Screaming Cycle (Infinite Flow) - Chapter 257

After hearing Fan Luming’s brief description of what happened, Ji Lu couldn’t say a word.

He was very sad.

Since entering the “Peach Blossom Spring”, he has seen the life and death of many, many people.

Among these people are teammates who fight side by side, opponents who are endlessly dying, and many more are just passers-by who just happen to be assigned to the same “world”.

But being accustomed to death does not mean that he can become a hard-hearted person who ignores life and death.

He is still the captain of the youth team who was seriously injured in the derailment accident of the suspension vehicle, knowing that he had only one dead end, and tried his best to save his teammates.

So Ji Tuan understood Mo Tiangen’s choice.

He understands why Dagen-teacher didn’t try to leave the maze after being injured, and went to find a relief wall that would allow him to escape the mission, but pretended to stay by the Fan’s sister and brother as if nothing had happened, protecting them until the last moment of their lives.

Because they are companions.

And among them there are people I love.

But it was clear in my heart that the pain that seemed to tear the heart would not decrease by a single minute.

Mo Tiangen is his teammate and has been fighting side by side with himself since he first entered the “world”.

As the captain, Ji Yu has always felt that it is his responsibility to take all his companions out, and he has indeed been working hard.

Only this time, their Dagen teacher died in a place he couldn’t see, but he couldn’t do anything. Even the news of the other party’s death could only be confirmed from his companion…

…What can he do?

“……what.”

Ji Xiaoniao took a deep breath, and suffocated the faint crying in his tone of voice.

“you two……”

He hesitated for a moment, and then expressed his thoughts, “If you find the embossed wall, you can abstain immediately.”

He had already lost Mo Tiangen, and he could never lose anyone else.

Fan Luming, who had been talking just now, stopped speaking, and there was a brief silence on the microphone end.

Ji Lu thinks that the twins may be having a simple discussion.

Sure enough, after half a minute, Fan Hemian’s voice was replaced in the headphones.

“……Um.”

Fan Hemian replied:

“understood.”

After a pause, she said again:

“When we finish this corridor… as long as we can come out.”

…

Arranged to keep in touch with the Fan family sisters and brothers. After talking every ten minutes, Ji Lu and Ren Jianmo also started their own exploration in the maze.

The room they are in now looks a lot like a museum exhibition room, except that all the exhibits are oddly shaped clocks.

The entire exhibition hall has neither windows nor doors, but with Mo Tiangen and the others’ experience, Ji Lu decides to play it as an escape room game.

So the two began to check the wall clocks on the wall or the table clocks placed everywhere one by one, trying to find out where they were hidden.

“…”

Ji Tuan took off the clocks hung on the wall one by one, his expression dignified, and said nothing.

He was so silent that Ren Jianmo couldn’t help but speak first:

“What are you thinking?”

Ji Xiaoniao turned his head to look at him, barely squeezing out a smile, the corners of his eyebrows and eyes were bitter, “I feel bad.”

He frankly said:

“When I think that Big Gen is gone, I panicked.”

Ren Jianmo stretched out his hand and gently rubbed Ji Shu’s head.

“Everyone will die, you and me are the same, just see if you can seize the vitality before death.”

He pursed his lips, his long eyelashes drooped slightly, and then whispered:

“What’s more, death is not the end…”

Ji Shu stopped the movement in his hand, turned his head and stared at Ren Jianmo’s face in surprise.

The words of Ren Damei’er from his family sounded comforting at first, but after careful consideration, they seemed to have a different meaning.

“What’s the meaning?”

Ji Thrush frowned.

“Death is not the end? … What is it then?”

Ren Jianmo did not answer, but tightened his lips and shook his head gently.

“What exactly does that mean?”

Ji Lu suddenly widened his eyes, threw a metal plate-shaped clock aside in his hand, and rushed to grab Ren Jianmo’s sleeve.

“Could it be that Dagen brother is still saved?”

He asked repeatedly:

“Is he not dead yet? Or is there any other way to save him? Is that so?”

Ren Jianmo still only shook his head, just refused to answer the question of his lover.

After being questioned by Ji Xuan, he simply fished the person into his arms, bowed his head and gagged.

After Ji Xiaoniao was kissed to calm down, Ren Jianmo slowly stroked his cheek with his fingertips, as if rubbing a piece of delicate and fragile thin bone china, gently and cherished his outline. .

“Don’t be afraid…”

He stuck to the side of Ji Shu’s ear and promised with a vague voice:

“I will protect you…definitely…”

&&&&&&&&&

Just as Ji Lu and Ren Jianmo were looking for an exit in the exhibition hall, Bingyu and Zero entered a building made of glass.

If you have to describe it, this place is a bit like a mirror labyrinth house in a children’s amusement park, except that the size and structure are not something elementary school students can play around—not so much a “house”, it’s better to say It is a “city”.

Not long after Bing Hao and Zero entered, they were inevitably dazzled by the irregular refraction and reflection, losing their normal sense of space and direction.

“It’s too easy to get lost.”

Together, the two decided not only to the entrance and exit, but to leave traces in all the places they passed.

Zero drew a dagger from his belt, directly scratched the mirror along the road, and marked the direction of travel at the same time, to ensure that he would not go wrong.

For about ten minutes, everything was calm.

This huge and icy mirror city is like a postmodern experimental building that is too ordinary to be ordinary, and it seems nothing unusual except for its dazzling.

But Bing Hao and Zero did not dare to relax.

Previous experience has taught them countless times that in the “world”, any negligence is dangerous and fatal.

What’s more, the “world” they are now in is more difficult, weird, and elusive than all the S-level difficulties they have encountered before. All the way, it makes people feel that they will never end.

“Here, we have already walked once.”

Zero found the marks he had carved on the mirror.

Bing Ha stopped and stood in front of the mirror.

It was a semi-arc concave lens, the mirror surface was extremely smooth, and it clearly showed the image of the two of them. It only twisted them into disproportionate monsters with extremely long heads and legs, but ridiculously short torso. There is also a white scratch across the body on the chest.

He reconstructed the route the two have taken now, “So, the right turn just now is actually a way back.”

Bing Hao said, lifting his chin to the left, “Try that way.”

With that, he turned his feet and stepped in the opposite direction.

Zero nodded silently, ready to follow.

However, just as the silent young man in black turned his head, the reflection in the mirror suddenly moved without warning.

“Zero” in the mirror raised his left hand holding the dagger.

Then its hand holding the knife passed through a hard mirror like a pool of water, protruding from the inside, aiming at the back of the main master, and piercing it straight.

At the critical moment, the vigilance and sixth sense of the S-class participants who wandered on the edge of life and death for a long time played a vital role at this time.

Zero suddenly turned his head when he felt a hard object approaching.

The gleaming sharp blade can cut through his black clothes, leaving finger-long blood marks on his back.

Later, Bing Hao and Zero saw a scene that resembled a horror movie.

Two humanoid monsters were using Sadako’s classic posture to climb out of the TV, scrambling to squeeze out of the mirror.

Although it can be seen that the prototypes are Bing Hao and Zero, because they are the portraits reflected in the concave lens, the two people standing in front of the two are completely distorted monsters.

Their heads, hands, and legs are extremely long. They stand up to three meters tall and look like the kind of monster called “Skin Uncle” in Western urban tales.

The monster incarnate by the reflection of Zero is dressed in black, holding a shimmering dagger in his left hand, but the blade is also twisted by the mirror, looking more like a narrow-blade scimitar with a width of half a meter. Already holding a sharp blade, he rushed towards the Zero deity.

The monster that came out of the mirror was very fast, even if it was Zero, which had the ability to teleport, it didn’t even react to it for the first time, and was stabbed in the shoulder by it.

One person and one shadow quickly became a group.

On the other hand, the target of Bing Hao’s reflection was also Bing Hao himself.

He has no weapons, but like the master, he also has the ability of the ice system.

For a time, the shadows of knives and swords and sharp ice splashed in the mirror room. The broken glass and flying frost under the dazzling light were like prisms in a kaleidoscope, which could make people’s eyes dazzle.

The same ability person, or using the same weapon, the combat effectiveness of the counterfeit goods is inferior to the battlefield Bingji and Zero.

Soon, Bing Hao’s reflection was frozen by him with hard ice, and the whole person was almost glued to a mirror.

At the same time, Zero, who was next to him, looked at the opportunity, suddenly withdrew with an instant movement, and moved to the immobile figure. When his wrist was turned, an extra horn hammer was immediately released and smashed on the monster’s forehead.

Just listen to “Bang Dang”.

The mirror behind the reflection was knocked to pieces by Zero. At the same moment, the reflection of Bing Hao automatically shattered into powder.

And as Zero dealt with “Bing Sha”, Bing Sha also turned towards another monster in black.

The rasping sound of friction was mixed with the crackling sound of countless hard objects.

The rows of solid ice shattered all the mirrors blocking the way with an invincible momentum, like a frozen wave, surging toward the target.

But Zero’s reflection reacted quickly.

At the moment when the ice was about to swallow it, its figure flashed, and it suddenly disappeared from the two of them.

The author has something to say:

“Slender Man” is Slender Man, a well-known urban legend in the United States. It probably means that this is a very tall, slender monster with particularly long limbs, no face, and wearing a black suit. In some versions, there are many hands and feet behind this thing.

It is said that Uncle Thin often abducts and kills humans, especially children. Once he looks at the target, he will peek out of the window every night until he finds the phone.

When you search, you can see a lot of supernatural photos claiming to have taken the thin uncle!
