Kaleidoscope of Death

Chapter 23 Collapse.

Ruan Nan Candle's words silenced everyone, although it sounded like a joke, but in such an atmosphere, there was always the feeling that such a joke would come true.

Xiao Yi's corpse disappeared for no apparent reason, and they were here for three days, four days before her birthday. Yesterday, when he died, my mother was crying like a baby, but she seemed to have recovered from her grief in just one day.

As to what she was working on, no one knew. Everyone was in a heavy mood, feeling that something was approaching, but at the same time, they couldn't think clearly about what that dangerous feeling was.

Tang Yao Yao felt that the grandmother and young man downstairs was the breakthrough, so she went downstairs with Zhang Xing Huo and the others, wanting to find out more. Ruan Nan Candle didn't go and was discussing something with Lin Qiushi in the house. Along with them were Xu Xiao Orange, Zeng Ru Guo. They both looked haggard, as if they had been frightened again.

There was a rustling in the kitchen, and the sound of a mother humming a song.

The bedroom door was closed, and the surviving twins were hiding in the house, not knowing what they were doing.

Zeng Ruguo, who had drunk too much water because he was nervous, suggested that he wanted to go to the bathroom, and also shifted his eyes to Lin Qiushi, which was filled with pleading.

"What's wrong?" Creeped out by his stare, Lin Qiushi said, "What do you mean you're looking at me like that."

"Little Brother Yu ah, it's that... "Zeng Ruguo also looked a bit embarrassed, but biting his teeth, he still blurted out the words, "Can you accompany me, I'm a bit scared."

There is only one public toilet here, the place where Lin Qiushi saw the baby's corpse, and when he saw Zeng Ruguo's worried look, he nodded, "Yes, I just happen to be going, let's go together."

Zeng Ruguo was happy and said yes.

So they went to the toilet together.

It was almost afternoon now, and although it was only about three o'clock, it was almost dusk outside. There was a window next to the toilet, through which you could see outside, and before Lin Qiushi entered the toilet, he took a look towards the outside and saw a heavy fog, not dissimilar to when they came.

Lin Qiushi quickly solved the problem and saw Zeng Ruguo squatting at the very back, so he said, "I'll wait for you outside."

"Good." Zeng Ruguo smiled apologetically.

When Lin Qiushi reached the door, he began to wait for Zeng Ruguo, he pulled out his phone to see if there was actually a signal in it, and thought for a moment that he didn't dare to call - he was afraid of hitting something strange.

Lin Qiushi had thought that Zeng Ruguo would come out soon, but after waiting for four or five minutes and there was still no movement inside, he suddenly felt a hint of something bad, and he smelled a faint fishy odor. This fishy smell Lin Qiushi had smelled countless times, and almost the next moment, he was able to determine that it was the smell of blood.

"Zeng Ruguo!!!" Lin Qiushi didn't dare to go in directly, but instead called out loudly to Zeng Ruguo's name at the door.

There was no response, and there was an unsettling silence inside the toilet.

Lin Qiushi hesitated for a moment, but he still lifted his steps and walked into the toilet, however, as soon as he walked in, he heard a sound that was hard to describe with words.

This sound Lin Qiushi had never heard before, it must be described, it was like something was hitting a hard object one by one, but the hard object wasn't particularly hard, because Lin Qiushi clearly heard the sound of cracking and shattering.

A thin layer of cold sweat broke out on Lin Qiushi's back as he called out, "Zeng Ruguo, are you still there?"

There was still no sound, and Lin Qiushi's heart instantly sank, knowing that Zeng Ruguo must be in mortal danger. And through the gap in the cubicle, he saw that the spot where Zeng Ruguo was was slowly dripping with blood, which was snaking down the gap in the floor tiles and was about to reach Lin Qiushi's feet as far as the eye could see, but he dodged it with extremely quick reflexes.

"Are you still there, Zeng Ruoku?" Lin Qiushi called out, but noticed that the blood beneath his feet seemed to be alive and began to chase after him, the speed was slow at first, but it was slowly speeding up, Lin Qiushi almost dodged and was stained by the blood.

When Lin Qiushi saw this scene, he no longer dared to stay here, and hurriedly ran out of the toilet and back to the house, "No, something has happened to Zeng Ruguo."

Ruan Nan Candle and Xu Xiao Orange both stopped talking and turned their heads, "What's going on?"

Lin Qiushi said, "I waited for him outside, but I never heard a sound, and when I went in, I saw blood on the ground." In the meantime, he said, "The blood seemed to be following people and kept flowing towards me, so I didn't dare stay long and rushed out."

Ruan Nan Candle said, "Fresh blood? You're not tainted, are you?"

Lin Qiushi shook his head.

"Oh, that's fine." Ruan Nan Candle, "Let's go over there together, we can't go to the bathroom for days afterwards."

Xu Xiao Orange's face began to deteriorate again at Lin Qiushi's description, according to Ruan Nan Candle she was a star acting in reality, and it wasn't the first time she had entered this world, so this look of fear, was it a real reaction, or was it an act, Lin Qiushi was distracted for a moment.

"What are you thinking about." His distracted look was seen by Ruan Nan Candle.

"Nothing." Lin Qiushi shook his head.

"You're getting used to it." Ruan Nan Candle said, "Good ability to adapt."

He walked at the front, not much surprise or fear in his expression, as if he had already anticipated Zeng Ru Guo's death. Lin Qiushi actually felt similar to Ruan Nam Candle inside, and although he didn't know the reason, he had a gut feeling that Zeng Ruoku would be the first to die.

Ruan Nan Candle entered the toilet and went straight inside, he observed the ground and urged them, "Don't step on the blood."

But in just a few minutes, the bright red blood on the floor solidified into a kind of sauce black, as if it had already dried up after a long time.

Ruan Nan Candle stepped over the blood and saw Zeng Ru Guo's corpse, and with a soft tsk, he said, "Dead."

Then Lin Qiushi also saw the toilet, and Zeng Ruguo was indeed dead, and dead beyond death.

His entire body was lying on the floor, his head looked like it had been smashed by something, mixed with red blood, the picture was bloody to the extreme.

Xu Xiao Orange covered her mouth and started to feel nauseous again.

Lin Qiushi, however, remembered the kind of banging sound he had just heard at the door of the toilet, and at this point, he finally understood what that sound represented - it was someone smashing Zeng Ruguo's head with a hammer.

"Well..." said Ruan Nam Candle, "Do you guys feel that something is missing?"

Lin Qiushi said, "What's missing?" He finally found what was missing upon closer inspection, "Where's his...his brains?"

Ruan Nan Candle: "Well, no."

Lin Qiushi fell silent.

Zeng Ruguo's head was smashed, almost on the verge of not being able to see its original shape, but the brains that should have been paste was now gone, leaving only broken bones and rotten flesh spread out on the ground in a mess.

"Fuck." Lin Qiushi finally understood something, and he cursed a rare swear word, "Are we just eggs?"

Ruan Nam Candle: "Probability."

"Then what did he take the brains for?" Lin Qiushi shuddered at the thought of a man lying on top of Zeng Ruguo's body, carefully cracking open his skull, then taking the brains and then cracking his head open, "I don't understand."

"It's definitely useful," Ruan Nan Candle said, "What exactly it's useful for is yet to be proven." He said, "Let's go."

"What about the body?" Lin Qiushi asked.

Ruan Nan Candle said, "Don't touch it, just let him stay here." He laughed calmly, "Maybe it will be gone later."

It turned out to be just as he said, and by the time the people who went to the first and fourth floor returned, Zeng Ru Guo's body had already disappeared.

Only some dried blood was left congealed on the top of the floor, proving that what they had just seen was indeed not an illusion.

"Zeng Ruguo is dead?" Tang Yaoyao was surprised when she heard the news, "How did he die?"

Lin Qiushi briefly explained the process.

"Well, death is death." Tang Yaoyao actually had a calm attitude, apparently all of them old people were already used to death, she laughed to herself, "He's also lucky, the average person would have been cold by the time they rushed into the fog, and let him survive for so many days."

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

"Where's the body? I'd like to check it out." Tang Yao Yao said.

"It's in the toilet." Lin Qiushi said.

However, after waiting for the group to enter the toilet, they found that the corpse was gone, and the place where the squat was was clean, with only a little residual blood left over.

"It's gone?" Tang Yaoyao said, "The body was taken by who-"

"I don't know." Lin Qiushi shook his head, "We've been in the house and didn't pay attention to the toilet, besides, he definitely didn't die by human hands, it's easy for those things to take away the body, right?"

Ruan Nam Candle looked twice towards the toilet hole and said, "It should have been pulled away from the toilet hole."

"How so?" Tang Yao Yao was confused.

"There's human tissue in the cave." Ruan Nan Candle said, "There's also hair."

It was only after careful observation that everyone realized that there really were broken human tissues attached to the inside of the narrow hole, as Ruan Nan Candle said, as well as some black hair. If this was the real world, pulling a person's corpse out of the toilet hole would be impossible, but Nai Nai couldn't explain this world with common sense.

However, after a period of time, Lin Qiushi did discover that Ruan Nanzhu was incredibly observant, and many of the details they hadn't noticed were all pointed out by Ruan Nanzhu, if not for him, then this trip to the door would have been much more dangerous.

"What about you guys? Did you get any news downstairs?" Ruan Nan Candle looked at Tang Yao Yao.

"No." Tang Yao Yao looked a bit irritated, "That young man on the fourth floor slammed the door after he opened it and saw it was me, and you had to do it - why should they all be women to open it for you?"

Lin Qiushi heard this and quietly thought, of course it's because Ruan Nan Candle is good-looking... The boys present probably thought so, but everyone didn't dare to say anything, their faces still looked equally confused.

"Maybe it's because I'm taller." Ruan Nan Candle also didn't reveal the truth and said lightly.

"That old lady is also old and confused." Tang Yaoyao said, "I observed that there doesn't seem to be anyone else in her house, she's the only one left, she can't understand anything we ask, she just keeps saying that she has eaten, who cares if she has eaten or not?"

When Ruan Nan Candle heard this, he looked slightly moved, but said nothing.

"What do we do, I don't think we have a clue now, do we have to wait until their birthday?" Tang Yao Yao said.

"Whether or not you can wait is the biggest problem, I see Zeng Ru Guo is the start." Zhang Xinghuo said, "Usually when someone dies, as soon as you start this leader, things start to get troublesome."

Everyone was silent on the news, but Xu Xiao Orange was crying again.

Tang Yaoyao was annoyed by her crying and said can you stop crying, crying if it works everyone doesn't have to die.

Xu Xiao Orange said sorry in a pitiful voice.

"All right." Ruan Nanzhu Dao, "There are some things, it's useless to be anxious." He said, "What's due will always come."

Tang Yao Yao sighed, "It can only be done."

Because of Zeng Ruguo's death, the atmosphere among the crowd was heavy.

But they were not happy, but the mother of the triplets seemed to be in a good mood, and cooked a few more meat dishes in the evening - everyone looked at those meat dishes without touching their chopsticks.

The women didn't mind, and ate with relish, but Xu Xiaogang was the least able to bear it, nibbling two bites of bread before leaving the table.

The newcomer Zhong Chengjian, who had been quiet, also intended to return to the house, but met the twins standing at the door. The twins had always been haunted and had no idea how long they had been standing in the doorway.

"Do you know me?" One of the girls suddenly opened her mouth to Zhong Chengjian.

Zhong Chengjian was impatient to hear this question and said, "You guys get out of my way." His first time in this world, he was made to be on the verge of collapse by the bizarre environment and sudden death, and when he saw these two children, he wanted to leave quickly, how could he have the heart to answer their questions.

"Do you know me?" The little girl in the skirt, however, was unforgiving and continued with her problem.

Lin Qiushi was about to step forward to help, but that Zhong Chengjian directly reached out his hand and pushed the little girl away, cursing profanities with his mouth, looking angry and leaving.

The little girl was heavily pushed against the wall, and she slowly straightened up, her black eyes staring at the direction Zhong Chengjian had left.

The sister standing next to her lips wiggled, not knowing what to say before a strange smile appeared on the girl's face.

Lin Qiushi paused and looked at Ruan Nan Candle.

Ruan Nam Candle shook her head.

"This person usually doesn't like to talk, but he has quite a temper." Tang Yaoyao also disliked Zhong Chengjian's attitude a bit, she said, "Just like the triplets and still dares to mess with him like that..." she nibbled on a piece of dry bread and sighed without nourishment, "When we go out, I'll definitely have a good meal. "

Who wouldn't want to go out, who wouldn't want to go back to the smoke-filled reality, except that reality never does what one wants, and they have to stay here for days.

The darkness brought by the night always brought anxiety and fear to people.

Lin Qiushi remembered what Ruan Nam Candle had once said, when he saw Zhong Chengjian and two of the triplets clashing with each other, he guessed that something would happen tonight.

"Maybe I guessed wrong about the death conditions." Ruan Nan Candle knew what Lin Qiushi was thinking and lay down beside him to comfort him, "Your heart is too soft, in this world, it is necessary to give up something."

Lin Qiushi didn't say anything, just sighed softly, "I could have avoided it..."

Ruan Nan Candle: "You don't have to be responsible for their lives."

Lin Qiushi smiled bitterly at the words, "Where can I take responsibility, I just thought that it would be good if a few less people died." He still relied on Ruan Nan Candle to pick up his life, so naturally, he wouldn't be arrogant enough to think that he could heroically protect everyone.

"Mm." Ruan Nan Candle said, "Life and death have their own destinies." But if Lin Qiushi didn't care at all about other people's lives and was a cowardly, selfish ghost, he wouldn't look at Lin Qiushi as a different person.

Some things were inherently contradictory.

The narrow house, dimly lit, went dark after Lin Qiushi pressed the switch.

Because of what happened last night, they slept in a different direction, not daring to point their heads at the wall against the corridor anymore.

"I'm counting on you at night." Ruan Nan Candle said very straightforwardly before going to bed, "I'm like a pig when I fall asleep, I can't hear anything unless someone wakes me up."

Lin Qiushi: "...for the first time he felt that hearing well is a painful thing, and Ruan Nan Candle is like Ruan Nan Candle can't hear anything, isn't it good, sleep until dawn.

Both of them thought that Zhong Chengjian was dead tonight, and as a result, nothing actually happened in the night, and the next day when Zhong Chengjian walked to the table next to the table to eat breakfast, everyone cast a strange look at him.

"What are you guys looking at me like that for?" Zhong Chengjian asked strangely.

Everyone remained silent and lowered their heads to continue eating.

Today's breakfast was porridge and dry bread, and after eating for several days in a row, Lin Qiushi was now really losing his appetite at the sight of dry bread, but he still had to eat.

Zhong Chengjian sat down and started to drink after taking the bowl.

However, he didn't take two sips, but his movements suddenly stopped, his expression changed drastically, and he covered his mouth with his hand and coughed heavily.

"What's wrong?" Tang Yaoyao, who was sitting next to him, was shocked.

"Cough, cough, cough, cough, what is this thing-" Zhong Chengjian vomited the porridge on the ground, but the porridge was stained red with blood, he used his hand to snap a few times in his mouth and took out a slender object.

The crowd sucked in a breath of cold air when they saw it, it was a thumb-sized needle with two pointed ends, stained with blood. It was fortunate that Zhong Chengjian didn't swallow it directly, or else he would have to cut through his esophagus and die here. But even though he found it, he still had a wound poked out of his mouth by the needle, and was bleeding out.

"Fuck!!!" Zhong Chengjian was on fire and threw the needle on the floor, "Who put that in my bowl!"

No one spoke, only silence spread.

"The porridge was prepared by that woman." Tang Yaoyao said, "It was set up before we arrived, and the seats are casual."

"No." Ruan Nanzhu Dao, "Zhong Chengjian is usually the one who comes last." Because he was the last to come, in the end, everyone used to save the outermost seat for him, "This person's target is Zhong Chengjian."

"So the needle was put there by that woman?" Tang Yao Yao was confused.

Ruan Nan Candle stared at the blood on the floor: "Maybe."

Zhong Chengjian was trembling with anger and rushed to the kitchen intending to seek an explanation from the woman.

Faced with the exuberantly angry Zhong Chengjian, the woman's demeanor was calm, she wore an apron and held a soup spoon in her hand, saying, ""I don't understand what you're saying."

"Did you put a needle in my bowl?" Zhong Chengjian spoke in a vague tone, pointing at his bloodied mouth, "You want to kill me?"

The woman looked at him indifferently, a look that looked like death.

People rushed over and advised Zhong Chengjian not to get too excited, and Zhang Xinghuo even held him back so that he wouldn't start a confrontation with the woman.

"You're all cowards!!!" Zhong Chengjian, however, was enraged. Coming to this world has been suppressed anger and fear at this time completely erupted, no one thought that his next action was actually to rush to the edge of the case and pick up the knife that the woman often used, "What the hell ah God, all kill not finished!!!" He wielded his strength and slashed down directly towards the woman.

Everyone was stunned by this sudden scene, Ruan Nan Candle was the fastest to react and grabbed Lin Qiushi and Xu Xiao Orange who were standing in front of him and backed away, but Tang Yaoyao and the others didn't react and were directly splattered with blood.

"Ahhhhh!!!" The woman was slashed and let out a miserable scream, and her entire body fell to the ground, instantly out of breath.

"Kill you, kill you!!!" Zhong Chengjian's eyes were crimson red, as if he was possessed, as he slashed and slashed the woman in front of him without a human form.

Only when his strength failed did he gasp and sit on the ground, the madness in his eyes gradually faded away, leaving only panic and confusion as he weakly trembled, "I... I killed someone?"

"Zhong Chengjian you're a psychopath!!!" Tang Yaoyao's sharp voice rang out, "Do you know what you've done-"

"Did I kill someone?" Zhong Chengjian's voice was cryptic.

"The point isn't that you killed someone, it's whether you killed a person or not." Although Tang Yaoyao dodged behind, her body was still splattered with blood, she looked at Zhong Chengjian and said angrily, "Do you believe that she'll come back for you at night?"

Zhong Chengjian slowly stood up from the ground, looking like his spirit was on the verge of collapse, he repeated I killed, I killed, and loosened the knife in his hand.

"That's why I hate newcomers." Ruan Nan Candle rested her chin on Lin Qiushi's shoulder and whispered, "The nerves are as fine as a hair, one who doesn't watch closely is going to get into big trouble."

Lin Qiushi said, "What happens when you kill the NPC?"

Ruan Nan Candle said, "It won't really be anything." He paused, "It's all death anyway, it's just a slightly miserable way to die."

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

The author has something to say: Nguyen Nam Candle: He's too fine nerve is not good, do you prefer thick or thin?

Lin Qiushi: Of course it's thick.

Ruan Nanzhu: Hehehehe, I'm just thick.

Lin Qiushi: ........
