[Infinite Stream] Destiny Rubik's Cube

Zhou Qi regained a little bit of precious consciousness amid the deafening sound of water. He moved his fingertips, and a steady stream of water droplets hit his face, as if he was under the shower in the shower room.

His body was heavy, his wet eyelashes were heavy, and something heavy was pressing on his chest. He couldn't breathe, and he instinctively raised his hand to push away the heavy weight on his chest.As soon as he touched it, he touched the cool and smooth skin, and then groped up to find the drenched clothing and soft hair. Zhou Qi's hand paused subtly, and he opened his eyes.

The tingling pain from the wound on the back of the head turned into a musical note at the moment of being fully awake, rising to the throat, and then overflowing from the corners of the tightly clenched mouth.

The person in his arms was awakened by a short muffled snort, put his hands on Zhou Qi's chest, and sat up.

Zhou Qi was pressed hard and let out another cry of pain, Xu Chi with a blank face appeared on the blurred retina.

Xu Chi just woke up, his hair was disheveled, his eyes were slack, and his reaction was so slow that it was almost sluggish.He looked at Zhou Qi in confusion, as if he didn't understand why Zhou Qi was screaming.

Zhou Qi's wound was in excruciating pain, and he was unable to explain it. He could only relieve his concentration by observing the surrounding scene.

The sound of rushing water came from a waterfall hanging from nowhere on the cliff behind Xu Chi. The rushing water crashed down and poured into the spacious underground river. The splashed water hit his head, face and body.This seems to be an underground cave inside the inclined island, with a lot of space, but the water level continues to rise.They are located on the precarious rock by the river bank. If this trend continues, if they wake up later, they may be directly drowned in a coma.

In other words, when they wake up, they still have to race against time.

After Zhou Qi judged the situation, he turned his eyes back and focused on Xu Chi's face.

The pain was still floating in my head, less piercing, but everywhere, like a bleak mist.

Looking at Xu Chi at this time was no different from looking at flowers in the fog. The eyes couldn't see them clearly, but they knew they were beautiful in their hearts.

The kind of beauty that can only be seen from a distance.

The water had already risen up, flooding the ears, and the loud noise of the waterfall that hurt the eardrums finally weakened a little through a layer of water.

If you can't share the same quilt in life, it's a good thing to be able to share the same acupuncture point in death.Zhou Qi was in the underground cave at this time, staying with Xu Chi, and the future of life and death was uncertain, and suddenly such a sentence flashed in his mind.

Immediately, the whole body was shocked, and the shock was over, and the eyes dimmed.

There's nothing wrong with him, Zhou Qi, dying in one place or something, but he doesn't know if he will be happy or not.

Mostly I'm afraid...unwilling.

Yes, why?It doesn't seem to make sense in terms of emotion and reason.

Just as he was thinking wildly, Xu Chi came back to his senses, fished him out of the water, pressed his head against his will, looked at the wound on the back of his head very ungently, and said coldly: "The wound is a bit deep, To go out, I have to ask Ren Simiao to get two stitches."

Zhou Qi's forehead was forced to slam on his painful collarbone, a little confused, he nodded mechanically: "Ah."

Xu Chi seemed relieved after seeing the wound, and pushed the person away again, standing up while supporting the slippery stone wall, his movements seemed a little sluggish.

"I don't remember anything after I was knocked unconscious." Zhou Qi got up and shook his drowsy head, "Why did you faint too?"

Xu Chiping's straight shoulders tensed for two seconds, and he replied lightly: "I'm so tired."

Zhou Qi did not suspect him, scratched the tip of his nose, embarrassed: "Swimming is exhausting, but the water was so strong at that time, you still have to take me with you, it's hard work."

Xu Chi didn't make a sound, his eyes slid quickly and shortly across Zhou Qi's lips that were still wet with moisture, the masseter muscle bulging out of his jaw moved, he wanted to say something, but he didn't say it after all.

"What's wrong?" Zhou Qi was keenly aware of his hesitation.

Xu Chi shook his head and pointed to the top of the waterfall: "We passed through the gap in the Grand Canyon and were washed down by the current. Come and see, there are arrows on the stone wall here."

Xu Chi pointed to the wall behind him again, and Zhou Qi leaned over, and sure enough, he found that there were artificially chiseled arrow marks on it.The mark is very deep, and it is expected that a particularly sharp awl ax or the like was used.

The ground is very dark, only some plankton give off a faint light.

In order to see Xu Chi clearly, Zhou Qi had to get very close, and asked, "Let's go?"

With warm breath on his face, Xu Chi frowned, pulled back calmly, and replied, "Let's go."

The two then followed the arrows on the wall and waded forward.

The sea water gradually spread from the ankle to the knee, and Zhou Qi, who was half a step behind, suddenly said in the darkness: "When I just fell into a coma, I seemed to seize the time to have a dream."

Xu Chi wasn't in the mood to chat, but out of politeness, he answered the question: "What dream?"

"It's a mess." Zhou Qi said, "It seems to be in some kind of flower field, it's golden, and there are many butterflies flying around."

The description is quite abstract.

Xu Chi said indifferently.

"One of the butterflies landed on my lips." Zhou Qi said again. He seemed to pinch his mouth with his fingers, which caused slurred speech, but it didn't prevent Xu Chi from understanding. It's all poured into my mouth."

Xu Chi slipped his foot and almost fell into the water.

Zhou Qi hurriedly supported his lower back, his tone tense: "Damn, are you okay? Are you dizzy?"

"It's okay, I stepped on a rock." Xu Chi waved his hand and cleared his throat. The darkness concealed his embarrassment well.

After such an interruption, Zhou Qi didn't continue talking about his dream.

After walking silently for a while, Xu Chi still couldn't hold back and asked, "What happened next?"

Zhou Qi: "What happened later?"

"The butterfly landed on your mouth." Xu Chi reminded, "What's your reaction? Did you wave it away?"

"No." Zhou Qi shrugged and smiled, "Guess what I did?"

"what?"

"I opened my mouth and ate the butterfly! Hahahahaha! I'm such a genius!"

Xu Chi: "..."

Well, to some extent, it is indeed a ghostly adaptation.

Zhou Qi’s confusing behavior in the dream became the only condiment during this boring journey. Bored, he guessed what the taste of a butterfly tastes like raw, and later began to study what kind of cooking method should be used to make it change. It was delicious, and while talking, the two of them felt a surge of hunger at the same time.

Stomach protests echoed in the cave.

Xu Chi, who was so hungry that his eyes were dizzy, had no choice but to end the topic sullenly: "I don't know how the butterflies taste, but human flesh should taste good."

Zhou Qi flinched and shivered, and closed his mouth knowingly.

At this time, the sea water has already reached the lower abdomen.

The two walked to the place where the mark disappeared.

A huge millstone suddenly appeared at the end of the field of vision. The millstone was made of rock, and it was divided into three layers. Each layer was about three meters high.

At this time, the heavy millstone turned, making a dull, short loud noise, "click", and the earth shook.

Zhou Qi and Xu Chi immediately stabilized the wall, and immediately felt that the inclination angle of the ground under his feet had shrunk again.

"It seems that this is the institution we are looking for." Xu Chi made a judgment immediately.

"You mean." Zhou Qi's scalp tightened, "We want to stop such a big thing from turning?"

The two looked at each other, feeling troubled at the same time.

Not to mention that the two of them are now empty-handed, and all their weapons have been swept away by the sea water. Even if they hadn't been swept away, it would be difficult for the two machetes that couldn't hold the table to shake this behemoth.

"Let's go, climb up and have a look first." Zhou Qi rubbed his hands and suggested.

Xu Chi agreed.

The big millstone is about ten meters high, and there are handles where each layer occludes, so it takes no effort to get up.

The two went up to the top, and found the steel turning point that was tightly fitted in the center of the millstone and was slowly rotating.

Zhou Qi stared at the turning plane for a few seconds, then turned his head and climbed down again: "Wait for me."

When he came up again, he tied his coat into a bundle and carried two big stones inside.

He moved the stone out and threw it into the turn.

I only heard a few clicks, the gears of the turning machine were extremely sharp, cutting iron like mud, and directly crushing the stone into powder, the power was so powerful that it made people shiver.

"Hiss—" Zhou Qi sat down on the ground, flexed his fingers and scratched his scalp frantically, "It doesn't work even with stones, what the hell is going on?"

"This turnaround may not be stopped by violence." Xu Chi stood on the edge of the turnaround with his arms folded.

too close.

The sharp gears almost brushed against his toes.

Zhou Qi raised his eyes, scared out of his wits, and shouted sternly: "Xu Jiaojiao, if you don't want to be twisted to pieces, stand back!"

Xu Chi acted as if he had never heard of it, and stood still.

Zhou Qi was annoyed, and wanted to drag him forward: "Why are you so disobedient..."

Just when Zhou Qi's hand was about to touch Xu Chi's arm, Xu Chi suddenly raised his hand, with his palm raised up, palm facing outward, making a gesture of pushing outward.

Zhou Qi then stopped still and gritted his teeth: "Xu Chi..."

"There is one thing I can't figure out." Xu Chi stared at a certain point of the turning point with an extremely focused expression, "Tell me, who left the mark on the wall? Who will lead us here?"

"I don't know." Zhou Qi's full attention was on Xu Chi's feet, and he didn't think about Xu Chi's question at all. "Maybe it's the former indigenous people, or moths."

"I don't think so." Xu Chi pointed at the center of the turning point, "Look there."

"What are you looking at..." Zhou Qi's patience reached its peak, he glanced at the middle of the turning point, caught something out of the corner of his eye, and his movements froze.His eyes slowly turned around, his heartbeat gradually accelerated, and he saw the familiar small metal part clearly—it was the arm of that little doll of Sun Xie.

"This thing...why is it here?" Zhou Qi couldn't help it, "Why Sun Xie..."

Before he could finish his sentence, the ground trembled, and the speed of the flight suddenly accelerated.While swaying, Zhou Qi did not forget to bring back Xu Chi, who was tempted on the verge of death from time to time, and held him in his arms.

The sea water rose at an astonishing speed, submerging the first large millstone in an instant.

"Find it!" Xu Chi pushed Zhou Qi away, "Sun Xie must have left some other clues! Clues that can prevent the turnaround!"

"Damn, if I knew it, I would have brought him down with me!" Zhou Qi ran around on the millstone, "Bring him here, give him a good beating, and make sure he can confess everything."

"Not necessarily." Xu Chi said, "He may have forgotten it long ago."

"What do you mean... Eh? Take a look, I seem to have found it." Zhou Qi lay on the edge of the millstone and looked down.

Xu Chi also leaned over, and saw a striking dark red circle at the joint between the second and third grinding discs.Before they climbed up from the other side, they could not see this mark at all.

Before the sea water came up, the two quickly climbed down to the circle.

"It was drawn with blood." Zhou Qi scratched the circle with his nails, and the dried blood spots fell down.

There is a groove in the circle, Zhou Qi squinted his eyes and looked in, then reached in with one free hand, grabbed the handle of something, and pulled it out forcefully, only to hear a scraping sound—— He actually pulled out a trident made of fine steel.

Zhou Qi was stunned, his face full of expressions of what the hell this is.He looked at Xu Chi, but Xu Chi had a serious expression on his face.

"What's your expression? Do you also think this thing is unreliable?" Zhou Qi asked.

"No." Xu Chi slowed down his expression, "Can't you see it? The material of this trident is exactly the same as that of the turning machine, so it should not be smashed. Take it, whether it can be successful or not depends on this, let's go up. "

"Okay!" After hearing Xu Chi's words, Zhou Qi immediately gained confidence.

Once the trident was pulled out, the big millstone seemed to sense the crisis and turned faster and faster, which inevitably had a serious impact on the climbing speed of the two.

Zhou Qi has good physical strength, so he climbed up first.When he turned around and wanted to give Xu Chi a hand, the vision suddenly appeared!

The big millstone fell to the side quickly!

At that time, he was lying on the edge of the millstone, holding the trident in one hand, and stretched out the other hand to pull Xu Chi. He accidentally flew over the top of Xu Chi's head according to the inertia, and flew out from the surface of the millstone!

The feeling of weightlessness lasted only for a few seconds, and then the body slammed into the stone wall of the millstone, causing all internal organs to be dislocated, and the smell of blood overflowed from the throat.He gritted his teeth and looked up, slightly stunned, and saw Xu Chi's bruised hand tightly clutching his wrist.

"Hold tight, don't let go." When Xu Chi exerted force, veins would pop out around his neck, and the lines were extremely beautiful.

He was still too thin, and with only one arm in the air, he couldn't support Zhou Qi's weight at all.

The tilted large millstone made Zhou Qi unable to reach the stone wall even if he extended his arm and the length of the trident.

Crazy rising waters beneath your feet.

"Zhou Qi..."

Seeming to have a premonition of what Zhou Qi was about to do, Xu Chi asked to stay.

Zhou Qi made up his mind, and grinned at Xu Chi with difficulty: "Hey, call Brother Qi to listen."

Xu Chi's eyes were about to burst, and he shouted out with all his strength: "Zhou Qi, don't be a fucking mess!"

With this roar, Zhou Qi's body was distracted, and Zhou Qi's body dropped suddenly.

Xu Chi shut his mouth and stopped talking, focusing on his hands.

But the sweat on the palm still made Zhou Qi's wrist slip out of his hand little by little.

So much so that Zhou Qi can finally relieve him of the burden with just a little effort.

Before falling, Zhou Qi threw out the trident in his hand with the last bit of strength, only to hear a "duh".

It should be successfully inserted into the grinding disc, right?

If it was Xu Chi, he would be able to successfully stop the turnaround by himself, right?

He is so good after all.

He's so good, he can escape from the Rubik's Cube without me.

Before he fell into the water and the seawater rushed in to seal his five sense organs, Zhou Qi's last thought was: It doesn't matter if you can't live in the same quilt, and you can't die in the same acupuncture point.Even if I'm the only one who dies alone, it's good to know that you're still alive.

The author has something to say:

Question: Zhou Hanhan ate the butterfly, what does that mean?

After finishing the third dungeon, Hanhan was completely bent.
