Kaleidoscope of Death

Lin Qiushi counted, making sure that the door he was about to enter was indeed the fourth one, before walking to the door and reaching out to pull open the iron door in front of him.

Then the scenery around him changed, the rooms around Lin Qiushi turned into low, ancient-style buildings, and the carpet under his feet turned into a narrow, cobblestone path.

This was Lin Qiushi's first time entering the door alone, without Ruan Nanzhu to protect him, he was a little nervous. But soon, this apprehension disappeared and turned into calmness and indifference, Lin Qiushi walked towards the cobblestone slab while looking around at the scenery.

This time, the world inside the gate seemed to be a quaint little town, the surrounding buildings were all quaint little buildings, and a beautiful red lantern was hanging outside of each of them. It is now dark, and each red lantern is glowing with light, illuminating the path people are walking on.

There was no one on the spacious street, and on both sides of the road were many shops and a few residential buildings, Lin Qiushi also saw some shops with majestic stone lions standing in front of them. These shops had traditional characters written on their plaques, Lin Qiushi secretly thought in his heart, this time the world within the door, it couldn't be ancient or something....

He made his way forward and quickly found the place he was supposed to go.

After entering the door more times, Lin Qiushi had experience, basically every time he reached the door at the very beginning, there would only be one path for people to choose. As long as you followed the road, you would reach a spacious place where there were usually people waiting, but this time Lin Qiushi was the first one to arrive.

Lin Qiushi walked into a large courtyard with an open door.

The compound was spacious, and there were lush plants and trees planted inside the atrium that looked full of life.

Lin Qiushi stood and waited, not forgetting to take the bracelet off his hand.

A few days ago, he had mailed this bracelet to the high school girl who had issued the commission, and they would only be able to enter the same door at the same time after both of them wore the bracelet at the same time at the same time.

And if the commission would go through, the schoolgirl would return the bracelet to him. Of course, there were those who might be greedy and not want to return it, but everyone who issued the commission had pledged something very important on the website, and if there was a breach of trust, then there was no way to get those pledges back, and they might even be chased by the website, so there weren't many people who did so.

I don't know what the girl looked like, Lin Qiushi was thinking this, and then he saw a person walk in the door.

When he saw that person, there was a momentary freeze in his expression.

It was a sturdy man of a meter or so, quite handsome looking, who smiled brightly at Lin Qiushi after seeing him.

It would have been fine if it was just that, but on the strong man's body, he was wearing a blue navel-baring outfit on top and a very short white mini-skirt underneath, the mini-skirt was blown by the wind, and Lin Qiushi even suspected that he saw the white bottoms underneath his skirt.

The strong man's not too long hair had an orange carrot hairpin hanging from it.

Lin Qiushi fell into a deep silence as he looked at the stout man's outfit. Although he was very reluctant to do so, he still recalled the clothing described to him by the commissioner on the website.

"People will be wearing a blue navel-baring outfit, a white mini-skirt, and a carrot hairpin on their head, yo." The "high school girl" on the forum described herself this way, "When the time comes, our code word will be, I'll say pika pika first, you say pika pika joe... okay?"

Lin Qiushi thought the girl was a bit cute at the time, but now....

About the same time the big man recognized his costume, and stepped forward to him, saying in that rough, deep voice, "Pika Pika!"

Lin Qiushi: "......." he even felt his body shake when he heard the pika pika.

"Pika pika!" The big man repeated himself, his accent had a bit of a northeastern accent, so he looked even more manly - if he wasn't wearing this outfit, he was really a good man.

Lin Qiushi heard himself struggle to spit out the words, "Pika pika jo..."

"Big Brother!" The strong man slapped Lin Qiushi on the shoulder and said happily, "My name is Gu Longming! What about you?"

Lin Qiushi: "My name is Yu Lin Lin... you..."

Gu Longming probably knew that Lin Qiushi had obviously been hit hard because of his appearance, and quickly explained, saying, "I'm really a high school student, though not a woman!"

Lin Qiushi: "...you've been repeating grades for over ten years?"

The first thing you need to do is to take a look at the shoes you've been wearing for a while.

Lin Qiushi's heart was a little bit pained, thinking that if you often meet such people, no wonder Ruan Nancang's mistaken customers have become commonplace, he does not want to be partners with such a "high school girl".

Speaking of Ruan Nancandle, Lin Qiushi recalled the subtle expression of Ruan Nancandle when he told her that he had taken the commission. Lin Qiushi couldn't help but miss Zhu Meng and Ruan Baijie.

"How many times have you come in here?" Gu Longming, who was obviously a very cheerful character, casually found a stone beside him and sat down, saying, "This is really the fourth time I've done this, and every time the thief is fucking terrifying."

Lin Qiushi: "...you pay attention."

Gu Longming: "Huh? Attention to what?"

Lin Qiushi: "You pay attention to your sitting posture."

Seeing Gu Longming's legs spread wide, the white panties under his little short skirt were in full view... and the subtle bulge, Lin Qiushi felt like he was going blind from looking at it.

"What's this." Gu Longming was completely indifferent, "Don't you have everything I have? Nothing to see here!"

Lin Qiushi: ".......I fucking - he almost couldn't hold back from swearing.

But even though he said so, Gu Longming closed his legs.

Lin Qiushi told Gu Longming the clue about the door before the others arrived.

Gu Longming was in a fog after hearing it and said, "What crybaby, I've never even heard of it."

As Lin Qiushi was about to explain to Gu Longming, two people walked in outside the courtyard, a man and a woman, and from the attitude of both of them, it looked like they should have known each other as well.

They were still talking, but as soon as they saw Gu Longming who was sitting in the middle of the courtyard, they revealed a startled look.

Gu Longming's ability to withstand the situation was clearly strong, and he did not express any discomfort at this difference at all, and even greeted the two men with a smile.

The woman said something to the man sideways, and although her voice was very small, Lin Qiushi still heard it.

She said, "This should be a mental disorder, don't discriminate against people..."

The man quickly averted his eyes and nodded, Lin Qiushi from his expression as if to see what he just looked like, if it is really transgender fetish even if, Gu Longming this goods obviously just to deceive him to take the job ah.

Lin Qiushi thought bitterly, men really are all big liars.

There were seven or eight people who came in one after another outside, including two newcomers who entered the door for the first time.

The two newcomers are girls, who have been crying in fear after coming in, and they will stop after being comforted by the others. After all, not everyone is so strong to endure, and usually for everyone, the first door is the most difficult, is the real ghost gate.

Taking advantage of the gap between the people coming, Lin Qiushi observed the courtyard a little more.

The courtyard was large, the place they were staying was an atrium with dense ornamental plants, and Lin Qiushi's keen hearing also caught the sound of gurgling water. The sound of water seemed to be coming from behind the building, and judging from the sound, it was at least a not insignificant river.

There was also a rather large pond near the right side of the courtyard, but the light was too dark, so Lin Qiushi couldn't see clearly what was around the pond, so he only thought to come back when he understood.

The buildings in the courtyard were a little further in, now hidden in a short patch of trees, Lin Qiushi was observing, and then he saw a little sparkling light appear inside the trees, slowly approaching towards them.

"You guys are here." The little spark stopped not far from them, it was a woman with a red lantern, she was wearing a beautiful cheongsam, her long hair was flowing, her face was somewhat unreadable, she said, "This way please."

The crowd followed her forward.

"There are still seven days left in the River God Festival you wish to attend." The woman walked in front of her, her body swaying and very eye-catching, but everyone just didn't have the heart to think about anything else at this time, "You guys should just wait a little longer, it won't be long... Just seven days later, your wishes will be granted."

She showed a smile, her pale face looking a bit ghostly in the darkness, "This is where you live, if you have any problems, you can call the maid, it's already dark, so rest early." After saying this, the woman turned around and slowly disappeared into the darkness.

"Let's split up into groups, there are usually only two or three people in this room, if there are more than one, it's rather easy to get into trouble." The person who spoke was a man in his thirties, Lin Qiushi remembered that his name seemed to be Yan Shihe. Seeing how seasoned he was, it wasn't quite like he was entering the door for the fourth time, Lin Qiushi guessed in his heart that he might also be bringing people through the door with him.

In just an instant, the group of twelve people quickly split into five groups, and by the time Lin Qiushi came back to his senses, only Gu Longming was smiling at him.

"Little brother, let's live together, shall we?" I have to say, a one meter strong man in a short skirt calling you a little brother is really not something pleasant, Gu Longming reached out and grabbed Lin Qiushi's arm, shyly shaking it, "Okay, okay."

Lin Qiushi struggled, "Okay, okay, you stop shaking, my hand hurts."

The others cast sympathetic glances at Lin Qiushi.

Gu Longming laughed, he was originally a bassoon, hard to pretend to be coquettish is simply numbing: "Really good~"

Lin Qiushi's expression was almost numb, he had never missed Ruan Nan Candle this much.

Although they were divided into six groups, there were actually more than six rooms for them to live in at all, and the row in front of them was full of them, with at least twelve or thirteen guest rooms.

But Lin Qiushi found two randomly and observed them, feeling that these rooms weren't much different - at least not that he noticed at the moment.

It was now getting late, so he and Gu Longming found a random room in the middle of the room and stayed in it.

The room was similar to the style of the courtyard outside, filled with an antique smell. But here's the problem, there was only one bed in one room... Although the bed was quite big....

Lin Qiushi looked at the "female high school student" beside him.

Gu Longming laughed as Lin Qiushi looked at him and said, "Okay, okay, since I've met you, I won't wear women's clothes tomorrow, so don't look at me like that."

Lin Qiushi: "It's not your hobby ah?"

Gu Longming: "No." He said taking off his topless dress, "But it feels pretty good after wearing it today, do you want to try it on too?"

Lin Qiushi shook his head, thinking no can't, I've already tried, not too happy, after all, have to be a mute.

The only illumination in the room was an oil lamp, which, although small, was quite bright, illuminating the entire room brightly, and I don't know what kind of craft it was.

Lin Qiushi and Gu Longming lay on the bed, Gu Longming sleeping inside and Lin Qiushi sleeping outside.

"Aren't you particularly powerful." When Gu Longming was covered with a blanket, he had a pair of dark eyes exposed outside the blanket, and he stared at Lin Qiushi, "You can protect me."

Lin Qiushi lay on the bed and looked at the ceiling, "But I only want to protect the high school girls."

Gu Longming: "Then I'll still wear it tomorrow..."

Lin Qiushi; "..." he was quiet for a moment and resigned himself to his fate, "Well, I actually think you're quite in need of protection." Although you're taller and stronger than me, but who called you a fragile heart.

The two of us closed our eyes, and Lin Qiushi quickly fell asleep.

In the middle of the night, Lin Qiushi, who was sleeping in a daze, heard the sound of beating the bang, someone shouting outside, midnight, beware of the fire and candle.

At first, Lin Qiushi thought it was a cat's cry because it was too small and thin, but his keen hearing allowed him to quickly notice that something was wrong - the sound was coming from their house.

When he realized this, Lin Qiushi was completely sleepless with a jolt, he opened his eyes and saw Gu Longming's rough sleeping face, the product was sleeping deadly deep, apparently not hearing the movement in the house at all.

Lin Qiushi sat up on the bed, he looked around and quickly found the place that made the crying sound - it turned out to be the bag he was carrying.

Lin Qiushi hesitated a bit, picked up his phone and turned on his flashlight mode, got up and walked to the side of his bag.

When he entered, he was carrying a black travel bag with a large capacity, which contained a change of clothes and essential supplies, as well as a small amount of emergency food.

Lin Qiushi propped the bag open a bit and quickly discovered the thing that made crying sounds. What was crying in the bag was actually the skeleton of the baby that he had brought out from the Mt. Waverly sanatorium. He had put the baby's bones in a wooden box when he came in, and now, Lin Qiushi was sure that the cries were coming from the wooden box.

He hesitated a little and took the wooden box out of the bag and heard the baby's tiny cry, which was like a kitten's cry and full of sorrow.

Why would the baby wreck suddenly cry - Lin Qiushi held the wooden box and remembered Ruan Nan Candle's words, these things brought out from inside the door were very important and would play a life-saving role at a critical moment, at this time it suddenly cried, was it reminding itself of something?

So pondered Lin Qiushi as he took the wooden box and walked around the room, and soon noticed something odd - as long as it was closer to the door, the baby's cries became quieter, and it seemed to be rejecting the room!

Lin Qiushi was in awe and quickly went to the bedside to call Gu Longming up.

"What's wrong?" Gurung opened his eyes in a daze.

"Get up quickly, let's get a different house." Lin Qiushi said, "Hurry up!"

Gu Longming sobered instantly, he sat up and said, "Something wrong with this house?" He also heard the child's cry, and his gaze fell to the box in Lin Qiushi's hand, his expression a bit creepy, "What is this thing crying-"

Lin Qiushi said, "Don't ask, hurry up."

Gu Longming oh-so-much didn't bother, panicking and wearing his belly button outfit and little short skirt.

Lin Qiushi: "..." he was starting to regret letting Gu Longming wear his clothes.

After they left the room, the baby wreck in Lin Qiushi's hand really stopped crying.

Gu Longming: "Where are we going then... it's so late..."

Lin Qiushi didn't say anything and took the wooden box and walked around the corridor, discovering that the infant wreck only reacted to a few rooms that were fixed, and it was already late, so wandering outside was definitely a very dangerous thing to do. Lin Qiushi then chose a room that the infant wreck didn't cry in after he went in and stayed there.

"Can we sleep now?" Gu Longming was lying on the bed looking at Lin Qiushi with eyes wide open.

Lin Qiushi said, "Go to sleep."

Gu Longming oh-so-sweetly fell back to sleep, and within three minutes there was the sound of even breathing around him.

Lin Qiushi was really impressed with this kind of person who said he would sleep, he sighed and reluctantly closed his eyes. In the latter half of the night, Lin Qiushi was all in a state of half-asleep, he had something on his mind and didn't dare to sleep too much. The previous door was guarded by Ruan Nan Candle, but this door was not, Lin Qiushi could only rely on himself, so even though he was prepared, there was still a faint uneasiness in his heart.

The good news was that nothing happened until the next day.

Twelve people appeared on time in the hall of the main house, which was filled with a rich variety of hot breakfast.

The successful confession of Gu Longming finally gave up his little short skirt and put on his normal clothes. I have to say that he had a good bottom, he looked quite handsome after changing into normal clothes, and with a good figure, he should be very attractive to the little girls' eyeballs. But attracting attention was impossible here, after all, everyone remembered fondly the awful way the product looked in his little short skirt and pampered.

The taste of breakfast was pretty good, anyway, Gu Longming quite like, ate five or six fist-sized steamed bread in one breath, drank two bowls of porridge, and also ate two salted duck eggs, a face of beauty.

Compared to the other people who couldn't eat or swallow with a sad face, he was simply like a tourist here.

Lin Qiushi really admired this kind of thick nerve.

After he simply finished his meal, he casually found an excuse to go out for a walk, especially to look at the houses where the infant wreck was crying last night.

These houses didn't look like anything special, but Lin Qiushi still found something a little odd - there were a few more tiny holes in the house's window paper.

These holes were small and lowly positioned, and it was unknown when and how they had been made.

But other than that, there didn't seem to be anything special about it.

Lin Qiushi was thinking this, but he saw a few servants in the courtyard, holding a few large fiery red lanterns in their hands, walking towards the outside.

He thought about it and stepped forward to ask them where they were going.

The maids replied that it was the River God Festival coming up, and the streets needed to be decorated, and every doorway had to be hung with these red lanterns.

Lin Qiushi said, "River God's Festival? What kind of holiday is it?"

"It's a festival celebrating the birth of the Heber." The maids replied in a neutral manner, "It's a very important festival in our town."

When they first arrived, the woman had also mentioned about the River God Festival, and they thought that this River God Festival should have an important connection to the key.

As Lin Qiushi was thinking this, someone tapped him on the shoulder, he turned his head and saw Gu Longming supporting his head over and said, "What's up, Lin Lin, any clues?"

Lin Qiushi said, "No."

Gu Longming regretted, "Well, it's only the first day, don't be in a hurry."

Lin Qiushi said, "I'm not in a hurry." There was no use in rushing anyway, instead of torturing yourself.

Gu Longming said, "By the way, do you have a feeling that something's wrong."

Lin Qiushi said, "What's wrong?"

Gu Longming said, "It's... the feng shui structure of this house."

Lin Qiushi didn't know anything about feng shui, but looking at Gu Longming's words, it seemed like he knew something about it, and Lin Qiushi asked, "How so?"

Gu Longming said, "Usually houses face south, and even if they don't, they try to choose a sunny orientation. But this house is different."

Lin Qiushi continued to listen.

Gu Longming pointed to the direction of the sun, "This house is facing south, the doors and windows are all facing the shade, and also, I just found out..."

Lin Qiushi: "Huh?"

Gu Longming said, "The directions of some of the important furnishings in this house are completely opposite to the Yang House."

Lin Qiushi vaguely understood Gu Longming's meaning: "So what you're saying is... this house is not a Yang house?"

"Right." Gu Longming nodded, "Yes. Usually, only a nether house would do that." A nether house was a house for the dead.

Lin Qiushi's expression sank.
