Kaleidoscope of Death

Although Ruan Nanzhu said so, Luo Qianshan really didn't dare to have such a vision.

After all, people who can walk through this door with a bit of leisure, no matter how harmless they appear to be, are definitely not kind, and this beautiful woman who calls herself Zhu Meng in front of her is even less likely to be a good person. object of provocation.

"Tell me, what do you want to talk to us about?" Ruan Nanzhu asked.

"It's about the key." Luo Qianshan said, "We found where the key is, but..." His tone became a little difficult, "But we can't get it."

Ruan Nanzhu: "What do you mean by no way?"

Luo Qianshan said directly: "The strength is not enough."

When Ruan Nanzhu heard this, his expression was half a smile: "Not strong enough? I think your brothers and sisters are quite strong."

Luo Qianshan didn't make excuses, but just spread out his hands in a helpless gesture.

"Continue." Ruan Nanzhu knew that Luo Qianshan still had something to say.

Luo Qianshan said: "So I want to make a deal with you, I will tell you the clues about the key..."

When he said this, he paused for a moment.

Ruan Nanzhu waited for his next words, there is no such thing as a free lunch in this world.

"But when you leave here, you have to call me and Qian Shui." Luo Qianshan stated his conditions.

"It's just like that?" Ruan Nanzhu's eyes showed some appreciative color, as if he was judging whether Luo Qianshan's words were true or false.

"It's just that." Luo Qianshan's tone was very firm.

Ruan Nanzhu nodded and said, "Let's talk."

He accepted the deal.

"The key is in the charred house." Luo Qianshan said, "But the conditions for obtaining the key are very special, you have to go in at night..."

Lin Qiushi asked back, "Have you been there?"

Luo Qianshan shook his head: "No, we only saw the key at the door, but never entered it."

"Then how are you sure the key is inside?" Although Luo Qianshan was very sincere, Lin Qiushi always felt that there was something wrong with him. The role of the key in the door is too important, and the person in front of him gave the location of the key so easily , Is it really as he said or is there another attempt?

"We saw it." Luo Qianshan said, "The door was open at that time..."

Ruan Nanzhu said: "The door is open, why can't you go in?"

Luo Qianshan had a slightly embarrassed expression, and he said, "Because the mother and child are inside."

silence.

Ruan Nanzhu said: "So you came to tell us and want us to go in?" He said, "Didn't you see our house number?"

Luo Qianshan frowned.

Ruan Nanzhu said: "Did you see the number above? Our house is the last one. Even if this floor is on fire, we will die last."

Luo Qianshan sighed: "I don't mean to ask you to die, if you want, we can cooperate."

Ruan Nanzhu: "How to cooperate?"

Luo Qianshan said: "We are responsible for leading the mother and daughter in that room to another place, and you are responsible for taking out the key."

Ruan Nanzhu raised his eyebrows: "Are you sure?"

Luo Qianshan said: "I'm sure."

"I don't believe it." Ruan Nanzhu said, "Unless you show your sincerity first, at least make a demonstration."

Luo Qianshan was silent for a moment: "This is too dangerous, we can't demonstrate it."

Ruan Nanzhu said: "Then I'm sorry."

Luo Qianshan and Ruan Nanzhu's eyes met, and they both saw the unchangeable stubbornness in each other's eyes. He sighed, but he didn't try to persuade him anymore. He stood up from his chair and walked to the door. Shi Shi looked back at Ruan Nanzhu, "I just want to tell you that if it really comes to the end, Qian Shui and I must be the ones who survive."

Ruan Nanzhu looked at him coldly and said nothing.

"Goodbye." Luo Qianshan smiled and pushed the door out.

Ruan Nanzhu looked at his back and frowned.

Lin Qiushi said: "Where did he get his confidence?" He also used a bronze mirror to shine on Luo Qianshan's feet when he was talking to Ruan Nanzhu just now, and he was sure that Luo Qianshan was a living person.

Ruan Nanzhu shook his head, he said in a deep voice: "Since Luo Qianshan can say that, he must have his own trump card."

Lin Qiushi didn't speak.

Ruan Nanzhu murmured, "Let's go to that room to see if there is a chance at night."

Lin Qiushi nodded. Cheng Yixie didn't speak when they were communicating, until now, he suddenly opened his mouth softly: "Luo Qianshan's body also has that burnt smell."

"What?" Lin Qiushi was taken aback.

"He also has it, although it's very faint." Cheng Yixie said, "But I did smell it."

As soon as these words came out, both Ruan Nanzhu and Lin Qiushi fell silent.

Luo Qianshan also smelled of burning?Was he also related to those who were burned to death?But Luo Qianshan is indeed a person, how could there be such a smell on a person.

"Did you have it yesterday?" Ruan Nanzhu asked Cheng Yixie.

Cheng Yixie shook his head and said firmly, "No."

This thing is very strange.

Ruan Nanzhu's expression was uncertain, he said: "Maybe what Luo Qianshan said is true."

Lin Qiushi: "Huh?"

Ruan Nanzhu said: "He really has the trump card of living to the end."

It's just that they still don't know what Luo Qianshan's trump card is.

It was getting dark and another night was coming.

When returning to the room, Lin Qiushi noticed that Sister Xia was standing on the edge of the corridor, chanting to the wall, with a hideous expression on her face.

Although it was very quiet, Lin Qiushi still heard what she was saying, and she kept repeating a sentence: Don't kill me, don't kill me, don't kill me, don't kill me——

Lin Qiushi thought of Xiao Mian who died in sister Xia's hands in an accident in the morning.According to the rules inside the door, sister Xia probably won't survive tonight.Lin Qiushi thought so, but didn't look at Sister Xia, turned around and entered their own room.

The darker the sky, the quieter the city as a whole.The darkness is like a hood, covering everyone.

At about nine o'clock, Lin Qiushi heard the sound of glass breaking in the corridor.He looked at Ruan Nanzhu and Cheng Yixie, and found that neither of them seemed to hear.

Lin Qiushi hesitated for a moment, then said, "Did you hear any sound?"

Ruan Nanzhu shook his head: "What's the sound?"

Lin Qiushi: "The sound of the mirror breaking..." He said, "Shall I go and see it?"

Ruan Nanzhu said: "Look."

So Lin Qiushi stood up, walked to the cat's eye, and glanced outside.

Because of the angle, he could only see sister Xia.

Sister Xia was still standing where she was just now, but she didn't say any more thoughts. Her eyes were staring straight ahead, and the eyeballs seemed to be bulging out of their sockets. Lin Qiushi couldn't know what Sister Xia was looking at. He saw something, but he saw a pair of hands—a pair of hands that slowly protruded from the mirror on the ceiling.

Those hands were still dripping with blood, so they reached behind Sister Xia, and hugged Sister Xia's head from behind.

Sister Xia trembled all over, as if she wanted to scream, but the cry was stuck in her throat. She wanted to turn around to see what was holding her head, but when her body turned back , but the head still maintains a forward posture.

With a "click", Lin Qiushi heard a crisp sound, which was the sound of bones breaking.

The slender arm protruding from the ceiling hugged Sister Xia's head, and then twisted it counterclockwise vigorously, and just like this, Sister Xia's head was forcibly twisted off her body.

All this happened in silence, Lin Qiushi held his breath.

The hands were slowly retracted, and in a trance, Lin Qiushi seemed to hear a girl's charming smile.

Sister Xia died just like that, her body fell straight on the floor, blood poured out and wet the carpet.

At this moment, Lin Qiushi's body suddenly stopped, and he felt a cold gaze projected from the top of his head.Lin Qiushi raised his head slowly, and at some point, a person holding Sister Xia's head appeared in the mirror above his head. Judging from her appearance, she was Xiao Mian who died during the day...

Xiao Mian is in the mirror, Lin Qiushi is outside the mirror.

The two of them stared at each other in silence through a thin pane of glass.

Lin Qiushi saw a strong malice in Xiaomian's eyes, she let go of her hand slowly, and Sister Xia's head fell out of the mirror and hit Lin Qiushi directly.

Then, her figure also disappeared in the mirror.

There was a "plop", the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground.

Ruan Nanzhu and the others looked at Lin Qiushi, and saw Lin Qiushi covered in blood, and the head of the dead man beside him.

Lin Qiushi turned to look at Ruan Nanzhu with a blank face: "What should I do?"

Ruan Nanzhu walked up to Lin Qiushi and saw the bloody head. He tilted his head and thought for a while: "Throw it out?"

Lin Qiushi: "I... don't want to hold it with my hands."

Ruan Nanzhu: "Oh, then use your feet." He opened the door a crack as he spoke, and kicked the head of the person on the ground out.The whole movement is smooth and flowing, as if he has been very skilled.

Lin Qiushi coughed twice: "She won't come to us for revenge?"

"Why do you seek revenge from us?" Ruan Nanzhu said indifferently, "It's not that we killed her, and if you dare to do such a thing, you are afraid of death?" He said that Sister Xia deliberately brought a few newcomers in, and then took The newcomer's life to try the death condition.

Lin Qiushi let out a breath, and he looked at the mirror above his head: "Those things seem to be able to travel around through the mirror..."

Ruan Nanzhu also looked at the glasses, but didn't say anything.

Sister Xia died as they expected, and she died very badly.Probably because he was mentally prepared, Lin Qiushi didn't find it too exciting...if Xiao Mian hadn't thrown his head at him.

As they talked, the strong smell of burnt things began to reappear outside.Contrary to what they had guessed before, the scorched room continued to extend out today.

Lin Qiushi opened the door a gap, and saw the other end of the corridor was scorched black, and there were still flames flickering in the building during the period.

Behind the flames, the scorched mother and daughter were still standing, but this time the two of them stood a little closer.

At the same time, there were people in other rooms who opened the door. Lin Qiushi saw Luo Qianshan and Luo Qianshui also coming out of the room.

"Time is running out." Luo Qianshan said suddenly.

After he finished speaking, Lin Qiushi discovered that the room in front of him began to turn black rapidly—more than one room was burned tonight.

"Cough, cough, cough." Cheng Yixie coughed choked again.

"I hope you can think about it carefully." Luo Qianshan's voice was flat.

Ruan Nanzhu said, "We've thought about it." He and Luo Qianshan looked at the same place—it was the mother and daughter standing quietly across the corridor, "Show your sincerity, let's take risks."

Luo Qianshan wanted to say something, but Luo Qianshui stopped him with his hand.

Lin Qiushi originally thought that according to Luo Qianshui's personality, he would say something radical, but she nodded coldly, and she said, "Okay, let me show you our sincerity."

She walked to the edge of a mirror in the hallway, and held out her hand.

A miraculous scene appeared, Luo Qianshui's hand was stretched into the mirror in front of her without hindrance—she could travel between the world of the mirror and the outside world!

Lin Qiushi showed a look of astonishment, and even Ruan Nanzhu was slightly surprised.

But Luo Qianshui quickly withdrew her hand, she said: "But I can't stay inside for too long." She looked at the mother and daughter who were burned to death at the end of the corridor, and said, "That is their world, If I stay in there for too long, I won't be able to get out."

Ruan Nanzhu tilted his head: "Since you can lead them away alone, why doesn't your brother go to get the key?"

"I need his assistance to get in and out of the mirror, and he doesn't have time to get the keys." Luo Qianshui seemed a little bored and explained, "Are you guys going to do it or not?"

Ruan Nanzhu: "Let's think about it again." He didn't agree.

Luo Qianshui sneered, pulled Luo Qianshan into the room again.

Ruan Nanzhu and Lin Qiushi also returned to the house.

Ruan Nanzhu asked him, "What do you think?"

Lin Qiushi thought for a while: "I think it is acceptable." If the key is really in that room, it is worth taking these risks.

"I also think it's feasible." Cheng Yixie obviously hated this world very much, and his keen sense of smell was an indescribable torture in the apartment that was smoky everywhere.

Ruan Nanzhu was thinking about something.

"Go to bed first." But at the end, Ruan Nanzhu didn't say anything, just said, "It's getting late."

Lin Qiushi didn't force it either, and went to bed after washing.

Just before going to bed, Lin Qiushi touched his pocket. There was that beautiful bronze mirror in his pocket.He thought of something, his eyes sank slightly, but he quickly closed them again and fell into a dreamland.

The next morning, Lin Qiushi and Luo Qianshan met in the restaurant.

At breakfast time every day, when the team is probably the most complete, Lin Qiushi sat in a remote corner and began to use the bronze mirror to confirm the identities of the people around him.

Ruan Nanzhu sat next to him, gnawed a hard-boiled egg in his mouth, and said vaguely: "How is it?"

Lin Qiushi: "...not so good." There were [-] people in the team, and the ones who were confirmed dead were Xiaoyan who was burned to death by the fire, Wen Jing who died by smashing a mirror, and Xiao Mian who was killed by sister Xia, who was revenged by Xiao Mian. Miss Xia.There should be thirteen living people left.

But Lin Qiushi looked at the people around him with a mirror, only to find that the number of living people was not as many as he had imagined.

Of the thirteen, at least four had their feet turned in the other direction—heels forward, toes backwards.Their walking behavior is the same as that of ordinary people, but it is precisely because of their appearance that it is no different from ordinary people, but it makes people feel creepy.

Cheng Yixie frowned: "No wonder it's getting more and more stinky." These smells are really unpleasant.

They were talking, and Luo Qianshan and Luo Qianshui also happened to come in from outside.

Lin Qiushi's heart moved, and he used the bronze mirror in his hand to shine on the place where Zhao Luo Qianshui was, but the scene shown in the bronze mirror made him stunned.

Lin Qiushi even rubbed his eyes to make sure he wasn't mistaken.

There should have been two people in the mirror, but at this time only Luo Qianshan appeared. He turned his head and smiled gently at the air around him, still talking in a low voice.

Lin Qiushi: "..." Luo Qianshui cannot appear in the bronze mirror, what does this mean?She is not human?

Without speaking, Lin Qiushi reached out and handed the mirror to Ruan Nanzhu, then raised his chin at Ruan Nanzhu's position at Luo Qianshui's position, motioning him to look at the scene in the mirror.

Ruan Nanzhu took the bronze mirror and saw the empty scene around Luo Qianshan, he said something interesting in a low voice.

Cheng Yixie also saw Luo Qianshui's strangeness, he frowned slightly, and said, "Is she not human?"

Lin Qiushi felt that he could not speak well.

If Luo Qianshui is not human, then only she is special?Others turned their feet upside down, but she couldn't even see the shadow.

And what is her relationship with the human Luo Qianshan?Could it be that these two are the NPCs inside the door?Lin Qiushi thought about it, but felt something was wrong.

The original doubts have not been resolved, but new problems have emerged.

Lin Qiushi rubbed the smooth surface of the bronze mirror, sighing slightly in his heart.

Ruan Nanzhu stood up straight away, and walked towards Luo Qianshan and Luo Qianshui.

Lin Qiushi was startled when he saw this, and was about to stand up and follow, when he heard Ruan Nanzhu say lightly: "You guys wait here, I'll go over and talk to them."

Lin Qiushi can only say yes.

Cheng Yixie nodded.

Ruan Nanzhu walked up to the table of Luo Qianshan and Luo Qianshui. Luo Qianshui never liked Ruan Nanzhu, and this time was no exception. When he saw him, he said angrily, "Why? I understand? We want to talk about standing?" Wait, I'm still hungry."

Ruan Nanzhu didn't speak, but stared at Luo Qianshui silently.

"Is there something wrong?" Luo Qianshan asked warmly.From the perspective of personality, Luo Qianshan should be much gentler than Luo Qianshui, but Lin Qiushi is more willing to deal with people like Luo Qianshui, at least her likes and dislikes are shown on her face.

Ruan Nanzhu remained silent.

Luo Qianshui was obviously terrified by Ruan Nanzhu's gaze, fidgeting and said: "Is there something wrong with you? What are you doing staring at me..." She seemed to think of something, and said loudly, "My brother has a girlfriend, you Don't even think about it!"

Luo Qianshan showed helplessness beside him.

Lin Qiushi wanted to laugh inexplicably.

Cheng Yixie whispered suddenly: "What are they talking about?"

Lin Qiushi was taken aback when he heard the words, and then realized that sitting so far away according to the hearing of normal people would not be able to hear Ruan Nanzhu and the others.

"Luo Qianshui told Ruan Nanzhu that her brother has a girlfriend." Lin Qiushi held back a smile and translated for Cheng Yixie.

Cheng Yixie also had a little smile in his eyes when he heard the words.

"Are you thinking too much?" Ruan Nanzhu said, "What misunderstanding do you have about my vision?"

Luo Qianshui slapped the table and was furious: "What do you mean! My brother is so good, why do you look down on him!"

Ruan Nanzhu said: "But I already have someone I like."

Luo Qianshui: "Who? Who do you like!!"

Luo Qianshan showed a headache expression, and said: "I'm sorry... May I ask what you need to come to us? Qian Shui, please stop talking."

Luo Qianshui obviously wanted to continue talking, but Luo Qianshan grabbed his wrist before he paused unwillingly.But it can be clearly seen from her eyes - she has already had countless opinions on Ruan Nanzhu in her heart.

"I'm here to talk to you about your proposal yesterday." Ruan Nanzhu pulled out his chair and sat down in front of Luo Qianshan naturally, "I think we can cooperate."

Luo Qianshan's eyes lit up.

"However, we have to get the clues to this door." Ruan Nanzhu was talking while observing Luo Qianshui's expression from the corner of his eye, "Is there a problem?"

"No." Luo Qianshan said, "We can reach a consensus on this."

Ruan Nanzhu tilted his head: "Are you brothers and sisters?"

"Yeah, what's the matter?" Luo Qianshan smiled, "It doesn't look like it?"

Ruan Nanzhu: "Not like."

Luo Qianshui frowned: "My brother and I are different..."

Before she could finish her sentence, she heard Ruan Nanzhu's light voice: "What's the difference between the living and the dead?"

The air seemed to freeze in an instant, Luo Qianshui stared in astonishment, but Luo Qianshan's eyes sank like twilight, and he said, "What do you mean?"

"Literally." Ruan Nanzhu said, "Which door did your sister die at?"

Luo Qianshan stood up directly from the chair, and he shouted: "Shut up!"

Ruan Nanzhu already got the answer he wanted from his reaction, he nodded: "Don't be nervous, I have no ill intentions towards you, I just want to confirm one thing."

Luo Qianshui frowned and looked at Ruan Nanzhu.

"Happy cooperation." Ruan Nanzhu got up and left.It seems that these two people did come in from outside the door, not the NPC inside the door. If the answer he got was the latter, then there is no need for them and Luo Qianshan to continue to cooperate.
