Death Spiral [Infinite Flow]

Chapter 13: matryoshka

Lian Qiao said this, Xu Rendong and Yuan Xueming cast a surprised look at him at the same time.

Lian Qiao continued: "This nesting doll in the snow has no marks around it. I have seen it, and the trees around the nesting doll are also very ordinary, without any features. That is to say This nesting doll is completely randomly distributed in the snow. We were really, really lucky to find it. But this luck cannot be replicated. If the other nesting dolls are like this, even if there is only one , then we will never find a nest of dolls... Do you understand what I mean?"

Xu Rendong nodded, Yuan Xueming was silent. Lian Qiao said: "Also, there are ghosts in the nesting dolls, which I have never encountered before."

Yuan Xueming said: "It's fine if you don't open it?"

. Now there is a probability that props that are helpful to us will be opened in the nesting doll, and there may also be a trap. But before the nesting doll was opened, none of us knew what was inside, and if it was a trap, there was no way to avoid it. "

Xu Rendong suddenly moved in his heart and asked, "Lian Qiao, do you remember the sledgehammer who guarded the youngest nesting doll? If we prepare in advance, we may be able to avoid the trap."

In this reincarnation, it is another person in the team who picks up the smallest nesting doll. Xu Rendong and the others did not encounter Brother Sledgehammer directly, but from the statements of other teammates, we learned that Brother Sledgehammer this time was the same as last time, and he stopped chasing after a while.

Lian Qiao understood: "I know what you want to say. Brother Sledgehammer belongs to the treasure guard. It has a defensive range, even if the treasure is stolen, as long as you get away from him The hatred will disappear within the defensive range." He paused and sighed helplessly, "But this time is different. This kind of ghost that immediately kills people as soon as they come out, belongs to killing at first sight. Killing at first sight is true. I can't hide, even if it's me..."

Lian Qiao has the best physical fitness and the fastest reaction on the spot in the entire team. He witnessed the process of the black fog killing people with his own eyes, and knew how terrifying the traps in the nesting dolls were. Since even he can't escape, there is no way anyone in the team can do it.

There are a lot of game terms in his words, Xu Rendong can still understand it, Yuan Xueming is confused. Just when Qiao explained to Yuan Xueming, Xu Rendong had an idea in his heart: since he couldn't escape from the first sight, wouldn't it be better for him to open the nesting dolls in the future?

Anyway, after he dies, he can be reborn, and every time the world is reset, the items in the same nesting doll are fixed. He really is not the heart of the Virgin Mary, sacrificing himself to help others, but he also wants to leave this ghost world early.

He's been stuck here for too long. So many death resets made him experience more horror and pain than anyone else. If it goes on, I'm afraid he will collapse himself. So he frankly presented his ideas.

As soon as Xu Rendong finished speaking, the expressions of Yuan Xueming and Lian Qiao changed.

Lian Qiao immediately said: "No!" The tone was firm and decisive, and there was no room for negotiation.

Xu Rendong calmly said: "Now everyone knows that there will be ghosts in the nesting dolls, and no one will dare to open the nesting dolls in the future. But this kind of thing always has to be done by someone, we can't sit still ."

Even Qiao said: "That can't be all on you, it's not fair."

Xu Rendong: "It doesn't matter, I don't care."

Lian Qiao was suddenly very excited: "I care!"

Xu Rendong glanced at Lian Qiao in surprise. He found that even though Lian Qiao had a tough attitude at this time, there was a strong unease in his eyes. He thought about it and felt that there was only one reason why Lian Qiao's reaction was so fierce, and that was because he was afraid that no one would protect him if he died. So he reassured: "Don't worry, if something happens to me, Brother Yuan will cover you." He turned his head and glanced at Yuan Xueming, "That's right, Brother Yuan."

Yuan Xueming nodded: "You can rest assured. But I don't understand why you do this?"

Xu Rendong didn't speak yet, even Qiao grabbed his hand on his head and said angrily: "I'm not worried about this! It's not fair, you know? Everyone wants to go out , why should you take the risk alone? Does sacrificing yourself make you great?"

The more Qiao talked, the more excited he became, even the circles of his eyes were slightly red. He was obviously angry, but because of this slightly fragile demeanor, he seemed aggrieved enough to cry.

Xu Rendong suddenly felt very incomprehensible. He didn't understand what Lian Qiao was wronged? What is he mad at?

Isn't there no memory of the past? To him, he was just a stranger who met by chance. Why did he react so much?

"

Xu Rendong sighed: "Why? I have my own reasons."

Lian Qiao's eyes were red, but his eyes were firm: "I also have my reasons."

Xu Rendong said: "Trust me, I have a way to save my life. I won't have an accident."

Lian Qiao: "I don't!"

Xu Rendong was helpless.

Yuan Xueming watched the two of them silently, and suddenly laughed: "I really don't understand you. Now there are thirteen people left in our team, but there are only six nesting dolls. Since The condition for the rabbit to kill is that there is no nesting doll on his body, so the remaining seven people should rush to open the nesting doll, otherwise why should the newly found nesting doll be given to them? So why are you rushing to get ahead?"

partner?"

Xu Rendong frowned and touched his neck involuntarily. He thought of Jiang Li, who had murdered him.

Yuan Xueming spread his hands and said: "It's almost the same. Anyway, there are still four days left in the time limit. If you can't find the nesting dolls, everyone will die in the end, but it's a matter of sooner or later. Bar."

There is no result in this discussion. In the end, it is up to everyone to decide. So the three returned to the team in silence, and told everyone what they had just discussed. Everyone was silent after hearing this, and the already depressing atmosphere became even more chilling at this time. The seven people who didn't have a nesting doll so far all stared at Yuan Xueming.

Yuan Xueming said: "I know what you are thinking. I don't think everyone has the heart to look for new nesting dolls anymore. Let's go back today."

It started to snow again on the way back, but fortunately it was light snow this time. The fine snowflakes floated on the face and quickly melted. When everyone returned to the hunter's hut, a thin layer of ice had formed on the eyebrows.

But everyone's heart is colder than the body.

After lighting the fireplace, Yuan Xueming generously took out four nesting dolls. He took out the one he found and gave the other two to their respective discoverers. The finder of the fourth nesting doll had already been twisted into a twist, so he let the remaining seven people guess the box and decide the outcome, and the last one who won would keep the nesting doll.

Afterwards, Yuan Xueming announced that if he finds another nesting doll in the future, it will belong to the discoverer. But the discoverer has the right to gift the nesting doll to others.

Everyone has no opinion on this, just tacit understanding of each other. There was also a trace of precaution in the eyes that looked at each other.

Yuan Xueming did not mention the two nesting dolls that Xu Rendong and Lian Qiao kept private, which greatly reduced the threat to them from teammates. Xu Rendong was very grateful for this, but still did not dare to regard Yuan Xueming as a partner.

After a day's trek, everyone is tired. Xu Rendong returned to the house, only to feel that all the muscles in his body were sore. He sat on the edge of the bed and kneaded his calves to relax his body.

Lian Qiao went to the kitchen to boil two cups of hot milk and served it, as if he wanted to have a long talk with him. But seeing Xu Rendong's exhausted face, he dismissed the idea and sullenly lay down and went to sleep with him.

After going to bed, he kept tossing and turning, and he couldn't fall asleep even after the biological clock passed. Xu Rendong fell asleep very early. Until midnight, he was awakened by a shrill scream. The two bounced off the bed almost simultaneously.

"Is it Jiang Li and the others?" Lian Qiao looked at the door with a hint of unbearable expression.

"Well." Xu Rendong said, "the two of them still don't have nesting dolls."

Lian Qiao was silent. The two sat side by side on the bed, and heard the screams of women, the growls of men, the chaotic footsteps, and the sound of tables and chairs overturning from the room not far away. This series of noises is particularly harsh in this silent night. No one has proposed to save people. After all, the two of them know better than anyone how small their own strength is in front of ghosts.

Lian Qiao pricked her ears for a while, and suddenly called out in a low voice, "Brother Honeysuckle."

Xu Rendong said: "Don't be afraid, I'm here."

Lian Qiao said: "I'm not afraid, I'm thinking about what you said during the day. You looked like you were ready to die at that time. Isn't there anything in this world worthy of your nostalgia? Is it something? I don't mean here, I mean the real world outside."

Xu Rendong was silent. He suddenly realized that what Lian Qiao said might not be wrong.

He is an orphan and grew up in a welfare center. Because of his excellent grades, he completed his studies with a scholarship. After graduating from college, he successfully entered a financial company. On the surface, the wind is bright and the wind is smooth, but every day when he returns home, facing the empty apartment, he always feels empty in his heart.

No one is waiting for him to return. Maybe even if he died here quietly, no one would care.

Although he has a stoic character, he is still lonely in his heart after being alone for so many years.

Lian Qiao suddenly said, "But I don't want you to die."

Xu Rendong was taken aback for a moment, and even Qiao said: "It may be funny to say it. We have only known each other for two or three days, but I think you are very familiar... We may have met somewhere, but we both forget?"

He turned his head and stared at Xu Rendong with a puzzled, inquiring and expectant look.

Xu Rendong looked at him and thought, you forgot, I didn't.

"But if we see each other often, maybe one day we'll be able to think of it?" Lian Qiao looked at him seriously, "It's like a treasure hidden when I was a child, it's completely different when I grow up. I remember it, but there is always a chance to turn it over. Then I looked at it, hey, I liked it so much at that time... I will always remember it. And this kind of lost and found experience, isn't it interesting?"

Xu Rendong smiled, the little bitterness in her heart suddenly disappeared. He pulled the quilt: "Let's talk when we go out."

Lian Qiao rolled her eyes: "Yeah."

When Xu Rendong closed his eyes, he felt that the mass of warmth was very close to him.

He slept very well that night.
