Kaleidoscope of Death

Chapter 29 - The Third Door

Ruan Nam Candle slept in the hospital for a whole day before waking up the next day.

During this time, Lin Qiushi stayed by his side, worried about any accident. Several people from the villa came to the hospital and left the room only after they were informed that Nguyen Nam Candle was fine.

When Ruan Nanzhu woke up, Lin Qiushi was watching the news on his mobile phone. I don't know if it's his illusion or what, but there were a lot of accidents in the past two days, and there were a lot of strange deaths, as well as a few fires in the elevator and the elevator got stuck in the air and three people were burned alive.

After watching the news, Lin Qiushi looked up to see Ruan Nanzhu, but he was already awake, but he didn't speak or move after waking up, just staring at the ceiling above his head in silence.

"Nam Candle!" Lin Qiushi saw that he was very worried about his state, cautiously calling his name.

Ruan Nan Candle didn't say anything, his eyes slowly moved to Lin Qiushi's, those black eyes were an emotion that Lin Qiushi couldn't understand.

"Are you thirsty?" Lin Qiushi saw that his lips were a little dry, so he stepped forward to help him up, then handed the cup filled with warm water to his mouth, "The doctor said there's nothing wrong with your body, just that you're too tired, just rest for a few days."

Ruan Nanzhu swallowed the water in one gulp and closed his eyes again before saying, "Got it."

Lin Qiushi said, "Are you hungry? I'll go get you a bowl of porridge."

"Not hungry." Ruan Nam Candle said, "You're sitting right next to me, where's my phone?"

Lin Qiushi handed Ruan Nanzhu's phone to him and saw him dial the number. Not knowing what was said on the other end of the phone, Ruan Nam Candle hmmmed twice and hung up casually.

"Cheng Qianli's fifth door prompt came out." Ruan Nan Candle said, "You'll go in with him in five days."

"Good." Lin Qiushi was willing to listen to Ruan Nan Candle's arrangements.

"I'll see what's going on over here and bring you two with me if I can." Ruan Nan Candle half closed her eyes, "But I'm not sure about the situation yet, try your best."

"You don't have to be too reluctant." Lin Qiushi said, "I'll be fine on my own."

Ruan Nan Candle shook his head and didn't reply.

Only later did Lin Qiushi realize that this was already Ruan Nan Candle's tenth door, and the one who entered the door with him was a man from another organization that also had a tenth door. The two of them had a good relationship, but the only one who came out of this tenth door was Ruan Nam Candle.

"In the end, it was just me and a woman I didn't know who survived." After returning to the villa, Ruan Nam Candle succinctly described what happened in the door, "That woman is definitely not an ordinary person."

Those who could survive to the tenth door, where would there be an equal person.

"Cheng Qianli you got your hint, right?" Ruan Nan Candle seemed reluctant to talk about the door and changed the subject.

"Got it." Cheng Qianli said, "Got it on the night you were unconscious, Ruan." He pulled out a note from his pocket, "Mumble."

Ruan Nan Candle read the words on the note, then handed it to Lin Qiushi who was sitting next to him, "Look, this is also your next door."

"Oh." Lin Qiushi took it and saw three words written on the note, Ah Sister Drum.

"What's this?" Lin Qiushi didn't understand the meaning of the note, "Is it a musical instrument?"

"No, it's the title of a song." Cheng Qianli had already roughly looked up the meaning of the note, "The lyrics are to the effect of a sister looking around for her sister..."

"Just that?" Ruan Nanzhu Dao.

Cheng Qianli Dao: "There must be another meaning." He scratched his head in embarrassment and laughed, "It's not like I haven't had a chance to check yet."

Cheng Yixie was beside him, not salty, "Just be so relaxed even when you die."

Cheng Qianli: "Wow, how are you talking, isn't there still a few days left!"

Seeing that the two were about to argue again, Ruan Nan Candle made a stop gesture: "Hurry up and get it straightened out for me, you're not too stable now that you've entered the door, so don't make any mistakes."

"Good." Cheng Qianli obediently responded.

It was fine not to check, but when it came to finding out exactly what the specific hidden meaning of this lyric was, Lin Qiushi felt a chill down his back.

The first few lyrics of Ah Sister Drum were.

My sister, who couldn't speak as a child, left home the year I can remember.

I've been thinking about it every day ever since.

Sister.

I always wanted to be as big as my sister.

Suddenly I understood her.

Since then I've been looking for it every day.

Sister.

There's an old man sitting on the Mani stack.

Repeating one phrase over and over again.

Om Mani Padma Hum (sanskrit), or Om Mani Padma Hum (Tibetan), the Avalokitesvara mantra

At first glance, this is just a story about a sister looking for her mute sister, but after looking into the background of the story, I found out that the song is about a drum made of human skin.

Long ago, there was a custom in some religions that the skin of a virgin was peeled off alive and made into a drum, the sound of which was said to be able to transcend the cycle of life and death.

The mute sister in the lyrics is said to have volunteered to be made into a drum, but whether she volunteered or not is a matter of opinion.

"The human skin must be chosen from a young girl who has never experienced love, so that it is the purest, and it would be even better if it is a mute, for the mute has not lied and her soul has not been tainted." Cheng Qianli read what he had looked up, "And it must be flayed alive so that the human skin drum tone is the best..." he shivered after reading, "Good thing it's a society of law now. "

Sometimes people can do things that are always scarier than ghosts.

Lin Qiushi said, "The creator of this song said that while traveling, he met a sister who went to look for her sister, and that sister didn't know why her sister suddenly disappeared until she heard an Om Om Mani Padme Moo and the sound of drumming from the sky."

Ruan Nan Candle listened quietly, not commenting. He didn't really look very good right now, and although the doctor said it was nothing serious, mental damage was always hard to quantify.

"I'll accompany them in this time." Cheng Yicher, who was sitting next to them, suddenly spoke up, "You rest for a while."

Ruan Nan Candle said, "You're going?"

Cheng Yicher nodded, although he looked about the same age as Cheng Qianli, he was much more stable in temperament than Cheng Qianli. Not at all like a seventeen or eighteen year old teenager, in a way, he and Ruan Nan Candle looked very similar at first glance.

"I'll think about it." Ruan Nan Candle, however, looked at Lin Qiushi and did not directly agree.

Cheng Yixie frowned slightly, as if he was somewhat confused by Ruan Nan Candle's hesitation, but in the end, he didn't say anything else and answered yes.

The good thing was that although Ruan Nan Candle was in a bad state, he had come out of the vicious door in the end.

In the evening when everyone planned to celebrate, Lu Yanxue went down to the kitchen and cooked a good table, Lin Qiushi was playing by the side and found that Lu Yanxue's cooking skills were amazing. Only after asking did they find out that Lu Yanxue used to run a private kitchen, but then she met the door and closed the shop and lived in the villa.

"Actually, my cooking skills are not the best," Lu Yanxue said, "Zhang Jiao's cooking skills are better than mine, but he's been away for a while, so you'll be blessed when he comes back, but I see that you're quite skilled, do you usually cook a lot?"

"One person lives well." Lin Qiushi lowered his head to cut the vegetables, "Always know how to cook something."

The food was served and a few bottles of good wine were opened, the atmosphere at the table was very relaxed, the people were joking and laughing, they couldn't see the hidden haze at all.

Lin Qiushi also drank two glasses, but didn't touch much, he had something on his mind and was afraid of getting drunk.

Ruan Nanzhu was a good drinker and finished an entire bottle of red wine by himself.

After drinking and eating, everyone dispersed, Lin Qiushi also went back to his room, he went back and took a hot shower, but when he came out again, he saw Ruan Nan Candle sitting on his bed waiting for him.

"Nan Candle, is something wrong?" Lin Qiushi wiped his hair and walked over.

"I need you." Ruan Nan Candle spoke out.

Lin Qiushi was stunned at the words, "What... meaning?"

"Literally." Ruan Nanzhu said, "You can't die."

This sounded a bit ambiguous at first glance, but Lin Qiushi, being a straight man of steel, didn't think much of it at all as he said, "Can you make it clearer?"

In the end, Ruan Nan Candle only said one sentence, he said, "Some people are born for the door."

After he said this, he left, leaving behind a bewildered Lin Qiushi.

Lin Qiushi always felt that there were certain changes in Ruan Nanzhu who came out of the tenth door, but for a while, he couldn't figure out what the changes were.

After resting for a few days, Ruan Nan Candle's condition gradually recovered.

Lin Qiushi knew that he was about to face his third door in a few days, so he had been actively making preparations.

By saying preparations, it was actually watching a horror movie with Cheng Qianli at night.

"This really works?" Lin Qiushi doubted this.

"Useful and useful, we won't be afraid if we see a lot of them." Cheng Qianli was still holding a bag of chips in his arms.

"Don't we need to check that clue again... "Lin Qiushi still felt unreliable.

"Now that the door is simple and there are only so many clues, there's nothing to check again." Cheng Qianli said, "Oh my, look, the female ghost is out."

When they were watching TV, Toast was lying on the cushion next to him, poking darkly at Chestnut, who was lying in the corner of the sofa, leisurely wagging his tail.

Yi Man Man passed by and saw Lin Qiushi accompanying Cheng Qianli as they watched TV, and sighed long and hard.

Lin Qiushi started to wonder why Yi Manman sighed, but three minutes later, he knew the answer - Cheng Qianli, in particular, was afraid of ghosts.

As soon as the ghosts came out, he started screaming like a castrated screaming chicken, and attempted to get into the cracks of the sofa.

Lin Qiushi was shocked: "Are you that afraid?"

Cheng Qianli shivered, "You're not afraid?"

Lin Qiushi: "Even though I'm not as scared as you are, can you stop hugging my arm..." he felt like he was going to be strangled by Cheng Qianli.

Cheng Qianli let go of Lin Qiushi and prepared to turn around to hug Chestnut, Lin Qiushi quickly stopped him and said, "You'd better hug me."

Cheng Qianli was moved: "You're such a good man."

Lin Qiushi: "...if I don't become this good guy I'm afraid I'll lose my cat.

As a result the last horror film has not finished, the entire building is filled with Cheng Qianli's ghost screams, Lin Qiushi behind has been numb, the first reaction to seeing a ghost is to stay away from Cheng Qianli.

The scream was so miserable that it drew down the people who had gone up to sleep.

"What are you screaming about screaming, Cheng Qianli isn't owed a beating ah, screaming the ghost in the middle of the night." Lu Yanxue was wearing a green mask on her face and startled both Cheng Qianli and Lin Qiushi when she came down from the stairs.

"I'm afraid." Cheng Qianli.

"What kind of ghost movie are you watching if you're afraid." Lu Yanxue said, "Screaming like that, if I were a ghost I'd have to be scared to death by you first."

Cheng Qianli: "But if you don't watch I'll be coming in two days."

Lu Yanxue: "Then wait until you enter the house and then call out, anyway, no one else can hear you at that time, so you call out to others."

Cheng Qianli: "I don't, I'm going to call it to you guys - ahhhh!"

Lu Yanxue: "Cheng Yicher, you control your bear of a brother, he's going to turn over a new leaf!!!"

Cheng Qianli: "........"

At Lu Yanxue's call, Cheng Yicher arrived late, wearing his pajamas and speaking to Cheng Qianli with an expressionless face: "If one more word comes out of your mouth tonight, the next door you'll go in by yourself."

Cheng Qianli: "........"

Cheng Yicher turned to look at Lin Qiushi: "Good night."

Lin Qiushi cried and laughed, "Good night."

With one word to settle a screaming chicken, Lu Yanxue instructed Lin Qiushi before leaving that next time, he shouldn't accompany Cheng Qianli to watch a horror movie.

Lin Qiushi nodded heavily, saying that there would never be a next time.

The poor Cheng Qianli has a ghostly look on his face, like a poor wife betrayed by her husband.

After Lu Yanxue left, Lin Qiushi and Cheng Qianli spoke a few words, but Cheng Qianli didn't dare to open his mouth and could only pull out his cell phone and type.

Lin Qiushi: "You're really not talking? Wasn't your brother joking?"

Cheng Qianli typed: he never jokes.

Lin Qiushi: "...then I'm going to bed too, good night?"

Cheng Qianli typed: good night.

Only then was Lin Qiushi able to get away and quickly went back to sleep.

The next morning Chen Fei asked about the horror movie Cheng Qianli watched yesterday? Who was so free as to accompany him to do this.

Lin Qiushi was embarrassed and pointed at himself.

Chen Fei was silent for three seconds: "I'm sorry, I forgot to tell you about this, in fact, everyone in this villa has some quirks, you'll know after spending time together."

Quirks? Lin Qiushi's first reaction was to take a look at Ruan Nanzhu.

As a result, his eyes betrayed his thoughts, and Cheng Qianli said in an inaudible voice beside him; "Isn't it still a quirk to like wearing women's clothes?"

Lin Qiushi: "..." he actually couldn't refute it?

Ruan Nan Candle suddenly stopped her chopsticks: "Cheng Qianli."

Cheng Qianli: "Ha... haha? Nguyen?"

Ruanan Candle said, "Nothing." He wiped his mouth and gave a smile, "Just wanted to call out to you."

Cheng Qianli instantly wince for a second, looking at the expression hated to sew up his mouth.

Lin Qiushi felt funny watching them though, he had thought that the atmosphere in the villa would be more serious and tense, but after getting along with them, he found that everyone was actually more like partners who got together. Except for the few days when they entered the house, it was very relaxed.

Time passed little by little, and the time to see Lin Qiushi enter the house was approaching.

The night before going in, Ruan Nanzhu finally decided to take Lin Qiushi and Cheng Qianli in himself.

Cheng Yixie had a disagreement with him on this matter, saying that Ruan Nan Candle's health wasn't fully recovered and that he could handle the job as well.

"I'm not worried." Ruan Nan Candle, however, said these four words very calmly, "You wouldn't want anything to happen to your brother, would you."

Cheng Yixie was silent, Cheng Qianli was sitting downstairs in the living room, holding the toast and rubbing its butt happily, looking like a teenager who didn't know how to feel sad.

Cheng Yixie said, "If Lin Qiushi wasn't here, would you insist that you lead the team?"

Ruan Nan Candle said, "No."

Cheng Yicher said, "What's so special about him?"

Ruan Nan Candle laughed, "Is being cute considered special."

Cheng Yicher, however, raised his eyebrows, clearly not believing what Ruan Nan Candle said. Having been together for so long, he knew very well that Ruan Nan Candle wasn't someone who was easily ruled by emotions, and there must be a reason why he valued Lin Qiushi so much. It was just that currently, he didn't know what that reason was.

The matter was settled, and Cheng Yixie didn't dwell on it any further.

Since it was Cheng Qianli who was going to enter this time, the three of them would be together almost anytime and anywhere for the next few days, and they could only meet up to even go to the bathroom together.

But the good news was that this didn't last too long, and on the afternoon of the tenth day, Lin Qiushi was leaning on the couch playing games with Cheng Qianli. Ruan Nanzhu was sitting next to them reading a book, with a cat in her arms.

Cheng Qianli, who had been playing happily, seemed to feel something, and he suddenly stopped and said, "Here it comes."

Ruan Nanzhu said, "Where."

Cheng Qianli said, "The second floor."

"Go." Ruan Nan Candle put the chestnut down, and the three of them got up and walked together towards the second floor.

After turning the corner of the stairs, Lin Qiushi saw the original corridor turned into twelve neat iron doors. On top of four of them, they were sealed with a seal.

"Go." Ruan Nanzhu looked towards Cheng Qianli.

Cheng Qianli's face was slightly white, he managed to smile, walked forward and pulled the fifth door.

There was a soft creak and the seemingly heavy iron door in front of him was easily pulled open. Lin Qiushi felt a force pushing him into the door, his vision reversed and the scenery in front of him changed dramatically.

The villa's corridor disappeared and what appeared in front of Lin Qiushi was a dense jungle. He looked around, Ruan Nanzhu and Cheng Qianli, who should have been standing beside him, were both gone, the trees in front of him were tall and lush, and a stone path between them led deep into the jungle.

Lin Qiushi took out his cell phone and looked at it, unsurprisingly finding that there wasn't a single signal on it. He followed the only path forward, but in a few steps he saw a girl sitting on the side of the road crying.

The girl was curled up into a ball and crying, Lin Qiushi's first reaction when he saw her was how this image looked so familiar, and on second thought, he suddenly remembered that his first encounter with Ruan Nancandle seemed particularly similar to this scene....

Is this person Ruan Nanzhu? Lin Qiushi stood where he was and didn't go over, his expression complicated as he observed the miserable crying girl for a while.

The girl cried for a while, and when she looked up and saw Lin Qiushi frowning at her, she was frightened and took a few steps back, her face full of fear: "Who are you? What are you going to do to me-where is this-"

Lin Qiushi was relieved to hear her words and knew that she should not be Ruan Nan Candle, he said, "Did you just get here?"

The girl nodded her head in a pitiful way, she was quite cute and not too tall, her little blob was very pitying.

Lin Qiushi said, "Come over here, it's almost dark, we have to hurry to our destination."

The girl said, "Destination? Where is the destination? Who the hell are you? Where is this place? I'm home, aren't I?"

A series of questions made Lin Qiushi feel quite overwhelmed, when he finally understood why the people in the villa were so anti-newcomers at first, because every newcomer meant a book of a hundred thousand reasons - or the kind of book that could be torn apart at any time.

"Let's talk as we go." That was all Lin Qiushi could explain.

It was about Lin Qiushi's non-aggressive looks that gave the girl courage, and although still somewhat suspicious, the girl still followed Lin Qiushi.

As they followed the path, Lin Qiushi briefly explained the world inside the door in passing, but of course, he didn't make it too clear because if he were to go into detail, he probably wouldn't be able to finish it all day. The girl introduced herself and said her name was Xu Jin, originally on the road to walk well, the results to their own downstairs, a stairwell but saw twelve iron doors.......

Half an hour later, the two arrived at the end of the trail, a village situated in the lush jungle.

The village was full of exotic charm, the houses were almost entirely wooden, and there were some bone products hanging outside of the hangings, just not sure what bones they were made of.

"You guys are here." As soon as they arrived at the entrance of the village, they were greeted warmly by someone, the one who greeted them was a young woman, she said, "They've all gone into the house, they're waiting for you." She said pointing to a large wooden building nearby.

"May I ask where this is?" Xu Jin was still asking questions.

The woman, however, didn't answer and just looked at them with a smile. At first Lin Qiushi thought that this smile was quite warm, but upon closer inspection, he felt that it was a bit strange because no matter what they said, the woman no longer replied and kept the same expression from beginning to end.

Lin Qiushi guessed that this woman was probably not the person outside the door, but the NPC inside the door.

Xu Jin was also a little scared by her smile and took two steps towards the side, Lin Qiushi said, "Let's go in first and take a look."

Xu Jin gave a small nod.

The two of them went down the stairs to the wooden building next to them, and as a result, before they even entered, they heard the sounds of a heated argument coming from inside.

"Fuck you guys, where the hell is this place, don't you fucking try to cheat me, I've already called the police!!!" --There was something familiar about the line, and Lin Qiushi instantly understood what was happening in it.

The author has something to say: Hahahahahahaha I saw a comment yesterday and learned a new word: Boinghong saves beauty.

Lin Qiushi: Don't oingo.

Ruan Nancandle: If you don't want to oingo, you'll have to get tough.

Lin Qiushi: .......oinging is actually quite good.
