Death Spiral [Infinite Flow]

Xu Rendong made a decisive decision, returned to his apartment, and went straight to the balcony.

In the apartment building they rented, the balconies of the two adjacent houses have the same orientation, but they are separated by a distance of about two meters.Xu Rendong came to the balcony and looked around.There is nothing between the two balconies, nor any fence to climb.If you want to get to Lian Qiao's balcony, you can only jump over here.

Without thinking twice, he climbed onto the fence of his house.The guardrail is more than half a meter high, but it's nothing compared to the height of the apartment's six-story building.Xu Rendong resisted the urge to look down, but still instinctively felt dizzy.

He collected himself, took a deep breath, and when he was about to jump, he suddenly heard a loud roar.

"Hey! What are you doing!"

The sound came from downstairs.

Xu Rendong glanced at it instinctively, and his scalp went numb immediately.Too high, six floors is really too high.There is no shelter between the two balconies. If you fall, you will hit the ground directly, and you will definitely be smashed to pieces!

At this time, on the lawn downstairs, an old man walking his dog was waving at him vigorously, and shouted anxiously: "Hey! What are you doing! Come down quickly! Don't be impulsive!"

Xu Rendong accepted the uncle's kindness, adjusted his breathing again, and tried to return his attention to the opposite balcony.

No more time to waste.Lian Qiao may have had an accident... If he had passed earlier, he might still be saved!

Jump!

Xu Rendong gritted his teeth, kicked back hard, and jumped into the air.

At that moment, he felt that the wind passing by his ears became icy cold, making his bones tremble.The time is stretched out like a piece of gum candy, and the scene in front of me is like a movie in slow motion, skipping frame by frame.

balcony.balcony.balcony.

He tried to lean forward.He flew to the highest point.He's still within striking distance of the guardrail.

balcony.balcony.

He begins to fall.

The cold wind penetrated into his collar, the blood in his whole body seemed to be frozen, and even his heart forgot to beat.

balcony.

He reached out desperately, trying to grab the guardrail.But the guardrails were receding from him.

I'm going to fall.will die.

Ah, I forgot, this is not a ghost world, this is reality.If you die, you are really dead.It won't be revived again.That's good too, don't have to suffer anymore.And falling from such a high place, people must be smashed into meatloaf.It must be quick and painless.

How long will it take for a six-story building to free fall?

一层楼是3米，六层楼是18米。匀速直线运动的距离公式是1/2gt^2，那么时间应该是……

3.6 Open the square root.

Can't figure it out, need a calculator.

Xu Rendong even wanted to laugh for a moment.But in the next moment, he suddenly thought: Ah, I haven't eaten the watermelon yet.

What a pity, I originally wanted to be with Lian Qiao...

"...!" By the time he reacted, his fingers had already grabbed a small piece of raised wall under the balcony.

This is a spontaneous reflex action of the body.Xu Rendong didn't even think about what happened just now, he just felt that his fingers were tense, and his joints exhausted all their strength, tightly grasping that bump.He raised his head in confusion, and saw that his hands had begun to turn slightly white from excessive exertion.

There were screams downstairs, and it seemed that more and more people had gathered.

A belated sense of dread dug into his heels like a sharp knife.Xu Rendong found that his legs were empty, without any support, and he suddenly felt very insecure—of course, it was not safe to hang the whole person on the wall of a six-story building.He has no time to think about anything now, he just wants to leave this place as soon as possible.So he kicked his feet on the wall a few times, trying to lift his body up.

However, things backfired.Ordinary leather shoes couldn't provide enough friction at all, and his body slid down instead.

"what!"

"be careful!"

There was a surge of voices downstairs, as if someone had called 110.

Xu Rendong's heart was beating with all his strength, he felt his palms were sweating, and there would be no survival if he dragged on.Gritting his teeth, he decided to fight to the death.So push your feet hard again, and at the same time press down with your left hand, and stretch your right hand toward the column fence above.

caught!

There was another exclamation from downstairs.Xu Rendong ignored the noises, used both hands and feet, and finally climbed up to the balcony smoothly.

When he came to Lian Qiao's balcony, he felt that his bones were about to fall apart, and the joints of his fingers were even hot with pain.He couldn't care so much, he just wanted to confirm Lian Qiao's safety.

But when he wanted to open the balcony door, he saw an unexpected scene through the transparent floor-to-ceiling glass door.

——Lian Qiao was standing in the living room, with his back to the balcony.

He has a violin in his hand.

The middle of the violin is hollowed out, and the style is very unique.Lian Qiao was wearing earphones, holding the piano in one hand and the bow in the other.The bow pressed against the strings, producing a low and melodious tone.Even Joe's bow movements are graceful and smooth like a dancer's.

Xu Rendong stood outside the glass door, watching Lian Qiao immersed in his own world, he was dazed for a moment.

From this angle, you can't see Lian Qiao's expression, but you can see his body swaying slightly with the melody, as if he himself has become a part of the violin, playing with himself.When the music reached its climax, the rhythm became faster and faster, the changing notes flowed from his fingertips, and the bow swayed up and down with a passionate gesture.Even at such a long distance, Xu Rendong could feel every inch of Lian Qiao's tense nerves and every inch of trembling skin.He has become one with the sound of the piano.

Finally, a piece of music is over.

The slender bow hangs by the side, and the violin on the shoulder is also taken off.Lian Qiao carefully put the piano on the table, stretched his waist greatly, and relaxed his whole posture.

Xu Rendong suddenly felt very embarrassed.What is he doing?The high-altitude long jump is only for peeping at other people's piano practice?

Isn't this... a stalker?

He took two steps back, looking around subconsciously, trying to hide.However, the balcony was clean, and even the drying rack was empty, so he really couldn't hide.The only way is to jump back again.

Just as Xu Rendong raised his leg to step over the fence, there was a sudden crash behind him.The glass door was pulled open.

"Huh?! Nin...Brother Liandong?" Lian Qiao's eyes widened, his face full of disbelief, "Why are you here?"

Xu Rendong felt his scalp go numb, he was too embarrassed to turn his head.

People can't think well when they are extremely embarrassed, so Xu Rendong chose to make trouble without hesitation: "Why didn't you answer my phone?"

Lian Qiao was taken aback: "Huh?" He quickly took out his mobile phone and said in surprise, "Did you call me? I'm sorry I didn't hear..."

Hearing Lian Qiao's apology, Xu Rendong suddenly felt that he was justified and confident again.He turned around and said reproachfully, "I couldn't hear the door knocking. I thought something had happened to you. You know how much I—"

He was inexplicably terrified, he didn't want to say the word "worried", so he frowned deeper, and accused him more severely: "Do you know how angry I am! I thought that this effort to train newcomers was another It's going to be wasted!"

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry! I'm practicing the piano live, and I can't hear it with headphones... Ah!" Lian Qiao suddenly remembered something, turned and ran into the house, "I'll turn off the live broadcast first!"

Seeing that he ran away, Xu Rendong breathed a sigh of relief, and shouted to Lian Qiao: "It's fine, it's fine. You can continue the live broadcast." After speaking, he habitually started turning over the balcony again.

"Hey?" Lian Qiao ran out and saw that Xu Rendong had stepped out of the balcony with one leg, he couldn't help being shocked, "What the hell are you doing! Come down quickly!" He rushed forward and hugged Xu Rendong waist, dragged him back, gasped in shock, "What are you doing!"

Xu Rendong said coldly: "Go home."

Lian Qiao pointed at the door: "You go home and walk through the door! What are you doing climbing the balcony?!"

"..." Xu Liandong was silent for a moment, feeling so embarrassed that his teeth itched.He couldn't speak, so he could only walk towards the door with his head dull.

Lian Qiao seemed to have sensed something and chased after him: "Wait, Brother Lonicera..."

His answer was a loud "Bang!"

Lian Qiao was almost slapped on the nose by him, and was so frightened that he took several steps back.It's an amazing experience to have a closed door in your own home.He scratched his head, feeling that everything that happened just now was too sudden, and he still didn't quite understand the situation.

Taking out his phone again, he confirmed the message Xu Rendong sent him again.Two hours ago, I said I bought watermelon and asked him if he wanted to eat it.Half an hour ago, I asked him if he was at home.Then there is the application for voice calls.

The next step was probably to knock on his door, but no one answered, so I thought something happened to him, right?

Lian Qiao's heart suddenly sweetened, and the corners of his mouth could not help but rise.

So he was so worried about me...

Hey hey, hey hey hey hey hey.

Lian Qiao happily strolled onto the balcony, and was about to close the glass door when suddenly his heart moved.When he came to the edge of the fence, he found that the downstairs was noisy, many people were watching, and some people pointed at it.He came to the side of Xu Rendong's house again, and found that there was nothing between the two balconies, and the straight tube below went all the way to the end.He felt his legs go weak just by looking down on the balcony.

But Xu Rendong actually jumped over from the opposite side.

Is he not dead? !

After the initial joy, Lian Qiao quickly frowned.

Even if you can't knock on the door, you can still knock on the door and call 110 to call the police.Do normal people jump directly from the balcony?

Humans instinctively protect themselves in the face of danger.For example, standing at such a high position and looking down, people will have weak legs, urgent urination, and feel that they are about to fall, so they reflexively back away.This is the physiological mechanism of the brain's self-protection.

Therefore, Xu Rendong's behavior of jumping on the balcony at the slightest disagreement, in addition to "worrying about him", also revealed another news.

Xu Rendong has become accustomed to the threat of death, and his body no longer reflexively avoids danger.

...What has he been through?

Lian Qiao suddenly felt a suffocating heartache.He only knew that Xu Rendong had cleared many dungeons, but he had never realized so deeply that every time he cleared the level, he escaped from death by a narrow margin, causing both physical and psychological harm.

Everything he has experienced has changed him unconsciously.

He wasn't even afraid of dying.

No wonder he can rush up to fight the boss in the dungeon without hesitation, no wonder he will pull out the stone directly when his leg is injured... Lian Qiao subconsciously walked to the door, wanting to ask Xu Rendong.He didn't know what to ask, he just wanted to see him and talk to him.

However, as soon as he put his hand on the doorknob, there was a knock on the door.

Lian Qiao opened the door and was surprised to find that Xu Rendong was standing at the door of his house, holding half a watermelon in each hand.The flesh of the melon is red, sweet at first glance, and glistening with water.

Xu Rendong has recovered his calm.He said as usual: "I can't eat it, so I'll give you half of it."

Lian Qiao was suddenly stuffed with half a watermelon, his hands were ice-cold, and the unique refreshing aroma of watermelon wafted into his nose.His heart suddenly softened into a puddle of water, and there were circles of tenderness in his eyes.

"Brother Honeysuckle..."

Before the words fell, there was a rush of footsteps on the stairs.

A team of people's police rushed up to the sixth floor and quickly surrounded the two.One of them, who looked like the captain, took a step forward and stared at the two of them with a stinking expression.

"The one who jumped off the balcony just now is yours, right? Tell me, did you jump off a building or rob a room?"

Xu Rendong & Lian Qiao: "..."

The captain glanced at the watermelons in the hands of the two men, and snorted coldly: "Don't eat the melons yet. Come on, come back to the police station with us to make a record!"
