Death Spiral [Infinite Flow] - Chapter 166

    The next day, Honeysuckle spent the night in the study room. Seeing that it was not early, he simply washed in the bathroom and hurried to the classroom.

    I met three roommates in the classroom. The roommates were surprised and asked him where he went and why he didn’t return home on the first day of school.

    Xu Rendong put on a pair of panda eyes and pointed to the book expressionlessly: “Self-study.”

    Roommates: “???” You have already started self-study before class starts? You are too good to learn!

    Is this the so-called “I haven’t started to study yet, and the masters have already begun to review”? !

    Looking at the shocked and longing eyes of her roommates, Xu Rendong’s heart not only did not fluctuate at all, she even wanted to eat a xiaolongbao.

    “Right.” Roommate A suddenly said, “Your brother came to see you just now, didn’t you tell him that you are studying by yourself?”

    Honeysuckle was shocked, and then she remembered that she was addicted to studying and forgot that even Qiao was coming to pick him up. He subconsciously got up to find Lian Qiao, but the class bell just rang. The middle-aged female teacher wearing black-rimmed glasses stepped into the classroom with a blank expression, and opened her mouth to talk about attendance.

    …This woman is not easy to get along with. At this time, walking out of the classroom in front of her, I am afraid the class will be dropped on the spot.

    Honeysuckle had no choice but to sit down again. I thought to myself, I must get a mobile phone after class, otherwise it would be too inconvenient to communicate.

    A large class takes more than two hours, with a ten-minute break in between. As soon as the break bell rang, Ren Dong flew out of the classroom. As soon as he reached the entrance of the stairs, he heard a familiar voice behind him.

    “Honeysuckle!”

     Xu Rendong turned around and saw Lian Qiao standing behind him, walking towards him. It seemed that he had been waiting outside the classroom for a long time.

    The person who wants to run to meet is right in front of you. Honeysuckle felt like honey flowing in her heart, and she couldn’t help raising the corners of her mouth, and went forward to meet her.

    “I was going to find you.” He said with a smile, but his tone was apologetic, “I’m sorry, I went to the all-night study room to read a book yesterday, and I didn’t have time to tell you. It makes you worry… uh !”

     Before he finished speaking, Lian Qiao suddenly raised his hand and pressed his fingertips lightly on his lips.

    “I’m really worried. I’m so worried.” Lian Qiao stared at him, his eyes moved slowly, and finally landed on his lips, “so you have to compensate me, you have to Compensate me well.”

     Honeysuckle’s face turned red. He pursed his lips uncomfortably, grabbed Lian Qiao’s hand, and pulled it away from his lips.

    “Don’t say such things here.” Ren Dong guiltily glanced at the college students who came and went, blaming Lian Qiao, but her heartbeat was terribly violent.

    Lian Qiao smiled and said “OK”. Then he said, “By the way, there is bad news.”

    “Huh?”

    “Apple is dead.”

    …

    Xu Rendong didn’t want to listen to the class anymore, so she went to the teacher to ask for a leave, and hurried to the back of the school with Lian Qiao.

    The body was found this morning, almost when Xu Rendong went from the library to the classroom. At that time, Lian Qiao went to the dormitory to pick him up. No one was seen. He was anxious to find him all over the world, but accidentally found Xiao Apple’s body in the back mountain.

    Seeing the corpse, Lian Qiao calmed down, thinking that Ren Dong must be in class at this time, so he went to the teaching building.

    This has taken a lot of time back and forth. Other students had passed by, found the body and called the police. At this time, the crime scene was cordoned off, surrounded by a large group of students, who were stopped by the police from entering.

    Honeysuckle and Lian Qiao stood in the crowd and heard the students talking.

    “Who is this woman? Which line?”

    “I don’t know, does anyone know?”

    “I heard that the death was terrible…the flesh on the neck was hollowed out…”

    “Ah? So scary? Perverted murderer?”

     “What did the school security eat, how did they put the murderer in?”

    Honeysuckle listened, and my heart was very uncomfortable. He asked Lian Qiao, “Have you informed the others?”

    Lian Qiao shook his head: “Not yet. Everyone is scattered all over the school, and I don’t have time to inform them one by one.”

    “The scene is too big this time.” Honeysuckle sighed, “We have to buy a mobile phone to facilitate contact.”

    On his way to the library yesterday, he saw the business halls of the three major operators in the school. Although the mobile phone brought in from the outside world has no signal, since there is a business hall in the school, the mobile phone bought in the copy may be able to be used.

    Lian Qiao shook his head: “No. I’ve checked it out. You need an ID card to get a mobile phone number. We don’t have any.”

    Xu Rendong: “…”

    Indeed, who will come in with an ID card to make a copy.

    This copy is too realistic. If time hadn’t flowed so fast, he would have wondered if he was dreaming or if this was the real world.

    The police are closely guarding the scene, and it is impossible to get in easily. It was inconvenient to speak in the crowd, so Ren Dong and Lian Qiao withdrew, found another secluded place on the back mountain, and sat down to discuss.

    “Have you done an autopsy?” Honeysuckle asked.

    Lian Qiao sighed: “I was afraid of your accident at that time, so I was in a hurry to find you, how could I have the heart to perform an autopsy?”

     Honeysuckle felt guilty again. He explained his thoughts to Lian Qiao, and Lian Qiao smiled: “I don’t blame you. You are right, in fact, I have felt this way. This copy seems to want you to live your life again… On the bright side, you will only meet me when you step into the elevator, and it seems like your destiny. Isn’t it amazing?”

    “But, it’s not…” Halfway through speaking, Ren Dong suddenly felt her tongue stiffen, making it difficult to speak.

    Here again, a long-lost feeling.

    The end and the beginning are joined together, isn’t it like reincarnation?

    Maybe this dungeon is really related to his death cycle, so he was forced to mute?

    Lian Qiao stared at him, thinking of something, a strange color flashed in his eyes.

    “What do you want to say?” Lian Qiao walked up to him, raised his chin, grinned, and looked at him condescendingly, “Are you afraid that after entering the elevator, you will meet another me ?”

    Honeysuckle was startled by what he said.

    What do you mean? Encounter another Lian Joe after entering the elevator?

    …So, it’s possible. If he guesses wrong and that elevator is not an exit, but another entrance, then…

    The more Xu Rendong thought about it, the more frightened she became.

    Lian Qiao suddenly smiled lowly, leaned down, and kissed his forehead.

    “Don’t be afraid.” Lian Qiao said softly, “No matter how many times we meet, I love you.”

    The familiar warm breath makes honeysuckle calm down. He stretched his arms around Lian Qiao’s waist and buried his head in Lian Qiao’s chest, absorbing the warmth from Lian Qiao’s body a little uneasy. Lian Qiao hugged him and stroked his back, like comforting a child who was afraid of the dark.

    Taking advantage of the lunch break, Lian Qiao Rendong went to various places in the school to find people and let everyone gather at the campus cafe.

    Unexpectedly, no one was too surprised.

    “Sure enough something happened…” The monk said solemnly.

    Honeysuckle was surprised: “‘Sure enough’? Did you already know?”

    The long-haired aunt sighed: “Actually, she didn’t come back last night…”

    Lin Dong looked at Lian Qiao, Lian Qiao nodded and said, “Yes. We all stayed at the campus hotel last night, but Little Apple didn’t appear. I found it, and then I guessed if something happened to her.”

    Honeysuckle was silent for a moment, then asked: “After I entered the dormitory yesterday, what did you all do?”

    He spent an afternoon with Lian Qiao in the dormitory yesterday, and went to self-study all night at night. He didn’t know anything about what happened to the others. And the little apple died tragically during this period of time. Thinking of this, Xu Rendong was full of guilt.

    Everyone didn’t notice his emotions and reported their whereabouts yesterday. It turned out that everyone was in groups of two and each explored the campus. The group with Xiao Apple was a monk, but Xiao Apple left the library halfway, because she heard that the gym was distributing books and bedding, and she was going to help Honeysuckle get things.

    Xu Rendong frowned: “You just let her go alone?”

    The monk lowered his head: “It’s the poor monk who didn’t think about it. I’m sorry for her.”

    Honeysuckle still wanted to talk, but even Qiao tugged at his sleeve and said, “Don’t blame him. Yesterday, Little Apple disappeared, and everyone had given up, and he was the only one looking outside. one night.”

    No wonder the monk has dark circles under his eyes and a haggard face. Ren Dong sighed and said lightly, “What position do I have to blame him?”

    Lian Qiao smiled and rubbed his hair: “Don’t be held accountable, let’s get down to business.” He turned his attention to the crowd and said, “Now the crime scene has been blocked by the police. Now, we can’t get in. I didn’t have time for an autopsy when I found the body, so I can only give a general impression of me.”

    Everyone sat up straight and became serious.

    Lian Qiao pointed to his neck: “The fatal wound is here. There is a big hole in the neck, and the carotid artery is broken. It should be due to excessive blood loss.”

    Honeysuckle recalled what she had just heard at the scene: “There seems to be a rumor among the students that the flesh on Little Apple’s neck has been hollowed out?”

    “Yes.” Even Joe nodded, “I feel like I was bitten by a wild beast, and a large piece of flesh on my neck is gone, leaving only a layer of skin attached.”

    Honeysuckle: “Are there any other wounds?”

    Lian Qiao: “It’s too late to take a closer look, there shouldn’t be any.”

    Honeysuckle: “That seems to be a one-shot kill.”

    Everyone frowned.

    “Beasts? Can there be any beasts on the back mountain?” “Are you sure it’s a beast and not a ghost?” “But Little Apple can recite Buddhist scriptures, so even if he encounters a ghost, he won’t be killed by a single blow.”

    Xu Rendong was silent while listening to the discussion. He felt that Little Apple’s death was very strange, and there were many doubts.

    First, Little Apple’s body appeared in the back mountain. Why Back Mountain? Did she go by herself, or was her body thrown in the back mountain after she died? – Is it necessary to throw corpses to kill ghosts?

    Secondly, Little Apple and the monk separated in the evening because they went to the gym to get books and bedding. So… stuff?

    If she was killed in the gym, then the back mountain should just be a dumping place, books and bedding may be left in the gym. But if she was killed after coming out of the gym, where were the books and bedding she picked up?

    If you can find these things, will you be able to find the first crime scene, and thus know the real cause of death of Little Apple?

    Xu Rendong frowned and was sorting out his thoughts, but Lian Qiao suddenly spoke in a deep voice, interrupting his thinking.

    “I think…” Lian Qiao looked around, his eyes like a sniper rifle scope, and fell coldly on everyone’s face, “It wasn’t a ghost who killed Little Apple.”

    “It’s a person.”
