Death Spiral [Infinite Flow] - Chapter 186

    There was a creaking sound behind him, and the courtyard door opened. A middle-aged woman with a benevolent face appeared halfway out of the door.

    “Are you…?” The middle-aged woman’s gaze wandered between Lian Qiao and Xiao Apple. Soon, his eyes shifted to the little baby in Lian Qiao’s arms. The middle-aged woman screamed and hurriedly opened the door to make way.

    “Quick! Come in! This kid is freezing, come in and warm up!”

    “Thank you.” Lian Qiao smiled gratefully at her, hugged Little Honeysuckle tightly, and walked quickly into the yard.

    “Hey you—” Little Apple seemed to want to remind him of something, but when she saw the middle-aged woman follow Lian Qiao nervously in, there was a hint of surprise on the girl’s face. He swallowed the words he wanted to say.

    As soon as he entered the small western-style building, Lian Qiao noticed that there was a row of children on the stairs, leaning on the railing and looking out. Those children have different degrees of disability, either missing arms or legs, or they are mentally retarded at first sight. However, their expressions were innocent and curious, and they didn’t seem malicious.

    Lian Qiao’s heart jumped, and she immediately reacted—

    No wonder it feels so familiar, it turns out this is a welfare home!

    This is where the honeysuckle grew up!

    Then this middle-aged woman… is probably the dean.

    Sure enough, while preparing hot food, the middle-aged woman introduced herself as the director of this welfare home. With mixed emotions, Lian Qiao took the change of clothes from her.

    In the outside world, honeysuckle was brought up by the dean. At this time, the little honeysuckle was frozen and turned purple, and her face was pale. Lian Qiao felt deeply that he hadn’t taken good care of him, so facing the dean, he always felt that he couldn’t hold his head up.

    But on second thought, this is a copy after all. Whether this dean is a human or a ghost is still uncertain, or don’t think too much about it.

     Even Joe and Apple were drenched in the snow for a long time, and their clothes were soaked by the snow. The dean arranged a room for the two of them and asked them to go back to the room to rest early.

    Lian Qiao fed Little Honeysuckle some hot milk powder and put it in her arms to hug her, and Little Honeysuckle’s body gradually warmed up. Lian Qiao was a little relieved.

    In the second half of the night, other players arrived at the orphanage one after another. Lian Qiao went out to take a look at Ren Dong, and had a general impression of everyone.

    The snow scene at the beginning is actually not difficult, just follow the halo to run. The problem is that most people don’t necessarily want to turn off the flashlight to chase the halo, and there is blood on the road, and some people don’t dare to chase after seeing the blood.

    According to later players, there are still some unclean things hidden in the snow. The slow runner has been killed by that ghost.

    These don’t even care about Joe, he only cares about what happens to Honeysuckle next.

    Sure enough, as he expected, the next day, when the first ray of sunshine in the morning hit his face, the little honeysuckle cracked from the middle with a “pop”. Like a very mature pod, a slightly larger honeysuckle burrows out of it.

    Lian Qiao saw such an exciting scene early in the morning and was so shocked that she was speechless for a long time. When he regained his senses, he realized that the little honeysuckle had changed from a wrinkled baby in sauce-purple to a pink and tender one-year-old baby.

    However, other players immediately realized that Xu Rendong was the key player.

     Of course even Joe didn’t understand what that meant. When everyone gathered downstairs for breakfast, he frankly took out a crowbar and slapped it on the table, and said, I will cover this key player! I will kill anyone who dares to touch him.

    Everyone has different thoughts, and of course nothing will be revealed on the bright side. There is only one idiot with a scarred face, and it ignites like a cannonball, just to kill the chickens and warn the monkeys. Lian Qiao knocked him all over his head, and finally Scarface ran out crying.

    Lian Qiao didn’t expect this fierce-looking big man to cry when he cried, and he was a little embarrassed for a while.

    However, Scarface just ran out for a minute, and suddenly appeared at the door of the house.

    Everyone: “?” Didn’t you want to be alone? Why did you come back?

    Scarface: “Fuck, I don’t know!”

    It was only then that everyone discovered that there was a mystery hidden in the yard. Although the courtyard door is open, as soon as you step out, you will be teleported back to the door of the foreign building. It seems that the scope of this activity is only such a small place.

    Everyone was a little frustrated. They all explored the orphanage and found that everything seemed to be normal in the orphanage, and there was nothing that could be called a clue.

    The frustration deepened at night. Because it’s haunted.

    “Ah, ah, ah-” Everyone was chased by hungry ghosts and fled. The hungry ghost was shaped like a spider, with slender limbs and a belly as big as a drum, and a mouth so large that it could bite off an adult’s head in one bite.

    What’s more annoying is that the dean actually locked the door of the Xiaoyang Building, so everyone can only run around in the yard.

    Lian Qiao was holding the little honeysuckle, and it was difficult to move. At first, he was worried that the hungry ghosts would come straight to them, so he kept his crowbar on his toes. However, to his surprise, the hungry ghost ignored him, just chasing after other players, and had no interest in them at all.

    …Is this hungry ghost still picky about eating children?

    Lian Qiao looked down at the little honeysuckle carved in pink and jade in her arms, suddenly a little unconvinced.

    It’s not science! Our little ones are pink and tender, so cute! So delicious! Why doesn’t he like to eat?

    There must be something wrong!

    Everyone was chased by the hungry ghosts, screaming and fleeing in embarrassment, but here Lian Qiao hugged the little honeysuckle and stood under the vine trellis and watched for a while, feeling that they had nothing to do with them, so they had to Bored to sit and drink tea.

    Little Apple, passing by Lian Qiao, panted, “Why are you so irritating?!”

    Even Qiao spreads her hands: “I don’t know.”

    Little Apple was empty-handed at this time. When encountering a hungry ghost, the only way to escape is to run away. When she saw Lian Qiao’s crowbar on the table, she panted and stretched out her hand: “If you don’t need it, lend it to me!”

     Before even Qiao could speak, there was a sudden movement in her arms. I saw Little Honeysuckle climbed to the table, stretched out her short hand, and hugged the crowbar in her arms as if protecting her food.

    …Huh?

     Even Qiao was surprised, and Apple was stunned.

    At this time, the hungry ghost caught up, and the pale and long arms stretched out towards the little apple. Little Apple screamed, turning her head and running away without caring about anything else.

    Lian Qiao subconsciously picked up the little honeysuckle and wanted to step back, never thinking that the hungry ghost had already rushed in front of them, only looked at the honeysuckle, as if something had blinded her eyes , oooooo, the ghost shouted and backed away.

    “Huh?!” Lian Qiao was more and more surprised, seeing the hungry ghost crawling away with his hands and feet, and turned his head to chase Little Apple.

      Lian Qiao tilted his head and thought for a while, and couldn’t help but ask, “Are you…”

    Little Honeysuckle raised her eyes and looked at him with a “you finally noticed” expression.

    Lian Qiao: “With the amulet Iwami wears for you?”

    Honeysuckle: “???”

    These words were obviously beyond Ren Dong’s expectations, and he immediately widened his eyes, as if he was too shocked to speak.

    Lian Qiao scratched his head: “That’s not right, isn’t that amulet in the backpack?”

    It was given to them by Iwami Chuan when they came out of the nine-chain dungeon. Inside is a wooden sign with a bunch of ghosts drawn crookedly on it. It is extremely ugly.

    Although Iwami Chuan is a master of Jiuguan, in reality he is just an ordinary folklorist. To be fair, Ishijian wears his own DIY stuff in a copy that shouldn’t be of any use. But it is inevitable that this nasty **** is playing a trick again, what if he is a fool? What if this is actually a prop?

    The little honeysuckle at this time is only one year old, and the neck is pink and touts, and it feels very good to the touch. Lian Qiao hung a talisman on him, and was still muttering about Shi Jianchuan.

    “…” Little Honeysuckle stared at him with bright eyes, raised her little hand, and grabbed his fingers.

    “Huh?” Lian Qiao made a move, and then said embarrassedly, “I hurt you? I’m sorry…”

    Little Honeysuckle grinned. He didn’t have teeth yet, so he couldn’t utter a complete sentence, and could only babble some inexplicable sounds. Lian Qiao’s communication with him all day basically depended on guesswork. Seeing Ren Dong laughing at the moment, he couldn’t figure out what he was laughing at for a while.

    The hungry ghost in the yard chased everyone and screamed. Three people have been disemboweled and their internal organs flowed all over the place. Lian Qiao on the other side of the yard was watching the fun with her baby in her arms. Not only did she not feel nervous at all, she even yawned.

    Why the hungry ghosts avoided them, the reason is not clear, let’s just think it is the credit of the amulet. That being the case, no one else can know. So Lian Qiao carefully hid the amulet in the placket of Honeysuckle, and wrapped him tightly. Everyone caught a glimpse of Lian Qiao’s actions while running for their lives. It was only when he was addicted to raising a baby that he didn’t care about other people’s lives and deaths.

    Although Lian Qiao deserves a beating, he is holding a key player! It’s a good thing for hungry ghosts to ignore them! is a good thing!

    The players kept persuading themselves in their hearts, but lasagna tears hung on their faces.

    In the end, the tragedy came to an end at the cost of the lives of five people. The hungry ghost burped contentedly, dragged the two remaining corpses to eat, and slowly walked into the darkness.

    Everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief, and all fell to the ground exhausted.

    “Finally it’s over…” The long-haired aunt’s hair was messy, and she covered her face and started crying.

    “He, fuck…” Scarface panted heavily, unable to get up.

    “…” Little Apple was speechless, looking around, counting the number of survivors, her face a little sad.

    Under the vine frame in the distance, Lian Qiao was holding the sleepy little honeysuckle and was about to get up. Little Honeysuckle rubbed his eyes, looked into the yard, and pouted, showing a disappointed expression.

    Lian Qiao was stunned when he saw it by accident, and suddenly felt that something was wrong.

    “…Honeysuckle?” He called out hesitantly.

    Little Honeysuckle raised her eyes and looked at him inquiringly.

    The **** eyes, with the clear innocence unique to children. Lian Qiao looked at him carefully for a while, but couldn’t find anything unusual. He could only think that he was thinking too much, then shook his head and said with a smile, “It’s nothing.”

    The yard was a mess, and the floor was full of blood. The dozen or so surviving players sat on the ground gasping for breath. Lian Qiao picked up Little Honeysuckle, carefully avoided the **** ground, came to the players, was about to speak, but heard a creaking sound from the foreign building.

    The dean leaned halfway out of the door and said angrily, “Excuse me, can you please be quiet? The children are all asleep, and I have to get up early to work tomorrow!”

    Congregation: “…” Is this what we want to make trouble? Isn’t your welfare home haunted? !

    Lian Qiao listened, but his ears pricked up, walked over and asked, “What are you going to do tomorrow?”

    The dean laughed: “The honeysuckle flowers in the yard are about to bloom. Tomorrow I will pick the flowers with the children and take them to the market to sell.”

    When this remark came out, not only Qiao, but also the little honeysuckle in his arms was shocked.

    “…” Little Honeysuckle opened her eyes wide and stared at the dean.

    The dean smiled and rubbed his hair, and said softly: “Little guy, you haven’t slept yet. If you don’t go to bed earlier, you won’t grow taller!” Goodbye, turned around and went back upstairs.

    The people behind them only thought that the dean was here to issue a mission.

    Lian Qiao frowned and looked down to see the look on Ren Dong’s face. So he sighed and whispered, “Go back and talk?”

    Little Honeysuckle nodded.

    So Lian Qiao ignored the people behind and went back to the house with honeysuckle.
