Kaleidoscope of Death

At this moment, facing the astonished Jiang Yingrui, Lin Qiushi finally realized the pleasure brought by Ruan Nanzhu's acting. The first thing he did was to become an innocent kitten, trembling in Ruan Nanzhu's arms, and it would be best if he could sob a little.

But even so, the previous performance was enough.

Feng Yongle raged at Jiang Yingrui, "You beast, what have you done to Qiuqiu!"

The first time I crawled up, I had to face Feng Yongle's angry questioning, and he smiled but not laughed: "What can I do, she obviously made the first move--"

"How could she do it first!" Feng Yongle obviously didn't believe Jiang Yingrui's story at all, he was cross-eyed and angry, already treating Jiang Yingrui as an animal who took advantage of the danger, "Look at her, does she look like someone who would make the first move?!"

Jiang Yingrui looked at Lin Qiushi, who looked like a little rabbit, and fell strangely silent.

He was indeed kicked by the girl in front of him, but that doesn't change the fact that he didn't look like her.

Jiang Yingrui knew there was no way he could convince them, so he gave Lin Qiushi a fierce stare, turned around and walked away, looking enraged.

Lin Qiushi's body was still shaking slightly, Feng Yongle looked from the side and thought she was scared, but only Ruan Nanzhu who was hugging him knew that Lin Qiushi was holding her laughter.

"Okay, it's okay." Feng Yongle said, "Don't be afraid, Qiuqiu, that person has already left."

Lin Qiushi nodded his head, indicating that he knew.

Feng Yongle saw that his eyes were red and took pity on him, "Don't be afraid, we'll protect you, next time it's better not to leave Qiuqiu alone, this if we didn't make it over in time and something happens..."

Ruan Nanzhu thought to herself, right, if he kills someone on the spot, things won't be resolved. But he still agreed with Feng Yongle that he was a bit ill-considered.

This matter ended with Jiang Yingrui taking a loss, he probably won't go back and say that he was kicked by Lin Qiushi, and even if he did, how many people would believe him.

But after all this fuss, Lin Qiushi suddenly remembered something, he took out his phone and typed: that nurse before instructed us again not to go out after eight o'clock, is this the rule of the entire nursing home, or is it just our rule?

Ruan Nan Candle was now very much in tune with Lin Qiushi, and with just a glance, he understood, "I'll go find a patient to ask."

They went to a nearby room and casually found a patient who seemed to be in a relatively normal mental state and asked about the nighttime doorstop.

The patient, who was wearing a hospital gown and had no expression on his face, said indifferently upon hearing their question, "Naturally, you can't come out at night."

"But why can't you come out?" Feng Yongle said, "How long has this rule been in place?"

"It's been a long time." The patient said, "As to why it can't come out, how do I know." His tone was cold, and his fingers were strung together somewhat nervously, "Perhaps it was to deal with something that we could not see."

Lin Qiushi pondered his words.

"That... "Feng Yongle wanted to ask something else, but this patient growled very irritably, "I don't know, don't ask me anything, don't ask me!" He shouted, and even smashed the iron bed with his hands, with a hideous appearance as if he might jump up and fight with them at any moment.

Seeing this man's appearance, they also knew that they should ask nothing else, so they could only stop.

"So can we come out at night or not... "Feng Yongle was a bit sad, feeling that there was still no certainty about this. Moreover, they didn't dare to try, after all, if going out at night was a condition of death, it would be finished if something really happened.

Ruan Nan Candle said, "We'll know after tonight."

"How so?" Feng Yongle didn't understand.

Ruan Nan Candle pointed to the room where they had been guarding the corpses just now: "If we come to see this place become empty tomorrow, or the corpses become fewer, then that means they are dealing with the corpses at night, in that case we should be able to leave the room as well."

Feng Yongle dawned, "So that's it!"

"If there's no less, then we'll have to use other methods to find the tunnel," Ruan Nan Candle said, "But other methods are too inefficient." Seven days flew by, and now that the clues to the key were still unclear, they couldn't waste too much time on the matter of finding the tunnel.

The three of them discussed these matters, went to the cafeteria to settle a simple lunch, and in the afternoon, it was Feng Yongle who continued to guard the room while Lin Qiushi and Ruan Nanzhu went to other places to see if there were any other clues.

They went around the sanatorium to make sure that there wasn't a single doctor in the entire sanatorium, and occasionally they could only see some nurses in nurses' uniforms.

In fact, these nurses looked even worse than the patients, almost all of them looked dazed, as soon as they went to talk or wanted to ask something, their expressions were panic-stricken.

"I don't know anything." This time was no exception, before Ruan Nan Candle even asked a question, this nurse turned around and ran, this time her appearance and expression directly pissed off Ruan Nan Candle, he directly reached out and grabbed the nurse's arm to stop her from leaving, "We haven't asked anything yet, why are you running?"

The nurse was held by Nguyen Nan Candle, her expression scared to death.

"Or, do you already know what we're going to ask?" Ruan Nan Candle raised his eyebrows.

The nurse swallowed heavily, her eyes a little wandering.

Ruan Nan Candle increased the strength of his hands, "Well?"

The nurse looked pained, but just when Lin Qiushi thought she wouldn't say anything, she whispered, "She's looking for him."

Ruan Nan Candle said, "What?"

Nurse: "She's looking for him...he's the one who killed her."

What she said was very vague, leaving people in the clouds.

Ruan Nan Candle, however, seemed to understand: "Then where is he?"

"I don't know, no one knows..." said the nurse, "but he's in this nursing home." After saying this, she stiffly wrenched herself out of Ruan Nan Candle's grasp and hurriedly ran away.

"That doctor is in the sanatorium, but the sanatorium is so big..." with no one around, Lin Qiushi didn't type and spoke to Ruan Nan Candle in a low voice.

Ruan Nan Candle shook her head, not answering but falling into deep thought.

The day ended like this, they couldn't find any more clues about the doctor. The word doctor seemed to be a taboo in the sanatorium, whether it was the patients or the nurses, as long as they heard this word, they all reacted greatly, either with a frightened expression or just turned around and ran away.

Feng Yongle squatted in the place where the corpse was kept for almost a day, and after the three of them converged, they exchanged clues with each other.

Feng Yongle said, "Someone from this place where the corpses are kept has come over several times and is transporting corpses into it, I think the room is almost full... they have to clean it up."

Now they were sitting in the dining room, eating and discussing.

Ruan Nam Candle, on the other hand, told Feng Yong Le about their speculations as well, and Feng Yong Le sighed after hearing, "But where are we going to find a doctor."

This was indeed a problem.

When he was about to finish eating, Ruan Nan Candle took out a small lump of rice from the bowl and stuffed it into his own pocket after putting it into a plastic pocket.

He did this very quickly, Feng Yongle didn't even notice, but Lin Qiushi did see it, so he cast a puzzled look at Ruan Nancandle.

Ruan Nan Candle, however, did not explain, but smiled slightly at Lin Qiushi.

Lin Qiushi didn't ask any further questions either.

After settling dinner, the three of them returned to their residence, and Feng Yongle exclaimed that this door was really friendly, it had been three days and no one had died yet....

"Yeah, I guess when the seven-day time limit is really up, then a whole lot of people will have to die." Ruan Nan Candle said so lazily, "There's only one left to get out... do you think you're the lucky one?"

Feng Yongle laughed bitterly, "I wouldn't dare say that."

One in fourteen probability, as long as the bet failed it was death, who would dare to bet like that.

"You guys chat first, I have something to do, I'm going out." Ruan Nanzhu suddenly got up and opened the door and went out.

Feng Yongle was stunned at the sight of the door, "Where are you going?"

Ruan Nan Candle ignored him.

"Where is he going with this?" Feng Yongle looked at Lin Qiushi with a dazed face.

Lin Qiushi spread his hands, indicating that he didn't know either.

It was good that Ruan Nan Candle went and came back quickly, returning from outside in less than three minutes.

Feng Yongle was going to ask what exactly he was doing to go, but seeing Ruan Nan Candle's face you don't ask anything, he had no choice but to stop.

Lin Qiushi was also quite curious, Ruan Nan Candle leaned in to his ear and whispered, "Don't worry, we'll find out tomorrow."

Lin Qiushi: ".......so what the hell did you do to go.

As night fell, the three of them lay on their respective beds and prepared to sleep.

The sound of high heels sounded again in the corridor, Lin Qiushi had gotten used to it and simply pretended not to hear it. According to the pattern of the last two days, the nurse who committed suicide will probably come over to jump again later, Lin Qiushi thought to himself that he really hoped that her jumping sound would be quieter, so as not to wake him up.

So, Lin Qiushi fell asleep in a daze.

Although he had made plans to be woken up, Lin Qiushi was still shocked when he was woken up by a sharp scream. He opened his eyes and saw that Feng Yongle on the bed next door was also awake, and was now staring at him with a frightened expression.

"Help - help -" this time there was no sound of jumping, but a miserable plea for help that belonged to a human, someone running in fear in the corridor as if being chased by something.

Lin Qiushi sobered up in a flash, as this cry for help was very familiar - it was from Xue Zhiyun who was attempting to trip them up.

"Help!!!" Xue Zhiyun's screams were miserable, as if he was being chased by something extremely terrifying.

"Ahhhh, ahhhh-" the miserable cries were accompanied by the puffing sound of a sharp instrument piercing a person's body, a sound that sounded oozing as if it was right outside their door.

There was another hurried running sound, then Xue Zhiyun seemed to be caught by the thing, and the screams began to become faint.

Lin Qiushi and Feng Yongle both sat up from the bed.

Xue Zhiyun's voice eventually stopped, and Lin Qiushi heard the sound of a heavy object being dragged outside the door, followed by a loud bang - Xue Zhiyun seemed to have been thrown directly downstairs.

This was the fifth floor, even if Xue Zhiyun was still alive, he would definitely be dead if thrown down.

Lin Qiushi slowly stood up and walked over to the window. Through the window, he saw Xue Zhiyun's corpse.

Her corpse was face down, her entire body's bones were in a twisted posture, there was absolutely no way she was still alive. And right beside her, there stood a fierce ghost covered in blood, the same nurse who kept jumping off the building every night, and was now smiling a strange and contented smile, holding a long, sharp knife in his hand, with blood on the blade.

Lin Qiushi slowly retreated back into the house.

Outside the house there was a sound of cursing, followed by miserable cries for help and running, the supposedly silent night actually became a bit noisy because of these sounds.

Both Lin Qiushi and Feng Yongle couldn't sleep, but Ruan Nanzhu was still always big-hearted, except for the very first time when he seemed to wake up for a while, after that he was lying on the bed without moving, looking like he was really asleep.

Lin Qiushi sat directly on the bed for the night until the first light of morning appeared outside, then he was relieved.

Feng Yongle and Lin Qiushi were about the same, and after dawn, they quickly got up and opened the door to see what was going on outside.

As a result, as soon as they opened the door, they were shocked by the scene in the corridor.

They saw that almost every inch of the entire top of the corridor was soaked in blood, and even the ceiling was full of blood.

Lin Qiushi's eyes swept around the corridor and soon discovered that the room where the accident occurred was the one where Jiang Yingrui and the others were.

Lin Qiushi suddenly thought of something, and he walked to the door of that room, wanting to look at the room number on it. The room number here was somewhat special, it was a printed cardboard, inserted into a small transparent frame. And because of that, this room number could easily be changed.

But what puzzled Lin Qiushi was that the room number in front of him wasn't 502, but still an ordinary room number on the fourth floor. Come to think of it, Jiang Yingrui had tried to do the room number changing thing before, he must have been very, very careful himself.

Wait, Lin Qiushi suddenly noticed something....

"What's wrong?" Feng Yongle asked Lin Qiushi.

Lin Qiushi shook his head and pointed at the house.

Feng Yongle said, "Want to go in and take a look? Wow, it's full of blood..." he turned around and entered the house.

As Feng Yongle entered the house, Lin Qiushi reached out and took down that room number, as soon as the room number was in his hand he felt that something was wrong, it was too thick. Lin Qiushi turned the room number to one side and saw another number on the back of the room number: 502.

In an instant, Lin Qiushi understood what Ruan Nan Candle had done - he used rice pellets and glued the room number, 502, behind the original room number of Jiang Yingrui's room.

Lin Qiushi dropped his eyes and tore off the 502, then wiped the traces of rice pellets with his fingers before putting Jiang Yingrui's room number back, throwing the number 502 into his pocket as if nothing had happened.

Feng Yongle didn't see Lin Qiushi's actions, he was still observing the room that was already soaked in blood, he obviously didn't find any clues in it, shaking his head and sighing out of the room, "Guess they're all dead."

"I don't know." Lin Qiushi said, "But I only saw Xue Zhiyun's body."

There were three people in Jiang Yingrui's team, one was Xue Zhiyun, and another adult male who had little presence. There was absolutely no way that Xue Zhiyun was the only one who died last night, so it was a question of where the remaining two corpses had gone.

"Is it downstairs?" Feng Yongle muttered.

Lin Qiushi: "It's possible..."

The rest of the team was gradually coming around, and with three missing this night, everyone was naturally a little uneasy.

And most importantly, why was this room suddenly in trouble.

"Where did they go during the day yesterday? Did all three of them trigger the death condition." There was a rustling discussion in the crowd, "I think I saw them go into the room where the bodies are kept."

"But I went in too." Someone sniffed in horror, "Why am I still alive..."

"Perhaps the death toll has been met?" The person who spoke was a seemingly mild-tempered middle-aged man whose name seemed to be Cheng Dao, and he said, "After all, even if everyone meets the death conditions, they may not all die cleanly overnight."

As soon as he said that, the faces of all those who had entered the room where the corpses were kept yesterday changed.

But it was true, there was a limit to the number of ghosts killing people inside the door, otherwise it would be easy for them to just all die in one night.

"Did you guys see their corpses?" Cheng Dao asked, "I only saw that girl's."

"We have one over here." Someone answered, "The man who was with them." This man was also thrown straight down from the fifth floor by the nurse just like Xue Zhiyun, but since it was a different orientation, all Lin Qiushi and the others didn't see the body either.

Lin Qiushi had thought that this man was Jiang Yingrui, but after seeing the corpse, he was sure that this man was not Jiang Yingrui.

"There's another corpse?" Everyone was feeling a little uneasy.

It would definitely be hard to escape in that situation last night, unless, Jiang Yingrui had some special method. Lin Qiushi, however, inexplicably thought of the note that once had detailed clues, could it be that Jiang Yingrui also... He frowned slightly.

While everyone was discussing, Jiang Yingrui actually appeared outside the door, and rightfully so, he attracted everyone's attention.

"What, what's wrong?" Jiang Yingrui's gentle inquiry was a fake looking smile.

Lin Qiushi saw him and slightly stared at him - he hadn't expected Jiang Yingrui to suddenly appear!

"What are you guys looking at me like that for." Jiang Yingrui's tone was calm.

"You... aren't you already..." the others were a little incredulous, Jiang Yingrui should obviously be dead, why are you standing here intact at this point.

"Oh." Jiang Yingrui said, "It's like this, last night, because I had some trouble with them, so I switched rooms to sleep, is that okay?"

The crowd was silent.

This explanation was naturally fine, but everyone felt that something wasn't quite right.

Lin Qiushi was the same, he looked at Jiang Yingrui's relaxed appearance, but he somehow felt that he was lying.

Jiang Yingrui, however, wasn't going to continue explaining, as he swept his gaze around the crowd and said, "Where's Ruan Baijie?"

"Ask him what for?" Feng Yongle was annoyed with Jiang Yingrui.

Jiang Yingrui said, "It's natural to look for him for something." He laughed, "Because I suspect that Xue Zhiyun and the others were killed by Ruan Baijie."

Lin Qiushi looked at him without moving a muscle.

"What are you babbling about!" Feng Yongle was very unhappy, "Obviously you wanted to get us killed, if we hadn't been found out, we would have been cold-"

Jiang Yingrui didn't say anything and turned to the door, then picked up the room number.

"How is it?" Feng Yongle sneered.

Jiang Yingrui observed the house number in his hand and finally said nothing.

Lin Qiushi shoved his hand into his pocket and slowly fondled the 502 room number.

While they were talking, Ruan Nam Candle also appeared at the door, his hands clasped over his chest, looking at Jiang Yingrui with a seeming smile and saying, "Yo, what are you talking about?"

Jiang Yingrui raised his eyes and met Ruan Nan Candle's gaze, as if they had sparked.

"Nothing." Jiang Yingrui smiled, didn't say anything, and turned around to walk away.

Ruan Nan Candle watched his back indifferently.

Lin Qiushi walked to Ruan Nam Candle's side and stretched out his hand to pull his sleeve. Ruan Nan Candle touched his head: "Good boy."

Lin Qiushi had a sidelong glance at him, wanting very much to say don't touch my head - or hair to be precise.

"Come on, let's go have breakfast." Ruan Nanzhu stretched his back.

The three of them went towards the cafeteria.

Casually, Lin Qiushi shoved the room number in his hand into Ruan Nam Candle's hand. Ruan Nam Candle wasn't surprised to receive this room number and put it into his pocket with a natural movement.

"It's gotten stronger." Ruan Nan Candle said this with a smiling face.

Lin Qiushi smiled and didn't say anything.

"In the future, our Qiu Qiu will be even more powerful-" Ruan Nan Candle lengthened her voice with a bit of laughter in her tone, "Maybe it will be Qiu Qiu who will protect me."

Lin Qiushi wanted to tell Ruan Nan Candle to stop acting, but it wasn't convenient. He now strongly suspected that the reason Ruan Nan Candle told him to keep quiet was because it was convenient to take advantage of him.

Feng Yong Le, however, is touched by the affection between the two of them and says, "You two are so close, is it like this in reality too?"

"Yeah." Ruan Nan Candle said smilingly, "I'm sleeping in the same bed as Autumn Autumn."

Feng Yongle thought about that image and coughed dryly, his expression slightly subtle for some reason.

Lin Qiushi didn't see what Feng Yongle was thinking about, but he thought about Jiang Yingrui again, and his intuition told him that Jiang Yingrui was definitely in their original room last night. But there was no telling what method he had used to escape last night's terrifying scene.

But for a moment, Lin Qiushi couldn't find any specific clues as to what it was.

"Alright, don't think about it." Ruan Nan Candle, however, understood the problem Lin Qiushi was struggling with, and he said, "Fill your stomach first, then think of something else."

Lin Qiushi nodded and picked up a steamed bun and stuffed it into his mouth.

Ruan Nanzhu looked at him with a smile.

Lin Qiushi was a bit hairy from his look and typed, What are you looking at me for?

Ruan Nan Candle: "Nothing." His tone was slow, "I just feel that you are extraordinarily cute today."

Lin Qiushi shivered, strongly suspecting that this Ruan Nan Candle product was on the wrong medication.

"Alright, I'm just kidding." Ruan Nam Candle braced his chin and yawned, "Do you have any thoughts about that doctor?"

Lin Qiushi and Feng Yongle both shook their heads, indicating that they didn't have any ideas.

"I do have a guess." Ruan Nam Candle said, "Why do you think that nurse has been unable to find the doctor she wants to find?"

Feng Yongle was dumbfounded and asked, "Why?"

Nguyen Nam Candle: "Did it ever occur to you that perhaps the doctor, at all, was not a member of the sanitarium?"

Lin Qiushi was stunned at the news.

The author had something to say Ruan Nan Candle: The child has finally grown up....

Lin Qiushi: Right, finally I can help you with the aftermath?

Nguyen Nam Candle: Finally you can wash and eat....

Lin Qiushi: ????
