Death Spiral [Infinite Flow]

Xu Rendong woke up in the elevator.

The silver-white elevator body shone with icy metal light.The two shadows whose bodies have not yet shrunk are reflected on the elevator, standing side by side, with familiar noises beside their ears.

"I want to eat yellow throat..."

Xu Rendong's eyes became wet, he stared at Lian Qiao, his voice was slightly hoarse: "Okay."

Lian Qiao, who was reporting the name of the dish, was taken aback when he heard this: "Brother Liandong, what's wrong with you? Your eyes are so red."

Xu Rendong shook his head: "It's nothing, I just suddenly felt that I'm such a noob."

Lian Qiao suddenly panicked: "Ah? Boss, why are you..."

Xu Rendong interrupted him: "Stop calling me that, I'm just an ordinary person."

Lian Qiao said piously: "But you are a big boss who has passed the level many times..."

Xu Rendong didn't hesitate: "I fooled you."

Lian Qiao opened his eyes wide: "Ah???"

Xu Rendong smiled and changed the subject: "Why did your clothes get bigger?"

Lian Qiao looked down and started yelling as his body shrank.

This is the third time for Xu Rendong to experience what Conan has experienced. There is no fluctuation in his heart, and he even wants to eat yellow throat.But he still pretended to be surprised to show that I was really an ordinary person, and I really didn't expect such a thing to happen.

After the two shrunk down to the size of a child, Lian Qiao still couldn't accept the reality that Xu Rendong was not a big boss.But this does not affect him to follow behind Xu Rendong.

On the way to the monastery, Xu Rendong sorted out the information he had so far in his heart.

First, the cue of this world, "esophagus," refers to the tragic female Lamia in Greek mythology.Because of her affair with Zeus, she was cursed by the queen Hera and became a child-eating monster.And because of Zeus's mercy, she fell asleep when she took off her eyeballs and enjoyed a moment of peace.

Lamia is also the executor of death this time.There are two conditions to trigger death. One is to drink milk powder, and the scent of milk will attract Lamia; but if the baby dies, Lamia will go crazy and kill everyone present with sound waves.From this, it is speculated that the baby is not a team member, but a "prop" that exists in this world itself.As for how the baby will be used, there is no clue yet.

The exit elevator to escape from the ghost world has been found, in the cave where Lamia is hiding.And the most critical elevator button is still not whereabouts, which is the only last mystery left.

The entire monastery has been explored, including the secret cave.Is there a special task that needs to be done to get the button?

Xu Rendong recalled that in the previous world, the elevator button had to be smashed with the hammer of Brother Sledgehammer to open the smallest nesting doll.However, in this world, the NPC did not give them any task prompts.It seems that there are other secrets hidden in this monastery.

His thoughts gradually became clear, and Xu Rendong's heart became clear.He already had an idea of ​​his action plan this time.

The third time I came to the gate of the monastery.As always, the old nun came on stage and scolded her head and face.Ye Qingliu stood in the line with the baby in his arms, his eyes full of curiosity, as if his curiosity about this world of ghosts far outweighed his fear.

The little fat man asked again to abandon the baby.This time Xu Rendong took the initiative to stand up and said, "This baby is not a teammate, but a prop."

The little fat man glared at him displeasedly: "What evidence do you have for saying that?"

Xu Rendong: "No, I guessed it. Believe it or not."

fatty:"……"

Xu Rendong stretched out his hand: "If you don't want it, just give it to me."

The little fat man saw that Xu Rendong was going, rolled his eyeballs, immediately came back to his senses, and said with a smile on his face: "Don't, don't! Brother, I was impulsive. After all, I have little experience and have never encountered such a thing. A world where living people are used as props." At this time, he looked at Xu Rendong with a little flattery in his eyes, "Brother, let me ask a question, how many times have you come here?"

Xu Rendong calmly told big lies: "It's the first time."

The little fat man was not stupid, these words were obviously trying to fool him, his face suddenly changed, and even his fleshy face twitched visibly.He sensed Xu Rendong's hostility, so he no longer took the initiative to win him over. He just hugged the baby tightly in his arms and said with a smile: "Okay. Then let me hold this baby. You are too young. I am afraid that you will hug her." Do not move."

Xu Rendong: "Oh, yes. Then thank you for your hard work."

Little Fatty: "???" Was it so easy to surrender?

Why do you feel like you've been caught in a trap?

Xu Rendong's idea is also very simple, anyway, as long as the baby is fed enough, he won't cry, so it doesn't matter whoever holds it.He can save some energy by handing it over to the little fat man.As for the others, I can't figure it out.Everyone thinks this ridiculously beautiful boy is too strange. If you say he is tough, he will discuss with you and is quite polite; if you say he is easy-going, his words and deeds are arrogant, as if he is not lazy at all. Talk to you nonsense.

Just when everyone was thinking about whether Xu Rendong was an enemy or a friend, Xu Rendong himself had already entered the monastery without looking back.

Although Lian Qiao also had doubts in his heart, he didn't ask any more questions, and just followed Xu Rendong obediently.Everyone was silent for a while, Ren Gaofei, the tallest boy in the team, said: "Everyone, be careful. This person..."

Before he finished speaking, he sighed, as if he didn't know how to evaluate Xu Rendong.The little fat man also said: "This person is not simple." He hugged the baby in his arms tightly.

The moon rose quickly, and the night was as dark as ink, and all the children fell asleep in the room arranged by the old nun.

This time Xu Liandong didn't break away from the main force, but he didn't deliberately blend in with the group and build a good relationship with Little Fatty and the others.He was already very tired, and he didn't want to bother with messy interpersonal relationships. He just wanted to solve the puzzle quickly so that he could leave this world of ghosts and monsters.

Then... go to barbecue with Lian Qiao.

Xu Rendong lay on the cold bed, listening to the breathing of the children around him, calculating the timing in his heart.When the children were all asleep, he tiptoedly lifted the quilt, got up and got out of bed.Before leaving the room, he confirmed that the baby was asleep, so he picked up the kerosene lamp he had prepared in advance and quietly went to the first floor.

The cold air of the night penetrated into the skin, Xu Rendong touched his arm and found that he had goose bumps.At the same time, there was a cramping pain in the stomach, and a feeling of anxiety welled up in the throat.

So hungry.

Although the body has recovered to the best state when he first entered the ghost world, the hunger in his heart has never been relieved.He has to find something to eat.What's more, even if he could bear it, what about Lian Qiao?Where's the baby?What about the little fat man?

Powdered milk is inedible.There is a large amount of food hidden in Lamia's cave, but it is obvious that stealing the food there will also alarm Lamia and cause death.So what to do?

Xu Rendong recalled that Lian Qiao once tripped Lamia with a rope, and used sand to make Lamia slip and fall down the stairs. Although those tricks were not sophisticated, they were very effective.

If it was Lian Qiao, what would he do?

Xu Rendong soon had a plan.

He first came to the kitchen on the first floor and made a small bottle of milk powder.The tempting milk aroma rose quickly, almost filling the entire kitchen.Enduring the cramping pain in his stomach, he swallowed his saliva, quickly wrapped the bottle with his clothes, and walked quickly towards the monastery gate.

This time he didn't wait for the formula to cool down, because the formula is not for babies.The milk powder brewed in boiling water is very hot to hold in the arms, but it also becomes extraordinarily rich in aroma.

Xu Rendong came to the gate.Just like last time, a huge heavy lock was hung on the rusty gate, and it was cold under the moonlight.The outside of the monastery was still covered in thick fog that could not be wiped away. The range of vision was only one meter, and nothing could be seen beyond one meter.

Xu Rendong didn't hesitate too much, unscrewed the bottle cap, put the bottle through the middle of the iron gate railing, flicked his wrist, most of the bottle of milk powder spilled on the ground.He threw the bottle out, only to hear a clear "ping", the glass bottle fell to the ground, rolled a few times and then stopped.

After throwing down the bottle, he immediately ran back to the monastery, and got into the cabinet and hid it well.At this time, the whole body was still covered with the cold air and dew of the night, Xu Rendong hugged himself tightly in the dark cabinet, touched his stomach, and prayed that his stomach would not growl at the critical moment.

Not long after, the sound of "slap, slap" footsteps sounded in the empty living room.Lamia appears.

Through the crack of the door, Xu Rendong saw Lamia walking straight out of the door.The baby bottle outside the iron gate was absolutely attractive to her, she hardly stayed in the living room, and naturally she didn't notice Xu Rendong.Xu Rendong waited in the cabinet for a while, until Lamia walked into the courtyard, he came out lightly.

When Lamia came to the big iron gate, she immediately discovered that the milk smell came from the milk bottle on the ground.But as Xu Rendong expected, her IQ was not enough to recognize that it was just a feeding bottle and not a child, so she stretched out her arm from the gap in the railing, trying to reach the feeding bottle on the ground.

The slender and pale arm looked like a crumpled snake in the moonlight.Xu Rendong calculated the location, and the place where the bottle fell was just beyond the reach of Lamia's fingers.No matter how hard Lamia stretches her arms, her fingertips are always only a little away from the bottle.This made her extremely annoyed, and instead squeezed her shoulders even harder into the cracks in the railing.

With her IQ, she probably won't be able to solve this problem for a while.Xu Rendong is very confident about this.

So he stopped peeping, but quickly came to the gray wall at the end of the corridor.

He found the chalk ahead of time.Since the old nun hadn't taught them yet, the chalk was still a long stick.He held the chalk tightly in his hands, and his hands were no longer shaking so much that he couldn't hold it like last time.Xu Rendong calmly drew four horizontal and vertical white lines on the wall, and with a slight noise, the stone door was pushed open.The familiar dark cave appeared in front of him.

Xu Rendong took a deep breath, raised the kerosene lamp, and walked into the cave.The stone gate was then closed, like a giant beast that opened its big black mouth and swallowed the young child.

While Xu Rendong was searching the cave full of food with his small backpack, on the second floor, in the children's room, Lian Qiao was standing by the window, looking into the courtyard.

What is that white thing?Long-handed and long-legged, with a slender figure, and a long snake tail trailing behind it...

Even Joe had many monsters with similar images in his mind, but he was not sure if they were.The white guy was trying very hard to squeeze his body out of the gap in the railing. Even though its hands had been stretched out so far, it still couldn't reach the white thing on the ground that reflected the moonlight.It seems that that thing is very important to it.

But what exactly is that?

Lian Qiao narrowed his eyes and stared at the thing for a long time, finally saw clearly that it was a baby bottle.The bottle had been overturned, and the ground was covered with milk, still steaming hot.

Lian Qiao thought for a moment, then glanced back at the crib.

That baby is sleeping soundly.

Lian Qiao suddenly understood something, showing an expression of enlightenment.Then, he frowned again.

The author has something to say:

Lian Qiaomei turned her head and wrinkled the script, and found that things were not simple.
