    Chapter 79 The world outside the door

    Li Dongyuan's death seemed to be just an insignificant episode, and Bai Lu, who had changed leaders, quickly got back on the right track. However, those who were secretly dissatisfied with Jin Yurui still became hidden dangers. It didn’t take long for Lin Qiushi to hear that Bailu had split into two factions. It is the new white deer.

    For this matter, Ruan Nanzhu was not much surprised, obviously expected it long ago.

    "This may be a good thing for Jin Yurui." Ruan Nanzhu commented, "She has an unstable foundation now, and it is difficult to control everyone in Bailu, rather than keeping people who have dissent by her side. , it is better to let them set up another door."

    Lin Qiushi sighed. In fact, he thought it was quite incredible. Everyone is a person who may die at any time, and he still cares about fame and fortune. No matter how much contention there is, in the end it is nothing but a handful of loess.

    Ruan Nanzhu felt a little laughing when he heard Lin Qiushi's words, he shook his head and said lightly, "People are always greedy."

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

    Lin Qiushi felt that he understood what Ruan Nanzhu meant, 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 has been diluted.

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

    Chestnut's attitude towards Lin Qiushi recently has returned to the past, often meowing, jumping on Lin Qiushi's chest, humming, humming, and rubbing 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."

    Cheng Qianli saw Lin Qiushi like this and said, "Qiu Shi, do you know that when you tease cats, you are like a kind mother."

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

    Cheng Qianli: "..." You really know what to focus on.

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

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

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

    Lin Qiushi went to Ruan Nanzhu's bedroom and saw him sitting on the chair next to the window. The warm sunlight plated a touch of gold on his body, making him look like he was exuding a faint glow. .

    Lin Qiushi called him: "Nanzhu."

    Ruan Nanzhu opened his eyes, but there was no sleepiness in his eyes. It was still as deep and peaceful as lake water. He said, "Sit down."

    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 his eyes were a little more scrutinized, as if evaluating Lin Qiushi's physical condition, and soon, Ruan Nanzhu's assessment came to a conclusion, he said, "You can enter the door alone. already."

    Lin Qiushi was not surprised by what Ruan Nanzhu said. In fact, he was thinking about it recently. Since he came into contact with the door, he and Ruan Nanzhu have never been separated. Ruan Nanzhu has always taken him to protect him, and everyone in the villa, except Cheng Qianli, can be alone.

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

    Ruan Nanzhu said: "What do you think?"

    "Very good." Lin Qiushi replied, "I also think that I should try it alone." His eyes drooped slightly, but his eyes fell on Ruan Nanzhu's collarbone. Ruan Nanzhu's collarbone is very beautiful. The lines are beautiful, and the logo is like something that only exists 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, which has not disappeared yet. Lin Qiushi suddenly felt a little regretful, 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: "Really not afraid?"

    Lin Qiushi said, "I'm not afraid." He was indeed not afraid.

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

    Lin Qiushi looked into his eyes, the eyes of the two met, and Lin Qiushi heard Ruan Nanzhu speak softly.

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

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

    "How is it?" Ruan Nanzhu tilted his head slightly and asked, "As long as you speak..."

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

    Ruan Nanzhu was silent, and the lazy breath on his body instantly subsided, turning into a cold indifference like a wind and snow.

    Lin Qiushi knew what he had misunderstood, 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 from these injuries again. , if I could have been a little more powerful at that time... We can both come out of it intact. Besides, your body is not in good shape..."

    He talked a lot, like a long-winded old mother. But Lin Qiushi didn't dare to be long-winded. He was worried that he didn't make it clear, and that Ruan Nanzhu had misunderstood what he meant.

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

    Ruan Nanzhu was expressionless at first, but soon his eyes showed a little helplessness, he said: "Okay, I understand." His eyebrows twisted into a beautiful arc, "Why didn't I know you were like this before? Long-winded."

    Lin Qiushi: "Maybe I wasn't a qualified loving father at that time?"

    Ruan Nanzhu: "..."

    Lin Qiushi: "I'm joking..."

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

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

    Lin Qiushi wanted to laugh but dared not laugh.

    The difference between Ruan Nanzhu inside the door and outside the door was so great that Lin Qiushi was a little schizophrenic.

    Ruan Nanzhu turned around, walked to the side of the room, took out a key, bent over, 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 also introduce you to it, when you want to go in. , just tell me." He increased his voice, "This time, it's just you."

    Lin Qiushi nodded solemnly and took what was in Ruan Nanzhu's hand.

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

    Lin Qiushi turned around and left. When he went out, he saw Ruan Nanzhu returning to the chair and half-closed his eyes, looking 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 panic, the ground is panic, there is a crying boy in my family, he passed by this place and read it three times, and slept until the light of day.

    Lin Qiushi remembers that this seems to be a strange folk remedy. It is said that if the children in the family keep crying, they can write this sentence on a note, and then paste the note at the intersection where people often walk, and passers-by read it. More, the children at home can stop crying.

    I don't know if this is useful or not. Lin Qiushi put the clues in his pocket and wondered if he could take a job of his own on the Internet.

    I have to say that the Internet is really convenient, and you can quickly solve problems 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 message 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 letter and asked for some details. Learned that she is a student and is currently in her second year of high school, and the fourth door is in two weeks.

    Lin Qiushi showed the information to Ruan Nanzhu and asked if this person would do it.

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

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

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

    Lin Qiushi said, "What could go wrong?"

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

    Lin Qiushi nodded and said yes.

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

    Lin Qiushi hummed, indicating that he knew.

    After that, Chen Fei gave Lin Qiushi a lesson, and popularized the most common scams in the forum. One is to lie about the number of doors. This situation is more troublesome for others, because some people who take jobs do not Without the bracelet, you can only enter the door with the pick-up item. So when it is found that the number of doors is wrong, it is already too late, and even the person who issued the commission may claim to be the third door.

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

    "Yes, you can only go in." Chen Fei said bluntly, "I was tricked once before I joined Obsidian. After I entered, I wanted to kill that person. But now we have a bracelet, don't worry about this, if When you find out that you have been tricked, it is not the fourth door he said, just take off the bracelet."

    Lin Qiushi said: "Okay!"

    Chen Fei said: "There is another situation, it is impossible to prevent."

    Lin Qiushi: "What's the situation?"

    Chen Feidao: "Lied about your own information."

    The one-meter-eight strong man pretended to be a one-meter-six girl, in order to make people feel at ease to take this commission. Chen Fei said that such a situation is actually very common, so Lin Qiushi should be mentally prepared...

    Lin Qiushi: "...Is he not afraid that I will recognize the wrong person?"

    Chen Fei patted Lin Qiushi on the shoulder and sighed: "Don't think too much. In fact, we often recognize the wrong person, such as Brother Ruan. It is commonplace to make mistakes."

    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 to 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, let's all celebrate for you."

    Lin Qiushi: "...No way." What's there to celebrate.

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

    Lin Qiushi: "..."

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

    Cheng Qianli burst into tears at the dinner table and said, "Qiu Shi, go in peace, I will take good care of chestnuts."

    Lin Qiushi: "Can you stop talking?"

    Cheng Qianli: "Don't say it, from today onwards, Lizi is my daughter-in-law, and I will take good care of him!"

    Lin Qiushi: "Chestnut is a male cat."

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

    Lin Qiushi had nothing to say, and wanted to give Cheng Qianli a few blows on his head. Anyway, he was so stupid, and a few blows wouldn't be worse. And if it's like repairing a TV, take two shots and get it done.

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

    There are still two weeks 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 the Luo Qianshan who was with his sister Luo Qianshui in the door they just left.

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

    "This may be the importance of reading." Cheng Qianli couldn't help himself 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: "Huh."

    In fact, after coming out of the ninth door, Ruan Nanzhu investigated things 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 nine doors and whose relatives have passed away must be the focus of attention in the organization, or even the leader of the organization. There are only a handful of large-scale organizations in the country, and even fewer people have passed through the nine doors, 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 be very concerned, and successfully dug out their real identities.

    How Cheng Yixie dug up Luo Qianshan's real identity, Lin Qiushi didn't ask. Anyway, when he returned to the villa from outside one day, he saw a young man in his twenties sitting on the villa sofa, angry with him. One of the twins is arguing about something.

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

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

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

    Lin Qiushi: "..."

    "Cheng Qianli, don't think I'll believe you if you pretend to be innocent." The man said, "You're a little more tender than me playing a pig and eating a tiger!"

    Lin Qiushi listened to his conversation and 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 inexplicably and felt extremely wronged. He said: "Zhuo Feiquan, you are unreasonable. I already said that it has nothing to do with me. If you go to my brother, it must be my brother."

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

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

    Zhuo Feiquan: "Then I won't be exactly the same! No one has ever missed 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 grievance. He had done a lot of bad things that made his brother take the blame, but the person in front of him really wasn't the one who provoked him. So he looked up and saw Lin Qiushi, and quickly said: "Qiushi, tell him, there is something wrong with this person!"

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

    Cheng Qianli: "How do I know which little goblin he went to hang out with."

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

    And Zhuo Feiquan froze when he saw the identical faces of Cheng Qianli and Cheng Yixie: "Are you really twins?"

    Cheng Qianli said angrily, "I've told you more than three hundred times!"

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

    Cheng Qianli: "Can the twins be alike!" He glanced at his brother, originally wanting to be angry, but when faced with Cheng Yixie's eyes, he hesitated again and said, "Look, look at , the little goblin you provoked back."

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

    Cheng Yixie went to the kitchen to put the dishes away, washed his hands, and then came out slowly and looked at Zhuo Feiquan: "Is 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 time, he didn't look like a sixteen-year-old boy at all, and he said coldly, "What qualifications do you have? to ask me?"

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

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

    Zhuo Feiquan left angrily, but Cheng Yixie didn't stop him, but told Cheng Qianli that the next time he encounters such a person, ignore him and don't even open the door.

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

    Cheng Yixie said with a sneer, "Brother Ruan and Qiu Shi were almost gone because he was gone. I am soft-hearted for not tossing 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 there is no help behind him.

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

    Cheng Yixie didn't speak and went into the kitchen. After a while, the smell of food came from the kitchen.

    Cheng Qianli said: "What happened in 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 strong emotions, and he was not like the kind of person who could seek revenge. Maybe it was because of what Zhuo Feiquan did in the door that Cheng Yixie was really annoyed?

    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 the password and clothes, and began to wait for the entry time.

    A few days later, one afternoon, Lin Qiushi felt the 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.

    The author has something to say:

    I woke up suddenly last night, thinking that I had overslept, so I got up and turned on the computer to start coding, but when I saw that the time was 2:30 in the morning... I silently turned off the computer and climbed back to bed. I feel like this state often happens when I go to school hahahaha
