Infinite Flow: Becoming a God in a Nightmare Game

Chapter 58 The Landlord's Wish

In the blink of an eye, Jiang Qi had treated Lu Zhi's wounds.

The blood-soaked clothes had been completely removed, and the clean fabric had been torn off and used as gauze to wrap Lu Zhi's wounds.

Lu Zhi was wearing Jiang Qi's coat.

The coat still retained Jiang Qi's warmth, mixed with a faint scent of cedar.

Jiang Qi was left wearing only a thin long-sleeved shirt, and the outline of his collarbone was faintly visible under his fair skin.

Lu Zhi, of course, wouldn't let this opportunity pass by, and immediately got up to cover Jiang Qi's collar a little more.

Only a few minutes had passed, but the other two felt as if an eternity had gone by.

The man lying on the ground seemed to have resigned himself to his fate, remaining motionless like a dead dog.

When they saw Jiang Qi and Lu Zhi appear, Cheng Cuo and Wu Yu both breathed a sigh of relief.

Jiang Qi has returned to his normal appearance, and the oppressive and violent aura around him has subsided.

But Lu Zhi, who was beside him, seemed to be in a particularly good mood.

When they saw the other two besides Jiang Qi, they would still keep a wary eye on them.

Jiang Qi said coldly, "The situation is obvious now. If you want to leave here, go straight to the fifth floor."

"If you want to explore other places, I won't force you."

Actually, with the entire dungeon development to this point, leaving the dungeon is just one final step away.

However, they haven't found as many clues as Jiang Qi and Lu Zhi, so they have no choice but to obey.

Cheng Cuo never expected that he, the number one on the Nightmare Newcomer Ranking, would be carried by a newbie in a dungeon for the first time. How frustrating!

Then, the long-headed monster slowly emerged from the darkness.

Because it was afraid of dying, before the four dead men could even ask about the specifics, it blurted out everything it knew.

The general situation was similar to Jiang Qi's deduction.

What it told us was what it saw and heard in this residential building during its lifetime.

However, it doesn't know how this alternate dimension was formed.

All it remembers is that it arrived here the moment it opened its eyes, and then it encountered the man who hadn't gone on a killing spree in the other dimension.

Fortunately, it had been involved in the same corrupt practices as the man before it died, so the man didn't initially intend to kill it.

Now, besides it and the man, there's only an old man on the fifth floor left in this building.

It knew a little about the man and his wife's affairs, but it didn't dare to meddle.

All four understood that the long-headed ghost was still hiding some important information.

Jiang Qi didn't ask about the contents of the letter. Why would the long-headed ghost tell him on his own initiative?

They need to wait for the right opportunity; now they need to go check out the fifth floor.

The four of them had the long-headed ghost lead them to the old man's residence on the fifth floor.

They stopped paying attention to the men; the axe was still in Jiang Qi's hands.

Even if it dared not make a rash move, Jiang Qi could still handle it.

On the fifth floor, the old man—in an instant, all four of them thought of one person—the landlord!

Upon reaching the fifth floor, Jiang Qi was the first to push open the swaying door.

Dust billowed up from inside, hitting them in the face and making the four of them cough.

Jiang Qi coughed and fanned away the dust with his hand. In the center of the room, there was a lone wooden recliner.

It swayed and rocked, as if someone were taking a leisurely rest.

However, when the dust settled, all that remained lying in the chair was a skeleton.

Jiang Qi moved closer and could smell an indescribable stench.

His empty, black-rimmed eyes stared at the four strangers who entered his home.

He's been here for so long that he can't even remember why he's here.

However, he vaguely remembered that his youngest son was still waiting for him to come home.

For the first time, he experienced the vitality and energy of young people up close.

He's already very old and frail; he probably won't live much longer.

He slowly moved his withered, white fingers and gently grasped the young man closest to him.

Jiang Qi frowned as he looked at the dusty finger. Even though he was only holding it lightly, the bare bone of the hand was digging into his hand and hurt.

He couldn't break free, and a sense of sadness welled up inside him for no apparent reason.

The skeleton opened its mouth, wanting to say a complete sentence, only to realize that it had long since turned into a skeleton, and how could it speak from its empty mouth?

Then, he pointed his left finger directly towards the bedside table.

Upon seeing this, Cheng Cuo went straight to the bedside table, not daring to miss any small clue.

I opened the cabinet, and there lay a notebook inside, quietly.

The notebook cover was almost completely worn out.

It wasn't covered in a speck of dust, indicating that the owner looked at it every day and cherished it greatly.

As Cheng Cuo turned back and handed the notebook to Jiang Qi, a photograph slipped out of it.

The old photo shows a young man holding a child, smiling broadly.

Jiang Qi caught the photo with lightning speed, and then, as if remembering something, pointed it at the empty eye socket.

He knew he could see the photo.

In an instant, the entire skeleton trembled.

Upon seeing this, Jiang Qi gently placed the photo into the skeleton's left hand.

With her free hand, she picked up the diary again, selected the pages with the most worn edges and deep creases, and read them aloud softly.

Jiang Qi's tone softened, and suddenly some memories surfaced in Bai Gu's mind—memories he had tried so hard to recall but couldn't quite grasp.

Before him flashed a series of memories, like a revolving lantern before his death, and he smiled happily.

Before me, the skeleton began to change, starting from the head.

The hand bones slowly loosened, and soon the entire skeleton turned into a pile of fine ash, disappearing from before the four people's eyes.

[Ding dong, congratulations to player Jiang Qi for fulfilling the landlord's wish, reward 100 points.]
