Early in the morning, Caroline first got up to check the attic. She walked up the ladder, took out the master key, and opened the door of the attic. It was just dawn, and the light in the attic was very dim. There were many things piled up on both sides. Most of them were all kinds of puppets. There were hideous statues, human figures covered in white cloth, scarecrows made of grass, and sewn puppets.
All kinds of puppets were piled up on both sides, their expressions ferocious and weird.
However, these creepy puppets seemed to give 'Caroline' peace of mind. She smiled as she walked past the puppets. The shelf opposite her that was holding the junk had fallen down! There was a door behind the shelf. The door was ajar, and the shelf that was leaning against the door had been pushed down as if something had pushed the door. The force of the shaking was very strong, and the area in front of the door was a mess.
A wax figure stood in front of the door. Her neck was twisted in a strange way.
The wax was covered with a layer of dust, making it look less lifelike. Otherwise, it would be too scary! Some of the wax figure had melted. She should have been posing like a dancer, but now she looked like a dead person who had been hanged by something. Her limbs were tightly attached to her body, and they were twisted as if they were fractured. Her expression was very scary.
Like the other weird puppets, this wax figure was very vivid and had a strange life force.
When Caroline saw the wax figure, she suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. She went to straighten the shelf and leaned the wax figure against the door. She whispered, "Thank God we have you … otherwise, they wouldn't be able to come out! Otherwise, I really don't know what to do … I dreamed of them again. They were looking for me. In the dream, they found us! They are approaching us!
"They are getting closer and closer! If they find us … we are dead! No … death is much better than this. "
Caroline said something, and as if she had regained her courage, she stood up. "Someone is watching us! Two hotheads came. They should be from the FBI. "She sneered." But they don't know what they are facing! "
With trembling hands, Carolyn took out a white candle from the cabinet next to her. She lit the candle and let the wax drip on the wax figure. She dipped her hand in the wax oil and softly muttered in Benin's native language as she smeared the wax oil on the figure. She twitched and rolled her eyes from time to time.
His hands were shaking like a Parkinson's patient!
After completing the series of rituals, Caroline's face was pale as if her blood had been drawn. She was covered in sweat and looked even older!
With her back hunched, 'Caroline' slowly turned around and prepared to leave the attic.
The wax figure behind her opened its eyes strangely and stared at her back with extreme resentment. Caroline seemed to have sensed something and quickly turned around, but the scene just now was like an illusion. The wax figure's eyes were still closed, and the wax was still intact. It still looked like a girl who was struggling to get entangled by something and was on the verge of death.
Afraid, Caroline backed away, turned quickly, and stumbled down the stairs.
Lawyer Luke was scraping the grease off the carpet with a knife. When he saw Caroline running down, he called to her, "Slow down! What's the rush?"
"The attic won't be able to stop them for much longer!" Caroline said. "They're even stronger here. We have to get out of here and wait for them to weaken. Only then will we have a chance to deal with them! "
Luke suddenly raised his head and asked, "Is there any grease in the attic?"
Caroline suddenly said, "There's no grease in the attic! Then where did they come from? "
The two ran anxiously, following the traces of grease. When they passed by Chen Ang's room, they found that there was more yellow and white grease at the door of his room than in the other rooms. "It seems that they've been discovered!" Caroline showed a mysterious smile and said, "I hope they weren't frightened last night!"
When they passed by Chen Ang's room, the door suddenly opened. Chen Ang stood at the door with a pale face, looking at the two. When he looked down and saw the grease on the carpet, his face suddenly twisted, and his face became even paler.
"Yesterday …"
Chen Ang hesitated. "Last night seemed to be a bit lively …" He stared at the carpet as if he wanted to see through it, and asked in a weak voice, "Do you have a cat?"
Caroline replied excitedly, "No, I don't like that thing. I'm allergic to animal hair! "
"It doesn't seem normal for a witch to not like cats!"
Nick's door also suddenly opened. He stood at the door, his black eyes shining, staring at Caroline and Luke as if they were suspects. Nick glanced at Chen Ang from the corner of his eye. Seeing his embarrassed appearance, he cursed in his heart, "Drama queen!"
Nick said frankly, "Something was scratching at our door last night!"
Caroline deliberately hid her hands behind her back. She noticed that Chen Ang was secretly staring at her fingernails. She laughed in her heart, but her face showed a somewhat inscrutable expression. She said, "Maybe it was a mouse! Without a cat, it's inevitable that some small animals will breed in such a big house. "
But Nick pressed, "A mouse can't climb that high. It can't climb from the bottom of the door to the handle. It can't even open its eyes and look inside! Also … this room is indeed very old and very big, but I noticed that there are no annoying rodents, not even bugs. "
"I've heard that some wizards like to use sulfur to perform their witchcraft. When they're too poisoned, they'll be covered in the sulfur smell. Even bugs won't come close to them!"
Caroline saw the grease at the door and became impatient again. "Old houses are like this. There are all kinds of strange problems. Now I'm going to clean my carpet! Breakfast is in an hour, downstairs in the dining room! "
She heard her husband Luke roar in the bathroom and immediately rushed over. As soon as she entered the bathroom, she saw another reflection of herself on the wall. It was a dark-skinned, sharp-eyed woman who looked very capable — a black woman. Beside the black woman was also a black man in an old waiter and servant's tuxedo.
Caroline's body went cold. She screamed, "Mirror!"
"Why is there a mirror!" Caroline went up and smashed the mirror. She hurriedly pulled a carpet from the side and wrapped the broken pieces of the mirror in it. She rolled it into a ball and gave it to her husband.
Then she quickly walked to Chen Ang's room and asked them, "Mirror … Did you bring the mirror in the bathroom?"
Chen Ang looked up in surprise. "What mirror?"
Caroline stared at him as if she wanted to gouge out his flesh. "Don't let me find out who did this!"
"In this house, no, no mirrors are allowed!"
She was almost hysterical as she roared like a crazy woman.
Nick asked, "Why can't there be a mirror … Did someone do anything in front of a mirror? Or did the mirror let you see your ugly face and see the truth? "
He leaned forward and whispered, "What are you afraid of?"
