Infinite Flow: Becoming a God in a Nightmare Game

Chapter 139 Ice Cream

Unlike the coolness of the accommodations, the playground was bathed in scorching sunlight, with waves of heat filling the air.

A young couple was rushing towards the lobby, their foreheads covered in sweat and their clothes soaked through.

But they couldn't care less about any of that; all they wanted was to get to the safe lobby as quickly as possible.

The male player runs faster and holds his girlfriend's hand in front of him.

They sped up, as if racing against time.

Just as the male player was about to cross the threshold and enter the lobby, he realized something.

So he pushed his girlfriend into the lobby first.

The female player stumbled and fell into the lobby before the male player.

Suddenly, a wet patch appeared under the male player's feet, and his steps began to falter.

Players who had arrived earlier all turned their attention to him.

His movements began to slow and become distorted, his limbs gradually lost their shape, and his body outline slowly disappeared.

The melting process started from the feet and lasted for several seconds.

After that, his entire body turned into a pool of unrecognizable, viscous liquid.

Like melting ice cream, it flowed slowly in front of the threshold.

This happened so fast that the female player didn't even have time to react.

She was stunned and couldn't accept what she was seeing.

She felt frozen in place, unable to move, and could only watch helplessly as this scene unfolded, her heart filled with endless doubt, fear, and despair.

Just seconds ago, the person who was smiling at her and talking to her was now gone forever.

The female player's mind was in complete chaos. She refused to believe it was real, and her heart felt completely hollowed out, leaving only endless emptiness and pain.

She tried to take a step forward, wanting to hug him, to call his name, hoping it was all a prank.

But in any case, the male player was no longer able to respond to his girlfriend's calls.

He fell silently before her eyes, and she was powerless to stop him.

This scene will be unforgettable for the female player.

The surrounding environment began to blur, and the noise gradually faded away.

The female player only saw the ice cream-shaped liquid in front of the door.

Some calm players tried to approach and investigate, but were so frightened by what they saw that they retreated repeatedly.

Some timid players screamed, terrified by the sudden change.

Some players stared wide-eyed and opened their mouths wide; some even covered their mouths with their hands to suppress their screams.

The lobby was completely silent, filled with confusion and fear.

The air was filled with a sweet, cloying smell of ice cream.

A living, breathing person was turned into an ice cream cone right in front of them.

In an instant, the once vibrant and bustling amusement park fell into a deathly silence, with only the pool of "melted" liquid gleaming eerily under the sun.

Several other players rushed over behind them, but none of them melted in the sun like the male players.

Following closely behind were Lin Wanchu and Lu Xue, each holding a parasol.

Although the two were carrying parasols, it was still easy to tell that they were walking in a hurry.

A parasol can only block the intense sunlight, but it cannot dispel the discomfort.

The air was filled with the distorted illusion of heat waves, making even breathing heavy and difficult.

Players without any cover have a much harder time; they wish they had eight legs to run into the lobby.

The sunlight was like a million golden arrows, shining directly on the heads and shoulders of the players still in the amusement park, making every exposed skin feel a burning sting.

Every player who steps into the lobby will invariably look at the pool of liquid, then glance at the female player with a hint of pity.

Even if her companions wanted to comfort her, it was all in vain.

Including Lin Wanchu and Lu Xue.

As Lu Xue smelled the cloyingly sweet aroma of ice cream in the air, she realized that she would probably develop a phobia of ice cream from now on.

The female player was stunned for a long time until her clothes were tugged, which brought her back to her senses.

When she saw that it was her boyfriend from when she was a child, she couldn't hold back anymore and hugged him and her younger self, bursting into tears.

Why, why doesn't she run faster?

That way, they can both survive.

Lin Wanchu and Lu Xue led their younger selves up to the second floor and arrived at the room at the end.

The room door was wide open. Chi Miaomiao was sitting on the bed holding Xiao Miaomiao, while Lu Zhi was studying the full-length mirror.

The full-length mirror must not be moved or broken.

The sound of running water came from the bathroom, but they didn't seem to be disturbed by the noise downstairs.

Lin Wanchu nodded to Chi Miaomiao and released Xiao Wanchu.

Before she could even sit down properly, she noticed the back of Lu Xue's hand.

Lin Wanchu grasped Lu Xue's hand, frowning as she examined it closely.

Lu Xue's skin was naturally thin, and the redness and blemishes caused by sunburn stood out starkly against her fair skin.

The sunburned skin felt slightly warm and was extremely sensitive to the touch. Even a gentle breeze or slight friction from clothing would cause Lu Xue unbearable stinging.

She hadn't noticed the sunburn marks on her hands when she was at the amusement park.

Xiao Luxue obediently raised her hand and leaned closer, indicating to Lin Wanchu that her hand should be like that as well.

Even the sunburned areas and shapes are exactly the same.

The meaning was self-evident. Lin Wanchu patted Xiaolushue's head to express her gratitude.

At first, she thought that the players and the children influenced each other, but it seems that's not the case.

It turns out that the player's death does not lead to the child's death, but if the child is injured or dies, it will lead to the player's injury or death.

The little snowflake is expressing that she got sunburned, which is why there are sunburn marks on the back of her hands.

Lin Wanchu redeemed sunburn ointment from the system and carefully applied it to the back of her hand, covering the sunburned area.

"If it hurts, remember to tell me, Xiaoxue."

Lu Xue smiled and shook her head. Her hands felt cool and refreshing, and the pain from the sunburn was slowly subsiding.

Chi Miaomiao helped treat the sunburn on Xiaolushue's hand.

Just then, Cheng Cuo and Yu Hansheng arrived at the lobby and heard the female player's heart-wrenching cries.

The crying and screaming didn't even wake the sleeping Miss Rabbit.

Without pausing for long, they went up to the second floor.

As Cheng Cuo stepped onto the second-floor corridor, a question lingered in his mind, a question he was extremely curious about.

That's why Cheng Cuo only asked Yu Hansheng now.

Why did you always hug an empty fish tank when you were a child?

There was absolutely nothing inside, not even water.

Yu Hansheng paused almost imperceptibly, his expression one of surprise and confusion.

She glanced at Cheng Cuo's curious expression, her eyes sparkling, and she pursed her lips slightly, letting out a soft laugh.

"Maybe I was a freak when I was a child."

Yu Hansheng then looked away, the smile still lingering on her lips, but it didn't reach her eyes.

Cheng Cuo was slightly taken aback, and subtly curled his lip, thinking that this guy was probably just trying to appease him.

However, he could still sense that Yu Hansheng was slightly unhappy. Was it because of this problem?

Judging from how much Xiao Hansheng cherishes it, anyone with eyes can see that this fish tank is very important to him.

For the first time, Cheng Cuo felt disgusted with his own poor speaking skills.

Or I should apologize to him later, since I've upset him.

Cheng Cuo was extremely conflicted, and even when he reached the door of the room, he was still thinking about apologizing.
