Kaleidoscope of Death

After getting the key, the only thing left to do was to find the door.

As it was a low level door, the conditions of death were more lenient, and the ghosts were not as rude as the high level door.

But Gu Longming was very silent, and seemed to be in a bad mood, not sure if it was because he found Zhou Hanshan was not as innocent as he thought.

"Alas, what would have happened if Zhou Hanshan hadn't found us..." said Gu Longming, "If he'd been killed by Zhu Ruyuan in the first place."

"There's always a way to finish." Lin Qiushi's hand was in his pocket, quietly turning the key, feeling it slide in his palm while bringing a cold touch, if Zhou Hanshan had died at the hands of Zhu Ruyuan in the first place, there had to be another way to end it all, not sure if it would be as easy as it was for them now.

The rest of their work was to find the door. Although the school was huge, there were only a few key places.

Before they left, Lin Qiushi gave Zuo Sisi a support, hinting that he had got the key and asked Zuo Sisi to look for the door in the next few days.

Zuo Shi was very surprised when she understood what Lin Qiushi meant, but she didn't point this out, just admiringly said, "Have you gone through a lot of advanced doors already?"

Lin Qiushi didn't respond, laughed and turned around.

Actually, come to think of it, he was indeed already considered a veteran, there were only a handful of people who could pass through the ninth door, but he was blessed by Ruan Nan Candle and jumped straight to the ninth in one breath.

The light from the tunnel washed away the darkness that clung to the body of the world inside the door.

Lin Qiushi and Gu Longming parted ways in the tunnel, and by the time they returned to consciousness, they had returned to the villa.

Cheng Qianli was still dozing next to him, the watermelon on the table was still cold, and Lin Qiushi slowly brought it over and began to resume eating it again.

When Cheng Qianli woke up, he rubbed his eyes in confusion and said vaguely, "You haven't gone yet?" He also knew that Lin Qiushi was going to enter the house with Gu Longming today, but he didn't expect to wake up and see Lin Qiushi sitting next to him.

"No, it's already back." Lin Qiushi replied.

"Hmm...?" Cheng Qianli was a bit confused, he said, "You came back from the door?"

"Yeah, what's up?" Lin Qiushi spat out a mouthful of watermelon seeds.

"Nothing." Cheng Qianli sniffed his nose, he tilted his head and said, "I just think your reaction is too flat."

Lin Qiushi blinked and laughed, "What do you mean the reaction was too bland."

"Usually people take a few days to come out of the door." Cheng Qianli said, "You come out and continue to hold the watermelon."

Lin Qiushi looked at the cold watermelon in his arms, "Because it's delicious."

Cheng Qianli: "........ "The point isn't that it's good to eat.

"When is your door coming in?" Lin Qiushi put the watermelon down, he felt that it was too cold and his stomach was a bit upset from eating too much of it.

"Soon." Cheng Qianli said vaguely, "My brother won't let me mention more..."

"Alright." Since it was Cheng Yicher who didn't let Cheng Qianli mention more, Lin Qiushi was wise enough not to ask, he stood up and said he wanted to go back to his room to take a shower and rest.

Cheng Qianli mmmed and watched his back go upstairs.

Lin Qiushi went back to his room to take a shower and then slept for the rest of the afternoon, dinner was eaten by the people in the villa.

Tonight, it was Lu Yanxue who was in charge of the food, and the food was all rather exquisite, but Lin Qiushi's attention wasn't on the food, he waited left and right, but he didn't see Ruan Nanzhu's shadow.

"Isn't Nan Candle home?" Lin Qiushi asked Chen Fei.

"Something went out." Chen Fei replied, "Probably won't be back until tonight."

"Oh." Lin Qiushi nodded.

In the evening, he sat on a chair on the balcony to cool off, and waited for Ruan Nam Candle by the way. But Ruan Nan Candle didn't come back, it was almost twelve o'clock and Lin Qiushi hadn't seen him.

He was a little sleepy, so he took a nap on the chair, and when he woke up from his nap, it was already early morning, and he still didn't see Ruan Nam Candle's shadow.

About not coming back today, Lin Qiushi sighed softly in his heart and went back to his room to sleep.

The atmosphere inside the villa was strange lately, it was probably related to Ruan Nan Candle's busy schedule, and Cheng Qianli was about to enter.

Cheng Yicher also can hardly see his shadow, it's good to see him for three days.

Recently Cheng Qianli has subsided quite a bit, and has started to curl up alone on the living room couch again to watch horror movies, often screaming like a screaming chicken that has been pinched in the stomach.

"Why are you watching it if you're so scared?" Lin Qiushi asked him.

"It's about to enter the house, I can't hold my brother back." Cheng Qianli said quite aggrieved, "They all say it's good to practice more."

Lin Qiushi sighed and stretched out his hand to rub Cheng Qianli's head. He wasn't even eighteen years old, he was still just a kid, but the world inside the door never took pity on you because of your age, and everyone was equal before the ghosts.

It's hot, and there's no interest in doing anything.

On the fourth day Lin Qiushi finally left the door, he saw Ruan Nan Candle - he was arguing with Cheng Yixie.

This wasn't the first time they had quarreled, but it was the first time Lin Qiushi had seen Ruan Nanzhu looking so angry.

Ruan Nan Candle said, "Cheng Yicher, you're joking with your own life."

Cheng Yicher stood across from Ruan Nan Candle, a thin layer of sweat on his forehead, his lips pursed into a tight straight line, like a clam that can't be pried open. Ruan Nan Candle seemed to be somewhat helpless with the stubborn clam in front of him, and he was able to use violence to smash the clam hard open again.

"Cheng Yicher-" Ruan Nan Candle called out his name word for word, "Why do you always refuse to listen to me."

Cheng Yicher, who looked exactly the same as Cheng Qianli but had a very different temperament, hung his eyes and only gave a soft hmmm in the face of Ruan Nan Candle's questioning, "I'm sorry, Brother Ruan."

"You're quenching your thirst." Ruan Nan Candle said the last sentence, but in the face of Cheng Yixie's stubbornness, he eventually got a little tired of it and waved his hand, "You can go."

Cheng Yicher wanted to stop talking.

But Ruan Nanzhu had stopped speaking, and he turned around and went into the house, leaving Cheng Yicher standing alone in the hot air. Then Lin Qiushi heard the sound of Ruan Nan Candle slamming the door heavily.

Cheng Yicher had also left.

Lin Qiushi already had a hidden suspicion in his mind about the quarrel between the two. But he didn't dare to say it, because once some things were revealed, there was no going back.

After their quarrel, Lin Qiushi sat in the house for a while longer before he got up from his chair and went to knock on Ruan Nanzhu's door.

"Nam Candle." The door opened, revealing Ruan Nam Candle's beautiful face behind it, and Lin Qiushi called out his name.

"Well, what's the matter?" Ruan Nan Candle asked.

"Nothing..." said Lin Qiushi, "Have you been away from the villa for the past few days?"

"I took a few jobs," Ruan Nan Candle replied, "It went to the employer's side."

Lin Qiushi wanted to say something else, but Ruan Nam Candle's distant attitude made him feel a little uncomfortable. People were always greedy, and after seeing something good, when everything went back to the original state, they were instead a little uncomfortable.

Lin Qiushi thought about it and was about to say something, but Ruan Nan Candle said, "I'm a little sleepy."

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

"Good night." The man in front of her closed the door, as if closing the connection between the two of them.

Lin Qiushi stood in the doorway for a long time, a little dazed on his face, leaving Ruan Nan Candle... what was going on.

In October, Cheng Qianli entered the door.

Lin Qiushi didn't know the exact date, but it was the past two days.

One day while everyone was eating lunch, Cheng Yicher and Cheng Qianli then suddenly disappeared, and everyone knew that they had entered the door.

The atmosphere at the table quieted down, and some tension surfaced on everyone's faces.

The ten minutes was so difficult at this point, Lu Yanxue was constantly looking at the table, her pinched chopsticks unconsciously poking at the rice in the bowl in front of her.

When the two finally came out, everyone was relieved, but they were not in a good state, they fainted as soon as they came out, everyone was ready, picked them up and sent them directly to the nearest hospital.

Lin Qiushi was in charge of Cheng Yixie, and he found that although Cheng Yixie was taller than Cheng Qianli, he was very light, and the way he frowned tightly with his eyes closed somehow highlighted the taste of a few young children.

Lin Qiushi looked a bit sad.

The doctor came quickly, and the diagnosis said that it was a high fever, and after the two antipyretic shots went down, the twin's condition finally stabilized. Although they didn't wake up, at least the situation wouldn't continue to deteriorate.

Everyone then left two people to take care of them, and everyone else went back to the villa.

Lin Qiushi and Chen Fei were the two people left behind, they sat in front of the hospital bed and looked at the unconscious Cheng Yixie and Cheng Qianli.

Lin Qiushi said, "Is Nan Candle still not back?"

Chen Fei hmmmed vaguely as he said, "He's been quite busy lately..."

Lin Qiushi heard the embarrassment in Chen Fei's tone, he was going to say something, but in the end, he didn't.

But Chen Fei sighed as he said, "Qiushi, actually, Ruan's state has always been like this until you came and then it improved."

Lin Qiushi looked at him, not understanding.

"He was just always so busy before you came." Chen Fei said, "It's just that recently, he suddenly returned to his previous..." he was helpless, "I don't know what's wrong with him."

Lin Qiushi oh-said, his gaze fell silent on Cheng Yixie and Cheng Qianli on the hospital bed.

Chen Fei could not stop talking.

"I know, thank you." Lin Qiushi nodded his head.

Cheng Yicher and Cheng Qianli woke up three days later, and the first thing Cheng Qianli did when he woke up was to call out for his brother with a cry.

"Brother, brother... where are you, where are you..." called out Cheng Qianli.

Lin Qiushi hurried forward to steady him: "Your brother is in the next ward, don't worry, he's fine."

Cheng Qianli saw Lin Qiushi and heard his words, he glared at him, "I want to see him!"

Lin Qiushi couldn't and could only help him go next door to see Cheng Yixie.

After making sure that Cheng Yicher was indeed fine, Cheng Qianli breathed a huge sigh of relief as he looked at the ceiling and mumbled, "I thought I couldn't see him."

Lin Qiushi touched his head, "How could your brother be willing to leave you behind."

Cheng Qianli barely smiled and stopped talking, Lin Qiushi didn't know how to comfort him.

After waking up, the twin recovered quickly and returned to the villa a few days later.

Lin Qiushi had wanted to find Ruan Nancandle for an open and honest talk, but who knew that Ruan Nancandle was so divine that he couldn't even see anyone. Even if he was caught by Lin Qiushi once or twice, his attitude was distant and he acted as if he was busy.

The company has been in the process of developing the new product for the past two years, and has been working on it for the past two years.

The two are having a disagreement, and an invitation arrives from Zaizao Tan's side.

It's going to be December in the blink of an eye, and Tan Zao Zao also knows that Lin Qiushi and Ruan Nan Candle are having a disagreement, so she invites the two of them to attend a large awards party.

"I've booked a room for you, and when you're done attending, you can drag him over, the two of you can drink a little wine and chat, what else can't be resolved well." Tan Zao Zao persuaded him to persuade him bitterly, "are all adults, can't the way to solve problems a little more mature? No good can come from such a cold war..."

Lin Qiushi: "He's the one who coldly fought me."

Tan Zao Zao: "You still don't know about that character of his? It was already awkward..."

Lin Qiushi sighed and skipped the subject, "How's your door resolved?"

"I found someone else to take me through the door," Tam Zao said, "not as reliable as Nguyen, but at least there's a guarantee."

Lin Qiushi: "Is it really okay?" He hesitated for a moment, "If you need it, I can help you..."

Tan Zao Zao looked at Lin Qiushi and knew that he was serious, but she laughed and said, "No need, I can't afford the price of two."

Lin Qiushi knew she was joking and he said, "Make sure you come out ah."

Tan Zao Zao nodded her head, but she looked a little dazed, as if she was very confused about her future, which was a common problem among all the initiates.

Lin Qiushi gave Ruan Nanzhu one of the invitations given to him by Tan Zaozao and invited him to join him.

Who knew that Ruan Nan Candle actually excused that he didn't have time, and for the first time Lin Qiushi got angry in front of Ruan Nan Candle, he said, "Ruan Nan Candle, what are you thinking about?"

Ruan Nan Candle didn't say anything, he had a candy in his mouth, didn't look Lin Qiushi in the eyes, and said indifferently, "I really don't have time, I have to come in on that one day after taking a job."

"Not even for one day?" Lin Qiushi asked.

Ruan Nanzhu said, "No."

Lin Qiushi said, "Okay." He turned around and left without any further attachment.

Ruan Nan Candle watched his back and slowly pulled out another candy from his pocket, peeled off the sugar paper and stuffed it into his mouth.

In the end, it was Lin Qiushi who went to Tan Zao Zao's award banquet alone.

However, Zaizao Tan, as the nominated guest, was sitting in the front, so the two didn't get to talk much.

When the host read out Tan Zui Zui's name in the best actress section, the whole audience applauded.

With a smile and tears in her eyes, Tan Zao Zao said, "Thank you all..."

The conversation stopped here, and Tan Zao Zao disappeared above the stage - a scene that was in the eyes of those with doors. In the eyes of most of the people without doors, Tan Zaizao froze on the stage, as if in a daze.

At first the host thought she was too nervous and was regulating the atmosphere, but Tan Zao Zao remained silent, her eyes dazedly looking forward.

Lin Qiushi was so nervous that he even clenched his hands into fists.

The scene was finally untenable, and Tan Zao Zao who was frozen on the stage was like an over-the-top joke. After about ten minutes of stalemate, the host had no choice but to call for security to help Tan Zao Zao off the stage.

However, Zao Zao Tan moved, her eyes regained their radiance, but there was only fear inside, her mouth made miserable cries, like a small animal that was caught in a life-threatening situation.

The beast's bite finally fell.

Lin Qiushi heard the sound of shattering glass, and the huge glass chandelier above Tan Zao Zao's head fell straight down, smashing into her thin body.

Blood blossomed like stamens, and the entire arena was filled with screams, cries, and roars.

Lin Qiushi sat still, he saw Tan Zao Zao's eyes, her black eyes were still open, and her pupils were filled with resignation and pain, and intense fear.

She was dead.

Tan Zao Zao was dead.

Died at the award ceremony that she was thinking of, Lin Qiushi felt as if icy air had been poured into his soul, and he couldn't say a word, as if even breathing had become difficult.

The ambulance came, but everyone knew that Tan Zao Zao was definitely dead - no one could survive being smashed like that.

Lin Qiushi slowly bent over and covered his face with his hands, he gasped rapidly, what came to his mind was Tan Zao Zao's last smile.

The phone suddenly rang, and Lin Qiushi didn't bother.

But the person on the other end of the phone didn't want to give up, the ringing was continuous and noisy, causing Lin Qiushi a headache. He slowly pulled out his phone and saw the number on it, it was from Ruan Nanzhu.

Lin Qiushi hung his eyes and answered the phone, hearing Ruan Nan Candle's voice coming out, "Where are you?"

Lin Qiushi didn't say anything.

"Akashi, where are you?" Ruan Nan Candle asked anxiously, "Were you there..."

Lin Qiushi remained quiet, he wanted to say something, but he felt he didn't have the strength.

"Qiushi, Qiushi, don't be afraid, I'll be right over." Ruan Nan Candle said, "Don't be afraid, I'm here, tell me, where are you?"

Lin Qiushi's lips moved and he said, "I'm on the spot."

"Good, wait for me where you are." Ruan Nam Candle said.

Lin Qiushi hung up the phone and leaned on the back of his chair, he thought that Zao Zao Tan might die, but never thought that her death would be so tragic, and all the fans witnessed the scene. Just like the character she played in the movie, she left this world in the most beautiful moment of her life.

Blossoms to the tangibles.

The scene was chaotic, and Lin Qiushi stood up from the crowd and walked out.

He felt calm, but this calmness carried a strange feeling, as if the feelings were blocked by something, he was just a bystander, and all the shocks were stopped by a thin curtain, separating him from those intense emotions.

Lin Qiushi walked out onto the road, Ruan Nanzhu said he was coming to find him and he didn't know where he should go, so he found a spot on the street teeth to sit down casually and took out his phone to play Sudoku.

A few minutes later, the sound of a car siren sounded in front of him, and then a shadow fell over him, Lin Qiushi looked up and saw Ruan Nam Candle.

It was hot, Ruan Nam Candle's face was sweaty, and looking at him still good looking, his black eyes rolled with strong emotions, he called him, "Qiushi."

Lin Qiushi put down the phone, he said, "Nam Candle."

Ruan Nan Candle stretched out his arms and took Lin Qiushi into his arms, his strength was great, like he wanted to give Lin Qiushi strength through the hug.

Lin Qiushi was good enough to be held by Ruan Nan Candle, he placed his chin on Ruan Nan Candle's shoulder and whispered, "Tan Zao Zao is dead."

Ruan Nan Candle hmmmed.

"Wu Qi is also dead." Lin Qiushi said, "I know what you're afraid of."

Ruan Nan Candle couldn't say anything, he dropped his eyes and gently kissed Lin Qiushi's forehead, he said, "I can stand it, I'm afraid you can't stand it."

He didn't want Lin Qiushi to witness his death, at least not as a lover of the matter.

Whether it was Wu Zi or Tan Zao Zao, death was their routine, but he couldn't bear to let Lin Qiushi turn into Zhuang Ruyue's form.

He couldn't let go of the warm Lin Qiushi that was in front of him.

Because of this, the courageous Ruan Nanzhu chose to retreat for the first time. It wasn't too late for him to pull out now, Lin Qiushi didn't like him that much.

But the unexpected death of Tan Zao Zao made Ruan Nan Candle's efforts come to naught.

His heart felt like it was being tugged at at the thought of Lin Qiushi being there, and he called Lin Qiushi in a panic and rushed here, just to give him a hug so he wouldn't feel too bad.

Lin Qiushi lifted his head and looked into Ruan Nan Candle's eyes.

Those black eyes were full of sorrow, like the deep lake of jungle tranquility.

After thinking for a moment, Lin Qiushi raised his head, leaned in and imprinted a soft kiss on Ruan Nan Candle's cold lips as he said, "I don't think about that much, I just think about now."

Ruan Nan Candle and Lin Qiushi looked at each other.

"Right now I want to be with you." Lin Qiushi said seriously and with a bit of caution, "Do you still want to avoid me?"

Ruan Nan Candle knew he couldn't escape anymore, and he didn't want to, so he said, "No more hiding." Then he lowered his head and deepened the kiss.
