Kaleidoscope of Death

It's impossible to practice pseudo-sound, it's impossible to practice pseudo-sound for the rest of your life, and girls don't know how to do it, it's just the only way to live as if you insist you're a boy.

Because of this question asked by Ruan Nanzhu, Lin Qiushi was afraid for several days that he would suddenly ask her to go shopping and buy two sets of dresses or something.

But the good thing was that Lin Qiushi's worst fears didn't happen. One afternoon, after Ruan Nanzhu came back from outside, he said to Lin Qiushi, "I've met with them, and I've made an appointment to go in." Ruan Nan Candle wore a long skirt and simple make-up on his face as he said this. It was just that this makeup didn't make his appearance more colorful, instead it deliberately downplayed his pretty parts, making him look very ordinary. To be honest, Lin Qiushi had to admire Ruan Nancang's make-up skills, as he was so unremarkable in the crowd except for his special height.

In order to hide his height, Ruan Nan Candle deliberately made a bent back posture, giving him an air of being a meek, damp mushroom in the corner.

Of course, this air immediately changed after returning to the villa, and when Lin Qiushi saw him come in from outside, he took off the wig on his head with a bit of impatience, threw it aside and said, "You'll come along then."

Lin Qiushi: "Me too?"

Ruan Nam Candle, "Well, the door they went through is supposed to be clueless, so it's going to be a little tricky." He said, "You're with me."

Although Lin Qiushi wanted to avenge Wu Qi personally, he was still worried, "Will they suspect..."

Ruan Nan Candle seemed to be smiling: "As long as they enter the door, they can suspect as much as they like." So what if they suspect, it's not like they can't just come out from inside the door.

Lin Qiushi: "Also." He struggled for a moment and whispered, "Then I... don't have to wear women's clothes, right?"

Ruan Nan Candle looked at him with a raised eyebrow, "What exactly do you have against women's clothing?"

Lin Qiushi: "Didn't I not learn pseudo-voice here, if I wear a woman's costume I have to pretend to be dumb again."

Ruan Nan Candle heard the words and directly said, "Isn't the little mute girl quite cute."

Lin Qiushi: ".......Is there something wrong with your aesthetics.

But in the end, Ruan Nan Candle didn't force Lin Qiushi anymore and agreed to the matter of him not wearing women's clothing. The door they entered was a month later, and according to Ruan Nam Candle's assumption, the door they entered was most likely Cui Xueyi's. Because from the way Wu Qi's girlfriend behaved, she definitely couldn't be a veteran and wouldn't have passed through the very back door. And the early doors were all closer together, a month later just matched the opening time of the third door, and there also indicated that the time of entry was not very specific, which was exactly in line with Ruan Nam Candle's guess.

Before going to reconcile with those people, Lin Qiushi also deliberately changed his appearance, this time it was Ruan Nanzhu's hand, using some professional special effects makeup tools. This time, it was Ruan Nan Candle who used some professional special effects make-up tools and changed Lin Qiushi completely.

Lin Qiushi looked at himself in the mirror and said dazedly, "Nan Candle you're too good."

Ruan Nan Candle's tone was not salty: "If you want to live, you should always try a little harder."

That afternoon, the two went to their appointment.

Just as Ruan Nan Candle guessed, he did indeed meet Cui Xueyi in the group.

Cui Xueyi was flabbergasted when he saw him, then he looked at Ruan Nan Candle and said, "Xiao Xiaoyu, what's the matter with you, why did you bring someone over?" -- The fake name Ruan Nan Candle told them was Xiao Xiaoyu.

Ruan Nan Candle mumbled, "I'm, I'm scared by myself, he's my boyfriend..." he said this and carefully had a good look at Cui Xueyi as if he was a good bully, "If you guys don't agree, I'll just let him go back. "

Cui Xueyi was about to speak, but the woman next to him patted his shoulder and laughed, "Forget it, it's okay to come along, but it's very dangerous inside, if there's one more person, we can't guarantee his safety oh, have you thought about this?"

Lin Qiushi gripped Ruan Nan Candle's hand and answered with a firm tone, "You don't have to worry about me, I just want to protect Xiaoyu."

"Alright then." The woman said, "Since you guys have thought about it, we won't stop you." She smiled and held out her hand to Lin Qiushi, saying, "My name is Lin Xingping, nice to meet you." She had a generous attitude and a warm look, if Lin Qiushi didn't know what they had done, he would have believed it.

"Oh, oh, thank you." Ruan Nan Candle quickly thanked.

Before coming here, Lin Qiushi and Ruan Nam Candle had discussed this matter, about whether or not Cui Xueyi and the others would agree to Lin Qiushi entering the door together. According to Ruan Nan Candle's analysis, they would probably be very reluctant for others to know about this matter, because the door was a law and order society after all, and really killing someone was a very troublesome matter. So after seeing Lin Qiushi, the boyfriend who knew the situation, they would instead think of simply disposing of him right inside the door.

But even if they didn't agree in the end, it didn't matter, Ruan Nan Candle alone would probably be able to clean them up.

There were three people on Cui Xue Yi's side, two men and one woman, and the remaining man was called Ku Yuan Si, who should be the employer this time.

Gou Yuan Si seemed agitated all the time while they were talking, and even his eyes were wandering, not daring to look at Ruan Nan Candle and Lin Qiushi.

Lin Qiushi looked at it as if he hadn't noticed anything.

For the rest of the time, they all stayed together.

Lin Xingping began to intentionally or unintentionally pry into Lin Qiushi and Ruan Nan Candle's news, and although the questions asked were rather tactful, it was still easy to detect.

The questions Lin Qiushi could answer turned into answers, and the ones he couldn't answer casually muddled through.

Ruan Nan Candle, on the other hand, had been sitting beside him, looking at Lin Qiushi with admiring eyes, looking like I love you so much.

When Cui Xueyi saw how the two of them were getting along with each other, his eyes showed a hint of disgust, apparently finding them sticky and uncomfortable.

Oh, I forgot to say, the changed look Lin Qiushi did look quite unsightly, in Cheng Qianli's words, he couldn't even eat looking at him, and even Cheng Qianli couldn't eat, that was quite ugly.

A few people, each with their own thoughts, quietly waited for the door to arrive.

Around 10 pm, Lin Qiushi suddenly had a feeling that the expressions of the others had changed slightly, and Lin Xingping stood up and said, "Here it is."

She walked to the door and pulled it open, only to see that the original corridor outside the hotel had turned into twelve pitch-black iron doors.

Two of them were sealed up by seals, and what they were about to enter this time, was the third door.

"Let's go." Lin Xingping saw them behind him.

Ruan Nan Candle and Lin Qiushi stood up, Ruan Nan Candle looked at Lin Qiushi and said pitifully, "Darling, I'm so scared."

Lin Qiushi played along with him, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I'm here."

"Let's go." Cui Xueyi said, "With us here, you'll be fine." He looked over at Ku Yuan Si as he said this.

Kuwara Si managed a smile.

As an employer, Gou Yuan Si was the first to enter the door, and after seeing the iron door, his entire body shook, and although he forcefully tried to hide it, it was somewhat obvious.

Lin Qiushi and Ruan Nanzhu only took it as unseen.

Lin Xingping walked at the front and pulled open the iron door with an outstretched hand.

When Lin Qiushi walked into the door, he felt the image distort and then felt the scene around him change.

He was standing on a stone paved path, surrounded by some low buildings full of Harmony Road. It was raining heavily, and the rain washed over the eaves and the ground, but it was fortunate that Lin Qiushi was standing under the eaves, otherwise he would have been drenched all over his body.

The surrounding houses were closed, so Lin Qiushi continued forward and soon saw an open door.

He walked inside the gate and saw that there were already a few people standing in the hallway waiting.

Since he had previously remembered what the others were wearing, he soon found Ruan Nam Candle's figure in the corner.

Inside the door, Ruan Nam Candle's body looked slightly thin and weak. Because he actually hadn't healed from the injuries he had received inside the ninth door last time, this unhealed injury was very obvious inside the door - Ruan Nam Candle looked very thin.

He was wearing a light-colored dress and sitting in a corner, like a dandelion that would be blown away by the wind at any moment.

Lin Qiushi stepped in front of him and said, "My name is Yu Linlin."

"My name is Zhu Meng." Ruan Nan Candle said, "Hello."

"How do you do." Lin Qiushi was beside him and said, "How many times are you coming in?"

"I'm the second time." As Ruan Nan Candle was talking to him, two people walked in just outside the door, judging from their clothes, it was Lin Xingping and Cui Xueyi outside the door. The two of them also saw Lin Qiushi and Ruan Nam Candle after they entered the door, so they pretended to be carelessly walking towards this side.

Of course, they didn't dare to show any obvious signs and stopped when they got a little far away from them.

When Lin Qiushi saw this, he began to observe his surroundings.

It was a courtyard full of Japanese style, next to a tall fence, with a huge cherry blossom tree planted in the courtyard. The cherry blossoms should have been in full bloom, but because of the pouring rain, all the cherry blossoms were knocked down and scattered messily in the black dirt.

The wind blew the wind chimes hanging in the hallway tinkling, but the chimes were again covered by the sound of rain.

This door was the second one Lin Qiushi had passed without a clue, in fact it was the first in the true sense of the word, as the clue-ridden Nguyen Nam Candle was still with him.

"Afraid?" Ruan Nan Candle suddenly leaned in to whisper in Lin Qiushi's ear.

Lin Qiushi looked at him and shook his head.

"I knew you weren't afraid." Ruan Nan Candle sighed lowly, "To be honest, I kinda miss your tender face when you were the first door."

At that time, Lin Qiushi would at least show a frightened expression, where it was as tumultuous as now.

They were biting their ears, but there was a frightened scream from the doorway, and a man staggered in through the doorway, yelling, "Where is this place? Where is this place, who are you all!!!"

To be honest, Lin Qiushi hadn't seen the newcomer inside the door for a while.

The man was crying, and Lin Xingping suddenly stepped forward and said, "Friend, don't get too emotional, this is the world inside the door."

"The world inside the door? What does the world within the door mean?" The man looked confused.

"People who are about to die will enter the door." Lin Xingping smiled and said, "This is the new life that the door gives us."

The man looked bewildered and asked more questions about the door.

Lin Xingping, on the other hand, was all very patient and answered each and every question.

Looking at the conversation between the two, Lin Qiushi was somehow reminded of the first time he had entered the door.

At that time, there seemed to be such a person called Xiong Lacquer who helped him answer questions, with a very nice attitude, and was even willing to share important clues with him, but Ruan Nan Candle's attitude towards that person had always been strange, and now that he thought about it, the picture in front of him was indeed somewhat familiar.

But whether Xiong Lac was a good person or not, Ruan Nam Candle had never told him.

People entering for the first time were naturally full of fear, and it was easy to gain the newcomer's trust by offering some kindness at this time.

Others would feel that the trust of the newcomers wasn't important, after all, everyone wouldn't know each other when they arrived outside the door, but Lin Xingping and the others were different, all they needed was such a panicked first-timer who didn't know anything.

As the rain continued to fall, the people in the courtyard were arriving one after another.

An old man in a kimono appeared outside the courtyard, carrying an umbrella, and walked to the center of the courtyard.

The discussion of the crowd quieted down and looked at the old man.

The old man spoke, "Welcome to the tour." His voice was soft and filled with a weakness, but it was surprisingly not covered up by the pouring rain.

"This courtyard is where you all live, and there are other scenery in the town that you can visit." The old man spoke slowly, "But it rains a lot here, so when you go out... you must bring an umbrella. Before you go into the house, remember to clean your body, otherwise, it's a way to get sick."

Lin Qiushi firmly remembered every word the old man said.

In fact, the first NPC they encountered every time they entered the house usually gave them the most important clues. After the old man said these words, he began to arrange the rooms.

There were a total of fourteen people who entered the door this time, two of them were newcomers, one was calmer and the one with a near emotional breakdown, the one with the emotional breakdown was the one who had been solicited by Lin Xingping, his name was Wang Rong Hua.

He was on the verge of tears when he entered, but with Lin Xingping's reassurance, he managed to stabilize his mood, and of course, at the same time, he developed a strong trust in Lin Xingping.

"That's trust?" Ruan Nan Candle was very disdainful of that person.

Lin Qiushi said, "It's understandable, after all, everyone has a nestling plot."

Ruan Nan Candle had a look at Lin Qiushi at the news, "Then why don't you have one?"

Lin Qiushi: ".......wait, why is this about him?

Ruan Nan Candle: "Is it that I'm not good-looking enough?"

Lin Qiushi could only explain with a hard scalp, "Actually, I do..."

Ruan Nan Candle was suspicious: "Really?"

Lin Qiushi: "Really really." He quickly changed the subject, "We're going to share the room."

The room here was for two people, Lin Qiushi and Ruan Nanzhu naturally shared a room together, while Lin Xingping shared a room with Ku Yuan Si, and Cui Xueyi was with the newcomer that Lin Xingping had taken a fancy to.

The others also formed their own groups, planning to return to their rooms as soon as possible.

It was still early in the morning when they came here, but after such a short delay, it was already completely dark. Plus, it was raining outside, so it was soon dark and somewhat out of reach.

Lin Qiushi went into the house and turned on the lights.

The light in the house was very dim and only barely served to illuminate the room.

The bed that he slept on was a very ordinary tatami, and after Lin Qiushi washed his hands, he lay down on it, the rain outside was loud and noisy, giving him a headache.

Ruan Nan Candle lay next to Lin Qiushi, he entered the door as if his body became smaller, a small mass shrunk on the tatami, looking inexplicably pitiful.

This appearance of him and the cold and self-possessed Ruan Nancandle outside the door were simply two different things, Lin Qiushi looked at him sideways for a while.

Ruan Nan Candle noticed Lin Qiushi's gaze and said, "Do you like looking at me that much?"

Lin Qiushi suddenly remembered what Gu Longming had said to him in the last door, and he blinked, "Did you used to have poor sleep quality?"

Ruan Nam Candle: "Yeah." He admitted this matter quite frankly, "I could barely sleep inside the door."

Lin Qiushi: "...I thought I was the only one who couldn't sleep."

Ruan Nan Candle: "Isn't the quality of sleep pretty good when you usually sleep with me?"

Lin Qiushi fell silent.

Ruan Nan Candle stood up, pushed his tatami next to Lin Qiushi and said, "So sleep together."

Lin Qiushi acquiesced.

It was raining outside, and Ruan Nan Candle leaned against Lin Qiushi's shoulder, her breathing gradually evened out.

Lin Qiushi hazily closed his eyes as well.

The sound of raindrops hitting the ground gave people a headache, Lin Qiushi's hearing was so sharp that he hadn't been able to sleep too well, but when he was confused, he heard the sound of children singing outside the house.

At first it was a small voice, buried by the sound of rain, but gradually, the sound of the song became louder and louder, and Lin Qiushi woke up directly.

He heard the words of the song clearly: "Bamboo stitch, bamboo stitch, the bird in the cage, wants to run out all the time, on the night before dawn, the crane and the tortoise slipped, who is facing you from behind?

The song was repeated over and over again, but the clear children's voices were particularly strange at this time.

Lin Qiushi was pondering whether or not to wake Ruan Nan Candle up when he heard Ruan Nan Candle's soft voice: "What's being sung outside?" He didn't have hearing as sharp as Lin Qiushi's and could only hear the distinctive sounds of shadows and shadows in the pouring rain, but he couldn't make it out.

"It's a nursery rhyme." Lin Qiushi said, "Do you want me to read it to you?"

"Don't." Ruan Nan Candle said, "I don't know what the nursery rhyme is for yet, so type it on your phone."

Lin Qiushi nodded and pulled out his phone and started typing. After he typed out the nursery rhyme, he handed it to Ruan Nam Candle.

Ruan Nan Candle saw the words on the screen.

After he finished reading it, he returned the phone to Lin Qiushi and said, "This is a Japanese nursery rhyme, it's quite famous."

Lin Qiushi said that he had never heard of it.

"This nursery rhyme is actually a game, when playing it, the children will form a circle." Ruan Nan Candle explained in a low voice, "Inside the circle crouches a child who is a ghost, and the child who is a brat will cover his eyes, and if he manages to point out the identity of the person behind him at the end of the nursery rhyme, then the person behind him will be the next ghost."

Lin Qiushi: "...So the kid outside is playing this game?" With all the rain outside, he didn't think there would be kids playing with this in the rain late at night, but obviously it was more likely to be the dirty stuff.

"Right." Ruan Nam Candle said, "We don't have a clue this time, so be careful with everything."

"They really don't have a clue?" Lin Qiushi was actually a bit skeptical about this.

"There might be, but why would you tell the dead the clues." Ruan Nan Candle said, "After all, they could try to get us killed."

Lin Qiushi understood.

The nursery rhyme probably lasted until most of the night before fading away.

The heavy rain continued into the next day, and the weather gradually cleared up around midnight.

Lin Qiushi had been noisy by the rain all night, and had just squinted in the early hours of the morning, but there was a knock at the door, and Ruan Nanzhu asked, "Who is it?"

"It's me." Lin Xingping's voice came out, "Aren't you guys going to get up?"

Ruan Nan Candle said, "Ah Sister Lin, I still want to sleep for a while longer, you guys should go eat first."

Lin Xingping seemed a bit unable to understand Ruan Nan Candle and said, "...you guys sleep well here?"

Ruan Nan Candle pinched her voice and pampered: "Sleeping with my dear anywhere."

Lin Xingping: "......." she choked on being hard stuffed with a mouthful of dog food, and finally could only say then you guys come over earlier, and turned to leave.

Lin Qiushi listened to her tone of voice, eight or nine out of ten had already started to scold Ruan Nancandle in his heart for being a brainless fool.

Lin Qiushi looked at Ruan Nan Candle: "Really don't get up?"

Ruan Nan Candle said, "Didn't you not sleep well? You catch up on some sleep, I'll get up first."

Lin Qiushi said, "No, I'm not very sleepy either." He climbed up from the bed, "Let's go have breakfast first."

Ruan Nanzhu said, "Okay."

They changed their clothes, washed perfectly, and opened the door of the house to go up the hallway.

Lin Qiushi reached the door, but suddenly stopped and cast a puzzled look towards somewhere in the corridor.

"What's that? Was there yesterday evening?"

Ruan Nan Candle followed Lin Qiushi's gaze and saw a white sunny doll hanging at the end of the corridor, this sunny doll was very large, the size of a basketball, with a brief drawing of human features drawn on it with a black pen.

Nguyen Nam Candle: "No, not last night." He was very sure.

Lin Qiushi actually remembered that there wasn't any, but he was afraid that he remembered wrongly, so Ruan Nan Candle confirmed it, and now Ruan Nan Candle also said that there wasn't any, so it was true.

They walked down the corridor to the bottom of the clear sky doll, the clear sky doll wasn't hanging very high, Lin Qiushi was able to take it down with a stretch of his hand, he said, "Do you want to take it down?" He really didn't dare touch anything here.

"Let me do it." Ruan Nanzhu should have his own cards, so with an outstretched hand, he took down the Clear Sky Doll.

However, as soon as the Clear Sky Doll was in his hand, his expression changed and he turned his head to look at Lin Qiushi and whispered, "Inside... it seems like there's a human head wrapped around it."
