Dancing Night

"I was stunned by my father's abnormality, but before I came back to my senses...there was a thunder in the distant sky."

"Um……"

Xiao Hua nodded in admiration, "The plot is rich enough to make a horror movie."

"Beibei read it quickly!" Sissel lay on the bed and pressed the hungry Gurui who was about to fly to Xiaobei's side, urging, "Listen to the back."

"Yeah." Xiaobei had actually seen the bottom, his brows were wrinkled, and he continued to read.

"It was covered by dark clouds outside, and it seemed that there was going to be a heavy rain. I said helplessly to my emotional father, 'It's raining so much now, I can't go.' Saying that, I went to the bed and wanted to close the windows...

Suddenly, I saw something in the woods... So I stopped and stared at the woods in a daze. I wondered if I had some kind of hallucination. I rubbed my eyes, but the sky quickly darkened... I can't see clearly.

'I'll go down and have a look. 'I wanted to leave, but my father stopped me, pointed out the window, and said,'Don't go through the main entrance, climb out from here. '

I wonder.

'You can take a look. ’ Father said with a wry smile, ‘When you go to the woods and take a look, you will understand. '

I was full of doubts, but I climbed out of the ledge, jumped off the platform, and went straight to the backyard.

I used to do this when I was a child, and the second floor was not too high, so I ran into the woods... and took a look.

I am terrified!

I stood foolishly in the forest.

The trees there have grown into towering trees, and these trees have the best memories of my childhood, but now...they have no branches and leaves, showing a brown-black color like stiff tree fossils.There was a dead body hanging on two trees.

Yes, you don’t have dizziness and I don’t have dizziness either. It’s a real corpse, withered and dead for many years... I can vaguely identify the corpse.

Stephen, Mike, Emma, ​​Linda, Krusey...

My former brothers and sisters, the brothers and sisters who grew up with me when I was a child, climbed trees, played games, black mothers, farm laborers, and even my lovely sheepdogs .

Then, a hoarse, desolate, maddened scream sounded in his ears.

I didn't know that the person who screamed was me until the burning pain came from my throat... I was away for a few years, during which my family members died, and the happy farm turned into hell, Father is also dying, everything is dead...

I looked back at the villa in the manor in the distance.

Through the floor-to-ceiling windows, you can see two bright colors in the dark villa.

One is Marilyn and the other is Maggie.

Mary wore a white gauze dress, Maggie a pink faux pas.

In other words... In the past few years, among the dry corpses in this dark villa, only Maggie, a living person who still maintains a bright color...

devil!Such a word popped out of my head, it sucked the lives of everyone around me, leaving behind, the only devil!

I ran back like crazy and grabbed Marilyn who was playing games with Maggie.

Both Mary and Maggie were terrified by me. I shielded Mary behind me and looked at Maggie. No matter how I looked at her, I felt her eyes were indescribably strange.

'Darling' Mary looked at me puzzled, thinking that I had suddenly become cranky.

I looked at Maggie warily, 'What did you do to them? '

The look on Maggie's face became puzzled, 'Thomas, what are you talking about? '

'Stop pretending, they're all dead! '

'...' After a long time, Maggie nodded lightly, 'Yes, everyone is dead, and we are the only ones left. '

'My God, is it caused by the plague? 'Mary finally understood why the manor was so desolate.

I still didn't want to let Maggie go. Regardless of everyone's obstruction, I threw her and her doll into the basement, locked the door, and called the police.

'Thomas! 'Mary was upset with my behavior, but I told her, 'Maggie is my age! '

After seeing the photo of Maggie and me when she was a child, Mary was stunned, she was completely stunned.

The sheriff of the town came with the constables.

In fact, everyone has long been suspicious of the events that happened in the village in recent years. However, because of my father's reputation, this is my family's private territory, so they have not come in to investigate.

I took the police chief to the woods on the back mountain and showed him the dead people there.

The sheriff and all the townsmen came, and all agreed—the devil did it! "

……

"Not right!"

When Xiaobei read this, Lan Ming said something to himself.

"Right, right!" Feng Xiaoyu also nodded, "It's like a reverse drama! If there is really such a big magic power, how could it be possible for that Thomas to call the police so easily?"

Xiaobei quickly saw the bottom, and said, "Oh, there is more!"

Everyone frowned and waited for him to read.

"To be honest, even though we don't say it, in the past ten years or so, almost everyone has suspected that Maggie is not human, or that she is a wraith haunted by ghosts.

On the one hand, she has a strange image and a lovely child's body hides a soul of unknown age.She always looks at us with lonely eyes, and no one knows what she is thinking.On the other hand, she comes from a concentration camp, the place where devils and ghosts gather.

In recent years, many strange things have happened in the small town, and disasters continue to kill people and animals...

Afterwards, the priest of the town also came, and everyone believed that Maggie was a demon... Only by burning her to death could the town be saved.

With so many people agreeing, only Mary strongly opposed it. She thought it was ignorant, even a murder case should be investigated clearly, and one should not casually say who is a devil.

Of course I also object, but thinking about those brothers and sisters who died in the forest behind me, I hesitated... Please curse me as much as you want, I am a cruel and ruthless person.I have a ghost in my heart, and in the bottom of my heart, I know that it is because of Maggie's love for me, and I have moved on, that's why she killed my relatives.I feel like I'm going crazy and want this to be explained right away... How selfish am I? !

In the end, Maggie was dragged out by the townspeople and thrown into the fire, where she was burned to death...

Strange to say, after Maggie's death, the dark clouds in the town dispersed, the trees sprouted new buds, and the grass sprouted on the green field. In less than half a month, everything returned to life.

All the people were very happy, but there was only one person who was depressed——Marilyn.

She seemed to have been greatly affected by Maggie's death. She sat on the sofa where she used to play house with Maggie, staring at Maggie's favorite doll, Sophie, in a daze, losing weight day by day.

My father, now cured of his illness, told me something to stop my guilt about killing Maggie.

It is said that after I stopped communicating with Maggie, Maggie became irritable and irritable... The family and her often had conflicts.Anyone who offends her will disappear the next day. After a long time, he found the bodies of those people in the back mountain, but the family has been controlled by Maggie.My father comforted me and said, 'Look at the blue sky and white clouds outside, we just killed a demon, if she stays here, more people will die. '

Reassured, I decided to take Mary back to New York and start a new life. "

After Xiaobei read this, he turned to the next piece of letter paper, and asked Lan Ming and the others puzzledly, "I always feel that things are endless. If Maggie is really a ghost, with such a strong power, why don't you kill those people and be willing?" that the earth be burned?"

"I also find it strange." Bailou lowered his head to study the doll carefully, and asked Xiaobei to continue reading the letter.

"When I returned to New York with Mary, Mary was still depressed and didn't speak, holding Sophie in a daze all day long. I was deeply worried, and I always felt that Maggie's doll, Sophie, looked very weird.

Later, just when I was about to burn Sophie on fire, Mary suddenly broke out, and she had a big fight with me.

She cursed at me in the most vicious language I have ever heard in my life. I can't describe it. I can't believe that this is the gentle Sophie I used to be. "

"It's over." Longque sneered, "So that's what happened."

"Well... this Thomas is really an idiot asking for trouble." Chiliao brushed the little wolf cub in his arms, and said to himself, "He really lost everything... except for Marilyn, his wife. , and a Maggie who loves him deeply, so I hate humans, selfish and arrogant."

"So, isn't the devil Maggie?" Feng Xiaoyu asked.

"Probably not." Sissel leaned over and looked at Sophie who was staring at the mahogany pile, "Ah...it's a witchcraft doll!"

"Witch Gu?" Xiaobei lowered his head and leaned over to look at him. Lan Ming poked his waist, which made him jump and turned to look at him.

"Beibei, don't be distracted, keep reading." Lan Ming urged in a low voice.

"." Xiaobei continued, "Since that day, Marilyn has changed. She dressed up in fashion, began to sing and sing every night, and became a happy social butterfly. I am busy with work every day, and she is busy with playing every day, but It is undeniable that...she is getting more and more beautiful day by day. I am deeply attracted by her beauty, pamper her, pamper her, and give her almost all my love.

Soon after, my father passed away, and I sold the estate for a good sum and invested the money in real estate.I also caught up with the good time. Before the real estate bubble burst, I made a good profit and exited, and successfully transferred the funds into the stock market.Before the bear market came, I exchanged all my funds for gold...Three times of investment, three times my value skyrocketed, knowing that I don't know how much money I have...At this time, wealth has no meaning for me The meaning is just the zero added at the end of the account.However, I am getting more and more empty day by day, I don't know what I am missing, my heart is empty, I dare not recall the past, and I am swallowed up by nightmares every night.

We have lived together like this for ten years, and I earn money for her to squander. She is more beautiful and radiant every day, and there are countless excellent suitors around her.But I am getting old day by day, feeling depressed day by day, and lonelier day by day.

Twenty years later, I entered middle age, but Marilyn was still eighteen or nineteen years old. We began to live apart in two places. She traveled around the world to have fun, and I sat alone in the room in a daze after finishing my career.

Until this moment, I finally realized... maybe I was wrong, we were all wrong!But I dare not pursue the truth, I am afraid that if I understand the result, I will go crazy. "

"Has Marilyn been controlled?" Domi couldn't help frowning, "Sophie is the real carrier?"

"Very likely." Lan Ming nodded, "But Marilyn must have become the perfect carrier."

"There is the last paragraph in the letter." Xiaobei said, "It wasn't until last year when I was cleaning up the attic that I found Sophie locked in a box.

When I looked at Sophie, I didn't know why I suddenly thought of Maggie, so I gently hugged Sophie and stroked... I found that there was a circle of sutures on Sophie's side that was particularly obvious, as if it had been opened and re-opened. sewn on.

I found scissors to open it, and found a letter from Sophie's body. The familiar handwriting made my eyes fill with tears and regret.

The letter was still there, and after I read it, I understood everything.

Unlimited guilt and remorse have completely crushed me, I am dying, but the sad resentment still cannot be released from my heart, I think I will go to hell or turn into a ghost after death, these are not enough to punish my selfishness people.But the real murderer is still at large, the one who used my stupidity to hurt the people I love the most!

If you have the ability, please help me catch it, she should be back in a short time, this is the last thing I can do for Maggie and Marilyn.

Finally, thank you for accepting my commission.

Xiaobei finished his faith, and Bailou also found the opening from Sophie's waist, and took out a roll of letter paper from it, a very old parchment.

"I can't understand what's written on it." Xiaobei handed the letter paper to Lan Ming helplessly.

Lan Ming frowned, Xiesel took it and said, "It's written in Portuguese, and many people in Brazil speak Portuguese."

The corners of everyone's mouths twitched—the little idiot Xissel can understand Portuguese, and it really is all useless knowledge.

"Dear Thomas." Sissel began to read the letter:

"I'm Maggie. By the time you read this letter, I may not be here anymore. You don't have to feel guilty or sad. I'm too damn old.

I'm sorry I've been keeping it from you, but now, I want to tell you a secret.

When I was adopted by 'father', I was actually older than my father. "

"Isn't it?!" Hissel was surprised, "Really?"

"Aging does exist." Bailou said, "I have seen records of this, and it is difficult to explain it medically. Patients with aging are different from patients with dwarfism. They hardly change their voices or develop. The normal form is similar to that of a child, most of the intelligence cannot be developed, but some of them will have the same intelligence as ordinary people, so they become..."

"Claudia from Interview with the Vampire!" Feng Xiaoyu clapped his hands.

Everyone was speechless...it seemed to be the case.

"Keep going." Xiaobei urged Xissel.

"I didn't live well before the war. I used to have black hair and black eyes. Everyone thought I was a gypsy witch. I lived a wandering life. Once, when I passed a grave, I picked up Sophie.

At that time, Sophie was just an ordinary doll, and I was very lonely, so I stayed with her until the war started and I was imprisoned in a concentration camp.

I was not afraid at the time and felt that dying was a relief.Sophie talked to me at this time.

She told me that she can protect me, but I have to make a contract with her——I can't leave it for the rest of my life, until I die, it will try my best to meet my requirements, and I will try my best to help it.

Of course I said yes, and so... I survived and transformed from a dark-haired witch into a cute doll.

Next, I was adopted by my kind 'Dad', and I was very happy during the time with you.

You wrote about your guilt for alienating me... I can tell you now, Thomas, that you are all my children and I love you dearly.In addition, I was the one who deliberately alienated you. I must protect your safety, because Sophie has changed.

Sophie became irritable because she wanted to go out to the outside world, she was a bloodthirsty demon... But the contract between me and her became a bond between us, she killed many people, but she still couldn't get rid of me, I trapped her in the manor and wanted to die of old age with her.

But Sophie blamed me for all the bad things.

I can't tell anyone who she really is because no one will believe me and she's threatening me with my father's life and yours.

After I heard that you got married, I was very happy, but Sophie changed the letter from her father and tricked you back.

I think you have misunderstood, I really like Marilyn, she is your wife, I treat her as my child, I want to make her happy... When you locked me in the basement, I saw Sophie's Smile, knowing it worked, she can get rid of me for good.

I scribbled this letter in my room, wondering when you'll find out that Sophie might be bad for Marilyn...I can see that she's too eager for that beautiful young body.

Thomas, I'm so sorry for ruining your life by my presence, please forgive me, love Maggie. "

"He was burned to death not long after writing the letter." Feng Xiaoyu frowned slightly, "It's really ridiculous."

"But it's true that many people would doubt Maggie and not that doll." Qi Liao was a little helpless, "What kind of evil spirit is that Sophie? Can you see it?"

Bai Lou picked up the doll, looked at it, and said, "Hmm... I can't tell, I've been away for too long."

"Why did you put peach wood on the doll?" Xiaobei was puzzled.

"It's a kind of bondage." Sphink said, "The doll is the earliest carrier of the soul body. No matter where the real Sophie goes, he can't get rid of this doll. If a peach tree is tied in the doll's heart, it may not be possible. Kill Sophie, but it would feel like a fly in her bowl... so she should come back to Thomas."

"Let's go to Tongmas's house." Xiaobei suggested, "I want to know what Sophie is?"

"Indeed." Lan Ming nodded, "It's time to avenge those dead souls."

Everyone nodded.

Bai Lou put the doll back into the box, and everyone set off on the road, rushing to Thomas's residence according to the address left on the envelope... going to meet the real Sophie for a while.
