Chapter 155 The Truth Behind

"...According to the files, Mary Xiao once raised a child, but the child disappeared after she was hospitalized due to gas poisoning, because no one but anyone knew what the child looked like, so the case of the disappearance ended in nothing Of……"

Washington, BSI headquarters.

Angela looked at the reports of the accident recorded by the federal and local media tabloids, and said to BSI and others in front of her.

"Maybe the gas poisoning that year was not an accident."

Arms were tied to a wooden plank and hung around the neck. Detective Zhou said after hearing Angela's report.

"After killing her own child, Mary Shaw planned to commit suicide in fear of crime, but she was rescued later."

"Perhaps, it's not because of fear of sin."

Taking a sip from the teacup in his hand, Spike corrected.

"Mary Shaw intended from the beginning to die with him after killing the child."

"but why?"

Hearing Spike's words, Detective Phil showed a puzzled expression on his face.

Compared to Detective Zhou, his injuries were not bad. Although he was also wearing a belt, they were basically just skin injuries.

"Perhaps out of desperation..."

He reached out his hand and took out a crumpled old photo from his pocket, and handed it to everyone in BSI.

In the photo, it can be clearly seen that a woman is standing in front of a huge building that looks like a circus tent, holding a deformed boy in her arms, and tightly holding a rough puppet toy in the boy's hand .

"At that time, the society was not friendly to deformed children. Although Mary Shaw moved to the suburbs with her child, the day-to-day life accompanied by the child's continuous growth, this despair has not been relieved, but has become a bit heavier... "

Recalling the video clips he saw under the tree, Spike pieced together: "In the end, in desperation, Mary Shaw decided to kill the child to end his suffering in this world, and then committed suicide just by coincidence. After being rescued, she finally left the wooden house, and in the next 20 years, Mary Shaw's past became a nursery rhyme, which finally attracted a group of curious people, and under their soul-calling ceremony, the spirit of the dead child was summoned... ..."

Also as a woman, after listening to Spike's description of Mary Shaw's past, Angela looked down at the child with a deformed head in the photo. She could imagine Mary Shaw's inner despair at that time.

"So, Mary Shaw and her children are actually victims."

"victim?"

Hearing Angela's slightly sympathetic tone, Agent Phil couldn't help but retort: ​​"If you saw what happened in the wooden house, you wouldn't think so."

"That's because of the soul-calling ceremony. Without the soul-calling of those people, Mary Shaw's dead child would not have come to reality."

"Now that group of people have also received the punishment they deserved."

Coming out of the BSI chief's office, Amanda heard the conversation of several people, and then spoke.

"Is there really no way to bring them back?"

While talking, Amanda turned her head and glanced at Spike, who was sitting quietly drinking tea, and couldn't help asking.

"No."

Facing Amanda's inquiry, Spike put down the teacup in his hand and shook his head slightly.

"They have been eroded too deeply by the power of the curse, and their whole people have been completely transformed into puppets."

Before, after digging out the puppet's sustenance under the tree, Amanda lit the fire without hesitation and burned everything including the corpse.

With the destruction of the corpse, the strangeness of possession lost its sustenance.

Those controlled missing persons, as well as FBI agents and New York City police, were all recovered.

Except for Jamie and others who first filmed the video of the soul-calling, they were too deeply eroded by the power of the curse, and they have completely turned into puppets and lost the possibility of turning back into humans.

Hearing Spike's reply, Amanda had a headache.

There are five more puppets out of thin air. BSI not only needs to deal with the families of these people, but also needs to think about how to arrange these puppets. Although they seem to be no different from puppets, they are transformed from people after all. When supernatural powers are involved, it is impossible for BSI to deal with it casually.

"It seems that next, I need to write more than one report."

Rubbing her aching head for some unknown reason, Amanda looked at the BSI people in front of her and said coldly.

"Not only me, but you who participated in the operation this time also need to write a report."

Hearing Amanda's words, the expression on Agent Phil's face immediately became bitter.

He turned his head to look at Detective Zhou, but the latter said blankly, "Don't look at me, my hand is hurt."

Hearing Detective Zhou's words, Detective Phil twitched his mouth, and then looked at Spike to the side.

Bowing his head and taking a sip of hot tea, Spike replied as if he had nothing to do with himself: "I'm just a BSI consultant, and I don't need to write a report."

After two blows in succession, Agent Phil could only turn his eyes to his last hope, but Angela shrugged her shoulders and said with a helpless expression when she met his eyes: "I'm only in charge of assistance, so it doesn't count." in official action."

"Come on, no, I'm the only one who has to write the report in the end."

"In fact, it's not just you alone, I'm with you too."

Hearing Agent Phil's desperate cry, Amanda suppressed a smile and issued a 'kindness' reminder.

"Head..."

In the group office, right between the two talking.

Angela looked down at the photos Spike had found, and couldn't help asking Amanda.

"So, are we going to arrest Mary Shaw for the murder of her own child?"

Intellectually, Angela knew that what Mary Xiao had done should be punished as it should be, but thinking of Mary Xiao's inner despair when she did all this, and her subsequent suicide, Angela's heart was full of pain. It is inevitable that there will be some pity.

"..."

In the entire office, following Angela's inquiry, the atmosphere fell silent.

Detective Zhou and Detective Phil cast their eyes on Angela in front of them, and Spike also stopped drinking tea in his hand and looked towards her.

Hearing the inquiry from her agent Angela, Amanda looked down at the photos on the table.

As a participant in the exhumation of the body at that time, she knew better than Angela what the child looked like when he died. The corrupted body of the other party was curled up in a bag, and there was only a broken toy puppet beside her.

Withdrawing her gaze, Amanda looked at Agent Angela in front of her and gave her own answer.

"The investigation of homicides is the responsibility of the FBI and the New York Police Department. BSI is only responsible for the investigation of supernatural cases..."
