There were shards of glass on the ground, and some of the neatly arranged display cabinets with puppets on the wall were damaged. They didn't know what happened in this room when they just experienced the ghost hitting the wall.
The four of them walked in cautiously and looked at the puppets.
"Sure enough, it's here." Rowling said.
Each puppet has its own display case labeled with their name. Now, some of the puppets had been destroyed, and the lingering chill in the air made them uneasy.
She looked around for Mary Shaw's body.
"Who destroyed the puppet, Mary Xiao?" Jamie looked around nervously. He always felt that Mary Xiao's ghost was quietly watching them in a corner.
"Probably not." Rowling said: "Mary Xiao regards the puppets as her own children. She will not harm these puppets. And her ability is to possess puppets. The more puppets, the better for her."
Mr. Warren passed by the puppet-making workbench. The wooden shelves nearby were filled with puppet-making tools. A large glass jar is filled with puppet eyes. When the mobile phone flashlight shines on them, they reflect a permeating luster, as if they were human eyes.
Winnie was also looking around with her mobile phone, and accidentally kicked a round thing under her feet, and the thing rolled out. The movement attracted the attention of others, and Mr. Warren, who was not far away, also looked over. He and Winnie simultaneously used mobile phone flashlights to follow the movement of the ball.
The ball, which was Mary Xiao's eyeball, rolled to a seat and stopped. The chair was covered with a red cloth. Looking at the strange bulging shape, everyone subconsciously thought of Mary Xiao's bones.
They looked at each other nervously, and Mr. Warren leaned over cautiously, holding a mobile phone in one hand and a cross in the other, and then gently pinched a corner of the red cloth with the hand holding the cross.
Everyone's attention was focused on the red cloth, and Rowling nodded to Mr. Warren. Mr. Warren held his breath and yanked the red cloth!
Under the red cloth was not Mary Shaw's body as they thought, but a puppet the size of a human child wearing a small black suit with its head lowered.
Jamie and Lisa on the other end of the video breathed a sigh of relief, while Rowling looked solemn and slowly leaned over to pull the rope connecting the "puppet" joints. The puppet's head suddenly lifted up, revealing a half-rotten mummy face.
It was a boy. The skin on his face was rotten and his gums were exposed. Two eyes were gouged out and replaced with a pair of puppet eyes.
Rowling let go of her hand, and the boy's head dropped again.
Rowling: "It's Michael Eisen."
Jamie: "What?"
Rowling turned her eyes and looked elsewhere: "The missing boy, Mary Shaw wanted to make the perfect puppet, so she kidnapped the child. She made the child into a puppet, but the residents of the town already suspected her .”
"The boy's family and town residents broke into Mary Shaw's house in search of the child to no avail. Enraged, they forced Mary Shaw to scream and then cut out her tongue."
Later, Mary Shaw left her last words and asked the undertaker at the funeral home to make a puppet of her and be buried with her 101 puppets. Mary Xiao, who transformed into an evil spirit, returned to the human world. She brutally killed all the residents and descendants who participated in killing her, tore their mouths and pulled out their tongues.
"Because of this curse, many people died in the originally wealthy town. Some people left here to escape Mary Shaw's curse. Later, I don't know why Mary Shaw never killed anyone again. Until Mr. Eisen's stepmother took Mary ·Xiao and the puppets dug it out and made a deal with Mary Xiao."
Jamie understood: "So, Ella sent the puppets to our house because Mary Xiao knew that Lisa was pregnant? She wanted to kill everyone in the Eisen family."
Lisa couldn't understand: "Why? She is also from the Eisen family!"
Jamie thought about his mother and previous stepmother, and understood why Ella hated them. Perhaps, even though he was forced to death and took away his two wives, his father's old problems remained unchanged, and Ella also suffered violence.
Since Mary Xiao’s target is a member of the Eisen family, what about his father?
Jamie: "Oops, my father is in danger now!"
Jamie turned around and ran out but Winnie stopped him: "Jamie!"
"What?" Jamie turned back in confusion.
"There is something I have been hesitant to say." Winnie glanced at the wall of puppets and said to Jamie: "Do you still remember the clothes your father wore?"
"What do you mean?" Jamie was rushing back to the old house now, not understanding why Winnie was carrying his father's clothes.
Winnie: "I was very confused when I first saw your father. He had a stroke and was paralyzed. Why would he wear a suit at home if he wasn't attending a special occasion?"
Lisa suddenly thought of something, she covered her mouth in horror and her scalp went numb: "Oh my god!"
Jamie opened his mouth, not understanding what the expressions on the faces of Winnie and the Warrens meant, but he already had a very bad premonition.
Winnie continued, but her voice was very soft as if she was afraid of hurting him: "Your father's dress... looks a lot like Billy, and also like these puppets."
Jamie felt dizzy for a while, and his eyes turned to the puppet wearing a black suit and bow tie in the display cabinet, and the image of his father yesterday kept flashing in his mind.
Jamie shook his head violently and backed away, completely unable to accept the truth: "No, he talked to me yesterday."
Although Ella wanted to kill them, but...
Rowling looked at him with pity: "Mary Xiao is a ventriloquist."
Lisa worriedly asked on the other end of the video: "Honey, are you okay?"
"I have to go back." Even though he resented his father, at this moment Jamie just wanted to rush back to the old house to ensure his father's safety.
Mary Xiao's body has not been found. She has not even appeared so far. Rowling is not worried about letting them go back: "Mary Xiao may be waiting for you in the old house. So far, apart from the ghost covering her eyes just now, Mary ·Xiao hasn’t attacked us yet.”
Without Winnie's discovery, Jamie would have been devastated when he returned to the old house and discovered the truth, and he might have been unable to stop screaming when he had an emotional breakdown.
And by that time, it was time for Mary Shaw to take his life.
Rowling told Jamie the seriousness of the matter and tried her best to calm his emotions: "Our task now is to find Mary Shaw's bones and then burn them together with these puppets."
Jamie is filled with fear and sadness, but fortunately it has not overwhelmed his sanity. He not only has to consider himself but also his pregnant wife. The anger burning in his heart made him change his cautious attitude, and took his cell phone and searched everywhere for places where Mary Xiao's body could be hidden.
The four people quickly searched, coupled with Rowling's ability to sense evil spirits, and finally found the bones hidden by Mary Xiao.
Because of the curse of resentment and the powerful evil spirit, Mary Xiao's corpse was extremely terrifying. It looks like an evil puppet prop, a cross between puppet and human.
After finding Mary Shaw's body, Rowling and Mr. Warren were extremely vigilant. Based on their past experiences, every critical moment becomes more dangerous. The evil spirits are very sensitive to their own corpses. When they found her bones, Mary Xiao might have noticed it and was rushing here.
"Quick! Burn Mary Xiao's bones before she comes back!"
Jamie quickly lit the cloth and threw it on Mary Shaw's body. The tablecloths and the remaining old clothes were all set on fire. He was going to set a fire and burn the whole place down, leaving Mary Xiao homeless!
The fire spread quickly, and they quickly evacuated Mary Xiao's residence and ran downstairs. It’s unknown whether the fire will spread to the performance hall below, but it doesn’t matter anymore, the residents of Ravensfield Town will not come here.
When the elderly residents die, they take with them the horrific legend of Mary Shaw.
The four of them rowed away. Lisa, who was waiting on the other side, was already standing on the shore. When Jamie came ashore, she rushed over and gave him a hug.
Waiting is the most difficult thing. Even if she stares at her phone all the time, she still feels scared.
Lisa: "Is that okay? Has Mary Xiao disappeared?" She looked at the exorcist couple eagerly.
Mr. Warren didn’t dare to give a guarantee, “Let’s go back to Eisen’s old house and have a look now.”
The two cars started up again. There were few vehicles in this area. Jamie stepped on the accelerator hard along the way. If it weren't for Lisa's persuasion, Winnie would have suspected that she had finally escaped from the horror game world, but died in Jamie's hands.
When the car arrived at the door of the Eisen family's old house, Jamie was the first to run down and bang on the door. But the old house was quiet all the time. They waited for a long time and no one came to open the door.
Unable to do so, Jamie could only violently open the door with Mr. Warren. This time, Mr. Warren brought a handgun to prevent Ella from a sudden attack.
"Father!"
"Ella!"
Jamie called out to his father and Ella, but there was no response. When he rushed to the second floor, he saw Edward Eisen, wearing the same suit as yesterday, sitting in a wheelchair with his head lowered.
He looked like he hadn't moved since they left yesterday.
Jamie stared, feeling his heart skip a beat.
He leaned forward step by step, raised his hand tremblingly, patted his father's shoulder, and said in a hoarse voice: "...Father?"
Rowling had already walked behind Old Aisen. She only glanced at her before turning her head sharply: "Oh!" Her expression was very uncomfortable, because Old Aisen's back had been hollowed out, with a wooden Stick connection.
Like a puppet made from corpses.
Winnie grabbed Lisa who was still trying to move forward. The next second, Jamie, who saw the truth, let out a wailing cry of collapse.
…
Jamie and Lisa hold a funeral for Edward Eisen. No one except old Henry at the funeral home knew what happened to him.
Ella disappeared, and they found a file bag in a drawer in her room, which contained her prenatal care records and the final miscarriage report.
Ella was once pregnant, but was beaten by old Eisen until she had a miscarriage. Everyone had guessed what happened next. She exhumed Mary Shaw's bones and dolls and willingly became possessed by her. It was she who delivered the puppet to Jamie's door and called Jamie to come home.
Mary Shaw wants revenge, and so does Ella.
But this is unfair to Jamie. His grandparents have died at the hands of Mary Shaw, and it was Mary Shaw who killed Michael Eisen first before suffering revenge from the town residents.
But Mary Shaw brought disaster to everyone. Jamie's mother died because of his father, and he is also a victim in this family. When Ella chose to take revenge on old Eisen, she also wanted to kill his wife and children to lure them back.
This series of events left Jamie depressed and numb after attending the funeral. After the funeral, they left the town and went home.
When the vehicle passed the road sign in the town of Ravensfield, Winnie looked back. Mary Xiao has been solved, and it's time for her life to return to peace.
