Death Spiral [Infinite Flow]

    This time even Joe was really stunned. The key is actually in Little Apple's hand?

    The key is actually in the hands of Xiao, Ping, Guo? !

    Why!

     Even Joe made no secret of his shock, and his face wrote "what are you, how can he entrust you with such an important prop". However, when Apple took out the shiny brass key from his pocket, Lian Qiao finally had to obey.

    Losing!

    Honeysuckle really hid the crucial key in a passerby like Little Apple!

    Say! How far has your relationship developed behind my back? !

    Lian Qiao dislocated her jaw in shock. Little Apple looked at the shit-eating expression on his face, only to feel that his revenge had been avenged, and he felt so relieved.

    Lian Qiao was holding the key, still feeling unreal, and asked Little Apple in a trance: "How could he give this to you..."

    "..." These words seemed to touch the softest part of Little Apple's heart, she unconsciously looked away, and the smile on her face gradually became stained with a hint of bitterness.

    "?" Lian Qiao looked at her suspiciously, "Could it be that you did some business behind your back?"

    Apple took a deep breath. Prepared mentally, he finally opened his eyes and stared at him fixedly.

    "Because I like you."

    Lian Qiao: "…"

    Little Apple gave an answer that even Qiao Wanwan didn't expect - it's not that he didn't know that Little Apple liked him, but he was surprised that Little Apple really confessed.

    As long as you don't confess, that's Schrödinger's love, not only him, but Little Apple also has room to maneuver and can withdraw at any time. But once confessed, everyone was embarrassed. Some relationships become sour once they become clear.

    Lian Qiao didn't know what to say. Seeing his stunned appearance, Little Apple seemed very satisfied, and then hit him with a second round of blows.

    "He knew I liked you, so he gave me the key, he was relieved. You can't find me. He thought I would never let you use the key."

    Lian Qiao was dumbfounded: "Then why did you change your mind again?"

    Little Apple smiled and admired his silly expression, but her eyes gradually became wet: "Because, I also want to go out. After all, I also want to go out."

    She repeated the phrase "thinking out" twice, emphasizing it deliberately, as if she was deliberately avoiding something.

    Lian Qiao was in a complicated mood.

    Sometimes he is very angry about why he is so sensitive, and he can accurately hear the outside voice of others.

    But what can he hear, he can't respond to the other party's feelings, the other party is uncomfortable, and he feels guilty. Why bother?

    …

    "It's not too late." Lian Qiao took a deep breath and pushed the complicated emotions out of his mind, "Lintong is about to end get out of class, I have to hurry up."

    Little Apple was taken aback: "Here? I've always been curious, how does this key work?"

    I saw Lian Qiao holding the key and twisting it in the air casually: "...just use it."

    Little Apple: "So casual!"

     Little Apple didn't finish complaining when she heard a "click" sound from the front of the key, like a box was opened. Then, the key fell to the ground like morning dew, smashed into tens of millions of points, and disappeared suddenly.

    Apple watched nervously. Lian Qiao raised his head slightly, spread out his palms, and caught a note that fell from the sky.

    "A clue?" Little Apple's eyes lit up, "A new clue?!"

    "Probably."

    "What's written on it?" Little Apple hurriedly came over.

    Lian Qiao glanced at him and his eyebrows twitched. Immediately show the note to Little Apple.

    "debug?" Little Apple read the words above, stunned, "Exclude bugs?"

     Even Qiao didn't answer, just read the note over and over. The paper is plain white paper, and words are the most common type of written print. Black and white, nothing but the five letters "debug".

    A small piece of paper that floats in the palm of your hand.

    Even Qiao and Xiao Apple are in a heavy mood.

    debug means to eliminate errors. It was originally a utility program on the computer for programmers to use to facilitate debugging. It can inspect bytes anywhere in memory and modify them.

    Lian Qiao and Little Apple reacted to this word because it has a special meaning in the game.

    Some games can directly call the internal debug program without tools. The debug program at this time is also called the "console". Players call it a console. Of course, it is not used to check whether the program is running for bugs, but to modify the game program.

    Simply put, it's a cheat.

    The two senior gamers knew this very well, but they never expected to see this familiar word in such a place.

    "Is this dungeon really a game?" Little Apple turned pale and muttered to herself, "Are we all in a virtual world? So old-fashioned?"

     Even Qiao did not speak, she continued to ask and answer herself.

    "No, people who die in the dungeon will die when they go out... Could it be that the world outside is virtual?"

    The more you think about it, the more confused you become. Little Apple stared blankly at Lian Qiao, hoping he could give him an answer.

     Even Joe was staring at the note and thinking. Suddenly, he didn't know what he saw, and the muscles at the corners of his eyes twitched slightly. Then he immediately put away the note, put his right hand in his pocket, and said lightly, "Go back first."

    Seeing that he turned away without any hesitation, Xiao Apple suddenly jumped in her heart.

    "Hey, you..." She was a little nervous, "Are you all right?"

    "It's fine."

    "The so-called price...?"

    Lian Qiao smiled: "I don't know. Anyway, I don't feel anything so far. Let's go, Rendong is about to end get out of class."

    Little Apple looked at his light smile, and his heart was shaken for a moment.

    Is Joe Lie? Is he really okay?

    …Could even Joe be lying from the start that using the key has no side effects at all? Is he lying to Xu Rendong?

    I don't understand. Little Apple felt a headache and decided not to.

     On their way to the hotel, the two were still discussing the note in a low voice.

    "This clue doesn't seem to have anything to do with Xu Rendong." Little Apple said, carefully observing the surroundings. There are already more college students on the road at this time, and I am afraid it is past the end of get out of class. Xu Rendong wondered if it would suddenly appear.

    Lian Qiao didn't answer, just fell into his own contemplation and muttered to himself.

    “debug…what happens after the bug is ruled out? Button or elevator? or…”

    Xiao Apple continued: "It's probably a button. Isn't there a clue to the elevator, 28 years old."

    "But why do you use the word 'debug'?" Lian Qiao frowned slightly, and then she figured it out.

    Because this is his key.

    After getting the key, his memory gradually awakened, and he knew that the key could only be used by himself. In other people's hands, this thing is just an ordinary metal block. Even if it turns out of thin air like he just did, it will not trigger any events.

    Correspondingly, he just happened to understand the clue to unlocking the key. If it is replaced by an ordinary person who does not play games, or if it is replaced by a programmer, there will be a different understanding.

    This thread was made just for him.

     Even Joe has a strange feeling: everything is arranged.

    So, what kind of ending are they arranged for?

    He unconsciously shook the right hand hidden in his pocket. No pain, no itching, nothing special. But I can clearly feel...

    His time is running out.

    Lian Qiao walked slowly towards the hotel. The sun was setting, and a soft gold was plated on his face. Although the mutation of his fingers continued, there was no worry in his eyes, he just took a deep breath and focused his attention back on the clues again.

    Think about it, what is the so-called bug?

    If everything is arranged... When it comes to bugs, the first thing he thinks of is honeysuckle.

    Honeysuckle is so weird. After entering this dungeon, his temperament changed greatly, and his mood was extremely unstable. He often does unreasonable and sensible things, and it can even be said that he has been hindering him from finding a way to clear the customs.

    In a word, it is ooc. outcharacter, the character collapses.

    Did—

    Lian Qiao suddenly had an absurd and terrifying thought. He thought for a moment, then turned to ask Little Apple, "Did you know Ren Dong before?"

    "Huh?" Little Apple didn't expect him to ponder this for a long time, and couldn't help but be surprised, but still replied, "I don't know."

    "You think about it carefully, you haven't met someone who is very similar to Honeysuckle on the Internet?" Lian Qiao guided, "For example, personality, voice, or work... You know what he does Is it?"

    "I know. Isn't he in finance?" Little Apple tilted his head to think for a moment, as if he had realized something, and immediately added, "But this is only known recently. After all, he said The elevator might show up downstairs at 10 p.m. on the day he turns 28."

    "Are you sure you haven't touched honeysuckle before?"

    "Sure. Your honeysuckle is so handsome, if I saw it, would I still remember it?"

    "…" indeed.

    Honeysuckle will leave a deep impression on the first-timers, both in appearance, shape and voice. Under the guidance of Lian Qiao, Xiao Apple still can't remember any contact with Honeysuckle. I'm afraid they really haven't met before entering the dungeon.

    That would be weird.

    Lian Qiao stopped, looked at Little Apple, and said in confusion, "Then why did he say you are a good person?"

    Xiao Apple was shocked: "Ha?! Am I not a good person?!"

    "No, that's not what I meant. I remember the first time he said this..." Lian Qiao unconsciously rubbed his temples and began to recall, "It was when he was in the orphanage. Teammate. After death."

    When debating whether to use the dean and children to fill the death index, Honeysuckle said that Little Apple is a good girl. At that time, even Joe felt very strange and didn't understand where the "good" came from.

    Because, before that, Little Apple had almost no role.

    And at that time, Honeysuckle was still small, and he was holding him in his hand every day, and he was inseparable from him, and there was no time to be alone with Little Apple.

    I didn't know each other before entering the dungeon, and after entering the dungeon, no special plot was triggered, so how did Ren Dong come to the conclusion that "Little Apple is a good girl"?

    Did you say…

    Lian Qiao couldn't help rubbing his temples, feeling that the answer was ready to come out. Seeing his frown, Little Apple couldn't help worrying: "You won't have a headache again, will you?"

    "It's okay. No... eh?"

    Lian Qiao originally wanted to say that it doesn't hurt, but he suddenly realized that this time it really doesn't hurt.

    He rubbed the back of his head in disbelief and shook his head again. Really, it doesn't hurt at all. In the past, every time I thought about things related to honeysuckle, the sharp pain of burning red iron wire burning my brain did not happen at this time.

    Why?

    Speaking of which, what exactly is that abnormal pain?

    The incentive he has been able to determine is "remembering things related to honeysuckle". If it's a disease it can't be triggered by this specific event, so it should still be related to the copy. is a specific mechanism.

    Why?

    …Wait, think the other way around. What happens after a headache attack?

    It will be painful, weak...will be forced to stop remembering and thinking...

    Yes! This is it!

    Lian Qiao's mind flashed, and she felt that all the clues were connected at once. He was overjoyed and excitedly said to Little Apple: "I see! I know what a bug is!"

    Little Apple's eyes also lit up, and was about to ask a question, but a cold and calm voice suddenly came from behind.

    "What are you doing?"

    Little Apple and Lian Qiao were startled and turned around at the same time. I saw Xu Rendong, who was holding a stack of books, came behind them at some point, and was staring at the two of them quietly.

    His eyes were as black as ink, making people unable to see the bottom and guess his emotions at a glance.

    Little Apple unconsciously stiffened, hesitating how to answer. Fortunately, Lian Qiao was very responsive, and happily greeted him: "Honeysuckle! I found a clue!"

    As he spoke, he showed him the note that read "debug" and explained, "This means 'bug exclusion'. You know the bug, it's just..."

    "Clue?" Honeysuckle's eyes moved slowly, focusing on Lian Qiao's face like a sniper scope, "Where did it come from?"

    "...I got it from the side quest!" Lian Qiao's heart was beating wildly, but he didn't dare to show any strangeness on his face, and tried to make a proud expression asking for praise, "It's the corner One of the old NPCs in here asked me to help him with errands and errands. After running, he praised me as a good person who respects the old and loves the young, so he sent me a clue! I told you that the NPC was well hidden, if I hadn’t observed it Powerful..."

    Honeysuckle just listens to his nonsense. His eyes moved down a little bit and landed on Lian Qiao's right hand, which was always hidden in his pocket.

    "You took the key?" asked Honeysuckle.

    Lian Qiao's pupils shrank slightly, and there was a momentary hesitation in the smile on his face.

    "No, no." Little Apple hurriedly came out to smooth things out, "Didn't he promise you not to use the keys, how could he be messed up by listening to you like this. I've been with him all afternoon. Together, I helped run errands on that branch, I'm exhausted..."

    Honeysuckle suddenly raised the corner of her mouth and cast a glance at Little Apple. That glance surprised Little Apple.

      Biting cold, unable to call for help, the despair of dying quietly on the seabed alone.

     Honeysuckle was clearly smiling, but his eyes were full of despair.

    "Where's the key?" he asked.

    The author has something to say: A machete warning ahead.

    he is coming, Mo Fang.
