Chapter 507
A dazzling white light exploded in front of his eyes, followed by deep darkness.
Confused thoughts were flying in his mind at the same time, and they were completely unsystematic.
When Stanley struggled and tried to sort out some logic and memories from his brain, he suddenly heard a burst of noise in his ears.
The collision of plates and cups, children's laughter, adults' conversations, and... the sounds of mechanical dolls moving.
His body suddenly stiffened. Stanley, who had been hunted for many years, had already developed a conditioned reflex. He suddenly wanted to stand up and escape from here.
But at this moment, his eyes began to see again.
The slightly worn brown marble dining table stood in front of him, and the red patterned cups and plates and tableware were arranged in an inverted triangle.
The movie poster of "Wonderful Candy House" was posted on the wall. The retro fonts and colors were intertwined with the dim lights in the store, creating an atmosphere that only belonged to the 1970s and 1980s.
An atmosphere where time is not fast and hope still exists.
Stanley naturally knew this place, just like every killer would remember his first mission.
Even though fifty years had passed, he could tell at a glance that this was the "Chuck's Family Restaurant" opened in 1972.
Time reversal was successful!
After a brief confusion, ecstasy followed.
He finally left the damn "safe house", left those deadly mechanical dolls, and finally didn't need to hide anymore.
These non-intelligent dolls in the restaurant in front of him were naturally no threat.
At this time, Chuck was still alive, as long as he was found...
Stanley subconsciously wanted to leave his seat, but suddenly found that his body began to be out of control.
Turning his head in confusion, Stanley finally saw himself clearly through the mirror above the pillar of the restaurant.
"Why is it a child? I... have become a child, and I have become younger again?!"
He was enveloped by a dream-like happiness, so that he didn't even doubt why he had a set of orthotics tied to his legs like the protagonist of "Forrest Gump".
This "exoskeleton" composed of metal brackets is a helper for treating congenital bone marrow diseases, and it is also the reason why Stanley cannot move freely.
But at this moment, he has no time to care about such details, just immersed in the ecstasy of being able to live again.
Looking at everything around him, he couldn't help but laugh again:
"Great... I already have experience. This time I just need more children to make the "wreckage", plus that "thing", I will definitely be able to..."
But just as Stanley was immersed in his vision of the future, his smile stopped abruptly.
The ecstasy just now disappeared in an instant, replaced by fear and confusion.
Following his sight, in the shadow of the corner of the restaurant, in a place that the noisy crowd had not noticed, a yellow rabbit doll was waving at him.
How is it possible?
Stanley, whose eyes were staring with bloodshot eyes, turned his head suddenly to look at the calendar in the restaurant.
Today is... July 22, 1972.
Stanley will never forget this day. This was the first time he committed a crime in his life and caused the death of five children.
But the person inside the yellow bunny doll should be him, right?
As if finding that this level was not enough to attract children, the yellow bunny doll raised its hands again and danced a strange dance quite flexibly.
Stanley used this wearable yellow bunny doll, which was much more flexible than ordinary dolls, to attract children to come closer.
And this time, he only attracted Stanley.
Stanley, who was in chaos and fear, suddenly found that his legs, which had been completely unable to move just now, actually moved by themselves under the control of the orthosis.
His legs began to move uncontrollably, step by step towards the yellow bunny.
"No, don't! Save me, save me quickly!"
Stanley wanted to forcibly dismantle the metal bracket, and wanted to ask for help from the guests and employees around him.
But the guests in "Chuck's Family Restaurant" seemed to be blind to him and enjoyed their pizza and hamburgers.
The orthosis did not stop, but moved forward step by step, and finally brought Stanley to the yellow rabbit doll.
"Hello, little friend, congratulations on finding me. Come with me to the room inside to receive a prize that belongs to you, okay?"
The yellow rabbit, which should not have any facial expression, showed a terrifying smile.
The hoarse voice told the terrifying abduction words.
This is also what Stanley said to the victimized children.
"No, don't! Don't!!"
He roared and tried to resist with both hands.
But how could the power of a child fight against the huge doll made of machinery.
The yellow rabbit grabbed Stanley's wrist and dragged him into the room behind.
At that moment, a thick hemp rope was put around his neck and suddenly exerted force.
Stanley's breathing and his wailing stopped at the same time. The rough touch of the hemp rope made his skin numb, as if thousands of tentacles were gnawing at his neck, eating up the little remaining oxygen.
His eyes gradually lost focus, and everything in front of him became hazy, as if everything was moving away, and as if everything was approaching.
Stanley's body curled up involuntarily, trying to escape from this endless pain.
But obviously, he couldn't do it.
When he was exhausted and finally prepared to accept the arrival of death, the hemp rope suddenly loosened again.
Most of the vitality that had been lost could not be restored in an instant, but it did not decrease anymore.
What happened again?
Feeling the suspended feeling caused by his body being lifted, Stanley suddenly remembered that he did the same thing at that time.
He did not kill all the children directly, but left one of them, let him be locked in a doll costume on the verge of death, and gradually lost blood to death in despair.
Now, is it his turn to experience it himself?
Stanley wanted to do something else, but this body obviously did not give him such a chance.
In the wailing that could not attract anyone's attention, he was locked in a mechanical doll.
Why did this happen? Is he going to die like this? !
Stanley, who had just returned to the past, was obviously unwilling to give up easily.
The desire to survive once again defeated death, and he struggled hard in the dead, dark and oxygen-deficient mechanical doll.
Although he was scratched by springs and metal brackets, the child's body allowed him to successfully change direction.
Unlike those ignorant dead children, he was the one who should live.
Stanley, who had been studying these mechanical dolls for many years, could naturally find a way to leave.
Just remove a few gears and unscrew a few screws.
But it was not easy.
In the darkness, the passage of time seemed to stop.
His fingers were unable to exert force due to oil stains, so he bit them with his teeth. When his right hand had no strength, he took over with his left hand.
After an unknown amount of time, Stanley, who was already soaked in blood and sweat, finally dismantled the baffle at the bottom of the doll.
Under the scraping of gears and rivets, he was once again left with countless wounds.
But in the end, he successfully climbed out.
"Hahahahahahahaha... I won't die, I know I won't die!"
He laughed wildly, as if he was mocking the god of death who had been defeated by him again.
But when he looked around, he was confused and found that this was not the restaurant warehouse he was familiar with.
On the contrary, this was a highway without lighting in the dark night.
A speeding car splashed a burst of mud and water, causing Stanley to dodge backwards.
What the hell is going on?
Stanley turned his head to look at the familiar sound of mechanical dolls moving.
Twenty or thirty meters away, the yellow rabbit doll was standing under the only street lamp, dancing that awkward dance to him.
And in Stanley's desperate wailing, the orthotics on his legs started to turn again.
Once again, he inevitably walked towards the yellow rabbit doll that would inevitably kill him.
