Kaleidoscope of Death

Sharing clues generously within a door is not a good thing, at least not for the owner of the clue.

Once a clue is shared, it reveals your strength and attracts everyone's attention, the more advanced the door is.

The more advanced the door, the more difficult it is to get the clue, so after disclosing the clue, it's very likely to become a target and be guarded by everyone, or even counted.

And if it wasn't a special case, no one would want to share their hard-earned clues with others.

But the door in front of them was obviously special, because if they didn't tell the others the rules of the game, it would mean that the dead would become Box Men, making it more difficult for them to escape.

"Should we tell them?" Lin Qiushi said, "Would it make any difference if we told it directly like this?"

"Saying definitely naturally." Ruan Nanzhu heard that shout but was not eager, "But no need to rush, they're all humans, they may not believe us even if we tell them all."

As the three of them spoke, they returned to the entrance where they had been earlier and saw that someone had opened a box in the corner of the entrance. Inside the box was something like a stethoscope, and someone took it out and was studying it with their head down. It was one of the props that humans could use inside the box girl game, Lin Qiushi remembered that he didn't expect someone to be so lucky as to just open the prop.

"Who was just screaming?" As soon as Liang Miye looked at the stethoscope, she looked elsewhere.

"It's me..." a little girl whispered, "I was just getting ready to go to the kitchen with them, and I saw something else under the door, well, like a little girl in a dress, and I couldn't control it, so I called out. "

This little girl looked like a newcomer, trembling with fear as if she had no experience.

When the other old people heard what she said, their expressions were all very subtle, they could not wait to get as far away from those things as possible, only newbies would be foolish enough to get together and give away their heads.

Lin Qiushi took the opportunity to observe the surroundings and briefly calculated the ratio of the number of newcomers and old people.

Out of the twenty-three people, at least four of the group of seven were newcomers, and one could even see dazed and terrified colors on their faces.

Excluding this group of seven, there should also be some newcomers in the remaining sixteen, meaning that there was even more than one person in this door with newcomers. So the number of newcomers was between eleven and twelve, split 50-50 with the number of old people.

Actually, if you think about it, you can understand why someone would do such a thing to take someone else's life.

The death conditions are limited, try one out and you can circumvent one. And taking someone else's life and trying it out could be the easiest way to do it.

"Can you guys not just open the box." Inside the old hands, there were already people who couldn't bear to see these newcomers messing around, "Look at these boxes placed everywhere, that must have a special function, you guys will definitely be in trouble if you open them indiscriminately like this!"

"What could have happened!" The man who prescribed the stethoscope was a young man, but he had a lot of guts and a bad attitude, and a big grin that said, "I'm doing fine, aren't I?"

"It's fine now, but after that it's possible." The person who raised the question seemed to be named Sun Yuanzhou, who turned his head coldly and addressed the leader of this new group, "Can't you control the people you brought in properly?"

The one who brought several newcomers in this time was a middle-aged man named Wei Xiu De, he was plain looking and very amiable only from the outside, but to do the deed of bringing in so many newcomers, it was obvious that this person was no good either.

"Okay, okay." Wei Xiu De said rather nicely, "I'll take care of them, Little Artichoke, you should stop opening the box, it's not good if something happens, it's dangerous inside the door."

"What could go wrong." The young man called Artichoke was impatient, "You're just a coward, no risk, no gain..."

As he spoke, he actually raised his hand to open the next box.

"Wait." Lin Qiushi spoke up to stop him.

Naturally, Little Thistle wouldn't listen to Lin Qiushi's words, he opened two boxes directly in one breath, fortunately he was lucky, one box had a piece of paper in it and one was empty.

"What is this?" Artichoke picked up the piece of paper and read the words on it, "False response..." the card seemed to be just four words with no other information and he spat, "What the hell. " Then he placed the piece of paper casually on the table.

"Don't open it." When Ruan Nan Candle saw that he wasn't about to end it and planned to keep opening it, he finally opened it, "If I'm not wrong, this should be a board game I've played called Box Girl, you'll really open dirty things if you mess up the box like this."

As soon as that was said, Artichoke's movements finally stopped and he said, "What? Why didn't you say so earlier!"

Ruan Nan Candle spread his hands: "You move so fast, where am I going to be able to make it."

Because of Ruan Nan Candle's words, the eyes of everyone in the room were on him, these eyes had excitement, suspicion, and questioning.

"Are you saying we're playing a game now? Have you ever played that game?" Sun Yuanju grasped the point.

"Played it a few times." Ruan Nan Candle sat down on the sofa and leaned against it, "I just entered the house just now and wasn't very sure, so I went upstairs to look at the key props, and now I can confirm that this is the board game."

Everyone gathered around and began to wait for his next words.

Ruan Nan Candle briefly explained the rules, focusing on reiterating that there were ghosts inside the box, opening it casually would likely release the ghosts, and the humans who were taken away by the ghosts would become box people to continue to scourge the living humans.

For the rules, Ruan Nam Candle did not conceal anything, but described them all in detail, and also answered many people's questions. However, similar to what Ruan Nam Candle expected, although he showed sincerity, the veterans didn't believe all of what he said.

"According to what you mean, don't we open the box?" Someone in the crowd spoke up and raised a question about Ruan Nam Candle, "Don't you mean that if we don't open the box, nothing will happen? You said the safe combination was four digits, and even though there are ten thousand combinations, if we spend more time trying, we'll always try!"

Ruan Nan Candle spread his hands, "I'm just talking about the rules of the game I've played, it's not like that's the rule here, there's bound to be changes in there, but what kind of changes, I don't know."

"How many boxes are there in this house, let's count them." A young girl opened her mouth, she looked like she wasn't very old, but she was already very experienced, "My name is Yin Xin Yi, nice to work with you." She extended her hand towards Ruan Nam Candle.

Ruan Nam Candle shook her hand, "I'm Zhu Meng."

"The box girl cries once on her first day." Ruan Nam Candle said, "She cries where she is, and after that, she can only howl when she wants to gain skills..."

"Skills?" Yoon Shin Yi asked.

"Yes, he's already opened up a skill." Ruan Nan Candle pointed at Artichoke, "False response."

The crowd made noises, and many people began to ask what that meant.

"In the board game, it's a skill of the box girl." Nguyen Nam Candle said, "It means that the player playing as the Box Girl can lie."

Yin Xin Yi said, "Lie? Is she still available to answer our questions?"

Ruan Nan Candle: "Reality is answerable, as for what derivative effects this skill will have here, I don't know."

"Let's rest for today." Sun Yuanzhou had a strong personality and dominated the crowd, "It's after ten o'clock, it's easy to get into trouble at night, let's discuss this matter in detail tomorrow."

"Good." Most people agreed to Sun Yuanzhou's proposal.

Then everyone began to assign rooms.

The house had three floors, the first floor was some functional rooms, like the kitchen and such, the second and third floors were mostly bedrooms, with a study and toilet next to the bedroom, and a huge balcony, but the balcony had been cemented off.

There was no rule that only a few people could live inside the house, but most of them were two or three people in a room, and so were Lin Qiushi and the others.

After nightfall, the foreign house became dimly lit.

The steel plates nailed to the windows blocked out most of the sunlight, and the thick curtains were like a curtain that cut off the last light source as well. The light in the corridor was dark red, illuminating all the places like a dark room.

The room where Lin Qiushi and the others were resting was also filled with many boxes.

Just now, they had roughly counted that there were at least two hundred wooden boxes in the entire house, each one about half a meter tall, neatly placed in every corner of the house, making it hard for people to ignore their presence.

And yet it was in such a box that a little girl with a full body twisted all over her body could be hidden, and the thought of this made one not want to take a second look.

All three of them got into bed after washing up, Ruan Nan Candle slept on the bed by the wall, and when they turned their heads, they could see those tightly packed wooden boxes.

The three of them discussed something before they went to bed.

"What will happen if I never open the boxes." Leong Mi Ye said, "wouldn't it be the case that no one would die if everyone didn't open them?"

"It's not that good," Ruan Nam Candle said, "There will definitely be a restriction on us inside the gate." It's just not clear, yet, what that restriction will be.

The door wouldn't allow them to waste time inside unconditionally, unless...there was only one person left in this door.

"What is that restriction?" Liang Miye said, "But it's good that there are limits, or else they all expect people to try their lives."

Every time you open a box is a gamble, and no one knows what will come out of it.

Ruan Nan Candle hmmmed.

Lin Qiushi's attention was also focused on those wooden boxes, only he was thinking about the stethoscope that the man took away during the day, the stethoscope was also a prop, but it could only be used once a day, the stethoscope could determine whether the box girl was inside the wooden box or not, if the box girl was inside, she could hear a tiny sound from the stethoscope.

It was a crucial item, but now it was in someone else's hands.

Ah, this is really a game of luck, Lin Qiushi thought, as someone who had never even won five dollars in a lottery ticket, his luck really wasn't too good.

Besides, they couldn't afford to gamble their lives with luck.

After nightfall, Lin Qiushi couldn't sleep too well, and around three in the morning, a miserable scream sounded from downstairs, waking everyone up from their dreams.

Lin Qiushi instantly woke up and he opened his eyes to meet Ruan Nan Candle's gaze.

"Someone's in trouble?" Lin Qiushi asked.

"Hmm." Ruan Nam Candle said, "Let's go down and take a look."

Liang Mi Ye also woke up, she said, "It's the second floor, right? It's not like someone is too hard up for their life to open the box again, is it?" Nguyen Nam Candle had made it clear enough during the day, and if there were people who had to take their own lives to open the box in a situation like this, then Liang Mi Ye had nothing to say.

But what made the newcomers more troublesome was their uncertainty, and under the weight of fear, no one knew what kind of bad moves they would make.

The cries were incessant, and by the time they reached the second floor, they could still hear the sounds coming out through the doorway.

"Ahhh, it hurts, help, help-" the miserable cries were creepy, there were already several people standing at the door, Lin Qiushi swept his gaze and found that they were all veterans, Sun Yuanzhou was also among them, he pushed the door and said. "It's locked, I'll get the tools."

"No, I'll do it." Ruan Nan Candle slowly walked to the door and began to lower the lock.

All eyes were on him, and a moment later, the lock opened in response, and the house appeared before them.

There was no one left in the house, the wailing was coming from a wooden box, and not only was there wailing coming from the wooden box, but there was also a knocking sound belonging to a thud, as if the people inside were trying to rush out of the box.

"Help me, help me, I don't want to die..." the closer you got, the more creepy this sound became.

"Who is living in this house?" Ruan Nam Candle asked, looking to a wooden crate next to this one as he spoke, "They opened the crate."

"Fuck." Sun Yuanzhou seemed to be a little angry, turned around angrily and went straight to the next room, knock knock calling up the people inside, "Wei Xiu De, hurry up and get out, is that your people living in here!"

A moment later, the door opened and Wei Xiu De walked out from inside, he said, "What isn't my man?"

"That room!" Sun Yuanzhou pointed to the room in question.

Wei Xiu De looked at the room, his eyebrows furrowed slightly, "Yes, there are two living in there." He seemed to have thought of something, "Something happened to them?"

Sun Yuanzhou cursed a swear word.

Wei Xiu De saw that everyone's eyes were on him and there was some mischievousness in it, and laughed awkwardly, "Sorry, sorry, I'll definitely remind them properly, but they haven't been in a few times, and some of them don't know the rules..."

Sun Yuanzhou coldly said, "Control your people, or don't blame me for being rude to you."

He left after saying that, looking like he was already fed up with Wei Xiu De to the extreme.

And yes, it was already hard enough to be an ordinary tenth door, but the newcomer brought in by Wei Xiu De made it hard enough to be hell.

Everyone wasn't in a good mood at the moment, and the eyes they looked at Wei Xiu De were filled with disgust. This kind of behavior of Wei Xiu De had always been disreputable, but everyone inside the door was sweeping away the snow in front of their own doors, and they didn't have the heart to care about the others. But if Wei Xiu De did something that harmed everyone's interests, that was a different story.

The crate was still howling, and it gave people a headache to listen to it.

Lin Qiushi found some relics next to the box, and judging from the number of relics, there was clearly more than one person who had been dragged in by the box girl.

If someone died, it meant that the number of box people had increased, and the risk of opening the box had become greater again.

Lin Qiushi exhaled, feeling that things were getting more and more troublesome.

This second half of the night, everyone probably didn't sleep much, after all, the crate cried all night until the next morning when the sound faded and finally disappeared.

Lin Qiushi really couldn't understand, obviously Ruan Nan Candle had already told them not to open the box at random, why would anyone still want to break the taboo, were they feeling lucky enough?

A night without a good night's sleep, everyone's face is not very good, the old people experienced fine, the few people who were deceived into looking at the state is about to die, and there are girls sitting in the corner crying all the time.

The breakfast automatically appeared in the restaurant, the taste is not bad, although Lin Qiushi has no appetite, but still forced himself to eat a little.

Instead, Ruan Nan Candle had been walking around in the morning, seemingly thinking about something, and halfway through the meal, he said he wanted to go to the bathroom, and Lin Qiushi said, "I'll go with you."

"Okay." Ruan Nan Candle laughed, "I'm still a little scared."

The toilets inside the house were all cubicles, there was no distinction between men and women, Lin Qiushi stood outside and waited, but after waiting for a while, he heard a strange sound coming from the toilet.

Lin Qiushi listened carefully, and when he heard exactly what it was, his face changed slightly, this voice... was actually Ruan Nan Candle's.

Ruan Nan Candle seemed to be moaning softly, and the moaning was mixed with a weak cry for help.

Lin Qiushi hurried into the toilet, he called out, "Zhumeng, Zhumeng are you alright!" He tried to push the door of the cubicle open but found it locked, he quickly pulled out his tools and unlocked the cubicle with a couple of strokes.

As soon as the door opened, he saw the inside of the cubicle, there was no one inside, next to the toilet, there was a black wooden box, the box was unlocked and could be opened by reaching out.

And Ruan Nan Candle's voice was coming from inside the box.

Lin Qiushi's expression instantly changed, his head turned with many thoughts, he quickly walked to the box and shouted, "Zhu Meng! Wish me luck! Are you in there!" He thought Ruan Nam Candle was someone who wouldn't just open a box, but the world inside the door was full of surprises, and he feared it was Ruan Nam Candle who had encountered some sort of emergency and had been dragged into the box by the box girl.

"Zhu Meng!" Lin Qiushi slapped up the box and said, "Are you in there, say something-"

"Save me... save me..." the voice of Ruan Nan Candle grew weaker and weaker, as if it would disappear in the next moment, "save me ......."

But in a few minutes, a layer of cold sweat appeared on Lin Qiushi's forehead as he stared at the lid of the box, swallowed heavily, and said in a mute voice, "What's my name, tell me, what's my name outside the door-"

"Lin Lin, help me..." the Ruan Nan Candle gave Lin Qiushi an answer.

Hearing Ruan Nan Candle's answer, Lin Qiushi was fiercely relieved, he put his ear to the box and heard what was inside, still calling his name in Ruan Nan Candle's voice.

"Lin Lin, Lin Lin, help me... Lin Lin, I'm in pain... Lin Lin..."

After staring at the box for a while, Lin Qiushi turned around and left the cubicle, then started knocking on the door of the next cubicle one by one.

Soon, the door of one of the cubicles was knocked open by him, and Ruan Nan Candle, who was lifting her skirt inside the cubicle, showed a baffled expression to Lin Qiushi: "Lin Lin, what are you doing?"

Lin Qiushi looked at his face, didn't say anything, and directly walked over to him and hugged him heavily.

Ruan Nan Candle was stunned for a moment and also reached out and hugged Lin Qiushi back, "What happened?"

Lin Qiushi: "I understand the change what."

Ruan Nam Candle: "Huh?"

Lin Qiushi said, "The box girl's skill...false response." He looked to one of the cubicles, "The Box Girl can mimic a human voice and call for help in a box." Caring is messy, and when something happens to someone important to you, you're less likely to think about whether or not it makes sense, and once you do open the box, there's no chance of regret.

"What did you hear?" Ruan Nan Candle instantly understood something from Lin Qiushi's expression and language, "You heard me calling for help in the box?"

"Yes." Lin Qiushi Dao, "Good thing you don't usually like to call me Lin Lin outside."

Ruan Nam Candle Dao, "I didn't hear anything, it seems that's how those two people were tricked into going in last night."

"Hmm." Lin Qiushi said, "It seems like the two of them should have a good relationship outside the door."

Ruan Nam Candle said, "You just said that this box girl was crying in this house, right?"

Lin Qiushi nodded.

"Then we'll be able to determine her location." Ruan Nan Candle pondered, "She must have a movement condition restriction, or else we wouldn't have been able to open the box."

If there is no restriction, it means you've just picked a box and are about to open it, and the box girl moves to the front of it.

"Yes." Lin Qiushi said, "You can be sure that the box girl is in this room...but two people died last night." This meant that there were two more box people in the house, and we didn't know which box they were hiding in.

Nguyen Nam Candle said, "Let's have them confirm it with a stethoscope first."

Lin Qiu Shi: "The stethoscope is with the newcomer that Wei Xiu De brought."

Ruan Nan Candle nodded and said, "Well, I know, let's go and talk to them first, so as not to waste this prop." This stethoscope must have produced a change as well, as to what kind of change it was, it was unknown.

The author has something to say: the strongest big brother will not bump into each other, because they usually have their own clue into the door that belongs to them, the rest of the distribution are no clue, so the strength will be relatively weak.emm I personally think that the clue out right out of the gate is the collapse of the person right, after all, fundamentally they are competitors, the next door clue is only one and very important! , Nguyen Nam Candle certainly couldn't have gone in and indicated that he had a clue to attract other people's attention.
