Kaleidoscope of Death

The death of Li Dongyuan seemed to be just a minor incident, and the new leader of the White Deer soon returned to the right track. Soon after, Lin Qiushi heard that Baek Deer had split into two factions: one was the old Baek Deer led by Kim Yu Rui, and the other had left the original base and claimed to be the new Baek Deer.

Ruan Nanzhu wasn't much surprised about this, obviously he had expected it.

"This might instead be a good thing for Jin Yu Rui." Ruan Nanzhu commented, "Her foundation is unstable right now, it's hard for her to control everyone inside White Deer, rather than keeping people with different intentions around, it's better for them to start another one."

Lin Qiushi ohs. He actually found it quite strange, everyone was someone who could die at any moment, what was the point of caring about this bit of fame and fortune. No matter how much you fight, it's just a shovel of yellow dirt in the end.

Ruan Nanzhu listened to Lin Qiushi's words but felt a bit like laughing, he shook his head, his tone was light: "People are always greedy."

I'm not sure how much I can get, but I'm never satisfied.

Lin Qiushi felt that he understood Ruan Nanzhu's meaning, but it was really hard to empathize with what those people were doing. With the contrast between reality and the world within the gate, he had never felt so wonderful to be alive that the satisfaction brought by other things was diluted.

It was like only coming out of the desert to understand one's appreciation and desire for water.

Chestnut's treatment of Lin Qiushi has recently reverted back to its old self, often meowing and whining, jumping onto Lin Qiushi's chest and laying on his back and humming, and she also likes to rub her cheek against Lin Qiushi's chin, looking as if she is whiny.

The first thing you need to do is to take a look at the newest version of the newest version.

When Cheng Qianli saw Lin Qiushi like this, he said, "Ah Qiushi, do you know that you are like a kind mother when you tease a cat."

Lin Qiushi was stunned at the words, "Why not a kind father?"

Cheng Qianli: "... You really know how to grasp the point.

A kind mother is just a kind mother, Lin Qiushi didn't bother to mind such details.

It had been like three months since he came out of the door, and his body was almost recovered. But Ruan Nan Candle still looked weak, although it was already considered to have recovered quite a bit compared to when he first came out from inside the door.

One sunny afternoon, Ruan Nan Candle suddenly found Lin Qiushi and said he wanted to talk to him.

Lin Qiushi went to Ruan Nan Candle's bedroom and saw him sitting on top of a chair next to the window, the warm sunlight coating his body with a faint layer of gold, making his whole body look like it was simply radiating a faint glow.

Lin Qiushi called out to him, "Nam Candle."

Ruan Nan Candle opened his eyes, there was no sleep in them, they were still as deep and serene as a lake, and he said, "Sit."

Lin Qiushi walked in and sat down beside Ruan Nan Candle.

"How is your body feeling?" Ruan Nan Candle asked.

Lin Qiushi nodded, "It's almost recovered."

Ruan Nan Candle looked at Lin Qiushi, this time there was a bit more measuring in his eyes, as if he was assessing Lin Qiushi's physical state, soon Ruan Nan Candle's estimation came to fruition as he said, "You can enter the door alone."

Lin Qiushi wasn't surprised by what Ruan Nan Candle said, in fact he had been thinking about it recently. From the time he touched the door, he hadn't been separated from Ruan Nan Candle, it had always been Ruan Nan Candle who had taken him and protected him, while everyone else in the villa, except Cheng Qianli, had been able to stand alone.

Lin Qiushi didn't want to be a burden to Ruan Nan Candle, rather than being the object of protection, he would rather fight alongside Ruan Nan Candle.

Ruan Nan Candle: "What do you think?"

"It's fine." Lin Qiushi replied, "I also think that I should try it out alone." His eyes drooped slightly, but his gaze fell on Ruan Nan Candle's collarbone, which was very beautiful, with graceful lines, marked as if it was a model only found in sculptures. The only flaw was a dark red scar on the lower part of the collarbone, a mark left by the ninth door on Ruan Nan Candle's body, which still hasn't disappeared. Lin Qiushi suddenly had some regrets, Ruan Nan Candle was perfect, perfect he shouldn't have these marks on his body.

Ruan Nan Candle observed Lin Qiushi's expression and asked him, "Are you afraid?"

Lin Qiushi shook his head.

Ruan Nan Candle said, "Really not afraid?"

Lin Qiushi said, "Not afraid." He was indeed not afraid.

Ruan Nan Candle was silent for a moment and slowly spoke, "I was afraid when I first entered the door alone." He seemed to find it somewhat amusing, "Scared to death, but it's no use being scared, the people around me can't take me forever... Lin Qiushi." He called out Lin Qiushi's name.

Lin Qiushi looked into his eyes, their eyes met and Lin Qiushi heard Ruan Nan Candle speak softly.

His tone was light, but it carried a taste of stubbornness: "But if you're willing, if you're willing - I can protect you for the rest of your life, whether it's your life or mine."

These words made Lin Qiushi's heart beat so hard that his ears flushed a little red, and he actually felt a little embarrassed for a moment.

"Well?" Ruan Nan Candle tilted his head slightly and asked, "As long as you ask..."

Lin Qiushi said, "No, I want to go by myself."

Ruan Nanzhu was silent, the languid air about him instantly narrowed down to an indifference that was as crisp as snow.

Lin Qiushi knew that he had misunderstood something and quickly explained, "It's not that I don't want to, it's that I don't want to." He spoke seriously and his eyes fell back to the wounds on Ruan Nan Candle's collarbone, "I don't want you to suffer these injuries anymore, if I had been stronger... we both could have come out of it intact. Besides, your body isn't well yet..."

He droned on and on, like a long-winded old mother. But Lin Qiushi didn't dare not to be long-winded, he was worried that he hadn't made himself clear and that Ruan Nan Candle had misunderstood what he meant.

He actually wanted to go in with Ruan Nan Candle, but he couldn't be that selfish, Ruan Nan Candle's body hadn't recovered yet and Lin Qiushi couldn't make such a request to Ruan Nan Candle.

Ruan Nan Candle was expressionless at first, but soon his eyes showed some helplessness as he said, "Alright, I get it." The tip of his eyebrows quirked up in a nice curve, "Why didn't I know you were so long-winded before."

Lin Qiushi: "Maybe it was because I wasn't a proper loving father back then?"

Ruan Nan Candle: "......."

Lin Qiushi: "I'm just kidding..."

Ruan Nam Candle stood up from his chair and looked at Lin Qiushi with condescending eyes as he said, "A joke?"

Lin Qiushi was inexplicably suppressed by Ruan Nan Candle's momentum and wanted to take two steps back, but at least he managed to hold back, then he heard Ruan Nan Candle say, "But now you're a qualified and good father."

Lin Qiushi wanted to laugh but didn't dare to.

The difference between Ruan Nan Candle inside and outside the door was too great, causing Lin Qiushi to be a little schizophrenic.

Ruan Nan Candle turned around, walked to the side of the house, took out a key and then bent down, opened the safe placed in the corner of the house and took out a note from it.

Then Ruan Nam Candle returned to Lin Qiushi and handed him the note, "This is a clue for the fourth door, you can take a job on the internet, I can also introduce you to it, when you want to go in, let me know." He intensified his voice, "This time, it's just you."

Lin Qiushi nodded solemnly and took the thing in Ruan Nan Candle's hand.

"Go." After Ruan Nan Candle gave Lin Qiushi the note, he waved his hand at him.

Lin Qiushi turned to leave and on his way out, he saw Ruan Nam Candle back in his chair, half-closing his eyes and looking as if he was a bit tired. He gently closed the door and wished Ruan Nan Candle a good dream in his heart.

It was only after going out that Lin Qiushi read the contents of the clue, which was a sentence: the heavens are terrified, the earth is terrified, there is a crying boy in my house, passing by here to read three times, and sleep until dawn.

It seems to be a strange folk remedy that Lin Qiushi remembers, and it is said that if a child in the family keeps crying, he or she can write the phrase on a slip of paper, and then stick the slip of paper to the intersection where people often walk, and the passers-by will read it more, and the child in the family will stop crying.

I don't know if this was useful or not, but Lin Qiushi pocketed the clues, thinking to see if he could take a job of his own on the Internet.

I have to say, the internet is a really convenient thing, you don't have to meet, you can solve the problem quickly.

After Lin Qiushi made up his mind to take a job, he quickly found his target. A girl who claimed to be a sixteen year old girl posted that she was looking for someone to take her through the door, but she didn't have a lot of money and asked if she could pay in installments.

After reading her profile, Lin Qiushi sent her a private message, asking for some details. I learned that she was a student, currently in her second year of high school, and that the fourth door was in two weeks.

Lin Qiushi showed this information to Ruan Nan Candle and asked if it was okay for just this person.

Ruan Nan Candle's expression was a bit subtle after reading the information, "Are you sure it's just this person?"

Lin Qiushi: "I think it's a little safer to pick a girl than a boy, besides, she's younger too..." it's also easier to handle if you encounter any situation with ulterior motives.

"That's fine." Ruan Nan Candle Dao, "This person registered for the forum half a year ago, so even if there are problems, it shouldn't be a big problem..."

Lin Qiushi said, "What problems can arise?"

Nguyen Nam Candle: "There are so many problems that can arise." He said, "You go find Chen Fei and let him give you a lesson."

Lin Qiushi nodded and said yes.

"Remember to bring your props with you when you enter." Ruan Nan Candle instructed, "Although I don't know what use they are, those things can save lives when it's crucial."

Lin Qiushi hmmmed, indicating that he knew.

After that, Chen Fei gave Lin Qiushi a lesson, giving a science lesson on the most common types of scams encountered inside the forum, one was to lie about the number of doors, this situation was more troublesome for other people, because some of the job receivers didn't have bracelets, they could only enter the door if they were with the job receiver. So when it was discovered that the number of doors was incorrect it was already too late, and it might even be a pitfall situation where the person issuing the commission claimed to be the third door but was actually the fifth.

"What then?" Lin Qiushi didn't think there was such an operation and was shocked, "Only to go in?"

"Yeah, you can only go in." Chen Fei said very straightforwardly, "I got screwed once before I joined Obsidian, I literally wanted to slaughter that guy after I went in. But now we have bracelets, so don't worry about that, if you then find yourself screwed, not the fourth door he said, just take the bracelet off."

Lin Qiushi said, "Okay!"

Chen Fei said, "There's another situation well, it's impossible to prevent."

Lin Qiushi: "What kind of situation?"

Chen Fei said, "Lie about your own information."

The 1.8-meter strong man pretended to be a 1.6-meter girl in order to take the commission with confidence . Chen Fei said that such a situation was actually very common, so that Lin Qiushi could prepare himself mentally....

Lin Qiushi: "...isn't he afraid that I'll identify the wrong person?"

Chen Fei patted Lin Qiushi's shoulder and sighed long, "Don't think too much about it, in fact, we often recognize the wrong person, such as Ruan, and getting the wrong person is already commonplace."

Lin Qiushi: "......." he thought of his first encounter with Ruan Nanzhu.

"There are other things to be aware of, and that is to try not to reveal your identity outside the door." Chen Fei said, "It's a very dangerous thing."

Lin Qiushi said, "I know."

"When are you going to go in?" Ruan Nan Candle seemed to have talked to Chen Fei beforehand and knew that Lin Qiushi was the only one entering the door this time, "After all, it's your first time, let's all give you a good celebration."

Lin Qiushi: "...No, I don't think so." What's there to celebrate about this.

"No no." Chen Fei said, "It's still something to celebrate."

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

He didn't know why Chen Fei was so insistent at first, but then he thought about it carefully and realized what Chen Fei meant. Entering the door alone was a very dangerous thing, it was easy to fold inside, rather than celebrating, this was more like a farewell party prepared in advance, if anything happened inside, at least say goodbye to the people in the villa properly.

Cheng Qianli this product directly cried at the table and said, "Qiushi, go in peace, I will definitely take good care of Chestnut"

Lin Qiushi: "Would you please stop talking."

Cheng Qianli: "Don't say anything, from today onwards, Chestnut is my daughter-in-law, I will take good care of him!"

Lin Qiushi: "Chestnut is a male cat."

Cheng Qianli: "Toast is still a male dog."

Lin Qiushi had nothing to say, he really wanted to give Cheng Qianli a few blows to the skull, anyway, he was so stupid, a few more blows wouldn't be worse. And what if it's like fixing a TV, and then giving it a good shot.

But apart from Cheng Qianli, Lin Qiushi could see that everyone else in the villa was worried about him, although several of them were showing restraint.

There were still two weeks to go before he entered the door, and Lin Qiushi had expected him to spend this time peacefully, but there was another accident, which wasn't really an accident, but Lin Qiushi actually saw Luo Qianshan - yes, the same Luo Qianshan who was with his sister Luo Qianshui in the door they had just left.

Just outside the door, his name was Zhuo Feiquan and his sister's name was Zhuo Mingyu - Feiquan Mingyu, at least it was much better than Cheng Qianli and Cheng Yicher's diatribe.

"That's probably why reading is so important." Cheng Qianli couldn't help himself with grief when he found out about this, "Who would want to have a brother named Yixie when he's called Qianli..."

Cheng Yicher: "Cheng Qianli are you itching for skin?"

Cheng Qianli, who had a strong desire to live, could only take the line, "Of course I will, after all, my brother is so cute."

Cheng Yicher: "Heh."

In fact, after coming out of the ninth door, Ruan Nan Candle investigated about Luo Qianshan's siblings and made sure that they didn't belong to any organization.

These two were too special, a person who had passed through the ninth door and also had a loved one who had passed away, if they were in an organization they would definitely be the focus of attention, and most likely even the leader level of that organization. There were only a handful of large organizations in the country, and even fewer people who had passed through the Nine Gates, so Ruan Nan Candle quickly determined that Luo Qianshan and Luo Qianshui did not belong to any organization.

Ruan Nan Candle wasn't very interested in the two of them, but Cheng Yichao seemed to care and managed to dig out their real-life identities.

How exactly Cheng Yicher had dug out Luo Qianshan's real-life identity, Lin Qiushi didn't ask, but anyway, one day when he was returning to the villa from outside, he saw a young man in his twenties sitting on the villa sofa, angrily arguing with one of the twins.

Lin Qiushi heard the argument from afar, and to sum it up, it was probably the man warning him to stop investigating himself, or don't blame him.

Cheng Yixie didn't say anything, just looked at the man stupidly, with an I'm not, I didn't look like that.

Lin Qiushi looked at the man for a while before he realized that the man was not Cheng Yicher at all, but Cheng Qianli.

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

"Cheng Qianli, don't think I'll believe you if you put on this innocent face." The man said, "Compared to me pretending to be a pig and a tiger, you're still a little young!"

Lin Qiushi listened to his conversation and wanted to tell him that the person in front of you wasn't pretending to be a tiger, he was a real pig....

Cheng Qianli was baffled and aggrieved by the yelling, he said, "Zhuo Feiquan, are you a reasonable person ah, I've said it has nothing to do with me, you look for my brother, it must have been my brother who did it."

Zhuo Feiquan sneered, "Don't try to lie to me, the person in the photo is exactly like you!"

Cheng Qianli: "But my brother and I also look like each other!"

Zhuo Feiquan: "Then I won't be exactly the same! No one has ever mistaken me or my sister for anyone else!" He didn't seem to know that Cheng Qianli and Cheng Yicher were twins, thinking that even though they were brothers, there was still an age difference between them.

The first time I saw him was when I was a little girl, and he was so upset that he almost cried out of frustration, but he had done a lot of bad things to make his brother take the blame. So he looked up just in time to see Lin Qiushi and quickly said, "Qiushi, talk to him, there's something wrong with this man!"

Lin Qiushi said, "Where's your brother?"

Cheng Qianli: "How would I know which little demon he's gone to fool around with."

They were in a stalemate when the door opened again, only to see Cheng Yicher come in from outside with a basket of food, his expression unchanged when he saw the stiff atmosphere in the villa.

And Zhuo Feiquan's expression froze after seeing Cheng Qianli and Cheng Yicher's identical faces, "You guys are really twins?"

Cheng Qianli said angrily, "I've told you all this over three hundred times!"

Zhuo Feiquan was a bit embarrassed: "It's quite similar."

Cheng Qianli: "Can twins not look alike!" He looked at his brother and wanted to get angry, but then he wimped out in the face of Cheng Yixie's eyes and said, "Look at that, look at the little goblin you've provoked back."

Zhuo Feiquan who was called a little goblin: "...."

Cheng Yicher went to the kitchen to put the dishes away and wash his hands, which is why he slowly came out and looked at Zhuo Feiquan, "Something wrong?"

Zhuo Feiquan: "Are you the one who's been investigating me?"

Cheng Yicher sat down across from Zhuo Feiquan: "Right."

Zhuo Feiquan: "Can you-"

Before he could speak, he interrupted him and Cheng Yixie said, "No." He didn't look at all like a sixteen-year-old boy at this point, and he said coldly, "What right do you have to ask me?"

Zhuo Feiquan's eyes sank, he stopped talking and stood up to leave.

As he passed by his side, Lin Qiushi noticed a beautiful pendant hanging from his chest, and on the pendant was a black and white photo of a girl. It was assumed that the girl inside should be Zhuo Feiquan's sister...that is, Luo Qianshui inside the door.

Zhuo Feiquan left angrily, and Cheng Yicher didn't stop him, just told Cheng Qianli to ignore him the next time he met such a person and not even open the door.

"How the hell are you tossing people around." Cheng Qianli asked.

Cheng Yicher sneered, "Ruan and Qiushi both almost lost their lives because of him, so I was soft for not tossing him to death."

Zhuo Feiquan inside the door might be very awesome, but outside the door he was just an ordinary person, and most importantly he didn't join any organization and didn't have any help behind him.

"Alright." Cheng Qianli said, "Don't go too far, or you'll be told by Ruan."

Cheng Yicher didn't say anything and went into the kitchen. Soon the aroma of food came from the kitchen.

Cheng Qianli said, "What's going on inside your door ah, I haven't seen my brother treat others in such an attitude for a long time."

Lin Qiushi said, "It's nothing special..." he also felt that Cheng Yicher's attitude was a bit strange.

In fact most of the time, Cheng Yicher didn't show any strong emotions and didn't seem like the kind of person who would be able to seek revenge, maybe it was really because what Zhuo Feiquan did in the door had annoyed Cheng Yicher?

In this matter, Lin Qiushi didn't think much about it, as the time for him to enter the door was fast approaching.

After Lin Qiushi had prepared everything and booked a secret code and clothes with the person he was meeting, he began to wait for the entrance time to arrive.

One afternoon a few days later, Lin Qiushi felt a change in the atmosphere around him, he pushed open the door and was not surprised to see the hallway transformed into twelve black iron doors.
