Death Spiral [Infinite Flow]

After leaving the work station for nearly an hour, Xu Rendong decided to go back first.

When he came to the boiler room, he knelt down and carefully examined the soot at the door.The coal ash still maintains its original appearance, and there are no traces of trampling.It appears that the medical students did not leave the boiler room during this time.

Xu Rendong pushed the door open and went in. Sure enough, the medical student was still sitting on the ground and memorizing.

"Ginseng tastes sweet and nourishes vital energy, quenches thirst, promotes body fluids, regulates nutrition and health. Astragalus is warm in nature, absorbs sweat and solidifies the surface, and it can stimulate sores to generate muscle and qi deficiency. Atractylodes rhizome is sweet and warm, strengthens the spleen and stomach, relieves diarrhea and dehumidification and eliminates phlegm. Poria cocos has a light taste and expells dampness Sharpen the orifice, whiten the phlegm and saliva redly flow through the waterway..."

He is much more proficient than he was at the beginning, and it seems that he is really serious about endorsing the book.

Xu Rendong felt that it was better not to bother him.He came to the operating table and started working pretendingly, but he was sorting out the clues he had so far in his heart.

When he was in danger just now, both he and Zhang Xiaoxiao felt nervous and nauseous.Zhang Xiaoxiao was more serious than him, spitting out live moths directly.But the reminder clearly said "butterfly", why is there a moth here?this is a problem.

Also, Doctor Bird's Beak and the foreman seem to be opposites, and the bird's beak is not as powerful as the foreman, otherwise he would not have escaped.Xu Rendong originally thought that the foreman was the boss in this dungeon, and the death conditions were also related to the foreman, but now a second force appeared, which made him confused.

He always felt that the most crucial mystery in this dungeon hadn't been solved yet, but he had no clue what it was.But today is still rewarding, at least got the key to the factory director's office, Zhang Xiaoxiao also survived.

At night, medical students are still reading by candlelight.Different from last time, Zhang Xiaoxiao also slept in the same room with them this time.After what happened today, Zhang Xiaoxiao's dependence on the gentleman has been transferred to Xu Rendong.After all, the gentleman has turned into coke and soaked in the lava pool, and she can't rely on it even if she wants to.

Lian Qiao put on Lamia's eyeballs again, he had already cleared the level, and sat alone in front of the elevator, wanting to go out together after Xu Rendong cleared the level.

"It turns out that the reminder this time is not as simple as I thought. The reminder is a skeleton in the cupboard. We did find a skeleton in the cupboard. But the skeleton here also implies another thing, which is the skeletonkey, the skeleton key, and It means the master key. In the end, we used a finger bone of the skeleton as a key to open the secret room in the castle, and then we completed the complete set of puzzles..."

"I didn't think of this at all, and I didn't pay attention to that finger bone. Fortunately, a middle school student who was taking a new concept in the team knew this trick. We checked the cupboard carefully, and then found that the skeleton's finger bones could be It can be used as a key. Thinking about it this way, this dungeon is actually quite difficult, if no one knows the allusion, it is impossible for us to pass the level."

"Brother Liandong, where are you? Did you find any clues later?"

Xu Rendong talked about the situation during the day.Shortly after he returned to the boiler room the foreman came on his second patrol.The foreman was wounded and had a stinky expression on his face, but he didn't mention the beak.The beak doctor never appeared again, and it was like this until the end of get off work.When everyone returned to the dormitory, they learned that only Xu Rendong and Zhang Xiaoxiao left their workstations to explore the factory.And another middle-aged man who tried to be absent from work was caught by the foreman as soon as he walked out of the workshop, and was whipped to death.The others didn't dare to come out after watching the torture, so they didn't get any useful information, let alone the existence of Dr. Bird's Beak.

Xu Rendong said: "So I plan to go there again at night."

Lian Qiao: "I agree. You have more pig teammates this time, so it's not burdensome to go alone. Big brother, you can do it, I believe in you."

Xu Rendong thought to himself: Don't call me a boss anymore, it's embarrassing.

Deep night fell over the industrial town.Xu Rendong waited for everyone to fall asleep, and left the dormitory quietly.

It was close to two o'clock in the morning, and there were no street lights in the town. Fortunately, the moon was big and round tonight, illuminating the road in front of us.I am used to the bright lights in the city, walking on this moonlit dirt road at this time, there is quite a sense of tranquility back to nature.

When Xu Rendong looked up at the moon, he found that there was also a moon in the field of vision of his left eye.At this moment, Lian Qiao was also looking up at the moon.Xu Rendong suddenly had an illusion, as if Lian Qiao was beside him, looking up at the same sky with him.

When you come to the edge of the town, you can see a huge shadow from a distance, which is a factory in the dark.In the guard room at the gate of the factory, a bearded man was dozing off.Xu Rendong bent over, quietly walked past the guard room, walked into the factory alone, and closed the factory gate smoothly.

The lava surged in the lava pool, and the orange-red fiery light illuminated the entire central area.Xu Rendong felt warm on his face, and this feeling dispelled the uneasiness of walking alone at night.Still, he walked very carefully.The factory in the middle of the night is very quiet, so quiet that only the sound of my own slight footsteps can be heard.Not long after, he came to the factory director's room on the fourth floor, holding a steel rod picked up on the road, took a deep breath, and opened the door of the factory director's room with the key.

Contrary to imagination, nothing in the factory director's room rushed out to attack him.Xu Rendong shielded himself with a steel rod in one hand, raised a flashlight in the other, and cautiously entered the factory director's room.

The decoration of this room is obviously more luxurious than those offices outside. The furniture is all solid wood, and the wallpaper is painted with dark patterns.Facing the door is a set of leather desks and chairs, with a stack of drawings spread out on the desk and a few documents beside it.I don't know if the master left too hastily, the lid of the ink bottle was not closed, and there was still a quill in it.

Xu Rendong walked behind the table, his eyes lit up immediately.It turned out that what was spread out on the table was the floor plan of the entire factory.He turned to the part of the underground area and found that the underground area was indeed as he expected. The terrain was very complicated and it was like a maze.There are many dead ends inside, and some places are marked with strange symbols.

Lian Qiao said: "Did you see the escape sign? In the deepest part of the maze, it should be where the elevator is."

Xu Rendong nodded slightly.Pick up the quill in the ink bottle, start from the end of the maze, and draw the route to the beginning of the maze.He took a picture of the map with his mobile phone and saved it, and then began to investigate the folder on the side.

Inside the folder was a stack of employee information, and the first page was the brutal foreman with all his muscles.In the photo, his eyes were fierce, and the sense of bloodthirsty violence almost rushed out of the photo.On the side, the foreman's name, age, and work history were recorded in handwritten cursive.Xu Rendong briefly read it, turned to the next page, and then froze.

On the second page, it was actually that bird beak doctor!

The difference from the previous page is that a big cross was drawn with red paint on the photo of Dr. Bird's Beak.The writing part also seemed to be blurred, as if the ink had been smeared, and it was impossible to make out what was originally written.

The whole face of the person in the photo is hidden behind the beak mask, and the black goggles are bottomless, like two black holes, which makes people feel flustered.Xu Rendong suddenly felt a creepy feeling, as if he was not the only one in the factory director's room.He suddenly looked up and looked around, and couldn't help but clenched the steel rod tightly in his hand.

Lian Qiao: "What's wrong? Did you hear anything?"

Xu Rendong sighed: "No, I was too nervous."

Continue to look through the file, and the next few pages are all joint puppets in the workshop.He was surprised to find that these puppets had different names, and even their gender and family status were clearly written, and none of them were repeated.It's obviously a dummy, but it looks like a living person.Xu Rendong recalled how those joint puppets were working numbly in the workshop, and couldn't help but feel a chill.

It is worth noting that there is a line of words marked in capital letters at the bottom of the information of each joint doll. The translation is: seventeen hours of working time and seven hours of rest time.Because the work is too hard, they must not be disturbed during the rest time.

This seemed to be some kind of reminder, Xu Rendong remembered it in his heart.

Flipping back, the remaining paper is almost blank, but there is a different symbol in the middle of each page.Xu Rendong looked familiar, Lian Qiao suddenly said: "Map marks!"

Xu Rendong suddenly realized, took a look at the map, and sure enough, all the symbols that appeared in the underground maze appeared here.

Lian Qiao: "...So this is the monster illustrated book."

Xu Rendong: "What do you mean?"

Lian Qiao: "That is to say, you haven't encountered those monsters in the maze yet, so the illustrated book is blank. When you see them, their information will appear in the illustrated book."

Xu Rendong thought for a while, turned back to the page of Dr. Bird's Beak, and looked at the red cross on the photo.

Joe Lian: "This fork may mean 'dead'."

Killed by the foreman?

Xu Rendong pondered: "I always feel that something is wrong."

Lian Qiao: "Huh?"

Xu Rendong has too many mysteries in his heart.For example, who was the one who unknowingly killed him in the dormitory for the first time?For example, what kind of taboo did the gentleman violate, and he would be thrown into the lava by Dr. Bird's Beak?

Unfortunately, these issues have not been verified.Xu Rendong could only sigh, and return his attention to the blueprint in front of him.

He estimated the distance from the entrance to the end of the maze. Even if he successfully avoided the unknown monsters on the road, it would be impossible to go back and forth within an hour.So he typed on his mobile phone: "I'm going underground now."

Lian Qiao: "Okay. Let me show you the way."

Xu Rendong put the folder into the backpack, held the steel rod, and walked cautiously towards the underground area.When passing by the lava pool on the first floor, he subconsciously glanced into the lava pool.The flames were burning inside, and even though they were so far away, the heat waves that hit their faces made their cheeks burn.

The scene of the gentleman falling into the lava pool and turning into charcoal is vivid, and the strange face of the beak and the big scissors also appear before the eyes, awakening a certain indescribable sense of fear.

He withdrew his gaze, suppressed the faint uneasiness in his heart, and walked quickly towards the underground entrance.

Therefore, he didn't notice that behind him, the factory gate that he had closed with his own hands had opened a crack at some point.
