Kaleidoscope of Death

Ruan Nanzhu saw the dull expression on Lin Qiushi's face, and said, "Why, you don't even want to kiss?"

Lin Qiushi showed helplessness: "Zhu Meng, stop making trouble..."

Ruan Nanzhu came over: "I didn't make trouble, I was very serious."

Lin Qiushi looked into his eyes, and after making sure that he was really not joking, he lowered his head, brushed up his hair, and pressed a serious kiss on his forehead.This kiss had nothing to do with lust, as if he was facing his unreasonable sister.

"Okay?" Lin Qiushi asked after the kiss.

Ruan Nanzhu was silent for a moment after being kissed, and then sighed faintly, but he didn't say anything, but waved to Lin Qiushi, motioning him to come over.

Lin Qiushi thought that he was going to tell him the answer, so he lowered his head obediently. Who knew that Ruan Nanzhu pressed the back of his head, and their lips touched like this.

Lin Qiushi: "????"

Ruan Nanzhu tasted what he wanted, and smiled contentedly: "That's right."

Lin Qiushi: "You—"

Ruan Nanzhu: "What's wrong with me?" The corners of his eyes curled up, "Do you want to try again?"

Lin Qiushi: "Forget it." At this moment, he finally discovered that Ruan Nanzhu was deliberately teasing him. This person is obviously quite normal in the outside world. Why does he feel that his painting style has changed when he enters the door? .Lin Qiushi gave up looking for the answer, and sadly stuffed a steamed bun into his mouth.

What exactly Ruan Nanzhu and Meng Yu said has become a mystery, and he has no intention of deciphering it.After seeing Lin Qiushi's end, Cheng Qianli had the cheek to ask, who knew that Ruan Nanzhu squinted at him and said, "Why, you want to kiss me too? I'm not interested in children."

Cheng Qianli: "If you want..."

Ruan Nanzhu: "I think you are Pikachu's brother, itching."

Cheng Qianli froze instantly.

They were talking, and the tour guide just came. She stood in an open place not far away and waved the small flag in her hand, calling out to everyone, gather, gather.

The people in the team came to the tour guide one after another, and the tour guide counted the number of people in a circle: "There are twelve people, we can set off!"

As soon as the number twelve came out, there were whispers in the crowd, and those who had misunderstood this sentence finally understood the meaning.

"How could there be twelve??" Someone said in a trembling voice, "Could it be that some of us are not human?"

"It should be. Npcs generally don't lie, so who is that ghost hiding inside us..." The noisy voice became louder and louder, and suspicion spread among the crowd like a plague.The already tense atmosphere became even more tense because of the tour guide's short sentence, which even made people feel a little suffocated.

The thirteen of them are usually divided into two or three teams. Now the two-person team started looking for new partners, and wanted to ensure that there were at least two people around them.

Lin Qiushi and the others always walked together as four, so it didn't affect much.

"Is there really a ghost among us?" Xu Jin trembled, her face was as white as a rabbit, she swallowed, carefully moved her eyes to Ruan Nanzhu, and stayed there...

"What?" Ruan Nanzhu noticed Xu Jin's gaze, and he walked to Xu Jin's side, with a half-smile: "You think I'm more like a ghost?"

Xu Jin: "No, nothing!"

Ruan Nanzhu turned to look at Lin Qiushi: "Lin Lin, she said he looks like a ghost."

Lin Qiushi: "..." Boss, you are playing again, right?

Xu Jin quickly explained, saying: "Zhu Meng, don't get me wrong, I didn't mention you, but you are the most beautiful among all of them..."

Ruan Nanzhu: "Oh, that's it."

Xu Jin nodded quickly.

Ruan Nanzhu: "Lin Lin, who do you think is the most beautiful?"

Lin Qiushi was really in pain. As a man with a normal orientation, he really didn't want to admit that Ruan Nanzhu, a cute girl, was the cutest among the dozen or so people. It's really difficult to control the appearance of Lin Qiushi, so Lin Qiushi nodded in a hopeless manner.

"Thank you, sister Xu Jin." Ruan Nanzhu smiled with satisfaction.

Xu Jin had a look of pain on her face. Obviously, in her eyes, the possibility of Ruan Nanzhu being a ghost is extremely high, otherwise, whoever enters this world still has the desire to fall in love, and is still in two boats...

Of course, she didn't dare to say these words, she could only think silently.

The place I went to today is the tower group.

After a long journey, everyone arrived at their destination.Because of the experience of the previous two days, everyone arrived at the destination in a much better condition today, and everyone did not hide in the tower, but began to search for more clues.

Although he knew that there was a non-existent person in the team, Ruan Nanzhu seemed very leisurely. He circled the tallest tower, then suddenly took out a sharp tool and pointed it at the wall on the tower. Brick started to move his hands.

Lin Qiushi was taken aback by his actions, and said, "What are you doing?"

Ruan Nanzhu: "I want to see if there is anything in the tower."

Lin Qiushi: "Something?"

Ruan Nanzhu turned his head: "Didn't you say that you heard someone scratching the wall?"

Lin Qiushi: "Then what if it's my illusion..."

Ruan Nanzhu calmly said, "It's okay, I trust your ears more than you do."

Lin Qiushi: "..."

Ruan Nanzhu was knocking on the wall with his head down, but Xu Jin beside him carefully tore Lin Qiushi's clothes: "I want to go to the bathroom, can you go with me?"

Lin Qiushi was taken aback: "Me?"

Xu Jin nodded.

Lin Qiushi: "I...it's not suitable, why don't I let Zhu Meng accompany you..."

He only spoke halfway, and then saw Xu Jin shaking her head frantically, she glanced at Zhu Meng cautiously, and lowered her voice on purpose: "Brother Lin Lin, I have something I want to tell you."

Seeing her expression, Lin Qiushi hesitated a little: "Is there anything I can't say here?"

Xu Jin's voice was inaudible: "Don't you think... Zhu Meng is special... not human?"

Lin Qiushi: "..."

Xu Jin: "Whether it's appearance or character, how can there be a girl like her with such courage..."

Lin Qiushi agreed with this, there is no girl like Zhu Meng, so she is not her, but him.

Xu Jin: "Don't you think so?"

Lin Qiushi showed embarrassment. In fact, he could understand Xu Jin to a certain extent, because Ruan Nanzhu was indeed very suspicious, but they had known each other for so long. Ruan Nanzhu and Cheng Qianli were the only two in this team that he could be sure of. identity of two people.

"I... don't think so." Lin Qiushi could only give Xu Jin this answer, "Although he is very suspicious, he is indeed leading us to live hard. If he is a ghost, what is his appeal?"

Xu Jin seemed a little embarrassed when she heard the words, her lips moved a little, but she didn't say anything, but seeing her unwillingness, it was obvious that she continued to insist on her answer.Lin Qiushi had no choice but to comfort her in a low voice.

They were talking here, but Ruan Nanzhu's side was also effective. He actually knocked off a piece of wall brick by the side of the tower, exposing the core inside.

Cheng Qianli has been watching from the side. When Ruan Nanzhu knocked the wall bricks open, he gasped and cursed.

"What's the matter?" Lin Qiushi heard the voice and walked a few steps in the direction of Cheng Qianli, and also saw what Ruan Nanzhu pulled out from the wall.

I saw that the cement behind the wall bricks was actually densely inlaid with human skeletons. These skeletons were piled up one after another, but at least three or four people's bones could be seen within a square inch.

"Hmm..." Ruan Nanzhu was not surprised when he saw this scene, "I just said there must be something in the wall."

Lin Qiushi remembered the scratching sound he heard in the wall, and his face turned pale.

Xu Jin even hid behind trembling, crying in fright.

"Okay, now I know what's inside the tower." Ruan Nanzhu stood up and patted the ashes on his hands, "What did you two just say?"

"It's nothing." Lin Qiushi glanced at Xu Jin, "It's a small matter."

"Oh, it's a small matter." Ruan Nanzhu looked at Xu Jin thoughtfully, got up and walked to her side, reached out and pressed Xu Jin's back, "Xu Jin, what are you afraid of?"

Xu Jin was shaking like a sieve.

"Are you afraid of me?" Ruan Nanzhu put on a subtle smile on his face. This smile is hard to describe in words. Although it is not ugly, it is really the kind of expression that children would have nightmares when they see it. "What's so scary about me?" Xu Jin just shook her head, not daring to speak at all.

Lin Qiushi didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Stop teasing her."

Ruan Nanzhu spread his hands, pretending to be helpless, "Okay, okay, don't be funny." He got up and went to the side of the tower, and continued to study the bones.

Xu Jin somehow slowed down, she quietly glanced at Ruan Nanzhu, and wiped away her tears aggrieved.

Lin Qiushi: "..." Is Ruan Nanzhu so scary? It scares the little girl like this.

"This tower uses the bones of at least a thousand people." Ruan Nanzhu said, "If the bones of that person's sister are here..."

"Then how to make it?" Cheng Qianli stared at the densely packed bones, "Even if we are all dead, this person will not be found."

"Yeah." Ruan Nanzhu said, "So there are other ways."

Cheng Qianli scratched his scalp: "What method?"

Ruan Nanzhu's eyes flickered, and Cheng Qianli's back tightened when he saw it. Sure enough, he stretched out his hand to Cheng Qianli: "Where's the bone flute you secretly picked up yesterday?"

Cheng Qianli: "Damn it! Don't you think so!"

Ruan Nanzhu: "Yes."

Cheng Qianli's expression was instantly filled with panic, and he said, "Are you really going to do this? It's a human leg bone, and it's not certain that blowing it out will have any effect..."

"It's because I don't have to try it." Ruan Nanzhu said, "Bring it."

Cheng Qianli silently took out the bone flute from his pocket and handed it to Ruan Nanzhu.

Ruan Nanzhu held the flute and observed it carefully, then put the flute to his lips naturally, opened his mouth to breathe, and the sound of the flute came out of his mouth.

He played the tune of sister's drum, which was melodious and melodious, but inexplicably tinged with a strange desolation.

"Crack..." There was a slight sound coming from Lin Qiushi's side, Lin Qiushi was stunned for a moment, and found that the source of the sound turned out to be the tower beside him.The sound of someone scratching in the wall became more and more obvious. At first, he was the only one who could hear it. Later, Cheng Qianli and Xu Jin also heard the sound, and their faces changed.

"Zhu Meng, don't brag, it seems that something happened." Lin Qiushi stopped Ruan Nanzhu.

Ruan Nanzhu stopped his movements and looked towards the top of the tower, but saw that the circle hanging on the top of the tower suddenly began to shake slightly...

"Let's go further, this tower seems to be collapsing!" Ruan Nanzhu said, then turned and left.

Lin Qiushi and the others followed closely behind Ruan Nanzhu.

Others also noticed the abnormality here, and began to disperse to the side. Not long after everyone dispersed, the tower made a loud noise and fell to the ground, revealing countless bones inside.

However, what made everyone suffocated was that the bones began to wriggle slowly. At first, the movement was very slow, and then the speed began to increase. Made of bones.

Everyone was stunned when they saw this scene, not only stunned, but also deeply terrified.

The drumbeat from nowhere began to sound again, and a young girl's voice followed the drumbeat and sang: "Om Om Mani Padme Moo, U Om Mani Padme Moo..."

This is not so much a singing, but more like reciting scriptures.

"We're not going to go into that tower, are we?" Xu Jin choked up.

"It seems to be like this." Ruan Nanzhu put down the bone flute, and rubbed his fingers lightly on it. His expression was a bit complicated, as if he remembered the background of this ballad.

The younger sister who loves her elder sister madly pursued her elder sister's footsteps. It wasn't until she heard the scriptures that she realized that the person she was chasing had become the drum in her arms.When she learned the truth, how did my sister accept this cruel truth?

"Let's go." Lin Qiushi's mood was unexpectedly calm.

"I'm not going, I'm not going." Xu Jin seemed terrified, and kept crying, "I don't want to go..."

As she spoke, she staggered and ran out behind her. When she ran out, she fell in embarrassment, and didn't even pick up the bag she was carrying when she dropped it on the ground.

"Xu Jin——" Lin Qiushi was about to go forward to catch up, but was stopped by Ruan Nanzhu directly. He said, "It's fine if she doesn't go, don't force it, anyway, as long as the door is open, anyone can go in."

Lin Qiushi sighed.

Cheng Qianli walked to the front, picked up Xu Jin's dropped bag, and said, "It's so light... Didn't she put two bottles of water in it? Why can't I feel it?" They will all be ready outside when they come out When it was time for lunch, Cheng Qianli saw Xu Jin stuff two bottles of water into her bag.They haven't been separated since they got here, and Cheng Qianli remembered that he didn't see Xu Jin drinking water.

"Open it and have a look." Ruan Nanzhu suddenly said.

"Is it okay to just open it like this?" Cheng Qianli was a little embarrassed, "It is her personal property after all."

Ruan Nanzhu: "My life is almost gone, you still talk about the right to privacy?"

It was the same reason, Cheng Qianli reached out and opened Xu Jin's bag.Xu Jin's bag is a milky white backpack, which seems to be made of sheepskin, and the style is very ordinary. She has been carrying it on her back since she arrived here, and occasionally holds some food and daily necessities.

After Cheng Qianli opened Xu Jin's bag, he saw that it was empty and there was nothing there. He was stunned for a moment: "There is nothing..."

Ruan Nanzhu: "Show me." He took the bag, checked it carefully, and found a page of old paper in the middle of the bag.

"What is this?" Cheng Qianli was stunned when he saw the paper, "This is..."

"Isn't this the diary we saw on the top of the tower?" Lin Qiushi immediately remembered, "Nan Zhu, do you still remember when you flipped through the diary and found that a page was torn out?"

"Yes, yes, yes!" Cheng Qianli was also blessed, "I remembered, it's the note that Ruan Nanzhu took away!"

Ruan Nanzhu listened to the conversation between the two, and unfolded the stack of papers.

I saw a picture printed on the paper, which showed a pair of twins holding hands. They were wearing long skirts, and there were satisfied smiles on their immature faces.There was nothing special about this painting, but after looking at it carefully, Lin Qiushi discovered that the two girls in the portrait looked exactly like Xu Jin.

Because of this, Lin Qiushi felt a chill rush from his back to his forehead: "When did she... tear off this portrait?"

"I don't know." Cheng Qianli said dryly, "She did not go to the top floor with us at that time."

At this time, Lin Qiushi recalled a detail. When he was on the top floor, in the illusion he saw, it was Xu Jin who walked up to the drum and rang it for the first time.

The weirdness that I hadn't noticed before also flooded into my mind one after another. As a newcomer who just entered this world, Xu Jin's performance was too good.Although he kept saying that he was afraid, he never did any wrong actions. Even sometimes, Lin Qiushi would forget that there was such a person beside him.

"So...she's not actually human?" Cheng Qianli swallowed.

Ruan Nanzhu: "It seems so."

"Then what if she finds out and we find out that she is not human?" Lin Qiushi looked at the paper.

Ruan Nanzhu folded the paper and put it back into the bag: "This matter is more complicated, and it can be divided into many situations. Let's talk about it in detail later." He looked up at the bone tower in front of him, "It's getting dark, let's first Go in and have a look."

"Yes." Lin Qiushi nodded.

When they walked inside, they saw Meng Yu standing at the door, he was alone, with a smile on his face, he saw them coming over and greeted them: "You are here."

"You want to go in together?" Ruan Nanzhu asked.

Meng Yu: "That's right, the key should be inside. It's always a bit uneasy to let others go." He said the words almost contemptuously, but he didn't seem obtrusive because of his powerful aura.

When Ruan Nanzhu heard this, he laughed: "Then we won't go, please ask Mr. Li Dongyuan to bring out the key."

Meng Yu's face changed slightly when he heard this: "How do you know my name——"

Ruan Nanzhu: "There's nothing I don't know about this." He raised his chin slightly, his expression indifferent and full of sarcasm, "Everyone knows that Bailu has received a big order, and the only one who can take care of it is Dong You, Mr. Yuan."

Li Dongyuan listened to Ruan Nanzhu's words, his eyes were full of strong interest, he looked Ruan Nanzhu up and down: "I have never heard of a girl like you, interesting, very interesting, when I go out, I must I want to have a good chat with you." He smiled, "After all, such an interesting girl is really rare."

After hearing this, Lin Qiushi thought to the side, yes, it is really interesting... Who has ever seen a girl thicker than himself.

After Li Dongyuan finished speaking, he actually turned around and entered the tower alone.

Seeing this, Lin Qiushi was surprised and said, "Is he alright by himself?"

Ruan Nanzhu seemed very indifferent, he said: "It's best if we can come out, we have nothing to lose if we don't come out, just wait."

So the three of them waited outside the tower, discussing about Xu Jin by the way.

I don't know if Xu Jin will come back, and what expression everyone should use to face her when they come back. Lin Qiushi also gently reminded Ruan Nanzhu not to moles Xu Jin.However, Ruan Nanzhu refused righteously, saying that he would not be molesting at this time, and waited for Xu Jin to really reveal his identity, so wouldn't he be even more incapable of molesting, this deal is really not worthwhile.

Lin Qiushi: "...is it so fun to tease the little girl?"

Ruan Nanzhu: "It's actually more fun to tease you."

Lin Qiushi: "..."

Seeing that the sky was about to darken, Li Dongyuan hadn't come out yet.

Lin Qiushi should have been worried, but seeing Ruan Nanzhu's appearance of an old god, he calmed down strangely.

Just 5 minutes before the agreed time between them and the tour guide, a strange sound finally came from inside the bone tower.

Creaking... like the sound of bones breaking, the entire tall bone tower began to disintegrate, and the bones scattered from the side.

At the entrance, a black figure appeared, Lin Qiushi took a closer look, it was Li Dongyuan.

But the most attractive thing is not Li Dongyuan, but the beautiful bronze key in Li Dongyuan's hand.

When the key appeared, Lin Qiushi felt relieved.

Li Dongyuan walked up to them with the key, and held out his hand: "Then it's up to you, Miss Zhu."

Ruan Nanzhu smiled brightly, and held the key in his hand: "It's a happy cooperation."

"It's a happy cooperation." Li Dongyuan said.

Lin Qiushi didn't expect him to hand over the key so easily, and he was slightly surprised, but Cheng Qianli seemed very calm, as if this kind of thing was very common.

When the appointed time came, the tour guide appeared in front of everyone on time. She waved a small flag and began to urge everyone to leave.At the same time, the sky began to gradually darken.

Lin Qiushi saw Xu Jin who was crying and ran away just now, Cheng Qianli handed her the bag, and she took it naturally, as if she didn't know what was in it.

"Did you really go into that tower?" Xu Jin asked in a low voice, "Did you find my sister's bones?"

"No." Ruan Nanzhu replied, "We didn't find anything."

"Oh." Xu Jin replied with a sense of loss. She seemed to have something to say, but when the words came to her lips, she swallowed them back abruptly.

Normally, Cheng Qianli would definitely ask her what she wanted to say, but after knowing that Xu Jin was not human, he always felt a little distance from her, and was afraid of asking questions that shouldn't be asked.

So everyone was silent all the way until they reached the residence.

The tour guide said the next day and then left as usual.Everyone had a simple dinner together, during which Lin Qiushi noticed that Xu Jin's eyes kept looking into Ruan Nanzhu's pocket.

There is only one special thing in Ruan Nanzhu's pocket, which is a bone flute made from his sister's leg bones.

Xu Jin seemed to have a strong interest in this thing.
