Kaleidoscope of Death

In the eyes of others, it would be a real blessing for Lin Qiushi to share a room with such a beautiful woman as Ruan Nan Candle, but Lin Qiushi himself knew in his heart that Ruan Nan Candle could not be at all as gentle and lovely as he acted in this world.

"Let's go check out the other rooms first." Ruan Nan Candle, "Determine where everyone is staying."

The others nodded their heads.

The mistress of the house gave them a total of four keys, which corresponded to the four occupants of the fourteenth floor. Ruan Nan Candle turned around upstairs, opened all the doors that could be opened, and found that these rooms were basically the same, one door, one window and one bed, the house was as small as a coffin, and the floor height was very low, lying in bed felt like lying in a coffin.

"I want to take a shower." The middle-aged man who was in a very grumpy mood before suddenly spoke up, "Is there even a bathroom here?" He had blood all over his face now, and his eyes still had the taste of trepidation in them. But at least it was from steadying his emotions, not as naive as before, thinking it was just a prank.

"There's down, like at the end of the corridor." Lin Qiushi said, "I saw a public bathroom there when I came up, let's go over there later?" It was always a little uncomfortable to have a bloodied man standing next to you, and there was always the sickening smell of blood.

"Good." The middle-aged man nodded and introduced himself, saying that his name was Zeng Ruguo and he was a jewellery businessman, he spoke with some pride, and it seemed that he was indeed a self-conscious person in the real world. It was a pity that after coming to the door, reality became a handful of yellow dirt, those ghosts here wouldn't go soft for a moment because you had money.

"Let's share the room." Ruan Nan Candle said, "I'll be in a group with Yu Linlin, the rest of you are on your own."

The rest of the group looked at each other, and finally, after discussion, found their respective companions. Xu Xiao Orange and Tang Yaoyao, while the other two boys were about to be in the same room, while Zeng Ruguo was rightfully excluded by everyone. His face was livid, and he was so angry that he didn't speak for a long time, but no one here gave him face, so everyone pretended not to see.

Ruan Nanzhu's attitude towards him wasn't very bad, and even gently advised him to go and wash the blood off his body as soon as possible.

"Do I have to live alone?" Zeng Ruguo, though he didn't yet know that he was dead here and couldn't live in reality, had a vague sense of what was going on, and he shuddered, "What if something happened?"

Tang Yaoyao treated this middle-aged man very rudely: "Don't worry, those who are going to die will die sooner or later, and it's the same with whoever lives with them."

Zeng Ruguo wanted to say more, but seeing that no one had any intention of paying attention to him could only stop.

After everyone was divided into rooms, Ruan Nan Candle suggested they go to the roof to see if there was anything special.

Tang Yao Yao agreed.

The fourteenth floor of this building was the top floor, and further up was the rooftop. The door on the rooftop was hung with a large rusty lock that looked like it hadn't been used for a long time.

Lin Qiushi then looked inside the rooftop through the door and didn't see anything special: "Go downstairs and take a look, there doesn't seem to be anything upstairs."

"Let's wait until tomorrow when it's light to look." Tang Yaoyao suggested, "It's going to be dark soon, let's wash up and go to bed quickly."

"Can't we just get together and keep vigil with each other?" That young boy who entered the door for the first time brought up a problem that Lin Qiushi had also struggled with before, "There's a lot of strength in everyone, and we don't know what will happen at night if we're so spread out."

"No." Ruan Nan Candle said, "If we all get together, we will definitely fall asleep at some point, and as an old man, my advice to you is that the earlier you fall asleep, the safer it will be, and don't come out to see if anything happens at night."

The boy had to nod at the words to show that he knew.

"Go wash up first." Ruan Nan Candle said, "Take advantage of the early hour."

The time was six o'clock in the evening, and although it still counted as afternoon, the dark clouds in the sky covered the entire canopy, as if the world would fall into darkness in the next moment.

The four men in the group went to the communal bathhouse first, and Zeng Ruguo found a change of clothes in the room he was alone in and looked like he wanted to take a bath.

Lin Qiushi felt that a bath was too much trouble and planned to simply wash up and go back.

The others didn't seem to be planning to stay in the bathroom either, and their hands were moving in a hurry.

As Lin Qiushi washed his face, he observed the bathroom. This bathroom was uncomfortable, the floor was full of slippery stains, whether it was the walls or the squatting pit next to it, it gave off a dirty feeling. Because it was a little dark, the light on the ceiling came on. The light took on a dull yellow color that was cast on the bathroom, making everything around you feel as if it was an old photograph with a filter.

The two men who lived together had finished settling and were ready to go back, they called out to Lin Qiushi, "Yu Lin Lin, we're leaving first."

Lin Qiushi nodded, he had gotten almost done and grabbed his towel before planning to leave with them.

"Yu Linlin." Zeng Ruguo who was in the shower room but suddenly called out to him, "You're just leaving?"

Lin Qiushi said, "Mm." He also knew that Zeng Ruguo must be a little scared, "How much longer do you have? I'll wait for you for a while?"

Zeng Ruguo thanked him repeatedly.

Lin Qiushi then stood at the door of the bathroom, waiting for Zeng Ruguo to come out.

Each bathroom here had a small shower curtain, and behind the curtain was the showerhead. The bathroom was quiet, and only the sound of water running down could be heard.

"Why can't you get clean." After a while, Zeng Ruguo in the bathroom suddenly said, "How come the blood on my body can't be washed clean."

Lin Qiushi said, "What's wrong?"

Zeng Ruguo said, "It can't be cleaned..." his voice was terrified, concealing great fear, "It's all blood."

Lin Qiushi looked over in the direction of the bathroom where Zeng Ruguo was cowering, and although the lights were dim, he could clearly see that blood was flowing out from underneath Zeng Ruguo's feet, pouring down the groove into the drain. Even though Zeng Rukuo's body was full of blood, it was too strange that it still couldn't be washed clean after so long.

Zeng Ruguo was getting scared: "Still can't wash it clean-"

Lin Qiushi felt something and he said, "If you can't clean it, don't wash it, come out."

Zeng Ruguo suddenly stopped talking.

Lin Qiushi was about to ask a question when the thin shower curtain was suddenly pulled open by a pair of hands. Lin Qiushi saw Zeng Ruguo standing behind the shower curtain - he also understood why Zeng Ruguo would not be able to wash the blood off his body.

He saw a bloody piece of flesh lying on top of the shower nozzle, which looked like a baby's corpse, and the blood was dripping down the nozzle all the way to Zeng Rukuo's body - there was a hell of a lot of blood if it could be cleaned off the fucking body.

Lin Qiushi said, "Don't you dare wash it, come out!"

Zeng Ruguo saw that Lin Qiushi's expression was so ugly that he quickly grabbed a towel and ran out, not even being able to get his clothes.

As Zeng Ruguo ran outside, the lump of meat lying on the nozzle pole slowly raised its head, Lin Qiushi didn't dare to look, and quickly turned around and left the bathroom.

The two of them hurriedly ran out, just in time to meet Ruan Nam Candle standing in the hallway.

At this moment, Zeng Ruguo was still naked, his entire body was covered in blood, Ruan Nan Candle: "...What are you two doing in the bathroom for so long?"

Lin Qiushi: "I watched him take a shower!"

Ruan Nan Candle's expression was somewhat subtle: "...Your hobby is really special."

Lin Qiushi: "Where did you think?" He looked helpless and told Ruan Nan Candle what had happened in the bathroom, Ruan Nan Candle listened and looked towards Zeng Ruguo who was still shivering, "Hurry back and change your clothes, don't catch a cold."

Zeng Ruguo nodded and went back in a mess.

Ruan Nanzhu looked at his back with a dark face, Lin Qiushi saw his appearance thought he was thinking about something serious, just wanted to ask a question, then heard Ruan Nanzhu come, "It's too short."

Lin Qiushi: "Huh?"

Ruan Nan Candle: "It's fine, go back to sleep."

Lin Qiushi slowed down for a moment before he realized what Ruan Nanzhu's too-short sentence meant, and his expression twisted: "You're a girl, staring at someone there-"

Ruan Nan Candle: "Yeah." He lowered his voice, "A girl pulled out bigger than you, are you okay with that?"

Lin Qiushi: "......." it must be said that Ruan Nan Candle using his pretty face to say such words, really made Lin Qiushi's fragile heart to be shocked quite a bit.

Ruan Nan Candle was downright leathery and said that he slipped away, it was going to be dark and he had to go back to sleep quickly.

The two of them went back to the house one after the other and lay down on that wooden bed.

It had to be said that the room was too narrow, so narrow that it was a bit overwhelming, and Lin Qiushi could see the grey walls as soon as he turned over. The not-so-clean ceiling also seemed like it would press down at any moment. Ruan Nan Candle was as easy to fall asleep as ever, and in his own words, it was dark when he closed his eyes.

Lin Qiushi also closed his eyes and slowly fell into a deep sleep.

The author has something to say: Lin Qiushi: I can't compare to Ruan Nancandle in anything.

Ruan Nan Candle: You look better than me.

Lin Qiushi: ?
