216, horror nursery rhymes
Mary Shaw's hostel is located near the Tulip Quarter.
Because the whole community is very remote, even the business with hotels is not easy to do.
When Du Wei was taken to the hotel by Officer Allen, he almost thought he had arrived at a black shop.
Outside the hotel is a dark green signboard with neon lights flashing from time to time, giving people a weird feeling.
Of course, it's just a feeling.
As soon as you enter the hotel.
An old woman with gray hair and a very old-fashioned coat sat behind the counter, wiping a coffee cup.
She looks very old, her face is full of wrinkles, and the only characteristic hooked nose is already a little low, which looks a little gloomy, but her whole temperament is very kind.
Seeing Du Wei and Allen police coming in, the old woman raised her reading glasses on the bridge of her nose and said in a slow tone, "Isn't this Allen policeman?" How do you have time to come to me? And next to you? ”
Officer Allen smiled reluctantly and said, "This is Dr. Du Wei who has come to Yade City for a tourist, and I will bring him to stay with you for two days." ”
The old woman was Mary Shaw.
And when Alan thought of what Du Wei said before, those evil ghost events were related to the terrifying legend of Mary Shaw, his heart was a little hairy.
Although, he didn't know what the so-called horror legend was.
Mary Chong Allen nodded, then looked at Du Wei, who was cold-faced, and said in an exaggerated tone: "It's really surprising that my hotel has been open for decades now, and it has never received Orientals." ”
As she spoke, she smiled kindly at Du Wei and said, "Hello, Dr. Du Wei, huh? You're a doctor, well, not bad, not bad. ”
The words are a bit rambling, but they are very suitable for an old man of this age.
And Du Wei glanced at Mary Shaw, and he didn't feel anything abnormal from the other party in his spiritual state.
This is a living person.
It's not an evil spirit.
So, he gave Mary Shaw a friendly smile: "Hello, Madame Mary, I am about to stay here for two days, trouble." ”
But there was no fluctuation in his heart, and he became more vigilant against Mary Shaw.
The evil spirit incident in Yade City reveals that something is wrong everywhere.
It's as if it wasn't done by evil spirits, but by man.
But Du Wei always remembered that the news given by the church was that this evil spirit incident originated from the terrifying legend of Mary Shaw.
Of course, Alan did not provide him with useful information about this legend.
In other words, not many people seem to know about this terrifying legend......
And this ...... Very unreasonable.
Officer Allen looked at Du Wei and then at Mrs. Mary Shaw, hesitated for a moment and said, "Let's arrange for my friend to stay first, I still have to go back to work, you talk first." ”
For a police officer like him who is on duty, there is no such thing as off-duty, and unless the matter is resolved, he has to be on duty 24 hours a day, otherwise it is a dereliction of duty.
Hearing this, Du Wei nodded at Allen in understanding.
Lady Mary Shaw smiled kindly and watched him turn away.
There was a kind of love and peace in his eyes.
Du Wei keenly caught this, so he asked thoughtfully: "Have you known Officer Allen for a long time?" ”
Mrs. Mary Shaw smiled and said, "Alan, I watched him grow up, he was a very hard working child, but he was a little too naughty?" ”
"Naughty?"
Du Wei was a little puzzled, no matter how you look at it, Officer Allen is a very calm person, and he has nothing to do with the word naughty.
Mrs. Mary Shaw smiled and said, "Yes, he is indeed very naughty, and he had a conflict with his family when he was at the police academy, and if I hadn't reconciled it, I guess his relationship with his family would be very bad now." ”
Du Wei remembered this, thought about it for a while, and began to control the topic.
So, he deliberately changed his words: "I have known Officer Allen for a while, and this time I came to Yade City for a tour, I wonder if you can recommend any unique scenery here?" Or maybe some of the more interesting legends? ”
Mrs. Mary Shaw frowned, so that the folds on her face were piled together, and she looked a little angry: "This Alan is really, didn't he tell you that Yade City is not suitable for tourism at all?" ”
Du Wei showed a surprised expression at the right time, and then scolded: "Fuck, this bastard is really unreliable, I thought there was something special here, it seems that I am going to be disappointed this time." ”
Mrs. Mary Shaw said helplessly: "This is his character, but you don't need to be too discouraged, even if you want to travel, this kind of weather is not suitable." ”
Du Wei pretended to sigh and said: "That's true, but I only have a vacation recently, and I've been too busy lately." ”
After speaking, he looked into Mrs. Mary Shaw's eyes and asked slowly, "By the way, I heard that a lot of people have died in Yade City recently, is that true?" ”
Mrs. Mary Shaw's face sank, and she said: "It is true that many people died, probably more than a dozen, but I don't know the specific situation, after all, I am old, and I don't have the energy to inquire about these things like those young people." ”
Du Wei immediately took over: "What a coincidence, I am very interested in these things, and I just heard from Officer Allen about your interesting story, he said that in Yade City, there is a terrifying legend with the same name as you, named Mary Shaw. ”
Not sure why.
He always felt that something was wrong with Mary Shaw, but there was no logic to this feeling, as if it were a sixth sense.
When Mrs. Mary Shaw heard this, her face suddenly changed, and her originally kind face froze.
She poked her head out of the counter, approached Du Wei's face, and asked in a strange tone, "Did Alan really say that to you?" ”
Of course not......
Du Wei just casually panicked.
His face was as usual, and he even smiled: "I have a good relationship with Officer Allen, there is no need for him to lie to me." ”
Before entering the hotel, he had already greeted Allen, organized a set of words, and reminded him not to approach him for the past two days.
In a sense, during his stay in Yard City, he can pull the Allen police to talk about things at will, as long as the evil spirit incident can be resolved, everything is not a problem.
Then.
Mrs. Mary Shaw looked at Du Wei and said in a somewhat complicated tone: "Actually, I also wonder why that terrifying legend has spread, many years ago, when Yade City was still a village, a woman named Mary Shaw suddenly came here. ”
"She's very good-looking, and it's said that she used to be a famous ventriloquist, and she also makes all kinds of fun toys and sweets, and the kids love her, including me."
"But then one day, someone noticed that there was suddenly one less child in the town."
"Then another child disappeared."
"Everyone was panicked, so they organized people to search the town, but nothing was found, there were fewer and fewer children, and things became more and more troublesome."
"Suddenly one day, someone found out that the missing children had been in contact with Mary Shaw, so they went to her house, and then the angry truth appeared."
"It turned out that those children were abducted and trafficked by Mary Shaw to other cities, and she was a human trafficker."
"The parents were so angry that they beat her to death, and most of the missing children were recovered."
"And yet...... I don't know when a terrifying nursery rhyme began to circulate in the town. ”
