Kaleidoscope of Death

Some things, once started, can never be taken back.

The murder of Xiao Yi seems to be an overture that opens the curtain of death. Zeng Ruguo and Zhong Chengjian died one after another in just two days, but the scythe of death did not stop there. The day after the woman's resurrection, a fourth victim appears.

Only it wasn't one of them who died, but Xiao X, one of the triplets.

This time it was Xu Xiao Orange who found the body of Ten. As soon as she entered the bathroom, she ran out screaming that someone had died again, again.

"Who's dead?" Tang Yao Yao asked.

"I don't know, it feels like those two little girls." Xu Xiao Orange stared, her reaction to seeing the corpses had calmed down a lot, at least she wasn't throwing up nonstop, "I didn't dare look too much, I just got a glimpse and ran out."

So everyone went to the bathroom and saw the bodies scattered in the toilet.

Similar to Xiao Yi who had been hacked to death with a knife, Xiao X's corpse was also in a messy state, it could be described as having pieces of corpses flying around.

Lin Qiushi briefly examined the scene and confirmed that Xiaozuo was dead beyond repair.

Ruan Nanzhu didn't say anything and stood silently beside him.

Lin Qiushi asked him in a low voice what he was thinking about.

"Nothing." Ruan Nam Candle said, "I'm just curious how her mother will react this time when she sees this scene."

Everyone looked ugly at the thought of that woman.

As soon as Ruan Nam Candle mentioned the woman, she appeared in front of the toilet. This time, she didn't cry and looked very calm. With a mop and pockets in her hands, she began to lower her head and slowly clean up her daughter's body.

Mime like, with only the sticky sound of the mop dragging on the blood, the woman moved expertly to put all the body parts into the bag and dragged away in silence.

"I feel very uncomfortable." Tang Yao Yao's face was pale, "What about you guys?"

"Me too." Chang Starfire said, "Are we really going to live to see that day?"

There were still two days until the birthday, but they were already living like a year.

No one could answer Zhang Xinghuo's question, in such a world, the lives of the crowd were not guaranteed in the slightest, and surviving seemed to be purely based on luck.

In the afternoon, Tang Yaoyao felt ill and went back to rest early.

Lin Qiushi remembered what had happened yesterday, so he politely reminded her to be careful.

Tang Yaoyao didn't take Lin Qiushi's words to heart and casually nodded her head and turned around to leave, Xu Xiao Orange watching her back to stop talking.

"What's wrong?" Lin Qiushi saw Xu Xiao Orange's appearance and asked questions.

"Nothing." Xu Xiaoliang said, "I just think it might be safer for everyone to stay together."

Zhang Xinghuo said, "There's nothing safe or unsafe, even if we're all together now, we'll have to separate at night."

Rather so, Lin Qiushi sighed.

Everyone was in a terrible mood and didn't have much desire to chat.

After a simple dinner, Ruan Nan Candle said she was tired, so she pulled Lin Qiushi and went back to the coffin house.

"What's wrong?" Lin Qiushi asked, "Why are you in such a hurry today."

Ruan Nanzhu said, "People want to stay with you for a while..."

Lin Qiushi: "...speak human language."

Ruan Nanzhu: "I think I know where the door is."

Lin Qiushi was shocked: "You know where the door is?"

"It's just a guess," Ruan Nam Candle said, "I'm going to verify that it's dangerous, so you..."

"I'll go with you." Lin Qiushi knew what Ruan Nanzhu was going to say and he interrupted him, "I can't help much, but at least the two of us have something to look out for each other." He pursed his lips and lowered his voice, "I know I'm weak right now, but if something happens to you..."

Ruan Nan Candle seemed to be smiling: "That's right, if something happens to me, you'll be a widower."

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

Ruan Nan Candle: "I won't allow you to find another woman."

Lin Qiushi was convinced and said big brother can we stop it.

Ruan Nan Candle reached out and slapped Lin Qiushi's ass and said, "Okay, let's go."

Lin Qiushi: ".......you really are yawning.

A few minutes later, the two appeared on the roof of the building. There was still a heavy large lock hanging from the roof, the lock was rusty and should have not been used for a long time. But compared to before, Lin Qiushi noticed that there was a little something extra on the lock, like someone had opened it, especially the location of the lock hole, which had marks from friction.

"Someone came to the top floor?" Lin Qiushi immediately thought of the door that couldn't be opened in the fairy tale, and he said, "Is this the door?"

"Maybe." Ruan Nan Candle said, "I'm not sure, so I'm going to go up there and you help me look out here."

Lin Qiushi nodded.

When Ruan Nan Candle pulled out his hairpin, he started to open the lock, he was really good at this, and opened the big lock in three clicks.

The lock fell to the ground with a click, and the iron door was slowly pulled open by Ruan Nan Candle, making a slight creaking sound.

The view from the rooftop was also revealed to the two as the iron door was pulled open. Although it was already dark outside, Lin Qiushi could still barely see what was happening on the rooftop. Only the rooftop was filled with countless black cloth bags that were so familiar, Lin Qiushi had only just seen them this afternoon - the body shroud bags that women used to hold the bodies of the triplets.

Yet now there were dozens of these bags in front of his eyes.

"Tsk." Ruan Nan Candle tsked softly and turned his head to look at Lin Qiushi, "We seem to have gotten into trouble ah."

Lin Qiushi: "Huh?"

Ruan Nan Candle said, "What would happen if it wasn't the three sisters who opened that door, but the egg."

Before Lin Qiushi spoke, he saw Ruan Nan Candle lift his step and step into the rooftop, "But since we're all here..."

Lin Qiushi: ".......friend do you think you are here to travel, God damn it all, are you going to buy some souvenirs back ah.

Ruan Nanzhu went up to the rooftop and looked left and right as if he was looking for something.

Lin Qiushi saw him turn around on the rooftop, and finally his footsteps stopped at a corner. That corner was piled with black cloth bags, making people feel like they didn't want to get close.

Lin Qiushi stood in the doorway to keep a lookout for Ruan Nan Candle and watched as he bent down and began to search for something on the cloth bags. However, at this moment, he heard slight footsteps that seemed to be coming in this direction.

"Nan Candle! Someone's coming!!!" Lin Qiushi shouted in a low voice, "Come out quickly-"

Ruan Nanzhu hmmmed, but didn't move.

The sound of footsteps was getting closer and closer, Lin Qiushi was rushed out in a cold sweat on his forehead, although he didn't know who was coming, he always had a feeling that it was best not to let anyone else know about the fact that they were on the rooftop.

"Here we go." It seemed that Ruan Nan Candle had finally found what he was looking for, which was why he got up and came over, and it was good that he acted quickly and flew to the door, then pulled the iron door and padlocked it, the whole action in one go.

And the sound of footsteps also reached the downstairs.

Lin Qiushi was smart enough to take Ruan Nan Candle's hand and push him against the wall, then stuck close to Ruan Nan Candle and acted as if they were making out.

"Who?" The footsteps reached the side, and only then did Lin Qiushi turn his head, his expression carrying the impatience of being disturbed, "Who's there?"

No one spoke.

After Ruan Nan Candle gave Lin Qiushi a look, the two of them got up and headed downstairs, however they didn't see anyone downstairs, as if the footsteps they had just heard were nothing more than an illusion.

"No one?" Lin Qiushi Dao.

Ruan Nan Candle shook his head and pointed at the corner.

Lin Qiushi took a look in the direction he pointed, only to find that there was an extra stain of blood in the corner, it looked like something had dragged across the floor, the only thing Lin Qiushi could think of was the black body wrapping bag.

"Fine." Ruan Nan Candle said, "Lin Lin, you're quick enough to react."

Lin Qiushi: "It's okay." He actually had sweat all over his hands and casually wiped them twice, "What did you see?"

Ruan Nam Candle said, "Go back and talk."

So they went back to the coffin room.

They didn't dare to speak too loudly because the soundproofing here was too poor. Ruan Nan Candle leaned against Lin Qiushi's side and lowered his voice as low as possible, saying, "Found the door."

"Found it?" Lin Qiushi didn't expect this to go so well, "On the roof?"

"Yes, it's on the floor at the top of the stairs, covered by a body wrap," Ruan Nam Candle said, "I guess the key will show up on my birthday, so I'll have to take my chances then."

"Hmm." For some reason, Lin Qiushi always felt particularly relieved when Ruan Nan Candle was around, and now that he had discovered the way out, he always felt like he could breathe a sigh of relief.

"Sleep." Ruan Nan Candle said, "Stay up for a while longer, then we'll go out."

The next morning, everyone was gathered in the living room.

Since Tang Yaoyao was also covered in blood, Lin Qiushi paid special attention to her and found that she didn't have any accidents and joined everyone for breakfast on time.

"I want to go downstairs today." Ruan Nan Candle said, "There should still be information on those two people downstairs."

"I'll join you." Lin Qiushi said.

Tang Yaoyao, however, said that she didn't want to go anymore, she had been running downstairs for the previous two days and hadn't gotten any information, so she either had to eat the closed door or couldn't communicate. And the worst part was that this elevator still couldn't go down, she had to run the stairs for more than ten floors, and every time she ran it felt like she was in a horror movie.

"Then you guys are up there, Yu Linlin and I will go down." Ruan Nan Candle.

"I want to be with you guys." Xu Xiao Orange said quickly, she looked at Ruan Nan Candle timidly, "Sister Zhu Meng, is it okay?"

"Whatever." Ruan Nan Candle stated indifferently.

So the three of them got up and walked towards the door, but as they walked Lin Qiushi noticed that the bedroom door was open a crack, which revealed a pair of eyes that seemed to be the last of the remaining triplets, Little Earth, who was secretly checking them out.

But when her eyes met with Lin Qiushi's, she immediately moved away and the door closed again.

In the meantime, Lin Qiushi saw the situation.

Climbing to the fourth floor on the fourteenth floor and not being able to take the elevator was a painful thing in the end. In particular, the stairwell was dark and narrow, and it also carried the characteristic damp smell of the old building.

"When will I be able to get out." Xu Xiao Orange asked this question as she descended the stairs, "Sister Zhu Meng, I'm so scared every day."

"Soon." Ruan Nanzhu said, "Just stay up for two more days."

Xu Xiaorang looked haggard and nodded her head.

Lin Qiushi looked at her appearance, but he was a bit curious, Ruan Nan Candle had said that she had taken the job and was still a big star in reality. I just didn't know in what way Ruan Nan Candle took the job and how she connected with Xu Xiao Orange on the line.

"Here it is." While Lin Qiushi was thinking about the problem, they had already reached the fourth floor, but as soon as they left the stairwell on the fourth floor, they smelled a strong smell of blood, the fishy smell was so strong that even those with insensitive noses might be able to smell it clearly.

"What's that smell, it's disgusting." Xu Xiao Orange covered her nose and fanned it with her hand.

"The smell of blood." Lin Qiushi could be said to be familiar with this smell, and he walked in front of it and immediately saw the occupant at the end of the corridor.

"Fuck." After seeing the condition of that occupant, Lin Qiushi involuntarily cursed an obscenity.

Only the door of that occupant was wide open, and the doorway was sprinkled with bright red blood, which had a jet-like appearance and was now condensed on the ground.

The three of them didn't say anything and stepped forward to the door of that household.

"Anyone?" Lin Qiushi called out at the door without hope.

As he expected, there was no response from the house, he stepped over the blood and took a look towards the house and found that the entire house was dark. He took out his phone and turned on his flashlight, shining its light on the house.

Although he was already mentally prepared, Lin Qiushi involuntarily took a step back when the onlooker's light illuminated a bloody corpse.

"Dead." Ruan Nan Candle stepped into the house.

All the windows in this house were boarded up, so no light could be seen, the house was quite tidy, and the owner of the house was the young man who had opened the door for them a few days ago.

At this time, he had already lost the features of life, his body slumped on the sofa, his head facing upwards, his facial expression very frightened.

"The eyes were gouged out." Ruan Nam Candle said.

Lin Qiushi walked behind Ruan Nam Candle and took a look towards the corpse, and found that the man's eyes were gone, leaving only two large, blood-soaked holes. It reminded him of Zeng Ruguo whose skull had been chiseled and Zhong Chengjian whose flesh and bones had been dug out.

"Why did they suddenly die?" Lin Qiushi said, "Is there something wrong?"

Without saying a word, Ruanan Candle went to a nearby wall to find a switch for the house lights and pressed it, and the overhead light came on.

"There's blood on the window as well." With plenty of light, it was much easier to observe, Lin Qiushi noticed something strange in the house, he saw blood all over the top of the sealed windows, the blood shouldn't be from the deceased as he was at least two or three meters away from the windows.

"Do you remember if there was blood at their door?" Ruan Nan Candle said, "I thought before that the blood might be warding off evil spirits, but now I think..."

"Is someone trying to kill them?" Lin Qiushi suddenly realized, "Someone deliberately splashed blood on their doorstep?"

"Hmm." Ruan Nan Candle nodded.

"Did this person die for Tang Yaoyao." Lin Qiushi remembered something else, Tang Yaoyao was also covered in blood but she had survived the night safely, he had thought that she had escaped, but he hadn't expected to see another deceased person after going downstairs.

"It should be." Ruan Nan Candle.

"Let's go back to the first floor and take a look." Lin Qiushi thought of the old grandmother downstairs and wanted to know what was going on there.

"Let's go." Ruan Nan Candle agreed.

They left the fourth floor and went to the first floor, where they saw the closed door. As Ruan Nan Candle had deduced, the door on the first floor was closed, but something new had also appeared - fresh blood had been splashed on the doorway, which hadn't even solidified, and at first glance it looked like it had literally just been gotten on.

Ruan Nan Candle reached out and knocked on the door.

They hadn't even expected the person inside to respond, but who knew that a moment later, the old man actually opened the door for them. She half-lidded her eyes and surveyed the three of them with cloudy eyes, mumbling something the whole time.

Lin Qiushi didn't need to hear it to know that she must have been repeating that one sentence, "I've eaten."

He hadn't paid much attention to the old lady's repeated words before, but now that he thought about it, it was somehow creepy.

Why did she keep repeating that she'd eaten, and who was trying to feed her? What to eat? And though she was old and confused, she reflexively kept refusing.

"What don't you want to eat, old lady?" Lin Qiushi asked a question.

The old lady was actually silent for two seconds after this question was asked, then she said in a hoarse voice, "The cake has been eaten."

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

"Don't eat, don't eat." The old lady's mouth was not invited, so she was about to raise her hand to close the door, but Ruan Nan Candle reached out and pulled the iron door, saying warmly, "Old man, won't you go to this year's birthday party?"

When the old man heard the four words birthday party, his body actually shook, and his cloudy eyes revealed a strange look before he said a moment later, "No go or no go."

Ruan Nan Candle said, "Why don't you go?"

The old man said, "The ones who went haven't come back yet, I have to wait for them." After she finished pronouncing the words, she began to repeat not eating again, and no matter what else Ruan Nanzhu asked, she couldn't ask anything else.

In desperation, Ruan Nan Candle had no choice but to let go and let the door close.

But although it was only a few words, it had confirmed their suspicions that there was indeed a reason why the building was empty, and the reason seemed to be the birthday of the triplet sisters in the fourteenth floor.

"None of the ones who attended the birthday survived?" Lin Qiushi analyzed, "But isn't it a paradox that all the world asks of us is to wait seven days and attend their birthdays after seven days?"

Nguyen Nam Candle said, "The world of the Gate does not set up deadlines, and attending a birthday may not be a requirement for death."

"Then what is it?" Lin Qiushi knitted his brows.

"For the time being, we don't know." Ruan Nan Candle said, "We can only wait."

As they discussed, they returned to the 14th floor.

When Lin Qiushi entered, he saw Tang Yaoyao sitting on the sofa with an indifferent look, and Zhang Xinghuang looked bad next to him, the two of them didn't greet each other when they saw them back, not even saying a word.

"What's happened?" Xu Xiao Orange asked timidly.

"It's fine." Tang Yaoyao said, "That girl just now came to trouble us."

"Trouble with you guys?" Ruan Nan Candle, "How so?"

"She insisted I say her name" said Tang Yaoyao, "Where the fuck do I know, all three look exactly the same, who knows which one died, bad luck." After she said this, she spat in some annoyance, "Zhang Xing Huo also said don't get angry with children, this is a child? I think it's a brat."

Zhang Xing Huo said, "Would you stop that attitude? If she were a brat wouldn't you die faster with that attitude towards her!"

"It's not certain who will die first!" Tang Yaoyao said irritably, "I really don't know what's going on in your head, can you recognize it?"

Zhang Xinghuang fell silent.

It seemed as if Tang Yao Yao hadn't been in a good mood since she had been covered in blood yesterday, and this was especially true now.

"The remaining one is Little Earth, don't say wrong next time." Ruan Nan Candle said very calmly, "This could be a condition of death, we just went down and saw the man on the fourth floor dead."

Then Lin Qiushi told us about the situation on the fourth floor and also shared some of the information that the old man gave.

Who knew that after listening to the information he shared, Tang Yaoyao's attitude was even worse, she stood up and circled around the room like a trapped animal, her expression hideous.

"Tang Yao Yao, what's wrong with you?" Xu Xiao Orange saw her appearance and asked with some worry.

"Don't worry about me." Tang Yaoyao said, "I'm fine!!!" As she spoke, she rubbed her arms vigorously.

It wasn't cold here, everyone was wearing short sleeves and jackets, Tang Yaoyao was also wearing a t-shirt inside and a singlet over it, the range of movement of her hands was very large and rough.

No one said anything, everyone sensed that something was wrong with Tang Yaoyao.

"Tang Yaoyao, what's wrong with your hand..." asked Xu Xiao Orange in the end, who couldn't hold back and asked in a low voice.

Tang Yaoyao said furiously, "What's wrong with me? I'm not much, I'm fine and dandy!!!" After she said this, she jerked up her sleeve in a smooth manner, then continued rubbing her arm.

But after she jerked up her sleeve, Lin Qiushi saw a smear on her hand.

It was a red mark, something like blood splattered on it, and Tang Yaoyao rubbed her hand vigorously, like it was itching there.

Then, Lin Qiushi saw that the red mark began to gradually spread, gradually spreading from her small arm to her shoulder. Everyone's eyes widened, obviously seeing this horrifying scene, but Tang Yaoyao felt nothing and still continued her actions until she noticed the gazes of the crowd.

"What are you guys looking at me for?" Tang Yao Yao, whose cheeks were also starting to turn blood red, asked such a confused question.

The author has something to say: ruan nan candle: come all....

Lin Qiushi: Where is your hand touching?
