"Huh, what's going on? Why are the other dolls of that woman missing?"
This sentence came from Inspector Jim, and what he was currently concerned about was precisely the puppets. They were undoubtedly the many puppets that Mary Shaw made during her lifetime and took them to the grave.
The process is not complicated, and the logic is basically smooth. After learning from Jamie last night that Mary Xiao was the murderer, although Inspector Jim does not believe in the god of fire, under Jamie's excitement, the middle-aged man still might More or less influenced by it, he gradually changed from disbelief at the beginning to half-belief. Prompted by doubts, Detective Jim changed his methods and targets. Instead of keeping a close eye on Jamie alone, he started to investigate the dead man closely after Jamie's information was revealed. Half a century later, Mary Shaw launched a tentative investigation. Not only that, during the investigation in the town for several days, Detective Jim heard some legends about Mary Shaw, and then learned that Mary Shaw died that year. Afterwards, a large number of dolls were buried with them. In order to appease the souls of the dead, those who had been created by Mary Shaw were buried around Mary Shaw's grave. At this moment, what Inspector Jim was doing was undoubtedly digging with a hoe. Yes, since Jamie said that his wife's death was related to the doll, how could Inspector Jim let go of the key clue of the doll? Can……
But the problem is that most of the day has passed, and he and He Fei have taken turns digging holes all morning and half the afternoon, but they have found nothing!
No, there is everything. Excavation along the left and right sides of the tomb has not unearthed a single doll!
what happened? What exactly is going on? Where have all the dolls gone? If these dolls have been dug out and hidden in advance, then who did this? And where are these dolls now?
Listening to the middle-aged man talking to himself with confusion, He Fei did not answer, but secretly glanced across the way at Inspector Jim who was thinking hard. After a long time, He Fei turned around and looked back at the tombstone. In the process, his expression was complicated, and he hesitated to speak. , as if he wanted to say something but was forced to shut up due to some scruples. It was said to be so, but in fact it was also true. At this moment, He Fei, who was greatly restricted in his ability due to the rules, was in a state of anger. To the extreme!
To be honest, if this mission is not role-playing and there are not so many rules and regulations, then He Fei thinks that he has a lot of confidence in solving the crisis in advance. It is not that he is bragging, but that he has obtained a lot of information from his teammates. In the end Analyze Mary Xiao’s weakness. Yes, weakness. Although Mary Xiao is so powerful, she is not absolutely invincible. The opponent has a life gate. It is a rare carrier-type monster, a vengeful evil that relies on its carrier to act recklessly and exist for a long time. Spirit, in this case, the solution is self-evident, that is, destruction, and the only thing the executor has to do now is to destroy Mary Shaw's body as soon as possible together with all the dolls he has made in the past.
But unfortunately...
Things went against expectations. Limited by the assigned identities and the punishments imposed by the rules, it was difficult for everyone to let go. They had no choice but to follow the plot as they did at the beginning, obeying the plot while making subtle interference, and guiding the characters in the plot without violating the rules. Yes, this is what He Fei is doing now. In addition to suggesting that Inspector Jim try to investigate the doll last night, he also suggested that Inspector Jim simply dig up the grave and check it out a few hours ago. The apparent purpose was to find the doll, but then He Fei's real purpose was to check whether Mary Xiao's body was still there. If it was still in the tomb, he would do anything to burn the body even if the survival points were deducted. The idea was good, but Inspector Jim refused without thinking. , the reason is very simple, that is...
Do you think a mere coffin can hold so many dolls?
………
Deception is a skill and a knowledge. No matter what the inside story is, at least He Fei thinks he has mastered part of the essence.
He Fei tried to rely on his superb deception ability to get Inspector Jim to dig up the grave, dig out the woman's coffin, and then find a way to destroy the body. In the end, he failed. It was not that his deception ability was reduced, but that he One thing was overlooked in his eagerness, and the reason was just as Inspector Jim argued. Do you think a mere coffin can hold so many dolls?
The answer is obviously impossible. At the same time, He Fei also experienced for the first time how uncomfortable it is to stay with a criminal investigation policeman for a long time. Although Inspector Jim is a plot character, the other party is a police detective after all, and his criminal investigation sense His analytical ability is naturally not low. He has been following the middle-aged man to participate in the investigation for several days, and he has a deep understanding that the reason why the other person became the detective is that he has some real abilities. If this case is just an ordinary case, then Presumably, Inspector Jim's investigative methods may have already found the result. Unfortunately, this is not an ordinary case, but a supernatural case, a terrifying incident with real worms. Ordinary methods will not work at all!
Fortunately, nothing is absolute. Even if Inspector Jim rejects his suggestion, He Fei still does not intend to give up. He has already made up his mind that after the two leave the cemetery, he will find a reason to leave Inspector Jim and then be alone. A man returns to the cemetery, and when the time comes he will dig up the grave and burn the body no matter what!
(Of course, burning the corpse is only the first step of the plan. After destroying the female corpse, the next thing to deal with is the Billy doll in Jamie's hand, the 100 dolls in the abandoned theater, and the The perfect doll exists in Orr Manor!)
(What is perfect about a perfect doll? In addition to being extremely lifelike and resembling a living person, does this kind of thing have any other special features?)
………
Just as He Fei, who was in the cemetery, was formulating a plan for the subsequent action, at the same time, the scene shifted to the largest residence in the town, Orr Manor.
Click, click.
Accompanied by a series of crunching sounds made by scissors, twigs fell and leaves flew. Li Tianheng, currently dressed as a gardener, was working blankly and silently. He was mechanically pruning the vegetation in front of him in the garden. His work today It's very simple. You just need to trim the rows of kochia in front of you into a round shape. There is no doubt that this is the job of a gardener. It stands to reason that this job is not tiring and has no technical content, so it should be easy to do. That's right, but even though the work is easy, the mentality of the young man with glitches is not easy. No, don't talk about ease. It can even be described as frightened. The reason is that he doesn't want to look at it when he sees it. Something I happened to see...
During the morning, Ella, the mistress of the manor, drove out. When they saw what happened, Li Tianheng, who was in the manor, and Chen Shuihong, who was guarding the door, had no idea what the scary woman was going to do when she went out. The only surprise was that the woman He left quickly and came back quickly. It took less than an hour for the couple to return to the manor. After parking the car at the door of the villa, the woman who got out of the car did not enter the room immediately. Instead, she scanned the surroundings of the manor with vigilant eyes until she confirmed that the two of them were there. The famous gardeners were not nearby, so the woman moved cautiously and pulled something out from the trunk of the car. She pulled out something about a person's height and wrapped in white cloth. Then, Ella took it in The door of the villa is closed.
Although on the surface it seemed that there were no women nearby so he had no qualms about dragging things around, but in fact, Li Tianheng, who was hiding behind a pile of flowerbeds in the distance, had already seen everything he was doing!
As for what is contained in the white cloth?
No need to doubt, no need to doubt, I believe anyone who has watched the movie "Dead Silence" can guess that the white cloth must be a corpse! It was 100% a dead person. Although he couldn't figure out who the dead person was, when he saw that scene, Li Tianheng shuddered, and his already tense heart beat faster and faster. Someone must have been confused when he saw this, and he was confused because a few hours had passed. , even if you are afraid of young people with glitches, you shouldn’t continue to do so, right? Wrong, things are not that simple. The reason why I am still scared now is because, just a few minutes ago, the woman named Ella drove away from the manor again!
The first time I went out and came back with a corpse, what would it be like the second time? The answer is obvious!
Of course, as a fellow sufferer and an unlucky guy in the same situation, Li Tianheng could also see a middle-aged fat man in charge of the door. He felt indescribable, as if his naked body fell into the cold twelfth lunar month. Like in the well, looking at the black car fading away outside the door, the fat face of the deputy county magistrate trembles and the hair is rising. It can be imagined that when a person knows that the place he is currently staying in is one of the most terrifying places in the film, and the heroine of the manor is not Human beings, Chen Shuihong couldn't help but feel goosebumps all over his body every time he thought about this. Let alone Chen Shuihong, I believe that no normal person would be content. In the end, after watching Ella leave the manor for the second time, Chen Shuihong collapsed completely. .
He had been suppressed for a long time and could no longer endure the fear that lasted for several days. The fat man was about to be unable to bear it anymore, and his fat face could not help but tremble. The more he thought about it, the more he became afraid, and the more he thought about it, the more he believed that he was not going to die soon. Yes, Staying together for a long time with a half-human, half-monster and vicious woman in the original drama, who knows when she will kill him? Since tragedy will happen sooner or later, it is better to take the opportunity to save yourself and escape from the manor when Ella is not there!
(Yes, to save yourself, you must find a way to escape from the manor! As for how to escape...)
Thinking of this, the deputy county magistrate turned his head and looked back, looking forward to Li Tianheng, who was working silently in the garden. Then, as his eyes rolled, Chen Shuihong came to his mind, and while formulating a plan, he raised his feet and stepped forward, waiting. After arriving in front of the young man, the two stared at each other in silence for a long time. Suddenly, Chen Shuihong started to move. In a slightly exaggerated gesture, he immediately covered his forehead with his hands and breathed unevenly. He looked uncomfortable under the suspicious gaze of the young man. Finally, He said something: "Well, um, Li Tianheng, I'm feeling a little uncomfortable, so now I'm going to the town clinic to see a doctor. When Mrs. Ella comes back, I hope you can ask her for a sick leave for me."
What! ! !
One stone stirred up a thousand waves, one word shocked everyone. As soon as Chen Shuihong said this, Li Tianheng's first reaction was that this fat man must be crazy! Is this fat man planning to break the rules and escape from the manor privately? Isn't this guy afraid of having his survival points deducted?
(Huh? Wait, is it difficult, is it difficult...)
As mentioned above, when Leng Buding heard that Chen Shuihong was planning to leave the manor, Li Tianheng's eyes widened in surprise. But after thinking about it, he felt that something was not right. After thinking about it again and again, the young man finally figured out the key. Yes, after a short period of thinking, , he had roughly guessed what Chen Shuihong's plan was, and the other party's so-called plan was just to find reasons to take advantage of the loophole!
The logic is self-evident, and the key is simple and clear. Although the other party is restricted by his personal status and cannot leave the manor without authorization, please don't forget that the rules also mention that the executor is not absolutely restricted by As a person, as long as you have a logical enough reason to do something, you can actually break free from the rules. That is to say, as long as your excuse is appropriate and well-founded, even if you do something that is not in line with your personal identity, the curse will still not apply. You will be judged to have violated the rules. I didn't expect it. I didn't expect it. This fat man actually thought of an escape method using illness as an excuse. A reasonable way to avoid punishment and escape from the manor!
Pretending to be sick, he is actually pretending to be sick. He is indeed a veteran who has been in the officialdom for decades. His sharp mind is really extraordinary. Of course, this is nonsense. If Chen Shuihong is really a fool, how could he have been stable for many years in an agency that has always had serious intrigues? Does not fall? So that he finally climbed to the position of deputy minister?
At the same time, just when Li Tianheng suddenly realized the truth and looked horrified, across from him, Chen Shuihong looked uncomfortable and painful on the surface, but deep down he was already blooming with joy!
(God, Buddha, I am such a genius, I actually came up with this method! Yes, pretending to be sick, as long as I am sick, then everyone will know that I must see a doctor when I am sick, so that I can escape from the manor and escape. God, if the worst happens, go to the clinic and take it with you. It's better than staying in the manor anyway. After all, if you continue to stay here, you will die sooner or later! Li Tianheng, Li Tianheng, don't blame me for leaving you alone. If you want to blame me, blame you for not being smarter than me! Young man, You are still too young after all, and society is not as easy to get along with as you think.)
"you you you……"
Sure enough, watching the fat man show his pain and listening to what the other person said, Li Tianheng, who was trying to get through the orifice opposite him, was instantly angry. He immediately raised his finger and pointed at the fat man in front of him, his face twitching while pointing at him, not knowing what to say, yes. , he is extremely angry at this moment! That's because the other party is clearly trying to trick you! Mahler Gobi, you, Fatty Chen, don’t have the guts to face Ella directly and you actually want me to come forward and ask for leave for you? Let’s not talk about whether the reason given by the other party will be cursed and judged as a violation. Just the fact that the other party asked me to take leave for him is already a typical betrayal of teammates, a typical dead Taoist friend but a poor Taoist! You must know that Ella is not a human being, but something that is neither human nor a squid. Li Tianheng can guess with his toes that when he asks for sick leave in front of Ella for Chen Shuihong who has escaped, the other party will definitely think that it is an excuse. , and thus instinctively had murderous intentions towards himself who continued to stay in the manor!
Yes, one person has already escaped. To prevent the second person from escaping, killing the second person before he escapes is undoubtedly the best solution! what does that mean?
This means that once Chen Shuihong pretends to be ill and escapes, Li Tianheng will be in a worrying situation and the danger will increase. He will die at any time and be killed by Ella at any time!
Someone may ask after seeing this, if this is the case, can Li Tianheng refuse Chen Shuihong's so-called request for leave in lieu? It seemed feasible, but Li Tianheng couldn't refuse! The reason is very simple. Although Chen Shuihong is pretending to be ill and both of them are well aware of his plan, on the surface of the plot, Li Tianheng and Chen Shuihong are still the gardeners of the manor, colleagues and workers, and they work and serve in the manor together. Since the identity of an acquaintance is fixed and there is no doubt about it, when a worker suddenly becomes ill and urgently needs to go to the hospital and asks another worker to ask for leave from the leader on his behalf, it is undoubtedly a reasonable thing and the request is extremely reasonable. It was completely impossible to refuse. On the contrary, after the other party left, if he, Li Tianheng, did not explain the reason for Chen Shuihong's leave to Ella who was driving back, once Ella took the initiative to ask about Chen Shuihong's whereabouts, Li Tianheng, who did not ask for leave for Chen Shuihong at that time, would be considered useless. If your logic violates the rules, your survival points will even be deducted!
So, the result came out, two results, no matter which kind of terrible result came out, which was of no benefit to Li Tianheng:
If he agrees to take leave for him and the other party escapes, he will most likely be in danger and will be killed by the angry Ella at any time.
If he refuses to ask for leave for him, Chen Shuihong will still run away, but he will be cursed and punished with points deducted for being illogical. In the end, he will still have to state the truth when asked by Ella to ask for leave for him.
Li Tianheng was not a fool. In a short period of time, he had quickly figured out the key to the matter. This was a conspiracy, a despicable conspiracy to benefit himself at the expense of others but he could not refuse!
(Chen Shuihong, I’m so stupid! You despicable bastard who benefits yourself at the expense of others!)
As expected by Chen Shuihong, as soon as Chen Shuihong used the trick of pretending to be sick, the troubled young man really woke up. After a moment of meditation, his eyes widened and his face suddenly changed as if he understood something. Later, he showed a look of anger. Angry, he was angry. Due to the rules of the curse, Li Tianheng couldn't say it clearly, so he had no choice but to suppress his anger and answer. While staring at the other party, he pretended to be confused and said: "What? Are you feeling uncomfortable? Are you sick? You Can’t you wait for your wife to come back and ask for leave?”
"Ouch, my head hurts so much. No, no, I don't have time to wait for Madam to come back. I have to go to the clinic to see a doctor first. When Madam comes back, you can ask for a leave for me and it will be fine soon? It's just a matter of talking. , It’s no big deal, oh, I can’t help it anymore, I have to leave!”
After saying that, without waiting for the young man's reaction, Chen Shuihong turned around and left, fleeing decisively. While making a gesture of discomfort, he ran quickly after finishing his sentence and rushed straight to the gate of the manor. Although he was sick, he was very fast but completely. There was no sign of illness. In just ten seconds, Chen Shuihong's plump figure had already run out of the manor! Yes, Chen Shuihong was still worried. What he was most worried about was that Li Tianheng would imitate him and pretend to be sick. The reason why he ran away immediately was because he didn't want to give Li Tianheng any time to react!
Da da da da da!
Unexpectedly, Fatty Chen actually ran away. At this moment, watching Chen Shuihong's shameless figure running further and further away, Li Tianheng was furious to death. Seeing that the situation was irreversible, in the end, he was so angry that he could only 'pay extra attention' The other party gritted his teeth and shouted loudly, and gave a farewell message to Chen Shuihong who was walking away from the door: "Chen Shuihong, run slower, don't be so hasty! Be careful of being hit by a car on the way!!!"
………
Let’s not talk about the nasty and secret curses between Chen Shuihong and Li Tianheng outside the villa. At the same time, their vision shifted and they entered the villa through the door.
"Chen Shuihong, run slower, don't be in such a hurry! Be careful of being hit by a car on the way!!!"
In front of the window, listening to Li Tianheng's angry shouts outside that were so loud that they could even be transmitted into the villa, Qian Xueling, who was currently cleaning the living room on the first floor, had no thoughts at all. She had no thoughts to pay attention to what Chen and Li were up to. It is true that On the surface, the two of them live in the same manor as she does. It seems that the three of them can really help and take care of each other. However, unfortunately, the two guys outside can't help her at all. First of all, you must understand that both of them are newcomers. As you can imagine, it is difficult for a newcomer to protect herself, let alone help herself. In addition, strictly speaking, as a maid, she is even more dangerous than Chen and Li as a gardener. After all, as a gardener, there is no need to enter the villa. But what about her? But she wants to stay in the villa for a long time!
Once you are inside the villa, you will undoubtedly have to face Ella for a long time, and face the vicious and vicious evil spirit who does not know whether it is a human or a wolf!
Fortunately, Qian Xueling has a lot of experience and a very strong mind. She is a veteran after all. She is a person who has experienced great storms anyway. And this beautiful lady who has experienced many missions can indeed deal with it rationally and calmly. She plays the role of a maid perfectly without any flaws. Although she has been basically isolated from the outside world for a few days, she can still guess through recent thinking that other senior people who are currently outside must be busy and must not I'm idle, let's not talk about other people. At least with He Fei's wisdom and character, he will never do nothing. There is also Zhao Ping. That man must be doing something, something related to finding a way out. Since many companions are busy with the matter, what about myself? What can Qian Xueling do?
The answer is that she can't do anything. It's not that she doesn't want to contribute, but that she is restricted and restricted to Orr Manor. Therefore, for the current plan, she just needs to survive and persist until her teammates Let's solve the mission and find a way out!
However……
Just when Qian Xueling suppressed her thoughts and was about to continue cleaning, for some reason, while walking through the living room, she paused suddenly and became inexplicably still. The reason was that she had just inadvertently witnessed a painting, which was hung on the side of the corridor. Oil paintings attract attention.
"Um?"
At this moment, in this corridor that was slightly dark due to the lack of sunlight, Qian Xueling was curious and looked closely at it. As far as she could see, she saw that the oil paintings on the wall were basically the same as the surrounding oil paintings, and the contents of the paintings were nothing more than some scenery or things. Celebrity portraits, so to speak, but if it were just like this, it would not have attracted Qian Xueling's attention. Yes, the content in the painting was a bit weird, which made the maid who paid attention to the oil paintings on the wall for the first time in several days couldn't help but be curious and slightly stunned. , looking at the oil painting through the field of vision, I saw that the things in the painting were very common, but the content was a bit strange. Unexpectedly, what the oil painting showed was a corridor, a dark corridor that seemed similar to the one I had seen before!
