Chapter 1836: The Doll Left Behind
The changes in yin qi are drastic and clear. It seemed that the change affected the whole space, and the scenery I saw was covered with a hazy gas like smoke. It wasn't yin, it was more like a strange change like a snowflake screen.
I could hear Lina's story, but in my eyes, the scenery was a little different.
I saw the old town of Morris that Lina described. The town was more primitive and dilapidated than the one we are in today, and the buildings were much older. The people who shuttled through were also wearing clothes from earlier. They looked panicked and anxiously talking about something.
I saw a cloud of yin coming out of the town. There are ghosts walking through the town.
The town turned from day to night, and the sleeping man in the house was attacked, and screams and cries resounded throughout the town, but no one came to save him. The others hid in their homes, reciting prayer psalms, closing their eyes and covering their ears.
The man who was attacked was running, driven away by the ghosts. He became a toy for ghosts and was slowly killed. He was also hung by a ghost in the town's tallest church bell tower.
At dawn, everyone saw the horrible corpses hanging there.
Panic spreads through the town, but no one escapes.
Probably because of the limitations of the times, the people of the town could not leave the town, and they could not solve the problem of ghosts.
In the crowd, I saw a little girl. She was holding a shabby doll. The doll was made of rags and straw, much like the puppet toy, and was a crude handiwork.
The girl held the doll and followed her parents, some of whom did not understand what was going on in the town, but were as scared as the adults.
Corpses often appear on the bell tower, and the people of the town are killed one by one.
Finally one day, things changed.
I saw a huge black hole in the forest.
That's the entrance and exit of another dimension.
The entrance and exit expanded to the height of a three-story building, affecting the surrounding trees, grass, and river.
The townspeople shouted in panic.
It's like what I saw in Yangshan District. Huge entrances and exits to different dimensions began to devour the living.
I vaguely saw some strange people. They wore cloaks and stood in the crowd, unaffected by the suction. They were watching as the townspeople were sent into another dimension.
This is a catastrophe. It's the great catastrophe I've ever seen.
I remembered the six villages of workers and peasants in my dream. It's just that that time, it was the ghost of the dead who was sent by the ghost to the entrance and exit of another dimension.
Thinking of this, I was stunned.
Difu, God, why send those ghosts of the dead into the future world?
Smack!
I turned my head and realized that my vision had changed.
I saw the girl holding the doll. She crashed into the house, and immediately flew into the sky, into the distance. She let go of her hand, and the doll fell to the ground.
Only the living were sucked away, and the rest was minimally affected.
By the time the entrances and exits of the other space swished away, the town was messy and eerily quiet.
I stared down at the doll on the ground.
The sun sets and the moon rises, and the morning sun is ushered in again.
I saw the scarecrow doll on the ground slowly get up from the ground and look around.
It didn't find anyone.
It was like waking up from its sleep, not knowing what was happening. It struggled through the town, looking everywhere.
I could feel the aura on it slowly changing. It's lonely, it's lonely, it doesn't understand why its master is gone.
The entire town seems to have been abandoned by humans.
The doll returned to the girl's home and eventually stopped at the door of the house, where she sat down. It was waiting for its owner to return.
In an instant, time flies.
I heard human voices. The doll rejoiced. It thought it was the owner who had returned.
My vision moved to the east of the town, where a group of strangely dressed men were looking at the town in amazement. They spoke something strange in language, but I understood what they meant.
They were outsiders and had no idea that they would find a small town here. They had come to explore the forests and wanted to expand their city.
The preserved houses, ghost towns with no living people, make these people scared.
After a hasty inspection of the edge of the town, they returned.
The doll doesn't know what's going on, and after expecting it, becomes disappointed again.
A few days later, another person arrived. This time, there were a lot of people who came, and they were all dressed differently. They examined the town in more detail.
The men covered their faces with cloths, and were careful not to touch anything in the town.
The doll sitting at the door of the house was ignored by them.
After a few days of checking, they returned to their camp outside the town. I heard them say one word, "plague".
Fires raged in the town. They believed that the flame would disperse germs.
The doll stood in the middle of the fire, not understanding why humans were going to burn it and burn down its home.
The scorched black earth is steaming. The fire was many days less, and the doll was just a scarecrow, powerless to stop. It was not burned, it was buried under the ashes.
Those people began to clear the land and rebuild the town.
This is supposed to be Lina's hometown, New Morris.
What she said about the abandoned girl may be another story with false rumors.
As I watched as the new town was built, it dawned on me that it seemed to be the old town of Morris. The same architectural style, the same structure...... It's not the space we're in right now.
The field of view suddenly zooms out.
I saw a girl picking mushrooms in the forest. She looked a few years older than the girl before. After picking a basket of mushrooms in the forest, I also picked up some branches. She returns to the town with her catch, only to see that the whole town is nowhere to be seen. Following the human voice, she found the church. On the bell tower of the church, a corpse hangs.
"There is the devil! There's the devil here! The priest was shouting loudly.
Everyone knelt down in prayer, and the hearts were in fear.
The girl was locked up in her home by her parents, waiting in line to be examined by the priest.
The devil was not found, and another victim appeared.
I saw the yin energy of the ghost.
In the blink of an eye, there were ten rooms and nine empty rooms in the town, and most of them chose to escape.
I looked at these two completely different scenes of the past, and suddenly understood that these were the different historical developments before and after the change of the past.
The town, as Lina said, is left with only girls.
“…… They say that there was a plague in the former town of Morris and everyone died. The girl was the first to die, the source of the plague. Only when she died, everyone didn't know that it was the plague, and she was buried properly. ”
I heard Lina's voice in reality, and the scene in front of me changed to the town's cemetery. The girl was looking at a tombstone with the name Lina engraved on it.
"She became a ghost, everyone else died, and her soul was at rest, and she was the only one left in the town. Then, new people came and burned down the plague-stricken town and rebuilt the town of Morris. In the fire, only the girl's soul and her doll remained. The girl was possessed by the doll's body. The doll went to the cemetery and got into her coffin. Legend has it that if someone went to the cemetery at night, they would see a doll crying in the cemetery. ”
I didn't see the crying doll, on the contrary, I saw the doll smiling.
Behind her, the old town of Morris was surrounded by fire and reduced to ashes.
