[I went downstairs as fast as I could, although I was barefoot, but I still managed to do two steps and one step, and in the circular corridor, the rows of candles were brighter than the original chandeliers. There were two or three sticks of red wax under almost every lamp in the manor, which I had not noticed before, but now after midnight the whole palace was dotted with candlelight like Milky Way stars.

I made my way to the lobby, the sound of gasps and heartbeats almost muffled out the noise, so I didn't hear any more noticeable collisions. Could it be that the guy slipped away again? I'm one step too late! Cold sweat spilled down my forehead, and I stared blankly at the toy pantry in front of me, letting the light and shadow around me sway in front of me.

Creak...... Creak...... The creaking sound of a wooden plank came from the dark room, and I immediately got goosebumps. Swallowing his saliva, he speculated, had the man not left yet? But soon I regretted it, after all, I am a helpless woman, and even if it is as I expected, I am afraid that I will not be able to take advantage of the slightest advantage, and exaggerate, and I will definitely give someone a little color.

But the more and more fear I grew more calm, and after a moment of confusion, I turned and walked to the fireplace, and then took off a red candle from the stone wall, the candlestick must be made of bronze, and it was heavy in my hand. I shivered slightly as I approached, the floor beneath my feet as if it were frozen, numbness and tingling. Creak...... Creak...... The creaking sound of the wooden planks continued to overflow, like the fear in my heart, endlessly.

The shadows in the storage room were gradually dispelled, and I could see the scene inside, the light of the flames penetrating layer by layer, and my shadow, swaying in the room with the swaying of the fireworks. There was no toy car on the ground, and it was autopiloting, and I held the candlestick high and looked around the corner, as if the car was still in the basket. Then I heard the creaking of the planks again, behind me.

Suddenly, I turned around and made a violent movement, causing the candlelight in my hand to shake for a while, but under the flickering light, I could still see clearly what was close to the wooden cabinet. It was a small wooden horse, it was slowly swaying one after the other, I shivered, held my breath, did not dare to move my toes, the strange atmosphere around me, made me in the ice and snow, and my whole body was paralyzed.

I couldn't believe what I was seeing, but I did, and the little wooden horse was moving on its own, squeaking and squeaking. The shadow under the candlelight, engraved on the wooden cabinet, also swayed one after the other, and the black shadow of the Trojan horse was more similar than the original, and I was so obsessed with it that I could stare at it.

In an instant, as if in the shadows, on the body of the Trojan horse, a phantom appeared, and I broke down emotionally, and gradually changed my gaze, as if a child was sitting on it. But I knew very well that there was nothing on the Trojan. Fear descended like thunder, and the strange cold froze my body, and I could hardly twist my neck, since there was a child's shadow in the floating shadow on the wooden cabinet, the body must be behind me.

I desperately wanted to turn back, but I couldn't, I don't know if it was because I was terrified to the extreme, so I instinctively drove it so as not to completely collapse, but the incontinence of peeing was already overflowing down my pants. I knew it was dishonorable, but it was, and I couldn't comprehend the terrifying moment that was coming, and I couldn't believe my absurd physical reactions. However, as time passed, I could no longer carry the strong pressure in my heart, and in desperation, I turned around.

There are some things that I have heard with my own ears may not be true, and what I have seen with my own eyes may not be true, but at this moment, I will not have such a high level of consciousness, and I can still convince myself that all this is just an illusion. Frightened by excess, the candlestick slipped from his hand and fell heavily to the floor.

Boom! The sound was muffled, and the heart was clear, but the flames were not extinguished, as if they were scurrying more violently on the floor. On the raised platform to the right of the storeroom, there were a number of dolls, which I had seen before, but at this moment, there was a larger puppet sitting up, and he was sitting on a high wooden shelf with his legs dangling. The puppet came alive, the light and shadow of the fireworks dancing on its yellowed skin, like its angry emotions, and its clear eyes exuded an eerie and terrifying aura. This is the wax figure in the children's room!

I almost sat on the floor with my legs limp in fright, but in horror and panic, I also guessed that someone must be playing tricks on me, and that the wax figure couldn't have come here on his own, and sat up from the puppet pile. "Hey, this, it's not funny at all, I, I know you're in there, quick, get out." I compromised, my hoarse voice already causing tears to flow from my eyes. "Okay, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have yelled at you, please come out, you really scared me." I prayed, and gradually bent down, picked up the menorah, and held it high, looking carefully at the back of the elevated platform, which was enough to hide an adult.

"I'm just a family caregiver, you can't do this to me, well, I'll admit, I was too presumptuous, I didn't do my job, but ......" I moved slowly, suddenly picking up my speed, leaning behind the elevated platform, and growling, "But you don't have to scare me like that!" A low roar resounded in the empty manor, and no one answered, and there was nothing behind it.

How I wish I could discover someone, because this bewildering fear is invisible, abstract, and the strange oppression not only makes me uncomfortable, but also suffocates me. Faintly, the creaking sound of the wooden plank, drifted into my mind again, unstoppable tears invaded my vision, turned my head in astonishment, the little wooden horse was still shaking, did not stop at all, the shadow projected on the wooden cabinet, the wax figure enjoyed this moment, leisurely sat on it one after the other, and had a very happy time.

"Do you think this scares me? Just this damn wax man, ridiculous Trojan horse. "I rushed over a little frantically, and then stretched out my stiff hand to stabilize the Trojan horse." Alright, alright, now, now I'll see what else you can do. "It was like touching an ice cube, and the cold breath soaked into my palm, straight to my heart, and in a trance, I could feel the hot breath coming out of my mouth condensed instantly. I lifted my numb hand away from the trojan horse, and a smile of joy appeared on my face as it stood still.

However, suddenly a piercing sound resounded in the room, and I broke down and screamed again, and a stroller automatically started to play music. Like the cold laughter of a child, it filled the room. I panicked, looking at the glittering cart, startled by the eerie and terrifying noise. I couldn't take the horror around me any longer, and I screamed and rushed out. (To be continued.) )
