Kaleidoscope of Death

Because of this sudden attack, the three just sat in the room all night.

The next day, Lin Qiushi came out of the house after seeing the first ray of sunlight cast on the corridor.As soon as he arrived in the corridor, he smelled a strong fishy smell, which he was already very familiar with, and it was the smell of blood.

"What happened?" Gu Longming also smelled the smell of blood, and his expression became tense, "Where did it come from?"

Lin Qiushi sniffed and judged the direction of the smell, he said: "It seems to be downstairs, go, go and have a look."

They turned around and went down the stairs, and saw two people standing in front of the room on the far right downstairs. The door of the room was wide open, and the pungent stench came from that room.

Gu Longming walked in the front and said, "What happened?"

"It's dead." Zuo Sisi's tone was a little indifferent, she obviously accepted death very well, and said, "Two people died, I don't know how to trigger the death condition."

Gu Longming moved to the edge of the window and glanced inside, and waved his hands with a somewhat unsightly expression: "Well...the death was quite miserable."

Lin Qiushi also took a step forward and walked to the window: "I'll take a look too."

Through the gap in the curtains, he saw the situation in the room.I saw that the whole room was covered with blood, and the two dead people stood in the center of the room. Their heads were replaced by something, and became two plaster statues of human heads. Covered with coagulated blood, it looked terrible at first glance.

"Where are their heads?" Gu Longming said, "Have you found their heads yet?"

"No." Zuo Sisi hugged her chest and said, "We just found out too."

"No one knows these two people?" Lin Qiushi asked.

Zuo Sisi shook her head: "I don't know if there is any. If you want to know, you may have to wait a while, and some people haven't woken up...Keep watching, I'm going to eat." After she finished speaking, she told her The partner turned and left, his back seemed to have no attachment to the two corpses.

Gu Longming asked Lin Qiushi in a low voice, "Shall we go in and have a look?" This place really makes people feel uncomfortable.

"Let's take a look." Lin Qiushi felt that there might be some clues on these two people, although he didn't want to go in if he could.

When the two of them were talking, Ai Wenrui stood behind and kept shaking, as if he had been electrocuted. When Gu Longming said he wanted to go in, he almost didn't cry, and said: "I won't go in, I won't go in— —”

"Okay, you just wait outside, I didn't ask you to go in." Gu Longming didn't expect Ai Wenrui to have the courage to come in, so he was the first to enter the room while talking.

It seemed that someone else had already come in, and Gu Longming saw a few scattered footprints beside the house.

Lin Qiushi walked to the corpses of the two men and found a strange change in their bodies. Although they were dead, the corpses did not become soft. Instead, they were like hardened cement, showing a stiff state. state.

The heads of these two people were twisted off abruptly, and the muscles on their necks were even torn apart. Gu Longming searched around the room, but did not find their heads: "There is no head. "

Lin Qiushi nodded to indicate that he understood.He half bent down, carefully observed the two dead in front of him, and suddenly found something.Then cautiously stretched out his hand, and tentatively took out a corpse's pocket.After a while, he took out a small wooden figure from his pocket...

This wooden man Lin Qiushi had seen it yesterday, it was exactly the kind that Ai Wenrui's two friends were holding, but the wood at this time was different from what Lin Qiushi saw yesterday - the head of this wooden man was missing.

The wooden man was also stained with a little blood. Lin Qiushi took out a tissue, wrapped the wooden man in it, and found an identical wooden man on the body of another deceased.

Besides the wooden man, there seemed to be no other clues in the house.

Lin Qiushi left the room, showed the wooden man in his hand to Ai Wenrui, and said, "Do you know this thing? Is it your friend's?"

"Where did you find it?" Ai Wenrui's eyes straightened when he saw the wooden man, "Show me?"

Lin Qiushi handed the wooden figure to Ai Wenrui.

After Ai Wenrui checked, his expression became a little scared: "This, isn't this Xiaosu's wooden man?"

Lin Qiushi frowned: "What do you mean? It means that the wooden figures in each of you are different?"

"That's right." Ai Wenrui said, "It's different, this is Xiaosu's wooden figure, I remember it very clearly, because her wooden figure has no head—"

Lin Qiushi: "Where's your wooden man?"

"I threw it away." Ai Wenrui said, "We were all a little scared after the accident, so I just found a random place and threw the wooden man... This, this..."

Gu Longming said: "Could this wooden man have anything to do with how they died?"

Lin Qiushi also thought of it, so both of them turned their attention to Ai Wenrui.

When Ai Wenrui heard the conversation between the two of them, he obviously thought of something, and his expression was filled with panic, "No, no way... But Xiaohe's wooden man, isn't it good? Then he died anyway. ?”

"Who said his wooden man is good." Lin Qiushi asked.

"I saw it, you saw it too—the one they held in their hands—" Ai Wenrui said.

"That may not necessarily be Xiaohe's wooden man." Lin Qiushi said, "Didn't another friend of yours be present at that time? He is still alive. Is it possible that this wooden man belongs to him?"

After Lin Qiushi's reminder, Ai Wenrui obviously wanted to understand something. His complexion became worse and worse, and finally lost his blood color. A sentence was squeezed out: "I don't know, when I arrived, they had already taken out the wooden man." So he couldn't be sure whether the wooden man belonged to Xiaohe who was cut in half, or his friend who escaped in a hurry. of.

"Let's look for information about Zhu Ruyuan." Lin Qiushi said, "And your wooden man, where did you throw it?"

Ai Wenrui's face was ashen, shaking his head and said: "How would I know, I threw it into the trash can—" Who knows what it looks like now.

Gu Longming said: "Okay, don't think about it too much, just lose it if you lose it."

Ai Wenrui didn't say a word for a long time, as if his soul had left his body.

Lin Qiushi was inexplicably fond of this child, and reached out to stroke his furry head: "Let's go, let the matter end as soon as possible, so you don't have to worry about it."

Ai Wenrui didn't respond. .

Zhu Ruyuan happened five years ago. The students in the school didn't seem to have any reaction to this name, but most of the teachers with a long tenure knew her. Even when her name was mentioned, the reaction was very strong. strong.

Lin Qiushi and the others asked many people, and finally a teacher provided them with key information: "If you want to know, you might as well ask the head teacher of that class at that time."

"Oh, is he still in school?" Lin Qiushi asked.

"Yes." The teacher said, "but he is not teaching now, he is managing books in the library."

Lin Qiushi immediately remembered the librarian, and after thanking the teacher, the three of them prepared to go to the library.

"I want to go to the bathroom first." Ever since Ai Wenrui found out about the wooden man, his face had been unsightly. Lin Qiushi was a little worried about him, and said, "Go, it will be fine."

"Yeah." Ai Wenrui nodded.

After he entered, Lin Qiushi looked at Gu Longming and said, "What do you think of him?"

"How? How about what?" Gu Longming was stunned for a while, then quickly said, "I don't like boys——"

Lin Qiushi: "..." He tried his best to control himself so as not to distort his expression, "I didn't ask you this!"

"Then what do you mean? Oh...you mean whether Ai Wenrui can be trusted?" Gu Longming said, "I think he must have something to hide from us, but it shouldn't be something particularly important."

"Hmm." Lin Qiushi pondered for a moment, thinking about certain issues.

Ai Wenrui went there quickly and came back quickly. After a while, there was the sound of flushing water inside. He went outside and said weakly to Gu Longming: "It seems that I have diarrhea. I feel really uncomfortable."

"Uncomfortable? Do you want me to carry you?" Ai Wenrui was skinny, and Gu Longming had no problem carrying him, like carrying a bag of rice.

Lin Qiushi originally thought that Ai Wenrui would refuse, but he just nodded and agreed.

Gu Longming bent down, carried Ai Wenrui on his back, and said, "Let's go, don't waste time."

Lin Qiushi hummed, and the three of them were walking a few steps forward. Just as they were about to enter the elevator, they heard a terrified cry from behind them. As soon as the cry came out, Lin Qiushi's body, including Gu Longming's, froze instantly, because The owner of this voice was Ai Wenrui who should have been saddened by Gu Longming on his back.

"You—what are you carrying—" Lin Qiushi turned his head and saw Ai Wenrui standing outside the toilet, casting terrified eyes at them.

Gu Longming also let out a scream, and threw the things he was carrying behind him directly to the ground.

Lin Qiushi heard the sound of a hard object breaking, and looked down, but found that Gu Longming was actually carrying a plaster statue. At this time, the statue fell to the ground and broke into several pieces.

"Fuck, shit, shit—" Gu Longming cursed and patted himself on the back, "What the hell is this?"

Lin Qiushi looked down at the statue, slowly bent down, and found a few pieces of residue from the fragments of the statue. He frowned: "This..." He took out the residue and found that these wooden residues were just right. belong to the same puppet.

Ai Wenrui's expression was already dull, he walked forward slowly a few steps, saw the thing in Lin Qiushi's hand, and tremblingly said: "This, this is my wooden man."

Lin Qiushi: "..."

Ai Wenrui said: "This is my wooden man—" His wooden man was smashed to pieces, his limbs were shattered into pieces that couldn't be put together, and if their guess was right, then he would die in the same way , leaving this world tragically.

Lin Qiushi thought that Ai Wenrui would cry when he saw the wooden man, but unexpectedly he pulled out a crying smile and said, "I, am I going to die too?"

To be honest, after entering the door for so long, Lin Qiushi seldom saw such a vivid NPC, and even gave Lin Qiushi the illusion that he was actually an outsider.Most of the NPCs inside the door were scary and weird, and the only one Xu Jin who left an impression on Lin Qiushi was an NPC disguised as an outsider.

"Don't worry, you'll be fine." Gu Longming said comfortingly, "Let's go to the library first and find Zhu Ruyuan early, maybe we can end this matter."

Ai Wenrui didn't speak, but nodded numbly.

This time they didn't dare to waste any more time, and the three went straight to the library.

The librarian I met before was sitting at the front desk reading a book at the moment. When he heard Lin Qiushi's footsteps, he didn't raise his head too much, but said indifferently: "The archives are upstairs, and no one is currently borrowing them."

"Hello." Lin Qiushi said, "You are Zhu Ruyuan's head teacher, right?"

When the librarian heard the name Zhu Ruyuan, he stopped turning the pages of the book, and his eyes became a little gloomy: "Where did you hear this name?"

Lin Qiushi said: "She is your student, right?"

The librarian said, "Yes."

"Can you tell me something about her?" Lin Qiushi pointed to the various statues in the lobby on the first floor, "And these statues."

"She's my student and I'm her teacher, that's all," he said. "What do you want to know?"

"How did she die?" Lin Qiushi said, "Or, does her death have anything to do with these statues?"

The librarian put down the book in his hand, and said calmly: "She committed suicide. As for the relationship between these statues and her, have you seen Zhu Ruyuan's sculptures?"

Lin Qiushi should have never seen it before, but he remembered the statue of a woman hidden in the activity room, and said, "Is it a woman?"

Zhu Ruyuan's class teacher said: "Yes, she is a woman who uses herself as a model." He said, "Very beautiful, but it's just beautiful, and there is something important missing." He stood up and pointed to the first floor Those statues with different postures but very similar appearances, "But these statues are not bad, they are all perfect works."

Lin Qiushi: "..."

Gu Longming obviously disliked the head teacher who was playing tricks and said, "Perfect? ​​How can something that looks similar be perfect?"

After he said this, the head teacher laughed contemptuously: "You don't understand anything."

"What kind of person is Zhu Ruyuan?" Lin Qiushi continued to ask.

"She? A very demanding creator." The head teacher seemed to be fulfilling his obligation, and told them Zhu Ruyuan's information without emotion, "She can't tolerate flaws..."

"How does she treat defective products?" Lin Qiushi asked.

"Nature is destruction." The class teacher said, "Defective products really have no value in existence."

Lin Qiushi said: "So when she discovered that the sculpture modeled on herself was flawed, she destroyed herself?" His gaze moved to the pocket of the class teacher's shirt, "What's in your pocket?"

The head teacher didn't answer, but just gave Lin Qiushi a cold look,

Lin Qiushi said: "Can you show me what's in your pocket?"

He still didn't move, but Gu Longming no longer had the patience to continue spending time with him, so he reached out and grabbed his collar and pulled him over.His actions were very rude, and it could be seen that he was already very impatient with the npc with a bad attitude in front of him.

"What are you doing—" the head teacher yelled, and before he could react, Gu Longming grabbed his shirt pocket.

Gu Longming took out what was in his shirt pocket, and it turned out to be a wooden doll, just like what they had seen before.

"Wooden doll?!" Ai Wenrui widened his eyes, "Where did you get it, and did the senior sister give it to you?"

Seeing the wooden doll being pinched by Gu Longming, the homeroom teacher suddenly became nervous and said, "Give it back to me—" He stretched out his hand to pull it.

Gu Longming didn't want to let go just like that, the two of them pulled a cart like this, and the wooden man who didn't explain it was directly torn to pieces like this.

"Ahhh!!" The man saw the torn wooden man, and let out a horrifying howl, his expression extremely horrifying, "Give it back to me, give it back to me!"

Gu Longming was startled by the man's cry, he let go on reflex, and let the wooden man fall to the ground.

And the librarian picked up the wooden figure in a panic, glanced at the statues on the first floor, then turned and ran away in a panic, as if there was a ghost chasing after him.

Gu Longming said: "Fuck, how could he have such a thing, could it be—"

His eyes met with Lin Qiushi's, and they both said the answer they thought in their hearts at the same time: "Could it be that he wished?"

Now it seems that there is no answer to this question for the time being, but it is clear that Zhu Ruyuan is the source of everything.

While Lin Qiushi was talking to Gu Longming, Lin Qiushi suddenly heard a subtle cracking sound, as if something like a stone was split, he immediately became vigilant, raised his head and looked towards the source of the sound However, the huge chandelier hanging on the ceiling on the first floor was actually about to fall.

"Get out of here!" Lin Qiushi immediately grabbed the two of them and left the place. They had just taken two steps forward when the chandelier hit the ground. One can imagine that if they were still underneath, they would probably be crushed like watermelons. It was smashed to pieces.

It is not an accident if there are too many accidents. This is not the first time that this kind of thing has happened. The glass before and the chandelier now seem to be a countdown to death. He is telling Ai Wenrui that his life seems to have entered the countdown, and he may be killed by ghosts at any time. take away.

"I don't know what to do." Ai Wenrui squatted on the ground, as if he was scared out of strength, "Am I going to die, I don't want to die..."

Lin Qiushi said, "Do you still have something to hide from us?"

Ai Wenrui glanced at Lin Qiushi.

Gu Longming said: "It's already this time, your life is about to die, why don't you say it?"

Ai Wenrui was silent for a moment, then whispered: "I don't know if I should say it or not."

"Why shouldn't you say it?" Lin Qiushi didn't understand what he meant.

"Because they didn't let me talk about it." Ai Wenrui said, "They asked me to keep it a secret..." He leaned against the wall, "I thought I would always keep it a secret for them."

"What's going on?" Gu Longming asked.

Ai Wenrui said: "Do you still remember the man who survived in the group photo? It's the one named Zhou Hanshan."

Lin Qiushi nodded, indicating that he remembered.

"He is in a relationship with Zhu Ruyuan." Ai Wenrui said, "It's been a long time... At least half a year."

"What??" Gu Longming couldn't believe it, "Is he dating a dead man?"

"Yeah, I also find it unbelievable." Ai Wenrui was a little depressed, "But they are indeed in a relationship, and I saw them kissing, but not many people know about it, and they have been keeping it secret..."

Lin Qiushi quietly waited for him to continue.

"He also proposed to play this game." Ai Wenrui said, "He said that he is idle anyway, why not play the campus legend in the school. Say you know a more interesting way to play."

Gu Longming: "She took out all these wooden figures?"

Ai Wenrui said: "Yes, she took them all out." He said, "But we are a sculpture club, it's not strange to have these appearances, everyone didn't take it to heart, and then Zhou Hanshan removed the statue from I took it out from the utility room..." He lowered his eyes, as if he was thinking carefully about what happened that day, "I didn't seem to see Zhu Ruyuan after that."

"She's gone." Ai Wenrui's narration slowed down, as if he was trying to restrain the fear in his heart, he said, "Then we went to the statue, cut our own skin, and smeared the blood on the wooden man. Above, I made my wish... After that, the wish came true."

However, the price for making wishes come true is the young life of each of them.

For every statue put in a library, a man dies.The stiff appearance of these statues seems to have imprinted all the unwilling expressions of the dead, which is extremely terrifying.

"Zhou Hanshan, it's him." Ai Wenrui finally understood everything, "It was he who guided us to do this, and he was helping Zhu Ruyuan, so..." He raised his head in a daze, "He knows Is my girlfriend a dead person?"

"Do you know, if you find him, you'll be fine." Gu Longming clenched his fists, "This kind of person who cheats friends for his girlfriend is really a fucking thing."

"Where is he possibly now?" Lin Qiushi asked.

"Maybe in the dormitory." Ai Wenrui said, "But... I can't be sure."
