Death Spiral [Infinite Flow]

Chapter 39: Esophagus 1

The place where the old nun taught the children was in the living room. Not long ago, the scene of a dozen children sitting in front of the blackboard is still vivid in my mind, but now only two of the teammates are left with the death of Lianqiao and Lianqiao. The strong smell of blood in the monastery still fills the nostrils, making people feel heavy and depressing. .

The teaching aids used by the old nun were all piled up around the table. Pointers, chalkboards, erasers, and most importantly—

"There's only so much chalk?" Lian Qiao frowned as he looked at the chalk that was only half a size smaller. He tried to break it, but the chalk was too short to break in the middle. If you break it hard, it will probably smash into powder.

Xu Rendong said: "It's okay, this is enough."

Lian Qiao turned around and handed the chalk head to Xu Rendong: "Brother Honeysuckle, take it."

According to the picture book, Lamia will take off her eyes during the day and go to sleep. Fortunately, it was already the second half of the night, and they only had to wait a little longer before dawn. However, the bedroom on the second floor was full of corpses, so they had to curl up on the sofa on the first floor, barely closing their eyes to rest.

There is still a strong smell of blood in the air, and no one can rest well. Fortunately, the torment-like light sleep didn't last too long. After more than an hour, the first ray of sunlight in the morning shone on Xu Rendong's face.

Xu Rendong opened his eyes and found that even Qiao had woken up. Obviously, he couldn't rest well either, and his face was haggard. The two didn't speak, just looked at each other silently, got up and walked towards the end of the corridor.

Xu Rendong took out the chalk and began to draw lines on the wall. Both of them stared at the chalk head, their breathing slowed down. Fortunately, as the chalk ran across the wall, smooth cracks gradually appeared in the wall. Soon, four straight lines form a box. The four cracks were also connected together, turning the box into a stone door that could be pushed open.

Xu Rendong breathed a sigh of relief and put away the chalk: "Sure enough, the chalk is for this purpose."

"Otherwise, why would the old nun teach us a lesson?" Lian Qiao smiled, "Brother Honeysuckle, have you heard a saying. In a good reasoning script, no detail is useless. Let's The copy this time seems to have very little information, but when you think about it carefully, it’s all hints.”

Xu Rendong smiled and put her hand on the door: "Get ready, I'll open the door."

Lian Qiao: "Yeah."

Xu Rendong exerted light force on his hand, and the small door was pushed open without hindrance, revealing the inner corridor. Xu Rendong raised the kerosene lamp and looked in, and found that the interior of the corridor was far higher than the small door, pitch-black, and looked like the bottomless throat of some kind of prehistoric beast.

The two entered the small door. Sure enough, as soon as they entered, the small door closed behind them and disappeared. Behind him became a bumpy stone wall, like in a cave. Traces of chalk are nowhere to be found.

Although this was expected, Xu Rendong still felt a heavy heart and felt extremely uneasy. He held a kerosene lamp high, illuminating the interior of the cave. I saw the winding road winding around, very deep, I don't know where it will lead.

Lian Qiao's eyes were filled with excitement. He lowered his voice and said with a smile, "I'm going to beat the boss!"

Xu Rendong didn't answer.

Lian Qiao said to himself again: "However, looking at our team configuration, where is the boss, it is clearly the boss who is hitting us."

It's so long-winded at such a time, should it be said that she is a popular anchor who is good at turning horror games into funny games?

Xu Rendong shook her head, but the corners of her mouth could not help but lift slightly.

The corridor is long and narrow, and there are hard stone walls everywhere. The faint light of the kerosene lamp flickered on the stone wall, illuminating two small shadows leaning against each other.

Fortunately, there is no fork in the road here, it is all the way to the end. The two were careful, trying not to make any footsteps. Just holding back my heartbeat, I don't know how long I walked, and the corridor gradually became wider. Finally, at the end, a spacious cave appeared.

After walking in the suffocating corridor for so long, at this moment, both of them felt a sense of enlightenment. They were mentally prepared for the monsters they were about to face, but when they really saw the scene in the cave, they couldn't help but be stunned.

In the middle of the cave there is a long dining table. The table was covered with snow-white napkins embroidered with delicate patterns. A dazzling array of food is laid out on it: fresh fruit, steaming grilled meat, oily and crispy bread... Just standing so far away, the aroma of the food comes out.

Lian Qiao couldn't help swallowing her saliva, her eyes went straight.

"Trap, be careful." Xu Rendong whispered, but his stomach growled.

In all, they haven't dropped rice for three days. For Xu Rendong, this hunger doubled. Compared with his body, the hunger in his heart made him more anxious. He could barely take his eyes off the tempting food. He felt empty in his stomach, his stomach cramped with emptiness, and the madly secreted stomach acid was digesting itself.

I'm so hungry...have to eat something...so hungry...

"Honeysuckle!" Lian Qiao whispered and pressed his hand.

He was surprised to find himself standing in front of the dining table, beguilingly reaching for the food. His fingertips were even close to touching a charred roast leg of lamb. If Lian Qiao hadn't stopped him in time, I'm afraid he would have grabbed the barbecue and chewed it.

"...Sorry." Xu Rendong apologized in a low voice, "I..."

Lian Qiao shook his head: "I understand. Brother Honeysuckle, look there."

Xu Rendong looked in the direction of Lian Qiao's finger, only to see a beautiful girl sitting on the other side of the dining table.

The girl was wearing an ancient Greek-style white robe, and the soft fabric wrapped her body, setting off an elegant figure. The girl's complexion was as smooth as honey, and she was nodding slightly, sitting quietly at the table. Her hands were hanging on her lap, motionless, as if she was asleep.

"This is what Lamia looks like..." Xu Rendong said softly.

Lian Qiao nodded: "She fell asleep. I guess if you stole the food just now, she will wake up immediately."

The two came to Lamia on tiptoe, and found that the girl's eyes were tightly closed, but the eye sockets were deeply sunken. Her hands were spread out on her lap, with an eyeball in each palm.

Behind the girl, in the middle of the stone wall, is a silver-white metal elevator!

Lian Qiao suddenly leaned into Xu Rendong's ear and laughed softly: "It really is the place where the final boss battle will take place, and even the dungeon exit is directly set here."

Xu Rendong nodded and said with his lips: "The question is where is the button."

Lian Qiao was still close to him, his lips almost touching his earlobe: "First kill the boss, maybe the button will drop directly. Otherwise, Brother Honeysuckle, you first Draw the door with chalk, and I'll steal the eyeballs. She will wake up and run after me. Isn't our door very small, the ideal state is to stick her in the door. In this case, we will You can do whatever you want. Even if she can't get stuck, it will take time for her to redraw the door and chase it out. She has no eyes and can't see, so it's still easy to kill her."

Xu Rendong: "Okay."

Lian Qiao said softly, "Go."

For some reason, this gentle "go" caused a circle of ripples in Xu Rendong's heart. He suppressed this unknown emotion and walked towards the entrance without looking back.

The end of the chalk was held tightly in his palm. He recalled Lian Qiao's entrustment, simulated the battle plan for a while, and at the same time couldn't help sighing that Lian Qiao was really smart and could always think of a way to deal with the basilisk.

Lian Joe is a contradictory fellow. Usually always smiling, not serious, timid, and scared to croak at every turn, but always so reliable and reassuring at critical moments.

He is three years younger than me!

Xu Rendong somehow thought of these things. He couldn't help but look back at Lian Qiao. Seeing him looking back, Lian Qiao asked him with a smile in his eyes: What do you see me doing?

Xu Rendong avoided his eyes unconsciously, and was about to continue walking, but suddenly heard a familiar voice.

"Grumbling..."

However, this time, the source of the voice was not Xu Rendong, but Lian Qiao standing beside Lamia.

The two of them changed their expressions at the same time and turned to look at Lamia. Sure enough, Lamia's eyelids trembled in his sleep, and his slender index finger was slightly rolled up to put the eyeballs back into the sockets!

She woke up!

Lian Qiao shouted: "Run!" At the same time, his eyes quickly grabbed Lamia's palm.

Xu Rendong had no time to think, turned her head and ran towards the entrance, shouting: "Don't worry about your eyes, run!"

Lian Qiao, however, was already quick-witted, reached out and grabbed the eyeball in Lamia's palm. It's a pity that he stood on Lamia's side and could only get the eyeball that was closer to him. He grabbed Lamia's left eye in his hand, no longer hesitated at the moment, turned around and chased Xu Rendong.

Lamia woke up suddenly, her eyelids snapped open, revealing a pair of empty scarlet eye sockets. The fingers of her hands were clenched, and she realized that her left eye had been stolen. However, she was not in a hurry to put on the right eye, but grabbed the left front as fast as lightning!

"Hmm!" Even Joe was caught off guard by Lamia!

Xu Rendong looked back, shocked. Before he could speak, Lian Qiao roared, "Leave me alone, run!" Then he raised his hand and threw Lamia's left eye at Honeysuckle!

Xu Rendong raised his hand and caught the eyeball. The eyeball was still warm, wet and sticky, and it felt very bad to hold in the hand. He ignored the nausea and stared at Lian Qiao with red eyes.

Lian Joe has been pinched by Lamia's neck and placed on his lap. At this time, Lamia still hadn't put on the eyeballs, except that the eye sockets were a little scary, and the whole body still maintained the appearance of a girl. Lian Qiao was pressed on her lap, and it looked like a child was playing with the girl. However, Lian Qiao's face was full of determination, and he had already said his last words with an expression.

Go, you can't save me.

Xu Rendong bit her lower lip, forcing herself to run towards the entrance. There was a deep, dull sound behind him, like a bone being crushed by a heavy object. Mixed with it was even Joe's controlled, painful gasps, but he didn't whimper, not even moan. He just gritted his teeth hard and pressed the scream in his throat.

Xu Rendong didn't dare to think about what Lian Qiao suffered at this time. He forced himself to concentrate and ran with all his might in the direction he was coming from. The young body that had not eaten for several days was already exhausted. He squeezed the last trace of energy in his muscles and ran desperately.

He couldn't spoil Lian Joe's mind.

The elevator has been found. Now as long as he runs out, as long as he can escape this catastrophe, he may soon be able to find the button. In this way, he can reset the world and go back to save Lian Qiao, and take Lian Qiao through the level unscathed... He can't waste the opportunity that Lian Qiao sacrificed himself for him.

The winding corridor seemed so long at this time. Xu Rendong almost tripped over the gravel on the ground several times, and he could barely keep his balance in panic. Even Joe's voice was no longer audible, replaced by the sound of crunching, gudonggudong swallowing, and a contented sigh.

Field of vision is gradually blurring. Xu Rendong's eyes were sore, and he finally saw the stone wall at the end of the corridor.

He threw the kerosene lamp aside without hesitation, took out the chalk, and began to draw lines on the stone wall.

The sound of footsteps came from behind, Lamia was catching up. While Xu Rendong was drawing a white line, he felt an itch in his left hand. It was Lamia's eyeballs shrinking and squirming!

The eyeball twisted and tried to break free from his palm, Xu Rendong grabbed it tightly and almost burst the eyeball. Lamia's footsteps were getting closer, his hands began to tremble uncontrollably, and the white line he drew could no longer be vertical.

Calm down! calm down! You still have time!

He tried to ignore the sound of footsteps so close at hand, but the more he forced himself, the more his hands trembled. Finally, only the last vertical line remained on the door frame. He grabbed the chalk and stroked down—

Severe pain in my fingertips!

Xu Rendong retracted her hand in pain, only to find that her finger hit a sharp raised stone corner, and she actually made a deep hole with visible bone!

The chalk fell somewhere. Xu Rendong knelt on the ground and looked around. The kerosene lights flickered, the ground was full of rubble, but the little chalk tip was nowhere to be found.

Xu Rendong put both hands on the ground, watching his right hand bleed like a stream, suddenly felt that he no longer had the strength to stand up.

He smelled a hot **** smell and felt something approaching behind him. For some reason, he was suddenly not afraid, but somewhat relieved.

When he was picked up from the ground by his neck, the kerosene lamp just went out. Looking at the dark cave, Xu Rendong couldn't help but let out a desperate laugh.

"Hahahahahahahahahahaha!"

The wrist was turned in the opposite direction, and the joint ligaments made a sound of rupture. The fingers loosened unconsciously, and Lamia's eyes were taken away.

When the body was about to be torn in half, Xu Rendong closed his eyes, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, thinking to himself:

Leaving even Joe, not even a minute alive. I'm really cool.
