Kaleidoscope of Death

Chapter 19 - Getting Started

"Don't you guys try to fool me, what's the world inside the door, are you guys running a show or trying to cheat money?" The man ranting was a middle-aged man in his forties or fifties, richly dressed, and it was obvious from the Patek Philippe watch on his wrist that this man was worth a lot of money. But it was probably because this man was born rich that he was completely unable to accept this beyond common sense for a moment.

"I'll never believe it, I'm getting out of here right now." The man said, "Don't you dare try to stop me!"

A skinny girl next to the man was crying sadly, seemingly frightened by the scene. The remaining faces were either dazed or indifferent, and another young man scoffed, "If you want to go, just go, talking as if anyone would stop you."

The middle-aged man sneered, but actually turned around and left the house.

Other than the lone building in front of him, all the other buildings were hidden in darkness, as if a thick fog had enveloped the entire world. That middle-aged man also had a lot of guts, and actually walked into the black fog without looking back, Lin Qiushi was just about to exclaim that this man had a great temper, but then not even a minute later, the miserable screams of that middle-aged man came from the black fog.

Then, a figure staggered out of the black mist, the figure was covered in blood, and it was not even clear what he looked like or looked like, he could only judge from his height and size that this person was the one who had just run into the black mist.

"It's also lucky." A tall imperial sister standing in the crowd opened her mouth in a nonchalant manner, "I can't believe he didn't die."

Lin Qiushi cast his eyes on this imperial sister. She was tall, with beautiful long black hair with slight curls, and a delicate face with an indifferent look, because she was standing inside the crowd, Lin Qiushi didn't see too clearly until she took two steps towards the outside, then Lin Qiushi noticed her clothes - exactly the same as the Ruan Nan Candle before she entered.

Fuck - Lin Qiushi instantly understood what was going on. He cursed a few times in his heart for being a fuck, but his face still made a dazed expression.

"Where the hell is this place?" The little girl who had been crying cried even harder when she saw this, "I'm so scared..."

"The world of doors." The disguised Ruan Nam Candle said so, "My name is Zhu Meng, and I'm coming in for the second time, how about you?"

"I'm Yu Lin Lin." Lin Qiushi came up with a random name, "And the second time."

"Oh." Ruan Nan Candle nodded and said very gently, "Don't cry either, this place is scary, but you can get out alive, what's your name?"

The girl sobbed, "My name is Xu Xiao Orange." She had started crying about the time she entered, and now her eyes were red and swollen, "It's so scary here."

The others introduced themselves one after another, and with the middle-aged man outside, the number was seven in total, three of which were newcomers. Both Xu Xiao Orange and the other young boy were new to the door, Xu Xiao Orange was crying, while the other young boy was blue in the face and looked as if he might collapse at any moment.

Nguyen Nam Candle played a leading role in the group, and like the bear varnish from the last book, he briefly explained what everyone needed to do before suggesting to go inside the building first to see what was going on.

"What about him?" The old man had a man and a woman, the woman was an ordinary-looking young girl named Tang Yaoyao, who introduced herself by saying she was the third time she had entered the house, and she pointed to the middle-aged man who had fled back in a mess and was covered in blood, "Whatever happened to him?"

Ruan Nan Candle looked at the middle-aged man with a very cold attitude: "I don't care, you're in charge if you want to be in charge."

"Alright, then I don't care." Tang Yao Yao nodded her head.

The middle-aged man breathed heavily, seeing that everyone was planning to leave, he hurriedly followed up, his eyes were terrified, and he didn't know what he saw in the thick fog.

The building was a very old unit, with only one rickety old elevator. This elevator held a maximum of five people at a time, so it could only be divided into two groups, and everyone wanted to walk with veteran Ruan Nam Candle, so they got stuck at the door of the elevator.

Ruan Nan Candle saw the situation and said warmly, "Why don't we do this, I'll take a few veterans up first to see what's going on, you guys wait at the bottom, and I'll take the elevator down later to pick you up."

"Good." Xu Xiao Orange, who had been crying, finally stopped crying this time and looked at Ruan Nan Candle pitifully, "Sister, you must come down, I'm so scared."

"Mm, I will." Ruan Nam Candle echoed.

So Lin Qiushi Ruan Nan Candle, and the two remaining veterans, the four of them entered the elevator together.

The elevator is obviously overdue for use, with graffiti painted all around the elevator, including advertisements, curses and some unknown meanings.

The elevator's numbers were from one to fourteen, and Ruan Nan Candle had wanted to look at them one floor at a time, but found that one to thirteen floors couldn't be pressed, and only the number fourteen could be pressed to light up.

"It can only go to the fourteenth floor," Ruan Nan Candle said, "Let's go."

Lin Qiushi nodded.

According to Ruan Nan Candle, this Ben should not be very difficult, and he also said that he had taken the job without explaining what that job actually meant.

The elevator slowly rose, making a creaking sound.

None of the four of them said anything, their expressions even said heavy, and when the elevator doors opened, Lin Qiushi reflexively took a step backward, afraid that something would appear at the door. But nothing appeared, what was presented in front of Lin Qiushi was an old corridor, at the end of the corridor was a partially closed door, the sound of a TV was being emitted from the door, this occupant should be watching some TV program.

Ruan Nan Candle looked calm, and walked directly to the door and knocked on it.

"You guys are here." A middle-aged woman appeared behind the door, she was wearing an apron and seemed to be busy cooking, seeing the four people outside the door, she smiled, "Come in."

Ruan Nan Candle lifted her steps and entered the house.

Lin Qiushi and Tang Yaoyao followed behind him and walked in.

It was an old, old house with three rooms and two halls, and it looked quite spacious. Although the house looked old, one could tell that it had been very carefully cleaned, and not even a trace of dust could be seen in the more remote areas.

Lin Qiushi walked to the center of the living room and saw the old TV that was making sounds. It was playing an animation on the TV, and it was babbling noisily.

But what caught Lin Qiushi's eyes was not the TV, but the three little girls sitting on the sofa in front of the TV.

Their looks, in fact, were exactly the same. Apart from their looks, their clothes and hairstyles were also identical, and when they saw the four strangers, they just moved their eyes, seemingly not interested in the visitors in the slightest.

"This is my daughter." The middle-aged woman said, "Thank you for coming to their birthday in seven days."

Because of his experience with the last door, Lin Qiushi immediately grasped the point of the woman's speech, seven days later, attending the birthday, seemed to be the purpose of their coming to this door.

Knowing this purpose Lin Qiushi was relieved, attending a birthday or something was much better than being a coffin.

After the woman finished her speech, she took it upon herself to indicate that she was going to cook, then gave them a few keys and told them that the house next to them would be habitable.

Ruan Nan Candle put the keys in his arms and told them to wait upstairs for a while, he would go downstairs to pick up the newcomers.

Lin Qiushi and Tang Yao Yao nodded and watched as Ruan Nan Candle entered the elevator again.

"Is this the second time you've entered?" Tang Yao Yao asked.

Lin Qiushi nodded as he observed the triplets in the house, remembering the three sisters from the story of the Phil Summer Bird.

Tang Yaoyao saw that Lin Qiushi's soul was restless, so she rested and quietly watched the TV show.

A few minutes later, Ruan Nan Candle came up with the rest of the newcomers, not expecting that there was the middle-aged man covered in blood among them.

About as badly irritated as he had been in the black mist, the middle-aged man all looked very distraught now, and the blood on his face had dried up to an unpleasant sauce-black color.

"The condition has appeared." Ruan Nam Candle, "Stay here for seven days and attend all three triplets' birthdays." He put the key the middle-aged woman gave him in his hand, "Here are four keys to four rooms, you can choose as you see fit."

"Can't we stay together?" Newcomer Xu Xiao Orange stopped crying, but still looked like she was shivering and whispered, "If there are enough people, we don't have to be afraid."

Ruan Nan Candle looked at her without saying a word and took the key to the nearest room and inserted it in.

There was a soft creak and the door in front of her opened.

"Why is this house like this?" Xu Xiao Orange was shocked when she saw the scene behind the house, this house was not at all the normal type of room she had imagined, but rather just a single room, this single room only had one door and window, with a wooden bed placed in the very middle. At first glance, it simply looked like a neat coffin.

"The house is too small to live together," Ruan Nam Candle said, "Share it."

"I want to be with you." Xu Xiao Orange directly raised her hand, "Miss, I'll stay with you, I'm too scared."

She said that, but Ruan Nan Candle ignored her, instead she looked at Lin Qiushi and pointed at him, "You're with me."

Lin Qiushi: "Me, me?"

Ruan Nan Candle: "Mm."

The others all cast envious glances at him at the news....

Lin Qiushi: "... Don't stare at me, it's not something to be envious of, okay!

The author has something to say: Others: Lin Qiushi, you're a lucky guy.

People outside the door who know the truth: Ruan, you're a lucky man.

Lin Qiushi shed tears of sadness.
