Death Spiral [Infinite Flow]

Chapter 51: butterfly in stomach

    The exhibition ended successfully, but Xu Rendong couldn't help but think of the scene where Lian Qiao killed him. He didn't know what was wrong with him, was it because he was thinking too much about anxiety, or did something really happen between him and Lian Qiao?

    By the way, in the world of Russian nesting dolls, he suspected Lian Qiao from the very beginning. Even Joe can find all the nesting dolls accurately every time, as if he had read the script. At that time, he persuaded himself on the grounds that "Lian Qiao is good at playing games". Now that I think about it, it is still unreasonable.

    After all, who would treat this kind of thing as a game right away? This is a truly terrifying world where people will die.

    What is even more doubtful is that Lian Qiao switches back and forth between the two states when facing the ghosts. For a while, he was frightened to hiccups and trembling, and for a while he was able to pick up a crowbar and a ghost to be **** the front. The two states are completely different, like fine points.

    And even if a ghost is chasing him, even if he closes his eyes, he can accurately find the right path in the snow, and even can stumbling the ghost with his backhand. Maybe his so-called fear was faked, otherwise, how could he not take a wrong step?

    All in all, there is too much doubt about Lian Joe.

    However, at the very beginning, Xu Rendong personally rescued Lian Qiao. If he didn't take action, Lian Qiao would have died tragically under the hammer of Big Hammer.

    He didn't think that even Joe should be grateful to him for this, so as not to betray him. He just...

    How to say? The bird that he took out of the bird's nest with his own hands is always emotional. Even if the bird turned around and pecked at him, he was reluctant to throw the bird to death.

    …But what if instead of a bird, he rescued a frozen snake?

    Recalling Lian Qiao's murderous look when he held a dagger in his hand, Xu Rendong couldn't help but feel a chill from the bottom of his heart.

    What should I do?

    The conflicted mood lasted for a long time, and Xu Rendong never had an answer in her heart. Therefore, these days, he unknowingly avoided Lian Qiao and stayed in the company to work overtime as much as possible. In the eyes of colleagues in the office, Xu Rendong suddenly changed back to that iceberg. Not to mention ordering milk tea together, he even took lunch to the stairwell to eat alone, so that everyone began to look at Liu Jiaqi with suspicion, guessing if something happened between them.

    Liu Jiaqi: I am not! I do not have!

    It's Friday again, there's not much work to do, and colleagues are chattering about where to go for the weekend. Xu Rendong felt that he could not fit into this atmosphere, so he went home early.

     When I got home, it was very hot. He opened the windows, loosened his tie and sat on the sofa with his eyes closed. In the summer, the cicadas were noisy and hoarse and tireless, Xu Rendong leaned on the sofa and gradually fell asleep. When he woke up, it was still light outside. He looked at the time, it was six o'clock in the afternoon, and only twenty minutes had passed since he got home and sat down.

    I only slept for twenty minutes? I thought it had been a long time...

    Xu Rendong felt full of energy, he stood up and moved for a while, and suddenly felt that something was wrong.

    It was so quiet that there was no sound. What about cicadas?

    Intense unease hit him hard like a hammer. His heart was pounding until he walked to the window, looked out, and was finally sure that his fears had come true.

    On the road, all the traffic was still.

    People's faces still have the expressions of the moment before time stands still, or laughter, or irritability, but they are as still as nailed specimens. The more lifelike their expressions are, the more eerie they appear in this quiet world, as if everyone is a dummy model, and as if the dummies will all move in the next second.

    Xu Rendong heard her breathing gradually quicken. He turned around slowly, and finally, in the corner of the living room, he reluctantly saw the silver-white elevator.

    Didn't you say the next time is a month later? how…

    Oh, a month has come.

    Lian Qiao reminded him a few days ago that it was time to prepare for the dungeon. But he didn't respond immediately. He hadn't figured out how to face Lian Qiao, so this matter was put on hold.

    At this time, the elevator really appeared in front of him, and Xu Rendong suddenly panicked - even Qiao is not around, what should I do?

    He wasn't worried that he couldn't pass the level without Joe. For him, as long as he died a few more times, he could find a way out. But what about Lian Joe? !

    Xu Rendong immediately ran to the door and tried to turn the door handle, but the door handle was like a fake plastic toy and could not be turned. He took out his mobile phone again and wanted to call Lian Qiao, but soon found out in desperation that the mobile phone had no signal.

    What to do? Lian Qiao and he can't enter the same world, Lian Qiao may die there!

    Although he doubted Lian Qiao, he never thought that Lian Qiao would die!

    At this moment, Xu Rendong's inner panic has been replaced by remorse, he is extremely self-blame, and beat his own security door hard. There was a crisp bang on the door, obviously it wasn't the sound of the security door itself, but the invisible wall of air. The wall of air had completely cut him off from the outside world. He couldn't get out, and even Joe couldn't get in.

    Time has stood still and he is imprisoned here. All he could do was walk into his own elevator.

    He has no way to interfere in Lian Qiao's world.

    Xu Rendong took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down. Up to now, he can only hope that Lian Qiao can survive in the world over there.

    Xu Rendong walked to the elevator almost numbly, reached out and pressed the button. The silver-white button lit up, and soon, the elevator made a "ding" sound, and the silver-white metal door opened in front of him.

    Just as he was about to step into the elevator, the corner of his eye suddenly swept to a backpack under the coffee table.

    Wait, that's-

    Xu Rendong immediately retracted her legs, turned her head and ran to the coffee table. It was a large mountaineering bag, which was packed but not heavy.

    That is the backpack that Lian Joe prepared for him.

    Xu Rendong opened the zipper with a clatter, and saw that it was stuffed with food, dry food, snacks, water, and even a small bottle of Laoganma. In another compartment, there is a Swiss Army Knife, a flashlight, the brass key of unknown purpose, and…

    Lamia's eyes!

    Xu Rendong reached out and touched in the compartment, and finally only touched this eyeball. He finally felt at ease: This means that the other eyeball is with Lian Qiao, and they can contact him!

    Xu Rendong immediately equipped her eyeballs. After a brief period of discomfort, the vision of both eyes immediately split into two sides. On one side was the living room of the apartment he was in, and on the other side it was pitch black and he couldn't see anything.

    "Lian Qiao?" Xu Rendong tried to call, but there was no response.

    He hesitated for a moment, then packed his backpack and walked into the elevator. The elevator door closed behind, and the elevator moved quickly, making a slight vibration.

    The black vision of the left eye swayed, and soon, an identical silver-white elevator appeared.

    "Lian Qiao!" Xu Rendong was overjoyed. The fact that the eyeballs didn't respond just now was because time stood still. Before he stepped into the elevator, his time here stopped flowing, so even Joe in the outside world stood still for him. And once they entered the ghost world, they entered the same time again.

    The field of vision of the left eye rotates, as if watching the elevator. Xu Rendong waited patiently for a while, but even Qiao still didn't speak. He thought it was strange and tried to call out a few more times, but Lian Qiao remained silent.

    Xu Rendong had a bad idea in her heart. Before he could verify his guess, a mountaineering bag entered the left field of vision. Lian Qiao unzipped the mountaineering bag, took out his mobile phone from inside, and typed a line of words on the screen with his fingers.

    "Brother honeysuckle, fortunately you brought a backpack! Can you hear me?"

    Xu Rendong's heart sank, and she thought that was the case. He sighed, took out his mobile phone, and knocked on the answer: "I can't hear it."

    Lian Qiao: "It's over, we can only share vision." There is also a frustrated emoji.

    Xu Rendong saw that emoticon, and Lian Qiao's dejected appearance appeared vividly in front of him. His mood suddenly improved.

    Through Lamia's eyeballs, the time axis of the two ghost worlds can be connected together. In this case, once the time on his side is reset, even the time on Joe's side will follow Reset it.

    Xu Rendong gradually regained her senses. He calmed down, raised his head, and saw five words appearing out of thin air in front of him:

    "Butterfly in the stomach."

    That's it for this time.

    At the same time, he saw the hint on Lian Qiao's side: skeletoninthecupboard.

    Skull in the cupboard? What does it mean?

    Xu Rendong felt the left field of vision sway, Lian Qiao seemed very excited, and his fingers quickly typed on the phone: "Skull in the cabinet! I know this! It's part of the third volume of the new concept. Article!"

    Xu Rendong: "?"

    Lian Qiao: "It means that a seemingly normal family has a skeleton hidden in the cabinet. This is a British idiom, and the extended meaning is 'the unknown family ugliness'."

    Lian Qiao opened an encyclopedia app on her phone and started looking for "butterfly in the stomach". Soon, the search results appeared in front of Xu Rendong.

    Butterfliesinone in the stomach'sstomach: refers to the flapping of wings like a butterfly in the stomach, describing a constant feeling of fear, tension, anxiety, similar to the Chinese "seven" Up and down", "Uneasy". It can also be used to describe the feeling of rapid heartbeat when the heart is pounding, like "fawn ramming".

    After reading this explanation, the two fell into silence at the same time.

    Although the skeleton in the cabinet on Lian Qiao's side sounds bad, from a sensory point of view, the "butterfly in the stomach" on Xu Rendong's side is even more uncomfortable. Just looking at these words can make up the feeling of the butterfly flapping its wings in the stomach and stirring the gastric juice. Xu Rendong even felt that his stomach was itchy, as if a butterfly really had to come out of his throat.

    At the same time, the metal door in front of me made a "ding" sound. The door opened.

    Outside the door is a gloomy alley, the ground is full of rubbish, black dirty water flows out of the **** bag, flies are flying, and the stench is overwhelming. Above the head is a gray sky, which is very gloomy, making people feel depressed.

    In the left field of vision, Lian Qiao is facing a gorgeous retro Gothic castle. The castle stands on the edge of the wilderness, and behind it is a cliff. Beneath the cliff is the sea, the dark grey water roars and beats against the cliff, and the whole castle looks crumbling.

    In this way, neither side is much better.

    Even so, you must move forward. Xu Rendong took a deep breath and typed two words: "Let's go."

    The field of view on the left suddenly wobbled up and down rapidly.

    The visual fields of the left and right eyes are different, and this sense of splitting further exacerbates the vertigo. Xu Rendong was so dizzy that he almost vomited. He quickly realized that Lian Qiao was nodding.

    So he chose the quickest way to inform Lian Joe: he also nodded vigorously.

    Two seconds later, the field of view of the left eye becomes the ground. Immediately afterwards, a mass of vomit appeared on the ground.

    Xu Rendong: "..." Why did you vomit.

    The next second, a palm appeared in the left eye, quickly zoomed in, obscuring the field of vision. Left eye is black.

    Xu Rendong: “…”

    Lian Qiao is really considerate.

    The author has something to say:

    In the last chapter, many people asked why Lian Qiao imagined

    Because the honeysuckle is behind him, it is impossible for him to imagine himself going back in a 360-degree spiral to wear honeysuckle hahahahahahaha

    And, the author is really good at being locked.
