It has long been believed that ghosts can speak through the belly of a living person, and later ventriloquists appeared. And Mary Shaw is a puppeteer, using ventriloquist with puppet interpretation.

Mary Shaw has never been married and naturally has no children, she sees the puppets as her own children, and also sees herself as the mother of the puppets. Back then, the puppet theatre was still very glorious, and the townspeople loved to go there to see Mary Shaw and the puppets perform, and little Henry and his parents also visited.

On that occasion, during Mary Shaw's performance, a boy loudly pointed out that the puppet could not speak, because he saw Mary Shaw's mouth moving slightly. Although this is well known to all audiences, it is also a serious stage accident to be pointed out in the middle of a performance.

It's as annoying as someone at a magic show who loudly exposes the magician's actions, which is a very faux pas, and all eyes turn to the boy.

The boy was flustered and confused, so he was telling the truth, why were everyone's expressions so serious and weird?

Fortunately, Mary Shaw calmed the crisis with a superb performance and ushered in the applause of the audience.

But Mary Shaw's grim eyes chilled the boy and Henry, like a cold viper staring at her prey, and made the boy wince.

"Soon after, the child disappeared, and everyone suspected that he had been killed by Mary Shaw." Said Henry Sr.

"Did you find the boy's body?" Rowling asked.

"No, Mary Shaw was killed shortly after. She was sent to this funeral home, where my father was buried. In Mary Shaw's last words, she wished that she would be made into a puppet and buried with her 101 children when she died. ”

Speaking of this, old Henry could not help but recall the horror of the night his father buried Mary Shaw.

That night, while his father was away, he secretly peeked at Mary Shaw on the coffin, and she was so strange and hideous that she was made into a puppet that frightened him to the ground, and she had already become a ghost.

Perhaps it was because her father helped her fulfill her last wish that Mary Shaw let them go.

"Who killed Mary Shaw?" Jamie asked.

"I don't know." Said Henry Sr.

But it was clear to everyone that it was the angry townsfolk who killed her. That's why Mary Shaw turned into a demon for revenge.

"Was that boy really killed by Mary Shaw?" Lisa asked. If there is no conclusive evidence that the boy was killed by Mary Shaw, then wasn't Mary Shaw wronged?

Old Henry still shook his head.

The atmosphere was a little silent, old Henry hesitated for a moment and took a stack of photos, Lisa glanced at it and turned her face away in horror: "Oh, oh my God." ”

In one photo, each corpse has a black hole with a wide open mouth and a face full of horror, and their tongues have been pulled out without exception. This reminded Lisa of her own nightmare.

Jamie also looked away after only one glance, questioning why old Henry took such a picture.

Compared with the Eisens, the battle-hardened Warrens were much calmer, and they frowned and looked at the stack of photos, their faces becoming more and more solemn.

"These are...... Victim. "It hasn't been seen for many years." ”

"Why did Mary Shaw pull out people's tongues?" Winnie asked.

"Because she also had her tongue cut out when she was killed." Old Henry said, "The people of the town suspected that the boy had a grudge against her for pointing out that Mary Shaw's puppet was not alive, and she had her tongue cut out that day." And...... Puppets don't have tongues. ”

"And where is Mary Shaw buried?" Winnie asked again.

"In the cemetery."

……

The rain was so heavy that Mr. Warren checked the weather forecast and decided to head to Ravensfield Cemetery tomorrow.

They drove back to the only hotel in the small town of Ravensfield, where they opened three rooms, one for the two couples and one for the single Winnie.

When Lisa was going back to her room, she called Winnie, "Come and stay with us if you're scared, Jamie can sleep on the couch." ”

I am not afraid that there is no need to squeeze together with other young couples, Winnie refused with a smile: "It's okay, we live next door, I will call someone if there is something." ”

Lisa thought for a moment and nodded, as far as they had learned, encountering Mary Shaw would not be in danger as long as she didn't scream. When Winnie went back, Lisa looked in the direction of the window and said, "If the signboard is broken, don't fix it, this red light is too weird." ”

The sign light outside the hotel is red, and it looks very strange when it flashes on the window.

Jamie took his clothes from his travel bag, rummaged through Lisa's clothes and said, "You go take a shower first, and don't close the door to prevent accidents." ”

"Okay." Lisa exchanged a kiss with her husband and took her pajamas to the bathroom.

On the other end, the Warrens were also preparing to wash up and rest, and the box containing the puppet Billy was quietly placed on the chair. Because Mary Shaw can possess a puppet, the Warrens never discuss related topics when the puppet is present, to prevent leaks.

They use their phones to type and communicate and finalize plans for tomorrow. Mr. Warren was going to get up early to buy some shovels, and the next day he would have to dig up the grave at the cemetery. Normally, to deal with evil spirits, as long as the bones of the evil spirits are burned, they can be scattered, and they have to buy another barrel of gasoline to come back.

The night slowly deepened, but the torrential rain had not stopped.

The weather was too hot and humid, and there was no air conditioning in this small hotel, so they kicked the quilt aside, and their foreheads were quickly wet with sweat.

After a while, the temperature in the hotel dropped suddenly, and Lisa closed her eyes and looked for the quilt to kick to the side. At that moment a dark ghostly figure walked behind the house, and finally stopped in front of their window.

In the next room, Winnie slowly opened her eyes.

This strange change in temperature was obviously unusual, not to mention the fact that a wraith had just walked past her window.

Without a trace of emotion in her eyes, she slowly got up from the bed and stood silently by the window, looking out through the gap in the curtain.

In the darkness of the night, Winnie could vaguely see a tall, thin woman standing there quietly, holding something in one hand but her vision was blocked, Winnie couldn't see clearly, and the other hand lifted a little bit to push open the window of the Eisens.

These days, the Eisens had become accustomed to locking the doors and windows, but the room was too hot, so they left a small slit to breathe, and they didn't expect a ghost to find them that night.

The dark shadow who was about to put his things into the Eisen's room suddenly turned to the side with the wooden eyeballs in his dry sockets, and was caught off guard by the girl who was quietly observing in the dark.

The black shadow turned and slowly walked towards the girl's window, and before the girl could retreat, an extremely terrifying face was suddenly pasted on the windowpane!

Mary Shaw's fierce expression slammed into view!

Winnie was startled and took a step back.

At that moment, everyone was going to scream in fright. Just shouting can trigger Mary Shaw's killing attempt.

She was targeted by Mary Shaw.

But she was worried about how to kill the other party quietly.

Winnie's fingers flicked, and a chain extended from her hand, and the other disappeared into the dark corner of the room.

"Whoa," the other end of the chain moved.

The temperature in the air plummeted, and the rain splashed on the glass windows immediately froze into frost, and the breath exhaled from the nose turned into a white mist.

Something more terrifying than Mary Shaw appeared.

Mary Shaw's blank eyes fixed on the room behind the window, the chains vanished into black mist, and a pair of pale hands appeared on the floor in the darkness, its owner groaning in pain, twisting his body to crawl through the blood-stained suitcase.

It was no longer human, as if the bones of the whole body had been broken, and it had been stuffed into a small space, and it could only moan in pain when it opened its mouth wide. Black liquid kept flowing from the black hole's eyes, leaving two tear stains on the pale face.

"Hmm...... Hmmm......"

Like a man's painful moan/moan before death, it is also his last voice left in the world.

In the next room, Rowling was suddenly awakened by a chill, only to realize how much the temperature in the room had dropped.

The exorcist, who had been dealing with evil spirits for many years, immediately understood what was happening, and she turned over and turned on the lamp and made a silent hand gesture towards Edby, who was also awakened.

The couple tacitly approached the door and slowly opened the door.

The demon crawling slowly on the floor suddenly sped up and pounced on Mary Shaw outside the window, although Mary Shaw did not understand where the demon came from and why it attacked her, but she immediately disappeared from the window before she realized his intentions, and the object in her hand fell to the ground with a click.

Sensing someone approaching Winnie and retreating into the darkness, the distorted body on the floor turned into a black mist and disappeared, and she quietly lay back on the bed.

It's just a little bit, it's a pity.

Winnie closed her eyes, and the Warrens walked past her door, to the Eisens' room, where there was a noise.

Awakened by the sound of the landing, the Eisens shivered as they stared at the fully open, black-hole window.
