Chapter 45
Chapter 45: Back to the World
According to Ruan Nanzhu, it is obvious that even if they are drawn into the painting, the ghosts cannot directly attack them.
But since there is a picture frame inlaid behind the glass in front of you, it means that almost everyone who comes to the toilet here has been framed by a picture frame - just don't know why the woman finally chose Lin Qiushi.
"Look at his appearance." Ruan Nanzhu said casually, "He is more cute."
Tan Zaozao stared at the words: "Then why didn't I get pulled in?"
Ruan Nanzhu: "Are you cute?"
Tan Zaozao: "..." Ruan Nanzhu, if you say this outside, you will die, you know.
All in all, there seems to be a lot of picture frames hidden in this ancient castle. At least after returning to the bedroom, Ruan Nanzhu found several more. One was hidden to the right of the mirror, and the other was hidden in the bedside table. Ruan Nanzhu even found a hidden compartment on the ceiling. The hidden compartment was the picture frame. It was no wonder that he was also the object of being dragged into the portrait. And what Yang Meishu did was just a cover-up for the hostess. It seems that the ghosts in this world are really wise, and their wisdom is not low.
After pulling out all the picture frames in the house, Ruan Nanzhu smashed them all rudely. After smashing it, told the people in the team about it, and asked them to look for it, and try to turn out all the picture frames.
I don't know if it was Lin Qiushi's delusion, but he always felt that the hostess looked at Ruan Nanzhu that morning with a particularly resentful look, as if he wanted to peel him to the bone.
Ruan Nanzhu didn't know whether he didn't feel it or it didn't matter at all. He still sat calmly in front of the dining table and ate delicious steak without being affected in the slightest.
But even if everyone started looking for the frame, it was still a little late. The next morning, someone disappeared again and turned into a gorgeous painting.
Ruan Nanzhu went to look at the painting, and then pulled out a flat frame from under the man's carpet. Lin Qiushi held the frame and sighed, "Is this okay?"
He put the picture frame aside, shook his head and said, "It's really hard to guard against."
Ruan Nanzhu: "It's really hard to prevent, so we'd better find the key as soon as possible." He said, "I always feel that she is getting more and more unscrupulous."
Lin Qiushi nodded.
Ruan Nanzhu's intuition was obviously right, and that night, the woman appeared outside their window again.
On a quiet rainy night, the woman stood in the middle of the desolate yard, and the rain fell on her. She raised her head slightly, facing the balcony where Ruan Nanzhu was, showing a hideous smile.
Ruan Nanzhu was smoking outside, and when she saw the woman, she didn't speak, her expression was rather indifferent, she just said, "She is standing outside."
Lin Qiushi walked to his side and saw the scenery outside.
Ordinary people saw that this woman was already cowardly, that is, Ruan Nanzhu, who could look at her indifferently without stage fright, and finally the woman disappeared first.
"Aren't you afraid?" Lin Qiushi turned his head and asked him.
Ruan Nanzhu exhaled: "It's the same whether I'm afraid or not." He handed one to Lin Qiushi.
It was inside the door anyway. Lin Qiushi took the cigarette and lit it, looking at the gradually darkening sky outside: "What should I do next?"
Ruan Nanzhu: "Wait."
Why did he wait, what did he wait for, Ruan Nanzhu didn't explain, and Lin Qiushi didn't ask. After he finished smoking, he turned and entered the room with Ruan Nanzhu. Tan Zaozao had fallen asleep with his butt pouted on the floor. The image of this girl inside is really difficult to match the cool actress outside. She doesn't look very good, and her personality is not cold. She especially likes to lie on the bed like a worm and sleep with her buttocks. The posture is really unsightly, and don't know if her fans will feel that their dreams are shattered when they see it.
Lin Qiushi brought her a quilt and lay beside Ruan Nanzhu.
"You stand on the bridge and look at the scenery, and the people watching the scenery look at you upstairs. The bright moon decorates your windows, and you decorate other people's dreams." Ruan Nanzhu said, "Do you have any new ideas for this poem? "
Lin Qiushi pondered for a while: "We stand in the old castle and look at the paintings. The people watching the paintings are looking at us upstairs. The picture frames decorate our windows, and we decorate other people's dreams..." This note is also considered very It's clear, he can understand the answer with just a little thought, but he's a little hesitant now, whether the last sentence of the poem, the dream, refers to the painting that the woman brought them into, or something else.
"I think the dream refers to the painting upstairs." Ruan Nanzhu turned his body sideways and looked at Lin Qiushi's profile.
The distance between the two is so close that they can even feel each other's breath.
If this is put on others, Lin Qiushi may feel uncomfortable. But it was probably because he shared the same bed with Ruan Nanzhu before, so Lin Qiushi didn't think there was any problem.
"You mean that dinner party picture?" Lin Qiushi asked.
Ruan Nanzhu: "Well."
Lin Qiushi blinked: "Then let's go and burn that painting?"
Ruan Nanzhu was silent for three seconds, and found that Lin Qiushi was serious, he said, "Aren't you afraid anymore?"
Lin Qiushi: "Isn't there still you? Besides, if the hostess's dream is really that painting, do we have to wait until she finishes that painting?"
Ruan Nanzhu: "She will never finish that painting."
Lin Qiushi was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then he understood what Ruan Nanzhu meant. The hostess is indeed unable to complete the painting. There are ten people in the painting, which means that she must pull ten people into the frame and turn it into a painting, but according to the rules in the door, the team will not be completely destroyed, nor It means that the hostess's painting will always be missing a face - indeed the painting will never be completed.
"Let's go up and take a look tomorrow." Ruan Nanzhu said, "I can't stay here any longer, it will only become more and more dangerous."
Lin Qiushi nodded.
Ruan Nanzhu's guess was right, because the next morning, another one was missing from their team. This time, there was not much reaction from everyone, and everyone was used to this kind of thing.
The man's portrait was finally put away by the housekeeper, and Lin Qiushi watched him take the portrait up to the roof.
"Where is he going to receive the painting?" Lin Qiushi was a little curious.
Ruan Nanzhu: "I don't know, just follow."
After the two finished speaking, they put down the knife and fork in tacit agreement and walked out. Tan Zaozao didn't understand what happened, and hurried out with a piece of bread in his mouth.
The butler went up to the sixth floor, opened the room where the unfinished product was placed, and came out soon after entering.
Lin Qiushi and the others hid at the corner of the stairs and saw the butler disappear in front of them.
"Go in and see?" Lin Qiushi asked.
Ruan Nanzhu nodded.
Skillfully unlocking, Ruan Nanzhu opened the door of the room where the unfinished product was placed again. This time, as soon as they entered, they made a new discovery.
"...Are these new paintings?" Tan Zaozao looked at the paintings in front of him with horror. I saw a room of portraits, and many of the original blank spaces of the portraits were filled. Filling the frame is a woman in black with the appearance of a girl in the rain. Her figure is everywhere by the window, in the corridor, on the stairs, and in the courtyard. It even appeared in the picture scroll belonging to Xiao Su.
This gave Lin Qiushi an inexplicable feeling that the picture was polluted.
Ruan Nanzhu looked at these hundreds of paintings but fell into thought. The movement of his hand paused and said, "Look for it."
Tan Zaozao was in a confused state from the beginning, still eating the bread in his hand: "What are you looking for?"
"Look for the door." Ruan Nanzhu said, "the door should be in the painting."
"Really or not?" Although Tan Zaozao was a little skeptical, he still obeyed Ruan Nanzhu's words and began to rummage through the hundreds of paintings in front of him with him.
About half an hour later, Lin Qiushi finally found what he wanted when he was rummaging through a picture scroll underneath. He whispered, "I found itโ"
It was a very ordinary painting at first glance. It was a scene inside the castle, but there was a very special scene in this scene - a black iron gate.
The black iron gate stands in the dark corner, and it is easy to miss it if you don't look carefully.
Ruan Nanzhu took the painting: "This is the staircase on the right side of the second floor, go and have a look."
They went straight to the second floor with the painting, and soon found the scene in the painting, but it was different from the painting. The place where the iron gate is located is a white wall with an ordinary landscape painting hanging on the wall.
Ruan Nanzhu reached out and took off the painting, and found that there was a switch behind the painting. When he saw the switch, he reached out and pressed it. With a slight rumbling sound, the wall in front of them cracked a huge A gap, a black door, appeared in front of the three.
"The door is found!" Tan Zaozao was overjoyed, "The key is now..."
Lin Qiushi and Ruan Nanzhu looked at each other.
Ruan Nanzhu: "Do you want to do it?"
Lin Qiushi: "Let's go."
Tan Zaozao didn't understand the meaning of the conversation between the two until she saw Ruan Nanzhu took out a lighter from her pocket, and she said stunned: "You two really don't want to go..."
Ruan Nanzhu: "You're afraid to wait here."
Tan Zaozao said forget it, she should stay together, if something happens, they can take care of each other, don't the family pay attention to being neat and tidy?
Lin Qiushi: "..." Is it cool together neatly?
After making the decision, Ruan Nanzhu was very decisive, and the three went straight to the studio of the hostess on the seventh floor. Of course, they didn't forget to knock on the door before entering the studio, otherwise it would be very embarrassing to push the door and see the hostess sitting inside.
The hostess doesn't seem to paint during the day, and only continues at night. This gave Ruan Nanzhu an opportunity. He walked to the painting, turned on the lighter, lowered his head and lit it. The whole action was done in one go, as if he had done it countless times.
Tan Zaozao watched with trepidation, rubbing the goose bumps on his arm vigorously.
The flames were stained with paper and quickly devoured the painting in front of him. However, when the flames spread, Lin Qiushi heard a subtle sound, like a human scream, and it seemed like the wet wood was ignited. kind of creaking.
"Did you hear that?" Lin Qiushi asked hopelessly.
Sure enough, Ruan Nanzhu and Tan Zaozao both shook their heads, indicating that they had not heard anything.
In a moment, the painting in front of him turned into black ashes, and as the last corner was also ignited, there was a crisp sound on the ground, as if something metal had fallen to the floor.
Lin Qiushi lowered his head and saw a bronze key as expected.
"Ahhhh!!!" At the same time, a woman's angry roar came from downstairs. Lin Qiushi, who was screaming, almost lost his footing. Don't think about it, you know it must be the voice of the hostess.
"Let's go!!" Ruan Nanzhu grabbed the key and turned around and ran.
Lin Qiushi and Tan Zaozao followed closely.
They went all the way down the stairs, but when they reached the fourth floor, they saw the crazy-looking hostess who had already arrived. Her tall body was hunched up at this moment, and she roared angrily. She was angry and crazy, but what attracted the most attention was the huge picture frame she was holding in her right hand.
"Take the side door stairs!" Ruan Nanzhu was very familiar with the structure of the castle, and immediately changed direction when he saw the woman.
The woman rushed towards them, waving her limbs uncoordinated, just like a huge arthropod, but the speed was very fast, and she was behind them in an instant.
Lin Qiushi didn't dare to stop for a moment, as soon as he stopped, the frame seemed to hit him immediately.
They went down to the fourth floor quickly, and Ruan Nanzhutou didn't reply: "Lin Qiushi, you lead her away, give me some time to open the door-"
Lin Qiushi gritted his teeth: "Okay!" He turned his head to look at the huge woman behind him, grabbed the painting hanging on the wall next to him without thinking, and smashed it towards her.
The woman was smashed by the painting Lin Qiushi threw, and she let out an almost hideous roar, and rushed towards Lin Qiushi.
Lin Qiushi dodged and avoided the picture frame she waved in front of him. He glanced at Ruan Nanzhu and ran down to the first floor.
The woman really followed him down the stairs. Lin Qiushi felt that he had never been so calm before. After he was sure that the woman was coming, he quickly turned around and ran up the stairs at the other end of the corridor. So much time must have been enough for Ruan Nanzhu to open the iron door!
Sure enough, Lin Qiushi, who returned to the second floor, saw the iron door that had been opened.
There was a soft light inside the iron gate, telling the people inside the gate that this is the way of life, Lin Qiushi gasped heavily and ran towards the gate with all his strength. However, just as he was about to enter the door, he felt a pair of big hands, grabbed his ankles tightly, and dragged him out of the door abruptlyโโ
The woman appeared in front of him with a grim expression and looked at him condescendingly. Lin Qiushi's foot was caught in her hand, her right hand was raised, and the photo frame in her hand fell heavily.
At this moment, Lin Qiushi's breathing almost stopped, and the picture in front of him became extremely slow, like the last revolving lantern before death. He could even see the black hair of the woman flying in the air...
The picture frame fell down, and Lin Qiushi closed his eyes involuntarily.
"Ahhhh!!!" However, the darkness that should have come did not come, but Lin Qiushi heard the woman screaming. He opened his eyes and found that his whole body was soaked in blood, and his trouser pocket was the source of the blood. At this time, blood was still pouring out continuously. The blood seemed to be offensive to the woman, and she even put down the picture frame in her hand and began to back away.
Lin Qiushi didn't dare to think about what was going on, so he turned and rushed into the door. After passing through the tunnel smudged by the rays of light, he paused and finally returned to the world he had left for a long time.
"Huhuhu..." Lin Qiushi sat on the bed, his head covered in cold sweat, he raised his hand to wipe the sweat off his forehead, got up and went outside, and knocked on Ruan Nanzhu's room.
With a crunch, Ruan Nanzhu appeared at the door. He saw Lin Qiushi, and his expression relaxed slightly: "Come out."
Lin Qiushi nodded, the scene before going out was too scary, and now he has no strength: "When I came out, I was caught by that woman."
Ruan Nanzhu frowned: "Aren't you hurt?"
Lin Qiushi shook his head: "No." He was a little puzzled, "I was caught by her, but something seemed to save me." He took out his trouser pocket and found nothing strange in it, " There's a lot of blood spilling out of the pockets... do you know what that is?"
Ruan Nanzhu leaned against the door and shook his head to indicate that he didn't know: "If you can come out, you can do so much."
Lin Qiushi snorted, he always felt that Ruan Nanzhu had something to hide from him, of course, he didn't dare to say it in front of Ruan Nanzhu, so he nodded and turned away.
Ruan Nanzhu looked at his back and said, "Tan Zaozao invited us to dinner tonight."
"En." Lin Qiushi said, "I'll take a bath to calm down."
night.
Lin Qiushi and Ruan Nanzhu appeared at the restaurant ordered by Tan Zaozao. Lin Qiushi originally thought that Tan Zaozao would invite them to eat steak or something, but she didn't expect her to order a hot pot.
As soon as Lin Qiushi went in, he saw Tan Zaozao in a T-shirt rolling up his sleeves, sipping a hot pot and a beer, and saw them beckoning without raising their heads: "Come quickly, you have eaten steak for so long, really I'm hungry."
Lin Qiushi: "..." This contrast is too great.
Ruan Nanzhu seemed to be used to it. He sat down beside Tan Zaozao and said, "You can make the balance."
Tan Zaozao said angrily: "It's not that I don't fight, what are you anxious about, I just came out, let me rest for two days." She poured a glass of cold beer down her stomach, "It's so cool... "
Lin Qiushi always felt a trance when he looked at the shadow queen who had no frame in front of him. He sat down quietly and started to eat.
Tan Zaozao and Ruan Nanzhu began to talk about things, most of which were about the bargaining of the fourth door. Only then did Lin Qiushi know that the door led by Ruan Nanzhu was not cheap. The first four doors were all one million yuan. Not even a cent less. At the fifth door, the price increases. How and how much depends on Ruan Nanzhu's mood.
"We have such a good relationship, can't we be cheaper?" Tan Zaozao said, "I'm also a VIP member, right?"
Ruan Nanzhu said indifferently: "Brother, clear the account."
Tan Zaozao: "You are a money fan." It's also thanks to this money fan that he is so ignorant of the world. She actually thought he was an expert who didn't care about the world.
Ruan Nanzhu: "Give it or not?"
Tan Zaozao sadly took out his mobile phone and prepared to transfer money.
With a ding dong, it was Lin Qiushi's cell phone that made the sound after the transfer was over. He took out his cell phone and saw that another 200,000 had been transferred on it. He looked a little hesitant: "Brother Ruan..."
Ruan Nanzhu waved his hand: "If you ask you to take it, you can take it. If you don't take her life-buying money, you will look down on her."
Tan Zaozao: "..." She really wants to be looked down upon...
Lin Qiushi still took the money. There are rules for each line. As a novice, he should not talk about some things.
The three of them just came out of the door, and they were all a little tired, especially Lin Qiushi was grabbed by the woman before he came out. Although he was not injured, it was terrifying enough.
Tan Zaozao left after eating almost, leaving Ruan Nanzhu and Lin Qiushi behind.
"Tired?" Ruan Nanzhu asked him.
"A little bit." Lin Qiushi replied.
"Then go back." Ruan Nanzhu, "It's not too early."
Lin Qiushi nodded.
The two walked out from the hot pot restaurant. The weather was still hot at the moment, but luckily the sun had already set. The noisy cicadas and the passing vehicles should be noisy and noisy, but they are inexplicably reassuring. Lin Qiushi and Ruan Nanzhu didn't speak all the way until they arrived at the villa, and Ruan Nanzhu said to Lin Qiushi, "Have a good rest."
"You too." Lin Qiushi smiled.
After Ruan Nanzhu said this, she turned and went upstairs, while Lin Qiushi sat in the living room for a while.
Cheng Qianli just came back from his toast walk, and saw Lin Qiushi happily greeted him: "Are you back?"
Lin Qiushi: "I'm back."
"No accident, right?" Cheng Qianli touched the toast's butt.
"No major accident." Lin Qiushi replied calmly.
Cheng Qianli tilted his head, as if he felt that Lin Qiushi's state was not right, he said, "Where are you feeling?"
"Uncomfortable?" Lin Qiushi shook his head, "No, maybe I'm a little tired."
Cheng Qianli sighed, and without thinking much, he told Lin Qiushi to take a good rest.
Lin Qiushi said, "Have you seen chestnuts?"
"I didn't see it, I don't know where it went, maybe it was in Brother Ruan's room." Cheng Qianli said, "Would you like to go take a look."
Lin Qiushi thought about it and decided to forget it.
When he went back to his room to sleep, Lin Qiushi lay on the bed for a while and didn't fall asleep. He looked at the ceiling, and finally couldn't help sending a message to Ruan Nanzhu: Are you asleep?
It took a while for the other side to reply: No, is something wrong?
Lin Qiushi: I have something to ask you.
Ruan Nanzhu: What's the matter.
Lin Qiushi looked at his mobile phone screen and typed down what he wanted to say word by word: Did you put the things in my trouser pockets?
Ruan Nanzhu didn't answer.
Lin Qiushi: What is that? Can't you tell me?
Ruan Nanzhu replied to him with five words: Come to my room.
Lin Qiushi was a little happy, and ran to Ruan Nanzhu's room as soon as he lost his phone. As soon as he opened the door, he saw Ruan Nanzhu who had just taken a bath and only had a towel around him. His hair was still wet and dripping slowly. Drops of water slid down his collarbone to his sturdy chest and beautiful merman line, and finally fell to the floor.
"Sit." Ruan Nanzhu raised his chin.
Lin Qiushi sat on the sofa beside Ruan Nanzhu.
Ruan Nanzhu originally wanted to light a cigarette, but looked at Lin Qiushi again, and finally put it away. He picked up a towel and wiped his hair: "Yes, I put the things."
Lin Qiushi asked directly, "Then why did you lie to me?"
Ruan Nanzhu: "You do things so directly?"
Lin Qiushi was a little puzzled: "Why can't it be direct? Is there anything shameful about this?"
Ruan Nanzhu looked at Lin Qiushi condescendingly, with a strange expression: "You never thought about it, what if I actually wanted to harm you?"
Lin Qiushi shook his head honestly: "I haven't thought about it."
Ruan Nanzhu: "..." Lin Qiushi, why are you so cute.
The author has something to say:
Ruan Nanzhu: I like bullying honest people (fly rubbing hands
Lin Qiushi: ? ? ? ?
Lin Qiushi has only entered four doors. He is only a novice. Don't compare himself with experienced bosses. He needs to give him some time.
