Kaleidoscope of Death

This school is quite big, besides the school building, there are public facilities like library and canteen.

After finishing their meal, the four of them headed towards the old school building, and met the other three members of the team on the way. The three of them seemed to have just formed a team, saw them and smiled and said hello.

"Are you guys going to the old school building as well?" The man in the lead asked.

"Right." Lin Qiushi nodded, "You guys too?"

"We're planning to go over there, and since we're all going, we might as well come along, there's plenty of people to keep us company." The man said, "I'm Liu Zhuangxiang."

"Yu Lin Lin." Lin Qiushi also introduced himself.

So the seven of them walked together towards the old school building, chatting as they walked.

Although they were chatting, everyone was actually very cautious in their attitude towards strangers, rarely revealing information when talking, after all, there was only one clue on the door, and whoever went out first, that clue was his. So while cooperating, we are also potential rivals, unless in a desperate situation where we must work together, there will always be people who have something else in mind.

Liu Zhuang Xiang seemed to have some interest in Ruan Nanzhu, although he pretended not to care, but his eyes stayed on Ruan Nanzhu for a while.

Until they arrived at the old school building, the two teams were still a bit attached to each other when they planned to part.

At first, Lin Qiushi wondered if he had discovered something, but later realized that Liu Zhuangxiang hadn't discovered anything at all, but simply liked Ruan Nancandle's looks.

To be honest, with Ruan Nan Candle's dress and temperament inside the door, it was very normal for a man to be interested in him.

The old school building had a seal on it and students had been forbidden to enter.

The man who led them here gave them a few keys before leaving, saying that the keys opened the iron door at the entrance of the old schoolhouse. Lin Qiushi took out a key to open the iron door, and the few people entered.

The school wanted to renovate the entire school building, no matter if it was the walls and floors or even a new set of desks and chairs. This was considered a big project.

"This school building isn't old." Ruan Nan Candle observed outside the school building for a while and came to this conclusion, "It looks like it's been repaired for six or seven years at most."

"It's not old." Lin Qiushi began to listen to the man's description, originally thinking that the old school building was the kind of old building that had been used for many years, but only when he arrived did he realize that it didn't look as old as he thought it would be, it was just an ordinary school building. The building had six floors in total, the colors were mainly red and white, and from a distance across the playground, it looked a bit like a piece of distinctly colored five-fold meat.

"Let's go in and have a look." Ruan Nan Candle said.

The other three who were with them also came in, but didn't join them, saying that they wanted to go upstairs first.

Lin Qiushi and the others started checking from the first floor.

The school building was no longer in use by students at this point, and the entire building was quiet. There were neatly arranged desks and chairs in every classroom, and the black curtains were all drawn.

Next to the classrooms were the teachers' offices, which had all been emptied, leaving only a few tables and chairs.

There were six floors in this building, so checking over one by one without any definite clues was a time-consuming and laborious task.

They went up to the third floor from the first floor, and while planning to continue checking the third floor, they heard a sudden thumping sound coming from the roof.

"What are they doing upstairs?" Xia Rupei was a little confused.

No one said anything, and everyone looked up at the ceiling.

The people who had just separated from them at the door should be upstairs with them at this point, and they didn't know what they were doing, making the ceiling thud, a sound that moved from one end of the hallway overhead to the other, and was very uncomfortable to listen to continuously.

"So annoying." Xia Rupei was made angry by this noise like noise, "They're insane, right?"

They were about to go up from the stairs to see what Liu Zhuangxiang and the others were doing when Ruan Nan Candle suddenly made a stop gesture and he said, "Don't go up, something's wrong."

"What?" Xia Ru Bei was already at odds with Ruan Nan Candle, and this time being stopped by Ruan Nan Candle could be said to be very unhappy, "You're afraid of all this?"

Ruan Nan Candle didn't say anything and pointed downstairs.

They looked in the direction that Ruan Nan Candle pointed, and found that the three people Liu Zhuangxiang came with them were actually standing in the open space downstairs, saying something, and when they saw them looking over, they even waved at them in a friendly manner - these people weren't even upstairs.

The goosebumps on Xia Rupei's body rose at the sight, and she looked in horror at the ceiling, which was still continuing to make noise, and shuddered, "What is this?"

"What do you think it is?" Ruan Nan Candle didn't reply and shifted his gaze to Lin Qiushi.

Lin Qiushi was silent for a moment and gave Ruan Nan Candle an answer: "I think that the sound is like a one-legged person jumping on it."

As soon as this was said, Xia Rupei was almost scared straight to tears.

In fact, the first time Lin Qiushi heard the sound, he felt something was very wrong, it was supposedly just a thumping sound, but he had goose bumps on his body and even felt an inexplicable resistance to going upstairs.

"Oh." Ruan Nan Candle was quite calm, "That should be the clue that Satoko is jumping up there."

Xia Rupei: "........"

When Le Dong Yuan saw how calm Ruan Nam Candle was, he laughed, "Aren't you afraid?"

This question Ruan Nan Candle had been asked countless times, and just when Lin Qiushi thought he would give an answer as coldly as before, this playboy hugged Lin Qiushi's hand and said, "Of course I'm scared ah, Lin Lin, people are scared to death."

Lin Qiushi: "....... "Isn't it a little late for you to be acting at this point.

"Scared can't walk, I need a kiss from Lin Lin before I can continue walking." Ruan Nan Candle said.

Xia Rupei's expression twisted when she heard this, and Lin Qiushi felt that if she had anything in her hands at this point, she might have greeted Ruan Nan Candle over, but Nai Nai didn't, so she just had a severely twisted expression and endured it hard.

"Alright, I'm just kidding." Probably Xia Rupei's expression was too distorted, Ruan Nan Candle spread his hands, "I think we'd better not go up there until we know what's going on. Why don't we go to the library first and check out the old newspapers to see what's going on in this school."

"You're not curious?" Le Dong Yuan raised his eyebrows.

Ruan Nan Candle: "Curiosity killed the cat, haven't you seen that the fast deaths in horror movies are particularly curious?"

Lai Dongyuan didn't say anything, his expression seemingly smiling, clearly not believing Ruan Nan Candle's rhetoric. However, he did not refute it, but agreed to Ruan Nam Candle's proposal.

So the four of them ignored the head-scratching thumping sound and left the old school building.

The old school building was far away from the rest of the school buildings, and in the middle was a huge playground, and I don't know what the school thought about building a school building here in the first place, but both classes and dismissals felt like an inconvenience.

The library was on the east side of the old school building, because it was still class time, so there was not a single student inside.

Lin Qiushi originally thought that the library should be quite big, but he didn't expect it to be only one floor, it seemed that there was indeed some difference between a high school library and a university library, after all, high school students spent most of their time on studying and exams, and didn't have the energy to read extracurricular books.

The one guarding the library was an older female teacher, when Lin Qiushi and the others came in, she just took out a book and asked them to register it, then she stopped caring.

They soon found a place in the library to place their old newspapers, which were all organized and pinned into a thick book.

"Find it." Ruan Nam Candle said, "Since we were invited here recently, something must have happened recently, so slowly flip back."

Lin Qiushi nodded and started flipping through it.

As expected by Ruan Nan Candle, there had indeed been an accident in this school recently, and the location of the accident was in the old school building.

Three students died in Senior 3 Class 2, all three died in the classroom, the cause of death was miserable and unknown, the only thing in common was that one of the legs was chopped off, and no stump has been found so far.

"Senior three class two, if it's not on the fourth floor, it's on the fifth floor." Nguyen Nam Candle said, "It's possible that we heard their voices too."

Lin Qiushi continued flipping through the newspaper and discovered that this school had been really troubled for a while now, with accidents occurring frequently, almost all of them occurring inside the school. It was no wonder that the school authorities wanted to redecorate it, after all, although that old school building was called the old school building, it hadn't actually been built for several years, so it was a great loss to just abandon it and not use it.

"What year was that school building repaired?" Ruan Nan Candle flipped to something, "Seven years ago... but it seems like the accident only started recently."

Le Dong Yuan: "Can you find any news about the car accident?"

Lin Qiushi shook his head, feeling that it wasn't quite feasible: "It's too wide."

"I'll go ask." Ruan Nanzhu stood up and headed outside, seemingly going to chatter to the librarian. As soon as he left, Xia Rupei said in a detailed voice, "Brother Le, I'm so scared, what the hell is that Zozi, are they still going to that old school building?

"According to the past rules, this kind of key location is either out of the key or out of the house, so naturally we still have to go." Facing the weak Xia Rupei, there was no pity in Li Dongyuan's look, "If you're afraid, you can stay in the dormitory?"

Xia Ru Bei thought about the old dormitory and didn't say anything.

Ruan Nan Candle went away for a while and came back with some important clues.

"Three years ago, there was indeed a car accident inside the school." Ruan Nam Candle said, "A freshman student died in a car accident, the time of death was winter, the student's name is still unknown, but it was a girl."

Le Dong Yuan: "What class was she in?"

Ruan Nan Candle: "Since the dead one is a senior two student, it must have something to do with this class, besides, didn't that group of people just happen to enter this school three years ago." He tapped his finger on the table, "It would be good to get the roster of this class."

"The roster is the kind of thing the school archives must have." Le Dong Yuan said, "How to get it is a problem."

Lin Qiushi had thought that Ruan Nan Candle's character would propose stealing it at night, who knew that he turned his head to look out the window and said, "It's getting late, let's call it a day, let's go back to rest after dinner."

Li Dongyuan actually echoed the good news.

So the four of them went to the cafeteria again and ate something random before heading back to the dormitory.

Only their three rooms on the dormitory floor had lights on, the other locations were all pitch black and there wasn't even a single street light. Lin Qiushi simply took out his cell phone as a light.

After a simple wash, they each lay on the bed, Lin Qiushi was Ruan Nan Candle's bunk, while Xia Rupei lay on top of Le Dong Yuan.

"Guess if someone will die tonight?" Ruanan Candle seemed a little bored.

"Will." Le Dong Yuan Dao.

"I also guess it will." Ruan Nam Candle said, "Then guess how many will die?"

Le Dong Yuan: "Two."

Ruan Nam Candle: "Lin Lin, what do you think?"

Lin Qiushi was quietly playing continuous reading with his phone, not really listening to Ruan Nam Candle, so he greatly ahhed.

Ruan Nan Candle came over from the top bunk and said in a grumbling tone: "You just know to play even, you don't care about me at all."

Lin Qiushi: "...I'm not, I don't."

Ruan Nan Candle: "Then what did you say we just talked about?"

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

Ruan Nan Candle: "Heh, man."

Lin Qiushi was instantly crying and laughing.

But Ruan Nan Candle was just joking, not really blaming Lin Qiushi, they chatted for a while and then turned out the lights and went to sleep.

Lin Qiushi secretly prayed before he fell asleep that he wouldn't wake up at night because of the strange noises, he really didn't want to see those things.

........

Wu Xuelin was lying on his bed, a little angry at the thought of what had happened during the day.

He had teamed up with two other people and stayed in a dormitory, but before he had even lived there for a moment, he found a large pile of red talisman papers in the room. These talismanic papers were stuck deep in the cupboard and under the mattress, making one's scalp numb from looking at them.

After seeing these talismanic papers, Wu Xuelin's first reaction was to tear them all off.

But the people he was traveling with expressed their disapproval.

"What if these talismanic papers are for demon suppression?" The man said this, "Wouldn't it be the end of it to tear it up?"

Wu Xuelin expressed great disdain for this argument, saying, "What about the one that attracts ghosts?" Saying that, he tore off all the talismans from the bed board and threw them into the trash can.

The man, however, was still stubbornly unwilling to tear it.

Wu Xuelin was completely furious at the situation and called his counterpart, who was trembling with fear, to go to the next room with him. He was convinced that these charms were not good and would attract ghosts and spirits, so the first thing he did after entering the house was to gather up all the charms in the house and throw them away.

The girl who was with him was called Xiao Qin, and she was lying on his top bunk, not knowing whether she was asleep or not.

Wu Xuelin was a bit restless, it was already very dark, but he was tossing and turning and couldn't sleep, always feeling chilly all over.

"Xiao Qin, are you asleep?" Wu Xuelin asked in a low voice.

There was no response from the bunk, so it looked like Xiao Qin was asleep.

Wu Xuelin rolled over again and put his face to the wall. It wasn't cold, and the blanket on his body wasn't thin, but Wu Xuelin felt colder and colder, like he was in the middle of winter. He wrapped the blanket tightly around him and stared at the wall, trying to fall asleep, but he couldn't get any sleep.

Just as Wu Xuelin became more and more anxious, he suddenly noticed that there was something caught in the crack of the wall. Wu Xuelin stretched out his hand and carefully took out the thing caught in the crack of the wall.

It was a small piece of paper with several rows of text written on it in black font.

Wu Xuelin took out his cell phone and read the contents of the note clearly, he read it out softly: "Sachiko has been calling herself Sachiko since she was a child so funny oh, she loves bananas but can only eat half a banana at a time so poor oh, Sachiko should forget about me when she goes far away so lonely Sachiko..."

"What the hell is this." Wu Xuelin was a bit upset by this thing, he felt like the rows of words were like poems or lyrics or something, and he was so creeped out for a moment that he involuntarily scrunched up the note and threw it to the side.

"It's so cold." After a while more, Wu Xuelin couldn't take it anymore, he sat up on the bed and said, "Xiao Qin, aren't you cold?"

There was no reply.

Wu Xuelin looked up at the top bunk, there was only a mattress between their bunk, so he could hear whatever was going on very clearly. After his question, Xiao Qin didn't answer, but there was another strange sound coming from the top bunk, thumping, thumping, literally as if... someone was jumping on the bed.

"Violin?" Wu Xuelin was a little scared, he swallowed heavily, "Xiao Qin?"

"What was the last sentence?" Xiao Qin's voice suddenly sounded.

Wu Xuelin was a bit stunned, "What last sentence?"

Jean said, "What's the last line of the song?"

Wu Xuelin: "...what?"

Xiao Qin: "The lyrics you just read."

Wu Xuelin reacted for a moment before he realized what Xiao Qin was talking about, and he picked up the crumpled up note next to him: "The last line?" He searched for the note and found the last words on the back of it: "I don't have my leg, will you give me yours?"

After reading the line out, Wu Xuelin suddenly felt something was wrong, how did Xiao Qin know it was lyrics? It wasn't something else, and the voice he read so softly, how could Xiao Qin hear it-unless, it wasn't Xiao Qin who was asking him questions, but something else.

Wu Xuelin's expression froze, and he heard that thumping jumping sound getting louder and louder, as if it was going to shake the bed right down.

Wu Xuelin was really scared and crawled from the bed, however as soon as he got out of the bed, he was stunned by what was on the ground. The only thing I saw was that Xiao Qin, who should have been lying on the top bunk, was quietly lying on the floor, out of breath, her expression incomparably frightened, her eyes were still wide open, and the most frightening thing was that her left foot was neatly truncated.

But the sound of Wu Xuelin's bunk grew louder and louder, and the thing laughed sharply in Xiaoqin's voice, and began to repeat the last lyrics, "My leg is gone, will you give me yours, will you give me yours-"

"Ahhhhh!!!" Wu Xuelin let out a miserable scream and rushed towards the door, but when he reached the door, he couldn't twist the lock in front of him.

"Help, help!!!" Wu Xuelin trembled all over, hearing that thumping sound behind him, a pair of cold hands, touching his shoulder, severe pain from his left foot, Wu Xuelin fell to the ground and saw a bloodied foot, standing abruptly on the black floor.

Darkness began to appear in front of his eyes, while in his mind, he was repeating the lyrics of the song "My leg is gone, can you give me yours".

Everything was quiet and Wu Xuelin lost consciousness.

........

It was a peaceful night.

Lin Qiushi slept until dawn and opened his eyes with a yawn, but he saw that Ruan Nan Candle had woken up at some point and was sitting on the edge of the bed, smiling at him.

"Good morning." Ruan Nan Candle smiled at him.

"Good morning." Even though he knew that Ruan Nan Candle was a man, Lin Qiushi still blushed a little for no apparent reason. Seeing such a beautiful person smiling and asking questions to himself early in the morning was quite a beautiful thing, to say the least.

Le Dong Yuan, who was next to him, followed and leaned in and said, "Meng Meng, you haven't said good morning to me yet."

Ruan Nan Candle had a look at him, "Good."

Li Dongyuan: "....... "Is it so hard to say two more words.

Xia Rupei: "Brother Lai, good morning."

Li Dongyuan: "Good."

Xia Rupei: "......."

Lin Qiushi really wanted to laugh at this, these three people were simply an ecological chain of hurting each other.

At this moment, but outside their house, a sharp scream sounded: "Ahhhhh, dead people!!!"

A few people hurried out to see what was going on.

They only saw that a few people had already surrounded outside of the furthest house, some were trying to open the door, some were whispering.

When Lin Qiushi took a look, he found that the doorway of the room that was surrounded was overflowing with red blood, dripping out down the corridor, and judging from the amount of blood, the people inside were definitely in mortal danger.

The one who screamed was the new girl who had just arrived in this world, she saw the blood and was so frightened that she hid at the end of the crowd in fear, not daring to look again.

Li Dongyuan and a few men found tools to break down the door, but fortunately the doors in the dormitory were quite old, and without smashing the door a few times, it answered and opened, revealing the situation inside.

In the middle of the room, there was a man and a woman lying in a pool of blood, both of whom were out of breath. The most noticeable part, however, was the missing part of their foot - both of their left legs were missing.

"Isn't this man the one who had to tear the talisman yesterday?" Someone in the crowd recognized the man, "Is that talisman really a demon suppressant?"

"Looks like it." The crowd whispered, "or why are both dead."

"Oooh, I want to go home, I want to go home." The fragile-minded newcomer began to cry, and the cries disturbed the scene even more.

Ruan Nan Candle cautiously stepped into the house and began to observe the surroundings to see if there were any clues. Lin Qiushi followed him and also walked next to the corpse.

Both of them must have seen something extremely terrifying before they died, and even when they died, their faces were filled with unspeakable horror, and they didn't even close their eyes.

Blood was flowing from the missing left leg, dripping all over the floor and covering the entire room.

Ruan Nam Candle seemed to notice something, he bent down and picked up a small wad of paper from the corner, it was also stained with blood, he could only barely see a few words.

The others also saw it and came over to look at it, "What does it say?"

Ruan Nam Candle handed the man the note and said, "I don't know oh."

"Banana...loneliness...what a mess." The man didn't understand, "Can anyone read it?"

No one understood it, or rather, someone understood it, but was unwilling to say it .

Lin Qiushi and the four of them, however, were directly certain of the cause of death of the two people in front of them; they had indeed died at the hands of Satoko, but they didn't know if the reason for their deaths was the torn talisman, or this note with lyrics written on it... or maybe, both?

The author has something to say: ruan nan candle: needs a kiss from Lin Lin to get up.

Lin Qiushi kissed him.

Lin Qiushi: Aren't you up? Why are you still sitting.

Ruan Nanzhu: It's up below.

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