Kaleidoscope of Death

After a few months, Lin Qiushi was about to face his sixth door.

He thought that according to last time, Ruan Nanzhu would let him and Cheng Qianli, who was also going through the sixth door, enter together, but this time Ruan Nanzhu had deliberately separated them.

Although he didn't know why, but Ruan Nanzhu always had her own reasons for doing things, Lin Qiushi didn't ask too many questions.

There were still about ten days left, and Cheng Qianli had gotten his clue in advance. It would have been customary for everyone to help check out the information on the clue, but this time was an exception, as Cheng Qianli's clue had been kept secret, and only he and his brother were the only ones in the villa who knew about it.

The first thing you need to know is how to get rid of it, and how to get rid of it in the first place.

The first thing you need to know is how to get rid of the problem.

After Cheng Qianli finished giggling, he and Lin Qiushi said, "I'll tell you in secret when I get out, did you get your clue?"

Lin Qiushi shook his head, "Not yet." Ruan Nanzhu hadn't given him the clue yet, seemingly considering something.

Cheng Qianli said, "Don't worry with Ruan following you, it will definitely be fine."

"Mm." Lin Qiushi nodded, "I hope everything goes well for us."

"Everything's fine." Cheng Qianli continued to smile heartlessly.

After a few more days, Lin Qiushi finally got the clue to his next door, and this time it was four words: a long, skinny ghost.

"What's this?" Lin Qiushi who first got the clue was a bit confused, "Is it a legend?"

"It's a foreign urban legend." Ruan Nam Candle, "Also known as the Noodle Man by the folk, have you heard of it?"

Lin Qiushi thought for a moment, nodding his head, "Seems to have some impressions." He remembered that he had seen this type of movie.

Ruan Nanzhu threw a datasheet to Lin Qiushi, "Take a look at it first, it's not much information, but it's better than nothing."

Lin Qiushi picked up the data and started to read it.

This information detailed the contents of the Slender Ghost Shadow, a foreign urban legend that spoke of a humanoid monster with long, thin limbs and no face. This monster had long, slender arms and legs, and at first glance looked somewhat like a humanoid spider. They usually roam the wilderness and small towns, and their main prey is stranded children, though they will also prey on adults. Children who are targeted by them will disappear innocently, while adults who are targeted by them will also show strange signs, such as constant nosebleeds, nightmares, and even visions of their worst fears.

The information also explained in detail some of the killing techniques and characteristics of the slender ghostly shadows, such as they liked to wear people on top of tree branches and wait for them to bleed to death, they also liked to pull out their internal organs from their bodies and put them into plastic bags... All in all, even if this folklore wasn't placed in the world within the gate, the average timid person would probably be a little scared after reading it.

Lin Qiushi quickly finished reading the information, he had thought that this was all he had to do to prepare, was to know that Ruan Nanzhu but suddenly offered to take him to buy clothes.

Lin Qiushi was baffled: "Buy clothes, what clothes?"

Ruan Nan Candle smiled, "The clothes you wear inside your door, ah."

Then a confused Lin Qiushi was brought to the mall by Ruan Nan Candle under the pitying eyes of the people in the villa, and at first a few clothes were still normal men's clothes, then they strolled to the women's section....

Ruan Nan Candle had obviously taken it easy and said that he was buying clothes for his girlfriend, but his eyes were darting to Lin Qiushi.

Lin Qiushi didn't understand at first and stupidly said, "Nan Candle you have a girlfriend ah?"

Ruan Nan Candle: "No."

Lin Qiushi: "Then why did you buy women's clothes?"

Ruan Nam Candle: "It's not me who buys it, it's you."

Lin Qiushi: "But I don't have a girlfriend either..."

Ruan Nan Candle carried a few bags and walked in front, heard this and turned his head: "All you wear, what do you want girlfriend."

Lin Qiushi's head was off for three seconds, finally reacted to what was going on, he showed an incredibly frightened look: "Nan Candle - I'm wearing? Me? Wear?"

Ruan Nam Candle: "Yes, you wear it."

Lin Qiushi: "But - can I wear women's clothes like this -"

Ruan Nan Candle's expression was a bit strange: "What do you think you look like?"

Lin Qiushi: "Just the look of a passerby ah."

Ruan Nan Candle fell silent, looking at Lin Qiushi in an increasingly strange way. Lin Qiushi was so creeped out by his look that he didn't dare to ask any more questions and obediently followed him back to the villa.

On the third day, Ruan Nan Candle carried Lin Qiushi, who was hiding in his room, out and started to change his clothes.

Lin Qiushi has been sitting in an office for a long time, his body can't be said to be too strong, just an ordinary male physique, his face is also of the kind of clear and timeless without aggression, double eyelids, his eyes aren't too big, but he smiles beautifully. Ruan Nan Candle sat Lin Qiushi down and took out his tools to start preparing his make-up.

Lin Qiushi's eyes were scared straight: "Nan Candle... can we discuss this?"

Ruan Nam Candle: "Discuss what?"

Lin Qiushi whispered, "Can we not get this?"

Ruan Nan Candle's face was expressionless: "Didn't you ask me if I was happy in women's clothing? I can't say it enough, you might as well experience it for yourself." He curled his eyes, this smile looked fake, "Don't worry, I'll protect you after I go in."

Lin Qiushi almost didn't cry out.

He didn't know any of the cosmetics in front of him, so it felt like Ruan Nan Candle had been smearing on his face for a long time, long enough for him to fall asleep before Ruan Nan Candle straightened up and clapped his hands, "Alright."

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

Ruan Nan Candle handed the mirror to Lin Qiushi, "Take a look at it first, then choose a hairstyle that you like."

Lin Qiushi took the mirror and took a glance at it, and then he was in a trance. He saw a woman's face appear inside the mirror, not the dazzling beautiful one, but it was enough to attract people's eyes.

Lin Qiushi couldn't hold back and said, "Fuck.

"What dirty words do girls say." Ruan Nan Candle, "Do you like long hair or short hair?"

Lin Qiushi: "Long hair..." he wanted to show that he liked girls with long hair, who knew that Ruan Nan Candle picked up a wig and started to put it on his head.

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

After the set was finished, Ruan Nan Candle sat the finishing touches on Lin Qiushi, he about originally wanted Lin Qiushi to wear a dress, but looking at Lin Qiushi's terrified face that he was about to pass out at any moment, he still chose not to irritate him so much the first time, and instead chose a more neutral outfit for him.

Lin Qiushi was forced to put it on and literally wanted to turn around and run - he wouldn't talk much anymore.

Everything was ready, Ruan Nan Candle looked at the person in front of him with a satisfied expression. Lin Qiushi's looks were the clear and handsome one, the outline of his face was not obvious, but rather soft, this kind of facial makeup was enough to fix the disharmony, coupled with Lin Qiushi's already gentle temperament, it could be said that it was very suitable.

"Is that what I'm wearing in there?" Facing the big brother, Lin Qiushi dared not speak out in anger and could only make a grievous attempt to convince Ruan Nam Candle, "Nam Candle, I know it's wrong, can you..."

Ruan Nan Candle raised his eyebrows, "Can't."

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

Lin Qiushi: "But I can't speak in falsetto." Ruan Nam Candle's voice was a bit neutral inside the door, but it definitely didn't give the impression that he was a boy.

Ruan Nam Candle: "Practice."

Lin Qiushi: "It's still ten days to go in..."

Ruan Nan Candle seemingly smiled: "Take your time, there's no hurry, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future, as for this time, you can't talk you can act dumb."

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

Ruan Nan Candle's finger tapped the tabletop, "A delicate, mute woman, isn't this role interesting."

Lin Qiushi: "...Tan Jujube, you come and take him away and bring him into the entertainment industry, the next Oscar is definitely China.

The first thing you need to do is to get rid of the old man's fetish, and then you can get rid of the old man's fetish.

Lin Qiushi finally endured the humiliation and decided that it was better to play dumb, he didn't want to get a strange look from the others.

Because of this women's clothing, Lin Qiushi was also ridiculed by the others in the villa.

"Hahahaha Lin Qiushi you also have today." Cheng Qianli was the one who gave the least face, "But you're pretty good looking like this, much better than Chen Fei."

Lin Qiushi: "Huh?"

Chen Fei was beside himself with a gloomy face, "You have the fucking nerve to talk about me, Cheng Qianli, you don't look at yourself in the mirror."

Cheng Qianli: "Hmph, I'll be a great beauty even if I turn into a girl."

Ruan Nam Candle: "Really?"

Cheng Qianli shivered all over when he heard Ruan Nan Candle's voice and said, "No, no, Ruan, I'm just kidding."

Ruan Nan Candle had a look at him and sat down at the table, "How are you and your brother getting ready over there?"

Cheng Qianli: "It's fine." He ate his food, "The world seems simple this time."

Ruan Nan Candle casually hmmed and stopped asking questions, it seemed like he was very relieved with Cheng Yixie, he just didn't know what was going on with the argument Lin Qiushi heard on the roof that day.

According to Cheng Yicher's personality, he didn't look like the kind of person who would just get into an argument with someone.

But Lin Qiushi didn't know any of this anymore, because the time to enter the house came quickly.

One afternoon over ten days ago, Lin Qiushi was in the living room eating snacks with Cheng Qianli, but as he ate, he turned his head and noticed that Cheng Qianli had actually disappeared.

His first reaction was that Cheng Qianli had gone to the bathroom, but after waiting for a while and not seeing Cheng Qianli return, he realized that Cheng Qianli seemed to have entered the door.

About half an hour later, Cheng Qianli suddenly appeared on the sofa.

His face was pale and he was breathing heavily with his hand on his chest, when Lin Qiushi saw him like this, he quickly said, "Are you alright? A thousand miles?"

Cheng Qianli gave a terrified glance at Lin Qiushi and didn't say anything, rushing towards the upstairs.

When Lin Qiushi saw his panicked appearance, he hurriedly followed behind.

Cheng Qianli went straight to Cheng Yixie's bedroom, didn't knock on the door, and just twisted the knob.

After the door opened, it revealed Cheng Yixie who was sitting on the bed behind the door, he seemed to have just returned, his face still had no expression, and he looked up at the panicked Cheng Qianli: "What?"

"Brother-" Cheng Qianli jumped straight over and grabbed Cheng Yixie with a death grip, "I thought you couldn't get out-"

Cheng Yixie didn't say anything and gently patted Cheng Qianli's back with her hand, calming him down.

It looked like Cheng Qianli was indeed terrified, with a pale face that looked even more ugly than Cheng Yicher's.

These two brothers embraced for a while, and after their emotions had stabilized, Cheng Qianli was a bit less than happy again, squirming and crawling out of Cheng Yixie's arms, touching his nose, "I'm hungry, let's go eat something first."

Cheng Yicher didn't stop him and watched him go.

When Lin Qiushi saw that it was nothing serious, he also planned to leave, who knew that Cheng Yicher's voice came from behind him and he said, "Lin Qiushi, if anything happens to me in the future, will you help Cheng Qianli?"

Lin Qiushi was stunned.

"Forget nothing." Cheng Yicher said, "You go."

He closed the door after saying that, not giving Lin Qiushi a chance to react.

To be honest, Cheng Yixie normally acted completely unlike a sixteen year old teenager, he was cold and calm, more similar to Ruan Nanzhu, perhaps it was the fact that this sixth door was too dangerous that made him suddenly say such a thing.

Lin Qiushi's heart was inexplicably a bit hard.

Back in the living room, Cheng Qianli started to eat snacks again, only this time it was tasteless, and his face was full of weariness.

After Lin Qiushi asked a few questions, he realized that the world within their gate this time was actually an ancient battlefield that had just been fought and encountered many dangers.

Fortunately, they managed to escape in the end.

"My brother and I both have genetic diseases." Cheng Qianli ate a snack and talked about unspoken topics, "Can't exercise, can't even walk when it's serious, and the doctors say we both won't live to be eighteen."

Lin Qiushi listened.

"Then my brother came in first." Cheng Qianli said, "The condition started to improve...and then I went in too." He scratched his head and laughed, "Sometimes I think, there's nothing to be afraid of the door, without it I wouldn't have been able to live like a normal person and I wouldn't have survived long enough."

Lin Qiushi said, "Don't think like that, the days are still long."

"Yeah, it's long." Cheng Qianli's eyes became a bit blank, "And I don't know how I will end my life."

Lin Qiushi listened intolerantly, only then did he realize that the people in this villa were all about to die. Some were prepared for it, some weren't, but without exception, they had all smelled death.

"Good luck with the next door." Cheng Qianli stood up, "I'm going to rest for a while, I'm too tired..."

Lin Qiushi nodded and watched as he yawned and headed to the building.

Probably because there was no particular obsession in his heart, Lin Qiushi was quite calm when he entered the door, he could accept death and was willing to welcome new life.

The difference between Lin Qiushi's door and Cheng Qianli's door wasn't far off, on the night Cheng Qianli came out of the door, Lin Qiushi woke up from his bed in the middle of the night, and after opening his bedroom door, he saw those twelve iron doors appearing in the hallway once again.

The first five iron doors were sealed, while the next six could not be opened, except for the sixth one, which was easily pulled open by Lin Qiushi.

After the familiar heavenly spiral, Lin Qiushi appeared on a petroleum road. The road was empty, with only a black road sign pointing ahead, with three somewhat blurred characters written on it: Tongshui Town.

The road was wide and shrouded in thick fog, he walked for about six or seven minutes before he finally saw the silhouettes of other people in front of him. The figure was somewhat familiar, Lin Qiushi brightened up at the sight of it and called out, "Meng Meng-"

The man in front of him turned his head, a strange face, but a familiar temperament, and said, "Candy?"

Lin Qiushi: "Eat eat eat, I like mint flavored strawberry candy."

He replied, "I don't like it because the fourth tooth hurts."

After matching the secret code and identifying the person in front of him, Lin Qiushi was finally relieved, he said, "I didn't think we'd meet up ahead... Wait, why are you wearing men's clothes?" He glared.

Ruan Nan Candle said, "Did I say I'd accompany you in women's clothing?"

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

Ruan Nan Candle made a shushing gesture and laughed: "Dumb people can't say so much oh."

Lin Qiushi cried and laughed, "Can I..."

"Can't." Ruan Nan Candle already knew what Lin Qiushi wanted to ask and ruthlessly rejected him, "Be a good girl."

Lin Qiushi: "..." he tugged at his long hair and found that it really turned out to be real, and for some reason, he was a bit shorter inside the door this time than outside.

"Let's go, let's find someone first." Ruan Nan Candle looked around, "This fog is making people really uncomfortable."

So the two continued forward.

Lin Qiushi walked behind Ruan Nan Candle and quietly pulled his pants open to take a look, heavily relieved when he saw that certain organs were healthy.

It was good that only the hair had changed and nothing else, otherwise he really wouldn't have been able to cry.

They kept going and finally saw something else in the fog, and a dilapidated town appeared in front of them. This town was full of western style, except that most of the signs were still Chinese.

Lin Qiushi was suddenly a bit curious, "Have you guys ever encountered a foreign scene?"

Ruan Nam Candle: "Encountered, isn't it in front of you?"

Lin Qiushi: "But the sign is in Chinese."

Ruan Nanzhu: "Probably considering the cultural level, I didn't dare to make it in English." He looked at Lin Qiushi, "After all, some people don't even know Chinese."

Lin Qiushi knew he was teasing about pretending he was illiterate last door, he said awkwardly, "Isn't that a special situation..."

They walked inside the town and saw a group of people gathered in the town's not-so-wide square.

Ruan Nan Candle swept a glance and counted out the number of people: "Eight."

Lin Qiushi had started to play dumb and didn't say anything.

The two of them came from the thick fog, attracting some gazes, some of which fell on the handsome Ruan Nan Candle, while others fell on Lin Qiushi.

Lin Qiushi had long hair at this time, his clothes looked slightly empty as his body became shorter, his face was very white and he looked as if he was scared, his black eyes were now casting a helpless gaze towards Ruan Nan Candle - this was a scene that appeared to an outsider, and in fact... ...

Lin Qiushi: Fuck, fuck, they're all looking at me.

Ruan Nanzhu: Just look, you're not missing a piece of meat.

Lin Qiushi: What if they find out I'm a man?

Ruan Nam Candle: Pull out the big guy on the spot and scare them to death.

Lin Qiushi: .......

The above was the content of their eye contact, and Lin Qiushi said that he had nothing to say.

Someone walked towards the two of them, around the time Ruan Nan Candle looked less easy to get along with, that person targeted the poor, weak and helpless looking Lin Qiushi.

Before Lin Qiushi could react, Ruan Nam Candle reached out his hand to stop him, "Something wrong?"

"Nothing." The visitor was a handsome young man who looked to be in his mid-twenties, wearing a very trendy outfit, and he seemed to be interested in Lin Qiushi, "I wanted to ask if you needed any help."

"He doesn't seem to be able to speak." Ruan Nan Candle looked at him, blocking in front of Lin Qiushi.

"Doesn't know how to speak?" The man, however, seemed to find it even more interesting as he said, "Hello, my name is Wang Tianxin."

Ruan Nan Candle: "Lu Meng."

Wang Tianxin saw that Ruan Nan Candle was a bit protective and laughed, "Do you two know each other?"

Ruan Nan Candle said, "I don't know you, but it's always a bit of fate to meet you when you come in."

Lin Qiushi pulled out his cell phone and typed on it: my name is Yu Qiuqiu, nice to meet you.

Both of them saw the words on Lin Qiushi's phone, and Wang Tianxin said, "Oh, so your name is Yu Qiuqiu, it's a cute name." He was slightly shorter than Ruan Nan Candle, at this time he bent slightly and made a gentle expression, "My name is Wang Tianxin, if possible, I would like to make friends with you."

Lin Qiushi pretended to be a little scared and dodged slightly towards behind Ruan Nan Candle. To offer felicitations for nothing, either a traitor or a thief, this Wang Tianxin was suddenly so eager for a stranger he was meeting for the first time, he obviously had a plan. Although he wasn't afraid of him, he wasn't stupid enough to get together and let someone calculate him.

Ruan Nan Candle was also very rude and said, "He seems to be a bit afraid of you, so stay away from him."

Wang Tianxin looked at Ruan Nan Candle and actually turned around and walked away.

Lin Qiushi didn't expect him to give up so easily, but Ruan Nan Candle sneered, seemingly guessing what Wang Tianxin wanted to do.

The people inside the team were all together one after another.

There were still two newcomers, this time both of them were men, one of them was acting relatively calm, while the other one was directly emotionally collapsing and howling all the way.

The good news was that other than crying, this newcomer didn't do anything else drastic.

That Wang Tianxin, after giving up on Lin Qiushi, quickly found another girl. In a short amount of time, that girl and Wang Tianxin already seemed to be well acquainted, they were laughing and talking, and the atmosphere was good.

Lin Qiushi took a look at Ruan Nan Candle.

Ruan Nan Candle knew what he wanted to ask and whispered, "There is a type of people in the Gate who always like to find others to team up with, but of course this teammate might not only be a teammate, but also used to do other things."

Lin Qiushi: For example?

Ruan Nan Candle looked at him with a meaningful smile, but didn't speak.

Lin Qiushi was stirred up by Ruan Nan Candle's smile.

Wang Tianxin was obviously very skilled in this way, the target was also very precise, in the meeting place, he booed those girls who looked incomparably feeble, and easily won their trust.

The mute girl, Lin Qiushi, who is physically handicapped, is apparently even more desirable to him, only to be ruined by Ruan Nanzhu, who has to find another target.

Ruan Nan Candle said, "But follow me well, don't be fooled by others."

Lin Qiushi had a look at him, thinking that it's okay to cheat, at the worst, take off your skirt and we'll compare sizes with each other....

The author has something to say: Nguyen Nam Candle: It's impossible not to act, so you have to watch others act.

Lin Qiushi: .......
