt more and more familiar as he walked, and he had roughly guessed the result in his heart.Sure enough, the arrow finally led them to a certain big tree.The tree was unattractive in appearance and looked no different from other trees around it.Xu Rendong bent down, scraped away the snow on the ground, and found a matryoshka doll that was emitting black air.This is the matryoshka who once twisted people into twists.

Lian Qiao was pleasantly surprised: "Does this pointer point to the position of the remaining dolls?"

Xu Rendong: "It's possible."

Lian Qiao said again: "Look, the direction of the arrow has changed! It seems that the next nesting doll is in that direction! Let's find it quickly."

Xu Rendong glanced in the direction he was pointing, and stretched out his hand to grab Lian Qiao who was eager to try: "This direction is opposite to our hunter's cabin. It's getting late, let's go back today to rectify, otherwise before dark I'm afraid we won't find a place to stay. Sleeping outside in such cold weather, we'll freeze to death."

Lian Qiao readily agreed.

Although there is no guidance of a compass, Xu Rendong is already very familiar with the terrain of this area.Not long after, the two returned to the hunter's lodge, exhausted.

They had hardly lit the fireplace when a blizzard began to fall outside.The north wind seemed to be tangible, beating the windows, making a disturbing restlessness.The matches in the fireplace were crackling, and the firelight illuminated the room very warmly, as if it kept the cold out.

Lian Qiao was squatting in front of the fireplace, playing with a torch, and suddenly said, "We seem to be on vacation."

Xu Rendong turned his head when he heard the words, and saw that Lian Qiao was enveloped in the warm firelight, with a smile on his lips, and a gentle demeanor, which made people want to smile too.

The scene was so warm and peaceful that Xu Rendong also had the same thought—they seemed like a... couple on vacation.

However, this delicate and charming emotion completely disappeared at dinner time.

Xu Rendong ate Lieba and milk in despair, and deeply realized that he absolutely loved Lian Qiao.If he left here with the big army today, he has already returned to the real world to eat and drink spicy food, so why would he need to continue eating bread!

What is the difference between this kind of behavior and being willing to eat shit for the sake of your girlfriend!

Fortunately, Lian Qiao is a boy, otherwise he really wondered if he had fallen in love with him.
