Death Spiral [Infinite Flow]

The exhibition ended successfully, but Xu Rendong couldn't help thinking of the scene of Lian Qiao killing him.He didn't know what was wrong with him, was it the cranky thinking caused by too much anxiety, or did something really happen between him and Lian Qiao?

By the way, when he was in the world of Matryoshka, he doubted Lian Qiao from the very beginning.Even Joe can find all the nesting dolls accurately every time, as if he has read the script.At that time, he convinced himself that "Lian Qiao is good at playing games", but now that he thinks about it, it is still unreasonable.

After all, who would treat this kind of thing as a game right from the start?This is a terrifying world where people can die.

What is even more doubtful is the two states that Lian Qiao switches back and forth when facing ghosts.For a while, he hiccups and trembles when he is frightened, and for a while he can pick up a crowbar and fight the ghost head-on.The two states are completely different, just like fine points.

And even if there is a ghost chasing after him, even with his eyes closed, he can accurately find the right path in the snow, and he can even trip the ghost with his backhand.Maybe his so-called fear is also faking, otherwise how could he not take a wrong step?

All in all, there are too many doubtful things about Lian Qiao.

However, at the very beginning, it was Xu Rendong who rescued Lian Qiao himself.If he didn't make a move, Lian Qiao would have died tragically under the hammer of Sledgehammer.

He didn't think Lian Qiao should be grateful to him for this, so he wouldn't do something to betray him.he just...

how to say?The little bird that I hold out from the bird's nest with my own hands always has feelings.Even if the bird turned around and pecked at him, he was not willing to throw the bird to death.

...But what if what he rescued was not a bird, but a frozen snake?

Recalling the murderous look in Lian Qiao's eyes when he held the dagger in his hand, Xu Rendong couldn't help feeling chills from the bottom of his heart.

In the end how to do?

The contradictory mood lasted for a long time, and Xu Rendong still had no answer in his heart.So these days, he has unconsciously avoided Lian Qiao and stayed in the company to work overtime as much as possible.In the eyes of colleagues in the office, Xu Rendong suddenly turned back to that iceberg.Not to mention ordering milk tea together, he even brought lunch to the stairwell alone, so that everyone began to look at Liu Jiaqi suspiciously, wondering if something happened between them.

Liu Jiaqi: I am not!I don't!

Soon it was Friday again, there was nothing to do at hand, and colleagues were chattering about where to spend the weekend.Xu Rendong felt that he could not integrate into this atmosphere, so he returned home early.

When I got home, it was extremely hot.He opened all the windows, loosened his tie and sat on the sofa with his eyes closed.The cicadas chirped loudly in summer, hoarse and tireless, Xu Rendong leaned on the sofa and gradually fell asleep.When he woke up, it was still light outside.He checked the time, it was six o'clock in the afternoon, only twenty or ten minutes had passed since he sat down at home.

Did you only sleep for 10 minutes?Thought it had been so long...

Xu Rendong felt energetic, he stood up and moved around, suddenly felt something was wrong.

It was so quiet, there was no sound at all.Where is the cicada?

The strong uneasiness was like a heavy hammer, hitting his heart hard.His heart was pounding until he walked to the window, looked out, and was finally sure his fears had come true.

On the road, the traffic and traffic are all still.

People still have the same expressions from the moment before time stopped, whether they are laughing or annoyed, but they are all still like specimens nailed to death by tacks.The more lifelike their expressions are, the weirder they appear in this quiet world, as if everyone is a model of a dummy, and it seems that the dummy will all move in the next second.

Xu Rendong heard his own breathing gradually becoming rapid.He turned around slowly, and finally he was still in the corner of the living room, reluctantly seeing the silver-white elevator.

Didn't you say that the next time will be in a month?how……

Oh, one month has come.

Lian Qiao had reminded him a few days ago that it was time to prepare for the dungeon.But he did not immediately respond.He hasn't figured out how to face Lian Qiao, so this matter is put on hold.

At this time, the elevator actually appeared in front of him, and Xu Rendong suddenly panicked—what should I do if Lian Qiao is not around?

He wasn't worried that he wouldn't be able to pass the test without Lian Qiao.For him, as long as he dies a few more times, he can always find a way out.But what about Lian Qiao? !

Xu Rendong immediately ran to the door and tried to turn the doorknob, but the doorknob was like a fake plastic toy and couldn't be turned no matter what.He took out his mobile phone again and wanted to call Lian Qiao, but soon found out in despair that there was no signal on the mobile phone.

what to do?Lian Qiao couldn't enter the same world as him, Lian Qiao might die there!

Although he doubted Lian Qiao, he never thought of Lian Qiao's death!

At this moment, the panic in Xu Rendong's heart has been replaced by regret, he blamed himself extremely, and beat his own anti-theft door hard.There was a crisp bang on the door, obviously it wasn't the sound of the anti-theft door itself, but the invisible air wall.The air wall has completely isolated him from the outside world. He can't get out, and even Joe can't get in.

Time has stood still and he is imprisoned here.The only thing he can do is step into his own elevator.

He has no way to interfere with Lian Qiao's world.

Xu Rendong took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.Now that things have happened, he can only hope that Yu Lianqiao will fight for himself and survive in the world over there.

Xu Rendong walked up to the elevator almost numbly, reached out and pressed the button.The silver-white button lit up, and soon, the elevator made a "ding" sound, and the silver-white metal door opened in front of him.

Just as he was about to step into the elevator, the corner of his eye suddenly caught a backpack under the coffee table.

Wait, that's—

Xu Rendong immediately retracted his legs, turned his head and ran towards the coffee table.It was a large mountaineering bag, which was bulging, but not heavy.

That was the backpack Lian Qiao had prepared for him.

Xu Rendong opened the zipper with a slam, and saw that it was full of food, including dry food, snacks, water, and even a small bottle of Laoganma.In another compartment, there is a Swiss army knife, a flashlight, and the brass key of unknown purpose, and...

Lamia's eyeballs!

Xu Rendong stretched out his hand to feel around in the compartment, but in the end he only touched this one eyeball.He finally felt relieved: This means that the other eyeball is with Lian Qiao, and they can contact each other!

Xu Rendong immediately equipped the eyeballs.After a short period of discomfort, the vision of both eyes immediately split into two sides.On one side was the living room of his apartment, but on the other side it was so dark that he couldn't see anything clearly.

"Lian Qiao?" Xu Rendong tried to call out, but there was no response.

He hesitated for a moment, then packed his backpack and walked into the elevator.The elevator door closed behind, and the elevator started running quickly, making a slight vibration.

The black field of vision of the left eye flickered, and soon, an identical silver-white elevator appeared.

"Lian Qiao!" Xu Rendong was overjoyed.The fact that the eyeballs didn't respond just now was because time stood still.Before he stepped into the elevator, the time here stopped flowing, so Lian Qiao in the outside world was also static to him.And once they enter the world of ghosts, they enter the same time again.

The field of vision of the left eye rotates, as if observing the elevator.Xu Rendong waited patiently for a while, but Lian Qiao still didn't speak.He felt very strange, and tried to call out a few more times, but Lian Qiao remained silent.

Xu Rendong had a bad thought in his heart.Before he could verify his guess, a mountaineering bag entered the left field of vision.Lian Qiao opened the zipper of the mountaineering bag, took out the mobile phone from inside, and quickly typed a line of words on the screen with his fingers.

"Brother Honeysuckle, luckily you brought a backpack! Can you hear me?"

Xu Rendong's heart sank, thinking that it was so.He sighed, took out his mobile phone, typed and answered: "I can't hear you."

Lian Qiao: "It's over, as expected, we can only share vision." There is also a frustrated emoji behind it.

When Xu Rendong saw that emoji, Lian Qiao's dejected appearance vividly appeared in front of his eyes.His mood suddenly improved a little.

Through Lamia's eyeballs, the time axes of the two ghost worlds can be connected together. If so, once the time on his side is reset, even the time on Joe's side will also be reset.

Xu Rendong gradually regained his sanity.He calmed down, raised his head, and saw five words appear out of thin air in front of him:

"Butterflies in the stomach."

That's the tip for this time.

At the same time, he saw the reminder from Lian Qiao's side: skeleton in the cupboard.

Skeletons in the cupboard?What does it mean?

Xu Rendong felt his left field of vision shake, and Lian Qiao seemed very excited, typing on the phone quickly with his fingers: "Skeleton in the cabinet! I know this! It's an article in the third volume of New Concept!"

Xu Rendong: "?"

Lian Qiao: "It's about a seemingly normal family, but there is a skeleton hidden in the cabinet. This is a British idiom, and its extended meaning is 'unknown family scandal'."

Lian Qiao opened an encyclopedia app on his phone and began to search for "butterflies in the stomach".Soon, the search results appeared in front of Xu Rendong.

There are butterflies in one's stomach: It refers to the flapping wings of a butterfly in the stomach, describing a continuous feeling of fear, tension, and anxiety. The usage is similar to the Chinese "up and down" and "uneasy".It can also describe the feeling of rapid heartbeat when the heart is pounding, which is the same as "little deer bumping wildly".

After reading this explanation, the two fell into silence at the same time.

Although the skeleton in the cabinet on Lian Qiao's side sounds terrible, from a sensory point of view, the "butterfly in the stomach" on Xu Rendong's side is more uncomfortable.Just by looking at these words, I can imagine the feeling of a butterfly fluttering its wings in the stomach and stirring up the gastric juice. Xu Rendong even felt his stomach itch, as if a butterfly was about to come out of his throat.

At the same time, the metal door in front of him made a "ding" sound.The door opened.

Outside the door is a gloomy alley, the ground is full of garbage, black dirty water flows out of the garbage bags, flies are flying around, and the stench is overwhelming.Above the head is a gray sky, very gloomy, which makes people feel depressed.

In the field of vision on the left, Lian Qiao is facing a gorgeous retro Gothic castle.The castle stands on the edge of the wilderness, with the cliff behind it.Below the cliff is the sea, the dark gray sea roars and slaps on the cliff, and the whole castle looks crumbling.

In this way, neither side is much better off.

Even so, there must be progress.Xu Rendong took a deep breath and typed two words: "Let's go."

The field of vision on the left suddenly shakes up and down rapidly.

The field of view of the left and right eyes is different, and this split feeling further exacerbates the vertigo.Xu Rendong was so dizzy from the shaking that he almost vomited out.He quickly realized that it was Lian Qiao nodding.

So he chose the fastest way to tell Lian Qiao: He also nodded vigorously.

Two seconds later, the field of vision of the left eye turned to the ground.Immediately afterwards, a cloud of vomit appeared on the ground.

Xu Rendong: "..." Why did you already vomit.

In the next second, a palm appeared in the left eye, quickly zooming in, covering the field of vision.The left eye went black.

Xu Rendong: "..."

Lian Qiao is really considerate.

The author has something to say:

In the last chapter, many people asked why Lian Qiao’s imagination was penetrated

Because the honeysuckle is behind him, it is impossible for him to imagine himself 360 degrees spiraling back and wearing the honeysuckle hahahahahahahahaha

Also, the author is really good at being locked.
