Death Spiral [Infinite Flow]

As if falling from a high altitude, the body shook violently.

Xu Rendong stared blankly at the void.There was a voice ringing in his ear, and for a moment he couldn't tell what it was.My head was empty, like a big hole had been dug out by an electric drill, and I couldn't think of anything.

He only remembered that Lian Qiao was leaning softly against him, his body was still warm, but there was no trace of life.

He doesn't remember anything else, and he doesn't even know how he died.

After an unknown amount of time, the brain finally woke up from the stimulation of death.He finally heard what the rambling voice was saying.

"Mutton skewers, lamb kidneys, grilled chicken heart, grilled chicken wings, grilled eggplant, enoki mushroom..."

This voice—

Xu Rendong turned his head abruptly, and saw Lian Qiao swallowing at the word "esophagus".At this time, Lian Qiao hadn't gotten any younger, she was still in her twenties, but there was still a childlike innocence and softness in her demeanor.

he is alive

He is still alive!

very nice.

Xu Rendong suddenly felt his eyes astringent, but couldn't help raising the corners of his mouth.

For the first time, Xu Rendong felt lucky that he was able to be reborn.Fortunately, everything can be restarted, and he still has a chance to save it.He can save Lian Qiao, he can save Ye Qingliu... and he can return to the real world safely with them——

As long as the death circle continues... as long as he takes advantage of his own death.

"...Brother Liandong?" Lian Qiao looked at him in surprise, "What's wrong with you? Your eyes are so red."

Xu Rendong smiled: "I'm hungry too."

Lian Qiao was puzzled: "...Huh?"

Before Lian Qiao could understand the relationship between hunger and red eyes, the bodies of the two began to shrink at a speed visible to the naked eye.This time Xu Rendong had already gained experience, and calmly rolled up his long sleeves and trouser legs.His calm was in stark contrast to the fussing Lian Qiao, who was still in shock and excitement until the changes stopped.

"Brother Liandong, look!" Lian Qiao pulled him to the elevator door, "I'm taller than you!"

Through the reflective surface of the metal, Xu Rendong saw two children, one big and one small, holding hands.Lian Qiao's palms were warm and soft, and the heat from each other's body came from the shoulders that were close to each other.This feeling was so warm that he was a little dazed for a moment.

Lian Qiao suddenly pinched his face lightly.Xu Rendong was frightened, and suddenly pulled Lian Qiao's hand away.Lian Qiao was taken aback by him, and hurriedly apologized: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, big brother, I was wrong! You look so cute now, I couldn't hold back for a while... I'm sorry, I was wrong! I won't dare in the future!"

Xu Rendong soon realized that he had overreacted.He was actually not that disgusted by Lian Qiao pinching his face, but he hadn't fully recovered from the shadow of death, and now he was like a frightened bird, and even a little stimulation could make him jump up.

Lian Qiao misunderstood, Xu Rendong was a little embarrassed.But the five-year-old Lian Qiao looked silly, like a soft glutinous dumpling, easy to pinch at first glance.Xu Rendong suddenly had the idea of ​​playing a prank, so he put on a straight face, pretending to be unhappy, and waved to Lian Qiao: "Come here."

Lian Qiao faltered immediately, showing an aggrieved expression of being afraid of being punished by her parents but not daring to be disobedient, but she obediently came over.

Xu Rendong raised his hand, Lian Qiao thought he was going to hit him, shrank his shoulders and closed his eyes in fright.Xu Rendong just poked his cheek with his finger, and then squeezed his face.

The feel is far better than imagined.Soft and tender, like egg pudding.Xu Rendong couldn't help pinching a few more times.

Lian Qiao opened his eyes in a daze, and found that although the boss had a serious face, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and his appearance of enjoying it but trying to restrain himself was simply extremely cute.Lian Qiao suddenly felt that the deer was bumping wildly, and rubbed his face forward like a dog, and said happily and flatteringly: "Brother Liandong, I will pinch this side for you too!"

Xu Rendong accepted his kindness frankly, hugged his cheeks, and kneaded them like kneading dough.Lian Qiao was well-behaved the whole time, wishing she could lie down and touch her belly.I have to say, this feeling is really unforgettable.It wasn't until the elevator door opened with a "ding" that Xu Rendong withdrew his hand and coughed awkwardly.

"gone."

Lian Qiao hurriedly followed: "Brother Liandong, are you not angry?"

Xu Rendong: "Yes."

Lian Qiao wagged his tail happily again.

The two came to the gate of the monastery side by side, and Xu Rendong saw the familiar Ye Qingliu and the others again.This time, everyone disagreed again on whether to take the baby with them.Ye Qingliu was stubborn, and the little fat guy formed a clique, and no one would give in, which soon caused a quarrel.

Xu Rendong looked at the baby in Ye Qingliu's hands, and suddenly thought of a question:

After the white basilisk ate the baby, why did it suddenly go mad and scream?

Although the reason is not clear, what is certain is that once the basilisk screams, no one present can escape.At that time, Lian Qiao was directly shocked by the sound waves to vomit blood, and even though he was protected by Lian Qiao in his arms, he still had a severe headache and nausea, and even his eyeballs fell out.

He guessed that after the brain was strongly stimulated, the intracranial pressure rose rapidly, causing the blood vessels to rupture, and a large amount of blood gushed out the eyeballs directly out of the eye sockets.

They were too close to the basilisk to bear the brunt of the attack and suffered severe internal injuries.But the other people who are separated by a wall are probably not much better. After all, everyone has short legs and can't run very far.The penetrating power of that sound is too strong, I am afraid that within a radius of several hundred meters, people will be crippled even if they are not dead.

——That is to say, if the baby is eaten, it will directly lead to the annihilation of all members.

There is no doubt that they must ensure the safety of the baby.Xu Rendong remembered that when the white basilisk was chasing and killing them, as soon as it heard the baby crying, the basilisk immediately dropped Lian Qiao in its mouth.It seems that the white basilisk is more inclined to eat babies than their four or five-year-old children.This means that people with babies are more likely to be hunted down by the basilisk, but as long as the babies don't cry, they still have a chance.

After Xu Rendong figured this out, he spoke to stop the quarreling crowd.

"Stop arguing." He said, "I'll take care of the baby. I won't act with you, and I will be responsible for what happens."

As soon as this remark came out, everyone including Lian Qiao was stunned.

Ye Qingliu hugged the baby tightly: "What do you mean?"

The little fat man also asked suspiciously, "What do you want to do?"

Xu Rendong said: "I know it in my heart." He paused, and looked around the crowd coldly, "I'm a veteran player, this is my eighth time coming here."

Anyone who has experienced the world of ghosts knows what the "eighth time" means, and all the old players are silent.Ye Qingliu is a newcomer, and she still doesn't understand the weight of these words, but she can tell that Xu Rendong has already overwhelmed everyone in terms of momentum.She hesitated for a moment, but still asked uncertainly: "You will really protect him? You won't throw him away while I'm not paying attention, will you?"

"No." The corner of Xu Rendong's mouth twitched, showing a somewhat self-deprecating smile, which seemed out of place on his childish face, "I am an abandoned baby myself. Believe me, I will not do the same thing as my parents thing."

Only then did Ye Qingliu heave a sigh of relief.Lian Qiao took a deep look at Xu Rendong, and there was an inexplicable emotion in his eyes.

In the end, Xu Rendong's proposal was unanimously approved, and Ye Qingliu handed over the baby to him.Soon, the old nun appeared, and came up with another accusation of yin and yang.Everyone followed the old nun into the monastery, with different expressions on their faces, and they all had their own plans in their hearts.

When everyone stepped into the gate of the monastery, Xu Rendong heard an almost inaudible click from behind.He looked back and found that the big iron gate in the yard had been locked.

It turned out that it wasn't locked by the nun.

It seems that the scope of activities this time is limited to the interior of the monastery, which should mean that the elevators and buttons are all in the monastery.

Like last time, the old nun left after leading the children into the big bedroom.Xu Rendong left the team as agreed, picked up the baby and went out, Lian Qiao followed without hesitation.

Xu Rendong said: "Stay here, don't follow me."

Lian Qiao was puzzled: "Why?"

Xu Rendong said coldly: "Didn't you understand what I said? This time I will act alone."

Lian Qiao was taken aback: "But haven't we already formed a team?... I thought the 'I' you mentioned meant 'we' by default."

The confusion in his eyes gradually turned into grievance and injury.Xu Rendong looked at the rain-soaked puppy-like eyes, and couldn't bear it for a while.He sighed, and softened his attitude: "You are right, we have already formed a team. Can you promise to be obedient?"

Lian Qiao nodded vigorously, patted his chest and swore: "Absolutely obedient! I will listen to whatever you say! As long as you let me..."

Xu Rendong smiled and interrupted him: "Then stay obediently and don't follow me. Just tonight, huh?"

Lian Qiao didn't expect Xu Rendong to dig a hole for him here, and he was stunned.

Xu Rendong asked: "Are you listening?"

Lian Qiao looked at him helplessly, and nodded reluctantly.

Xu Rendong said: "Go back, go to bed early. It's dark outside, don't come out no matter what happens."

Even Joe noticed that the corridor was dark and there was no light at all.The gloomy ghostly thoughts invaded the skin like cold mist, causing goosebumps immediately.Lian Qiao became timid in a second, folded his arms and said, "Okay, then I'll go in. Brother Lonicera, you must be careful."

Xu Rendong: "You too."

After finally getting rid of Lian Qiao, Xu Rendong carried the baby to the kitchen on the first floor and began to make milk powder for the baby.

When the hot water cooled down, Xu Rendong recalled Lian Qiaoyi's reluctance.Lian Qiao is very dependent on him, obviously he is the stronger one, but he always likes to follow behind him.Foolishly worship him, foolishly listen to him.

Like a silly little bird, it doesn't know if it recognizes the wrong parents.

Xu Rendong thought about it, unconsciously raised the corners of his mouth, his eyes and brows were stained with a gentle smile.

When he came to his senses, the water temperature was almost there.This time, the baby was fed by Xu Rendong before crying from hunger, and fell into a peaceful sleep.

Even though the bottle is empty, the whole kitchen still has a strong milky aroma.Xu Rendong never knew that powdered milk could be so fragrant, and his stomach growled along with it.But he is not in the mood to drink milk powder now.

Although the baby is full, the smell of milk will attract the basilisk.The three-year-old body is unable to fight, let alone with a baby, encountering the basilisk can only lead to death.

what can we do about it?

... If it was Lian Qiao, what would he do?

When he was about to wash the baby bottle, Xu Rendong suddenly had an idea.So I came to the living room, got into a cabinet with the baby in my arms, and put the bottle outside the cabinet.

When the cabinet door is closed, it is pitch black inside the cabinet.Xu Rendong held the sleeping baby in his arms and waited quietly.

Not long after, he heard a soft rustling outside.The sound was like a snake crawling in the desert, it was heavy and muffled, but it was very clear in the silent monastery.

The white basilisk is crawling towards the cupboard.
