Kaleidoscope of Death

That night, Lin Qiushi's spirit was in a state of extreme tension.His rationality told him that those pictures were all fake, but Ruan Nanzhu's scorched face kept appearing in front of him.The most frightening thing is that Lin Qiushi began to have doubts about Ruan Nanzhu who texted him.

Does the person on the other end of the phone really exist?If something happened to Ruan Nanzhu, would he choose to hide it and continue sending text messages to himself, pretending to be alive and well?There is a great possibility of this kind of suspicion, after all, Ruan Nanzhu once had such a precedent.Lin Qiushi held his mobile phone in the dark night, as if he was holding a bomb that could blow him to pieces at any time.

The idea that was originally buried deep in his mind, but because of the horrible scene just now, Lin Qiushi remembered the agreement between him and Ruan Nanzhu - if something happened to one party, he would not demand that the other party survive.

At this moment, Lin Qiushi's cell phone vibrated suddenly, he quickly picked it up, and saw a new text message appearing on the screen, it was from Ruan Nanzhu who he was thinking of.

Ruan Nanzhu said: I'm fine, Qiushi, how are you doing?

Lin Qiushi lowered his eyes, typed two words, deleted them, and finally replied: I'm fine, you don't have to worry.

After a while, Ruan Nanzhu texted back: What's wrong with you?Did something happen to you?

Lin Qiushi sighed, the two of them had a tacit understanding so far, even if he didn't say anything, Ruan Nanzhu had already guessed something, although his answer was vague, but with Ruan Nanzhu's IQ, how could he not understand.Just when Lin Qiushi sighed, Ruan Nanzhu sent another text message, and the content of the text message turned out to be: Qiu Shi, I saw you inside the door.

Lin Qiushi: "..." He looked at the text on the screen and didn't know what to say for a while.

Are you the real Qiushi?do you really exist?It was another message from Ruan Nanzhu, but the above question hit Lin Qiushi's soul directly: I am also thinking about this question now.

Lin Qiushi replied: "Then do you have the answer?"

"No." Ruan Nanzhu said, "There is no answer."

Lin Qiushi asked again: "Are you afraid?"

Ruan Nanzhu waited for a while before returning to Lin Qiushi. He said, "I'm not afraid of anything, I'm just afraid that I won't be able to die with you."

Lin Qiushi laughed when he saw the content of the text message. At the same time, great courage suddenly emerged in his heart. He typed slowly and said, "Ruan Nanzhu, I'll come to see you, okay?"

Faced with Lin Qiushi's question, if Ruan Nanzhu hesitated a little, Lin Qiushi would not continue, because the difficulty of being together would add up instead. If Ruan Nanzhu didn't want to, he couldn't go over and cause him life-threatening trouble.

But Ruan Nanzhu returned quickly, and there was only one word on it: Good.

Seeing Ruan Nanzhu's answer, Lin Qiushi showed a bright smile on his exhausted face. He laughed out loud, with tears dripping from the corners of his eyes. Then he stuffed his phone into his pocket and pointed it at himself. The building behind him gave his middle finger and cursed rudely: "Don't f*cking scare me, I'm going to find him now! Stupid thing!"

The most frightening thing about human life is that there is no hope. Lin Qiushi has thoughts, so this endless night seems to have warmth, and no longer makes people feel the bone-chilling cold.

In the second half of the night, Lin Qiushi was attacked by several waves of ghosts again, but all of them were safe and he survived successfully.

When the warm morning sun burst out from the ground, Lin Qiushi was already lying on the bed at home, and fell into a deep sleep, as if everything that happened last night was just a terrible dream.

The next day, Lin Qiushi slept well all day and ate another big meal. Then he went to the school he went to yesterday in good spirits, sat in the cafeteria and started playing Sudoku with his mobile phone again.

While playing, he was thinking, is there anything special about the door Ruan Nanzhu passed through? Couldn't he also see Ruan Nanzhu's former friends?Thinking about it, Lin Qiushi couldn't help laughing, he couldn't control his expression, because whenever he thought of Ruan Nanzhu, the corners of his mouth would curl up.

The day time passed extremely quickly, the sun slowly sank into the horizon, and night also followed.

After nightfall, worried that he would be kicked out by school security, Lin Qiushi found a hidden corner in the school and hid. Watching the noisy school gradually quiet down, he could only hear the sound of insects one after another.

The moon hung over the treetops, the sky was full of stars, and it was a clear night.

Lin Qiushi sat on a stool by the school pond and fed mosquitoes.There are so many mosquitoes here, Lin Qiushi was bitten by a series of red bumps on his arms, which were painful and itchy.

But this is a trivial matter, compared to the excitement of meeting Ruan Nanzhu, it is nothing to worry about.Everyone said that a little farewell is better than a newlywed, and Lin Qiushi really felt this feeling at this time.

Time passed by every minute and every second, and with the ticking of the watch on the wrist, it was twelve o'clock.

Almost instantly, the quiet but peaceful atmosphere in the school changed instantly, and an unpleasant smell began to fill the air. Although Lin Qiushi did not have the keen sense of smell like Cheng Yixie, he recognized The source of this smell - this is the smell of rotting corpses.Even if it is very faint, it still makes people feel bad in the bottom of their hearts.

Lin Qiushi walked towards the place he and Ruan Nanzhu had agreed upon. They had made an appointment to meet on the playground. The playground was relatively open, so even if they encountered something, they could easily avoid it.

But when Lin Qiushi arrived at the playground, he found that the playground was empty, and Ruan Nanzhu's figure did not appear.

Lin Qiushi's heart tightened suddenly, and he was wondering if something happened to Ruan Nanzhu, when there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps behind him.Before Lin Qiushi could react, someone grabbed his hand, and a young man's voice sounded like an oriole: "Lin Qiushi, come with me!"

Lin Qiushi was pulled forward by him. He turned his head and glanced behind him, and saw several highly corrupt corpses appearing on the road, walking towards them with a limp.

"This way!" The boy took Lin Qiushi's hand and ran fast. Because the night was too dark, Lin Qiushi couldn't see the boy's appearance clearly for a while, until he passed a few street lights, and he finally saw clearly in the interlaced lights and shadows. The boy's beautiful androgynous face.

"Nanzhu!" Lin Qiushi was surprised, "You look like this at night?!" Thinking of Ruan Nanzhu's arrogant and indifferent appearance as an adult, he couldn't help but smile, "You were so cute when you were young ?”

Hearing the words, the young man turned his head and glared at Lin Qiushi, but that beautiful appearance had no deterrent effect at all. Ruan Nanzhu said, "You say I'm cute?"

Lin Qiushi: "It's quite cute."

Ruan Nanzhu: "Please change the word, thank you."

Lin Qiushi laughed. Although they are running for their lives now, it has to be said that Lin Qiushi has never been so happy in the process of running for their lives.

Ruan Nanzhu brought Lin Qiushi to the side of the gymnasium, and the two stood there to rest for a while, Lin Qiushi said: "What happened to those corpses?"

Ruan Nanzhu's tone was a bit indifferent: "Who knows, I've forgotten about this kind of little thing, so many doors, do I have to remember every passerby carefully?"

Lin Qiushi looked at Ruan Nanzhu. If an adult Ruan Nanzhu said this, he would think that Ruan Nanzhu was exceptionally handsome, but looking at the delicate face in front of him, Lin Qiushi couldn't help laughing and said, "Okay, okay , what we Nanzhu said are all right."

Ruan Nanzhu frowned and looked at Lin Qiushi: "Lin Qiushi, you want to rebel?"

Lin Qiushi: "I don't want to either."

Ruan Nanzhu said: "My body just got smaller——"

"I know, I know." Lin Qiushi said quickly, "I know that your body has become smaller, but your soul has grown."

Ruan Nanzhu gritted his teeth, how could he fail to hear Lin Qiushi's tone of coaxing children.

While the two were talking, there was a strange singing sound from the jungle not far away, like a child reciting a nursery rhyme.

"Damn it." Ruan Nanzhu cursed, "Why is this door—"

Lin Qiushi said: "Which one is this?"

Ruan Nanzhu: "My eighth fan is a life-threatening brat." After he finished speaking, Lin Qiushi heard a child's silver bell-like laughter, and then there was a strong wind in front of him, and the street lamps on the roadside went out one by one. shrouded in darkness.

Ruan Nanzhu said in a low voice: "This thing listens to the sound, you follow me, don't make any noise."

Lin Qiushi knew that Ruan Nanzhu's eyesight was excellent, and he could recognize the road even in the absence of light, so he held Ruan Nanzhu's hand with his backhand, and Ruan Nanzhu led him forward.

Ruan Nanzhu has small hands, Lin Qiushi can wrap his whole hand with a little force.

Ruan Nanzhu and Lin Qiushi walked beside them with a slight rustling sound, trying not to make any noise.

Lin Qiushi heard the sound of breathing staying beside them. The sound of breathing was so close to them that even Lin Qiushi felt the breath blowing over his hand hanging on one side.

But Ruan Nanzhu, who was walking forward, stopped suddenly. He seemed to see something, and his hand holding Lin Qiushi tightened slightly.

Lin Qiushi didn't dare to move casually. In fact, he could clearly feel that a pair of cold hands were on his shoulders. Those hands seemed to be children's, very small, and the temperature was like a piece of ice. Even through the clothes, That cold feeling was still continuously transmitted to Lin Qiushi.

And Ruan Nanzhu seems to have encountered some predicament, Lin Qiushi felt a trace of sweat in his palm, he couldn't see anything, but he could clearly feel the dignified atmosphere.

However, just when everything seemed to be frozen, a huge sound of broken glass came from the teaching building not far away from them, followed by the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground, and the hands that were holding Lin Qiushi's shoulders disappeared instantly. Ruan Nanzhu Holding Lin Qiushi's hand, he turned and ran.

The street lights around them that had been extinguished turned on again, and Lin Qiushi also saw the scene around them.

In the darkness of just a few minutes, the woods around them were covered with dense spider webs. In these spider webs, pairs of red eyes stared at them maliciously. At first, Lin Qiushi thought it was a human head-sized Spiders, but after looking carefully, I found that it was clearly a huge spider with human heads hanging on it. These human heads were not dead, and even their eyes were still moving. The eyes followed them away, and the eyes were venomous and refused to move. open.

Ruan Nanzhu's head and body were covered with cobwebs, and he was relieved when he got to a safe place, and began to pull down the white webs on his body.

Lin Qiushi stood behind Ruan Nanzhu, but he didn't touch much. He also started to help Ruan Nanzhu tear off the nets, saying: "What jumped off the building just now?" , I am afraid that both of them have confessed now.

Ruan Nanzhu said, "My friend."

"You have many friends." Lin Qiushi said, "It's inside the door."

"Forget it." Ruan Nanzhu sighed, "Just know that they have a good life in the door."

What did Lin Qiushi think of: "You also saw your senior? Since he disappeared in No.12 door... that should provide some clues?" Whether it is No.11 door or No.12 door Door, as someone who has experienced it, the clues he can provide should be very important.

Ruan Nanzhu smiled wryly: "How can there be such a good thing."

Lin Qiushi: "Huh?"

"I asked all the questions you can think of, but he said he didn't know." Ruan Nanzhu said, "He has no memory of No. 11 or No. 12 doors."

Lin Qiushi: "..." He didn't expect such an answer.

"I didn't feel it when I was outside the door, but now that I think about it, it's a bit strange." Ruan Nanzhu said, "When the senior passed through the No.11 door, I was still a newcomer and didn't ask too much, but the others The details of the No.11 door will definitely be asked and recorded... but these are not available."

Lin Qiushi frowned: "We don't seem to realize this either?"

Ruan Nanzhu nodded: "It's like..."

Lin Qiushi said: "It seems that the memory about this aspect has been deliberately downplayed?"

It should have been a very important thing, but this importance was forcibly erased from their minds. No one felt that something was wrong. It wasn't until they entered the No.11 door that something wrong became abrupt.

"Yeah, thinking about it now, how could there be no records." Ruan Nanzhu said, "Senior still has so many friends, do you hope they can't pass? There is also No.12 door..."

Lin Qiushi said: "What happened to No.12 door?"

Ruan Nanzhu said something that Lin Qiushi didn't expect, he said: "After passing the No. 11 door, the senior disappeared."

"Missing?!" Lin Qiushi was stunned, "But didn't you say that he is still in Obsidian?"

"Yes, he is still in Obsidian." Ruan Nanzhu said, "but everyone began to downplay his existence, and so did I. He seemed to have become an invisible man in the villa..." He considered himself The wording wanted to describe the weird feeling, "It's as if we all know he is there, but we can't see him."

After a moment of silence, Lin Qiushi said hoarsely, "...Nan Zhu."

Ruan Nanzhu looked up at Lin Qiushi.

Lin Qiushi's throat moved, and he said, "I... remember you didn't mention your senior's name."

Ruan Nanzhu was stunned.

Lin Qiushi said: "Do you still remember his name?" He had seen the objects of the senior at Ruan Nanzhu's place, but now he recalled carefully, but found that the appearance of those objects was almost forgotten. He felt that Ruan Nanzhu was not Not the kind of person who would forget the dead, unless, what does this forgetting mean...

Ruan Nanzhu's expression was blank for a moment, and he opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say the name from his mouth.But in the end he failed. The name he should have firmly remembered could not be recalled from his memory. He only knew that he had such a senior, but he couldn't remember his name.

"Is he really dead? Or..." Lin Qiushi felt goosebumps on his arms, he said, "Or has he passed the No.12 door?!"

Ruan Nanzhu: "..." He closed his eyes, unable to answer Lin Qiushi's question.

There was another strong wind blowing around, rustling the surrounding leaves. Lin Qiushi heard the singing and knew that they were about to start running for their lives again.

This time Lin Qiushi took the initiative to hold Ruan Nanzhu's hand, and he whispered in Ruan Nanzhu's ear: "Don't worry, no matter where it is, as long as you are here, I am willing to go."

Even hell.

Ruan Nanzhu looked back at Lin Qiushi, showing a smile. His hair was slightly long, and his immature face and deep eyes formed a strange sense of coordination. He stood on tiptoe, and printed a gentle smile on Lin Qiushi's lips. Kiss: "Me too."

Lin Qiushi laughed.

Then they fled in embarrassment again. The two of them were like poor mice being teased under the cat's claws, trying their best to seize any chance of survival.

And Lin Qiushi also fully experienced the horror of Ruan Nanzhu's passing through the door. They didn't breathe for more than an hour in one night, and they might even drop some human body parts from the treetops when they stopped by the roadside.

At first Lin Qiushi was still nervous, worried that he would hold Ruan Nanzhu back, but later he became numb and just followed Ruan Nanzhu to hide in the campus.

Lin Qiushi said we can't leave the school?

Ruan Nanzhu replied that he is more familiar with the school environment, and it may be more troublesome to go out. If it is not necessary to go out, he thinks it is more reliable to be in school.

During the escape, Lin Qiushi saw many of Ruan Nanzhu's friends, and some ghosts who had good intentions towards Ruan Nanzhu.

This is simply like a large playground, there are grievances for grievances, revenge for revenge, and of course there are also those who come to repay kindness.

It's no wonder that Ruan Nanzhu didn't have time to reply to Lin Qiushi's text messages before. Given the intensity of their escape now, it's lucky for the two of them to chat occasionally.

After a whole night like this, the two of them were sitting next to the cafeteria to rest when it was almost dawn.

Ruan Nanzhu suffered some injuries, but it was not serious. Lin Qiushi helped him to bandage him briefly. During the bandage, Ruan Nanzhu looked at Lin Qiushi with burning eyes and said, "You saw what kind of night I had. , will you come tomorrow?"

Lin Qiushi nodded with a smile. Although his night was much better than Ruan Nanzhu's, he still wanted to be by his side.

"Okay." Ruan Nanzhu said, "As you wish." As Lin Qiushi had agreed, he did not push Lin Qiushi out again, and the two leaned together, waiting for the dawn.

Lin Qiushi said: "You were so thin when you were in high school." He bandaged Ruan Nanzhu, and naturally saw Ruan Nanzhu's body. Although Ruan Nanzhu was already very tall in high school, his body was not strong. He is not of the same level at all.

Ruan Nanzhu glanced at Lin Qiushi and said nothing.

Lin Qiushi said: "You are really cute now."

Ruan Nanzhu was expressionless: "Then do you like me now or me in the future?"

Lin Qiushi: "..." He shouldn't bring up this topic. After all, Ruan Nanzhu is a person who can even be jealous of his own women's clothing. He was jealous of himself when he was young... It's because he can talk about it.

But under Ruan Nanzhu's stare, Lin Qiushi still betrayed his soul, he said: "I like them all!"

Ruan Nanzhu: "Tsk."

Lin Qiushi: "..." What does your expression of regret mean?

Towards dawn, they discussed the key again, but neither had a clue.This door is too strange, the monsters that appear every night are almost different, even if some monsters will appear a second time, there is still no trace.

No solution is really no solution, at least at this time, neither of them found any rules from it.

But what is more concerning is that they found that the monsters appeared in order, and the order gradually increased according to the time before and after they entered the door...

"Could it be that you want to go through all the doors?" Ruan Nanzhu speculated, "I want to see all the ghosts inside the door..."

Lin Qiushi had some other ideas, he said: "It's not just ghosts."

Ruan Nanzhu looked at Lin Qiushi.

"There are still old people." Lin Qiushi said, "Does this look like...a trial?"

Ruan Nanzhu nodded.

Lin Qiushi said: "Addition, subtraction, and subtraction will eventually return to zero. Hatred kills, and love repays kindness." With his hands on his chin, he watched the faint morning light in the sky, and sleepiness began to rise in his mind. Ruan Nan Zhu couldn't hold it up first, and fell into Lin Qiushi's arms.

Looking at Ruan Nanzhu's sleeping face, Lin Qiushi lowered his head, and pressed a gentle kiss on his forehead, then closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.

This was the most peaceful sleep Lin Qiushi had ever had since he entered the No.11 door. He knew that Ruan Nanzhu was by his side, and they could see each other as long as the sky darkened.

Neither ghosts nor death could separate the two, and he was no longer afraid. The huge hole in his heart was filled by another gentle soul.

The originally terrifying night, because of the existence of Ruan Nanzhu, made people look forward to it.

Lin Qiushi finally understood that sentence, falling in love with someone seems to have a weakness and an armor.

They finally became the most solid reliance on each other.
