Death Spiral [Infinite Flow]

Chapter 24: matr

When everyone heard the sound, they rushed to the hidden room. Sure enough, the elevator door was open, and the button also emitted a warm, faint white light.

Xu Rendong asked: "What did you do?"

Even Joe held up his hands to show his innocence: "I didn't do anything! As soon as I came in I saw the button was lit, and I pressed it...other than that what I really was Didn't do it!"

Xu Rendong and Yuan Xueming looked at each other and seemed to be thinking about what was going on.

Is the sudden opening of the elevator a real way out, or is it another trap? In this world, reasoning and guesswork alone are useless. That means someone has to be the guinea pig.

Everyone understood this, so they all kept silent. At this time, it is only one step away from escaping, who wants to capsize in the gutter?

Xu Rendong felt that the elevator was very likely to be safe, but he could not find a suitable reason to convince everyone that it seemed that he was the only one to be the guinea pig.

"Then I..." As soon as Xu Rendong spoke, Yuan Xueming interrupted him:

"I'll try it."

Xu Rendong was taken aback. Yuan Xueming has a complicated experience, and his attitude towards him has always been neither an enemy nor a friend, making him unpredictable. At this time, he would take the initiative to ask to take the risk instead of him?

"Brother Yuan, do you really want to do this?" "You are so great!" "Brother Yuan, you are a man!"

Everyone was moved by his righteous deeds and praised him, but no one offered to accompany him in.

Yuan Xueming probably knows what these people are thinking. Therefore, for everyone's flattery, he didn't answer, just smiled, and then walked to Xu Rendong: "If the elevator really works, this may be the last time we talk. Xu Rendong, if you didn't lie, it really is An old player who's been through it six times...then I admire you a lot."

Xu Rendong was a little puzzled: "Admiration?" As far as this reincarnation is concerned, he doesn't think he has done anything worthy of admiration.

"You are very strong. You could have left us and escaped alone, but then we would have to die. Thank you for coming back to save us." After passing the crowd celebrating each other, "You should have seen it too, the weak always think that it is fair for the able to work harder. You helped them once, and they don't want to repay you, but hope that you will help forever... But That's injustice. So I'm thankful to you, having been through so much, and willing to help us weaklings."

We underdogs…

These words made Xu Rendong's heart surge. Although Yuan Xueming is a seriously ill patient who relies on machines to maintain his life in the real world, and is powerless to his own life and death, he has always been a kind and reliable big brother in the ghost world. Despite the criticism, he always does what he thinks he should do. Xu Rendong felt that the word "weak" was inappropriate for him.

However, Yuan Xueming frankly admitted his weakness, and said such grateful words, which made Xu Rendong begin to respect him from the heart.

"Take care." Xu Rendong said, "Goodbye by fate."

Yuan Xueming smiled gently towards Xu Rendong, turned his head and walked into the elevator.

Everyone watched the elevator door close and made a low running sound. Time seemed to be stretched for a long time, and everyone stared at the elevator with bated breath, for fear that Yuan Xueming's screams would come from inside in the next second.

After some time, the faint motor sound disappeared, and the elevator returned to peace.

Xu Rendong raised his hand and pressed the button, ding, the elevator door opened again. It was empty and there was nothing inside.

Everyone was overjoyed: "Brother Yuan is fine!" "The elevator really works! It's great!"

Jiang Li said happily: "It's not too late, let's go!" She and Wang Yuan looked at each other and smiled, and they stepped into the elevator side by side.

Xu Rendong also nodded and said, "I don't know what will happen if we drag it on. Let's go."

Everyone was about to enter, but at this time someone questioned again: "Wait! Even if there is no body of Brother Yuan here, it does not prove that the elevator can send us back to the real world! In case... What if this elevator sends us to a more dangerous place!"

The man was angry: "Is it wrong to be careful? Can you guarantee that this elevator is not a trap!"

Xu Hong stepped into the elevator one step at a time, and mocked without looking back: "Then you can keep it. The **** will always be the bastard, shrink your head and shrink your head, and you will still be a **** if you live for ten thousand years."

Though these remarks are rude, they hit the nail on the head. The man's face turned blue at her ridicule, and he could no longer speak.

Xu Rendong found that the first few people who entered the elevator were all familiar faces, and he suddenly couldn't help laughing. Sure enough, a person with a clear personality and decisive action will always leave a deep memory. Those mediocre people whose names could not be remembered by him will still be the background board even if they are reincarnated dozens of times.

Xu Rendong went in at the end, but found that Lian Qiao was standing outside and had no intention of coming in.

Xu Rendong called him: "Lian Qiao?"

Lian Qiao: "I want to stay a little longer."

Xu Rendong: "Why?"

Lian Qiao said: "Didn't the rabbit send us a task, or ... looking for gifts or something. Well, I'm a little curious, if I really collect all the gifts and give it to it, what will happen? what?"

This problem has really troubled Xu Rendong for a long time. At this time, everyone except even Qiao was already waiting in the elevator. Xu Rendong thought about it and left the elevator again.

Lian Qiao was taken aback. Xu Rendong turned his head and said, "You guys go first, I'll stay with him."

Jiang Li in the elevator nodded and was about to close the door when Lian Qiao suddenly stepped forward, reached out to block the elevator door, turned to Xu Rendong and said, "No no no, it's okay, I'll stay alone. Just come down. You go, you don't need to accompany me." He clenched the crowbar in his hand and said confidently, "Anyway, I have a crowbar for self-defense, and I'm strong in combat, so you don't have to worry about me."

Xu Rendong recalled his feat of smashing the black rabbit into meat sauce while crying, and he felt the same way: "Well, I really don't worry about you."

Even Qiao did not expect that Xu Rendong would not even be polite to him.

"Are you going?" Someone in the elevator couldn't help it.

Lian Qiao hesitated for a while, but Xu Rendong had already pulled his hand away. The elevator door slowly closed, and a sentence came from inside: "Thank you. Goodbye by fate."

Xu Rendong saw that it was Jiang Li who said those words, and his hair suddenly stood on end: Forget it, don't say goodbye to you.

He touched his neck subconsciously, and suddenly remembered that he hadn't asked Jiang Li why he cut his throat in revenge. In fact, he has always wanted to get an answer. For example, she is pregnant. For example, there is a seriously ill bedridden old man in her family who cannot leave her as the financial support. In the end, he still hoped that Jiang Li had a hard time, so he betrayed him and killed him as a savior.

But at the moment when the elevator door was closed, he saw Jiang Li and Wang Yuan's hands tightly clasped together, both of them had satisfied and happy expressions on their faces. At that moment, he suddenly understood that they just wanted to live.

If you want to live, want to live with your lover, you don't need any special reason at all.

Wanting to live is a reason in itself.

Xu Rendong was suddenly relieved and her mood became peaceful. He looked at the elevator without speaking, and even Joe didn't take the initiative to speak, just looked at him quietly and quietly. The corner of his mouth gradually curled into a smile.

Finally, the sound of the elevator stopped and everything returned to silence. There are only two of them left in the world.

Xu Rendong said: "Let's go."

Lian Qiao walked side by side with him: "Well."

The two rediscovered the church. Among the six known nesting dolls, one has been smashed by Brother Sledgehammer, and the other is a first-time killer nesting doll with a trap hidden in it. The remaining four are now in their hands.

The two sat on the chapel pews and began to discuss what to do next. Xu Rendong remembered that Lian Qiao had questioned whether there was something hidden on the back of the compass, so he found a small knife, inserted the tip of the knife into the gap of the dial, and tried to pry the dial open.

Lian Qiao watched him dismantle the compass, not worried that they would lose their way without the compass. He was just curious, why did Xu Rendong stay? Although the boss clearly said that he is not worried about him, but the actual action now is to accompany him to find a nesting doll.

Why?

An imperceptible gentle look smeared in Lian Qiao's eyes.

The internal structure of the compass is very simple, just a small magnetic needle fixed on the dial. But after removing the dial, the two were surprised to find that there was another pointer hidden on the back of the compass.

The compass on the front has red and blue ends, pointing north and south respectively. The one on the back is directly shaped like an arrow. No matter how the dial turns, it points straight in a certain direction, neither north-south nor east-west.

"Go and see?" Lian Qiao asked.

Xu Rendong nodded, and the two wrapped their coats tightly and left the church in the direction of the arrow.

The arrow points to the edge of the forest. Xu Rendong felt more and more familiar as he walked, and he had already roughly guessed the result in his heart. Sure enough, the arrow eventually led them to the edge of a large tree. The tree was unremarkable and looked no different from the other trees around it. Xu Rendong leaned over, peeled off the snow on the ground, and found a nesting doll that was faintly dark. This is the Matryoshka doll who once twisted people into twists.

Lian Qiao was pleasantly surprised: "Does this pointer refer to the position of the remaining nesting dolls?"

Xu Rendong: "It's possible."

Lian Qiao said again: "Look, the direction of the arrow has changed! It seems that the next nesting doll is in that direction! Let's go find it."

Go back and rectify, otherwise, I may not be able to find a place to stay before it gets dark. If we sleep outside on such a cold day, we will definitely freeze to death.”

Lian Qiao readily agreed.

Although there is no compass to guide, Xu Rendong is already very familiar with this terrain. Soon after, the two returned to the hunter's hut, both exhausted.

As soon as they lit the fireplace, it snowed outside. The north wind slapped the window like a solid body, making a disturbing agitation. The matches in the fireplace were crackling, and the firelight illuminated the interior very warmly, as if the cold was completely isolated from the outside.

Lian Qiao squatted in front of the fireplace, playing with a fire fork, and suddenly said, "We seem to be on vacation."

Xu Rendong turned around after hearing the words, and saw that Lian Qiao was enveloped in the warm firelight, the corners of his mouth were grinning, and his demeanor was gentle, which made people want to smile.

The scene was so warm and peaceful that Xu Rendong had the same idea - they were like a couple on vacation...

However, this subtle charm disappeared completely at dinner time.

Xu Rendong ate Lieba and milk with heart, and deeply realized that he was absolutely in love with Lian Qiao. If he left here with the large army today, he would have returned to the real world to eat and drink spicy food, where would he need to continue eating bread!

What is the difference between this behavior and being willing to eat **** for a girlfriend!

Fortunately, Lian Qiao is a boy, otherwise he really doubted whether he liked others.
