At this time, the Gordon family had just finished dinner. John Gordon used all his acting skills to get along with his wife who might be possessed by the devil. Maybe he had been seen through by the cunning devil, maybe it was using teasing and cold words. Eyes were fixed on his lame performance, but John couldn't take any chances. Because if they are not careful, their family may die tonight.
He was holding his daughter and sitting on the sofa in the living room. The cartoon playing on the TV attracted the little one's attention. Gordon glanced at the kitchen from time to time, where Mia was standing by the sink in an apron, humming and washing dishes. The hair tied behind her ears slipped down, and she stretched out her fingers wet with water to push her hair back. Her every move was no different from before.
"Yeah~"
Liya in her arms waved her little arms with an excited smile on her face. She was very interested in the cartoon world made up of beautiful colors on TV. Even if she couldn't understand it, she was very happy to watch it.
Mia, who was washing the dishes, turned around and looked in the direction of Leah when she heard the noise. Seeing her daughter so happy, she smiled and said to John: "Don't look at her for too long, she is too young now."
"Oh." John was startled by Mia's just turning back, and almost made a stiff smile out of reflex. Fortunately, he controlled it. He picked up the remote control and turned off the TV as if nothing had happened and stood up with the child in his arms: " Does our little Lia want to take a bath with the little duck~" He said and walked towards the stairs step by step.
Mia watched expressionlessly as John's back disappeared little by little around the corner of the stairs. The water sprayed from the faucet made a splash. She turned her head and looked at the window facing her. She could vaguely see her own shadow on the glass. .
The woman standing by the sink looked straight at the face reflected in the glass, and after a while she hummed again. A strange tone echoed in the kitchen on the first floor.
…
"I'm so worried."
On the hotel bed, Lisa leaned against the bedside and looked at Jamie coming out of the bathroom. The phone stayed in the chat interface. After returning from dinner, she tried to send a message to Mia, but the words she typed were deleted one by one because of her concerns. Shortly after deleting it, I typed it again, but in the end it was still not sent.
Jamie threw the towel in his hand on the chair, walked up to Lisa, kissed her and comforted her, saying, "I know, it will be fine as long as we get through tonight. We will go back early tomorrow to wait for the exorcist."
"I regarded her as a friend, but I hid when she was in danger." Lisa said, tilting her head, feeling sad and guilty.
Think about Winnie, when they were approached by Mary Shaw, she followed them back to the town of Ravensfield without hesitation, and even dared to enter the theater the next day after being almost attacked by a ghost. Compared with the neighbor girls, Lisa felt that she was too timid and weak.
Jamie frowned and said disapprovingly: "Why do you think so? Mia is your friend, yes, but you are still a mother, and it is your responsibility to protect her. And in this situation, you stay there What's the use? The Warrens almost died."
Lisa knew that Jamie was right, but she still felt sad. Maybe it was because her pregnancy made her sentimental.
"If it were Winnie today, I would definitely stay there." Lisa assured, looking at Jamie.
Jamie couldn't help but smile: "Of course, we'll all stay there."
Winnie, who lives next door, is sending a message to a classmate
.
As a beautiful and wealthy female college student living alone, it is impossible not to alert her when she discovers a suspicious vehicle around her home.
Calling the police directly seemed like "making a fuss out of a molehill." After all, she had no definite evidence to prove that the other party was following her, so she could only seek help from people around her, such as her classmates.
Leonard Gaskell is Winnie's classmate, an outgoing and cheerful boy. My hobby is photography. I can’t walk when I see a good camera. I am also very good at playing computer games. Winnie heard a few words from time to time. She didn't know much about various computer accessories, but she still thought it was quite powerful when she listened to their discussion.
Winnie sent the photo of the white car she took to Leonard Gaskell. He had more friends and could find out if the other person was from the school. If so, that guy's perverted behavior has already made him social in the school. If he still doesn't know how to restrain his subsequent behavior or even does something more extreme, Winnie will not be lenient.
Although doing this may make the police suspect herself, Winnie has the most perfect alibi. For now, the most important thing is to keep him from following her and not causing trouble for her.
Leonard Gaskell on the other side of the network agreed immediately and was very shocked that Winnie was being followed. Judging from the crime data in the United States in recent years, if you find that you are being followed, it is best not to take any chances. No one knows whether you will become a perverted murderer with a criminal record.
[Don't worry, leave it to me, but I think you should call the police directly. It's too dangerous. ]——Gaskell
[I’m not sure if I’m overthinking it, maybe it’s really a coincidence? And calling the police may not be helpful, as not all cases will be accepted by the police. ]——Winnie
This is also true. Ordinary people’s good impression of the police often ends the moment they call the police. It is the person who is noble, not the profession, and Winnie distrusts the American police very much. She still remembered the news reports she had seen in the past, where family members called the police for help when their loved ones wanted to commit suicide. As a result, the police came and shot the suicidal person to death.
She still can't forget her shock when she saw the news. Moreover, there are really too many crimes in this world, so much so that Winnie suspected a stalking incident without evidence and the police did not
Time is valued. A perverted murderer pops up from time to time, so there's no time for petty theft.
[Okay, please be safe. If anything happens, call the police or call me immediately. ]——Gaskell
[Thanks! ]——Winnie
Compared with the calmness in the hotel, Gordon's home is another kind of horror.
After Little Leah took a bath and went to bed, Mia and John also returned to their bedroom. Mia went to take a shower first, and John was half lying on the bedside watching TV. Shortly after Mia entered the bathroom, he quietly walked over and pushed the door open a crack.
After just one glance, all the hairs on John's body stood up! He realized that Mia couldn't catch him peeking, but what he saw in front of him almost made his heart stop.
The moment he saw the purple pinch marks on Mia's neck hidden under the foundation concealer, a terrifying guess emerged. Maybe his wife was not only possessed by the devil, but she was probably dead and the devil was using her. physical activity!
John used all his control to close the door, his facial muscles too stiff to make any other expression. He leaned against the wall and breathed silently, and the world in front of him seemed to be shaking and spinning.
My thoughts are confused, the scene just now is once again
Time flashed before his eyes, and he was wondering when exactly Mia's accident happened. Thinking that no one answered the two calls he made last night, Mia explained that she was sorting the dolls in the basement so she didn't receive the call. It was probably at that time.
Mia might have had an accident when the Essens came over last night. After Mia's accident, the devil entered her body, and used foundation to cover the marks on her neck, and behaved as usual in front of him and outsiders.
In other words, his wife died last night, and his daughter spent the night with the devil.
Oh, God!
Tears welled up uncontrollably. John glanced at the bathroom door and bit his knuckles, trying to control his breath and prevent himself from crying. Thinking of his daughter sleeping in the nursery, John could only cheer up. He had to take his daughter away from here. Now that the devil had washed away the disguise around his neck, he might attack tonight. Without Mia, he would not be able to do anything. Reason to stay here.
He quickly walked to the bedside and picked up his mobile phone. Without time to pack other things, John strode out of the door and trotted towards the baby's room. He didn't know how long it would take for the devil to come out of the bathroom and whether he deliberately exposed the marks on his neck to him, but he knew very well that there wasn't much time left for him to escape.
Pushing open the door to the nursery, John rushed to the crib and was about to reach out, but he saw Annabelle's dirty and ghostly face.
John: "Ho!" He gasped in shock, and his face turned pale!
A chill rushed from his back to the top of his head, his scalp suddenly numbed, and John was stunned on the spot. His eyes widened in shock, and the unwiped tears on his face made this man a little pitiful.
"Low...Low..."
Annabel's head turned in John's direction little by little, and the sound of the wooden joints turning sounded extremely weird at this time.
He took a step back suddenly and yelled his daughter's name like crazy: "Liya!" At this time, he couldn't care about anything else!
In a short period of time, he learned that his wife had died, her body had been taken over by the devil, and his daughter had been replaced by Annabelle. Under the double blow, John could no longer take care of the devil.
"Leah!"
"Leah!"
Rapid footsteps sounded in the corridor, and John opened the doors looking for his child.
Not long ago, he gave Leah a bath and watched her sleep with Mia. After returning to the room, Mia went to take a shower, and he saw that scene. In such a short period of time, Liya should still be at home, and the devil should not have a chance to attack.
But maybe... what he saw today, the daughter he had been holding, was actually Annabelle?
This terrifying and crazy speculation popped into his mind uncontrollably, giving this man a heavy blow in his heart.
John staggered and almost fell. The suppressed cries in his throat were squeezed out little by little. He felt that his world was about to collapse.
Just then, the cry of a baby sounded in the house. It was very faint at first, and John thought he was hallucinating, so he covered his mouth and listened carefully.
"Leah?" John followed the sound and looked towards the door leading to the basement.
The closer he got to the door, the clearer the child's cry became. As the door opened, John was already sure that Lea was underneath. He reached out and pressed the switch on the wall, but the light inside did not move, and it was still dark inside.
John took out his mobile phone and used the flashlight to shine downwards. The first thing he saw was a broken incandescent light bulb.
As soon as the man stepped down the stairs, he felt a sudden force on his back and rolled down the stairs.
Behind him, Mia, wrapped in a bathrobe, retracted her hand expressionlessly, and there were bruises on her neck.
At the same time, on a dark highway, Sam, whose eyes were bloodshot, was driving expressionlessly while his brother Dean was lying next to him, fast asleep.
He glanced at the time on his watch. When the shift change time came, he would stop the car on time and wake Dean up. !
