Chapter 501

The mechanical dolls are becoming more and more aggressive, and even the night shift security guards on duty have been scared away countless times.

In order to have someone to look after the store at night, a large number of temporary workers had to be recruited, which led to the later training tapes.

In the "Bite Incident of 87", "Chuck and Stanley Family Restaurant" closed down again.

But in the final analysis, this is also a scene that Stanley is happy to see.

In fact, he has always only cared about the upgrading and evolution of the mechanical dolls, trying to find the secrets about the soul and immortality.

As for the restaurant, it was really just Chuck's wish.

If it weren't for this apparent partner who insisted on opening it, Stanley would definitely not have any motivation to build a restaurant.

The collapse of "Chuck and Stanley Family Restaurant" became inevitable under this circumstance.

After the "Bite of 87" incident, more people began to pay attention to these mechanical dolls and the various cases behind them.

Chuck, who lost the restaurant, finally chose to cut off from Stanley and no longer cooperate.

The dolls who lost control in the restaurant gradually began to unite their thoughts and hunted down Stanley, the culprit.

The police attention, Chuck's departure, and the pursuit of the dolls.

Three troubles, each more annoying than the last.

If it were an ordinary person, he would have been overwhelmed by this pressure and would collapse.

But that Stanley is obviously not a mortal.

After a brief thought, he decided to create an incident and solve these three troubles in one go.

With this purpose in mind, in 1993, "Chuck's Haunted House" officially opened its doors.

Gao Yi had long wondered why anyone would want to open a haunted house based on a restaurant.

Looking at it now, it was entirely Stanley's conspiracy.

He needed a dark, closed environment to implement the plan, and he also needed a convincing enough reason for Chuck to come to this restaurant again to face those mechanical dolls.

There is no need to elaborate on what happened after that.

Stanley first put on the doll costume, dismantled the first few dolls, and then replaced the knocked-out Chuck, forcing him into the golden rabbit doll.

The resentment and souls who fell into madness also witnessed carefully planned deaths.

Chuck was crushed to death by the doll suit, which also created the "Spring Trap".

After that, Stanley burned down the entire haunted house and faked his death.

All subsequent actions were carried out in the name of Chuck, and the name "Stanley" gradually disappeared from everyone's sight.

This is why in "Second Night", when Gao Yi called "Chuck" in the newspaper, Stanley answered the phone.

It was he who dealt with that piece of land and the remaining mechanical dolls above, and continued his research...

And in 2023, the reason why those mechanical dolls are still full of resentment and refuse to leave is obvious.

Because the people they killed in 1993 were never their real enemies.

That Stanley has always survived, has been living in this world, and continues to carry out his experiments.

But his name has long since disappeared into the dust of history, becoming a small footnote to "Chuck's Pizza Restaurant".

Stanley never cares about these false names. As a true "villain", he has a greater goal.

He wants to hide in the shadows and complete his plan...

At a certain intersection in "Chuck Family Restaurant", Gao Yi stopped again.

The shoddy Xunlong Ruler in his hand obviously lacked polish, and the bearing pointer above made an annoying metallic friction sound.

Its front end was slightly raised and it swayed left and right a few times, as if it was also thinking about its specific direction.

After several seconds, he nodded sharply and turned to the right.

"Isn't that 'copy source material' useful to you?"

Looking at the rather anthropomorphic Xunlong Ruler in his hand, Gao Yi twitched the corners of his mouth twice and walked towards the west of the restaurant under his leadership.

After all, the Xunlong Ruler blessed by the [Occultist] must have some guiding abilities.

The directional item that Gao Yi had just burned to it came from the "Flying Crow Message" at Guan Shi, and belonged to Stanley's pieces of underwear.

As a fabric that is closely connected to the human body, it will naturally be connected to the corresponding target.

Yes, when Seki left the restaurant in "Fourth Night", his destination was the Stanley's home in 1972.

If Gao Yi's reasoning is correct, Stanley, who has committed the first case at this point in time, will definitely leave some evidence in his home.

As for him, he is most likely already hiding in some place, preparing to start contact with Chuck after the incident subsides.

A search at the time confirmed this. Stanley's home contained many drawings and photos of mechanical dolls, as well as newspaper clippings about "Chuck Family Restaurant."

And the final answer to the "motive" in the whole reasoning was finally found in Stanley's home.

According to medical records, Stanley, who was only 24 years old at the time, was already suffering from brain cancer.

This disease, which is hardly considered a difficult disease today, was a completely terminal disease in the 1870s.

Maybe this is the so-called "fate" or "karma", but in any case, Stanley is not a person who leaves his fate to fate.

Perhaps it was just a chance encounter in a local newspaper, or a glimpse in despair.

But in the end, the "road to nowhere" did not appear, and Stanley found his own "way out".

Although, this came at the cost of countless lives...

With the guidance of the dowsing rod, Gao Yi has circled several times in "Chuck's Family Restaurant".

To be honest, he was a little skeptical about whether the thing in his hand was reliable.

After all, it was just a handmade product made from local materials. Didn't it restore the essence?

Or, the dowsing rod didn't understand what he was looking for?

Gao Yi used Stanley's clothing fragments as materials, naturally to find him himself.

But please note that he was not looking for Stanley who had just committed five child murders in 1972.

At this point in time, Stanley was just an ordinary murderer, and had not really started to study the substance that could give life to dead things.

Finding him now would not help solve the entire copy.

What Gao Yi wants to find is the culprit who hides outside the timeline and causes the entire copy to gradually move closer to the past.

Stanley from the future must be hiding somewhere. If nothing unexpected happens, the dowsing rod should be able to find him.

And no accident happened.

Just as Gao Yi was thinking seriously about whether to take out the [Run Group Dice], the dowsing rod finally stabilized its direction.

The end is right in front of him.

Taking a half step back, Gao Yi raised the dowsing rod in his hand and temporarily gave it the function of a hammer.

As a wall was damaged, an illusory pixel-style entrance behind it suddenly appeared in front of him.

Yes, this is the place to solve this [Toy War] copy.
