26 Chapter 26 (Catching Bugs)

At this point in time, Gordon's family had just finished dinner, and John Gordon had used all his acting skills to get along with his wife, who might be possessed by the devil, maybe he had seen through the cunning demon, or maybe it was watching his lame performance with a playful and cold gaze, but John couldn't be a little lucky. Because if they weren't careful, their family could die tonight.

He sat on the sofa in the living room with his daughter in his arms, and the cartoon playing on the TV attracted the attention of the little one. Gordon's gaze glanced at the kitchen from time to time, and Mia was standing by the sink in her apron while humming a song and washing the dishes. The hair pinned behind her ears slipped down, and she stretched out her water-stained fingers to pull it back, her actions unchanged.

"Ahhh~"

Lea waved her little arm in her arms with an excited smile on her face, she was very interested in the cartoon world composed of beautiful colors on TV, even if she couldn't understand it, she was very happy to watch.

Mia, who was washing the dishes, heard the movement and looked back in Leah's direction, and smiled when she saw her daughter so happy, and said to John: "Don't look at it for too long, she's too young now." ”

"Oh." John was startled by Mia's turn just now, and almost reflexively pulled out a stiff smile, but fortunately he controlled it, and casually picked up the remote control and turned off the TV, and stood up with the child in his arms: "Our little Leah wants to take a bath with the duckling~" said step by step in the direction of the stairs.

Mia watched as John's back disappeared around the corner of the stairs with a blank expression, the water spurting from the faucet rattling, and she turned her head to look at the window facing her, where her shadow could be faintly seen through the glass.

The woman standing by the sink looked straight at the face reflected in the glass, and after a while, she began to hum a song again. An eerie tone echoed in the kitchen on the first floor.

……

"I'm so worried."

On the bed in the hotel, Lisa leaned against the head of the bed and looked at Jamie who came out of the bathroom. The phone stayed in the chat interface, and after returning from dinner, she tried to send a message to Mia, but the words typed out were deleted one by one because of the concerns in her heart. Shortly after deleting it, I retyped it again, and in the end it was not sent.

Jamie threw the towel in his hand onto the chair, walked over to Lisa, kissed her and comforted her, "I know, as long as it's past tonight, we'll go back early tomorrow and wait for the exorcist." ”

"I treated her as a friend, but I hid myself when she was in danger." Lisa turned her head as she spoke, feeling sad and guilty.

Think of Winnie, who, when they were approached by Mary Shaw, followed them back to the town of Ravensfield, and dared to enter the theater the next day after almost being attacked by a ghost. Compared to the neighbor girl, Lisa felt that she was too timid and cowardly.

Jamie frowned and said disapprovingly, "Why do you think so?" Mia is your friend, yes, but you're still a mother, and it's your responsibility to protect him. And what's the use of you staying there in this situation? Both Warrens nearly died. ”

Lisa knows that Jamie is right, but she is still sad, perhaps because the pregnancy relationship has made her sentimental.

"If it were Winnie today, I would definitely stay there." Lisa looked at Jamie and reassured.

Jamie couldn't help but laugh a little: "Of course, we'll all stay there." ”

Winnie, who lives next door, is messaging a classmate

As a beautiful and wealthy female college student who lives alone, it is impossible not to arouse her alarm when she finds a suspicious vehicle around her home.

Calling the police directly seems to be "making a big fuss", after all, she doesn't have definite evidence to prove that the other party is following her, so she can only ask for help from the people around her, such as her classmates.

Leonard Gaskell was Winnie's classmate, an outgoing and cheerful boy. My hobby is photography, and I can't walk when I see a good camera, and I play very well on the computer. Winnie had heard a few words from time to time, and she didn't know much about computer accessories, but she still thought it was quite powerful when she listened to their discussion.

Winnie sent a picture of the white car she had taken to Leonard Gaskell, and he had more friends to ask if he was from the school. If so, that guy's perverted behavior has already made him die at school, and the follow-up behavior is not yet restrained, and even more excessive, Winnie will not be relentless.

While doing so might make the police suspect herself, Winnie has the perfect alibi, and for now, it's important to keep him from following her and not blocking her.

Leonard Gaskell on the other end of the network immediately agreed, and was shocked that Winnie was being followed. Judging from the crime data in the United States in recent years, if you find yourself being followed, it is best not to take chances, no one knows whether you will become a criminal resume of a perverted murderer.

[Leave it to me, but I think you should call the police directly, it's too dangerous.] —Gaskell

[I'm not sure if I'm overthinking it, maybe it's a coincidence?] And the police are not necessarily useful, not everything will be accepted by the police. —Winnie

It is also a fact that ordinary people's good feelings towards the police often end at the moment when they call the police. It's people, not professions, who are noble, and Winnie is very distrustful of the police in the United States. She remembers a news report she had read before, in which family members called the police to ask their loved ones to commit suicide, only to have the police come and shoot the person who was about to commit suicide.

She still can't forget the shock she felt when she saw the news. And there are really too many crimes in this world, so much so that Winnie suspects that there is no evidence of tracking the incident that the police do not

Time is important. From time to time, a perverted murderer pops up, how can he have time to care about petty theft.

[Okay, you stay safe, call the police or call me immediately if anything.] —Gaskell

[Thank you!] —Winnie

Compared to the peace in the hotel, Gordon's home is a different style of thriller.

After Leah took a shower and went to sleep, Mia and John returned to their bedroom. Mia went to the shower first, and John was half-lying on the head of the bed watching TV, and shortly after Mia entered the bathroom, he sneaked over and pushed the door open a crack.

With just one glance, John's cold hairs stood on end! He realizes that he can't be caught by Mia sneaking in, but what he sees almost causes him to go into cardiac arrest.

At the moment of seeing the bruised pinch marks on Mia's neck that concealed the foundation concealer, a terrifying speculation emerged, maybe his wife was not only possessed by a demon, it was very likely that she was dead, and the demon was using her body to move!

John used all his control to close the door, his facial muscles stiffening beyond any other expression. He leaned against the wall to the side and breathed silently, the world in front of him seemed to be shaking and circling.

Thoughts are chaotic, just a picture at once

In front of his eyes, he wondered when Mia had an accident. Thinking that he had made two calls last night and no one answered, Mia explained that she was in the basement sorting out the dolls at the time and couldn't get them, and it was probably around that time.

Mia probably had an accident when the Eisens came over last night, and the demon entered her body after Mia's accident, and covered the marks on her neck with foundation, acting as usual in front of him and outsiders.

That is, his wife died last night, and his daughter spent the night with the devil.

My God!

Tears poured out uncontrollably, and John glanced at the bathroom door and bit the knuckles of his fingers as he tried to keep his breath from crying. Thinking of his daughter sleeping in the nursery, John could only cheer up, he had to leave here with his daughter, since the demon had washed off the disguise on his neck, he might have to attack tonight, and without Mia he had no reason to insist on staying here.

Walking quickly to the bedside and picking up his phone, there was no time to pack up other things, John strode out the door and trotted in the direction of the nursery. He didn't know how long it would take for the demon to come out of the bathroom, if he had deliberately exposed the marks on his neck to show him, but he knew very well that there wasn't much time left for him to escape.

Pushing open the door to the nursery, John rushed to the crib and was about to reach out, only to see Annabelle's dirty and ghostly face.

John: "Ho! He gasped in shock, and his face turned white with a swipe on the ground!

A cold air rushed from his back to the top of his head, his scalp suddenly tingled, and John was stunned on the spot. His eyes widened in astonishment, and the undried tears on his face made the man look a little pitiful.

"Boom...... Boom......"

Annabelle's head turned slightly in John's direction, and the sound of wooden joints turning sounded extremely strange at this point.

He took a sharp step back and shouted his daughter's name like crazy: "Leah! "At this time, he can't care about anything!

In a short period of time, he learns that his wife has died, his body has been taken by a demon, and his daughter has been replaced by Annabelle, and John can no longer care about the demon under the double blow.

"Leah!"

"Leah!"

Hurried footsteps rang out in the hallway, and John pushed open door after door looking for his child.

Not long ago, he bathed Leah and watched her fall asleep with Mia. After returning to the room, Mia went to take a shower, and he saw the scene, Leah should still be at home in such a short time, and the demon should not have a chance to do it.

But perhaps...... What did he see today, the daughter he had been holding, actually Annabelle?

This terrible and crazy speculation crashed uncontrollably into his mind and gave the man a heavy blow to his heart.

John stumbled and almost fell, the suppressed cry in his throat squeezed out little by little, and he felt like his world was going to collapse.

It was at this time that the baby's cry sounded in the house. At first, it was very faint, and John thought that he was having auditory hallucinations, so he covered his mouth and listened carefully.

"Leah?" John followed the sound as he looked at the door leading to the basement.

The closer the door got, the child's cry became clearer, and as the door opened, John was already sure that Leah was below. He reached out and flipped the switch on the wall, but the light inside didn't move, and it was still dark.

John took out his phone and pulled out his flashlight to shine it downward, and the first thing he saw was a cracked incandescent light bulb.

As soon as the man stepped down the next step, there was a sudden force on his back, and the whole person rolled down the stairs.

Behind him, Mia, wrapped in a bathrobe, withdrew her hand expressionlessly, and a bruised pinch mark was on her neck.

Meanwhile, on a dark road, Sam, with bloodshot eyes, drives the car with a blank face, while his brother Dean is lying next to him and sleeping.

He glanced at the time on his watch, and when it was time for the shift change, he would stop on time to wake Dean up!
