12 Chapter 12
Fragments of glass on the ground, and some of the display cabinets with puppets neatly arranged on the walls were destroyed. They didn't know what was going on in this room when they had just experienced the ghost hitting the wall.
The four of them cautiously walked in and looked at the puppets.
"Sure enough, it's here." Rowling said.
Each puppet has a display case of its own, with their name on it. Now that some of the puppets had been destroyed, the chill in the air was unsettling to them.
She looked around, looking for Mary Shaw's bones.
"Who broke the puppet, Mary Shaw?" Jamie looked around nervously, and he always felt that Mary Shaw's ghost was watching them quietly from some corner.
"Probably not." "Mary Shaw treats the puppets as her own children, and she wouldn't hurt them," Rowling said. And her ability is to possess puppets, and the more puppets there are, the better it will be for her. ”
Mr. Warren walks past the puppet-making table, which is lined with puppet-making tools. A large glass jar filled with puppet eyeballs reflected a seeping glow when the flashlight of the mobile phone flashlight passed, as if those were human eyes.
Winnie was also looking around with her phone in her hand, and accidentally kicked a round thing under her feet, which gurgled and rolled out. The movement caught the attention of the others, and Mr. Warren, who was not far away, also looked over, and he and Winnie followed the ball with their phone flashlights at the same time.
The ball, that is, Mary Shaw's eyeballs, rolled to a seat and stopped. The chair was covered with a red cloth, and looking at the strange shape of the bulge, everyone subconsciously thought of Mary Shaw's bones.
They looked at each other nervously, and Mr. Warren cautiously leaned in, holding his phone in one hand and the cross in the other, and then gently pinched the corner of the red cloth with the hand holding the cross.
Everyone's attention was on the red cloth, and Rowling nodded at Mr. Warren. Mr. Warren held his breath and pulled the red cloth violently!
Underneath the red cloth was not the bones of Mary Shaw as they thought they were, but a puppet the size of a human child wearing a small black suit with its head bowed.
Jamie and Lisa on the other end of the video breathe a sigh of relief, while Rowling leans over and pulls the rope that connects the "puppet" joints with a solemn face. The puppet's head jerked up, revealing a half-rotting face.
It was a boy whose skin on his face was somewhat rotten, revealing his gums. Two eyeballs were removed and replaced with a pair of puppet eyes.
Rowling let go of her hand, and the boy's head hung down again.
Rowling: "It's Michael Eisen. ”
Jamie: "What? ”
Rowling looked away: "The missing boy, Mary Shaw wanted to make the perfect puppet, so she took the child captive. She made the child into a puppet, but the townspeople were already suspicious of her. ”
"The boy's family and townspeople broke into Mary Shaw's house to no avail of a search for the child. Enraged, they forced Mary Shaw to scream and then cut out her tongue. ”
Later, Mary Shaw left a last word for the mortuary to make her into a puppet and bury her with 101 puppets. Mary Shaw, who had become an evil spirit, returned to the world and brutally killed all the inhabitants and descendants who had participated in her killing, tearing their mouths and pulling out their tongues.
"Because of this curse, many people died in the originally wealthy town, and some left here to escape Mary Shaw's curse. Later, I don't know why Mary Shaw never killed again. Until Mr. Eisen's stepmother dug up Mary Shaw and the puppet and made a deal with Mary Shaw. ”
Jamie understood: "So, Ella sent the puppet to our house because Mary Shaw knew Lisa was pregnant?" She wanted to kill everyone in the Eisens. ”
Lisa couldn't figure it out, "Why?" She's also from the Eisen family! ”
Jamie thought of his mother and his previous stepmother, and understood why Ella hated them. Perhaps, even if he forced his two wives to death, his father's old problems still did not change, and Ella was also subjected to violence/force/abuse/treatment.
Since Mary Shaw's target is the Eisens, what about his father?
Jamie: "Oh no, my dad is dangerous right now!" ”
Jamie turned around and ran out and was stopped by Winnie: "Jamie! ”
"What?" Jamie looked back confusedly.
"There's something I've been hesitating to say." Winnie looked at the puppets all over the wall and said to Jamie, "Do you remember what your father was wearing?" ”
"What do you mean?" Jamie was in a hurry to get back to the mansion now, and he didn't understand what Winnie was doing with his father's clothes.
Winnie: "The first time I saw your father, I wondered, why did he wear a suit at home when he was paralyzed from a stroke and wasn't on a special occasion?" ”
Lisa suddenly thought of something, covered her mouth in horror, and her scalp tingled: "Oh my God! ”
Jamie's mouth was open, not understanding what the expressions on Winnie and Warren's faces meant, but he already had a bad premonition.
Winnie continued, but her voice was soft as if she was afraid of hurting him: "Your father's dress...... Much like Billy, and like these puppets. ”
Jamie felt the world spin for a while, his eyes turned to the puppet in a black suit and bow tie in the display case, and his mind kept flashing back to his father yesterday.
Jamie shook his head sharply and stepped back, completely unable to accept the truth: "No, he spoke to me yesterday. ”
Ella wanted to kill them, but ......
Rowling looked at him with pity: "Mary Shaw is a ventriloquist. ”
Lisa asks worriedly on the other end of the video, "Honey, are you okay?" ”
"I have to go back." Even if he resents his father, at this moment Jamie just wants to rush back to the old mansion to make sure that his father is safe.
Mary Shaw's bones have not been found, and she has not even appeared until now, and Rowling is not worried about letting them go back: "Mary Shaw may be waiting for you in the old mansion, so far Mary Shaw has not attacked us except for the ghost covering her eyes just now." ”
If it weren't for Winnie's discovery, Jamie, who returned to the mansion to discover the truth, would definitely be devastated, and might not be able to help screaming under an emotional breakdown.
And at that time, it was time for Mary Shaw to take his life.
Rowling told Jamie about the seriousness of the matter, trying to keep his emotions in check: "Our task now is to find Mary Shaw's bones and burn them with the puppets. ”
Jamie's heart is full of fear and sadness, but fortunately it hasn't broken his sanity, and he has to think about not only himself but also his pregnant wife. The anger burning in his heart made him change his caution just now, and rummaged around with his phone to find all the places where Mary Shaw's bones could be hidden.
The four of them searched quickly, and combined with Rowling's sensitivity to evil spirits, they finally found the bones hidden by Mary Shaw.
Because of the resentment and curse, and the powerful evil spirit, Mary Shaw's bones are extremely terrifying. It looks like an evil puppet prop, a combination of a puppet and a human.
After finding Mary Shaw's bones, Rowling and Mr. Warren raised their strongest vigilance. In their past experience, every critical moment becomes more dangerous. And the evil spirit has a high sensitivity to her own corpse, and Mary Shaw may have noticed it when they found her bones, and was rushing this way.
"Quick! Burn Mary Shaw's bones before she returns! ”
Jamie quickly lit the cloth and threw it on Mary Shaw's body, setting the tablecloths and the old clothes on fire. He's going to set a fire and burn it all down and leave Mary Shaw homeless!
The fire spread quickly, and they quickly evacuated Mary Shaw's residence and ran downstairs. I don't know if the fire will spread to the performance hall below, but it doesn't matter anymore, the residents of the town of Ravensfield won't be here.
When the old inhabitants died, they would take with them the horror legend of Mary Shaw.
The four of them rowed away, and Lisa, who was waiting on the other side, was already standing on the shore, and when Jamie got ashore, she rushed over and gave him a hug.
Waiting is the hardest part, even if she is staring at her phone all the time, she is inevitably frightened.
Lisa: "That's it, right?" Mary Shaw is gone, right? She looked eagerly at the Exorcist couple.
Mr. Warren didn't dare to pack the ticket, "Let's go back to Eisen's old house now." ”
The two cars started again, and Jamie slammed on the gas pedal along the way, and if it weren't for Lisa's persuasion, Winnie would have suspected that she had managed to get out of the horror game world, but finally died at the hands of Jamie.
When the car drove to the door of Eisen's old house, Jamie was the first to run down and slam the door. But the old house had been quiet, and they had waited for a long time for no one to open the door.
No, Jamie can only violently open the door with Mr. Warren. This time, Mr. Warren brought the Teki Warehouse with him to prevent Ella from making a surprise attack.
"Father!"
"Ella!"
Jamie shouts out to his father and Ella, but never gets a response. When he ran to the second floor, he saw Edward Eisen, wearing the suit he wore yesterday and was in a wheelchair with his head down.
He looked like he hadn't moved since they left yesterday.
Jamie stared, only to feel his heart beat stop for a moment.
He leaned over step by step, raised his hand tremblingly, patted his father's shoulder, and said in a hoarse voice: "...... Father? ”
Rowling had already walked behind old Eisen, and after just one glance at her, she turned her head sharply: "Oh! Her expression was uncomfortable, for old Eisen's back had been hollowed out and connected with a wooden stick.
It's like a puppet made from a corpse.
Winnie grabbed Lisa, who was still trying to move forward, and the next second, Jamie, who saw the truth, let out a broken wail.
……
Jamie and Lisa give Edward Eisen's funeral. Except for the old Henry of the funeral home, no one knows what happened to him.
Ella vanishes, and they find a file bag in her room drawer that contains her prenatal checkup records, and the final miscarriage report.
Ella was once pregnant, but was beaten by Eisen Sr. to the point of miscarriage. Everyone guessed what happened next. She dug up Mary Shaw's bones and dolls, and willingly possessed by her. It was she who delivered the puppet to Jamie's door and called Jamie to come home.
Mary Shaw wants revenge, and so does Ella.
But this is unfair to Jamie, whose grandparents have already died at the hands of Mary Shaw, and it was Mary Shaw who killed Michael Eisen before the townspeople retaliated in the first place.
But Mary Shaw is a disaster to everyone. Jamie's mother died because of his father, and he is also a victim in this family, and Ella wants to kill his wife and children when she chooses to get revenge on Eisen Sr. to lure them back.
This series of events made Jamie depressed, and he attended the funeral with a numb expression. After the funeral, they left the town and went home.
As the car drove past the sign for the small town of Ravensfield, Winnie looked back. Mary Shaw has settled, and it's time for her life to return to peace.
