    Chapter 129 The Fourteenth Door

    After entering the door twice, Ruan Nanzhu can already be sure that the clues of the eleventh door will not produce new changes.

    The tenth door is too difficult for them to play a third time, and two times are enough, they can no longer risk their lives. If Cheng Yixie hadn't left, then they might get a third clue about the eleventh door, but unfortunately, there was such an accident.

    Life is like this, full of impermanence and variables.

    Ruan Nanzhu said that Ye Niao also had light on her body, so she was very suitable for the door. And Ye Niao, as Ruan Nanzhu expected, quickly integrated into the life in Obsidian. His personality was lively and free, so that the atmosphere in the villa would not be too dull.

    Two years is not too long, not too short.

    Since leaving Obsidian, Lin Qiushi has never seen Cheng Yixie again. Cheng Yixie has thus hidden his traces and disappeared in front of everyone neatly, as if he had never appeared.

    Disappearing with him, there was also Zhuo Feiquan, who often came to visit before. He came here once after Cheng Qianli's accident, but he sat in the living room carelessly and said, "Where's that idiot Cheng Qianli? Why isn't he here?" No one was there. answer his question.

    Maybe it was because the expressions of everyone because of his question were too ugly. Zhuo Feiquan seemed to have thought of something. After leaving, he never appeared again, and he and Cheng Yixie disappeared from everyone's sight.

    For two years, Lin Qiushi still did not stop to brush the door.

    High-level and low-level, all go in, the frequency is about once every two weeks. Sometimes Ruan Nanzhu would be with him, and sometimes he was alone.

    During this period, Lin Qiushi once again saw Ye Niao's women's clothing... Forget it, not to mention it, it hurts my eyes just thinking about it.

    There are more people entering the door, and have seen all kinds of people, the strong and the weak, and the various ways of life in the face of death, which always makes people feel emotional.

    Ruan Nanzhu never gave up contacting Cheng Yixie, but there was no response until one day in the second year, they knew that Cheng Yixie would definitely appear somewhere.

    It was Cheng Qianli's death day.

    Lin Qiushi and Ruan Nanzhu went to the cemetery where Cheng Qianli was buried, looked for a corner, and after waiting for a while, they saw a figure appear in front of Cheng Qianli's tombstone.

    The man was wearing a mask and hat, so he couldn't see his face clearly, but Lin Qiushi only glanced at it and was sure that the man who appeared in front of them was Cheng Yixie.

    Lin Qiushi said, "Are we going to go there?"

    Ruan Nanzhu shook his head, "Let him be alone for a while."

    Lin Qiushi sighed.

    Cheng Yixie stood in Cheng Qianli's place for a long time, and finally put the flower in his hand in front of the tombstone. When he was about to leave, Lin Qiushi couldn't help calling out his name: "Yixie!"

    Cheng Yixie's body froze and turned to look at Lin Qiushi.

    Lin Qiushi walked quickly to him. He had a lot to say to the child in front of him, but he didn't know where to start.

    "Long time no see." Cheng Yixie spoke first. The eyes he looked at Lin Qiushi were icy. Compared with the indifference caused by his previous personality, his eyes at this time were like an icy lake, deep and dark, and the chill was so deep that he could not find any temperature.

    "Long time no see." Lin Qiushi said.

    Ruan Nanzhu also walked in front of Cheng Yixie, he looked at Cheng Yixie with his eyes, but said nothing.

    "I still have something to do, I have to go first." Cheng Yixie raised his watch and looked at it, his tone was cold.

    Lin Qiushi said, "You..." He wanted to ask Cheng Yixie if he was doing well, but he felt that this question was really redundant, because everyone could see that he was not doing well.

    Cheng Yixie had a bad time. His hair was much whiter, and although it was covered with a hat, it was still very obvious.

    "Go." Ruan Nanzhu finally said nothing, he said, "If you have something, call me, we are all here."

    Cheng Yixie nodded, his face still unmoved, turned around and left.

    Lin Qiushi and Ruan Nanzhu looked at his back and were both silent. In fact, they didn't know how to comfort Cheng Yixie. Even after a year, the influence of certain things has not weakened in the slightest, and may never have weakened.

    Lin Qiushi slowly peeled off a candy and put it in his mouth, feeling the sweetness spread on the tip of his tongue, he reached out and held Ruan Nanzhu's hand and said, "Let's go."

    The two of them left the cemetery.

    Lin Qiushi felt relieved when he could see that Cheng Yixie was still alive. He didn't dare to ask for too much. But what he didn't expect was that a few days later, they actually received a letter from Cheng Yixie. The letter briefly mentioned the clues to the eleventh door he got.

    "What I got is a special clue." In the letter, Cheng Yixie said, "The clue is only two words, life and death."

    Lin Qiushi saw the contents of the letter and read out two special words: "Life...Death?"

    Ruan Nanzhu frowned and fell into thought.

    Their clues were incomprehensible, but Cheng Yixie's clues were life and death, which made Lin Qiushi have some kind of strange conjecture. He said, "Is everyone's eleventh door the same?"

    Ruan Nanzhu's fingers rubbed the letter and looked at the words "life and death": "It's possible."

    "Did your senior provide any information when he entered the eleventh door?" Lin Qiushi looked at Ruan Nanzhu.

    "No, I was still a novice at that time." Ruan Nanzhu replied, "Where do you want to get the eleventh door so long ago."

    There was no way, there was no one around them who had passed the eleventh door. In fact, Ruan Nanzhu and Lin Qiushi can safely pass through the tenth door, which is already the best among them.

    Life and death, life and death, what does the life and death in the clue mean? If it is another door, they can calmly think about what happened after entering the door and then analyze what happened, but this is a difficult door that will kill people if you are not careful. Even Ruan Nanzhu would not dare to ask him .

    Although there is still a year to go, they are already starting to prepare for the entrance.

    The two looked up a lot of materials, about the association of life and death, from Eastern legends to Western myths, from Yama Temple to Anubis...

    Although don't know if these things have any effect, it is better to do something than to sit still.

    In two years, Ye Bird passed his seventh door. Lin Qiushi asked him if he wanted to skip grades, but Ye Niao thought about it, but refused. It means that jumping the door is useless, and it is still worth it.

    Lin Qiushi admired his prudence and self-control. After all, not everyone can easily refuse such a temptation.

    The exact time of the eleventh door is March 27th. Because the level of the number of doors is already very high, they can now clearly perceive the specific time to enter the door.

    Ruan Nanzhu drew a circle on the calendar on the 26th of March with a serious face, and marked a small heart beside it.

    After seeing it, Lin Qiushi said to him, "You marked it wrong, you only entered on the twenty-seventh."

    Ruan Nanzhu said: "That's right."

    Lin Qiushi was inexplicable.

    Ruan Nanzhu said: "Twenty-six should be done several times."

    Lin Qiushi: "..." He reacted for a few seconds before he realized that Ruan Nanzhu was telling a dirty joke, and was a little speechless for a while. Since he and Ruan Nanzhu established a relationship, the kind of escape in Ruan Nanzhu's door His temperament became more and more obvious. Lin Qiushi felt that it was good, but the only bad thing was that Ruan Nanzhu often ate his own vinegar.

    "Do you like Zhu Meng or Ruan Nanzhu?" Ruan Nanzhu asked Lin Qiushi when he was outside the door.

    Lin Qiushi can only say that he likes Ruan Nanzhu

    When I got inside the door, the answer was about to be changed, and then Zhu Mengxiu put on his upper body and said, "But yesterday a man named Ruan Nanzhu contacted me and said you love him."

    Lin Qiushi: "...Can't I love both of them?"

    Ruan Nanzhu: "Yes, I approve that you love both."

    Lin Qiushi: "..." Alas, why do you have so many scripts in your hands?

    The time for the eleventh door was gradually approaching, and the atmosphere among the crowd began to be solemn again.

    Don't think about it, the difficulty of this door will be very high, so Lin Qiushi carefully thought about how to deal with the things behind him before entering. But after thinking about it, he found that he seemed to be basically a person who had nothing to worry about. His only friend, Wu Qi, was gone, and he hadn't been in touch with him for a long time. Except for the group of friends in the villa, there was really nothing to say goodbye to. .

    But what Lin Qiushi didn't expect was that Ruan Nanzhu actually took him back to his house one month before entering the door.

    Lin Qiushi always thought that Ruan Nanzhu's house would have a relatively deserted atmosphere, but he did not expect that as soon as he arrived at the house, a beautiful middle-aged woman appeared, jumped on Ruan Nanzhu's body and began to cry.

    Ruan Nanzhu was unmoved, slowly pushed the woman away, and called out, "Mom."

    Lin Qiushi stood awkwardly beside him.

    Then Lin Qiushi got a general understanding of Ruan Nanzhu's family structure. His family is in good condition. He has an excellent older brother, a strict father, and a charming mother. Except for the better conditions, everything in this family seems very ordinary, which is simply out of tune with Ruan Nanzhu.

    Ruan Nanzhu calmly introduced Lin Qiushi's identity, saying that he was his lover.

    Lin Qiushi was a little nervous at first, but he saw that they accepted Ruan Nanzhu's statement calmly. Later, Lin Qiushi found out that their family members were similar to Yi Manman's, thinking that Ruan Nanzhu had a mental problem. ...

    "My children are all well, but they are a little delusional." Taking advantage of Ruan Nanzhu's time to go to the toilet, his mother wiped her tears and said to Lin Qiushi, "He has this disease since he was a child, thank you, it must be you Being by his side makes him feel better..."

    Lin Qiushi didn't dare to say a word, thinking that he couldn't tell Ruan Nanzhu that he was delusional too. But it's understandable if you think about it carefully. After all, in the eyes of people who don't have a door, the time they enter the door is just a moment of daze.

    It's just that after the daze, the reaction was a bit intense. Some people cried, some laughed, and some people jumped directly from the upstairs...

    It can be seen that Ruan Nanzhu's family still has some feelings for him, but this feeling has become a burden to some extent. They can't understand what Ruan Nanzhu did, and why Ruan Nanzhu escaped from normal. life path...

    There is no such thing in the world.

    After eating, Ruan Nanzhu left with Lin Qiushi. He sat in the car, turned to look at Lin Qiushi, and asked, "Is there anything you want to say?"

    Lin Qiushi said, "What... your mother is so young?"

    Ruan Nanzhu: "..."

    Lin Qiushi laughed, "I have nothing to say." He paused for a moment and said, "They are all very good people." It's just that some things are doomed to be incomprehensible.

    Ruan Nanzhu said: "I'm actually quite lucky. My family always thought I was crazy and wanted to send me abroad for treatment, but they didn't force me."

    When it comes to mental illness, Lin Qiushi thinks of Yi Manman. Yi Manman is almost a typical obsidian. His family always thinks that he is crazy and mentally ill, and even tries to forcibly put him in a mental hospital. Compared with him, the attitude of Ruan Nanzhu's family is quite stark.

    "Yeah, in the eyes of outsiders, aren't we insane." Lin Qiushi said helplessly, "I cried and cried after being stunned for a while."

    Ruan Nanzhu said, "I haven't been home for four or five years."

    Lin Qiushi looked at him and knew the hidden meaning of Ruan Nanzhu's words. Sure enough, Ruan Nanzhu said slowly: "The connection is not so close. When you really lose it, you don't have to be so sad."

    Lin Qiushi laughed dumbly: "That's not necessarily true." He thought that when they were about to confirm their relationship, Ruan Nanzhu suddenly took a step back. At this time, he thought about it, probably this kind of thinking was at work.

    It's just that at this time they are both firm enough to be the pillars that each other can rely on.

    Half a month before entering the house, there was a carnival in the villa, and a group of people gathered to drink every day, making it very late.

    A certain emotion suppressed by this kind of carnival suddenly burst out one night. That day, everyone in the villa was crying, Chen Fei, Yi Manman, Lu Yanxue, and Ye Niao.

    Ye Niao said: "Lin Qiushi, you little bastard must come out!!"

    Chen Fei said, "Brother Ruan, I will wait for you to come out."

    Yi Manman and Lu Yanxue were so out of breath crying that they were speechless.

    Lin Qiushi's eyes were also a little wet, but Ruan Nanzhu was still hard-hearted and said, "Isn't this still dead, why are you crying?"

    "Woo woo woo." But everyone who drank too much completely ignored Ruan Nanzhu's words and continued to vent their uneasy emotions.

    Lin Qiushi was lying on the sofa, his brain eroded by alcohol was blank, but even so, he felt an indescribable happiness, some people cared about his life and death, some people cared about his life and death, this feeling of being cared about is It was so touching that even burst into tears involuntarily.

    Everyone was crying, making noise, and the house was in chaos.

    Ruan Nanzhu walked to Lin Qiushi's side, sat down, then took Lin Qiushi into his arms, and pointed at the tip of Lin Qiushi's ear, he said, "Your ears are like elf."

    Lin Qiushi looked at Ruan Nanzhu stupidly.

    Ruan Nanzhu, who drank a little wine, was also very good-looking. His indifferent expression was diluted by a slightly drunk expression, the waves in his eyes flowed, and his lips were red with some moist water stains, which looked extraordinarily delicious.

    Lin Qiushi reached out and touched Ruan Nanzhu's thick eyelashes, and said with a smile, "It's so long."

    Ruan Nanzhu looked down at him.

    Lin Qiushi leaned against Ruan Nanzhu's arms and felt the temperature of the other person's skin. He said, "I used to think this was enough, but now..." There was a little sadness in his eyebrows, "I want to grow old with you, Wouldn't that be too greedy to think so?"

    "No." Ruan Nanzhu said, "Everyone thinks this way, it's normal." He leaned over to Lin Qiushi's ear, kissed the tip of Lin Qiushi's ear, and said in a hoarse voice, "Me too."

    Lin Qiushi smiled brightly when he heard the words, and he said, "That's great, are you afraid?"

    Ruan Nanzhu said: "I used to be afraid, but now I'm not afraid anymore."

    They have each other.

    Lin Qiushi's heart also calmed down, and he said, "I'm not afraid either."

    They stared into each other's eyes, and then smiled tacitly. Ruan Nanzhu hugged Lin Qiushi and went directly to the second floor.

    Seeing that the two of them were leaving, Ye Niao shouted, "I'm leaving now? I'm not happy yet..." Chen Fei patted his head after he finished speaking, and Chen Fei said, "Young man, stay awake, others are not. Talking about love."

    Ye Bird: "..." It's really unfriendly to single dogs here.

    It was like a doomsday carnival for more than ten days. In the week before the 27th, everyone's emotions gradually calmed down.

    Ruan Nanzhu found Chen Fei and began to explain some things.

    Chen Fei resisted at first, but Ruan Nanzhu said something to calm him down, he said, "I can't guarantee that I can come out, if I leave, you have to keep Obsidian going, they are still there, you want protect them."

    Chen Fei reluctantly agreed.

    Unlike Ruan Nanzhu, Lin Qiushi had nothing to do, so he went to help Lu Yanxue cook.

    Lu Yanxue's expression was always low, she wanted to reluctantly cheer up, but Lin Qiushi could see that she was reluctant to smile.

    Lin Qiushi also felt distressed when he saw her like this, so he euphemistically said, don't laugh if you don't want to laugh, he understands her mood at this time.

    When Lu Yanxue heard this, she couldn't hold back any longer. She jumped into Lin Qiushi's arms and began to cry. She said, "I can't think about it, I can't think about the fact that you and Brother Ruan are gone. Look, I don't dare to think about what happened to you..."

    Lin Qiushi stroked her hair as if to appease a broken child. He didn't know what to do, so he could only say, "It's alright, everything will be alright."

    Lu Yanxue cried uncontrollably.

    On March 25th, Cheng Yixie came back. His return made everyone feel at a loss for a while, and they were filled with deep worry under their joy.

    Cheng Yixie has grown taller and thinner. In two years, he has completely grown into a mature man.

    He knew when Lin Qiushi and Ruan Nanzhu entered the door, so this time, he was probably worried that this was the last time.

    A group of people didn't dare to talk about old things, they just asked Cheng Yixie how well he had been in the past two years.

    Cheng Yixie responded in a different way, but Lin Qiushi noticed that there was a necklace on his neck. This chain Lin Qiushi had seen on Zhuo Feiquan's neck...

    "Where's Zhuo Feiquan?" Ruan Nanzhu asked the question Lin Qiushi wanted to ask.

    "He's dead." Cheng Yixie's tone was very flat, as if death could no longer bring him any excitement, "I left last year, but I didn't get through the tenth door."

    Ruan Nanzhu stopped talking.

    Cheng Yixie sat here for an hour and then got up to leave. Lu Yanxue asked him why he didn't come back, but he smiled and spit out three words: "I don't deserve it."

    Lin Qiushi listened to these three words, and his heart hurt as if he was stabbed by a needle. He looked at Ruan Nanzhu, but saw Ruan Nanzhu's lips pursed into a tight arc, and he did not say any words of retention.

    After Cheng Yixie left, Ruan Nanzhucai said, "There is always a price to be paid for taking shortcuts."

    Lin Qiushi knew what he meant.

    Ruan Nanzhu also wanted to say welcome back to Obsidian to Cheng Yixie, but he remained silent after all. Because Cheng Yixie has gone against his principles, some things are the bottom line, no matter what the reason, the bottom line cannot be broken.

    On the 26th, Lin Qiushi and Ruan Nanzhu lay on the bed for a day.

    They were talking love words, looking at each other with eyes full of love, the two fell asleep hugging each other, the sun went down and rose again, and finally the most important day came.

    On March 27, Lin Qiushi and Ruan Nanzhu entered the door together.

    It's a sunny spring day, the breeze is blowing, and the sun is shining.

    Lin Qiushi and Ruan Nanzhu ate breakfast together, carried the prepared things on their backs, and sat by the bed, chatting while eating candy, until the surrounding atmosphere suddenly changed.

    The person sitting opposite Lin Qiushi suddenly disappeared. Lin Qiushi knew that it was time to come. He stood up with his backpack on his back, pushed open a door, and saw the corridor he was already very familiar with.

    On the long corridor, ten doors have been sealed with seals, and only two doors are left standing at the end of the corridor.

    Lin Qiushi stepped into it slowly, walked to a door, took a deep breath, grabbed the door handle and slowly opened it.

    The picture reversed, and a strong suction brought Lin Qiushi into the door. After he could clearly see the surrounding environment, his breathing stopped.

    After going through so many doors and seeing so many bizarre scenes, there was no infiltration from the environment in front of him. A layer of cold sweat broke out on Lin Qiushi's back, and countless goose bumps appeared on his arms involuntarily - he appeared in a seemingly ordinary bedroom. Lin Qiushi clearly remembered that it was in this bedroom that he met Ruan Nanzhu in reality for the first time.

    That's right, Lin Qiushi returned to his former residence, the rental house that he had retired for a long time.

    Lin Qiushi thought with a wry smile, this is simply a nightmare within a nightmare.

    The author has something to say: here, the eleventh door~
