Kaleidoscope of Death

It stands to reason that Ruan Nanzhu has always been sensitive to the surrounding environment and would not fail to notice Xu Jin's strangeness, but he was completely indifferent, and his expression remained unchanged throughout the whole process.After eating, Ruan Nanzhu waved to Lin Qiushi and called him to a remote corner.

"What's wrong?" Lin Qiushi asked him.

"There may be an accident tonight, please pay more attention." Ruan Nanzhu said, "If I sleep too hard, be sure to wake me up."

"What will happen?" Lin Qiushi said, "Is it related to Xu Jin?"

Ruan Nanzhu couldn't give a complete answer, he said: "It's just a guess."

"Yeah." Lin Qiushi nodded and did not continue to ask, "I will pay attention."

The atmosphere in the house was particularly eerie that night.Cheng Qianli huddled on the bed like a cowardly dog, and Ruan Nanzhu fell asleep early, so Lin Qiushi was the only one left suffering from insomnia.

He closed his eyes, but his head was awake, and the movement of every plant and tree around him was in his ears. He could hear the breeze, the grass and trees, and even the bright moonlight.This is a state that is difficult to describe in words, but through hearing, there are complete pictures in his head.

But this quiet state was soon broken by something else.

Lin Qiushi heard a rustling sound.

The sounds he heard at night always made people feel uneasy. He clearly heard someone get up from the bed and gently push the door out.Lin Qiushi's eyes opened a little, and he saw that the person going out was Xu Jin.

"Nan Zhu, Nan Zhu." Lin Qiushi pushed Ruan Nanzhu, trying to wake him up from his dream.However, Ruan Nanzhu remained motionless, as if he had passed out instead of falling asleep. He pushed several times, but Ruan Nanzhu didn't respond. Lin Qiushi had no choice but to try to call Cheng Qianli, but he didn't expect Cheng Qianli to be incapable of calling. Waking up.

If there is any further delay, Xu Jin may not know where he has gone. Lin Qiushi hesitated for a moment, then got up and decided to go out to have a look alone.

He quickly put on his shoes and followed the footsteps in front of him all the way forward.

Xu Jin walked through the long corridor and left the bamboo building where they lived. It seemed that they were heading deep into the dense forest.Lin Qiushi didn't dare to follow into the dense forest, but just watched from afar.

When Xu Jin was about to enter the jungle, she suddenly stopped. She looked up at the bright moon in the sky, and suddenly began to take off her clothes.

Lin Qiushi was stunned by this scene, he didn't expect Xu Jin to come out like this.

First the coat, then the T-shirt, and finally the underwear.Xu Jin took off herself completely. Under the moonlight, her white skin was like pure white ivory, faintly exuding a charming brilliance.Of course, Lin Qiushi didn't dare to read it all.Don't look at evil, don't listen to evil, he only looked halfway, then looked away - until another voice sounded.

It was a sound of tearing fabric, Lin Qiushi was slightly dazed, and then carefully moved his peripheral vision back.But it was just that glance from the corner of his eye that made his body tremble violently.

Xu Jin was still taking off, took off her clothes, and began to skin herself.

She grabbed her hair vigorously, and then began to tear off the skin one by one, from the head to the neck, to the body, the originally smooth skin turned into a bloody texture, Lin Qiushi could see the red muscles, and Bai Sensen's bones.

She peeled herself into a blood man, and seemed to notice Lin Qiushi's gaze, turned her head, and grinned.The huge mouth formed a completely impossible shape, and Lin Qiushi could even see the white teeth and blood-red tongue inside.

If it was before, Lin Qiushi would have been paralyzed by fright when he saw such a scene, but after a few times of experience, he is now strong enough to bear this kind of situation, but even so, his hands and feet are also because of the huge Slightly numb with fear.

"Sister, sister." Giggling laughter came from the mouth of the monster in front of her. She tilted her head and walked towards Lin Qiushi's hiding place, "Where are you, where are you?"

Lin Qiushi didn't dare to stay, turned around and ran away.

He ran all the way back to the bamboo building, slapping Ruan Nanzhu's body vigorously, but Ruan Nanzhu seemed to have fallen asleep, without any reaction at all.

At this time, the sound of sticky footsteps had already spread to the corridor.

"Dong dong dong dong." The monster knocked heavily on the door, she lay down on the ground, and looked in through the crack of the door, "Open the door, open the door."

Lin Qiushi has already begun to regret his damn curiosity.

Fortunately, the knock on the door rang for a while, and then stopped. Lin Qiushi was about to breathe a sigh of relief, but he heard a crashing sound from the window. He turned his head and saw that thing crawled in through the window .

"Damn it!" Finally couldn't help swearing, Lin Qiushi took a few steps back, trying to stay away from the window.

The bloody monster easily crawled in through the window. She lay on the ground and began to grope around.

Seeing her posture, Lin Qiushi suddenly remembered something, and went to bed quickly.

"Where are you, where are you..." Xu Jin's voice made people feel cold all over, the monster lay on the ground and groped around, she crawled to Lin Qiushi's bed, but she seemed unable to stand up, and could only use the Those blood-red hands kept touching under the bed.

Lin Qiushi felt relieved, knowing that his guess was correct.He and Cheng Qianli slept on the bed before, but there were bloody handprints everywhere under the bed. It should not be that the monster has softened its heart, but that she couldn't stand up at all.

The bed board was banged hard, the monster's voice was only a bed away from Lin Qiushi, she used her fingernails to crunch the fragile board, as if she was going to dig a hole out of the board in the next moment.

Lin Qiushi closed his eyes and pretended not to hear.

I don't know how long these sounds lasted. Anyway, when everything quieted down again, morning light had already appeared in the sky.

And Xu Jin, who went out, returned to the room again. Of course, at this time, she had already put on her white skin.

Ruan Nanzhu was awakened by the sunlight, stretched out his hand and rubbed his eyes, and greeted Lin Qiushi.

"Good morning." Lin Qiushi responded with a difficult tone.

"Okay." Ruan Nanzhu woke up from the hazy drowsiness, and noticed that Lin Qiushi's face was very strange, "What's wrong with you?" He quickly understood what happened, "What happened last night?"

Lin Qiushi glanced at Xu Jin who was still sleeping, and said in a low voice, "Go out and talk about it later."

Ruan Nanzhu nodded.

After getting up quietly, the two found a remote corner.Lin Qiushi told Ruan Nanzhu what he saw and heard last night.

Ruan Nanzhu frowned after hearing this: "Why didn't you wake me up?"

Lin Qiushi: "I called, but you can't wake up."

"Oh." Ruan Nanzhu said, "It seems that our guess is correct."

Xu Jin is the younger sister who was looking for her sister. Now she has got the bronze key, and according to the prompt, bring the younger sister to her older sister, and the door to go out should appear.

"So which one does she belong to? Does she know her identity?" Lin Qiushi was a little confused. He felt that if Xu Jin knew that he was not human, his acting skills would be too good, but if she didn't know, last night's What's the matter?

"Perhaps she will become a younger sister only under certain conditions." Ruan Nanzhu pondered, "For example, at night, can you recall what was special about last night?"

Lin Qiushi thought about it, and finally found something different: "...it seemed to be a full moon yesterday." The reason why he noticed this detail was because the moonlight was too bright last night.It was almost like daytime, and he didn't even need lighting equipment at all when walking outside, he could take in all the scenery at a glance.

"Yeah." Ruan Nanzhu nodded, "I see."

The two discussed some details before returning to the restaurant.

At this time, people have already got up from bed to eat breakfast one after another.After Lin Qiushi sat in the restaurant for a while, he saw Cheng Qianli and Xu Jin also coming.

Cheng Qianli ignored it, but Xu Jin looked like she was getting enough sleep. No one could imagine that she was the monster that crawled around the house all night last night.

"I found the bloody handprint again." Cheng Qianli drank the porridge and said in fear, "Did you see it too?"

"I see." Lin Qiushi responded

Cheng Qianli: "But I didn't hear anything. What is it? Could it crawl into our bed?" When he woke up, he saw blood-red handprints all over the floor of the room. It looked like something had crawled over it carefully, and it was so creepy that I didn't dare to think about what happened in the house after they slept last night.

"I don't know." Ruan Nanzhu said, "Why don't you keep watch tomorrow night?"

"No, no, no." Cheng Qianli hesitated.

Although Lin Qiushi knew what was going on, he couldn't tell. He glanced at Xu Jin and found that when Cheng Qianli said these things, there was nothing strange on Xu Jin's face. On the contrary, she seemed to be very scared, and her body began to tremble again .

"I'm going to the temple again today." Ruan Nanzhu said, "I hope there will be no accidents."

"Yes." Lin Qiushi nodded.

The tour guide appeared again and led everyone to the destination.

This is the third time I have come here, and the initial fear and curiosity are gone, but a trace of irritability is on everyone's face. Everyone wants to leave here earlier

This time, the only difference was that the music stopped. Others didn't know why, but Lin Qiushi and the others knew it very well, because the bone flute that could play music was in their backpacks.

"Shall we take Xu Jin to the roof for a try?" Lin Qiushi was a little hesitant when he made this proposal.

"I think it's okay." Ruan Nanzhu said.

So they began to discuss going up to the roof again. Xu Jin listened quietly, but when she heard that all four of them planned to go up, she showed strong resistance.

"I don't want to go, I'm afraid." Xu Jin shook her head, tears were about to come down, "I really don't want to go, don't let me go..."

"Why don't you want to go?" Facing Xu Jin's strong resistance, Ruan Nanzhu didn't show a tough attitude, on the contrary, his tone was even gentle.

"I'm afraid." Xu Jin replied, "I think if I go up... I will die."

Lin Qiushi was about to say something, but Ruan Nanzhu nodded his head: "If that's the case, then don't go up."

Xu Jin breathed a sigh of relief.

Lin Qiushi didn't expect Ruan Nanzhu to compromise so easily, he was a little puzzled, and found a chance to ask.

"According to the normal situation, she should really want to go up. Since she doesn't want to go up, there must be some other reason." Ruan Nanzhu said.

"Other reasons?" Lin Qiushi couldn't figure it out.

Ruan Nanzhu said: "I haven't thought of it yet."

They sat in the temple and began to think about what went wrong, while Cheng Qianli took Xu Jin to wander around the temple.

After strolling around for a while, Cheng Qianli suddenly ran over mysteriously, saying that he had discovered something.

"What's the matter?" Ruan Nanzhu glanced at him.

Cheng Qianli said: "Didn't we see statues locked in many small rooms before? The door of one small room was open..."

Ruan Nanzhu: "Did you go in and see?"

Cheng Qianli smiled embarrassedly: "I didn't dare."

Ruan Nanzhu: "Then lock the door."

Cheng Qianli: "Aren't we going in to take a look?" He lowered his voice, not wanting Xu Jin to hear the conversation between himself and Ruan Nanzhu, "I noticed the backs of the statues in those small rooms, and there seem to be murals."

Murals seem to be an important means for this religion to record events. If other murals can be found, it may be possible to find out why Xu Jin is unwilling to go upstairs.

Lin Qiushi and Ruan Nanzhu looked at each other, stood up and patted their buttocks: "Go and have a look."

Ruan Nanzhu nodded.

So several people walked towards the place Cheng Qianli said.

The small room was small and could only accommodate five or six people. It was too crowded to go in together, so Cheng Qianli and Xu Jin were outside, and Ruan Nanzhu and Lin Qiushi went in.In the middle of the room is a statue covered with a red cloth, which should be something like a Buddha statue from the outline.After Ruan Nanzhu entered the room, he bypassed the statue and walked to the back wall.

Sure enough, there is a mural, but the mural is painted like a ghostly talisman, which is completely incomprehensible.Lin Qiushi looked confused, and even Ruan Nanzhu frowned.

Lin Qiushi did not dare to disturb him, so he observed the room.

The room is small, and there is nothing to see. The only thing that attracts the eye is the statue covered with red envelopes. This statue is about the size of a person and stands straight in the center of the room.

Lin Qiushi was about to look away, but was stunned for a moment. At first he thought he had misread, so he rubbed his eyes vigorously, but after rubbing, he found that he was not mistaken—the statue in front of him, although very large Subtle, but definitely moving.

"Nan Zhu." Lin Qiushi pulled Ruan Nanzhu's hand calmly, "Let's go out."

Ruan Nanzhu's attention was still on the mural, he said: "I want to see it again."

Lin Qiushi had an idea: "I took a photo with my mobile phone, can you go back and take a look at it?" When he was speaking, he noticed that the red cloth began to tremble, as if something was about to emerge from it.

Ruan Nanzhu also noticed Lin Qiushi's strangeness. He scanned the room and immediately found something wrong, so he nodded and walked away.

Lin Qiushi breathed a sigh of relief.

As soon as the two of them left the room, the sculpture began to shake violently. Lin Qiushi pulled the door behind him, and the red cloth just fell off.

Under the red cloth, it turned out to be the skinned monster they had seen in the hall before. The monster held a sharp long knife in its hand, and its originally stiff body began to become flexible.

"Damn it, it's a good thing you came out quickly." Lin Qiushi was frightened into a cold sweat.

"Wait..." Cheng Qianli seemed to have discovered something, and his tone became full of fear, "Why are all the locks in the small room in the corridor unlocked?"

Lin Qiushi was taken aback for a moment, then looked up and found that the locks in the entire corridor had been dropped, and it seemed that someone had opened them on purpose.He hurried forward to pick up a lock, twisted it twice, his face darkened: "It was destroyed violently."

And the sound of that kind of curtain falling to the ground became more and more. Lin Qiushi looked around and found that three or four curtains fell to the ground where they were, revealing the bloody monster behind. Of course, the most eye-catching , or those long knives in the hands of the monsters.

If it was to chop people up, it would be like piercing candied haws, stabbing two or three to death with one knife.

The four of them turned around and ran wildly, wanting to leave here. On the way, they met other people in the team and greeted them. Soon everyone gathered in the main hall. Someone broke down and narrated the whole thing, pointing to the location of the corridor. trembling.

"Are we still waiting to die inside?" Someone wanted to get out.

"But you forgot what happened to the person who ran out before?" Someone retorted.

"But it's not raining now..." someone else spoke.

Noisy discussions filled the entire hall.

But soon, they didn't have extra time to think about this, because those monsters slowly appeared in front of everyone dragging their long knives, Ruan Nanzhu saw that the situation was wrong, and said: "Go, get out of the temple!"

Lin Qiushi followed behind him, and the four hurried out of the temple.

There were also some people around them who dug out after them one after another, but there were still some people who probably thought of the blond young man who was delayed by the heavy rain and were still hesitating in the temple.

After hesitating for a moment, someone in the temple was caught by those monsters.

And at this moment, the people outside finally understood what the sharp knife in the monster's hand was for - it turned out to be a good tool for skinning.

The sharp knife pierced through the head, and once it was picked and broken, the skin opened. With a miserable cry, the tender skin of the human body was separated from the two sides, revealing the red texture inside.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! gas.

Because of this terrible scene, there was only dead silence among the people.

"Skin...give me the skin...give me...sister..." A girl's voice came from the roof, and in the darkness invisible to everyone, a pair of blood-red hands appeared, holding the skin that had just been peeled off. The skin under it smelled carefully, and then it seemed to have found something and threw it on the ground heavily, "It's not mine, it's not mine—" The voice became more and more sharp, and it hurt people's ears .

After the skins of the remaining two people in the temple were peeled off, their bodies were cut into pieces. At this moment, Lin Qiushi finally understood where the pieces of meat on the wooden platform came from.

The monsters killed two people, and then turned their attention to them outside the door.

Everyone was suffocated when they were stared at by those dark eyes, and Lin Qiushi even smelled a smell of urine—someone was scared to pee.

"Crack, creak..." The sound of the sharp blade dragging on the ground was so ear-piercing that finally, someone couldn't bear the terrifying atmosphere, screamed and ran towards the jungle.

Although the rest of the people didn't move, the fear in their eyes was beyond words.

Cheng Qianli asked tremblingly, are they coming to kill us too?

Ruan Nanzhu said: "Calm down, they can't kill everyone."

But what they didn't expect was that those monsters finally stopped at the edge of the temple. They seemed to be stopped by something and began to wander around the door.

Everyone heaved a sigh of relief seeing this scene.

"It seems that they can't leave the temple." Lin Qiushi said, "Unless it's... when it's raining."

"Hmm." Ruan Nanzhu's brows did not loosen, he glanced at Xu Jin, "We seem to have missed something important."

"Important things?" Lin Qiushi repeated, "Important things..." A thought rushed into his mind, and he asked in astonishment, "Did we forget to take that drum away?"

If it is said that the elder sister is in the temple, then her peeled skin is made into a drum, and her drum is in the hands of her younger sister, so when she is looking for her younger sister, is she also looking for her own skin?

"Tsk, I forgot the drum." Ruan Nanzhu said, "I'm really not in good shape." He actually forgot such an important thing, or when they left there, no one thought of taking that face Drum take away.

"No, I don't blame you." Lin Qiushi said, "After all, no one knows what triggers the death condition. What if you move the drum and die instead."

Ruan Nanzhu shook his head and said nothing.

Witnessing the scene of the people around them being skinned alive, no one wanted to enter the temple again, and no one knew whether the monster was still there.

Everyone sat down in front of the temple, silently waiting for the tour guide to arrive.

The person who ran into the jungle before came back again, and when he came back, he was in a trance, and there was even one who kept mumbling to himself, as if he had gone crazy.

This accident hit everyone very hard.

Lin Qiushi's mental state is not bad, and he occasionally chats with Cheng Qianli to relieve the tense atmosphere.Xu Jin didn't speak all the time, she just looked in front of her with a dull expression, she couldn't even hear Cheng Qianli calling her.

If it was before, Lin Qiushi probably thought she was afraid, but after what happened last night, he had other thoughts.

Is Xu Jin really scared?Was she afraid of ghosts, or something else?

Of course, these things are currently unanswered.

The tour guide still came on time. Seeing that there were two people missing in the crowd, he didn't express any opinion, and led everyone back with a smile.

Almost no one ate this dinner, and most of them went to rest early.

Li Dongyuan didn't show much influence, he ate his food quietly, and asked Ruan Nanzhu out to chat for a while.

No one knew what the two of them were talking about, but when they came back, the gloom on their faces was much less.

"Have a good rest." Ruan Nanzhu said before going to bed, "It's best not to wake up tonight."

Lin Qiushi nodded.

"Good night." Cheng Qianli yawned and closed his eyes.

"Good night." Lin Qiushi turned off the lights and plunged the room into darkness.
