Kaleidoscope of Death

Zhu Ruyuan came, not only came, but also heard all the content of their conversation.

Zhou Hanshan was so frightened that he trembled, like a frightened little mouse, holding his breath, as if there was a ferocious predator squatting beside him that might appear at any time.

"She heard it..." Zhou Hanshan tremblingly said, "She heard everything."

Gu Longming patted him on the shoulder and comforted him carelessly: "Don't think too much, anyway, she wants your life even if she didn't hear it, so it doesn't matter if she hears it or not?"

Zhou Hanshan said that he was really not comforted.

Without Lin Qiushi and Gu Longming, he would probably have died several times.Whether it is the suddenly broken glass of the teaching building, or the huge chandelier falling from the library, they are telling him that he is being chased by something, and if he is not careful, he may lose his life.

"What should I do?" Zhou Hanshan murmured looking at Lin Qiushi, with a dull expression as if he had lost all his strength.

"Things will always be resolved." Lin Qiushi said, "Recall carefully, did she do anything special when you made your wish?"

If Zhou Hanshan hadn't lied, then the student's wishing ceremony most likely had a huge problem.They started, but failed to finish, allowing Zhu Ruyuan to attack them at will.

"Special action?" Zhou Hanshan said, "Special action..." After thinking for a while, he shook his head and said, "There is no special action." He paused for a moment, and said in an uncertain tone, " The body has become the texture of a statue...is this a special move?"

"The body has become the texture of a statue?" Gu Longming said, "The appearance of the person has not changed?"

"No." Zhou Hanshan said with certainty, "It hasn't changed..." If people turned into statues, they would definitely be noticed by the people around them.

Lin Qiushi suddenly thought of something, he said: "Who is the first person among you to make a wish?"

"It's me." Zhou Hanshan raised his hand.

"She didn't make a wish?" Lin Qiushi asked.

"Her? She is...Zhu Ruyuan?" Zhou Hanshan recalled for a moment, "No, she made a wish." Then he showed a creepy expression, "Yes... she was the first one to make a wish! How could I forget that Important things." Only after knowing that Zhu Ruyuan is not a human being, he acquiesced that Zhu Ruyuan's act of making a wish was meaningless, and after Lin Qiushi's reminder, Zhou Hanshan suddenly realized that the person who made the wish in the first place was actually her.

"What wish did she make?" Lin Qiushi asked.

"She...she..." Zhou Hanshan said, "I don't know, she said that the wish she made is to win an award, but I don't believe it now, I suspect she is lying to me." After discovering Zhu Ruyuan's true identity, he There is no trust in Zhu Ruyuan.

Lin Qiushi and Gu Longming didn't speak, they both thought about what Zhou Hanshan said.

Perhaps Zhu Ruyuan's wish was not to be rewarded as she said at all, but to hope that all the people around her would die, and at this time her wishes were indeed being fulfilled one by one. Only Zhou Hanshan was left as a survivor.

Gu Longming glanced at Lin Qiushi, his eyes did not hide anything, so Lin Qiuhui understood his meaning almost instantly.

"Go out and smoke a cigarette." Lin Qiushi invited him.

"Okay." Gu Longming nodded.

Zhou Hanshan lowered his head, looking listless, Gu Longming asked him to sleep for a while, so that he could finish his meal when he got up.

Zhou Hanshan replied vaguely, apparently unable to fall asleep.

When the two arrived in the corridor, Gu Longming lit a cigarette and handed Lin Qiushi one as well.

Lin Qiushi still rejected his offer.

"What do you think?" Gu Longming said, "You must have some idea, right?"

Lin Qiushi leaned against the railing, folded his hands and said, "Do you think NPCs are human?"

Gu Longming tilted his head, and he said: "No... If you look at the standards I used to enter the door, those NPCs are not human beings." Take the courtyard hostess who entered the previous door, although she is tall Although she looks like a human, she is more terrifying than a ghost, so it is difficult to treat her as a human being.But Zhou Hanshan is different, although he was born in the sect, he can cry and laugh, he is a lively person.If it weren't for the weird surroundings, Gu Longming would have even wondered if someone outside the door was pretending to be an NPC.

"So will you do it?" Lin Qiushi asked the key question, "If Zhou Hanshan is the key person."

After the conversation with Zhou Hanshan just now, both of them clearly grasped the crux of the problem - Zhu Ruyuan's wish has not been fulfilled.

So now the question is, what if Zhu Ruyuan's wish is for Zhou Hanshan's death?In order to realize Zhu Ruyuan's wish, do they want to stand by and watch Zhou Hanshan's life, or even help Zhu Ruyuan?Both Lin Qiushi and Gu Longming thought of this problem at the first time, so they came to the corridor in tacit understanding and lit a cigarette.

"I can't do it." Gu Longming's attitude was very straightforward, "He is too human-like, I can't treat him as an NPC."

Lin Qiushi didn't speak.

"What about you?" Gu Longming said, "Can you do it?" He shook the cigarette ash in his hands a little irritably, "Actually, you don't need to do it. He is so timid, and Zhu Ruyuan has always wanted his life. If he is driven out, he probably won't survive the next day."

Lin Qiushi thought of Zhou Hanshan trembling with a crying voice, so he could only sigh deeply.This is the first time he has encountered such a situation, which is almost equal to a test of human nature.

However, Lin Qiushi was only fortunate that Gu Longming and him were relatively rational, and if Zhou Hanshan met other people, he would most likely have been driven away.After all, to outsiders, he is just an npc, so it is more important to find the door earlier and leave here.

"What should I do?" Gu Longming had already finished his cigarette.

Lin Qiushi looked down at the courtyard downstairs, exhaled, and said, "We can't kill him, at least we can't take the initiative to kill him."

Gu Longming nodded, threw the cigarette butt into the trash can, turned around and entered the house.He didn't ask the question that Lin Qiushi was least willing to think about - what if Zhou Hanshan didn't die and they couldn't leave the door.

Lin Qiushi was still standing in the corridor. In fact, deep down in his heart, he always felt that this multiple-choice question was like a trap. People in the door would generally not encourage them to kill each other, so why would they somehow support them in killing NPCs?

Lin Qiushi leaned against the railing and continued to think about whether he had missed any important clues.

Dinner is still eaten in the school cafeteria, and the taste is very ordinary.

Everyone had something on their minds, and they all looked like they couldn't eat, and finally came back without eating much.

When he came back, Lin Qiushi met several people in the team. They were not familiar with Lin Qiushi, and they just greeted him casually when they saw him.

Lin Qiushi thought about it, and decided to tell them about the wooden man, so that they would not throw the wooden man into the water like Zuo Sisi's companion did, causing accidents.

These people listened to Lin Qiushi's words, some people believed it, some people didn't believe it, but Lin Qiushi didn't care much about their attitude, anyway, he just wanted to make himself feel at ease.

It was getting dark quickly, and it was going to be night soon.

Zhou Hanshan sat on the bed, looking very depressed. He said, "Does Zhu Ruyuan's wish want us all to die?"

Lin Qiushi: "What?" His expression suddenly became serious, "What did you say?"

Zhou Hanshan was taken aback by Lin Qiushi's expression, and said in a low voice, "I mean, is Zhu Ruyuan's wish that we all die..."

Lin Qiushi sat up from the bed all of a sudden, he said: "This is a paradox!"

"What do you mean?" Gu Longming didn't understand.

"Now Zhou Hanshan has not won the award, which means that his wish has not been fulfilled, which does not meet the principle of equal value exchange! But if Zhu Ruyuan's wish is that Zhou Hanshan goes down to accompany her, then Zhou Hanshan's wish is doomed to fail. The solution has been achieved." Lin Qiushi felt that he had touched the key clue, "So at least for now, the statue should not attack you, because it has not fulfilled its wish for you! Maybe our previous guess was wrong..."

"That's right, they died because their wishes came true, but mine didn't." Zhou Hanshan said, "Then what does that mean?"

"It's very simple." Lin Qiushi said, "It means that it may not be the statue that did it to you."

Zhou Hanshan: "What is that?"

"What else is it, it's your girlfriend." Gu Longming laughed, "She can't wait for you to accompany her."

Zhou Hanshan's face was ashen, expressing that the joke was not funny.

Lin Qiushi said: "We have to go to see that statue again. By the way, do you have any rigid requirements for time when you hold the ceremony?"

"A rigid requirement?" Zhou Hanshan said, "I don't know about this, anyway, when we made our wish, it was at night." He saw the dark night outside through the window, "It's a very ordinary night."

"Yeah." Lin Qiushi nodded, "Sleep, I'll see it tomorrow."

He said he was sleeping, but in fact Zhou Hanshan couldn't sleep at all. Zhu Ruyuan, who was staring at him at the window during the day, left a deep shadow on him, making him involuntarily turn his eyes to the window... Although the curtains have been drawn at this moment on.

Gu Longming was the one who fell asleep the fastest, and when he closed his eyes, his even breathing sounded in the room.

Lin Qiushi was in a light sleep, half asleep and half awake, and a slight sound could wake him up from his dream.He thought he would be woken up by some strange noise tonight, but he slept until dawn.

When he got up in the morning, he went to see Zhou Hanshan first, and when he was sure that he was still alive, he was inexplicably relieved.

But while they survived the night safely, something happened to the others.

Two people died that night, and the death conditions were quite miserable. It looked like they were directly dismembered by something.

Zuo Sisi was also there when Lin Qiushi went to see their corpses. She had dark circles under her eyes and saw Lin Qiushi smiled wryly: "Good morning."

"Good morning." Lin Qiushi said, "Did you sleep well last night?"

"Of course it's bad." Zuo Sisi said, "My friend was almost drowned last night."

Lin Qiushi said: "Drown? Where did you drown?" The place where there is water in this dormitory is the toilet.

"Washbasin." Zuo Sisi said, "I heard a little movement in the middle of the night last night, and when I got up, I found him squatting in the toilet, burying his face in the washbasin filled with water..." She sighed, "I tried to pull him out of it, but he was too strong..."

Lin Qiushi: "Is he all right?"

"It's okay." Zuo Sisi said, "Fortunately, the water basin is made of plastic. I went to the kitchen to find a knife and poked a hole in the water basin." She looked at the room of the two people who were dismembered, "These two people I'm afraid the wooden man was not directly dismantled..."

The wooden man was dismantled yesterday, and he himself was dismantled today. There is really no ambiguity at all.

"What about you, don't you have a wooden man?" Zuo Sisi asked Lin Qiushi.

Lin Qiushi shook his head, indicating that they did not take the wooden man out of the activity room.

"Okay, I really want to find the door and leave here early." Zuo Sisi was a little annoyed, "This kind of thing is impossible to guard against... Who knows how long it will last." After saying this, she turned and left.

Lin Qiushi walked into the room of the two deceased, and found the scattered limbs of the wooden figure in the corner of the room. He picked up the wooden figure, and after careful observation, he frowned slightly. He seemed to find something wrong...

A few minutes later, Lin Qiushi put the wooden figure in front of Zhou Hanshan: "Is there any difference between this wooden figure and yours?"

Zhou Hanshan glanced at it: "It seems to be similar, but mine is a little rougher."

Zhou Hanshan's wooden man and the others had also seen it before. In the statue that Gu Longming smashed that day, the wooden man was also shattered, but Lin Qiushi clearly remembered that the wooden man seemed to be different from the one in his hand.

"It's really different, my wooden man hasn't been painted." Zhou Hanshan said, "Is there any problem with this?"

Lin Qiushi didn't speak, and said, "Go, let's go to the activity room."

They ate something casually and went straight to the activity room.

The lock of the activity room was broken, and the door was opened, which saved Lin Qiushi the effort to unlock it.After he walked in, he began to look around for the wooden man.Sure enough, they quickly found the wooden man in a wooden box in the corner.

There are more than 20 wooden figures in the wooden box, each of which is well-made, polished very delicately, and painted with a layer of transparent paint for protection.

"Why is there only this one?" Lin Qiushi asked.

"I don't know..." Zhou Hanshan was also confused. He said, "At that time, Zhu Ruyuan sent each of us wooden figures. I don't know how many styles there are."

Lin Qiushi didn't speak, turned around and went to the utility room.The lock of the utility room was also unlocked, but the statue covered by the white cloth was still standing quietly inside. It seems that other people still dare not move at will before confirming the function of the statue. After all, anything inside the door is dangerous. very big.

However, compared with the last time they came, the statue was significantly larger. Lin Qiushi uncovered the white cloth and found that her appearance was more delicate, her hair was fully visible, and the expression on her face was also very agile, as if she could be seen in the next moment. Flexible movement comes in autumn.

Zhou Hanshan felt scared when he saw this statue, he said: "This statue looks more and more like Zhu Ruyuan..."

Lin Qiushi didn't speak.

Zhou Hanshan continued: "It looks like she was carved out of the same mold." He stroked the statue carefully, and then his face changed drastically, and he stepped back a few steps in embarrassment, "Damn, what!"

"What?" Lin Qiushi looked at him.

"Warm, this statue is warm—" Zhou Hanshan explained in a panic, "This statue has temperature!"

Lin Qiushi was taken aback for a moment, and then put his palm on the statue, but things were even worse than what Zhou Hanshan said.This statue not only has temperature, but even the touch of the skin.

The statue, which should have been hard and cold, became warm and soft. She stood there, as if she was just a person disguised as a statue, and she might move anytime, anywhere.

Gu Longming also came over to touch it, was also startled, and said, "This... this fucking won't turn into a human in the end, right?"

Zhou Hanshan seemed to be unable to bear the stimulation, bent down and began to sob, he said: "I'm so scared, Zhu Ruyuan, why did you treat me like this, I didn't apologize to you, why did you treat me like this..."

Just after Zhou Hanshan finished speaking, two objects were suddenly thrown at the door. These two objects directly hit Lin Qiushi and Gu Longming. They were stunned for a moment before realizing what was thrown at them—— They were two mutilated wooden figures, exactly the same as the ones in the box outside the house.The only difference is that the two wooden men have lost their heads.

"Fuck!" Gu Longming, who was hit by the wooden man, couldn't help swearing. He said, "What should I do! If you touch it, you have to be responsible? Is this a fucking unmarried girl in the old society?!"

Lin Qiushi: "..." Your metaphor is really vivid and vivid.

The unmarried girls in the old society were about to marry and go home after seeing it. Lin Qiushi thought that they would be fine if they didn't touch the wooden man after they came here, but he didn't expect the ghosts here to be so simple and rude, so that he didn't know what to say.

Lin Qiushi picked up the wooden figure that belonged to him, and made sure that the wooden figure was headless.There is no doubt that if the door and key cannot be found quickly, this wooden man will be Lin Qiushi's final fate.

Zhou Hanshan didn't know what to say anymore, he squatted on the ground, as if he had lost all his strength, his expression was dull and pitiful, and he even reached out and hugged the statue next to him.

"Zhu Ruyuan, what exactly do you want? Do you want my life? If you really want it, take it." Zhou Hanshan's tone was dull, fear seemed to have captured his will to survive, and he put his head on the statue , muttering to himself, "I won't run away, I'll come down to accompany you, okay?"

After he finished speaking, Lin Qiushi saw the statue move.The statue slowly lowered its head. Although the movement was very slow, which made people feel that it was just his own illusion, Lin Qiushi was very sure that the statue did indeed move.She lowered her head and looked at her lover with gentle eyes. Red liquid emerged from the eyes made of white plaster, slowly slid down her cheeks, and dripped on the ground.

The statue was crying, but she had no tears, and bright red blood flowed from her eye sockets.

Zhou Hanshan also saw the blood in the eyes of the statue, he was stunned for a few seconds, and said blankly: "Ruyuan, is it yours? Are you crying?"

Naturally, the statue would not answer his question.

"Do you want me to die?" Zhou Hanshan said, "If you want me to die, just nod your head?"

After he finished speaking, a strong wind blew up outside the window, and the curtains blown by the wind rattled, as if humans were crying.

When the wind stopped, the statue stopped crying. She kept a certain posture, but her eyes fell on Gu Longming.

Gu Longming was a little uncomfortable and said, "Is she looking at me?"

Lin Qiushi looked at the statue with his head tilted, but he somehow felt that the eyes of the statue had other meanings. He walked behind the statue, followed the gaze of the statue, and found that the gaze of the statue was indeed on Gu Longming. , but the falling part is a bit strange... She seems to be staring at Gu Longming's pocket.

Lin Qiushi: "Gu Longming, what's in your pocket?"

Gu Longming: "Ah? What is it?" He fumbled in his pocket, and found out the wooden figure that fell on them just now, "That's all, what's wrong?"

"Put the wooden man aside." Lin Qiushi said.

Although Gu Longming was confused, he still carefully placed the wooden figure on the ground beside his feet.

Lin Qiushi paid attention to the gaze of the statue, and found that its gaze was actually moving slowly, from Gu Longming's body to the ground next to it.

Gu Longming also noticed it, he was startled, and said: "What does this mean? What does it mean when it looks at the wooden figure? Did she throw it to us? Is she deliberately provoking us or what—"

Lin Qiushi shook his head and expressed his opinion: "She should be giving us a hint."

"Reminder?" Gu Longming touched his chin, "Remind us to learn about wooden figures?"

Lin Qiushi didn't speak, he didn't understand why the statue stared at the wooden man.

The three stood in the room. Amidst Zhou Hanshan's low sobs, Lin Qiushi had a vague idea in his mind. He said, "Zhou Hanshan."

Zhou Hanshan looked at Lin Qiushi with tears in his eyes.

"You said that you need a wooden man to make a wish, right?" Lin Qiushi asked.

"Yes." Zhou Hanshan said, "What do you mean..."

Lin Qiushi looked at the statue: "Tell me, is she reminding us that we need to make another wish?"

Zhou Hanshan was stunned.

"If our wish is to end all of this." Lin Qiushi said, "Will this wish come true?"

This wish, like Zhou Hanshan's wish, is a paradox that cannot be satisfied.
