Kaleidoscope of Death

It is impossible to practice false sound, and it is impossible to practice false sound in this life, and girls can't do it. It's just that the only way to survive is to insist that you are a boy.

Because of Ruan Nanzhu's question, Lin Qiushi was trembling for several days, fearing that he would suddenly ask him to go to the mall and buy two sets of skirts or something.

Fortunately, what Lin Qiushi was most worried about did not happen. One afternoon, after Ruan Nanzhu came back from the outside, he said to Lin Qiushi: "I have met them, and I have made an appointment to enter the door." When he said this, Ruan Nanzhu was wearing a long skirt with simple makeup on his face.It's just that this makeup didn't make his appearance more attractive, but deliberately downplayed his beauty, making him look very ordinary.To be honest, Lin Qiushi has to admire Ruan Nanzhu's makeup skills. He looks like this in the crowd, except for his special height, he is inconspicuous at all.

In order to conceal his height, Ruan Nanzhu deliberately made a posture of bending over and arching his back, making the whole person look full of a submissive, damp breath like a mushroom in the corner.

Of course, this kind of atmosphere changed immediately after returning to the villa. Lin Qiushi saw him coming in from the outside, and impatiently took off the wig on his head, threw it aside, and said, "You will go with me when the time comes."

Lin Qiushi: "Me too?"

Ruan Nanzhu: "Well, the door they entered should have no clues, so it will be a little troublesome." He said, "You and me."

Although Lin Qiushi really wanted to avenge Wu Qi himself, he was still worried: "Will they suspect..."

Ruan Nanzhu smiled but said, "As long as they enter the door, they can be as suspicious as they like." So what if they doubt, they can't come out directly from the door.

Lin Qiushi: "That's right." He struggled for a moment, then whispered, "Then I... don't need to wear women's clothing?"

Ruan Nanzhu raised his eyebrows and looked at him: "What's your opinion on women's clothing?"

Lin Qiushi: "Didn't I not learn false voice? If I wear women's clothes, I have to pretend to be dumb."

Ruan Nanzhu heard the words, and said directly: "Isn't the little dumb girl very cute?"

Lin Qiushi: "..." Is there something wrong with your aesthetics?

But in the end, Ruan Nanzhu didn't force Lin Qiushi anymore, and agreed that he would not wear women's clothes.The time to enter the door is one month later. According to Ruan Nanzhu's deduction, there is a high probability that the door they entered belongs to Cui Xueyi.Because judging from the performance of Wu Qi's girlfriend, she certainly can't be a veteran, and she won't pass through the very back door.In the early stage, the time intervals of the doors were relatively close, and a month later coincided with the opening time of the third door, and it was also stated that the time of entering the door was not very specific, which was completely consistent with Ruan Nanzhu's guess.

Before going to meet those people, Lin Qiushi also deliberately changed his appearance. This time it was Ruan Nanzhu who did it, using some professional special effects makeup tools.It completely changed Lin Qiushi's appearance.

Lin Qiushi looked at himself in the mirror, and said in a daze, "Nan Zhu, you are too powerful."

Ruan Nanzhu's tone was neutral: "If you want to survive, you should work harder."

In the afternoon, the two went to the appointment.

As Ruan Nanzhu guessed, he really saw Cui Xueyi among this group of people.

Cui Xueyi was stunned when he saw him, then looked at Ruan Nanzhu, and said, "Xiao Xiaoyu, what's the matter with you, why did you bring someone here?"—Ruan Nanzhu told them that the pseudonym was Xiao Xiaoyu.

Ruan Nanzhu murmured: "I, I am afraid alone, he is my boyfriend..." He said this, carefully glanced at Cui Xueyi, with a look of bullying, "If you don't agree, I will let you He's good to go back."

Cui Xueyi was about to speak, but the woman next to him patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Forget it, we can come together, but it's very dangerous inside, if there is one more person, we can't guarantee his safety, this you Have you figured it out?"

Lin Qiushi clenched Ruan Nanzhu's hand, and said in a firm tone: "You don't have to worry about me, I just want to protect Xiaoyu."

"Okay then." The woman said, "Since you've made up your mind, we won't stop you." She smiled and stretched out her hand to Lin Qiushi, and said, "My name is Lin Xingping, nice to meet you." Her attitude was generous, With an enthusiastic look, if Lin Qiushi didn't know what they did, I'm afraid he would have believed it.

"Oh, oh, thank you." Ruan Nanzhu hurriedly thanked you.

Before coming, Lin Qiushi and Ruan Nanzhu had discussed this matter, whether Cui Xueyi would allow Lin Qiushi to come in together.According to Ruan Nanzhu's analysis, they should be very reluctant to let other people know about it, because after all, there is a society ruled by law outside the door, and killing someone is very troublesome.So after seeing Lin Qiushi, a boyfriend who knew the situation, he would think of just getting rid of him inside the door.

But it doesn't matter if they disagree in the end, Ruan Nanzhu can probably clean them up by himself.

There are three people on Cui Xueyi's side, two men and one woman, and the remaining man is called Gu Yuansi, who should be the employer this time.

Gu Yuansi seemed anxious all the time when they were talking, even his eyes were wandering, and he didn't dare to look Ruan Nanzhu and Lin Qiushi squarely.

Lin Qiushi saw it and acted as if he hadn't noticed anything.

For the rest of the time, they stayed together.

Lin Xingping began to inquire about Lin Qiushi and Ruan Nanzhu intentionally or unintentionally. Although the questions she asked were relatively tactful, it was still easy to detect.

The questions that Lin Qiushi could answer changed, and the questions that Lin Qiushi could not answer casually confused.

Ruan Nanzhu has been sitting beside him, looking at Lin Qiushi with admiration, as if I love you so much.

Cui Xueyi saw the way the two got along, and there was a trace of disgust in his eyes, obviously feeling that the two people were sticky and uncomfortable.

Oh, I forgot to mention that the changed appearance of Lin Qiushi is indeed quite unsightly. In Cheng Qianli's words, it means that you can't eat at all looking at him, even Cheng Qianli can't eat, that's quite ugly.

Several people each have their own thoughts, quietly waiting for the arrival of the door.

At around ten o'clock in the evening, Lin Qiushi suddenly had a feeling that the expressions of the others changed slightly. Lin Xingping stood up and said, "Here we are."

She walked to the door and opened the door, only to see that the original corridor outside the hotel had turned into twelve dark iron doors.

Two of them were sealed, and the third door they were going to enter this time.

"Let's go." Lin Xingping saw them behind him.

Ruan Nanzhu and Lin Qiushi stood up, Ruan Nanzhu looked at Lin Qiushi and said pitifully, "Honey, I'm so scared."

Lin Qiushi cooperated with him in acting: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I'm here."

"Let's go." Cui Xueyi said, "With us here, nothing will happen to you." When he said this, he glanced at Gu Yuansi.

Gu Yuansi forced a smile.

As an employer, Gu Yuansi entered the door for the first time. After seeing the iron door, his whole body trembled violently. Although he tried to cover it up forcefully, it was a bit obvious.

Lin Qiushi and Ruan Nanzhu just pretended not to see it.

Lin Xingping walked in the front, stretched out her hand and opened the iron gate.

Lin Qiushi walked into the door, felt the picture distorted, and then felt the surrounding scene changed.

He stood on a stone-paved path, surrounded by low buildings full of Japanese flavor.It was raining heavily in the sky, and the rain was splashing on the eaves and the ground. Fortunately, Lin Qiushi was standing under the eaves at this time, otherwise his whole body would be wet.

The surrounding houses were closed, Lin Qiushi continued to move forward, and soon saw an open door.

He walked into the gate and saw several people were already waiting in the corridor.

Because he remembered the clothes of other people before, he soon found Ruan Nanzhu in the corner.

Ruan Nanzhu's body inside the door looked a little thin.Because in fact, the injury he suffered in the ninth door last time has not healed, and this unhealed injury is very obvious inside the door-Ruan Nanzhu looks very thin.

He was wearing a light-colored skirt, sitting in a corner, like a dandelion that would be blown away by the wind at any time.

Lin Qiushi walked up to him and said, "My name is Yu Linlin."

"My name is Zhu Meng." Ruan Nanzhu said, "Hello."

"Hello." Lin Qiushi said beside him, "How many times did you enter the door?"

"It's my second time." Ruan Nanzhu was talking to him, and two people walked in from outside the door. Judging from their clothes, they were Lin Xingping and Cui Xueyi outside the door.After the two of them entered the door, they also saw Lin Qiushi and Ruan Nanzhu, so they pretended to walk towards this side inadvertently.

Of course, they didn't dare to be particularly obvious, and stopped when they walked a little far away from them.

Seeing this, Lin Qiushi began to observe the surrounding environment.

This is a Japanese-style yard with tall walls next to it, and a huge cherry blossom tree planted in the yard.The cherry blossoms should be in full bloom, but because of the heavy rain, all the cherry blossoms were knocked down and scattered messily in the black soil.

The wind made the wind chimes hanging in the corridor jingle, but the sound of the bells was covered by the sound of rain.

This door was the second door that Lin Qiushi passed without a clue. In fact, it was the first door in a real sense, because Ruan Nanzhu, who had clues, was still by his side at that time.

"Are you afraid?" Ruan Nanzhu suddenly leaned into Lin Qiushi's ear and whispered.

Lin Qiushi glanced at him and shook his head.

"I knew you weren't afraid." Ruan Nanzhu sighed lowly, "To be honest, I still miss your immature look at the first door."

At that time, Lin Qiushi would at least show a terrified expression, where he was so calm as now.

The two were biting their ears, but there was a terrified cry from the door, and a man staggered in from the door, shouting: "Where is this? Where is this, who are you all!!"

To be honest, Lin Qiushi hasn't seen the newcomer inside the door for a while.

The man was crying, Lin Xingping suddenly stepped forward and said, "Friend, don't get too emotional, this is the world inside the door."

"The world inside the door? What does the world inside the door mean?" The man looked blank.

"People who are about to die will enter the door." Lin Xingping said with a smile, "This is the new life that the door bestows on us."

The man looked blank, and asked a lot of questions inside the door.

And Lin Xingping answered them all patiently.

Looking at the conversation between the two, Lin Qiushi inexplicably remembered the first time he entered the door.

At that time, there seemed to be such a person named Xiong Qi who answered his questions with a very good attitude and was even willing to share important clues with him, but Ruan Nanzhu's attitude towards that person was always very strange. Now that I think about it, the picture in front of me is really impressive Feel a little familiar.

But whether Xiong Qi is a good person or not, Ruan Nanzhu never told him.

People who enter the door for the first time are naturally full of fear, and it is easy to gain the trust of newcomers by providing some kindness at this time.

Others would think that the trust of newcomers is not important, after all, everyone doesn't know each other outside the door, but Lin Xingping and the others are different. What they need is such a flustered and ignorant first-timer.

The rain continued, and the people in the yard arrived one after another.

An old man in a kimono appeared outside the yard, holding an umbrella, and walked to the center of the yard.

The discussion of the crowd quieted down, and they looked at the old man.

The old man said: "Everyone is welcome to come here to play." His voice was very soft, full of a sense of weakness, but it was not concealed by the pouring rain.

"This yard is where everyone lives, and there are other scenery in the town, everyone can go and have a look." The old man spoke very slowly, "But it often rains here, so when you go out...you must bring an umbrella. Enter Before entering the house, remember to clean your body, otherwise, you will get sick."

Lin Qiushi firmly remembered every word of the old man.

In fact, the first NPC they encounter after entering the door usually gives them the most important clues.After the old man said these words, he began to arrange the room.

There were fourteen people who came in this time, two of them were newcomers, one was relatively calm, and the other was almost emotionally broken. The one who was emotionally broken was the one who was lured by Lin Xingping, and his name was Wang Ronghua.

He was about to cry when he entered the door, but under Lin Xingping's comfort, he managed to stabilize his mood. Of course, at the same time, he also developed a deep trust in Lin Xingping.

"So you believe it?" Ruan Nanzhu looked very disdainful at that person.

Lin Qiushi said: "It's understandable, after all, everyone has a fledgling plot."

Ruan Nanzhu glanced at Lin Qiushi when he heard the words: "Then why don't you?"

Lin Qiushi: "..." Wait, why did it involve him.

Ruan Nanzhu: "I'm not good-looking enough?"

Lin Qiushi could only bite the bullet and explain: "Actually, I have..."

Ruan Nanzhu was suspicious: "Really?"

Lin Qiushi: "Really, really." He quickly changed the topic, "It's time to divide the room."

The room here is for two people, Lin Qiushi and Ruan Nanzhu are naturally divided together, Lin Xingping is in the same room as Gu Yuansi, and Cui Xueyi is with the newcomer Lin Xingping likes.

Others also formed their own teams, planning to go back to their room to rest as soon as possible.

When they came here, it was still early, but after such a delay, it was completely dark.In addition, it was raining outside, so it was very dark soon.

Lin Qiushi entered the room and turned on the light.

The lights in the room were very dim and barely functioned as illumination.

The bed he slept on was a very ordinary tatami mat. After Lin Qiushi washed, he lay down on it.

Ruan Nanzhu was lying beside Lin Qiushi. His body seemed to shrink after entering the door. He huddled in a small group on the tatami, looking inexplicably cute.

He who looked like this was completely different from Ruan Nanzhu who was cold and self-sufficient outside the door. Lin Qiushi looked at him sideways for a long time.

Ruan Nanzhu noticed Lin Qiushi's gaze and said, "Do you like to look at me so much?"

Lin Qiushi suddenly remembered what Gu Longming said to him at the last door, he blinked and said, "Did you not sleep well before?"

Ruan Nanzhu: "That's right." He admitted it frankly, "I basically can't sleep inside the door."

Lin Qiushi: "...I thought I was the only one who couldn't fall asleep."

Ruan Nanzhu: "Isn't your sleep quality pretty good when you usually sleep with me?"

Lin Qiushi fell silent.

Ruan Nanzhu stood up, pushed his tatami next to Lin Qiushi, and said, "So let's sleep together."

Lin Qiushi acquiesced.

It was raining outside, Ruan Nanzhu leaned on Lin Qiushi's shoulder, and his breathing gradually became even.

Lin Qiushi also closed his eyes in a haze.

The sound of raindrops hitting the ground caused headaches for noisy people. Lin Qiushi's hearing was sharp and he had not been able to sleep well. When he was in a daze, he heard the sound of children singing ballads outside the house.

At first the sound was very small, buried by the sound of rain, but gradually, the sound of the ballad became louder, and Lin Qiushi woke up directly.

He heard the words of the ballad clearly: Bamboo cracks, bamboo cracks, the bird in the cage wants to escape all the time, just in the night before dawn, the crane and the tortoise slipped and fell, who is facing you behind?

The song was repeated over and over again, but the clear and crisp child's voice seemed extraordinarily weird at this time.

Lin Qiushi was thinking about whether to wake Ruan Nanzhu, when he heard Ruan Nanzhu's soft voice: "What's singing outside?" He didn't have Lin Qiushi's sensitive hearing, he could only hear the voice of shadows in the pouring rain The voice, but I can't hear it clearly.

"It's a nursery rhyme." Lin Qiushi said, "Do you want me to read it to you?"

"Farewell." Ruan Nanzhu said, "I don't know what this nursery rhyme is useful for, so you can call it on your phone."

Lin Qiushi nodded, took out his mobile phone and started typing.After he typed out the nursery rhyme, he handed it to Ruan Nanzhu.

Ruan Nanzhu saw the words on the screen.

After reading it, he returned the phone to Lin Qiushi and said, "This is a Japanese nursery rhyme, which is quite famous."

Lin Qiushi said that he had never heard of it.

"This nursery rhyme is actually a game. When playing, the children will form a circle." Ruan Nanzhu explained in a low voice, "Squatting in the circle is a child who is a ghost. At the end of the nursery rhyme, if you can successfully point out the identity of the person behind you, then the person behind you will become a ghost."

Lin Qiushi: "...So the children outside are playing this game?" The rain outside is so loud, he doesn't think there will be children playing this in the rain in the middle of the night, obviously it is more likely to be those dirty things.

"Yes." Ruan Nanzhu said, "We have no clues this time, so we must be careful in everything."

"They really have no clues?" Lin Qiushi was actually somewhat skeptical about this.

"Maybe there is, but why tell the dead people the clues." Ruan Nanzhu said, "After all, they will try their best to kill us."

Lin Qiushi understood.

The nursery rhymes lasted until most of the night before they gradually disappeared.

The heavy rain continued until the next day, and the weather gradually cleared up in the early morning.

Lin Qiushi was quarreled by the rain all night, so he closed his house in the early morning, but there was a knock on the door, and Ruan Nanzhu asked, "Who is it?"

"It's me." Lin Xingping's voice came, "Are you still getting up?"

Ruan Nanzhu said: "Sister Lin, I still want to sleep for a while, you go to eat first."

Lin Xingping didn't seem to understand Ruan Nanzhu, and said, "...Did you sleep well here?"

Ruan Nanzhu squeezed his throat coquettishly: "Sleeping with my darling, I can sleep well anywhere."

Lin Xingping: "..." She choked on a mouthful of dog food, and finally could only say that you should come over earlier, then turned and left.

Listening to her tone, Lin Qiushi had already begun to call Ruan Nanzhu a brainless idiot in his heart.

Lin Qiushi looked at Ruan Nanzhu and said, "You really can't get up?"

Ruan Nanzhu said: "Didn't you not sleep well? You make up for a while, I will get up first."

Lin Qiushi said: "No need, I'm not very sleepy." He got up from the bed, "Let's have breakfast first."

Ruan Nanzhu said, "All right."

The two changed their clothes, washed perfectly, opened the door and went to the corridor.

When Lin Qiushi walked to the door, he stopped suddenly and cast a puzzled look somewhere in the corridor.

"What's that? Was it there yesterday evening?"

Ruan Nanzhu followed Lin Qiushi's gaze and saw a white sunny day doll hanging at the end of the corridor. This sunny day doll was very big, about the size of a basketball, with stick figures of human facial features drawn on it with black pens.

Ruan Nanzhu: "No, not last night." He was very sure.

Lin Qiushi actually didn't remember it, but he was afraid that he remembered it wrong, so Ruan Nanzhu confirmed it, and now Ruan Nanzhu also said no, then it really didn't exist.

The two walked along the corridor and walked under the Qingtian doll. The Qingtian doll was not hung very high, and Lin Qiushi could take it off as soon as he stretched out his hand. He said, "Do you want to take it down?" He really didn't dare to move the things here .

"Let me do it." Ruan Nanzhu should have his own trump card, so he reached out and took off the sunny day doll.

However, as soon as the sunny baby got it, his expression changed. He turned his head to look at Lin Qiushi, and said in a low voice, "It seems to have a human head wrapped inside."
