Chapter 126: Leaving the Ship
Finally holding the key in his hand, Lin Qiushi quickly returned to the corridor where Ruan Nanzhu and Gu Longming were. But when he reached the corridor again, he only saw an empty stool and sheets scattered on the ground. Ruan Nanzhu and Gu Longming, who were supposed to be tied to the stool, disappeared.
Seeing the scene in front of him, cold sweat broke out on Lin Qiushi's forehead instantly, his mind turned rapidly, many thoughts appeared in it, and then he turned and ran away in the direction of the restaurant.
When Lin Qiushi arrived at the door of the restaurant, before entering, he heard a creepy chewing sound coming from inside.
Hearing this voice, Lin Qiushi had a very bad premonition. He didn't dare to walk in directly, but moved slowly to the edge of the window and looked inside.
I saw that all the remaining living people appeared in the restaurant, even including Gu Longming, who had no response before. They were around a round table, holding those pale-colored dead fish in their hands, and they were stuffing them into their mouths. The addicted look is creepy. And sitting next to Gu Longming was Ruan Nanzhu, who Lin Qiushi was most worried about.
Ruan Nanzhu was also eating fish. Although his movements were not that rude compared to the people around him, he was indeed picking up fish with chopsticks and putting it into his mouth to taste.
Lin Qiushi looked at the scene in front of him and didn't know how to react for a while. He looked at the fish and meat on the table for a moment, and a strange longing rose in his heart, just as Ruan Nanzhu said before. That way... it seems that the flesh of the dead fish in front of you is not so unpalatable.
This thought flashed through Lin Qiushi's mind, and he was acutely aware that his state was not right. He looked down at the key in his hand. Knowing that something was wrong, Lin Qiushi gritted his teeth and entered the restaurant.
People in the restaurant eating fish with their heads lowered, completely unaware that a person walked in beside them, all their attention was on the table in front of them, and they didn't care about what was happening around them. This was convenient for Lin Qiushi. He walked around the dining room, but couldn't find what he was looking for, so he thought of another place - the galley of the boat.
The dining room and the kitchen are the only two rooms on this ship that will not change. Lin Qiushi has found the key and guesses that the door to leave here should be one of the two rooms.
There is nothing in the dining room, the rest is the kitchen.
When he was about to leave the restaurant, Lin Qiushi looked at the people who were eating fish near the round table. When he saw a certain detail, there was a deep coolness on his back.
I saw that some green scales appeared on the face of someone who started eating fish. These scales were attached to his skin and spread from his neck to his cheeks. It seemed that this change had been going on for a while. If it keeps going, don't know what will happen in the end.
But no matter what, Lin Qiushi didn't want to see it.
So he walked out of the restaurant quickly, and finally glanced at Ruan Nanzhu.
Ruan Nanzhu still lowered his head, casually eating the fish in front of him. His indifferent appearance made Lin Qiushi feel uncomfortable, but Lin Qiushi didn't dare to delay any longer, because he found that he didn't seem to hate fish so much anymore, and even He swallowed involuntarily.
Lin Qiushi turned and walked out of the restaurant and went to the kitchen next to him.
At this time, there was no one in the kitchen, and the whole room was filled with stale dead fish. The chopping board, the ground, and the bucket were all full of fish, and the room was still filled with that disgusting stench. But Qiu Shi was not in the mood to worry about this any longer. He lowered his head and started rummaging around the house to find what he wanted.
Soon, under a huge barrel, Lin Qiushi found a black tunnel, he climbed into the tunnel and saw a black iron door at the end of the tunnel, this iron door was so refreshing, Lin Qiushi Without caring about anything else, he used the key in his hand to open the lock on the door, and watched a tunnel full of light appear in front of him.
Then, Qiu Shi bent down and picked up the note that fell on the ground, and without looking at it carefully, he put the note into the pocket of his shirt.
Then he turned around and headed towards the dining room.
The people in the restaurant continued to eat fish. This time, Lin Qiushi walked directly to Ruan Nanzhu, and he called his name: "Zhu Meng."
Ruan Nanzhu looked up at him, "Lin Lin."
"Will you come with me?" Lin Qiushi asked.
Ruan Nanzhu said: "But I want to eat fish."
Lin Qiushi said: "I know, you can come with me while you eat. It only takes a while. I found more fish in the kitchen."
Ruan Nanzhu was quiet for a moment, but still agreed with Lin Qiushi's proposal. He stood up with a plate with fish and said, "Really?"
"Really." Lin Qiushi answered affirmatively.
Ruan Nanzhu then followed Lin Qiushi to the outside.
Lin Qiushi breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this, knowing that Ruan Nanzhu hadn't been tortured too deeply, otherwise he would have to be rough with Ruan Nanzhu. However, going rough is the worst choice, because according to Lin Qiushi's own estimation - he can't beat Ruan Nanzhu at all, which is very miserable.
Ruan Nanzhu obediently followed Lin Qiushi to the kitchen, and was really happy to see a room full of dead fish, but while he was happy, Lin Qiushi pushed him into the tunnel where the door was located.
Ruan Nanzhu, who was pushed down, looked inexplicable, stood below and looked up and said aggrieved: "What are you pushing me for?"
Lin Qiushi didn't answer, just went down the tunnel with Ruan Nanzhu, took him by the hand and led him to the exiting tunnel, pointed to the inside and said, "There are a lot of fish in it, you will know when you go in and take a look."
"Really?" Ruan Nanzhu was a little suspicious.
"Really." Lin Qiushi nodded.
Ruan Nanzhu laughed, but he really believed in Lin Qiushi, turned around and entered the tunnel. As soon as he entered the tunnel, his figure disappeared. Lin Qiushi looked at Ruan Nanzhu who had disappeared and heaved a sigh of relief. He raised his wrist and looked at his watch, gritted his teeth, turned around again, and returned to the restaurant.
In fact, Lin Qiushi also felt that his time was running out, because the fish in the kitchen also had a strong attraction to him. These stinky meats that should have been disgusting, in Lin Qiushi's eyes at this time, but changed It was delicious, and he could only use all his will to resist this idea.
Facing Gu Longming, Lin Qiushi lost the tenderness towards Ruan Nanzhu. He chose the easiest way, walked behind Gu Longming, who was addicted to fish, and knocked him unconscious with a knife, and directly resisted him on his shoulders. When carrying Gu Longming away, Lin Qiushi thought for a while, and then took the girl named Xiaomo with him. As for the others...he was really helpless and could only do his best to save one by one.
After taking the two to the entrance of the tunnel, and throwing them into the tunnel, Lin Qiushi was out of breath and climbed into the tunnel.
He didn't dare to linger in it any longer, because he realized that he, too, was beginning to want to eat those dead fish. Lin Qiushi doesn't know what will happen to those who continue to eat fish in the restaurant, but if you think about it, it is by no means pleasant.
Following the tunnel full of light, Lin Qiushi returned to reality.
When he sat back in the living room and smelled the familiar smell and felt the warm air, he felt the beauty of life again.
Ruan Nanzhu also appeared beside Lin Qiushi, his face was very ugly, he rushed into the toilet, and then the sound of vomiting came from the toilet.
Lin Qiushi sighed and thought, fortunately he didn't eat those dead fish, otherwise he would have vomited with Ruan Nanzhu at this moment.
About 20 minutes later, Ruan Nanzhu came out of the toilet. He vomited for a long time and took a shower. At this time, his lower body was wrapped in a towel, and his wet hair was rubbed unpleasantly.
"Are you okay?" Lin Qiushi was eating candy, and his mood gradually calmed down following the sweetness spreading on the tip of his tongue.
Ruan Nanzhu shook his head to indicate that he was fine.
"Why is this happening?" Lin Qiushi was a little puzzled, "Why did everyone suddenly eat fish? Isn't the monster already dead?"
Ruan Nanzhu said: "It may be that there are not enough people."
Lin Qiushi: "Huh?"
Ruan Nanzhu said: "Not enough people died, we solved the puzzle too quickly." He sighed, and also picked up a candy and stuffed it into his mouth, "I have only encountered such a situation once, At that time, an old hand took me, and there was a powerful character in it, and before the death started, he found the key."
Lin Qiushi: "..."
Ruan Nanzhu: "Then everyone entered an abnormal state."
Lin Qiushi: "...How could it still be like this?"
Ruan Nanzhu said: "This kind of situation is very rare, and I didn't realize that we would encounter it." Everyone aims to be able to go out quickly, who would think that there will be problems if there are fewer dead people? Moreover, most of the doors suffered heavy casualties, and even this door was the key they found only after three people had died.
Unexpectedly, the number of deaths that did not meet the hidden requirements inside the door.
Lin Qiushi said, "Then why am I not affected?"
"You can hear sounds that others can't, right?" Ruan Nanzhu said, "This is a gift from the door to you."
Lin Qiushi continued to listen.
"I can also see things that others can't." Ruan Nanzhu said, "Everyone has light."
Lin Qiushi: "Light?" He vaguely remembered that Ruan Nanzhu seemed to have mentioned it once before, but he didn't take it to heart.
"Yes, light." Ruan Nanzhu said, "The brighter the light on the body, the less affected it is by the door. You are the one with the brightest light I have ever seen, so you are very suitable for the door."
Lin Qiushi didn't know what to say for a while, but judging from Ruan Nanzhu's words, this should be a good thing.
He was indeed not affected by too many negative emotions inside the door. Many people, including Ruan Nanzhu, had to wait a few days to come out of the door, but he didn't need it.
This is Lin Qiushi's best talent.
"Let's have a big dinner tonight." Lin Qiushi looked at Ruan Nanzhu's unpleasant face and said, "Go?"
Ruan Nanzhu nodded, agreeing with Lin Qiushi's proposal.
After that, Lin Qiushi went back to the room to contact Gu Longming and asked him how the situation was over there.
Gu Longming replied that he had vomited all the contents in his stomach, and now he felt disgusted just thinking about the taste of the fish, and said that he might not eat fish for a long time. Lin Qiushi laughed and teased: "You were eating deliciously in it at the time."
Gu Longming: "Isn't that the same as being hit by evil... In other words, what landmine did we step on, and it suddenly became like this?"
Lin Qiushi told Gu Longming the theory that Ruan Nanzhu said, Gu Longming was stunned, and said, "Is this still possible?" Equal to no.
Then the two agreed on a time to meet again. Lin Qiushi told Gu Longming the address of the city. Of course, he did not specify the exact location, but only said that they would pick him up when Gu Longming arrived.
The dinner was a heavy Hunan dish. Originally, the restaurant's signature was fish head with chopped peppers, but when Lin Qiushi and Ruan Nanzhu saw that page of the menu, they silently turned the page.
Ruan Nanzhu still looked like he didn't have a good appetite. He was eating the food in front of him one after another. Obviously, what happened inside the door had a serious impact on him.
Lin Qiushi was quite happy to eat. He hadn't eaten hot food for a long time in the door, almost all of them were instant noodles, compressed biscuits, etc. It would be very comfortable to improve the food now.
They went home after dinner, and just saw Cheng Qianli and Cheng Yixie sitting in the room discussing something. Lin Qiushi walked in and realized that the two of them had just come out of a low-level door.
Cheng Yixie was summing up the mistakes that Cheng Qianli made in the low-level door. Cheng Qianli hugged his toast and listened eagerly. When he saw Lin Qiushi back, he quickly got up and said, "Qiushi, you are back, Sister Lu. The crucian carp soup is stewed, do you want to drink some?"
As soon as they heard the word "fish", both Lin Qiushi and Ruan Nanzhu's expressions changed, and they immediately declined Cheng Qianli's kindness.
How could Cheng Yixie not know the little abacus in his younger brother's stomach, and said coldly behind Cheng Qianli: "Why, I only drank three bowls, now I'm going to drink the fourth bowl? Don't tell me later. You want to go to the toilet."
Cheng Qianli fainted in an instant. From what he knew about his brother, he knew that his brother could do things like not let him go to the toilet.
In desperation, Cheng Qianli could only look at Lin Qiushi for help.
Lin Qiushi looked at the nose and nose and looked at the heart, just as if he didn't see it, the twins were about to enter the advanced door, and it was also a good thing for Cheng Yixie to give the neurotic Cheng Qianli more classes.
Three days later, Gu Longming flew to the city.
Lin Qiushi and Ruan Nanzhu went to pick him up in person.
Lin Qiushi originally thought that Gu Longming, who was a muscular man inside the door, should also be strong outside the door, but who knew that there was a gentle-looking young man with glasses who looked young, at least Lin Qiushi guessed that he should be taller than himself. much smaller.
"Gu Longming." The young man extended his hand to Lin Qiushi.
"Lin Qiushi." Lin Qiushi took his hand and said, "How long have you been waiting?"
"It didn't take long." The young man whose real name was Ye Niao laughed. He glanced at Ruan Nanzhu, who was standing beside his eyes, who was full of aura, expressionless and never said a word, and asked in a low voice, "Who is this?"
Lin Qiushi smiled and said, "Your sister-in-law."
Ye Niao: "..." He twisted his expression heavily, obviously comparing the appearance of Zhu Meng laughing and lifting his skirt inside the door with the expressionless handsome man in front of him. This strong contrast made Ye Niao into a brief confusion.
Lin Qiushi had already guessed Ye Bird's reaction. To be honest, his initial reaction was probably similar to Ye Bird's. Ye Niao finally slowed down and looked at Lin Qiushi and said with difficulty: "Brother, you have such a good eye."
Lin Qiushi finally couldn't help it and laughed.
Ruan Nanzhu also hooked the corner of his mouth.
Ye Niao looked at Ruan Nanzhu with a slightly dazed expression.
"Let's go, go back first." Lin Qiushi said, "Knowing that there are new people joining, they specially cooked meals."
"Thank you." Ye Bird said gratefully.
Then Ye Niao got into Lin Qiushi's car, and the three returned to the villa together. On the way back, Ruan Nanzhu casually asked Ye Niao for some personal information.
Ye Niao's answer was very sincere, not much different from the content of Ruan Nanzhu's investigation.
Ye Niao was born into a family of feng shui, but he studied Western medicine at university. After graduating, he joined the public security department. He said in the car that he used to be a staunch materialist...until he knew the existence of the door.
"So why did you almost die?" Lin Qiushi asked curiously while waiting for the red light.
"I'm on a mission." Ye Niao said, "and then suddenly entered the door. After coming out of the first door alive, he was hit in the abdomen by the gangster." He was taken to the hospital, and the doctor took out the child After the bombing, he also sighed, saying that Ye Niao was really lucky, but it was only a flesh wound when he was hit in the abdomen, and no part of the internal organs was injured. This is simply incredible.
It is conceivable that if Ye Bird did not successfully pass the gate at that time, the final outcome should be that he was seriously injured and died.
"But why are you pretending to be a female high school student?" Lin Qiushi looked at him, remembering the hot-eyed appearance of Ye Bird wearing a small skirt when he and Ye Bird first passed the door.
"Isn't it easy for female high school students to relax their vigilance?" Ye Niao said, "Look, you've been tricked." He originally said this with a smile, but after he finished speaking, he found Ruan sitting next to him. Nan Zhu glanced at him expressionlessly, then the smile instantly solidified on his face, and quickly explained awkwardly: "Of course, with my sister-in-law here, other women are nothing, and it doesn't matter if the female high school students are here... …”
Ruan Nanzhu glanced at him and ignored him.
Ye Niao broke out in a cold sweat by Ruan Nanzhu. How could he think that Zhu Meng, who likes to act in the door, would look like this outside the door. If it wasn't for Lin Qiushi's affirmative attitude, he would have thought they were joking. .
And this contrast reached its climax when Ye Niao returned to the villa and knew that Ruan Nanzhu was the boss of Obsidian.
Ye Niao quietly asked Lin Qiushi in the kitchen, why did Brother Ruan wear women's clothes?
Lin Qiushui looked at him, but seemed to see the curious self at the time, he said, "Why don't you ask him yourself?"
"How dare I." Ye Niao said, "Brother Ruan looks so scary..."
"Is it scary?" Lin Qiushi said.
"It's scary." Ye Niao said, "It's like the most dangerous criminal I've ever seen."
Lin Qiushi: "Well..." He was noncommittal.
Ye Niao said: "So..."
"So why should I wear women's clothes?" Ruan Nanzhu's voice came from behind the two of them, Ye Niao shivered and looked at Ruan Nanzhu in horror.
Ruan Nanzhu laughed, those beautiful eyes curved a gentle arc: "I want to know the answer is very simple."
Leaf Bird: "..."
Ruan Nanzhu's smile gradually cooled down: "Don't you know if you try it yourself?"
Ye Bird: "But..."
Ruan Nanzhu: "What? You can wear women's clothes in front of Lin Qiushi, but not in front of me?"
Ye Niao cast a look of help at Lin Qiushi in horror, Lin Qiushi pretended not to see it.
So Ye Niao became the next Ruan Nanzhu's tossing target again. Others in Obsidian cast pity on him, but there was still a little gloating in this pity, and Lin Qiushi was even worse - God knows what he will do again. don't want to be a poor little dumb girl anymore.
After hosting a welcome party for Ye Bird, Obsidian welcomes a new member, but they don't know how far this new member can go. But some things turned out to be less important, at least that's what Lin Qiushi thinks so far.
As time passed, it was time for Cheng Qianli and Cheng Yixie to enter the door.
The atmosphere in the villa became tense again, and almost no one in the whole room spoke loudly, but to Lin Qiushi's surprise, Cheng Yixie did not announce his clues until he entered the door.
At this time, Lin Qiushi was not a naive newcomer. From Ruan Nanzhu's attitude, he understood why Cheng Yixie did this.
Because Cheng Yixie's clues may be special.
The kind of clues that must be obtained after only one person survives, such clues can withstand a ghost attack in the next door.
As for how Cheng Yixie got this clue, Lin Qiushi didn't know. The only thing he knew was that the day before Cheng Yixie and Cheng Qianli entered the door, Cheng Yixie and Ruan Nanzhu had a big fight again.
In the end, the two parted ways.
Cheng Qianli stood downstairs and looked a little depressed. He said to Lin Qiushi, "If only I could be smarter."
Lin Qiushi touched his head and comforted in a low voice, "You are fine now."
Not everyone can be as smart as Ruan Nan Zhucheng Yixie, but unsmart people also have unsmart ways of living, and they can't be perfect in everything.
Moreover, Cheng Qianli may not have realized that it was his existence that gave Cheng Yixie the courage to move forward.
Cheng Yixie deeply loves his younger brother, they are each other's strongest spiritual support.
