Kaleidoscope of Death

Although Tan Zao Zao wanted Lin Qiushi to help her persuade Ruan Nanzhu, but Lin Qiushi didn't think he was in a position to do that. After all, entering the gate was not like traveling, no matter if you were crossing the gate by yourself or with someone else, you had to take a huge risk.

So after that Lin Qiushi didn't mention this in front of Ruan Nanzhu again.

The summer was over, the weather was getting cooler, the students were on winter break, and the year was coming to an end.

A few people left the villa to celebrate the New Year. Lin Qiushi originally thought he was the only one here, but Ruan Nanzhu said he wasn't going back either.

"You're not going back either?" Lin Qiushi was slightly surprised, he knew very little about Ruan Nan Candle as a person, he didn't know the background of Ruan Nan Candle's life in reality, and he didn't know why Ruan Nan Candle had entered the door at all.

"Not going back." Ruan Nan Candle said, "I don't have anyone at home anymore."

Lin Qiushi sounded oh, didn't look into it and started studying the menu for the New Year's Eve dinner. Ruan Nanzhu was not a picky person, she ate basically everything and was a very good feeder.

Lin Qiushi stared at the menu, but suddenly remembered something, he hesitated for a moment before saying, "Right... do you mind, if I ask you a question?"

Ruan Nam Candle looked at the computer without turning back: "Speak."

Lin Qiushi: "What was the cause of your death?"

Ruan Nan Candle moved, raised his hand to close the computer and looked at Lin Qiushi.

Lin Qiushi was shocked by Ruan Nan Candle's gaze and was about to say I'll just ask, it's okay if you don't answer, when he heard Ruan Nan Candle say, "I don't know."

Lin Qiushi: "Huh?"

Ruan Nan Candle's tone was flat, like he was talking about something unimportant: "Not everyone knows the reason for their death."

Lin Qiushi thought about it and felt as if it made sense, who knew how he would die until the moment he died. Thinking about it this way, he was very lucky though, because he knew how he would die, so there was less confusion about the unknown in his heart.

"There's nothing to know." Ruan Nanzhu lifted his hand to look at his watch, "It's almost time."

Lin Qiushi knew he was about to enter the door again and was about to persuade him that tonight was New Year's Eve, otherwise let's take a day off, but before he could finish his sentence, the person in front of him disappeared.

Lin Qiushi: "....... "Alas, never mind.

He went downstairs and started preparing the New Year's Eve dinner.

There were only three people left in the villa at this point, and apart from the two of them, Yi Manman had stayed behind and was now chopping meat mince in the kitchen. Don't look at Yi Manman's pretty face, but the posture of chopping meat looked quite ferocious, holding two kitchen knives dong dong dong dong and chopping the meat to pieces in less than a moment.

Lin Qiushi didn't know what rules they had for New Year's Eve dinner and decided to make some dumplings and vegetables.

Lin Qiushi fished up the fish he had bought and put in the pond, killed them cleanly and started scraping the scales: "Do you eat squirrel fish? Or a sauerkraut maker?" He remembered that Ruan Nam Candle would eat anything, as long as it tasted good enough.

Yi Man Man said, "Anything, squirrel fish bar, looks good."

Lin Qiushi nodded and lit the oil on fire.

While he was heating up the oil, the villa's doorbell rang, Yi Manman was kneading the noodles and couldn't get away, so Lin Qiushi said, "I'll go open the door." He went to the door and looked outside through the monitor and found that it was actually Tan Zao Zao and Zhang Yiqing.

Lin Qiushi hesitated a little and called Ruan Nam Candle, Ruan Nam Candle would definitely not enter the senior door at this moment, the low level door would be solved in ten minutes and should have come out of the door by now.

As expected, Ruan Nam Candle answered the phone and asked him what was the matter.

"Tan Zao Zao is coming over with Zhang Yiqing." Lin Qiushi said, "Should we let them in?"

"Put." Ruan Nan Candle said.

Lin Qiushi hmmmed and raised his hand to open the door.

Tan Zao Zao saw Lin Qiushi and said, "Happy New Year, Qiushi!"

Lin Qiushi nodded, "You guys come in, sit anywhere in the living room, I'm cooking, he knows you're here, just wait for a while."

Tan Zao Zao said good.

Zhang Yiqing followed behind Tan Zao Zao, his entire body was almost skinny, his chin was full of green stubble, and he looked incredibly haggard. But his spine was still straight, and his look couldn't be described as eager, so I could tell that this man was still very proud.

Lin Qiushi averted his gaze with just a glance at him, how this person was or wasn't had nothing to do with him, whether to bring him or not, he had no say.

Tan Zao Zao and Zhang Yiqing sat in the living room, and a moment later, Ruan Nan Candle came down the stairs from the second floor. Today he is wearing a collarless black sweater, he didn't wear a jacket because the house was quite warm, the sweater is a little bit close to his body, which makes him a standard hanger with broad shoulders and thin waist. His hair was a little too long, and he didn't cut it, but just tied it up in a little bun at the back of his head.

Ruan Nan Candle walked over to the sofa in front of Tan Zao Zao and sat down, picking up a date and nibbling on it: "Go ahead."

Zaizou Tan smiled bitterly, "Nan Candle... I'm sorry..."

Ruan Nam Candle: "What are you apologizing for?" He looked towards Zhang Yiqing, his tone was not polite at all, "If you have something to say, say it quickly, it's New Year's Eve, you don't want to keep outsiders for dinner."

Zhang Yiqing pursed his lips, his expression tensed out in a tight curve, just when Tan Zaozhu thought he would be angry, he said, "Mr. Ruan, I'm very sorry for my previous rudeness, I hope you can forgive me."

Ruan Nan Candle leaned back on the sofa and looked lazy: "Tell me, what did you encounter in the second door."

Zhang Yiqing sighed, "Something very bad."

In the end, having written the script, the description was vivid, saying that the person who was the White Deer inside the second door was extremely unreliable, giving clues that were not only wrong, but also died before him. The worst part was that the second door took on the flavor of Battle Royale, and Zhang Yiqing had to make a move on his teammates in the end.

Ruan Nan Candle listened to his words without moving a muscle: "You killed someone?"

"No." Hiram Chang said, "I just wounded them so they couldn't move, but..."

But inside the door, a wounded person is almost as good as dead, as soon as the door opens, the monsters inside the door will be agitated, and then those who can't move will have to wait there to die.

Ruan Nan Candle nodded his head to show that he knew and said, "Then what did you want to do this time?"

Zhang Yiqing sighed, "I... want to implore Mr. Ruan to forgive me for my previous offense." He was too conceited at the time, and coupled with the fact that Ruan Nan Candle was really pretty, he had been in the entertainment industry for too long and had taken it upon himself to label Ruan Nan Candle as a vase, plus the slander against Ruan Nan Candle from the White Deer side....

Ruan Nan Candle: "What did they say over at White Deer?"

Zhang Yiqing didn't dare to say it directly, his expression a little embarrassed: "Words are hard to hear..."

Ruan Nanzhu: "But there's no harm in saying it."

Zhang Yiqing coughed and spoke in a low tone: "Saying that you serve people with sex..." it was quite tactful, but to be blunt, he was saying that Ruan Nan Candle was relying on his pretty face to solicit customers.

Ruan Nan Candle laughed coldly as he said, "Well, I know."

Zhang Yiqing wanted to stop talking.

In the end, Tan Zao Zao couldn't hold back and whispered, "Brother Ruan, can you help Brother Zhang, he really didn't do it on purpose."

Ruan Nanzhu said, "I won't take him." He spoke with certainty, not a bit of discussion.

Tan Zao Zao sighed, knowing that she couldn't persuade Ruan Nan Candle.

"However, I can introduce you to another organization." Ruan Nan Candle said.

Zhang Yiqing said, "Another one?"

Ruan Nan Candle read the hesitation in Zhang Yiqing's expression and said indifferently, "Don't worry, trash like Bai Deer doesn't even deserve to lift his shoes, but I need to give you a precaution first."

Zhang Yiqing: "Huh?"

Nguyen Nan Candle: "The leader of that organization is a fan of yours."

Zhang Yiqing: "........"

Ruan Nan Candle: "Or the kind with a bit of a brain disability, buying all your movies and staying home every day to watch them."

Zhang Yiqing coughed, not sure why he felt a little ashamed.

Ruan Nan Candle: "If you think it over, I'll give you his contact information."

Zhang Yiqing didn't hesitate this time, nodding her head directly and agreeing, although she couldn't let Ruan Nan Candle take him herself, but thought the person he introduced wouldn't be any worse - at least it would be more reliable than Bai Lu's group of pitbulls. Zhang Yiqing was in a huff at the mention of White Deer, and in the end, it was thanks to him that the other member of White Deer came out alive.

"Alright, it's getting late, you guys should go." Ruan Nan Candle looked at his watch and sent the guests off very unceremoniously.

Tan Zao Zao supported her head and looked towards the kitchen, grieving, "Brother Ruan can't you keep us for a meal? It smells so good."

At this moment, Lin Qiushi was frying fish in the kitchen, and the house was filled with the rich aroma of fish.

"Can't." Ruan Nam Candle was very ruthless, "Hurry up and go."

Tan Zao Zao: "....... "Every now and then, she starts to miss Ruan Nan Candle inside the door, at least Ruan Baijie girl is a bit more humane than Ruan Nan Candle.

Failing to scuffle, Tan Zao Zao and Zhang Yiqing could only take their leave.

After they finished talking, Lin Qiushi's squirrel and cinnamon fish was just ready and brought out to see Ruan Nam Candle sitting alone on the sofa: "Leaving?"

Ruan Nan Candle nodded.

"Oh." Lin Qiushi said, "What kind of filling do you like for your dumplings, I've prepared leeks, cabbage and mushrooms....

Ruan Nan Candle looked towards Lin Qiushi, who was now wearing an apron with a soft expression, the warm light beating down from the top of his head, plating a faint layer of orange on his cheeks, making him look even softer and full of a warm taste that belonged only to the mundane world.

It had been a long time since anyone had asked him this question, and Ruan Nan Candle answered after a while, "Cabbage it is."

Lin Qiushi didn't notice Ruan Nan Candle's difference, nodded and turned around to go back to the kitchen to continue cooking.

Eating New Year's Eve dinner and watching the Spring Festival Gala, although there were only three people in the house, the atmosphere was good.

After watching it, the three of them went to the roof to set off fireworks, which were bought by Yi Man Man, Lin Qiushi originally thought that Ruan Nam Candle wouldn't accompany them, but he said it would be fine to come along.

The sky was dark, beautiful fireworks exploded above their heads, and the sound of firecrackers sounded elsewhere as well. On today's night, they didn't have to worry about any scary monsters appearing or dying suddenly.

As the new year arrived, Lin Qiushi looked up at the night sky and actually began to look forward to the future.

After New Year's Eve, everyone went back to the villa one after another.

Cheng Qianli and Cheng Yixie were the first to return, and they carried a lot of things in big bags, most of which were special products from their side.

"My mother was the one who had to let me bring it." Cheng Qianli grumbled, "Ten pounds of meat ah - I asked her to mail it over and she insisted on saying it was different, how is this different? Is it smelling better with my sweat on it?"

Emmanuel: "Can you not talk so disgustingly?"

Cheng Qianli: "Wow, don't eat later if you're disgusted!"

According to Yi Man Man, Cheng Qianli and his family make the best preserved meat, especially the bacon, cut thinly steamed after the fragrance. The fried pea slices were also particularly fragrant, and the boiled soup tasted good, so all in all it was very popular.

When Lin Qiushi came here, the preserved meat had already been eaten up, so I had to wait until this time to taste it.

Cheng Qianli and Cheng Yicher were both from ordinary families, and if they hadn't met the door, they might have left this world because of a genetic disease. But they are still here at this time, and although they are dangerous, there is a chance of survival.

Life was so good, who wouldn't want to go on.

Lin Qiushi looked at them and smiled.

After the year was over, it was time to get back to business.

Ruan Nan Candle found Lin Qiushi and told him something.

"I want to enter the sixth door once more." Ruan Nan Candle said, "Do you want to go in with me?" He didn't directly inform Lin Qiushi like before this time, but mentioned it in a questioning tone.

"Is it a clue that you're going to find me the seventh door?" Lin Qiushi asked.

"Yes and no." Ruan Nan Candle said, "I actually have a clue for the seventh door on hand, but from the clue, it's not a good place to enter."

Lin Qiushi thought about it, "What's the clue?"

Nguyen Nam Candle said, "It's also a painting." He didn't elaborate, "But based on the background of the painting, it's likely a world with no rules to follow."

Lin Qiushi: "No rules to follow?"

Ruan Nan Candle nodded and explained, "The further you go, the fainter the traces of the law's existence will be, even if they are untraceable."

Lin Qiushi was a little surprised at the words, "Then wouldn't it be impossible to do anything at all."

Ruan Nan Candle said flatly, "Yes, the most dangerous times won't give you time to think at all, you can only rely on your intuition. So..."

Lin Qiushi: "Huh?"

Ruan Nan Candle said "So you'll have to brush up on yourself more in the future as well."

Intuition was something that mostly relied on experience, and only after seeing the strange and bizarre world within the door could you react at the first time you encountered an unusual situation.

"Then I'll go this time." Lin Qiushi gave his answer, "It's safer to have you with me now than when I go through the door alone, practice more so that I won't be lifeless later."

"Good." Ruan Nan Candle nodded his head to show he knew.

The exact time to enter the door had yet to be set, but Nguyen Nam Candle first told Lin Qiushi the clue to the door, this time a place: the Mt. Wifoli Sanatorium.

The Mt. Waverly Sanatorium was located in Kentucky in the United States, and was a very famous sanatorium in history.

Founded in 1910, this sanatorium was established to treat a serious outbreak of tuberculosis at the time. However, because of its chaotic management, it became a burial ground for patients instead.

Countless people were said to have died in the sanatorium, and the medical treatment was of a kind of horror movie absurdity and horror.

Doctors even resort to inserting balloons into patients' lungs to inflate them and remove their ribs - just to expand the lungs to breathe more oxygen.

Of course such acts only bring pain and death. More than eight thousand people died in the Mt. Welford sanatorium. The good news is that the tuberculosis was gradually cured and the sanatorium was left vacant.

But it was not abandoned, but continued to be used as a nursing home, only in the process, the old people who lived there were constantly subjected to abuse, and electric shock was a normal treatment at that time, so you can imagine, it almost became another hell.

Such a background was creepy to look at, and one didn't have to think about how horrible things could happen in a place like this inside the door.

After Lin Qiushi finished reading the information, he asked Ruan Nam Candle, "Did you take the job on the website for this door?"

Ruan Nan Candle: "Yes, you can also visit the website, you can now take jobs on your own, but don't take them too often, after all, some of the people on the website are very unreliable."

Lin Qiushi nodded his head, indicating that he knew.

He was usually watching this website, there were all sorts of strange people on it, and the usual posting of tasks to receive them was fine, but the pay varied greatly, and there were even people using their bodies as salaries.

"The entrance is probably at the beginning of next month, and I've already sent out the bracelets." Ruan Nam Candle said, "Wait for it."

Lin Qiushi said, "Okay, I know."

There were still more than twenty days to the beginning of next month, a generous amount of time.

In the time since returning from home, Cheng Yicher had also taken Cheng Qianli into the door a few times, but they were all low-level doors and not very dangerous.

Cheng Qianli was still afraid of ghosts, but the more afraid he was, the more Cheng Yicher wouldn't let him hide. In Cheng Yicher's words, if you've seen more, you won't be afraid.

This would have been an ordinary person Lin Qiushi felt that this method should still work, but Cheng Qianli's IQ was there and Lin Qiushi had serious doubts about it. After all, this product could watch a movie for a month and forget about it, and Lin Qiushi often found him watching the same movie.

"Didn't you watch it last time?" One time Lin Qiushi couldn't hold back.

"I've seen it?" Cheng Qianli looked surprised, "How come I don't remember."

Lin Qiushi: "Are you a goldfish...the murderer is A."

Cheng Qianli: "Fuck you, don't be dramatic!"

Lin Qiushi saw that his expression didn't look like a fake, so he gave up and sighed thinking that it was no wonder Cheng Yicher had such a headache over this brother.

After the year, there was a reply from Zhang Yiqing's side, and he connected with the person introduced by Ruan Nanzhu and even went in with that person once.

Zhang Yiqing praised that person's strength, but also tactfully said a bit about that person's shortcomings. That person's shortcomings weren't really much, but he was too enamored with Zhang Yiqing.

"Hahahahahaha I'm fucking laughing to death." Tan Zao Zao and Lin Qiushi hiccupped with laughter when they said this, "You don't know I was dying of laughter, as soon as Zhang Yiqing went there, that brother dragged Zhang Yiqing to watch the movie that Zhang Yiqing himself acted in, how embarrassing it was, after the embarrassment was over that person even took out a notebook, it was full of reviews of this movie written on it, there was at least 70,000 to 80,000 words on it. "

Lin Qiushi: "......." he sounded ashamed.

"I was there too, you don't know, I've never seen Zhang Yiqing's defeated expression like that, I was really dying of laughter-hahahahaha." Tan Zao Zao laughed very rudely, "The worst part is that he still needs help, he doesn't dare to say it!"

Lin Qiushi quirked a smile, "Did it go well in that door?"

Tan Zao Zao: "Smooth ah, you are not unaware of many people inside and outside the door are completely two personalities, the fan brother inside the door is still very reliable." She said, "How about you? Is it coming in the door again?"

Lin Qiushi hmmm.

"Then be more careful." Tan Zao Zao instructed.

"I will." Lin Qiushi said.

It was very torturous for many people to get out of the six doors and go back in after a hard time. It was even easy for the mind to just collapse, which was why Ruan Nan Candle didn't force Lin Qiushi to follow him.

But Lin Qiushi's behavior was always amazing, as if death was not something unacceptable to him. He had an open attitude and a calm demeanor, which Ruan Nan Candle could also do. But the reason he did it was because he had experienced the horrifying world within the door countless times.

So essentially, Ruan Nan Candle was an ordinary person.

But Lin Qiushi didn't feel that he was any different, he had been like this since he was a child, he hardly ever wanted to try anything exciting.

He liked to be ordinary, didn't feel anything bad about it.

And now that he was suddenly pulled into the world of doors, Lin Qiushi quickly got used to it and got used to it, he had always been a very adaptable person.

The time to enter the door was almost up, and Ruan Nan Candle began to take Lin Qiushi around the mall again.

Having the experience from last time, Lin Qiushi carefully asked, "Nan Candle, I don't have to wear the clothes from last time this time, right?"

Ruan Nan Candle looked at him: "No need."

Lin Qiushi was about to let out a sigh of relief when he heard Ruan Nan Candle: "This time you're wearing a skirt."

Lin Qiushi: "Huh? But I haven't practiced my pseudo-voice yet!!!"

Ruan Nan Candle: "What's wrong with being a mute girl?" He spoke calmly as if he were talking about something unimportant, "Aren't you happy?"

Lin Qiushi: "...unhappy."

Ruan Nan Candle: "Then learn to be happy."

Lin Qiushi almost didn't kneel down to Ruan Nan Candle on the spot.

He returned to the villa in a blur of consciousness, and was suddenly overcome with grief at the pitying looks cast by a group of people, saying, "Why, why is it me..."

Cheng Yixie sat on the sofa and opened his mouth rarely, his tone carrying three parts sympathy and seven parts coldness: "Someone has to be unlucky."

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

Cheng Qianli said, "Yeah, just hold on for a bit and it'll pass."

Lin Qiushi: "..." he gave up on himself thinking that the rest of his time would be better spent simply practicing falsetto, if Ruan Nan Candle kept being so bad taste, he couldn't be a mute for the rest of his life.

Ruan Nan Candle was satisfied with Lin Qiushi's knowledge of the times, he said, "You're a bit better than Chen Fei."

Chen Fei almost didn't cry when he heard this, the size of his door was a strong man of one meter and a half not suitable for women's clothing at all, was tossed by Ruan Nan Candle several times, each time the other people inside the door as a pervert who wore women's clothing, yet he who had paid so much was now ruthlessly discarded... This is really, great!!!! Chen Fei showed a sad expression, but laughed in his heart, thanking Lin Qiushi for saving everyone from the flames and fire, sacrificing his ego to accomplish the greater self!

Lin Qiushi shivered silently as he watched Chen Fei's expression, he always felt that it didn't look like he was grieving, but rather like he was stifling laughter ah .

So, when exactly would he be able to persuade Ruan Nanzhu to give up this strange hobby....

The author has something to say: Lin Qiushi: You can do whatever you want as long as you don't let me wear women's clothes!

Ruan Nanzhu: Can I fuck you?

Lin Qiushi silently picked up the skirt on the floor.

Ruan Nan Candle: Tsk.
