Caroline was lying on the bed, but she didn't close her eyes. She kept them open, looking at the ceiling above her. Luke was lying next to her, and they were listening to the sounds upstairs.
There was a doll at the door of their room.
It was a dancing wax doll!
On the cabinet next to the door, there was a paper doll. It was a man and a woman with a paper horse, which had a traditional Chinese style. There was a Teru doll hanging on the door frame, and a Japanese-style geisha doll was placed in the corner. So many dolls with different cultural elements in a foreign style house formed a strange, incongruous style.
All the mannequins were facing the door, as if they were guarding against something trying to break in.
At this time, there was a knock on the door, and Chen Ang's voice came from outside. "Are you asleep? If you are, you should be awake now! I found something interesting upstairs, and I think I have to show it to you! "
Luke sat up. "Why is he knocking at this time?"
Caroline was also surprised. She shouted through the door, "It's too late to think about it! Mr. Detective … if there's anything, let's talk tomorrow! "
The voice at the door replied, "You'd better open the door. I don't think it can wait until tomorrow."
"What can't wait until tomorrow?" Caroline demanded. "Don't disturb us anymore!"
Chen Ang's voice was still calm. "Because I can't be sure if you can live until tomorrow … Cercy!" This name caused Carolyn to jump up in shock. She turned her head to the side to listen to the sounds coming from outside the door. However, ever since Chen Ang had said those words, he had remained silent. The entire place was silent.
Luke stopped Caroline from getting out of bed. "No matter what happens, we can't go out."
"This house is the safest place. We've opened the 'door', and now this house is filled with those things. No matter what sounds come from outside, we can't go out … We don't know if the person outside the door is still himself, or if he's a human, or what he is. No matter what he says … Cercy. We have to stay calm! "
"It's just a devil's trap!"
"It's very late!" Luke said calmly, "Sir … go to sleep!"
At this time, Nick's voice came from outside the door. He said, "We have a lot of people here who want to see you, Mr. Justine. They want to see their Justine father and Cercy mother! Ask them some questions … "The latter half of the voice turned into a child's voice.
A boy said with a clear voice, "We regard you as our parents. Why do you want to take away our bodies?"
"We used to respect you so much, Mother Cercy! No matter what our father did wrong? We have never humiliated or harmed you … but you have chosen to harm us! You made our father burn his child to death with his own hands, and you even used our bodies to carry out the filthy acts of chaos! "
"You purposely let them see all of this and drove our mother crazy. My father guessed the truth and was forced to commit suicide by you!"
"I …" Carolyn, or rather, Cercy could not help but make a sound.
But before she could say a word, Justine, who was carrying Luke's body, covered her mouth. He whispered in her ear, "Don't respond. No matter what you say, it will only make them angry!"
A girl's high-pitched scream came from the other side of the door. In the room where Justine was, the light bulbs and glass were shattered! It was a very resentful, high-pitched, and ferocious scream from a little girl, echoing in the dark night …
But this soul-stealing scream was weakened after passing through the door, which was guarded by the puppets.
Cercy threw herself into Justine's arms in fear. Justine had to hug her and comfort her, "It's okay! Darling … they can't come in, they can't come in … Tomorrow, we can hold the ceremony. Then we can leave this place! They can't catch us! "
"If they are alive, we can get what we want, but if they are dead! We are not afraid! "
"Ever since the 'door' was opened, they have refused to let us go! Justine, it's useless. We can't destroy them. They will pester us endlessly! "The witch, Cercy, said," Unless we close the door! But the seal has failed! Are the great wizards in the Voodoo Sect eating sh * t? Why did they lose such an important seal! "
"The voodoo doll is guarding the door, but once the door is opened, it can only be closed if it wants to close it!"
"Justine …" Cercy said in fear, "Let's go grab that voodoo doll! The doll left by Queen Lavieu, the first voodoo doll, it should have the ability to guard the door! "
Chen Ang's voice sounded again — "Justine, Cercy! You used to be the owners of this house, the black servants hired by the bankers. You should be from Haiti, right? Many black people in Louisiana came from Haiti, and some of them were proficient in witchcraft. You were loyal to Queen Lavieu of the Voodoo Sect. "
"It's normal for the bankers to abuse you. Many rich white people in that era were like this. They treated their servants badly, so you decided to show them a little. It just so happened that although you were young, you had enough of that body! It was too difficult for black people in that era. But it was very easy for you, so you decided to use the Soul Snatching Witchcraft to seize the bodies of their children so that you could inherit that large amount of wealth. "
"And the bodies you prepared — they trusted you, didn't they?"
"Then you succeeded, and you also got rid of that annoying banker. You occupied this house, like a poisonous spider on a spider's web, luring one prey after another into your net!"
"But Justine, it has been a long time. Things will always go wrong! "
"A few weeks ago, the 'door' was opened! The door guarded by the Voodoo Sect was opened. Some things can come out from behind the door to find you! Those souls who have passed away, those who are unwilling, those who are resentful, those who hate! "
"Justine and Cercy, you can rest assured that we didn't find you for those trivial hatred and stories of your past. We only care about — how the door was opened. And about the secret behind the door! "
Cercy said in horror, "Who are you?"
Her mind flashed back to the scenes one after another. Chen Ang appeared in the study and chatted with them. Chen Ang's background and story automatically appeared in their minds, but they never saw how Chen Ang walked through the door. It was as if he had directly appeared in the study.
That night, when she opened the door for another man, the black man, he seemed to have come from afar.
But there was no moisture on his bald head … His feet were muddy, and he was wearing a trench coat that seemed to be from the last century. This guy said that he was a bailiff and claimed that he was the FBI, and she actually believed him!
"Who we are is not important!" Chen Ang said slowly, "What's important is the secret behind the 'door'!"
"Don't think that this room will always be safe …" Chen Ang said mysteriously, "In fact, you are trapping yourself in a death trap!"
Cercy sat up in shock. She came to the door and listened suspiciously to the sound behind the door, but there was not even the sound of breathing behind the door. Instead, Luke, who was lying on the bed, heard the sound of breathing beside his ears. He slowly turned around and saw Chen Ang sitting next to his head, but he couldn't even move.
Chen Ang dragged out another Luke from under the bed and placed him next to him. Then, he shoved him under the bed.
Lawyer Luke lay under the bed, eyes open, staring at the headboard.
There was a mirror that was half the height of a person stuck there, and in the mirror, there were several pairs of eyes staring at him. He also saw the young Caroline smiling at him, face to face. Caroline's mouth and eyes were sealed with stitches. She opened her eyes and looked at Justine through the stitches between her eyelids.
After nervously checking the door, Cercy returned to the bed and lay next to the 'Luke'.
This time, it was the real Lawyer Luke!
Justine, on the other hand, was lying under the bed, listening to his wife lying next to something he did not know. He saw Chen Ang climb into the mirror, and the Caroline in the mirror climbed out to lie next to him.
Now, there was a Caroline and Luke on the bed, and a Caroline and Luke under the bed.
