    Chapter 140 Fanwai (1) What Is He?

    Ruan Nanzhu knew that Lin Qiushi seemed to realize that his little secret was returning to reality some afternoon after they left the door.

    That day, Ruan Nanzhu was fine. He was sitting on the balcony and flipping through a book, and just came across a sentence that he found interesting, so he read it out to Lin Qiushi, he said: "When you stare at the abyss, the abyss is also staring at you. ."

    Lin Qiushi was sleeping, but after listening to this sentence, he said to Ruan Nanzhu in a daze: "What you do to the abyss will always reflect on yourself, right?"

    "Yeah." Ruan Nanzhu didn't think too much, bowed his head and kissed Lin Qiushi.

    Then he heard Lin Qiushi say, "Should I unzip my pants at you..."

    Ruan Nanzhu was dumbfounded for a moment, and then laughed lowly. At this time, he understood that Lin Qiushi knew everything.

    "Yeah." Ruan Nanzhu replied, "So, you have to be nice to the abyss."

    At first, because all the attention was on Ruan Nanzhu, Lin Qiushi did not notice the strangeness in life. Later, after Ruan Nanzhu looked back, these strangenesses slowly surfaced like icebergs hidden under the water.

    In Lin Qiushi's memory, he does not smoke, and even if he carries a cigarette, it is convenient to pass it to others at work. But after leaving the door, he actually became addicted to smoking, and he could even smoke several packs a day, and he didn't even have the slightest sense of disobedience to smoking for the first time.

    And the family that had an indifferent relationship with him actually started to contact him frequently. The words were mostly worried about him, and Bai Ming, who was obviously friends with Ruan Nanzhu, seemed to have known him for many years...

    Lin Qiushi saw these things in his eyes, but he didn't go into it.

    It doesn't matter whether the answers to some questions are obtained or not. As long as Ruan Nanzhu is by his side, he feels that it is enough. As for what Ruan Nanzhu is...

    Lin Qiushi stretched out his hand and pinched the earlobe of his lover beside him, leaned to his cheek and whispered, "Dear, what the hell are you?"

    Ruan Nanzhu was reading a book, raised his eyes to look at Lin Qiushi, and suddenly laughed, he said, "I am your milk tea."

    Lin Qiushi: "..."

    Ruan Nanzhu said, "Don't you ask me why it's your milk tea?"

    Lin Qiushi raised his eyebrows: "I was a virgin when I heard this joke last time, and now I'm a mother of three children."

    Immediately, the two laughed, and the atmosphere was full of joy.

    Ruan Nanzhu originally thought that Lin Qiushi would continue to ask questions, but Lin Qiushi stretched and got up from the bed, said to take a bath, and ended the topic.

    Ruan Nanzhu looked at Lin Qiushi's back and opened his mouth to make a mouth shape. If Lin Qiushi turned around at this time, he would find that Ruan Nanzhu was saying something to him - I am the door.

    I am the door, yes, what Ruan Nanzhu said is that I am the door.

    He is the twelfth door.

    But in fact, Ruan Nanzhu didn't realize it before experiencing the night of the Hundred Ghosts Night Walk. His memory was perfect, as if he was really the leader of Obsidian, an ordinary person who started to enter the door when he was a teenager, cut through countless obstacles, and finally passed the tenth door with difficulty. Ruan Nanzhu has no other memory about the door, and firmly believes that he is an ordinary human being.

    This kind of firm belief was suddenly broken until the night of the Hundred Ghosts Night that he and Lin Qiushi spent over.

    At that time, the days were getting longer and longer, and the nights were getting shorter and shorter, and the time between Ruan Nanzhu and Lin Qiushi also entered the countdown. When the night no longer came, Ruan Nanzhu thought that he would never see Lin Qiushi again. He was going crazy and wanted to find the key to leave here, but he vaguely discovered that some things seemed to be out of his control...

    What he didn't tell Lin Qiushi was that he also saw ghosts during the day, at first because he was afraid of Lin Qiushi, but later because he found that these ghosts would not hurt him. Terrifying ghosts exist in every corner, and even when Ruan Nanzhu opened his suitcase, he would see a terrifying box girl hidden in it-although she looked very sad when she was pulled out by Ruan Nanzhu. It's innocent.

    From the initial surprise with faint fear to the indifference and numbness behind, it took Ruan Nanzhu about half a month.

    When he realized that he would never see Lin Qiushi again, Ruan Nanzhu was able to kick the female ghost squatting on the head of his bed with a cold face, and told her not to squat on top of his head in a cold tone, so that the president would not Gao... I don't know if it was his illusion. After he said this, he actually saw a little grievance on the female ghost's face.

    Ruan Nanzhu thought angrily, what are you wronged, I haven't had time to be wronged yet.

    But at this time, although the situation around him became more and more strange, Ruan Nanzhu was still confused and didn't understand what happened. He even thought it was the door's punishment for him, until one day, a little devil in red , led him to a place.

    When Ruan Nanzhu walked there, he immediately recognized the location of the apartment where Lin Qiushi once lived, but the apartment had not been built yet, and there was a very old-looking building in front of him.

    The kid stood on the fifth floor and waved at Ruan Nanzhu. Ruan Nanzhu looked up at her and frowned: "The fifth floor? What are you bringing me here for?" He carefully observed the kid's appearance, a little bit. Incredible, "You're not Zuozi, are you?"

    After he said this, he saw the little devil smile shyly... Although it's not cute at all to make this expression with a pale face.

    Ruan Nanzhu was in a hurry to leave here, but had no clue about the key, so he thought of using a dead horse as a living horse doctor, and went to see what Zuozi wanted to show himself.

    Ruan Nanzhu went up to the fifth floor, walked to a room at the end, pushed open the hidden door, and saw a room. There was no one in the room, only an old broken TV was placed on the bedside, and it seemed that something was playing on the TV.

    Ruan Nanzhu's eyes fell on the TV, and there was a look of astonishment in his eyes. He even thought he had read it wrong, and walked quickly to the TV, only to be sure that the TV was indeed the appearance of Lin Qiushi when he was a teenager.

    Lin Qiushi was walking on a small road, and two people appeared beside him. The two Ruan Nanzhu also knew each other. They were Xiong Qi and Xiao Ke who they had seen inside a door. Ruan Nanzhu held her breath, her eyes widened. Staring at the picture on the TV.

    "Where is this place?" The young Lin Qiushi's expression was very immature, and there was some fear in his black eyes. He asked cautiously, "Who are you?"

    The screen continued to play, and Ruan Nanzhu finished watching the entire content. What was shown on the TV was how Lin Qiushi got through the first door without Ruan Nanzhu.

    Ruan Nanzhu's fingertips touched the cold screen and lightly brushed Lin Qiushi's cheek through the glass. Even the young Lin Qiushi was so fascinated.

    He is like an undiscovered rough stone. Anyone who knows the goods knows what kind of dazzling treasures will be unearthed in it.

    A person who is smart, brave, calm, not blindly kind and sticks to the bottom line, Ruan Nanzhu thought, no matter what the situation, his lover is so attractive.

    The show on TV became a series, all about Lin Qiushi, how he got in the door, how he met a bunch of friends, and how he took over Obsidian...

    Ruan Nanzhu was fascinated when he saw it, and he even had an idea in his mind, why did he not stay by Lin Qiushi's side when Lin Qiushi did these things? If he could accompany him, what would it be like? Wonderful experience... Immediately, Ruan Nanzhu woke up and noticed his strangeness.

    He did indeed accompany Lin Qiushi and accompany him through the test of eleven doors, but if that was the case, then why did the idea just appear in his mind so naturally.

    Ruan Nanzhu felt something was wrong.

    And this kind of wrong, with the series in front of him, began to expand and spread, like an unstoppable plague.

    Ruan Nanzhu saw Lin Qiushi's family on TV, and their way of getting along was exactly the same as his own. Ruan Nanzhu also saw Bai Ming, who was supposed to be his friend, but on TV, was Lin Qiushi's best friend...

    Lin Qiushi grew up slowly, from a boy to a mature man. People around him came and went, but he did not change his original intention, as if the darkness was shining on him, and it would not even cast a shadow.

    After watching Lin Qiushi for three days and three nights in a row, Ruan Nanzhu finally realized something... He doesn't seem to be human.

    For three days, he did not sleep without rest, but he did not feel hungry or tired. He was still in good spirits and maintained his best condition.

    Time has been nullified in him.

    The kid who brought him squatted beside him and looked at him eagerly.

    Ruan Nanzhu was very alert to her at first, but later became a little helpless. He said, "Why are you showing me this? Are you trying to tell me that I'm not human?"

    Zuozi turned his head and looked at Ruan Nanzhu without saying a word.

    Ruan Nanzhu wanted to say something else, but Zuozi pointed at the screen and motioned Ruan Nanzhu to continue watching.

    Ruan Nanzhu thought, anyway, things won't get worse, just keep watching, he can't leave here, and he can't see Lin Qiushi, it doesn't matter if he continues to watch.

    So Ruan Nanzhu watched Lin Qiushi's time move on.

    He was like a spy, watching every paragraph of Lin Qiushi's life since he touched the door. He watched Lin Qiushi cry, watched Lin Qiushi laugh, watched him meet new friends with a bright smile, watched him cry when he lost his best friend, time passed, and Ruan Nanzhu, who did not need a rest, had lost the concept of time.

    Finally, there was a decisive change in the picture.

    Ruan Nanzhu saw Lin Qiushi walk into his twelfth door, and then the screen changed, but Lin Qiushi appeared in a familiar rental house.

    At the same time, the scene around Ruan Nanzhu began to change, the old decorations began to fade, and the environment around him became exactly the same as the one on TV.

    On the TV, Lin Qiushi was sleeping on the bed, and a black shadow appeared beside Lin Qiushi. The shadow couldn't see the specific appearance, it was just a dark shadow. The shadow stretched out his fingers and carefully touched Lin Qiushi's cheek, from the forehead, to the bridge of the nose, to the lips, with gentle movements, as if afraid to wake up the sleeping Lin Qiushi.

    Then the shadow's body began to change, the black gradually faded from his body, and his appearance became more and more human, and even at a certain moment, he became exactly the same as Lin Qiushi lying on the bed.

    But the shadow didn't seem to want the same face as Lin Qiushi, and quickly changed his appearance. When the shadow finally took shape, Ruan Nanzhu, who was watching all this outside the TV, showed a wry smile-that shadow was actually the same one as him. appearance.

    That's right, the shadow is Ruan Nanzhu.

    If it was someone else, they might have been stimulated and mad when they saw this scene, but Ruan Nanzhu was very calm. In fact, he had already guessed about this when he watched Lin Qiushi's life in the past few days, but now he has seen it with his own eyes. , still a little exciting.

    Ruan Nanzhu on the TV showed a longing smile to Lin Qiushi, then faded away and disappeared beside Lin Qiushi.

    And when Lin Qiushi woke up the next day, the first thing he found was that Chestnut wouldn't let him hug him.

    The cat Li Zi, who was originally very clingy to him, was actually angry at him, as if he didn't know him at all. When the cat slave Lin Qiushi saw this scene, he was completely at a loss. He could only face Lizi, who was standing tall and looked very disdainful, and said, "Lizi, why don't you want your father, Lizi?"

    Ruan Nanzhu looked at Lin Qiushi here, his shoulders began to shake slightly, and then he finally couldn't help laughing. He knew that the story that belonged to him and Lin Qiushi was about to begin.

    Sure enough, a few days later, Lin Qiushi opened the door.

    Inside the door is a scene he should have seen once, but because his memory has been modified, there is only a strange face in his eyes, and this time, there is an unfamiliar face on his way forward.

    Ruan Baijie, who was wearing women's clothes, walked pitifully in front of Lin Qiushi, burst into tears, and asked Lin Qiushi where it was.

    When Lin Qiushi asked Ruan Nanzhu's name, Ruan Baijie blurted out from Ruan Nanzhu's mouth.

    This is their encounter.

    At that time, Ruan Nanzhu also thought that he was an ordinary person. He finally got his wish. In another way, he joined Lin Qiushi's journey and became an indispensable and important role in Lin Qiushi's life.

    This makes Ruan Nanzhu very satisfied, but when everything ends, the twelve doors will also end.

    Ruan Nanzhu still hasn't recovered his memory of being inhuman. He just knows that he is not human, but what is he? Ruan Nanzhu thought about this question, glanced at Zuozi who was staring at him, and said in amazement: "Am I the NPC guarding the door in the twelve doors??"

    Zuozi looked at Ruan Nanzhu and didn't speak, but Ruan Nanzhu actually saw contempt in her eyes.

    Ruan Nanzhu: "..." Damn, it seems to be true.

    To be honest, Ruan Nanzhu felt that he could really do something that erased his memory and seemed to never recover, and now his goal has been achieved, and he has got his beloved.

    "What if I'm still a little happy." There is no one here, there are only endless ghosts, Ruan Nanzhu sat in the darkness and smiled softly, "When I think of being able to experience so much with him, I feel so happy."

    Zuozi next to him naturally won't answer him.

    "But now the question is, how do I get out." Ruan Nanzhu raised his head and looked at the unfamiliar rental house, "I can go out." He thought for a moment, then turned his eyes to Zuozi, "You still what do you know?"

    Zuozi glanced at the clock on the wall.

    Ruan Nanzhu: "Zhong?" He stood up, looked at the clock with twelve digits that was still moving forward, and after thinking for a moment, he stretched out his hand and took it down.

    Then he took the clock cover apart and didn't see anything in the clock cover, he pressed the button of the paper control hour hand and was about to turn it, but suddenly thought of something, he asked Zuoko's last question , He said: "By the way... When Qiu Shi and I passed through the door, if we didn't pass through successfully, would we die?"

    Zuozi's expression became a little strange when he heard the words, like pity, and like looking at a mentally ill person, and finally nodded.

    Ruan Nanzhu laughed, thinking that this is really his own style, everything must be perfect, and everything is close to the truth.

    Ruan Nanzhu turned the clock, and after a while, the two keys fell to the ground. He picked them up, saw the words engraved on them, and couldn't help but smile.

    Unreal life, real death, no matter what kind of world Lin Qiushi wants, Ruan Nanzhu can give it to him.

    He can choose cruel reality, or he can choose beautiful dreams, the power to make decisions, Ruan Nanzhu put it in Lin Qiushi's hands.

    Just thinking about it now, all of this is probably superfluous. Ruan Nanzhu didn't have to think about it, and knew Lin Qiushi's answer. He took the key, turned and left the room, opened the door, but only saw a door in the corridor. The door was filled with gentle white light, and Ruan Nanzhu walked to the door and stepped in.

    The world line begins to change.

    Originally, there was no obsidian of Ruan Nanzhu in my memory, but there seemed to be something more in my mind, so when I saw Ruan Nanzhu walking down the second floor of the villa, no one showed a surprised expression, even Ye Niao still Excitedly, he called Lin Qiushi and told Lin Qiushi that Brother Ruan was back.

    Lin Qiushi on the other end of the phone was ecstatic.

    Ruan Nanzhu was sitting in the living room, quietly observing the surrounding scenery, making sure that the scenery was no different from what he remembered.

    "Brother Ruan, you are finally back." Ye Niao was still talking to him, "You don't even know how Brother Lin has been through the past year."

    "One year?" Ruan Nanzhu was slightly stunned, "It's been a year?"

    "Yeah." Ye Niao said, "It's been a year."

    Ruan Nanzhu thought, fortunately, he didn't hesitate, otherwise, if it was delayed for a while, I'm afraid Lin Qiushi's children will be three years old when they come out...

    Then the two meet and embrace each other happily.

    Lin Qiushi did not ask why Ruan Nanzhu appeared now. In fact, as long as Ruan Nanzhu could come out, Lin Qiushi would not blame him.

    But immersed in happiness, Ruan Nanzhu soon discovered something bad. Since he came out of the door, the twelfth door of other people who passed through the door was actually sealed, and a seal was pasted on it. , like telling someone outside that the inside is empty.

    With Lin Qiushi's IQ, seeing such a scene and contacting other strange people, it is not difficult to guess Ruan Nanzhu's non-human identity. After realizing this, Ruan Nanzhu was a little flustered, because he wasn't sure whether Lin Qiushi would mind this matter. In the end, it didn't seem very pleasant that his lover was not a human being but a door god.

    So when Ruan Nanzhu brushed Lin Qiushi on the forum's mobile phone and took it out of Lin Qiushi's hand, he carefully observed Lin Qiushi's expression and found that his lover's expression had not changed. Candle breathed a sigh of relief.

    Of course, only later did Ruan Nanzhu realize that Lin Qiushi did not know, but pretended not to know, he didn't care what Ruan Nanzhu was.

    "How on earth did you make friends with Bai Ming?" Lin Qiushi sat on the sofa, watching TV with the remote control, and chatting casually with Ruan Nanzhu.

    "He happened to have a clue of the senior door in his hand. I needed to take someone through the door, so I went with him." Ruan Nanzhu replied.

    Lin Qiushi turned to look at Ruan Nanzhu and said, "Then why does he come to chat with me every day now?"

    "Hey, can you guys not pretend that I'm not chatting like that, okay?" Bai Ming ate the melon seeds that Ruan Nanzhu had just fried, and said angrily, "It's not okay to flirt and flirt with another place, and I'm just for you. Lin Qiushi hit it off at first sight, couldn't it?"

    "No." Ruan Nanzhu said, "Take your claws off him."

    Bai Ming: "Hmph, stingy."

    Lin Qiushi smiled but didn't say anything.

    Bai Ming stood up to say goodbye, saying that the guy from his family had texted him and asked him to have dinner together.

    "He still has time to have dinner with you?" Lin Qiushi said casually, "Isn't he busy with the new movie?"

    "That's right." Bai Ming sighed, "But I like him who made movies. Have you seen his "The Way of the King"? To be honest, we were on the set that time..."

    "Shut up." Lin Qiushi and Ruan Nanzhu said in unison, and the two quickly stopped Bai Ming's attempt to tell a dirty joke. After all, they didn't want to have some bad images in their minds while watching a movie.

    "Yes." Bai Ming spread his hands, "You two are getting more and more alike."

    "Is it bad?" Lin Qiushi asked.

    "Would you like to fall in love with someone with a similar personality?" Bai Ming said.

    "I like it." Lin Qiushi laughed, but his tone was serious, "I have such a good personality, why don't you like it?"

    Bai Ming: "..." He found out that these two people were feeding him dog food on purpose, so he turned around neatly and left, scolding the two dog boys.

    Lin Qiushi and Ruan Nanzhu laughed, and then looked at each other, they both saw some deep meaning in each other's eyes, but in the deep meaning, there was still love that could not be concealed.

    Why do some things need to be so clear, Lin Qiushi thought, as long as he is by his side, it is enough.
