070, out of control (ask for collection recommendation)
When the fingertips touched the white mask, the feedback was a cold, cold feeling.
The material of the mask is unknown, but the white one is very eye-catching.
On the table, the mask was quietly set aside, and Du Wei opened the diary.
Meanwhile.
Babbled......
The grinding of wooden structures that made people's teeth sour sounded.
Du Wei turned his head and stared calmly, as if an invisible hand was slowly closing the door.
Even if he was not in the state of spiritual vision, he could clearly feel that an extremely terrifying aura was slowly enveloping him.
It's an evil spirit......
It's like the first night, the two evil spirits in the house made Du Wei feel exactly the same.
What is certain is that something is definitely coming in.
Du Wei took a deep breath and retracted his gaze, he pulled his backpack open, took out a bottle of bone meal from it and sprinkled it around him, if the evil spirit wanted to do it to himself, it could at least serve as a warning.
Then, he looked down at the journal.
On the first page, there is a byline - Mike Stowe.
On the second page, it is written about his identity - Mrs. Mina's husband, Kelly's father.
Further down, there are some trivial daily life, and there is no special information.
But to Dewey's surprise, he discovers Mike Stowe's secret.
He can't be humane.
Kelly was adopted by him and Lady Mina, just to ease the marital relationship between the two that was about to break down.
"No wonder there is only one quilt in the bedroom, and there are no male products in sight, the two should not have slept together for a long time."
Du Wei then quickly flipped through the pages.
Soon, the diary entry of March 18 caught his attention, which was about the gold brooch.
……
[March 18, overcast]
[Because of my profession, I often deal with some antiques from auction houses, hmm...... I call this a fake, those idiots would never have imagined that many of the so-called antiques they bought were distressed, of course, I can assure them that the certificate is absolutely genuine, haha, today I brought back a strange thing from the auction house, it is two masks together, the material is unknown, a bit like a product made in modern society. 】
[This was written at 3 a.m., and I had just encountered something unimaginable, which reminded me of that unbearable past, when I was a cultist of the Vida. 】
Du Wei's gaze lingered on the "Vida" for a moment, and his mind couldn't help but think of his dead neighbor Roy, and the four heads that appeared in the house in the morning.
"It looks like an old-fashioned cultist who has lost his way and returned to ordinary life, but unfortunately, he doesn't seem to have gained love and marriage, but has been living a very unsatisfactory life."
Du Wei's voice was calm without a trace of fluctuation, and he turned the next page.
[March 19, light rain]
[I parted the mask, looking at the gold brooch hidden in the mask, I felt very strange, how the two masks were together, like a container, I put on one of the masks without facial features, I seemed to have discovered the secret of Vader. 】
"The gold brooch is hidden in a mask? This seems to be very similar to the ring, which was discovered after the anomaly of an antique clock, which can be understood as a mask equal to an antique clock? ”
Du Wei felt as if he understood something, and at the same time, he also noticed that in this day's diary, Mike Stowe used it to refer to it, is it an evil spirit?
What the so-called Vidaism believes in is actually an evil spirit? Or something like that?
……
[March 25, the weather cleared]
[I seem to have a mental problem, I think I should find a psychiatrist, but it's late, every night after 12 o'clock, I can't help but put on a mask, so I even have to lock the door before going to bed to prevent Mina and the others from seeing me. 】
……
[March 26......]
[I'm about to break down, I need help, but I'm a traitor, I can't go back to the Vida, I can't even contact them, or I'm going to die.] 】
……
Since March 26th, the diary has been messy, sometimes like a madman's words, there is no logical relationship between the front and back, either nothing is written, or some dirty patterns.
Du Wei roughly analyzed that after Mike Stowe put on the mask, he seemed to be targeted by something, possibly an evil spirit, and his spirit was also affected, and his thinking logic was also confused.
"Keep watching."
Du Wei whispered, this house made him feel even more depressed, the cold malice like the tide of the sea and touched his body, which made people very uncomfortable.
[April 28......]
[I know what it wants, it wants to come out, and occupy my body, but it seems to have certain limitations, and I feel that I can fight it for a while, so I plan to kill someone and complete a sacrificial ritual.] 】
……
[April 29......]
[The sacrifice was a fat man, and when I cut his veins, I felt like I was trembling, and I was so excited, it was as if I had returned to the time when I joined the Vida Sect, crazy, unscrupulous, like killing pigs. 】
[Written in the middle of the night: I feel very good now, after the sacrifice ceremony is completed, it is much quieter, but I don't know why, every time I look at myself in the mirror with a mask, I feel a strange feeling, I don't seem to be like me anymore, but what does it matter? 】
……
[May 03......]
[I am in good shape, I work normally during the day, maintain the image of a husband and father, and go out for sacrificial rituals at night, I seem to have adapted to this life]
……
[May 06......]
[I can't stop, the sacrifice seems to have less and less effect on it, according to the Vida record, I should sacrifice my relatives...... Kelly, or Mina. 】
……
[May 12......]
[I made a decision and drew a six-pointed star under Kelly's bed, it was very dissatisfied, I knew that it was targeting me, followed by Mina, and then Kelly, but the sacrifice ceremony had already begun, and I couldn't stop]
……
And so ends the diary.
Dewey's eyes turned grim, and Mike Stowe's diary made him even more disgusted with cultists, who, to borrow Officer Tom's words, were a bunch of lunatics with brains in water who could do anything.
And the initial analysis was not wrong, but Du Wei did not expect that the cultist was the dead Mike Stowe.
This man, who had once broken away from the Vidats, did outrageous things in order to survive, sacrificing his adopted daughter and even his wife.
If he hadn't gotten on that bus, he might have succeeded by now.
However, Du Wei does not think that Mike Stowe can really live.
Because it is clear that Mike Stowe has been affected by it, and his mental state has become problematic, whether it is sacrifice, or anything else, it is just leading him to the brink of losing control.
It's like torture.
