Kaleidoscope of Death

Chapter 10 - Digging.

Because of the three-day appointment, the atmosphere in the team began to get worse and worse. By the afternoon of the second day, conflict erupted in the team once again, and Xiong Lacquer actually had a heated argument with Xiao Ke, just because of an unappetizing meal. Xiong Lacquer was grumpy and threw the rice right out the door, and Xiao Ke threw the door open in anger.

Suspicion was in the air, and the teammates who could have been relied upon were now the object of suspicion. A single conversation, a single action, or even a single look could seemingly become the trigger for an avalanche.

This was the first time Lin Qiushi felt so clearly that everyone was about to die, and the pressure and suspicion brought about by death was almost the last straw that would overwhelm them.

Ruan Baijie seemed to have anticipated such a situation, so she didn't seem surprised, she casually found a corner and sat down, looking at the increasingly neurotic appearance of everyone in the living room, she suddenly opened her mouth softly, "Have you guys forgotten, there's another place with corpses?"

The words were like rain falling into the dry earth, at once nourishing the completely dry atmosphere, and the bear painted, "Where?"

Lin Qiushi said, "Is it a cemetery? But I've been looking for it before, and I've never found a grave in this village somewhere."

"Naturally, it's not a graveyard." Ruan Baijie said, "This world burial should not be as simple as we think."

"Then where is it?" Lin Qiushi asked a question.

Ruan Baijie said, "Do you remember the people who were crushed to death by the tree when you were carrying the tree a few days ago?"

It dawned on Lin Qiushi, "Yes, aren't the few of them considered dead creatures..."

"Come on, let's go dig up their bodies sometime, is filling the well going to be solved soon." Ruan Baijie said, "Everyone doesn't have to look like this anymore."

The atmosphere instantly eased up quite a bit when that was said, but it still wasn't too relaxed, because after all, no one knew if the corpses would be found or not. It had been snowing outside since the day the tree was carried until now, and the corpse had already been buried in deep snow, so it wouldn't be easy to dig it out.

But no matter how hard it was, it was definitely easier than killing someone.

Knowing that time was running out, everyone expressed their opinion that it was best to dig out the corpse as soon as possible to prevent any changes.

Lin Qiushi didn't expect the crowd to be so receptive to this matter, and no one raised any objections from start to finish.

But on second thought, this was indeed the best plan at the moment. Although digging up corpses in the snow was not an easy task, at least everyone had something to strive for. Moreover, even if there were victims in the process of digging up the corpses, it was exactly what everyone wanted - without having to kill anyone, there would be dead things to fill the well.

Half an hour later, everyone gathered in front of the house, each man holding a shovel in his hand.

"Let's go." Xiong Lacquer had a cigarette in his mouth, it was the last tobacco he brought into this world, so he smoked it extra carefully, "We must dig it out today."

That Cheng Wen who chased after Wang Xiaoyi yesterday had red eyes and the whites of his eyes were covered with red blood, his entire body looked full of nerves, "If we can't dig it out, we all have to die." He said glaring hard at Wang Xiaoyi and Lin Qiushi.

Lin Qiushi didn't give him face and stared back unceremoniously.

"Let's go." Ruan Baijie shouted.

Xiong Lacquer then led the crowd towards the mountain path.

For the past few days, it had been snowy and white at night, and the snow on the ground had accumulated a thick layer, making soft footprints when stepping on it.

In about a few minutes, the group arrived at the familiar mountain path, and then up to the forest farm.

"It seems to be around here." Since there weren't any markers, Bear Paint could only determine the general area, "Let's just start digging here."

Lin Qiushi nodded, and with a single push of his hand holding the shovel, he shoveled up a pile of snow.

Although the path wasn't wide, it was extensive, and it was a bit of a struggle to find the bodies this way. But everyone did their work seriously, and no one was lazy.

Ruan Baijie sat on a rock beside her, slowly and leisurely high on melon seeds. Her leisurely expression was in stark contrast to Ke's nervous look. About not used to Ruan Baijie's indifferent appearance, Xiao Ke suddenly said: "Aren't you afraid of death? If you die in this world, you'll die in the real world as well."

Ruan Baijie slouched: "Scared."

Curtis: "Why do you still have this expression if you're afraid?"

Ruan Baijie didn't even bother to look at her, treating her like she was treating the air, it could simply be called contempt, "Everyone reacts differently to fear, some cry, some laugh, I like to get high on melon seeds." She reached out and scattered the melon shells on the snow-covered path, "And I like to litter."

Xiao Ke: "......." she clearly felt that Ruan Baijie was making a fool of her, but for a moment she didn't know how to retort, so she could only turn away with a low curse of hatred.

Ruan Baijie's expression was smiling rather than laughing, and from the moment she arrived here, she hadn't taken her eyes off Lin Qiushi for a moment, as if there was something extremely interesting about Lin Qiushi that had attracted her attention.

Instead, Lin Qiushi didn't look at Ruan Baijie, he lowered his head and shoveled the snow earnestly, praying in his heart that he could find those two corpses quickly.

However, sometimes the heavens were just not what one wished for, it was already a bit late when they set out, and after an hour of digging, night fell upon the land.

The snow began to drift down again, Lin Qiushi breathed a sigh of relief into his frozen hands and took a look at the sky.

Today's moonlight was not bad, the huge moon was hanging in the sky, reflecting on the white snow, keeping the mountains and forests from getting too dark.

Xiong Lacquer stood beside him, shoveling snow as he talked to Ke, the grumpy Cheng Wen also didn't quite, he cursed as he went outside, moving quite quickly.

The remaining three girls stood beside the path, they didn't speak, they just quietly watched Lin Qiushi.

After digging for a while, Lin Qiushi suddenly felt that something was wrong, he raised his head and took a look towards Ruan Baijie's direction to make sure that there were indeed three people standing there.

One tall and two short ones were standing side by side and seemed to be holding hands in a very friendly manner.

Seeing this scene, the movement of Lin Qiushi's hands suddenly stopped.

"What's wrong?" Not far away, Bear Paint noticed Lin Qiushi's strange appearance, "Lin Qiushi?"

Lin Qiushi said, "It seems a bit strange..."

"What's strange?" This was Little Ke's voice.

After hearing her voice, Lin Qiushi finally found the strange point, they still had six people left, Xiong Lacquer, Xiao Ke, Wang Xiaoyi, Cheng Wen, Ruan Baijie, and himself.

Little Ke was standing next to Xiong Lacquer, so how could there be two people holding hands next to Ruan Baijie.

Lin Qiushi's throat rolled up and down as he continued to swing the shovel as if nothing had happened, calling out, "Ruan Baijie, come over here, I have something I want to tell you."

Ruan Baijie stood up from the stone and walked over towards Lin Qiushi, she asked, "What is it?"

Lin Qiushi didn't utter a word, his remaining light still focused on the two people holding hands, and he noticed that they were standing in the shadows of the treetops, barely able to see their faces. They were almost exactly the same height, and their two hands were linked together as if they were very affectionate. It was just a truly numbing sight at the moment.

"Lin Qiushi?" Nguyen Baijie asked, "What's wrong?"

Lin Qiushi still didn't say anything, he was about to wait for Ruan Baijie to get closer before he felt his shovel slightly pause, as if he had dug into something hard.

Ruan Baijie walked right in front of Lin Qiushi, and when she looked down, she saw a frozen corpse next to Lin Qiushi's shovel: "You found it?"

"What?" Lin Qiushi didn't react for a moment to what Ruan Baijie's words meant.

"You dug up the body?" Ruan Baijie's tone lightened as she said, "Yes, good luck..."

Only now did Lin Qiushi suddenly realize what he had dug out with his shovel, he buried his head and saw a frozen corpse in the middle of the snow, the corpse currently only showed a pair of pale hands, but it was certain that it should be the companion who had died carrying a tree and was covered in snow.

"Found it!" Lin Qiushi shouted loudly. After he finished calling out, he cast his gaze again towards the place where he had just seen the two silhouettes, but he saw that the original two had become one, and the silhouette slowly moved towards them, and when the moonlight reached the place, Lin Qiushi recognized the person as Wang Qiuyi.

Wang Xiaoyi walked next to Lin Qiushi, as if he felt his eyes were a bit strange: "What are you looking at me for?"

Lin Qiushi shook his head, "It's fine."

Wang Xiaoyi said, "Thank you, you're amazing." She dropped her eyes to the corpse in the snow pit, her eyes were so gentle, "If it wasn't for you, I might have died yesterday, you actually managed to find the corpse..."

Lin Qiushi said, "Just lucky." He suddenly reached out his hand and held Ruan Baijie, "Come over here a little."

Ruan Baijie felt Lin Qiushi's movement and raised her eyebrows slightly, and was about to speak, but she felt Lin Qiushi's fingers lightly drawing on her hand.

He drew a total of four strokes and wrote out a king character.

Almost a moment later, Ruan Baijie tightened her hand to show that she understood, she looked at the corpse and said, "Since we've found it, let's hurry up and bring the corpse back."

"Yeah." Wang Xiaoyi smiled, and she said, "Let's hurry back."

The author had something to say: I asked everyone to find the dead body, and then someone indicated that taking off their pants and jerking off at the well solved the matter....

Something in the well: social society, can't afford to mess with it.
