Kaleidoscope of Death

The car drove out of the community and moved forward.

Lin Qiushi and Cheng Qianli sat in the back seat. They didn't talk much, and the atmosphere in the car was very quiet.It wasn't until the car drove onto the highway that Lin Qiushi couldn't help asking, "Where are you taking me?"

"I thought you wouldn't ask." Cheng Qianli said.

Lin Qiushi: "I asked you to tell me?"

Cheng Qianli: "I won't."

Lin Qiushi: "..." You guys are really interesting.

Half an hour later, the car stopped outside a detached villa in the suburbs.

Lin Qiushi got out of the car and observed the building in front of him.This villa is a single family, with no people around, it just stands alone in the wilderness.

The surroundings of the villa are full of lush grass and trees. Standing outside the door, you can hear the noisy sound of insects.

Ruan Nanzhu parked the car, and the three of them walked along the path.Lin Qiushi took out his mobile phone and looked at it, and found that it was exactly one o'clock in the morning, probably because the place was too far away, the mobile phone signal was very weak, and there was only a small bar.

Ruan Nanzhu walked ahead, reached the entrance of the villa, raised his hand and pushed the door open.

After Lin Qiushi entered the door, he saw that the villa was brightly lit. There were three people sitting in the living room on the first floor, and they seemed to be discussing something.The three of them were two men and one woman, and when they saw him coming, they all cast a fixed gaze on him.

"Brother Ruan." One of them called Ruan Nanzhu, with a very respectful attitude, "You are back."

Ruan Nanzhu nodded slightly, found a sofa to sit down, and raised his hand to signal Lin Qiushi to sit next to him.Lin Qiushi hesitated for a moment, but still obeyed Ruan Nanzhu.

Ruan Nanzhu said: "You just came out of the door." He stretched out his hand, "Where is the note?"

Lin Qiushi was taken aback for a moment. He didn't expect Ruan Nanzhu to be so straight to the point without any foreshadowing, so he asked him directly for the note.

"Don't you think you should explain the situation first?" Lin Qiushi said, "Break into my house suddenly, bring me here, and ask me for something without saying anything?"

Ruan Nanzhu said: "Qianli, explain."

Cheng Qianli shrugged, with a helpless look on his face, he got up, picked up the notebook in front of him, opened it, tapped it for a while, and then handed it to Lin Qiushi.

Confused, Lin Qiushi still took the notebook and saw eight or nine webpages opened on it: "What is it?"

Cheng Qianli: "Look."

Lin Qiushi swiped the mouse, browsed the web pages roughly, and found that these web pages were all yesterday's news, and most of them were accidental deaths.One of them was very familiar to Lin Qiushi. It was about a car accident in X City. The driver was driving too fast and hit the guardrail and died directly.Looking at the abbreviations and photos of surnames in the news, Lin Qiushi finally realized what these contents were.

All the dead people on the webpage were the same group of people he saw inside the door.They all died almost at the same night, although the ways of death were various, including suicide and homicide.

Lin Qiushi: "...if the inside of the door dies, the people outside will die too?"

Cheng Qianli nodded: "Let me tell you this first, so that you can be mentally prepared. That door is not a joke, nor is it a nightmare. Something happened inside, and no one was left outside."

Lin Qiushi said: "I know, but what is that?"

"It's hard to use science to explain what it is, it is against the rules." Cheng Qianli glanced at Ruan Nanzhu who was sitting next to him, "You just came out of the door, hurry up and get you out of the door Give us the note you got, it's important."

Lin Qiushi: "I didn't bring my note with me."

"It doesn't matter if you don't bring it, do you remember what was written on it?" Cheng Qianli asked.

Lin Qiushi nodded. He hesitated for a while, facing everyone's gaze, he still said the content of the note: "Firsha Bird."

"Check." Ruan Nanzhu gave an order, and everyone started to move.

Seeing their nervous expressions made Lin Qiushi a little nervous too, he said: "What's going on, I don't understand..."

Ruan Nanzhu said: "Has anything strange happened to you recently?" He was looking at his mobile phone, "something like omen."

Lin Qiushi said: "Omen?"

Ruan Nanzhu: "Yes, a sign." He explained, "For example, seeing something that I haven't seen before, some minor accidents, or..." He paused here, "The animals in the house are not allowed to touch. ?”

Lin Qiushi: "Yes, yes, my cat won't let me cuddle, do you think there is still a cure for my problem?"

Cheng Qianli: "There is no cure, cut it off."

Lin Qiushi: "..."

Ruan Nanzhu glanced at Cheng Qianli, and Cheng Qianli quickly put on an expression that I was working hard.Ruan Nanzhu said: "You are dying."

Lin Qiushi was stunned: "Ah?? What do you mean?"

Ruan Nanzhu: "Literally." He said slowly, "But as long as you can survive the twelve doors, you can survive and completely escape the control of the doors."

Lin Qiushi: "The control of the door?" He felt like he had a hundred thousand reasons, and countless questions came to his mind, but he didn't dare to ask them all. Looking at this Ruan Nanzhu, he doesn't seem to be very patient. people.

Sure enough, Ruan Nanzhu said: "You don't need to rush to ask questions, you still have a week to slowly figure out what happened, Cheng Qianli, leave it to you."

Cheng Qianli: "I swear this is the newbie Q&A session I hate the most."

Lin Qiushi: "..." I have wronged you.

"Then let me ask the last question today, okay?" Lin Qiushi thought for a while, and felt that this question was the most important right now.

"What's the problem?" Cheng Qianli asked.

"Who... is Ruan Baijie from you?" Lin Qiushi asked, "She must have something to do with you, right?"

The audience fell into a strange silence, and Cheng Qianli's expression was very strange, even distorted.Lin Qiushi studied for a while before realizing that he was holding back his laughter.

"You will know later." Ruan Nanzhu said warmly, "Don't worry."

Lin Qiushi: "..." Why do you all have such strange expressions?

When they were talking, the people in the room had already found out the Philxia bird and some related information.

Ruan Nanzhu announced after listening to everyone's report: "Cheng Qianli, take him to meet everyone, I have something to go out."

Cheng Qianli: "OK."

After Ruan Nanzhu finished speaking, he left. After a while, the sound of a car starting came from outside the house.

Lin Qiushi and Cheng Qianli, who were left behind, looked at each other, and finally Cheng Qianli stood up and said, "Let me introduce you, this is Lu Yanxue, the only girl in our team, she is more courageous than a man, and her personality is stronger than a man's." rough."

Lu Yanxue: "Damn it, Cheng Qianli, can you speak human language?"

Cheng Qianli ignored her and introduced two other people: "Chen Fei, Yi Manman, Chen Fei is the one wearing glasses, and the other is Yi Manman. Stay away from him."

Chen Fei nodded to Lin Qiushi, Yi Manman: "Cheng Qianli, are you itchy or what?"

"This is Lin Qiushi, you all know it by now." Cheng Qianli said, "The man brought back by Brother Ruan."

Judging from their attitudes, the three of them are still quite friendly, but they don't talk much, and they don't mean to exchange feelings with Lin Qiushi.

Cheng Qianli seemed to see Lin Qiushi's thoughts, and explained sincerely: "Don't blame them for not welcoming you. After all, we don't know how long you can live. It's hard to waste your feelings on a dead person."

Lin Qiushi: "..." I feel much better when you say that - no wonder, what do you mean you don't know how long he will live.

"At least you have to go through the next door." Cheng Qianli said, "But your next door, Brother Ruan, should take you through, and there shouldn't be any major problems."

Lin Qiushi: "Then Ruan Baijie..."

Cheng Qianli: "Are you hungry? Would you like something to eat?"

Lin Qiushi: "..." Your topic is too blunt.

Lin Qiushi was not hungry, and couldn't fall asleep after being woken up in the middle of the night, so he sat in the living room and watched them do things.They all seemed to be looking for things about the Fiersha bird. Although it was just a fairy-tale name, they seemed to be digging three feet into the ground to find out all the clues.Chen Fei and Yi Manman are still discussing going to the library tomorrow.

Cheng Qianli said that Lin Qiushi can go upstairs to sleep when he has nothing to do. The room has been prepared for him. The one on the right hand is the one with a computer in it. If Lin Qiushi has nothing to do, he can still play games.

Lin Qiushi: "...then I'm going to bed."

Cheng Qianli: "Good night."

Lin Qiushi thumped up the stairs, and as soon as he turned to his right hand, he saw a person standing at the end of the corridor. He thought it was someone else living in the villa, and was about to go up to say hello, but Lin Qiushi just saw the person clearly. face, cold sweat dripped down his back.

Cheng Qianli, who was supposed to be sitting downstairs, actually appeared in front of him, and walked towards him expressionlessly.

"Cheng Qianli?" Lin Qiushi took a step back slowly, "Why are you here?"

The man's eyes were indifferent, and his temperament was completely different from Cheng Qianli's. Hearing Lin Qiushi's words, he said lightly, "I'm not Cheng Qianli."

Lin Qiushi: "Then who are you?"

The man said, "I'm Cheng Qianli's brother."

Lin Qiushi: "Huh?"

The man said, "Cheng Yixie."

Lin Qiushi fell into a bewildered silence. He didn't speak, turned around and ran back to the first floor, saw that Cheng Qianli was indeed sitting in the living room chatting with Lu Yanxue, saw him running back, and asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"

Lin Qiushi: "You have a twin brother?"

Cheng Qianli: "Oh, yes, I forgot."

Lin Qiushi: "..." Can you forget such an important thing?And what's the matter with your two names, a thousand miles away, a thousand miles away? ? ?

The author has something to say: Lin Qiushi: I just want to know Ruan Baijie...

Ruan Nanzhu: If you come to me at night, I will let you get to know him well.

Lin Qiushi: ...
