Chapter 76 Leaving the door

Lin Qiushi was very surprised that Luo Qianshui was not human. But looking at the expressions of Ruan Nanzhu and Cheng Yixie, they didn't seem to see much stunned expressions on their faces, as if they were used to such things.

Ruan Nanzhu returned to their side and said, "I chatted with them for a while, there is no big problem, Luo Qianshui had an accident at another door."

Lin Qiushi looked at him and said, "This kind of thing is common?"

Ruan Nanzhu said lightly: "Naturally it is not common."

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

Ruan Nanzhu interrupted Lin Qiushi, his tone was a bit cold, and he didn't seem to want Lin Qiushi to be entangled in this matter, it is best not to ask questions, he said: "This is 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 at this time was a bit strange, but there was no problem 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 said 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 am afraid that he and Cheng Yixie would be helpless.

Ruan Nanzhu pondered for a moment and seemed a little hesitant.

Cheng Yixie said lightly, "Brother Ruan, you can't protect Qiu Shi all your life."

Lin Qiushi was stunned when he heard the words. He always felt that there was something in Cheng Yixie's words, 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 little stiff, and Lin Qiushi had no choice but to say, "Nan Zhu, let me go, it's alright."

Ruan Nanzhu pointed his finger on the table, and finally agreed with Lin Qiushi's plan, and decided to let him enter the house to get the key, while he and Cheng Yixie were outside guarding Luo Qianshan and Luo Qianshui to prevent them from appearing. What an accident.

But in just a few days, the entire team died.

The difference between this door and other doors is that if there are no props, you can't even judge whether the person around you is dead or alive, and the person who may sleep with you in the same bed may even be dead. for several days.

About three in the afternoon, Ruan Nanzhu and Luo Qianshan discussed some details about the key collection.

"When the time comes, I will enter the mirror and lead the mother and son away from the door. This time will be about five minutes." Luo Qianshui seemed to have accepted the fact of her death very calmly. She narrated calmly, "So your time limit is five minutes, and you have to leave that room within five minutes."

"Well." Ruan Nanzhu said, "Have you found the location of the door?"

"Not yet." Ever since Ruan Nanzhu revealed that Luo Qianshui was dead in the morning, the polite gentleness on Luo Qianshan's face was gone, replaced by an indifference that was too lazy to pretend, he said. , "But it must be on the thirty-fourth 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 shifted to Ruan Nanzhu.

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

Luo Qianshan was a little surprised by Lin Qiushi's answer, and yes, who would take the initiative to put himself in danger, there was something else 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: "No one is not afraid of death."

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

People who are really afraid of death will be defeated by fear. Some people will even make irreversible actions because of fear when they enter the first door. Of course, Luo Qianshan doesn't bother to tell Lin Qiushi about these things. He is just intuition. feel that this person named Yu Linlin is a little special.

So this matter was settled like this, and the five people waited for the arrival of the night.

At eight o'clock in the evening, the strong burnt smell began to appear on 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 8:40, Luo Qianshui will enter the mirror to distract them, and at 8:45, you must come out from the inside. The key is hung on the wall in the center of the room. 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, their previous statement was a lie. The door was not opened at all. The reason why the two brothers and sisters could see the location of the key was only because Luo Qianshui could shuttle in the mirror.

Three minutes before eight forty, Ruan Nanzhu handed a blood-red bracelet to Lin Qiushi.

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

"Life safety is the first goal." Ruan Nanzhu's voice was soft, "If you can't get it, you must come out."

Lin Qiushi nodded.

With a tick, it was 8:40 when Luo Qianshui turned around 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 to Luo Qianshan's.

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

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

The rich burnt odor filled his nostrils. He covered his mouth and nose with a wet towel with one hand, and opened the burnt 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 that hang everywhere.

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

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

Lin Qiushi turned around the room and didn't find it until he entered the bedroom on the left, and he found what he was looking for.

"Fuck." After seeing the scene in the bedroom, Lin Qiushi rarely cursed out swear words.

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

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

Lin Qiushi raised his head and looked at his watch. He still had three and a half minutes - how did he find the one he wanted from these hundreds of keys? Lin Qiushi's forehead was dripping with sweat, and he forced himself to calm down.

"Mang rub..." However, when Lin Qiushi was thinking, the sound of a mirror being tapped 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 full. It was scorched black, but Lin Qiushi still recognized from his appearance that this person was the waiter in this hotel.

He stood in the mirror and stared at Lin Qiushi with malicious eyes.

This look was too terrifying, causing Lin Qiushi to take a step back involuntarily.

"Bangcha, bang..." The man in the mirror began to tap the mirror in front of him with his hands, and obvious cracks began to appear on the mirror, which looked like it might shatter at any time.

The man walked to the edge of the mirror and pressed his charred face to the mirror, mumbling curse-like words.

Lin Qiushi saw the man's eyes.

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

Lin Qiushi looked into his eyes, and his expression suddenly became a little dazed. He seemed to hear the crying of women and the howling of children.

There were curses from men, and the sound of mirrors being shattered.

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

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

"Ahhhh!!" Something shattered, and red flames burst out from it.

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

The same goes for the cries of the children, who seem to have had the ability to cry out that something has taken away from them... no, it may have taken their lives outright.

Then came the sound of awkward footsteps slamming out the door.

In a trance, Lin Qiushi felt that the picture seemed to have moved to another place. He saw a huge mirror, which reflected the man's appearance, but just as the man turned around and fled in confusion, a pair of charred hands appeared from the corner of the mirror. He 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 in his wrist, and his expression froze, only to realize that he had actually walked in front of the mirror, and if he took a 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, finally broke free from the illusion, raised his wrist and looked at his watch. Eight forty-four—he only has a minute!

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 light footsteps coming from the mirror... The time is coming, the mother and son are coming back!

The situation of the crisis made Lin Qiushi's mind clearer. The three lines of clues appeared in his mind: using bronze as a mirror, you can correct your clothes; using history as a mirror, you can know the rise and fall; using people as a mirror, you can Pros and cons.

The bronze mirror was found, and Shi Jing was also found, so what about the last remaining human mirror?

In the end what is called taking people as a mirror, and what are the gains and losses?

Lin Qiushi looked at the man in the mirror, and he suddenly remembered what Ruan Nanzhu said. Ruan Nanzhu said that the door has rules, which means that the new student has not died, so there is generally no mortal situation.

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

Lin Qiushi walked in front of 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 at 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 house, but a completely different picture.

It was a small bedside table with a group photo belonging to a family of three placed on the bedside table. At this moment, Lin Qiushi suddenly realized.

He turned around and ran towards the bed, and opened the charred family portrait with his hands. Below 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, daring not to stop.

Five seconds, four seconds, three seconds... Lin Qiushi looked happy when he saw the door, but as soon as he put on a smile, he froze, because two figures appeared at the door.

One is tall and the other is short, the tall one is holding the short one, his body has been burnt to black, the tall one is holding the child with one hand, and the other hand is actually grabbing the door, showing a distorted smile at Lin Qiushi.

The door was about to be closed - Lin Qiushi's brain responded very quickly, he raised his hand and threw the key in his hand directly out of the door.

Immediately after a swipe, the door was heavily locked.

Lin Qiushi knelt on the ground and coughed loudly.

The temperature in the room began to rise sharply, and along with the thick smoke, Lin Qiushi felt the gradual withdrawal of consciousness, and he clearly realized that he seemed to be dying.

In the face of death, Lin Qiushi's heart was in an indescribable peace. His cheeks were on the ground, looking at the blackened wall, countless scenes flashed through his mind like a lantern.

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

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

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

...

Tick, tick, the sound of water droplets.

Lin Qiushi felt a strong thirst, he opened his mouth slightly, and spit out a word with difficulty: "Water..."

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

"Awake?" came a voice.

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

Cheng Yixie held a cotton swab with water on it.

"Yixie?" Lin Qiushi saw him a little confused, "I, am I not dead?" He still remembers the scene before he passed out.

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

"I'm Qianli." The other of the twins opened his big eyes innocently, "Qiu Shi, he didn't recognize me, he only thought about my brother."

Lin Qiushi: "..." Why does something so normal change its 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 stunned, and immediately sat up from the bed: "What?!"

Cheng Qianli said: "Well...it's all right now, don't worry, as long as we don't die directly, with our body's ability to recover, we'll be fine soon."

Lin Qiushi: "No, no, why did something happen to Nan Zhu?" 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 okay?"

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

Lin Qiushi nodded, indicating that he knew.

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

"Wake up?" Cheng Yixie said, "How do you feel?"

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

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

Lin Qiushi sighed. Although it was due to excessive blood loss, Lin Qiushi didn't feel any pain in his body. In fact, apart from the strong sense of weakness, there was nothing else unusual.

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

Cheng Yixie said: "He's fine, he should be able to leave the hospital after training in a few days." He paused for a moment, then whispered, "Brother Ruan opened the door again and rescued you."

"Open the door again?" Lin Qiushi said, "But aren't the mother and daughter guarding 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 come back early to close the door, Ruan Nanzhu went crazy. He took out his weapon without hesitation and restrained Luo Qianshan, forcing Luo Qianshui to enter the mirror again, and lead the mother and daughter away again. Then he 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, and most of his skin was burned.

Fortunately, such an 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 left the world with the key before being burned to death.

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

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

Cheng Yixie was stunned for a moment when he heard the words, and then his expressionless face showed a little helplessness, and then nodded lightly.

Lin Qiushi had the feeling that he was teasing a child, and laughed.

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

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

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

Lin Qiushi called his name: "Nanzhu."

Ruan Nanzhu's lips moved slightly and hummed softly.

Lin Qiushi said: "Thank you." After he said this, he felt a little inappropriate, and he said no thanks. If it wasn't for Ruan Nanzhu, he might not have been able to get out of the door. He may have jumped from the upstairs outside the door at this moment, 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 so weak now that even a few words have exhausted all his strength.

Lin Qiushi's eyes moved to Ruan Nanzhu's hand. Ruan Nanzhu's hand was very beautiful, with fair and slender fingers. When it was weakly placed on the side of the bed, you could see the angular muscles and bones on it. At this time, these beautiful hands were wrapped in bandages. This seemed to be just a microcosm of the wound on Ruan Nanzhu's body. It was hard to imagine how many such wounds were hidden under Ruan Nanzhu's hospital clothes.

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

Behind him, Ruan Nanzhu's breathing gradually became even, and he seemed to fall asleep again.

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

Cheng Yixie stood behind Lin Qiushi, although the sentence had no beginning or end, he still understood what Lin Qiushi meant.

"As long as he wants to, it's worth it," he said.

Lin Qiushi laughed: "That's right."

"Let's go." Cheng Yixie said, "You should also 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.
