22 Chapter 22
Mia's face turned pale, unable to convince herself that what she was seeing was a hallucination. Even though she was extremely frightened, as a mother, she suppressed her fear of worrying about her child, and she ran back to the door of the baby room again and knocked on the door.
Under her cry, the lock of the door was unlocked without warning. Mia rushed in, picked up the child and ran out, and the door slammed shut in front of her, and it was pitch black in front of her.
Mia could see clearly that there was no one in the room and that the door was suddenly closed.
In the dark room with an eerie white shadow, Mia turns the doorknob in horror, and little Leah feels her mother's emotions crying again.
The door wouldn't open, and Mia clutched the child in tears and stuck her back against the door panel, she remembered that there were things in the room that she didn't dare to turn her back to. Perhaps in some corner, the scary kid who appeared in front of the surveillance camera was quietly watching them.
Uncontrollably short of breath, Mia shivered and reached to fumble for the light switch, but she didn't expect to touch a cold little hand on the switch. As Mia retracted her hand like an electric shock, the cold hand grabbed her.
"Shhhh
"And then?" Jamie asked, his face not so good. Not long ago, their family had experienced being targeted by evil spirits, and knowing that ghosts did exist, they naturally wouldn't think that Mia was suffering from hallucinations.
Mia shuddered uncontrollably: "I screamed in fright, I can't see anything when the curtains are drawn, I can't turn on the lights......"
Even Mia didn't know how she got through, and when she came back to her senses, the door that couldn't be opened was pushed open by her, and it was too late for her husband to be away from home, so she didn't know where to go, so she could only huddle her daughter on the bed in her room until her husband came back from work.
And John Gordon, as a doctor, naturally doesn't believe that there are ghosts in the house, plus Mia's previous experience has a serious psychological shadow, and now he has to take care of the child, he takes it for granted that Mia is too stressed and hallucinates.
"Do you believe me?" Mia asks Lisa with tears in her eyes that her husband doesn't believe in her and that she will go crazy if she continues like this.
She didn't dare to put Leah alone in the nursery now, she had to put the child in her sight when doing housework, after last night's fright, Mia could see a shadow walking around the house during the day. It was because she also saw it during the day that Mia suspected that there was something wrong with the house.
Just when she was making dinner, Lea who was in the stroller suddenly disappeared, Mia felt cardiac arrest, and subconsciously ran to the baby room, and when she ran to the door, she saw Leah and the doll lying in the rocking chair. There was a momentary emotional breakdown, and Mia picked up the child and rushed out of the house.
Lisa immediately took Mia's hand and said firmly, "We believe in you!" ”
Mia was happy and sad to hear this, the people closest to her didn't believe her, but fortunately there were still people who wanted to believe her.
Jamie saw that he had to defend John: "Most people don't believe that there are ghosts in this world, and it is even more difficult for Mr. Gordon to accept being a doctor. We believe you are what happened to us. ”
Hearing this, Mia looked over blankly, and she felt incredible and creepy in her heart: "What? Have you experienced it too? ”
Looking at their cozy little home, Mia subconsciously wondered if there was something wrong with the house here.
The young couple looked at each other, Lisa touched her stomach and said, "Aren't you curious why I'm afraid of puppets?" ”
"Isn't it dollphobia?"
Some people are just afraid of dolls because they sometimes look like people at first glance, which can arouse fear in some people.
Lisa had to start with her nightmare, saying that she had been repeating the nightmare of being killed by a puppet, and one day she actually received a puppet that was exactly the same as the one in the nightmare......
Even if the incident had passed, Lisa still had palpitations when she recalled it again, and whenever she thought about it, she felt that Jamie's behavior of burning Mary Shaw's bones was very dangerous, but fortunately, Mary Shaw's ghost was not around at that time, otherwise the ending would probably not be the way it is now.
"That's why I'm afraid of those puppet dolls in your collection." Lisa said.
After listening to Lisa's story, Mia's whole body fell into a panic, not only did Lisa's experience confirm the existence of ghosts, but she also remembered the puppet doll that Annabelle held in her arms when she committed suicide. Obviously, the doll had been lost by John before the move, but after they moved here, they somehow found the doll in the box.
If it's not the house that's wrong, it's actually the doll that's wrong?
Is it easy for ghosts to possess puppet bodies similar to humans?
Seeing that Mia hadn't spoken for a long time but her face was getting whiter and whiter, Lisa asked worriedly, "Mia?" What happened to you? ”
Opening her mouth, Mia said in a dry voice, "The reason we moved here is because I almost got burned to death. ”
The Eisens were startled, and before they could ask Mia, they couldn't help but say, "If it's that doll...... It must be Annabelle's ghost. Almost two months ago, I was woken up one night by screams from next door. ”
Next door to the Gordon family lived a couple who adopted a daughter, Annabelle, in their early years, but Annabelle ran away from home and never returned.
That night she sensed something was wrong next door and woke John up.
Anyone who had followed the newspapers would have noticed that burglaries and murders were not uncommon, so John decided to sneak over and take a look, and if there was a situation, he would come back to the police for help.
"I regretted it after John left, what if it was really the gangsters over there who found him?"
Mia, who was left alone at home, was very panicked, they should call the police first instead of running over to see it themselves, what if they were bumping into gangsters and killing people? You're going to be killed, right?
Thinking of this, she hurriedly chased out and wanted to call John back, but as soon as she went out, she saw John running back, and looked panicked and asked Mia to call the police immediately.
"John told me that my neighbor had been killed." Mia recalls the horror she felt.
So Mia ran home in a panic and called the police.
She said with a crying voice: "I didn't expect that the murderer next door had sneaked into the house when I was out, and attacked me before I hung up the phone." "Mia was a pregnant woman at the time.
Mia fell to the ground in severe pain, and John rushed back to scuffle with the assailant as he was about to mend the knife.
When the couple was about to be killed, the patrolling police finally arrived here and shot the assailant dead.
If Winnie had been here, she would have found Mia's description very familiar, having seen Mia being pushed into an ambulance on television two months ago.
"It was their adopted daughter Annabelle and her boyfriend who killed my neighbor and came back that day to kill her adoptive parents."
Mia took a sip and replied, "Annabelle hid in another room and committed suicide, and when I heard that she died, she was holding my doll." ”
That doll was given to her by John a hard-to-find out-of-print, made by a very powerful doll master, originally a limited edition, and then the doll master died unexpectedly and he only completed one before he died, you can imagine how precious it was. Mia is a doll lover, and John has put a lot of effort into this doll.
Originally, Mia liked it very much, and Mia, who was hard to find it by her husband, didn't lose it because of the previous incident, but she didn't expect that strange things would continue to happen at home from this time on.
The faucet that suddenly turned on, the things that were placed in a high place fell inexplicably, the TV that suddenly turned on in the middle of the night, and the electrical appliances that suddenly started......
A lot of small movements can be attributed to wind blowing, carelessness, electrical malfunction, and so on. Mia didn't take it to heart all along, after all, who would believe that there were ghosts in this world unless she saw it with her own eyes?
But the thought of someone dying holding it made Mia's heart faintly furry when she saw it again, "So I asked John to throw it." ”
As a result, a fire broke out in the house the next day, and if it weren't for the neighbors' reaction, Mia would have been burned to death.
Mia bit her lip and clenched her fists: "Now that I think about it, it's just that there was a fire in the house after throwing it away!" And she actually put the doll that suddenly appeared in the luggage into Xiao Liya's room!
Mia cried in regret and hugged her child: "Oh my God! I actually let Leah stay with it every day! ”
Lisa and Jamie aren't feeling good either, they've just gotten rid of Billy the puppet, and now there's another one. Mia is their friend, they can't die without help, and the ghost is unreasonable, and no one knows if the ghost possessed by the doll will target them.
"You can ask the Warrens for help." Lisa picked up the phone next to her to look up the phone number of the Warrens, and the sooner they asked for help, the better.
After listening to Lisa's previous experience, Mia also believes that the Warrens are real exorcists, and if they can solve Lisa's troubles, they will definitely be able to solve the ghost possessed in the doll's body.
The phone was quickly connected, and Mr. Warren promised to come over tomorrow after learning about the situation, and it was better not to go home until then, after all, the Warrens could not judge how powerful the ghost possessed by the puppet doll was.
It was already getting dark, and Mia didn't dare to go back to that home. John had to work the night shift lately, and now it would be impossible for Mia to spend the night alone in that house with the children. She didn't dare to let her go to the hotel alone, who knows if the doll would chase after her?
Seeing Mia's concerns, Lisa also remembered what happened to her, and she also didn't dare to go back to her home, but fortunately, she was taken in by a kind neighbor. So she enthusiastically proposed, "Would you like to stay at our house for one night?" Tomorrow the Warrens will be here. ”
"Thank you." Mia said gratefully with a sigh of relief.
How would they have known that the possession of the doll's body was not an ordinary ghost at all, but a demon.
