Kaleidoscope of Death

Because of what happened yesterday as a foreshadowing, when everyone saw this sunny doll today, they were not very excited.

Lin Xingping originally wanted to follow yesterday's practice and have someone take down the sunny doll and bury it, but was stopped by a girl whose name seemed to be Xiaocha, who belonged to the more sober-minded category of newcomers.It seemed that she couldn't get used to Lin Xingping bossing others around, and said, "Don't take it, I don't know what the purpose of this doll is, in case the person who takes it will be cursed."

Lin Xingping argued: "Aren't all the people who were taken down yesterday all right?"

Xiaocha sneered: "That might be the case. What if it's just not their turn, it might be in two days."

Lin Xingping said: "How can you talk like that..." She made a look of resentment at being wronged, "Why do you take my kindness as a donkey's liver and lungs?"

Xiaocha didn't like this at all, and said bluntly: "Otherwise, I'll help you bring a stool over, and you can take it off yourself, and you will be this good person?"

Lin Xingping still wanted to defend herself, but Cui Xueyi, who was next to her, saw that the situation was not going well and quickly came to be a peacemaker. It was agreed that everyone should not quarrel, and everyone is a team here, so why bother to be so unhappy? People are dead, it doesn't matter if they hang on.

Lin Xingping pretended to be angry, turned around and left.

Xiaocha spat on the ground and cursed, her savage appearance was quite similar to that of Ruan Baijie back then.After the quarrel, Xiaocha seemed to notice that Lin Qiushi was staring at her. She gave Lin Qiushi a displeased look and cursed: "What are you looking at? I haven't seen a beautiful woman before." Then she turned and left.

Ruan Nanzhu gloated beside Lin Qiushi and said, "This is the first time you have been treated with this attitude."

Lin Qiushi: "..." It seems to be.

Ruan Nanzhu turned his head to look at Lin Qiushi again, and sighed, "It's all because of your face."

Lin Qiushi: "..." It's almost enough, you have said it several times, and how ugly his face is.

There is no mirror in the bathroom of this world, he has been here for two days and he still doesn't know what he looks like.

Ruan Nanzhu looked at Lin Qiushi's dazed look, thought for a while and took out the phone from Lin Qiushi's pocket, opened it and clicked on the front camera: "Nong, look."

Lin Qiushi took a look at the phone, and found that there was a face in the camera that was difficult to describe in words, and it could no longer be described simply by the word ugly.Anyway, when Lin Qiushi saw his face, his next action was to turn off the camera, and he completely understood what was going on with Lin Xingping and the others' disgusted eyes.

Lin Qiushi looked at Ruan Nanzhu speechlessly.

Ruan Nanzhu made a gesture of spreading his hands: "I didn't know that you would become so ugly after entering the door."

Lin Qiushi said: "It's really embarrassing for your eyes." This really affects your eyesight.

Ruan Nanzhu laughed: "Let's go, go have breakfast first, and go out to find clues before it gets dark."

"Okay." Lin Qiushi nodded.

The two went to the restaurant to have breakfast. They said it was breakfast, but it was actually close to eleven o'clock.

Lin Qiushi ate something casually, and left the restaurant with Ruan Nanzhu.

Today, Lin Xingping warmly invited Lin Qiushi and the others to go together, saying that they found a bamboo forest on a mountain in this small town, and there is a stone path in the bamboo forest. I don't know where the path leads...

After hearing what they said, Ruan Nanzhu smiled and said that they wanted to go around the yard first.

"Is there any improvement?" Cui Xueyi said impatiently, "You can see the surroundings almost, you follow us..."

"But walking is so tiring." Ruan Nanzhu leaned against Lin Qiushi's side, his voice was sweet and soft, and he said coquettishly on purpose: "I don't want to walk at all." If a slightly prettier girl said this, it might make people People think it is pleasing to the eye, but Ruan Nanzhu in this world is not beautiful at all, so Cui Xueyi's eyes showed a very obvious expression of disgust.

"Get over it, let's persevere." Lin Xingping didn't give up.

"No way, I can't force my little princess." Lin Qiushi has now understood the essence of his face, he raised Ruan Nanzhu's chin, and talked to Ruan Nanzhu face to face in a gentle tone, "After all, my family I will feel sorry for the little princess who walks too much."

Obviously, it is very powerful for Lin Qiushi to say such words with this face. He clearly saw that Cui Xueyi and Lin Xingping's complexions darkened, and they swallowed slightly. He didn't know if he was forcing the feeling of nausea Also swallowed back.

"You can understand, right?" Lin Qiushi, who has a bad taste, is still disgusting people.

Lin Xingping smiled very reluctantly, and Lin Qiushi suspected that she could not bear it anymore.

Lin Qiushi still planned to continue, but Cui Xueyi turned and left, it seemed that he could not bear it anymore.And Lin Xingping and Gu Yuansi followed him and left.Although Gu Yuansi was the employer, he didn't speak much from the beginning to the end, and he had no sense of presence. It was not until he left that Lin Qiushi noticed such a person standing beside him.

Cui Xueyi walked to the edge of the yard, probably thinking that they couldn't hear him, so he whispered to Lin Xingping, "Why did you choose such a disgusting one?"

"How would I know." Lin Xingping was also complaining, "A girl is quite normal when she reads the information, but who knows that her boyfriend is so disgusting."

"Damn it." Cui Xueyi spat, "I feel nauseous even talking to him."

Lin Xingping: "I also have a little..."

The two walked away while talking, and Lin Qiushi wanted to laugh when he heard it behind him. He didn't expect Ruan Nanzhu's makeup to have such an effect.It actually saved Lin Xingping and the others from continuing to harass them, which saved a lot of trouble.

Ruan Nanzhu said: "Let's go out later, I have something to confirm."

"What?" Lin Qiushi and he found a stone bench in the yard and sat down.

"Do you remember what I saw last night?" Ruan Nanzhu glanced around the courtyard.

"You mean the one holding the umbrella?" Lin Qiushi remembered what Ruan Nanzhu had said, but he couldn't see it with his eyesight.

"Yes." Ruan Nanzhu nodded, "I think this umbrella is the key." He thought, "I want to look for it."

"By the way, last night, why did you say that?" Lin Qiushi suddenly remembered the sentence Ruan Nanzhu said when the kid picking up the basketball suddenly appeared last night, "It's the sentence that wets the floor." It's..."

Ruan Nanzhu smiled and said: "I just said it casually, but I didn't expect it to be really useful."

"Just say it casually?" Lin Qiushi didn't quite believe it.

"Really." Ruan Nanzhu said lazily, "I just got inspiration from the person holding the umbrella." He tilted his head, "When I saw that person, I thought he really looked like a Parents watching their children do their homework..."

Lin Qiushi: "..."

"Parents, they definitely don't like children who don't obey the rules." Ruan Nanzhu said, "Especially things like getting the floor wet..."

When they were talking, the people in the courtyard had almost left.

The whole yard was empty, without the sound of rain, and the wind chimes in the yard were jingling as the breeze blew past.Ruan Nanzhu stood up from the stone bench and walked towards a certain room.

"Hasn't it been inspected there?" Lin Qiushi remembered that they had inspected this room on the first day.

Ruan Nanzhu said, "Look again."

Lin Qiushi didn't persuade him anymore, and followed Ruan Nanzhu to the outside of the room.

This room was lived by the owner of the yard, and it was similar to their furnishings, just a bed, a few cabinets, without any extra decorations.

Ruan Nanzhu entered the house and began to check around.

Standing at the door, Lin Qiushi was thinking about the scene he saw last night, but suddenly he felt his calf touched by something. When he lowered his head, his hairs immediately stood up.I saw a dirty basketball slowly rolling to his feet.

Lin Qiushi looked along the basketball and saw a pair of black eyes peeking out from the gap under the ground.

The floors of the buildings here are all separated, and they are not sealed with wooden boards. It is completely possible to crawl in through the gaps beside them...Of course, no one usually does this.

These eyes flashed past, and when Lin Qiushi looked again, they were gone.

"Nan Zhu—" Lin Qiushi yelled, "There seems to be something underneath."

Ruan Nanzhu came out of the room and said, "What?"

Lin Qiushi pointed to his feet: "There seems to be something under the floor here."

Ruan Nanzhu asked, "What is it?"

Lin Qiushi said: "A pair of eyes..." Although most of the things inside the door wanted his life, there were actually some rational ghosts.For example, under his feet, he felt inexplicably that this thing was reminding him of something, "I want to see under the floor."

"Let me come." Ruan Nanzhu said, "I'll come and see."

He took Lin Qiushi's mobile phone, turned on the lighting function, and prepared to climb under the floor to have a look.Lin Qiushi is still a little worried, otherwise let's stop watching it, and if something happens to this, he won't be able to run away.

Ruan Nanzhu refused, he said: "No, that umbrella must be nearby, and now only the floor has not been checked."

Lin Qiushi wanted to say something more, but saw that he had climbed in with a firm attitude.

It was very dark under the floor, and the surrounding things could only be identified with the help of a weak light source.

Lin Qiushi squatted outside, looking at Ruan Nanzhu worriedly, fearing that something might happen to him.

Ruan Nanzhu's pace of crawling inside suddenly stopped, as if he had found something, and after a while, a sentence came from inside: "I found it."

Lin Qiushi shouted outside: "What did you find? An umbrella?"

"Hmm... Umbrella, there seems to be something else." Ruan Nanzhu said, "I'll drag it out first..."

He crawled through it with difficulty, dragging out what he found under the floorboards.It was a black pocket, and next to the pocket, there was a very simple oil-paper umbrella. The oil-paper umbrella looked very worn out, and there were a few patches on it.

Lin Qiushi reached out to help Ruan Nanzhu up, and said, "What's in the bag?"

Ruan Nanzhu shook his head: "I don't know, you open it and have a look." He paused, "Maybe it's not a good thing."

What is hidden in it is naturally impossible to be a good thing.

Lin Qiushi bent down and opened the black bag, and saw that it was actually a bag of bones that had been crushed into pieces. From the structure of the bones, Lin Qiushi could tell that they must belong to humans, and they might belong to children...

"It's a child's skeleton." Ruan Nanzhu's words confirmed Lin Qiushi's guess, but he seemed to be more proficient in distinguishing these things. He checked roughly, "There is more than one."

"More than one?" When Lin Qiushi saw these bones, he inexplicably thought of those children who sang birds in cages in the garden last night. Could these bones have anything to do with them?He thought for a moment, and said, "It seems that I didn't see the skull..."

"There is indeed no skull." Ruan Nanzhu said, "There are only bones from other parts of the body."

"Then what should we do? Bury it?" Lin Qiushi asked.

"It's safe in the ground." Ruan Nanzhu put down the bag, "Although I always feel that the most important part is not here." He said, looking up at the sunny doll hanging at the end of the corridor.

It was still the overly big Sunshine Doll, which was hung by cotton ropes in the corridor. At this time, it swayed slightly with the wind. If you didn't know what was wrapped inside, you might feel that the atmosphere was a little quiet.It's just that when Lin Qiushi thought of the whitish head soaked by rain, he felt a stomachache.

Lin Qiushi found a shovel in the corner of the yard, and planned to dig a hole to bury the black bag.

Ruan Nanzhu was too weak, Lin Qiushi couldn't bear his hard work, so he let him sit and watch.The pit was dug quickly. When Lin Qiushi buried the bones in, he always felt that there was something watching him, but after searching carefully, he couldn't find the source of the sight.

Ruan Nanzhu was sitting not far from Lin Qiushi, lowering his head and studying the oil-paper umbrella in his hand.

This oil-paper umbrella is very ordinary. The ribs are made of bamboo. The whole body presents a light white color. It looks like it has been used for a long time. There are several patches on the surface of the umbrella, and every part is exuding an old smell. breath.

Ruan Nanzhu opened the umbrella and saw some remaining water stains inside, said: "This umbrella should have been used recently, maybe... just last night?"

Lin Qiushi was filling the soil, and when he heard this, he replied, "Is that the one you saw last night?"

"It's possible." Ruan Nanzhu said, "This umbrella should be very useful, so I have to find a chance to try it."

Lin Qiushi said, "How to try?"

Ruan Nanzhu glanced at the sky: "Umbrellas, you can only use them when it rains." Now the sky is slowly turning cloudy again. With yesterday's experience, everyone should know that it will definitely rain soon .And as long as it is exposed to this rain, it will become a sunny doll in the corridor after one night.

Lin Qiushi patted the soil firmly, put the shovel back to its place, and said, "Let's go, they should be back by now."

"Go." Ruan Nanzhu said.

The two went back to the house, and soon heard the sound of conversation coming from outside the yard. It was Lin Xingping and the others who had returned from looking for clues from outside.

The contents of their whispered discussion were all heard by Lin Qiushi.

This afternoon, Lin Xingping and Cui Xueyi went to the path they found in the bamboo forest. They walked up the path, but they couldn't reach the end.Seeing that most of the daytime had passed, although they did not reach their destination, the three of them decided to come back first. After all, if it rained halfway, it would be a disaster for them.

Of course, when they found Lin Qiushi and Ruan Nanzhu in the room, they stopped discussing instantly.

Lin Xingping said, "Hey, you just stayed in the house all day?"

At this moment, Ruan Nanzhu was leaning against Lin Qiushi's arms, and said in a soft voice, "Yes, I'm not feeling well, and my dear just stayed with me for a day."

"Oh, okay." Lin Xingping said, "We have made a big discovery outside." She laughed when she said this, "Tomorrow if you feel better, we can go and have a look separately."

"Oh, what discovery?" Lin Qiushi asked.

"Didn't I tell you before that we found a way in the bamboo forest?" Lin Xingping laughed, her smile looked very sincere, as if she was really a leader who cared about the newcomers, "We just started from there. I found something when I came back.”

"What?" Ruan Nanzhu pretended to be curious.

"It's a courtyard." Lin Xingping sighed, "It's a pity that we got there too late, and we came back without having time to check carefully. You should leave tomorrow morning, go there early, and you should be able to find something else in the courtyard." clue."

Cui Xueyi chimed in: "What do you tell them to do? They stay in the house every day, don't they just want to sit back and enjoy what they have? Such people, you are so kind to them!"

Lin Xingping said: "You can't say that, we are teammates after all."

One of these two people sang good faces and the other sang bad faces, and they cooperated quite tacitly. If Lin Qiushi hadn't listened to their conversation long ago, I'm afraid they would have believed it.

Lin Qiushi looked at Ruan Nanzhu.

Ruan Nanzhu murmured: "Sister Lin, don't be angry. I'm just not feeling well today. I'll be fine tomorrow. You mean the yard, right? I'll go there with my boyfriend tomorrow to see if we can find something. "

"Well, okay." Lin Xingping said, "Actually, there are still a few places that haven't been investigated. We will go there to investigate first tomorrow. After all, there is strength in numbers. Only by helping each other can we get out of here early."

Lin Qiushi nodded sincerely upon hearing this.

After Lin Xingping said this, she walked away with Cui Xueyi and the others.

Ruan Nanzhu winked at Lin Qiushi, and the two left the living room and returned to their room.

Lin Xingping really started to attack them. There was nothing on that small road. If they really believed Lin Xingping and the others foolishly and kept walking along the road, they might not be able to return until it rained.At that time, if the time is not accurate and it rains outside, it is estimated that the next day my head will be hung in the corridor as a sunny baby.

And Lin Xingping is obviously familiar with this kind of thing, she didn't do it herself, Lin Qiushi and Ruan Nanzhu died at the hands of ghosts, and they couldn't turn into ghosts for revenge.

"It's really not a good thing." Ruan Nanzhu sneered, "But I'm a little interested in what is at the end of that path."

Lin Qiushi heard the sound of raindrops falling on the ground again from outside. It was still ticking at first, but soon it became crackling.He glanced outside, and saw that the courtyard was once again covered by rain, the sky was overcast, and the whole world was immersed in regular noise.

Ruan Nanzhu said: "Let's go and have a look tomorrow."

Lin Qiushu said, "The path?"

"Hmm." Ruan Nanzhu analyzed, "This town is very small. We have checked most of the places, and there is nothing special about it. The end of the path they found may be something particularly important."

Lin Qiushi felt that Ruan Nanzhu's words were indeed quite reasonable, and he nodded, indicating that he agreed with his proposal.

The two sat in the house, waiting for the night to come.

It was about nine o'clock, and it was completely dark outside. The few lights hanging in the corridor were completely useless. They were like the lights of fireflies wrapped in the rain curtain.

The lights in other rooms were turned off one after another, and everyone was preparing to go to bed for the night.

Ruan Nanzhu took out his umbrella and stood up.

Lin Qiushi stopped him and said, "I'll come this time."

Ruan Nanzhu smiled: "I won't do risky things casually, I have a hole card."

Lin Qiushi pursed his lips, "But..."

Ruan Nanzhu waved his hand and stopped Lin Qiushi from continuing. He stared at Lin Qiushi tenderly with his black eyes, and said, "Don't worry, I have a measure." After a pause, he chuckled again, "I won't let my boyfriend A widower."

Lin Qiushi: "..." You are still joking at this time.

When Ruan Nanzhu spoke, he had already walked to the corridor, opened the oil-paper umbrella, and walked cautiously towards the rain curtain.

Lin Qiushi looked at him and held his nervous breath. However, when Ruan Nanzhu walked into the courtyard, a miraculous scene happened. The rain around him was bounced away by an invisible force. With Nanzhu as the center, it actually formed a vacuum zone without water droplets splashing down.

"It really works." Ruan Nanzhu stood in the rain and smiled at Lin Qiushi.

Lin Qiushi looked at his smile, and heaved a sigh of relief...at least, nothing really happened.

Ruan Nanzhu stood in the rain for a while, then returned to the corridor and put away the oiled paper umbrella.He casually shook off the water on the oil-paper umbrella, wiped the oil-paper umbrella with the prepared towel, and re-entered the room after making sure that the water droplets on it would not fall on the floor.

This umbrella is obviously very important, but they haven't figured out its use yet, but even if they haven't figured out the key point, they now have an important support...Lin Qiushi and Ruan Nanzhu can go out in rainy days.
