Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Muppet Doll
This terrifying battle is indelible in the eyes of ordinary people, and the fear of never encountering it in a lifetime has suddenly dropped, and even the most powerful person cannot withstand such a heavy blow. The town of Ponslin fell asleep quietly in the dark night, the cold wind was much quieter, the dancing branches seemed to feel tired, and the snow wolf spiders perched on it also stopped predating, lying motionless, in this deep cold night of minus 12 degrees, there were almost no creatures to feed. The strange phenomenon finally returned to normal that night, and the inhabitants of the house were finally able to sleep peacefully, but they did not understand what was happening, whether it was a dead body standing in front of the window or a sleeping person lying on the bed.
No. 61 Ponslin Avenue, the house finally restored its tranquility, and the haze in her heart still did not dissipate, so Lin Yan turned on the lights in the garden, she never found that the yard at night was so clear and beautiful, the so-called plum blossom fragrance came from the bitter cold, freezing three feet is not a day's cold, the petals of the purple raplum swirled in the cold current, as if there was a beautiful snowflake. She wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and hid her aggrieved cheeks. After stopping for a moment outside the door of her daughter's room, Lin Qing had already fallen asleep peacefully, and through the light in the corridor, her face was slightly red, and she suddenly felt a trace of warmth in her heart. Then she went to the bathroom, immersed in the smoky fairyland, she tilted her head, still rinsing her body with hot water, sweeping away the cold air, and gradually easing her tense nerves. However, in the garden outside, the bright light suddenly flickered rapidly, and although it only lasted for a moment, a ghost appeared in the mirror image of the window! As she slowly turned around, it was an old woman's face, wearing a black gauze hat, terrifying!
At 3:12 in the morning, not to mention the remote and foreign town, even in the city that never sleeps in the northern district of Dello, the curtain has come to an end, and the deterrence of nature and the cold wind finally swept the world.
Outside the window on the second floor, the secrets of the garden emerged, and under the backdrop of the lights, a few light-oriented insects faintly sounded in the yard, according to common sense, in such a harsh environment, it should not have existed. Then one of them lay on the window, and it squirmed back and forth, several violent collisions, and even tried to get in, and then more and more insects, as if they were coming from the dense forest outside. The petals fluttering in the garden were swallowed up by this terrifying swarm of insects in an instant. Buzzing...... Buzzing...... The extremely high frequency of the noise seems to pierce a person's eardrum and make him pass out. They lie on the window layer after layer, and their densely wriggling bodies will also make people's hearts tremble! The light and shadow in the room were buried in an instant, and the little girl turned sideways unnaturally, still closing her eyes. In the blink of an eye, the swarm of insects lying on the glass suddenly disappeared, and fortunately, the room was bright again, however, in the shadow of the corner, there was a vague shadow that did not belong to the room.
The oily skin, the calves curled up in the quilt, the feet trembling, the drowsy nerves stimulated by another sensation, the girl's left foot contracted unnaturally. In the dimly lit wardrobe, squeak...... There was a faint sound, and the door was opened. Then she opened her eyes from her sleep. Lin Qing's consciousness was still very vague, she was extremely tired, her feet were rubbing against each other, but the itch that was unbearable was frantically drilling into her heart, making her extremely uncomfortable. Finally, her brain's thinking became clear, and she rubbed her eyes and sat up with difficulty. At this point, the itch of the drill heart was gone, and yes, she was very sure that the itch of the foot plate was no longer there. But at the end of the bed, there was one more thing, reflecting the light from the garden outside the window, and she could recognize the appearance of the thing, even if it was gray. A crimson nose, a twisted and exaggerated smile, dark pupils, and slender eyelashes seem to be wriggling. She gasped, looking extremely innocent but terrified. It was just a puppet, that's all, Lin Qing guessed, and then lifted the quilt and slowly climbed over. The puppet doll seemed to be smiling at herself, its lower body stuck in the iron frame at the foot of the bed, and the girl reached out to pick it up. Then she got out of bed, endured the cold and shivering, and it took a long time for her to get the puppet out of the iron frame.
She held the puppet in her hand and looked at it, the doll's weird smile did not appear in her brain's memory, it didn't seem to be her own. Lin Qing was very puzzled, and didn't know why the puppet appeared here, still in his bed. She looked around and saw that the door of the wardrobe was open, then glanced at the puppet in her hand, and then turned and walked towards the door. Click, click, click...... She pressed the light in the room, but it didn't come on, and then pressed it several times, but to no avail. After a brief hesitation, she dragged the puppet towards the wardrobe by the faint light and shadow of the light outside the window. In the silence of the night, the surroundings were surprisingly quiet, even the light touch of the chandelier on the ceiling was so harsh, and the girl looked up, it should have been just a breeze. Immediately afterward, she heard another noise, loud movement, in the closet, like the sound of a wooden plank. At this time, her trembling steps slowed even more, and she stopped about a meter away from the wardrobe, holding the puppet in her hand, vigilant to the wardrobe in front of her. It was pitch black inside, except for the open cabinet door that was faintly visible, and bam! There was another muffled sound, and the girl's brain shook violently, her pupils dilated rapidly, and her sluggish expression was extremely uneasy. She didn't know what it felt like to have a rapid heartbeat, but she was panting. Bang! The sound seemed to get louder and louder, like a knock on the door. "Mom......" The slightly trembling voice, Lin Qing called softly, she thought that her mother was hiding in the cabinet and playing games with her, and this cabinet could fully accommodate the next adult. Is that you? Her voice grew more and more timid, and her body trembled uncontrollably. Bang! A dull sound struck her fragile nerves. "Are you hiding inside?" The voice gradually merged into a cry. "It's not fun at all!" She was terrified. "You're scaring me!" Bang! The sound of the planks was clear. The girl's curiosity made her take a difficult step towards the closet.
She was extremely uncomfortable, and with each step, her heart beat wildly fast carried an extra load, but she didn't know where this feeling came from, she couldn't understand what fear was, she really thought that her mother was playing hide and seek with her. She held her breath, and finally came to the outside of the closet, and the picture inside the closet began to appear in her eyes, messy comic books, messy puppets, she trembled and stretched out her hand, paddled her feet, her slender hand shook violently, she still reached into the depths of the wardrobe after several hesitations, and was gradually swallowed up by darkness, until she touched the wooden board in the cabinet. She almost closed her eyes, but the sound of tapping did not appear again, and the tense nerves gradually paralyzed, and she felt her calves tingle, so she withdrew her outstretched hand. The silence lasted for a moment, and she let out a long breath, and the feeling in her heart was slightly better. Biting her lip, she stared down at the puppet she was holding, and then carefully placed it in the cupboard, this surprising smile really made her uncomfortable, she held her lips, and was about to turn away. Suddenly! The strange puppet's eyes were blinking, and Lin Qing took a sharp breath and stared at it, thinking that he was hallucinating. But the range of that chilling smile is gradually increasing! The gloomy face precipitated and evolved into a murderous expression! This time, Lin Qing finally saw clearly, its eyes blinked again, and its dark pupils were filled with blood in an instant. "Ahh A terrible, frightened scream didn't have time to burst out of her throat, and her whole body threw herself into the cabinet, and an invisible force pushed in from behind. Bang! The cabinet door is heavily closed!
Like a violent thunderclap resounding in the sky above Dero City, Mu Tianyu, who was sitting in the study, shuddered for a while, and looked out the window suddenly, still holding Zhong Yi's notes in his hand. This lightning and thunder came unexpectedly, and a snowstorm was inevitable. He turned around, and there was a slight footstep at the door. "Hey, can't you sleep?" Gu Ruoxi, who was wearing a pink nightgown, was hazy, even more charming.
"I'm sorry for the noise." With a helpless smile, Mu Tianyu closed the note in his hand.
Gu Ruoxi leaned against the carved pillar and swept the things on the desk. "You don't look good, do you have something on your mind?"
"Hmm......" Mu Tianyu took a deep breath. Yes. He nodded. encountered some annoying things, I ......" He stood up and looked towards Gu Ruoxi, his eyes a little hesitant. "I, I want to go out tomorrow."
As soon as the words came out of Mu Tianyu's mouth, Gu Ruoxi's eyes were slightly red, and she wrapped her nightgown tightly. "But, tomorrow is Zilan's birthday." There was a hint of supplication in her twinkling eyes.
"I ...... I know, I'm just ...... I'm sorry...... I ......" Mu Tianyu's mood was also very low, he had promised his wife that he would never work for at least one day in a year, which was his daughter's birthday.
Gu Ruoxi took a deep breath and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes. "She had planned to go to the playground the other day, and Seth said it was a family reunion before she left." She held her heavy head and sobbed. "I've always thought that family gatherings are all about family."
"I'll be back, just later." Mu Tianyu couldn't worry about it, he walked to Gu Ruoxi's side, stroked her hair, and his pitiful eyes made him uncomfortable. She ...... She is a little girl, the same as Zilan, but the family conditions are not as good as ours, if I don't go, she will be as uncomfortable as Zilan. I promise, I'll be back in the evening! When this is over, we will leave here and go to Maria Beach for a holiday. It's hot summer in the southern hemisphere, and we're lying on the beach with the sea breeze blowing and walking barefoot on the beach, letting the ebb and flow of the sea wash over the imprint of our family, bringing our happiness to the deep sea and forever. Mu Tianyu gave his lover a beautiful picture and prayed, he missed everything very much.
He picked up Gu Ruoxi, kissed her tear-soaked cheek, and left the study. A cold snap came in through the window, the notes on the desk flipped through the pages, and everything fell into immersion as the lights went out.
