Death Spiral [Infinite Flow]

Xu Rendong woke up in the elevator.

His shadow was reflected on the familiar silver-white metal body, and the scene repeated countless times became his deepest nightmare like tarsal maggots.

Xu Rendong touched his heart unconsciously.The severe pain of being pierced through the heart by the dagger still remained in his mind, and his scalp was slightly numb, and he couldn't get over it for a while.

"I can't find it..." Lian Qiao muttered softly in his ears, "What is a lock that doesn't need a key..."

Xu Rendong was inexplicably startled, turned his head to the side, and stared at him blankly.

"What's the matter?" Lian Qiao was taken aback by his strange reaction, and looked at him with wide eyes in confusion, "Did you think of anything?"

Xu Rendong looked away and didn't speak.

The scene where Lian Qiao killed him just now was exactly the same as the scene that flashed in his mind at the comic exhibition.

why?

Why did that flashing hallucination really happen?Why didn't even Joe feel sad when he attacked him?

Xu Rendong clearly remembered his last look.It's full of murderous intent and chilling.His soaring hostility seemed to be facing not a lover who was about to lose, but... an enemy.

Maybe Lian Qiao just didn't want him to suffer, so he shot cleanly and ended his life in the fastest way.Perhaps after his death, Lian Qiao would hold his corpse and cry bitterly.Or maybe Lian Qiao just suffered a sudden change, mentally unable to accept such a blow, so that he showed an abnormal reaction...

But...but...

Xu Rendong imagined countless possibilities, but the sense of loss in his heart could not be resolved.

Xu Rendong suddenly remembered what Zhong Xiu had reminded him: Lian Qiao kept many things from him.

Lian Qiao is actually not as innocent and harmless as he appears on the surface.

"Ding", the elevator door opened, interrupting Xu Rendong's thoughts.

Xu Rendong took a deep breath and walked out of the elevator.Lian Qiao followed behind on crutches, looking at his back thoughtfully.

The huge earth building that covers the sky and the moon is once again displayed in front of you.The wind was blowing, and hundreds of red lanterns were hung high, swaying slowly in the night wind, and a ghostly aura floated in the air.

81 players stood in groups of twos and threes on the Xiatang square.The circular pool in the middle of the square is bottomless, and the dark green water exudes a faint fishy smell, which seems to imply that there is something terrible hidden in the pool, and people dare not approach it.

Everyone is still shocked that there are so many players in this dungeon, and the old lady in red with little feet has already appeared on the stage.

After a brief greeting, the old lady led everyone upstairs.One is to visit the earth building, and the other is to allocate rooms.After everyone settled down, the old lady floated away, letting everyone have a good rest.

Rest is impossible to rest.After all, life is in danger at any time, and it is not for tourism.Everyone seized the time to go out and explore.

It is said to be exploration, but it is just running around like a headless chicken.

The ancestral hall on the ninth floor is guarded by an old lady in red, and no one can enter.Although the water pool on the Xiatang square was interesting, but everyone stood by the pool for a while, no one dared to go into the water to find out what happened, so they had to disperse.

As for the kitchen on the second floor, that murloc was agile enough to swallow a living person.If someone ran into it, they would naturally yell.At this time, there was a lot of noise outside, but it was the sound of people going up and down the stairs.As for screaming and crying, I never heard it.

"The sound insulation of this floor is too poor." Lian Qiao pricked up his ears, listening to the footsteps on the stairs not far away, "There are people walking around upstairs in the middle of the night, and they will be killed if they are not scared to death."

Xu Rendong took a shallow sip of tea, sorting out his thoughts in his heart.

Lian Qiao tilted his head to look at him, and asked, "Brother Liandong, when are we going to explore the map?"

"Let's go later." Xu Rendong said, "It's too chaotic outside right now, it's annoying to watch."

Lian Qiao said "Oh".After a while, he couldn't sit still, took his crutches and stood up: "I'll go check and see if they find anything."

Xu Rendong didn't stop him, and he went alone.He was still sitting in his room drinking tea.

More than an hour later, Lian Qiao returned angrily.

"Nothing." Lian Qiao curled his lips, "There are too many people, and you can't see anything when you squeeze together. A large group of people are rumbling, like locusts crossing the border, making a mess everywhere. I thought the old woman would be angry She went crazy, but she didn't respond. Now they are tired of tossing, and the girls are cleaning up the mess."

"That's why I said to go out later." Xu Rendong said lightly, and poured him a cup of tea, "Drink some water."

Lian Qiao drank the tea, turned his head and glanced at the silhouette of the girl on the window.

"These girls look so scary. They seem to have only one expression, which is a particularly creepy smile. But they seem to really come to serve us. I just passed by a room and saw a girl who was washing Feet... I don't know how that person can think of it..."

Xu Rendong listened quietly, responding from time to time.As the night darkened, the surroundings became quieter.Everyone seems to have stopped.

Lian Qiao rubbed his eyes, yawned and asked, "Brother Liandong, why don't we go explore the map? I'm a little sleepy..."

Xu Rendong glanced at the time: "It's still early. Let's sleep for a while."

"Hmm..." Lian Qiao blinked his eyes slowly, lowering his head lower and lower, "Brother Liandong, this dungeon is so difficult...if..."

He seemed to be so sleepy that he couldn't even open his mouth, and the muttering in his mouth became softer and weaker, vaguely intelligible: "...don't...save...uh..."

Xu Rendong removed the teacup in his hand, stretched out his hand, and caught Lian Qiao's crumbling head.

Lian Qiao had already fallen into a deep sleep and let out a uniform "hoo, hoo".He gently rested Lian Qiao's chin on the table, staring at Lian Qiao's sleeping face.

Lian Qiao's sleeping face was slightly childish, his brows and eyes were completely stretched, looking like a defenseless baby.Xu Rendong looked at it for a while, then took out the climbing rope from his backpack, laid Lian Qiao's body flat, and tied him to the bench without loosening or tightening.

Even after being tied up as a roast suckling pig, Lian Qiao still didn't wake up.

Because Xu Rendong put sleeping pills in the tea.

Lian Qiao put the sleeping pills into the backpack with his own hands, just in case.Of course he would never have thought that Xu Rendong would actually drug him.

As soon as Xu Rendong pushed open the door, the maid waiting outside greeted him and bowed to him: "Guest, if you need anything, please tell me."

Xu Rendong suddenly noticed countless gazes.He narrowed his eyes and looked around.I saw more than a dozen beautiful girls standing in the corridor of the earth building, all of whom were kicked out of the guest rooms by everyone.These girls are so beautiful that they are so beautiful that everyone doesn't want to stay in the same room with them.So this row of girls stood in the corridor like sticking candles, when they heard Xu Rendong coming out of the room, they turned their heads in unison.

"guest."

"guest."

"guest."

……

One after another, like a broken tape, came out one after another from the dozen or so mouths.The maids all had slightly stiff smiles on their faces, and more than a dozen pairs of eyeballs were staring straight at this place, anyone would feel horrified.

Goosebumps appeared on Xu Rendong's body, but his face remained calm.He suddenly had an idea, and said to the maid next to him, "What's your name?"

The maid said: "Your maidservant's name is Yuanzhu."

"Okay." Xu Rendong pointed to the dummy-like maids in the corridor, and told Yuanzhu, "Tell them to turn their backs and don't look at me."

The maid bowed slightly and said "yes".However, before she could send a message to everyone, those girls turned around in unison.The movements are uniform, like sunflowers chasing the sun.

It seemed that these maids did obey him, and did not dare to question or disobey him.Just don't know where their bottom line is.

Xu Rendong waved again: "Yuanzhu, come here. Kneel here on all fours."

According to his instructions, Yuan Zhu obediently knelt by the railing.She lowered her head, her bangs drooped, covering half of her face, so she couldn't see her expression.

"Don't move for a while. I will step on your back and climb up." Xu Rendong ordered.

"Okay." Yuan Zhu nodded meekly, and even adjusted her posture a little to make her body more stable.

Xu Rendong raised his foot and lightly stepped on Yuanzhu's back.That obviously belonged to a young girl's back, slender and weak, unable to bear the weight of a grown man at all.But Yuanzhu didn't question his order at all, just because he said so, so she did it.Even if it goes on like this, she will be hurt.

Xu Rendong hesitated for a moment, but finally withdrew his feet.

Even if the opponent is an NPC, he really can't do it.So he said, "Forget it, get up."

Yuanzhu got up from the ground, looking at him shyly and timidly with her slanted fox eyes, which was very cute.

Xu Rendong pointed to the red lantern above her head and said, "Go find a stool, climb up, and help me take this lantern off."

Yuanzhu complied.Soon, the lantern was in Xu Rendong's hands.

As Lian Qiao said before, there is a strangely shaped candle in the lantern.Lian Qiao said it was a ring, but Xu Rendong originally thought it was a hollow cylinder, only then did he realize that it was really a ring.

The white candle ring stood upright on the candlestick, with a small candle burning at the top, which looked extremely fragile after losing the protection of the lampshade.Xu Rendong blew lightly, and the candle went out.

He peeled off the outer candle of the ring.The residual heat of burning remains on the candle, so it is very soft and easy to peel.Soon, white debris fell to the ground, exposing the contents of the candle.

It was a silver ring.There are fine textures engraved on it, like some kind of writing, and it also looks like a totem.The lighting is not good, so I can't see clearly.

Xu Rendong thought it was a bracelet at first, but it didn't look like it from the size.The diameter of this ring is only about half of the ordinary bracelet, let alone a grown man like Xu Rendong, even a girl with slender wrist bones would definitely not be able to wear it.Of course, this will never be the size of the ring.

Xu Rendong looked at it for a while, but really couldn't figure out what it was.

The only certainty is that it protects the wearer from evil influences.

——This candle is so different, it is obvious that it is the key prop.And when everyone was under the control of evil spirits, only Shi Jianchuan and him were not affected.At that time, Shi Jianchuan thought logically that he also carried such props.It can be seen that Shi Jianchuan is immune to control precisely because of this ring on his body.

...but what about him?

He didn't have a ring on his body at that time, why didn't he indulge in sensuality and appetite like Lian Qiao and everyone else?

What is protecting him secretly?

Is it...

Xu Rendong sighed softly.He went back to the room and stuffed the ring into Lian Qiao's pocket.

When they came out again, those maids who were kicked out still turned their backs to Xu Rendong, leaving him with a dreamy and slim back.Xu Rendong knew that soon, everyone would lose their minds and pull these girls into the room to do some beastly things.

He didn't want to think about it, so he turned his head and went upstairs.

Go find Shi Jianchuan.
