200: Doll
Vera had a hunch that they were one step away from unraveling the truth of the matter.
But the castle after dark was too dangerous for them to stay in the doctor's room.
Eric was the one he feared the most, he wasn't as desperate as Vera and Ma Hao to search for clues, and he wasn't as fearless as the ignorant like Ogus.
He kept an eye on the sky, watched the light outside the window dim little by little, and was anxious to return to his comfort zone.
Vera suggested going back to the study, and he was the first to agree, turning and walking towards the door. But it has always been the pioneer death squad, and they are the first to let them encounter anything.
Eric had barely left the room when he stepped on a doll on the floor.
It was a doll with one eye missing, wearing a shabby floral dress, and its face and body were dirty. As soon as Eric stepped down, the doll began to sing a nursery rhyme in fits and starts.
"Caged birds...... Caged birds......"
"I want to run out all the time......"
"The night before dawn...... The moment when the soul and the body merge ......"
"Run away with all your might......"
"Find the ...... of the hiding corner"
The doll was close to the edge of breakage and looked like it was older than more than a decade ago. The sound coming from its body was also broken, with a strong electrical sound, which was extremely uncomfortable to listen to.
Eric was frightened by the doll's terrifying singing, and the red Kill Matt's head was even more unorthodox.
"Damn, how is this thing here?!"
Eric cursed and retracted his feet, the more he looked at the doll, the more familiar it became: "Dog*, isn't this that thing in the basement?" ”
This doll is indeed the one Vera found in the basement. But she should have put it in the cradle in the basement, how did she get here?
Moreover, When did this doll appear by the door?
When they came, they didn't notice such an object in the hallway.
"Caged birds...... Caged birds...... All the time......" The doll is still repeating its ugly song, and I don't know what the person who designed it thinks?
This kind of singing is almost like listening to which baby can sleep, and it is almost the same if he is not scared to cry!
Eric picked the doll up from the floor and smashed it to the ground: "I'll scary you, I'll scary you!" Lao Tzu fell on you, you have the ability to sing again! ”
The doll was nothing more than an ordinary plastic toy, an old model from many years ago, and when Eric smashed it, it immediately fell apart in half, and a mechanical chip fell out of his chest.
"Eric!" Vera disapproves of Eric's actions.
The reason why this doll appeared in the hallway is very strange, and it is best not to act rashly without figuring it out.
However, when Eric came up, he didn't listen to anyone's advice. He stepped on the mechanical chip with his foot up, and stepped on the metal part to pieces a few times before he reluctantly stopped.
Vera's brow furrowed, "Eric, you're too impulsive. This doll was most likely placed here by the 'doctor'. ”
"Okay, okay, isn't it just a doll? Let's hurry back to the study! Eric looked dismissive, he didn't think he could get any trouble by stepping on a scary doll.
Vera and the others should be grateful to him, if he hadn't made a move, that horrible doll would have kept singing.
Eric hurried towards his study, but before he could take a few steps, a terrible, hair-raising singing voice came from behind him.
"Caged birds...... Run away with all your might...... Find the corner where you are hiding......"
Not only Eric, but the others were also frightened in place.
The doll, which was supposed to be broken by Eric, was singing a nursery rhyme intermittently at the moment.
Its body was shattered, only three-quarters of its head remained, and the vocalizing chip was torn out of its body and split in half, but it was still singing to itself.
Eric's legs were numb, his knees were shaking like chaff, and he was crying: "Go back to the study, let's go back to the study!" ”
Needless to say, when encountering this kind of supernatural event, everyone wants to return to the study as soon as possible.
They quickened their pace and ran, but the doll they had left in the hallway stopped singing and changed its tune.
"Are you ready...... You ready...... Are you ready......" It announces the numbers in a mechanical voice with an electric current, counting from the beginning.
“1……”
“2……”
“3……”
Until I returned to the study, I could still hear her unfluctuating tone.
Eric curled up in the corner, his face buried in his knees, his eyes showing only a pair of eyes, looking around warily.
Hey, it's another crazy one.
Ma Hao thinks that Eric is also quite pitiful, and he has been made into such virtue by ghosts, and he has to change his career from killing Matt to becoming a god stick.
Vera didn't comment much on Eric's state, but discussed the nursery rhymes in the doll's mouth with Ma Haohao and Eric.
"What is that nursery rhyme supposed to tell us, what do you think it means?"
Augs pondered the lyrics of the nursery rhyme: "I can't remember the lyrics a little, the caged bird, and the hidden...... What's in the back? ”
Ma Hao read out the complete nursery rhyme: "The bird in the cage wants to run out all the time." The night before dawn, the moment when the soul and the body merge. Run away with all your strength and find a corner where you are hiding. ”
As a full-fledged student, Ma Hao has a good memory, and he only heard it twice and memorized the nursery rhyme, which helped Augs and Vera a lot.
"Rey, how did your memory suddenly become so good?" Vera was a little surprised, Rye was a veritable scumbag, and if she had such a memory, she wouldn't have been at the bottom of the exam.
But now, obviously, this is not the time to study your friend's memory mutations.
"The caged bird wants to run out. Do these two sentences seem to be talking about how many of us? Vera only mentioned it once, and then shifted her focus to nursery rhymes.
Ma Hao secretly breathed a sigh of relief, if Vera really wanted to break the casserole and ask to the end, she might not be able to resist it for a while. Without rigorous logic, it is not easy to convince this smart heroine.
A lie needs to be fulfilled with a hundred lies, and so many lies have to be made up temporarily, forgive her for not being able to do it......
"The birds that want to escape from their cages correspond to us who want to escape from the castle."
Vera changed the topic, and she quickly answered, "The night before dawn refers to the early hours of the morning, the moment when the soul and flesh merge, could it be that the seizure ...... A magic circle that summons the resurrection of the undead? ”
Augs asked: "What does the last phrase 'find the corner where we hide' mean the study we are in now?" ”
"No, this sentence may have to be analyzed in conjunction with the following paragraph."
Vera listened to the faint report in the corridor and said her opinion: "Have you ever played a game of hide and seek?" ”
"When the doll's voice stops, the 'doctor' is going to come to us."
