1884 The Child's Smiling Face
The scene of the prison disappeared in a blink of an eye.
As the scene changed, I saw Rainer's ghost fleeing in confusion. He was still in prison, but he had already rushed to the prison fence and walked straight through and ran out of the prison area.
He panicked and looked back frequently at the empty place. He didn't run so well. Because of panic, his movements are very uncoordinated, and he often stumbles, falls and gets up.
He was being chased by something, running and running.
The silhouette of the town in the distance is already visible.
It's Thycente......
No, no, that's Maurice!
I recognized the sudden appearance of another dimension.
The headless fly-like Rainer unwittingly ran into the town of Morris.
My heart beat a little faster, and for a moment I felt a little regretful.
I'm in Rainer's memory now, and I can only see Rainer's past, not affect that past.
As I had assumed, Rena had been a little insane since he killed Mrs. Winter. Anyone who sees someone they kill will become mentally abnormal if they are dangling in front of their eyes like no one else.
He's not normal, and neither is his wife. The entire Rena family was already in a state of mental tension due to economic difficulties. Mrs. Winter's ghost was the straw that broke their back. I've seen the rest of the story many times.
That's when I found out what happened after Rena's arrest.
Rainer has entered the town of Morris. At this time, Morris Town was still a toy town. People who have been dead for an unknown number of years have been turned into toy people, walking through the streets, playing the role of ordinary residents.
Running for his life, Rena finally realizes that something is wrong.
The towns around him made him strange, and the people around him made him feel even more frightened.
Those people are not living people at all.
Rena soon realized this.
"Ahh Rena screamed, his expression twisted, spread his legs, and began to run wildly again.
He rushed out of the town and into the forest, but as he ran, the town came into view.
"Ahhh Yes! Rena let out a meaningless shout.
At the entrance to the town, something came by.
Rena was already on her knees, at a loss.
The figure came closer.
I squinted and saw each other's faces, and I couldn't help but widen my eyes.
The small figure did not grow in size when it came closer. It was meant to be that big. It's a rag doll.
It's Lina's rag doll.
In the body of the rag doll at the moment, it should be the toy ghost king.
"Are you lost?" The doll made a gender-indistinguishable sound.
Rena shuddered, looked up blankly, and looked at the doll. He was so frightened that he crawled back a few times.
"Don't be afraid." There is a constant smile on the baby's face. Its expression is made like that and it never changes.
There's no way Rena can't calm down because of such a sentence. He was still shaking. In the brain, there are no thoughts, only that emotion of fear.
"Don't be afraid. Do me a favor. After that, I can do you a favor too. It's an exchange. That's it. The doll reached out and put it on Rena's body.
Rainer's head immediately had something extra in his head.
"Find the ghost and get her." The doll's voice became cold, "Grab it in front of me." ”
My eyes widened as Ryner and I saw a girl in my mind.
It's Lina!
This......
The town of Morris vanished in an instant, and Rena knelt in the town of Ticente.
I see that Rainer's ghost is changing.
There were many threads connecting Rainer's body, and the other end of the thread, deep into the void, was nowhere to be seen.
I think I've seen this before.
Marionette ...... Toy ......
What's going on?
Haven't the toy spirits been obliterated? And it's been erased by a changed past. How could such a thing come about?
The toy spirit ...... Is the inference wrong? At that time, it was a toy ghost king, not a spirit?
My brain was in a state of confusion as I watched as Rainer's body stood up in an unnatural position. His expression was numb, and the clothes on his body changed, but it was his body that changed even more.
I could feel that Rainer's internal organs were changing, from flesh and blood to wood. It's really a puppet!
Rena is manipulated and wanders around the town of Thycente, looking for Lina.
Of course he found it.
As soon as my mind moved, I saw another memory.
Rena grabbed Lina's ghost, and the puppet's threads increased, like countless snakes, crawling on Lina. Lina had a hideous face and struggled desperately, but she was entangled in death. The lines tightened, and Lina let out an unwilling cry, and was suddenly pulled into the void, and her figure was swallowed up by another dimension.
The thread is gone.
Rena collapsed to the ground.
He came back to his senses and touched his body.
The body is still hard wood.
Where Lina disappeared, there was a distorted sight in the air.
A terrified Rainer ran desperately. He's going to get out of here, out of this hellish place.
He did it.
Until......
I opened my eyes and looked at the ghost I had caught.
The touch under the palm of your hand is a ghost, not a hard piece of wood.
The ability he used in that instant restored Rainer's condition to that he had just died. He was still an ordinary ghost at this time.
Rena panicked, as timid as I remembered earlier.
The ghost I caught was still different from the ghost I had encountered before. Although it is an ordinary ghost, this kind of ordinariness is relative to the future world.
This is the ghost after the world has changed.
I was at a loss for a moment.
Rena died in about 10 years, right?
That's when the world became like this?
Is this the world's past being changed again, or is it the influence of the special geography of the town of Thyscente?
"Hide and seek the person you're looking for, isn't he?" Wu Ling's question broke the deadlock.
Mrs. Winter has been killed, and the ghosts are gone. We just used that to catch Rainer.
The girl who talks in the game of hide and seek is obviously not Reina.
And in Rainer's memory, only what I just saw has to do with Lina and the town. Next, the years that let Rena wander outside are really not interesting, and they don't contain any important clues.
Reiner looked frightened and asked what we were going to do.
I still grabbed him, and instead of directly eliminating him, I looked at Han Yun.
Behind Han Yun, Jimny appeared.
I felt something in my heart, and my hands relaxed.
Reiner broke free in an instant. He tried to run away, but his body seemed to be pinned in mid-air.
I saw him fly up a bit, his neck extended, his face raised, and his whole expression became weird. His hands and feet were waving, but it looked like a faint struggle.
Jimny appeared in front of him.
Rainer's eyes widened, and a strange ho-ho sound came out of her throat.
At this moment, a rope appeared around Rena's neck. The rope tightened, almost pulling Renner's neck into a thin line.
Rena couldn't even make that strange noise. The limbs lost their strength and hung down at their sides. His eyes were still open, glaring at Jimny, and his body slowly became transparent and vanished.
I saw tears welling up in Jimny's eyes, sliding down his face. There was a blank, lonely look on his face.
Han Yun appeared in front of him, wiped away his tears, took his hand, and said with a smile: "Okay! Now you can have fun playing with us! ”
As Han Yun's voice fell, Jimny changed from a youth to a child. The tears were gone, and Jimny smiled brightly.
For some reason, I saw this childish and innocent smile, and a slight chill appeared in my heart.
