The Grim Reaper Can't Be Tricked

Cen Jin put his hand into his pocket and came across a hard object. He took it out and saw that it was his two work ID cards, which not only had a photo but also a name: Huang Biqi.

Intuition told him that his surname was not Huang.

Someone came over and patted him on the shoulder. When Cen Jin turned his head, he saw a strange young man holding the same work ID card and asked: "Going together?" He saw the sign in Cen Jin's hand and immediately recognized his relatives: "Great, my name is Sao Luo is also the reporter who took the order to visit and take some photos."

It was raining heavily outside the house, the night was dark, a bus was parked in the courtyard, and the lights of the Ferris wheel, roller coaster and other facilities in the distance were turned off one by one, and finally only this weird doll house remained.

Saul: "Which magazine are you from?"

Cen Jin casually mentioned a name, Saul thought for a long time but couldn't match up with any magazine in his memory, he just thought it was Huang Mao who didn't want to disclose the name and made it up.

He shook the work pass in his hand and said, "Have you heard of the Moon News?"

Cen Jin: "I have only heard of The Sun, a notorious media newspaper."

Saul: "The Moon is indeed not as famous as the Sun. It is very low-key, but it is well-known in the industry. It has always been a leader, and it is not uncommon to dig out the clicks of celebrities' dirty blogs." After a pause of two seconds, he continued: " Ever heard of Africa's coastline of death?"

Cen Jin shook his head: "I've never heard of it."

Saul: "Do you know the Bermuda Triangle? The coastline of death is similar to Bermuda. It is called the cemetery of ships. Any ship, no matter how big or small, will have an accident as long as it enters the area of ​​the coastline of death, and everyone will be killed. There was a big weird incident a few years ago. Push the coastline of death to the eyes of the world, do you know who pushed it?"

"The Moon?"

"Yes. There are many industries in Moon News, involving tourist hotels, amusement parks, media newspapers, and live broadcasting. I managed to apply for the job with great difficulty. I joined Moon News. I just started work last week, and I received a big job this week. "

Cen Jin: "The big job is the doll's house? Is there anything about this house worth reporting?"

"Not just this house, but the entire amusement park is valuable. Don't you know that the outside world is paying attention to this amusement park?" Saul looked at Huangmao suspiciously: "Do you know what this amusement park is called?"

Cen Jin remembered the information on another work permit, and blurted out: "God's sweet home."

"So you still know." Saul snorted twice, and then said after being quiet for a while: "This amusement park has invested a lot, and specially selected a special place to build a theme park with the same name. It has been open for less than half a year, and many times... Many people on the Internet urged the moon Newspaper investigates the amusement park. The Moon Newspaper is a bright light in the industry, and a group of tabloid newspapers also ran in when they saw it accepting investigation requests, not to see if they had the ability to protect themselves."

Saul was thinking about it, and the content of a sentence in the middle was blurred, and he didn't know what the content after "multiple times" was. Cen Jin guessed it was not a good thing.

"What did you find?" Saul asked.

Cen Jin: "Nothing."

Saul stared at his face, making sure he wasn't lying, and then his face relaxed a little, and then he saw another person approaching, with golden vertical pupils like snakes, and a work ID hanging on his chest. His name was David, and he was also a moon. reporter.

Seeing that his occupation seemed to be higher than that of Saul, he glanced at the yellow hair, and then looked at Saul, who greeted him proactively.

David: "Work?"

Saul: "Yes, Director."

David: "You are busy with your work, I am here to travel."

Saul breathed a sigh of relief subtly, he was afraid that David would steal the news from him.

At this time, twelve strangers next to them said that they were tourists and tour guides, and they came to visit the amusement park. Unexpectedly, the heavy rain caused the amusement park to be closed early, and the car broke down. They had no choice but to find a nearby house to hide from the rain.

The tour guide said: "Our last stop was the doll's house. We thought it was just a coincidence that we couldn't visit due to the heavy rain."

Eleven tourists said: "Why don't you take the opportunity to visit the doll house?"

"No." Someone refused in the darkness. When everyone looked over, they saw that it was a blonde girl with a work card hanging on her chest to prove that she was an employee of the amusement park. "The dollhouse is closed today."

"Your name is Leni, right?" The tour guide looked at the blonde girl's work card and discussed, "This is the experience ticket we bought. Before entering the park, we bought tickets for all the play items, including the doll house. It makes sense that we can all visit the dollhouse."

The blond Leni frowned tightly, not very happy. The tour guide gave the tourists behind him a wink. Eleven tourists immediately gathered around to ask Leni to accommodate and let them play for a while, and they had already called for repairs. When the bus was repaired, at that time The rain should also be a little lighter. They just finished playing and left. It would be nice not to delay each other's affairs.

"I follow the rules and have no right to decide whether you will stay or not."

The blond Lenny was quite well-behaved. A girl in a black dress, black hat and red shoes came out behind her, and smiled at everyone, "Since they all want to visit and have tickets, let them have fun. Anyway, we still have Eight staff members help to maintain order, what is there to be afraid of?"

Miss Red Shoes: "You should have read the novel "God's Sweet Home", and you know that the dollhouse is the most special place in the whole home. It is no exaggeration to say that it is the heart of the home. So I hope that if you have a heart Those with medical history, please withdraw voluntarily, and also hope to sign a guarantee that you will not be held accountable for personal accidents, so as to prevent some people from blackmailing our home."

Eleven tourists and tour guides expressed that they could sign a letter of guarantee. Miss Red Shoes looked at David and the three of them again, and her eyes stayed on Huang Mao for a while before moving away. For some reason, she wanted to kill Huang Mao.

Who does this dead hang look want to deceive?

As soon as this thought flashed across her mind, Miss Red Shoes was stunned. It was strange. Huang Mao's appearance in her memory was a funeral. Why did she feel that the other party was cheating?

The blond Leni and Miss Red Shoes stood side by side, and six amusement park workers walked out behind them.

Miss Red Shoes: "The doll house has some special mechanisms. Be careful, you can find clues to trigger the mechanism, find all the prompt sentences in each room, and piece together the story of the dolls in that house."

Cen Jin suddenly asked: "Then pass the customs?"

Miss Red Shoes looked at her with a smirk: "Yes, there will be some rewards for customs clearance. If you find the owner of the doll house, you can get the highest reward of [-] Euros."

Cen Jin's eyelids twitched, and he pressed his heart, the sound of his heart beating.

Saul whispered: "It's impossible to find the owner of the dollhouse. The amusement park was originally a theme park built according to that book, but the finale of the last book in the "Honey Garden" series "Dollhouse" did not remind the dollhouse Who is the owner of the house? Many readers have watched all the series repeatedly and deduced the identity of this person, and they said that there is no such person. But the author said that the owner of the dollhouse is everywhere and has appeared many times.”

Cen Jin took out his mobile phone to look it up, and the little chrysanthemum scrolled around on the page, as if mocking him that 'I don't have a signal'.

Saul comforted: "In fact, the doll's house is full of hints about the stories of other previous series, and you can find them if you have fun. But everyone who appears here probably has read the original work, and they know the stories that happened to the dolls. Chu, it's quite boring."

Blonde Lenny: "Tips for visiting a dollhouse: 1. Don't make too much noise."

Saul whispered: "These are the precautions for the dollhouse mentioned in the book, and they copied them as they are. The second precaution: no running in the corridor."

Miss Red Shoes: "3. Do not damage dolls or bow to dolls."

Blonde Lenny: "4. Don't leave the house halfway."

Miss Red Shoes: "5. Don't kill people."

Blonde Lenny: "6. Don't let the dolls know they're different from you."

Blonde Lenny: "7. Deduce the story of the doll, please leave the house immediately within 2 minutes—"

"Otherwise it will irritate the doll. There is also the eighth note: each room can only accommodate up to four people, and must be accompanied by one or more staff members." Saul's voice followed the tone of blonde Laine and Miss Red Shoes The cold voices almost overlapped, and said to Cen Jin: "There are a total of 1 admonition rules, which must not be violated."

"What happens if you violate it?"

"Death." Saul said with a smile, "Of course it's not real death, it's just that the game failed."

Cen Jin always felt that this game was a bit familiar, as if he had played a similar game before, but he didn't say too much, because Leni and Red Shoes announced the start of the game, and they could enter the house at will, as long as they followed the precautions.

Saul led Cen Jin and David to form a small team to choose a house on the first floor, and a staff member named 'Black Sheep' received them.

The black sheep walked in front holding the candlestick, the long corridor was dark and dead silent, the smell of rotten wood was very strong, and there was a creaking sound when stepping on the floor, when it stopped suddenly, there was the sound of footsteps coming from the corner in front, and there was a long A strange figure projected out.

Who else is staying in it at this point in time?Who has such a weird look?

The teeth of the black sheep were chattering. Saul didn't dare to ask, and backed away quietly. Just as a group of four people were about to turn around and run away, a person came out from the corner, wearing a black suit, holding a big black umbrella, and his skin was as white as Ivory, tall and tall, has a kind of thick and colorful monster and beauty.

is it human?

"Who are you?" David asked.

"Tourists." The man closed the umbrella and approached to ask if he could join their team. David and Saul had no objections, and the yellow hair didn't care, so the three became a four-person team, and the black sheep was still leading the team.

The man in the black suit automatically moved to Cen Jin's side and introduced himself: "My name is Ding Yiqing."

Cen Jin glanced at him, said oh, and didn't mean to strike up a conversation.

Ding Yiqing used the big black umbrella as a walking stick, turning his head to look at Cen Jin from time to time, as if seeing something novel.

Cen Jin was very awkward: "What do you see me doing?"

Ding Yiqing said softly: "The identification card is made out of personal wishes."

Cen Jin: "?" What did the gods say?

Ding Yiqing: "Your surname is Huang."

Cen Jin: "There is a problem."

Ding Yiqing tilted her head and suppressed a smile.

Cen Jin: "..." Suddenly there was violence in my heart, damn it.

The black sheep opened the door and said, "Here, welcome to Tom's Doll's House."

As the wooden door was pushed open, candlelight streamed out, although it was not as bright as day, but the vision was unobstructed, and everyone was dazzled by the magnificent decoration inside.

I saw that the door opened to the living room, and there was a burning fireplace directly opposite the door.Chandeliers, candlesticks, cashmere sofa covers... and other expensive items are all available, and the decoration is a bit like a medieval castle.The walls on the left and right are bas-reliefs, with the death of Moses engraved on one side and the verdict of Moses on the other.

There are two doors on the left front and right front respectively, leading to the dining room, kitchen, bedroom, study and so on.

There is a large floor-to-ceiling window on the left front of the restaurant, and outside the window is an indoor courtyard.

There is an old man doll in front of the fireplace in the living room, and there are three dolls in the dining room, two children and a black maid.The workmanship of each doll is extremely high, and they are lifelike. Standing in front of them and staring at each other for a long time, you will even have an indescribable sense of fear.

Saul subconsciously stretched out his fingers to test whether the doll was breathing, but he quickly remembered something, and quickly retracted his fingers as if being scalded: "These things are really like...cough! The uncanny valley effect is indeed something that humans can never restrain Psychological fear, which is probably the reason why dollhouses have become the most popular theme of Sweet Home series.

It has a kind of horror that combines reality and death. People are in it and can feel the breath of death everywhere. "

Saul glanced at Ding Yiqing, seeing that he was indifferent and uninterested, he rubbed his nose and asked Huangmao embarrassingly, "Do you want to know the story of this house?"

Cen Jin picked up the candlestick, took out the slip of paper pressed underneath, wrote down the number on the slip of paper, then checked the ID cards of the three dolls in the restaurant, and then lifted the dinner plate carried by the maid to see a piece of beef with mushroom sauce , Observe their body movements and facial expressions.

The maid is 21 years old and gave birth to two children out of wedlock. She just lost her 8-year-old eldest son last month, and lost her 3-year-old younger son three days ago. Her employer refused to allow her to ask for leave. Even the child’s funeral was handled by a friend. .

The two children are male, twins, 7 years old.

They were fighting, fighting over a wooden toy, their shoes fell to the ground, a cup of black tea was overturned on the table, a cup fell to the ground, and the maid's skirt was stained with tea.

Cen Jin found the family photo from the maid's pocket, and saw two black children holding wooden toys in their hands. The wooden toy in the younger son's hand was the same as the one the twins were fighting for.

His eyes fell on the wine cabinet on the wall, where there were broken wooden boat toys, which were held in the arms of the maid's eldest son.

The maid had a smile on her lips, her eyes were cold.

Cen Jin walked towards the wine cabinet, and when he saw the combination lock, he entered the numbers on the slip of paper he found under the candlestick just now, opened the wine cabinet with a click, and found a stack of newspapers and a heart-shaped pink diamond necklace from inside.

Putting the necklace in his pocket, he flipped through the newspapers and stuffed the ones he thought might be useful into his pocket, and read the remaining ones at a glance.

Saul opened his mouth slightly: "How do you know there's something in it? You've seen the series "Shang Honey Garden" too, right? You lied to me that I didn't watch it... Wait, if you have seen it, you should know how to rummage through the wine cabinet in the wrong order."

"What's wrong?" David came out of the kitchen, and naturally took the newspaper in Cen Jin's hand: "On a certain day, a certain month and a certain day in a certain year, a black maid named Millie stunned the two children of the employer's family, and used extremely Kill them in a cruel way, then set fire to the house, and finally commit suicide.

The court pronounced the maid guilty, thinking that she must be a hateful witch, and reported it to the local church, and the priest reported to the Holy See for instructions.

Before the Holy See responded, the local people joined forces with the priest to start a mighty witch hunt. "

The newspaper report came to an abrupt end, and David looked up and asked, "Are there any other clues?"

Cen Jin lowered his eyes: "No."

David was dubious, walked over to the open wine cabinet at the back, and searched for a long time before finding a silver cross inside.

Saul said in a low voice, "Fuck, that's an exorcism artifact, why didn't you take it away just now?"

Cen Jin: "I don't think I may need it."

Saul's expression was exaggerated: "How could it not be necessary! You don't know how powerful that artifact is... Forget it, I don't understand you, let's go to the kitchen to search for information."

At this time, the black sheep appeared at the door: "He knows the story that happened to the doll in this room."

Saul looked ugly, and dragged Cen Jin towards the kitchen: "Let's go to the kitchen first."

Black Sheep: "Stop! Don't try to break the rules."

Cen Jin thought about some rules, Saul glared at him, and said dejectedly: ""Shang Honey Garden" has a default unspoken rule, wherever you go, as long as you find out the story that happened in this place, you must tell it."

What happens when you say it?What if I don't say it?

Cen Jin didn't ask questions, because the black sheep stared at him, urging him to speak quickly.

"The employer's two children snatched the maid's only toy from the two children, and the maid lost her children one after another, feeling sad. Not only did the employer not sympathize with her, she was not allowed to take leave, otherwise she was threatened with dismissal.

The first child died, and she endured grief and continued to work in order to support the second child.The second child died, and she lost her goal in life, but at this moment she was irritated by the attitude of the employer. She also found that the two children of the employer's family snatched the only toy from her child and damaged it without cherishing it.

In anger, she killed the two children of her employer's family, and then committed suicide. "

Heiyang checked the work card and nodded with satisfaction: "You are right." He handed Cen Jin a small card with the restaurant of the house written on it. "Congratulations on completing this level. A small card accumulates 1 point, and collecting 10 points can be exchanged for gifts or bonuses."

Cen Jin put away the card, at this moment Ding Yiqing came out of the kitchen and said, "Can I tell stories about the kitchen?"

Black Sheep: "Yes."

Saul's face turned black: "Damn crazy, I don't care about you." After speaking, he quickly left the restaurant.

Ding Yiqing: "There was a chef and two apprentices in the kitchen. One of the female apprentices was in a relationship with the chef, and the other apprentice was rejected by the female apprentice, so he killed the chef and the female apprentice out of jealousy. He knew that the maid killed the employer's two apprentices. A child, who was killed by suicide, used his tricks to set fire to the house."

Heiyang counted the time with a stopwatch: "Yes. Here are your points."

Ding Yiqing took the points and handed them to Cen Jin, who was puzzled: "Why give it to me?"

Ding Yiqing blinked at him: "A gift for meeting you."

Cen Jin quietly held his breath, and leaned back: "I'm poor, I don't get any return." He wondered if this person was flirting with him?

Ding Yiqing: "There is no chasing person asking for a gift in return."

Cen Jin: "..." It's actually a straight ball?

Just as he was hesitating how to respond, Ding Yiqing took his hand and walked out of the restaurant quickly.

The black sheep was also hurrying at this time. David suddenly thought of something and started to run. Just as they ran to the door, several roars came from behind, and out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the motionless doll rushing towards him with a ferocious face.

Saul, who saw the scary doll head-on, was startled: "Damn!"

Close the door quickly, there was a 'bang' sound, the horror doll was locked inside, and the sound of them fighting each other could be heard.

Saul's face was pale, and he reluctantly curled his lips and said, "Your doll house is really 100% restored."

Before the words fell, a girl's scream came from outside, followed by a man's scream, one after another, piercing the dreadfully dull silence of the dollhouse.Attracting everyone at once, just as they were about to run out to find the source of the screams, Cen Jin suddenly thought of something.

"Note 4: Do not leave the house halfway."

Saul turned his head to look at him suddenly: "It's just a game." He looked at the black sheep again, emphasizing: "It's just a game, right?"

Black Sheep swallowed fearfully, shook his head and said, "It's not as simple as a game, there is a problem with the doll house, we have advised you not to play it just now."

"Damn it." Saul was about to beat the black sheep when he saw someone running in the corridor.

It was a young man, about 19 or 20 years old, with dark red hair and freckles all over his face. Now he was running and screaming in terror, and everyone remembered the precautions for dollhouses in their minds: no running and screaming.

He committed two offenses and was doomed.

As soon as the thought flashed through my mind, I saw four white human-shaped shadows quickly appearing on the ceiling at the end of the corridor, like a gecko, they quickly threw the young man down, and quickly and accurately bit the young man's throat, killing two and three times. Eat it up and leave quickly.

Before leaving, Cen Jin clearly saw that they were four dolls, and after eating the living people, his face became a little more angry.

Saul's legs went limp and he collapsed to the ground, muttering in his mouth: "Damn, what's going on? How could it become true? Damn, damn, I knew how it was possible to hand over such a big piece of news. Investigate for me, it turned out to be waiting for me here."

Cen Jin glanced at Ding Yiqing, he wanted to rush out just now but was held back by him.

Ding Yiqing: "Dangerous."

Cen Jin was thoughtful: "I think I should be able to handle it."

Ding Yiqing: "Not now."

Cen Jin felt that Ding Yiqing was very mysterious, and he often couldn't understand what he said.

"Don't be so desperate, just follow the precautions. There is no rule that we have to unlock the stories of all the houses." David calmed down after seeing the scene of the living being eaten, and there was a little beast-like excitement in his golden vertical pupils . "Among all of us, besides Saul, who else has read the entire series of "The Garden of Honey"? What's going on? Explain everything clearly."

Saul and the black sheep raised their hands: "We have seen it all."

David looked at the black sheep: "Aren't you a staff member?"

Black Sheep: "I was one of the last group of tourists. I only played in two houses. Then I went to the lobby to gather. I fell into a coma soon, and when I woke up, I became a part-time worker."

"You're cheating us," David said darkly.

Black Sheep waved his hands again and again: "We can't talk when we are in the hall. All in all, you should quickly settle this house, and then go to the hall to meet other people and discuss with each other about solving the doll's house. Maybe we can leave."

Cen Jin asked in a low mood: "Is there still a bonus of [-] Euros?"

Black Sheep: "It's true."

Cen Jin was excited.

Black Sheep: "But the owner of the dollhouse is hard to find."

Cen Jin: "It's okay, I'm very good at hide and seek."

Does this have something to do with hide and seek?Black Sheep cursed.

David: "Okay, don't beep, tell us a series of background stories you know, and then solve it quickly."

The black sheep and Saul who had calmed down looked at each other and said, ""The Garden of Honey" is a series of weird stories that happened in the small town of Baja Ridge. The author claims to be the Knight of Apocalypse. The doll's house is the last and most eerie one in the series. The story condenses the previous weird stories and urban legends, and reveals the origin of the weirdness and urban legends of the Bakaling town.

Due to the large number of book fans, an entertainment company took a fancy to this series of IPs and decided to develop a theme park of the same name. "

Saul: "In this series of weird stories, there are a total of twelve urban legends. Candy Boy, Room 666, Jiaoren, Slanders, Siren Head... There is a legend in each book, and each legend is related to dolls. The house corresponds.

For example, Jiaoren comes from an urban legend. A person was seriously injured by a fire, and his whole body was like plasticine. He ran away because he couldn't bear the discrimination, and then came out to attack others one after another, corresponding to the fire in our room. "

Black Sheep swallowed, subconsciously lowered his voice and said: "There is another saying, this is a fictional novel, when the town of Bakaling is restored and the heart of the doll's house is completed, the legend will become true.

It is said that some people have seen Slanders in the forest of the small town, and some people have summoned Tom the candy boy. All the indescribable horrors and behemoths wake up from the darkness and come crawling. "

He suddenly raised his head, stared at Cen Jin and the others and said, "The dollhouse has woken up. When it is full and its heart beats, the whole town will wake up."

Cen Jin gasped, "Did you just say Tom the Candy Boy?"

Heiyang was stunned: "Is there a problem?"

Cen Jin looked around the house they were in and said, "If I remember correctly, the first thing you said when you opened the door was 'Welcome to Tom's Doll's House', Tom the Candyman."

--------------------

The author has something to say:

Comment on the red envelope.

Ask for a nutrient solution? Chirp.

Candy boy: candyboy, originated from an urban legend, a boy who likes to play tricks ran to dig out the honeycomb, but was stung to death with honey all over his body.

(This is a version I saw a few years ago and was a bit hard to find.)

It seems that there was a new movie released last year that also came from this urban legend, called Candyman.Adapted as a racial conflict, a black man was smeared with honey and stung to death.

Slenderman: It is the slender ghost, an American urban legend, not an SCP.
