The person calling Jamie was Jamie's stepmother, his father's third wife, whom Jamie hadn't even met yet and didn't know she existed.
Jamie's mother was the first wife of his father, Edward Eisen, but due to years of domestic violence, his mother could not bear it and committed suicide. Jamie and his father had always had a bad relationship, so he left the town alone very early. Life.
Even after old Aisen married his second wife, he did not curb his old habits. Finally, the second wife couldn't bear this kind of life and ran away from the home.
Jamie's stepmother said on the phone that his father suddenly suffered a stroke and was unable to move, and his health was getting worse, so she wanted to see him. Although Jamie was surprised by this, he really couldn't bear too much father-son affection for this father. Originally he wanted to refuse, but after his stepmother Ella's repeated persuasion, he agreed to go back to the town in the near future.
In addition to agreeing to go back to meet this father whom he had not contacted for a long time, he also wanted to investigate about Mary Xiao. They suspected that the person who sent the puppets to their home was probably from the small town of Ravensfield, and Jamie wanted to go back to investigate in person.
After the puppet was taken away by the Warrens, they never received the good news about sealing Mary Xiao. Jamie and Lisa now sleep with fear, often waking up in their dreams for fear that there is a puppet lying beside the bed. Unless this matter is completely resolved, they will not be able to truly feel at ease in this life.
After hanging up the phone, Lisa came over and asked softly: "Do you want to go back? That person may be in the town of Ravensfield, and he may be in danger."
There are people and evil spirits living there who want to kill them. This time they may encounter a huge crisis when they go back, and Lisa is very worried.
"You stay here, and I'll ask the neighbors to help take care of you. You still have a baby in your belly and you can't follow me." Jamie said.
Lisa was killed again and again in the dream, indicating that Mary Xiao had the greatest malice towards Lisa. Jamie said he was worried about leaving Lisa alone at home, but they grew up in the small town of Ravensfield, where their relatives and friends were all there, and they couldn't find anyone who could help take care of Lisa. At this time, I can only ask my neighbors for help.
Hearing what he said, Lisa shook her head firmly: "No, we should be together."
"No!" Jamie refused without thinking.
"You know what's there." Lisa pulled Jamie and said, "We also need to tell the Warrens or ask the church for help. If you meet Mary Shaw's ghost there, how are you going to deal with her?"
Yes, they are just ordinary people. Even if they investigate the truth, they have no means to deal with evil spirits. If Mary Xiao could only kill people by screaming, then something terrible would happen to make them scream, and Lisa's scalp would go numb just thinking about it.
The worried couple argued at home for a long time, and finally Jamie had no choice but to call the Warrens.
The next day, the Warrens showed up at their door with a familiar wooden box.
"Good morning, Miss Green." Rowling noticed Winnie walking out of the house carrying her bag.
It was not too early at this time. People going to school and working had already left their homes. Only people could be seen walking on the roadside with their pets.
Winnie's eyes fell on the box containing the puppet Billy they were carrying, and she saw two more belts on it, tying the box tightly. "Good morning, Mrs. Warren, Mr. Warren. Who are you?" She turned to look at the Eisen family and found that the Eisen family's red car was still in the garage of his home. Eisen was supposed to go to work today. He hasn't even gone out yet.
Lisa, who noticed the movement at this time, had already opened the door of her house, greeted the three of them with a bad expression, her eyes fell on the wooden box from time to time, and then greeted them into the house. Mr. Warren took two steps with the box in hand, then turned around as if he thought of something and put the box in the trunk, locked the car, and then walked to Eisen's house.
Winnie stood in the yard and thought for a while, then followed the Warrens in. The Eisen home was no different from when Winnie came the day before yesterday, but she noticed that there were luggage bags placed on the sofa in the living room.
"Billy hasn't stopped since he arrived at my house." Rowling said first, sitting on the sofa. "Fortunately, my family has become accustomed to these special items and knows the taboos. So even if something happened, they didn't make any noise. Scream." At this point, Rowling also showed some fatigue on her face.
Puppet Billy is not Mary Xiao's habitat. Even if they control it, Mary Xiao cannot be locked up. They tried many ways but failed to seize the opportunity to seal it. Mary Xiao is an evil spirit but also has reason. She knows what they want to do, so she appears every time when she has only her daughter at home.
Because of this, their daughter had to put tape over her mouth when she was at home to prevent herself from screaming. Rowling was heartbroken and angry, so when she received Jamie's call, she immediately agreed to go together and take the puppets with her.
"Mr. Warren put the puppet back in the trunk, was he afraid that Mary Xiao would hear our conversation?" Winnie asked.
Mr. Warren did not deny it.
"Then why not burn the puppet?" Winnie asked her own question, "As long as the puppet Mary Shaw is burned, she will not be able to harm other people for the time being."
"We also thought about burning it." Mr. Warren said, "But we are not sure whether burning this puppet will weaken Mary Shaw's power. Or completely liberate her. We also don't know at this time whether Mary Shaw's strength will be weakened. Xiao’s true strength, if we can’t eliminate her, we still need an item that can seal her.”
Winnie nodded after hearing this. The Warrens' concerns were justified. It is indeed difficult for ordinary people to deal with evil spirits, and even experienced exorcists have various limitations. This is also the reason why Winnie wants to hide herself. If she is exposed, more trouble will come to her, and those who are harassed by ghosts will come to seek her help.
But in order to maintain her hard-won peaceful life, Winnie had to solve some troubles, such as Mary Xiao, while hiding herself.
This may be the reason why the Lord God placed her next to the Eisen couple. Even if they leave the horror game, they are not truly "retired".
In the world of horror games, the most common guess among these survivors about the main god is the "villain". After all, except for the villain, no one can throw ordinary people into that kind of place to survive. The main god's purpose is to absorb fear and drain their souls.
But in fact, there is another voice, another kind of speculation that many people don’t want to believe. That is, the Lord God selected them and threw them into each terrifying copy in order to save something.
Conditions to break away from horror games. It was stated when they first arrived in that world. Every time they cleared a dungeon, that dungeon would be permanently closed. Especially those supernatural dungeons that seemed to have no logic could also be solved. People who leave the game cannot return to the "normal" world. This is to prevent them from disrupting the order of the normal world.
For those of them who are forced to become survivors and struggle to survive in horror games, death is real. But most people are not that great. In order to save the world, even people who have nothing to do with them have to go through those hardships.
Winnie sometimes said with joy that she had also participated in saving the world and would definitely live a good life after going out, but she still regarded the Lord God as an evil villain.
Thinking that the Lord God might be a shining "savior" with a halo of justice, Winnie felt a stomachache. There is also a purpose in placing her next door to a family where a supernatural incident is about to happen. If Winnie is cold-hearted enough, she can turn a blind eye. As long as the ghost does not provoke her, her life will be the same. It’s impossible for the Lord God to jump out and issue a mission, right?
But Winnie really can't turn a blind eye, especially when she has the ability to solve it.
During their conversation, Winnie learned that they were going back to the town of Ravensfield today. Jamie also looked at Winnie and made his request: "To prevent accidents, I would like to ask everyone to help take care of Lisa for a few days. She is not big yet and can take care of herself, you just need to make sure she is safe."
"It's just a small thing," Winnie said.
What she was more worried about was that Jamie and the Warrens would be destroyed at the hands of Mary Shaw. As for the methods of exorcists in horror movies, Winnie only knew how to "sprinkle holy water" and "read the Bible", which were all used to destroy those exorcists. Evil spirits are expelled rather than destroyed.
Secretly, Winnie doesn't trust the methods of these exorcists. If they are expelled, they may come back. Even after the puppet was in the hands of the Warrens, Winnie felt that they were giving her away this time.
All joking aside, Winnie never considered herself a savior. All her efforts were just to survive, and she did not have such a great ideological consciousness. Mary Xiao will not let Lisa and her children go after killing Jamie. Winnie is willing to help as long as it does not endanger her own life. Even if she didn't see this kind of thing, she couldn't just watch her friend's family being destroyed.
"But I want to follow you to the town of Ravensfield." Winnie said.
"What?" Jamie didn't expect Winnie to go with him. "We went to find out the truth. There are the most terrifying evil spirits there, and Ravensfield is just a very remote town."
"I know, but there is strength in numbers." Winnie said sincerely: "You are the best friends I have made after moving to the small town. I want to help you." Her big bright eyes seemed She is extremely serious. She understands what she will encounter, but she is still willing to take risks to help her friends.
People with this kind of personality may not be liked by everyone in TV movies, but in real life, few people would hate this kind of sincere and loyal friend. The parties involved, Lisa and Jamie, felt very moved, and once again sighed in their hearts that Winnie was really a trustworthy and good friend.
"Winnie is right!" Lisa, who has been struggling, also said: "What if something happens to you and I am left with the child? Our family should be together and face danger together!"
Jamie's head suddenly got big, "But you are pregnant! If you bump into it, you may miscarry." After speaking, he looked at Winnie: "You have never really faced it. Evil spirits cannot be defeated by many people. If you I can’t explain to your family what happened.”
"But what if you leave and Mary Xiao comes to see me?" Lisa asked.
This is not impossible. No one knows whether the woman who gave the puppet has another one in her hand. Staying doesn't mean it's absolutely safe. Even Winnie, who helped the Eisens, is also in danger.
"Come along," said Mr. Warren. "Mrs. Eisen and Miss Green can stay in a crowded place during the investigation."
Jamie, who was determined not to take Lisa back with him, was also worried that Mary Xiao would attack them after they left, and there was no truly safe place to face evil spirits.
Ten minutes later, two cars left the gate of Eisen and Green's house and headed for the small town of Ravensfield.
Winnie and Lisa were sitting in Jamie's red car, Lisa was sitting in the passenger seat and Winnie was sitting alone in the back seat. There was still a long way to go from here, and the two cars had to fill up with gas halfway because Jamie said that the town of Ravensfield was very remote and there might not be a gas station on the way back.
Sure enough, after they passed the Ravensfield sign and entered the town, what they saw from the street were abandoned houses and shops. The town seemed to have been abandoned in the past years and looked very old.
They continued driving forward, with Jamie leading the way to a more remote place, and finally stopped in front of a large, old and imposing house.
