"Silent in the night, are you awake?"

When I came to my senses, a sweet voice immediately came to my ears with ecstatic emotions. I shook my head vigorously and opened my eyes.

The sunlight outside the window was very dazzling, and in the hazy white light, I saw Huang Shiya looking at herself anxiously in the face. I stared at her blankly for a long time before asking, "What did you just call me?" ”

"Silent at night?" Huang Shiya said very politely.

"You told me to be silent at night? Didn't call me Saya? Oh my God, I'm finally back! I hugged her excitedly, and I almost danced with joy.

Shiya's whole body suddenly collapsed, and her stiff body moved lightly in my arms, and I realized that I was overjoyed and hurriedly let go of her. Just these more than ten seconds of action have already made her blush. She sat silently, looking at me with disgusted eyes, not knowing whether to be angry or happy.

I blushed and coughed, and asked, "What about Haruka's little girl?" ”

Shiya was also red-faced, and she whispered: "She didn't have the situation we were worried about at all, and she jumped up and down as soon as she woke up, I don't know how energetic she is." ”

"That's good!." I raised my head slightly and ordered, "Help me get Jame, I have something to discuss with you." ”

Ten minutes later, both Jame and Haruka arrived.

"How many days have I been in a coma?" I asked first.

"It's the third day." Huang Shiya played with her fingers, lowered her head and didn't dare to look at me: "After you passed out, the puppet suddenly disappeared." Yaojia also returned to normal. But after we carried you home, you never woke up, and then we called an ambulance to take you to the hospital. ”

I looked at the bright and comfortable room, and then looked down at the feeding tube in my hand: "It turns out that this is a hospital." Yaojia ......"

"I know what you're asking." The little girl quickly interrupted me: "I'll confess." After my sister was in a car accident, I saw the puppet in her belongings. Just one look at it and I was fascinated by it. Although the puppet's face was scratched and bruised, I somehow thought it was beautiful and wanted to keep it for myself. So I didn't let my parents see it, and secretly hid it. It wasn't a good thing, so it's no wonder I get sleepy a lot after getting it. ”

"And ...... Jone and Davy?"

"Ahem! Cough! Just as I was about to ask about the two people who died because of the puppet's curse, Jame immediately coughed loudly, and he shook his head slightly at me suggestively. It dawned on me that Jame and the others hadn't told Haruka that Jone and Davy were most likely puppets manipulating her body and cursing them. Actually, that's right, that little girl was originally a victim, so why bother to let her suffer more damage?

I digressed the subject: "Do you know where I went during the three days I was in a coma?" ”

The people sitting next to me shook their heads in agreement.

I smiled slightly wryly, "I went to the spirit world of that puppet." ”

"The spirit world of puppets," the three of them were so surprised that they almost couldn't close their mouths. Haruka frowned and asked, "Puppets also have souls?" ”

"Of course." I replied, "A long time ago, people who studied paranormal thought that as long as one had enough emotions to a certain object. That is to say, whether you love it very much or hate it very much, as long as the emotions you give to it exceed the threshold, that object will have a soul of its own. In addition, supernatural scholars also believe that humanoid things, such as puppets, are particularly prone to having souls and their own consciousness. ”

"What does the puppet's spirit world look like?" Jame, the supernatural idiot, suddenly became interested.

"It's a strange world, and I thought about it for a long time and I can only describe it as magical. In short, in its world, my will is constantly broken, and it is almost broken. I'm so glad I still have my life. I recalled, with trepidation, and continued: "Its world is full of her views on humanity and her bonds. Finally I understood what it was resentful for. ”

"Isn't its resentment because the rich man killed his master, and it is madly seeking revenge?" Shiya asked softly.

I shook my head: "We've always taken it for granted, and I've been investigating it all around this idea. But in the end I realized that I was wrong, very wrong. In fact, more than a hundred years ago, after it cursed and killed the rich man, its resentment was gone. Instead, there is attachment to a wish. ”

Jame asked, confused, "Why did it kill Jone and Davy when it had no grudges?" And curse the whole town for having a blood relationship with that rich man? ”

"It's simple, because more than a hundred years of waiting has made it restless and even crazy." There was a hint of sympathy in my eyes: "God knows what the puppet's heart thinks." It may kill people to get someone's attention, or it may simply be trying to calm the restlessness of the heart. But the longer it waited, the more people it killed, the more impatient it became, and even the resentment against the rich man more than a hundred years ago slowly grew stronger. So it continued to kill, wanting to vent all the pain in its heart. ”

"So what is it clinging to? What does it want? Shiya frowned.

In fact, its bonds are very simple and basic for human beings. But it's a big luxury for it. ”

"What kind of bond?"

I paused, and looked up into the eyes of the three men: "It wants to be the puppeteer's wife." ”

"What!" Huang Shiya, Jame, and Yao Jia suddenly screamed in disbelief. Just then, the door to the ward slammed open, and Mark ran in breathlessly.

"Twenty minutes ago, everyone in the town suddenly passed out, and they couldn't wake up no matter how they screamed, and the symptoms were like Xiaoya." When he saw me sitting on the bed, his nervous face froze.

"You said the whole town fainted? Is it like the plague a few days ago? Jame nervously grabbed Mark's arm.

Mark grabbed the bedside glass and drank it down, "No, it's really all the people in town this time. But it's strange that the people in the Paranormal Club at Seattle Middle School are basically fine. Now the DCP folks are rushing to town to deal with the matter. ”

I snorted and jumped out of bed: "That thing really has a bit of a trick to take the whole town hostage of itself. ”

"What did you mean by that?" Jame asked, confused.

"Hurry up and get out of this hospital, maybe the people from DCUI will catch us and isolate us." As I took my clothes and put them on casually, I said, "The puppet has given us three days, and if we can't help it fulfill its wish by then, I'm afraid the whole town will go to heaven with us." ”

I sighed, looked out the window at the cloudless blue sky, and said indifferently, "I just don't know if the God here will accept me as a nasty atheist and bastard." ”
