Kaleidoscope of Death

In the dark corridor, Ruan Nanzhu kept raising his hand to check his watch.

Five minutes is not a lot of time, especially in the dangerous door, but it was just a few minutes that flew by.

Lin Qiushi had already entered the house, and the surroundings were silent, and all that could be seen was the bright and fading flames at the end of the corridor.

The hour hand was turning little by little, one turn, two turns, three turns... Just when it had turned the fourth time, Cheng Yixie finally couldn't help but lower his voice. Cheng Yicher finally couldn't help but ask, "Will he come back?".

Ruan Nanzhu looked at Cheng Yixie and didn't reply, but his eyes told Cheng Yixie the answer - Lin Qiushi will definitely come back.

Cheng Yicher sighed slightly in his heart and stopped talking.

There were still thirty seconds left, but there was still no movement inside the door.

But the movement inside the mirror was getting bigger and bigger, and even the silhouette of Luo Qianshui could be seen occasionally, so it seemed that five minutes was really her limit.

Ruan Nanzhu's eyes stopped at the second hand of his watch.

Luo Qianshan who was standing next to him suddenly said, "Qianshui, don't hold on."

There were still fifteen seconds to go until their agreed time, but Lin Qiushi still hadn't come out, it seemed like it was a bad luck. Luo Qianshan wasn't surprised by this situation, the door was originally an extremely dangerous situation, and besides, they had something to hide.

The key was indeed hanging on the wall. It was just that there were more than one key hanging on the wall. Luo Qianshan had confidence in Zhu Meng, he had a hunch that if Zhu Meng was the one who went in, he would be able to find the real key within five minutes. But then it was a different man called Yu Linlin, so he wasn't sure.

But these things were all decided by Zhu Meng and the others themselves, Luo Qianshan didn't bother to say anything.

Tick tock, the few seconds seemed long at this point.

Luo Qianshui, who had fallen out of the mirror in a mess, seemed to be a little injured, and mouthed, "Did you get it?"

When Luo Qianshan saw her appear, he shook his head in a sullen gesture.

But as they spoke, there was a slight noise from the corridor, and something landed on the corridor carpet.

Others might not be able to see it, but Ruan Nan Candle could see it clearly - the moment before the door closed, a bronze key was actually thrown out from inside the door. There was no need to think about who threw out that bronze key. But although the key was out, the person was locked inside.

A thick gloom appeared in Ruan Nan Candle's black eyes.

He slowly walked over to the happy-looking Luo Qianshan, who was still talking to Luo Qianshui, he seemed to have noticed something wrong with the atmosphere at his side, and was about to turn his head, but he felt a cold sharp object against his neck.

"Get in." Ruan Nan Candle's cold voice came.

"What?" Luo Qianshui was stunned at the sight of the situation, "What are you doing-" she glared, seemingly completely unaware that Ruan Nan Candle would suddenly get angry.

Ruan Nan Candle raised her hand to look at her watch and without hesitation increased the force in her hand, the sharp dinner knife cut through Luo Qianshan's skin, shedding bright red blood. Luo Qianshan hated, "Kill me if you can!"

But Ruan Nan Candle laughed as he said, "You think I don't dare?"

Luo Qianshui didn't speak, she judged from Ruan Nanzhu's tone that the person in front of her really dared, really dared to plunge that sharp blade, into her brother's neck.

Unlike her, Luo Qianshan was a human who would get hurt and die, Luo Qianshui gritted his teeth, "I'll give you another thirty seconds..."

Ruan Nan Candle sneered: "One whole minute, one second less and your brother will die here."

Luo Qianshui: "You-"

Luo Qianshan was shaking with anger at the suddenly angry Ruan Nan Candle, he didn't expect Ruan Nan Candle to make such an ill-advised move for the person who entered the house.

"Yicher, you come." Ruan Nan Candle handed the knife in his hand to Cheng Yichel, "If he dares to resist, stab him straight in." His tone was sure, not like he was joking in the slightest.

Luo Qianshan also knew that Ruan Nan Candle was serious. This person was simply a madman who didn't follow common sense, the average person who saw the key would have long forgotten about his teammates, who would think of going to such a dangerous place to get someone out!

Luo Qianshan gave Luo Qianshui a look, and Luo Qianshui was about to nod slightly when he heard Ruan Nanzhu continue to instruct, "Watch the watch, one minute, Luo Qianshui will do it directly if he dares to come out one second early."

Cheng Yicher said, "Good."

Luo Qianshui raged, "Zhu Meng you cheater who goes back on his word!"

Ruan Nan Candle sneered, "Liar? How dare you call me a liar? You actually came out early for the promised five minutes; if he dies, you'll all have to be buried with him."

Luo Qiandao: "It's only five seconds early - even if you give him five more seconds-"

The rest of her words broke off in Ruan Nanzhu's cold, frosty eyes.

Luo Qianshui knew that there was no more room for maneuvering on this matter, so he turned around angrily and entered the mirror in front of him again.

Ruan Nan Candle looked towards the end of the corridor, and after the mother and daughter disappeared again, he drew up and ran towards the room Lin Qiushi had entered.

A minute was but an instant.

Ruan Nan Candle opened the door and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Lin Qiushi not far from the door. He rushed into the house and wanted to take Lin Qiushi away from the room.

However, at this time, the entire house had already started to burn with flames, and the temperature was frighteningly high, Ruan Nan Candle coughed in a low voice, and with great difficulty, he picked Lin Qiushi up and walked towards the door.

A few short steps seemed to turn into a bridge through hell.

The hot ground and the burning fire scorched Ruan Nam Candle's skin, and it was said that the pain level of burns was the highest, Ruan Nam Candle was in pain, but his steps were steady.

Step by step, ten seconds later, Ruan Nam Candle finally left the already roasted and almost deformed house and reached the corridor.

Lin Qiushi was still sleeping in his arms, and when Ruan Nancandle lowered his head, he could see his sleeping face, he dropped his eyes, what he was thinking was that it was good that Lin Qiushi had fainted, otherwise what if he saw his face now?

"Zhu Meng!!!" Cheng Yixie was trembling with fear from the other side of the corridor.

The flames on Ruan Nanzhu's body were extinguished only after he fell and rolled a few times on top of the corridor.

But these few movements seemed to have exhausted all his strength, and he didn't move again for a while.

A minute was almost up, and just as Cheng Yixie was thinking about whether or not to go over to help, Ruan Nam Candle struggled to get up from the floor, he found the key on the floor, and then with great difficulty dragged Lin Qiushi back to their side.

Tick tock, one minute's time had just arrived.

Luo Qianshui came out of the mirror half covered in blood, she was also injured, and when she looked up she saw Ruan Nanzhu, who had been burned beyond recognition. Ordinary people who suffer such injuries are afraid that they would have already fainted, but Ruan Nan Candle is actually still conscious, he leaned against the wall, those black eyes coldly stared at Luo Qianshui, the voice also lost the previous clear and pleasant, hissed by the smoke: "The key is found, looking for the door."

Luo Qianshui panicked and took a look at Luo Qianshan.

Luo Qianshan's look was also slightly complicated, but it was the first time he saw someone like Ruan Nan Candle, he said, "Door, I have no clue, I still have to look for it layer by layer."

It was just that Ruan Nam Candle had such heavy injuries, yet he didn't know if he could hold on until he found the door.

Ruan Nan Candle stopped talking, and just when the others thought he had fainted, he actually opened his mouth again and spat out four words, "Safe passage."

Luo Qianshan was stunned.

"Go to the safe passage." Ruan Nan Candle's voice sounded so weak that one needed to be very serious to hear it clearly, "The door is most likely there."

As they spoke, the temperature around them began to gradually rise.

Cheng Yixie thought it was his illusion at first, but he soon realized that it wasn't - the entire corridor was burning.

The wallpaper was starting to blacken, and there were flames coming out from inside the walls.

"There's no time to lose!" Luo Qianshan hadn't expected such a situation, and he said, "They've disappeared!"

Cheng Yixie turned her head, and sure enough saw the mother and daughter at the end of the corridor disappear out of the room, but the two charred figures appeared in the mirror around them.

The others inside the team also noticed the difference and started to come out of the room one after another.

"What's going on, what's going on..." the noisy discussion was disturbing.

Ruan Nan Candle suddenly said, "Yixie, stay away from the mirror."

When Cheng Yicher heard this, he hurriedly took a step forward. As soon as he stepped out, the mirror behind him let out a crackling sound and a pair of black arms reached out from the mirror, trying to grab him in front of it.

"Hurry up and get out of here." Ruan Nan Candle held onto the wall and struggled to stand up, he said, "Take him..."

That he, naturally, referred to Lin Qiushi who was still unconscious.

Luo Qianshan's eyes sank as he looked at the appearance of these three, his hand just reached into his pocket but was grabbed by Luo Qianshui beside him.

Luo Qianshui gave him a pleading look and slowly shook his head.

Why... Luo Qianshan's eyes showed confusion, don't you hate her?

Luo Qianshui stood on tiptoe and leaned in to Luo Qianshan's ear, "She reminds me of myself in the beginning."

Luo Qianshan's movements stopped, his expression showing some pain, he looked at Luo Qianshui, then at Ruan Nan Candle, and finally did nothing.

The safety passage was at the end of the corridor, and four green characters were particularly eye-catching in the darkness.

But moving from here to the safe passage was no easy task, countless pairs of charred black hand arms appeared in the mirrors on both sides of the corridor's perimeter, these arms broke through the mirrors and tried to drag the living into the world belonging to the dead in a hard manner.

Luo Qianshan held on to Ruan Nan Candle.

Ruan Nan Candle had a look at him: "You won't kill me?"

Luo Qianshan didn't say anything, but from that expression, he looked like he wanted to do something to Ruan Nan Candle.

"You should be glad you didn't do it." Ruan Nan Candle, however, laughed, his face burned beyond recognition, but his eyes were frighteningly bright, "Otherwise, at this moment, it's still uncertain who will die and who will live."

Luo Qianshan was silent for a moment, "Didn't you ever think that you might not be able to get out if you went in?"

Ruan Nan Candle: "Never thought of it."

Luo Qianshan's expression twisted slightly, feeling that for a moment he was actually unable to say anything more about Ruan Nan Candle's incomparably confident attitude, he could only say, "He's important?"

Ruan Nan Candle spoke calmly, "Whether it's important or not I don't know, I only know that if it was me who went in, he would have gone in to find me." He had this confidence that Lin Qiushi was this kind of person.

Luo Qianshan didn't speak.

As they left the corridor, several people inside the team were grabbed by black arms and pulled into the world of mirrors just as hard.

As soon as these people fell into the mirror, their bodies began to catch fire, and the miserable screams coming out of their mouths were simply unbearable to watch.

Good thing they had Luo Qian Shui by their side, Luo Qian Shui could enter the mirror and dispose of those charred arms first.

"I've found the door, I've found the door!!!" Someone suddenly shouted, yelling down the hallway, "It's in this room, come on guys..."

"The door?" Luo Qianshui was delighted at the news and looked towards Luo Qianshan.

Before Luo Qianshan spoke, Cheng Yicher faintly said, "That person isn't alive." The person shouting was the dead person they had found mixed in with the team, toes back and heels forward.

"The key, I have the key!" Another dead man began to yell, their screams particularly clear in the midst of the screams, and as it turned out they drew a few living people over.

"What about you guys, won't you come over here?" The man looked at Ruan Nan Candle and Luo Qianshan and the others.

"No." Luo Qianshan said, "You guys can play by yourselves."

The man wanted to say something else after hearing that, so Luo Qianshan said, "Stop in moderation."

When the man heard this, his expression twisted for a moment, but he actually turned around and walked away, and as soon as the two people he had tricked into going into the house, the door of the house fell locked, and then miserable screams and the smell belonging to meat being cooked were heard in the house.

It was hell here.

After moving with difficulty, they finally reached the door of the safe passage.

Luo Qianshan looked towards Ruan Nan Candle, "The door is really here?"

Ruan Nan Candle was already a few very weak, and was able to keep quiet, but when he heard Luo Qianshan's question, he just raised his eyes, looking like you love to believe it or not.

Luo Qianshan didn't bother to ask any more questions and pushed open the fireproof door. After the fireproof door, a black iron door did appear, and the large lock hanging from the top of the iron door was telling them that this was the way to leave.

Luo Qianshui wept with joy.

Ruan Nanzhu handed the key to Cheng Yixie and instructed him to open the door.

After Cheng Yixie opened the door to reveal a tunnel filled with light behind, he bent down and picked up the clues and put them in his pocket.

"We're leaving first." Luo Qianshan looked at Ruan Nan Candle, "Take care."

Ruan Nan Candle whispered, "Take care."

Luo Qianshan and Luo Qianshui entered the tunnel together, the moment they stepped into the tunnel, Luo Qianshui, who was standing beside him, disappeared, apparently she could only exist in the terrifying world inside the door, and as soon as she left the door, she disappeared.

Cheng Yixie was about to ask Ruan Nanzhu to come with him, but he found that he had already fainted, and he sighed softly, putting Lin Qiushi, who was carrying him, on the ground as well, dragging them out by their legs.

The flames had already reached the entrance, and as long as they walked a little slower, they might not be spared - as for the only place that would survive, who knew who it would belong to.

As the tunnel came to an end, Cheng Yixie's peripheral image turned and he appeared in the villa.

After he returned to the door, he quickly walked directly towards Ruan Nanzhu and Lin Qiushi's room, and after knocking on the door with no movement, Cheng Yixie used the spare key to open the door, and indeed saw two faintly breathing people in the room.

One was as white as a sheet of paper, and his breath was almost gone, while the other was lying in a pool of blood, as if he had been cut off.

Cheng Yicher quickly called an ambulance and took them to the hospital.

Then, they began to wait for the long awakening of the two.

Ruan Nan Candle could be said to have picked up a life, and if it wasn't for his extraordinary physical qualities, he would have been lost halfway to the hospital.

Lin Qiushi was slightly better than Ruan Nanzhu, but he was also close to organ failure due to blood loss.

All in all, it was pure luck that these two survived.

Cheng Yixie had been very silent while guarding the two of them, and Cheng Qianli poked the back of his brother's head with his finger when he brought him food and said, "Little friend, why do you look like that, what are you thinking about in your little brain."

Cheng Yicher cold eyes stared over, Cheng Qianli second wince: "Fine, fine, you can think whatever you want, I'll eat first." Then muttered really fierce.

Cheng Yicher is very rude: "Even if I say your IQ can't understand."

Cheng Qianli: "How do you know I can't understand if you haven't said it yet?"

Cheng Yicher's face showed disdain.

Cheng Qianli was aggrieved and couldn't refute, who called him really stupid.

The two of them were in a coma for two days, Lin Qiushi woke up first, Ruan Nanzhu woke up later, and they stayed in the hospital for more than two months before their bodies gradually recovered.

The only variable was that Cheng Qianli pushed Lin Qiushi, who was in a wheelchair, every day to play with a flying car, flying from one end of the hospital garden to the other, and the surrounding nurses and patients all gave them retarded looks.

Finally, Lin Qiushi couldn't take it anymore and said to Cheng Qianli please let me go, I'm just a poor patient, why are you doing this to me.

Cheng Qianli very shamelessly explained, "Exercise is good for recovery!"

Lin Qiushi almost collapsed at the news, "But it's the wheelchair that's exercising and not me-"

Cheng Qianli: "Doesn't rounding up in your wheelchair equate to exercise for you?"

Lin Qiushi had nothing to say, and after staring at Cheng Qianli with big eyes for a while, he stood up from his wheelchair and walked away silently himself.

Cheng Qianli: "Hey hey hey? You can walk-"

Lin Qiushi cursed, "My fucking leg isn't broken, so why can't I walk."

Cheng Qianli showed regret.

In the evening Lin Qiushi told Ruan Nan Candle about it.

Ruan Nan Candle was still lying in the hospital bed, his face was better but his breath was still weak, he said after hearing it, "You're the only one who can play with Cheng Qianli."

Lin Qiushi: "....... "Why did he always feel like this was scolding him.

When Ruan Nanzhu saw Lin Qiushi's expression as if he had eaten shit, he couldn't help but smile.

His body was still in an unhealed state, and the injuries he suffered inside the door had affected his body so badly that he couldn't even get out of bed now. Lin Qiushi was chatting with Ruan Nan Candle when his eyes suddenly moved to his hands.

"Lin Qiushi?" Ruan Nan Candle saw Lin Qiushi suddenly quiet down and gently called out to him.

Only then did Lin Qiushi came back to his senses and smiled apologetically, "Sorry, I got distracted."

"What were you thinking about?" Ruan Nan Candle asked him.

Lin Qiushi: "Nothing." He paused for a moment and pursed his lips.

"Go ahead." Ruan Nan Candle's voice was gentle.

Lin Qiushi was quiet for another moment before saying, "Does it hurt?"

When Ruan Nan Candle looked into Lin Qiushi's eyes and reflected that he was asking about the injury inside his door, he tilted his head as if he was seriously recalling, and only a long while later did he hmph.

Lin Qiushi reached out and grabbed Ruan Nam Candle's wrist. He moved very gently, obviously afraid of hurting Ruan Nam Candle, and turned Ruan Nam Candle's wrist over on one side to see the gauze wrapped around it.

During the dressing change, Lin Qiushi had seen the wound.

It was a long, bloody wound that looked out of place on Ruan Nam Candle's fair skin. Lin Qiushi had also seen the wounds elsewhere on Ruan Nan Candle's body, those wounds were so dense and crisscrossed that even just looking at them, one could feel a subtle ache.

Ruan Nan Candle wasn't a delicate person, even he felt the pain, it must have been particularly painful.

Lin Qiushi's fingers fondled the skin on Ruan Nan Candle's wrist, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.

Ruan Nanzhu also didn't ask, the two of them just stared at each other quietly.

Lin Qiushi's lips opened and closed slightly, and he was about to say something to break the silence, but Cheng Qianli just happened to come in from outside, holding a huge fruit basket in his hand, and said, "Brother Ruan, Tan Zao Zao and the others are here to see you."

Tan Zao Zao stood behind Cheng Qianli, supported a head out and said, "Brother Ruan, how are you."

As soon as she came in, she saw Lin Qiushi holding Ruan Nanzhu's wrist and tsked, "Qiushi, why are you taking advantage of Brother Ruan while we're not here." She shamelessly leaned in, "Who doesn't want to touch Brother Ruan's hand..."

Ruan Nan Candle silently took his hand out of Lin Qiushi's hand and stuffed it under the blanket.

Tan Zao Zao had a regretful expression.

Lin Qiushi: "...Can't you be a little more reserved, Tan Zao Zao.

Cheng Qianli put the fruit basket beside him and said what do you want to eat ah, I'll wash.

Tan Zao Zao doesn't return: "You pick out the lychee, the beauty should eat the lychee."

Ruan Nan Candle: "Tan Zao Zao."

Tan Zao Zao: "Alas?"

Ruan Nan Candle: "Do you think I can't cut you because I'm sick?"

Tan Zao Zao said, "I'm not, I'm not." It wasn't like it hadn't seen much of the frail Ruan Nan Candle suddenly had a different ♂ feeling.

Ruan Nan Candle: "You wait for me."

Tan Zao Zao was unimpressed and wimped out, looking at Lin Qiushi in aggravation and saying, "Brother Lin, you persuade Brother Ruan, he wants to slash me."

Lin Qiushi said, "What kind of knife to slash with, can a fruit knife slash?"

Tammy: "...you wretched pair of dog man-boys.
