Chapter 511 Who Should I Trust?
"Are all the deaths related to him?" Gao Ming thought of the stories told by the owner of the house: "What did that guy do to you?"
"He was hiding in a puppet at first. It was this puppet made by his mother." The girl's expression was very painful: "I found him when my brother was in a coma, but he acted very pitiful and funny, as if he was lost. I became friends with him. When I went to bed at night, I would put him next to my pillow. I would sing to him, play games with him, and play with him. But I didn’t expect that he was so inhumane and bad to the core. !”
The girl could no longer shed tears, and her pale face cracked open, with shallow blood stains appearing: "He took advantage of me to take over my body after I fell asleep at night, making me sleepwalk at night and do some terrible things. When it was almost dawn, I went back to the room and pretended that nothing happened. "
"All kinds of strange things happen in the manor in the middle of the night. Raw meat goes missing, goldfish kept in the house are killed, the kitchen flue is blocked by foreign objects, and the heater in the guest room suddenly goes out in the middle of the night."
"He was very careful when manipulating my body, but he was still caught a week later."
"There are actually not many tourists in the resort in winter. There happened to be a group of mountaineering and skiing enthusiasts staying overnight that day. One of them went to the kitchen in the middle of the night to find hot water for noodles and saw me coming out of the cellar with a knife."
"I was woken up by the screams of tourists and I had no idea why I left the warmth of my bed and was standing in the kitchen with a knife."
"My parents and tourists all came over. They looked at me with strange eyes. I can't forget it to this day." The little girl's voice was heartbreaking.
"After my family apologized to the tourists, they locked me up. Instead of blaming me, they scolded my brother."
"From that day on, my brother always looked at me with guilt, and my father and mother became haggard. They often came to chat with me, and they would ask me the same questions many times. At first, I didn't understand why, but later I thought It’s clear whether they want to identify me or not me.”
"As time went by and the amount of time I stayed awake decreased, I knew it was all the fault of that dirty guy in the ragdoll. I questioned him loudly, but he never spoke to me again."
"I'm scared. I know that evil thing must be planning something."
"I told my family everything, from when the doll started talking to when it disappeared inexplicably, my father and mother seemed to have figured out the pattern. They found a way to deal with it from my grandfather's relics."
"It seems like that thing can only control my body when I'm asleep, and they're going to seal him back into the rag doll."
"One night a week later, my parents and brother held a ceremony somewhere on the fourth floor of the manor. They gave me sleeping pills in advance and everything was ready. But when the ceremony started at midnight, I was suddenly pricked with needles. I woke up from the severe pain and my consciousness took over my body.”
"My limbs were tied to the bed. I struggled and yelled, crying and calling for my parents, but everyone seemed to think I was acting."
"The ceremony didn't end. I saw the outline of a door appearing on a wall. Those weird patterns seemed to crawl onto my body. As the family members dripped blood on the door, strange sounds came from inside the red-stained door. There was a divine sound. Dad threw fresh living things into it, and my consciousness was guided by the patterns, as if it was about to leave my body. "
"No matter how much I shouted, it was useless. I watched helplessly as I was being sent into the rag doll's body."
"The tearful rag doll looked at my body, but I was smiling when I was lying on the bed. The thing that ran out from behind the door has been waiting for this day. Everything he did was to switch bodies with me."
"From the very beginning of contacting me, gaining my trust, imitating my tone and demeanor, to later manipulating my body to actively expose him, all the weaknesses and patterns he showed were deliberately for people to see."
"He had already appeared when I drank the sleeping pills. He actually hid half of the needle under my tongue in order to wake me up when the ceremony was at its most critical."
"When I was locked up, my father and mother often came to talk to me at night, but he was always the one answering at that time. He deliberately imitated me breaking down and shouting, etc. It seemed that he was trying to win over my parents. The purpose of expressing sympathy is actually to allow my parents to be cruel and ensure that the ceremony can go on smoothly when facing the real me begging for mercy.”
Snow and blood mixed together, it was cold and dazzling, and the ground under the girl's feet was dyed a little red.
"After the ceremony, the monster completely took over my body. Hiding in the rag doll, I was torn to pieces by my father and buried in the pine forest, using mountains to suppress my soul."
"Things have just begun here. The monster that replaced me will occasionally come to find me in the pine forest and tell me what happened to my family. He also threatens me to cooperate with him, otherwise he will kill everyone."
"Of course I would not agree. In fact, I had already thought clearly at that time. No matter what choice I made, that monster would attack my family."
"Not long after, my mother went crazy and was locked up on the fourth floor. The group of tourists also had an accident."
"Dad was unwilling to give in. He was usually gentle and vowed to fight those dirty things to the end. He sealed off the fourth floor, took all my grandfather's belongings, and destroyed the door at the cost of everything."
"My brother is the only one left in the manor. My poor brother blames himself for all the faults. He lives in self-blame and guilt every day. His mental state gradually becomes problematic. He begins to hate 'doors' and 'windows'. Every day in the manor, you can hear the sound of hacking doors, and the windows are sealed. I am very worried about him, but I am trapped in the pine forest and have no way to get out."
The girl told Gao Ming a completely different story. Her final description of her brother is basically the same as her brother's illness in reality.
"I seem to have encountered this kind of ghost that can replace living people in my nightmares. Most of them... live in shadows? Shadows? The world behind the door is the shadow world?" Gao Ming shook his head and focused his eyes on the girl: "Where did your brother go in the end? Was he captured by the snowman?"
"I have never seen my brother leave the manor. He should still be inside!" The girl said with certainty.
"Except for those four rooms, we have checked all other rooms in the manor. It seems that your brother should be hidden in a room." Gao Ming was more confident about the plan for tonight. He stared at the little girl and said, "One last question. Can you come into the manor with me?"
