Death Spiral [Infinite Flow]

    The surrounding atmosphere has changed significantly. The gloomy and depressing atmosphere in the ancestral hall became stronger and stronger, and the darkness almost turned into a reality, wrapping him so heavily that he couldn't breathe. The door is clearly behind him, and Lian Qiao is standing at the door. Even the candles on the incense table began to sway, as fragile as a boat in the sea, which could be destroyed at any time.

    The more tablets Xu Rendong exchanges, the darker the ancestral hall. It didn't take long for it to be so dark that even the tablets on the top floor could not be seen clearly.

    There are too many tablets, and the relationship between generations is chaotic. Xu Rendong buried his head in sorting out the order, and suddenly his scalp became numb, and he felt that someone was looking at him above his head. He raised his head suddenly, only to see a pitch-black piece, like an abyss.

    It's getting worse. Don't stay here for long!

    Xu Rendong increased his speed. Although he was in a hurry, he knew clearly that he must not be chaotic at this time. If the order is wrong, I am afraid that the thing on top of his head will kill him on the spot.

    Xu Rendong focused all her attention on the tablet. Lian Qiao suddenly said at the door: "Brother Rendong, come out quickly!"

    Xu Rendong's eyes jumped on the eighty-one tablets, and his brain was running fast: "Come on, get it right now!"

    Lian Qiao said anxiously: "The old lady is upstairs, it's too late!"

    Xu Rendong heard the words, no longer hesitated, and immediately turned to the door. Suddenly, it was dark in front of him, and I saw the two doors at the entrance of the ancestral hall, which were quickly closed in front of him!

    Xu Rendong was shocked. The ancestral hall became darker and darker, and he felt the pressure on the top of his head obviously increased, and his heart became more and more anxious. However, he was still two or three meters away from the gate. Seeing that the last ray of light was about to disappear, a steel pipe was suddenly inserted into the crack of the gate - it was Lian Qiao's crutch!

    "Quick!" Lian Qiao's anxious voice came from the crack of the door, "She's coming up soon!"

    With that crutch, Lian Qiao forced the door open by a dozen centimeters. The distance he pried was just enough for Xu Rendong to squeeze out, and Xu Rendong squeezed in the door without hesitation.

    In an instant, most of Xu Rendong squeezed out of the door. Lian Joe's face beamed with joy. However, Xu Rendong's expression changed - something cold quietly climbed up his back, grabbing the back of his neck and dragging him into the ancestral hall!

    He tried his best to move his body out of the door, and even Joe freed his hand to pull him. However, the thing in the darkness refused to let go, and pressed firmly on his neck, pushing him inward.

    That thing was so powerful that almost the entire upper body of Xu Rendong was pushed back. Lian Qiao clung to his clothes tightly, not daring to relax in the slightest. But because of this, he couldn't continue to use the crutches, so that the two doors pressed tightly against Xu Rendong, trapping him in the middle, unable to move.

      Even Joe's heart ached when he saw this. He put his crutches against his back, stepped on the door frame, and with a violent force, pried the two doors open a few inches.

    At the same time, he squeezed into the crack of the door with one hand, held Xu Rendong's shoulder tightly, and used his arm as a lever to force Xu Rendong out!

    "You—" Xu Rendong only had time to say this word, his body had lost his center of gravity, and both fell to the ground together with Lian Qiao. With a bang behind him, the metal crutch snapped and fell to the ground with a bang.

    Lian Qiao bounced off the ground almost instantly and touched Xu Rendong's arm and chest nervously: "Are you okay? Are you injured?"

    Xu Rendong grabbed his hand and his eyes fell on his arm.

    I saw a deep dent on the solid and beautiful forearm. The dent was so deep that the skin was crushed to a horrific marinade.

    Xu Rendong didn't say anything, just avoided his injury and helped him up carefully. Lian Qiao had no crutches and could not stand steadily, so he could barely tap the ground with his toes.

    Xu Rendong turned to look at the stairs. There were voices coming from there.

    No time.

    Xu Rendong turned around, grabbed his hand and put it on his shoulder.

    "Come up. I'll carry you."

    Lian Qiao hesitated for half a second and made a decision immediately. He bent down and picked up the two crutches on the ground, then approached Xu Rendong's back, kicked his right foot, and was caught by Xu Rendong firmly, and the whole person lay on his back.

    Lian Qiao's height is more than 1.8 meters, half a head taller than Xu Rendong, and his figure is stronger than him. Such a back is really stressful. Xu Rendong shook his body and almost fell.

    Lian Qiao immediately said, "I'd better come down."

    "Don't move." Xu Rendong took a deep breath, exerted strength with both hands, and lifted Lian Qiao up, "Hold me tight."

    Lian Qiao knew that he was at the end of the game, so he didn't dare to move, he could only hug his neck tightly.

    Xu Rendong tried hard to stabilize, and hid him aside with the fastest speed possible. Just when the two were able to hide, a red shadow appeared on the stairs. Sure enough, it was the old lady with little feet.

    Unexpectedly, there was someone by her side.

    Lian Qiao lowered his voice: "Ishimizu?"

    Xu Rendong narrowed her eyes. Next to the old lady with little feet, it was indeed Ishimizu wearing a black Tang suit. I saw Shi Jianchuan's face full of spring breeze, chatting and laughing with the old lady, and strolling over.

    When she came to the front of the ancestral hall, the old lady did not notice anything, and her face changed suddenly. She walked fast with her little feet, and in a blink of an eye, the door of the ancestral hall was pushed open. The two doors that weighed more than a thousand feet just now were as light as nothing in her hands, and the door opened in response to the sound of a "squeak". The red shadow flashed, and the old lady had already jumped into the house.

    The movement is as vigorous as an eagle swooping, not like an old lady with little feet.

    Ishi Jianchuan glanced at the crutches with interest, then crossed his arms and leaned lazily on the corridor, as if he was waiting to watch the play.

    There was a banging sound in the ancestral hall, probably something on the incense case hit the ground. The old lady searched the ancestral hall for a while, but when she didn't see anyone, she withdrew cursingly, folded her hands and bowed to the tablet a few times, and then closed the door again.

    That Shi Jianchuan leaned against the pillar, still with a smile on his face. Seeing the old lady come out, he said something with a smile. Surprisingly, when the old lady heard his words, she immediately smiled, as if she had forgotten everything just now.

    Xu Rendong and Lian Qiao looked at each other, thinking in their hearts: This is really not easy.

    Taking advantage of the time when the old lady and Iwami Chuan were talking, Ren Dong and Lian Qiao carefully bypassed the ancestral hall and went downstairs in the opposite direction.

    Lian Qiao has no crutches and has difficulty moving. Xu Rendong held his shoulders and returned to the room step by step. Even Joe was afraid that he would struggle, so he tried his best to land on the ground with his right foot. When he returned to the room, Xu Rendong was fine, but Lian Qiao was out of breath.

    He was sweating profusely, I don’t know if it was tired or painful. Xu Rendong saw it in his eyes, and his heart twitched.

    If I knew this, I should have committed suicide on the day of his accident...

    This idea just flashed in my heart, and Xu Rendong was shocked. He thought of a question:

    If he dies in the real world, will he be resurrected in the elevator?

    He dared not try to answer the question.

    Xu Rendong put down the teacup in his hand, frowned and thought. There is some truth to what Lian Qiao said.

    Last night Iwami Tsuru hinted that there was something special about him on the ninth floor, he always thought it meant the ancestral hall. But according to the old lady with little feet, Ishi Jianchuan had never entered the ancestral hall. Then the hint should not refer to the things in the ancestral hall.

    Maybe when Iwami Chuan wanted to enter the ancestral hall, he was also blocked by the old lady with little feet. But he was alone and did not dare to take risks lightly. So while everyone was exploring the tulou, they tried to lure the old lady away so that others could enter the ancestral hall.

    "However, will he be so kind?" Xu Rendong pondered, "I always feel that things will not be so simple."

    The two discussed the next steps. First of all, you have to find something to replace the crutches, otherwise even Mr. Qiao is so lame, if he is in danger, he can't run away. That ancestral hall has to figure out a way to enter it again. There is also a circular pool in the middle of the lower hall. The water is so deep and bottomless that it always makes people feel that there is something hidden underneath. For better or worse, you have to see it.

    Just as I was thinking so, there was a knock on the door.

    Xu Rendong pushed open the door with a "squeak", and saw a beautiful maid salute him, and said with a smile: "The master told me to tell the two of you that there are already After setting up the banquet, you must clean up the dust for the guests. Please don’t dislike the poor food, and be sure to be there.”

    Xu Rendong said "understood", then closed the door and returned.

    Lian Qiao pouted, "Who dares to eat this banquet?"

    Xu Rendong hadn't spoken yet, even Qiao tilted her head to think for a while, and muttered to herself: "But it's hard to say..."

    Xu Rendong: "Are you afraid that your body is out of control like last night?"

    Lian Qiao nodded.

    Xu Rendong said: "I can't escape if I should come. Let's go."

    When the two of them went out, they saw a person walking out of a room on the opposite earth building. That was one of the few survivors. The incident last night caused heavy losses to the entire team, and now there are only a dozen or so people left, and most of them are girls.

    Xu Rendong noticed that the rooms where people died had all disappeared. The original location of the door became a gray wall, as if the room never existed. The maids who were standing at the door were nowhere to be seen. So there are only a dozen or so rooms left in the entire nine-story tulou, which is extremely irregular from a distance.

    Compared with the neat red lanterns under the eaves, it looks even more bizarre, even in the daytime.

    Lian Qiao walked to the stairs, suddenly noticed something, turned around and said "Huh".

    Xu Rendong: "What's wrong?"

    Lian Qiao turned around and limped towards the railing. He raised his hand and touched the red lantern under the eaves: "Why doesn't this lantern light up?"
