Kaleidoscope of Death

The familiar big bed, the familiar decoration, everything in front of him is exactly the same as the rental house in Lin Qiushi's memory.Lin Qiushi took a deep breath, forced himself to calm down, and tentatively walked towards the living room.

"Meow..." A faint meow suddenly sounded in the living room, Lin Qiushi raised his eyes, and in the corner of the sofa, he saw a particularly well-behaved chestnut squatting on it.Lizi tilted his head, his emerald eyes stared at Lin Qiushi quietly, and he meowed, as if he was urging Lin Qiushi to do something.

Lin Qiushi is very familiar with the sound of Lizi. He looked at the cat bowl where Lizi eats. As expected, the cat food in the Lizi cat bowl has been eaten. It is urging Lin Qiushi to add food to it. .

If this were real, the first thing Lin Qiushi would do would be to pour cat food for Lizi, but he knew clearly that he had entered the door, so he didn't act directly, but walked around the room first.

The furnishings in the house are exactly the same as when he moved here. There are even a few freshly washed clothes drying on the balcony, and fresh fruits bought in the refrigerator. Everything in the house is full of life.

Lin Qiushi walked around the room, walked slowly to the door, held the door handle, and gently turned it open.

A gap exposed by the door is enough for Lin Qiushi to see the scene behind the door.

What caught Lin Qiushi's eyes was a long corridor with residents with house numbers on both sides, which was no different from what Lin Qiushi remembered.

Lizi started meowing again. It jumped off the sofa, walked to Lin Qiushi's feet, and began to rub against Lin Qiushi's ankle with its body. Lin Qiushi lowered his head and looked at Lizi for a long time before slowly bending over and stretching out his hand. Touched the cat in front of him.

Soft hair, warm skin, I have to say that Lin Qiushi heaved a sigh of relief the moment he hugged the chestnut. He held the chestnut in his arms, scratched its chin with his hand, and called out to the chestnut. name.

Chestnut purred, with an expression of enjoyment. Lin Qiushi held it and turned to the kitchen to get cat food and fill up the cat bowl.

Li Zi jumped out of Lin Qiushi's arms, stood in front of the cat bowl and began to eat seriously.

Lin Qiushi watched it eat, but remembered something. He took out his mobile phone from his pocket and dialed a number. However, after the call was dialed, it showed that Lin Qiushi dialed an empty number.Listening to the voice on the phone, Lin Qiushi's hands overflowed with sweat. After he checked his address book, many bad thoughts came to his mind.Lin Qiushi almost has the impression of the names in the address book, but there are a few key people missing... The names of all Obsidian members are missing, including Ruan Nanzhu.

But when Lin Qiushi called Ruan Nanzhu just now, it showed that the phone didn't exist at all.

A sense of suffocation churned in Lin Qiushi's chest. He had many bad guesses. In the end, Lin Qiushi changed out of his pajamas, left the room, took the elevator all the way down, and arrived at the gate of the community.

It was midsummer at this time, it was just six o'clock in the evening, people just got off work, and there were busy scenes of people coming and going everywhere.

Lin Qiushi stood at the entrance of the community, took a taxi, and went straight to a certain place in the suburbs.

The taxi driver is a very talkative middle-aged man, he keeps talking about things, if it is normal Lin Qiushi would answer a few words, but today his mind is so confused, so he didn't say anything from the beginning to the end , lips pursed into a tight arc.

An hour later, the taxi arrived at the place Lin Qiushi said.

Lin Qiushi paid, walked out of the taxi, and saw the villa standing in his field of vision.The villa was still as he remembered it, with orange light shooting out of the windows, it could be seen that there were people moving inside.But this didn't make Lin Qiushi feel relieved. In fact, the ominous feeling in his heart became more and more intense.

Lin Qiushi stepped forward a few steps, walked to the door of the villa, and rang the door of the villa.

"Which one?" A moment later, a strange man's voice came from the gate.

"I..." Lin Qiushi said, "It's me, Lin Qiushi, I want to find Ruan Nanzhu."

The other end was quiet for a moment, and said: "You have found the wrong person, there is no one named Ruan Nanzhu here."

The moment he heard these words, Lin Qiushi's brain exploded with a buzzing sound. He forced himself to calm down with the last of his self-control, and said, "Sorry, can you open the door? I have something very important..."

The door was opened, and a tall and strange man appeared in front of Lin Qiushi. He looked at Lin Qiushi and said, "What do you want?"

Lin Qiushi said: "I...my friend used to live here..." He thought about his words, "Their name is Ruan Nanzhu, and Chen Fei, Yi Manman..."

"Sorry." The man said, "You are in the wrong place. There is no one you mentioned here."

Lin Qiushi saw the scene in the villa through the gap behind the man. What shocked him was that all the furnishings in the villa were exactly the same as he remembered, and Lin Qiushi even remembered the color of the carpet on the ground clearly.

But even though the scenery was the same, the person Lin Qiushi was looking for disappeared.

"Are you okay?" Probably because Lin Qiushi's face was too ugly, the man looked at him and asked.

Lin Qiushi forced a smile and said, "I'm fine... sorry to bother you." He turned around and left here.

The man watched him walk away, frowning slightly, apparently wondering what Lin Qiushi was here for.

After Lin Qiushi left the villa, he took a taxi back to the city. He sat in the taxi with a dazed expression, unable to accept what happened in front of him for a while.

Ruan Nanzhu, who entered the door with Lin Qiushi, disappeared.

No matter how normal the world seemed, this incident alone was enough to send Lin Qiushi into an unspeakable panic.

Back in the community, standing at the door and watching the people coming and going, Lin Qiushi felt as if he had been abandoned by the world. The environment that should be full of the atmosphere of the market made him feel completely out of place with his surroundings.

Lin Qiushi put his hand into his pocket, and found a pack of cigarettes in his pocket. He stared at the cigarettes in his hand, took out one, lit it, and put it in his mouth.

The smell of tobacco spread in the mouth, which was different from the sweetness of candy, but a little choking. Lin Qiushi only took a puff, then stopped, irritatedly extinguished the cigarette, and threw it into the trash can beside him.

At this moment, Lin Qiushi's mobile phone rang suddenly. He took out the mobile phone and looked at it. After seeing the phone number displayed on it clearly, he fell silent.

There was a name on the phone number, a name that shouldn't have appeared—Wu Qi.

Lin Qiushi stared at the name on the phone screen, and slowly pressed the call button.

"Hey, Qiushi, where are you?" Wu Qi's carefree voice came over.

Lin Qiushi swallowed: "I'm at home, you..." He didn't know what to say for a while.

"Why are you still at home? Didn't you invite me to dinner? Come down quickly." Wu Qi asked strangely.

Lin Qiushi said: "I asked you out for dinner?"

Wu Qi said: "Yeah, didn't you say to have barbecue tonight! Hey, you won't forget, right?"

Lin Qiushi: "...where are you now?"

"I'm at the gate of your community." Wu Qi said, "What's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"

Lin Qiushi said: "I'm fine, I'll be here right away." He hung up the phone and looked outside the community, and sure enough, he saw Wu Qi standing at the gate of the community with his head bowed and playing with his mobile phone.

Lin Qiushi put the phone in his pocket and walked quickly towards Wu Qi.

"So fast?" After meeting Lin Qiushi, Wu Qi said, "You don't have to run here, it's so hot, you're sweating profusely."

Lin Qiushi hummed, but his eyes fell on Wu Qi's face.With the same looks, the same temperament, and even the same tone of voice, the person in front of him is indeed Wu Qi.He walked in front, told Lin Qiushi what happened in the company, and repeatedly told Lin Qiushi to remember to go for a physical examination.

A dense layer of sweat appeared on Lin Qiushi's forehead again, but he was cold all over, even the sweat was cold sweat.

Walking to the barbecue place outside the community, Wu Qi sat down and ordered food.

Lin Qiushi didn't say much all the way, Wu Qi saw his strangeness and asked doubtfully, "Qiu Shi, are you okay?"

Lin Qiushi said: "I'm... fine."

"Is it too hot? Or are you not feeling well?" Wu Qi turned to look at the boss, ordered a few more bottles of cold beer, opened it deftly, and poured a full glass for Lin Qiushi, "Drink this to cool down."

Lin Qiushi said: "Wu Qi, what's the date today?"

Wu Qi said: "NO.17, what?"

Lin Qiushi let out a breath: "Nothing."

The food ordered was served quickly, and Wu Qi also saw that Lin Qiushi was not in the right state. He asked questions suspiciously, but seeing that Lin Qiushi was unwilling to answer, he had no choice but to give up.

Lin Qiushi was not in the mood to eat, all his attention was on the road next to him, but until they finished eating and left, nothing that should have happened happened.

Back then, when Lin Qiushi entered the door for the first time, he came out of the door and came to this barbecue restaurant with Wu Qi.The same date, the same time, but the car accident that should have occurred on the road did not happen.Everything was so peaceful, as if Lin Qiushi's memory had an illusion, he became a strange fantasist, fabricating things that didn't exist at all.

"Wu Qi." On the way back, Lin Qiushi suddenly asked, "How is your girlfriend?"

"Her? Why did you mention her suddenly?" Wu Qi was a little confused, but he answered Lin Qiushi's question honestly. He said, "She's fine, what's the matter?"

Lin Qiushi said: "...it's okay."

Wu Qi: "Hey, you are very strange tonight, what's the matter?" He frowned and looked at Lin Qiushi, his eyes were full of worry, "Is it really not feeling well? You must tell me what happened. ah."

Lin Qiushi nodded and said yes.

Wu Qi sent Lin Qiushi downstairs, and left after Lin Qiushi went upstairs. Lin Qiushi returned to the door of his house, took out the key to open the door, but looked a little dazed.

All this is ridiculous, Wu Qi is still there, his girlfriend is fine, but why is Ruan Nanzhu gone?Lin Qiushi changed his shoes and entered the room, and saw a backpack on the sofa. He thought of something, walked quickly to the backpack, and took out the contents of the backpack.

After seeing the contents inside, Lin Qiushi breathed a sigh of relief, only to see that besides those regular supplies, there were three very special items in his backpack.One is a simple notebook, the other is the skeleton of a baby, and the third is a silver gun. Only after seeing these three things did Lin Qiushi have a real feeling—he was indeed passing through the door, and the place he was in The environment is inside the door, but inside the door, it is almost the same as the environment in which he lives.

This is simply too scary, Lin Qiushi thought, but since this is inside the door, why did the people from Ruan Nanzhu and Obsidian disappear, where did they go...why is he the only one in this door?And since this is the case, does it mean that the rules of the door are invalid?

The only remaining person will not be in an invincible state. Once he makes a mistake, he will face the end of death.

Lizi walked slowly to Lin Qiushi's side and jumped into his arms.Lin Qiushi stroked Lizi's soft hair with his hands, seeing Lizi's well-behaved appearance, he was a little dazed.

Ding dong, ding dong, the hour hand pointed to ten o'clock, and the clock hanging on the wall made a crisp sound.It was already dark outside, with only a few lights left, and it seemed that there was still some vitality.

Lin Qiushi picked up the remote control, turned on the TV, and prepared to select a channel.While changing channels, he saw a familiar face on TV... Tan Zaozao.

Tan Zaozao in the advertisement is wearing a long red dress, elegant and beautiful, like a beautiful flower in full bloom, just like Lin Qiushi's appearance when he first saw her.

Wu Qi is alive, Tan Zaozao is also alive, and all the dead people around him are back. Lin Qiushi doesn't know what this means.

Everything that seems ordinary is full of strange sense of disobedience, as if the deep sea before the storm hits, and the small ripples seem to indicate some terrible truth.

There was a monotonous sound on the TV, and the light was projected on Lin Qiushi's face. Lin Qiushi hadn't spent such a night alone for a long time.

Ever since he and Ruan Nanzhu confirmed their relationship, they almost always slept together, and when they opened their eyes at night, they could see each other's face.

However, at this time, silence returned again.

Accompanying Lin Qiushi is only a cat named Lizi.

As the night gradually deepened, the lights outside the house were extinguished one by one. Lin Qiushi sat on the sofa and fell asleep unconsciously.

Ding dong, ding dong, the hour and minute hands coincide, and it's twelve o'clock.

The TV that was originally playing the program suddenly began to flash white snowflakes. Lin Qiushi was awakened from his dream by the hissing sound inside. He opened his eyes and found that the TV in front of him had actually changed a channel.It's just that this channel doesn't have a channel logo, as if it's playing some costume drama, and the screen stays on a very old staircase.

This scene made people feel a little familiar, Lin Qiushi vaguely felt as if he had seen it somewhere, but he couldn't remember it for a while, until the picture turned, a man with an ax appeared in front of Lin Qiushi.

With a ferocious smile on his face, he went up the stairs all the way, and finally stopped outside a certain room. He stretched out his hand and slammed the wooden door in front of him: "Wang Xiaoyi, open the door, Wang Xiaoyi, Open the door—”

"Help, help—" A woman's terrified cry for help came from inside the house.

Hearing this voice, the man's expression became more ferocious. He laughed loudly, and the ax in his hand swung up, hitting the wooden door in front of him heavily. There was a huge gap, and at the other end of the gap, a woman's face full of tears was exposed, and she said: "Help, help—"

The man was about to swing the ax again, but the ax got stuck in the crack of the door. Seeing this, Wang Xiaoyi quickly opened the door and rushed out of the room. The man's attention was all on the axe. Yi ran away.

Wang Xiaoyi staggered and ran in the corridor, calling for help desperately while running. When the atmosphere was extremely tense, a certain door suddenly opened, and Wang Xiaoyi was rescued in, and what appeared behind the door... was actually Lin Qiushi The face standing next to Lin Qiushi was clearly Ruan Nanzhu who met him for the first time.

That's right, what appeared on the TV was everything that happened in the first door.

At that time, a man in their team went crazy, and it was Lin Qiushi who saved the hunted girl.

However, when the screen on the TV changed, the girl who was originally rescued by Lin Qiushi was split in half by a shovel the next moment.The red, white and white liquid spilled onto the snow, her eyes were wide open, and the resentment in her eyes made people feel chills through the screen.

Lin Qiushi tried to change the channel, but the remote control lost its function. He even unplugged the TV, but all the pictures continued.

The picture on the screen was frozen at the moment when Wang Xiaoyi died. Suddenly there was a knock on the door. Lin Qiushi sat on the sofa without moving. It seems to be smashed.

The sound was very loud. It stands to reason that even if Lin Qiushi didn't open the door, other people would definitely be disturbed, but the knock on the door lasted for several minutes, and no one responded.Lin Qiushi looked out the window and saw that all the lights in the community were extinguished, as if when twelve o'clock came, this place became another world.

The person who knocked on the door became more and more impatient. Lin Qiushi slowly got up and walked to the door. Through the peephole of the door, he saw the people outside...it was a man with an axe, the same as what Lin Qiushi saw on TV just now. exactly the same.

He seemed to know that Lin Qiushi on the other side of the door was looking at him, so he began to knock on the door even harder. Through the cat's eyes, Lin Qiushi could even see the blood dripping from his axe.

Lin Qiushi took a step back, took a deep breath, turned around and entered the kitchen, picked up the knife hanging on the wall to defend himself, but when he returned to the living room again, he found that the floor had been soaked with a layer of dark red blood.Lin Qiushi looked around and saw blood gushing from the inside out of the wide open TV, and Wang Xiaoyi, who was already dead in the picture, started to twitch and was split in half He raised his head from the ground, looked straight at Lin Qiushi outside the TV with his pale eyes, opened his mouth in a strange arc, and stretched out his hand towards Lin Qiushi.

Seeing this scene, Lin Qiushi couldn't help swearing, but the bad situation didn't stop there, because Wang Xiaoyi's blood-stained hands actually broke through the screen of the TV and poked out from inside.

At the same time, the man who smashed the door with an ax actually started to hack the anti-theft door of Lin Qiushi's house. The anti-theft door that should have been very strong was forcibly opened by him, and his eyes looked through the gap. Looking into the house, when he caught Lin Qiushi standing in the living room, he let out a weird and creepy laugh.

To be honest, if it were an ordinary person, they would have been frightened crazy when they saw such a scene, and they would have jumped off the stairs in fear if they didn't have to do it.

But after all, Lin Qiushi has seen too many horrific scenes, so he is still very calm at this time. He is standing far away from the TV, staring at the door that is about to be smashed, and a thought pops up in his mind, Don't know if this idea is useful.

The killed Wang Xiaoyi was about to climb out of the TV, and the man outside the door chopped down another axe, but when he was doing it, the axe in his hand seemed to be stuck on the door, Lin Qiushi saw this Jing, directly opened the door in front of him, rushed out of the door, turned around and ran towards the elevator.

Because the ax was stuck, the man froze for a moment. Lin Qiushi rushed into the elevator and pressed the button on the first floor. The moment the elevator closed, the man appeared at the door of the elevator——Lin Qiushi even walked through the gap. , saw his distorted face.

"Fuck." With a knife in his hand, Lin Qiushi wiped his face with his hands. He squeezed his mobile phone and dialed Ruan Nanzhu's phone number again. Nan Zhu's urgent voice came from the other end of the phone, he said: "Qiu Shi, is it Qiu Shi?"

"Nan Zhu—Nan Zhu—" Lin Qiushi was covered in sweat, and he asked hurriedly, "Where are you? Where are you?"

"I'm inside the door." Ruan Nanzhu's voice was a little vague, and he said, "Qiu Shi, how are you doing over there? Is there anything wrong?!" Although he did not explain his situation, Lin Qiushi vaguely Hearing the woman's mournful cry from the other end of the phone, he knew that Ruan Nanzhu's current situation might not be very good, so he hurriedly said, "I'm fine, don't worry about me, I'll hang up first, you have to take care of yourself Yes!" He was worried that Ruan Nanzhu would be distracted on the phone with him, so he hung up the phone directly.

Ding dong, the elevator reached the first floor, Lin Qiushi held his breath, watching the elevator door slowly open in front of him.
