    Chapter 136 Ruan Nanzhu

    That night, Lin Qiushi's spirit was in an extremely tense state. His reason told him that those pictures were fake, but Ruan Nanzhu's scorched face kept appearing in front of him. The most terrifying thing is that Lin Qiushi began to have doubts about the Ruan Nanzhu who texted him.

    Does the person on the other end of the phone really exist? If something happened to Ruan Nanzhu, would he choose to hide it and continue texting himself to pretend to be alive? There is a great possibility of such doubts, after all, Ruan Nanzhu once had such a precedent. Lin Qiushi was holding his mobile phone in the dark night, as if he was holding a bomb that could blow him to pieces at any time.

    The thought originally buried in the back of his mind, but because of the terrifying picture just now quickly fermented, Lin Qiushi remembered the agreement between him and Ruan Nanzhu - if one party had an accident, he would not ask the other party to live.

    At this moment, Lin Qiushi's mobile phone suddenly vibrated, he picked it up quickly, and saw a new text message appeared on the screen, which was sent by Ruan Nanzhu, who was thinking of him.

    Ruan Nanzhu said: I'm fine, Qiu Shi, how are you doing?

    Lin Qiushi lowered his eyes, typed out two words, deleted them again, and finally just replied: I'm fine, you don't have to worry.

    After a while, Ruan Nanzhu texted back: what happened to you? Did something happen?

    Lin Qiushi sighed. The two of them had a tacit understanding. Even if he didn't say it, Ruan Nanzhu had already guessed something. Although his answer was vague, how could Ruan Nanzhu's IQ not understand it. Just when Lin Qiushi sighed, Ruan Nanzhu sent another text message, and the content of the text message turned out to be: Qiu Shi, I saw you inside the door.

    Lin Qiushi: "..." He looked at the text on the screen and didn't know what to say for a while.

    Are you really Akashi? do you really exist? Another piece of information from Ruan Nanzhu, but the above question hits Lin Qiushi's soul directly: I am also thinking about this issue now.

    Lin Qiushi replied, "Then do you have an answer?"

    "No." Ruan Nanzhu said, "There is no answer."

    Lin Qiushi asked again, "Are you afraid?"

    Ruan Nanzhu paused for a while before returning to Lin Qiushi. He said, "I'm not afraid of anything, I'm just afraid that I can't die with you."

    Lin Qiushi laughed when he saw the content of the text message, but at the same time, he suddenly had great courage in his heart. He typed slowly and said, "Ruan Nanzhu, will I come to find you?"

    In the face of Lin Qiushi's problem, if Ruan Nanzhu hesitated a little, Lin Qiushi would not continue, because the difficulty of the two would be superimposed when they were together.

    But Ruan Nanzhu returned quickly, and there was only one word on it: good.

    Seeing Ruan Nanzhu's answer, Lin Qiushi's tired face instantly showed a bright smile. He laughed out loud, tears oozing from the corners of his laughing eyes, and then shoved the phone into his pocket and faced himself. The building behind him pointed his middle finger and scolded rudely: "Don't fucking try to scare me, I'm going to find him now! Stupid thing!"

    The most terrifying thing about life is that there is no hope. Lin Qiushi has thoughts, so this endless long night seems to have a temperature, and it no longer makes people feel the cold to the bone.

    In the second half of the night, Lin Qiushi was attacked by several waves of ghosts, but they were all near misses, and he managed to survive.

    When the warm morning sun burst out from the ground, Lin Qiushi was already lying on the bed in his own home and fell asleep, as if everything that happened last night was just a terrifying dream.

    The next day, Lin Qiushi slept well all day and ate a big meal. Then he went to the school he went to yesterday in good spirits. He sat in the cafeteria and started to play Sudoku on his mobile phone.

    While playing, he also thought about whether there was anything special about the door that Ruan Nanzhu passed through. Couldn't he also see Ruan Nanzhu's former friends? Thinking about it, Lin Qiushi couldn't help laughing. He couldn't control his expression, because as long as he thought of Ruan Nanzhu, the corners of his mouth would twitch.

    The time of the day passed very fast, the sun slowly sank into the horizon, and night followed.

    After nightfall, worried that he would be kicked out by the school security, Lin Qiushi found a hidden corner in the school and hid. Watching the noisy school gradually quiet down, he could only hear the sound of insects one after another.

    The moon hung over the treetops, the stars filled the sky, but it was a clear night.

    Lin Qiushi sits on a stool by the school pond and feeds mosquitoes. There are many mosquitoes here, and Lin Qiushi's arm was bitten by a series of red bumps, which were painful and itchy.

    But this is completely trivial, and it is nothing compared to the excitement of meeting Ruan Nanzhu. Do not be better than the newlyweds, Lin Qiushi really felt this feeling at this time.

    Time passed minute by minute, and with the ticking of the watch on my wrist, it was twelve o'clock.

    Almost in an instant, the quiet but still peaceful atmosphere in the school changed instantly, and an unpleasant stench began to permeate the air. Although Lin Qiushi didn't have the keen sense of smell like Cheng Yixie, he recognized it. The source of this smell - this is the smell of decaying corpses. Even if it is very light, it still makes people feel bad in their hearts.

    Lin Qiushi walked towards the place he and Ruan Nanzhu had agreed on. They had made an appointment to meet on the playground. The playground is relatively open, and even if they encountered something, it was easy to avoid it.

    But when Lin Qiushi arrived at the playground, he found that the playground was empty and Ruan Nanzhu did not appear.

    Lin Qiushi's heart tightened abruptly, thinking if something happened to Ruan Nanzhu, suddenly there was a burst of hurried footsteps behind him. Before Lin Qiushi could react, someone grabbed his hand, and a young oriole-like voice sounded: "Lin Qiushi, come with me!"

    Lin Qiushi was pulled by him and ran forward. He turned his head and glanced behind him, and saw several highly corrupt corpses appeared on the road, limping towards them.

    "This way!" The boy held Lin Qiushi's hand and ran very fast. Because the night was too dark, Lin Qiushi couldn't see the boy's appearance for a while, until he passed a few street lamps, and he finally saw it clearly in the interlaced lights and shadows. The boy's beautiful androgynous face.

    "Nanzhu!" Lin Qiushi said in surprise, "You actually look like this at night?!" Thinking of Ruan Nanzhu's arrogant and indifferent appearance when he became an adult, his tone couldn't help but bring a smile, "You were so cute when you were young. ?"

    Hearing this, the young man turned his head and glared at Lin Qiushi, but his beautiful appearance was not at all deterrent. Ruan Nanzhu said, "You say I'm cute?"

    Lin Qiushi: "It's pretty cute."

    Ruan Nanzhu: "Please change the word thank you."

    Lin Qiushi laughed. Although they are running for their lives now, have to say that Lin Qiushi has never been so happy in the process of running for their lives.

    Ruan Nanzhu took Lin Qiushi to the side of the gym. The two stood there to rest for a while, and Lin Qiushi said, "What happened to those corpses?"

    Ruan Nanzhu's tone was a little indifferent: "Who knows, I have long forgotten this kind of small stuff. With so many doors, do I have to memorize a passerby carefully?"

    Lin Qiushi looked at Ruan Nanzhu. If an adult Ruan Nanzhu said this, he would probably think that Ruan Nanzhu was particularly handsome, but looking at the delicate little face in front of him, Lin Qiushi couldn't help but smile and said, "Okay, okay. , what we Nanzhu said was right."

    Ruan Nanzhu frowned and looked at Lin Qiushi: "Lin Qiushi, are you going to rebel?"

    Lin Qiushi: "I don't want to either."

    Ruan Nanzhu said, "I just got smaller—"

    "I know I know." Lin Qiushi said quickly, "I know that your body has become smaller and your soul has grown."

    Ruan Nanzhu gritted his teeth, how could he not hear the tone of Lin Qiushi's coaxing children.

    Just as the two were talking, a strange singing sound came from the jungle not far away, like a child reciting a nursery rhyme.

    "Damn." Ruan Nanzhu scolded swear words, "Why is this door—"

    Lin Qiushi said, "Which fan is this?"

    Ruan Nanzhu: "My eighth fan is a little devil who wants his life." When his words fell, Lin Qiushi heard a child's silver bell-like laughter, and then the wind was blowing in front of him, and the street lamps on the roadside went out one by one. shrouded in darkness.

    Ruan Nanzhu whispered: "This thing listens to the debate, you follow me, don't make a noise."

    Lin Qiushi knew that Ruan Nanzhu had excellent eyesight and could identify the road even in the absence of light, so he held Ruan Nanzhu's hand with his backhand, and Zhu Ruan Nanzhu led him forward.

    Ruan Nanzhu's people have small hands, and Lin Qiushi can wrap his entire hand with a little force.

    The rustling sound moved to their side. Ruan Nanzhu and Lin Qiushi walked very carefully, trying not to make any sound.

    Lin Qiushi heard the sound of breathing standing beside them, which was very close to them, and even Lin Qiushi felt the breath brushing his hand hanging on one side.

    But Ruan Nanzhu, who was walking forward, suddenly stopped. He seemed to see something, and held Lin Qiushi's hand slightly tighter.

    Lin Qiushi didn't dare to move casually. In fact, he could clearly feel that a pair of cold hands were on his shoulders. Those hands seemed to be children's, very small, and the temperature was like a piece of ice. That cold feeling was still being passed on to Lin Qiushi.

    And Ruan Nanzhu seemed to have encountered some kind of predicament. Lin Qiushi felt the slightest sweat on his palms. He couldn't see anything, but he also clearly felt the dignified atmosphere.

    However, just when everything seemed to freeze, a huge sound of broken glass came from the teaching building not far away from them, followed by the sound of heavy objects falling. The hands that were holding Lin Qiushi's shoulders disappeared instantly, Ruan Nanzhu Holding Lin Qiushi's hand, he turned and ran.

    The street lights that had been extinguished around them turned on again, and Lin Qiushi also saw the scene around them.

    In the darkness for only a few minutes, dense spider webs hung in the woods around them. In these spider webs, pairs of red eyes stared at them maliciously. At first Lin Qiushi thought it was a human head-sized person. Spiders, but after a closer look, found that it was clearly a huge spider with human heads hanging on its body. These human heads were not dead, and even their eyes were still rolling, and their eyes followed them away, their eyes were resentful and unwilling to move. open.

    Ruan Nanzhu's head was covered with cobwebs. When he was in a safe place, he breathed a sigh of relief and began to pull the white webs down on his body.

    Lin Qiushi stood behind Ruan Nanzhu, but he didn't get much on it. He also started to help Ruan Nanzhu to tear off the nets and said, "What was it that jumped downstairs just now?" , I am afraid they have both explained it now.

    Ruan Nanzhu said, "My friend."

    "You have a lot of friends." Lin Qiushi said, "in the door."

    "Forget it." Ruan Nanzhu sighed, "But it's enough to know that they are doing well in the door."

    What Lin Qiushi thought: "Have you seen your senior too? Since he disappeared in the twelfth door...that should provide some clues?" Whether it is the eleventh door or the twelfth door The door, as a past person, the clues he can provide should be very important.

    Ruan Nanzhu smiled bitterly: "How can there be such a good thing."

    Lin Qiushi: "Huh?"

    "I asked all the questions you could think of, but he said he didn't know." Ruan Nanzhu said, "Whether the eleventh door or the twelfth door, he has no memory."

    Lin Qiushi: "..." He didn't expect such an answer.

    "I didn't feel it when I was outside the door, but it's a bit strange to think about it now." Ruan Nanzhu said, "When the senior passed the eleventh door, I was still a newcomer and didn't ask too much, but other people Certainly the details of the eleventh door will be asked and recorded...but none of these."

    Lin Qiushi frowned: "We don't seem to realize this?"

    Ruan Nanzhu nodded: "It's like..."

    Lin Qiushi said, "It's as if the memory about this aspect has been deliberately downplayed?"

    It should have been a very important thing, but in their minds this important thing was forcibly erased, and no one felt that something was wrong. It was not until they entered the eleventh door that this kind of wrongness became abrupt.

    "Yeah, thinking about it now, how could it not be recorded." Ruan Nanzhu said, "Senior still has so many friends, do you want them to fail? There is also the twelfth door..."

    Lin Qiushi said, "What happened to the twelfth door?"

    Ruan Nanzhu said something Lin Qiushi didn't expect. He said, "After the eleventh door, the senior disappeared."

    "Missing?!" Lin Qiushi was stunned, "But didn't you say he's still at Obsidian?"

    "Yes, he is still in Obsidian." Ruan Nanzhu said, "but everyone began to downplay his existence, and so did I. He seemed to be an invisible person in the villa..." He considered himself The wording, trying to describe the weird feeling, "It's like we all know he's there, but we can't see him."

    After a moment of silence, Lin Qiushi said dumbly, "...Nan Zhu."

    Ruan Nanzhu looked up at Lin Qiushi.

    Lin Qiushi's throat moved and said, "I... remember that you didn't mention your senior's name."

    Ruan Nanzhu was stunned.

    Lin Qiushi said, "Do you still remember his name?" He had seen the predecessor's objects at Ruan Nanzhu, but now that he recalled carefully, he found that the appearance of those objects was almost forgotten. He felt that Ruan Nanzhu did not Not the kind of person who will forget the dead, unless, what this forgetting means...

    Ruan Nanzhu's expression was blank for a moment, he opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say the name from his mouth. But in the end, he failed. The name that he should have remembered couldn't be recalled from his memory. He only knew that he had such a senior, but he couldn't remember his name.

    "Is he really dead? Or..." Lin Qiushi felt a layer of goose bumps on his arm, he said, "Or has he passed the twelfth door?!"

    Ruan Nanzhu: "..." He closed his eyes, unable to answer Lin Qiushi's question.

    A strong wind was blowing around again, making the surrounding leaves rustling. Lin Qiushi heard the singing and knew that they were about to start running for their lives again.

    This time, Lin Qiushi took the initiative to hold Ruan Nanzhu's hand, and he whispered in Ruan Nanzhu's ear: "Don't worry, no matter where it is, as long as you are here, I am willing to go."

    Even hell.

    Ruan Nanzhu looked back at Lin Qiushi and showed a smile. His hair was slightly long, and his tender face and deep eyes formed a strange sense of coordination. He stood on tiptoe and printed a gentle word on Lin Qiushi's lips. Kiss: "Me too."

    Lin Qiushi laughed.

    Then there was another embarrassing escape. The two of them were like poor mice being teased under the claws of cats, trying their best to seize any chance to survive.

    And Lin Qiushi also thoroughly saw the horror of Ruan Nanzhu passing through the door. One night, they could not breathe for more than an hour, and they might even fall off the treetops when they stopped by the road. Some human body parts.

    At first, Lin Qiushi was still very nervous, worried that he would hold back Ruan Nanzhu, but later he became numb, and just followed Ruan Nanzhu to hide on the campus.

    Lin Qiushi said we can't leave school?

    Ruan Nanzhu replied that he is more familiar with the school environment, and it may be more troublesome to go out. If it is not necessary to go out, he thinks it is more reliable in the school.

    During the escape, Lin Qiushi met a lot of Ruan Nanzhu's friends, as well as some ghosts who had goodwill towards Ruan Nanzhu.

    This is like a large playground, there are resentments for resentment, revenge for revenge, and of course there are people who come to repay.

    It's no wonder that Ruan Nanzhu didn't have time to text Lin Qiushi before. Given the intensity of fleeing for their lives, it was lucky that the two of them could chat occasionally.

    It took a night like this, and when it was almost dawn, the two of them sat beside the cafeteria to rest.

    Ruan Nanzhu suffered a little injury, but it was not particularly serious. Lin Qiushi gave him a simple bandage. When the bandage was done, Ruan Nanzhu looked at Lin Qiushi and said, "You saw what kind of night I spent. , are you coming tomorrow?"

    Lin Qiushi smiled and nodded. Although his night was much better than Ruan Nanzhu, he still wanted to be by his side.

    "Okay." Ruan Nanzhu said, "As you wish." As Lin Qiushi agreed, he did not push Lin Qiushi out again. The two leaned against each other and waited for the dawn.

    Lin Qiushi said, "You were so thin when you were in high school." He bandaged Ruan Nanzhu, and naturally he saw Ruan Nanzhu's body. Although Ruan Nanzhu in high school was already tall, his body was not strong, and he was not as strong as an adult. He is not of a level at all.

    Ruan Nanzhu glanced at Lin Qiushi and said nothing.

    Lin Qiushi said, "You are really cute now."

    Ruan Nanzhu was expressionless: "Then do you like me now or me in the future?"

    Lin Qiushi: "..." He shouldn't bring up this topic. After all, Ruan Nanzhu is a person who can be jealous of his own women's clothes. Eating his own jealousy when he was young... he can't afford it.

    But under Ruan Nanzhu's stare, Lin Qiushi still sold his soul, he said, "I like it all!"

    Ruan Nanzhu: "Tsk."

    Lin Qiushi: "..." What do you mean by such a sorry expression.

    As it was almost dawn, they discussed the key again, but there was no clue. This door is so strange. The monsters that appear every night are almost different. Even if some monsters appear a second time, they are still nowhere to be found.

    No solution is really no solution, at least at this time, neither of the two found any rules from it.

    But what makes people more concerned is that they found that the monsters appeared in an order, and the order was based on the time before and after they entered the door, and gradually increased...

    "Is it going to go through all the doors?" Ruan Nanzhu speculated, "I want to see all the ghosts inside the door..."

    Lin Qiushi had another idea, he said, "It's not just ghosts."

    Ruan Nanzhu looked at Lin Qiushi.

    "There are old people." Lin Qiushi said, "Does this look like... a trial?"

    Ruan Nanzhu nodded.

    Lin Qiushi said: "Add and subtract, and finally return to zero. Hate kills, and love repays gratitude." He put his hand on his chin, watching the light morning light in the sky, sleepiness began to rise in his mind, Ruan Nan Zhu Xian didn't hold it, and fell into Lin Qiushi's arms.

    Looking at Ruan Nanzhu's sleeping face, Lin Qiushi lowered his head and placed a gentle kiss on his forehead, then closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.

    This was the most peaceful sleep Lin Qiushi had ever slept in since he entered the eleventh door. He knew that Ruan Nanzhu was by his side, and as long as it was dark, they would be able to see each other.

    And neither ghosts nor death could separate the two, and he was no longer afraid. The huge hole in his heart was filled with another gentle soul.

    The originally terrifying night, because of the existence of Ruan Nanzhu, made people look forward to it.

    Lin Qiushi finally understood that sentence, falling in love with someone seems to have a weakness and armor.

    They finally became each other's most solid support.
