Death Spiral [Infinite Flow]

    The ward rounds made Xu Rendong unable to lift her head up in front of the doctor. He couldn't help being annoyed, how could he believe Lian Qiao's evil at that time, and actually climbed onto the hospital bed and hugged him to sleep.

    Fortunately, even Joe's low-grade fever subsided the next day, and he has been recovering well since then. On the fifth day after the operation, he was able to get out of bed, but he was not able to use his crutches well and walked very slowly. The orthopaedic surgeon explained some precautions and let him go home to recuperate on his own. The two of them were discharged from the hospital quickly and packed up and went home.

    Lian Qiao is young after all, and the injury is on the leg, so the impact on daily life is not too big. A few days after returning home, he went back to the computer to continue the live broadcast. The audience in the live broadcast room knew that he had a car accident and sent their condolences one after another. Of course condolences are rewards. Even Qiao was a blessing in disguise. During the live broadcast of the injury, his popularity actually climbed to the top of the platform, which was even more lively than before he was injured.

    Xu Rendong took a long vacation with the company. On the one hand, it is to take care of Lian Qiao, on the other hand, he has already intended to do so. They just have a rough idea of ​​when the elevator will appear, but don't know the exact time. It’s not good to ask for leave all the time, so I simply apply to work from home completely. Anyway, the network is so convenient now, and his work is completely unaffected.

    In this way, his working hours are also very free. I usually watch Lian Qiao play games when I'm free, and even start learning how to cook. It's a pity that he doesn't have any talent in this area. Even Qiao would compliment him on his delicious food at first, but after a few days of persistence, he finally surrendered.

    Calm days slip by like water. Finally, it's time to enter the copy again.

    Lian Qiao was standing in front of the elevator with crutches. Xu Rendong put on the backpack and said to him, "Let's go."

    After this period of practice, Lian Qiao's walking speed has been much faster than when he was just discharged from the hospital. But after all, the crutches cannot be taken out of his hands, and his movements are still greatly restricted. He felt very uneasy about this, for fear that he would drag Xu Rendong down. Xu Rendong used his usual tricks, pretending to be a domineering boss, saying that you just need to lie down with me and win.

    The elevator made a low running sound. Soon, six big characters appeared in front of the two of them: LOCK WITHOUT KEY.

    Lian Qiao frowned at the same time. A lock that doesn't require a key, what does that mean? Fingerprint lock? Pupil lock?

    The two checked the information for a while, and all they could find were those modern technologies. No matter how they looked at it, they didn't feel right.

    Lian Qiao suddenly had a flash of inspiration and found something from his backpack: "Brother Honeysuckle, do you think it has something to do with this?"

    In the copy of "Russian Nesting Dolls", after they collected all the nesting dolls, the rabbit gave them a hidden item.

    A brass key with "Lian Joe" written on it.

    Xu Rendong thought for a while, then shook his head: "It's hard to say. After all, it's a 'lock without a key', and the key is the 'lock', not the key."

    Lian Qiao sighed, put the key away carefully, and muttered, "Oh, I don't know when this key will be used..."

    Having doubts, the two walked out of the elevator.

    What comes into view is a huge ring-shaped building resembling a Fujian Tulou. The tulou was decorated with colorful lights, with red lanterns and red ribbons hanging everywhere, and the whole tulou was shrouded in a festive red. Strangely, this tulou is particularly tall. Xu Rendong looked at it at a glance, there were about nine floors.

    Fujian Tulou in reality cannot be built so high, because it will affect the lighting on the ground floor. At this time, it was night, a full moon hung in the sky, it was clear and cold, and rows of red lanterns hung on the tulou, which made it even more monstrous.

    The plain is endless white mist, but there is nowhere to go except the tulou. Xu Rendong and Lian Qiao looked at each other and walked to the entrance of the tulou side by side.

    As soon as they entered, both of them were stunned.

    Why so many people!

    I saw a large group of people standing on the large circular open space in the middle of the tulou. Xu Rendong hurriedly counted, as far as he could see, there were at least fifty. There are still a few shadowy figures on the top of the tulou, probably the daring ones have gone up to explore. There are still people coming in at the entrance, and the number is increasing.

    As the number of people increased, the expressions on everyone's faces became more and more ugly. The difficulty of the dungeon is related to the number of participants. There are so many players in this dungeon, I am afraid it is not difficult to ascend to the sky.

    Xu Rendong and Lian Qiao stood outside the crowd. Both of them have outstanding temperament and appearance, they stand out from the crowd wherever they stand, attracting everyone's attention. Especially the new girls, who often ran over with blushing and begged to act with them. This time, however, no one took the initiative to talk to them.

    Maybe it's because Lian Joe is on crutches. Everyone's eyes stayed on his left leg for a moment, and there was a brief regret in their eyes, and then they looked away and stopped paying attention to them.

    Lian Qiao sighed: "I knew..."

    "Don't worry about them, first observe the environment." Xu Rendong looked around. The location where they are now is the bottom floor of the tulou. According to the information in the encyclopedia, this location is called "Xiatang".

    There is a dark green circular pool in the middle of the lower hall. The pool was so deep that it was impossible to see the bottom. Just standing on the edge of the pool gave people the illusion of being caught by something. Therefore, everyone stood far away from the water pool and held a group to try to ease the tense atmosphere.

    Lian Qiao suddenly pointed out: "There seems to be someone above."

    Xu Rendong looked up and saw a blurry figure on the ninth floor, walking down the stairs one by one. Soon, other people also discovered the figure, stopped whispering, raised their heads and stared at the figure.

    As the figure approached, everyone gradually saw that it was an old lady with a plump figure and a red dress. The old lady was wearing a cardigan and crotch pants. The sleeves and trousers are extremely wide, but the wrists and ankles are slender and slender, which is extremely incommensurate with the thick waist. At first glance, it looks like a scarecrow full of weeds, extremely weird.

    Everyone watched her helplessly, walking around and down the stairs. No one dared to speak, as if the old lady would turn into a ghost if she made a sound, rushing up and tearing the person to pieces.

    After some time, the old lady finally came to the middle of the hall. She walked towards the crowd, and they all turned away, just as Moses parted the Red Sea.

    The atmosphere became solemn for a while.

    The old lady looked around, a pair of facial features like a smile but a smile, sticking to her face like a paper paste.

    "Are you all here?" she asked.

    Everyone looked at each other, but no one answered her.

    The old lady asked herself and answered, "Everyone is here." Then she clapped her hands. Everyone suddenly heard a rumbling sound behind them. It turned out that the two walls at the entrance of the tulou were slowly moving, like a clumsy python slowly biting its tail. It didn't take long for the entrance to close. The two walls were tightly closed together, as if the entrance had never existed.

    Everyone's faces sank, knowing that they can't get out anymore. Those with poor mental capacity, seeing this posture, were so frightened that they cried on the spot.

    Ignoring everyone's reaction, the old lady just smiled and said: "Dear guests, since we are here, it is fate. Please come with me and stay in our earth building for a few days!"

    She clapped her palm again. All the rooms on the tulou suddenly lit up at the same time, swept away the previous gloom. There was a faint sound of music from nowhere. At this time, the earth building seemed to be really receiving a group of distinguished guests, and those big red lanterns didn't look so scary anymore.

    However, when the old lady led everyone into her room and pushed open the door, everyone was startled again.

    That room is also a traditional old style bedroom. It was just a girl standing beside the large carved bed. The girl was only fifteen or sixteen years old. She had a beautiful appearance and an enchanting figure. Her frown and smile were captivating.

    There is such a girl in every guest room. Although she is very beautiful, she has a demonic aura all over her body. These girls stood in front of the carved bed with low eyebrows and pleasing to the eye, waiting for the guests, giving people the illusion that they were in the story of Liaozhai, as if they would be sucked out of yang energy when they got close to them.

    Everyone asked the old lady what it meant, the old lady smiled and said, "Since the guests are here, we naturally have to entertain them. These children are here to take care of your daily life and are your servants. If you like it, it’s okay to have them.”

    Honeysuckle even Qiao listened, and her face was not very good-looking. What the heck, does it even provide sexual services?

    The two of them fell in love with each other, and naturally they couldn't see other people in their eyes. Others may not.

    This time the team was too large and mixed. Some people have long been attracted by the beauty of those girls, and when the old lady said "it's okay", a wretched smile appeared on her face. It's just that this is a world of terror after all, even if those people have evil thoughts in their hearts, they don't dare to come here. Although the color heart is heavy, after all, life matters.

    What's more, these beautiful girls, who look like people at the moment, what they will become at night, but it's hard to say.

    Xu Rendong and Lian Qiao were assigned to a bedroom in the middle hall. There was also a beautiful young girl in their bedroom, and when they saw them entering the room, they greeted them with a smile. The two were tired of seeing the old lady, and after the old lady left, they drove her out of the house and let her feed the mosquitoes outside the door.

    Xu Rendong observed the furnishings in the room. The large carved bed is hung with drapery, and in front of the bed is a table of the Eight Immortals with a set of tea sets and four benches beside it. The doors and windows are all covered with a layer of paper on the wooden skeleton, and it will be broken with a light poke. There are also some vases, scrolls and other decorations. On the whole, it gives the impression that you have walked into the costume film studio, and you can't tell what dynasty it is.

    The two sat down at the table and lit candles. There was tea on the table, even when Qiao touched it, it was still hot. It seems that the owner of this place is indeed ready to welcome it, preparing everything, just waiting for the guests to take it.

    "This copy is so strange..." Lian Qiao leaned his cane against the table and pointed to the door with his finger, "Is that girl sent by the old woman to watch us?"

    "It's possible. But I'm more concerned about the number of copies this time." Xu Rendong frowned, "When everyone gathered together just now, I counted again. Plus we are eight Eleven people."

    "Well, I counted eighty-one."

    Here, the two fell silent.

    Previously, they only entered dungeons with about 20 people, no more than 30 at most. This time, more than 80 people came at one time, the difficulty can be imagined.

      What he is most afraid of is the pig teammates. Just like the last president of Little Sun, he talked about "Monster Street" as soon as he came up, and abruptly increased the difficulty of the dungeon by several levels. And he is still a young boy. In order to avenge the girl D, he deliberately wanted to kill the other three members, so that Xu Rendong was also dragged into the water and suffered a big loss.

    Among the 81 players this time, there are newbies who can't figure out the situation, old players who have their own thoughts, and idiots who covet the beauty of girls. Not to mention how difficult the dungeon itself is, the complex player composition alone is already overwhelming.

    What's more, even Joe was lame.

    The form is very serious, Xu Rendong didn't want to worry Lian Qiao too much, so he said: "Go to rest early. You sleep on the other side."

    Lian Qiao nodded.
