Kaleidoscope of Death

Lin Qiushi was very surprised that Luo Qianshui was not a human being.But looking at the expressions of Ruan Nanzhu and Cheng Yixie, they didn't seem to see too much astonishment on their faces, as if they had been used to such things for a long time.

Ruan Nanzhu returned to their side and said: "I chatted with them for a while, there is no major problem, Luo Qianshui's accident happened at another door."

Lin Qiushi looked at him and said, "Is this kind of thing common?"

Ruan Nanzhu said lightly: "Of course it's not common."

Lin Qiushi: "But why is it okay for Luo Qianshui to die in another sect..."

Ruan Nanzhu interrupted Lin Qiushi's words. His tone was a bit cold. It seemed that he didn't want Lin Qiushi to get entangled in this matter. It's best not to ask any questions. He said: "This Things don't matter—at least not in this door."

Lin Qiushi had no choice but to nod when he heard the words. Although he felt that Ruan Nanzhu's attitude was a bit strange at this time, there was nothing wrong with Ruan Nanzhu's words. Luo Qianshui's matter had nothing to do with this door.

After confirming Luo Qianshui's identity, Ruan Nanzhu agreed to cooperate with them and began to discuss how to find the key at night.

Ruan Nanzhu said: "We can't all enter the house, you two are waiting outside."

Lin Qiushi disagreed with Ruan Nanzhu's proposal: "I think it's better for me to go." He paused for a moment, and expressed his inner thoughts, "After all, it is still unclear whether Luo Qianshan and Luo Qianshui are enemies or friends. , If something happens to me inside, you can help me."

But if Ruan Nanzhu encountered a situation in the house, I'm afraid he and Cheng Yixie would be helpless.

Ruan Nanzhu pondered for a moment, appearing a little hesitant.

Cheng Yixie said lightly: "Brother Ruan, you can't protect Qiu Shi forever."

Lin Qiushi was slightly taken aback when he heard the words, he always felt that Cheng Yixie had something to say, so he turned his head and glanced at him.

Ruan Nanzhu was expressionless: "How do you know I can't?"

Cheng Yixie stopped talking.

The atmosphere between the two was a bit stiff, Lin Qiushi had no choice but to say: "Nan Zhu, let me go, it's okay."

Ruan Nanzhu tapped his finger on the table, and finally agreed with Lin Qiushi's plan, and decided that he would enter the house alone to get the key, while he and Cheng Yixie guarded Luo Qianshan and Luo Qianshui outside to prevent any What an accident.

But in just a few days, people in the entire team died in sevens and eighties.

The difference between this door and other doors is that without props, you can't even judge whether the people around you are dead or alive. People who may be sleeping with you on the same bed may even be dead. It's been several days.

Around three o'clock in the afternoon, Ruan Nanzhu and Luo Qianshan discussed some details about getting the key.

"At that time, I will enter the mirror and lead the mother and child away from the door. This time will be about 5 minutes." Luo Qianshui seemed to have accepted the fact of her death calmly, she calmly narrated, "So your time limit is 5 minutes, and you must leave that room within 5 minutes."

"Yeah." Ruan Nanzhu said, "Have you found the door yet?"

"Not yet." Ever since Ruan Nanzhu made it clear that Luo Qianshui was dead in the morning, Luo Qianshan's polite and gentle face disappeared, replaced by a kind of indifference that he didn't bother to pretend, he said , "But it must be on the 34th floor."

Ruan Nanzhu was thinking about something.

"What about you, who are you going to send in?" Luo Qianshan asked.

"I'll go." Lin Qiushi said the result of their discussion.

"You go? Who decided? Your friend?" Hearing Lin Qiushi's answer, Luo Qianshan's eyes moved to Ruan Nanzhu.

Lin Qiushi said: "No, I want to go by myself." He said, "Is there any problem?"

Luo Qianshan was slightly surprised by Lin Qiushi's answer, and he was right, who would take the initiative to put himself in danger, and there was some other meaning in his eyes, "Aren't you afraid?"

Lin Qiushi said: "What are you afraid of?"

Luo Qianshan smiled: "Of course I'm afraid of death."

Lin Qiushi was a little surprised by his question: "There is no one who is not afraid of death."

Luo Qianshan shook his head: "No, you have never met someone who is really afraid of death."

People who are really afraid of death will be overwhelmed by fear, and some people will even make irreversible actions because of fear when they enter the first door. Of course, Luo Qianshan is too lazy to tell Lin Qiushi about these things, he just has an intuition I feel that the person named Yu Linlin in front of me is a little special.

So this matter was settled like this, and the five of them waited for the night to come.

At eight o'clock in the evening, the strong burnt smell began to appear in the corridor again.

Lin Qiushi and the others went to the corridor as agreed, and saw Luo Qianshan and Luo Qianshui who were already waiting there.

Luo Qianshan raised his hand and looked at his watch: "At 45:[-] Luo Qianshui will enter the mirror to lure them away, and at [-]:[-] you must come out, the key is hanging on the most central wall in the room, it is easy to find .”

Ruan Nanzhu said: "Is this what Luo Qianshui saw in the mirror?"

Luo Qianshan glanced at Ruan Nanzhu and nodded.

Sure enough, what they said before was lying, the door was not opened at all, and the reason why the brother and sister could see where the key was was only because Luo Qianshui could walk through the mirror.

Three minutes before 3:[-], Ruan Nanzhu handed Lin Qiushi a blood-red bracelet.

He didn't say anything, Lin Qiushi tacitly took the bracelet and put it on his wrist.

"Safety is the first goal." Ruan Nanzhu said softly, "If you can't get it, let it go, you must come out."

Lin Qiushi nodded.

With a tick, it was [-]:[-]. Luo Qianshui turned and walked into the mirror beside her. Lin Qiushi noticed that there seemed to be a red thread tied around her wrist, connecting her body with Luo Qianshan's.

The scorched mother and daughter standing quietly at the end of the corridor also reacted. They looked at the mirror beside them, and as Luo Qianshui said, they turned and entered the mirror beside them.

Lin Qiushi ran away, and rushed to the outside of the charred room at the end with the fastest speed.

A strong burnt smell poured into his nostrils, he covered his mouth and nose with a wet towel with one hand, and opened the burned and deformed door with the other.

The room in front of me was no longer what it looked like during the day.

The whole house is black, both the furniture and the walls are deformed and blackened due to the high temperature, but what is incompatible with the whole house is the mirrors hanging everywhere.

The mirror is still intact, and almost every corner is shrouded in the mirror.

Lin Qiushi didn't dare to waste time, walked into the room quickly, and searched the room with his eyes, trying to find the wall with the key in Luo Qianshan Pass.

Lin Qiushi turned around the house but didn't find it. He didn't find what he was looking for until he entered the bedroom on the left.

"Damn it." After seeing the scene in the bedroom, Lin Qiushi rarely swears.

I saw that the small wall of the bedroom was covered with densely packed keys, and each of these keys looked exactly the same—it was the bronze key used to open the door.

At first glance, there are definitely one or two hundred.

Lin Qiushi looked up at his watch. He still had three and a half minutes—how could he find the one he wanted among these hundreds of keys?Sweat dripped from Lin Qiushi's forehead, and he forced himself to calm down.

"Crack..." However, just as Lin Qiushi was thinking, the sound of the mirror being knocked suddenly came from behind him. Lin Qiushi turned around and saw a human figure in the mirror behind him. Although he changed his clothes, his body was half It was burnt black, but Lin Qiushi still recognized from his appearance that this person was the waiter in this hotel.

He stood in the mirror, staring at Lin Qiushi with resentful eyes.

This look was so terrifying that Lin Qiushi took a step back involuntarily.

"Crack, click..." The man in the mirror began to tap the mirror in front of him vigorously with his hands, and obvious cracks began to appear on the mirror, which looked like it might be broken at any time.

The man walked to the edge of the mirror, and pressed the half of his scorched face to the mirror, muttering curse-like words.

Lin Qiushi saw the man's eyes.

It was his black eyes that were incompatible with the man's ugly face.Those eyes were like calm lake water, reflecting the dark light.

Lin Qiushi looked into his eyes, his expression suddenly became a little dazed, as if he heard the crying of a woman and the howling of a child.

There was a man cursing, and the sound of a mirror being smashed.

"You go, you go, don't come back." The woman said, "I hate you, I hate you—"

"You hate me, why do you hate me." The man said, "What are you!"

"Ahhh!!" Something broke, and red flames shot out from inside.

The woman let out a shrill scream, but with the sound of the mirror shattering, the scream gradually became inaudible.

The same is true for the crying of children. They seem to have been taken away from the ability to cry by something... no, maybe directly took away their lives.

Then came the sound of embarrassing footsteps slamming the door.

In a trance, Lin Qiushi felt that the scene seemed to have moved to another place. He saw a huge mirror, which reflected the man's appearance, and when the man turned around and fled in a panic, a pair of scorched hands appeared from the corner of the mirror. Slowly stretched out, grabbed the man's feet, and pulled him into the mirror abruptly.

When Lin Qiushi saw this, he suddenly felt a tingling pain in his wrist. He looked terrified, only to realize that he had already walked in front of the mirror, and if he took another step forward, he was about to stick to the mirror.

And on the other side of the mirror is a man with malicious eyes.

"Cough, cough, cough." Lin Qiushi coughed a few times, and finally broke free from the illusion, raised his wrist and looked at his watch.44:1 - he only has [-] minute left!

Key, key, key, which one is the real key.

At this moment, Lin Qiushi had the illusion that he was really in the flames.But Lin Qiushi's keen hearing caught a series of slight footsteps coming from the mirror... The time is coming, and the mother and son are coming back!

The crisis situation made Lin Qiushi's mind clearer, and the three clues appeared in his mind: use copper as a mirror, you can straighten your clothes; use history as a mirror, you can know the ups and downs; use people as a mirror, you can Ming gains and losses.

The Bronze Mirror was found, and the Shi Jing was also found, so where is the remaining human mirror?

What exactly is taking people as a mirror, and what are gains and losses?

Lin Qiushi looked at the man in the mirror, and he suddenly remembered what Ruan Nanzhu had said. Ruan Nanzhu said that the door has rules, which means that the newborn is not dead, so generally it is not necessary to set up a death situation.

So does the man trapped in the mirror in front of him have any other purpose?

Lin Qiushi walked up to the man and began to observe the man's appearance.

The man stood in the mirror, his black eyes looked at Lin Qiushi resentfully, Lin Qiushi stared into his eyes, and suddenly noticed something - a small scene was reflected in the man's eyes.

The scene was not a reflection of the scene in the room, but a completely different picture.

It was a small bedside table. On the bedside table was a group photo of a family of three. At this moment, Lin Qiushi suddenly realized.

He turned and ran towards the bed, and opened the burnt family portrait with his hands. Under the family portrait was a beautiful bronze key.

Lin Qiushi finally understood what the word "gain and loss" meant.

There was only a moment left at this time, Lin Qiushi grabbed the key and turned around and ran wildly, not daring to stop any longer.

Five seconds, four seconds, three seconds... When Lin Qiushi saw the door, his face showed joy. However, as soon as a smile appeared on his cheeks, he froze, because two figures appeared at the door.

One was tall and the other was short, the tall one was holding the short one, his whole body was scorched black, the tall one was holding the child with one hand, and the other hand was holding the door, showing a distorted smile at Lin Qiushi.

The door was about to be closed——Lin Qiushi's brain reacted extremely quickly, and with a flick of his hand, he threw the key in his hand directly out of the door.

Immediately there was a click, and the door was locked heavily.

Lin Qiushi fell to his knees and coughed loudly.

The temperature in the room began to rise sharply. With the thick smoke, Lin Qiushi felt his consciousness gradually withdrawn. He clearly realized that he seemed to be dying.

Facing death, Lin Qiushi's heart was in an indescribable peace. His cheek was on the ground, looking at the charred wall, countless scenes flashed through his mind like a revolving lantern.

There are his, chestnuts, friends, and... Ruan Nanzhu's.

Ruan Nanzhu in the revolving lantern is so beautiful. Before Lin Qiushi closed his eyes, he felt that he was worthless. He was about to die, and he still had a man in his mind...

Darkness enveloped Lin Qiushi, and he felt his body soften.

……

Tick, tick, is the sound of water droplets.

Lin Qiushi felt a severe thirst, he opened his mouth slightly, and uttered a word with difficulty: "Water..."

Then something moist and soft brushed against his lips, Lin Qiushi slowly opened his eyes, feeling a faint light in his pupils.

"Are you awake?" came a voice.

Lin Qiushi coughed violently several times, and he finally saw clearly that the person sitting in front of him was Cheng Yixie.

Cheng Yixie held a cotton swab in his hand, with water on it.

"Yixie?" Lin Qiushi was a little confused when he saw him, "I, am I not dead?" He still remembers the scene before he fell into a coma.

Theoretically speaking, he would surely die in such a scene.

"I'm Qianli." The other innocent twin opened his big eyes, "Qiu Shi, unexpectedly he didn't recognize me, he only thought about my brother."

Lin Qiushi: "..." Why does something that is obviously normal have a different taste in your mouth?

"I came out?" Lin Qiushi felt pain all over his body, and even his voice was extremely weak, "I thought I was dead..."

"Not dead." Cheng Qianli said, "Brother Ruan almost died."

Lin Qiushi was taken aback, and immediately sat up from the bed: "What?!"

Cheng Qianli said: "Well...it's fine now, don't worry, as long as we don't die directly, we will be fine soon with our body's recovery ability."

Lin Qiushi: "No, no, what happened to Nanzhu?" He remembered that he had thrown the key out before he came out.

Cheng Qianli: "Then I don't know, he is still in a coma."

Lin Qiushi rubbed his head: "How long have I been out?"

Cheng Qianli: "Two days."

Lin Qiushi exhaled: "Where's your brother? Are you all right?"

"It's okay." Cheng Qianli said, "He will come over at noon. If you want to ask anything, ask him yourself."

Lin Qiushi nodded, indicating that he understood.

At noon, Cheng Yixie, who delivered meals to Cheng Qianli, appeared at the hospital.

"Awake?" Cheng Yixie said, "How do you feel?"

Lin Qiushi lay on the bed, looking at the drip on his hand: "It's not bad, what's wrong with me?"

Cheng Yixie said, "Just like Brother Ruan, he lost too much blood."

Lin Qiushi snorted.Although it was said that he lost too much blood, Lin Qiushi didn't feel any pain in his body. In fact, apart from the strong feeling of weakness, there was no other abnormality.

"Is Nan Zhu okay?" Lin Qiushi was still worried about him, "How did I get out..."

Cheng Yixie said: "He's fine, he should be discharged after a few days of recuperation." He paused for a moment, then whispered, "Brother Ruan opened the door again and rescued you."

"Open the door again?" Lin Qiushi said, "But didn't the mother and daughter guard the door?"

Cheng Yixie: "It's a long story."

Lin Qiushi: "Then speak slowly, I'm not in a hurry anyway."

Cheng Yixie nodded, and described the thrilling scene in concise words.After seeing the mother and daughter coming back early to close the door, Ruan Nanzhu went crazy. Without hesitation, he took out his weapon to restrain Luo Qianshan, forced Luo Qianshui to enter the mirror again, and once again lured the mother and daughter away Then rushed into the door and rescued Lin Qiushi.

At that time, the entire corridor was on fire, and Ruan Nanzhu, who came back with Lin Qiushi in his arms, almost became a burning man, with most of his skin burned.

Fortunately, the injury was inside the door, otherwise the person might have died long ago.

After the fire started to spread, they found the door to get out and used the key to leave that world before being burned to death.

Of course, because of Ruan Nanzhu's actions, their cooperative relationship with Luo Qianshan's brothers and sisters was directly declared broken. Cheng Yixie was very disdainful of this, saying that there are no permanent friends in the door, only permanent interests.

After hearing this, Lin Qiushi asked with a smile, "Then will we be friends forever?"

Cheng Yixie was slightly taken aback when he heard the words, then a little helplessness appeared on his expressionless face, and then he nodded lightly.

Lin Qiushi felt like he was teasing a child, so he laughed.

Around evening, Ruan Nanzhu also woke up.Although he lost a lot of blood like Lin Qiushi's symptom, he did have trauma on his body. Those wounds looked like they were scratched with a mirror, and the doctor asked if he should call the police.

Cheng Yixie pushed Lin Qiushi to see Ruan Nanzhu in a wheelchair.

Ruan Nanzhu was lying on the bed, there was no trace of blood on his beautiful face, oxygen was still inserted in his nose, and he looked extremely weak.But those black eyes were frighteningly bright, like a night sky full of stars, making people feel as if their souls were being sucked in.

Lin Qiushi called his name: "Nan Zhu."

Ruan Nanzhu's lips moved slightly, and he hummed softly.

Lin Qiushi said: "Thank you." After he said this, he felt a little inappropriate. He said that he was so kind without saying thanks. If it wasn't for Ruan Nanzhu, he might not have been able to come out of the door.At this moment, he outside the door may have jumped from upstairs, or used some other method of death.

"It should be me thanking you." Ruan Nanzhu's voice was very soft, like a feather floating in the air.

Lin Qiushi said: "Stop talking, take a good rest, and wait for you to be discharged from the hospital." Ruan Nanzhu is too weak now, and even a few words exhausted all his strength.

Lin Qiushi's eyes moved to Ruan Nanzhu's hand. Ruan Nanzhu's hand was very beautiful, with white and slender fingers. When he placed it weakly by the bedside, he could see the sharp-edged muscles and bones on it.But at this time, these beautiful hands were wrapped in bandages. This seemed to be just a microcosm of the wounds on Ruan Nanzhu's body. It was hard to imagine how many such wounds were hidden under Ruan Nanzhu's sick clothes.

Lin Qiushi narrowed his eyes and let Cheng Yixie push him out of the ward.

Ruan Nanzhu, who was behind him, was breathing more evenly, and seemed to have fallen asleep again.

Lin Qiushi listened at the door for a while, then suddenly said in a low voice, "Is it worth it?"

Cheng Yixie stood behind Lin Qiushi. Although the words were endless, he still understood what Lin Qiushi meant.

He said: "As long as he is willing, it is worth it."

Lin Qiushi laughed: "That's right."

"Let's go." Cheng Yixie said, "You also need to take good care of your body and try to get better as soon as possible."

Lin Qiushi nodded, and was pushed back to the ward by Cheng Yixie.
