Kaleidoscope of Death

Based on what Ruan Nanzhu had said, it was clear that even if they were pulled into the painting, the ghosts couldn't directly do anything to them.

But since there was a picture frame embedded behind the glass in front of them, it meant that almost everyone who came here to use the bathroom had once been framed by the painting - it was just unclear why the woman had finally chosen Lin Qiushi.

"Look at the looks." Ruan Nam Candle said casually, "He's cuter."

Tan Zao Zao stared at the words, "Then how come I wasn't pulled in?"

Ruan Nam Candle: "Are you cute?"

Tan Zao Zao: "...Ruan Nan Candle, if you say this outside, you will die you know?

All in all, the castle seems to have a lot of picture frames hidden inside, at least after returning to the bedroom, Ruan Nam Candle found several more. There was one hidden on the right side of the mirror, one hidden in the bedside table, and Ruan even found a hidden compartment in the ceiling where the picture frames were. It seems that the ghosts of this world are really intelligent, and their intelligence is not low.

After turning over all the picture frames in the house, Ruan Nam Candle rudely smashed them all. After smashing it, he even told the team about it, telling them all to look for it and try to turn over all the picture frames.

I don't know if it's Lin Qiushi's illusion, but he always felt that the mistress looked at Ruan Nanzhu with a particularly malicious look in her eyes that morning, as if she wanted to peel his skin off his bones.

Ruan Nan Candle didn't know whether it was because he didn't feel it or he didn't care, he was still sitting calmly in front of the table eating a delicious steak, not affected in the slightest.

The next morning, someone disappeared again and turned into a gorgeous painting.

Ruan Nan Candle went to look at the painting and then flipped out a flat picture frame from under this person's carpet, Lin Qiushi took the frame and sighed, "This is okay?"

He put the frame to the side and shook his head: "It's really unpredictable."

Ruan Nan Candle, "It is indeed unguardable, so we better find the key as soon as possible." He said, "It always feels like she's getting more and more unscrupulous."

Lin Qiushi nodded.

Ruan Nan Candle's intuition was obviously right, and that very night, the woman appeared outside their window again.

On the quiet rainy night, the woman stood in the middle of the desolate courtyard, rain falling on her body, she slightly raised her head and smiled grimly at the balcony where Ruan Nan Candle was.

Ruan Nan Candle was smoking outside, and when he saw the woman, he didn't say anything, looking rather indifferent, he just said, "She's standing outside."

Lin Qiushi walked next to him and also saw the scenery outside.

Ordinary people had already wimped out when they saw the woman, that is, Ruan Nan Candle, who could meet her indifferent gaze without any stage fright, and in the end, it was the woman who disappeared first.

"You're not afraid?" Lin Qiushi turned his head and asked him.

Ruan Nan Candle spat out his smoke: "It's the same whether you're afraid or not." He handed one to Lin Qiushi.

It was inside the door anyway, so Lin Qiushi took the cigarette and lit it, looking at the gradually darkening sky outside: "What's next."

Ruan Nan Candle: "Wait."

Why wait, wait for what, Ruan Nan Candle didn't even explain, Lin Qiushi didn't ask, he finished his cigarette and turned into the house with Ruan Nan Candle. Tan Zao Zao had fallen asleep with her butt puckered on top of the floor. This girl inside the image is really difficult and outside the cold movie queen on the side, looks are not outstanding, personality is not cold, sleep a sleep but also like to lie on the bed like a worm pouting butt sleep, this posture is really unbearable, also do not know that those of her powder see, will not feel the dream shattered.

Lin Qiushi smoothly brought the blanket for her, then lay down next to Ruan Nan Candle.

"You stood on the bridge and watched the scenery from upstairs. The bright moon decorates your window and you decorate someone else's dream." Nguyen Nam Candle, "Any new thoughts on the poem?"

Lin Qiushi took a moment, "We stand in the castle and look at the paintings, the people looking at the paintings look at us from upstairs, the frames decorate our windows, we decorate other people's dreams..." the note was pretty clear, and with a little thought, he could understand the answer, but now he was a little hesitant about whether the last line of the poem, the dream, referred to the painting the woman had brought them into, or to something else.

"I do think that the dream is referring to the painting upstairs." Ruan Nan Candle was looking at Lin Qiushi's side of his body.

The two were so close that they could even feel each other's breathing.

If this were placed on someone else, Lin Qiushi might have felt uncomfortable. But it was around the time that the previous bed sharing with Ruan Nan Candle had been paved over, so Lin Qiushi didn't feel any problem.

"You mean that dinner picture?" Lin Qiushi asked.

Ruan Nanzhu: "Mm."

Lin Qiushi blinked: "Then let's go and burn that painting?"

After three seconds of silence, Ruan Nan Candle realized that Lin Qiushi was serious about this product and he said, "You're not afraid anymore?"

Lin Qiushi: "Isn't this still you, besides, if Mistress's dream is really that painting, do we have to wait until she finishes that painting?"

Ruan Nan Candle: "She'll never be able to finish that painting."

Lin Qiushi was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then he immediately understood what Ruan Nan Candle meant. It was true that Mistress couldn't finish that painting, there were ten people in the painting, which meant she had to pull ten people into the frame to turn it into a painting, but according to the rules of the door, the team wouldn't be completely destroyed, which meant that Mistress' painting would always be missing a face - the painting would indeed never be finished.

"Let's go up tomorrow and see," Ruan Nan Candle said, "We can't stay here any longer, it will only get more and more dangerous."

Lin Qiushi nodded.

Ruan Nan Candle's guess was indeed right, because the next morning, there was indeed another missing member of their group. There wasn't much of a reaction this time, the crowd was used to this kind of thing.

The man's portrait was finally collected by the butler, and Lin Qiushi watched as he took it up to the roof.

"Where is he going to receive the painting?" Lin Qiushi was a bit curious.

Ruan Nan Candle: "I don't know, follow up and see."

After they said this, they tacitly put down their knives and forks and walked out, and Tan Zao Zao still didn't understand what was happening, and hurriedly followed with a piece of bread in her mouth.

The housekeeper went up to the sixth floor, opened the room where the unfinished products were placed, went in and came out soon after.

Lin Qiushi and the others hid at the corner of the stairs and saw the butler's figure disappear.

"Go in and take a look?" Lin Qiushi asked.

Ruan Nan Candle nodded.

Skilfully unlocking the door, Ruan Nam Candle opened the door to the room where the unfinished goods were placed once again, and this time, once they entered, they made a new discovery.

"...are these newly painted on?" Tan Zao Zao looked at the paintings in front of her with some creepiness. I saw a room full of pictures, many of which had been filled with blank spaces. All that filled the frame was a woman in black who looked like a woman in the rain, by the window, the corridor, the stairs, the courtyard, her figure was everywhere. She even appeared in the picture scroll that belonged to Xiaosu.

This gave Lin Qiushi an inexplicable feeling that the picture was contaminated.

Ruan Nanzhu looked at the hundreds of paintings but was lost in thought, the movement of his hands said, "Look for them."

Tan Zao Zao was in a state of confusion from the start and was still eating the bread in her hand, "Find what?"

"Look for the door." Ruan Nam Candle said, "The door should be in the painting."

"Seriously?" Although Tan Zao Zao was a little skeptical, he still listened to Ruan Nan Candle and began to rummage through the hundreds of scrolls in front of him with him.

About half an hour later, Lin Qiushi was rummaging through a pair of scrolls pressed underneath when he finally found what he wanted, and he called out in a low voice, "Found it-"

It was a very ordinary painting at first glance, showing a view of the interior of the castle, except that there was a very special view within this view - a black iron gate.

The black iron door was standing in a dark corner, which was easy to miss if you didn't look closely.

Ruan Nan Candle took the painting: "This is the staircase on the right side of the second floor, let's go and have a look."

They took the painting and went straight to the second floor, and soon found the scene in the painting, but it was different from inside the painting. The place where the iron door was was a white wall with an ordinary landscape painting hanging on it.

Ruan Nan Candle reached out and took the painting down, and found that there was really a switch behind the painting, and when he saw the switch, he reached out and pressed it, and with a slight rumbling sound, the wall in front of them cracked open a huge gap, and a black door, appeared in front of the three of them.

"Door found!" Tan Zao Zao was overjoyed, "Now all that's missing is the key..."

Lin Qiushi and Ruan Nan Candle looked at each other.

Ruan Nam Candle: "To do it or not?"

Lin Qiushi: "Let's go."

Tan Zao Zao didn't understand what their conversation meant until she saw Ruan Nan Candle pull out a lighter from her pocket, and she was startled: "You two shouldn't really be going..."

Ruan Nanzhu: "If you're afraid, just wait here."

Tan Zao Zao said forget it, she'd better come along, in case something happens or have a care for each other, isn't a family just about being neat and tidy?

Lin Qiushi: "...neatly cool together?

After making the decision, Ruan Nanzhu was particularly decisive, the three went straight to the seventh floor of the hostess's studio. Of course they didn't forget to knock on the door before entering the studio, otherwise it would be very embarrassing to push the door in and see the mistress sitting inside.

The mistress didn't seem to paint during the day and would only continue at night. This gave Ruan Nanzhu the opportunity to walk to the painting, turn on the lighter, lower his head and light the fire, the whole action in one go, as if he had already done it a thousand times.

Tan Zao Zao was watching in awe, vigorously rubbing the goosebumps on her arms.

The fire stained the paper and quickly engulfed the painting in front of it, yet Lin Qiushi heard a small sound as the flames spread, as if it was a human scream or the kind of creaking sound the wet wood made when it was set on fire.

"Did you guys hear that?" Lin Qiushi asked hopelessly.

As expected, both Ruan Nan Candle and Tan Zao Zao shook their heads, indicating that they hadn't heard anything.

In a moment, the painting in front of them turned into black ashes, and as the last corner was also set on fire, a crunching sound was heard on the floor, as if something metallic had fallen onto the floor.

Lin Qiushi looked down, and as expected, he saw a bronze key.

"Ahhhhh!!!" At the same time, a woman's furious roar came from downstairs, which shook Lin Qiushi almost unsteadily, and without thinking, he knew that it must be Mistress's voice.

"Go!!!" Ruan Nanzhu grabbed the keys and turned to run.

Lin Qiushi and Tan Zao Zao followed after them.

They went down the stairs, but when they reached the fourth floor, they saw the crazy looking mistress who had arrived, her tall body was now rickety, growling angrily, and her black hole eyes were filled with rage and madness that couldn't be concealed. .

"Take the side stairs!" Ruan Nan Candle was already very familiar with the structure of the castle and immediately changed direction when he saw the woman.

The woman raced towards them, her limbs waving in an uncoordinated manner, literally like a giant arthropod, but so fast that she was behind them in an instant.

Lin Qiushi's footsteps didn't dare to stop for a moment, as soon as he stopped, the picture frame seemed like it would immediately hit him.

They quickly went down to the fourth floor, and Ruan Nan Candle didn't even look back: "Lin Qiushi, lead her away, give me some time to open the door-"

Lin Qiushi gritted his teeth, "Good!" He turned his head to look at the huge woman behind him and without thinking grabbed the painting hanging on the wall next to him and smashed it towards her.

The woman was hit by the painting that Lin Qiushi threw, her mouth growled almost hideously and lunged at Lin Qiushi.

Lin Qiushi dodged just in time to avoid the frame of the painting that she swung in front of him, he looked at Ruan Nan Candle and ran down towards the first floor.

The woman did follow him down the stairs. Lin Qiushi felt like he had never been so calm, after he was sure that the woman was following him, he quickly twisted around and ran up the stairs towards the other end of the corridor, so much time must have been enough for Ruan Nan Candle to open the iron door!

As expected, Lin Qiushi, who had returned to the second floor, saw the iron door that had been opened.

Lin Qiushi panted heavily and ran towards the door with all his last strength. However, just as he was about to enter the door, he felt a pair of large hands, grasping his ankles in a death grip, dragging him out of the door in a hard manner-.

The woman appeared in front of him, her expression fierce and condescending, Lin Qiushi's feet were caught in her hands, her right hand was raised and the picture frame she was holding in her hand smashed down heavily.

At this moment, Lin Qiushi's breathing almost stopped, the images in front of him became incomparably slow, as if it was the last walk before a person died, he could even see the black hair of the woman flying in the air....

The picture frame smashed down, and Lin Qiushi involuntarily closed his eyes.

"Ahhhhh!!!" However, the darkness that should have come did not fall, but Lin Qiushi heard the woman scream, and he opened his eyes to find that he was soaked in blood all over his body, and his trouser pocket was the source of the blood, which was still coming out in a steady stream at this time. This blood seemed to be something offensive to the woman, she even put down the picture frame in her hand and began to back away from it.

Lin Qiushi didn't dare to think about what was going on and turned around and rushed through the door. Passing through the tunnel that was dazzled by the light, his figure finally returned to the present world that he had left for a long time.

"Exhale... "Lin Qiushi sat on the bed, his head covered in cold sweat, he raised his hand to wipe the sweat off his forehead, got up and went outside, knocking on Ruan Nan Candle's room.

There was a creak and Ruan Nan Candle appeared at the door, he saw Lin Qiushi and his expression loosened slightly, "Come out."

Lin Qiushi nodded, the scene before he came out was too scary, and now he didn't have much strength in his body: "When I came out, I was caught by that woman."

In the meantime, Ruan Nan Candle said, "Not hurt, are you?"

Lin Qiushi shook his head, "No." He was a little confused, "I was obviously caught by her, but something seemed to have saved me." He pulled out his trouser pocket and didn't find anything strange in it, "There was a lot of blood spilling out of the trouser pocket... do you know what it was?"

Ruan Nan Candle leaned against the door and shook his head to show that he didn't know, "Just come out if you can, what's the point of caring so much."

Lin Qiushi Oh, he always felt that Ruan Nan Candle had something to hide from him, but of course, he didn't dare to say it in front of Ruan Nan Candle, so he nodded and turned to leave.

Ruan Nan Candle looked at his back and said, "Tan Zao Zao met us for dinner tonight."

"En." Lin Qiushi said, "I'm going to take a shower to cool off."

Evening.

Lin Qiushi and Ruan Nan Candle appeared at the restaurant that Tan Zui Zao had booked. Lin Qiushi was expecting that Tan Zao Zao would treat them to steak or something, but he didn't expect that she had booked a hot pot.

And as soon as Lin Qiushi went in, he saw Tan Zaizao in a T-shirt rolling up her sleeves, a mouthful of fondue and a mouthful of beer, and saw them waving without lifting their heads: "Quickly come, damn eating steak for so long, it's really gluttonous to me."

Lin Qiushi: "....... "The contrast is too big.

Ruan Nan Candle, rather like he was used to it, sat down next to Tan Zao Zao and said, "You can hit the balance."

Tan Zao Zao said with no good feelings, "I'm not not playing, what's your hurry, it's just out, let me slow down for two days." She thudded a glass of cold beer down her stomach, "So refreshing..."

Looking at the completely shelfless Shadow Queen in front of him, Lin Qiushi always felt like he was in a trance, he quietly sat down next to him and began to eat.

Tan Zao Zao and Ruan Nan Candle began to chat about things, mostly about the fourth door bargaining, Lin Qiushi just knew that the door led by Ruan Nan Candle is really not cheap, the first four doors are a fan a million, a point less can not be. By the fifth door began to increase the price, how to add, how much to add, all depends on Ruan Nan Candle's mood.

"We have such a good relationship, can't we be cheaper?" Tan Zao Zao said, "I'm considered a VIP member, right?"

Ruan Nan Candle coldly said, "Brothers and sisters, settle the score."

Tan Zao Zao: "You're a wealthy fan." Thanks to the fact that this wealthy fan looked so unappetizing, she had actually naively thought that he was a high-ranking person who didn't ask questions at first.

Ruan Nan Candle: "Give or take?"

Tan Zao Zao sadly pulled out his phone and prepared to transfer money.

A ding-dong sound, after the transfer ended it was Lin Qiushi's phone that made the sound, he pulled out his phone to look and found that it actually transferred another 200,000, he looked a little hesitant: "Brother Ruan..."

Ruan Nanzhu's hand waved: "Just take it if you're told to, her life-buying money, you're looking down on her if you don't take it."

Tan Zao Zao: "... She really wants to be looked down upon....

Lin Qiushi still took the money, every line had its own rules, and there were some things that as a novice he was better off not interfering.

The three of them just came out of the door, they were all a bit tired, especially Lin Qiushi was also grabbed by that woman before he came out, although he wasn't injured but it was scary enough.

Tan Zao Zao ate almost everything and left first, leaving behind Ruan Nan Candle and Lin Qiushi.

"Tired?" Ruanan Candle asked him.

"A little." Lin Qiushi replied.

"Let's go back then." Ruan Nan Candle, "It's getting late."

Lin Qiushi nodded.

The two of them headed out from the hotpot restaurant, it was still very hot, so it was good that the sun had already set. The noisy cicadas and the traffic should have been noisy and noisy, but it was somehow reassuring. Lin Qiushi and Ruan Nan Candle didn't speak all the way until they reached the villa, and only then did Ruan Nan Candle say to Lin Qiushi, "Rest well."

"You too." Lin Qiushi smiled.

Ruan Nan Candle turned around and went upstairs after saying this, while Lin Qiushi sat in the living room for a while.

Cheng Qianli just happened to come back from walking the toast and greeted Lin Qiushi happily when he saw him, "Back?"

Lin Qiushi: "Back."

"No accidents, right?" Cheng Qianli touched Toast's ass.

"No big surprise." Lin Qiushi replied calmly.

Cheng Qianli tilted his head, as if he felt Lin Qiushi's state was a bit off, he said, "Are you uncomfortable anywhere?"

"Uncomfortable?" Lin Qiushi shook his head, "No, I'm probably a little tired."

Cheng Qianli oh-said and didn't think much of it, so he instructed Lin Qiushi to rest well.

Lin Qiushi said, "Have you seen the chestnuts?"

"I didn't see it, I don't know where it went, probably in Ruan's room." Cheng Qianli said, "Do you want to go check it out."

Lin Qiushi thought about it, but decided to forget it.

He went back to his room to sleep, but Lin Qiushi lay in bed for a while, he looked at the ceiling and finally couldn't resist sending a message to Ruan Nanzhu: Are you asleep?

It took a while for the other side to reply: no, what's up?

Lin Qiushi: I have something I want to ask you.

Ruan Nan Candle: What is it.

Lin Qiushi looked at his phone screen and typed down what he wanted to say word for word: Did you put the thing in my pants pocket?

Ruan Nan Candle didn't reply.

Lin Qiushi: What's that? Can't you tell me?

Ruan Nan Candle returned his five words: come to my room.

Lin Qiushi was a little happy, he threw his phone away and ran to Ruan Nam Candle's room, but as soon as he opened the door, he saw Ruan Nam Candle, who had just finished taking a shower and only had a towel around him, his hair was still wet and was slowly dripping, droplets of water sliding down his collarbone to his firm chest and pretty mermaid line before finally falling on the floor.

"Sit." Ruan Nan Candle raised his chin.

Lin Qiushi sat on the couch next to Ruan Nam Candle.

Ruan Nan Candle was going to light a cigarette, but he looked at Lin Qiushi again and finally put it away, he grabbed a towel and wiped his hair, "Yes, I'm the one who put the stuff there."

Lin Qiushi asked directly, "Then why did you lie to me?"

Ruan Nan Candle: "Are you always so direct in what you do?"

Lin Qiushi was a bit baffled: "Why can't it be direct? Is there anything to see about this?"

Ruan Nan Candle looked at Lin Qiushi with a condescending and somewhat strange expression, "Haven't you ever thought about what if I actually wanted to harm you?"

Lin Qiushi shook his head honestly: "Haven't thought about it."

Ruan Nan Candle: "...Lin Qiushi, why are you so cute.

The author has something to say: ruan nan candle: I like to like to bully honest people (fly rubbing hands)

Lin Qiushi: ????

Lin Qiushi has only entered four doors, and he is only a novice, so don't always compare him with experienced big brothers.
