Death Spiral [Infinite Flow]

Just after dawn, Xu Rendong was woken up by screams.

He's used to getting up this way - obviously someone's dead and found, so someone's screaming.

As for the dead, there is no shortage in this world.Used to it.

Lian Qiao was tied up with a climbing rope all night, his whole body was sore, and he almost knelt on the ground when he got out of bed.Leaning on crutches with one hand, and hooking Xu Rendong's shoulders with the other, he simply washed up.The two went out to see what happened.

As soon as they went out, the two of them were taken aback.I saw more than a dozen young girls standing in the corridor, their faces were still smeared with the satisfaction of having sex, but their bodies were dressed in sackcloth and filial piety, and they changed into white filial piety at some point.

There are more than a dozen rooms in the central hall, only the maids in Xu Rendong's room are still wearing their original clothes.The other rooms were quiet, the doors were closed, only the filial maid stood at the door.They heard Xu Rendong's sound of opening the door, and they all looked here in unison.More than a dozen faces showed weird smiles at the same time, which made people shudder.

Lian Qiao gasped: "Damn it, it's so scary."

Xu Rendong comforted: "Actually, it's okay now, it's even scarier to watch at night."

Lian Qiao: "..." Didn't get comforted!

The screams came from upstairs.Lian Qiao has limited mobility and struggles to go up and down the stairs.So when the two came upstairs, there were already a dozen people gathered there.

A girl was sitting at the door of the room crying, and everyone around her looked very ugly.

Shi Jianchuan was also among them, only he was still smiling, leaning on the railing, looking sluggish and boneless.

Xu Rendong stepped forward and asked, "What's wrong?"

Shi Jianchuan: "He's dead."

Xu Rendong pushed away the crowd, wanting to see the corpse.When he approached the door, he saw two pale corpses lying on the bed with no clothes on. He was taken aback and retreated subconsciously.Shi Jianchuan smiled behind him: "Why, have you never seen a naked corpse?"

Xu Rendong frowned, not wanting to talk to him.Lian Qiao came over and asked softly, "Is this Shi Jianchuan?"

Xu Rendong nodded.Lian Qiao said: "No wonder. Among this group of people, he looks the most annoying."

The girl in the center of the crowd was crying hoarsely, and the others were whispering about something.Xu Rendong vaguely heard the words "sale" and "price", and felt strange, so he went to inquire.Only then did I know that the deceased were two veterans, and the girl was a newcomer, who paid a lot of money to let them protect her.Unexpectedly, the two of them died first.

In fact, far more than these two people died last night.Along the way just now, there were one or two corpses in the room where the girls in sackcloth and filial piety were standing.In other words, all those who could not resist the temptation died.

It seems that Lian Qiao guessed right, this is the condition of death.Xu Rendong estimated that at least sixty people died last night.This number startled him.

Leaning on crutches, Lian Qiao struggled to squeeze into the room to examine the corpse.Not long after, he came back limping with a very strange expression on his face.

Xu Rendong asked: "What do you see?"

Lian Qiao hesitated: "A pair of women..."

Xu Rendong was taken aback, but didn't understand.

Lian Qiao looked a little embarrassed, she came over to her ear, and whispered: "Those two girls are players, I don't know why, anyway, they also... er, and then died. Probably a couple like us... ..."

Xu Rendong opened his eyes wide in astonishment, deeply shocked inside.After a while, he came back to it and said "oh", not knowing what to say.

The two were silent for a long time.The girl at the door was crying so hard that her voice was hoarse, and no one came up to comfort her.Everyone's face was very gloomy.After all, sixty people died at once last night, so one can imagine how difficult this dungeon is.Whether I can survive tonight is still unknown, who has the leisure to comfort a stranger at this moment.

After Xu Rendong overcame his psychological barrier, he also went in to check the corpse.Sure enough, as Lian Qiao said, the two young women were hugging each other, and some indescribable traces remained on their bodies, but their skin had turned into the characteristic blue-gray color of dead corpses, and there were corpse spots in some places. Come has been dead for hours.

There was no trauma on the body, and there was no trace of blood around it, so no specific cause of death could be seen.

"It is estimated that he died suddenly." Lian Qiao said.

Xu Rendong agreed.

"As for the conditions of death, it was sex last night. I thought it was forbidden to slap a maid, but now it seems that it is not okay to slap my little friend." Lian Qiao stuck out his tongue, "Fortunately, we held back."

Xu Rendong coughed in embarrassment, turned around and said to everyone: "This is the end of the matter, everyone should not gather here anymore. Let's take advantage of the dawn to explore this earthen building."

Almost all of these people who survived were old players, and they had no objection to Xu Rendong's proposal.The crying girl finally stopped sobbing, and when she heard Xu Rendong's words, she turned her eyes to him, her eyes full of pleading.

Xu Rendong understood what she meant, but at this time Lian Qiao was injured, it was not easy for him to protect Lian Qiao, let alone bring a newcomer.So he could only turn his face away to avoid the girl's eyes.Seeing this, the girl knew that there was no way out, so she couldn't help feeling sad, and began to cry again.

Xu Rendong couldn't bear it, Lian Qiao suddenly said, "Where's Shi Jianchuan?"

Xu Rendong was immediately distracted.He looked around, but he did not see the lazy man in the black Tang suit.I asked a few people around, and they all said they didn't pay attention to him.

It's strange to say that Shi Jianchuan's appearance and behavior are so strange, so logically speaking, it should be very attractive.But he melted into the sea like a drop of water, and disappeared without a sound.Not only did everyone not notice where he went, but they didn't even remember whether he had been there or not.

Lian Qiao showed a thoughtful expression, but didn't say anything, just let Xu Rendong accompany him to explore the earth building.

It was midnight when they got out of the elevator last night, and the whole tulou was hung with red lanterns, like a gloomy ghost brothel.At this time, the sky was bright, and the bright sunlight shone in from the middle, directly into the circular pool on the ground.At this time, the pool water is green and transparent, and there are green algae floating in the water, which are dense and luxuriant.From time to time, fish came out of the water, so it looked somewhat alive, not as gloomy as last night.

The two started from the first floor and went up layer by layer.The structure of each floor of this earth building is almost the same, with more than a dozen rooms in a circle, and a red lantern is hung every few steps in the corridor.Those maids in sackcloth and filial piety were still standing in front of the guest room, and when someone passed by, these bewitching girls would salute them with a smile.

Everyone knew that behind them, there were corpses inside the closed door.Therefore, everyone quickened their pace and did not want to stay too much in front of the house.

Even Qiao was actually apprehensive, but he couldn't walk fast, so he simply observed the earthen building carefully.

Xu Rendong picked a few rooms where people had died, and went in to check them out.Like the pair of girls, the dead were all naked and died without dignity.As for the guest room itself, it is similar to the one that Xu Rendong and the others lived in.

So the two focused their exploration on the ninth floor.

The people living on this floor also died in sevens and eighties. Apart from Shi Jianchuan, there were two survivors.These two are girls, and they lived alone in a room last night.Although they also felt hot and unbearable last night, they finally held back.

Lian Qiao sighed: "At this time, the physiological advantages of women are reflected..."

Xu Rendong was both helpless and funny.What Lian Qiao said was not serious, but quite reasonable.Almost all of the twenty survivors are women.There are only a handful of four or five men.It can be seen that in this kind of thing, women's tolerance is indeed stronger than that of men.

The two chatted casually, but their eyes wandered around, looking for possible clues.After a while, he came to the front of the ancestral hall again.

Xu Rendong wanted to go in last night, but was dissuaded by the old lady with little feet.At this time, the door of the ancestral hall is still open, and standing at the door, you can see the memorial tablets on the Changchang incense table.It was almost noon at this time, and it was supposed to be the time when the sun was at its peak, but the ancestral hall was still dim, with no light coming in, all thanks to the lighting from the few candles on the incense table.

It is absolutely impossible to see what is going on inside from the outside.It's just that I didn't see the old lady with little feet, so I don't know if she is still there.

The two stood at the door and looked at each other.Xu Rendong said: "Try again?"

Lian Qiao nodded and raised his leg to step in.Xu Rendong stopped him: "You wait for me at the door and help me watch the wind."

Lian Qiao hesitated.He looked down at the crutch in his hand, but didn't insist much, just said: "Then be careful."

"Ah."

Xu Rendong took out a crowbar from his bag, held it tightly in his hand, and raised his leg across the threshold.

As soon as I entered, the feeling of darkness and oppression was like a blanket, pressing down heavily.There was an indescribable smell in the air, like the incense candles were moldy, and while the candle was burning, the mold was scorched.It feels very uncomfortable.

This time, the old lady did not jump out of the darkness again.Xu Rendong didn't dare to turn on the flashlight, for fear of disturbing something else.He could only cautiously look around the interior of the ancestral hall by the flickering candlelight on the incense table.

There are no windows in the entire ancestral hall, and there are no other entrances and exits except for the door behind it.No wonder it was so dark in here, no light from outside could come in.There were several scrolls hanging on the surrounding walls, Xu Rendong squinted his eyes to look, and vaguely saw portraits of men in Ming and Qing costumes, probably portraits of Tulou ancestors.

On the incense table, incense candles and fruits are enshrined, and there is also a tripod incense burner with three sandalwood sticks on it.The candle flame flickered, illuminating the memorial tablet on the case.Xu Rendong took a closer look, but was a little surprised.

It turns out that there are five floors of this incense case, and dozens of memorial tablets are enshrined!Xu Rendong quickly counted and found that there were exactly nine or eighty-one tablets, and his heart skipped a beat.He hurriedly read the tablet from the beginning to the end, but fortunately, he and Lian Qiao's names were not found in it.

Among the 81 tablets, there are no names of Ishi Jianchuan and others, and it seems that they were not set up for players like them.Xu Rendong took a closer look, and felt something was wrong.

The order of the tablets... seems to be messed up?

It stands to reason that the person at the top of the incense table should be the ancestor with the highest generation.But that person's name appeared on a certain tablet in the row below, and it said the son of so-and-so.It is obviously against the rules for the son's tablet to be placed higher than that of Lao Tzu.

There are many more mistakes like this.Xu Rendong intuitively felt that there was a mystery in it, so he started to adjust the positions of the two tablets at hand.As soon as his fingers touched the tablet, he felt a chill on his fingertips, his hairs stood on end in shock, and he withdrew his hand instantly.

Lian Qiao asked at the door: "What's the matter? Are you all right?"

Xu Rendong clenched the crowbar tightly, looked around vigilantly, and didn't notice anything unusual.Moved a finger, and it didn't hurt.Then he made a sound to reassure Lian Qiao.

But when he touched the tablet again, he still felt the cold attack.It seems that there is indeed a problem with this card, but it will not cause substantial harm to him for a while.

That being the case, let's do it.

Xu Rendong immediately started to adjust the order of the tablets.
