Death Spiral [Infinite Flow]

Xu Rendong ran wildly in the corridor with his broken arm in his arms, while Zhong Xiu held a bone saw and wobbled after him.

Although Zhong Xiu walked slowly, he was full of murderous intent, Xu Rendong only felt that the light was on his back, and he didn't dare to make mistakes.He ran to the end of the corridor, where there was an escape door.Xu Rendong almost slammed into it, but the door didn't move at all.

locked?

When he looked up, he saw that the light on the escape route was red, and he couldn't help cursing secretly.

Zhong Xiu had already followed behind him, Xu Rendong only felt the chill on his back.As soon as he turned around, he saw Zhong Xiu holding up the bone saw and slashing at him with resentment.

With his back pressed against the escape door, Xu Rendong had nowhere to escape.

It's over!The boss who has no power to restrain the chicken will be beaten to death by the player!

In desperation, Xu Rendong suddenly had a flash of inspiration—wait, I'm the boss!I will teleport!

Just when the bone saw was about to chop off his head, Xu Rendong closed his eyes and urged his thoughts.Sure enough, in the next second, he had already appeared at the other end of the corridor.

Zhong Xiu chopped the air with a saw, and couldn't help being surprised.Looking at it again, the man disappeared out of thin air, and appeared in a place more than ten meters away from him out of thin air.Zhong Xiu frowned slightly, picked up the bone saw and chased after him again.

Xu Rendong didn't dare to confront her head-on, he saw an open ward and rushed in without hesitation.When entering the room, he locked the lock with his backhand, quickly observed the room environment, and then ducked under the bed.

Not long after, Zhong Xiu kicked the door open.Xu Rendong lay on the ground, feeling a slight itching at the broken arm.The broken arm has grown back.

As expected of a boss, it's really convenient.Xu Rendong sighed in his heart. In the past, he hated this kind of boss who couldn't be beaten to death and could be reborn after a while. Now he knows how cool this regeneration ability is.

However cool is useless.While Xu Rendong was in a daze, a loud noise suddenly exploded above his head.Xu Rendong turned pale with shock, and instinctively rolled to the side, only to see that the hospital bed where he had just hidden had been split in half.

Is Zhong Xiu so cruel!

When Xu Rendong raised his head, he happened to meet Zhong Xiu's eyes.With a sad expression, she walked towards Xu Rendong step by step holding the bone saw.

"Why kill them? They are still so young and have a bright future waiting for them..."

Xu Rendong opened his mouth, but before he could explain, his eyes went dark, and the bone saw slashed at him again.He quickly dodged and rolled on the spot in embarrassment, narrowly avoiding this blow.Zhong Xiu missed a single blow, leaning on the wall and began to pant.It can be seen that she is very weak, and she is acting entirely out of hatred.

The exit of the ward was blocked by her, Xu Rendong couldn't escape, so he gritted his teeth and rushed into the bathroom of the ward.

This bathroom is a dead end.Zhong Xiu kicked the door hard, threatening: "I'll count to 123, if you don't come out again, I'll break the door in."

Xu Rendong: "..." How do you feel that I am a primary school student who failed the exam and was chased and beaten by my mother?

Zhong Xiu: "1, 2..."

Xu Rendong looked at the toilet in front of him, and suddenly had an idea.

Zhong Xiu: "3!"

boom!The heavy object hit the door so hard that the door frame shook.Xu Rendong quickly dodged, and heard another loud bang, and saw that half of the bone saw was stuck in the door, and Zhong Xiu forcibly opened the door.

... Do you terminal cancer patients still have such great strength?

Time is running out.Xu Rendong turned around to face the mirror, took a deep breath, closed his eyes and wiped his face.When he opened his eyes again, his appearance had changed.

He turned himself into Lian Qiao.Looking at the familiar face in the mirror, Xu Rendong immediately felt at ease.

Zhong Xiu was still banging on the door, splitting a big hole in it.She pulled out the bone saw from the door opening and was about to look inside.Xu Rendong pressed the toilet flush button, pretended to be impatient and cursed: "What's the rush! What's the rush to get on the tuba!"

Zhong Xiu was taken aback.Xu Rendong was also taken aback for a moment - he was not used to making Lian Qiao's voice out of his own throat.It feels weird.

Xu Rendong plucked up his courage, took the initiative to open the door and went out, glared at Zhong Xiu and said, "Are you in such a hurry! You can't wait for so long!"

Lian Qiao's voice was too soft, even with such an angry tone, it still sounded like a coquettish, making people feel that he was easy to bully.

Zhong Xiu: "???"

She looked in the bathroom, then at the bloody bone saw in her hand, and was dazed by this sudden turn.

"Who are you?" Zhong Xiu asked blankly.

"I'm here with a friend to visit the patient." Xu Rendong pretended to be careless, and quietly glanced at Zhong Xiu from the corner of his eye.Zhong Xiu frowned slightly, as if feeling something was wrong.But after all, she was in a dream, and her reason was not online, so she accepted this reality.

"Oh." Zhong Xiu nodded, and the sleepy expression returned to her face.She threw the bone saw away, and walked out like a wandering spirit.

"Hello!" Xu Rendong called to stop her.Following Lian Qiao's example, he looked at Zhong Xiu with innocent and harmless eyes, "I'm lost, can you do me a favor and take me to the elevator?"

Zhong Xiu agreed.The two walked out of the ward and passed the nurse's station.Zhong Xiu glanced at the empty nurse's station, and said casually, "Why is there no one in the nurse's station?"

Xu Rendong's heart tightened, for fear that she would remember what happened just now.Fortunately, Zhong Xiu said to himself again: "Maybe I went to rescue..."

As soon as the words fell, there were noisy voices from the ward beside him.

"Push the adrenaline!"

"What's your blood pressure?"

"Blood pressure is still dropping!"

"Give another shot of Nicothami! The dopamine pump is turned up! Call the interns to come over and prepare for CPR!"

Zhong Xiu and Xu Rendong stood at the door of the ward, watching a large group of white coats busy.The patient on the hospital bed was ashen-faced, and a lot of instruments around him were beeping.

Xu Rendong was a little surprised.He passed by this ward when he was escaping just now, but there was no one in it.It wasn't until Zhong Xiu said, "Maybe he went for rescue", that patients and medical staff appeared out of nowhere.It seems that Zhong Xiu's ability to control dreams is far superior to him, no wonder he can't beat Zhong Xiu.

It's not his food, it's Zhong Xiu who is really good.

Zhong Xiu looked at it for a while, and murmured: "Don't save me, the chest compressions hurt so much, the ribs are all broken."

Xu Rendong was taken aback: "Can chest compressions break ribs?"

Zhong Xiu smiled, but didn't answer, just said: "Don't look, let's go." Then he walked towards the escape exit.

Xu Rendong followed.When I came to the door of the escape passage, I looked up and saw that the escape sign on it was still bright red.Xu Rendong said: "This door is locked, do you have the key?"

Zhong Xiu said: "You don't need a key, just press this button." She stretched out her hand and pressed a white button on the wall.The escape sign on the door instantly turned green.

It turned out to be like this...

Xu Rendong seldom goes to the hospital, and he really didn't know that the hospital passageway has this kind of electronic lock.

The door opens, and behind it is the escape elevator.Xu Rendong's eyes lit up.Zhong Xiu said: "Okay, go down by yourself." After saying that, he wanted to go back.

Xu Rendong grabbed her tightly: "You can go with me. You will die if you stay here."

Zhong Xiu looked at him and suddenly laughed: "I know."

Xu Rendong was taken aback.

Zhong Xiu pointed to the sign of the oncology department outside the escape elevator, and said, "Everyone who comes here will inevitably die in the end."

Xu Rendong said: "That's not what I mean. As long as you get out of this elevator with me, you can live for a few more days."

Zhong Xiu smiled and shook his head.Xu Rendong wanted to persuade him, but Zhong Xiu took out a pack of cigarettes and asked him, "Do you smoke?"

Xu Rendong frowned: "You are so sick, you still smoke?"

Zhong Xiu shrugged indifferently: "I'm going to die anyway, why do you care about this?" She lit a cigarette by herself, walked to the window, and looked at the scenery outside.From here, you can actually see the bustling traffic outside, a bustling scene.

Zhong Xiu was so skinny that the smallest hospital gown was too big for her.Seen from behind, she looked like a bad girl who skipped class and came out to smoke.It's just that the side face is too pale, without the ruddy complexion of a young girl.On the contrary, it added a bit of sickness and delicateness to her.

Xu Rendong was silent for a moment, then stretched out his hand to her: "Give me one too. Tell me, why don't you want to leave?"

Zhong Xiu smiled and passed the cigarette over: "Because I don't want to live for a long time. You may not believe it, I have never had good luck in my life. The first half of my life is a disgrace to my family, and the second half is a burden to others. I have worked hard , I also struggled, but it was useless. In the end, I ran here."

She pointed to the "Oncology" sign on the wall, still smiling softly on her face: "I don't want to suffer anymore, so let's give up handsomely."

Xu Rendong asked: "Is there nothing in this world worthy of your nostalgia?"

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, his heart skipped a beat.He suddenly remembered that a long time ago, even Joe asked him this sentence: Is there nothing in this world worthy of your nostalgia?

At that time, in order to leave the dungeon as soon as possible, he offered to risk himself.Joe Lian said he looked as if he was ready to die, as if he was no longer attached to anything.

...What a sarcasm.

Xu Rendong thought bitterly.It turns out that I am so similar to her.

I was lucky to meet Lian Qiao.And her misfortune is that she has never been able to wait for someone who can save her.

Xu Rendong took a deep breath, looked at Zhong Xiu, and said seriously: "You still have a son."

Zhong Xiu shook her head: "Forget it, I already owe him so much, why bother him?"

Xu Rendong: "Money is not a problem, he has savings."

Zhong Xiu smiled softly: "He still wants to get married..."

Xu Rendong pursed his lips and lit the cigarette.After taking a deep breath, he plucked up the courage and said, "He...will never get married. He is gay."

Zhong Xiu was not surprised, but instead showed a very loving smile to Xu Rendong: "Actually, I have already seen it, you are his object?"

Xu Rendong shook his hand and dropped the cigarette.

He hurried to pick it up, only then remembered that he had changed into Lian Qiao's appearance.It turned out that Zhong Xiu had already seen it?He thought they were perfectly disguised...

Xu Rendong coughed.Through the glass, he sees his own reflection.He faced Lian Qiao's face, and responded softly in Lian Qiao's voice: "...um."

Zhong Xiu admired his slightly red side face, and praised generously: "His eyesight is really good."

Xu Rendong: "..."

Zhong Xiu: "You have good vision too, you are a good match."

Xu Rendong: "..." This topic is really embarrassing.

Xu Rendong couldn't answer, so he forcibly changed the subject: "Don't talk about this. Since you know who I am, just listen to me and come with me."

Zhong Xiu let out a long sigh, and said softly, "People are always going to die. I have no courage or strength to live any longer. Why do you force me?"

Xu Rendong turned his head sideways.Zhong Xiu smiled slightly: "I have been at the mercy of others all my life, and now at the end of my life, let me be the master for myself, okay?"

Xu Rendong stared at her silently, no despair and depression could be seen on her face, only calm and indifferent.She was not driven to a dead end by illness, nor was she robbed of hope by fate.She is just tired.

Xu Rendong suddenly understood why in the previous dream, she couldn't find an elevator everywhere - because she was begging for death.

She never wanted to leave, and she never thought she would be saved.So in her dream, there will never be a way out.

"...Okay." Xu Rendong sighed, "If this is your final decision, I respect you."

"Thank you." The smile in Zhong Xiu's eyes was as gentle as the Milky Way.

Xu Rendong turned his head away and stopped looking at her.The smoke in his hand had burned to the end, and his fingertips were burning.He put out his cigarette and said, "Then I'm leaving."

"Wait, there is one more thing to ask of you." Zhong Xiu suddenly remembered something, and untied something from his neck, "Please help me pass this to him."

Xu Rendong took it, and looked down, it was a small longevity lock.The lock body is dark gold and looks very old, even the corners are a little worn.It looks like it has been worn close to the body for many years.

Xu Rendong's heart trembled slightly, and he asked, "Did you prepare this for him when he was born?"

Zhong Xiu: "No. This is a special item I found in the last dungeon."

Xu Rendong: "..."

The emotion in his heart dissipated in an instant, and he coughed awkwardly: "Okay, I will thank you for him."

Zhong Xiu pressed the elevator button and said with a smile, "Let's go."

The elevator door opened in front of the two of them, Xu Rendong held the longevity lock tightly in his palm, and walked into the elevator alone.

Zhong Xiu smiled and watched the elevator slowly close.Xu Rendong looked down at the long life lock, and suddenly became suspicious. He reached out to stop the elevator and asked, "Since you don't want to live anymore, why didn't you just give up in the first copy?"

Zhong Xiu smiled and said nothing.

Seeing that she didn't intend to answer, Xu Rendong silently withdrew her hand and watched the elevator door close.

At the last moment, Zhong Xiu let out a low sigh from outside the elevator.

"Sorry……"

Xu Rendong's heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly understood the answer to that question.He subconsciously wanted to open the elevator door, but it was too late.The elevator was already running, and no matter what he did, it was irreversible - Zhong Xiu was left there forever.

Xu Rendong glanced at the longevity lock in his hand, and hung it around his neck.At the same time, the low and hoarse voice sounded again.
