Kaleidoscope of Death

Chapter 113 - The Inside Story

"This skill is the most powerful of all the Box Girl skill cards, and can directly destroy the people in a room, but there's a very important requirement for this skill - you must unlock six cards before you can use it. It's the only good news so far.

The newcomer, however, was not comforted at all, and bawled after hearing Ruan Nanzhu's words, saying that she shouldn't have opened the box, knowing that she was unlucky, having bought lottery tickets for decades and not even winning a single five yuan, and then she opened the box and found something like this.

Lin Qiushi didn't know how to comfort her, to be honest, he also said that the girl was indeed unlucky, but at least she only opened the skill, not the box girl....

"What are we going to do, die here?" The newbie girl wept and kept wiping her tears with her hands "If we all stay in the same room, will the box girl's skill card not start..."

"It's not that good." Ruan Nan Candle ruthlessly shattered her fantasy, "The inside of the door stipulates that everyone is not allowed to stay in one room, otherwise something force majeure will happen, besides, even though this door has special rules and everyone can barely squeeze into one room, once the insider finds a chance to sneak out of that room, the box girl will easily be able to wipe everyone out at once. "

"What about it?" The girl asked pitifully, "Are we just going to have to wait to die?"

"Who knows." Ruan Nam Candle didn't give her an answer either.

The three of them went back to their room and Leong Mi Ye sighed, saying that the girl's luck wasn't a little too bad.

"It's too bad." Ruan Nam Candle said, "It can all be opened by her."

"Do you think the box girl knows the location of the props placed in each box?" Lin Qiushi suddenly asked.

"Can't say." Ruan Nan Candle shook his head, "But at least when playing the game outside the door, the box girl knows." Inside the board game, Box Girl played a role similar to that of a judge, and all the prop cards were placed by her, but after they were placed, they could no longer move their positions unless they used special skills.

But the door is not known, Ruan Nanzhu probability guesses that the box girl is not aware of the location of these props, otherwise she is inside the crowd, I'm afraid she can open all her skills in one breath. No player would be able to escape at that time.

Lin Qiushi nodded his head and also felt that it made more sense, at the same time he was still thinking about the matter about the inside traitor, there were currently eighteen people left in the house, the number was still very large, it wasn't easy to find out the traitor from inside.

Liang Mi Ye and Ruan Nam Candle were chatting about the matter of the insiders.

Ruan Nam Candle said that he didn't have a clue yet, but from his tone, Lin Qiushi heard a flaw in his voice, and he looked towards Ruan Nam Candle, right in line with his eyes.

Ruan Nan Candle said, "I still really don't know who the insiders are, they're hiding too well." As he said this, his eyes slowly fell to the top of the wooden box in front of him, it was like he was speaking to the box.

"Let's hope that we can find out the insider sooner." Ruan Nan Candle ended the conversation with that as his closing words.

As night fell, the foreign house quieted down.

As Lin Qiushi lay in the darkness, with his eyes closed and planning to sleep, he felt a person squeeze into his blanket, no doubt it was Ruan Nan Candle.

The two of them began to quietly bite their ears again.

"Are you asleep." Ruan Nan Candle asked.

"No." Lin Qiushi said.

"I know what you want to ask, but now is not the time." Ruan Nan Candle leaned against Lin Qiushi's ear and detailed in an inaudible voice, "It will take some time."

Lin Qiushi hmmmed, he was always like this, if Ruan Nan Candle didn't want to talk about it, he wouldn't ask.

Ruan Nan Candle also loved this gesture of trust so much that he reached out and hugged Lin Qiushi, saying, "Go to sleep."

Lin Qiushi closed his eyes and they fell into a deep sleep.

Outside the door, the morning meant the start of a new day, but inside the door, as the sun scattered its golden rays on the floor through the windows, it meant a new round of nightmares.

They're unpacking again, choosing their goals from over a hundred boxes. Each man's heart hung high before he opened the boxes, and with a soft click, the answer was announced as to whether he would live or die.

This morning there was another victim, an old man who was unlucky enough to open a box and was dragged right out of the box and in on the spot.

Immediately there was a horrible cry in the box, informing the others of his miserable end. His companion fell softly beside him, picking up the box and crying.

Lin Qiushi happened to witness this scene, and he sighed softly.

Ruan Nan Candle then reached out and turned his face to his side, saying, "Don't look at him, isn't it good to look at me more."

Lin Qiushi laughed, "Yes, just look at you."

Liang Mi Ye was reading that she didn't seem to be starving without eating, but there was dog food to fill her hunger anyway.

Before they ate breakfast, they chose two boxes on the first floor and opened them carefully only after Lin Qiushi's confirmation.

After the boxes were opened, a black pen appeared inside.

"A pen fairy?!" Lin Qiushi recognized the prop, and to be honest, he breathed a sigh of relief when he saw it, it was the first one they had gotten.

The Pen Fairy, was one of the props that players could bring with them inside the board game.

The function of this prop was to determine the floor where the box girl was, but this prop had a huge flaw, it would die immediately once it was used in the room where the box girl was.

Lin Qiushi picked up the pen and felt a cold sensation upon entering it, it seemed to be just an ordinary pen, but it was vaguely ominous.

Lin Qiushi put the pen into his pocket and said, "It doesn't feel like it's very useful."

"It's definitely useful at critical times." Ruan Nam Candle said, "Let's go, let's go to the restaurant first and see what they've opened up."

They walked into the restaurant and saw people sitting dead at tables, some were eating while others didn't touch their chopsticks.

Ruan Nan Candle counted the number of people, excluding the one who was in trouble outside the door and the one who was crying, there were sixteen people here.

"Did everyone open any key items today?" Ruan Nam Candle asked.

The crowd was quiet for a moment, and a veteran spoke up, "I opened a coded card."

"Really?" Ruan Nan Candle brightened up. They had currently gathered three password cards, and if they had one more, the safe in the study would basically be open.

"Really." The man took the cards out of his own arms and said, "Mumble... I can do without the key, but I don't want to open the safe either." People had died before from opening safes, and he obviously didn't want to take the chance.

"You can." Ruanan Candle nodded.

There didn't seem to be anyone else in the house who had acquired the prop, and it looked like everyone was having bad luck.

Liang Mi Ye also joked that if someone particularly lucky came here, wouldn't they be able to get out of here in a day or two.

Although this sounded a bit funny, but the truth indeed if, with enough luck, one could indeed easily crack the dilemma in front of them.

After getting the code, Ruan Nanzhu immediately went to the second floor and started unlocking the door.

The others in the house followed him and Sun Yuanzhou stood right next to Ruan Nam Candle, watching Ruan Nam Candle's actions and asked, "If you try this, nothing will happen, right?"

"It shouldn't." Ruan Nam Candle replied, "The passwords in the board game can also be deduced, and there is no order to the passwords in the board game, but the combination lock here does, so even if we get a four-digit password, we have to try the order." As he spoke, his hands kept moving and the combination lock made a clicking sound of being turned in his hands.

About six or seven minutes later, but the crowd heard a soft sound, and the heavy safe door opened in response, revealing what was placed there.

It was a rustic bronze key, exactly the shape they were familiar with - it was the key that belonged to the door.

"The key, the key!!!" People saw the key and shouted in excitement, and there were even newcomers crying tears of joy.

After a long period of depression and despair, the key seemed to ignite their desire for life, and the crowd's expectant eyes almost materialized.

Ruan Nan Candle saw the key, but frowned.

"What's wrong?" Sun Yuanzhou asked him.

"What about this key." Ruan Nan Candle said, "Do I carry it with me?"

Sun Yuanzhou was a bit baffled, who would want to hand over this key when it would get them out of here?

"I'm just afraid that the key will be buried." Ruan Nan Candle sighed, "Because if something happens to a person, all the props he was carrying will be destroyed together... The person holding the key will definitely be a target for the box girl."

"Then what should we do? How about you put the key back in the safe?" A girl whispered, "Wait until we find the door and we can get the key?"

There didn't seem to be anything wrong with that, since there was no way for the box girl to get into the safe, but that method presupposed that there was no box girl inside one of them, or who knew what would happen.

"I'd better bring it with me." Ruan Nan Candle said lightly, "so that it won't be taken away by anyone with an ulterior motive."

No one said anything, ever since yesterday when Ruan Nan Candle had said that there might be a box girl inside among them, the trust between the people had become even thinner.

It could be said that for the entire team, Ruan Nan Candle was the only one who could be trusted. Because as long as he didn't tell them the purpose of the props and the card skills, they would have to crash to their deaths like headless flies in this horrible foreign house.

With the key in hand, the rest of the job was to find the door.

According to the board game's setting, the key had to open the underground passage in order to leave, and the underground passage, too, was set inside the wooden box.

After the crowd dispersed, Ruan Nam Candle said he wanted to talk to someone.

Lin Qiushi: "Let's go together."

Ruan Nam Candle: "Okay, Mi Ye, you can be in the room, too many people will easily attract attention."

"Okay." Liang Mi Ye was very cooperative with this, she knew that Ruan Nan Candle wouldn't harm her.

Ruan Nam Candle went to a bedroom on the second floor and knocked on the door of that room, which opened a moment later to reveal a wary face and said, "Something wrong?"

Lin Qiushi recognized this person, this was the veteran who had opened the gasoline prop yesterday, his name seemed to be Ren Ruyuan.

"I have something I want to talk to you about." Ruan Nan Candle.

"Good." Ren Mingyuan treated Ruan Nan Candle well, but the look in his eyes towards Lin Qiushi was not so kind, apparently facilitated by Ruan Nan Candle's disguise.

"Have you already used your gasoline?" Ruanan Candle asked.

"Not yet." Ren Ruyuan answered.

Although he had said yesterday that he was going to use gasoline to unbox today, it seemed that he still hadn't spared this precious prop.

"Great." Ruan Nam Candle said, "Didn't I say that the underground passage is under the wooden box?"

"Yeah." Ren Rudra, "What's wrong?"

Ruan Nan Candle said, "But what I didn't tell you is... the Box Girl can arrange for herself or the Box Man to guard the entrance."

There was a silence, and Ren Ruyuan's expression twisted, "You're serious?!"

"Of course I'm serious," Nguyen Nan Candle said, "The only way to get the Box Girl to not guard the entrance is to flip out of the entrance after she finds the key." The only way to ensure that the Box Girl was not given time to act was to just take the key and open the entrance and leave the place.

Ren Ruyuan frowned and continued to listen to Ruan Nam Candle.

Ruan Nan Candle said, "But there is a problem here."

Ren Ruyuan also understood: "There's a Box Girl inside between us?!" So now they couldn't be sure when the entrance had been discovered, and if it had been discovered and hidden by the Box Girl's inner circle, then even if they found the key, they would have to face the Box Girl or Box Man in the wooden box, and there would be no way to leave.

"Fuck." Ren Ruyuan couldn't help but curse an obscenity and said angrily, "Don't fucking let me find him, or I'll have to kill him-" he said this and also understood Ruan Nan Candle's intention, "You came to find me, you want me to leave the gasoline behind? "

"Right." Ruan Nan Candle nodded.

Ren Ruyuan didn't say anything.

"This is the only prop we've found so far that is lethal to Box Girl." Ruan Nan Candle's attitude was calm, not aggressive or saying anything righteous, "You opened this prop, you have the right to use it in any way you want, I'm just telling this prop is very important."

Ren Ruyuan sighed lowly, "Okay, I know."

When Ruan Nan Candle stood up, he planned to leave.

"How many doors are you through?" Ren Ruyuan suddenly asked.

"The tenth fan." Ruan Nan Candle echoed.

"Oh." Ren Ruyuan said, "Alright, thanks for reminding me, I'll think about it."

Then Lin Qiushi and Ruan Nan Candle left Ren Ruyuan's room, they were both a bit preoccupied, Lin Qiushi was thinking about whether Ren Ruyuan would use the gasoline, but Ruan Nan Candle didn't know what to think about.

The fact that they had gotten the key was like a boost to everyone's spirits.

During lunch time everyone heatedly discussed where the entrance was, saying that there were still more than a hundred chests that hadn't been opened yet, and if they were a little more lucky, they could definitely get out of here sooner.

"It's not that easy." Sun Yuanzhou, however, threw cold water on the optimistic crowd, "Are you guys too happy too soon?"

Those newcomers with happy faces were stunned at the news , one of them whispered, "What do you mean, Brother Sun?"

"The insider hasn't been found yet." Sun Yuanzhou coldly said, "Haven't you ever thought that the inner man has already opened the passage, but didn't tell us?"

The house was instantly silent, and the smiles on those faces seemed to freeze in an instant.

Ruan Nan Candle lowered his head and ate without taking part in this matter, although he and Sun Yuanzhou were thinking similarly, it wasn't really a bad thing to make these people hopeful.

"If this happens, we'll be completely finished." Sun Yuanzhou said, "We won't go reopening the chests we've already opened, the passage will never appear."

There was dead silence at the table, the old people were experienced and most of them had already thought of the situation Sun Yuanzhou was talking about, so their attitude was quite peaceful, but there were already people inside the newcomers who couldn't stand the sudden shock and yelled out, "Then what do you think we should do, we'll just have to wait here and die?!!!"

Sun Yuanzhou gave him an indifferent look and said, "If I knew what to do, would I still be sitting here chatting with you?"

Seeing that a heated argument was about to break out, Ruan Nan Candle suddenly spoke, "Alright, stop arguing, Sun Yuanzhou, I want to talk to you alone."

"Okay." Sun Yuanzhou agreed.

Ruan Nan Candle then stood up and walked outside with Sun Yuanzhou.

Lin Qiushi was using the fork in his hand to fork the noodles, but he was eating seriously, and Liang Miye whispered, "Aren't you curious about what they said?"

Lin Qiushi said, "What is there to be curious about, he will tell us anyway."

Liang Mi Ye blinked and smiled at the words, "I really envy you guys."

Lin Qiushi inexplicably looked at Liang Mi Ye.

And then Ruan Nan Candle and Sun Yuanzhou arrived outside the door, Sun Yuanzhou was about to light up a cigarette, but Ruan Nan Candle stopped him: "Don't let me get second-hand smoke, come on, eat the candy." He handed Sun Yuanzhou a candy.

Sun Yuanzhou stared at the small colored candy with a smiley expression, "I didn't think you were so childlike?"

"Lover likes to eat." Ruan Nan Candle returned.

"Are you really in love with Yu Lin Lin?" Sun Yuanzhou seemed a little disbelieving.

"The second child is three years old." Ruan Nan Candle opened his eyes and lied, "The oldest one is already in middle school." A motherly smile appeared on his face, "For them, I'd do anything."

Sun Yuanzhou: "..." he was silent for a moment and sighed, "It's not even easy to be a mother."

"Yeah." Ruan Nan Candle nodded as well.

"By the way, what did you find me out to say?" Only then did Sun Yuanzhou bring the topic back to the main topic.

"I can make sure you're not an insider, and you can make sure I'm not an insider, so we can have a partnership now, right?" Nguyen Nan Candle asked.

"Why do you say that?" Sun Yuanzhou raised his eyebrows.

"Because I need your help in finding an inside man." Ruan Nam Candle.

"How can I help?" Sun Yuanzhou asked.

Pulling out some post-it notes from her pocket, all of which were provided by Sun Yuan Chau to record the contents of the box she had opened, Ruan Nam Candle said, "You gave it to me, didn't you?"

When Sun Yuanzhou saw the note paper in Ruan Nan Candle's hand, his eyes moved slightly, but quickly returned to normal and smiled, "What do you mean?"

"It's all old foxes," Nguyen Nan Candle said, "Do I have to make it clear?" When he got the note paper, he felt that something was wrong, so he compared it in detail with Lin Qiushi Liang Miye's note paper, and although it didn't look different from the outside, there was a very faint smell on the note paper.

But it didn't harm him for Sun Yuanzhou to do so, so he didn't bother to say anything, but right now it was different, he needed Sun Yuanzhou's help to determine which boxes that insider had opened.

"Okay." Sun Yuanzhou put the candy in his mouth, "I did tamper with the post-it note." He pulled out an irradiator from his pocket and shone a light on the note in Ruan Nam Candle's hand, and a number "8" was displayed on it.

They were all things he carried with him just in case, but I didn't expect them to actually work.

Ruan Nan Candle tsked and said, "Brother Sun, you can."

Sun Yuanzhou laughed and sighed, "Which is not as powerful as you." Ruan Nan Candle's strength was obvious to all of them, and those who could get the tenth fan clue were really not simple people.

"So you've decided who the inside man is?" Sun Yuanzhou asked.

"Probably." Ruan Nam Candle said, "It doesn't look like the IQ is very high, how did you get chosen by the box girl." He pulled another candy out of his pocket, peeled it off, and stuffed it in his own mouth, "How easy it would have been to pick me, I'll make sure you're all dead in a short time."

Sun Yuanzhou laughed, "Kill them all? I'm afraid you are reluctant to leave oh." The atmosphere between Ruan Nan Candle and Lin Qiushi, anyone with long eyes could see, "Isn't your husband here too?"

"He's not my husband." Ruan Nan Candle blinked and added drama to her own, "He's the one I cheated on him with."

Sun Yuanzhou's originally brilliant smile just froze straight on his face.

"Good looking and good working." Ruan Nam Candle's addiction to drama was finally satisfied at this point, and he said, "You can understand that, right?"

Sun Won Chau: "..." sorry, he really couldn't understand, it was as if he heard Ruan Nam Candle's husband's background music change to: i hear raindrops falling on green grass.

"Forget it, let's not talk about it." Sun Yuanzhou touched his nose and decided to skip this embarrassing topic, "What are you going to do next?"

Ruan Nanzhu said, "Naturally, we should first open all the boxes that Nei Ying has opened, and open them all again."

Sun Yuanzhou: "Wouldn't this be a waste of time?"

Ruan Nan Candle spread his hands, "No, don't you have any other good idea?"

Sun Yuanzhou: "No."

"That's not it." Ruan Nan Candle, "It's a stupid method, but at least we can make sure we're not doing anything useless."
