Kaleidoscope of Death

Tan Zaozao, who came to visit her, extended her cordial condolences to Ruan Nanzhu, although Ruan Nanzhu ignored her throughout the whole process.

"How did you go through the fourth door?" Lin Qiushi, who was sitting next to him and had nothing to do, asked her casually.

"The fourth door?" Tan Zaozao scratched her head, "It's okay..." She seemed unwilling to talk about the world inside the door, and quickly avoided the topic.

Lin Qiushi didn't continue to ask after seeing this.

On the TV hanging on the wall of the hospital, there will occasionally be a perfume advertisement of Tan Zaozao's performance, and she is noble and glamorous on the big screen.Lin Qiushi glanced at the advertisement, then at her who was huddled next to Ruan Nanzhu and buried her head in eating mangoes with yellow flesh all over her face, and fell into a subtle silence.

Tan Zaozao obviously guessed what Lin Qiushi was thinking from his expression, and said angrily, "Don't look, it's all fake!"

Lin Qiushi: "Well..."

Tan Zaozao looked at Lin Qiushi, and asked maliciously: "Do you have a celebrity you particularly like?"

Lin Qiushi said straightforwardly: "No." He doesn't chase stars.

Tan Zaozao said regretfully: "That's a pity, maybe I can help you get an autograph." Even more maybe I can reveal some gossip that ruins the Three Views...

They were chatting, but a sudden news was broadcast on the TV, saying that a certain celebrity was suddenly involved in a car accident on the way to a concert and died on the spot, and then broadcast a tragic scene of the car accident scene.

Tan Zaozao, who was still gnawing on the mango, had a blank expression for a moment, and she said, "He..."

Ruan Nanzhu, who was lying on the bed, said softly, "You know him?"

Tan Zaozao nodded.

She put down the mango in her hand, and said in a low voice: "This person seems to be the one who entered the door. We have filmed commercials together, but we don't have a close relationship..."

Lin Qiushi looked at Tan Zaozao, her mood was obviously depressed.

"Later he had some accidents." Tan Zaozao said, "During the concert, the lights above his head fell directly, but he was only slightly injured, and there were some accidents after that." She said slowly , "I was a little skeptical then..."

"Could it be just an accident?" Lin Qiushi frowned, "It doesn't have to be a door..."

"It should be the door." Tan Zaozao sighed, and his mood became obviously depressed. "I'm leaving first. You guys should take care of your illness."

Lin Qiushi looked at her and didn't know how to persuade her, so he could only let her leave in a hurry.

When Tan Zaozao left, Ruan Nanzhu's expression remained calm, Lin Qiushi said: "Is she okay?"

Ruan Nanzhu: "It's okay, it will be fine in two days."

Lin Qiushi felt that Tan Zaozao had always been optimistic, but he didn't expect that his mood suddenly collapsed... although he left here in a hurry before the collapse.

Facing Lin Qiushi's bewilderment, Ruan Nanzhu showed a bit of helplessness, and he said, "Have you ever liked anyone in particular?"

Lin Qiushi thought about it carefully, then shook his head slowly but surely: "No." He said, "My family relationship is weak, and in my impression... I really don't have anyone I particularly like."

From childhood to adulthood, there are only a handful of friends around him, and it is precisely because of this that he can leave the original city without nostalgia and come here to work.

"There will always be girls who like you." Ruan Nanzhu's tone was firm, "Could it be that you haven't been confessed before?" He didn't believe that Lin Qiushi's personality and appearance would not be popular with girls.

"I have been confessed before, but I refused." Lin Qiushi replied.

Ruan Nanzhu: "Why did you refuse?"

Lin Qiushi: "Because I can't give them what they want."

Ruan Nanzhu frowned: "How do you know you can't?"

Lin Qiushi was quiet for a while, and said softly, "I don't like them."

Ruan Nanzhu couldn't help but laugh, he said: "You are sober."

Lin Qiushi smiled and said, "We can't delay them, they are all good girls."

Lin Qiushi is indeed a warm person, as long as he meets someone who needs help, he will always try his best to help.But his kindness is not unlimited. To put it bluntly, he will never be generous to others, has a full understanding of his own strength, and will not ask others to do anything beyond his ability.

A person who is kind, intelligent, and able to assess the situation is always very attractive.

Ruan Nanzhu slowly closed his eyes, but what attracted him to Lin Qiushi was not limited to this.

Seeing Ruan Nanzhu close his eyes, Lin Qiushi thought he was tired.He stood up from Ruan Nanzhu's side, and left the ward lightly. When he went out, he saw Cheng Qianli coming back with washed lychees.

"Why did you come out?" Cheng Qianli asked.

"Don't go in." Lin Qiushi said, "He is resting, and Zao Zao has left."

Cheng Qianli: "Oh, what about the litchi?"

Lin Qiushi glanced at it: "Leave it alone, and bring it in after he wakes up, or you can eat it."

Cheng Qianli: "I still don't want to eat it. Brother Ruan seems to like eating lychees."

Lin Qiushi was suddenly a little curious when he heard the words: "What else does he like besides litchi?" He and Ruan Nanzhu have also lived together for a while, but they don't know what he likes very well.

Cheng Qianli said: "What do you like? There are quite a lot of things you like." He looked at Lizhi, then at Lin Qiushi, "I seem to like you too."

Lin Qiushi: "Does he not like you?"

Cheng Qianli smiled stupidly: "Hey hey, that's right, I'm so cute."

Lin Qiushi thought to himself that you are really shameless.

During the period of Ruan Nanzhu's cultivation, many people from other organizations came to visit.It is said to be a visit, but in fact it is more to inquire about news. After all, it is rare to see a big boss like Ruan Nanzhu who has passed through ten doors.

Li Dongyuan of Bailu also came with a cheeky face. Although Ruan Nanzhu agreed with him to enter the ward, he didn't show him a good face during the whole process.

Lin Qiushi was sitting beside Ruan Nanzhu peeling the lychees to eat. Ruan Nanzhu opened his mouth slightly, and the milky white soft flesh was sucked into his light-colored lips. After chewing carefully, his mouth opened, and Lin Qiushi passed the fruit plate over. The tongue pushed out the black fruit core.

The whole process of eating was actually very elegant. Seeing Ruan Nanzhu's appearance, Lin Qiushi suddenly understood Tan Zaozao's saying that beauties should eat lychees.

Li Dongyuan was sitting next to him, with a friendly smile on that doll's face, which was completely different from the one inside the door. He said, "Nan Zhu..."

Ruan Nanzhu squinted at him.

Li Dongyuan had no choice but to change his words: "Brother Ruan, Brother Ruan, are you okay?"

Ruan Nanzhu: "Didn't you see it? Tell me something."

Li Dongyuan turned his head and glanced at Lin Qiushi.

Ruan Nanzhu knew what he meant, and closed his eyes: "Don't avoid him."

Li Dongyuan said: "I'm going to pass the ninth door soon, that's the one..."

Ruan Nanzhu: "No, get lost."

Li Dongyuan: "..."

Lin Qiushi wanted to laugh when he heard this, but felt that it was not appropriate to laugh, so he lowered his eyes and pretended that he was seriously peeling lychees.

"Don't be so fierce." Li Dongyuan felt aggrieved, "You pretend that I haven't bothered with you about Zhu Meng's relationship with me." His big eyes were watery, and Lin Qiushi looked at him inexplicably It reminds me of the corgi dog raised by Cheng Qianli...

However, Ruan Nanzhu's heart was as hard as iron, and he was unmoved at all. He didn't even show any surprise when Li Dongyuan revealed his identity: "Don't talk nonsense, talk about business."

Li Dongyuan said: "Didn't I hear that you still have a clue to the ninth door..."

Ruan Nanzhu smiled, "I heard?"

Li Dongyuan: "Fuck, I really heard about it, they are all spreading it."

When they talked here, Lin Qiushi suddenly remembered that Ruan Nanzhu had already passed through the tenth door. Could it be that he had already got the clue to the No.11 door?I don't know what the clues of the No.11 door are, and is there anything special compared to other doors.

"So?" Ruan Nanzhu looked at him.

"So, can you sell me the clue?" Li Dongyuan finally said his purpose for coming here today.

Ruan Nanzhu refused without hesitation: "Impossible."

Li Dongyuan: "You can bid whatever you want, as long as I can afford it—" The clue to the ninth door is so rare that even he didn't get it.

Only a lunatic like Ruan Nanzhu could get two.

Ruan Nanzhu ate a lychee that was fed to his mouth, but did not respond.

Seeing Ruan Nanzhu's attitude, Li Dongyuan seemed a little anxious. He said: "After thirteen days, it's my deadline to enter the house. I don't have that much time."

Ruan Nanzhu: "Aren't you very happy to pry my business? You also said that I serve people with sex." He laughed, but his eyes were cold, "Now you know, come to beg me?"

Li Dongyuan laughed awkwardly, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, or if I sleep with you for one night, you will forget about it a lot?"

Ruan Nanzhu pointed at the door: "Get lost."

Li Dongyuan showed an aggrieved expression.

Lin Qiushi thought to himself that you are a bit too much, if you want to get clues, let it go, and you want to take advantage of our boss, it is not unfair to be told to leave.

"It's not impossible to give you the clue of the ninth door." Ruan Nanzhu said, "But I have a condition."

Li Dongyuan: "What conditions?"

Ruan Nanzhu: "You have to accompany him into the tenth door."

Li Dongyuan was taken aback when he heard the words, and looked at Lin Qiushi: "Could you be..."

Ruan Nanzhu said: "Yes."

Li Dongyuan's expression changed drastically: "Are you crazy?!"

Ruan Nanzhu was already impatient: "Either agree or leave, don't waste my time here."

Li Dongyuan's face was uncertain, but finally he gritted his teeth and agreed, and followed Lin Qiushi into the tenth door.But looking at his expression, it seems that there is something else he wants to say, but he didn't say it because of Lin Qiushi's presence.

Lin Qiushi stood up at the right time, expressing that he wanted to wash his hands.

Ruan Nanzhu didn't stop him this time.

As a result, as soon as Lin Qiushi came back after washing his hands in the toilet, he heard Ruan Nanzhu arguing with Li Dongyuan. Li Dongyuan was not Ruan Nanzhu's opponent, and finally slammed the door out of anger, and glared at him when he saw Lin Qiushi.

Lin Qiushi was inexplicably stared at by him, and Li Dongyuan said: "Be careful yourself, Zhu Meng must be bigger than you when you take it out!"

Lin Qiushi: "..." I already know that he is older than me, so I don't need you to remind me, thank you.

When he entered the room, he saw Ruan Nanzhu sitting on the bed expressionlessly, and asked, "Why are you arguing?"

Ruan Nanzhu said: "Someone insists on pointing fingers at me." He said disdainfully, "Is he worthy?"

Lin Qiushi: "You are still sick, don't be angry." He asked gently, "What do you want to eat tonight?"

Ruan Nanzhu leaned against the bed: "Drink the porridge, the porridge you made."

Li Dongyuan left in anger, but Lin Qiushi didn't take it seriously. He thought that there would be many stories between Li Dongyuan and them, whether it was good or bad, but Lin Qiushi did not expect that that day was the last time he and Li Dongyuan met. one side.

Thirteen days later in the morning, Ruan Nanzhu, who had been discharged from the hospital, received a call. At that time, the people in the villa were having breakfast together. After he hung up the phone, his expression froze for a moment, and then he whispered: "Li Dongyuan is dead."

The people who were still talking suddenly quieted down, and everyone heard Ruan Nanzhu's words.

Cheng Qianli also stopped gnawing on the steamed stuffed bun, he let out an ah, and asked what everyone wanted to ask: "Brother Ruan, what are you talking about... Li Dongyuan, is that Li Dongyuan from Bailu?"

Ruan Nanzhu hummed and stood up: "I want to go there."

Lin Qiushi said: "I will accompany you." Although Ruan Nanzhu was discharged from the hospital, his body has not fully recovered, and now his face looks a little pale.He was worried that if something happened to Ruan Nanzhu outside, his body would not be able to hold on.

"Okay." Ruan Nanzhu agreed to follow Lin Qiushi.

Lin Qiushi quickly changed clothes, and got into the car with Ruan Nanzhu.

After Ruan Nanzhu said a location, he sat on the co-pilot and closed his eyes to rest his mind. His face was pale, and his long eyelashes were as black as crow feathers. At this time, he was trembling slightly, adding a bit of fragility.But this fragility seems to be just Lin Qiushi's illusion.

Is Ruan Nanzhu sad?No, Lin Qiushi felt that what was coming out of him was more of a kind of sadness of the death of a rabbit and a fox.Ruan Nanzhu hated Li Dongyuan, but he didn't want him to die like this, because seeing Li Dongyuan's end, he would inevitably think of themselves.

Lin Qiushi remembered the last time he met Li Dongyuan more than ten days ago, and he let out a long breath, as if he wanted to let out the breath that was pressing on his chest.

After a 10-minute drive, they arrived at an apartment in the city.

Lin Qiushi thought that Bailu lived in a certain house in the apartment, but when he arrived, he found out that this apartment was bought by Bailu.

At this time, there were many people around the apartment, and Lin Qiushi had a bad feeling when he saw it.Sure enough, after he parked the car, he moved closer to the crowd and saw something in the center of the crowd.

It was a body that had been smashed to pieces, its appearance could not be seen anymore, but from the clothes and appearance, it could be recognized that the person who fell to death in front of him was Li Dongyuan.

It wasn't the first time Lin Qiushi saw a dead person in reality, but it was the first time he saw a familiar person die like this.He turned his head sideways, looked at Ruan Nanzhu, and saw that he still maintained a flat expression, only those black eyes were rippling, like a disturbed deep lake.

The woman's cry sounded, and a teenage girl jumped out of the crowd. She knelt beside Li Dongyuan's body and wept loudly, and wanted to reach out to hold Li Dongyuan's broken body into her arms.

The people around stopped the girl's actions and forcibly pulled her away from Li Dongyuan's body.

Lin Qiushi looked around and found that some people were whispering, and some people had sad expressions and numb eyes, presumably they belonged to the members of Bailu.

A beautiful woman walked up to Ruan Nanzhu and whispered to him, "Mr. Ruan, hello."

"Hello, Miss Jin." Ruan Nanzhu said.

"You can call me by my name, Jin Yurui." The woman seemed to want to smile at Ruan Nanzhu, but she was extraordinarily stiff. She just curled the corners of her mouth abruptly, looking very reluctant, "Afterwards, I will Come and take over the internal affairs of Bailu."

The implication in the words is that she is the next leader of Bailu.

"Yeah." Ruan Nanzhu nodded, indicating that he knew, he was silent for a moment, and suddenly said: "If you don't want to laugh, don't laugh."

Jin Yurui's smile faded instantly, she took a deep breath, as if to control her emotions, and then said in a hoarse voice, "Please, Mr. Ruan."

Ruan Nanzhu nodded and walked towards the house, Lin Qiushi followed behind him.

There were a total of six people sitting or standing in the lobby of the apartment, plus those outside, there should be about 20 people in Bailu's entire organization.

Jin Yurui began to announce what Li Dongyuan had prepared before his death, and the whole process was very quiet.

But in this silence, Lin Qiushi felt the undercurrent surging.Some people in the crowd seemed dissatisfied with Jin Yurui as the successor, but their eyes fell on Ruan Nanzhu—they were actually afraid of Ruan Nanzhu, an outsider.

Lin Qiushi finally understood the meaning of Ruan Nanzhu's coming here. He came here to represent Li Dongyuan Town for the last time.

Jin Yurui became the next leader of Bailu, she has just passed the eighth door, and there is still some time before the ninth door.

But obviously, she couldn't convince everyone in Bailu like Li Dongyuan.

Ruan Nanzhu must have noticed it too, but he didn't intend to interfere with Bailu's affairs, and just sat beside him silently.

Seeing his pale face, Lin Qiushi thought that he might feel a little uncomfortable, so he was a little worried. After thinking about it, he took out a candy from his pocket and quietly stuffed it into Ruan Nanzhu.

Ruan Nanzhu looked back at him, nodded slightly, peeled off the candy wrapper, and slowly put it in his mouth.

The taste of candy was very sweet, diluting some uncomfortable feeling, Ruan Nanzhu sat in the hall for a long time, until Jin Yurui finished giving orders.

The people in the hall began to disperse, and finally only the three of them were left.

Jin Yurui raised her head and said with a wry smile: "Thank you, Mr. Ruan, if you weren't here, I wouldn't know what to do."

Ruan Nanzhu stood up and said, "I can only help you get here, and you have to walk the rest of the way."

Jin Yurui nodded, she was not a fragile dodder, although she was temporarily shaken in the face of wind and rain, she still had to stand in the storm by herself.

"Then let's take our leave first." Ruan Nanzhu said.

"Mr. Ruan, won't you stay for dinner?" Jin Yurui asked politely.

"No need." Ruan Nanzhu declined Jin Yurui's kindness, and said, "I'll come back when he's buried."

Jin Yurui didn't force her, she nodded, and sent Ruan Nanzhu and Lin Qiushi to the door.

Li Dongyuan's body has been packed up, and only a pool of dirty blood remains on the ground, telling the world what happened here.

And in a few days, the stains will disappear, people come and go in the White Deer, maybe they will soon forget that there used to be a leader named Li Dongyuan.

Along the way, Ruan Nanzhu's face was not very good-looking.

Lin Qiushi didn't realize something was wrong until he got into the cab on the way back. He said, "Nan Zhu, are the wounds on your body okay?" He smelled a faint smell of blood.At first Lin Qiushi thought the bloody smell was due to Li Dongyuan, but now Lin Qiushi can still smell it.

"It's okay." Ruan Nanzhu leaned against the car door.

Lin Qiushi didn't believe that he was fine at all, he frowned and said, "Show me."

Ruan Nanzhu said: "No."

Lin Qiushi was taken aback, he didn't expect Ruan Nanzhu to refuse so simply.

"Let's go back and talk about it." Ruan Nanzhu said, after he said this, he slowly closed his eyes, as if he was a little tired.

Lin Qiushi was worried, and couldn't help but drive the car faster.

A few ten minutes later, when they returned to the villa, Ruan Nanzhu opened his eyes tiredly. Lin Qiushi quickly helped him into the room. After seeing him lying on the bed, he sat on the edge of the bed very naturally, holding his hand. Ruan Nanzhu's clothes corner.

Ruan Nanzhu raised his eyes and looked at him: "What are you doing?"

Lin Qiushi said: "I want to see your back..." The wound on Ruan Nanzhu's back was the most serious.

Ruan Nanzhu tilted his head and glanced at Lin Qiushi: "Is it okay if you don't look at it?"

Lin Qiushi frowned: "No." He felt that Ruan Nanzhu's wound must have opened.

Ruan Nanzhu thought for a while: "Then give me a candy."

Lin Qiushi took out the candy from his pocket, peeled it off and stuffed it into Ruan Nanzhu's mouth.

"Look." Ruan Nanzhu said vaguely with sugar in his mouth, "Actually, there's nothing to see..."

Lin Qiushi lifted off Ruan Nanzhu's clothes, and as expected, he saw that the wound was split open, blood flowed down his back, and was finally absorbed by the clothes.

He frowned: "This can't work, I have to go to the hospital."

Ruan Nanzhu didn't move, and his breathing became even.

Lin Qiushi looked up and sighed: "Why are you pretending to be asleep?"

Ruan Nanzhu still didn't speak.

Lin Qiushi showed helplessness, so he could only get up and go to the side to get the gauze, and helped Ruan Nanzhu deal with the cracked place briefly, and said in his mouth: "I must go to the hospital tomorrow morning."

Ruan Nanzhu murmured vaguely, then closed his eyes again. He was indeed a little tired and wanted to take a good rest.
