Kaleidoscope of Death

Lin Qiushi counted and made sure that the door he wanted to enter was indeed the fourth one. Then he walked to the door and stretched out his hand to open the iron door in front of him.

Then the scenery around him changed, the rooms around Lin Qiushi turned into low ancient buildings, and the carpet under his feet turned into a narrow bluestone road.

This was the first time Lin Qiushi entered the door alone. Without Ruan Nanzhu's protection, he felt a little more uneasy.But soon, this anxiety disappeared and became calm and indifferent. Lin Qiushi walked towards the front of the bluestone slab while looking around at the surrounding scenery.

This time the world inside the door seems to be a simple and unsophisticated small town, the surrounding buildings are all antique small buildings, and a beautiful red lantern is hung outside each small building.Now that the sky is dark, every red lantern emits a glint of light, illuminating the way people are moving forward.

The not-so-spacious street was empty, and there were many shops and a few residential buildings on both sides of the road. Lin Qiushi also saw majestic stone lions standing at the door of some shops.The plaques of these shops are written in traditional Chinese characters, Lin Qiushi secretly thought in his heart, this time the world inside the door, it will not be ancient or something...

He went all the way, and soon found where he should go.

The number of times of entering the door has increased, and Lin Qiushi has also gained experience. Basically, every time he first reaches the door, there will only be one path for people to choose.As long as you keep going along the road, you can reach a relatively spacious place, where there are usually people waiting, but this time Lin Qiushi seems to be the first to arrive.

Lin Qiushi walked into a compound with an open door.

The compound is very spacious, and the atrium is planted with lush vegetation, which seems to be full of life.

Lin Qiushi stood there and waited, not forgetting to take off the bracelet on his hand.

A few days ago, he had mailed the bracelet to the female high school student who issued the commission. Only after they both wore the bracelet at the same time could they enter the same door at the same time.

And if the commission can be successfully completed, the female student will return the bracelet to him.Of course, some people may be greedy and don’t want to return it, but everyone who posted a task has mortgaged some very important things on the website. There is also the possibility of being held accountable by the website, so not many people do this.

I don't know what that girl looks like, Lin Qiushi was thinking about it when he saw a person walking in the door.

When he saw that person, his expression froze for a moment.

It was a strong man about 1.8 meters tall, and he looked handsome. When he saw Lin Qiushi, he smiled brightly at him.

If it’s just like this, it’s fine, but on the body of the strong man, he was wearing a blue navel-baring dress, and a short white skirt underneath. When the skirt was blown by the wind, Lin Qiushi even suspected that he saw it. White panties under his skirt.

On the not-too-long hair of the strong man was an orange carrot hairpin.

Lin Qiushi looked at the strong man's attire and fell into a deep silence.Although he was very reluctant, he still remembered the clothes described to him by the client on the website.

"People will wear a blue navel-baring dress, a white skirt, and a carrot hairpin on their head." This is how a "high school girl" on the forum described herself, "At that time our secret code is, I Let’s talk about Pika Pika first, you say Pika Pika Chiu~~ okay~?”

Lin Qiushi thought this girl was cute at the time, but now...

Probably the strong man also recognized his attire, so he walked up to him and said in that rough and deep voice, "Pika Pika!"

Lin Qiushi: "..." He even felt his body shaking when he heard the phrase "pikapika".

"Pika Picka!" The strong man repeated again, his accent was a bit northeastern, so he looked more manly - if he wasn't wearing this suit, he would really be a good man.

Lin Qiushi heard himself utter a sentence with difficulty: "Pika, Pika, Chirp..."

"Big Brother!" The strong man slapped Lin Qiushi on the shoulder and said happily, "My name is Gu Longming! How about you?"

Lin Qiushi: "My name is Yu Linlin...you..."

Gu Longming probably also knew that Lin Qiushi was obviously hit badly because of his appearance, so he quickly explained, "I'm really a high school student, although I'm not a girl!"

Lin Qiushi: "...you have been repeated for more than ten years?"

Gu Longming laughed out loud when he heard the words, and the laughter was full of anger. He reached out and took the hairpin from his head, and said, "I was afraid that you wouldn't recognize me, so I bought such a set of clothes on purpose. Fortunately, you recognized me."

Lin Qiushi was in a bit of pain, thinking that if he often encountered such a person, it would be no wonder that Ruan Nanzhu's misidentification of customers had become commonplace, and he did not want to be a partner with such a "female high school student" at all.

Speaking of Ruan Nanzhu, Lin Qiushi remembered Ruan Nanzhu's subtle expression when he told Ruan Nanzhu that he had accepted the commission. It seems that he had expected today...all wearing women's clothes, why is the difference so small? big.Lin Qiushi couldn't help but miss Zhu Meng and Ruan Baijie.

"How many times have you entered here?" Gu Longming obviously has a very cheerful personality. He casually found a stone beside him and sat down, and said, "This is really the fourth time for me. Every time I steal him Damn horror."

Lin Qiushi: "...you pay attention."

Gu Longming: "Ah? What are you paying attention to?"

Lin Qiushi: "Pay attention to your sitting posture."

Seeing Gu Longming's legs spread apart, the white underwear under the short skirt can be seen at a glance... and the subtle bulge, Lin Qiushi felt that his eyes were going to be blind.

"What's the matter?" Gu Longming didn't care at all, "Don't you have everything I have? There's nothing to see!"

Lin Qiushi: "..." Damn—he almost couldn't hold back his swear words.

But even though he said so, Gu Longming still closed his legs.

Before anyone else came, Lin Qiushi told Gu Longming the clue of the door.

Gu Longming was at a loss after listening to it, and said, "What a crying man, I've never heard of it."

Just as Lin Qiushi was about to explain to Gu Longming, two people walked in from outside the yard, a man and a woman. Judging from the attitude of the two, they should also know each other.

They were still talking, but when they saw Gu Longming sitting in the middle of the yard, they were stunned.

Gu Longming's tolerance was obviously very strong, and he didn't show any discomfort at all about this strange situation, and even greeted the two of them with a smile.

The woman turned her face to the man and said something. Although the voice was very low, Lin Qiushi still heard it.

She said: "This should be a psychological barrier, don't discriminate against others..."

The man quickly looked away and nodded. From his expression, Lin Qiushi seemed to see what he looked like just now. It would be fine if he was transsexual. Gu Longming's appearance was obviously just to trick him into taking the job.

Lin Qiushi thought painfully, men are really big liars.

Seven or eight people came in one after another outside, including two newcomers who entered the door for the first time.

These two newcomers are both girls, and they have been crying in fright since they came in. Everyone comforted them and saw that they still didn't stop, so they gave up.After all, not everyone has such a strong tolerance, and usually for everyone, the first door is the most difficult, it is the real gate of hell.

Taking advantage of the time when people came, Lin Qiushi observed the situation in the yard again.

The yard was very large, and they stayed in the atrium, which was planted with dense ornamental plants. Lin Qiushi's keen hearing also caught the sound of gurgling water.The sound of water seemed to be coming from behind the building. Judging from the sound, it was at least a big river.

There is also a quite large pond near the right side of the yard, but the light is too dark, and Lin Qiushi can't see clearly what is around the pond, so he just wants to understand it before looking at it.

The buildings in the yard were further inside, hidden among the short trees at this time, Lin Qiushi was observing, and saw a spark-like light appearing in the trees, slowly approaching them.

"You are here." The spark stopped not far from them, it was a woman with a red lantern, she was wearing a beautiful cheongsam, her long hair was fluttering, and her face was a little unclear, she said, "This way please."

Everyone followed her forward.

"There are still seven days left for the River God Festival that you want to participate in." The woman walked in the front, swaying, very attractive, but at this time everyone didn't have the heart to think about anything else, "Just wait for a while. , it won't be too long... as long as seven days later, your wishes will be fulfilled."

She smiled, her pale face looked a little ghostly in the darkness: "This is where you live, if you need anything, you can call the servants, it's getting dark, go to rest early." After saying this , the woman turned around and slowly disappeared into the darkness.

"Let's divide into groups. There are usually only two or three people in one room. If there are too many people, accidents will happen." The person who spoke was a man in his thirties. Lin Qiushi remembered that his name seemed to be Yan Shihe.Seeing his sophisticated appearance, he doesn't seem like someone who entered the door for the fourth time. Lin Qiushi guessed in his heart that he might also bring someone through the door.

In an instant, the twelve-person team quickly divided into five groups. When Lin Qiushi came back to his senses, only Gu Longming was left smiling at him.

"Little brother, can we live together?" I have to say that it is not pleasant for a 1.8-meter-strong man in a short skirt to call you little brother. Gu Longming reached out and grabbed Lin Qiushi's arm, shyly She shook her head, "Is it okay, is it okay?"

Lin Qiushi said with difficulty: "Okay, okay, don't shake it, my hand hurts."

The others cast sympathetic glances at Lin Qiushi.

Gu Longming laughed, he was originally a subwoofer, but he pretended to be coquettish and it made people's scalp tingle: "It's really good~"

Lin Qiushi's expression was almost numb, he had never missed Ruan Nanzhu so much.

Although they are divided into six groups, there are actually more than six rooms for them to live in. There are at least twelve or thirteen rooms in the row in front of them.

However, Lin Qiushi randomly found two rooms to observe, and felt that there was no big difference between these rooms-at least he didn't find it so far.

It was getting late now, so he and Gu Longming randomly found a room near the middle to live in.

The style of the room is similar to that of the courtyard outside, full of antique flavor.But here comes the problem, there is only one bed in a room... Although the bed is quite big, but...

Lin Qiushi glanced at the "female high school student" beside him.

Gu Longming burst out laughing when Lin Qiushi looked at him, and said, "Okay, now that I've met you, I won't wear women's clothing tomorrow, don't look at me like that."

Lin Qiushi: "Isn't this your hobby?"

Gu Longming: "No." He said as he took off the navel-baring top, "But I feel pretty good after wearing it today, do you want to try it too?"

Lin Qiushi shook his head, he couldn't think about it, I have tried it, and I am not very happy, after all, I have to be a mute.

There is only one oil lamp for lighting in the room. Although this oil lamp is small, its brightness is quite high. It illuminates the whole room brightly. I don't know what kind of craftsmanship it is.

Lin Qiushi and Gu Longming lay on the bed, with Gu Longming sleeping inside and Lin Qiushi sleeping outside.

"Aren't you very powerful?" Gu Longming covered the quilt with a pair of dark eyes exposed outside the quilt, staring at Lin Qiushi eagerly, "You have to protect me."

Lin Qiushi lay on the bed and looked at the ceiling: "But I just want to protect the female high school students."

Gu Longming: "Then I will still wear it tomorrow..."

Lin Qiushi; "..." He was quiet for a moment, resigned to his fate, "Well, actually, I think you also need protection." Although you are taller and stronger than me, who told you that you have a fragile heart? heart.

The two closed their eyes, and Lin Qiushi soon fell asleep.

In the middle of the night, Lin Qiushi, who was sleeping in a daze, heard the sound of clappers being beaten, and someone shouted outside, it was midnight, be careful of candles.

The sound moved from far to near, and then gradually faded away. Just when Lin Qiushi was about to fall asleep again, he vaguely heard the cry of a child. At first Lin Qiushi thought it was a cat meowing because it was too thin and small, but he With his keen hearing, he quickly noticed something was wrong—the sound was coming from their house.

When he realized this, Lin Qiushi was completely out of sleep. He opened his eyes and saw Gu Longming's rough sleeping face. This guy was in a deep sleep. Obviously, he didn't hear any movement in the room. .

Lin Qiushi sat up from the bed, he looked around, and quickly found the place where he was crying—it turned out to be the bag he was carrying.

Lin Qiushi hesitated for a while, picked up his phone and turned on the flashlight mode, got up and walked to his bag.

When he entered the door, he was carrying a black travel bag, which had a large capacity and contained some changes of clothes, necessary daily necessities, and a small amount of emergency food.

Lin Qiushi opened the bag a little, and soon found something crying.What was crying in the bag turned out to be the skeleton of the baby he brought out from the Wilfried Hill Nursing Home that time.When he came in, he put the baby's bones in a wooden box, and at this moment, Lin Qiushi was sure that the crying came from the wooden box.

After hesitating for a while, he took the wooden box out of the bag, and heard the soft cry of the baby from inside the wooden box. This cry was like the cry of a kitten, full of sorrow.

Why did Yingke suddenly cry? Lin Qiushi held the wooden box and remembered Ruan Nanzhu's words. These things brought out from the door are very important and will save lives at critical moments. Crying, is it to remind myself of something?

Lin Qiushi thought so, he took the wooden box and walked around the room, and soon found something strange—as long as it was closer to the door, the baby's cry would be quieter, and it seemed to be repelling the room!

Lin Qiushi's heart trembled, and he hurried to the bedside and called Gu Long up.

"What's wrong?" Gu Longming opened his eyes in a daze.

"Get up, let's change houses." Lin Qiushi said, "Hurry up!"

Gu Longming woke up instantly. He sat up and said, "Is there a problem with this house?" He also heard the cry of the child, and his eyes fell on the box in Lin Qiushi's hand, with a terrified expression: "What is this crying—— "

Lin Qiushi said: "Don't ask, hurry up."

Gu Longming groaned, didn't struggle anymore, and put on his navel jacket and short skirt in a panic.

Lin Qiushi: "..." He began to regret letting Gu Longming wear clothes.

After the two left the room, the baby skeleton in Lin Qiushi's hand really stopped crying.

Gu Longming said: "Then where are we going...it's so late..."

Lin Qiushi didn't speak, and walked around the corridor with the wooden box, and found that Yingke only responded to a few fixed rooms. It was getting late at this time, and it must be very dangerous to wander outside.Lin Qiushi chose a room where the baby didn't cry after entering and lived in it.

"Can I sleep?" Gu Longming lay on the bed and looked at Lin Qiushi eagerly.

Lin Qiushi said: "Sleep."

Gu Longming groaned, fell asleep, and in less than 3 minutes, the sound of even breathing came from around him.

Lin Qiushi really admired this kind of person who sleeps as soon as he says he wants to sleep. He sighed and closed his eyes reluctantly.In the second half of the night, Lin Qiushi was in a state of half asleep and half awake. He had something on his mind and didn't dare to sleep too much.The previous door was guarded by Ruan Nanzhu, but this door was not. Lin Qiushi could only rely on himself, so even though he was prepared, he still felt a little uneasy.

Fortunately, nothing happened until the next day.

Twelve people appeared in the hall of the main house on time, and a rich and steaming breakfast was served in the hall.

Gu Longming, who had successfully recognized his relative, finally gave up his short skirt and put on normal clothes.I have to say that he has a good foundation, and he looks quite handsome after changing into normal clothes. With his good figure, he should attract the attention of little girls.But it's impossible to attract attention here, after all, everyone deeply remembers the terrifying appearance of this guy in a short skirt and acting like a baby.

The breakfast tasted pretty good, anyway, Gu Longming liked it a lot, he ate five or six fist-sized steamed buns, drank two bowls of porridge, and ate two salted duck eggs, looking very happy.

Compared with other people who couldn't eat and looked sad, he seemed to be here for tourism.

Lin Qiushi really admires this kind of rough-natured person.

After he simply finished his meal, he casually found an excuse to go out for a walk, especially the rooms where Yingke was crying last night.

These houses don't seem to be anything special, but Lin Qiushi still found something strange - there are a few small holes in the window paper in the house.

These holes are very small, and the location is very low. I don't know when and how they were made.

But other than that, there doesn't seem to be anything special about it.

Lin Qiushi was thinking about this, but saw a few servants in the yard walking towards the outside with a few big fiery red lanterns in their hands.

He thought for a while, stepped forward and asked where they were going.

The servants replied that the River God Festival was coming, and the streets needed to be decorated, and such red lanterns had to be hung at the door of every house.

Lin Qiushi said: "The River God Festival? What kind of festival is it?"

"It's a festival to celebrate He Bo's birthday." The servants answered quite well, "It's a very important festival in our town."

When they first came, the woman also mentioned the River God Festival. If you want to come to this River God Festival, it should have an important connection with the key.

Lin Qiushi was thinking about this when someone patted his shoulder. He turned his head and saw Gu Longming leaning his head over, and said, "How is it, Lin Lin, do you have any clues?"

Lin Qiushi said, "No."

Gu Longming said regretfully: "Well, this is only the first day, don't worry."

Lin Qiushi said: "I'm not in a hurry." Anyway, it's useless to be anxious, but to torture yourself.

Gu Longming said: "By the way, do you feel that something is wrong?"

Lin Qiushi said, "What's wrong?"

Gu Longming said: "It's... the Feng Shui structure of this house."

Lin Qiushi didn't understand Fengshui, but seeing what Gu Longming said, it seemed that he knew something, Lin Qiushi asked, "How do you say it?"

Gu Longming said: "Usually houses face south. Even if they don't face south, they will try their best to choose a sunny direction. But this house is different."

Lin Qiushi continued to listen.

Gu Longming pointed to the direction of the sun: "This house faces north and the doors and windows face the shade. Also, I just found out..."

Lin Qiushi: "Huh?"

Gu Longming said: "The directions of some important ornaments in this house are completely opposite to those in the Yang Zhai."

Lin Qiushi vaguely understood Gu Longming's meaning: "So you mean... this house is not a Yangzhai?"

"Yes." Gu Longming nodded and said, "Yes, under normal circumstances, only the yin house would do this." The yin house is a house for the dead.

Lin Qiushi's expression sank.
