    Chapter 130 Another World

    The familiar big bed, the familiar decoration, and everything in front of him is exactly the same as the rental house in Lin Qiushi's memory. Lin Qiushi took a deep breath, forced himself to calm down, and tentatively walked towards the living room.

    "Meow..." A weak cat meow suddenly sounded in the living room, Lin Qiushi raised his eyes, and in the corner of the sofa, he saw Chestnut who was squatting on it, looking very cute. Chestnut tilted his head, his green eyes stared at Lin Qiushi quietly, and his mouth was meowing, as if urging Lin Qiushi to do something.

    Lin Qiushi was all too familiar with the sound of chestnuts. He looked at the cat bowl where chestnuts were eating. Sure enough, the cat food in the chestnut cat bowl had been eaten clean. It was urging Lin Qiushi to add food to it. .

    If this were in reality, the first thing Lin Qiushi would do was to pour cat food for chestnuts, but he knew clearly that he had entered the door, so he did not act directly, but walked around the room first.

    The furnishings in the house were exactly the same as when he moved out of here. There were even a few freshly washed clothes hanging on the balcony, and fresh fruit bought in the refrigerator. Everything in the house was full of the breath of life.

    Lin Qiushi turned around in the room, walked slowly to the front door, held the door handle, and gently twisted it open.

    A gap exposed by the door was enough for Lin Qiushi to see the scene behind the door.

    What caught Lin Qiushi's eyes was a long corridor with residents with house numbers on both sides, which was no different from what Lin Qiushi remembered.

    Chestnut started to meow again, it jumped off the sofa, walked to Lin Qiushi's feet, and began to rub Lin Qiushi's ankle with his body, Lin Qiushi lowered his head, looked at Chestnut for a long time, then slowly bent down and stretched out his hand. He touched the cat in front of him.

    Soft hair, warm skin, have to say, at the moment when he hugged the chestnut, Lin Qiushi breathed a sigh of relief. He held the chestnut in his arms, scratched its chin with his hand, and called out the chestnut. name.

    Chestnut made a purring sound, and his expression was very enjoyable. Lin Qiushi hugged it and turned to the kitchen to get cat food and filled the cat bowl.

    Chestnut jumped out of Lin Qiushi's arms, stood in front of the cat bowl and began to eat seriously.

    Lin Qiushi looked at the way it was eating, but he remembered something. He took out his mobile phone from his pocket and dialed a number. However, after the call was made, it showed that Lin Qiushi dialed an empty number. Hearing the voice on the phone, Lin Qiushi's palms overflowed with sweat. After he checked his address book, many bad thoughts popped up in his mind. Lin Qiushi has almost all the names in the address book, but there are a few key people missing... The names of all Obsidian members are gone, including Ruan Nanzhu naturally.

    But just now Lin Qiushi called Ruan Nanzhu's phone, but it showed that the phone did not exist at all.

    The suffocation was churning in Lin Qiushi's chest, and he had many bad guesses. In the end, Lin Qiushi changed his pajamas, left the room, took the elevator all the way down, and arrived at the gate of the community.

    It was midsummer at this time, it was just six o'clock in the evening, people just got off work, and there was a busy scene of people coming and going everywhere.

    Lin Qiushi stood at the gate of the community, took a taxi, and went straight to a place in the suburbs.

    The taxi driver was a very talkative middle-aged man, and he kept talking about some things. If it was normal, Lin Qiushi would respond with a few words, but today he was so confused that he didn't say anything from the beginning to the end. Lips pursed into a tight curve.

    An hour later, the taxi arrived at the place Lin Qiushi said.

    Lin Qiushi paid the money, got out of the taxi, and saw the villa standing in his field of vision. The villa was still what he had imagined, with orange light emitting from the window, and it could be known that someone was moving inside. But this did not make Lin Qiushi feel relieved. In fact, the ominous feeling in his heart became more and more intense.

    Lin Qiushi took a few steps forward, walked to the door of the villa, and pressed the door of the villa.

    "Which one?" After a while, a strange man's voice came from the door.

    "I..." Lin Qiushi said, "It's me, Lin Qiushi, I want to find Ruan Nanzhu."

    The other side was quiet for a moment, and said, "You have found the wrong person, there is no one named Ruan Nanzhu here."

    The moment he heard this sentence, Lin Qiushi's brain exploded with a buzzing sound. He used his last self-control to force himself to calm down and said, "Sorry, can you open the door? I have something very important..."

    The door was opened, and an unfamiliar tall man appeared in front of Lin Qiushi. He looked at Lin Qiushi and said, "What's the matter with you?"

    Lin Qiushi said, "I...my friend used to live here..." He considered his words, "they are called Ruan Nanzhu, and Chen Fei, Yi Manman..."

    "I'm sorry," said the man, "you're in the wrong place, there's no one here."

    Lin Qiushi saw the scene in the villa through the gap behind the man. What shocked him was that all the furnishings in the villa were the same as he remembered, and even the color of the carpet on the floor, Lin Qiushi clearly remembered.

    But although the scenery was the same, the person Lin Qiushi was looking for was gone.

    "Are you all right?" Probably because Lin Qiushi's face was too ugly, the man looked at him and asked.

    Lin Qiushi forced a smile and said, "I'm fine... I'm sorry to bother you." He turned around and left here.

    The man watched him walk away, frowning slightly, obviously wondering what Lin Qiushi was doing.

    After Lin Qiushi left the villa, he took a taxi back to the city. He sat in the taxi with a dazed expression, unable to accept what was happening in front of him for a while.

    Ruan Nanzhu, who entered the door with Lin Qiushi, was gone.

    No matter how normal the world seems to be, this one thing alone is enough to make Lin Qiushi fall into an unspeakable panic.

    Back in the community, standing at the door watching people come and go, Lin Qiushi felt like he was abandoned by the world. He should have been full of the atmosphere of the market, but it made him feel that he was completely out of tune with the surroundings.

    Lin Qiushi reached into his pocket and found a pack of cigarettes he had already smoked in his pocket. He stared at the cigarette in his hand, took out a cigarette, and put it in his mouth.

    The smell of tobacco spread in the mouth. Unlike the sweetness of candy, it was a bit choking. Lin Qiushi only took a sip, then stopped, put out the cigarette irritably, and threw it into the trash can next to him.

    At this moment, Lin Qiushi's cell phone suddenly rang. He took out his cell phone and took a look. After seeing the phone number displayed on it, he fell silent.

    On the phone number was a name, a name that should not have appeared - Wu Qi.

    Lin Qiushi stared at the name on the phone screen and slowly pressed the call button.

    "Hey, Qiu Shi, where are you?" Wu Qi's carefree voice came over.

    Lin Qiushi's throat swallowed: "I'm at home, you..." He didn't know what to say for a while.

    "Why are you still at home? Didn't you invite me to dinner? Come down quickly." Wu Qi said strangely.

    Lin Qiushi said, "I invited you to dinner?"

    Wu Qi said: "Yeah, didn't you say that you have barbecue tonight! Hey, you won't forget it, right?"

    Lin Qiushi: "...Where are you now?"

    "I'm at the gate of your community." Wu Qi said, "What's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"

    Lin Qiushi said: "I'm fine, I'll be here soon." He hung up the phone and looked outside the community, and sure enough he saw Wu Qi standing at the door of the community with his head down and playing with his mobile phone.

    Lin Qiushi put the phone in his pocket and walked towards Wu Qi quickly.

    "So fast?" Wu Qi said after meeting Lin Qiushi, "You don't have to run here, it's so hot, you're sweating profusely."

    Lin Qiushi hummed, but his eyes fell on Wu Qi's face. With the same appearance, the same temperament, and even the same tone of voice, the person in front of him was indeed Wu Qi. He walked in front, talking to Lin Qiushi about what happened in the company, and repeatedly told Lin Qiushi to remember to check his body.

    Another dense layer of sweat floated on Lin Qiushi's forehead, but he was cold all over, and even the sweat was cold sweat.

    Going to the BBQ place outside the community, Wu Qi sat down and ordered.

    Lin Qiushi didn't speak much along the way. Wu Qi saw his strangeness and asked in doubt, "Qiushi, are you alright?"

    Lin Qiushi said, "I...it's fine."

    "Is it too hot? Or is it unwell?" Wu Qi turned to look at the boss, ordered a few more bottles of cold beer, opened it skillfully and filled Lin Qiushi with a glass, "Drink this cool and cool."

    Lin Qiushi said, "Wu Qi, what's the date today?"

    Wu Qi said, "No. 17, what's up?"

    Lin Qiushi exhaled: "Nothing."

    The ordered dishes were brought up quickly, and Wu Qi also saw that Lin Qiushi was in a wrong state. He asked suspiciously, but seeing that Lin Qiushi was unwilling to answer, he had to give up.

    Lin Qiushi was in no mood to eat, all his attention was on the road next to him, but until they finished eating and left, what should have happened did not happen.

    Back then, when Lin Qiushi entered the door for the first time, he came out of the door and came to this barbecue restaurant with Wu Qi. Same date, same time, but the car accident that should have happened on the road didn't happen. Everything was so peaceful, as if Lin Qiushi's memory had been delusional, and he became a strange fantasist, inventing things that didn't exist at all.

    "Wu Qi." On the way back, Lin Qiushi suddenly said, "How is your girlfriend doing recently?"

    "She? Why did you mention her suddenly?" Wu Qi was a little inexplicable, but he answered Lin Qiushi's question honestly. He said, "She's fine, is there anything wrong?"

    Lin Qiushi said: "...It's okay."

    Wu Qi: "Hey, you are very strange tonight, what's the matter?" He frowned and looked at Lin Qiushi, his eyes were full of worry, "Is it really uncomfortable? You must tell me if something happens. what."

    Lin Qiushi nodded and said yes.

    Wu Qi sent Lin Qiushi downstairs and left after Lin Qiushi went upstairs. Lin Qiushi returned to his door, took out the key to open the door, but looked a little dazed.

    All this is ridiculous, Wu Qi is still there, and his girlfriend is fine, but why is Ruan Nanzhu gone? Lin Qiushi changed his shoes and entered the room. He saw a backpack on the sofa. He thought of something, walked quickly to the backpack, and took out the contents of the backpack.

    After seeing what was inside, Lin Qiushi heaved a sigh of relief, only to see that in addition to the usual supplies, there were three very special items in his backpack. The first is a simple notebook, the second is the skeleton of a baby skeleton, and the third is a silver gun. Seeing these three things, Lin Qiushi has a real feeling - he is indeed passing through the door, where he is The environment is inside the door, but the inside of the door is almost the same as the environment in which he lives.

    This is so scary, Lin Qiushi thought, but since this is inside the door, why are Ruan Nanzhu and Obsidian people gone? Where did they go... Why is he the only one in this door? And since this is the case, does it mean that the rules of the door are invalid?

    The only person left will not be in an invincible state. Once there is a mistake, he will face the ending of death.

    Chestnut walked slowly to Lin Qiushi's side and jumped into his arms. Lin Qiushi stroked chestnut's soft hair with his hand, and looked at chestnut's well-behaved appearance, and was a little dazed.

    Ding-dong, ding-dong, the hour hand pointed to ten o'clock, and the clock hanging on the wall made a crisp sound. It was already dark outside, and there were only sparse lights left, and it looked a bit popular.

    Lin Qiushi picked up the remote control and turned on the TV, ready to choose a channel. When changing channels, he saw a familiar face on TV... Tan Zaozao.

    Tan Zaozao in the advertisement is wearing a long red dress, elegant and beautiful, like a beautiful blooming flower, just like Lin Qiushi looked like when she first saw her.

    Wu Qi was alive, Tan Zaozao was also alive, and all the dead people around him came back. Lin Qiushi didn't know what this meant.

    Everything that seems to be bland is full of a strange sense of disobedience, like the deep sea before the storm, and the tiny ripples that sway, seem to herald some terrifying truth.

    There was a monotonous sound on the TV, and the light was projected on Lin Qiushi's face. Lin Qiushi hadn't spent such a night alone for a long time.

    Since he and Ruan Nanzhu established their relationship, they almost slept together, and when they opened their eyes at night, they could see each other's faces.

    At this time, however, the silence returned again.

    There was only a cat named Chestnut who accompanied Lin Qiushi.

    As the night got darker, the lights outside the house went out one by one. Lin Qiushi sat on the sofa and fell asleep unconsciously.

    Ding-dong, ding-dong, the hour and minute hands coincide, twelve o'clock is here.

    The TV that originally had the program suddenly began to flash white snowflakes, and the sizzling sound inside woke Lin Qiushi from his dream. He opened his eyes and found that the TV in front of him had actually changed to a different channel. It's just that this channel doesn't have a channel logo, as if it's playing some costume drama, and the picture stays on a very old staircase.

    This scene felt a little familiar. Lin Qiushi vaguely felt as if he had seen it somewhere, but he couldn't remember it for a while, until the screen turned, and a man with an axe appeared in front of Lin Qiushi.

    With a ferocious smile on his face, he walked up the stairs all the way, and his footsteps finally stopped outside a certain room. He stretched out his hand and slapped the wooden door in front of him heavily: "Wang Xiaoyi, open the door, Wang Xiaoyi, Open the door-"

    "Help, help—" A woman's terrified cry for help came from inside the house.

    The man heard this voice, but his expression became more and more hideous. He laughed loudly, and the axe in his hand slammed and slammed heavily on the wooden door in front of him. A huge gap, at the other end of the gap, revealed a woman's face full of tears, she said: "Help, help—"

    The man was about to swing the axe again, but the axe got stuck on the crack of the door. Seeing this, Wang Xiaoyi quickly pushed open the door and rushed out of the house. The man's attention was on the axe. Yi ran away.

    Wang Xiaoyi ran staggeringly in the corridor, desperately calling for help as he ran. When the atmosphere was extremely tense, a certain door suddenly opened and Wang Xiaoyi was rescued in, and what appeared behind the door... turned out to be Lin Qiushi His face, standing beside Lin Qiushi, was clearly Ruan Nanzhu, who met him for the first time.

    That's right, what appeared on the TV was what happened in the first door.

    At that time, a man in their team went crazy, and it was Lin Qiushi who rescued the girl who was being hunted down.

    However, as soon as the picture on the TV changed, the girl who had been rescued by Lin Qiushi was cut in half by a shovel the next moment. The red, red and white liquid spilled on the snow, her eyes were wide open, and the resentment inside made people feel cold across the screen.

    Lin Qiushi tried to change the channel, but the remote control didn't work. He even unplugged the TV, but all the pictures continued.

    The picture on the screen was frozen at the moment when Wang Xiaoyi died. Suddenly there was a knock on the door. Lin Qiushi sat on the sofa and didn't move. Like smashed.

    The sound was very loud. It stands to reason that even if Lin Qiushi didn't open the door, other people would definitely be disturbed, but the knocking on the door continued for several minutes, and no one responded. Lin Qiushi looked out the window and saw that all the lights in the community were all extinguished, as if at twelve o'clock, this place became another world.

    The person knocking on the door became more and more impatient. Lin Qiushi slowly got up and walked to the door. Through the cat's eye of the door, he saw the person outside... It was a man with an axe, the same as what Lin Qiushi saw on TV just now. Exactly the same.

    He seemed to know that Lin Qiushi on the other side of the door was looking at him, so he started to smash the door even harder. Through the cat's eyes, Lin Qiushi could even see the blood dripping from his axe.

    Lin Qiushi took a step back, he took a deep breath, turned around and entered the kitchen, he picked up the knife hanging on the wall to defend himself, but when he returned to the living room again, he found that the floor had been soaked with a layer of dark red blood. Lin Qiushi looked around and saw that on the wide open TV, blood was bubbling from the inside to the outside, and Wang Xiaoyi, who was already dead in the picture, started to twitch, and she was split into two halves. His head was lifted from the ground, his pale eyes stared straight at Lin Qiushi outside the TV, his mouth opened in a weird arc, and his hand stretched out towards Lin Qiushi.

    Seeing this scene, Lin Qiushi couldn't help swearing swear words, but the bad situation didn't stop there, because Wang Xiaoyi's blood-stained hands actually broke through the TV barrier and came out from inside.

    At the same time, the man who smashed the door with an axe actually started to split the security door of Lin Qiushi's house. The security door that should have been very strong was forcibly split by him, and his eyes looked through the gap. Xiangguo gave a weird and creepy laugh when he caught Lin Qiushi standing in the living room.

    To be honest, if it was an ordinary person, I would have been scared crazy when I saw such a scene, and I would have jumped from the upstairs without them doing anything.

    But Lin Qiushi had seen a lot of those terrifying pictures, so he still seemed very calm at this time. He stood far away from the TV, staring at the door that was about to be smashed. A thought popped into his mind, Not sure if this idea will work.

    The killed Wang Xiaoyi was about to crawl out of the TV, and the man outside the door chopped off another axe. When he chopped down, the axe in his hand seemed to be stuck on the door. Lin Qiushi saw this. Jing directly opened the door in front of him, rushed out the door, turned around and ran towards the elevator.

    The man was stuck for a moment because the axe was stuck. Lin Qiushi rushed into the elevator and pressed the button on the first floor. The moment the elevator was closed, the man appeared at the door of the elevator-Lin Qiushi even came out of the gap. , saw his twisted face.

    "Fuck." Lin Qiushi held the knife in his hand and wiped his face with his hand. He held the phone and dialed Ruan Nanzhu's phone number again. Nan Zhu's urgent voice came from the other end of the phone, and he said, "Qiu Shi, is that Qiu Shi?"

    "Nanzhu - Nanzhu -" Lin Qiushi was covered in sweat, he asked hastily, "Where are you? Where are you?"

    "I'm in the door." Ruan Nanzhu's voice was a little vague, and he said, "Qiu Shi, how are you over there, is there anything?!" Although he did not explain his situation, it was vague, but Lin Qiushi was Hearing the woman's resentful cry on the other end of the phone, he knew that Ruan Nanzhu's current situation might not be very good, so he hurriedly said, "I'm fine, don't worry about me, I'll hang up first, you have to be good Yes!" He was worried that Ruan Nanzhu would be distracted by calling him, so he hung up the phone directly.

    Ding dong, the elevator reached the first floor, Lin Qiushi held his breath and watched the elevator door slowly open in front of him.
