Kaleidoscope of Death

Hearing Lin Qiushi's words, Ruan Nanzhu paused slightly, but his next move was to stop Lin Qiushi from continuing to observe, and whispered: "Don't worry about it, find Cheng Qianli first."

Only then did Lin Qiushi remember that they had a companion.Since he arrived at the temple, he hadn't seen Cheng Qianli, and he didn't know where he went right now.

Seeing them walking towards the temple, Xu Jin who was following said tremblingly, "Where are you going? Are you going in? I think this place is really scary."

"Well, go in and have a look." Lin Qiushi responded to Xu Jin, and continued to walk into the temple while observing the surroundings.

This temple is very large, and the outermost part is an empty hall.There is a Buddha statue and some burning incense tables in front of the hall, and it seems that there are people offering sacrifices on weekdays.

Walking inside, there are many separated small rooms. Most of these small rooms are locked. Lin Qiushi saw through the window that there was something similar to a statue inside, but the statue was covered by a red curtain. stand up.

"I really want to go in and have a look." Ruan Nanzhu muttered inaudibly.

"What's in here." Xu Jin touched the goosebumps on her arm, "It's so scary..."

When Ruan Nanzhu heard this, he turned around and leaned against Lin Qiushi, and said weakly, brother Lin Lin, I was also afraid.

Lin Qiushi knew that he was playing again, he held his hand a little dumbfounded, and said, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."

Seeing this, Xu Jin gritted his teeth in hatred, and probably scolded ten thousand words in his heart.

Several people continued to move forward, and after passing through an aisle, they finally saw Cheng Qianli's figure.

Cheng Qianli was standing in a corner of a side hall, facing the wall, not knowing what he was looking at.

Hearing footsteps, he turned around to see Lin Qiushi and the others, and said, "Come and see, there are murals on it."

Lin Qiushi walked over and said, "What mural? Little brother, my name is Yu Linlin, what's your name?"

Cheng Qianli said, "Just call me Muyu, where are these two beautiful girls?"

Xu Jin and Ruan Nanzhu introduced themselves one after another.

"Oh, you guys are so unlucky." Cheng Qianli said, "Such a beautiful girl has to enter such a terrifying world."

Xu Jin said: "Yes, I'm so scared." Her grievance finally had a target to vent, and she choked up, "It's weird everywhere here, and I don't understand what's going on now." She wiped the wetness with her hands The corners of his eyes looked pitiful.

"This mural is a local custom." Ruan Nanzhu's voice grabbed Cheng Qianli's attention, and he reached out to touch the wall, "This mural is either newly painted, or someone maintains it frequently. , the colors are very fresh.”

"Well, what is the painting? I don't quite understand it." Cheng Qianli completely ignored Xu Jin next to him.

"It means they are celebrating newborns." Ruan Nanzhu said, "There are two newborns, one represents the moon and the other represents the sun..." He simply described the pattern on the mural, "The newborn who represents the moon likes to knock Drum, the newborn baby representing the sun has been hidden." A little doubt appeared on his face, and he repeated: "Hidden?"

"What do you mean?" Lin Qiushi did not understand the meaning of these words.

"I don't know." Ruan Nanzhu said, "It's painted like this in the mural, and I don't know what it means to hide it."

Xu Jin, whose attention was taken away again, said sourly from the side: "Miss sister, you know a lot."

Ruan Nanzhu smiled slightly: "You haven't asked my age yet, why do you call me Miss Sister? I'm twenty this year, how about you?"

Xu Jin: "23..."

Ruan Nanzhu: "Oh, you are the young lady."

Xu Jin pouted from Ruan Nanzhu's anger.

Lin Qiushi looked at it and thought it was really funny. Ruan Nanzhu was addicted to teasing the little girl.

"Have you found the stairs to the second floor?" Cheng Qianli said, "Music can be heard from the top of the building. It should be the monks in this temple, right?"

Speaking of music, Lin Qiushi remembered the sound he heard in the hall.His hearing is very keen now, and he can easily distinguish the source of the sound.Because of this, he was also very sure that the sound was indeed coming from the ceiling of the hall, and the farther away it was, the smaller the sound was.

"Not found." Ruan Nanzhu said, "Let's look for it again."

The sixteen people who were originally quite lively were completely separated in this empty and huge temple.They went straight along the corridor, and only met three or four people on the way, and the rest of them didn't know where they went.

But at this time, Lin Qiushi has no other energy to care about others. He is more concerned about where to find more clues about the key in this temple.

The four of them moved forward and finally reached the end.

At the end of the temple, there is an open wilderness. There are many rocks and a platform built with wood.The platform seemed to have some special purpose, it was set up very high, and they stood under it, unable to see clearly what was on the shelf.

"Do you want to go up and have a look?" Lin Qiushi asked.

"You can go and have a look." Ruan Nanzhu said, "Let's go together."

"Don't go." Lin Qiushi was worried that Ruan Nanzhu would go up, he said, "I can do it alone."

Cheng Qianli said: "Let's go together, the two of you are down there, remind us of something."

"Okay, you two go up and have a look." Ruan Nanzhu said, "Come down immediately if something is wrong."

There is a wooden ladder next to the shelf to go up, but it is very narrow and high, and the speed of climbing up will be very slow.Lin Qiushi's main purpose of climbing this ladder was to see what was on the platform. Secondly, the height of the shelf was so high that he could almost see the surrounding scenery at a glance. After climbing up, he should be able to take a general look at the surrounding situation.

Cheng Qianli walked behind Lin Qiushi, and whispered to Lin Qiushi, "What's wrong with Brother Ruan, why does he look so ugly?"

"He is not feeling well." Lin Qiushi explained, "It should be that his spirit has not recovered yet."

Cheng Qianli: "What about that Xu Jin?"

Lin Qiushi: "A newcomer, I took her along for fear of arousing suspicion."

When the two were talking, they were about to climb onto the high wooden platform.Lin Qiushi walked in the front, stepped on the last step of the stairs, and finally stepped onto the high platform. He immediately regretted going up.I saw that the platform was full of minced meat and bones, as well as some black hair. These minced meat and bones were still very fresh, and there were no signs of decay, as if they had just been placed on it.

"Don't come up." Lin Qiushi said, "It's full of dead people."

Cheng Qianli stopped in his tracks, and opened his mouth to curse.

Although Lin Qiushi wanted to lie to himself that these pieces of meat and bones belonged to other creatures, he clearly saw a few human skulls among these things. These skulls faced Lin Qiushi with dark eyes, which made him give birth A terrible illusion of being stared at.

"Go down." Lin Qiushi sensed that something was wrong and turned around immediately.

Cheng Qianli's reaction was quick, and he began to back away after a hmm. Lin Qiushi was about to turn around and go down, but he heard Ruan Nanzhu who was standing underneath shouted: "Don't turn around——"

However, it was too late for his reminder. The moment Lin Qiushi turned his back to the platform, he felt a pair of hands on his back, and then a strong force hit him, and his whole body was pushed violently.

This platform is about four meters long, and the bottom is full of jagged rocks. If it really falls, it will definitely result in death or injury.

Fortunately, Cheng Qianli had quick eyesight and quick hands, and grabbed Lin Qiushi who was leaning in the center. Both of them rolled down the high wooden steps in a panic, but fortunately nothing major happened.

Lin Qiushi got up in embarrassment, did not dare to stay on the steps, and ran down with Cheng Qianli.

"Fuck, fuck, I was scared to death!" Cheng Qianli was also frightened into a cold sweat, "Yu Linlin, what's wrong with you, slippery feet?"

"No." Lin Qiushi said, "I was pushed a bit."

"Is there really no one? When you came down from there, there were hands stretched out from the platform." Xu Jin was full of horror, "then pushed Yu Linlin."

"Lin Lin." Ruan Nanzhu said suddenly, "You have two palm prints on your back."

Lin Qiushi was taken aback for a moment, then turned around, tugged on his T-shirt, and sure enough saw two bloody palm prints on his back.This palm print is not big, it is between a child and an adult, it is printed on his back like this, it is particularly eye-catching.

"Is this platform a celestial burial platform?" After Lin Qiushi saw the flesh and blood on it, it was hard not to have such an association.

"But this kind of dense jungle usually doesn't have large raptors that eat scavenging." Cheng Qianli said, "Then what is it that eats their corpses?"

Lin Qiushi: "..."

"What else can it be? Naturally, it is the thing that pushed Yu Linlin down." Ruan Nanzhu closed his eyes, "I was careless, I shouldn't let you go up and see." There was a little tiredness in his expression, and the whole Everyone was drowsy and seemed to be in a very bad state of mind.

"Are you feeling unwell?" Lin Qiushi hurriedly asked, "Let's go back and rest first."

Ruan Nanzhu hummed.

So everyone started to walk back again.

Xu Jin also saw what Ruan Nanzhu saw. Her description was similar to Ruan Nanzhu's. She said that when Lin Qiushi turned around, a pair of bloody children's hands stretched out from the table. Those hands had only flesh and blood and no skin. The exposed muscles wrapped around the fragile bones, and then stuck to Lin Qiushi's back like this.This was the first time she saw such a supernatural event, and she was a little stimulated.

But Lin Qiushi didn't have much energy to care about her, because he found that Ruan Nanzhu's condition was very bad.Seeing that Ruan Nanzhu's face was extremely ugly, he proposed to carry him behind his back, but Ruan Nanzhu didn't refuse, and just quietly lay on Lin Qiushi's back.

As a result, Ruan Nanzhu seemed to have fallen asleep before returning to the main hall.

"Why did you fall asleep?" Xu Jin obviously couldn't understand that Ruan Nanzhu was able to fall asleep. She was so scared now that she was like a frightened chicken. Can't sleep, look at the person next to him, he fell asleep on his back as soon as he closed his eyes, this is definitely an act! !

Cheng Qianli said: "Maybe this girl is not in good health."

Before they reached the hall, they heard noisy voices, as if something had happened in the hall.

"He just disappeared in the hall!" A woman cried, "I just took a look at the Buddha statue, and he disappeared as soon as I turned around."

"But we have been around all the time, and we didn't see anyone coming out of the main entrance." Another person said, "Did he go into the corridor?"

The woman said: "Impossible, how could the speed be so fast, it must not have run into the corridor..."

Lin Qiushi walked behind with Ruan Nanzhu on his back, while Cheng Qianli stepped forward quickly and asked what happened.

It turned out that when two people were waiting for a gathering here, one person suddenly disappeared in the hall, and the remaining person stayed in the hall when he disappeared, and nothing unusual was found from the beginning to the end.

Missing in this world is almost equivalent to death, but they don't know what they did to trigger the conditions of death.

"What were you talking about while you were waiting in the hall?" Meng Yu asked, "Did you say where you're going?"

The only remaining woman looked blank. After thinking for a while, she seemed to remember something, and her body froze in place.

"What?" Meng Yu noticed something strange about the woman.

The woman slowly raised her head and looked at the dark roof, she said: "Before he disappeared, he had been discussing with me what was on the ceiling..."

Everyone was silent.

The music hadn't stopped since they entered the temple. At first they thought it was coming from the second floor, but after careful observation, they found that the temple didn't have a second floor at all.The darkness covered everyone's eyes, making them unable to see what was on the ceiling. Some people might think it was an obstacle, but they never thought that it was their protection.

The thing on the ceiling, if you see it, it will kill you.

After listening to the woman's words, most people lowered their heads in response.

Meng Yu didn't seem to be afraid at all. He raised his head and observed the top of his head: "This building is at least six meters long. Without light, it is impossible to see the things on it clearly, so their light source is Where did it come from?"

"Mobile phone?" Lin Qiushi blurted out.

Meng Yu turned to look at Lin Qiushi, and said, "That's right."

In fact, most people don’t bring mobile phones when they enter here. Lin Qiushi asked Ruan Nanzhu this question. Ruan Nanzhu’s answer at the time was that sometimes it is more dangerous to bring a mobile phone, but it’s okay to bring it. Just throw it away after entering. .So Lin Qiushi developed this habit, and when he was free at night, he could still play games with his mobile phone.

"Let's go out first." Someone really couldn't stand the atmosphere, whispered, "It seems that there are no clues to be found."

Meng Yu looked at the time: "If you want to go out, go out, there is still more than an hour before the time agreed by the tour guide and us."

"But it's raining outside." Xu Jin was so scared that she wanted to stand in the place with the most people and shrink herself into a ball.

"It's raining?" Lin Qiushi was taken aback, "When did it start?"

Xu Jin said: "Just now, when you were talking."

It stands to reason that when rain falls on the ground, it will make a rustling sound, but the rain is like pouring, but there is no sound at all, like a mime.Lin Qiushi's sensitive hearing didn't hear anything.

The rain was so strange that those who wanted to go out dared not move.

While everyone was looking at the silent heavy rain outside, the music that had been playing non-stop stopped suddenly, and the whole temple fell into a terrifying silence.

"There's no sound." Xu Jin said, "It's so scary..."

Lin Qiushi frowned, "Didn't you hear that?"

Xu Jin was confused: "What did you hear?"

Lin Qiushi: "Drumbeat...someone is beating the drum."

When everyone heard the words, their faces were blank at first, but soon, the sound of the drumbeat became louder and louder. When everyone heard the drumbeat, other sounds appeared along with the drumbeat.

It was the sound of a wooden door being opened, creaking, Lin Qiushi quickly felt something was wrong, he pushed Ruan Nanzhu awake: "Zhu Meng, I can't sleep anymore, something happened."

Ruan Nanzhu opened his eyes: "I fell asleep?"

"Hmm." Lin Qiushi said, "Something is wrong."

Ruan Nanzhu said, "What's wrong?"

Lin Qiushi: "There's a drumbeat—" If it's just a drumbeat, it's fine. He clearly heard something coming towards this corridor in the corridor where they just came.

Ruan Nanzhu was quiet for a while, as if he wanted to wake himself up from the hazy sleepiness, he said: "Don't be afraid, everyone is here, and the group will not be wiped out."

Rustling, rustling, soon, other people also heard the sound from the corridor.The sound was getting closer and closer. Although the lights in the temple were extremely dim, everyone could still see clearly what appeared on the corridor.

Those were skinned people one by one. They squatted on the ground, dragging sharp long knives in their hands, and ran towards the hall.

Seeing this scene, everyone in the hall showed terrified expressions.Some with poor tolerance began to scream.

"Everyone calm down!!" Meng Yu said, "They won't necessarily kill us!"

"You fucking fart, why can't this thing kill people!" The newcomer with yellow hair seemed to be emotionally broken, and rushed out the door while swearing, "You are waiting inside to die Let's go!! I'm going first!!"

Meng Yu's expression turned cold in an instant, and his usual gentle smile seemed to be an illusion, but this change was only a flash, and soon he returned to his gentle look: "Don't worry, everyone, the door will not set up a deadlock , it is impossible for so many people to trigger the death condition at the same time, so don't rush out!"

As if to confirm his words, the blond young man who had just rushed out let out a shrill howl, and red blood burst from his body.

Ruan Nanzhu, who was lying on Lin Qiushi's back, suddenly said, "That's not rain."

"Huh?" Lin Qiushi was taken aback.

Ruan Nanzhu said: "That's a knife."

Lin Qiushi: "..." He seemed to understand what was going on.

The young man who ran out of the temple in a panic paid a heavy price.But in an instant, the skin on his body was bloody and bloody cut by those sharp blades, like Ling Chi, everyone could clearly see that his whole body had become bloody and bloody, and miserable screams could be heard endlessly.

The young man tried to run back, but he staggered and fell to the ground. However, even after seeing the bones, his screams did not stop, as if the sharp blade avoided a place that could kill him.

It was almost skinned alive.

Xu Jin's scalp felt numb and couldn't help retching.

But the bloody monsters that had just rushed into the temple from the corridor let out excited cries.

Finally, the young man's screams stopped, and he fell straight on the ground, leaving almost nothing but a boneless skeleton.

The monsters rushed to his side and began to chew and swallow loudly, and soon they ate up the flesh that had been stripped from the young man's side, without even a trace of blood.

After eating, the monsters seemed to have not seen the living people in the temple, and scattered again.

The atmosphere in the temple was eerily quiet, no one spoke or moved.

"How could this be?" Finally someone said in a daze, "What are those things..."

Meng Yu said: "Who knows."

"Can we still go out?" Xu Jin tremblingly asked, "Will we die outside?"

"Probably not." Lin Qiushi whispered, "The place that the tour guide agreed with us is outside, and the time is almost up."

"We're going out? What if it rains with knives again?" Xu Jin still had lingering fears, and the bloody corpse was just placed at the door, irritating everyone's attention.

"As I said, the door will not design a deadly situation." Meng Yu accepted all this calmly, "If everyone does the same thing, then nothing will happen."

When Ruan Nanzhu heard the words, he smiled lightly. Lin Qiushi asked him what he was laughing at, and Ruan Nanzhu said, "This Meng Yu is interesting."

Lin Qiushi didn't understand why Ruan Nanzhu said that.

"What do you think will happen if everyone did the same wrong thing?" Ruan Nanzhu asked in a small voice.

"Dead?" Lin Qiushi said, "But doesn't that mean they won't all die?"

Ruan Nanzhu: "Yes, it's true that not all of them will die, but the monster can choose whoever it wants to kill, as long as the last one is left."

Lin Qiushi: "..."

Ruan Nanzhu: "So why did Meng Yu deliberately mislead everyone?"

Lin Qiushi fell into silence.

While the two were talking, the tour guide's voice came from outside, and she said, "Assemble, assemble, come out quickly, I'll only wait for you for 5 minutes."

Hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that there should be nothing wrong outside, so they walked slowly towards the outside of the temple.

The author has something to say: Falling in love and killing each other was randomly chosen by me, so don't take it to heart (the author vicissitudes of life

A digression to explain the door settings in detail.

Comparing the door to a grade test, it is divided into grades [-] to [-]. Ruan Nanzhu has passed the grade [-] exam, so it doesn't count when he comes back to take the grade [-] exam.Doors can be skipped levels. When certain conditions are met, several doors can be crossed. For example, Lin Qiushi rubbed Cheng Qianli's door and directly jumped two levels from the second-level door to the fifth-level door.

But the first door for newcomers is special, which is equivalent to a qualification exam. The closer to death, the more difficult the exam is. It may be someone else's fifth fan. After surviving, it will be recalculated, so the most accurate statement is that the second fan is actually the easiest, and it will become more and more difficult after that.

Except for the newcomers, the number of passers-by of other people in the door is relatively close, and there will not be too much difference, except of course those who rub the door.

Whether other people will come in with other clues is a foreshadowing, and you will know if you continue to read.

In the end, Lin Qiushi's cancer was already at an advanced stage, and it became an early stage after passing the first door.
