Kaleidoscope of Death

Chapter 7 - Women

The image in the darkness wasn't obvious, but because the sight was so horrifying, it caused the crowd to cast all their attention on it.

Only the relief on the pillar began to twist and distort, as if something was trying to break free from it. This situation lasted no more than a moment before the crowd saw a pale hand, hardened and extruded from inside the relief, which was immense and painted with red nails, groping around in the void and finally grabbing the wooden fence next to it.

After grasping the wooden fence, the hands seemed to find a point of strength, and began to pull on the wooden fence, pulling their bodies and heads out of the column little by little.

The whole picture was bizarre and terrifying, and the crowd's breathing almost stopped.

"What else are you looking at! Run!" Ruan Baijie's voice woke up the crowd who seemed to be nightmared, and Lin Qiushi also woke up suddenly, and when he looked again, he found that the thing had already squeezed most of it out of the pillar.

"Run!!!" Nguyen Baijie, "Run!!!"

At her command, the crowd drew up and ran, and Lin Qiushi didn't dare waste any more time, running as fast as he could in the direction of home.

But the sound behind them was getting louder and louder, it seemed like the thing had managed to break free from the pillar and started chasing them.

Lin Qiushi heard the sound of something crawling in the snow, he knew that he couldn't turn back at this point, but he still didn't hold back and took a look towards his back.

The glance scared him and he stumbled, only to see that the ghost had indeed squeezed out of the pillar, it looked like a woman, naked and covered in long black hair, but her body was several times larger than normal, her long limbs were moving like arthropods on the ground in strange writhing motions, her face could not be seen clearly, but the most striking thing was the long-handled axe in her hand that was covered in red liquid.

"Fuck!!!" Lin Qiushi finally couldn't help but curse profanities, a few times before it was a bit of a hallucination, this time the crowd saw this type of thing so clearly, finally having the tangible feeling that they were in a different dimension.

There were other people in the team who turned their heads, and in short, anyone who saw this thing was shocked.

The desire to survive made everyone quicken their pace, but the snowy road was slippery and it was a village path, no matter how fast it was, but in the blink of an eye, everyone was going to be caught up.

"Help-" it seemed that Curtis was running too fast, and her whole body fell down on the snow, she tried to get up again, but her hands and feet turned soft from fear, and she couldn't exert any power at all, "Brother Bear- Help-"

Everyone thought that Little Ke was dead, and at such a critical moment, it was questionable whether their own lives could be guaranteed, so how could they have the heart to care about anyone else's. Who knew that after Xiao Ke's miserable call, the bear lacquer actually bit his teeth, stopped his own footsteps, turned around and pulled Xiao Ke up from the snow, "Go!"

"Bear." Curt whimpered, tears streaming down her face, she was about to thank the bear for the paint when she felt a shadow over her head.

The woman with the axe came, she looked condescendingly at the two people in front of her who were scared stiffer than stone and grinned, the woman's mouth was so huge that you could see all the dense teeth in it, her extremely long hands held a rusty axe, she raised her hand and chopped down on the two people in front of her.

"Ahhhh!!!" Curt let out a miserable scream and stretched out his arms and held Bear Paint in a death hug, not daring to look at the image in front of him at all.

Xiong Lacquer gritted his teeth and closed his eyes as well, seemingly giving up the struggle.

However, the moment the axe fell, a faint layer of golden light floated on the two of them, and the axe landed on top of the golden light, emitting a crunching sound of a sharp weapon meeting.

The tall woman let out a disgruntled cry at the sight, but didn't even care about Little Ke and Xiong Lacquer anymore, and continued to chase after the people in front of her.

Curt and Xiong Lacquer survived in death, both of them slumped in the snow.

"Brother Xiong, what's going on." Curt asked with a trembling voice.

Xiong Lacquer was silent for a moment and said in a mute voice, "Do you remember the Buddha we just entered the temple to worship?"

Curt nodded.

"Maybe he defended us." Bearpaw raised his eyes, looking in the direction the woman had run off in.

"So those who entered the temple by themselves..." ko obviously understood what Bearpaint meant, and she remembered that a person entering the temple didn't see the benevolent Buddha statue they had seen, but the woman with the axe in front of her.

"Dead." Xiong Lacquer laughed bitterly.

Lin Qiushi and Ruan Baijie ran wildly all the way to the temple and ended up going through almost the same time as Ke Xiong Lacquer. But this time it was Ruan Baijie who protected the exhausted Lin Qiushi in her arms, facing the hideous monster in front of her, she didn't seem to have much fear and even distracted herself by gently kissing the top of Lin Qiushi's head and saying that she wasn't afraid.

Lin Qiushi had wanted to help Ruan Baijie stop it, but instead, he was hugged to death by Ruan Baijie, almost unable to move, he watched as the axe chopped towards them, then was stopped in front of them by the golden light.

"Heh." Ruan Baijie laughed.

As Lin Qiushi was stunned, he watched as the woman quickly turned around and ran towards the person beside them. That person also saw what was happening to Lin Qiushi and Ruan Baijie, however, after only a few seconds of stunned silence, he found the woman appearing in front of him.

"Am I, are we saved?" Did the man question to Lin Qiushi, "The light on us..."

"Pfft" - was the sound of a sharp weapon breaking through the body.

He was only halfway through his words when his entire body was split in half by the sharp axe, and up until the moment he died, his face was still full of incredulity, as if he didn't understand at all why the same thing put on him was a different ending.

Lin Qiushi sat in the snow and watched as blood dripped everywhere, the woman giggled and carried the axe on to find someone else, leaving behind a blood red wreckage.

He pursed his lips, trying to contain his desire to vomit.

"It's okay." Ruan Baijie was there to pat him on the back, "It's over."

Lin Qiushi said, "Is it because the number of people entering the temple is wrong?"

Ruan Baijie didn't say anything.

Lin Qiushi: "There were two people who entered the temple alone, did they... all die."

Ruan Baijie: "I don't know."

Yeah, who knows the answer to such questions.

Lin Qiushi stood up in the snow and stretched out his hand to Ruan Baijie, "Let's go, go home."

Ruan Baijie smiled and shook Lin Qiushi's hand.

About an hour later, when everyone gathered at the home, the numbers dwindled again.

Just as Lin Qiushi had predicted, none of the people who entered the temple alone survived. The strange woman with the axe had taken their lives.

"She brought all the bodies back." Someone said what they saw, "The corpse was cut in half, and she laughed as she lifted it up and dragged it into the temple."

"So it was the carpenter who tricked us?" Curt said dumbly, "If we did follow the method he said to enter the temple, wouldn't everyone have to die?"

"Can't die." Bearpaint spoke wearily, "At least half of it will be left, it's not usually a reunion in here."

"It's useless to leave half of them behind, who knows if she'll still come." Ruan Baijie did recover quickly, and now she leaned back in her chair and began to slowly take melon seeds, her look of taking melon seeds was also beautiful, or even elegant, "Even if she kills one a day, it's hard enough."

The crowd fell silent.

"Already worshipped the temple, are we ready for the coffin?" Someone asked a question.

Bearpaint nodded, "I'll talk to that carpenter tomorrow, but I always thought it wasn't that simple."

Naturally it wasn't that simple, the well was still unfilled. Filling a well might not be a difficult task in the real world, but in this world, it was enough to kill someone.

Who knew what would come out of it when the well was filled.

But that was all for tomorrow, today everyone had been chased by that thing all night and witnessed the tragic death of their companions, both mentally and physically it was a bit too much to bear.

So the crowd dispersed early, ready to take a good night's rest.

At least tonight, they didn't have to worry about dying.

Lin Qiushi lay on the bed and saw Ruan Baijie lying on his side.

"Thank you for today." Lin Qiushi said, "You're so good, I can't believe I'm not as strong as you."

When running for his life today, it was Lin Qiushi who couldn't run first, and looking at Ruan Baijie's state, he even doubted that she could bounce all the way home.

"It's not good for a man's physical strength." Ruan Baijie said in a deep voice.

Lin Qiushi: "........"

Nguyen Baijie: "You're right, aren't you?"

Lin Qiushi: ".......to your head.

Ruan Baijie looked over her shoulder, smiling at Lin Qiushi: "Do you think we can get out alive?"

Lin Qiushi shook his head to indicate that he didn't know.

Ruan Baijie said, "What was the first thing you did when you got out alive?"

Lin Qiushi thought, "If I get out alive, I'll go back home and get married?"

Nguyen Baijie: "You have a girlfriend?"

Lin Qiushi laughed: "Designer overtime dog where to get a girlfriend."

Ruan Baijie: "Dreams always have to be there, so I'll buy you a girlfriend on Taobao when we go out."

Lin Qiushi: "...You're such a nice guy."

Ruan Baijie: "You're welcome, brother."

They chatted for a while and then slowly fell into a deep sleep. Lin Qiushi didn't dream a single dream that night, as if he was used to it, the cruelty and ruthlessness of this world.

The next day was a bright sunny day.

The author has something to say: Ruan Baijie: Girlfriend no, boyfriend will be a little?

Lin Qiushi: Wait, that's going too far!

Ruan Baijie: Choose for yourself if you want your life or your ass.

Lin Qiushi:.........
