Kaleidoscope of Death

Ruan Nanzhu knew that Lin Qiushi seemed to have noticed his little secret in an afternoon when they returned to reality after they left the door.

Ruan Nanzhu was fine that day. He was sitting on the balcony flipping through a book. He happened to find a sentence that he thought was interesting, so he read it out to Lin Qiushi. He said: "When you stare at the abyss, the abyss is also staring at you .”

Lin Qiushi was sleeping, but after hearing this sentence, he said to Ruan Nanzhu in a daze: "What you do to the abyss will always be reflected on yourself, right?"

"Really." Ruan Nanzhu didn't think too much, bowed his head and kissed Lin Qiushi.

Then he heard Lin Qiushi say: "Then should I unzip my pants for you..."

Ruan Nanzhu was dumbfounded for a moment, and then laughed lowly. At this moment, he understood that Lin Qiushi knew everything.

"Yes." Ruan Nanzhu replied, "So, you should treat the abyss better."

Lin Qiushi didn't notice the abnormalities in life at first because all the attention was on Ruan Nanzhu. Later, after Ruan Nanzhu looked back, these abnormalities slowly surfaced like icebergs hidden under the water.

In Lin Qiushi's memory, he does not smoke, even if he has cigarettes on his body, it is convenient to pass them to others at work.But after leaving the door, he actually became addicted to smoking, and even smoked several packs a day, without even the slightest sense of disobedience from smoking for the first time.

And the family with which he had a cold relationship started to contact him frequently, and the words were mostly worried about him, and Bai Ming, who was clearly a good friend with Ruan Nanzhu, seemed to have known him for many years...

Lin Qiushi saw all these things, but he didn't go into it.

It doesn't matter whether you get the answers to some questions or not. As long as Ruan Nanzhu is by his side, he thinks it is enough. As for what Ruan Nanzhu is...

Lin Qiushi stretched out his hand and pinched the earlobe of his lover, leaned close to his cheek and murmured in a low voice: "Honey, what the hell are you?"

Ruan Nanzhu was reading a book, looked up at Lin Qiushi, and suddenly laughed, he said: "I am your milk tea."

Lin Qiushi: "..."

Ruan Nanzhu said: "Don't you ask me why it's your milk tea?"

Lin Qiushi raised his eyebrows: "I was a virgin when I heard this joke last time, and now I am a mother of three children."

Immediately, the two laughed, and the atmosphere was full of joy.

Ruan Nanzhu originally thought that Lin Qiushi would continue to ask questions, but Lin Qiushi stretched, got up from the bed, said to take a bath, and ended the topic.

Ruan Nanzhu looked at Lin Qiushi's back and opened his mouth to make a mouth shape. If Lin Qiushi turned around at this time, he would find Ruan Nanzhu saying a word to him - I am the door.

I am the door, yes, what Ruan Nanzhu said is that I am the door.

He is the No.12 door.

But in fact, Ruan Nanzhu didn't realize it until he experienced the night of the night walk of the ghosts.His memory was perfect, as if he was really the leader of Obsidian, an ordinary person who started entering the door when he was a teenager, overcame numerous obstacles, and finally passed the tenth door with difficulty.Ruan Nanzhu has no other memories about the door, and he firmly believes that he is an ordinary human being.

This firm belief was suddenly broken after the night of the night walk of the ghosts he and Lin Qiushi spent.

At that time, the days were getting longer and the nights were getting shorter, and the time Ruan Nanzhu and Lin Qiushi spent together also entered the countdown.When the night was no longer coming, Ruan Nanzhu thought he would never see Lin Qiushi again. He was crazy and wanted to find the key to leave here, but he vaguely discovered that some things seemed to be out of his control...

What he didn't tell Lin Qiushi was that he would see ghosts during the day, at first because he was afraid of Lin Qiushi, but later because he found that these ghosts would not hurt him.Horrible ghosts exist in every corner, and even when Ruan Nanzhu opened his suitcase, he would see a scary box girl hidden in it—although her expression looked very strange when Ruan Nanzhu turned it out. Just be innocent.

Ruan Nanzhu experienced about half a month from the initial surprise with faint fear, to the later indifference and numbness.

When he realized that he would never see Lin Qiushi again, Ruan Nanzhu was able to kick the female ghost squatting on his bed with a cold face, and told her indifferently not to squat on top of his head, so that he would not grow up. Gao... I don't know if it was his illusion, but after he said this, he actually saw a little grievance on the female ghost's face.

Ruan Nanzhu thought angrily, why are you wronged, I haven't had time to feel wronged yet.

But at this time, although the situation around him was getting weirder and weirder, Ruan Nanzhu was still confused and didn't understand what happened. He even thought it was the door's punishment for him, until one day, a little ghost in red , leading him to a place.

When Ruan Nanzhu walked there, he recognized at a glance that this was the location of the apartment where Lin Qiushi used to live, but the apartment hadn't been built yet, and there was a very old-looking tube building in front of him.

The little ghost stood on the fifth floor, waving at Ruan Nanzhu. Ruan Nanzhu looked up at her, frowning: "Fifth floor? What did you bring me here for?" He carefully observed the little ghost's appearance, a little Unbelievable, "You can't be Sako, can you?"

After he finished speaking, he saw the kid smiling shyly... Although it was not cute at all to make such an expression with a pale face.

Ruan Nanzhu was in a hurry to leave here, but he had no idea about the key, so he thought of treating a dead horse as a living horse doctor, and went to see what Zuozi wanted to show him.

Ruan Nanzhu went up to the fifth floor, walked to a room at the end, pushed open the half-hidden door, and saw a room.There was no one in the room, only an old broken TV placed on the head of the bed, and something seemed to be playing on the TV.

Ruan Nanzhu's eyes fell on the TV, and there was a look of astonishment in his eyes. He even thought that he had read it wrong, and walked quickly to the TV, only then did he confirm that the TV was indeed the appearance of Lin Qiushi when he was a teenager.

Lin Qiushi was walking on a small road, and two people appeared beside him. These two Ruan Nanzhu also knew each other. They were Xiong Qi and Xiao Ke who they had met in the same door. Ruan Nanzhu held his breath, and his eyes flashed Staring at the picture on the TV motionlessly.

"Where is this place?" The young Lin Qiushi's expression was very immature, and there was some fear in his black eyes. He asked cautiously, "Who are you?"

The screen continued to play, and Ruan Nanzhu finished watching the whole content, and what was shown on the TV was how Lin Qiushi got through the first door without Ruan Nanzhu.

Ruan Nanzhu's fingertips touched the cold screen, and gently brushed Lin Qiushi's cheek through the glass. Even Lin Qiushi in his youth was so fascinating.

He is like an undiscovered rough stone, as long as anyone who knows the goods knows what kind of dazzling treasures will be found inside.

A smart, brave, calm, not blind and kind person who sticks to the bottom line, Ruan Nanzhu thought, his lover is so attractive no matter what the situation is.

The program on TV has become a series, all about Lin Qiushi, how he got in, how he met a group of friends, how he took over Obsidian...

Ruan Nanzhu was fascinated when he saw it, and he even had an idea in his mind, why didn't he accompany Lin Qiushi when Lin Qiushi was doing these things? If he could accompany him, what kind of situation would it be? A wonderful experience... Then Ruan Nanzhu woke up startled and noticed something strange about him.

He did indeed accompany Lin Qiushi and accompany him through the test of the eleven doors, but if that was the case, then why did the thoughts just appear in his mind so naturally.

Ruan Nanzhu felt something was wrong.

And this kind of ailment, along with the series in front of him, began to expand and spread, like an unstoppable plague.

Ruan Nanzhu saw Lin Qiushi's family members on TV, and their way of getting along was exactly the same as his own.Ruan Nanzhu also saw Bai Ming, who was supposed to be his best friend, but on TV, he was Lin Qiushi's best friend...

Lin Qiushi grew up slowly, from a boy to a mature man. People around him came and went, but he did not change his original intention, as if the darkness shone on him, not even casting a shadow.

After watching Lin Qiushi for three days and three nights in a row, Ruan Nanzhu finally realized something...he seemed to be not human.

For three days, he didn't sleep or rest, but he didn't feel hungry or tired, and he was still in good spirits, maintaining his best condition.

Time is nullified by him.

The kid who brought him squatted beside him, looking at him eagerly.

Ruan Nanzhu was wary of her at first, but later he felt a little helpless. He said, "Why are you showing me this? Are you trying to tell me that I am not human?"

Zuozi turned his head and looked at Ruan Nanzhu without saying a word.

Ruan Nanzhu wanted to say something more, but Zuozi pointed at the screen, signaling Ruan Nanzhu to continue watching.

Ruan Nanzhu thought, things won't get worse anyway, so let's keep watching, he can't leave here, and he can't see Lin Qiushi, so it doesn't matter if he keeps watching.

So Ruan Nanzhu watched Lin Qiushi's time continue to move forward.

He is like a spy, seeing every stage of Lin Qiushi's life since he touched the door.He watched Lin Qiushi cry, watched Lin Qiushi smile, watched him meet new friends with a bright smile, watched him lose his best friend and cry bitterly, time passed little by little, Ruan Nanzhu, who didn't need to rest, had lost the concept of time.

Finally, there was a decisive change in the picture.

Ruan Nanzhu saw Lin Qiushi walk into his No.12 door, and then the screen changed, but Lin Qiushi appeared in a familiar rental house.

At the same time, the scene around Ruan Nanzhu also began to change, the old decorations began to fade, and the environment around him became exactly the same as the one on TV.

On the TV, Lin Qiushi was lying on the bed and sleeping soundly, and a black shadow appeared beside Lin Qiushi.The shadow couldn't see clearly what it looked like, it was just a dark shadow.Shadow stretched out his fingers, and carefully touched Lin Qiushi's cheeks, from the forehead, to the bridge of the nose, to the lips, with gentle movements, as if afraid of waking up the sleeping Lin Qiushi.

Then Shadow's body began to change, the black gradually faded from his body, his appearance became more and more human, and even at a certain moment, he became exactly the same as Lin Qiushi lying on the bed.

But the shadow didn't seem to want to have the same face as Lin Qiushi, and quickly changed his appearance. When the shadow finally took shape, Ruan Nanzhu, who was watching all this outside the TV, smiled wryly—that shadow was actually the same face as him. appearance.

That's right, the shadow is Ruan Nanzhu.

If it was someone else, they might have been stimulated to go crazy after seeing this scene, but Ruan Nanzhu was very calm. In fact, he had already guessed about it when he watched Lin Qiushi's life these days, but now he saw it with his own eyes. , still a little exciting.

Ruan Nanzhu on TV smiled longingly at Lin Qiushi, then his figure faded away and disappeared beside Lin Qiushi.

And when Lin Qiushi woke up the next day, the first thing he found was that Li Zi wouldn't let him hug him.

Lizi the cat, who was very attached to him at first, yelled at him angrily, as if he didn't know him at all.The cat slave Lin Qiushi was completely at a loss when he saw this scene, he could only look at Lizi who was standing tall and disdainful, and said, "Lizi, why don't you want your father, Lizi?"

Ruan Nanzhu looked at Lin Qiushi, his shoulders began to shake slightly, and then he finally couldn't help laughing, he knew that the story belonging to him and Lin Qiushi was about to begin.

Sure enough, a few days later, Lin Qiushi opened the door.

Inside the door was a scene he should have seen once, but because his memory had been edited, there was only a strange look in his eyes, and this time, there was an unfamiliar face on his way forward.

Ruan Baijie, who was wearing women's clothing, walked up to Lin Qiushi pitifully, with tears streaming down her face, and asked Lin Qiushi where this place was.

When Lin Qiushi asked Ruan Nanzhu's name, Ruan Baijie blurted out from Ruan Nanzhu's mouth.

This is how they met.

At that time, Ruan Nanzhu also thought that he was an ordinary person, and he finally got his wish. In another way, he joined Lin Qiushi's journey and became an indispensable and important role in Lin Qiushi's life.

This made Ruan Nanzhu very satisfied, but when everything ends, the twelve doors will also end.

Ruan Nanzhu still hasn't recovered his memory of being an inhuman. He just knows that he is not a human being, but what exactly is he?Ruan Nanzhu thought about this question, glanced at Sako who was staring at him eagerly, and said in amazement: "I'm not the NPC guarding the twelve doors, am I?"

Zuozi looked at Ruan Nanzhu and said nothing, but Ruan Nanzhu actually saw the disdain in her eyes.

Ruan Nanzhu: "..." Damn, it seems to be true.

To be honest, Ruan Nanzhu feels that he can really do this kind of thing that erases his memory and seems to never recover, and now his goal has been achieved, he has got his beloved.

"What should I do if I'm still a little happy." There was no one here, only endless ghosts, Ruan Nanzhu sat in the darkness, smiling softly, "I feel so happy when I think of being able to experience so much with him."

Sako next to him would naturally not respond to him.

"But now here comes the question, how do I get out." Ruan Nanzhu raised his head and looked at the unfamiliar rental house, "I can go out." He thought for a moment, then turned his gaze to Zuo Zi, "You still what do you know?"

Sako glanced at the clock on the wall.

Ruan Nanzhu: "Clock?" He stood up, looked at the clock with twelve numbers that was still going forward, thought for a moment, then reached out and took it down.

Then he took off the clock cover, didn't see anything in the clock cover, then pressed the button for controlling the paper hour hand, and was about to turn it, but suddenly thought of something, he asked Sako the last question , he said: "By the way... When I cross the door with Qiushi, if I fail to cross the door, will I die?"

Hearing this, Zuozi's expression became a little strange, like pity, or looking at a mentally disturbed person, and finally nodded.

Ruan Nanzhu laughed, thinking that this is really his own style, everything must be perfect, and everything should be closer to reality.

Ruan Nanzhu turned the clock, and after a while, two keys fell to the ground. He picked them up, saw the words engraved on them, and couldn't help smiling.

Illusory life, real death, no matter what kind of world Lin Qiushi wants, Ruan Nanzhu can give him.

He can choose the cruel reality, or the beautiful dream, and the power to make decisions, Ruan Nanzhu put it in Lin Qiushi's hands.

Just thinking about it now, all of this is probably superfluous. Ruan Nanzhu knew Lin Qiushi's answer without thinking about it. He took the key, turned and left the house, opened the door, but saw only one door in the corridor.The door was filled with gentle white light, Ruan Nanzhu walked to the door and walked in.

The world line began to change.

Originally, there was no obsidian in Ruan Nanzhu's memory at all, but there seemed to be something more in his mind, so when he saw Ruan Nanzhu walking down the second floor of the villa, no one showed a surprised expression, even Ye Niao was surprised. Excitedly, he called Lin Qiushi and told Lin Qiushi that Brother Ruan was back.

Lin Qiushi on the other end of the phone was ecstatic.

Ruan Nanzhu sat in the living room, observing the surrounding scenery calmly, making sure that the scenery was no different from what he remembered.

"Brother Ruan, you are finally back." Ye Niao was still talking to him, "You don't even know how Brother Lin has been through this year."

"One year?" Ruan Nanzhu was slightly stunned, "Has it been a year?"

"Yes." Ye Niao said, "It's been a year."

Ruan Nanzhu thought, fortunately he didn't hesitate, otherwise Lin Qiushi's child would be three years old when he came out...

Then the two meet and embrace each other happily.

Lin Qiushi didn't ask Ruan Nanzhu why he only appeared now. In fact, as long as Ruan Nanzhu could come out, Lin Qiushi would not blame him.

But immersed in happiness, Ruan Nanzhu soon discovered a bad thing. Since he came out of the door, the No.12 door of the other passers-by was actually sealed, and a seal was pasted on it , as if telling people outside that the inside is empty.

With Lin Qiushi's IQ, seeing such a scene and contacting other anomalies, it is not difficult to guess the identity of Ruan Nanzhufei.After realizing this, Ruan Nanzhu was a little flustered, because he wasn't sure if Lin Qiushi would mind about it. After all, things like whether a lover is a human being or a door god don't seem very pleasant.

So when Ruan Nanzhu took Lin Qiushi's mobile phone from the forum and took it away from Lin Qiushi's hand, he carefully observed Lin Qiushi's expression, and found that there was no change in his lover's expression, as if he hadn't noticed it at all, Ruan Nanzhu Candle heaved a sigh of relief.

Of course, it was only later that Ruan Nanzhu realized that Lin Qiushi didn't know, but pretended not to know. He didn't care what Ruan Nanzhu was.

"How on earth did you make friends with Bai Ming?" Lin Qiushi sat on the sofa, watching TV with the remote control, chatting casually with Ruan Nanzhu.

"He happened to have a clue to the high-level door in his hand. I needed to take someone through the door, so I went with him." Ruan Nanzhu replied.

Lin Qiushi turned his head to look at Ruan Nanzhu, and said, "Then why does he come to chat with me every day?"

"Hey, can you chat without pretending that I'm not here?" Bai Ming said angrily while eating the melon seeds that Ruan Nanzhu had just fried, "You can't flirt in another place, and I'm just treating you Lin Qiushi hit it off right away, can't you?"

"No." Ruan Nanzhu said, "Take your claws off him."

Bai Ming: "Hmph, stingy."

Lin Qiushi smiled, but didn't speak.

Bai Ming stood up and said goodbye, saying that his family had texted him and asked him to have dinner with him.

"He still has time to have dinner with you?" Lin Qiushi said casually, "Isn't he busy with a new movie?"

"That's right." Bai Ming sighed, "But I like him who made movies. Have you seen his "The Way of the King"? To be honest, we were on the set that time..."

"Shut up, you." Lin Qiushi and Ruan Nanzhu said in unison, and they quickly stopped Bai Ming's attempt to tell dirty jokes. After all, they didn't want to have some bad images in their minds when watching a movie.

"Yes." Bai Ming spread his hands, "You two are more and more alike."

"Does it look good?" Lin Qiushi asked.

"Would you like to fall in love with someone with a similar personality?" Bai Ming said.

"I like it." Lin Qiushi laughed, but his tone was serious, "I have such a good personality, why don't you like it?"

Bai Ming: "..." He found out that these two people were stuffing him with dog food on purpose, so he turned around cleanly and left, cursing the two bullies.

Lin Qiushi and Ruan Nanzhu laughed, and then looked at each other, and they both saw some deep meaning in each other's eyes, but in the deep meaning, there was still an undisguised love.

Why do you have to think so clearly about some things, Lin Qiushi thought, as long as he was by his side, it was enough.
