Kaleidoscope of Death

Lin Qiushi carried Ruan Baijie on his back, while the rest of them carried the heavy tree on their backs.

The road is slippery in snowy weather, everyone should be extra careful.

Xiong Qi opened the way ahead with an oil lamp, calling everyone to take their time.

Originally, the snow was just falling in bits and pieces, but on the way they walked back, the snow suddenly grew bigger, like a piece of goose feather, fluttering and covering the entire sky.

Ruan Baijie was not heavy, and Lin Qiushi could easily carry her on his back. He lowered his head and carefully watched the road under his feet, walking forward step by step.

The wind became louder and louder, even to the point of being harsh. The falling snow covered most of Lin Qiushi's vision, and he began to lose sight of the person in front of him.

This feeling was very bad. Lin Qiushi paused slightly and was about to stop when he heard Ruan Baijie's voice next to his ear, she said, "Don't stop, keep going."

Lin Qiushi heard the words and had no choice but to move on.

However, the further he walked, the more he felt that something was wrong. At first Lin Qiushi thought it was too cold and he was confused, but as the road got farther, he finally noticed the source of the sense of disobedience.

It was too light, the person behind him was too light, as if he had lost weight, Lin Qiushi swallowed, and tentatively sent the person on his back up.

——It really wasn't his illusion. The person lying on his back was very light, like paper. Although it had all the shapes, it was weightless.A thin layer of sweat formed on Lin Qiushi's forehead, and he called out, "Bai Jie."

No sound.

"Bai Jie." Lin Qiushi continued calling.

"What's the matter?" Ruan Baijie pressed her face to Lin Qiushi's neck. Her face was icy cold, her skin was wet and soft, which gave Lin Qiushi a bad association. She said, "What did you ask me to do?"

"It's okay." Lin Qiushi said, "I'm just asking if you're cold."

"I'm not cold." Ruan Baijie said, "I'm not cold at all."

Lin Qiushi didn't dare to stop. He had been walking with his head buried before, but now he looked up and looked around, but found that he was far away from the person in front of him.

In the heavy snow, he could only vaguely see the blurred oil lamp in front of him and the backs of a few people walking in the wind and snow. It seemed that what he was carrying on his back was not Ruan Baijie, but something else.

Lin Qiushi gritted his teeth slightly.

"You are shaking." The thing on the back had the same voice as Ruan Baijie, she said softly and softly, "Are you cold?"

"It's okay." Lin Qiushi said, "It's just a little cold."

"Do you want to go somewhere that's not cold?" she asked, "a place that's warm and won't snow or get dark."

Lin Qiushi wondered if he should ask where it is next, but he didn't want to ask this question at all, so he simply fell silent.

"Why don't you talk?" she said.

"Because I was thinking." Lin Qiushi replied dryly.

She asked, "What are you thinking?"

Lin Qiushi's footsteps stopped for a moment, and he said loudly: "I'm thinking about how to throw you down!" After he said this, he let go instantly, and then ran towards the front without looking back.

Obviously his choice was correct, because after he let go, he didn't hear any sound of heavy objects falling to the ground—that object was definitely not a person.

Lin Qiushi ran wildly, grabbed the gap and glanced behind him.This look almost didn't scare him out of a heart attack.I saw the thing thrown down by him lying lifelessly on the snow, but the neck was getting longer and longer, stretching all the way in the direction of his running, the head with black hair rubbed against the snow, crooked. She turned her head and asked him: "Why did you abandon me, don't you like me the most?"

Lin Qiushi said angrily, "I fucking like your size—"

Longer and longer head: "..."

Lin Qiushi didn't dare to stop his pace at all, he just wanted to catch up with the partner in front of him quickly.But what made him desperate was that no matter how fast he ran, the figures and lights in front did not get any closer, as if he was chasing a mirage in a dream.

But the thing behind him was getting closer and closer to him.

It's over, when the thing was about to catch up with him, Lin Qiushi felt despair.However, at this moment, his foot seemed to be tripped by something, and his whole body fell heavily to the ground.

"Damn it!" Lin Qiushi stumbled and ate a big mouthful of snow, but this action made him feel that something was pulled out of his body, and then he felt that someone lifted him directly from the snow. up.

"Lin Qiushi, Lin Qiushi, can you do it, am I that heavy?" It was Ruan Baijie's voice.

Lin Qiushi got up from the ground with difficulty, turned his head, and saw the girl squatting next to him poking his cheek with her finger.

And Xiong Qi was the one who picked Lin Qiushi up from the snow, and he said, "Are you all right?"

Lin Qiushi let out a long breath: "I fucking thought I was dead."

Ruan Baijie tilted her head: "Why?"

Lin Qiushi briefly talked about what happened just now, and said that fortunately he tripped at the end, otherwise he might have been cold.

"Oh." Ruan Baijie said, "I said why you fell down, I thought it was because I was too heavy."

Lin Qiushi: "It's okay, not too heavy."

Ruan Baijie curled the corner of her mouth.

Xiong Qi said: "Get up quickly, they are going down the hillside, it's going to be dark, we have to hurry up too."

Lin Qiushi nodded. When he got up, he felt a little pain in his knee. It was probably injured when he fell to the ground just now.But he didn't mention it, but continued to follow Xiong Qi and the others. Originally, he wanted to carry Ruan Baijie on his back, but Ruan Baijie refused in the end, saying that Lin Qiushi was too thin, and he was carrying Ruan Baijie on his back.

After hearing this, Lin Qiushi asked quietly, "Do you have breasts..." When he was carrying Ruan Baijie just now, he felt that Ruan Baijie's chest was flat, without any soft feeling at all.

Ruan Baijie became angry when she heard Lin Qiushi's words, and said angrily, "Okay, okay, you have big breasts, you should say it first!"

Lin Qiushi: "..."

The three quickened their pace, trying to catch up with the person in front, but at this moment, Lin Qiushi heard a scream.

"Did you hear that?" Lin Qiushi asked, he was worried that this was also his hallucination.

"I heard." Xiong Qi's face turned black, "Hurry up, something happened."

The three ran straight away, but when they got to the front, they saw a terrifying scene.

Two of the three people who were carrying the wood died, and their bodies were directly smashed into two halves by the wood. The most terrifying thing is that although their bodies were broken, they were still conscious, with blood oozing from their mouths, and they couldn't stop screaming. Call and help.

The remaining one was limp on the ground, his crotch was wet, and he cried out in disintegration: "Help—help——"

"What's going on! What's going on!" Xiong Qi asked.

Xiao Ke said: "They were walking on the road, but suddenly they let go, and the wood fell straight down, hitting the waists of the two people in front."

Before Xiong Qi could speak, the remaining survivor got up from the ground and started running all the way, crying and howling: "There are ghosts, help, there are ghosts——"

Before everyone had time to react, they watched him run wildly and disappear into the snow curtain.

And the two remaining people on the ground were also dying, seeing their breath dying.

"What should I do..." The women in the team began to cry, and the wails continued, "Are we all going to die here?"

Xiong Qi's beard was covered with snowflakes, he sighed, his expression could be said to be calm, he said: "Let's go, first carry the wood back."

The log killed someone, and no one dared to carry it. Everyone refused to move. In the end, Lin Qiushi took the initiative to carry the blood-stained log with Xiong Qi.

Everyone was silent on the way back. Fortunately, no accident happened again.

The two first sent the wood to the carpenter.The old carpenter was not surprised to see the blood on the wood, he didn't even ask a question, but reminded them in a hoarse voice: "There are still two more."

Xiong Qi and Lin Qiushi didn't speak, and turned back to their residence.

The thing where the wood fell was really strange, there must be something causing trouble.Lin Qiushi felt that he had escaped another catastrophe. He stared at the fire in front of him in a daze, his whole being in a state of bewilderment.

Ruan Baijie sat beside him, and suddenly said, "I want to eat noodles."

"Yeah." Lin Qiushi said, "I'll take a rest first."

Ruan Baijie said, "What's wrong with you, are you tired?"

"No, I'm just thinking about the meaning of my appearance in this world." Lin Qiushi said, "I was living well in the original place, but one day when I walked out of the house, I found twelve iron gates in the corridor. , and I opened one of them..."

Ruan Baijie listened quietly.

"Then it appeared here." Lin Qiushi said, "Is the meaning of the iron gate just meaning fear and torture?"

Ruan Baijie laughed when she heard the words, and she said: "I think it's pointless to think about it now, but maybe this kind of experience is not torture."

Lin Qiushi: "What is that?"

"Perhaps." Ruan Baijie looked gentle, "It means a new life."

Lin Qiushi frowned.

At this time, only the two of them were left in the living room, and everyone else went back to their rooms to rest.What happened today made everyone feel exhausted, so Xiong Qi decided to rest for an hour before discussing what to do next.As for what to do, in fact, everyone knows in their hearts that if they want to leave here early, they should go to chop down trees, even if something more terrifying may happen next time.

"Go." Ruan Baijie, "I'm hungry."

Lin Qiushi stood up and went to the kitchen.

Ruan Baijie looked at his back, showing a smile of unknown meaning.

The noodles tasted good, and after the two of them finished eating, everyone had a rest.So they gathered in the living room again and began to discuss the way ahead.

"They should have been haunted when they went down the mountain." Zhang Zishuang, a member of the group who was calmer than the others, said, "I saw the two people in front of us stop."

"The ways of death here are all kinds of strange, and there is no need to care about how they died." Xiong Qi said bluntly, "The problem now is the conditions of death."

Whether it is cutting trees, carrying logs, or traveling in snowy weather, all these may be the conditions for ghosts to kill people.

"Let's eliminate it." Xiao Ke said, "Everyone cut down the trees, but only the three of them carried the wood."

"Then why is it okay for me and Xiong Qi to carry logs?" Lin Qiushi asked.

"There are two possibilities. One is to carry the tree, and the second is to have other conditions." Xiong Qi said, "Because there is a limit to the number of ghosts who kill us every day, it is impossible to kill us all in one go." The reason why he had the courage to carry the wood back with Lin Qiushi.

"But how to verify?" Xiao Ke asked.

"Why do you need to verify it?" Ruan Baijie said shamelessly, playing with her hair, "As long as you avoid these conditions, none of us can afford the price of verification failure."

"Oh." Xiao Ke replied indifferently.Her attitude towards Ruan Baijie has always been not very good, and she usually ignores her answers. That's right, a beautiful girl like Ruan Baijie who occasionally likes to act is sometimes not very popular with people of the same sex.

"Then no one will carry the tree tomorrow." Xiong Qi said, "Let's get a tool to drag the wood down the mountain."

Others agree.

"What about the man who ran away?" Someone asked again, worried about the teammate who was emotionally broken, "Leave him alone?"

"What do you do?" Teammate Zhang Zishuang said, "Look at the sky outside, it's going to be dark soon, and it's hard to say what will happen after dark, so go find it with your life?"

Everyone fell silent, agreeing with him.

In such a world, everyone's life is not guaranteed, and it is already a luxury to survive, let alone save other people's lives.

"Let's go, rest early, we'll continue tomorrow." Xiong Qi stood up and prepared to go back to the room after speaking.

Ruan Baijie looked at the weather outside and said, "I don't know if the snow will stop tomorrow."

The result is a prophecy.

It snowed all night and showed no sign of stopping in the morning.

Probably someone died yesterday, and nothing terrible happened last night, and everyone survived the night successfully.

The snow was so heavy that it was difficult to even go out, let alone cut down trees and transport them back in such a snowstorm.However, compared with the bad weather, the ghosts in the dark are obviously more frightening, so even if the weather is bad, no one proposes to delay it for a day from the beginning to the end.

Silent morning, silent departure, everyone seems to have lost the ability to talk because of what happened yesterday.

The only one who kept her condition was Ruan Baijie, she was walking in the snow, humming a song, as if this trip was just a trivial trip.

The author has something to say: Lin Qiushi: Why do you like noodles so much?

Ruan Baijie: No, I just like eating under you.

Lin Qiushi: Huh? ?

Ruan Baijie: Oh, it's the next face.
