Death Spiral [Infinite Flow]

    Xu Rendong ran wildly in the corridor with her broken arm, Zhong Xiu held a bone saw, staggeringly chasing behind.

    Although Zhong Xiu walked slowly, she was murderous. He ran to the end of the corridor, where there was an escape door. Xu Rendong almost slammed into it, but the door didn't move at all.

    Locked?

    When he looked up, he saw that the light on the escape route was red, and he couldn't help but curse.

    Zhong Xiu had followed behind him, Xu Rendong only felt the chill invade his back. When he turned around, he saw Zhong Xiu holding the bone saw high and slashing at him with resentment.

    The back is close to the escape door, Xu Rendong has no way to escape.

    Done! The boss who has no power to hold the chicken will be killed by the player!

    In despair, Xu Rendong suddenly had a flash of inspiration - wait, I'm the boss! I will teleport!

    Just as the bone saw was about to cut him on the head, Xu Rendong closed his eyes to stimulate his thoughts. Sure enough, the next second, he had appeared on the other side of the corridor.

    Zhong Xiu saw through the air and couldn't help being surprised. Looking at it again, that person actually disappeared out of thin air, and appeared out of thin air at a place more than ten meters away from him. Zhong Xiu frowned slightly, picked up the bone saw and chased after him again.

    Xu Rendong did not dare to confront her head-on, he saw an open ward and rushed in without hesitation. When entering the room, he locked the lock with his backhand, quickly observed the room environment, and then hid under the bed with a cat waist.

    Not long after, Zhong Xiu kicked the door. Xu Rendong lay on the ground and felt a slight itch on the broken arm. The broken arm has grown back.

    It's really convenient to be a boss. Xu Rendong sighed inwardly. In the past, he hated this kind of boss who couldn't be beaten to death and could be reborn after a while, but now he realizes how cool this regenerative ability is.

    But cool is useless. Xu Rendong suddenly exploded with a loud noise from the top of his head. Xu Rendong was shocked, and instinctively rolled to the side, only to see that the hospital bed that was hiding just now had been split in half.

    Zhong Xiu is so cruel!

    Xu Rendong looked up and met Zhong Xiu's eyes. With a sad expression, she took the bone saw and walked towards Xu Rendong step by step.

    "Why kill them? They are still so young and have a great future waiting for them..."

      He hurriedly dodged, and rolled on the spot in embarrassment, barely dodging this. Zhong Xiu missed a hit, leaned against the wall and began to gasp. It can be seen that she is very weak, and she is acting out of hatred.

    She blocked the exit of the ward, Xu Rendong couldn't escape, so he gritted his teeth and rushed into the bathroom of the ward.

    This bathroom is dead end. Zhong Xiu kicked hard outside the door and threatened: "I count 123, I'll break in if you don't come out."

    Xu Rendong: "..." How do you feel that I am a primary school student who failed the exam and was chased and beaten by my mother?

    Zhong Xiu: "1, 2..."

    Xu Rendong looked at the toilet in front of him and suddenly had an idea.

    Zhong Xiu: "3!"

    Boom! The heavy object hit the door so hard that the door frame shook. Xu Rendong hurriedly dodged, and heard a loud noise again, only to see the half-bone saw stuck in the door, and Zhong Xiu opened the door abruptly.

    …Do you still have so much energy for terminal cancer patients?

    Time is running out. Xu Rendong turned to face the mirror, took a deep breath, closed his eyes and wiped his face. When he opened his eyes again, he had changed.

    He turned himself into Lian Joe. Looking at the familiar face in the mirror, Xu Rendong immediately felt at ease.

    Zhong Xiu was still banging on the door, splitting a big hole out of it. She drew the bone saw from the doorway and was about to look in. Xu Rendong pressed the flush button of the toilet, pretending to be impatient and scolding: "What are you urging! What is there to urge you to get a tuba!"

    Zhong Xiu was taken aback. Xu Rendong was actually stunned for a moment - he wasn't used to Lian Qiao's voice coming out of his throat. It feels weird.

    Xu Rendong gathered up his courage, opened the door and went out, stared at Zhong Xiu and said, "Are you in such a hurry! You can't wait for a while!"

    Lian Qiao's voice is too soft, even in such an airy tone, it still sounds like a spoiled child, giving people the impression that he is easy to bully.

    Zhong Xiu: "???"

    She looked in the bathroom and at the blood-stained bone saw in her hand, and was dazed by this sudden turn.

    "Who are you?" Zhong Xiu asked blankly.

    "I came with a friend to visit the patient." Xu Rendong pretended to be indifferent and quietly glanced at Zhong Xiu from the corner of his eye. Zhong Xiu frowned slightly, as if something was wrong. But she was in a dream after all, and her reason was not online, so she accepted this reality.

    "Oh." Zhong Xiu nodded, his face returned to that sullen expression. She threw the bone saw away and walked out like a wandering soul.

    "Hello!" Xu Rendong stopped her. Following Lian Qiao's example, he looked at Zhong Xiu with innocent and innocent eyes, "I'm lost, can you do me a favor and take me to the elevator?"

    Zhong Xiu agreed. The two walked out of the ward and passed the nurse's station. Zhong Xiu glanced at the empty nurse station and said casually, "Why is there no one at the nurse station?"

    Xu Rendong felt tight, for fear that she would remember what happened just now. Fortunately, Zhong Xiu said to himself again: "Maybe he went to rescue..."

    As soon as he finished speaking, there was a loud noise from the ward beside him.

    "Push Adrenaline!"

    "What's your blood pressure?"

    "The blood pressure is still falling!"

    "Give me another nicotine shot! Dopamine pump up! Call the interns over here and prepare for CPR!"

    Zhong Xiu and Xu Rendong stood at the door of the ward, watching a large group of white lab coats busy. The patient on the hospital bed had turned ashes, and all the instruments around were beeping.

    Xu Rendong was a little surprised. When he escaped just now, he had passed by this ward, and there was no one in it. It wasn't until Zhong Xiu said, "Maybe it was going to be rescued," that patients and medical staff appeared out of thin air. It seems that Zhong Xiu's ability to control dreams is far superior to him, no wonder he can't beat Zhong Xiu.

    It's not his kind, it's really Zhong Xiu too good.

    Zhong Xiu watched for a while, then muttered, "Don't save me, it hurts to press on the chest, and my ribs are all broken."

    Xu Rendong was stunned: "Will the chest press break the ribs?"

    Zhong Xiu smiled and didn't answer, just said, "Don't look, let's go." Then he walked towards the escape exit.

    Xu Rendong followed. When I came to the door of the escape passage, I looked up and saw that the escape sign above was still bright red. Xu Rendong said, "This door is locked, do you have the key?"

    Zhong Xiu said: "You don't need a key, just press this button." She reached out and pressed a white button on the wall. The escape sign on the door immediately turned green.

    It turned out to be like this...

    Xu Rendong rarely goes to the hospital, he really didn't know that the hospital passage is this kind of electronic lock.

    The door opens and there is an escape elevator behind. Xu Rendong's eyes lit up. Zhong Xiu said: "Okay, you can go down by yourself." After that, she went back.

    Xu Rendong grabbed her: "You go with me. You will die if you stay here."

    Zhong Xiu looked at him and suddenly laughed: "I know."

    Xu Rendong was taken aback.

    Zhong Xiu pointed to the sign of the oncology department outside the escape elevator and said, "Those who come here will inevitably die in the end."

    Xu Rendong said: "I didn't mean that. As long as you get out of this elevator with me, you can live a few more days."

    Zhong Xiu smiled and shook her head. Xu Rendong wanted to persuade, but when he saw Zhong Xiu pull out a pack of cigarettes, he asked him, "Do you want to smoke?"

    Xu Rendong frowned: "You are so sick, and you still smoke?"

    Zhong Xiu shrugged indifferently: "I'm going to die anyway, so do you care about this?" She lit a cigarette by herself, walked to the window, and looked out at the scenery outside. From here, you can actually see the busy traffic outside, a bustling scene.

    Zhong Xiu was so thin that the smallest hospital gown was bigger than her body. From behind, she looked like a bad girl who skipped class and smoked. It's just that the side of the face is too pale, and there is no girl's ruddy face. On the contrary, it made her feel weak and delicate.

    Xu Rendong was silent for a moment, then reached out to her: "Give me one too. Tell me, why won't you leave?"

    Zhong Xiu smiled and passed the cigarette: "Because I don't want to live for a long time. You may not believe it, I have never had good luck in my life. The first half of my life was a shame for the family, and the second half of my life was a shame. It's someone else's burden. I've tried and struggled, but it's all to no avail. I ended up here."

    She pointed to the "Oncology" sign on the wall, her face still smiling softly: "I don't want to suffer any more, so let's give up handsomely."

    Xu Rendong asked: "Is there nothing in this world worth your nostalgia?"

    As soon as the words came out, his heart skipped a beat. He suddenly remembered that a long time ago, even Joe had asked him this sentence: Is there nothing in this world worthy of your nostalgia?

    At that time, in order to leave the dungeon as soon as possible, he offered to take risks. Even Joe said he looked as if he was ready to die, as if he was no longer attached to anything.

    …What a mockery.

    Xu Rendong thought bitterly. It turned out that I was so similar to her.

    I was lucky to meet Lian Qiao. And her misfortune is that she has never been able to wait for someone who can save her.

    Xu Rendong took a deep breath, looked at Zhong Xiu, and said earnestly, "You still have a son."

    Zhong Xiu shook her head: "Forget it, I already owe him so much, why bother him?"

    Xu Rendong: "Money is not a problem, he has savings."

    Zhong Xiu smiled softly: "He's getting married..."

    Xu Rendong pursed her lips and lit the cigarette. Taking a deep breath, he mustered the courage to say, "He... won't get married. He's gay."

    Zhong Xiu was not surprised, but showed an extremely loving smile to Xu Rendong: "Actually, I have seen it for a long time, you are his object, right?"

    Xu Rendong shook his hand and the smoke went out.

    He hurried to pick it up, and then he remembered that he had become Lian Qiao. So Zhong Xiu had already seen it? He thought they were perfectly disguised...

    Xu Rendong coughed. Through the glass, he saw his own reflection. He held Lian Qiao's face, and with Lian Qiao's voice, he replied softly, "...Well."

    Zhong Xiu admired his reddish profile and praised generously: "His eyes are so good."

    Xu Rendong: “…”

    Zhong Xiu: "Your vision is also very good, you are a good match."

    Xu Rendong: "..." This topic is really embarrassing.

    Xu Rendong couldn't answer the words, and forcibly changed the subject: "Don't talk about this. Since you know who I am, just listen to me and follow me."

    Zhong Xiu let out a long sigh and said quietly: "People always die. I have no courage or strength to live anymore. Why do you force me?"

    Xu Rendong turned her head sideways. Zhong Xiu smiled slightly: "I've been at the mercy of others all my life, and now I'm at the end of my life, let me be the master for myself once, okay?"

    Xu Rendong stared at her silently, no despair and depression could be seen on her face, some were just calm and indifferent. She was not driven to a dead end by illness, nor was she deprived of hope by fate. She is just tired.

    Xu Rendong suddenly understood why in the previous dream, the elevator could not be found anywhere - because she was begging for death.

    She never thought of leaving, and she never thought she would be saved. So in her dream, there is never a way out.

    "...Okay." Xu Rendong sighed, "If this is your final decision, I respect you."

    "Thank you." The smile in Zhong Xiu's eyes was as gentle as a galaxy.

    Xu Rendong turned her head and stopped looking at her. The cigarette in his hand has burned to the end, and his fingertips are burning. He pinched the cigarette and said, "Then I'll go."

    "Wait, I have one more thing to ask you." Zhong Xiu suddenly remembered something, and took off something from his neck, "Please help me pass this to him."

    Xu Rendong took it and looked down, it was a small longevity lock. The lock body is dark gold and looks very old, even the corners are a little worn. It looks like it has been worn close to the body for many years.

    Xu Rendong's heart trembled slightly and asked: "This is... when he was born, did you prepare it for him?"

    Zhong Xiu: "No. This is a special item I found in the last instance."

    Xu Rendong: “…”

    The emotion in his heart disappeared instantly, he coughed awkwardly: "Okay, I thank you for him."

    Zhong Xiu pressed the elevator button and said with a smile, "Let's go."

    The elevator door opened in front of the two of them, Xu Rendong held the longevity lock tightly in his palm and walked into the elevator alone.

    Zhong Xiu smiled and watched the elevator slowly close. Xu Rendong looked down at the longevity lock and suddenly became suspicious. He reached out to stop the elevator and asked, "Since you don't want to live anymore, why didn't you give up in the first instance?"

    Zhong Xiu smiled and said nothing.

    Xu Rendong saw that she had no intention of answering, so she silently retracted her hand and watched the elevator door closed.

    At the last moment, Zhong Xiu sighed from outside the elevator.

    "Sorry..."

    Xu Rendong was shocked and suddenly understood the answer to that question. He subconsciously wanted to open the elevator door, but it was too late. The elevator was running, and no matter what he did, it was irreversible - Jong-soo was left there forever.

    Xu Rendong glanced at the longevity lock in his hand and hung it around his neck. At the same time, the low, hoarse voice resounded in his ears again.
