Kaleidoscope of Death

Ruan Nanzhu knew that Lin Qiushi seemed to have realized his little secret one afternoon after they left the door and returned to reality.

That day, Ruan Nam Candle had nothing to do and was sitting on the balcony, looking through books, and happened to find a sentence that he found interesting, so he read it out to Lin Qiushi.

Lin Qiushi was sleeping, but after hearing this sentence, he was lost in a daze and said to Ruan Nan Candle, "What you do to the Abyss is always reflected on yourself is it."

"Yes." Ruan Nan Candle didn't think much about it, bowed his head and kissed Lin Qiushi.

Then he heard Lin Qiushi say, "Then should I zip down my pants at you..."

Ruan Nan Candle was mute for a moment, then he laughed lowly, and that's when he realized, Lin Qiushi knew everything.

"Yes." Ruan Nan Candle replied thus, "So, you can be kinder to Abyss."

At first, Lin Qiushi didn't notice the differences in his life because all his attention was on Ruan Nam Candle, but later, after Ruan Nam Candle reviewed, these differences slowly surfaced like icebergs hidden under the surface of the water.

In Lin Qiushi's memory, he didn't smoke, and even if he had a cigarette with him, it was just to hand it to someone else at work. But after he left the door, he actually made an addiction to smoking, and could even smoke several packs a day, without even the slightest sense of contradiction from his first time smoking.

And the original indifferent relationship with his family actually began to contact him frequently, the words are some of his worries, and Bai Ming, obviously and Ruan Nanzhu are good friends, but it seems as if they have known each other for many years.......

These things Lin Qiushi saw in his eyes, but did not delve into them.

It didn't matter if the answers to some questions were obtained or not, as long as Ruan Nan Candle was by his side, he felt that it was enough, and as for what Ruan Nan Candle was....

Lin Qiushi reached out and cupped the earlobe of his lover beside him, coming up to his cheek and murmuring in a low voice, "What are you, dear?"

Ruan Nan Candle was reading a book and looked up at Lin Qiushi and suddenly laughed as he said, "I'm your milk tea ah."

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

Nguyen Nam Candle said, "Aren't you going to ask me why I'm your milk tea?"

Lin Qiushi raised his eyebrows, "The last time I heard this joke I was a virgin, and now I'm the mother of three children."

Immediately the two of them laughed, and the atmosphere was filled with pleasure.

Ruan Nan Candle had thought that Lin Qiushi would continue to ask questions, but who knew that when Lin Qiushi stretched his back, he climbed up from the bed and said that he was going to take a shower, so he ended the conversation.

Ruan Nan Candle looked at Lin Qiushi's back and opened his mouth to make a mouth shape, if Lin Qiushi turned around at that moment, he would find that Ruan Nan Candle was saying something to him - I am the door.

I am the door, that's right, what Ruan Nam Candle said, is I am the door.

He was the twelfth door.

But the truth was that Ruan Nam Candle hadn't even realized this until he experienced the night of the Hundred Ghosts. His memories were perfect, as if he really was the leader of Obsidian, an ordinary person who had started entering the door in his teens, and had passed through countless thorns, and finally managed to pass through the tenth door. Ruan Nan Candle had no other memories of the door and was convinced that he was an ordinary human being.

This conviction was until the end of the Night of the Hundred Ghosts that he and Lin Qiushi spent, but it was suddenly broken.

At that time, the days were getting longer and the nights were getting shorter, and the time that Ruan Nan Candle spent with Lin Qiushi had entered a countdown. When the night stopped coming, Ruan Nan Candle thought he would never see Lin Qiushi again, he was madly trying to find the key to get out of here, but he vaguely noticed something that seemed to be out of his control....

What he hadn't told Lin Qiushi was that he also saw ghosts during the day, at first because he was afraid that Lin Qiushi would be worried, but later because he realized that they wouldn't hurt him. Terrifying ghosts existed around every corner, and even when Ruan Nam Candle opened his suitcase, he saw a terrifying box girl hidden inside - although she looked innocent when Ruan Nam Candle turned it over.

From the initial surprise with hidden fear, to the indifference and numbness that followed, Ruan Nam Candle went through about half a month's time.

When he realized that he would never see Lin Qiushi again, Ruan Nam Candle had been able to coldly kick down the female ghost squatting at the head of his bed, and indifferently asked her not to squat on top of his head, so that he would not grow taller... I don't know if it was his illusion, but after he said this, he actually saw a little aggravation on the female ghost's face.

Ruan Nan Candle's angry and vigorous mind thought, what are you grieving for, I haven't even had a chance to grieve yet.

But at this point though the situation around him was getting stranger and stranger, Ruan Nam Candle was still in a fog and didn't understand what was happening, he even thought it was the door's punishment for him, until one day, a kid in a red coat led him to a place.

When Ruan Nan Candle walked there, he immediately recognized it as the location of the apartment where Lin Qiushi had once lived, except that the apartment hadn't been built yet, and in front of him was a very old looking tube building.

The kid was standing on the fifth floor, waving towards Ruan Nam Candle, who looked up at her and frowned, "Fifth floor? What did you bring me here for?" He observed the kid's appearance carefully, a little incredulous, "You're not Satoko, are you?"

After he said that, he saw the kid smiling coyly...although it wasn't cute at all to make that expression with a pale face.

Ruan Nam Candle was in a hurry to get out of here, but had no clue about the key, so he thought of treating a dead horse as if it were alive and going to see what Satoko was trying to show him.

Ruan Nam Candle went up to the fifth floor and walked to a room at the end, pushing open the flimsy door to see a room. The room was empty, except for an old, broken television placed on the bed, which seemed to be playing some sort of program.

Ruan Nan Candle's eyes landed on the TV, and a startled look appeared in his eyes, he even thought he was mistaken, and quickly walked to the TV, which confirmed that it was indeed the appearance of Lin Qiushi when he was a teenager.

Lin Qiushi was walking on a small path, two people appeared beside him, these two people Ruan Nan Candle also knew, namely, the bear lacquer and Xiao Ke they had seen inside a door, Ruan Nan Candle held his breath, his eyes were still staring at the picture on the TV.

"Where is this place ah?" Junior Lin Qiushi's expression was very young, and his black eyes held some fear as he cautiously asked, "And who are you?"

The screen continued to play and Ruan Nan Candle watched the entire content, what was actually playing inside the TV was how Lin Qiushi got through the first door without Ruan Nan Candle.

Ruan Nam Candle's fingertips touched the cold screen and gently crossed Lin Qiushi's cheek through the glass, which was so fascinating even when he was young.

He was like an unexplored raw stone, and anyone who knew anything about it knew what kind of glorious treasure would open up inside.

A smart, brave, calm, not blindly kind and sticking to the bottom line, Nguyen Nam Candle thought, his lover was so appealing to the eye no matter what the circumstances.

The TV show became a serial, all about Lin Qiushi, about how he got in, about how he met a group of friends, about how he took over Obsidian....

Ruan Nan Candle saw enthralled, a thought even popped up in his head, why didn't he accompany Lin Qiushi when he was doing these things, what a wonderful experience it would have been if he could have accompanied him... Then Ruan Nan Candle woke up with a start and noticed that he was different.

He was indeed accompanying Lin Qiushi, accompanying him through the eleven gates, but if that was the case, then why did the thoughts he had just had appear so naturally in his mind?

Ruan Nan Candle felt that something was wrong.

And this wrongness also began to expand and spread like an unstoppable plague with the continuous drama in front of him.

Ruan Nam Candle saw Lin Qiushi's family on TV, and the pattern of how they got along with each other was exactly the same as his own family. Ruan Nan Candle also saw Bai Ming, who was supposed to be his best friend, but in the TV, was Lin Qiushi's best friend....

Lin Qiushi slowly grew up, from a teenager, into a mature man, people around him came and went, but he was just the first to remain unchanged, as if the darkness shining on him wouldn't even cast a shadow.

After watching Lin Qiushi for three days and three nights in a row, Ruan Nan Candle finally realized something... he seemed, not human.

For three days, without sleep or rest, but he felt no hunger or fatigue, and remained radiant and in the best shape of his life.

Time was nullified in him.

The brat who had brought him here was crouching next to him, eyeing him.

Ruan Nan Candle was wary of her at first, but then he had become somewhat frustrated, and he said, "What are you showing me this for? Is it to tell me I'm not human?"

Satoko turned her head and looked at Ruan Nam Candle without saying anything.

Ruan Nam Candle wanted to say something else, but Satoko reached out and pointed at the screen, gesturing for Ruan Nam Candle to continue watching.

Ruan Nan Candle thought that things couldn't get any worse anyway, so just keep watching, he couldn't leave the place and couldn't see Lin Qiushi, so it didn't matter if he continued to watch.

So Ruan Nan Candle watched Lin Qiushi's time go on.

He was like a voyeur, looking at every section of Lin Qiushi's life since he had touched the door. He watched Lin Qiu Shi cry, he watched Lin Qiu Shi laugh, he watched him make new friends with bright smiles, he watched him cry when he lost his best friend, time passed by, and Ruan Nam Candle, who didn't need to rest, lost the concept of time.

Finally, a decisive change occurred in the picture.

Ruan Nam Candle saw Lin Qiushi enter his twelfth door, then the picture changed, Lin Qiushi appeared in a familiar rental house.

At the same time, the scene around Ruan Nanchu began to change, the old decorations began to fade, and his surroundings became exactly the same as the TV.

On the TV, Lin Qiushi was asleep on his bed, and a black shadow, appeared beside Lin Qiushi. The shadow couldn't see the exact appearance clearly, it was just a cloud of dark shadows. The shadow stretched out its fingers and carefully touched Lin Qiushi's cheek, from his forehead, to the bridge of his nose, and then to his lips, moving gently, as if it was afraid of waking up the sleeping Lin Qiushi.

Then The Shadow's body began to change, the black gradually faded from his body, and he looked more and more like a human, even becoming, at one moment, identical to Lin Qiushi lying on the bed.

But the shadow didn't seem to want to have the same face as Lin Qiushi, so he quickly changed his appearance, and when the shadow finally took shape, Ruan Nam Candle, who was watching all this outside the TV, smiled bitterly - the shadow, in fact, looked the same as him.

That's right, the shadow was Ruan Nam Candle.

If it was anyone else, they would have gone crazy from the excitement of seeing this scene, but Ruan was very calm, in fact he had already speculated about it when he watched Lin Qiushi's life in the past few days, but now seeing it with his own eyes, it was still a bit exciting.

The TV Ruan Nan Candle smiled longingly at Lin Qiushi, then his body faded away and disappeared beside Lin Qiushi.

And when Lin Qiushi woke up the next day, the first thing he found was that Chestnut wouldn't let him hug him anymore.

The cat Chestnut, who was originally very sticky to him, was actually angry at him and acted like he didn't know him at all. And when the cat slave Lin Qiushi saw this, he was completely at a loss and could only be very aggrieved at Chestnut, who was standing tall with a very disdainful expression, and said, "Why don't you want daddy, Chestnut?"

Ruan Nan Candle looked at this Lin Qiushi, his shoulders began to shake slightly, then finally couldn't help but laugh, he knew that the story belonging to him and Lin Qiushi was about to begin.

Sure enough, a few days later, Lin Qiushi opened the door.

Inside the door was a scene he was supposed to have seen once, but since his memories had been modified, only strangers remained in his eyes, and this time, there was an additional unfamiliar face on his path forward.

Ruan Baijie, who was wearing women's clothes, pitifully walked up to Lin Qiushi, tears filling his eyes, and asked Lin Qiushi where this place was.

And when Lin Qiushi asked Ruan Nan Candle's name, the words Ruan Baijie came out of Ruan Nan Candle's mouth.

This was how they met.

At that time, Ruan Nan Candle also thought he was an ordinary person, he finally got his wish and joined Lin Qiushi's journey in a different way, becoming an integral and important part of Lin Qiushi's life.

This made Ruan Nan Candle very satisfied, except that everything would eventually come to an end, and so would the Twelve Gates.

Ruan Nam Candle still hadn't recovered his memories of being a non-human, he just knew that he wasn't human, but what exactly was he? Thinking about this, Ruan Nan Candle looked at Satoko, who was staring at him with his eyes, and said in dismay, "I shouldn't be the NPC guarding the door in the Twelve Gates, should I?"

Satoko didn't say anything as she had a chance to look at Ruan Nan Candle, but Ruan Nan Candle actually saw a scowl in her eyes.

Ruan Nan Candle: ".......Damn, it seems to be true.

Honestly, this kind of thing of erasing his memories and seemingly never recovering them, Ruan Nam Candle felt like he could actually do it, and now that he had achieved his goal, he had gotten the one he loved.

"What if I'm actually kind of happy." There was no one here, only endless ghosts and monsters, Ruan Nan Candle sat in the darkness and smiled gently, "The thought of experiencing so much with him makes me feel so happy."

Naturally, Satoko next to him wouldn't give him an echo.

"But now the question arises, how do I get out." Ruan Nam Candle looked up at the strange rental house, "I can get out, I guess." He thought for a moment and shifted his gaze to Satoko, "What else do you know?"

Satoko glanced at the clock on the wall.

Ruan Nam Candle: "A clock?" He stood up and looked at the clock that was still going on with twelve numbers, and after a moment's contemplation, he reached out and removed the clock.

He then removed the clock lid, and after not seeing anything in the lid, he held down the button that controlled the paper hour hand, and was about to turn it, but then something occurred to him, and he asked Satoko one last question, and he said, "By the way... will I die if I don't make it through the door with Akashi? "

Satoko's expression became a bit strange at the news, like pity or looking at a mentally disturbed person, but in the end she actually nodded her head.

Ruan Nan Candle lost his smile, thinking that this was really his own style, everything had to be perfect, all leaning towards the truth.

Ruan Nan Candle turned the clock, and a moment later, two keys fell to the ground, he picked them up, and couldn't help but smile again when he saw the words engraved on them.

Illusory life, real death, no matter what kind of world Lin Qiushi wanted, Ruan Nan Candle could give it to him.

He could choose the cruel reality, or he could choose a beautiful dream, the power to make decisions, Ruan Nan Candle put in Lin Qiushi's hands.

Only now, it was all about redundant, Ruan Nan Candle didn't have to think about it, he knew Lin Qiushi's answer, he took the key, turned around and left the house, opened the door, but in the hallway, there was only one door. That door was filled with a gentle white light, and Ruan Nan Candle walked to the door and lifted his step to enter.

The world line began to change.

The obsidian group who had no memory of Ruan Nan Candle at all, but there seemed to be something more in their minds, so when they saw Ruan Nan Candle walking down from the second floor of the villa, no one showed a surprised expression, and even the leaf bird excitedly called Lin Qiushi to tell him that Ruan was back.

Lin Qiushi on the other end of the phone was overjoyed himself.

Ruan Nan Candle, on the other hand, sat in the living room, motionlessly observing the scenery around him, making sure that there was no difference between this scenery and what he remembered.

"Brother Ruan, you're finally back." Ye Bird was still talking to him, "You don't even know how Ringo has been for the past year."

"A year?" Ruan Nan Candle was slightly startled, "It's been a year already?"

"Yeah." Ye Bird said, "It's been a year already."

Ruan Nan Candle thought, it's a good thing he didn't hesitate, or else if he delayed some more, I'm afraid Lin Qiushi's child would be three years old by the time he came out....

Then the two met and embraced each other happily.

Lin Qiushi didn't ask Ruan Nanzhu why he only appeared now, in fact as long as Ruan Nanzhu could come out, Lin Qiushi wouldn't blame him.

But Ruan Nan Candle, immersed in happiness, soon discovered something bad, since he came out of the door, the twelfth door of the other people passing through the door, was actually sealed, there was a seal on it, as if telling the people outside that it was empty inside.

With Lin Qiushi's intelligence, it wasn't hard to guess Ruan Nan Candle's inhuman identity when he saw such a scene and then connected it to other oddities. After realizing this, Ruan Nam Candle panicked a bit because he wasn't sure if Lin Qiushi would mind this, and in the end, the matter of a lover not being a human being being a door god didn't seem very pleasant.

So when Ruan Nan Candle took Lin Qiushi's phone, which was swiping the forum, out of Lin Qiushi's hands, he carefully observed Lin Qiushi's expression, and after finding that there was no change in his lover's demeanor and he seemed to be completely unaware of it, Ruan Nan Candle was relieved.

Of course, it was only after that that Ruan Nan Candle realized that Lin Qiushi wasn't unaware, he was pretending not to know, and he didn't care what Ruan Nan Candle really was.

"How exactly did you make friends with Bai Ming at that time." Lin Qiushi sat on the sofa, watching TV with the remote control and casually chatting with Ruan Nan Candle.

"He happened to have a clue about the Advanced Door in his hand, and I needed to bring someone through the door, so I joined him." Ruan Nam Candle replied.

Lin Qiushi turned his head to look at Ruan Nam Candle and said, "Then what is he doing coming to chat with me every day now?"

"Hey, can you guys stop pretending like I'm not here to talk, please?" Bai Ming ate the melon seeds that Ruan Nan Candle had just fried and said angrily, "Flirting for a change won't work ah, and also, I just can't get over you Lin Qiushi at first sight, can I?"

"No." Ruan Nan Candle, "Take your claws off of him."

Bai Ming: "Hmph, petty."

Lin Qiushi seemed to be smiling and didn't say anything.

Bai Ming stood up to take his leave, saying that the one in his family had texted him and asked him to have dinner with him.

"He still has time to have dinner with you?" Lin Qiushi casually came up with, "Isn't he busy with his new movie."

"Right." Bai Ming sighed, "But I just love him for making movies, have you guys seen his movie, The Way of Kings? Truth be told, that time on the set, we..."

"Shut up you." Lin Qiushi and Ruan Nanzhu spoke in unison, and they flew to stop Bai Ming's attempt to tell yellow jokes, after all, they didn't want to watch a movie with some bad images floating around in their heads.

"Got to." Bai Ming spread his hands, "You two are becoming more and more alike."

"Is it bad to be like?" Lin Qiushi asked.

"Would you like to fall in love with someone with a similar personality?" Bai Ming said.

"Like ah." Lin Qiushi laughed, but his tone was serious , "I have such a good personality, why wouldn't I like it?"

Bai Ming: "..." he was the one who discovered that these two people were deliberately stuffing him with dog food, so he cleanly turned around and walked away, cursing the two dog men with his mouth.

Lin Qiushi and Ruan Nanzhu laughed, and then they looked at each other, both seeing some deep meaning in each other's eyes, but within the deep meaning, there was still love that could not be concealed.

Why think about some things so clearly, Lin Qiushi thought, as long as he stayed by his side it would be enough.
