Kaleidoscope of Death

Chapter 116 - Second

Twenty minutes, in the current situation, was just a blink of an eye.

Lin Qiushi had many thoughts running through his head, but he found that none of them could save Ruan Nanzhu. The only White Wood Toon that could kill the Box Girl was still on Ruan Nan Candle's body, and he didn't know if this White Wood Toon could kill the Box Girl when the skill was activated, and whether the gasoline handed in from the door would work... Everything was unknown, and the price of not knowing might be Ruan Nan Candle's life.

Lin Qiushi felt indescribably weak. In front of the rules of the door, he was so weak, and even though he was a mantis, he was no more than that. He could only be crushed, watching Ruan Nan Candle die.

"Yu Linlin." A voice suddenly sounded beside him, Little Artichoke who was standing far away somehow walked in front of him, saying, "Are you alright, Yu Linlin?"

Lin Qiushi looked at him with a look that was so cold it made Artichoke's expression stiffen slightly.

"The key that was unlocked from the safe earlier... is it still on her person?" Artichoke not too politely pointed out the point of the matter, "If this prop is taken by Box Girl, we'll be at a huge disadvantage, so..."

Lin Qiushi coldly said, "What do you want?"

Artichoke said, "I mean, you can't let her put the key under the door..."

Before he could speak, he was directly interrupted by Lin Qiushi, who said, "Can't."

Little Thistle was so forcefully blocked by Lin Qiushi, he laughed a little awkwardly and said, "Alright, can't... forget it."

Although he said forget it, the expressions of the other people in the crowd who heard this conversation didn't look good, after all, this was the key to the door, and if the box girl directly buried it, they would have even less chance of leaving this place. So the eyes of the crowd looked at Lin Qiushi changed subtly, and something else was added to their sympathy.

Lin Qiushi also sensed this change, but he didn't give any reaction. In fact at this moment, a very crazy idea was floating in his mind.

The door had rules, if there was only one person left, then that person would be under the protection of the door rules and the ghosts inside the door would no longer be able to harm him. And now there was only Ruan Nan Candle left inside the house... Lin Qiushi forced himself to shake off this thought, however, the panic of about to lose Ruan Nan Candle was like a snake, stalking him to death.

"What are you trying to say?" Lin Qiushi himself didn't even notice that the others looked at him with a bit of a shrinking look in their eyes as he said this, clearly intimidated by his expression and tone of voice.

"Lin Lin." Sun Yuanzhou seemed to want to say something, but in the end, he didn't say anything and just sighed, "Forget it... don't force it."

"Why don't you force it!" The crowd, however, suddenly erupted with sharp voices, and Lin Qiushi looked to see Xuan Zihui, the one who had been targeting Ruan Nan Candle, shouting loudly as she said, "If she dies, we'll lose our keys! Yu Linlin, make it clear, if she loves you, she'll hand over the key! Won't let you die here like this!"

Lin Qiushi stared at her, his eyes as cold as an iced deep lake.

Xuan Zihui was still raging, but under Lin Qiushi's gloomy stare, her tone inexplicably became a bit guilty, and she even involuntarily took two steps back and swallowed her saliva, "I... I'm just giving you a suggestion."

Lin Qiushi said, "Well, then I also have the right to not accept the advice, right?"

Xuan Zihui had nothing to say and unwillingly bit her lower lip.

Lin Qiushi's voice was soft and his tone was even as he said, "If something really happened to him and we can't find that insider, we'll all die here together." The corners of his mouth hooked upwards, his eyes like the black seawater on the eve of a storm, "I won't let the person who killed him leave this door alive."

Everyone knew that Lin Qiushi was serious, they no longer dared to utter any words of persuasion and could only watch time pass by little by little.

Lin Qiushi said, "Zhu Meng..." he pressed his face against the door and said, "You're so smart, think about it, think about whether there's any other way..."

Ruan Nanzhu was in the house, he also sensed Lin Qiushi's impending breakdown and said, "Lin Lin, don't be anxious, let me think again, maybe... there's some way out."

Lin Qiushi gritted his teeth, "You lied to me, you fucking lied to me!" Now that I think about it, I'm afraid that Ruan Nanzhu had expected all of this.

His state was off during the day, Lin Qiushi thought at the time that he was remembering old things, now that he thought about it, Ruan Nan Candle had not only remembered old things, he had also sensed the existence of a second insider.

Just what could he do, he could only isolate himself from the others, otherwise once Box Girl used that skill, he might not be the only one to die.

As the target of Box Girl's deadly stare, Ruan Nan Candle did his best, he had at least let Box Girl waste a sure-fire skill, so that Lin Qiushi wouldn't end up in danger with him.

When the house was silent, Lin Qiushi didn't want to waste any more time here and got up to go to the first floor to start opening the box.

If he could get out the most useful item in the game again, Ruan Nan Candle might still have a chance of survival.

Liang Mi Ye obviously guessed what Lin Qiushi wanted to do, she watched as Lin Qiushi opened two boxes, but both were empty, then Lin Qiushi walked up to the third box and raised his hand to open it.

"Lin Lin, you need to wake up." Liang Mi Ye knew it was best not to provoke Lin Qiushi at this point, but as she watched him move, she opened her scalp, "Don't open the third one, there's no guarantee about the third one, if something happens to you, Ruan... Zhu Meng is going to be sad!"

Lin Qiushi simply ignored it and directly lifted the lid of the chest, and his last hope was dashed when he opened the third chest, there was nothing inside, no props, no skills, no boxman - nothing.

At this moment, Lin Qiushi even had a dark thought in his mind, he hoped that a box man could be opened inside, so that he could go ahead of Ruan Nam Candle and not have to suffer what happened next.

With ten minutes left on the clock, he returned to the room where Ruan Nam Candle was locked up and leaned against the door burying his face in his knees.

Ruan Nam Candle seemed to be inside the door, sensing movement outside, and said, "Lin Lin, is that you?"

Lin Qiushi said, "I don't know what to do." He said, "I'm too weak, I can't save you." He covered his face with his hands, his shoulders shaking slightly, his emotions on the verge of exploding.

He sounded so desperate that the door gripped Ruan Nam Candle's heart, he knelt by the door and pressed his face against it, comforting his lover, he said, "Lin Lin, don't worry, don't cry..." he said this, but then he smiled bitterly, feeling so weak in his persuasion.

"Who is it? Who's on the inside? Have you guessed?" Lin Qiushi asked, "Is that him?" He said a name, then Ruan Nam Candle in the door hmmmed and said, "He's the most likely, but it needs to be confirmed... I have a way... you do as I say." He began to explain the rest of Lin Qiushi's story.

Lin Qiushi listened for a while and remained silent, but just when Ruan Nan Candle thought he was a little more stable, he suddenly said, "If they all die, will you be able to survive."

"No." Ruan Nan Candle said, "If they include you in them, I won't survive."

Lin Qiushi said, "No, you won't, it's my life for a chance, you'll cherish it."

Ruan Nan Candle said, "You can't kill everyone, there's just one more in my house." Also staying in a room with him was Tian Gu Xue, only Tian Gu Xue had a direct emotional breakdown after finding the door locked, Ruan Nan Candle found her troublesome, so he simply tied her up with a sheet and gagged her along with it, but he was not at all soft on traitors.

"Then what exactly do you want from me!!!" At the words, Lin Qiushi roared, he was furious, furious, and smashed up the door in front of him with his fist, "I don't need your sacrifice, I want to be with you for fuck's sake!!!! We'll be together even in death! Ruan Nan Candle, can't you consider my feelings!!!"

Ruan Nan Candle didn't speak.

When Lin Qiushi roared, he quieted down and muttered to himself, "I thought we still had a lot of time..."

Now that he thought about it, he was too naive.

No matter how strong Ruan Nan Candle was, facing the targeted attack of the monster inside the door, he was just an ordinary person, and even if he found something, the only thing he could do was just not to involve others in it.

The Ruan Nan Candle inside the door suddenly whispered, "Yu Lin Lin, I love you."

Lin Qiushi was silent for a moment when he heard this, before he mumbled, "I love you too, please, live, okay?"

Ruan Nancandle seemed to be planning to say something, but a miserable howl came out from inside the door, a cry that Lin Qiushi was all too familiar with and belonged to the Box Girl.

After the howling, there was silence, no matter how much Lin Qiushi called out, there was no response from inside.

Lin Qiushi stood up shakily and staggered out of the place, when he still had things to do - to take revenge for Ruan Nanzhu.

The others were still looking for the fire extinguisher, but no one found this to the prop until after twelve o'clock.

Lin Qiushi went back to his room and sat on a chair for a long time without moving.

Liang Mi Ye was very worried about his state of mind, but she did not dare to persuade him, so she sat next to Lin Qiushi and kept him company.

It wasn't until it was almost three in the morning that she was careful and spoke, "Lin Lin, do you want to go to sleep for a while?"

Lin Qiushi raised his eyes to look at her, Liang Miye was a little hairy from his stare, and quickly said, "Oh... it's okay if you don't want to sleep..." come to think of it, if something like this happened to her . I'm afraid it would be even more fragile than Lin Qiushi.

Lin Qiushi said, "Okay, then let's sleep for a while."

After he said this, he actually got into bed and fell back to sleep.

Liang Mi Ye, however, was made even more frightened, she had actually seen quite a few such things where she had lost her lover, and it was better to cry out on the spot instead, like Lin Qiushi who held it in his heart, it was actually easier to get into trouble.

But Liang Mi Ye didn't dare to say anything else, and turned around to get into her own bed.

As a result, Lin Qiushi fell asleep, but she was tossing and turning to try to lose sleep, and didn't sleep much all night, knowing that it was around five in the morning, before she closed her eyes in a daze.

The next morning, when Liang Mi Ye woke up, Lin Qiushi was already gone. She panicked and ran to the first floor without even washing her face, but saw that Lin Qiushi was already sitting on the dining table on the first floor eating breakfast.

He didn't look like he was about to collapse at all, instead he was unusually calm.

Liang Mi Ye's hair was a mess and she was still wearing her pajamas, but facing the eyes of the others, she awkwardly greeted Lin Qiushi and said, "Good morning, Lin Lin."

"Good morning." Lin Qiushi said.

Because Lin Qiushi had opened three boxes in one breath yesterday, Liang Miye would have no food today, but this was a small matter, the most important thing was that Ruan Nan Candle was gone.

Liang Mi Ye turned back to her room, and when she passed by the house where Ruan Nam Candle was, she tried to open it, and unsurprisingly found that the door was still in a locked state, and couldn't be opened from the outside.

And there wasn't any movement in the house either....

Liang Mi Ye remembered Ruan Nam Candle's appearance and sighed in her heart, such things as life and death were sad no matter what time they were placed.

Ruan Nam Candle's death and the buried key were both stimulating the nerves of the remaining people.

The worst part was that this morning, the crowd opened the box with a burst of bad luck, directly opening three box people, the number of people was drastically reduced, plus Tiangu Xue and Ruan Nam Candle who died last night, only thirteen people were left in the foreign house, only half of what they were when they first arrived here.

When Liang Mi Ye changed her clothes and arrived at the dining room, she heard someone crying, but when she looked at the situation, she found that the person crying had also lost her companion, and was in a similar situation to Lin Qiushi.

"Why don't you take out the key, if you do, we might be able to get out!" He was still eating, but Little Artichoke suddenly opened his mouth, he had always spoken rudely, and today it was the same, and all of a sudden he was pointing at Lin Qiushi.

Because he took the lead, the others looked at Lin Qiushi in a bad light.

Lin Qiushi sneered, "How come you weren't able to come forward when you opened the safe then? Wait until now to bullshit?"

Artichoke said, "Are you still a reasonable person-"

Lin Qiushi: "So what if we don't tell?" He said nonchalantly, "Is it hard for you to tenderly kill me?"

Little Thistle directly dropped the bowl of things in his hands, jerked up his sleeves and came towards Lin Qiushi, Xiao Mae, who was sitting next to him, quickly stopped him and said, "Little Thistle, forget it, it's already like this, why make such a frosty scene?" She deliberately lowered her voice again, "Barefoot is not afraid to wear shoes, his girlfriend just lost her, it's not worth it to have a problem with him."

Little Thistle just put out the fire.

When he made a scene, Lin Qiushi was cold, he wasn't afraid of a fight with Little Artichoke at all, in fact, he was now anxious to get into a fight with someone and take out the frustrated anger in his heart.

Because of Ruan Nanzhu's death, the entire team, which was quite united, completely fell apart. The insider who had killed Ruan Nan Candle had also not been found, and everyone didn't dare to share information like before, most of them left the restaurant quickly after eating.

Faced with such a situation, Sun Yuanzhou wanted to salvage the situation but was powerless, he tried to persuade everyone to unite but was poured cold water saying that even Zhu Meng hadn't engaged in an inside job, would it be useful for them to unite? Moreover, if he told what he had in his hands, who knew if he would be the next target of an insider attack.

Sun Yuanzhou had no choice but to ask Lin Qiushi if he had any ideas.

Lin Qiushi was very rude and said, "Ideas? Let's first find the fire extinguisher you lost before asking me what I think ."

Sun Yuanzhou: ".......This is indeed his fault, if his fire extinguisher hadn't been stolen, this wouldn't have happened and Zhu Meng wouldn't have died......."

Sun Yuanzhou could only sigh as he watched Lin Qiushi's distant back.

Zhu Meng's death completely crushed the not-so-close alliance, and everyone in the house started to go their own way.

Liang Mi Ye hadn't eaten anything all day and hadn't seen anyone from Lin Qiushi until evening, when Lin Qiushi returned to his room.

"Lin Lin, what have you been doing?" Liang Miye asked him.

"Something's up." Lin Qiushi answered vaguely.

Liang Mi Ye didn't dare to press hard until he was in a bad mood, and the house went quiet.

Both of them had a lot on their minds, and Liang Mi Ye was pessimistic about whether they were all going to die here. Lin Qiushi's mood seemed a lot more stable than yesterday though, and I don't know how he managed to adjust to it, Liang Miye had to admit that the finishing quality of Obsidian Stone's organization was really high, and if she and Lin Qiushi had swapped it, she would have collapsed.

It was a dreary and desperate day, as if the entire house had become a graveyard, and they were the ones buried alive inside.

The next morning, Lin Qiushi and Liang Miye went to open the box first. Still empty, they were both disappointed when they opened the box.

When they went to the dining room to gather, but saw that there were thirteen people and two less, when the whole foreign house box people and box women combined number of thirteen, has completely occupy the overwhelming advantage.

In front of the threat of death, the food has become boring, Liang Mi Ye has a ride without a ride eating, see Xiao Ji and Xiao Mae from outside the house came in, the two laughing and talking, seems to be in a good mood.

The only thing that surprised Liang Mi Ye was that she found that Xiaomei's eyes seemed to fall on Lin Qiushi after she sat down, although their eye contact was rather private, but because Liang Mi Ye's attention was on the two of them, so she noticed it at first, she looked suspicious, thinking in her heart, is there any relationship between Lin Qiushi and Xiaomei?

While pondering this matter, Lin Qiushi, who was sitting next to her, but suddenly put down the chopsticks in his hand and faintly said, "Since everyone is here, I have something I want to tell you all." Lin Qiushi said.

"What is it?" Sun Yuanzhou asked.

Lin Qiushi said, "I've found the inside man."

As soon as this was said, the entire room was in an uproar, and everyone revealed their astonishment, clearly shocked by Lin Qiushi's words.

He had found an insider? It's only been a day, how the hell did he find the inside man?

"Seriously?" Liang Mi Ye was also shocked, she just hadn't seen Lin Qiushi for a day, and he had actually touched the information of an insider!

"Of course it's true." Lin Qiushi sneered.

"Then who is it?" Sun Yuanzhou excitedly asked a question.

Lin Qiushi didn't say anything, he just landed his eyes on someone, and that person, after noticing that Lin Qiushi was staring at him, instantly blew up and yelled out, "Who the hell are you looking at? I'm an inside man? You just can't stand it when I ask you to hand over the keys. As for insulting me so?" --The one who spoke was the Little Thistle who had been at odds with Lin Qiushi.

"Is it really Little Thistle?" The others had skeptical expressions as well, because the conflict between Little Thistle and Lin Qiushi was evident to everyone, and if Lin Qiushi didn't have proof, it would definitely be difficult to convince people.

"Of course it's him." Lin Qiushi sneered, "He's the only one among us who can safely open a box and still not be suspected and sum."

"What? Is that what you're using to prove I'm an inside man?" Artichoke said, "I got lucky and was able to open it, so what can I do if I don't obey you?"

"Did you really drive that prop?" Lin Qiushi said, "Everyone has read the rulebook, right?"

The crowd nodded.

"This rulebook is roughly the same as the one outside the door." Lin Qiushi said, "It's an improved version of the rulebook."

In the early days of Box Girl's release, it was more difficult because players didn't have any items they could use at all, but after it was improved, Box Girl's difficulty was weakened, and one of the most important manifestations of it was that players could choose several tools before entering the door, including the stethoscope on Little Artichoke, and the pen that Lin Qiushi had prescribed that could be used for the Pen Fairy, which was included.

Lin Qiushi was beginning to think that there was a difference between the rules inside the door and outside, but now that he thought about it, there wasn't.

The stethoscope that Little Thistle had gotten in her hand wasn't opened at all either, and the probability was that it was a tool put together with the rulebook for the player to use, only to be hidden in a box by Little Thistle and opened again in front of everyone.

"Oh." Faced with Lin Qiushi's question, but Little Thistle appeared relaxed, he said, "Words without proof, everyone knows that you and I have a problem, and with just two words, it's like sentencing me to death? Yu Lin Lin, aren't you too naive?"

Lin Qiushi spread his hands, his tone light, "That was just my inference, of course, I won't tell you about it without tangible evidence."

Little Thistle's expression sank at the words, he sneered, "Fine, tell me, where is the evidence? Let me make it clear, I'm a person who hates being wrongly accused, and if you can't come up with convincing evidence..."

Lin Qiushi looked at him with contempt, "No need to put harsh words in your mouth, your evidence is hanging around your neck."

Everyone looked towards Little Thistle's neck, but they saw that around his neck was the same stethoscope that was used to determine whether or not the box had a boxer hanging from it.

The author has this to say.

Ruanan Candle has to do this to expend one of Box Girl's greatest skills, and Box Girl can be used a second time if it's just interrupted. The box girl setting has been modified in there, and the rules of the realistic board game are actually a little less friendly.
