Infinite Flow: Becoming a God in a Nightmare Game

Jiang Qi recounted his experiences in the illusion, and Lin Wanchu and Lu Xue were surprised when they heard Chu Qidie's name.

Jiang Qi could tell from their expressions that the illusions they had experienced were different. Lin Wanchu and Lu Xue both said that they had actually experienced similar things, only the people they faced were different.

Furthermore, Lin Wanchu and Lu Xue encountered the same person in the illusion, and based on the character descriptions, it is basically confirmed that they are the same person.

However, upon careful consideration, Jiang Qi realized that his encounter with Chu Qidie was understandable. After all, he was burdened with the hatred of the dungeon monsters and knew so much about her, so it was no exception for the boss to come looking for him.

Unexpectedly, Chu Qidie saved him in the illusion.

Jiang Qi didn't believe that Chu Qidie would let him off so easily just because he had helped her once.

After all, they've become dungeon bosses, not some innocent little heroine. To describe a dungeon boss as kind would be truly foolish.

However, given Lin Wanchu and Lu Xue's situation, it should be the girl inside the illusion who is controlling it.

Fortunately, Lin Wanchu was also careful and learned the girl's name—Xiao Shuang.

No one knows what happened to her in the swimming pool that turned her into a ghost story. In the illusion, it exploits people's innate kindness and gradually amplifies it to kill them.

Jiang Qi then turned his attention to Lu Zhi. Lu Zhi also said that the protagonist of the illusion he experienced was different from his, so it seemed that the illusion he experienced alone was quite special.

For now, we can only get a few minor clues, since the main event is yet to come.

Unbeknownst to Jiang Qi, the air in the swimming pool gradually grew colder, a cold that seeped straight into his bones.

As soon as the temperature started to drop, Jiang Qi reminded the people behind him to stay away from the swimming pool.

Jiang Qi's voice was extremely calm, "Remember to stay close to me, don't get too close to the swimming pool, and whatever you do, don't look into the water, understand?"

The people behind him nodded seriously and followed closely behind Jiang Qi.

Lin Wanchu and Lu Xue also noticed the unusual drop in temperature, and the two shivered from the cold air.

In fact, as soon as the temperature started to drop, Wall's could see many human-shaped shadows in the swimming pool.

They were packed together so tightly that they covered the entire swimming pool.

Because of her frail health since childhood, Lu Xue could only occasionally see ghosts—only ghosts with heavy yin energy or deep resentment, but she could only see a blurry black shadow.

Lu Xue discovered that she couldn't speak up at Teacher Liu's house like last time; if she tried to speak directly, the system would shut her down.

Lu Xue was terrified, but she could only try to find another way to tell them.

Lu Xue could sense the terrifying atmosphere in the pool more directly than others. She felt that the human-shaped black shadow in the pool was staring intently at her, with eyes that seemed to have a physical presence, and the gaze made Lu Xue's scalp tingle.

Lu Xue pressed her body even closer, and Lin Wanchu, who had been paying attention to Lu Xue and the surrounding situation, also hugged Lu Xue tightly when she felt Lu Xue's movements.

Lou Xue had been trying to express the situation in the lake in a way that would be clear to them and would not be covered up.

Since we can't directly say there's a dark shadow in the pool, why not just say that many people died in the swimming pool?

Lu Xue thought this was a feasible method, so she pinched Lin Wanchu's finger. Lin Wanchu immediately tensed up and looked at Lu Xue with concern.

Lu Xue pointed towards the swimming pool, then pointed to her mouth and shook her head.

"Wan Chu, many people have died in this swimming pool."

Lin Wanchu understood, tightened her grip on Lu Xue's hand, and gently patted Lu Xue's back to comfort her.

Lin Wanchu knew the price Lu Xue was paying for the information she was sharing, and she would face the terror before anyone else.

Lin Wanchu stepped forward and repeated to Jiang Qi what Lu Xue had told her verbatim. Jiang Qi nodded to indicate that he understood.

Now everyone was fully aware of the situation in the swimming pool, and they quickened their pace.

The group finally reached the end of the road—the locker room.

The locker room was pitch black, without even the light of the moon, which inexplicably made people feel uneasy.

Jiang Qi gestured to the people behind him, then took a deep breath and pushed open the locker room door.

With a creak, the door slid inward. As soon as the door opened, Jiang Qi heard faint footsteps inside the dressing room, the pattering sounds like heavy footsteps pounding on his heart.

Jiang Qi's alarm bells rang, so he lowered his voice and slowly retreated out the door.

Lin Wanchu and Lu Xue also consciously stepped back, while Lu Zhi's dark eyes simply stared quietly at a certain place in the darkness.

At that moment, all the lockers in the swimming pool were opened, as if to prevent them from escaping the changing room.

In the darkness, they couldn't see the storage cabinets behind them, but they could feel that the room temperature had dropped a little.

It seemed that they had no choice but to go into the changing room, so Jiang Qi gritted his teeth and led Lu Zhi straight into the changing room.

Lin Wanchu and Lu Xue followed them inside, and the door behind them was tightly closed, blocking the only exit for Jiang Qi and the others.

The locker room was too dark; one could easily get lost in the darkness and become separated from their teammates.

Lin Wanchu couldn't help but feel nervous, her senses were heightened, and she could hear faint sounds of people swallowing beside her.

Lin Wanchu thought it was Lu Xue swallowing in fear beside her, so she looked to her side, but there was no one there.

Lin Wanchu broke out in a cold sweat, her fingers trembling as she stiffly turned her head, silently encouraging herself, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid."

Without anyone noticing, the person beside her had vanished. Lin Wanchu couldn't help but worry about Lu Xue's situation; what would happen to someone as timid as her?

At that moment, a drop of unidentified liquid dripped down from above. Lin Wanchu dared not linger and simply kept walking forward.

However, a drop of the liquid dripping from her head landed on Lin Wanchu's face. She quickly wiped it off with her fingers, feeling a sticky sensation on her fingers.

Lin Wanchu glanced at it and realized it wasn't blood, so she breathed a sigh of relief and quickened her pace.

But no matter which way Lin Wanchu went, she felt like she was just going around in circles and couldn't get out of this darkness.

Another sound of swallowing came, but this time it came from above his head, not beside him.

Lin Wanchu couldn't help but look up, her mind screaming that she couldn't look, but to no avail.

Hanging from the ceiling was a distorted ghost with a long, thin tongue sticking out. The liquid dripping from its head was its saliva.

Lin Wanchu's pupils shrank. Oh no, she couldn't make eye contact with ghosts. Was she going to die like this?

Lu Xue's voice seemed to echo in my mind. She said, "Wan Chu, come back soon." Her voice was faint and distant, but I could hear the worry and urgency in it.

Suddenly, Lin Wanchu found herself lying on the floor, while Lu Xue was shaking her body nervously.

Jiang Qi and Lu Zhi were also there, illuminating the area with flashlights.

Not far away, there was a dark, indistinct body lying nearby. When Lu Xue saw that Lin Wanchu had opened her eyes, she hugged her with delight.

Jiang Qi also noticed the situation here. He parted his thin lips slightly, and his voice carried a chill.

"You're under a nightmare again."

This was quite a meaningful remark. Lin Wanchu wasn't annoyed; she just awkwardly got up from the ground.

The thought that she would delay everyone's progress in finding clues made Lin Wanchu hang her head dejectedly.

She didn't want this either. Why do these ghosts and monsters love creating illusions for her so much? What could she do?

Jiang Qi didn't mean to blame her when he said this, but he was just thinking that it would be dangerous if Lin Wanchu were to be possessed by a nightmare when there was no one around.

Lin Wanchu recounted what she had experienced in the nightmare, and then fell silent.

She kept her eyes fixed on Jiang Qi, afraid that he would stop protecting Lu Xue because of this. She also wanted to ask what that dark thing was.

Since he had already dealt with the source of the noise in the locker room, Jiang Qi became unrestrained and chuckled at Lin Wanchu's appearance.

"Don't look at me like that." Jiang Qi raised his chin and pointed to the dark figure. "Look, you were possessed by this thing, but it's been dealt with now."

Seeing his actions, Lin Wanchu understood that Jiang Qi would not abandon them for the time being. Jiang Qi had saved them once again, and then solemnly said thank you.

Jiang Qi didn't say anything more. The most important thing now was to find the exit from the changing room.

Although dealing with this dark and grotesque monster took him some time, he also learned some of the ins and outs of things from it.

After all, when the ghost died, Jiang Qi also saw a memory that didn't belong to him.

In this ghostly memory, Jiang Qi also saw Xiao Shuang, whom Lin Wanchu and the others had mentioned.

The gist of the story is that Xiao Shuang and the ghost had an argument by the pool. He pushed Xiao Shuang into the water and watched helplessly as she struggled and drowned.

However, how he died is unknown. Judging from his blackened appearance, he may have been burned to death.

With Xiao Shuang dying like this, the events that occurred in the illusion can be explained.

However, we still need to find a way out of the changing room. The temperature is getting lower and lower, and if we don't go out soon, we'll either be killed by ghosts or freeze to death.

I don't know if the changing room has a window, but if all else fails, I can escape through the window.

While Lin Wanchu was under the spell, in addition to Jiang Qi fighting the ghosts, Lu Zhi and Lu Xue were also sent to check the situation in the changing room.

The changing room they entered was clearly for girls; during her search, Lu Xue also saw girls' clothes and pants in the lockers.

They also found a highly decomposed corpse in a cabinet, which looked like the dark, grotesque creature's.

They couldn't find any more clues or exits. Since they couldn't find an exit in the entire changing room, they could only check the corpse for clues.

Lu Zhi led the way, with Lin Wanchu and Lu Xue walking in the middle and Jiang Qi at the very back in case of any unforeseen circumstances.

Finally, they found the highly decomposed corpse in a wardrobe, with a few flies swarming on it.

Lu Zhi shone a flashlight on the corpse, while Jiang Qi carefully examined it. Jiang Qi wanted to touch the corpse but then thought it was dirty.

Seeing Jiang Qi's hesitant expression, Lu Zhi knew what he was thinking. He then handed the flashlight to Lin Wanchu and nimbly disappeared into the darkness like a fish.

A few minutes later, Lu Zhi took the clothes he had seen before and handed them to Jiang Qi.

Jiang Qi then wrapped his hands in layers of clothing and began to rummage through the corpse.

Both girls turned their heads away, afraid to look at the scene, lest they throw up and affect the efficiency of their exploration.

Jiang Qi searched through the body, ignoring the stench emanating from it, and finally found a key in the body's tightly clenched hand.

"found it."
