Kaleidoscope of Death

Behind the elevator door is the dimly lit tunnel on the first floor, which is no different from usual.However, the faint fishy smell of blood in the air reminded Lin Qiushi that things were not as simple as he thought.

Lin Qiushi stepped forward, wanting to leave here quickly and walk outside the apartment, but when he turned a corner, he saw three identical little girls in skirts standing in front of him.

They gathered around a huge birthday cake, which was filled with dense white candles. The cake seemed to be melting, and the red liquid dripping from it was the source of the fishy smell that Lin Qiushi smelled.The scariest thing was the head of a woman placed on the top of the cake. Her eyes were still open, she looked at Lin Qiushi unwillingly, and even blinked at Lin Qiushi.

This grotesque scene made one's hair stand on end. Seeing them, Lin Qiushi remembered the door where the clue he had passed was the Phil Xia bird.There is no doubt that they are the triplets that Lin Qiushi once saw inside the door...

The triplets stood at the door and turned to look at Lin Qiushi. They had stiff smiles on their faces and began to sing Happy Birthday to you.One of the girls slowly raised her hand, pointed to the top of her head, and said, "Little brother, don't you want to eat cake with us?"

Lin Qiushi listened to her question, but didn't dare to respond, he turned around and left, heading for another exit.

Fortunately, the three triplets just watched him go, and had no intention of chasing him.

Lin Qiushi ran fast, and arrived at the door in a blink of an eye, but when he was about to go out, he remembered the movement of a girl in the triplets. She seemed to be pointing at the top of her head—what does this movement mean? what?

To be honest, in such a situation, looking up at the ceiling is not a pleasant thing, but Lin Qiushi still took out his mobile phone, turned on the flashlight, slowly raised his head, and cast the light in his hand on the ceiling.His movements were very slow, and he was ready to turn around and run at any time, but what made him heave a sigh of relief was that there was nothing above the ceiling——

Seeing this scene, Lin Qiushi put away his cell phone, took a breath and walked out, but just as he was about to step out of the corridor, an indescribable sense of crisis suddenly hit his heart.Lin Qiushi's footsteps paused reflexively. At this moment, a corpse fell directly from the roof and hit Lin Qiushi straight in front of him. It is conceivable that if he hadn't stayed here but If I go out directly, I am afraid that I will be hit by this corpse.

The corpse fell from upstairs and was smashed to pieces. His head was like a watermelon that fell from a high place, and it was broken into pieces. But judging from his appearance and clothes and the things he held in his hand, it was clear that this person was The man with the ax blocking the door of Lin Qiushi's house just didn't know why he fell from upstairs.

Lin Qiushi bypassed his body and walked quickly into the community. He stepped on the gravel road and glanced at the apartment behind him.He actually saw a person lying on his stomach on the outer wall of the apartment. The person slowly climbed down from the height, completely ignoring gravity. With the dim light in the corridor, Lin Qiushi could barely see the outer wall clearly. The person above... She was clearly Wang Xiaoyi whose head had been split in half. Wang Xiaoyi slowly climbed from the wall to the place where Cheng Wen's body fell, and then buried her face on Cheng Wen's body, and began to gnaw on it. Biting and chewing like a beast looking for food.

Lin Qiushi only glanced at it, then looked away. He didn't know whether it was the hot weather or what happened too exciting. He was covered in sweat now, and the water dripped down his chin. Lin Qiushi was walking in the community. Looking at the surrounding scenery, he was a little dazed for a while, he felt that there was no safe place here, and monsters might appear in any place shrouded in darkness.

Lin Qiushi walked towards the gate of the community, and saw two people standing at the gate of the community. Lin Qiushi saw their faces, and even clearly remembered their names—Xiong Qi and Xiao Ke.They are exactly the two humans that Lin Qiushi had seen in the first door.

Xiong Qi and Xiao Ke also seemed to have seen Lin Qiushi, waved at Lin Qiushi from a distance, and said, "Come here, come here!"

Lin Qiushi hesitated a little, he was not sure whether the two people who appeared here were human or ghosts.

"Bai Jie asked us to come pick you up." Xiao Ke shouted from afar, "The place you live is too dangerous, Bai Jie asked us to take you there—"

Lin Qiushi frowned, and he glanced behind him. The figures of Wang Xiaoyi and Cheng Wen had disappeared into the night, but the dark apartment building still gave people a strong sense of foreboding.Lin Qiushi walked in front of them, not getting too close.

"Bai Jie asked you to pick me up?" Lin Qiushi asked Xiao Ke.

"Yes." Xiao Ke said, "She was afraid that something might happen to you, so she specially asked us to come here."

"Where is she now?" Lin Qiushi said.

"Her? She is waiting for us at her home." Xiao Ke replied, "Hurry up and get in the car. We will explain to you slowly in the car." After speaking, she opened the car door in front of her and signaled Lin Qiushi to hurry up. Click to enter.

Lin Qiushi walked to the door of the car and glanced into the car.

Xiao Ke was still urging behind him, seeming very anxious, but Lin Qiushi suddenly noticed something, his footsteps that were about to step into the car suddenly stopped.

"What's the matter with you?" Xiao Ke asked, "That thing is coming, don't waste time."

"Since you were entrusted by Bai Jie to pick me up, you should know his real name, right?" Lin Qiushi stopped his steps, his eyes fixed on the ground, but his steps were slowly retreating.

Xiao Ke frowned: "I know her real name, but I can't say it here, it will be heard by other things, hurry up..." She looked at Lin Qiushi who had stopped, but her voice became more and more irritable, In the end, it was like screaming, "I let you get in the car, time is running out!!"

Seeing this scene, Lin Qiushi turned around and ran away, ignoring the shouts of Xiao Ke and Xiong Qi. Xiao Ke could only watch Lin Qiushi leave with a shrill cry, and just as Lin Qiushi turned back to the community, a A huge figure appeared at the other end of the road.

It was a tall woman with a strange figure, dragging a long-handled ax in her hand, walking towards Xiao Ke and Xiong Qi slowly.

Xiao Ke and Xiong Qi looked terrified and desperate. They got into the car in front of them in a panic, trying to start the car and leave here. Sitting inside, it is naturally impossible to leave.

The woman walked up to the two of them, raised her hand, raised the ax high, and then slammed down heavily, splitting Xiao Ke in half.

Xiong Qi was the second one. The two of them were chopped off at the waist, and they screamed miserably, but they didn't die for a long time, struggling on the ground unceasingly.

Lin Qiushi hid in the corner of the community and watched all this. He covered his mouth with his hand, afraid that his breathing would attract the attention of the tall woman outside.This monster is the monster that Lin Qiushi saw in the first door, the statue turned into a monster in the ancient temple. After killing Xiong Qi and Xiao Ke, she turned her eyes around again. Ax turned and left.

Xiong Qi and Xiao Ke, who had been cut in two, did not die just like that. They groaned on the main road, and Xiao Ke cursed viciously, as if cursing Lin Qiushi.

Lin Qiushi didn't know what happened to Xiong Qi and Xiao Ke in the sect after he left, but judging from the experience he accumulated later, the two people probably weren't good at each other, but the kind of intentionally trying to get close to newcomers. An old man with plans.Fortunately, Lin Qiushi met Ruan Nanzhu, so he escaped the catastrophe.As for what happened to them inside the door in the end, Lin Qiushi didn't know...

The reason why he discovered Xiao Ke's anomaly just now was because under the street lamp, he saw only his own shadow projected on the ground.However, Xiao Ke and Xiong Qi did not cast any shadows under the light, which made Lin Qiushi feel that something was wrong, so he turned around and left decisively, and escaped.

At this moment, Lin Qiushi has already vaguely understood the unsolvable meaning in the clue.There is no solution to this door, vitality is only hidden in the door, maybe a small detail is the way to survive.Of course, whether you can find it depends on your luck.

Lin Qiushi stood in the community, not knowing what to do for a while, but he knew that he should leave, because the singing of happy birthday became louder and closer to him.

So Lin Qiushi stood up and walked out of the community slowly. He looked back and saw the triplets pushing the cake towards him. The head on the cake slowly turned in a circle and moved towards He cast a vicious look.

Lin Qiushi was already used to staring like this, he looked back blankly and gave him a look of contempt by the way.

The triplets giggled happily. They stood at the entrance of the community, watched Lin Qiushi's figure disappear at the end of the dark road, stood on tiptoe, hugged the head on the cake and kissed it, and then happily called out Say mom.

Lin Qiushi was walking on the road, only dim street lights illuminated the road under his feet.

The surrounding shops that were originally full of life were all closed, and this place seemed to be another world, only death and terror followed.

Lin Qiushi stared at his mobile phone for a while. He really wanted to call Ruan Nanzhu again and ask him how he was doing, but he was afraid that Ruan Nanzhu's side was at an important time. To Ruan Nanzhu's life.

After thinking for a while, Lin Qiushi sent a message to Ruan Nanzhu, asking how he was doing.

After a while, Lin Qiushi replied: I am playing hide and seek with strange things.

Although these words are playful, but you can see the hidden murderous intent from them, Lin Qiushi smiled wryly: hide and seek?Which door is this for you?

Ruan Nanzhu: The second fan.

Lin Qiushi: What is the clue?

Ruan Nanzhu: The clue is...hide and seek.

Lin Qiushi; "..." was just a few words, but a layer of cold sweat broke out on his back, and he even became a little anxious. Now he really wants to go to Ruan Nanzhu's side and accompany him through everything, but this kind of It is obviously difficult to realize the idea at this time. Lin Qiushi raised his hand and looked at the time. It is now two o'clock in the morning, and there are at least three or four hours before dawn.

She came here, I won't tell you now, baby, I love you - this is the last text message Ruan Nanzhu sent to Lin Qiushi tonight.

Lin Qiushi looked at the content of the text message and was extremely worried, but he didn't know where Ruan Nanzhu was now, nor what he was going through. He was so powerless at this moment that he couldn't do anything.

Lin Qiushi walked straight along the road, the road seemed to have no end, until Lin Qiushi came to a crossroads.From afar, Lin Qiushi saw a man squatting in the middle of the crossroads, with his back facing him, with his head lowered, he was stuffing something into the burning brazier.

Lin Qiushi looked at this person, but he didn't dare to get too close. He observed from a distance and found that this person was burning ghost coins for the dead.

The incinerated ghost coins swirled and rushed into the dark sky.Because of the need to enter the door, Lin Qiushi has learned a lot of lodging legends, knowing that after the coins are burnt to ashes, they are also somewhat particular. For example, spinning means that the people below have received the money...

Lin Qiushi looked at the picture in front of him hesitantly, and was about to turn around and go back, but heard a kind of creepy footsteps behind him.

Lin Qiushi turned his head, and through the dark night, he saw a tall figure walking towards the end of the road. The figure was against the light. Although it was not very clear, judging from its outline, it was clearly the one who was holding the hand just now. Xiong Qi and Xiao Ke split into two female ghosts.

The surrounding area was empty, and there was no place to hide. Lin Qiushi had no choice but to continue forward, leaning against the wall and trying to pass the intersection in front of him.

As he walked, he carefully observed the old man burning paper in the middle of the intersection. He should have seen this person before, but he didn't quite remember it because it was a long time ago.

Just when Lin Qiushi was about to pass the crossroads, he saw the old man put his hand into the burning ash basin in front of him, and then his body began to carbonize rapidly, but Lin Qiushi caught the slight sound from his mouth , he was saying: "Dead people, dead people... Only dead people can escape." After he finished speaking, his whole body turned straight into a coke, and the monster behind him seemed to smell the unusual breath here , quickened his pace.

The monster was huge and held an ax in its hand. Occasionally, the ax would fall to the ground, making the sound of metal rubbing against stones.

Lin Qiushi didn't dare to stay here anymore, and ran forward. He didn't forget to observe the surrounding environment while running wildly, and found some changes in the surrounding environment.

Some white lanterns and garlands were hung at the entrance of the shop, like a memorial ceremony.

What made Lin Qiushi stop was the black coffins placed beside the road. These coffins appeared suddenly and lay straight beside the road.

The monster behind him seemed to have sensed where Lin Qiushi was, and was coming towards him. If he continued to run at a normal speed, Lin Qiushi would probably be caught within a few minutes.

Lin Qiushi gasped for breath, staring at the black coffin, a crazy idea came to his mind.Knowing that he couldn't hesitate at this time, he turned around and walked directly to the front of the coffin, stretching out his hand and pushing it away forcefully.

Lin Qiushi thought the coffin was empty, but when he pushed it away, he found a corpse inside the coffin. The corpse looked familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere before, but Lin Qiushi didn't care about thinking so much, he gritted his teeth and crawled in. , and closed the coffin lid.

"Da... da... da..." Across the coffin, Lin Qiushi heard the monster's footsteps getting closer and closer, and finally seemed to stop around him. Her nose twitched, trying to find herself in the air. whereabouts of the prey.

However, there seemed to be some smell that disturbed her search. The monster let out a strange cry, and then the sound gradually faded away.

Lin Qiushi was lying in the coffin with a numb expression. The corpse lying next to him seemed to have just died. The skin was still soft and even seemed to have a little warmth.Lin Qiushi said in his heart, don't blame, don't blame. After the sound outside disappeared, he was about to raise his hand to lift the lid of the coffin, but he felt that his wrist was suddenly directly grabbed by another hand.

"!!" Lin Qiushi almost screamed when he was caught, but the other hand actually covered his mouth, making him hold his voice in his throat.

"I haven't left yet." The corpse next to him actually spoke. Although the voice was very small, Lin Qiushi's eyes widened after hearing the voice—he was very familiar with this voice, and it actually belonged to Li Dongyuan's voice !

The coffin was too dark, Lin Qiushi couldn't see anything, he was tightly grasped by the corpse with the same voice as Li Dongyuan, his heart was beating violently, as if it was about to jump out of his own throat.

"I haven't left yet." The person next to him said again, Lin Qiushi vaguely understood what he meant, and stopped struggling.

After the silence lasted for about ten minutes, Lin Qiushi heard a woman's extremely angry roar. The roar was only separated by a thin layer of coffin boards. It is conceivable that this thing is very close to Lin Qiushi, even right next to him. Beside him, if Lin Qiushi had climbed out of the coffin just now, he would have been hacked to death just like Xiong Qi and Xiao Ke.

Then the woman's voice gradually became farther away, and she let go of Lin Qiushi's corpse. Lin Qiushi pushed open the coffin lid on his head, and this time he finally saw the face of the person lying next to him clearly—it was Li Dongyuan, who was supposed to be dead.

"Long time no see." Li Dongyuan bent his eyes and smiled at Lin Qiushi.

Lin Qiushi's eyes stared at him, as if he wanted to cast a flower on his face.

"What are you looking at me like that for?" Li Dongyuan also got up from the coffin and straightened his hair, "I saved you just now, don't you thank me?"

Lin Qiushi: "Are you..."

"Dead." Although Lin Qiushi didn't finish his sentence, Li Dongyuan had already guessed what he wanted to say, and laughed loudly, "I am a dead person."

Lin Qiushi looked at him hesitantly, but Li Dongyuan grabbed Lin Qiushi's hand and pressed his hand on his chest. Sure enough, there was a peaceful place, and he couldn't feel any heartbeat.

"Are you really dead?" Lin Qiushi wiped his face with his hand and said, "Then why did you appear here? Where is this place?"

Li Dongyuan listened to Lin Qiushi's question, but smiled without saying a word. He pointed to the top of his head and said, "It's still a long time before dawn, do you want to sleep a little longer?"

Lin Qiushi: "Where do you sleep? In a coffin?"

Li Dongyuan said: "The coffin is also safer than you running around here."

Lin Qiushi wanted to say something more, but he heard footsteps again, this time without Li Dongyuan's hands, he closed the coffin lid by himself.

In the dark, the two looked at each other. Lin Qiushi had too many questions to ask. He wanted to ask Li Dongyuan what was going on, but Li Dongyuan didn't seem to want to answer these questions.

"I know what you want to ask." Li Dongyuan said, "But I can't answer, because I don't understand myself."

"Do you have any memory of your own death?" Lin Qiushi asked.

"Of course there are." Li Dongyuan said, "I still remember that I committed suicide by jumping off the building." His tone was a little more lonely, "I just don't know what happened to the girl."

"Zhuang Rujiao?" Lin Qiushi said, "She is very good, and has inherited your White Deer."

Li Dongyuan was silent for a moment, and said with a wry smile: "This is not a good thing." Watching the little girl he protected grow up is actually not a particularly happy thing, because growth always has to pay a very painful price.

So the two became quiet again, Lin Qiushi looked at the coffin lid above his head in a daze.He didn't dare to say too much, because the thing kept turning around him.

Time passed by every minute and every second, and it was five o'clock in sight, and it seemed that the sky was about to dawn.

Sleepiness swept over Lin Qiushi. He wanted to persevere, but he felt that he had never been so sleepy.

"Go to sleep." Li Dongyuan's voice came, "See you tomorrow night."

Lin Qiushi closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.

This sleep was extremely heavy, and when he woke up again, it was already dawn, and when he got up, he saw himself lying on his own bed, Li Zi lying beside the pillow, looking at him obediently.

There were no monsters, no blood, and the door was fine. Everything that happened last night seemed to be just a grotesque nightmare. Lin Qiushi let out a long breath, picked up his mobile phone and dialed a certain number again.

After waiting for a few seconds, an unsurprising voice came from the other end of the phone. The call that was clearly able to get through last night became an empty number again.Lin Qiushi rummaged through the text box, but he didn't see the message Ruan Nanzhu sent him.

"Okay." Lin Qiushi said to himself, "See you tonight."

The author has something to say: Li Dongyuan: Aha, long time no see!

Lin Qiushi: It's completely... just surprised but not happy.
