Death Spiral [Infinite Flow]

The old nun was already waiting for them inside, seeing them take so long to come in, she scolded them again.She took them to a room on the second floor and warned them not to make trouble at night, or they would be kicked out.

She was about to leave when Xu Rendong suddenly remembered something and asked, "Are there really monsters at night? Will they eat people?"

The old nun let out a hoarse giggling laugh, like a saw cutting a piece of moldy old wood, which made people's ears itchy: "Shouldn't the disobedient child be punished?" She used her dead fish eyes one by one. Sweeping over the children, "Bad children are eaten, and the rest are good children. Don't you think so?"

What she said made everyone feel furious.Satisfied, the old nun saw that the faces of the newcomers turned pale with fright, and they made that unpleasant giggling sound again, and walked away hunched over.

The newcomers are immersed in fear, while the veteran players have already begun to think about the meaning of the nun's words.It's a pity that there are too few clues now, and there is really nothing to reason about.

Xu Rendong and the two brought their sister to another bedroom next door.This bedroom is the same as the room just now, with several bunk beds for children.Obviously the rooms have not been used for a long time and the musty smell in the air is very uncomfortable.The sheets and quilts are also cold and hard. Fortunately, the weather is not too cold at this time, otherwise if you sleep here for one night, you will probably get sick.

This monastery is an old building, and of course there is no electric light.There was also only one old kerosene lamp in the room.Xu Rendong had only seen this thing on TV, and didn't know how to play with it, but Lian Qiao was very familiar with this thing, so he lit the fire in two or three times, and the small bedroom was finally brightened.

With the lighting tools, the first thing is of course to search the room.This time they were very lucky, and found a small schoolbag under the bed, as well as some small toys such as skipping ropes and sandbags.These things were dirty and covered with heavy dust, but Lian Qiao put them all into the small school bag like a treasure, and happily carried it on his shoulders.It looks like a primary school student who came out for a spring outing.

Xu Rendong knew that he had hamster disease again, so he didn't bother to complain about him, but just patted the ashes on his schoolbag for him.

The search is over.The girl hugged the baby, picked a slightly cleaner bed, sat down, and sighed: "Emma, ​​I'm so exhausted. The front foot is still in the caesarean section, and the back foot fell into such a ghostly place. I feel tired! By the way , I haven't introduced myself yet, my name is Ye Qingliu."

Wait — still cesarean on the forefoot? !

No wonder she is so obsessed with babies... But is she so tough after giving birth?I am not afraid of falling into the world of ghosts and ghosts, and I even dare to swear at old players.Is this what Mengxin should look like?

Xu Rendong and Lian Qiao couldn't help looking at each other.This girl really lives up to her name, and she is definitely a clear stream in the world of newcomers.

The two also reported their names.Lian Qiao asked: "By the way, where did this baby come from? Who brought it out of the elevator?"

Ye Qingliu said: "Probably not. As soon as I came out, I saw this child lying at the gate of the monastery, looking like an abandoned baby. Others ignored him, so I picked him up."

The word "abandoned baby" brought back Xu Rendong's memories again.

He himself was an orphan and grew up in an orphanage.According to the director of the orphanage, he was also abandoned at the entrance of the orphanage.At that time, he was just born, the umbilical cord on his body had not been cut, and his body was covered in blood.It was still snowing heavily that day, and when he was found, he was already purple, and he almost didn't survive that winter night.

I don't know what kind of cruel mother would abandon a newborn baby in the snow.

Lian Qiao suddenly said: "Then how did this hard-working teammate climb out of the elevator after turning into a baby? I think the swaddling clothes are so tightly wrapped that he can't climb himself. Could it be that the elevator will kick out at the end of the day?" people?"

Xu Rendong came back to his senses, and followed his train of thought: "You suspect that he is not a teammate, but an NPC?"

Lian Qiao: "It doesn't have to be an NPC, it might also be a prop."

Xu Rendong: "..." Your game anchors have so many ideas.

When Ye Qingliu heard that the baby was just a prop, he immediately became upset: "God damn prop! A waste of my mother's feelings!"

Xu Rendong comforted: "There is nothing wrong with being a prop. If he is really a teammate, then before shrinking, he might be a middle-aged uncle. You have held him in your arms for so long, isn't it very Embarrassed?"

Ye Qingliu: "...what you said makes sense." As he spoke, he threw the baby to the bed with a disgusted look on his face.

Xu Rendong was helpless: "You change your face too quickly. If it is a baby, you hold it in your palm, and uncle, you throw it away? Does the uncle have no human rights? How can you..."

Ye Qingliu interrupted him coldly: "Because I'm a double-standard bitch."

Xu Rendong was speechless.

Lian Qiao couldn't help admiring her. She deserves to be a woman admired by the boss. She does things neatly and even dares to hate the boss!Awesome!

Ye Qingliu stared at the two of them for a while, and suddenly remembered something, then took out his phone and took a selfie of himself.Then stare at the screen in thought.

Xu Rendong and Lian Qiao were once again in shock, both of them thought in their hearts: Sister Qingliu will set up a place here to post a Moments, go back and show off the world of ghosts and monsters to friends, right?

When the two were so impressed by Ye Qingliu, Ye Qingliu looked up at them, and said depressedly: "Everyone is just shrinking normally, why are you two turning on the beauty filter?"

Lian Qiao: "Huh?"

Xu Rendong is also inexplicable.

Ye Qingliu pointed his mobile phone at them, clicked, took a group photo of them, and said very uncomfortably, "Come and see for yourself."

Xu Rendong and Lian Qiao leaned over, and saw two pink and jade-carved boys, one big and one small, like a pair of soft, cute little angels on the screen.Lian Qiao scratched her head, feeling a little embarrassed suddenly, not knowing what to say.

Xu Rendong stared at the photo for a while, puzzled and said: "No problem, I looked like this when I was a child."

Lian Qiao: "Uh, me too."

Ye Qingliu: "..."

Xu Rendong glanced at her, and asked caringly: "Didn't you become what you were when you were a child? Have you become ugly?"

Ye Qingliu felt a lot of knives being stabbed in his heart, and said angrily: "Okay, okay, knowing that you two are beautiful and prosperous, it's really irritating! Stop chatting! Go to sleep!"

As he spoke, he pulled the quilt over, fell on the bed, and fell asleep cleanly.

Although Ye Qingliu disliked the baby, she still fulfilled her duty as a temporary mother, lying on the same bed with the baby in her arms.Xu Rendong and Lian Qiao each slept in a small bed.

After turning off the lights, Xu Rendong tossed and turned on the bed, too hungry to fall asleep.It wasn't long before he heard the sound of Gululu coming from the next door, and even Joe's stomach began to growl.Xu Rendong couldn't help laughing.

"Not asleep yet?" He asked softly.

Although he and Lian Qiao slept on two small beds, they were facing head to head.Therefore, as long as you speak in a low voice, the other party can hear you, without waking Ye Qingliu who is on the other side.

Lian Qiao groaned and rubbed her belly in distress: "I'm so hungry, I want to eat meat."

Xu Rendong: "We should bring some food in next time." If he brings his own food, he can change his taste, so that he won't have the tragedy of throwing up milk and bread like in the first world.

Lian Qiao said: "Actually, I also thought of this. I prepared a big bag of snacks. But I didn't expect this copy to be opened so soon, and I didn't bring a crowbar... It's over, I'm so panicked."

Xu Rendong comforted: "Look at our current body shape, even if you bring a crowbar, you must not have much fighting power."

Lian Qiao: "Well, what you said makes sense. I think this dungeon shrinks us in size, just to prevent us from being tough with monsters. In fact, there are also such types in horror games, that is, you can't use any weapons, you can only use them through Solve puzzles and explore to escape from birth. When encountering monsters, you can only run, not fight. The focus of this game is to decrypt itself, and to create a powerless horror atmosphere. After all, if you can drive Wushuang Mowing, It's not scary at all if you easily kill the monsters (Note 1)."

Xu Rendong: "Then isn't this kind of game difficult?"

Lian Qiao: "No. Because this kind of game usually assumes that you are the fastest runner in the whole game. As long as you don't get lost or hit the trap, monsters will never catch up with you."

Xu Rendong was silent for a moment: "Now I am three years old and you are five years old. Do you think we run fast?"

Lian Qiao woke up like a dream: "...Damn it! I'm so good!"

Xu Rendong was amused by his belated reaction: "Don't be afraid, play it by ear. Go to bed early."

Lian Qiao took several deep breaths, but still shivered and admitted: "I'm sorry, sir, I'm still scared and can't sleep. I always feel like there are people outside..."

Xu Rendong was helpless: "Don't think about it."

Lian Qiao asked cautiously: "Can I come and sleep with you...?"

Xu Rendong reflected for a while, even Qiao was so scared, he was scared out of it by himself, he had to take responsibility, so he moved into the bed and said, "Okay."

Lian Qiao seemed to be pardoned, quickly rolled up the quilt, and jumped onto his bed excitedly.The bed was not very strong. When he jumped up so firmly, the bed board immediately made a creaking sound, as if it would not be able to bear the weight in the next second, and the whole thing would collapse.

Xu Rendong glanced at him speechlessly, and even Qiao gasped in a hiss.The two of them didn't dare to move for a while, they straightened their bodies, for fear that the bed would collapse if they moved a little.

The bed creaked and creaked for a while, and Ye Qingliu's confused voice came from the opposite side: "What are you arguing about..."

Xu Rendong apologized to her: "Sorry, this bed is not firm."

Ye Qingliu muttered dissatisfiedly: "You two, can't you bear it all night? It's like a beast..."

Xu Rendong: "..." My sister, why can't I understand what you are talking about?

Even Joe looked at the ceiling innocently, saying that I didn't understand either.

Unexpectedly, this burst of noise not only woke up Ye Qingliu, but also woke up the baby beside her.I only heard the baby suck a few times, and soon burst into tears.

Ye Qingliu immediately jumped up: "What's the matter, what's the matter, the alarm?" When she noticed that the loud and piercing sound came from the baby beside her, her expression immediately softened, "Oh, it's you, you scared me to death It's gone." She picked up the baby and coaxed it softly.

Although Ye Qingliu is a real man, he has just become a mother after all, and he treats the baby with extra patience and gentleness.However, no matter how she coaxed, the baby still kept crying.

Xu Rendong and Lian Qiao got off the rickety plank bed carefully.Lian Qiao asked, "What's the matter with him?"

Ye Qingliu: "I don't know, I'm also a first-time mother, so I have no experience. I guess I'm hungry."

Xu Rendong and Lian Qiao cast expectant gazes at Ye Qingliu very honestly, and Ye Qingliu immediately became angry: "What are you looking at! Do you still expect a three-year-old little loli to breastfeed the baby? Do you think I look like I have milk? !"

Lian Qiao couldn't help but glanced at her Pingchuan chest.Sensing his gaze, Ye Qingliu became even angrier, picked up a pillow and threw it on his face: "Hurry up and find milk powder!"

Lian Qiao was only five years old at the moment, and when he was hit in the face by such a big pillow, he sat down on the ground with his buttocks, and fell with a dazed expression on his face.Xu Rendong didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and picked him up from the ground: "Okay, let's go find milk powder, be careful yourself."

Ye Qingliu chased them away like flies.

Two people carried kerosene lamps and came to the corridor.The entire orphanage is illuminated by candle oil lamps, which are old-fashioned things, and the lighting range is extremely limited.At this moment, the corridor was pitch-black, and the wooden floor was creaking from being trampled on, which was particularly permeating.Xu Rendong held up the kerosene lamp, trying to illuminate the distance as much as possible.

Lian Qiao had hugged his arm at some point, looking nervously at his surroundings.This posture was very awkward, after all, the five-year-old Lian Qiao was half a head taller than the three-year-old him, so that Xu Rendong was almost carried away by him.

After holding back for a while, Xu Rendong said tactfully, "Why don't you carry the kerosene lamp?"

Lian Qiao: "Oh." He took the oil lamp and held it up high, with the other hand still tightly grasping Xu Rendong's arm.

The kerosene lamps only illuminated a small circle around them.The darkness was like two gigantic beasts baring their fangs, silently lurking behind them.It seemed that as long as they were a little careless, the beast would pounce on them and startle them.

Lian Qiao was so nervous that he was sweating all over, and felt a chill on his back, as if something terrible was stuck to it.He couldn't help grasping Xu Rendong's arm tightly, only feeling that the young man's arm was soft and tender, more comfortable to pinch than usual.He felt better immediately.

Xu Rendong: "..." It hurts so much from being pinched.

Forget it, even Joe wasn't so cowardly on the first day, so let him pinch it.

The two children, one big and one small, were shrouded in a faint halo, and Xu Rendong smelled a hint of warmth from the flickering shadow of the lamp.

"Warm" was supposed to be odorless, and he knew he was smelling kerosene, but he just couldn't help feeling warm.Just like in the world of matryoshka, Lian Qiao squatted in front of the fireplace, lit a fire, and said to him with frowning eyebrows: We seem to be a couple on vacation (Note 2).At that time, the firelight flickering on Lian Qiao's face and the pine scent of firewood in the air were all full of warmth.

It is attached.

The author has something to say:

Note 1: Wushuang Mowing: Refers to the "Dynasty Warriors" series, opening Wushuang is equivalent to zooming in.Due to the great disparity in strength between generals and ordinary soldiers, even on non-hell difficulty, even a flat cut can make a pile of bones with a wave of a small hand, hence the name mowing grass.

Note 2: A note here, just to emphasize that what Lian Qiao said at the time was "we seem to be on vacation" and did not mention "couple".The word "couple" was made up by Lonicera, but the boss didn't realize it.Spread your hands.
