Kaleidoscope of Death

Under the oil-paper umbrella, all the rain is perfectly separated.Lin Qiushi and Ruan Nanzhu walking in the rain seemed to be wrapped in an enchantment, and no drop of rain would fall on them.

The road to the shrine was a bit long, and the two walked slowly, not in a hurry.

This is the first time Lin Qiushi left the yard on a rainy day.The entire town was shrouded in rain, and the townspeople who were occasionally seen on weekdays disappeared at this time. The streets were empty, and no one with an umbrella could be seen.Lin Qiushi guessed that maybe in the whole town, there was only one umbrella in his hand. After all, there was no way to guarantee that no drop of rain would get on other umbrellas.

When we arrived at the bamboo forest, we meandered along the path.The surrounding bamboo leaves are crackling by the raindrops, and sometimes the wind blows through the bamboo forest, making the bamboo leaves rustle.

Ruan Nanzhu and Lin Qiushi talked occasionally, but they didn't say much. Both of them were thinking about the shrine.There was also Cui Xueyi who went to the shrine with Lin Xingping yesterday but did not come back today.

Lin Qiushi was actually a little curious about what happened to Cui Xueyi in the shrine. Judging from Lin Xingping's reaction, it would definitely not be a good thing.

The rain continued, as if it would never stop.

Lin Qiushi originally thought that they would have to go at least until noon to reach the shrine, but after walking for about an hour or two with oil-paper umbrellas, they saw the shrine at the end of the path.

The shrine in the rain has a hazy and mysterious taste.

There has been an obvious change in the dilapidated building, and it is no longer dilapidated.

"It's here." Ruan Nanzhu stopped in his tracks. He didn't rush over, and first observed the situation of the shrine.

"Hmm." Lin Qiushi said, "It seems to have changed a lot."

"Yes." Ruan Nanzhu said, "All the damaged places have been repaired." This should be the appearance of the shrine in its heyday.The incense candle stand in front of it was filled with incense, and the altar next to it was filled with various offerings. It can be seen that many people have come here to worship.

Lin Qiushi focused his gaze on the well, and he walked to the well carefully, not daring to get too close, but just watching from a distance.

I saw that the ancient well that had already dried up was filled with clear well water at this time, and the water was rippling, and the clear water surface was stirred up by the falling raindrops into thin waves.Lin Qiushi looked at the well, but what he thought about was whether the bones in the dry well were still in the well water at this time.

Just as he was thinking this way, the well water, which was originally only slightly rippling, suddenly began to churn violently, as if it had been boiled, and the well water made a gurgling sound, as if something was about to come out of it.

Seeing this scene, Lin Qiushi took a step back involuntarily. The next moment, he saw countless pairs of withered hands that had turned into bones protruding from the well water. Judging from the movements, it seemed that they wanted to grab the edge of the well mouth and squeeze out from the inside. climb out.

The mouth of the well is not deep, and it should be easy to climb out of it, but after those bones grabbed the mouth of the well, an invisible force opened their fingers one by one, making them slip again. Into the well water.

So the well water continued to churn, just like the legendary oil pan hell.

"Go ahead." Ruan Nanzhu pointed to the inside of the shrine.

"Okay." Lin Qiushi looked away from the mouth of the well, and followed Ruan Nanzhu to the entrance of the shrine.

They put away the umbrella, wiped off the water on the umbrella with the towel they brought, held it in their hands, pushed open the gate of the shrine, and walked in.

As soon as the gate of the shrine was opened, the wind from outside the house came in, and the sunny baby hanging above their heads kept spinning.

After Lin Qiushi came in, he set his eyes on the sculpture placed in the center of the shrine.It was still the headless monk, but at this time there was an extra staff in the monk's hand. On the top of the staff was a fresh human head. Judging from the appearance of the human head, it was the one who was tricked by Ruan Nanzhu. Cui Xueyi here.

After Cui Xueyi died, his head was cut off and strung on the staff held by the monk.His eyes were wide open, filled with horror and astonishment, with a look of unrepentant death.

Lin Qiushi and him looked at each other. Although he wondered if he was wrong, he actually felt as if he saw Cui Xueyi's eyes move.

Lin Qiushi gently pulled the corner of Ruan Nanzhu's clothes, and said, "He seems to be moving..."

"Yeah." Ruan Nanzhu said, "I saw it too."

It seemed that Cui Xueyi's head was really moving.

Lin Qiushi was about to say something, but a strange sound came from above their heads. Lin Qiushi looked up and found that the sunny doll above their heads started to move.The trajectory of this movement is obviously not blown by the wind, but they are moving by themselves.

The sunny dolls were next to each other, shaking unceasingly, the next moment, one after another of cries spewed out from their mouths.

"It hurts, it hurts...help me, where is my body..."

"Help, help, help..."

"Ah, ah, ah, it hurts..."

It was a scene like hell, all the sunny dolls started screaming, and the white cloth that wrapped them began to ooze bright red blood. Break, and these sunny dolls will fall to the ground.

"Ahhhhh... help..." Cui Xueyi, who was strung up by the staff, also made a sound. Lin Qiushi saw his head start to twist and struggle on the staff, and the statue of the monk who was sitting in a circle unexpectedly He stood up at an extremely slow speed, raised his other hand, and pointed to the empty space above his neck.

Lin Qiushi instantly understood what he meant.

Ruan Nanzhu also understood, he raised his head to look at the sunny baby who was screaming together, and said, "Is it in these?"

"How do I find it?" There were so many sunny dolls, Lin Qiushi felt that finding the monk's head from these dolls was like looking for a needle in a haystack.

"There is always something special about his head." Ruan Nanzhu had already started pacing and checking inside the shrine. He raised his head and carefully observed the sunny doll above his head. "Look for it first."

"Okay." Although Lin Qiushi felt that it was a bit difficult to do so, he still had to try.Following Ruan Nanzhu's footsteps, he also began to check the appearance of the sunny baby.

Although they are all facial features drawn with simple strokes, in fact the appearance of these sunny dolls is indeed different. Some eyes are straight lines, and some eyes are round. All in all, no two dolls are exactly the same.

When Lin Qiushi was searching carefully, he saw the statue of the monk taking a step forward, aiming at the open gate.

Seeing this scene, Lin Qiushi felt cold, and said, "Nan Zhu, hurry up, there seems to be a time limit!"

Ruan Nanzhu said: "Good!"

Apparently, if the statue of the monk had walked out of the house and caught the rain outside, something would have happened.Cui Xueyi, whose head is strung on a staff, is the best proof.

There are too many sunny dolls, densely packed and constantly shaking, it is difficult for Lin Qiushi to find out the difference between them.

The monk's footsteps continued to move forward. Seeing that he was about to reach the door, most people panicked, but Lin Qiushi calmed down unexpectedly.The best way to stop it from happening at this point is to find that particular doll, and the rest of the thinking is superfluous.

Lin Qiushi glanced at the sunny dolls above his head, and suddenly noticed a doll hidden in a corner.

That sunny doll was still wrapped in a white cloth, and it was still screaming miserably, but there was something completely different about it from other sunny dolls—it was crying, to be precise, it was its face. The stick figure on the screen is crying.

The other sunny dolls have the corners of their mouths upturned, but this doll has the corners of their mouths turned down, and the corners of their eyes are drawn in the shape of tears.When Lin Qiushi saw this doll, his heart moved, and he said, "Ruan Nanzhu, come here, is it this!!!"

Ruan Nanzhu walked over quickly, and also saw the sunny baby that Lin Qiushi was pointing at.

"Take it down and have a look!" Ruan Nanzhu said.

The doll was hung a bit high, and Lin Qiushi couldn't take it off by himself, so he picked up Ruan Nanzhu and asked him to reach for it.

Ruan Nanzhu grabbed the sunny doll, broke the cotton thread and took it off the ceiling.

"I opened it." Ruan Nanzhu said, and his hands started to move.They didn't have much time to hesitate. The monk had already reached the door, and it was only two or three steps away from the shrine.

After the white cloth was peeled off, the human head wrapped inside was revealed.

Lin Qiushi was a little nervous, and he didn't dare to leave his eyes on the doll. He was relieved until he saw a monk's head inside after the white cloth was gone.

This head has no hair, with ring scars on its head, eyes closed, and a calm expression. It didn't cry like other sunny dolls, but there was a sympathetic smile on the corner of its mouth.

"What should we do next?" Lin Qiushi looked at the head, then at the statue of the monk standing there, and said, "Install it?"

"I'll try." Ruan Nanzhu said, "I don't guarantee that it will be right..."

As he spoke, he cautiously walked up to the monk's statue with the head in his hand, then stretched out his hand, and gently put the head in his hand on the monk's neck.

The next moment, that head opened its eyes, its gaze was like a torch, and it recited Amitabha Buddha.

There was a strong wind in the house, and the wind outside the house brought rainwater into the shrine. Lin Qiushi's face was covered with rainwater. He was worried when he heard the crisp sound of bronze falling to the ground.

He couldn't be more familiar with this sound, it was the sound of the key falling to the ground.

I saw the monk's staff turned into a bronze key, and the hand that was holding the staff now turned into holding Cui Xueyi's head.

"Help...help..." Cui Xueyi's cry gradually weakened, his resentful eyes gradually became stiff, black spots began to appear on his skin, and finally turned into a frozen stone sculpture.

The monk recited Amitabha again.

The heavy rain outside the window stopped instantly, and the dark clouds in the sky began to dissipate. The monk walked slowly outside the house, and threw the head he was holding into the mouth of the well in front of him.

Then, with a leap, he also jumped into the well in front of him.

The well water churned again, and then the water level began to recede rapidly until it dried up again.

And the dead bones that were originally at the bottom of the well disappeared, as if after appeasing the monk's anger, they were also released from the place where they were imprisoned.

Lin Qiushi heard a creak, and he turned his head again, and found a dark iron door appeared in the place where the statue of the monk was originally placed in the shrine. At this time, the bronze key was being held by Ruan Nanzhu.

The Sunny Babies stopped crying, and Ruan Nanzhu asked curiously, "What do you think they look like inside now?"

"I don't know." How could Lin Qiushi guess it.

"Open another one and have a look." Ruan Nanzhu said, he walked to the place where the sunny doll was hanging in the shrine, and motioned Lin Qiushi to pick him up.

Lin Qiushi was a little helpless, but still obeyed his words, went to his side and picked him up directly, and let Ruan Nanzhu take down another sunny doll.

Ruan Nanzhu untied the white cloth outside and saw the human head wrapped inside. The human head still looked like a human head, but it turned into a stone texture at this time. Ruan Nanzhu muttered: "I don't know if it will be useful to take it out... ..."

"What if it doesn't work?" Lin Qiushi asked.

"If you don't have it, it's useless." Ruan Nanzhu said, "Things that are not props can't be taken out of this world at all, and they will be gone when they go out."

Lin Qiushi thought for a while, then he was really lucky, he had three props within a few doors.

"What about Gu Yuansi? Do I need to go back and tell Xiaocha that the door is open?" Lin Qiushi asked. After getting the key and the door, they can just go out like this, but Gu Yuansi's side is still a hidden danger.

"You don't need to go back deliberately. The sky is clear and there is no dangerous thing inside the door. They will find the door sooner or later. As for Gu Yuansi—what do you think?" Ruan Nanzhu looked at Lin Qiushi, "If you want to kill him, We can indeed go out a few days later, although it is troublesome, there is always a way."

"He..." In fact, Lin Qiushi's feelings towards this person were a bit complicated. They all said that they were in collusion. Although it was Lin Xingping and the others who committed the crime, but without Gu Yuansi as the buyer, this deal would not have happened.There is still a lot of truth in the saying that there is no harm if there is no sale.

"Then let the door judge him." Ruan Nanzhu said, "Cui Xueyi and Lin Xingping are dead. According to the rules of the door, Gu Yuansi will inherit the door with the highest rank among the dead people who entered the door together. Lin Xingping will at least pass through the door." After opening six doors, Gu Yuansi's next one is at least the seventh."

For a person who has just touched the door, the second door is the seventh door.

Lin Qiushi said: "Okay." He sighed, "Am I being too kind?"

"If you are not kind, I will not invite you to join Obsidian." Ruan Nanzhu said, "Some bottom lines cannot be touched. Once you break through, you will continue to fall. As for where you will end up, no one knows. "In the first door, if it weren't for Lin Qiushi's attitude towards him, he and Lin Qiushi would not have these stories today.

"Yes." Lin Qiushi nodded, indicating that he understood.

After following Ruan Nanzhu so many doors, in fact, he can also see that it is very easy for Ruan Nanzhu to fight his teammates inside the door.As long as he wanted, he could kill the people around him first, and then leisurely search for the key and the door under the protection rules of the door.After all, as long as they don't do it directly, those dead and confused people can't take revenge at all.

But Ruan Nanzhu did not choose this tricky method, and he was very taboo about this method.Lin Qiushi admired him inexplicably for his persistence.

"Let's go out first."

Ruan Nanzhu said, "Let's go."

Lin Qiushi nodded.

Ruan Nanzhu opened the door with the key, and the road exuding warm light appeared in front of the two of them.

Lin Qiushi stepped into the radiant tunnel, followed by Ruan Nanzhu, and the two left the world inside the door.

The scene reversed, and Lin Qiushi returned to the hotel corridor.

He and Ruan Nanzhu came forward, and Lin Xingping and the others also came out, but Lin Xingping glanced at them, then rushed towards them, and shouted: "You—you liars—liars—"

Lin Qiushi dodged and looked at her indifferently.

Lin Xingping wanted to say something more, but suddenly she cried a few words, then turned around and rushed towards the glass window at the end of the corridor.She opened the glass window, as if her body was out of control, she fell directly from the glass window, and then Lin Qiushi vaguely heard the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground, as well as the loud exclamation of the crowd.

Cui Xueyi and Gu Yuansi also appeared, and Cui Xueyi seemed very angry, but as soon as he left the door, he spit out blood, coughed violently, and finally fainted on the ground, unable to say anything.

Gu Yuansi shivered beside him, looking at Lin Qiushi and Ruan Nanzhu, as if he was looking at some terrifying prehistoric monster.

It was probably his eyes that triggered Ruan Nanzhu's evil taste. Ruan Nanzhu walked up to him and said with a smile: "You haven't killed anyone yet, so I'll let you go this time, but let me find out again If you mix with this group of people, I will not be polite next time."

Gu Yuansi trembled all over, nodded vigorously, as if he was about to be frightened and passed over directly.

"Call that person 120, isn't he still dead, he must be rescued." Ruan Nanzhu raised his chin, motioning for Gu Yuansi to call the emergency call for Cui Xueyi, who had fainted in the corner, "The doctor and the police are here Now, you know how to answer."

"Enen, I know, I know." Gu Yuansi's expression was quite nervous, as if he was afraid that Ruan Nanzhu would not make a good decision, so he would throw him out of the window directly. This place is more than 20 floors, and it is simply impossible to survive after going down. There will be ghosts.

"Let's go." Ruan Nanzhu said to Lin Qiushi.

Lin Qiushi hummed, and the two entered the elevator one after the other.

After getting on the elevator, Lin Qiushi thought of the hotel's surveillance, and said, "What about the hotel's surveillance? Will the police find us disappearing for no reason?"

"No." Ruan Nanzhu explained to Lin Qiushi, "In the eyes of people who have no way, we just stayed for a while."

"Stayed for a while?" Lin Qiushi did not expect this to happen.

"Yes, I just stared blankly for a while." Ruan Nanzhu said, "No more than 10 minutes, probably in the surveillance video, we just stood in the corridor for a while, and then that Lin Xingping couldn't think about it and committed suicide . ” Although it seems strange, it will not involve them, and the identities of the two have been tampered with.

After leaving the hotel, Ruan Nanzhu and Lin Qiushi found a corner without surveillance and took off their makeup.Ruan Nanzhu regained that gorgeous appearance, with his chin raised slightly, his indifferent and haughty appearance made it impossible to associate him with that obsequious tall woman.

Lin Qiushi also changed his appearance back. In fact, he didn't have a clear understanding of his appearance, but after making a comparison, he still felt that he liked the original appearance a little... After all, the makeup that Ruan Nanzhu put on him, It is too hot for the eyes.

After finishing all this, Lin Qiushi suddenly said, "Did that umbrella come out successfully?"

"No." Ruan Nanzhu opened the backpack, and there was no oil-paper umbrella in it, "It's not a prop, so I can't take it out."

"Oh..." Lin Qiushi was a little regretful. In fact, he felt that many things in the world were quite useful—if they could be brought out.

"So this is a rare thing." Ruan Nanzhu said lightly, "Not everyone has your luck."

Lin Qiushi smiled.

The two returned to the villa, and soon saw the news about Lin Xingping and Cui Xueyi.The news only said that a couple died because of a dispute, and did not mention the two of them. Presumably, Gu Yuansi really didn't confess them.

"It counts him as acquainted." Ruan Nanzhu changed the station.

"What if he confesses us?" Lin Qiushi hasn't been through such an easy door for a long time, and he didn't feel too tired after he came out. He sat on the sofa and ate watermelon slowly.

"Let's confess it." Ruan Nanzhu lazily said, "He must find someone to take him through the door. If he dares to say it, I dare to kill him."

Lin Qiushi was dumb, he knew that although Ruan Nanzhu's tone was casual, he was definitely not joking.

In fact, most of the time, Ruan Nanzhu didn't like to joke, at least he was outside the door.

Lin Qiushi finished eating the last piece of watermelon, and was about to get up to wash his hands, but saw Ruan Nanzhu staring at him.

"What's wrong?" Lin Qiushi was stared at with horror.

"Do you remember?" Ruan Nanzhu said.

"What?" Lin Qiushi was puzzled.

"You still remember, what you owed me inside the door." Ruan Nanzhu said slowly.

Lin Qiushi was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that the tips of his ears moved and turned red: "Ah... I thought you were joking."

"Of course it's not a joke." Ruan Nanzhu said, "I never like to make jokes."

Lin Qiushi: "..." They agree on this point.
