Death Spiral [Infinite Flow]

anyone?

Who will it be? !

Little Apple's first reaction was surprise: Did other players be teleported together?But after thinking about it, I felt wrong.All other players except them should be dead.Even if someone survived in the wild, why didn't they come to join them for so many days?

What's more, the first snowy night was so cold, not to mention that there were ghosts hiding in the snow, even if there were no ghosts, normal people would not be able to survive the night in the snow!

So, who was eating lunch here just a moment ago?

Little Apple couldn't help but clenched the watermelon knife on his back.Lian Qiao didn't say anything, just bent down and continued to rummage through the construction waste.

Little Apple asked, "What are you still looking for?"

Lian Qiao: "Weapon."

Little Apple was taken aback for a moment, and then remembered that Lian Qiao had already thrown Xu Rendong the crowbar that had been fired.This is the only anti-ghost treasure in the ghost world.

Lian Qiao not only gave up the crowbar, but also threw out all the equipment in the backpack.At the moment, the two of them only have a watermelon knife on them. If they really want to do it, Lian Qiao will suffer a lot.

Little Apple quickly handed out the watermelon knife: "Then give this back to you!" Just kidding, Lian Qiao's fighting power is much stronger than hers, so she will still settle the debt!

As long as Lian Qiao survived, she would have a chance to escape.What's more, if Lian Qiao dies, let alone ghosts, Xu Rendong will have to kill her after school!

Lian Qiao didn't pick it up, and just rummaged through the rubble.Quickly, he grabbed a brick and weighed it in his hand.

"Well, that's it."

Little Apple: "..." Is it really appropriate to knock ghosts with bricks?

After all, Qiao Lian was deliberate. He was not satisfied with one brick—he found several bricks and stuffed them into his coat pocket.

The bricks of that era were solid bricks of conscience, very heavy.Lian Qiao saw that Little Apple was worried, so he generously gave her two pieces, telling her that the bricks are not only easy to hit people, but also can be thrown as a hidden weapon, which is very useful.

Little Apple: "..." I understand the truth, but I really can't lift these two bricks!

Under Little Apple's stern refusal, Lian Qiao had no choice but to stuff the two beautifully shaped bricks back into his pocket, then turned around and walked towards the unfinished building.Little Apple caught up and asked in surprise, "Aren't you tired from walking with so many bricks on your back?"

"It's okay." Even Qiao didn't turn his head. "Recently, I hold the baby every day, and my arms are good. Our precious son is much heavier than this brick."

Little Apple: "...Indeed."

One thing to say, Lian Qiao is quite handsome holding the baby in one hand.

The two entered the unfinished building, seeing darkness in front of them.It is reasonable to say that there should be mobile phone lighting here, but it is a pity that they have been in for so many days, and their mobile phones have long since run out of battery.The flashlight that Lian Qiao brought out was on Honeysuckle again, so now he had to feel in the dark.

Fortunately, the structure of the unfinished building is relatively simple.Once inside, it was a large empty room, with holes in the walls all around, through which a little light came in.

The two narrowed their eyes, and with the little light, they could barely make out the scene in the hall.

I don't know what the building was originally built for.Broken bricks and tiles were scattered on the ground, and there were exposed wires on the wall, and there seemed to be an electric light.Lian Qiao groped for a while on the unpainted wall and found the light switch.I tapped it, but the light didn't come on.

No electricity.

This is also normal.

The wind from the street blows in through the hole in the wall, and it is cool.At this time, the rush hour for work and school has passed, the road has become quiet, and even the wind brings a sense of desertion.Little Apple felt chills on her back, couldn't help rubbing her arms, and complained: "It's too dark here, I can't see anything clearly."

Lian Qiao's voice came from the darkness, clear and calm: "It might be better to go upstairs."

Still going upstairs? !

Little Apple instinctively didn't want to go, but she clearly knew that it was impossible not to go.If you don't go into the tiger's den, you won't catch the tiger's cubs. If there are any key clues hidden in this scene, then the clues will definitely not be lying in the sun waiting for them to find them.

It's useless to be afraid, she decided to come by herself.

Lian Qiao wouldn't cheat her, but she wouldn't protect her like Lian Dong, so she could only be careful and follow Lian Qiao upstairs.

The stairs are very narrow, quite characteristic of that era.There was all sorts of rubbish strewn about on the steps, but it was too dim to see clearly.Little Apple held her breath, and took every step extremely carefully, for fear of making any noise and disturbing the things upstairs.

Lian Qiao didn't know whether it was because of his good night vision or his boldness, but the darkness didn't affect his speed at all.But after a few steps, he will stop and wait for Little Apple.

So, in just a dozen steps, the two walked for several minutes, and finally came to the second floor.

The second floor is better lit than the first, but it's still a large, empty room with nothing special besides construction debris.

Lian Qiao planned to go further up.Little Apple asked in a low voice: "Shall we go to the top?"

"..." For some reason, Lian Qiao didn't reply immediately.

Little Apple waited for his answer in amazement, vaguely feeling that his breathing rate was a little fast.

Not quite right.

"What's wrong with you?" Little Apple whispered, "Did you find anything?"

"...No." Lian Qiao finally spoke, his voice trembling slightly, "...a little pain."

"Pain?" Little Apple was puzzled at first, then panicked, "Back?"

Lian Qiao gave a low "hmm".He took another deep breath, and then said: "It has been in pain for three days. It hurts a little bit now."

Little Apple was shocked.She thought the ghost paw print was just a mark, so it also had a damage effect? !But she couldn't see that even Jo was being patient!

Is it because Xu Rendong is worried?But this kind of thing is life and death, and it is necessary to hide it, it is simply——

Thinking of this, Little Apple was startled again.

No, in fact, what Lian Qiao is thinking, she should know.

Even if Xu Rendong was told about the ghost paw print, so what?What can he do to save Lian Qiao?

It's just adding trouble.

Little Apple felt complicated and didn't know what to say for a while.Lian Qiao didn't care what she was thinking, just walked up without saying a word.

Little Apple raised her head, looked at the faint figure in the darkness, and suddenly felt sore in her heart.

"Hey..." As soon as Little Apple opened her mouth, she felt a wave of palms in front of her eyes.

"Shh! Don't talk yet!" Lian Qiao slapped her mouth, which startled Little Apple so much that she almost fell off the steps.

Lian Qiao's palms were hot and slightly damp with sweat.Little Apple's face became hot, and she couldn't help pursing her lips.Inadvertently, her lips touched Lian Qiao's palm, and she suddenly felt that there were many strange dents in Lian Qiao's palm.

Like... fingernail marks?

Little Apple's heart skipped a beat—is he in such pain?

Has he always endured like this?

Lian Qiao really deserves to be a family with Xu Rendong.He shouldn't be called Lian Qiao, he should be called Xu Rentong.

It's so strange, it's an emergency, but there are many strange thoughts in Little Apple's mind.She couldn't help raising the corners of her mouth and smiling slightly.

Lian Qiao seemed to be wary of something, and didn't notice Little Apple's strangeness.He took two steps down, retreated to Little Apple, and whispered in her ear, "Did you hear... the singing?"

Little Apple was taken aback, and quickly listened intently.With Lian Qiao's reminder, she finally noticed a strange sound coming from above the stairs.

The voice was exactly as Lian Qiao said, like a singing voice.But the melody is extremely strange, sometimes high-pitched, sometimes low-pitched, and the tune drags on for a long time, but often stops abruptly.

The singing is very far away, ethereal and uncertain.The people who sang were probably on the fourth floor, so they couldn't understand the lyrics.The man was also unaware of their arrival.

Little Apple's heartbeat suddenly accelerated.Suppressing her frantic heartbeat, she asked in a low voice, "What should I do?"

Lian Qiao: "Beat him."

Little Apple: "..."

Just do it.Lian Qiao quickly jumped up to the fourth floor, grabbed a brick and threw it at the source of the singing.While smashing it, he shouted: "Form is emptiness! Emptiness is form!" The sudden chanting echoed in the empty and dark building, although it was absurd, it was actually a bit righteous.

Little Apple: "???" Throwing bricks with consecration on the spot?You really don't delay in beating people and ghosts!

The shadow in the darkness also seemed to be stunned for a moment, before being hit by a brick in the head, and fell to the ground with a bang.

Hearing the sound of falling to the ground, Little Apple immediately breathed a sigh of relief.Then I thought again, no!Make up the knife quickly!

She took out a watermelon knife and was about to rush forward, but was stopped by Lian Qiao.

"Don't worry." Lian Qiao said, "He's already fainted."

Little Apple was surprised and said, "Why don't you hurry up to make up the knife if you hit hard and straight?" (Note)

Lian Qiao was helpless: "Why are you in such a hurry to silence? What if he is an NPC who provided clues?"

Little Apple: "You said beat him!"

Lian Qiao: "I said beat him but didn't say kill him. Come on, help me drag him out and see who it is."

The structure of the fourth floor is different from the three floors below, divided into two rooms, one large and one small.The big room leads to the stairs, which is where they rushed up.But the great room was airtight and pitch black.There was a little light in the small room.

So they each dragged an arm and dragged the man into the small room.

As soon as Little Apple touched it, he knew that this guy was a man, and he was quite a burly man.The warm body temperature, rough and soft skin all prove that this is a living person, not a ghost.

Little Apple wondered while dragging the person, why is this person hiding in the dark and singing in the dark, scaring himself?

And when the two of them dragged him to a bright place, they were even more surprised.

This is actually a monk!

Wearing a bright yellow monk robe, with six scars on the top of his head, and a string of sandalwood rosary beads hanging around his neck, he looks like an out-and-out monk!

Little Apple was stunned, and turned to look at Lian Qiao, only to find that Lian Qiao also looked shocked.

"This isn't fucking rock and roll..."

Before he finished speaking, Lian Qiao's face suddenly changed, his fingers clutched his chest tightly, and he squatted on the ground frowning.

Little Apple was shocked.At the same time, a crisp sound was heard, which seemed to be the sound of a glass bottle falling to the ground.She turned around in surprise, and saw a bottle of "XX Soy Milk" rolling away from Lian Qiao's feet on the ground.Not far away, there is a plastic bag on the ground.Inside the plastic bag were two boxes of lunch, unopened and still steaming.

The packaging of the lunch box was exactly the same as the one they saw in the garbage dump downstairs.

Before Little Apple could react, he suddenly heard someone's voice on the stairs.

There are still people? !Is it a friend of the monk?

Little Apple turned pale with shock.At this time, the monk fell to the ground, his head was covered with blood, and his personnel were unknown.Lian Qiao knelt on the ground, clutching his chest, dripping with cold sweat, trembling all over, but three bloody handprints slowly appeared on his back.

And the voice on the stairs was getting closer!There were several people listening to the voice, laughing and talking rudely.

Faintly, there seemed to be another shrill, thin, kitten-like voice. "No, no," he called out.

How to do? !
