Kaleidoscope of Death

The mild hot water washed away the sweat and heat on his body. After taking a shower, Lin Qiushi sat in front of the computer, typed four words on the keyboard: Phil Xia Bird.

Phil Xia Bird is the four words written on the note he picked up in the door. Lin Qiushi couldn't figure out what it meant, so he wanted to find the answer on the Internet.

A few tenths of a second later, what Lin Qiushi wanted appeared on the webpage. He clicked on the first link and found that it was a forum where people were discussing Grimm's fairy tales, and one of the fairy tales was named Shire Bird.

The Fiersha bird, also known as the Feiqier bird because of the different translations, tells the story of three sisters and a wizard disguised as a beggar.

The general content of the story is that the wizard disguised himself as a beggar and went to catch the bride everywhere. After he caught the bride, he would give her a key and an egg, and at the same time told her that he would go out for a few days and told her not to enter a certain house. .But the girl, out of curiosity, used the key to open the forbidden door after the wizard left. When she saw a pile of corpses inside the door, the egg in her hand fell to the ground.

The egg fell to the ground and was stained with red blood. The girl couldn't wipe off the blood on the egg no matter what.When the wizard came back, he saw the red mark on the egg, dragged the girl into the room, and chopped her into several pieces with a knife.Of the three sisters in the story, only the youngest sister survived. In the end, she used her wisdom to save her sister and kill the wizard.

It is said that fairy tales are for children, but Lin Qiushi felt creepy when he read this story.Especially the scene where the little sister pieced the bodies of her sisters together and happily watched their resurrection, always felt particularly intrusive.

This story is somewhat similar to Bluebeard, but it always feels bloodier than that.

But what does the Philshire bird on the note mean?Lin Qiushi fell into deep thought. He wanted to connect these words with his own experience, but felt that it was a bit far-fetched.

But since it is not a previous experience, is it a future prophecy?Lin Qiushi thought of those twelve dark doors, and that bad feeling became more and more intense.

Unable to get an answer, he lay back on the bed and began to stare at the ceiling in a daze.

Originally, he planned to quit his job and return to his hometown recently, but now something happened suddenly, and all his plans were disrupted.

What happened inside the door was completely beyond his comprehension and became unexplainable with common sense.For a while, he couldn't find a clue, he only felt that his thinking was a little confused.

Just thinking about it like this, Lin Qiushi slowly fell into a light sleep.His sleep quality was average, and he would wake up immediately if there was any movement in the room. Lin Qiushi was in a daze, and heard a slight noise.He thought that the sound was made by Lizi, so he called out vaguely: "Lizi..."

no respond.

The voice disappeared, but a faint fragrance appeared in Lin Qiushi's nose. This fragrance was a bit special, like the breath of ice and snow. At the same time, with his eyes closed, he felt a strange sight.

This is an indescribable feeling. Although Lin Qiushi closed his eyes, he could clearly feel that someone was looking at him. His gaze was so hot that goose bumps slowly appeared on his back when he was about to fall asleep. .

... There was someone in his room, Lin Qiushi's consciousness gradually became clear, and he was clearly aware of this.

"Why is it so easy to wake up?" A strange male voice suddenly sounded, the voice was close at hand, and the scorching breath seemed to hit Lin Qiushi's ear.

Being found pretending to be asleep, Lin Qiushi had no choice but to open his eyes.

The lights in the room were not turned on, so he could barely see the face of the person coming by the moonlight.This is an extremely beautiful man, although he is beautiful, but there is no trace of femininity, he tilted his head slightly at this time, and looked at Lin Qiushi with a smile, his black eyes were hidden in the darkness, making it impossible for Lin Qiushi to judge correctly. his mood at the moment.

"Are you awake?" The man stroked Lin Qiushi's lips gently with his fingers. His fingers were very cold, not as warm as a human being should be, but they were delicate enough, like jade.

Lin Qiushi reflexively wanted to dodge, but the man grabbed his wrist directly. The man's strength was so great that his hands were cast into shackles like iron. Even if Lin Qiushi wanted to struggle, he would feel a dull pain in his wrist—as if as long as the man slightly If he tried hard, his hand would break off directly.

"Who are you?" Lin Qiushi said, "The one who broke the law by breaking into a private house—"

The man was amused by Lin Qiushi. He approached slowly, carefully observed Lin Qiushi's appearance, and then whispered softly: "It's as cute as I imagined."

Lin Qiushi was terrified by these words.

Just when he thought that the man would do something more excessive, the man let go of his hand directly, and then turned on the light on the bedside.

The light enveloped the whole room again, and dispelled the unknown and fear brought by the darkness. Lin Qiushi could finally see the person in front of him clearly.

The man's appearance was even better than he imagined, but it was also unfamiliar. Their eyes met, probably seeing the vigilance and slight panic in Lin Qiushi's eyes. The man smiled again, and he stretched out his hand to Lin Qiushi, The tone is gentle: "Welcome to the world of doors."

Lin Qiushi didn't answer, he looked suspicious: "Who are you? Why did you appear in my house?"

The man didn't mind Lin Qiushi's cold attitude, he said: "Hello, Lin Qiushi, my name is Ruan Nanzhu, I know you have a lot of questions, but now I can answer them one by one with you."

Lin Qiushi pursed his lips, with a stubborn expression on his face.

Ruan Nanzhu raised his hand and looked at his watch: "You have 10 minutes to get dressed, and then I will take you to a place."

As soon as Lin Qiushi opened his mouth, he was interrupted by Ruan Nanzhu. This beautiful, non-threatening man exudes a strong sense of oppression. He smiled, making people's nerves tense: "You didn't power to refuse."

Lin Qiushi showed helplessness.He had tried Ruan Nanzhu's strength just now, and he knew that if he confronted head-on, he really had no chance of winning.

The atmosphere became a bit frozen. Just when Lin Qiushi was thinking about whether to obey the man's orders, the chestnut who was lying on his stomach in the living room suddenly appeared in the bedroom, meowing softly, and began to move his head. Rubbing Ruan Nanzhu's calf.

Ruan Nanzhu's strong sense of oppression disappeared in an instant. He bent down, picked up the chestnut, and scratched its chin deftly: "You still have a cat?"

Lin Qiushi said: "Well...you..." He still wanted to ask Ruan Nanzhu's identity, but when the words came to his lips, he felt that Ruan Nanzhu would not answer his question as he wished.But he thought of something, and asked hesitantly, "What's your relationship with Ruan Baijie?" The surname Ruan is rare, and the man even said something, welcome him to the world of doors, it must be with those twelve doors About the iron gate.

Ruan Nanzhu didn't answer, "You still have 7 minutes."

Lin Qiushi showed helplessness, thinking that although this man is good-looking, his temper is really harder than a rock.So he thought he was unlucky and put on his clothes.Fortunately, it is summer now, and it only takes a few minutes to get dressed.

Seven minutes later, the two appeared downstairs on time.

When Lin Qiushi left his home, he looked at his door lock very puzzled, and saw that it was intact and there was no trace of damage.

Ruan Nanzhu seemed to have guessed what he was thinking, and pointed casually: "I came in through the window."

Lin Qiushi: "...haha, you really know how to joke." His family lived on the sixteenth floor, what kind of shelter outside, did Ruan Nanzhu fly in through the window?

Seeing that he didn't believe it, Ruan Nanzhu turned around and left without explaining.

Lin Qiushi muttered behind him, saying that breaking into a private house is illegal.

Ruan Nanzhu: "Can you report to the police?"

Lin Qiushi: "..."

The two went downstairs to the garage. Unexpectedly, there were other people sitting in the car in the garage. That person seemed to be about to fall asleep in the driver's seat.

Ruan Nanzhu reached out and patted the glass: "Cheng Qianli."

The young man named Cheng Qianli woke up, rubbed his eyes and said, "Brother Ruan, are you done so soon?"

Ruan Nanzhu: "Let's go."

Cheng Qianli hummed, then turned to look at Lin Qiushi, "It's really cute."

Lin Qiushi: "..." He was really not happy at all when he was called cute by a teenage boy.To be honest, if Ruan Nanzhu hadn't mentioned the matter before, he would have thought it was a group of traffickers.

When Cheng Qianli was sizing him up, Lin Qiushi was also sizing him up. The boy looked like he was only sixteen or seventeen years old, his voice was still changing, and there were traces of immaturity on his face.

After observing this situation, Lin Qiushi suddenly sat up straight in the back seat, and he thought of a key question...

Seeing his nervous expression, Ruan Nanzhu asked, "What?"

Lin Qiushi: "May I ask, how old is your friend?"

Ruan Nanzhu: "?"

Cheng Qianli, who was sitting in front, said, "I'm sixteen." He originally thought that Lin Qiushi was going to lament his young age and was planning to show off, but Lin Qiushi beeped softly, "Sixteen...doesn't have a driver's license."

Cheng Qianli: "..." As expected, this is the man that Brother Ruan has his eyes on. This brain circuit is different from that of normal people.

Ruan Nanzhu also smiled, and he said: "I have seen so many people, and you are the first to ask this question."

Lin Qiushi: "So do you have a driver's license? I just saw one who died in a car accident today. Otherwise, I'll drive? My driving skills are quite good."

There was an unspeakable silence in the car.

Cheng Qianli sighed and said don't worry, I have been driving for three years, as long as I don't meet the traffic police...

As a result, as soon as they drove out of the gate of the community, the three of them saw a traffic policeman standing not far away, conducting random spot checks for drunk driving.

Cheng Qianli: "Fuck."

Lin Qiushi looked like I said it.

So Cheng Qian changed places with Ruan Nanzhu expressionlessly, watched his boss get into the cab, and sat next to Lin Qiushi himself, and then glared at Lin Qiushi.

Lin Qiushi's face was full of innocence, thinking that I was just talking casually, how could I have thought of such a cleverness.

The author has something to say: Ruan Nanzhu: My name is Ruan Nanzhu.

Lin Qiushi: Good name!

Ruan Nanzhu: ...Come and try it?

Lin Qiushi: slipped away.
