Death Spiral [Infinite Flow]

Xu Rendong said: "Since the compass is given, it means..."

Lian Qiao: "The main mission is encouraging us to explore new maps."

When everyone heard the words, they all cast surprised glances, probably because they thought his way of expression was strange.Yuan Xueming nodded and said, "I understand what you mean. Originally, I also planned to go outside to see if there are other things. Now it would be better to have a compass."

The number of Russian nesting dolls in the real world is not fixed, ranging from five to a dozen.At present, there are only two in everyone's hands, and it is obvious that the mission is still far from being completed.Everyone agreed with Yuan Xueming's decision, so they stopped wasting time and went back to the house immediately, wrapped in thick winter clothes, and went out to explore with Yuan Xueming.

Xu Rendong handed the thick coat to Lian Qiao, but Lian Qiao waved his hand, indicating that he wanted to search the hut more carefully.Xu Rendong asked: "Didn't you look for it all?"

Lian Qiao said: "They have no experience, I'm afraid of missing something. So I want to search again...uh, check again."

After speaking, he began to search carefully in the house.Xu Rendong noticed that he was paying attention to inconspicuous corners, such as behind the refrigerator, under the cabinet, and even got under the table to see if there was anything stuck under the table.Anyway, the furniture that can be moved must be moved away, and the holes that can be drilled must not be missed.

Lian Qiao looked for it as soon as he looked for it, and kept talking while looking for it.Why is this table so light, it must not be made of solid wood. This cabinet is so dirty that there will be no cockroaches in it, and I can’t stop talking about it.Xu Rendong was able to answer the conversation at first, but later found that he was talking to himself, not talking to himself at all.

Probably this is an occupational disease. As a game anchor, you can't let the live broadcast room be silent.But that's fine, at the moment there are only the two of them in the huge hunter's hut, it's windy and snowy outside, and the doors and windows are closed inside, the atmosphere is actually quite depressing.What Lian Qiao said one after another made Xu Rendong feel more relaxed.

After such a blanket search, Lian Qiao really found the third nesting doll.This doll is hidden behind a curtain in the corner, so we didn't find it when we explored together.

"There is really something missing." Xu Rendong was very surprised.But if you think about it carefully, this position is very ingenious. No matter the curtain is opened or closed, it will just block the nesting doll. It is normal for everyone not to notice.

Lian Qiao smiled: "The hidden props are usually in such blind spots. If you are familiar with the routine, you can almost guess where they are."

Xu Rendong nodded, and reached out to catch the doll, but Lian Qiao said, "Brother Liandong, let me open this."

Xu Rendong: "Aren't you afraid of triggering the death condition?"

Lian Qiao said: "You can't let you bear it all by yourself, it's not fair."

Lian Qiao's three views are very upright, which is very flattering.Xu Rendong felt that saving him was really the right thing to do.

Lian Qiao unscrewed the doll, and inside was a key.

The only locked room in the house is the basement.Lian Qiao and Xu Rendong looked at each other, and both of them smiled.

The two successfully opened the basement and found that it was a dark storage room.Dust flew, choking people coughing.The sundries on the ground are piled up in a mess, light bulbs, crowbars, beer bottles... everything is there, but it doesn't look like it will be used for a while.

Lian Qiao was ecstatic, wishing to pick up everything and pack it away, muttering: "Oh, I knew I brought a backpack in, it's a loss, it's a loss of [-] million..."

Xu Rendong was helpless: "Are you collecting junk? What's the use of these things?"

Lian Qiao picked up the crowbar with a pious expression on his face: "Why is it useless! This is the holy sword of physics!"

Xu Rendong: "Physics what?"

"This is half... (Note)" Lian Qiao didn't know what to think of, and changed his words again, "Look, for example, if you encounter a box that cannot be opened, you can use a crowbar to pry it open; A crowbar can be used even to fight people and monsters, it is not only light, but also has high attack power, it is simply a magic weapon!"

Xu Rendong really didn't think about these functions.As a white-collar worker in an office, he has never seen a crowbar, let alone discovered 100 uses of a crowbar.

But even Joe, with his delicate skin and tender flesh, did not look like a man who used to do rough work with a crowbar.Xu Rendong thought for a while and asked, "You also learned this knowledge by playing games?"

"Yeah!" Lian Qiao smiled with eyebrows crooked, looking quite proud.He fell into that state of confusion and excitement again, and began to fumble here and there, looking like a kid who ran into a supermarket, looking at the dazzling array of products on the shelves, wanting to stuff everything into the shopping cart.Xu Rendong thought that these rags might be really useful, so he didn't ask any more questions, instead he took out his phone and turned on the flashlight to illuminate him.

Soon, Lian Qiao discovered the new world again.

"Sure enough, there is a ladder!" He bent down and picked up a ladder from the ground, but his fingers were still hooked on the crowbar and refused to let it go, looking precarious.

Xu Rendong couldn't stand it any longer, and stretched out his hand, "Let me get the crowbar."

"Okay!" Lian Qiao smiled happily, carrying the ladder up the stairs happily.Seeing his eagerness to try, Xu Rendong wondered, "Where are you going?"

Lian Qiao said: "I saw a bird's nest outside the house last night, and there may be nesting dolls in it. I'll climb up to have a look."

Xu Rendong was taken aback.Following Lian Qiao to the outside of the house, sure enough, there was a bird's nest on a big tree outside the yard.

They were chased by Brother Sledgehammer all the way last night, running until they coughed out their lungs, and even Joe still had the heart to notice the bird's nest?Then his observation skills are really meticulous and terrifying.

It's like reading a script...

By the way, this morning, when I peeked at him, he also woke up suddenly... Is he simply sensitive, or is he pretending to be asleep on purpose?

Xu Rendong felt an uncomfortable feeling in his heart, and couldn't help but look around, trying to find some evidence to deny his guess.Soon, he breathed a sigh of relief.

——The room they lived in last night was facing this tree, and anyone who looked out of the window could see the bird's nest at a glance.

Discovering this, Xu Rendong felt inexplicably relieved.At this time, Lian Qiao had already set up the ladder and climbed up the tree.As soon as he reached the top of the tree, he shouted excitedly: "Brother Lonicera! There really is! Dangdang~ Let's get the fourth doll!" He took out the doll from the bird's nest and dangled happily.

When he swayed, even the ladder swayed.Xu Rendong hurriedly supported the ladder, and said helplessly: "You come down first, be careful."

"Oh." Lian Qiao laughed, step by step, carefully returned to the ground.

This time there are two candies in the nesting doll.It looks like candies that can be seen everywhere, and the glass candy paper reflects the dreamy light.It feels hard inside, and I don't know if I can eat it.

"The things opened in the previous two nesting dolls all guide the direction of the next nesting doll," Lian Qiao was deep in thought, "What does this candy suggest?"

Xu Rendong thought for a while and asked, "In your games, what is this kind of thing usually used for?"

Lian Qiao looked at him, thinking of something, those clear eyes bent into crescents again with a smile.

"Usually it's blood recovery," he said, "it can also be given to others as a gift to increase their favorability."

Xu Rendong thought for a moment, but still had no idea.Lian Qiao said: "It happens to be two candies, let's each carry one with us, maybe it will be useful in the future."

Xu Rendong agreed.

The interior of the house has been explored almost, it is still early, and the snow has stopped, the two decided to follow the footprints to find other companions.After walking in the snow for an unknown amount of time, until Xu Rendong became bored with the constant whiteness, a dilapidated church finally appeared in front of him.The architectural style of the church is very unique. It is not a Gothic spire or a Byzantine dome, but a top with a round bottom, a sharp top, and painted threads all over the body.

"It's like kisses chocolate..." Lian Qiao swallowed.

Xu Rendong recalled the "History of Western Architecture" he read in college: "This should be a Russian-style church. I remember it is called... War Helmet Top."

"Russia again?" Lian Qiao rubbed his chin and fell into thought. "So many details point to Russia, what exactly does it mean?"

Xu Rendong shook his head: "I can't guess. Let's take a step and see."

When the two walked into the church, the first thing they saw was a huge Jesus cross.Jesus on the cross was haggard and bowed his head, his hands and feet were nailed with iron nails. Looking carefully, there seemed to be dried blood.This church is very large, and there seem to be other rooms at the back.Yuan Xueming took a few people and just came out from inside, and was a little surprised to see the two of them.

When Xu Rendong talked about the matryoshka, Yuan Xueming was even more surprised, and praised Lian Qiao.The team members who explored separately also came back one after another, Yuan Xueming said: "We also found a nesting doll here, is this the fifth one?"

"What's inside? Quickly open it and have a look?" The most anxious man started to urge again, Xu Rendong remembered that this man's name was Zhao Lin.Zhao Lin's face was full of anxiety, but he didn't move, he just cast his eyes on Xu Rendong.

It seems that even if someone has already set a precedent, everyone is unwilling to do it themselves.

This is also human nature.Xu Rendong didn't think much, took the doll and unscrewed it.There were actually two more candies inside.

Everyone was surprised: "Huh? It's sugar again?" "Why is it the same as the one opened in the fourth one?"

Xu Rendong noticed that Lian Qiao's face changed slightly, so he leaned over and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"

Lian Qiao sighed: "Too bad, there must be supplies before the war..."

Xu Rendong: "?"

Lian Qiao said: "I feel that something will happen soon..." He sighed again, "I hope I'm thinking too much. Anyway, be careful."

Everyone was still studying candies, but Lian Qiao had already walked to Yuan Xueming, saying that he wanted to go back early.Yuan Xueming saw that the sky was getting late, nodded in agreement, and turned around to announce the return trip to everyone.At this time, he seemed to be the leader of the team, and everyone had no objection to his decision.

Unexpectedly, when the door was opened, everyone's expressions sank.It was snowing heavily outside.

It was still sunny when they came, but now the wind was howling and the snow was flying.The thick snow particles hit the face and even hurt a little, so it is really not suitable for traveling.

Lian Qiao looked at the heavy snow and was unhappy.Xu Rendong asked in a low voice: "Is this what you are worried about?"

Lian Qiao nodded.Xu Rendong asked again: "What will happen when it snows?"

Lian Qiao replied in a low voice: "I don't know. But there must be nothing good in Xueli."

Xu Hong folded her arms, her voice trembling slightly: "Why don't we leave when the snow is a little lighter..." She is a woman with little clothes, so naturally she doesn't want to go out in such a heavy wind and snow.

Yuan Xueming pondered: "If you don't leave, it will be dark. Then we won't be able to go back tonight."

Someone suggested: "Why don't you just stay here for the night, it's a church after all, maybe it's safer than our hunter's hut..."

Before he finished speaking, a girl screamed, "Look! Jesus looks like he's bleeding!"

Everyone turned their heads in unison, and saw that Jesus' limbs were crucified and bleeding began to flow.The blood flowed down the cross and formed a dark red blood pool under the statue, which made people feel very disturbed.

Lian Qiao said: "It's over, Jesus can't bear it anymore, it seems that the ghosts here are stronger than gods."

Everyone's complexion is not very good.Yuan Xueming said: "Let's go."

This time everyone stopped talking, just wrapped their coats tightly and followed Yuan Xueming silently.Before leaving, Qiao Lian turned his head and took a deep look at the church.Xu Rendong asked: "What's wrong?"

Lian Qiao: "It's a pity that I didn't bring the beer bottle in the basement with me, otherwise I could get some blood back, maybe it would be useful. The blood of Jesus, it sounds like an important prop."

Xu Rendong: "..."

Lian Qiao said again: "However, Jesus himself was bled to the point of bleeding, and the blood probably won't be of much use. Forget it, let's slip away."

Xu Rendong: "..."

The sky outside was gray, and the snow particles were flying like a mist.Yuan Xueming walked in the front with a compass in his hand.Everyone tensed their nerves to fight against the biting cold.No one spoke, only the whistling wind and snow remained in my ears.

The atmosphere became very chilling.Lian Qiao came close to Xu Rendong, rubbed his eyes and said, "Brother Liandong, I can't see the way clearly."

Xu Rendong didn't speak.He also felt that his eyes were foggy, gray and white everywhere, and even his companions who were close at hand were somewhat blurred.After thinking for a while, he grabbed Lian Qiao's arm: "Follow me closely."

Lian Qiao showed gratitude, as if he had grasped a life-saving straw, he immediately hugged his hand.Xu Rendong only felt warmth in his hands - he didn't wear gloves, even Qiao's hug made him feel a lot warmer.

At the same time, he suddenly noticed that although Lian Qiao looked thin, the muscles on his arms were very strong, not the thin otaku he had imagined.It feels warm and firm, like a big golden retriever.

I don't know if it was because it was too cold, but both of them felt their limbs were stiff and they couldn't walk.Seeing the companion in front getting farther and farther away, Lian Qiao shouted: "Wait for us!" But the companion ignored them and walked forward without saying a word.

Lian Qiao panicked and tried his best to catch up with them.Even though the speed has increased, the distance between him and his companions has not decreased.Xu Rendong immediately reacted: "There is something wrong with this snow, don't waste your energy."

Lian Qiao was out of breath, and watched helplessly as the figure of his companion disappeared from sight.Lian Qiao hugged his arm tightly, and said anxiously: "Brother Liandong, I'm a little scared."

Xu Rendong had already been frozen to death once, and he knew very well what would happen if he got lost in the snow.He himself was also nervous, but as the elder, he still comforted him: "Don't be afraid, hold me tight."

"Yeah." Lian Qiao stuck closer to him, but the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and a smile that couldn't be hidden was smudged in his eyes.

The author has something to say:

Note: "This is half...": The reason why the crowbar is called the holy sword of physics is mainly because it first appeared in the game "Half-Life".The protagonist of the game, Dr. Gordon Freeman, is an invincible doctor of physics. He is only a thin scholar in name, but in the game he can fight in and out surrounded by thousands of soldiers, which is better than Zhao Zilong. It’s still powerful (player complains: This is unscientific! What must have been unlocked?), and his signature weapon is a crowbar (player complains: that crowbar must be a holy sword with an attack power of 999). This meme spreads After reading it, it is often quoted in other animations, such as "Sneak!Naiyazi, the heroine of Naiyazi, especially likes crowbars, and the color and shape are exactly the same as those used by Dr. Freeman.Naiyako also likes to refer to this crowbar as an "indescribable stick-like object", which basically appears once in every episode of animation. *The above popular science is copied and pasted from the Internet.In the article, Lian Qiao originally wanted to explain this game stalk, but because he felt that Lonicera might not be interested, he changed his words.
