Tang Yaoyao Xu Xiaocheng was aghast at the scene. The look of sheer terror filling her eyes beca more intense the longer she gaped at Tang Yaoyao. Whats going on with your body?
At the others words, Tang Yaoyao lowered her head and suspiciously glanced down at her own body, only to finally see what was happening to her. She could only stare in horror as the skin on her whole body turned glaringly red, as if the boiling blood underneath her skin was seconds away from overflowing and ssily splashing the entire ground.
Ahhhhhhhhhhhh! Issuing the most blood-curdling shriek, Tang Yaoyao frantically began rubbing and scratching her body, digging her nails into her skin, as if her actions would sohow stop the redness from growing; however, to her dismay, her actions only caused the crimson marks to spread even faster, until her entire body eventually beca red through and through.
Ahhhhhhhhh! Save ah! Sobody save !!! Ackkkkkkk As ceaseless, plaintive screeches spilled from her mouth, Tang Yaoyaos body began to exhibit more changes. Her skin and muscles started turning stiff, as if rigor mortis had set in, and she soon collapsed to the floor like a mannequin.
All of this happened in a blink of an eye. No one could hardly process what theyd just witnessed. By the ti they were able to react, the tragedy that befell Tang Yaoyao had already passed. Tang Yaoyaos body was sprawled across the floor, her wide eyes were staring vacantly at the ceiling, and she had lost all signs of life. It looked as though her entire body had been dipped into crimson paint; even the whites of her manic eyes had been stained by that diabolical red tint.
Utterly frightened out of her wits, Xu Xiaocheng started bawling outrageously. Lin Qiushi was also struck dumb by this scene; his words escaped him, and all that was left behind in his mouth was a bitter taste.
Zhang Xinghuo exhaled the breath he had been holding in and foolishly remarked, There goes another one. Will all of us really be able to live through this?
His question was t with deathly silence. With the exception of the groups labored breaths, there wasnt a sound heard. Everyone in the room remained tight-lipped and tense.
Tang Yaoyaos corpse was lying stiffly on the ground. Lin Qiushi didnt dare stare at it for a long ti, but he couldnt help but notice that there was sothing oddly fishy with her corpse. Compared to those individuals who had died before, Tang Yaoyaos corpse did not lack any body parts; that was to say, nothing was missing and no part of her seed to vanish with her death. Rather, she just dropped dead in front of the other just like that, without any warning and with all of her parts intact.
While the group was at a standstill, still trying to process what had just transpired, the hostess, who always seed to be occupied with sothing in the kitchen every ti they saw her, soon appeared again. She stood at the doorway, smiling at the crowd and lightly wiping her hands on her apron, and said, I made you all sothing absolutely scrumptious! How about a taste, yes?
Naturally, no one answered to her.
Aiya, aiya. The woman chuckled. Why the long faces, everyone? The ti to celebrate the birthday party is approaching fast. When the ti cos, those frowns will surely be turned upside down; you will definitely be jumping in joy! She tittered endlessly, until she could no longer suppress her giggles and began cackling disturbingly. Her eerie laughter was particularly horrifying, chilling everyone down to their very bones. After making this announcent, the woman swiveled on her heels and sashayed back into the kitchen to continue doing God-knows-what.
Wait. After a long ti, Ruan Nanzhu finally broke the silence. His voice didnt carry a hint of panic or apprehension; in fact, his tone was incredibly calm and composed. There shouldnt be any more deaths now.
How do you know? Xu Xiaocheng tentatively inquired.
Intuition. Ruan Nanzhu flashed her a grin. My intuition never lies.
Having heard what Ruan Nanzhu stated, Zhang Xinghuo, who was standing beside them, scrunched his face in thoughtfulness. I seriously hope youre right. Then again, a womans intuition is usually accuratescarily accurate, in factespecially a beautiful womans
The queenly Ruan Nanzhu humd in approval, You have good eyes.
Lin Qiushi: What are you looking all confident and poised for? Just how thick is your skin? How in the world can you still respond to him like that without feeling ashad of yourself, huh?
Nevertheless, even though Ruan Nanzhu was not a woman, his intuition was certainly just as accurate, if not more. There werent any deaths that ca about in the next two days. Like maltreated prisoners awaiting their verdict, the four individuals could only struggle to swallow that tasteless bread as they waited for the upcoming birthday party.
On the eve of the birthday party, Ruan Nanzhu and Lin Qiushi decided to go back to the roof to check out the situation again. When they went this ti, they actually found sothing odd in the rooftop equipnt shelter.
Whats this? Having spotted these objects, Lin Qiushi didnt give much of a reaction; he simply strolled over to inspect them more closely. Placed before him were several large containers. So of the containers contained white liquid, and others contained red, at-like substances. But it was only after he observed what was next to these containers that he gasped in realization. A glass jar was neatly lined up with the containers and stuffed with what seed to be a small, circular objects. But if one examined this jar carefully, one would discover that what seed to be normal orbs were actually human eyeballs.
Looking at these eyeballs, Lin Qiushi thought of the young man on the fourth floor who was brutally murdered. Based on these observations, it wasnt difficult to guess that most of these unrecognizable objects and substances actually belonged to the mbers of their group.
Zeng Ruguos brain. Zhong Chengjians flesh and innards. And Tang Yaoyaos bloodstained bones
Dont tell these are Lin Qiushi faced Ruan Nanzhu.
They probably are, replied Ruan Nanzhu.
Lin Qiushi was rendered speechless.
Lets go. Ruan Nanzhu said. Well get all the answers we want tomorrow.
Alright. Lin Qiushi nodded.
And once again, another night passed just like that. Eventually, the noise from alarm clock roused them from their sleep. Awakening to utter darkness, Lin Qiushi could hardly believe it was already morning. He thought it was still nightti because the surroundings were practically pitch-black and the light from the sun was completely shrouded by the thick, gloomy clouds.
On the other hand, Ruan Nanzhu was already awake. He was leaning against the headboard of the bed and appeared to be deep in thought.
Its already morning? Lin Qiushi climbed out of bed and checked the ti just to make sure.
Yeah. Ruan Nanzhu cleared his doubts. It hasnt been bright out at all today.
Although the days here were usually overcast, there was still the occasional light. But today, there truly wasnt a single ray of sunshine. Everything was enveloped by the darkness; only the dim, yellow glow of their lamps provided them with a faint light to see.
Lin Qiushi soon got dressed and left the room with Ruan Nanzhu.
The triplets birthday party was to take place at noon today, and if Ruan Nanzhus speculation was correct, sothing was bound to happen. The mont the two stepped foot outside of their room, they caught sight of Xu Xiaocheng and Zhang Xinghuo standing in the hallway. The two stood at the entrance of the corridor and didnt dare enter the womans place.
Looks like were all here, As of this mont, there were only four people remaining on the team. Now that everyone had gathered together, Ruan Nanzhu declared, Lets head in now. And with that, he took the first step.
Only a small lamp was turned on, weakly illuminating their surroundings, but Lin Qiushi could still clearly make out the changes in the room. It was as though soone had thoughtfully decorated the entire place. Colorful ribbons hung on the wall, glittery confetti sprinkled the floors, and several huge plush dolls sat on the sofa. It was truly a beautiful scene of celebration, a picturesque view of an ideal birthday party.
As soon as they entered the residence, they heard a familiar lody coming from the bedroom. Happy Birthday was being sung in English. But the soft voice that was singing sounded too chanical and off-tune, awfully eerie and disturbing.
Wearing a pretty red dress and clutching a doll in her arms, the last of the triplets sat mutely on the corner of the sofa. She impassively watched the four individuals enter the room.
Who am I? The little girl suddenly demanded.
Ruan Nanzhu didnt miss a beat, and he calmly answered, You are Xiaotu.
Have you seen my older sisters? The little girl proceeded to ask. They are supposed to celebrate the birthday party with , but they havent co back yet.
I have seen them. Ruan Nanzhu told her. They are dead.
The little girl slowly blinked her eyes. She silently stared at Ruan Nanzhu then turned toward the others; her beady eyes gradually scanned the four individuals before her. Lin Qiushi expected her to continue asking questions, but he certainly did not expect her to nod, then quietly confess, I know.
Just as she finished asking her questions, the sound of footsteps started to grow louder. This ti, it appeared to be coming from the kitchen. The woman was humming happily, and she seed to be in an extrely cheerful mood. It wasnt long before she erged from the kitchen, whistling joyously and pushing a huge object towards the living room.
When she entered the living room, Lin Qiushi finally recognized what she brought with her.
It was an enormous birthday cake, and with just one glance, everyone could tell that it was a beautiful masterpiece. The cake had a total of three fluffy layers. Fresh buttercream frosting coated the cake, like a blanket of pure white snow, handfuls of glossy red fruits of unknown origin decorated the sides of the cake, and three big candles were lit on the top of the cake, flickering dimly.
Happy birthday, my sweet child. The woman congratulated, beaming brightly.
The little girl stood up and stared at her wordlessly.
The woman pressed forward, Quickly, sing the song. That way we can eat the cake once you finish singing. She then let out a rry laugh. And rember to offer our dear neighbors a few pieces.
The little girl hugged the doll closer to her chest and began to sing Happy Birthday aloud. The soft and immature child-like voice echoed in the dimly-lit room, emphasizing the indescribable abnormality of this freakish atmosphere.
When the birthday song ended, the little girl stood on her tiptoes and blew out the candles. The woman tittered gleefully and handed the cake knife to the little girl, before saying, My darling daughter, cut the cake.
The little girl took the knife given to her, and placing the knife on the edge of the cake, she pushed down hard and started to cut the cake. The snow-white cream frosting was neatly sliced with the pressure of the smooth blade, exposing the red cake on the inside.
Sighing in awe and desire, Xu Xiaocheng, who hadnt eaten to her satisfaction for a long ti, drooled at the sight of the cake. She wiped her mouth, swallowed hard, and mumbled while licking her lips, Its even red velvet! My favorite
Although the cake looked srizingly delectable with its mouthwatering moistness, irresistible fluffiness and rich frosting, because of what he saw last night, Lin Qiushi lost all of his appetite and didnt even want a slice of the cake.
Go on. Offer them a piece. The woman urged. Let them have a taste of Mamas creation.
At her mothers encouragent, the little girl divided the cake into several large pieces, placed each slice on a plate, then handed them out to everyone.
Zhang Xinghuo and Xu Xiaocheng enthusiastically received their plates without any hesitation, but the two still didnt dare to eat just yet; they just eagerly gazed at the large dessert plate in their hands. The rapacious and impatient expression coloring their faces was even fiercer than those of ravenous wolves.
However, when the little girl offered Ruan Nanzhu a plate, he didnt reach out to accept it. The air around him turned frosty and he grew increasingly indifferent. Not even bothering to mask his hostility, he looked down at the little girl with cold eyes.
Eat cake, uttered the little girl.
Dont want to eat. Ruan Nanzhu aloofy responded. Not interested.
The little girl continued to pester him in that sa monotonous voice, Eat cake.
Ruan Nanzhu assertively repeated, I do not want to eat. His stern voice showed just how adamant he was; there was simply no room for compromise.
Because of his stubborn refusal, the mothers eyes were soon filled with a hint of madness. The woman inquired, Oh, why exactly dont you want to eat?
Just dont want to eat. Ruan Nanzhu shrugged. Theres no other reason.
The woman: You
Just when she planned to say sothing, Ruan Nanzhu suddenly stepped forward. No one could possibly guess what he was thinking, which is why his next move ca off as a shock to all. To everyones surprise, he actually raised his hand and brusquely overturned the table holding the cake.
The majestic, pure white cake fell to the floor, not a crumb was saved from Ruan Nanzhus savagery; the entire cake fell splat onto the floor the instant he flipped the table. The salivating Xu Xiaocheng and Zhang Xinghuo, who stood at the side, unable to do anything as this scene unfolded right before their eyes, had no ti to feel distressed or grieve for the life of the lost cake, because the mont the cake hit the ground, an extrely pungent and unbelievably foul odor assaulted their nostrils. The two bowed their heads and looked down, only to discover that the appearance of cake in their hands had completely changed literally right under their very noses.
The appetizing red velvet cake transford into putrid ground flesh. The luscious white frosting turned into a nauseating, pulpy mass of brains. The round, lovely exotic fruits that decorated the cake beca sickening human eyeballs. And lastly, the three big candles that had just been extinguished turned out to be three ghastly blood-stained bones.
Holy shit! Utterly frightened and revolted, Xu Xiaocheng imdiately flung the dish out of her hand.
When the woman saw this, her expression twisted instantaneously. The forced smile on her face collapsed, and all that remained was a dented look of wrath and insanity. However, before she could do anything, Ruan Nanzhu advanced towards her and stabbed her body with a knife.
Everyone was shocked by Ruan Nanzhus violent actions and Lin Qiushi wasnt an exception. He stared at Ruan Nanzhu with wide eyes as the other ruthlessly hacked at the won with a knife he obtained from God-knows-where. His ferocious attack was beyond cruel and vicious, without any rcy.
Teeheehee! Upon witnessing this scene, the little girl who was standing next to them began to giggle rejoicefully. She tossed the doll in her hand away and simply stood in place, clapping and laughing rapturously. Mama is dead! Mama is dead!!!
In re seconds, Ruan Nanzhu dismbered the woman into several pieces. His entire body was soon covered in blood.
Xu Xiaocheng and Zhang Xinghuo thought Ruan Nanzhu was out of his mind. Terror-stricken, they whirled on their heels and bolted out of the door without turning back. Only Lin Qiushi showed so concern for him. He worriedly asked, Are you okay
Ruan Nanzhu turned around to look at him. His entire face was splattered in blood and he looked just like Death himself; it was only natural that the two biggest cowards would run away from him. Unconcerned and rather nonchalant about the twos reaction, he snorted in amusent then smirked, Youre not afraid of ?
Lin Qiushi stretched out his hand and gently wiped the blood off his face. Not afraid.
Ruan Nanzhu: You even have the courage to touch this blood. Are you not afraid youll be stained by this blood?
Lin Qiushi: Havent you already touched this blood, too? He was well-aware of how the plot of the fairy tale progressed, but he wholly believed that Ruan Nanzhu would never act like this without reason. So, although he was quite surprised at the very beginning, he quickly composed himself and instead began contemplating the reason behind Ruan Nanzhus actions.
Well Ruan Nanzhu murmured. A while ago, I realized that the key wasnt inside the cake.
Lin Qiushi frowned, It wasnt?
He had discussed this with Ruan Nanzhu the night before, and they both agreed that the key was most likely hidden within the cake. Obviously, Ruan Nanzhus first action was executed to confirm their suspicions. But even after the cake had been destroyed, they still couldnt find a trace of the key.
Ruan Nanzhu slowly extended his hand and said, Here it is. In the palm of his hand lay a beautiful bronze key, stained with blood. Judging from Ruan Nanzhus later unexpected actions, Lin Qiushi was able to guess the source of the key. He slightly widened his eyes and softly exclaid, The key was in her body?
Thats right. Ruan Nanzhu patted his knees then straightened his back. Ill explain it to you in detail later. For now, we need to leave. Fast.
Lin Qiushi nodded, and together, they hurried out of the residence.
As they exited the room, the mutilated corpse of the mother twitched. All of a sudden, her scattered body parts began to reassemble at an extrely rapid speed. It wasnt long before a gangling woman, wearing a deranged expression on her face and dripping in blood from head to toe, appeared in the middle of the room. She ever so slowly raised her hands to her head and cracked her neck, twisting her head into angles unimaginable to humans. With a hoarse voice, she hysterically screeched, Where are you all going? Why wont you eat my cake? You all had better co back She grabbed the sharp knife that was used to cut the cake, and without adjusting her contorted limbs, she rushed out of the room to chase after the others.
Ruan Nanzhu seed to have already predicted all of this. With Lin Qiushis hand grasped tightly in his own, he pulled the other along and ran upstairs.
Xu Xiaocheng and Zhang Xinghuo were clueless as to what was going on, but the instant they spotted the bronze key in Ruan Nanzhus hand, the fear on their faces turned into a mixture of disbelief, excitent and relief. The two followed Lin Qiushi and Ruan Nanzhu on their heels and dashed to the roof of the building.
Ill open the door. You guys distract her Ruan Nanzhu seized the iron lock to the roof and began fiddling with it.
Lin Qiushi expressed his assent and stood behind him, keeping watch. He heard the sound of heavy footsteps coming from underneath, and in the next mont, the frenzied woman who had just been chopped to pieces just seconds before appeared before them. Her expression was warped and her eyes were manic; with the sharp knife gripped in her hand, she started crawling up the stairs. Perhaps it was because her body had only recently been reassembled that her movents were rather sluggish, stiff and awkward. Like a newborn, she crookedly dragged herself up the stairs, crumpling and bending abnormally with every step. Fortunately for them, she wasnt very fast.
Under such stressful circumstances, the average person wouldve long lost their cool, but Ruan Nanzhus hands didnt even tremble as he concentrated on picking the lock. He shouted, Just give another ten seconds!
Lin Qiushi knew that Ruan Nanzhu absolutely could not afford to be distracted at this crucial mont. And so, while taking a deep, determined breath, he stepped forward, fished out his mobile phone, and forcefully slamd it down on the womans skull. The woman lost her balance when his cellphone hit her head, and Lin Qiushi imdiately grabbed that opportunity, raising his leg and kicking that woman as hard as he could. This one kick exhausted all of his strength, and, as if he was kicking a brick wall instead, he nearly sprained his ankle.
But fortunately, the woman stumbled back a bit. And just as she was getting ready to move forward, the sound of a lock falling to the ground clanged behind Lin Qiushi.
Go! Ruan Nanzhu roared as he pulled the door open.
Zhang Xinghuo and Xu Xiaocheng wildly sprinted behind Ruan Nanzhu. Lin Qiushi also ran behind them with urgent haste, but the woman seed to have finally realized they were planning to escape, so she frantically charged at Lin Qiushi with all her might.
Lin Qiushi managed to evade her by ducking to the side, but his arm was still slashed by her blade.
By now, the disposable black bags that were piled up on the roof began to wriggle around. In fact, so of the bags gradually grew taller, taking the shape of a human, and even scurried away from the large heap of black bags.
Ruan Nanzhu took the lead and hurried up front. He reached the black iron door and imdiately unlocked it. The heavy door groaned and creaked as he firmly pulled on it; no sooner, a brilliant halo of light shined from within the open door.
Nodding at Zhang Xinghuo and Xu Xiaocheng, Ruan Nanzhu ordered, You guys go first.
Refusing to stay at this place any longer, the two of them gladly complied. They leaped through the glowing doorway without a second thought.
Ruan Nanzhu then turned to face Lin Qiushi and held out his hand, Co here, quickly
Lin Qiushi dashed madly towards the other. When Lin Qiushi finally closed the distance between him and Ruan Nanzhu, Ruan Nanzhu promptly grabbed his hand and pulled him sharply, drawing the other close into his strong embrace. With their bodies wrapped around each other, they both fell backwards into the door behind them.
Lin Qiushi didnt know if it was rely a fignt of his imagination, but he felt as though sothing struck the back of his head the minute he passed through the door.
As they fell, the two were gently enveloped by the warm, soft glow. The shadows around them were soon expelled by the light, and the blood on Ruan Nanzhus body gradually faded, as well.
Inside the door was a tunnel that appeared to stretch endlessly into an unknown void; it was the sa scenery as before. With this, they knew they had finally escaped from the nightmarish world of the door.
Ruan Nanzhu took Lin Qiushis hand and walked straight ahead. The two didnt speak at all; there were no words needed. They just advanced onwards together, harmoniously and hand-in-hand, until that familiar sensation of dizziness assaulted them, once again.
When Lin Qiushi finally opened his eyes, he was t with the familiar view of his own door and ordinary walls around him.
Standing at his side, Ruan Nanzhu gazed at him in silence.
After a great deal of effort, Lin Qiushi uncertainly questioned, Are we out?
Yeah. Ruan Nanzhu shoved sothing into his pocket. Co, go into the room.
Lin Qiushi decided to move his body, but the mont he took a step, he was hit by spasm of vertigo. His entire vision began to spin and he realized his body was going to fall to the ground, so he shut his eyes and steeled himself for the impact. But instead of crashing against the cold floor, he fell into a warm embrace.
Did you receive any injuries inside the door world? Ruan Nanzhu asked.
En. Lin Qiushi wearily slurred. It was as if all strength had left Lin Qiushis body; he didnt even have the energy to reply.
Ruan Nanzhu grew quiet and didnt wait any longer. Without pause, he directly lifted Lin Qiushi, carrying him bridal style, and headed inside. Ruan Nanzhu was currently holding a man who was 180 centiters tall and who weighed more than 70 kilograms in his arms, yet he didnt even break a sweat. When the two entered the bedroom, Ruan Nanzhu gently set Lin Qiushis body down on the bed and said, You should sleep first.
Lin Qiushi was no longer able to speak, much less open his mouth. He simply closed his eyes and let his consciousness slip away from him, succumbing to a deep sleep.
Lin Qiushi didnt know how long he had slept for, but when he woke up, a white flower was placed next to his bedside and the sll of disinfectants lingered in the air. He was tornted by a myriad of strange dreams. Chaotic images would flash in his mind intermittently; one blurry image would vanish, only to be replaced with a new disorderly scene. Sotis he would hear soone screaming and wailing in anguish; other tis, he would catch a glimpse of soone taking their own life. It was all so bizarre, yet strangely familiar. Because of these sporadic, chilling dreams, Lin Qiushi was muddleheaded for a few minutes. It took him a good while, before he finally snapped out of his daze and realized he had already escaped the door world and was now lying down on a hospital bed with an IV drip inserted into his arm.
Seated near him was a spirited youth, the young boy he had frequently seen back in the villa, Cheng Qianli. Upon seeing Lin Qiushi open his eyes, Cheng Qianli skipped over and greeted the other, Lin Qiushi, youre up! How are you feeling?
Lin Qiushi felt like he had gone to hell and back. His entire body was aching, and he was drained of his energy. He groggily wondered, How long have I slept for
Cheng Qianli answered, Not that long. Why? Is there sothing wrong?
Lin Qiushi: My cat
Cheng Qianli: Goddamn. Is he serious right now? This guy is honestly like a one of those crazy cat ladies whose only purpose in life is to obsess over cats. Every single day, the only thing he thinks of is cats, cats, cats, ah! Its like his entire life revolves around cats! He cant even forget about them for a second! Look at himhe literally just woke up, but he didnt forget to ntion his cat!
Everythings fine. You only slept for half a day. Cheng Qianli said. And your cats fine, too.
Lin Qiushi breathed out a sigh of relief, then finally asked, So, what happened to ?
You got sick. Cheng Qianli replied. It was just a high fever, nothing overly severe. Did you get hurt inside the door?
Yeah. Lin Qiushi admitted, My arm was injured by a knife.
Cheng Qianli humd, Well, no matter, its all fine. Luckily, it was just a fever this ti. Just rember to try not to get injured in the door worlds. Even insignificant wounds received inside the door world can be fatal to people the mont they step outside of that world.
Lin Qiushi nodded his head. What about Nanzhu?
Cheng Qianli said, Big brother Ruan had sothing to take care of, so he left a while earlier, but not before telling to look after you. Anyways, how was it? How did it feel to experience the world of the door for a second ti?
Lin Qiushi answered honestly, Not too bad. He paused for a mont, then continued, It was quite the close call though; I almost didnt co out. Shivers ran down Lin Qiushis spine at the thought of woman with the knife. Now that he was thinking back on it, it truly was a close call.
Geez, whats with that I almost didnt co out. Didnt you manage to escape pretty safe and sound? Cheng Qianli huffed. Besides, big brother Ruan followed you inside, so nothing too serious would probably ever happen to you. He then switched topics, So, how about it? Want an apple? Ill peel one for you!
Lin Qiushi couldnt keep up with this youngsters liveliness, so he just nodded silently, gladly accepting Cheng Qianlis kindness.
He had to say, after coming out of the door world, he felt as though he had been reborn into a new person, as if he discovered a newfound sense of life and renewal. Whether it was the brilliant sunshine, or the scorching temperature, or even the loud and clamorous voices of the people, all of it filled him with sheer contentnt, and he couldnt have loved life even more.
Lin Qiushi happily munched on the tangy apple, and he felt like he was on cloud nine. As a person who despised hospitals, he even found that this hospital, which he would normally dread going to, didnt seem as unpleasant now.
Cheng Qianli sat beside him, playing gas and casually chatting with Lin Qiushi from ti to ti.
Having talked and chatted nonstop, Lin Qiushi soon beca drowsy. Just when he was about to close his eyes, he heard so shuffling coming from his side. He instinctively opened his eyes, only to see Ruan Nanzhu in front of him.
Ruan Nanzhus back was facing the light and shadows were obscuring his features, so Lin Qiushi couldnt make out the expression on the others face. But his voice extrely tender, ever so soothing, You woke up?
Lin Qiushi softly called out his na, Nanzhu
Ruan Nanzhu stroked his forehead affectionately and gently whispered, Sleep peacefully. Were out now; weve co back.
The instant Lin Qiushi heard Ruan Nanzhus voice and word, his racing heart miraculously cald down. His eyes fluttered closed and, once again, he sank into a deep slumber. This ti, those strange nightmares didnt plague him as he slept. There was nothing but the tranquility of the serene night surrounding him, allowing him to sleep peacefully and comfortably.
Authors Comnt:
Lin Qiushi: I love cats so much.
Ruan Nanzhu thought for a mont: ow~
Lin Qiushi: You dont have any hair.
Feeling wronged, Ruan Nanzhu pulled down the zipper of his trousers: But I do
Translators Comnt:
First off, Volu 2 of KoD has finally been published! Only 2 more volus left to go! But, speaking of Volu 2, the cover literally devastated . I legit scread, and it was most certainly not out of joywell, maybe half of it was because the volu is now out, but the other half was because RNZs character art is extrely arghdjsafkdaslh (disappointing)! But, of course, that wont stop from purchasing the novel when I can lol.
That aside, Ive received the hardcopy of Volu 1 for KoD. And heres the thing, Volu 1 has four new extras not available on the web versionthe first three extras have several parts to them and are more like the short skits () under the the author has sothing to say sections, while the fourth extra is just one long extra about Qiushi and his cat. (Volu 2 apparently has 4 new extras as well, and it concludes with the Door 8; thats all I know about it though, because I dont have the actual volu yet.)
I just wanted to know if you guys would rather I translate the extras and place them after Door 4, which is where they are placed in Volu 1, since Volu 1 concludes at Door 4 OR wait until I receive the remaining 3 volus, then combine all the extras at the very end of the novel, along with the extras found in the web version of the novel? I would appreciate if you guys shared your thoughts; otherwise, Ill probably skip over translating these new extras because I wouldnt know the best place to add the extras (or if you guys even want to read them).
