Kaleidoscope of Death

Chapter 147 - Foreign Affairs (VIII) Tan Zao Zao

Jujube Tan has been in many films and has played countless roles. There are dancers, swordsmen, loving mothers, and young girls who fall in love with each other.

Each role is different, as is each person's life.

When Zao Zao Tan first entered the entertainment industry, she had an accident when she fell from a horse during a horse race. She was badly injured and almost lost her life. When her friends came to visit her in the hospital, they scolded her, saying that she didn't need a body double for such a dangerous performance.

She laughed and replied, "My life is not worth that much." At that time, Zao Zao Tan was still young and had no fear of death, and she thought she would stay that way until one day, she participated in a talk show. When Zao Zao Tan came out of her dressing room, she found that the corridor leading to the stage had been transformed into twelve metal doors, all of which were identical, emitting a cold air of indifference.

When she saw this, the smile on Zao Zao Tan's face froze, and her first reaction was to ask if this was a prank prepared by the production team.

After the door was pulled open, she appeared in an unfamiliar place, surrounded by a desolate graveyard, with a tall, eerie castle standing in front of her.

As she slowly followed the road, in the open space in front of the castle, she saw several people standing together, discussing something in a detailed voice, these people had unfamiliar faces, and upon seeing her, they only cast a glance for a moment before withdrawing their eyes.

"Excuse me, where is this place?" Tan date asked.

No one answered her question.

"Is this a show?" A heavy sense of uncertainty came over Tan Zao Zao's heart, she cautiously inquired, but she saw someone in the crowd with a mocking expression, that person said, "Doing a show? Have you ever seen a show this realistic?"

Tan Zao Zao was mute.

Although she held a glimmer of hope that this was just a realistic prank show, that hope was ruthlessly dashed when she saw the first dead person. The man was extremely dead, with wounds all over his body and blood being sucked out of him, he was simply too dead to die.

Zaizao Tan looked at the corpse and stayed there on the spot, she realized clearly for the first time that this wasn't a prank or a game where it was really going to die.

The first door of the Tanzanian date was not too difficult, and she got lucky and survived it. When she reentered the world, her entire body nearly collapsed, startling the assistant next to her.

"Are you okay, Jujube?" The assistant asked worriedly.

"Where were you at the time?!" Tan Zao Zao raged, "Why didn't you help me?"

The assistant looked at her blankly, "What... where? You've been sitting here, haven't you?"

As she froze, she said, "I've been sitting here?"

"Yeah." The assistant replied, "You've been sitting here staring..."

Tan Zao Zao was dumbstruck for a moment, vaguely understanding something, but before she could think about it, the assistant urged her onto the stage and began the interview.

The host of the show was a bit strange, and was about to ask a question, but then heard a frightened call from the stage. Before the host could remember to react, there was a sound of shattering glass above his head, and he raised his head to see a black shadow bearing down on him.

Tan Zao Zao was sitting right next to the host, watching as the huge chandelier above her head came crashing down heavily and crashed in front of her eyes.

The host, who was laughing with her just now, turned into a disheveled corpse, and Tan Zao Zao stood there in a trance.

It was a miracle that Zaizao Tan survived the accident, God knows she was sitting right next to the host, the heavy lamp almost grazed her skin and fell without hurting her in the slightest.

Because of this incident, Tan Zao Zao was severely irritated and was forced to take some time off.

And in the meantime, she finally understood what that door was too.

It was torture, and new life.

Without the door, she would have died long ago, but with the door, she wouldn't have been able to live.

Through her friends, Jujube Tan met Ruan Nam Candle and learned that there was such a group of people who were chosen by the door.

"Do you simply want to pass through the door or do you want to practice with the door?" Ruan Nan Candle asked Tan Zao Zao.

Tan Zao Zao said, "What's the difference...?"

Ruan Nan Candle said: "The difference is one you don't need to think about anything, just follow me, and the other, you have to rely on yourself."

Tan Zao Zao said decisively: "I choose the first one."

"But Obsidian doesn't answer the door after the fifth door." Ruan Nan Candle said, "If you pick the first one maybe start living easily, there will be no guarantee after that."

Tan Zao Zao's smile was barely there, "But I'm really scared."

Ruan Nan Candle's silence was a response to Tan Zaizao's request.

Zaizao Tan was just an ordinary girl, afraid of the dark, afraid of ghosts, to say that in Obsidian, she was the one who was most similar to Cheng Qianli. But this resemblance also meant that neither of them were suitable for the door.

Tan Jujube made her choice, she knew what she would end up with, and had doubts in the process, but in the end, she didn't change.

After the five doors, Obsidian stopped taking jobs, and the journey for Jujube Tan came to an end.

"Jujube, why don't I take you in." Lin Qiushi was a good man, his eyes were worried about Tan Jujube, but Tan Jujube smiled and refused him.

In her heart, she had once felt a bit of jealousy towards Lin Qiushi, jealous of Ruan Nanzhu's preferential treatment of him. But when the jealousy faded, Tan Zui Zao found herself understanding Ruan Nan Candle very well, Lin Qiushi was so beautiful, he was smart, brave and kind, he was simply like a shining gem, anyone would be attracted by those qualities in him. Not just Ruan Nan Candle, even including herself.

If she were Ruan Nan Candle, she would probably make the same choice as well.

Who wouldn't want a strong and brave partner, Tan Zao Zao thought forlornly.

She finally chose another organization that promised to bring her out of the sixth door, but failed.

The only thing that went beyond her plan was her death on her favorite stage.

Seeking mercy, Zaizao Tan wants to die peacefully, but she finds herself unable to do so. In the horrific world of the door within, she is pulled into endless darkness by a pair of hands. When she comes out of the door, there is a gorgeous stage with blinding lights and the click of a camera in her ear.

When she realized that death was imminent, ZaoZao Tan couldn't help but scream miserably - she regretted it, she didn't want to die, she still had a lot of things she wanted to do.

She was unwilling....

But it was too late.

The final path had already been decided at the time of the initial choice.

There was that familiar sound of shattering glass again overhead, and Zaizou Tan looked up to see the dazzling lights and the countless pieces of broken glass that were falling towards her. The chandelier was like a crown, smashing heavily into her body and shattering her.

Before the darkness descended, Tan Zao Zao heard the frightened calls of the people below the stage, she even saw one or two panicked faces, Tan Zao Zao was lying on the ground, but a faint smile appeared on her face, she felt the darkness invade her vision, the eternal tranquility was actually somewhat sweet.

She fell into a long sleep that would never be disturbed.
