Death Spiral [Infinite Flow]

Xu Rendong knew that the thing in the dark would not hurt him immediately.But if he makes a mistake, he will die here.

After all, this time, Lian Qiao couldn't come to rescue him.

Xu Rendong stabilized his mind and began to adjust the order of the tablets.With the experience of last time, he moved much faster this time.It's just that the last time I came in was during the day, this time it was night.The light in the ancestral hall was much darker.

The candle flame on the incense table also seemed to be shaking extremely violently.Xu Rendong stared at the memorial tablet for a long time and felt his eyes were a little blurred. He could only gather 12 points of energy and force himself to concentrate all his attention.

As time passed, the darkness in the ancestral hall became more and more intense.This feels very strange: the darkness is obviously an intangible thing, but Xu Rendong can really feel the weight of the darkness on him when he is in it.

It was a feeling of oppression that almost penetrated into his pores, which made people extremely uncomfortable.

What's more, he was also drenched in the rain. At this time, his clothes and pants were all wet and stuck to his body, cold and damp.He suddenly had the illusion of being in some kind of cold-blooded animal's lair.The instinct of his body made him wish to escape from here immediately, but he couldn't.

He must be calm and calm, arrange the 81 tablets according to their seniority, and place them in the correct position one by one.

While sorting out the seniority relationship in his mind, Xu Rendong quickly adjusted the order of the tablets.The faint sandalwood fragrance penetrated into the nostrils. When I first entered the ancestral hall, I felt a little pungent, but now I gradually get used to it, it is not so choking, but I feel a little dizzy.

He subconsciously stretched out his hand towards the incense burner, trying to snuff out the sandalwood.But his heart suddenly trembled - he heard the sneer from above his head again.

The voice this time seems to be different from the one just now.It was a dull old man's voice just now, but now it is much younger.This is never a good sign, because it means that there is more than one thing hiding in the ceiling.

...Maybe there are ninety-nine 81.

This scene suddenly appeared in Xu Rendong's mind: 81 ghosts crowded together on a small ceiling, usually locked in the ancestral hall as lonely as snow, finally a stranger came, everyone lined up, you said " Humph" I let out a "ha" to take turns to scare people.

It's kind of funny when you think about it.

...Wait, why am I still trying to be funny at such a critical moment?

I was really led by Lian Qiao.

Xu Rendong couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, and the tight string in his heart relaxed a little.As he relaxed, he suddenly noticed that only a small piece of sandalwood in the incense burner had been burned.

He had a thought: Do you want to burn the incense again?

In addition to fruit, tobacco and wine, there is also a small bundle of sandalwood on the incense table.He drew three sticks out of it, and bowed reverently to the tablet three times.

Every time he bowed, he felt the invisible pressure on his shoulders lessening.When he inserted three sticks of sandalwood into the incense burner, the suffocating feeling in the ancestral hall disappeared.

Obviously the light didn't change, but Xu Rendong felt his heart brighten up.Even the air began to flow again.The gusty wind wrapped in rain came in from outside the door, it was cool, but unexpectedly gave Xu Rendong a sense of security.

It seems that this is the right way to enter the incense.

Xu Rendong breathed a sigh of relief, and turned his attention back to the tablet.

Without the suppression of that invisible pressure, the rhythm of his tablet adjustment has also accelerated a lot.It didn't take long for all the tablets to return to where they belonged.

When Xu Rendong stood on tiptoe and put the last ancestral tablet on the top of the incense table, he heard a disappointed sigh from above his head.Immediately afterwards, there was a "click", as if some kind of wooden mechanism had been triggered.

Before Xu Rendong could react, something hit him on the head.

"whee……"

Xu Rendong covered his head and kicked helplessly towards the ceiling.Then pick up the wooden box that fell on the ground.

Open it, and inside is a silver... oval ring?

It was really hard for Xu Rendong to describe what this thing was.It is roughly oblate and oblong, with one end slightly raised and the other end twisted into a triangle.There is also a small handle behind the triangle, probably for the convenience of holding.

But what is the use of holding this thing?

Xu Rendong was looking at it carefully, when suddenly his ankle felt cold.Terrified, he kicked subconsciously, trying to throw the thing out.However, the thing was wrapped around his ankle, and he couldn't shake it off no matter what.

Xu Rendong took out the crowbar without hesitation, and was about to swing it away, but suddenly saw clearly that what was wrapped around his ankle was a small snow-white snake.

The snake was as white as jade, and if it hadn't been hissing and spitting out the red letter, it would have been regarded as a lifelike jade carving.

The little white snake wrapped around his ankle coolly, but did not climb up any further.Even when Xu Rendong looked at it in astonishment, he slowly let go of his body and slid down from his instep.

This snake looks familiar...

The little snake crawled slowly on the ground, and suddenly turned around, staring at Xu Rendong with a pair of black eyes.Xu Rendong felt that the snake didn't seem to want to hurt him, and suddenly thought: Does it want me to follow it?

So Xu Rendong followed it.The little snake stopped from time to time, turning around to check if Xu Rendong had followed.Not long after, Xu Rendong came to Shi Jianchuan's room.

The snake was indeed sent by Shi Jianchuan.

The black Tang suit embroidered with dark silver snake patterns appeared in front of Xu Rendong's eyes.No wonder he was about to put on the Tang suit before it was completely dry. It turned out that this thing had such a miraculous effect.

Must be a hidden prop.

Thinking this way, Xu Rendong stretched out his hand and pushed open the door.Suddenly it went dark.He couldn't help being taken aback, and instinctively took two steps back, only then did he see what the slightly shaking thing in front of him was.

A hanged corpse.

It was the body of the maid who was ordered to commit suicide by Shi Jianchuan.

The female body was hanging upright on the beam, and it seemed that she had been dead for some time.The moment Xu Rendong opened the door, the strong wind and rain rushed into the room, which caused the female corpse to shake.

A pair of small feet were pointing downwards, and there was an overturned stool on the ground.Xu Rendong raised his head, and saw the maid tilted her head, her charming face had turned pale, her bright red tongue was sticking out, and there was still a faint smile on the corner of her mouth.

Lightning and thunder rumbled outside the house, illuminating the woman's corpse in a horrific, green and white state.It was supposed to be a terrifying scene, but Xu Rendong's mood was a bit complicated.

There was a burst of hearty laughter not far away.Xu Rendong heard that it was Shi Jianchuan's voice, so he immediately closed the door and hid.

Shi Jianchuan and the old lady with little feet came up, chatting and laughing.When they came to the entrance of the ancestral hall, the old lady seemed to have noticed something, and suddenly pushed the door open and entered.

"Who came in?!" The old lady searched around the ancestral hall, but couldn't find any clues.She ran out angrily, with her hips on her hips and cursed, "Who stole the treasure from the ancestral hall!"

Shi Jianchuan pretended to be surprised and said, "What? There are still treasures in the ancestral hall? No wonder you always stop them from entering."

The old lady reacted, her withered claws moved like lightning, and grabbed Shi Jianchuan's neck: "Yes! You!"

Shi Jianchuan frowned slightly, but before seeing him make any movement, the old lady let go of her hand with a cry of surprise.

"How could you have such a thing!" the old lady screamed, flicking her wrist desperately.I saw a small white snake wrapped around her arm, and its sharp snake teeth bit deeply into her wrist, right at the tendon.As a result, she couldn't move her entire palm, and even the skin near her wrist festered rapidly.

Shi Jianchuan sighed: "You lost something, I know you are in a hurry." He raised his eyebrows, and his long and narrow phoenix eyes were no longer seductive, but flashed a dangerous golden color, "But how can you suspect that the guest's head Come on? Have you forgotten your identity?"

"You, you..." The old lady clutched her wrist, terrified.She couldn't help stepping back, watching in horror that the purple patch on her wrist rapidly expanded and spread to the entire arm.

In a blink of an eye, her entire forearm was festered and rotted, and the flesh turned into dark red blood, which fell off wetly.Even the bones inside have been stained black!

The old lady let out a desperate scream.Shi Jianchuan sighed again.The voice was still lazy, as if he had no energy: "Okay, don't waste your time here. Since you lost something, go look for it elsewhere."

As he spoke, he raised his hand and hooked his fingers at the little snake.The little snake let go, raised its head, and looked back at Shi Jianchuan.Then it turned into a faint light and disappeared instantly.

At this time, if someone has excellent eyesight, they will definitely be able to see that ray of light flying towards Shi Jianchuan, turning into a dark silver serpentine pattern on his black Tang suit.

It's a pity that besides Shi Jianchuan and the old lady with little feet, there was no third person present in the corridor at this time.

The old lady clutched her broken arm and stumbled away.Shi Jianchuan stood by the railing, watching the storm outside.He suddenly stretched out his hand, spreading his palms flat, to catch the rainwater.

It rained heavily.Almost instantly, his entire palm was filled with rainwater, and even his sleeves were completely soaked.

Shi Jianchuan looked at his palm thoughtfully, then flicked his sleeves and walked neatly towards his room.

Xu Rendong who was waiting in the guest room naturally did not see those scenes just now.He only heard the door being opened by "Zhi Ya", followed by a national curse.

"Fuck me!"

In an instant, silver light burst out.Several silver rays of light flew towards the female corpse on the beam, and in the next second, a giant snow-white python appeared out of thin air, wrapped around the female corpse, bared its fangs, and opened its mouth to bite her neck!

Xu Rendong was shocked and quickly calmed down.He said coldly: "She is already dead, terribly dead. You don't need to kill her again."

Standing at the door was of course Ishi Jianchuan.He froze for a moment, stroked his chest, still undecided in shock.Hearing what Xu Rendong said, he frowned and looked at the female corpse in front of him, only then did he understand what was going on.

"...I thought she would cut her wrist or something." Shi Jianchuan resentfully said, "Who knew there would be such a big fight."

Xu Rendong: "..." I still really want to hit him on the head with a brick.

"Get down to business." Shi Jianchuan casually pushed the female corpse away, and sat calmly in front of Xu Rendong, "What did you find in the ancestral hall?"

The giant python wrapped around the female corpse gradually faded, and soon turned into a cloud of mist and disappeared without a trace.Xu Rendong looked away from the female corpse, and briefly explained what he had just experienced.Then show him the silver object.

"Just this one? Nothing else?" Shi Jianchuan stroked the silver object with his fingertips, the expression on his face was unpredictable.

Xu Rendong said: "Just this one. Do you know what it is?"

"..." Shi Jianchuan was silent for a moment, and reluctantly said, "To tell you the truth, I don't know what this is."

Xu Rendong instantly looked disappointed.I thought how powerful the real Jiuguan boss is, but it turned out to be nothing more than that.

Not as good as Lian Qiao.

Shi Jianchuan felt his disgust, and his expression became a little embarrassed.As if he suddenly remembered something, he changed the subject and said, "By the way, where is your friend?"

"He's in the room." Xu Rendong said, "I tied him up, nothing will happen."

"Which floor do you live on?"

"The third floor."

"Oh, then you'd better go down and see him." Shi Jianchuan opened the folding fan with a snap, and his tone became calm again, "There is no drainage outlet in the earth building, and the rainwater is all accumulated in the yard. When I went down just now, The stagnant water has poured into the second floor."
