Death Spiral [Infinite Flow]

Lian Qiao waited quietly in the dark. After an unknown amount of time, light footsteps finally sounded in the corridor.

He felt a little relieved, pulled the quilt over and closed his eyes, pretending nothing happened, and pretended to be asleep obediently.The bedroom door was opened and closed, and soon, Lian Qiao felt someone approaching.A warm little hand pushed him gently.

"Lian Qiao, wake up."

The voice is low and soft, like a lover's caress.

Lian Qiao pretended not to hear.The man called a few more times, and seeing that Lian Qiao didn't respond, he sighed softly.He only heard the rustling of the cloth, but didn't know what he was doing.

Are you undressing?Want to sleep with me?

Lian Qiao's heart was beating violently and he couldn't restrain his excitement.Just when he was about to put it on, a smell of barbecue rushed into his nose.

Huh?

Lian Qiao opened his eyes in surprise, and suddenly his lips touched something warm and fragrant.He subconsciously licked it—it was a roast leg of lamb!

"Let's eat." Xu Rendong said softly.

Lian Qiao got up from the bed carefully, trying not to make a sound.He took the roast leg of lamb and asked inexplicably, "Brother Liandong, where did you get it?"

In the dark, he couldn't see Xu Rendong's face clearly, but he felt Xu Rendong smiled at him.

"It was stolen from the boss." Xu Rendong whispered, "I will explain it to you tomorrow."

"Okay." Lian Qiao nodded, grabbed the roast leg of lamb, and happily gnawed on it.

After a slight noise, Xu Rendong beside him also sat on the bed.In the darkness, even people close at hand could not see clearly, but even Qiao could feel that Xu Rendong was eating with something in his hand.He suddenly felt like they were two boarding students who secretly ate supper after the lights were turned off, daring not to make a sound like thieves for fear of being discovered by the housekeeper.

Lian Qiao couldn't help raising the corners of his mouth, and looked at Xu Rendong without any scruples in the dark.Although he couldn't see anything, hearing the faint sound of chewing and swallowing coming from that direction made Lian Qiao feel an indescribable sense of excitement.

The anxious seed in my heart, taking advantage of the darkness, grew unscrupulously.

Just when Lian Qiao was about to lose control and wanted to do something, Xu Rendong suddenly asked, "Have you finished eating?"

Lian Qiao: "Yes."

Xu Rendong: "I'll give you a handkerchief, wipe it off."

Lian Qiao was taken aback.He felt Xu Rendong groping in the dark, but couldn't find him.So he stretched out his hand intuitively, and quickly grabbed Xu Rendong's hand.Those are the tender, soft hands of a child.

Lian Qiao suddenly froze as if he was being shocked by an electric shock.

Xu Rendong gave him the handkerchief, and quickly retracted it.Lian Qiao held the handkerchief that was still warm, and thought blankly: What am I doing... am I in heat with a three-year-old child?

A five-year-old versus a three-year-old?so terrible.

Physiological discomfort submerged Lian Qiao like a tide.In a strong self-blame, he spent a sleepless night.

The next day, Lian Qiao woke up with a pair of heavy dark circles under his eyes, and saw Ye Qingliu feeding the baby rice cereal.The little fat man asked questions about the rice noodles that suddenly appeared. Ye Qingliu spread his hands, saying that I don't know, and it was on the table when I woke up.

Fatty: "Only rice cereal? Is there nothing else?"

Ye Qingliu: "Only rice paste."

The little fat man was not satisfied with the answer, he frowned and muttered: "Impossible, I seemed to smell the smell of barbecue last night... Could it be that I was dreaming?"

Lian Qiao turned her head guiltily, but Xu Rendong said with certainty: "You are dreaming."

The little fat man wanted to ask other people, but Lian Qiao quickly interjected: "Yes, I also smell the food, but I'm a hot pot."

Ye Qingliu gave him a contemptuous look: "Dream, where do you get hot pot in such a crappy place?"

The little fat man showed a suspicious expression, he hesitated to speak, but he didn't ask any more questions after all.

At this time, it was just dawn, and the children woke up one after another, discussing what to do for today.Not long after, the old nun suddenly appeared at the door of the room.

Xu Rendong caught a glimpse of the nun, and immediately stood in front of Ye Qingliu, quietly blocking the sight of the old nun with his body, preventing her from seeing the rice paste in Ye Qingliu's hand.The old nun's cloudy eyes like dead fish looked around, and her withered lips twitched.

"You little bastards, come out!" She knocked on the door frame with a pointer, and said sternly, "Don't dawdle, come downstairs with me!"

All the children looked at each other anxiously, no one dared to defy the NPC, and they all obediently followed downstairs.

In the living room on the first floor, the old nun pointed at the blackboard and asked who stole the chalk.The children were very surprised. After all, they only entered the monastery last night. No one noticed that there was such a blackboard in the corner of the living room. Who would come to steal the chalk?

Xu Rendong stood silently in the crowd without saying a word.

The old nun's questioning was fruitless, and she sneered and said, "Hehe, okay! You little bastards are not willing to say yes! Then you will be punished together! Stand up for me one by one! Stretch out your hands!"

She fiddled with the pointer in her hand, staring at the children sullenly, obviously she would not show mercy.The children looked at each other, and a few timid and honest ones had already stood obediently, waiting for the old nun to punish them.

Xu Rendong suddenly noticed that the little fat man glanced at him, that look was not quite right, Xu Rendong's heart tightened immediately.Sure enough, the little fat man turned his head to the old nun and said, "Nun, sister, actually last night..."

Xu Rendong interrupted him calmly: "Last night, the baby seemed to be hungry and kept crying."

The little fat man was taken aback, and narrowed his eyes to look at Xu Rendong.When the old nun heard that the baby was crying, she showed a subtle expression and asked with great interest, "Oh? Did you feed it?"

Xu Liandong looked directly into the gray eyes of the old nun: "I just fed some water and coaxed me for a long time before I stopped crying. So I thought, can we punish the older ones today? It's too small, if If you don't give it food today, it will definitely not be able to hold on."

A gloomy smile flashed across the face of the old nun: "You are very thoughtful. Well, then I will spare you this time. There is milk powder in the kitchen, go and feed it!"

After finishing speaking, she walked upstairs slowly.The children watched her back, and it was not until she returned to her room and locked the door with a click that everyone relaxed a little.

The little fat man suddenly grabbed Xu Rendong by the collar: "You took the chalk, right! I told you not to act without authorization! You almost killed us just now!"

Xu Rendong lied without hesitation: "It's not me."

The little fat man said angrily, "Who else is it if it's not you!"

Lian Qiao stepped forward to persuade him: "We are all our own people, why do you mess up as soon as you come up? Let him go first, and talk about it if you have something to say."

The little fat man glared at him, but still held on to Xu Rendong.Xu Rendong frowned, and was about to resist, but Lian Qiao took the first step, aiming at the little fat man's foot and stomping hard!

"Ouch!" The little fat man jumped up in pain after being stepped on his big toe, and he let go of his hand naturally.

Lian Qiao withdrew his feet innocently: "Look, it's not good to use hands and feet, and it hurts peace."

All the children: "..." You really think of yourself as a five-year-old child!

Xu Rendong was amused by Lian Qiao's childish behavior.He suddenly discovered that Lian Qiao had a lot of insidious tricks. Although he didn't appear on the stage, it was effective!Xu Rendong couldn't help giving him a thumbs up in his heart, and then said to everyone: "Okay, don't waste any more time. While the NPC is not here, let's split up and explore."

The little fat man glared at him indignantly. In the end, reason prevailed, and he took Ren Gaofei and others upstairs.Xu Rendong brought his team to the kitchen on the first floor, pretended to rummage through the boxes, and soon found the milk powder bag.

Ye Qingliu came over: "Is this the milk powder that the old aunt said?" The baby in her arms had already woken up and was sucking her finger.Ye Qingliu pulled the baby's fingers out of its mouth, and whispered, "It's unhygienic, don't eat hands and hands."

"I suspect this is a trap." Xu Rendong pondered, "When the old nun mentioned milk powder, the expression on her face was not quite right, as if she was waiting to see a good show. And she didn't even punish us physically, just directly Go back to your room and hide, no matter how you look at it, there is a problem."

All Mengxins suddenly realized, and they all said that it is fortunate that you are thoughtful, otherwise we would have been fooled.

Xu Rendong heaved a sigh of relief, the lie was finally over.He put away the milk powder, and when he looked up, he met Lian Qiao with thoughtful eyes.

Xu Rendong remembered that he had promised to give Lian Qiao an answer, so he walked up to Lian Qiao and said in a low voice, "I'll take you to a place."

Lian Qiao's eyes lit up.

Xu Rendong dismissed the crowd, and Lian Qiao went to the white wall at the end of the corridor in the living room alone, then took out chalk and began to draw doors on the wall.Lian Qiao suppressed his excitement, looked around to look out for him, and kept muttering: "Is this the boss? Brother Lonicera, you are really good. This is only the first day, and you also found food." Yes, the boss is also found. How much did you do last night?"

Xu Rendong smiled, but didn't speak.Until four white lines formed a square on the wall, a wonderful change appeared.The chalk lines corroded the wall like a chemical liquid, and the depressions of the handwriting quickly became gaps.Xu Rendong pushed lightly, and the rectangular wall was pushed open like a door, revealing the unfathomable dark cave behind the wall.

"Wow..." Lian Qiao exclaimed in amazement, "I've seen this kind of design in games, but I didn't expect it to look so good in reality! It has the feeling of fantasy children's literature!"

Just as he stretched his neck to look into the dark cave, Xu Rendong suddenly took out a chicken leg and asked, "Are you hungry?"

Lian Qiao was puzzled: "I'm not hungry."

Xu Rendong: "Oh, then you can eat a chicken drumstick."

A chicken leg was stuffed into Lian Qiao's mouth suddenly, and he looked confused.But under Xu Rendong's earnest gaze, he obediently gnawed off the chicken leg and burped.

Xu Rendong nodded in satisfaction: "Okay, let's go in."

Lian Qiao thought to himself: Today's boss is really strange, he is addicted to feeding all kinds of meat.What kind of hobby is this?

It's puzzling.

Two children, one big and one small, climbed into the cave, and the chalk-drawn stone door was quickly closed behind them.Like a drop of water falling into the lake, the gap in the door quickly merged with the uneven stone wall, and the traces of chalk were nowhere to be found.

Lian Qiao stroked the stone wall and exclaimed, "It's just like a fairy tale..."

Xu Rendong found that Lian Qiao was much more verbose and lively this time than when he came last time.Of course, the last time they came here when all other teammates were dead, of course they couldn't be in a good mood.At this time, Lian Qiao has just started to explore, and has not yet experienced pain and torture. His curiosity about this world is far greater than his fear.He walked into the cave where the monster hid like a child exploring a rockery.

Xu Rendong suddenly developed a strong desire to protect.He held up the kerosene lamp and walked forward, and was about to ask Lian Qiao to follow him, but Lian Qiao suddenly took the kerosene lamp from him and walked in front.

Xu Rendong was taken aback.

Lian Qiao, who was a head taller than him, held up the kerosene lamp, and the warm yellow light dispelled the darkness ahead.His other free hand slightly raised towards Xu Rendong, with the palm facing up, as if waiting for Xu Rendong to put something into his palm.

Xu Rendong: "???" What do you want?

He looked at Lian Qiao's hand, thought for a moment, and put the remaining half of the chalk into Lian Qiao's hand.

Lian Qiao: "???"

He glanced at Xu Rendong in surprise, and then, he did not know what to think, he took a breath and said with a dry smile: "Ahaha, uh, um! Yes, I just want chalk... Brother Liandong, you are so witty! You are so understanding! I just want to see what is so magical about this chalk, how can I build a door with bare hands...Ahahahaha..."

Seeing his exaggerated reaction, Xu Rendong said earnestly: "I'm going to meet the boss soon, I know you're very excited. But you'd better calm down, it's dangerous ahead."

"..." Lian Qiao was speechless for a while, and nodded with a sad expression.
