22: "Enter the new world."

As Er Er's childish voice slowly disappeared, Nan Qing fell into darkness.

Every time I change the world, I will face this kind of experience, and so far Nanqing has not adapted to it.

…

In a foggy mountain forest, there is a huge wooden house at the foot of a small slope.

A man in a black robe came back from outside, with an air of coldness and death all over his body.

Pushing the door and entering the wooden house, there was the sound of jingling bells, and the windowsills of the house were filled with dolls with missing arms and legs.

Each doll is missing a body part, either hands or feet, or a piece of its head is missing, or its eyeballs hang on its face, or its entire face is covered in scars.

There was still dried red liquid in the missing area. I knew it might be red paint, but I always thought it was blood.

The man took off his robe. He was wearing a black Western European medieval-style shirt, with rubies on the buttons on the collar and lace on the sleeves.

With broad shoulders and a narrow waist, the man raised his head. He had long hair and three-dimensional and soft facial features, but his eyes were as calm and terrifying as those of a dead person.

Parosay hung up his robe, got up, walked into the house, and opened the basement door.

In the dark, gloomy and cold basement, Palosi went down with an orange oil lamp. The weak light illuminated the entire basement in a blur.

There are many arms and severed limbs hanging on the walls, which look like they were chopped off from real people. Any coward who enters this place will be frightened to death.

Parosai's face was expressionless, with his long black hair hanging loose. The warm light of the oil lamp shone on his face, which gave him a slight sense of blood.

As he walked closer, Parosai's eyes gradually became focused, and his eyes showed joy.

His arm raised the oil lamp, and there was a 'person' hanging on the empty table in the basement.

To be precise, it is a doll, the kind where all the joints in the body can move, fully human-like proportions, naked, pale, delicate and beautiful blond doll.

"My most satisfying work, Lilith, you will wake up soon."

Parosay reached out and touched her face, touching every inch of her body.

This is the most satisfying work he has ever created.

…

At the exit of Country D International Airport, a tall white man stood at the exit holding a Chinese sign. He kept looking at the passers-by.

Many people came out, and Peter's eyes were always looking for the guests he wanted to pick up.

Suddenly he saw three young people, both in number and gender.

Two men and one woman walked out pushing their luggage. One man and one woman were still laughing and joking, while the other tall boy followed quietly.

Peter immediately shook the sign in his hand: "Here! Hello? Hello?"

His Chinese language has a strong accent.

A tall and quiet boy wearing a black jacket, he heard the sound here first and looked up.

Peter quickly waved the sign in his hand.

Three Chinese names were clearly written on the sign: Cheng Leyao, Xu Mingrui and Jiang Yu.

Jiang Yu reminded the two young lovers beside him: "I saw our tour guide."

Cheng Leyao held the hand of her boyfriend Xu Mingrui. The two were sweet. They were planning to take a photo at the exit. When they heard Jiang Yu's words, Xu Mingrui immediately asked: "Where? Where is it? Why didn't I see it?"

"

Cheng Leyao smiled and patted Xu Mingrui's head: "Look, that man, our tour guide is so young and quite handsome."

Xu Mingrui: "Am I as handsome as I am?"

"No, no, you are the most handsome." Cheng Leyao also kissed Xu Mingrui on the face.

A trace of disgust flashed in Jiang Xian's eyes, and he walked towards Peter alone.

"Hello."

Peter immediately greeted happily: "Hello, hello, my name is Peter, and I am your tour guide. Are you three this and this?"

He asked, pointing to the three names on the sign.

Jiang Xie: "Yeah."

Jiang Yu was wearing a black jacket and a mask on her face. She obviously didn't talk much and didn't seem to be an easy person to get along with.

The couple at that time came all the way and greeted each other very warmly.

"Tour guide, you look so young. Have you ever led a team?"

Peter was a little embarrassed and said: "I have taken many Chinese tourists, but this is my first time going to the Island of the Dolls. However, I have been there with other guides before, and it is basically no problem. If you mind, I can help you find other guides."

A familiar guide, but I’m afraid it’s not easy to find…”

Jiang Xuan frowned: "You haven't brought any guests there before?"

Peter: "No, I'm just an ordinary tour guide. I already said that in the email, didn't you see?"

Jiang Xuan looked at Xu Mingrui and Cheng Leyao.

Cheng Leyao pouted and said nothing, hiding behind her boyfriend.

Xu Mingrui said embarrassedly: "I saw it, but it's okay. He is also from D country, the same."

It is difficult to find a new guide now, and they plan to go to the Island of the Dolls tonight.

Peter: "Now that we are all here, should we eat first or set off? First of all, let me say that Doll Island is really remote. It takes more than ten hours to drive there. I suggest you have a good meal before leaving."

Although Peter spoke with a strong accent, he had taken Chinese tourists before, so he had no problem communicating, and the three of them could understand him.

Cheng Leyao: "Let's eat first. I'm almost hungry. The food on the long-distance flight is really terrible. Hey, it would be better if I could stay one night before going. I'm so tired now."

Jiang Wei: "Our plan is to go to the Island of the Dolls tonight."

Cheng Leyao: "But we are traveling, so we just want to relax."

Xu Mingrui: "Okay, okay, let's go eat first. I heard that the D-country style barbecue is very delicious. Eat until you are full before setting off. Yaoyao, I will take pictures for you later."

"Okay." Cheng Leyao was immediately coaxed.

Peter took the three of them to a famous local barbecue restaurant, had a meal, and then went to the car rental company to pick up the car and set off.

Peter is both a guide and a driver. He has been introducing the customs and customs of country D to the three people.

Peter also started talking about the destination they wanted to go to.

"Do you really want to go? That place is very weird and many tourists would not want to go there. Why would you want to go?"

Cheng Leyao: "Because of curiosity, of course I want to go to the top ten most terrifying places in the world."

Jiang Xuan sat in the passenger seat with her arms folded and said nothing.

From the time they set out, the weather suddenly turned gloomy. The entire journey was covered with dark clouds, and it felt like there would be strong winds and heavy rain at any time.

Peter: "Then let me introduce you to the Island of the Dolls. Maybe you have heard about it before."

"Well, you say."

Peter: "The Island of the Dolls was just an ordinary island at first, but a girl drowned in the river. The farmer by the river saw her, but he couldn't save her. The farmer could hear the girl's cry every night.

Even residents on other small islands can hear that the farmer is fishing in the river and often catches dolls. He thinks this is what the little girl is hinting at."

"The farmers placed dolls all over the river, and the residents on the island also hung dolls on the trees by the river, in this way to pay homage to the soul of the little girl who comforted her."

"It has been more than seventy years since this incident happened. The residents on the island have either moved away or died. Now it is an empty island."

"But there are many people who go there. There is a rule when you go there, which is to buy a doll and hang it on the tree. If you don't buy it, the little girl will be angry. She will follow you back and lie on your belly in the middle of the night.

Ask for the doll."

Peter's voice became deeper and slower.

The atmosphere in the car gradually became uncomfortable.

Obviously this was something they had known about for a long time, but now when they heard Peter say it, they all felt a little weird and a little scary.

Cheng Leyao hugged Xu Mingrui: "I'm a little scared..."

Xu Mingrui smiled brightly: "It's okay, it's all rumors. Rumors just get more and more mysterious as they spread. Don't be afraid, it's okay."

Peter also laughed instantly: "It didn't scare you. There are different opinions on the Internet from all over the world. In fact, many people visit the Island of the Dolls every year. I also visited the Island of the Dolls when I was a child. In fact, it is not as scary as the legend says.

"

Jiang Qi suddenly said: "I heard that many people commit suicide there, and dead embryos from abortions are buried there. Many children go missing in country D every year, and the police have found the remains of many missing children there."

Peter's expression changed: "This... there is such a thing, but it is also exaggerated."

Cheng Leyao: "Can I stop and take pictures? I want to take pictures of the street sign in front."

Peter immediately smiled and said: "No problem, I also brought a drone. I can help you take pictures if you need it."

Peter pulled over and the three of them got out. Only Jiang Yu sat in the car.
