Kaleidoscope of Death

Li Dongyuan's death seemed to be just an insignificant episode, and Bailu, who had changed his leader, quickly got back on track.However, those who were secretly dissatisfied with Jin Yurui still became a hidden danger. Not long after, Lin Qiushi heard that Bailu had split into two factions. It is the new white deer.

Regarding this matter, Ruan Nanzhu was not much surprised, it was obvious that he had expected it a long time ago.

"This may be a good thing for Jin Yurui." Ruan Nanzhu commented, "She is not stable now, and it is difficult to control everyone in Bailu, rather than keeping people with dislikes by her side , It’s better to let them set up a separate portal.”

Lin Qiushi snorted.In fact, he finds it incredible that everyone is a person who may die at any time, and they still care about fame and fortune.No matter how much you fight, it will be nothing but a piece of loess in the end.

Ruan Nanzhu felt like laughing when he heard Lin Qiushi's words. He shook his head and said in a flat tone, "People are always greedy."

No matter how much you get, you will never be satisfied.

Lin Qiushi felt that he understood Ruan Nanzhu's meaning, but it was really difficult to empathize with what those people did.With the contrast between reality and the world inside the door, he has never felt that being alive is such a wonderful thing that the satisfaction brought by other things is diluted.

It seems that only when you come out of the desert can you understand your cherishment and desire for water.

Lizi's attitude towards Lin Qiushi has returned to the past recently. He often meows, jumps on Lin Qiushi's chest and lies on his stomach, and also likes to rub his cheek against Lin Qiushi's chin, looking like he can't do it.

Lin Qiushi looked at the coquettish chestnut and his heart softened into a pool of spring water. He stroked its chin with his fingers and called softly, "Good baby, good baby."

Seeing Lin Qiushi like this, Cheng Qianli said, "Qiushi, do you know that when you play with cats, you look like a kind mother?"

Lin Qiushi was taken aback when he heard the words: "Why not a kind father?"

Cheng Qianli: "..." You really know how to focus.

A loving mother is a loving mother, Lin Qiushi doesn't bother to care about such details.

It has been three months since he came out of the door, and his body has almost recovered.But Ruan Nanzhu still looked weak, although he had recovered a lot compared to when he just came out of the door.

On a sunny afternoon, Ruan Nanzhu suddenly found Lin Qiushi and said he wanted to talk to him.

Lin Qiushi went to Ruan Nanzhu's bedroom and saw him sitting on a chair by the window. The warm sunlight coated his body with a faint golden layer, making him look like he was emitting a faint light .

Lin Qiushi called him: "Nanzhu."

Ruan Nanzhu opened his eyes, there was no sleepiness in them, they were still as deep and peaceful as a lake, he said: "Sit."

Lin Qiushi walked in and sat down beside Ruan Nanzhu.

"How does your body feel?" Ruan Nanzhu asked.

Lin Qiushi nodded: "It's almost recovered."

Ruan Nanzhu looked at Lin Qiushi. This time, there was a little more scrutiny in his eyes, as if he was evaluating Lin Qiushi's physical condition. Soon, Ruan Nanzhu's estimation came to fruition. He said, "You can enter the door alone. gone."

Lin Qiushi was not surprised by what Ruan Nanzhu said. In fact, he was also thinking about it recently.Since he touched the door, he has never been separated from Ruan Nanzhu, and Ruan Nanzhu has always led him to protect him, while everyone else in the villa, except for Cheng Qianli, can be alone.

Lin Qiushi didn't want to be Ruan Nanzhu's burden, rather than being protected, he wanted to fight side by side with Ruan Nanzhu.

Ruan Nanzhu said: "What do you think?"

"Very good." Lin Qiushi replied, "I also think that I should try it alone." His eyes were slightly lowered, but his eyes fell on Ruan Nanzhu's collarbone. Ruan Nanzhu's collarbone is very beautiful, The lines are beautiful, and the logo looks like something in a sculpture.However, the only fly in the ointment is that there is a dark red scar on the lower part of the collarbone. This is the mark left by the ninth door on Ruan Nanzhu's body, which has not disappeared yet.Lin Qiushi suddenly regretted that Ruan Nanzhu was perfect, and these marks should not appear on his perfect body.

Ruan Nanzhu observed Lin Qiushi's expression and asked him, "Are you afraid?"

Lin Qiushi shook his head.

Ruan Nanzhu said: "Aren't you really afraid?"

Lin Qiushi said: "Not afraid." He was indeed not afraid.

Ruan Nanzhu was silent for a moment, and slowly said: "I was scared when I entered the door alone for the first time." He seemed to find it a little funny, "I was scared to death, but it's useless to be afraid, the people around me can't take me forever... Lin Qiushi." He called Lin Qiushi's name.

Lin Qiushi looked into his eyes, their eyes met, and Lin Qiushi heard Ruan Nanzhu speak softly.

His tone was very light, but with a stubborn taste: "but if you want, if you want - I can protect you for the rest of your life, whether it's your whole life or mine."

These words made Lin Qiushi's heart beat violently, his ears turned red, and he felt a little embarrassed for a while.

"How?" Ruan Nanzhu tilted his head slightly and asked, "As long as you open your mouth..."

Lin Qiushi said, "No, I want to go by myself."

Ruan Nanzhu fell silent, and the lazy aura on his body instantly subsided, turning into an indifference like a snowstorm.

Lin Qiushi knew that he had misunderstood something, and quickly explained: "It's not that I don't want to, it's that I don't want to do this." He said seriously, and his eyes fell on the wound on Ruan Nanzhu's collarbone, "I don't want you to suffer these injuries again , if I could have been stronger at that time... Both of us could come out of it intact. Besides, your body hasn't recovered yet..."

He babbled a lot, like a long-winded old woman.But Lin Qiushi didn't dare not to be verbose, he was worried that he didn't make it clear, and that Ruan Nanzhu misunderstood him.

In fact, he really wanted to go in with Ruan Nanzhu, but he couldn't be so selfish. Ruan Nanzhu's body hadn't recovered yet, so Lin Qiushi couldn't make such a request to Ruan Nanzhu.

Ruan Nanzhu was expressionless at first, but soon there was a little helplessness in his eyes, and he said: "Okay, I understand." His brows curled up in a beautiful arc, "Why didn't I know you were so Long winded."

Lin Qiushi: "Maybe I was not a qualified loving father at that time?"

Ruan Nanzhu: "..."

Lin Qiushi: "I'm just kidding..."

Ruan Nanzhu stood up from the chair, looked at Lin Qiushi with condescending eyes, and said, "A joke?"

Lin Qiushi was suppressed by Ruan Nanzhu's momentum and inexplicably wanted to take two steps back, but at least he held back, and then listened to Ruan Nanzhu's words: "But now you are a qualified good father."

Lin Qiushi wanted to laugh but didn't dare to.

The difference between Ruan Nanzhu inside and outside the door was too great, which made Lin Qiushi a little schizophrenic.

Ruan Nanzhu turned around, walked to the side of the room, took out a key, bent down, opened the safe in the corner of the room, and took out a note from it.

Then Ruan Nanzhu returned to Lin Qiushi and handed him the note: "This is a clue to the fourth door. You can pick up the job on the Internet, and I can introduce you to it when you want to go in." , just tell me." He emphasized his voice, "This time, it's only you."

Lin Qiushi nodded solemnly, and took the things in Ruan Nanzhu's hand.

"Go." After Ruan Nanzhu gave Lin Qiushi a note, he waved at him.

Lin Qiushi turned and left. When he went out, he saw Ruan Nanzhu returning to the chair, half-closed his eyes, and seemed a little tired.He closed the door gently, wishing Ruan Nanzhu a good dream in his heart.

After going out, Lin Qiushi only read the content on the clue. It was a sentence: the sky is in panic, the ground is in panic, there is a crying boy in my family, who passed by here and read it three times, and fell asleep until the daylight.

Lin Qiushi remembers that this seems to be a strange folk remedy. It is said that if the children in the family are crying all the time, they can write this sentence on a note, and then stick the note on the intersection where people often walk, and the passers-by will read it. If there are too many, the children in the family can stop crying.

Not knowing if it would be useful, Lin Qiushi put the clues in his pocket, wondering if he could get a job of his own online.

I have to say that the Internet is really convenient, and you can solve problems quickly without meeting.

After Lin Qiushi made up his mind to take over the job, he quickly found his goal.A girl who claimed to be a 16-year-old girl posted a post, saying that she wanted someone to take her through the door, but she didn't have a lot of money and asked if she could pay in installments.

After reading her profile, Lin Qiushi sent her a private message and asked for some details.Learned that she is a student, currently a sophomore, and the fourth door is two weeks away.

Lin Qiushi showed these materials to Ruan Nanzhu, and asked if this person could do it.

After reading the information, Ruan Nanzhu's expression was a bit subtle: "Are you sure this is the person?"

Lin Qiushi: "I think it's safer to choose a girl than a boy, and besides, she's younger and younger..." It's easier to deal with any situation with ulterior motives.

"Alright." Ruan Nanzhu said, "This person registered on the forum half a year ago, even if there is a problem, it shouldn't be a big problem..."

Lin Qiushi said: "What could be the problem?"

Ruan Nanzhu: "There are many problems that can arise." He said, "Go to Chen Fei and let him teach you."

Lin Qiushi nodded and said yes.

"Remember to bring your props with you when you enter the door." Ruan Nanzhu reminded, "Although I don't know what it's useful for, those things can save lives at critical times."

Lin Qiushi hummed, indicating that he knew.

Afterwards, Chen Fei taught Lin Qiushi a class, and popularized the science on the most common scams encountered in the forum. One is to lie about the number of doors. Without a bracelet, you can only enter the door if you are with the person you are picking up.So when it is found that the number of doors is wrong, it is already too late, and the person who issued the entrustment may even claim to be the third door, but it is actually a cheating situation of the fifth door.

"Then what should I do?" Lin Qiushi didn't expect such an operation, and was shocked, "I can only go in?"

"Yes, I can only go in." Chen Fei said straightforwardly, "I was tricked once before I joined Obsidian, and I almost wanted to kill that person after I went in. But now we have bracelets, don't worry about this, if You will find yourself cheated at that time, not the fourth door he said, just take off the bracelet."

Lin Qiushi said: "Okay!"

Chen Fei said: "There is another situation, which is hard to guard against."

Lin Qiushi: "What's the situation?"

Chen Feidao: "Lied about my information."

A 1.8-meter strong man pretended to be a 1.6-meter girl, in order to make people feel at ease to accept this commission.Chen Fei said that such situations are actually very common, let Lin Qiushi be mentally prepared...

Lin Qiushi: "... isn't he afraid that I'll admit the wrong person?"

Chen Fei patted Lin Qiushi on the shoulder, and sighed: "Don't think too much, in fact, we often admit the wrong person, such as Brother Ruan, and it is common for people to be mistaken."

Lin Qiushi: "..." He thought of his first encounter with Ruan Nanzhu.

"There are other things to pay attention to, that is, try not to reveal your identity outside the door." Chen Fei said, "This is a very dangerous thing."

Lin Qiushi said: "I see."

"When are you going to go in?" Ruan Nanzhu seemed to have talked with Chen Fei in advance, knowing that Lin Qiushi was the only one who entered the door this time, "After all, this is your first time, everyone should celebrate with you."

Lin Qiushi: "...it's over." There's nothing to celebrate.

"No no." Chen Fei said, "We still have to celebrate."

Lin Qiushi: "..."

He didn't know why Chen Fei was so persistent at first, but after thinking about it carefully, he finally understood what Chen Fei meant.It is very dangerous to enter the door alone, and it is easy to break inside. It is more like a farewell party prepared in advance than a celebration. If something happens inside, at least it will be with the people in the villa. Goodbye.

Cheng Qianli burst into tears at the dinner table and said, "Qiushi, you can go at ease, I will definitely take good care of Lizi."

Lin Qiushi: "Can you stop talking?"

Cheng Qianli: "Stop talking, from today on, Lizi is my daughter-in-law, and I will take good care of her!"

Lin Qiushi: "Lizi is a male cat."

Cheng Qianli: "The chieftain is still a male dog!"

Lin Qiushi had nothing to say, he really wanted to hit Cheng Qianli on the head a few times, he was so stupid anyway, a few more hits wouldn't make it worse.And what if it takes two shots like repairing a TV?

But apart from Cheng Qianli, Lin Qiushi could see that everyone else in the villa was worried about him, although they all showed restraint.

There are still two weeks left before entering the door. Lin Qiushi originally thought that he would spend this time peacefully, but he did not expect another accident. In fact, it was not an accident, but Lin Qiushi actually saw Luo Qianshan——Yes, It was Luo Qianshan who was with his younger sister Luo Qianshui in the door they had just left.

It's just that outside the door, his name is Zhuo Feiquan, and his sister is Zhuo Mingyu——Feiquan Mingyu, at least it sounds much better than Cheng Qianli and Cheng Yixie.

"This may be the importance of reading." Cheng Qianli couldn't help but feel sad after knowing this, "Who would want to have a brother named Yixie when he was called Qianli..."

Cheng Yixie: "Cheng Qianli, are you itchy?"

Cheng Qianli, who had a strong desire to survive, could only answer: "Of course I will, after all my brother is so cute."

Cheng Yixie: "Oh."

In fact, after coming out of the ninth door, Ruan Nanzhu investigated the matter about the Luo Qianshan brothers and sisters, and determined that they did not belong to any organization.

These two people are too special. A person who has passed through the nine doors and whose relatives have died must be the focus of attention in the organization, and is even very likely to be the leader of that organization.There are only a handful of large organizations in the country, and even fewer people have passed through the Nine Gates, so Ruan Nanzhu quickly determined that Luo Qianshan and Luo Qianshui did not belong to any organization.

Ruan Nanzhu was not very interested in the two of them, but Cheng Yixie seemed to care about them, and successfully dug out their identities in reality.

How did Cheng Yixie dig out Luo Qianshan's real identity? Lin Qiushi didn't ask. Anyway, when he came back to the villa one day, he saw a young man in his 20s sitting on the sofa in the villa, angrily talking to the twins. One of them was arguing about something.

Lin Qiushi heard the content of the quarrel between the two from a distance. To sum it up, it was probably the man who warned him not to investigate himself, otherwise don't blame him for being rude.

Cheng Yixie didn't say anything, just looked at the man stupidly, with a face like I'm not, I don't have anything.

Lin Qiushi watched for a while, only to realize that the man was not Cheng Yixie at all, but Cheng Qianli.

Lin Qiushi: "..."

"Cheng Qianli, don't think I'll believe you if you put on such an innocent appearance." The man said, "Compared to me pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, you are a little younger!"

Listening to his conversation, Lin Qiushi really wanted to tell him that the person in front of you is not pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, he is a real pig...

Cheng Qianli was yelled at inexplicably and felt extremely wronged. He said: "Zhuo Feiquan, are you unreasonable? I've already said that it has nothing to do with me. If you go find my brother, it must be my brother who did it."

Zhuo Feiquan sneered: "Don't try to lie to me, the person in the photo is exactly like you!"

Cheng Qianli: "But my brother and I also look alike!"

Zhuo Feiquan: "Then I will not be exactly the same! No one has ever misidentified me and my sister!" He didn't seem to know that Cheng Qianli and Cheng Yixie were twins, thinking that although they were brothers, there was still an age difference .

Cheng Qianli almost cried out of aggrievedness. He had done many bad things and made his brother blame him, but this person in front of him was really not provoked by him.So he looked up and saw Lin Qiushi, and hurriedly said: "Qiushi, tell him, there is something wrong with this man!"

Lin Qiushi said, "Where's your brother?"

Cheng Qianli: "I don't know which little goblin he went to fool around with."

They were in a stalemate, and the door opened again, and Cheng Yixie came in from outside carrying a basket of vegetables, seeing the stiff atmosphere in the villa, his expression did not change at all.

And Zhuo Feiquan froze after seeing the exact same faces of Cheng Qianli and Cheng Yixie: "Are you really twins?"

Cheng Qianli said angrily: "I have told you more than 300 times!"

Zhuo Feiquan was a little embarrassed: "It's pretty similar."

Cheng Qianli: "Twins don't look alike!" He glanced at his brother, originally wanting to be angry, but when he faced Cheng Yixie's eyes, he became useless again and said, "Look, look , the little goblin you provoked back."

Zhuo Feiquan, known as the little goblin: "..."

Cheng Yixie went to the kitchen to put the dishes away, washed his hands, and then came out slowly, looking at Zhuo Feiquan: "Is there something wrong?"

Zhuo Feiquan: "You have been investigating me?"

Cheng Yixie sat down opposite Zhuo Feiquan: "Yes."

Zhuo Feiquan: "Can you—"

Before he could speak, Cheng Yixie interrupted him, and Cheng Yixie said, "No." At this moment, he didn't look like a 16-year-old boy at all, and he said coldly, "What qualifications do you have to come here?" require me?"

Zhuo Feiquan's eyes sank, he stopped talking, stood up and was about to leave.

When Lin Qiushi passed by him, he noticed a beautiful pendant hanging on his chest. On the pendant was a black and white photo of a girl.The girl who came inside should be Zhuo Feiquan's younger sister...that is, Luo Qianshui from the door.

Zhuo Feiquan left angrily, and Cheng Yixie didn't stop him, but told Cheng Qianli that next time you meet such a person, don't pay attention to him, and don't even open the door.

"Why are you torturing others?" Cheng Qianli asked.

Cheng Yixie sneered, "Brother Ruan and Qiu Shi were almost gone because of him, I'm soft-hearted for not torturing him to death."

Zhuo Feiquan may be very powerful inside the door, but he is just an ordinary person outside the door. The most important thing is that he has not joined any organization and has no support behind him.

"Okay." Cheng Qianli said, "Don't go too far, or Brother Ruan will tell you."

Cheng Yixie went into the kitchen without saying a word.After a while, the aroma of food came from the kitchen.

Cheng Qianli said: "What happened inside your door? I haven't seen my brother treat others with such an attitude for a long time."

Lin Qiushi said: "It's nothing special..." He also felt that Cheng Yixie's attitude was a bit strange.

In fact, most of the time, Cheng Yixie didn't show any strong emotions, and he didn't seem like the kind of person who would seek revenge. Maybe it was because of what Zhuo Feiquan did in the door that really annoyed Cheng Yixie?

Lin Qiushi didn't think much about this matter, because the time for him to enter the door was coming soon.

Lin Qiushi prepared everything, and the person who met him ordered codes and clothes, and began to wait for the arrival of the entry time.

One afternoon a few days later, Lin Qiushi felt a change in the surrounding atmosphere. He pushed open the door, and was not surprised to see the scene in the corridor, which turned into twelve black iron doors.
