Kaleidoscope of Death

Some things, it's almost enough to think about it yourself, it's absolutely impossible to do it. Lin Qiushi felt that he couldn't get any advice from Gu Longming, so he turned off the computer and went back to bed, falling asleep at dawn. He was thinking about how he would spend the next day with Ruan Nanzhu, but when he woke up in the morning, Ruan Nanzhu had already left the villa.

"Where did Brother Ruan go?" It was still a little strange that Lin Qiushi hadn't seen him at breakfast.

"Something happened last night over at Bailu, and he left in the middle of the night." Cheng Yixie obviously knew what had happened opening his mouth to reply.

"Something happened at the White Deer?" At the mention of White Deer, Lin Qiushi thought of Li Dongyuan and said, "What happened?"

"Civil unrest." Cheng Yixie said, "It seems there's a few big shots involved, so things are a bit troublesome."

Lin Qiushi oh-said, knowing that it wouldn't help much, and continued to eat his own food.

After Li Dongyuan's death, Lin Qiushi didn't know Bai Lu any better, and even if he did, it was only from what others said.

It was around noon when Ruan Nanzhu returned from outside.

Lin Qiushi remembered her, when Li Dongyuan jumped to his death, this girl was kneeling beside him and wailing, the reason why she remembered was because she was the one who cried the most.

She followed Ruan Nanzhu into the door and introduced herself first: "Hello everyone, my name is Zhuang Ruyoung."

Ruan Nan Candle said to Lin Qiushi, "She's an acquaintance."

Lin Qiushi looked at her, thinking of his experience when he and Li Dongyuan crossed the door, and said, "She's... Xia Ruyue?" He remembered that Li Dongyuan was carrying a feeble and timid girl with him, but he just couldn't hook up with the indifferent looking person in front of him.

The change in Zhuang Ruyue was so great, so great that Lin Qiushi spoke with hesitation as he said this.

"Mm." Ruan Nanzhu looked a little tired between his eyes, "You guys prepare some food for her, I'm going to rest for a while."

"Go." Lu Yanxue said, "We'll just receive her."

Ruan Nan Candle went upstairs, leaving Zhuang Ruyue standing quietly in the living room, Lu Yanxue enthusiastically sat her down at the dining table and prepared a hot breakfast for her.

Zhuang Rujiao ate quietly, not saying a word.

"What happened to Bai Lu?" Chen Fei asked beside him.

"It's not a big deal." Zhuang Ruyue replied, "Just getting a few traitors killed." She was completely faded of that youth and feebleness, her demeanor cold and indifferent, "It's just that someone disobeyed me."

Chen Fei said, "Is this related to Li Dongyuan?"

Zhuang Ruyue smiled and did not respond.

When the others saw that she didn't want to mention it, they didn't pursue it any further, but if there was a need then, Ruan Nan Candle would tell them anyway.

Ruan Nan Candle slept until the afternoon, and it was almost evening before he came down from upstairs lazily dressed in a housedress.

Lin Qiushi saw him and asked him, "Are you hungry? Lu Yanxue left you lunch, so I'll heat it up for you."

"Mm." Ruan Nan Candle nodded.

Lin Qiushi then went to the kitchen to heat up the rice and when he came out, he saw Ruan Nanzhu chatting with Zhuang Rujiao. It was said that they were chatting, but there was no expression on either of their faces, more like a serious negotiation.

When Lin Qiushi listened carefully, he realized that Ruan Nan Candle was actually talking to Zhuang Rujiao about joining Obsidian, and Zhuang Rujiao seemed to have agreed to it.

"Good cooperation." Ruan Nan Candle extended his hand.

"It's a pleasure to work together." Zhuang Ruyoung shook Ruan Nan Candle's hand.

Lin Qiushi put the food in front of Ruan Nan Candle and saw Zhuang Ruyoung carrying her backpack upstairs, seemingly going to her room. He was slightly surprised: "Isn't she... someone from White Deer?"

Ruan Nan Candle stretched out his hand and pinched the corner of his eye: "Le Dong Yuan's death was not an accident."

Lin Qiushi was stunned.

Ruan Nan Candle: "He was killed by someone." He leaned against the sofa and quietly stated a startling fact, "Zhuang Ruyoung discovered the truth and, took revenge for Le Dong Yuan." He shifted his gaze to Lin Qiushi.

Lin Qiushi was a bit baffled by Ruan Nan Candle's look and was about to ask, but he heard Ruan Nan Candle say, "What would you do if the person who jumped off the building was me?"

Lin Qiushi managed a smile, "Don't joke around like that." What he didn't know was that his expression was so stiff and frightening, that smile couldn't even hide the panic he felt inside. Such an assumption Lin Qiushi hadn't made before, and as soon as he was reminded by Ruan Nan Candle, he felt panic come over him like a tidal wave, leaving his entire body in a state of suffocation.

Around Lin Qiushi's reaction was too strong, Ruan Nan Candle's brows knitted together and whispered, "I've thought about it."

Lin Qiushi: "Eh?!" He still wanted to ask more questions, but Ruan Nan Candle had stopped talking, he stood up, waved his hand at Lin Qiushi, and also walked away.

As Lin Qiushi looked at his back, he was actually confused for a moment as to what he meant and why he was almost a different person from yesterday's gentle Ruan Nan Candle.

Was it that the matter of Zhuang Ruyue and Le Dong Yuan had brought about some drastic change in Ruan Nan Candle?

Lin Qiushi couldn't see through Ruan Nan Candle's mind and couldn't guess the answer, he just felt inexplicably a little listless, like he had prepared a lot and came to find that the other party had backed out first.

Zhuang Ruyue officially joined Obsidian Stone and became one of them, and then she also went inside the door a few times with Lu Yanxue.

After a few weeks of repair, Lin Qiushi offered himself to come inside the door again as well.

"Do you need me to accompany you?" Ruan Nan Candle asked this when she heard Lin Qiushi's request.

"No need." Lin Qiushi said, "I want to practice on my own."

"Good." Ruan Nan Candle said, "I counted the time, that Gu Longming's fifth door is about to open, are you still in continued contact with him? He's the one if there is."

Lin Qiushi: "There's a connection."

Ruan Nan Candle nodded his head, signaling that things were decided.

Lin Qiushi looked at him, wanting to stop talking.

This time after Ruan Nam Candle's health gradually recovered, he became busy again, and just like the one Lin Qiushi saw when he first entered Obsidian, he was not seen in the villa all day.

"What's wrong, there's something else?" Nguyen Nan Candle asked.

"It's okay." Lin Qiushi said, "Good night."

He said and turned to leave, but he didn't know that Ruan Nan Candle was staring at his back for a long time in silence.

Gu Long Ming's fifth door, at the end of the next month, he was worried about whether he needed to find another helper, but he didn't expect Lin Qiushi to offer to come through the door with him.

"You're too kind, my dear Lin Lin." Gu Longming exclaimed, "As a helpless fifteen-year-old female high school student, you've literally given me a second life."

Lin Qiushi: "Please let the girls' high school student go."

Gu Longming said, "I'll see you then."

"I'll see you then." Lin Qiushi said.

This period of time, Obsidian inside was quite lively, on this side Zhuang Ruyue joined, on that side Zhuo Feiquan actually hooked up with Cheng Yixie and started running to Obsidian as well.

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

The two of them haven't argued yet, but they first pissed off Chen Fei, who likes quiet, and said directly to Zhuo Feiquan that the place charges by the hour.

Who knew that Zhuo Feiquan, the product, pulled out several stacks of RMB from his pocket on the spot, slapped it on the table and said, "Let's start with 20,000 yuan."

Chen Fei: ".......Please go away.

Sometimes Cheng Yicher gets bored with the noise, so he lets Cheng Qianli go and pretend to be him, and Zhuo Feiquan, the goods can't recognize him anyway. But he can't recognize him, Lin Qiushi and the others can recognize him, so they can only cast a sympathetic look at Cheng Qianli, Cheng Qianli holds his family's fat grunting corgi, but does not dare to disobey his brother's instructions, aggrieved all to crumple into a freshly baked bun.

Zhuo Feiquan was still bleeping, "Why don't you say anything, Cheng Yicher, there's nothing more to say, right?"

"I'm going out to do some shopping, want to come along?" Lin Qiushi couldn't withstand Cheng Qianli's pleading eyes and could only ask.

"Together together." Cheng Qianli quickly stood up.

"Hey, I'm talking to you, where are you going?" Zhuo Feiquan roared.

Cheng Qianli said to him, "Brother, next time we'll talk, next time we'll talk, busy today, busy today." After saying that, he left the toast and slipped away, not daring to delay at all.

Lin Qiushi drove Cheng Qianli to the nearest large supermarket, and as they strolled through the supermarket, Cheng Qianli asked, "Lin Lin, what's going on with you and Ruan recently?"

Lin Qiushi looked down at the shelf life of the yogurt on his hand, "What's going on?"

"Why aren't you all talking." Cheng Qianli asked.

"Speak, aren't you all talking." Lin Qiushi, "Why do you ask that."

Cheng Qianli, "No, it's just that I feel that the atmosphere between you guys is a bit strange since that Zhuang Ruyoung came." He scratched his head, "Is it because I'm thinking too much?"

Lin Qiushi said, "Is there...?"

Cheng Qianli saw Lin Qiushi's dazed face and said, "Maybe I'm overthinking it too? Hey, I like the strawberry flavor...get me an extra one..."

Lin Qiushi didn't say anything and put another bottle of strawberry flavor in the shopping cart.

When he went back from outside, Zhuo Feiquan people had disappeared, Cheng Qianli greatly relieved, saying that Cheng Yicher simply ate the wrong medicine, otherwise why would he get involved with such a talker as Zhuo Feiquan, people with more words than him is simply horrible.

But Lin Qiushi remembered something and had a look at him, "Is your seventh door about to open."

"Yes." Cheng Qianli said, "It's just next month, too."

"Are you ready?" Lin Qiushi asked.

"There's nothing to prepare." Cheng Qianli was a bit confused, "The clue is at my brother's place, he hasn't shown it to me yet, he said he'll show it to me when he goes in..."

Lin Qiushi: "You two are the only ones going in?"

"Right." Cheng Qianli said, "Just the two of us..."

Lin Qiushi nodded his head, indicating that he knew.

All in all, during this period of time, there were quite a lot of things happening in Obsidian Stone, a mess that caused a bit of a headache, Ruan Nanzhu was also particularly busy, running outside every day, often not seeing anyone for days.

Lin Qiushi didn't know what he was busy with, wanting to ask, but also feeling that the relationship between the two wasn't so good that they could say everything, and that kiss... Lin Qiushi touched his lips, unable to recall the soft touch, then as if he had reacted to what he was thinking, the tips of his ears moved, coming out a little unnatural red, and then some desolation....

Tan Zao Zao's film was also released, and although it performed average at the box office, it was well received in the industry and was aiming for some sort of international award at the end of this year.

It was just that Lin Qiushi remembered that the next door of Tan Zao Zao seemed to be at the end of the year as well.

In August, the weather was completely hot.

Lin Qiushi took the clue of the fifth door from Ruan Nanzhu and started to prepare for Gu Longming's fifth door at the end of August.

This time the clue is a "tooth for a tooth and an eye for an eye", this kind of clues without a beginning and no end is actually the kind of difficulty, but Ruan Nanzhu also has no other suitable note around, so the dwarf can only pick out the tallest one.

Lin Qiushi held the note feeling that he really had nothing to prepare, and I'm afraid that this kind of note would only be connected to the clue after going in.

"Are you sure you want to go alone?" Nguyen Nam Candle asked again when he gave Lin Qiushi a clue.

"I'll be on my own." Lin Qiushi said, "You always have to learn to be independent."

Ruan Nam Candle looked at Lin Qiushi for a while before saying, "That's right too."

"Have you... done anything recently?" Lin Qiushi deliberately opened his mouth, "I don't think you're in a good mood."

"It's fine." Ruan Nanzhu said, "It's fine."

He answered too quickly and simply, it was completely like a perfunctory answer, Lin Qiushi said, "What are you worrying about?"

Ruan Nan Candle said, "What do you think of Zhuang Ruyoung?"

Lin Qiushi was baffled by the question, "Zhuang Ruyoung... what happened to Zhuang Ruyoung?"

Ruan Nam Candle: "Do you like her the way she is now?"

Lin Qiushi: "There's nothing bad about it, though... the old ones were fine too." Zhuang Ruzhao had clearly grown up, no longer the girl who hid behind them for protection, but of course the price of this growth was painful, she had lost the one person her heart loved and could rely on the most. Drained by life, she had finally reformed and lived to be what the people she loved expected her to be.

"Give me some more time, let me think again." These were the last words spoken by Ruan Nan Candle.

Lin Qiushi was in a fog. He was already not very good at dealing with people's feelings, and was even more baffled by Ruan Nan Candle's complicated performance.

But since Ruan Nan Candle said so, let's give him some time, Lin Qiushi thought, who doesn't have a time when they can't figure things out.

After sending the bracelet to Gu Longming ahead of time and matching the secret code that was inside, Lin Qiushi began to wait for the door to enter.

The mockingbird outside the window screamed incessantly, the hot summer once again, Lin Qiushi sat on the sofa blowing the air conditioner and eating watermelon, next to Cheng Qianli was dozing off.

The time to enter the door is these two days, Lin Qiushi is ready at any time, with a bag on his back, and also changed into the promised clothes.

Around three o'clock, Lin Qiushi felt a subtle change, a feeling of change he was already very familiar with - it was the door coming.

The sleeping Cheng Qianli beside him had indeed disappeared, so Lin Qiushi went to the door and casually pushed open a door, seeing the scenery outside the door turn into a black corridor, and above the corridor, twelve iron gates were vividly visible.

Lin Qiushi stepped onto the corridor, walked up to the fifth one, and reached out to pull it open.

The image reversed, the scene in front of him changed, Lin Qiushi saw himself standing on a spacious road, he looked around, judging from the style of the surrounding buildings, this seemed to be a school.

The sky was beginning to darken, Lin Qiushi walked along the road and soon saw a tall school building, underneath the building, there were already people gathered in groups, some were talking and others were observing the environment.

Lin Qiushi's gaze swept around the crowd, and soon found the person he was looking for inside - Gu Longming.

Gu Longming was wearing a white T-shirt with a tiger head printed on it, and a pair of black jeans with two large holes showing on the knees of the jeans, not knowing if he had bought these on purpose or had dug them out temporarily.

Lin Qiushi walked up behind him and reached out and patted him on the shoulder.

Gu Longming turned around and said, "Yo, how are you."

"Yu Lin Lin." Lin Qiushi extended his hand.

"Gu Longming."

They both acquiesced to the pseudonym the other used, after all, it was normal for them to have reservations about each other when taking jobs on the internet.

"This is a school?" Lin Qiushi asked, "Did you find anything new?"

"No." Gu Longming said, "Nothing, except that it's a university, the kind that covers a particularly large area."

"Oh." Lin Qiushi nodded.

This was Gu Longming's fifth door, the difficulty of the door wasn't too high, and it was only at the sixth door that the door would take a leap in quality. So Lin Qiushi was quite relaxed and didn't get too nervous.

There were also two newcomers to this door, this time the newcomers were a man and a woman, both of them were acting quite calm, at least they didn't appear to be bawling. Although from the looks of it, they should have been scared enough as well, but compared to most people, they were already performing well.

"I almost cried when I first walked in the door." Gu Long Ming casually spoke of these things, "and thought I was being arrested for some sort of Battle Royale..."

"Is this better than Battle Royale?" Lin Qiushi said, "At least Battle Royale is facing people."

"Who said that?" Gu Longming said, "Killing a person but there's a psychological shadow, killing a ghost is gone, and they're all dead anyway."

Lin Qiushi thought about it, it seemed like that was the reason. At least inside the door it was forbidden to directly strike your teammates, otherwise Lin Qiushi really suspected that there would be a scenario where someone would pull out a knife and fuck everyone over right at the time of assembly. Of course, if you were smart enough to avoid the rules of the door, you could also kill someone, provided you were lucky enough to get killed and the person who got killed was stupid enough.

The two of them were talking, but a teacher-looking man walked in outside, the man wore glasses and whispered, "You're so late, it's getting dark."

The crowd didn't say anything, they all quietly looked at this NPC.

The man said, "Let's go, first we'll take you to where you're staying."

As he walked, he gave a brief introduction about the school. In this world, Lin Qiushi and the others played the role of private detectives.

This school had recently encountered an incident where students were suddenly committing suicide continuously. There were many ways to commit suicide, and most of them were very bloody.

Rumors began to spread among the students that these suicides were due to messing with the wrong kind of dirt, and these rumors also put the entire school in an atmosphere of turmoil.

In desperation, the school goes in search of private detectives and asks them for a time limit of half a month to find out the truth about the students' suicides and solve the matter.

It seemed that the time limit was half a month, which was a very good amount of time.

The teacher led them to the front of the dormitory building, assigned them the keys and then turned around and left.

Lin Qiushi naturally chose the same room as Gu Longming, there were people who wanted to share a room with them, but Gu Longming the goods twisted and hugged Lin Qiushi's arm and said, "Oh no, don't, people want a world for two."

Just like that, he hardened and disgusted the man away.

Lin Qiushi expressed his admiration for him and thought to himself, "It's a good thing this product isn't wearing a little skirt like last time, otherwise it would be even more destructive.

The dormitory was divided into two floors, a total of fourteen people most of them were two people in one room, but there were also three people in one room. Five rooms above and five rooms below, Lin Qiushi chose the room on the second floor, and after opening the door with the key, he felt that the environment inside was pretty good.

Gu Longming went straight to the bed to lie down and said, "What's the clue to this door?"

Lin Qiushi: "A tooth for a tooth and an eye for an eye."

Gu Longming: "Just this one sentence?"

"Hmm." Lin Qiushi said, "Guess it's something to do with revenge."

Gu Longming: "That's a bit too simple..."

"There must be another meaning, but we don't know now, we'll talk about it tomorrow after we investigate." Lin Qiushi put down his backpack and changed into his pajamas after a simple wash, ready for bed.

Gu Longming said, "By the way... what's the situation with that girl of yours?"

Lin Qiushi: "Which one?"

Gu Longming: "Fuck, you have a few more girls, of course the one you told me about the other day."

Lin Qiushi looked at the ceiling and thought, "His attitude is a bit strange, I can't figure out what he's thinking..."

Gu Longming: "Strange?"

"I can't tell you, it's like I'm worried about something," Lin Qiushi said, "I asked, but he didn't want to say anything."

Gu Longming, "Well... girl, it's always good to have more coaxing, after all, we're all dying, so it's normal to have concerns." He mumbled, "If it were me, I wouldn't dare to fall in love with anyone else."

If he were to die suddenly, how sad would the person he loved be.
