Kaleidoscope of Death

The first victim in the team appeared, the whole atmosphere of the team was frozen.

The new girl looked at the mess and carefully asked if she needed to clean the scene and dispose of the body, Nguyen Nam Candle shook her head and said: "No, the body will disappear soon." This is the rule of the gate, the corpse will disappear in any way.

The girl didn't seem to understand what was meant by "soon gone", and was shivering with anxiety. She wasn't the only one who was afraid, and the faces of the others didn't look too good either, and there was no one to talk to.

Lin Qiushi, however, was used to such things, so he seemed relatively calm, but Xia Rupei, with a pale face, took one look at the corpse and hid in the house, saying nothing and refusing to come out again.

Looking at her cowardly appearance, Lin Qiushi was curious as to how she got here from the Three Gates. Did she rely on Li Dongyuan to bring her here? But Li Dongyuan wasn't the kind of person who woke up early for no good reason, but he didn't know if Xia Rupei had any good qualities that would make him be so protective.

"Let's go, let's go to the archives first today, and see if we can find information on the senior class 2." After looking at the corpse, Ruan Nanzhu made a suggestion for today's trip.

"Okay." Le Dong Yuan nodded.

The four of them then prepared to go out to the cafeteria for an early lunch before going to the archives.

Probably because of looking at the corpse, Xia Rupei's appetite was very poor, the bite of food placed in front of her remained untouched and her brows remained knitted.

In the meantime, Ruan Nanzhu seemed to be thinking about something, or else it would be another drama.

Seeing Xia Rupei's lack of appetite for food, Le Dongyuan tried to persuade her, but when she refused to let go, she had to give up with a sigh, thinking that when she was hungry, she would naturally want to eat.

The location of the archives was rather remote, in the corner of the school. The entire archives had three floors and looked a bit old. The manager was an old man in his sixties, and when Ruan Nan Candle took the initiative to negotiate, he actually didn't stop them and agreed for the four of them to enter the archives to look up information.

The archive was filled with a musty smell belonging to old paper, making it very unpleasant to smell, Xia Ru Bei entered and began to cough in a low voice, Le Dong Yuan asked her what was wrong.

"I seem to be allergic to dust mites." Xia Rupei said with difficulty.

"Then you can wait at the door." Li Dongyuan didn't force her.

Xia Rube nodded happily, the file room was dimly lit, there were tall file cabinets everywhere, and it was quite scary from the outside, let alone going in. Naturally, Xia Rupei was happy to not have to follow her inside, and Le Dong Yuan instructed her to sit at the door and not move, they would come out as soon as possible.

As the three of them walked inside, Ruan Nan Candle seemed to be smiling and said, "I didn't see it, the leader of the White Deer is actually such a compassionate person."

"Are you jealous, Meng Meng?" Li Dongyuan smiled and looked at Ruan Nan Candle.

Ruan Nan Candle: "It's not so much that I'm jealous, I'm just curious as to what kind of charm this Xia Rupei has that makes you so spoiled."

Lai Dongyuan didn't answer at all, just smiled and said, "Sure enough, jealous."

When Ruan Nan Candle saw that he refused to say, he stopped asking and turned around to enter the archives.

The archive was sorted by time, and after searching for a while they quickly found information from three years ago when the senior second class was still the freshmen of the first year of high school.

Ruan Nam Candle reached out and took down the file that belonged to them, and the first page that was opened showed a group photo with the words Senior 2 Class 2 written on the back in black carbon pen.

"Found it." Ruan Nam Candle said, "This is a group photo of their class."

Lin Qiushi leaned in next to Ruan Nam Candle and saw the photo in his hand.

The photo looked very ordinary, there was nothing special about it, the students in the photo looked very young and there were teachers of various subjects standing on either side.

Ruan Nan Candle said, "There are a total of thirty-four people in their class..." he suddenly frowned, "I always feel that there is something wrong with the photo."

Lin Qiushi didn't find anything wrong, but when Ruan Nan Candle said that, he must have noticed the offense, but couldn't say where the offense was for a moment.

"Wait..." said Lin Qiushi when he suddenly made a new discovery, "Thirty-four people? But there's only thirty-three in this picture."

Eleven people in a row, three rows in all, all in the right places, and the class could be counted at a glance.

"Right! Just the numbers!" Nguyen Nam Candle said, "This profile says thirty-four, where's the other guy?"

Lin Qiushi and Ruan Nanzhu looked at each other and saw the same look in each other's eyes. Apparently, they both thought that the missing person was Satoko.

"There should be specific information on the classmates, right?" Ri Dongyuan took the file book and began to carefully flip through it, quickly turning to the student's file, "...this page was torn out."

There should have been thirty-four pages of the file, but now there were only thirty-three pages left, and one of the pages had been torn away, like the one that had disappeared from the group photo.

"We've seen this person before." Ruan Nan Candle suddenly pointed at someone in the photo.

"Seen?" Lin Qiushi was shocked by Ruan Nan Candle.

"You don't remember?" Ruan Nan Candle said, "The senior three student we met yesterday at dinner."

Naturally, Lin Qiushi remembered, "But wasn't he in the senior three class?"

Ruan Nan Candle: "Of course he's in the senior three class, now it's a question whether this school has a senior two class or not."

Lin Qiushi: "Are you saying that all of the senior three second class are dead?"

Ruan Nan Candle: "It's possible."

Since that man didn't die, it was a very important clue that he must have done something special to escape from his doom.

The three of them flipped through the pages for a while longer, trying to see if there was any other information.

While they were looking for information with their heads down, Lin Qiushi heard footsteps coming from the bookcase next to him, he first thought it was Xia Rupei and even opened his mouth to call out, but then he felt that it wasn't quite right because the footsteps weren't rhythmic left or right footsteps, but a very subtle thud... it was like the kind of jumping sound he heard in the school building before.

Lin Qiushi reached out and grabbed Ruan Nam Candle's hand, raising his chin in gesture.

Ruan Nan Candle obviously didn't hear that sound, but seeing Lin Qiushi's face, he still understood that he must have found something.

"Let's go." Lin Qiushi opened his mouth, "It's almost time to find it anyway."

Lai Dong Yuan still wanted to say something, but Ruan Nan Candle made a gesture of silence, so he also understood and said, "Good."

The three of them put down the file and started walking towards the door.

Just as they had taken a few steps forward, the heavy file cabinet behind them suddenly fell down and heavily hit the place where they were standing just now.

This loud noise attracted the administrator, who was furious when he saw the fallen filing cabinet and reprimanded them.

Ruan Nan Candle also didn't defend, just whispered an apology, after all, is a beautiful girl, and the appearance of softness is really pitiful, that archivist finally let them go, did not continue to blame.

Only then were the three able to leave, and when they reached the door, Ruan Nan Candle whispered, "See?"

Lin Qiushi: "See what?"

Ruan Nam Candle: "There are bloody handprints on the back of that cabinet."

Lin Qiushi: "No."

Next to a very enthusiastic Li Dongyuan said, "I saw that."

Nguyen Nam Candle: "It's okay, there's no use in seeing it."

Li Dongyuan: "........"

Lin Qiushi cried and laughed as he listened to the conversation between these two.

When the three of them arrived at the door, they saw Xia Rupe sitting on the chair at the door bored in a hundred ways, and when they saw them come out, they said, "You guys are so fast? Is that noise in there something wrong?"

"The filing cabinet fell over." Lai Dong Yuan, "It was pushed."

"Pushed? Was it the guy who just went in?" Xia Rupe asked.

"The guy who just went in? Anyone else in the archives?" Ruan Nan Candle caught the gist of her words.

"There is, a woman, she said she was a student at the school, the one in charge of the records let her in." Xia Rupei held her arms and looked like she was terrified, "You didn't see it?"

"No." Ruan Nan Candle shook his head.

Lin Qiushi did hear the sound of someone coming in, but based on what had just happened, it might not be a person coming in at all.

"What does the student look like?" Lai Dongyuan said.

"A female, looks quite young, face I didn't see too clearly, long hair." Xia Rupei, "Just a very ordinary young girl."

"That should be it." Ruan Nam Candle said, "Congratulations, you might be the first to see the boss."

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

Ruan Nan Candle: "With such good luck there might be a double experience reward oh."

Xia Ru Bei almost didn't cry directly from Ruan Nan Candle.

Li Dongyuan helplessly asked Ruan Nanzhu to stop scaring Xia Rupei, it's not good to scare the girl really badly.

Ruan Nan Candle leaned against Lin Qiushi's side to wince and said I'm scared too, why don't you worry about me.

Li Dongyuan: "...Are you afraid? Why do I think you have more guts than I do.

"I want to go to the bathroom." As the three of them walked outside, Ruan Nanzhu suddenly said, "Lin Lin you can accompany me."

Lai Dongyuan said, "Let's all go together."

Lin Qiushi thought to himself friend what are you so nervous about, do you know that he can actually go to the same toilet as me? But the toilets in this school were all cubicles with locks, otherwise there was a real possibility of Ruan Nam Candle being exposed.

The four of them went outside the toilet, Xia Rupei and Ruan Nanzhu entered the women's toilet, while Lin Qiushi and Li Dongyuan went into the men's toilet.

Lin Qiushi entered the stall and was about to take off his pants when he heard someone knocking on his toilet door, he was about to say Lai Dongyuan why are you knocking on my door, then he felt that it didn't seem right... Lai Dongyuan was obviously entering the toilet on his right hand side, so why was it the left that was knocked on.

"Yu Linlin." Li Dongyuan's voice rang out, "On your wall, is there any writing?"

Lin Qiushi was stunned at the words, and found that there were really several rows of words on the wall behind him, but after reading them clearly, Lin Qiushi's back was frightened.

The first thing you need to know is that you can't find any other way to get rid of it, and you can't find any other way to get rid of it.

And in the last row of these words was the forbidden phrase that could not be pronounced: my leg is gone, will you give me yours.

"Did you see that?" Li Dongyuan said.

Lin Qiushi looked at the font in silence for a moment and said, "I'm sorry, I don't actually know how to read."

Li Dongyuan on the left: "........"

Lin Qiushi: "I didn't go to school since my family is poor, and I can't read a few big words, or you can come and see for yourself later?"

There was no sound there, and Lin Qiushi guessed that the contraption that tried to get him to read out the rows of words was shocked by his ignorance.

However, Lin Qiushi didn't dare to continue using the toilet and hurried out of the cubicle, who knew that when he reached the door, he saw the other three people already waiting outside.

"What took you so long?" Ruan Nan Candle asked him.

"Kidney deficiency?" Li Dongyuan was smiling and making personal attacks on Lin Qiushi.

Lin Qiushi ignored him: "How long have I been on?"

Ruan Nan Candle looked at his watch, "Ten minutes."

Lin Qiushi sighed, "I just met Satoko inside."

As soon as this was said, the other three's expressions all froze for a moment, especially Xia Rupei, whose already taut nerves were clearly about to snap, took a few steps back in fear, "Satoko? Is that the Satoko from the clue?"

"Hmm." Lin Qiushi said, "She mimicked Li Dongyuan's voice and asked me to read the words on the wall, which I might have actually done if I didn't have a clue to prompt me."

"Go inside and take a look." Ruan Nam Candle said.

The four of them re-entered the men's room, Xia Rupei was terrified and looked a little embarrassed, but Ruan Nam Candle was perfectly fine with it - after all, this was where he belonged.

Lin Qiushi found the cubicle where he went to the bathroom and pushed open the door only to find the white walls covered with dense red blood handprints that completely covered up the font he had just seen. The blood stains were even more pronounced in the cubicle on the left, even as a thin layer of blood had accumulated on the floor. It looked like a severely injured person had been in this compartment for a long time.

"Wait, I suddenly remembered-" seeing all this blood, Xia Rupei suddenly stared round, "The girl who just entered the file room is a cripple!!!"

Speaking of cripples, they immediately remembered the leg that Satoko was missing.

"She was walking with a limp, so I didn't care, but now that I think about it... "Xia Rupei was shaking more and more.

"Let's go." Ruan Nanzhu Dao, "Anyway, now that we know the specific conditions, just don't read them out."

The importance of the clue was reflected at this point, if it wasn't known in advance, it was really hard not to get hit, and the worst thing was that it might die straight without understanding what was going on. And this Soko actually knew to destroy the evidence....

The four of them walked out of the archives, the not-so-strong sun beating down on them to dispel some of the icy chill.

"What now, go find that senior?" Lin Qiushi asked.

Ruan Nan Candle said, "Let me see ah..." he pulled out something from his bosom, Lin Qiushi took a closer look and realized that Ruan Nan Candle had brought out the group photo of the second class.

Lin Qiushi: "...When did you make the move?" He stood next to Ruan Nam Candle the entire time, and didn't see him move to hide the photo.

Ruan Nan Candle: "Just moved his hand just now."

Lin Qiushi: ".......This product can pick locks and smooth things out so well, he's already starting to suspect Ruan Nam Candle's occupation in reality.

Ruan Nan Candle, however, seemed to know what he was thinking and didn't raise her head: "I'm not a thief ah."

Lin Qiushi: "Oh..."

Looking outside at this time, being illuminated by the sun, the group photo looked even stranger, its hue dull, everyone's expressions stiff. Ruan Nan Candle held it for a while, and suddenly asked, "Can you guys see it?"

Lin Qiushi: "See what?"

Ruan Nam Candle said, "The fog on their faces."

Lin Qiushi looked carefully at the photo in Ruan Nam Candle's hand and shook his head to make sure he didn't see the fog that Ruan Nam Candle was talking about.

"Oh, never mind then." Ruan Nan Candle no longer spoke.

Instead, Le Dong Yuan showed a thoughtful expression.

After tossing around in the archives for such a while, it was time for lunch again, so it was a good time to go to the cafeteria for a bite to eat and discuss what to do in the afternoon.

Lin Qiushi also paid attention to whether or not they encountered that senior student again while eating, but the small probability of the incident was still not encountered by them.

Xia Rupei hadn't eaten anything in the morning, and she didn't have much of an appetite for lunch.

Li Dongyuan persuaded her a few times, but she refused to let up, so she was going to give up.

Rather, Ruan Nanzhu ate a fragrant meal, finished her own food and asked Li Dongyuan to buy two more chicken legs for him.

"I want chicken too!" Xia Rupei, who had no intention of eating, suddenly spoke up and said to the rising Li Dongyuan, "Brother Meng, I want three!"

Ruan Nanzhu: "I want four."

Xia Rupei: "I want five!"

Ruan Nanzhu: "I want six."

Xia Rupei gritted her teeth eyes red and hardened, "I want seven-"

Lin Qiushi: "... "What exactly are you guys comparing, and why are you bullying the little girl Ruan Nam Candle that skilled ah, isn't it not fair to compare a grown man's stomach capacity with that of a little girl....

Li Dongyuan looked helpless: "Do you need that much to finish the food?"

Ruan Nanzhu: "I can eat twice as much, but I don't want to eat too much either." He coyly smiled at Xia Rupei, "I'm afraid of gaining weight." He also deliberately looked at Xia Rupei's waist.

Xia Ru Bei almost didn't faint from Ruan Nan Candle's anger, "Finish the food! I'm not afraid of gaining weight!!!"

Li Dongyuan had nothing to say and got up to buy chicken legs for these two.

A few minutes later, Ruan Nanzhu and Xia Rupei picked up the chicken leg and started eating it. The taste of the chicken leg in the school canteen was quite good, brined rotten, juicy and soft, full of the unique aroma of spices.

The company has been in the process of developing the new product for the past few years, and has been working on the new product for the past two years.

Ruan Nanzhu finished gnawing on four chicken legs without delay, picked up the fifth, and waved his hand at Lin Qiushi after eating it gracefully: "Can't eat any more."

When he said that, Xia Rupei was also relieved and whispered, "Brother Meng, I can't eat it either."

"It's fine." Li Dongyuan said, "I'll do it." He was worried that Ruan Nan Candle would continue to stimulate Xia Rupei and spoil his stomach, but he didn't think that Ruan Nan Candle still had a sense of propriety.

After eating the chicken leg and wiping his hands clean, Ruan Nan Candle suggested that they go to the place where the senior class was taking classes.

Everyone agreed.

So a few people walked towards the school building.

Ruan Nan Candle was studying the strange group photo again, he seemed to have found some clues on it, but Lin Qiushi couldn't see the black mist in his mouth at all... it seemed to be the same reason why they couldn't hear it and Lin Qiushi could hear the sound.

"They seem to be in class ah." Reaching the bottom of the school building, Lin Qiushi heard the voice of a teacher speaking from above.

"Aren't they about to take their final exams?" Ruan Nan Candle suddenly remembered, "How many days until the final exams?"

"I don't know, I have to ask." Lin Qiushi shook his head.

It was still ten minutes before the end of class, and the four of them took a turn in the school building. Most of the seniors in this building were seniors, and there were a total of sixteen classes in the Arts and Science subjects, spread out over four to five floors.

And they also found the third class of seniors before the end of class, taking a group photo of the classroom where the students above were.

The four of them waited outside for a while, and finally waited until the end of class.

After the teacher left, Ruan Nam Candle walked straight into the classroom and headed straight to his target.

When the student saw Ruan Nan Candle, he obviously remembered their chance encounter in the cafeteria yesterday, and his expression became slightly nervous.

"Can I talk to you?" Nguyen Nam Candle said.

"Talk about what?" The student's attitude was wary.

"Just say it here?" Ruan Nan Candle looked around.

Dazzling people were dazzling everywhere, and because of Ruan Nan Candle, the eyes of the entire class had gathered on the two of them.

The student pursed his lips, his expression very tense, and stood up, "Go out and talk." He said, "I don't know anything."

The four of them followed the student to the small balcony at the end of the corridor, and Ruan Nam Candle asked, "Do you mind telling us your name?"

"My name is Jiang Xinhong." The student said, "If you guys need anything, just ask, I'm about to go to class."

"We're investigating something about your class." Nguyen Nam Candle got straight to the point and took out the photo they found in the archives, "We would like to ask, what is the name of the person missing from the photo?"

He took the photo out and Jiang Xinhong only took one look at it and his face changed, "Where did you find this?"

Ruan Nan Candle raised his eyebrows, "This picture is special?"

Jiang Xinhong didn't utter a word, but Lin Qiushi saw a fear in the depths of his eyes, as if the picture in front of him wasn't a photo, but some stern ghost that was claiming his life. He swallowed heavily, his voice trembling, "I don't know what you guys mean."

"Literally." Li Dongyuan suddenly spoke, his tone very calm, and said, "We're not trying to embarrass you either, we just want to ask who is missing from the photo, and what exactly is her name?"

Jiang Xinhong stared at the photo without saying anything, but his feet took a step back.

"Don't you want things to end sooner?" Li Dongyuan's voice was soft, like the devil that draws people to open Pandora, with a seductive taste, "Just say it, just say it, you're scared too, right?"

Jiang Xinhong's mouth moved slightly and spat out a name: "Lu Zuozi."

Li Dongyuan: "Lu Zuozi?"

"Yes, that's her." Jiang Xinhong said, "someone who shouldn't exist in our class..."

He was about to continue, but the class bell suddenly rang, waking him up, he seemed to react to what he had said, his expression was terrified, no longer paying attention to Li Dong Yuan's words, he turned around and ran.

Li Dong Yuan looked at his back with a helpless expression, "Only a little bit."

"Right." Ruan Nan Candle looked deeply at Li Dong Yuan, "Only a little bit, really, it's a pity."

The author has something to say: just... just want the nutrient solution, just... just my cat humming over to show the white belly for you guys to touch for the nutrient solution.

Cats: aggrieved.

Explain: there is only one door, as long as it is open everyone can get out, as for the door to go out there is no monster guarded, depending on the luck.......
