Infinite Flow: Becoming a God in a Nightmare Game

Chapter 122, the 4th Fallen Flower Cave Maiden

Lin Wanchu asked at the right moment, "This... if I heard correctly, it's your voice, right? And weren't you going to ask about the offerings?"

"I'm not quite sure either; maybe parallel worlds exist."

Have you made any progress today?

Jiang Qi tilted his head slightly, his well-defined knuckles tapping lightly on the table, the frequency exactly the same as what was coming from the listening device.

What he said in the listener wasn't important; he just wanted to figure out why this was happening.

"There's a little, but not much. Today I went to check out the room of the male player who died before, and I found a clue, but I don't know what it means."

"He left complete fingerprints on seven bricks. Do you think he was trying to represent seven days or seven people?"

Jiang Qi's hand, which was tapping on the table, suddenly stopped.

A sudden inspiration flashed through his mind, and he smiled, his beautiful peach blossom eyes bursting with joy.

His light brown pupils were as dark as ink, and his eyelashes trembled slightly.

"I know what message I want to send myself. You should know Morse code, right?"

"Try to imitate the frequency with which I tap the table; isn't that the number 7?"

Lin Wanchu had learned a little about it; after all, it's always good to have more skills.

Morse code, also known as Morse code, is a signal encoding method that uses different combinations of short and long signals to represent different English letters, numbers, and punctuation marks.

It mainly consists of short signals "." and long signals "-", which are arranged in different orders to express different characters.

In an emergency, it is still possible to subtly pass clues to one's companions.

Lin Wanchu also tried typing it and found that it was the number 7 expressed in Morse code.

Lu Zhize seemed to understand, but not quite. He had never learned anything so complicated before. He silently made a mental note of it, realizing that he still needed to learn more.

Lu Xue was still very weak after resting for so long, but she was more conscious.

She had just had a dream, but couldn't remember the details after waking up, which frustrated Lu Xue.

If you remember, it might provide some clues.

"Now, we've completed our mission and have an extra day."

"Tomorrow, Lin Wanchu, you can stay in the stilted house to take care of Lu Xue. You can go and inquire about the information of the players who died in the past two days."

"If there are any talented players among the deceased players, try to find out more about them, preferably by knowing their background."

Lin Wanchu pondered for a moment, then nodded, "So where do you plan to go?"

"Didn't you discover a burial mound before? I'd like to go take a look."

"And I also know where the cave is. I think once we finish exploring, everything will make sense."

There were markings made by Lin Wanchu on the path around the graves, so that they wouldn't get lost.

"Are you hungry? I'll go ask A-Yue for some steamed buns."

Lin Wanchu took the initiative to ask, and left before Jiang Qi and the others could answer.

During mealtime, all the players were present. Lin Wanchu had another purpose in moving forward: to observe whether there were any extra marked players.

Lin Wanchu stood by the kitchen door, crossed her arms, and greeted A Yue.

Ah Yue understood, "Why don't you sit down and wait a while? Or would you prefer steamed buns?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Wanchu sat down, resting one arm on the table and propping her chin up with her hand. Her voice was casual, as if she were chatting with a friend.

"Okay, take ten steamed buns as before. Your cooking is delicious, but we're not used to the local food and can't eat much."

"So, this time we'll just eat some steamed buns to fill our stomachs."

"Ah Yue, we've finished all our tasks. Can we rest in the stilted house tomorrow?"

While responding to Lin Wanchu, A Yue prepared the steamed buns.

"It's alright, I was worried that we wouldn't be able to entertain you properly."

"You can rest. You're the best and fastest team."

Lin Wanchu didn't speak again, casually lifting her eyelids, her deep eyes scrutinizing the players who were eating.

The main focus remains on the female players.

Although she didn't know how many players had entered, she was shocked when she counted them.

There are far fewer players than when we first joined; it feels like we can't even gather fifteen people.

This is strange, as the death toll is severely disproportionate.

The number of male players has decreased dramatically. Apart from Xiao Tang, who is dressed as a woman, there is only Bai Xiaoyu left as a male player.

Besides her, Xu Cangsheng's team has three other female players still alive.

A female player was sitting next to Xiao Tang, but Mo Qing was nowhere to be found.

Bai Xiaoyu also became the lone wolf of his squad, as he did not see any other players around him.

Li Shuyue and Su Rui were no longer human, so Lin Wanchu automatically ignored them.

All things considered, their team still had the most survivors, with no one in danger.

After getting the steamed buns, Lin Wanchu sat for a while longer. Anyway, she wasn't in a hurry and was determined to find the fourth player.

They didn't tell the other squads about the Shadow Ghost's whereabouts, lest they alert the enemy.

This shadow ghost is extremely clever and cunning, as Mo Qing told them.

The female player who was following Xiao Tang seemed to have a poor appetite, barely touching the rice in her bowl, sometimes frowning slightly, sometimes breathing heavily.

The bright red brand on the back of his neck was very noticeable.

Lin Wanchu's eyes darted around, and she smiled slightly at her.

Ah, she has found the fourth Falling Flower Cave Maiden.

Players no longer need to choose their own brides; the mountain god has already chosen one for them.

Anyone who dares to target Lu Xue, whether a god or a ghost, Lin Wanchu will kill; she is not afraid in the slightest.

What kind of good thing is the mountain god? He only chooses these women who are powerless to even kill a chicken. She has to do something about it.

We absolutely must not let Lu Xue be sacrificed to that so-called mountain god.

Lin Wanchu quietly returned to her room and told Jiang Qi the clues she had obtained, without letting Lu Xue hear.

Only after her own guess was confirmed did she dare to say it with certainty.

Jiang Qi looked at Lin Wanchu's gloomy face and his heart skipped a beat; he had a bad feeling.

On the day of the fall into the cave, Lin Wanchu probably wanted to switch places with Lu Xue and become the Flower Cave Maiden.

Lin Wanchu wouldn't tell them.

Jiang Qi and Lu Zhi exchanged a glance, and Lu Zhi immediately understood Jiang Qi's meaning: they needed to keep a close eye on Lin Wanchu's actions.

Jiang Qi patted Lin Wanchu on the shoulder to comfort her, "Don't think too much about it. Take good care of Lu Xue first."

However, he still had to speak frankly.

"I know what you're thinking. You want to switch the Wall's, but can you be sure you can protect Wall's forever?"

"Lu Xue has to experience something on her own. She can't stay under your wing forever."

Jiang Qi is so smart that he could guess her thoughts, so she wasn't surprised at all.

Lin Wanchu's voice was hoarse and deep, carrying an almost imperceptible sense of restraint, and her whole body was as stiff as a stone.

Her eyes welled up with tears. "You don't understand. I don't want to see Lu Xue die again. I can protect her forever."

"I accumulated so many points and items to make myself stronger, all because I wanted to survive in the Nightmare Game and live long enough to see Lu Xue again."

"I really, I just want to protect the people I love."

“I don’t know how Lu Xue got into the Nightmare Game, but I know it must be because of you.”

"You can protect her from harm, but how can you know what Lu Xue is thinking?"

"When Lux saw you get hurt protecting her, do you think she would feel good? You have to give Lux some opportunities to grow."

"Nightmare Games is not child's play. One day she will be forced to do solo dungeons. Do you think you can still go in her place then?"

Lin Wanchu's rebuttal lingered on the tip of her tongue, but she couldn't utter it, and her half-open mouth closed again.

After a long pause, she smiled helplessly.

"Jiang Qi, you really are..."

Lin Wanchu didn't say what it really was.

It was rare for Jiang Qi to say so much to persuade someone, so Lu Zhi reached out his right hand and handed Jiang Qi a glass of water.

Jiang Qi drank the water from Lu Zhi's hand, moistened his throat, pursed his lips tightly, and said nothing more.

Some things shouldn't be said too much; just hint at them and that's enough.

Lu Zhi looked at Jiang Qi's moist lips, his hands hanging at his sides clenched, and he narrowed his eyes slightly.

His brother's lips were so beautiful that he couldn't resist taking a bite to taste them.

If I were to kiss him, would the taste be as delicious as I imagined? But if I didn't get my brother's permission, he would definitely hate me.

Let me think about it first.

One day, he will completely possess his brother.
