Infinite Flow: Becoming a God in a Nightmare Game
Chapter 33 Strange Death
After a long while, the bride smiled helplessly and said, "Just help me tidy up, thank you."
After Cheng Cuo took the lead, the players all started to help the bride.
While tidying up, Cheng Cuo started chatting with the bride.
Jiang Qi, meanwhile, was eavesdropping nearby, and Lu Zhi, seeing his actions, couldn't help but shake his head and laugh.
I didn't realize my brother was so cute when he was being lazy. I wish I could hide him away and only let me see him.
Cheng Cuozhuang, seemingly casually, inquired about the bride's family situation, occasionally offering words of comfort and advice.
"Hey, today is your big day, and look, he didn't even come to help you."
The woman just gave a wry smile, wiping non-existent sweat from her forehead, "It's okay, my husband still loves me very much."
"He's actually quite good to me, it's just that he's concerned about his image in front of so many people."
"He pursued me for a long time before I agreed to be with him."
Recalling the sweet times of the past, the woman's expression softened, and a sweet smile appeared on her face.
Seeing this, Cheng Cuo quickly praised them and wished them a long and happy marriage.
But then she changed her tone at the end, "However, if you have any questions, you can ask me. But I hope you won't need to ask. I'm a lawyer, you can call me Xiao Cheng."
"Okay, okay, Xiao Cheng, you're a really nice person. But I don't think my husband and I will have any relationship problems."
When Cheng Cuo tried to get more information from the bride, she remained silent or changed the subject.
The useful information obtained was pitifully scarce. Cheng Cuo knew that no matter how good his words were, he couldn't get any more information, so he obediently shut up and quietly packed up.
Before long, the woman's figure disappeared, along with the cleaned-up table and food.
The players gradually relaxed, and the lively scene around them returned to its original dilapidated and quiet state.
It was as if all of this was just a dream they had experienced, which vanished in an instant after the excitement subsided.
The player who had finished eating and drinking at the table seemed unaware of what was about to happen, still looking like he hadn't had enough.
Seeing his behavior, Jiang Qi had no intention of going up to remind him, and Cheng Cuo naturally didn't remind the player either.
After all, even if you remind a dying man, he cannot escape the calamity that is destined for him.
Jiang Qi obtained the information he wanted from Cheng Cuo and then left with Lu Zhi.
The remaining players didn't get enough information either, and the dungeon wouldn't be very safe at night.
So after Cheng Cuo left, all the players couldn't wait to return to their own rooms.
The player was left standing there, dejected and unwilling to leave. The food he had eaten was the best he had ever tasted in his life, and he didn't know if he would be able to eat it again tomorrow.
But now he could only go back to his room; his mind was filled with thoughts of delicious food.
He gradually forgot his role as a player, leaving his viewers in the live stream feeling quite sorry for him.
Everyone thought he had no chance today, so they all left his live stream to watch something more valuable.
The hallway was pitch black, but thankfully the motion-activated lights provided some illumination. With each flash of the lights, all the players safely returned to their lodgings.
When Jiang Qi and Lu Zhi arrived at their residence, it was already 11:30, and there was still half an hour before the curfew began.
Jiang Qi turned on the dim light, instantly dispelling the darkness in the room.
She then told Lu Zhi the clues she had obtained from the landlord, and Lu Zhi nodded to indicate that he understood.
"Brother, could the crazy woman the landlord mentioned be this bride?"
"Bingo, you clearly guessed it and still asked me. Don't you already have the answer in your heart?"
"I just want my brother's approval. Since you're so smart, why don't we guess how many people will die tonight?"
After Lu Zhi finished speaking, his dark eyes stared intently at Jiang Qi, a faint, sly smile appearing on his face.
Upon hearing Lu Zhi's words, Jiang Qi raised an eyebrow, his eyes darkening slightly as he parted his lips and uttered a few words softly.
"I bet two players will die today."
Lu Zhi's eyes suddenly lit up. "I guessed the same thing as you, brother."
Then Lu Zhi placed his hand on Jiang Qi's wrist and casually rubbed it.
Jiang Qi noticed Lu Zhi's little movements, and turned around to press down on his wrist and flip Lu Zhi onto the bed.
Jiang Qi's lips curled up slightly, his right hand continuing to suppress Lu Zhi. "Alright, it's getting late, we should go to sleep."
Lu Zhi let Jiang Qi do as he pleased, and obediently turned into a child, lying down next to Jiang Qi.
Jiang Qi subconsciously let him sleep inside and then ignored him.
Jiang Qi lay on the bed, closed his eyes, and stopped talking.
Lu Zhi could see Jiang Qi's sleeping face with just a turn of his head, and couldn't help but admire his brother's good looks. He also closed his eyes like Jiang Qi.
For a moment, the only sound in the room was the soft breathing of the two people.
The entire residential building remained as quiet as ever, and in the dark stairwell, it seemed as if a pair of eyes were waiting for their prey to appear.
Time quickly reached midnight, and a subtle change occurred on all the floors, but the sleeping players were completely unaware.
Only one room had a faint light, where two female players, Xiao Ning and Liu Xiaoxiao, lived.
Xiao Ning has a habit of taking a shower every night before bed, and she is determined to do so even in dangerous dungeons.
After eating that meal today, I felt extremely unwell, more so than ever before.
Xiao Ning even felt an itchy sensation on his back, and he couldn't help but scratch it to feel a little better.
She thought she had just picked up some bugs on the way here, so she lifted her clothes and asked Liu Xiaoxiao to take a look.
Liu Xiaoxiao carefully examined everything but found no insects or other abnormalities.
Liu Xiaoxiao shook her head, "Xiao Ning, there's nothing on your back."
"Thank you, Xiaoxiao. You go to bed first. I need to take a shower; I'm so itchy."
"Okay." Liu Xiaoxiao was also worried that her companion might be in danger, so she leaned against the bed, hugged the blanket, and stared intently in the direction of the bathroom.
Xiao Ning walked into the bathroom and turned on the shower. The warm water sprayed on her body and brought her a sense of comfort.
However, this was still not enough to relieve the itching on her back, so Xiao Ning rinsed it with water while scratching it with her hands.
His back was gradually torn to a bloody mess from being scratched, and the clear water flowing from his body turned into red blood.
But Xiao Ning was completely unaware; her hands didn't stop, and she kept unconsciously murmuring, "It's so itchy, so itchy."
The water gradually became hotter and hotter, and Xiao Ning's skin turned bright red all over.
At this moment, many strands of hair slowly emerged from the showerhead, gradually enveloping Xiao Ning.
By the time Xiao Ning realized she wanted to call her companion's name, it was too late; hair had gone deep into her mouth, silencing her cries for help.
Xiao Ning tried to break free, lying on the ground struggling to crawl towards the bathroom door. Her hair tightened more and more, and Xiao Ning was strangled to death in the bathroom.
Xiao Ning's face was bruised and purple, and her entire body was wrapped in jet-black hair, making her look like a silkworm cocoon.
Liu Xiaoxiao, who was guarding the bed, had fallen asleep and slowly closed her eyes. Naturally, she was unaware that her companion had died in the bathroom.
In the same room downstairs, the male player lay on the bed feeling hungry, while his companion slept soundly beside him.
Without thinking twice, he climbed out of bed, wanting to find the delicious food he had eaten that day.
He vaguely smelled a fragrance, the same fragrance he had smelled at the dinner table earlier that day.
He sniffed around carefully, found the source of the fragrance, his eyes lit up, and a greedy look appeared on his face.
The aroma was coming from outside the door. In order not to wake his companions and make them fight over the food, he had no choice but to tiptoe towards the door.
In the blink of an eye, he was outside. It was pitch black outside, but he wasn't afraid at all; he kept swallowing hard.
Soon, he was about to enjoy the delicious food. He quickened his pace and walked deeper into the road until he reached the end of the path and saw the delicious food laid out on the ground.
He then began to wolf down the food without regard for his image, but unfortunately, the food was limited and was quickly devoured.
But I was still very hungry, and then my eyes couldn't help but fall on my hands.
In his eyes, his own hands had become delicious food, and he took a bite out of his hands, tearing at the flesh and bones.
He felt no pain at all; instead, a happy smile appeared on his face. Soon, his hands were gnawed down to the bones.
After the meat on his hands was eaten, it was time to eat the meat on his legs. The only sound in the quiet stairwell was the sound of him chewing.
Soon, he devoured all the remaining flesh on his body, leaving only a bloody skeleton and the player's head on the ground.
The player's eyes were still full of unfinished business, and his mouth was covered in his own blood. He was still unconsciously chewing with his mouth wide open.
Finally, the residential building fell silent again, and nothing else unusual happened.
The deaths of these two players terrified the viewers who had been diligently watching the live stream. Two players died on the very first day, and in such a bizarre and painful way that it sent a chill down their spines.
The other players' rooms remained quiet and nothing unusual happened, and all the remaining players, except for the two who died, passed through the first night without incident.
The next morning, as the sun rose above the horizon, the sky was tinged with a pale pink.
Sunlight shone through the thin clouds onto the residential buildings, bathing them in a golden glow. The air was filled with the smell of old buildings mixed with a faint fishy odor, which made people feel uneasy.
Jiang Qi and Lu Zhi had just finished getting ready when the first scream rang out.
Jiang Qi drooped his eyelids, yawned calmly and slowly, stretched his long arms, and strolled towards the door.
"It seems we've found a dead player. Let's go down and take a look."
"Okay, brother."
Because the screams were coming from downstairs, Jiang Qi and Lu Zhi quickly found the room of the dead player.
They were the first players to arrive here. Jiang Qi glanced at the door number—301. The door was ajar, and he could hear the girl crying in terror.
When Jiang Qi pushed open the door, he saw a female player slumped on the ground, covering her face and crying, her body trembling slightly.
Upon closer inspection, a corpse was found completely wrapped in long black hair, its face contorted and bluish-purple, clearly indicating death by suffocation.
Liu Xiaoxiao was startled by the noise behind her, and then slowly turned around to look at them.
Upon discovering that the other player was the same as her, she stood up with her hands together and headed straight for Jiang Qi and the other person.
Liu Xiaoxiao was not trying to attack them, but rather seeking their protection.
They simply cannot imagine the feeling of waking up to find their companion gone, only to discover upon opening the bathroom door that their companion is dead.
Liu Xiaoxiao held Jiang Qi's hand tightly, as if Jiang Qi was her last lifeline.
Jiang Qi couldn't break free, and the second player to arrive was naturally Cheng Cuo.
Seeing this scene, he understood what had happened, so Cheng Cuo immediately went forward and used a lot of effort to separate them, and finally managed to calm Liu Xiaoxiao down after much persuasion.
Liu Xiaoxiao's emotions were not as agitated as at the beginning, but she still couldn't hide the fear in her eyes.
A few minutes later, the remaining players also arrived late, and one of the male players turned pale when he saw the situation.
He silently raised his hand from among the players, speaking haltingly, "I woke up this morning and found my companion wasn't in the room either. Could he... be dead too?"
Cheng Cuo counted the number of players and found that one player was indeed missing. It was the same player who had been enjoying a hearty meal at the dinner table yesterday. In the dungeon, when a player disappears, they are considered dead.
Jiang Qi leaned against the bathroom wall and silently looked at the corpse. Since she had suffocated to death from being entangled in hair, then that hair was absolutely not to be touched.
I don't know how this player triggered the death mechanism, and the other player who died was the one from yesterday. We'll see if we can find his body later.
A cold hand rested on Jiang Qi's shoulder; it was Lu Zhi. "Brother, what are you thinking about?"
Jiang Qi shook his head and didn't say anything, but simply redeemed a lighter from the system shop.
I don't know if physical methods will work, but you can't just touch their hair with your bare hands.
Jiang Qi did not hesitate to set his hair on fire, and soon the entire corpse was submerged in flames.
The players present watched Jiang Qi's actions in surprise, while Cheng Cuo stared at Jiang Qi with a meaningful look. Lu Zhi, who was next to him, saw his gaze and silently blocked Jiang Qi's figure.
Jiang Qi watched the hair burn silently, and whether it was his imagination or not, he vaguely heard a woman's piercing scream.
