Death Spiral [Infinite Flow] - Chapter 101

Chapter 101 – Without a Key 13

Before Lian Qiao could recover from the shock, Xu RenDong had already left the room and closed the door.

Lian Qiao subconsciously wanted to chase him but accidentally tripped over the crutches that were lying against the stool. His entire person slammed to the ground with a bang and fell, dizzy.

He lay on the ground. The bluestone floor was icy cold and his heart was also cold.

He really didn’t know what he had done wrong. Obviously everything had still been fine when he’d stepped in with his front foot, why was it that when he lifted his back foot everything went wrong?! {Basically everything was still okay a few minutes ago, then suddenly things changed abruptly.}

And… Didn’t Xu RenDong comfort him and say “don’t worry, I’ll protect you” before coming in? Why did he go back on his word in the blink of an eye… and tell him to get out?

Lian Qiao didn’t want to believe that he was abandoned. He told himself: RenDong must have his own considerations and he must want to be separated from him for some special plan.

But…

Fuck! How could he not be sad!

Lian Qiao got up from the ground, gritted his teeth and poured himself a cup of tea angrily. The tea was freshly brewed. He didn’t pay attention when he held it in his hand. He poured it directly into his mouth, and immediately spit it out with a “ow” when his lips were scalded.

It was so hot that he suddenly calmed down.

No, he shouldn’t be so impulsive. He needs to think about it, what should he do next?

Lian Qiao put the ring that Xu RenDong gave him in his hand and looked at it carefully. The ring was made of silver and looked neither like a bracelet nor a ring in size. The silver ring was engraved with complicated and complex patterns which were too fine to be seen clearly.

He decisively took out his mobile phone, turned on the camera lens and zoomed in on the screen. Using the camera function of his mobile phone, he could clearly see a line of small words hidden inside the pattern.

以色侍君，盼君长留 / “If you judge a man by appearance/sexual characteristics, you can only pray for the man to stay a long time.”

{Errr… extremely hard to translate and sounds significantly more awkward in English. For Chinese speakers, the Chinese is: 以色侍君，盼君长留. The first half of the sentence is in reference to the Chinese saying “以色侍君短，以才侍君长”, basically meaning if you chose a man based on his appearance/sexual characteristics (how good looking, buff, sexy blah blah he looks), your marriage will be short. But if you chose a man based on his talent/skills, your marriage will be long.

Going onwards, I’m just going to use Chinese now that I’ve explained the meaning.}

Huh? What does this mean?

Lian Qiao stared at the first part of the phrase “以色侍君” and thought: Is this ring really for attaching to that thing? 

There was a chill from down below. He quickly pushed the bad thought out of his mind. After thinking for a moment, he put the ring on his body and decided to go out and explore first.

Just as he was about to go out, his keen ears suddenly caught a strange noise.

Lian Qiao turned his ears to listen,and the more he listened, the more wrong it seemed. His face was burned all the way to the roots of his ears.

What’s going on next door! You just entered the instance and now you want to…. papapa?!

He went out the door angrily and yelled at the door next door. The pair inside didn’t react at all and were still shouting shamelessly.

Lian Qiao was simply stunned by their shamelessness and was about to kick open the door when he suddenly realized that the bad sounds were not only coming from this room.

From the entire corridor, from all the rooms, there were actually ah ah ahhh!

Have these people all gone mad?! Is this the right time to make an appointment to have sex?! 

As someone who didn’t fit in, Lian Qiao is both shocked and embarrassed. He stood bewildered in the hallway, his ears filled with bad sounds. Hearing them made him blush and his entire person felt indescribable. 

Wait, wait, what about RenDong?

He wouldn’t be in one of these rooms…

As soon as Lian Qiao thought about it, the blood all over his body rushed to his brain instantly. He shouted loudly: “Xu RenDong!” Before he finished speaking, he kicked the door open!

After two seconds.

“I’m sorry, I’m sorry, you continue, you continue…”

There was a pair of strange men and women in the room. Apologizing, Lian Qiao walked backwards and left the room, kicking aside several pieces of clothing on the way. He looked down subconsciously and saw it was a belly pocket. {A traditional type of clothing worn by Chinese girls as lingerie. Diamond shape at the chest and tied up at the back, google ‘dudou’ to see images. No longer common in modern society.}

Um? Belly pocket? Who would come to fight an instance in a belly pocket? Is it some kind of fetish?! 

He backed out of the room and closed the door, still wondering. But the loud roar of the next door next door instantly attracted his attention again.

The urge to catch an adulterer instantly robs him of reason. With a loud “hey”, he rushed to the second room and kicked the door open again.

This time, there were actually two women inside? !

“Sorry, sorry, sorry!” Lian Qiao covered his eyes and stepped back but his eyes could still peek from behind his fingers.

– A belly pocket, another belly pocket. Why is it here too?

Back in the corridor again, with the cool evening wind blowing, many thoughts flashed through Lian Qiao’s mind.

Although he has never been in a relationship with a girl, he still has the most basic common sense – modern day girls wear underwear instead of a belly pocket. Moreover, the style of belly pocket in the two rooms is exactly the same. The red satin material looks strange no matter how you look at it.

There wasn’t any doubt, it was the maid’s belly pocket. 

On the first night of entering the instance, it stands to reason that everyone should still be exploring the map separately, but why did they all suddenly get involved with the maid? How can it happen like this?

It was unreasonable.

A word suddenly flashed in Lian Qiao’s mind: “以色侍君，盼君长留”

以色侍君，盼, 君, 长, 留?!

Lian Qiao was startled. Although he didn’t know what happened at the moment, he knew – Xu RenDong might be in danger! {Second half of the sentence “盼君长留” means ‘hope the man stays a long time’, i.e. if the man has sex with them then he’s going to stay with them for a long time… i.e. never, ever leave. Also 君/“jun” refers to husband/partner and although usually used for men, I suppose in this case refers to female instance players as well.}

If he was with the maid at the moment, then——

“RenDong! Where are you, RenDong!” Lian Qiao shouted out of control, rushed to the third room and kicked the door hard. The door was not kicked open when he stepped on it and at the same time there was severe pain from his left leg!

He actually forgot that he still had a wound on his leg! How did he kick two doors in a row open just now? !

As soon as Lian Qiao gritted his teeth, he picked up his cane and bashed it against the door.

 “Xu RenDong, you fucking come out for me! Aren’t you gay? What the hell are you doing behind my back! Come out!”

The people inside just did their business, ignoring Lian Qiao.

The panting was intermittent but the door was in the way so Lian Qiao couldn’t tell if it was Xu RenDong inside. His eyes went red and he desperately swung his cane, not caring about his broken leg.

“Xu RenDong! Come out! Come out! Fuck your mother! Fuck!” 

He didn’t know how many times he smashed before the wooden door finally made a big hole for him. He threw his cane with a bang and was about to go inside when he heard a low voice in the distance.

“Who are you scolding?!”

Lian Qiao was overjoyed and turned around quickly. He saw Xu RenDong standing in the corridor not far away. The moonlight hooked on his handsome face and his eyebrows were deep, like a distant mountain.

He was like a piece of cold and transparent ice, no one was cleaner than him and no one could get him dirty.

Lian Qiao suddenly felt a heat in his chest and various emotions filled his chest. He couldn’t help but raise the corner of his mouth. He grabbed the railing, and then limped and ran towards Xu RenDong with joy.

However, Lian Qiao suddenly stopped before he could say the words “RenDong”.

He saw a hand, a hand that was as white as jade, but clearly articulated and belonged to a man, slowly wrapping around Xu RenDong’s waist from behind.

It was the man in the black Tang suit.

Lian Qiao hadn’t noticed it before, but only now did he realize that there was a strangeness in the man’s eyebrows.

The man hugged Xu RenDong from behind and licked his ear. The tip of his tongue was red as blood and the corner of his mouth was smiling.

Lian Qiao was stunned. His chest seemed to be emptied all of a sudden and he couldn’t breathe.

To his surprise, the next second, Xu RenDong frowned and punched the man in the face with a backhand.

“Hmm!” The man in the Tang suit fell down, covering his face.

… what kind of scenario was this?!

Lian Qiao looked at Xu RenDong, who strode towards him and dragged him from the ground by his collar. He scolded: “Who were you scolding just now? Are you crazy? Go and wash your mouth with soap!”

Lian Qiao stared blankly at Xu RenDong who was close at hand. His eyes shifted from Xu RenDong’s face to his ears. Suddenly, Lian Qiao hugged Xu RenDong’s head and rubbed his ear with his sleeve.

“???” This time it was Xu RenDong’s turn to be stunned.

Lian Qiao’s actions were rude and merciless, and the cloth rubbed hard on Xu RenDong’s earlobe, making it hurt.

“What are you doing!” Xu RenDong got angry and pushed Lian Qiao away.

“I also want to ask what you are doing!” Lian Qiao’s anger rushed up. He stretched out his hand and pointed into the distance, “Who is he! Didn’t you beat him just now? Why are you making up now! Xu RenDong, what’s wrong with you?!”

Xu RenDong blushed and touched his ears. Finally he realized that Lian Qiao was jealous.

“No.” He explained subconsciously, “You misunderstood, he…”

“What misunderstanding! I fucking saw it with my own eyes!” Lian Qiao was so angry that he threw his crutches on the ground, making a loud bang. “Fuck! Now I know why you want to drive me away! You wanted to go meet up with your ‘old friend’ right? Co-author, you met your old friend, right? It must have been hard for you to act in such a big scene before right?! I actually cooperated with you! I’m such a big idiot!”

“Lian Qiao!” Xu RenDong frowned and pressed him against the wall, “Calm down! Listen to me!”

“No! Listen to your mom!” Lian Qio had really gone crazy. Each sentence touched upon Xu RenDong’s ‘unmentionable’ mom.  “What else do you have to explain?! I’ve caught you in bed—”

Before Lian Qiao could finish speaking, Xu RenDong punched him in the face, hitting him so hard his head turned away.

“Shut the fuck up! Stop fucking talking about my mom!”

With a burning face, Lian Qiao covered his face and looked at the furious Xu RenDong in shock.

What happened? How can someone who was caught in the act still behave so rudely?

Xu RenDong was also mad at him and felt a lot more refreshed after punching him. He suppressed his emotions and explained patiently: “You only saw him kissing me, did you seen me kissing him? He is suffering from…” 

Before he finished speaking, Xu RenDong saw Lian Qiao’s face change. At the same time, he felt someone approaching behind him and subconsciously twisted his body to avoid it.

Lian Qiao wasn’t as sensitive as he was. Not only was he dragging a broken leg, he had also thrown his crutches away himself. Now he couldn’t even dodge when the person who came towards him slammed squarely into his arms.

“What, what are you doing?!” Lian Qiao looked at the man in the Tang suit who threw himself into his arms in shock.

He saw the man raise his head and hook the corner of his mouth with a charming smile. Then he closed his eyes, raised his head and kissed Lian Qiao’s neck.

“Ahhhhh let go! Get the hell out of here! Help! Brother RenDong, save me ahhhhh!”

Lian Qiao punched and kicked the man, but the man stuck to him like an octopus and did not let go. Lian Qiao was pressed against the wall and kissed by him and he couldn’t break free.

Being witnessed by Xu RenDong doing this kind of thing with another man made Lian Qiao nearly die of anger.

Where was his dignity?!

Lian Qiao was embarrassed and furiously turned to Xu RenDong for help but he didn’t expect that the latter would stand beside him coldly with his arms folded and even snorted coldly.

“You know it’s a misunderstanding now?”

Lian Qiao shouted: “I know, I know! Help me! Oh, don’t kiss me… Fuck your mother, it’s disgusting… Get away!”

Xu RenDong: “You know you were wrong?”

Lian Qiao: “I was wrong, I was wrong! Fuck! Where the hell are you touching? I’m going to chop your hand off!”

Xu RenDong: “Apologize to me.”

Lian Qiao: “I’m sorry, sorry, sorry! Woo…”

Xu RenDong: “Apologize to my mother.”

Lian Qiao: “…Yes, sorry to your mother!”

Xu RenDong: “…”

Lian Qiao was about to cry: “I’m wrong, I was bad! Brother RenDong, please save me! I can’t take it anymore! Won’t you be jealous?”

Xu RenDong spread his hands: “If he doesn’t torture you, he will torture me. You don’t want to misunderstand again do you?”

Lian Qiao resisted the Tang suit man who attacked him. He was so aggrieved by Xu RenDong’s questions that he was actually forced to tears.

Xu RenDong saw that he was really stimulated and the anger in his heart disappeared immediately. He immediately took out a brick and smashed it onto the back of Shi JianChuan’s head.

“Hmmphh!” Shi JianChuan groaned, clutched the back of his head and fell down.

Lian Qiao gasped heavily, looking down at Shi JianChuan in shock.

Xu RenDong said: “You pin him down first, don’t let him hurt others. I’ll look for it right away… try to find the antidote.” Then he turned his head and ran towards the stairs.

“Hey—” Seeing that Shi JianChuan hadn’t totally fainted, Lian Qiao was anxious again, “Brother RenDong, don’t go! I can’t hold him down!”

Xu RenDong threw down his words without looking back. “If you can’t pin him down just kick his lower half until it calms down! It’s alright to be ruthless, anyway I’m not familiar with him!”

Lian Qiao: “Eh?!!”

Xu RenDong ran away in a hurry.

Lian Qiao looked down at Shi JianChuan, who was twisted like a snake on the ground and suddenly let out a wicked laugh.

RenDong: He is suffering from…

Be heavier. It’s a test.
