Chapter 159: The World in the Mirror (2)
Star Swirl finds herself still in the basement, but her surroundings seem to have changed. The interior is not overly cluttered and is very clean and tidy.
What about mirrors? Star Swirl circles around the room, unable to find the eerie mirror, which is now nowhere to be seen, along with Mr. X.
The sound of a piece of music drifts into the basement, as if addressed to Alice, and Star Swirl immediately thinks of the music box Hanhan is holding.
She walked up the stairs, and as a spirit at the moment, she could easily get through the door.
Star Swirl had barely stepped out of the basement when she was startled by two windswept figures running down the hallway.
"Peach, Haohao, don't run around the house!" A woman's voice came from behind him.
Star Swirl looked at the two chasing and frolicking figures, two children, who were about ten years old, judging by their height.
It looks like they used to live here. For some reason, Star Swirl's consciousness is suddenly transported back in time, as if revealing the secret of the past to her.
The two children finally got tired of playing and sat around the coffee table to rest.
"Brother, why didn't you say Dad came back?" The little girl looked stunned.
"Mom said she would be back in a few days, and Dad would bring us gifts from abroad!" The little boy said with some excitement, fantasizing about receiving the gift in his mind, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.
Star Swirl was keenly aware that she had heard this statement several times in Hanhan's house.
"Really......" The little girl was a little unconvinced.
"Of course it's true! But if you two don't behave well, you won't have any gifts. A handsome-looking middle-aged woman walked into the living room and said to the two children in a pretended seriousness.
When the children heard her words, their eyes immediately lit up and they gathered around the woman: "Mom, Mom, we are the most obedient. ”
The woman touched the heads of the two children and said with a smile: "Mom is going out, Aunt Lin is going to come over to clean up in the afternoon, do you remember to help her open the door, you know?" ”
"Got it!" The two children replied in unison.
The woman went out with her bag. After a while, the doorbell rang.
"It's Aunt Lin here, I'll open the door." The little boy ran to the gate.
Before opening the door, the little boy did not forget to stand on the low stool and look out through the cat's eyes, and only after confirming that it was the aunt who came to clean before opening the door.
Star Swirl couldn't help but praise this kid for her safety sense!
"Hao Hao is at home." Entering is a woman in her early fifties, but she looks surprisingly ugly, grinning Star Swirl reminiscent of Grandma Wolf.
"Aunt Lin, come in." The little boy seemed to know her very well, and greeted her in with a smile.
"Mommy is out, isn't she?" Aunt Lin's eyes looked around the room and asked.
The little boy nodded and replied, "Mom said that I would only go out for a short time and be back soon." ”
Aunt Lin put down her bag and beckoned to the little girl on the sofa: "Peach, come and have a look." ”
When the little girl saw the woman holding a doll in her hand, she walked over with some expectation and asked, "What is this?" ”
An ugly doll appeared in front of the little girl's eyes, buttoned eyes, nose and mouth were crooked, and a cotton-filled body bulging, completely disproportionate to the slender hands and feet.
"It's ugly!" Momoko took a step back and said with disgust on her face.
Aunt Lin showed a look of loss on her face, she carefully took the doll back, and whispered, "If you don't like it, Auntie will make another one for you." ”
"I just love the dolls my mom bought me!" Peach said and hid behind her brother, as if she was afraid that Aunt Lin would teach her a lesson.
"Doll ......" Aunt Lin's face changed, and a strange smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, "Peaches looks like a doll." ”
"You, don't think that if you praise me, I'll like you!" The little girl poked half of her head out from her brother's back and grimaced.
Everyone has a love for beauty, and the little girl must have a strong rejection because of Aunt Lin's ugly appearance.
At this time, there was a sound of unlocking the door and it was the children's mother who had returned.
"Aunt Lin, what kind of temper is Peaches making again?" The woman smiled apologetically.
"It's nothing, children are playing with me," Aunt Lin waved her hand, "I just like peaches very much, but unfortunately I don't like children very much." ”
Seeing tears in the corners of Aunt Lin's wrinkled eyes, the woman couldn't bear to persuade: "Those things before have passed." If you like these two children, you will come often in the future, and I don't really treat you as a working aunt in my heart. ”
Aunt Lin nodded gratefully, rolled up her sleeves and said, "Then I'll go to work first, there are still a lot of places to clean up." ”
After the conversation between the two ended, Star Swirl temporarily focused on Aunt Lin as the object of observation, carefully watching her every move.
However, when she finished cleaning the living room and several bedrooms, she opened the door in the hallway and stepped into the basement. Star Swirl hurriedly followed.
Aunt Lin dragged a large bucket from the corner of the basement, filled with mud, and she laboriously dragged the bucket to the location of the cubicle.
Star Swirl wondered if she was going to seal the cubicle with cement.
However, something unexpected happened, when she pushed the pile of debris to both sides, lifted the curtain behind the debris, and there was a corpse embedded in the thickened wall inside.
Star Swirl shuddered, not daring to move forward, and caught a glimpse of Aunt Lin brushing the surface of the corpse over and over again with a brush dipped in the cement in the bucket.
There appeared to be a man embedded in the concrete wall, and his hands and feet were still sticking out of the wall, and Star Swirl looked away after two glances, it was terrifying.
As for who killed him, the answer is in front of you. Then, the identity of the man is most likely the father of two children.
"Ma'am, could you come down for a moment?" After Aunt Lin built the wall, she shouted upstairs.
"What's the matter?" The woman asked, opening the basement door.
"There's some clutter here, can I take it with you if you don't need it?" A greedy smile appeared on Aunt Lin's ugly face.
"Okay, then I'll come down and have a look." The woman walked up the stairs to the basement, but the light in front of her suddenly disappeared.
In the darkness, the woman asked in a panic, "Aunt Lin, why did you turn off the flashlight?" ”
No one answered her, only a "bang" sound, and as the weight hit the back of the woman's head, she swayed a few times before collapsing to the ground.
But the ugly old woman quickly ripped off the woman's clothes and put them on herself.
A quarter of an hour later, a slimy and hairy human skin fell to the ground, but Aunt Lin's face was completely new, and it turned out to be exactly the same as that of a fainted woman.
