Kaleidoscope of Death

Along with Gu Longming's broken voice, Lin Qiushi slowly sank into sleep.

Ruan Nanzhu's mind was always difficult to guess, but Gu Longming's words gave Lin Qiushi a little reminder. Ruan Nanzhu's change of heart came after he went to White Deer and brought Zhuang Rujiao back to the city. Lin Qiushi thought, we must ask him if there was anything we should talk about when we get back.

Nothing happened during the night, and the next morning, everyone woke up. Some of them were full of energy, while some had dark circles under their eyes, especially the two newcomers who were obviously not used to the world inside the door.

"I told you you can't get out, so why don't you believe me?" His roommate was an old man who passed through the fifth door, whose name seemed to be Wang Yao, and seeing that Xiao Maen had to waste time on such things, was very disapproving.

Xiao Maen managed to smile, "I thought this was a prank by someone..."

"What did you see as a result?" Wang Yao sneered.

"It's all fog." Xiaomeng said, "I thought the fog was from the morning mist at first, but when I went out, I found no one on the street..." It's obviously not normal for there to be no one on the street after eight o'clock. It seemed to appear out of nowhere, numbing one's scalp. And then it became clear to Maine that this place he was entering, was indeed different from the real world, that this wasn't some TV show or a hoax, but a truly alien dimension.

"Good thing you're back." Wang Yao said, "or we might have seen each other for the last time this morning." Although he was smiling when he said this, Little Maen's face became even paler because of this, he stopped saying anything and lowered his head to eat the food in front of him.

Lin Qiushi listened to the conversation between the two and turned to look at Gu Longming, "Let's go to the class in question first later?"

"Good." Gu Longming nodded.

Last night Lin Qiushi and Gu Longming had exchanged clues about this door, "An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth" was a biblical phrase that said that if you damaged something, you would have to pay the same price for it, there was no horrible back story.

Therefore, Lin Qiushi doesn't understand how to use this phrase inside the door at the moment.

Gu Longming was also clueless about it, so the two of them thought of going to the place where the accident happened first to learn more about it before making plans.

The NPC who took them to the dormitory yesterday provided the most basic information for everyone, the first one to be in trouble was the third class of the Sculpture Department, and within a week, three people died in this class, all in a miserable state.

The death of these three people is just the beginning, after the horror began to spread, involving the class, half a year, the entire school eight people died, this thing is also a big time, the police have not been able to find a breakthrough in the death, helplessly, the university had to find a private detective, want to solve this matter as soon as possible.

The university's time was rather chaotic, but yesterday, that NPC gave them a schedule for the third class.

Lin Qiushi looked at it and saw that they had two woodcarving sessions this morning.

Lin Qiushi and Gu Longming found the classroom and saw that there were already about a dozen students sitting scattered inside the classroom.

Along with them, there were other people from the team. These people walked in front of Lin Qiushi and the others, and after arriving at the classroom, they looked for a random student and wanted to ask for some information.

"Excuse me, may I bother you for a few minutes?" The first person to ask was a girl from the team, sweet and cute looking, of the very inviting type, with a rather cute name, Zossy.

"Can I help you?" The one being asked was a male student.

Zosi smiled, "Here's the thing, we were hired by the school to investigate that incident..."

Upon hearing that incident, the boy student's face immediately changed, waving his hand to show that he didn't know anything, turning around and ignoring any further questions.

Zuo Silk's attitude was good at first, but after seeing that the boy student refused to pay attention to her, she could only deliberately say, "Are you really not going to tell us some information? It's not over yet, you know that, right? Aren't you afraid of the day when bad luck will befall you?"

The boy remained silent, but his expression was slightly hesitant.

Zosi saw his attitude ease, and quickly struck while the iron was hot, "We are all professionals, surely it will help you, wouldn't it be good for you to end this sooner?"

"What do you guys want to ask, I'm about to start class." The boys finally relented.

"You're three dead in class, right? Who was the first to die? How did you die?" Zuo Silk asked.

The male student pursed his lips, his voice a little small: "The first one to die was named Liu Xiaoyu, I don't know how... I only know that she died in the classroom where the stone sculpture was placed."

Zuo Silk said, "You really don't know how she died?"

"I don't know." The boy's tone was firm, but Lin Qiushi somehow felt like he was lying, because the hand on his leg had been gently picking at his pants as he spoke, looking particularly nervous.

"Let's go." Lin Qiushi turned to look at Gu Longming.

"That's it? No more questions?" Kulon said.

"Hmm." Lin Qiushi said, "They're too scared and don't seem to be able to ask anything, so it's better to check the school's previous information."

Gu Longming looked at the trembling boy student who was asked by Zuosi and thought, "Okay."

The two of them then left the classroom and went to the nearby library, wanting to look up what had happened at this school in the last few months.

After arriving at the library, Lin Qiushi explained his intentions to the librarian, and when the librarian had a look at them, he reached out and handed them a file, saying that it was left over from the police investigation, and that it might be helpful, but that they should return it promptly after reading it.

Lin Qiushi took the information and thanked them gratefully.

He and Gu Longming then sought a corner and began to look through the information.

There was all the information about the eight deceased in this book, among the eight deceased, three boys and five girls, they were all junior sculpture students, the only difference was that their classes were different.

Of the eight deceased, the first one was found inside the sculpture classroom, her head was twisted off and inserted into a human sculpture, the picture was very brutal, Lin Qiushi also saw photos of the murder scene in the file. Although it was a mosaic, one could vaguely imagine the horrific situation.

The second victim was also found inside the sculpture classroom, a boy, and his death was similar to the first girl, the only difference was that his eyes were gouged out, leaving only two empty blood holes.

The third victim's place of death was still the sculpture classroom, and was slightly different from the previous two in that he was scared to death alive.

If the first three dead still have a regular way of death, then the next five is simply like a random killing, the next five dead location almost all over the school, there are toilets, classrooms, and even a library.

And the way they died was also strange, Lin Qiushi even saw one that was poked in through the eye by a compass.

"Fuck, it hurts to look at it." Gu Longming slurred with his head down, "It's like the realization of all the fantasies about death during school."

Most students had wondered what it would be like if they accidentally poked a compass into their eyes, but they didn't expect to see it here.

Lin Qiushi carefully looked through the data, and at the end of the data found some of the relationships between these deceased people before they died, and also found a group photo.

There were a total of four people on the group photo, three of them were already dead, leaving a boy whose appearance inside the group photo was covered by a black stain.

"He's not dead?" Lin Qiushi was slightly surprised.

"Hey, this guy's not dead?" After seeing the group photo, Gu Longming flipped to the front again and found that there were indeed only three people dead in the group photo, with one survivor left.

Obviously this person is the breakthrough, these four people must be very close, but at this time three people are dead, how in the world did the remaining person survive?

Lin Qiushi thought about it, taking the group photo out of the file and putting it in his pocket, he said, "These people actually have one more thing in common."

"Huh?" Gu Longming looked up in confusion.

"They all joined the same club." Lin Qiushi pointed to an inconspicuous corner inside the file, where it was written about each deceased's hobbies and the school club they joined.

In the end, they were art students, and most of the deceased had a wide range of hobbies, but each of the eight of them had joined a club called the Sculpture Lovers Association. This club wasn't anything special to the sculpture students, and Lin Qiushi was just casually pointing it out in case they missed it.

"Yeah oh, but they're from the Sculpture Department, it should be pretty normal for them to join this club, I do think that this student should be a big problem." Gu Longming was still struggling with the group photo, "He's not dead, so the breakthrough must be on him, right?"

"Well, you can check it out first, he's also in the third class." Lin Qiushi looked at his watch, "They should be about to finish class, let's go wait for him outside the classroom."

"Good." Gu Longming nodded.

The two of them returned the materials to the librarian and headed out from the library.

This library was pretty new, there were six floors, and it seemed like there were four or five elevators, Lin Qiushi and Gu Longming took the elevator to the first floor and were about to head out, but they noticed something - the hall on the first floor was filled with white statues, most of these statues looked like students, wearing student uniforms with long, flowing hair, some were carrying their backpacks and walking outside, some had their heads down and were reading a book.

I have to say, this daytime is fine, if you come here at night and see these statues, I'm afraid you'll really be shocked.

Gu Longming was a bit interested in these statues, and after observing them, he said, "These statues are so strange."

"What?" Lin Qiushi as.

"They all seem to look the same." Gu Longming stroked his chin, looking left and right, "All the statues seem to look similar..."

Lin Qiushi also looked at it and said, "It seems to be similar, but aren't the statues similar."

"That's not the same." Gu Longming said, "At least the ones placed upstairs are different from the first floor."

There were also statues on the other floors, but not as many as on the first floor, there were only one or two.

Lin Qiushi thought about it, grabbed a student at random and said, "Student, can I ask, why do you have so many statues on the first floor?"

The student was baffled by Gu Longming's grasp: "It's the school's rules."

Gu Longming was energized and asked after him, "Rules, what rules?"

The student said, "Any sculpture that has won an award outside of school can have a replica put in the school library...."

Lin Qiushi: "So the library will have a lot of sculptures in it?"

"How come there are so many." The student said, "It's just this year, in previous years hardly anyone has won an award, these sculptures change every year, they don't stay put for long."

"And do you have a list of this year's winners?" Lin Qiushi asked.

"No." The student was baffled, "Isn't it easy for you to find the list of winners?" He gestured to the brochures that were placed outside the entrance to the library, "That's the school's brochure, the people who won the awards are on it. Can I go now, I still have to read the book."

Only then did Lin Qiushi let go of his hand, and after thanking him, he turned around and went to the entrance of the library to get the propaganda album.

Flipping to the penultimate pages, there was indeed a list of what the students said were the winners on it, and Gu Longming cursed the fuck out when he saw the list and said, "This is the fucking list of winners, huh? It's a fucking shot list today, right..."

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that it was today's shot list, because almost all of this year's award winners were dead, and each died in a miserable state.

"But then again, it's definitely not just this one school that won the award, so how come it's just about their school that died?" Kulong chirped.

"I don't know." Lin Qiushi said, "Let's go back to the classroom." He said, "I want to find the student on top of the group photo."

"Okay." Gu Longming nodded.

So they planned to go back to the classroom again.

But they didn't have much luck, they were halfway there when the next class rang in the early hours, and students poured out from inside the building like a tidal wave. The sculpture department only had two classes today, after which they were free to go, and they were now past the point where all the students might have left, and there was no way they could find anyone they wanted.

But even so, Lin Qiushi and Gu Longming returned to the vicinity of the classroom.

The classroom was on the sixth floor, as soon as Lin Qiushi exited the elevator, he felt that there was something wrong with this floor, in the meantime, he slightly said, "Be careful."

"What's wrong?" Kulong chirped a little weakly.

"Something doesn't seem right." Lin Qiushi said, "It's too quiet." This was a school building, even if it was the end of class, it shouldn't be this quiet, it was so quiet that it was as if a pin could be heard even if it fell on the ground.

Gu Longming nodded his head, his expression more careful.

The two of them slowly walked towards the classroom where the class was over, before they reached it, they heard the sound of arguing from inside: "I've told you not to do that, why don't you listen to me, don't you want to die?"

The other replied angrily, "You're so naive, you think if you back off now, it'll all be over? It won't, I tell you, it'll never end, it'll kill us all-"

"What about it?" The third man's tone drooped, "If we hadn't done this then, then..."

"So is it interesting that you're saying that now? It's happened-" the man who began to speak became even angrier, and he said, "Come here now!"

Then there was a rustling noise, and Lin Qiushi quietly walked to the window and looked towards it, and through the analysis of the curtains, he saw three students standing inside the room.

The three of them were around an object on the table and seemed to be talking about something.

Standing behind Lin Qiushi, Gu Longming suddenly cursed lowly and fucked up.

"What?" Lin Qiushi turned his head to look at him.

Gu Longming said in a mute voice, "Look under the table."

Lin Qiushi looked at the bottom of the table and found that underneath the table, there were actually four pairs of legs standing... But in the room, there were clearly only three people.

A layer of goosebumps floated on his arms, and when he saw one of the three people in the classroom, he took out a paper cutter and laid it across his arm.

Blood dripped down his arm onto something on the table, and as soon as he finished this action, Lin Qiushi clearly saw that there was another pair of legs under the table... the number of things in the room had increased...

"Should we go in." Gu Longming was a little worried, "I always feel like they're dying."

Lin Qiushi said, "Let's go in." He always felt that if they didn't interrupt the classroom, the three students would probably get cold.

"Good." Gu Longming walked to the door of the classroom, knocked on the door and said loudly, "Is anyone in there?"

There were panicked voices in the house for a moment before someone made a hesitant, "Someone, is there something wrong?"

"I'm coming in." Gu Longming pushed the door in.

The doors of the classrooms in the school building could not be locked from the inside, they could only be locked from the outside, but of course normally they would be left open like that for students to use as a study room, but of course, since the murder in this building there had been almost no one studying here, after all, it was seeping to think about it.

The three students showed caution towards Gu Longming who pushed his way through the door, moving very neatly to step forward and cover the back of the desk.

"What are you guys doing?" Gu Longming said.

"It's none of your business what we do, is it." The one standing on the left had a very unfriendly attitude, "Can I trouble you to get out? We're doing a woodcarving job."

"Can't." Gurung said, "The school room is open and I can go wherever I want." He said, "What are you doing? Collective self-harm?" His eyes went to the student's still bleeding arm.

"Nothing to do with you!" The three of them were all a bit agitated.

Lin Qiushi said, "What's on the table?" He spoke slowly, "We saw four people in the house outside, why are there only three when we came in?"

When they heard the four people say this, the three of them almost turned pale.

One of them said with a strong smile, "What are you talking nonsense, there were only three people here in the first place."

"It's four." Lin Qiushi calmly broke through their mental defenses, "And the one wearing red and black striped sneakers and light blue jeans?"

As soon as this description came out, the three students instantly fell silent, their faces were as white as white paper losing the last bit of blood, one with a poorer mentality directly cried out, he covered his arms and cried out, "I told you we would die, we really will die..." his body slowly shriveled up, so he squatted on the ground, revealing something on the table behind him.

Lin Qiushi saw what it was clearly, it was a small human-shaped wooden carving that had been placed on the table, the wooden carving had been soaked in blood, because of the distance and the angle, Lin Qiushi couldn't see the specific appearance of the wooden carving too clearly.

"Don't fucking cry!" The emotional one cursed and cursed, then reached out and picked up the wooden carving and roughly stuffed it into his pocket to leave the classroom.

Gu Longming stopped him right in front of him and said, "Just like that?" He slowly jerked up his sleeves, revealing the strong muscles on his arms, "Little brother, let's talk a little longer."

It had to be said that Gu Longming, a product that was already strong and looked like a delinquent teenager, threatened people like that.

Lin Qiushi, however, frowned.

Gu Longming thought that Lin Qiushi was upset and was about to explain, but he saw Lin Qiushi take a few steps next to the defensive student and said, "What's that on the corner of your coat?"

The student said, "What what what..." he looked down and saw that on the corner of his light blue shirt, there was a red pattern, then he trembled all over.

When Lin Qiushi first saw the pattern, he only thought it was a decoration on the student's clothes, but after looking at it carefully, he realized that it was no pattern at all, it was clearly a bloody handprint, and from the angle, it was something dragging from the bottom up... And looking at the student's reaction, he didn't seem to notice it at all.

"Oooooo..." the one crouched on the ground cried even worse.

Gu Longming said, "Can you stop crying, we're here to help, not to harm, what are you resisting us so much for?" He reached out and pressed his hand against the thin body of the student in front of him and spoke softly, "Come, tell your brother, he is a good man and will be able to help you." He grinned, showing his white teeth, as if to express that he was a gentle and kind person.

Who knew that the student looked at his smile, shook all over, turned around and ran away, Gu Longming didn't even have time to stop him, he saw the man rush out like a gust of wind.

"What's he running for?" Gu Longming looked at Lin Qiushi in aggravation, "I even laughed at him."

Lin Qiushi: "......." although it was shocking, he had to say that he wanted to run when he saw Gu Longming smiling like that.

The author has something to say: Ruan Nan Candle has too many worries la, he's past the age where he can do anything just to fall in love, in fact, if he really doesn't think about anything to get Lin Qiushi, it's a very selfish act instead. Of course, the road is going to twist and turn, the future is bright (fist shake)
