Death Spiral [Infinite Flow]

The two supported each other and walked forward in the vast snow.Xu Rendong had already lost his direction, he only felt that there was snow in all directions, and he didn't know where to go next.

Lian Qiao suddenly looked around and asked hesitantly, "Brother Liandong, did you hear anything?"

Xu Rendong's heart sank: "No. What did you hear?"

Lian Qiao's complexion was not very good: "It's a bit like the sound of grinding teeth, creaking..."

Xu Rendong listened intently, and sure enough, amidst the whistling wind, there was a vague and unpleasant sound, like the rubbing sound of the back molars being bitten hard.Lian Qiao narrowed his eyes, trying to find the source of the sound of teeth grinding in the wind and snow.Soon, he opened his eyes wide and pointed behind the two of them: "There!"

Xu Rendong looked back, only to see a black shadow faintly appearing in the snow curtain.It was dark, a mass of twisted black lines that looked like crazy graffiti drawn with black crayon by a child with mental problems.

What's even more frightening is that this pile of black lines is still twisting, approaching here with a terrifying speed!

Xu Rendong made a decisive decision: "Run!" Before he finished speaking, Lian Qiao pulled him up and ran away.

"What is it? Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhly

Xu Rendong couldn't hold back, and also turned his head, his face turned pale with shock.The mosaic-like black shadow had chased them to a distance of more than ten meters, as if grinning, its upper part was split from the middle, revealing two rows of sharp and fine fangs!

If he was bitten by such a big mouth, he might lose half of his body.

The black shadow kept making terrible noises, crunching... crunching... itchy ears.Xu Rendong's heart was beating violently, and he ran forward with all his strength.However, he had been trekking in the snow for too long, and his physical strength was a little exhausted.His chest heaved violently, and the cold wind poured straight into his lungs, stabbing his entire airway like a knife.

"Run, run, Brother Lonicera, I'm so scared!" Even Joe was about to cry.He has excellent physical fitness, and he runs like a cheetah, but he is slowed down by dragging Xu Rendong desperately.

Xu Rendong wanted to say leave me alone and run first, but suddenly he felt the hairs on his back stand on end, and his sense of crisis suddenly increased—the black mosaic had already caught up!

Even Joe probably felt it too. Looking back, he was so frightened that his legs gave way and he fell to his knees, closing his eyes with a "wow".Xu Rendong was startled, the monsters were all in front of him, and he pretended to be an ostrich and didn't dare to look at it. This kind of behavior is tantamount to courting death!

Unexpectedly, Lian Qiao's next move was to take out a crowbar and slam it at Mosaic's lower body!

boom!

Black Mosaic tilted his body, was knocked off balance, and fell into the snow with a plop!

"Ahhhhhh!" Lian Qiao, who was holding a crowbar in his hand, was still closing his eyes and waving wildly, screaming frantically, "Don't kill me, don't kill me!"

Xu Rendong: "..."

Mosaic lying in the snow: "..."

One person and one ghost face each other in a daze.On the contrary, Lian Qiao reacted first, opened his eyes wide to see the situation clearly, jumped up, grabbed Xu Rendong, turned his head and ran again.

Xu Rendong only felt that Lian Qiao was extremely strong, almost dragging him forward.Ordinary people run slower and slower, screaming and losing strength, but Lian Qiao is on the contrary. His screams are like injecting himself with stimulants. He is clearly dragging a Xu Rendong who can't run, but his running speed is not the slightest. reduce.The two long legs fly up, reminiscent of the 360-degree spiral leg movement in cat and mouse.I saw snowflakes splashing all the way behind me, hitting the head of the black mosaic head and face.

Mosaic: "!!!"

After that, the molars were almost worn out, and it was obvious that he was in the anger and aggrieved of "he doesn't like him, but he can't kill him no matter what".

In this situation, Xu Rendong had no time to judge the direction, so he could only keep an eye on the road under his feet, in case he suddenly tripped over a stone and dragged Lian Qiao down.

He ran all the way like this, and after an unknown amount of time, a familiar hut suddenly appeared in front of him.Xu Rendong was taken aback, and subconsciously looked at a certain big tree in front of the door.There is a ladder under the tree, still maintaining the posture Lian Qiao placed.The bird's nest on the top of the tree is also there, where Lian Qiao found the hiding doll.

This is... a hunter's lodge?

They actually ran back? !

Before he could continue to be shocked, Lian Qiao dragged him to the door of the hut, opened the door, entered the room, and locked the door with his backhand. A series of movements were done in one go, as if he had practiced thousands of times.

But after finishing all this, he collapsed on the ground with exhaustion, crying: "Is it safe? Is this a safe house (Note)?"

"..." Xu Rendong could only feel the smell of blood in his mouth, his breathing was violent and he couldn't calm down, and he couldn't speak for a while.He looked out the window, it was still snowing heavily outside the house, and the sky and the earth were completely white, but the black shadow didn't seem to be chasing after him, and he couldn't hear the creaking sound of grinding teeth.

"It should... be safe..." Xu Rendong forced himself to speak with a hoarse voice.Looking out the window, he suddenly felt something was wrong, frowned and said, "There's something in the yard."

He narrowed his eyes, trying to discern.It was a round, off-white shadow, as tall as a person, very inconspicuous in the same off-white snow.But because it was so close to the hut, I could barely make out the outline.

Even Joe was about to cry, trembling and crawling on the ground on all fours, whining: "Where is the crowbar, where is my crowbar..."

...Scared to such an extent that you still want to confront the outsiders head-on, are all of you game streamers so tough?

Xu Rendong stared outside for a while, then said, "It seems...it's a snowman."

Lian Qiao choked, "Huh?"

Xu Rendong said: "It's a snowman."

Lian Qiao calmed down a little, stood up with the help of the wall, looked out of the window, and muttered, "There was no snowman when we left, right?"

Xu Rendong also felt something was wrong, but still nodded: "Well, there was no such snowman before."

The two fell into an eerie silence.All of them went out to explore, so who made this snowman?Why pile up?He didn't believe that someone in the team could still make a snowman at this time.

After a while, Xu Rendong said: "Forget it, let's take a step and take a step. I'll light the fireplace first, and you go and see if anyone else has come back from the house."

Lian Qiao didn't move, just looked at him eagerly.Xu Rendong was puzzled: "What's wrong?"

Lian Qiao whispered: "Brother Liandong, I'm afraid..."

Xu Rendong originally wanted to say that you go together after I light the fire, but Lian Qiao continued, "Where did you put my crowbar just now? I won't be afraid if I have the holy sword."

Xu Rendong was suddenly amused.Lian Qiao is really a collection of contradictions. If he is bold, the screams of ghosts can scare ghosts to death. If he is timid, he is not afraid of anything as long as he has a weapon in his hand. He even dares to kill ghosts. turn over.What an interesting guy.Sui Wen said: "The crowbar is by the door, over there."

Lian Qiao took the crowbar and went upstairs without saying a word.Xu Rendong squatted in front of the fireplace to light a fire, and the crackling sound of the firewood made people feel reassuringly warm.

Not long after, Lian Qiao went downstairs: "No one else has come back yet."

Xu Rendong said: "Then just wait."

The two sat in the living room and waited.About an hour later, there was a banging sound outside the door, and someone shouted: "Open the door! Open the door!" The voice was very familiar, and it belonged to someone in the team.

Lian Qiao opened the door immediately, several people stumbled and ran in, and Lian Qiao quickly locked the door again.

Several people were still in shock, obviously they also encountered something bad in the wind and snow.Xu Rendong poured them some hot milk and asked, "Where are the others?"

A young man named Wang Yuan panicked and said, "I don't know, we got separated from Brother Yuan...something is chasing us!"

Brother Yuan naturally refers to Yuan Xueming.Although he had a compass in his hand, there was a ghost chasing after him, and he probably didn't have time to confirm the direction.We can only hope that after getting rid of the ghost, we can turn around and return to the hut.

In contrast, even Qiao was able to run back with tears and runny nose all the way.And they were the first to arrive, as if they had a map in their hearts.Is Lian Qiao really lucky by mistake, or...

That very uncomfortable feeling rose again in Xu Rendong's heart.He couldn't help but cast a glance at Lian Qiao, and found that Lian Qiao was standing in front of the window, still watching the snowman outside.His expression was a little dignified.

As if aware of something, Lian Qiao suddenly turned around and looked at Xu Rendong in a daze.That look seemed to say: Hey, what do you see me doing?

Xu Rendong looked back a little uncomfortably.But Lian Qiao showed him a smile after he turned his head.

"What did we do wrong?!" A weak female voice with a crying voice suddenly sounded, breaking the tranquility in the hut.

The questioner was Wang Yuan's girlfriend named Jiang Li.At this time, her face was full of tears, trembling all over, and she looked a little out of control: "Which step did we do wrong? Why is that ghost chasing us?"

"Who knows." Xu Rendong said.

Wang Yuan put his arms around her shoulders and comforted her softly.Jiang Li kept sobbing, his emotions had collapsed.

In this weird atmosphere, everyone kept silent tacitly.The wind and snow outside the house were still howling, showing no sign of stopping.Just when everyone thought something happened to Yuan Xueming, the door was finally knocked.Yuan Xueming's hoarse voice came: "Is there anyone inside? Open the door!"

Several people followed Yuan Xueming back.Xu Rendong counted the number of people present, frowned and said, "One is missing."

Yuan Xueming sighed, "It's Zhao Lin. He separated from us shortly after leaving the church."

Everyone communicated, and it turned out that everyone was lost in the snowstorm and was chased by that black monster.Fortunately, the hunter's hut is not too far from the church, and with the compass in Yuan Xueming's hand, everyone finally found the right way.As for Zhao Lin, I'm afraid it's more ominous than good.

Just in case, Xu Rendong asked who made the snowman outside the door.As a result, everyone's complexion became even worse. Xu Hong said in a sharp voice: "Snowman? There are still people making snowmen at this time?! Who is it?!" Her eyes were red, and she stared nervously at everyone, and everyone moved away in silence Eye.

Xu Hong refused to let everyone go, and asked sharply: "Say it quickly! Who made it! Why dare not admit this kind of thing! Say it quickly!"

Apparently, her sanity was also beginning to crumble.Xu Rendong had no choice but to coax: "Maybe the snowman was there before we came, and we didn't pay attention."

Xu Hong reluctantly accepted this statement, but her mood was still bad.She pushed away the food in front of her and said with a sullen face, "I won't eat." Then she went upstairs alone.

The matter of the snowman made the already depressing atmosphere even more heavy.Yuan Xueming reassured: "Everyone has worked hard today. Let's go to bed early after dinner. We have to continue looking for dolls tomorrow. Persevere, everyone, we can leave as long as we finish the task."

The word "Leave" revived hope in everyone's hearts, although this hope was extremely weak.Everyone finished eating the tasteless dry bread with different expressions.After dinner, everyone went back to their rooms one after another.Xu Rendong was about to leave when Lian Qiao suddenly pulled him back: "Brother Liandong, I still care about that snowman. Let's go out and have a look."

Xu Rendong looked at the dark night outside and asked, "Aren't you afraid?"

Lian Qiao clenched the crowbar tightly: "I'm afraid I have to go, I can't sit still and wait for death."

Xu Rendong looked at him, the suspicion in his heart still remained.He wrapped his coat tightly and walked out the door side by side with Lian Qiao.

The snowman is right at the door, and they can definitely see them coming in and out, so Xu Rendong's sentence "we didn't pay attention" is absolutely untenable.It's a pity that everyone was so frightened that they all chose to escape, choosing to believe that untenable lie.

Lights in the cabin illuminated the snowman.The two approached cautiously, with increasingly ugly expressions on their faces.

The snowman is as tall as a person, and his body is made of two snowballs, one big and one small, which are round and very solid.The scary thing is that the snowman's face is full of five senses.Its eyes were a pair of bloodshot eyes, which obviously belonged to real people.The nose is a frozen finger, and the mouth is a crooked piece of intestine, which is stained with blood and cracked brightly red behind the ear, which looks a bit like the expression of a nesting doll.

Could this be the sixth nesting doll?This idea flashed through his mind, but was quickly rejected by Xu Rendong.The first five nesting dolls they found were sorted by size and could be nested one by one.The shape of this snowman is too different, it is absolutely impossible to be one of the nesting dolls.

So what is this?

Lian Qiao stared at the strange face of the snowman: "Is this made from the corpses on the second floor?"

Xu Rendong: "Maybe."

Lian Qiao didn't know what he was thinking.After a while, he shivered, crossed his arms and said, "It's so cold, let's go back first."

The two went back to the house and went upstairs.The others had already closed their doors tightly and had an early rest. At this time, the corridor on the second floor was pitch black, and it seemed that the whistling sound outside the house was getting more and more permeating.The room full of broken bodies happened to be the first room by the stairs.Knowing that Lian Qiao was afraid of the corpse, Xu Rendong deliberately quickened his pace.However, Lian Qiao suddenly stopped, turned his head sideways, and sniffed carefully.

"what?……"

Xu Rendong turned around: "What's wrong?"

"Do you think the smell of blood is gone?" Lian Qiao sniffed again, and quickly found a reasonable explanation for himself, "Could it be that I'm used to this smell?"

Xu Rendong was silent for a moment, took out his mobile phone, turned on the flashlight, took a picture of the room of the dead man, and said, "The blood is gone."

Lian Qiao didn't speak, but the expression on his face changed slightly.The fear in his eyes disappeared, replaced by what could be called excitement.

Xu Rendong held up his mobile phone to illuminate the room.Sure enough, not only the outside of the house, but also all the blood and body parts in the house were gone.The room was as clean as if nothing had happened, and the smell of blood had completely disappeared.

"While we were out, someone came to the hunter's hut? Not only did they build a snowman, but they also cleaned up the corpses?" Xu Rendong thought for a while, and then denied himself, "No, no matter how carefully the cleaning is done, it is impossible that there will be no traces. .At least the blood in the cracks in the floor is impossible to clean up..."

Lian Qiao said, "The corpse has been brushed away."

Xu Rendong: "?"

Lian Qiao's eyes were frighteningly bright in the dark: "It's like fighting monsters in the game. The system will automatically refresh every once in a while to clean up the monster's corpses. Otherwise, the whole world will be full of corpses, and the players will not be able to enjoy themselves." It's a fun game."

Xu Rendong understood what he meant, but felt a little uncomfortable with the phrase "the whole world is full of corpses", and was speechless for a while.

Lian Qiao suddenly said again: "Wait, then this is wrong..." He turned his head and went downstairs, "I'll go out and have a look."
