Kaleidoscope of Death

Chapter 39 - Are You Jealous?

Zhang Xianian's personality seems to be very outgoing, with that baby face is very friendly, he smiles with two small dimples on the corner of his mouth, he looks very cute.

Everyone in the house was very kind to him, except for this Cheng Qianli guy.

"I don't like him at all." The day after Zhang Coronation arrived, Cheng Qianli found Lin Qiushi muttering, a mouthful of his dissatisfaction.

"Why don't you like him?" Lin Qiushi had a good impression of Zhang Corona as well.

"Haven't you noticed that Ruan has brought him with him since he arrived?" Cheng Qianli said, "He doesn't even take us anymore..."

Lin Qiushi was silent for a moment.

Cheng Qianli's eyes looked at Lin Qiushi thirsting for his approval, "Is that what you think too?"

"No." Lin Qiushi replied straightforwardly, "Isn't it a good thing you're not taking us? Do you still want to come in more often?"

Cheng Qianli: ".......seems.......kinda makes sense.

However, Ruan Nanzhu was indeed quite special to Zhang Xianmian, bringing him in at least three or four times in a week, and Zhang Xianmian had adapted well, quickly adapting to the transition between inside and outside the door.

As for Lin Qiushi, Ruan Nanzhu only asked him to rest well.

From an outsider's point of view, Ruan Nanzhu must have wanted to cultivate Zhang Xianfeng, which was why she brought him along to take such an adventure, but Lin Qiushi felt that there was something wrong, and for a while, he couldn't find the offending point.

One morning, Zhang Xianian suddenly greeted Lin Qiushi and asked him politely if there was anyone else in the organization.

Lin Qiushi was having his breakfast at that time, and was baffled by his words, "Other people? What do you mean?"

Zhang Corona: "It's the other team members." He smiled, revealing two sweet dimples and looking extra cute, "Haven't you seen them?"

Lin Qiushi shook his head.

"Oh, Nguyen took me to meet the other team members yesterday." Zhang Corona said, "So I'm kind of curious, how many people are on our team."

This question was a bit more sensitive, Lin Qiushi wouldn't be able to tell him even if he knew, besides, he didn't know anything yet, so he shook his head, indicating that he wasn't sure.

Zhang Corona oh-so-sounded, but didn't ask any further questions.

At the same time, the others also arrived at the table one after another, and no more than a few of them spoke to Zhang Corona. Lin Qiushi soon discovered a strange phenomenon, that is, with the exception of a few special people in the room, everyone was smiling at Zhang Corona as they spoke.

Chen Fei was smiling, Yi Manman was smiling, and Lu Yanxue was also smiling, and it was an incomparably bright smile, which made Lin Qiushi really baffled.

The only person in the room who didn't smile was Cheng Yicher who didn't have any expression at all.

Lin Qiushi was a little confused, unable to understand what was going on with everyone in the room.

For the next period of time, Ruan Nanzhu still acted together with Zhang Corona, and both of them were nowhere to be seen.

Cheng Qianli privately asked Lin Qiushi if he was jealous, Lin Qiushi was browsing the forum at the time and his first reaction to this was: "Jealous? What jealousy? Did you guys make dumplings?"

Cheng Qianli: "... "Lin Qiushi are you still okay.

Seeing that Lin Qiushi still didn't understand, Cheng Qianli had no choice but to set the record straight and say that Ruan is now focusing all his attention on the newcomers... Don't you feel unhappy? Whether it's entering or meeting Nguyen, it's obviously you first....

Lin Qiushi was shocked: "It's not like we're dating, and this is about a first come, first served?"

Cheng Qianli: "...You're really not jealous?"

Lin Qiushi looked at Cheng Qianli suspiciously and said do you want me to call your brother to come and shoot the water out of your head?

Cheng Qianli: "No no no." Hearing his brother's name, Cheng Qianli seconds wince, turns around and slips away.

But I don't know if Cheng Qianli went to say something to Ruan Nan Candle, but after dinner in the evening, Ruan Nan Candle suddenly called Lin Qiushi out into the hallway.

He lit a cigarette and asked Lin Qiushi if he wanted it.

Lin Qiushi politely refused: "I have liver cancer..." even though this liver cancer he himself had almost forgotten about.

Ruan Nanzhu: "Oh, sorry." He put out his cigarette, "You bear with me a little longer."

Lin Qiushi: "Huh?"

Ruan Nan Candle: "One week at most."

Lin Qiushi said: "......." he still didn't understand.

But Ruan Nan Candle didn't continue, he looked cold and turned his head to look at Zhang Corona who was smiling and chatting with everyone in the room, raised his hand and pressed it lightly on Lin Qiushi's head, turned around and walked away.

Lin Qiushi had a confused face the entire time, he still didn't understand what Ruan Nanzhu's words meant.

But because of the frequent entry into the door, Zhang Coronation's body seemed to be somewhat unable to support it, and the worst was the latest entry, he even got injured as a result and came out and went into the hospital.

Everyone in the villa visited him, while expressing their admiration for him.

Chen Fei was going to the hospital with Lin Qiushi, and he bought a bag of fruit in front of the hospital, which Lin Qiushi would have wanted to buy as well, but he was stopped by Chen Fei.

"Don't buy it." Chen Fei said, "Your roles are all different?"

Lin Qiushi: "? Characterization?"

Chen Fei saw Lin Qiushi's blank face and was stunned for a moment, "Ruan didn't tell you?"

Lin Qiushi: "...say what?" He felt weird about the room now.

"Forget it, it's nothing." Chen Fei seemed to have understood something from the blankness on Lin Qiushi's face, he sighed and said, "Just hold on for another week, it's almost done."

Lin Qiushi: ".......What the hell are you guys talking about? He really didn't understand now.

The injuries that Zhang Corona had sustained weren't too serious, and when Lin Qiushi went to see him, Ruan Nan Candle was sitting beside the hospital bed guarding him.

Zhang Corona saw Chen Fei and the others and barely smiled.

Chen Fei shushes Zhang Coronation and says that if it doesn't work, he must tell Ruan that they can open the back door even though it's a necessary stage for newcomers.

Zhang Corona, however, said that he could keep up with Ruan Nanzhu's pace and hoped that he would become a member of the team soon.

Chen Fei was pleased at the news and said that we haven't seen a newcomer with such high quality like you for a long time, you will definitely be the backbone of our team in the future.

Lin Qiushi didn't dare to utter a word as he listened beside him, compared to the intensity of Zhang Coronation going in and out of the door, he was simply painting monsters in the novice village....

After visiting Zhang Coronation, Lin Qiushi had thought that this would continue for a long time, after all, Zhang Coronation was the person Ruan Nanzhu had his eye on, but he never expected that Zhang Coronation would suddenly disappear on the sixth day after he recovered and returned to the villa.

It was a morning, Lin Qiushi went downstairs to have breakfast as usual, but he didn't see Zhang Corona's people, he waited for a while, but he saw everyone's expressions as if nothing had happened: "Where is Zhang Corona? Why don't you see him?"

"It ran away last night." Chen Fei nibbled on the muffins Cheng Yixie had made and said casually.

"Ran away?" Lin Qiushi was shocked, "What do you mean by running away?" It's not like they're a pyramid scheme, what do you mean run away.

Chen Fei said, "Literally, couldn't stand Ruan's squeeze and slipped away."

Lin Qiushi: "......." he always felt like he had missed some important plot.

Ruan Nanzhu happened to come down as well, he looked natural and sat next to Lin Qiushi and took a muffin and started to nibble slowly as well.

Faced with Lin Qiushi's blankness from start to finish, Ruan Nam Candle finished eating the muffin and wiped his hands before he slowly began to explain, "Come over and work for us."

"...Work?" Lin Qiushi was shocked.

"Bai Lu's internal staff." Ruan Nan Candle said, "An acquaintance of ours, Le Dong Yuan."

He always spoke so succinctly, but the words were key, and Lin Qiushi instantly understood what was going on, his eyes round with disbelief, "Le Dong Yuan? Is that man Li Dongyuan??"

Ruan Nan Candle nodded.

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

Ruan Nan Candle said, "It's not over yet, don't reveal yourselves."

The table all nodded happily, as to why they were so happy, why they wanted to laugh when they saw Zhang Corona, Lin Qiushi soon found out the reason - Ruan Nan Candle pulled out a handful of small notes from his pocket, the look of the small notes as long as anyone who had seen them couldn't forget, they were the clues to the door. The clues were put together, as if they were free money, and were grabbed by Ruan Nanzhu in his hand.

Lin Qiushi looked at this pile of small notes with nothing to say, that working really is too apt.

"So what exactly is he doing here?" Lin Qiushi couldn't understand Li Dongyuan's brain circuits.

"Looking for someone." Chen Fei smiled and looked at Ruan Nan Candle, "Looking for Zhu Meng..."

Lin Qiushi: "Cough cough cough!!!" He almost choked to death on his spit.

"Then he found out he couldn't find it, and was frantically exploited for labor by Nguyen... He stole the box from Nguyen's house and slipped away when he saw the situation." Chen Fei said, "I hope he doesn't think the box is a real clue."

Ruan Nan Candle smiled indifferently.

Lin Qiushi looked at his smile, but suddenly remembered the expression on Ruan Nan Candle's face inside the door when he found the fake key that Le Dong Yuan used to trick them... it was so similar to this moment.

"It's actually like this, why didn't you guys tell me." Cheng Qianli was very angry after hearing this, "You guys were all having so much fun acting, why don't I have a part?"

Cheng Yicher answered Cheng Qianli's question with a blank expression, saying, "Because your intelligence isn't enough to support this."

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

Cheng Yicher: "Have an opinion?"

Cheng Qianli shook his head in aggravation and tearfully continued to nibble on the muffin.

The only people in this house who haven't been told the truth seem to be Cheng Qianli and Lin Qiushi, Cheng Qianli is not wise enough, so is he also doubtful? Lin Qiushi was thinking this, but Ruan Nan Candle seemed to know what he was thinking and said, "It wasn't in time."

Lin Qiushi: "......." he believed in the hell, what's too late for this.

Coronation Zhang is gone, but the script isn't over yet, because they have to outwardly show that they're incredibly angry because Coronation Zhang escaped with the note, and Obsidian begins to closely investigate where Coronation Zhang went - forgetting to mention that their organization's pronoun is Obsidian.

Of course, this drama doesn't last long, because soon Li Dongyuan on the White Deer side realizes that the note he took with him is a fake, and understands that he's been exposed and used as free labor for a long time. I'm not sure if I'll be able to do this, but I'm not sure if I'll be able to do this.

So quality eighteen company instantly turned into a gentle greeting, Le Dong Yuan said: "Meng ah, how old are you, married not ah, let's see a chant, I like you like this."

Lin Qiushi was also present at the time, listening to Le Dong Yuan's soft, dripping voice that gave goosebumps.

Ruan Nanzhu directly set the phone to mute, not knowing how long Lai Dongyuan had been talking to himself over there before he found out about it.

"He actually likes Zhu Meng." Lin Qiushi looked at the cold Ruan Nan Candle in front of him and felt sadness and sympathy for Le Dong Yuan's future love affair.

"Isn't Zhumeng bad?" Ruanan Candle asked.

"Yes." Lin Qiushi said, "Who wouldn't like Zhu Meng?" After all, people are right in front of them, so you can't say bad things in front of them.

"Then is it better to wish Meng or me?" Ruan Nan Candle's way of thinking seemed to be somewhat clear.

Lin Qiushi had only seen those who compared with others, but not those who wrestled with themselves left and right. Faced with Ruan Nanzhu's serious expression, he could only tactfully say that each of them had their own characteristics, there was no need to force a comparison of who was better, besides, no matter how good it was, it was still the same.

Ruan Nan Candle nodded his head in satisfaction and walked away.

Lin Qiushi looked at his back, deeply wondering if this person wasn't a bit finicky.

The most important thing is that the content of the note is actually related to the world he entered, and he almost turned the car around.

The first thing that you need to know is how to get the best out of the situation.

The first thing you need to do is to take a look at the newest addition to the list.

Lin Qiushi mercifully wondered what his expression would be if he knew that Zhu Meng was the man in front of him.

Thanks to Li Dongyuan's blessing, they had collected a whole bunch of clues about the door, and Lin Qiushi had never known exactly how the clues worked, or Chen Fei had explained it to him.

Usually, people with clues were divided into different worlds, which meant that in principle, in one world, there would be at most one person with a clue note. But there had been exceptions, which Chen Fei didn't elaborate on, figuring that it would be some very unlikely special situation.

The person with the clue would enter the door that the clue corresponded to, so that the note would become something very important. However, the clues were also divided into difficulty levels, for example, when Ruan Nan Candle took a crazy job with Lai Dong Yuan some time ago, the ones who entered were mostly doors with lower difficulty levels, so the difficulty of the doors corresponding to the clues were also low. For example, if Lin Qiushi wanted to enter his sixth door, he would have to use the clue from the fifth door that Ruan Nan Candle got last time, and if he brought a clue from the other second door, there was a chance that the clue would not correspond to that world.

Because of this, if Nguyen Nam Candle were to take a job, he would have to keep going in and out of the door to get clues to ensure the safety of the people he served.

It was a more dangerous job, but seeing as how Ruan Nam Candle was already very skilled at it.

Having pitched Le Dong Yuan hard, Bai Deer and Obsidian should reasonably be considered to have bonded, but Nai had a Zhu Meng as a lubricant, so Le Dong Yuan didn't completely tear his face off with Ruan Nam Candle, and even politely said they could work together - if Zhu Meng was there.

"Yes." Ruan Nan Candle promised indifferently, Li Dongyuan was also past the eighth door, and his strength was definitely not weak, so it was naturally good to have someone like that as a guarantee. As for Zhu Meng...let's see how he feels about it.

Lin Qiushi had rested for three months, and his body had basically recovered.

Originally without a job, he was still worried about his source of livelihood and was planning to find some short term jobs, but who knew that Ruan Nanzhu asked him for his card and then punched half a million into his card.

Lin Qiushi was dazed at the numbers in the text message and said, "Nan Candle, what do you mean?"

Ruan Nam Candle: "Living expenses."

Lin Qiushi: "...and this place is responsible for issuing living expenses?"

Nguyen Nam Candle: "Of course you don't get it for free." He said, "I have a client whose next door is about time, I'm going to bring her in with me, you can come along."

Lin Qiushi: "Can I come along?" He was a little embarrassed, "I'm afraid I'm dragging my feet."

"You always need to brush up on your experience before fighting the boss." Ruan Nan Candle, "Things like doors, you'll get used to going in more often."

Lin Qiushi: "..." he looked at Cheng Qianli who was reading a horror novel beside him with his face twisted.

Ruan Nan Candle: "Don't use Cheng Qianli as an example."

Cheng Qianli heard Ruan Nan Candle say his name next to him and turned his head for no apparent reason: "Brother Ruan you called me?"

Ruan Nan Candle: "Well, complimenting you."

Cheng Qianli: "Oh, hehehehehe."

Lin Qiushi felt that Cheng Qianli was really unbearable to look at, how could he be so stupid.

Although there was some apprehension and hesitation inside, Ruan Nan Candle's calm attitude still calmed Lin Qiushi's mood.

The afternoon after finishing this matter with Lin Qiushi, Ruan Nan Candle took him to meet the client.

Lin Qiushi originally thought that the client was an ordinary person, but he didn't expect it to be the Xu Xiao Orange he had met in the second door, which was a very hot actress in the real world, whose real name was Tan Zao Zao.

Unlike the shy Xu Xiaogang in the door, the real-world Tan Zao Zao walked a mature and sexy style, with a head of wavy hair, wearing a long red dress, with a rugged body, very attractive to the eye.

She was so imposing that it was hard for outsiders to manage, but Ruan Nan Candle was no less than her, and the two of them sat face to face, eye candy.

"You're so good, you really won't consider entering the entertainment industry?" That was the first thing that Tan Zao Zao opened her mouth to say.

"Don't you have to come to me even when you enter the entertainment industry." Ruan Nan Candle casually coped, "You know this one, Yu Lin Lin."

Tan Zao Zao didn't even look at Lin Qiushi at first, only after hearing the name Yu Lin Lin did she turn her gaze to Lin Qiushi. Around the time when she remembered the experience of Mennei, Tan Zao Zao's gaze softened a lot: "You're even cuter than Mennei."

Lin Qiushi: "...Thank you." He was a grown man, being praised by a girl for being cute really wasn't something he was too happy about.

"He's coming in with us." Ruan Nan Candle said, "Is that okay?"

"You don't have a problem with it, so naturally I don't either." Tan Zao Zao said, "Good cooperation."

Ruan Nan Candle nodded.

The two of them chatted about some more details, specifically things like the price and who brought the clue note, after which Tan Zao Zao invited them for a meal.

During the meal, Zaizao Tan was quite interested in Lin Qiushi, and the topic revolved around Lin Qiushi.

At the back, however, Ruan Nanzhu seemed to be a bit unhappy, and he cut off Tan Zaizao's conversation, saying bluntly, "You can ask me any questions, we're just partners, so you don't need to know so much about it."

Tan Zao Zao seemed to be smiling: "But I just want to understand Lin Lin."

Ruan Nan Candle put down his knife and fork: "I'm full."

Lin Qiushi: "...You've only had one bite of the steak in front of you.

Tan Zao Zao: "... "Ruan Nam Candle you're too stingy.

Anyway, Ruan Nan Candle said that he was full and the others couldn't do anything about it, as a result, just after he came out of the steak restaurant, Ruan Nan Candle dragged Lin Qiushi to the restaurant next to him and ordered another table of food.

Lin Qiushi: "...Aren't you full?"

Ruan Nan Candle: "I'm hungry again."

Lin Qiushi: ".......Why can you say it so frankly ah.

Feeling like he had to treat Ruan Nan Candle like he was spoiling a child, Lin Qiushi sighed helplessly, but didn't delve deeper, Ruan Nan Candle said that Tan Zao Zao was a rather special client, usually they wouldn't meet with clients when they took jobs, but Tan Zao Zao Zao was introduced by his acquaintance, plus her identity was special, that's why he would meet with her in reality.

"But if you don't meet with clients, how are you going to get in the same door as them?" This was what Lin Qiushi couldn't figure out.

Ruan Nanzhu pulled out a few silver bracelets from his pocket and said, "This one."

The silver bracelets were ordinary, only some intricate words were carved on them, none of these words Lin Qiushi could understand, he reached out and squeezed one of the bracelets, feeling that after the bracelet entered his hand, it was a cool sensation, as if it had been calmed with ice.

"This bracelet..." said Lin Qiushi, "Is it something from inside the door?"

Ruan Nam Candle nodded, "One of the worlds."

Lin Qiushi oh-said and put the bracelet back.

"Taking a job is usually on a special forum and requires a huge security deposit." Ruan Nam Candle said, "In addition to the security deposit is the labor fee, and the security deposit will be returned to the client after they return the bracelet."

Lin Qiushi: "...You still have an industry chain, huh?"

Ruan Nan Candle spread his hands, "Of course, we also have to live, we can't drink the northwest wind."

Indeed, Lin Qiushi nodded, "But half a million is too much, I..."

He was about to say he didn't need that much money when Ruan Nan Candle interrupted, "That's the money to buy your life, you don't think your life is worth half a million?"

Lin Qiushi was mute.

Ruan Nan Candle said, "Every time you go in, it's a huge risk, there's no way to get out, and when the person is gone, there's always something left for the people outside."

Rather so, although Lin Qiushi had no strings attached, he understood what Ruan Nan Candle had said. People who were about to die would always worry about the people around them, sons and wives, fathers and mothers, and if the person was gone, they should always leave something to protect them.

Having thought about this, Lin Qiushi accepted Ruan Nan Candle's good intentions.

"This is the third door of Tan Zao Zao, the exact time of entry should be a week later." Ruan Nan Candle said, "I'll tell you the clue strip tomorrow morning."

Lin Qiushi hmmmed.

"Good cooperation." Ruan Nan Candle extended his hand towards Lin Qiushi.

"Pleasure to cooperate." Lin Qiushi smiled.

The previous few times Ruan Nan Candle had taken Lin Qiushi through the door, this was an official collaboration between the two of them, Lin Qiushi was apprehensive but felt a subtle excitement.

The world within the door was scary, but the people around him made him no longer afraid. Whether it was ghosts or death, it was as if the world was not desperate, and where the willow was dark, the flowers would eventually be bright.

The author has something to say: usually will not write a third party to interfere with the plot, you do not have to worry.
