Kaleidoscope of Death

Zhu Ruyuan is not human, which means they have no way to find her now.But although she couldn't find her, he could find Zhou Hanshan who was still alive.

Ai Wenrui knew the address of Zhou Hanshan's dormitory, so the three of them went straight to the dormitory.

On the way there, Lin Qiushi met the girl named Zuo Sisi again. She and her partner were sitting on the edge of the flower bed in the school, holding an object in their hands, and they seemed to be discussing something.

Gu Longming saw the things in their hands from a distance, and he was surprised: "It's a puppet, where did they find the puppet—"

Lin Qiushi remembered the two outsiders who died last night, thought for a while, walked up to Zuo Sisi, and greeted them: "Zuo Sisi, what are you doing?"

Seeing them coming, Zuo Sisi hid the wooden man and said with a smile, "It's nothing, just chat casually."

Lin Qiushi had a good impression of this girl, and he didn't make a fuss, and said, "You also found the wooden man?"

"Hmm..." Zuo Sisi said vaguely, "What?"

"Now that you have found it, keep it well." Lin Qiushi said, "I also found the wooden figure on the body of the person who died this morning. The head on the wooden figure was gone. I suspect that the wooden figure has something to do with the way those two people died."

The companion next to Zuo Sisi's face changed greatly upon hearing this: "What?"

Seeing his flustered look, Gu Longming said, "Hey, you should have already thrown it away, right?"

"I...I..." He pointed to the pond behind him, his face turned pale, "I thought this thing was unlucky just now, so I just threw one in!"

"Then what should we do? Nothing will happen to you!" Zuo Sisi also panicked.

"I'll go get it back!" His companion said hastily.

"Wait--" Before Lin Qiushi came to remember to stop, he saw Zuo Sisi's companion jumping directly into the pond behind him.

This is the school's landscape pond, which is very shallow. A 1.7-meter-high man stood in the water only up to the bend of his legs. According to normal conditions, he would not drown in it.

But the world inside the door obviously cannot be measured by the word normal.

After entering the water, the man bent down and wanted to touch the wooden man out. The water around him seemed to be boiling, and the water surface began to roll violently. Seeing this, Lin Qiushi hurriedly called: "Come out——"

Hearing this, the man just took a step towards where they were, when countless pairs of stiff, pale hands emerged from the emerald green water, grabbed his body, and began to drag him to the bottom of the pond.

Lin Qiushi reacted the fastest, and rushed to the edge of the pond with a brisk stride, and grabbed the man's frantic waving hand: "Help him quickly—"

Zuo Sisi, Gu Longming and Ai Wenrui also hurriedly followed, hugged Lin Qiushi's body and dragged them both back.

The four of them worked together and finally rescued the person who was almost dragged down in the pond. The person almost didn't cry when he was dragged up, and said, "It's so f*cking scary—my pants were dragged off." ——" His outer jeans were abruptly dragged into the pond, and now only a pair of fancy boxers remained on his body.

"Tsk." Zuo Sisi cast a disgusted look at him, "You're actually wearing these kind of pants."

Companion: "..." That's right, if he knew that he would take off his pants in public, he would have chosen a better suit.

Lin Qiushi exhaled and said, "I suggest you stay away from places with water recently."

"Okay, thank you for reminding me, where are you going?" Zuo Sisi also felt that Lin Qiushi's team was a bit different.

Lin Qiushi said: "Go to the dormitory... Where did you find this wooden man?"

"It's in the activity room of the sculpture club." Zuo Sisi answered Lin Qiushi's question this time, "We found out that all the students who died seemed to have participated in the sculpture club, so we went there to have a look."

It seems that almost everyone knows this information, but their luck is not as good as that of Lin Qiushi, and they have not met an NPC like Ai Wenrui who knows the details.

"Let's go, if you don't go, you will have to go to class again." Ai Wenrui whispered beside him.

Zuo Sisi glanced at Ai Wenrui, with something else in her eyes, and she said, "I wish you all good luck."

"Good luck." Lin Qiushi nodded, pointing to Zuo Sisi's companion, "Go find a pair of pants and put them on."

Companion in underwear: "...Okay, thank you for your concern."

The three went to the dormitory. According to Ai Wenrui, Zhou Hanshan lived in room 307.

But the three of them knocked on the door outside for a long time, but no one inside responded.

"No, why don't we go." Ai Wenrui said.

Gu Longming said: "Who are you going, what are you going to do, can't you go in?" He cast his eyes on Lin Qiushi.

Lin Qiushi: "..." He was silent for three seconds, "Please help me to see if anyone else has seen it."

It was only then that Ai Wenrui remembered that Lin Qiushi could unlock the lock. His expression was a bit complicated, and he hummed lightly.

A few minutes later, they entered Zhou Hanshan's dormitory.

But after entering, I found that the dormitory was empty, and no one lived here at all.The balconies both inside and out were empty, and from the state of the gutters and dust, it hadn't been lived in for a long time.

"Zhou Hanshan came home?" Lin Qiushi asked.

"I don't know, I haven't seen him for a while since the accident." Ai Wenrui said, "But I haven't heard about his dropping out of school." After he finished speaking, he smiled self-deprecatingly , "Maybe he dropped out of school, but I don't know... After all, at this time, who has the extra energy to care about other people."

Lin Qiushi thought for a while, then suddenly asked: "Can you contact that friend from before?"

"Which one?" Avery said.

"It was the three in the classroom at that time." Lin Qiushi said, "You, Xiaohe, and the one who ran away from the door—can you contact that person?"

"I'm not sure." Ai Wenrui shook his head, "I'm sure he will answer my call..."

Lin Qiushi said: "You call him first."

Ai Wenrui nodded, picked up his mobile phone and dialed a number. After the phone rang for about ten seconds, he was still connected. A boy's voice came from the other end, saying: "Hello."

Hearing this person's voice, Ai Wenrui was about to speak, but there was a loud noise from the glass next to him. Lin Qiushi looked up and found a round object was thrown in directly from the window, after smashing the glass , the thing rolled straight in front of them.

Ai Wenrui looked at the things on the ground and fell into a sluggish mood. His mobile phone was on the speakerphone, and his friend's voice was still coming from the speakerphone.

"Why don't you talk?" The person on the other end of the phone asked, "Is there something wrong, do you need me to come and see you?"

Ai Wenrui lowered his head, looking at the things on the ground.

It was the head of a person, cut off from the neck by a sharp thing, and it was still dripping with blood. If it was just an ordinary head, it would be fine, but...

Ai Wenrui turned his head stiffly and looked at the phone that was still ringing. The head of the owner of the phone was lying quietly in front of him at this moment, staring at him with those dull eyes.

"Speak, why don't you speak--" Something on the other end of the phone continued to speak, but the voice was a little more weird and distorted, "Speak, why don't you speak?" Mixed with some messy background music, it sounds even more creepy.

"Obviously it's you..." The voice continued, but Ai Wenrui seemed to be unable to bear it anymore, screaming and throwing the phone out of the window, saying: "Ahhhhhh!!! He's dead , I’m going to die too!! Help!! Help!!”

"Calm down!!" Seeing Ai Wenrui's appearance of going crazy, Gu Longming quickly reached out and grabbed him. He was really afraid that the child would be over-stimulated and jumped out of the window.

"Help, help, I don't want to die—" Ai Wenrui cried.

Lin Qiushi said: "You take him back to the dormitory!"

Gu Longming said, "What about you?"

Lin Qiushi said: "I have something to confirm—"

Gu Longming glanced at Ai Wenrui, then at Lin Qiushi, with a hesitant expression, obviously entangled between Lin Qiushi and Ai Wenrui.Although Ai Wenrui looks very real, in the final analysis, he is just an npc inside the door. If something happens to Lin Qiushi in order to protect him, it will not be worth the candle.

"It's okay, you can go." Lin Qiushi said, "I'll be back soon."

Seeing Lin Qiushi's determined expression, Gu Longming could only nod in the end, carried Ai Wenrui on his back and left.

Looking at the backs of the two, Lin Qiushi cast his eyes on the smashed window and the dead head on the ground.

"When did you die?" Lin Qiushi looked at his head and muttered to himself, "Was it today, yesterday, or..." He stopped here, turned around and went downstairs, looking for what he wanted to find. s things.

Soon, Lin Qiushi found a mobile phone with a cracked screen in the corner of the bush.He pressed the power button and kept praying in his heart. His luck was good. The phone displayed a boot screen. Although the screen was cracked and some details could not be seen clearly, it had no effect.

Lin Qiushi took the mobile phone and began to rummage through the address book inside.He found the row of names beginning with the letter z, but he didn't find the name Zhou Hanshan.

It seems that Ai Wenrui is not lying when he said that he is not familiar with Zhou Hanshan.

Lin Qiushi pinched the phone, and suddenly thought of something else, he opened the call log, and saw the name on the latest call log: Xiaozhuan.

Xiaozhuan should be the name of Ai Wenrui's friend.

Lin Qiushi returned to the desktop again, clicked into the text message list, he saw the message sent by Xiao Zhuan to Ai Wenrui, clicked in directly, and saw a recent text message.

The text message was sent last night. When Lin Qiushi saw the content of the text message, his expression froze.

Because at the top of the text message, there was a name they were very familiar with: Zhou Hanshan, what should we do?

Seeing this text message, Lin Qiushi felt that the situation was not good, and immediately remembered Gu Longming who brought Ai Wenrui back to the dormitory, and immediately turned and ran towards the dormitory.

Along the way, Lin Qiushi was sorting out the information Ai Wenrui gave them.

Almost all the information they knew about the sculpture, Zhu Ruyuan, and making wishes was given to them by Ai Wenrui, which meant that even if Ai Wenrui lied, they would not be able to tell the difference.Ai Wenrui said that he was just an innocent victim, but the name of the owner of the mobile phone in the text message revealed his identity.

He is Zhou Hanshan, the Zhou Hanshan who fell in love with Zhu Ruyuan.

He deceived the members of the sculpture club and asked them to smear blood on the wood carvings, and then make a wish.Naturally, Ai Wenrui will not die, because he is very likely to be the only one who knows the truth...Of course, all of this is Lin Qiushi's guess.

Panting, Lin Qiushi arrived at the downstairs of the dormitory. He climbed to the second floor with difficulty and knocked heavily on the door: "Gu Longming, Gu Longming, are you there!"

After a while, the door opened, and Gu Longming's face appeared behind the door: "Keep down, he's asleep."

"Is Ai Wenrui asleep?" Lin Qiushi looked into the room, and sure enough, he saw a thin figure huddled on the bed in the corner. Judging from his back, it was Ai Wenrui.

"En." Gu Longming said softly, "Why are you in such a hurry, what did you find out?"

Lin Qiushi said: "Come out and say it."

The two walked to the end of the corridor and found a remote corner. Lin Qiushi went straight to the point: "Ai Wenrui is not Ai Wenrui, but Zhou Hanshan."

"What? What?" Gu Longming obviously couldn't understand the meaning of Lin Qiushi's words at once. He repeated it several times, and reached out and grabbed Lin Qiushi's arm. He said in amazement, "Zhou Hanshan, is that Zhou Hanshan?"

"Well, yes." Lin Qiushi said, "That's him."

"Then what's the situation?" Gu Longming said, "He's been lying to us... is he trying to kill us? Or is there some other purpose..." He is a little confused now, Ai Wenrui... no, it's Zhou Han Shan almost led them all the way to understand the whole picture of the whole thing.

From the sculpture club, to Zhu Ruyuan, to supernatural games, and the wishes they made, Gu Longming really didn't understand what he wanted to do.

"Then what shall we do next?" Gu Longming touched his face, "Damn it, you actually lied to us, it's a pity I've been carrying him for so long."

"Let's show the cards." Lin Qiushi said, "Don't waste time guessing."

"That's fine." Gu Longming said, "Anyway, he's a human being, so I'm not afraid of him being a monster."

He seemed to be a little annoyed at being tricked by Ai Wenrui, he turned aggressively and pushed the door in, grabbed the drowsy Ai Wenrui from the bed, and said: "Zhou Hanshan——"

After Zhou Hanshan was woken up, his face was blank: "What's the matter?" After he asked this for two seconds, he realized that Gu Longming's name was not Ai Wenrui but Zhou Hanshan, and then his face changed drastically, his voice trembling. Said: "You know..."

"Yeah." Lin Qiushi threw the phone in front of Zhou Hanshan, "You mentioned this name in the text message on your phone."

Zhou Hanshan looked dull.

"Tell me, who are you and why are you lying to us?" Gu Longming said, "What do you want?"

Zhou Hanshan smiled wryly: "I...I didn't want to lie to you, but if I told you that I am Zhou Hanshan, you would definitely not believe me."

Lin Qiushi and Gu Longming did not speak.

"They all know that Zhou Hanshan is in a relationship with Zhu Ruyuan." Zhou Hanshan said, "I'm just afraid that you think I have some bad intentions...Actually..."

"Actually, you didn't?" Lin Qiushi looked into his eyes, "Do you think we can believe it?"

Zhou Hanshan was silent for a moment: "Then what will happen before you can trust me."

Lin Qiushi: "Do you know that Zhu Ruyuan is dead?"

Zhou Hanshan shook his head: "I didn't know, until that time when I was playing games..." He covered his face with his hands, his shoulders began to shake, "I found, found that she has no shadow."

At that time, everyone's attention was on the sculpture, Zhou Hanshan held the smiling Zhu Ruyuan in his arms, the two were talking quietly, but Zhou Hanshan felt something was wrong.

He lowered his head, with a little doubt in his expression, and even raised his hand to rub his eyes.

However, no matter how much he rubbed his eyes, the shadow on the ground was only his own... and the girl in his arms didn't seem to exist at all.

After discovering this, the chill crawled up Zhou Hanshan's back little by little, and the people beside him seemed to notice his strangeness, and asked softly, "Honey, what's wrong with you?"

"It's nothing." Zhou Hanshan said, "I'm just a little tired." He saw the friends standing in front of him, laughing and pricking their fingers, and smeared the bright red blood on the wooden figurine.His arms were originally around the person beside him, but when he found that there was no shadow of the person beside him, he felt that the place where his skin touched her became stiff and cold, as if... what he was hugging was a statue.

When recalling this, Zhou Hanshan was shaking all over his body, and he tremblingly said: "I wanted to stop them, but I couldn't speak at all."

"Are you dripping with blood too?" Gu Longming asked.

"Dropped, I was the first." Zhou Hanshan's tone was full of remorse when he said this, "It's just that I was not sincere when I made my wish, and I didn't sign up for that competition afterwards."

Without registration, it is naturally impossible to win the award. Zhou Hanshan escaped like this.

Gu Longming said: "Why didn't you sign up? Doesn't your sculpture club care about this award?"

"Haha." Zhou Hanshan laughed dryly, "Isn't my grades bad..."

"Really?" Gu Longming still didn't believe it.

"It's true!" Zhou Hanshan was a little desperate, "Believe me...there are still photos of my sculptures in the mobile phone, if you don't believe it, if you don't believe it, you can look it up."

Gu Longming took the phone suspiciously: "Don't think I can't read it." He flipped through the photo album and found Zhou Hanshan's sculpture.

Lin Qiushi glanced at the sculpture and fell silent with Gu Longming. Finally, Gu Longming choked out a sentence: "Fuck, you really study art? What kind of silly thing is this sculpture?"

Zhou Hanshan: "...that's too much."

Although Zhou Hanshan had a headache for his homework most of the time, he did not expect that this time he was blessed by misfortune and escaped disaster like this.

When the results were announced, the winners were very happy, and they were still discussing with each other that they didn't expect the campus legend to be true... Of course, what they didn't expect was the painful price that this award would have to pay.

"So what are you trying to do by lying to us?" Gu Longming asked.

"Actually... Actually, I just want to stop everything." Zhou Hanshan tremblingly said, "Everything started because of me, so I should naturally let it end..."

"How does it end?" Lin Qiushi asked.

"I went to check a lot of information. In fact, the school has this campus legend for a long time." Zhou Hanshan said, "It's just that Zhu Ruyuan didn't tell us the last part of this campus legend."

"The last part?" Gu Longming sat up straight.

"It must be exchanged at equal value. The statue has helped you realize your wish, so you have to help the statue realize your wish." Zhou Hanshan said, "It's just that I really can't figure out what the statue's wish is. If her wish is to make her wish do we die?"

Listening to Zhou Hanshan's words, Lin Qiushi remembered the sentence in the clue, an eye for an eye with an eye for an eye.

He and Gu Longming looked at each other for a moment, and they reached a perfect understanding at this moment.

"Why didn't you tell us about this earlier?" Gu Longming was still struggling with Zhou Hanshan's deceiving them.

Zhou Hanshan lowered his head and said nothing.

Lin Qiushi understood the meaning hidden in his expression, and he said, "Does Zhu Ruyuan's wish have anything to do with you?"

Zhou Hanshan trembled all over, and said in a crying voice: "I don't want to die..."

His words almost agreed with Lin Qiushi's guess.

Zhu Ruyuan and Zhou Hanshan are lovers, and Zhou Hanshan has never dared to tell them about this, so Lin Qiushi has reason to guess that Zhu Ruyuan's wish is for Zhou Hanshan to be with him.

But it is impossible to resurrect the dead, so the simpler method is to kill the living.

"Please, I really don't want to die." Zhou Hanshan cried, "I'm really scared—"

"Do you like her?" Gu Longming asked, frowning.

"Maybe, I don't know anymore." Zhou Hanshan said, "Since I found out that she is not alive, the memory of being with her before has become blurred... I almost don't even remember." He was He spoke at a loss, but stopped, and looked at the window next to him with strong fear in his eyes.

Lin Qiushi followed his gaze, but saw a woman with long hair and a pale face, standing quietly by the window, looking at the people in the room with a very vicious look—they were on the second floor. There is nothing outside the window, there is no doubt that this girl is the girl who used to be with Zhou Hanshan, Zhu Ruyuan.

When Zhou Hanshan saw Zhu Ruyuan, he let out a scream and fainted on the bed again.But in such a short time, the figure by the window had disappeared, and the pale face just now seemed to be just their illusion.

But Lin Qiushi and Gu Longming knew very well that Zhu Ruyuan had really been here...
