Kaleidoscope of Death

The car drove forward out of the neighborhood.

Lin Qiushi and Cheng Qianli sat in the back seat, they didn't have much conversation, the atmosphere in the car was very quiet. It wasn't until the car drove onto the highway that Lin Qiushi couldn't help but ask, "Where exactly are you guys taking me?"

"I thought you wouldn't ask." Cheng Qianli.

Lin Qiushi: "I asked and you told me?"

Cheng Qianli: "I won't."

Lin Qiushi: ".......You guys can be really interesting.

Half an hour later, the car parked outside a single house in the suburbs.

Lin Qiushi got out of the car and observed the building in front of him. This villa was a one-story house with no people around it, standing alone in the middle of nowhere.

The villa was surrounded by dense grass and trees, and the noisy chirping of insects could be heard as one stood outside the door.

After Ruan Nanzhu parked the car, the three of them followed the path all the way forward. Lin Qiushi took out his cell phone and looked at it, and found that it was now exactly one o'clock in the morning, about the place was too remote, the cell phone signal was weak, only a small cell.

Ruan Nan Candle walked ahead, reached the entrance of the villa, raised his hand and pushed the door in.

Only after Lin Qiushi entered did he see that the villa was brilliantly lit inside, and three people were sitting in the living room on the first floor, seemingly discussing things. The three people were two men and one woman, and when they saw him coming, they all cast stares at him.

"Brother Ruan." One of them called out to Ruan Nan Candle and was very respectful in terms of attitude, "You're back."

Nodding slightly, Ruan Nan Candle found a random sofa and sat down, raising his hand to gesture Lin Qiushi to sit next to him. Lin Qiushi hesitated for a moment, but still obeyed Ruan Nan Candle's wishes.

Ruan Nan Candle said, "You just came out of the door, right." He stretched out his hand, "Where's the note?"

Lin Qiushi was slightly stunned, not expecting Ruan Nan Candle to get to the point so openly and without any preliminaries, he directly approached him to ask for that slip of paper.

"Don't you think you should explain the situation first?" Lin Qiushi said, "Suddenly barge into my house, bring me here, and ask me for something without saying anything?"

Ruan Nan Candle said, "Qianli, you explain."

Cheng Qianli shrugged his shoulders and looked helpless, he got up, picked up the notebook in front of him, opened it and tapped for a while, then handed it to Lin Qiushi in passing.

Lin Qiushi was baffled, but he still took the notebook and saw eight or nine web pages open on it, "What is it?"

Cheng Qianli: "Take a look."

Lin Qiushi slid his mouse and roughly browsed through the web pages, finding that they were all yesterday's news, most of which were accidental deaths. One of them was very familiar to Lin Qiushi, it said that there was a car accident in X city, the driver was speeding and died directly after hitting the top of the guardrail. Looking at the initials of the surnames and photos in the news, Lin Qiushi finally realized what these contents really were.

All of the people who died in the webpage were the same people he had seen in the door before. They had all died almost on the same night, although there were a thousand strange ways to die, both suicides and homicides.

Lin Qiushi: "...If people die inside the door, those outside will also die?"

Cheng Qianli nodded, "I'll tell you this first, so you can prepare yourself, that door is no joke or nightmare, if something happens inside, no one will be left outside."

Lin Qiushi said, "I get it, but what the hell is that thing?"

"It's hard to explain exactly what it is with science, it's inherently against the norm." Cheng Qianli looked at Ruan Nam Candle who was sitting next to him, "You just came out of the door, you quickly bring us that note you got from the door, it's very important."

Lin Qiushi: "I don't have that note with me."

"It doesn't matter if you don't have it, do you remember what it says?" Cheng Qianli asked.

Lin Qiushi nodded, and he hesitated a little, but in the face of everyone's stares, he still said the contents of the note: "Phil Summerbird."

"Check." Ruan Nan Candle gave the order and everyone moved.

Seeing how tense they looked made Lin Qiushi a bit nervous as well, he said, "What's going on, I don't understand..."

Ruan Nan Candle: "Has anything strange happened around you lately?" He's looking at his phone, "some omen or something like that."

Lin Qiushi said, "An omen?"

Nguyen Nam Candle: "Yes, omens." He explained, "Like seeing something that you haven't seen before, having some small accident, or..." he paused here, "the family animals are not allowed to touch them? "

Lin Qiushi: "Yes, yes, my cat won't let me hold it, do you think there's any cure for this problem?"

Cheng Qianli: "There's no cure, just cut it."

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

Ruan Nan Candle looked at Cheng Qianli, and Cheng Qianli quickly made an expression like I'm working seriously. Ruan Nan Candle said, "You're dying."

Lin Qiushi was stunned, "Huh? What do you mean?"

Ruan Nan Candle: "Literally." He takes his time, "But as long as you can survive the twelve doors, you'll survive and be completely free of the doors."

Lin Qiushi: "Gate control?" He felt like literally a hundred thousand whys, there were countless questions coming to his mind, but he didn't dare to ask them all, and looking at this Ruan Nan Candle, he didn't seem to be a particularly patient person in any way.

As expected, Ruan Nan Candle said, "You don't need to ask questions in a hurry, you still have a week to slowly figure out what happened, Cheng Qianli, I'll leave it to you."

Cheng Qianli: "I swear this is the newbie Q&A session I hate the most."

Lin Qiushi: ".......aggravate you ah.

"Then I'll ask one last question today, okay." Lin Qiushi thought about it and felt that this question was the most important for now.

"What's the problem?" Cheng Qianli Road.

"That... Ruan Baijie is who are you guys?" Lin Qiushi asked, "She must be related to you, right?"

The entire room fell into a strange silence, Cheng Qianli's expression was very strange, even distorted to say the least. Lin Qiushi studied him for a moment before realizing that he was holding a laugh.

"You'll know later." Ruan Nan Candle said in a warm voice, "Don't be in a hurry."

Lin Qiushi: ".......Why do you all have such strange expressions.

While they were talking, the people in the house had already found out about the Phil Summer Bird and some related information.

Ruan Nan Candle announced after hearing everyone's report, "Cheng Qianli, bring him to get to know everyone, I have something to go out."

Cheng Qianli: "Okay."

Ruan Nan Candle left after saying that, and shortly afterwards the sound of a car starting came from outside the house.

Lin Qiushi who was left behind and Cheng Qianli looked at each other, finally Cheng Qianli stood up and said, "Let me introduce you, this is Lu Yanxue, the only girl in our team, she has more guts than a man and a rougher personality than a man."

Lu Yanxue: "Fuck, Cheng Qianli do you speak human language?"

Cheng Qianli ignored her and introduced the other two people: "Chen Fei, Yi Manman, Chen Fei is the one wearing glasses, and the other one is called Yi Manman, this person is very matter-of-fact and has a lot of nonsense, so it's best to stay away from him."

Chen Fei nodded to Lin Qiushi, Yi Manman, "Cheng Qianli are you itching for skin or something?"

"This is Lin Qiushi, you all know about him." Cheng Qianli said, "The person Ruan brought back."

The three of them were still all quite friendly in terms of attitude, but they didn't talk much and didn't mean to exchange feelings with Lin Qiushi.

Cheng Qianli seemed to have seen Lin Qiushi's thoughts and explained sincerely, "You shouldn't blame them for not welcoming you, after all, we don't know how long you'll live, and it's hard to waste your feelings on a dead person."

Lin Qiushi: "...I feel much better when you say that - it's only weird, what do you mean you don't know how long he'll live.

"At least make it through the next door," Cheng Qianli said, "But your next door Ruan should be able to take you through, so there shouldn't be any serious problems."

Lin Qiushi: "Then Ruan Baijie..."

Cheng Qianli: "Are you hungry? Do you want something to eat?"

Lin Qiushi: ".......You're turning too hard on this topic.

Lin Qiushi wasn't hungry, and couldn't sleep after being woken up in the middle of the night, so he sat in the living room and watched them do their work. They all seemed to be looking up things about the Firsia Bird, even though it was just a fairy tale name, but they seemed to be digging to find out all the clues. Chen Fei and Yi Manman are still discussing a trip to the library tomorrow.

Cheng Qianli says that Lin Qiushi can go upstairs to sleep if he has nothing to do, and the room has been prepared for him, the one on the right hand side closest to the inside, which has a computer and other things, so Lin Qiushi can still play games if he has nothing to do.

Lin Qiushi: "...Then I'm going to bed."

Cheng Qianli: "Good night."

Lin Qiushi thumped up the stairs, and as soon as he turned into his right hand, he saw a person standing at the end of the corridor, he originally thought it was someone else who lived in the villa and was about to go forward to say hello, but as soon as Lin Qiushi got a good look at that person's face, the cold sweat on his back came down.

Cheng Qianli, who was supposed to be sitting downstairs, actually appeared in front of him and walked towards him with an expressionless face.

"Cheng Qianli?" Lin Qiushi slowly took a step back, "Why are you here?"

That person had cold eyes and a completely different temperament from Cheng Qianli, and when he heard Lin Qiushi's words, he spoke faintly, "I'm not Cheng Qianli."

Lin Qiushi: "Then who are you?"

The man said, "I'm Cheng Qianli's brother."

Lin Qiushi: "Huh?"

The man said, "Cheng Yicher."

Lin Qiushi fell into an enigmatic silence, he didn't say anything, turned around and ran back to the first floor, saw that Cheng Qianli was indeed sitting in the living room chatting with Lu Yanxue, saw him running back and said in confusion, "What's wrong?"

Lin Qiushi: "You have a twin brother, huh?"

Cheng Qianli: "Oh, right, I forgot."

Lin Qiushi: "....... "Can you forget something so important? And what's with the two of your names, a thousand pylons and a thousand leaks?

What the author has to say: Lin Qiushi: I just want to meet Ruan Baijie....

Ruan Nanzhu: You come to me at night and let you ♂ get to know him.

Lin Qiushi:........
