Two weeks ago.

West Virginia.

Teribu Diocese.

Caroline drove from New York to this desolate place with newspapers circled with job advertisements.

Some people recruit nursing staff here, and the weekly salary is quite high. Otherwise, no one would come to such a famous ghost place.

The employer is obviously a wealthy man and lives in a well-known manor that covers an active and extensive land.

As soon as I drove over from the main road, I saw a street sign on it: Daiwo Manor, private territory, and no entry was allowed.

A small path leads directly to the manor, with tall ancient trees on both sides, which is very old.

It is said that there should be dedicated personnel to manage such places, but what Caroline saw was abandoned.

The large iron door outside the manor was half open, and the branches and leaves next to it reached the middle of the door, and the car could touch it when entering. In addition, the weather was a bit gloomy when Caroline arrived, and it was really gloomy and terrifying with this desolate and deserted scene.

However, Caroline was mentally prepared for this. After looking at the manor, she went straight to knock on the door.

There was no response.

Caroline glanced at the rocking chair that was still shaking in the corridor outside the door, pushed the door, and found that the door was not locked, so she pushed the door open and walked in.

The room was a little dark, and there was a statue of the Virgin at the door. In this atmosphere, there was no sense of holiness at all, but it added to the feeling of gloomy and weirdness.

The murals on both sides of the living room are also religious themes.

Caroline tied her hair into a ponytail and continued walking inside while shouting.

When I arrived at the back garden, I saw an old couple.

The fat wife is cutting her husband in a wheelchair.

“This is the manifestation of true love.”

At this time, a gentle middle-aged man in a middle-aged suit came from behind with a box of things in his arms and smiled and said, "Just like the classic reappearance in a storybook, you must be Caroline, right?"

"Sorry, the door is not locked, I came in."

Caroline looked at each other with the man in the suit and apologized.

"It doesn't matter."

The man in the suit smiled and said, "This house is big, it's normal not to hear it. My name is Luke Kollerman, real estate lawyer. We've talked on the phone."

"Oh, yes."

Caroline suddenly realized.

While the two were chatting, the fat woman kept peeping secretly, her eyes full of scrutiny and indifference.

"The doctor said he was only one month old and was almost out of reach."

Real estate lawyer Luke looked at the old man in the wheelchair and explained.

"I know."

Caroline nodded.

This information has been mentioned on the phone before.

"Vierli, she's here."

Luke sang to the fat woman.

"This is Caroline Ellis, who worked as a care worker at NYU Medical Center. Caroline, this is Weirly Devo."

Luke introduced the two.

"Your home is so beautiful."

Caroline praised.

The fat woman's eyes flashed and she looked at Luke, then ignored Caroline's greeting and walked straight into the room.

"Sorry, she is in a bad mood, and she is a traditional person and thinks women should wear a little implicitly."

Luke explained.

Caroline, wearing a suspender, smiled and looked at the old man in a wheelchair: "So, he can't speak at all?"

"No, because I'm numb all over my body after a stroke."

Luke shook his head.

At this moment, the fat woman came over again and muttered, "She came from another place. She must not understand the rules here, and what's going on with her accent?"

Luke reached out and hugged the fat woman, comforting her, "I know you wish she had a southern accent, but she could no longer find anyone else."

The fat woman looked at Luke, saw him winking at her, and glanced at Caroline from top to bottom, nodded helplessly: "Okay, but she will definitely not understand the rules here."

"Can't find a nurse, ha?"

Caroline expressed her dissatisfaction and was about to leave.

But after Luke's refusal to stay, he decided to stay and give it a try.

The fat woman hid by the window of the room throughout the whole time, peeking at everything, and seeing Caroline being persuaded by Luke, she showed a cold smile.

This is the fifth female nurse to apply for a job. She is not satisfied with the other four. Caroline is not satisfied with it. She wants a black pearl more, but time no longer allows it.

Moreover, Luke seemed to like this caregiver very much. Thinking of this, the fat woman glared at Luke's back.

Finally, Caroline chose to accept it, moved in, and obtained a master key.

This kind of manor has many rooms, and a series of keys are required, but as the owner, he has a master key that can unlock all door locks.

The fat woman turned against her previous rejection and unexpectedly gave Caroline this key.

Caroline took the key and began to take care of the male owner Ben Daiwo who suffered a stroke, who was paralyzed, but she discovered many abnormalities.

For example, Ben, who was paralyzed, looked at her with fear and expectation, as if he was asking her for help or warning.

The fat woman looked at her like she was looking at an item, and asked her very rudely if she had a tattoo on her body.

Caroline directly fired back, saying that outsiders couldn't see it.

The fat woman shook her head and left, obviously a little dissatisfied but helpless.

When I was taking a shower at night, I felt someone peeping.

There are so many rooms in such a large manor, but there is no mirror. The place where the mirror should have been hung is only traces of the past, and it is obviously taken away by others.

Afterwards, the fat woman first reminded her not to walk around. Some rooms contained many precious antiques, and then asked her to help pick up things intentionally or unintentionally.

As an American, my curiosity about mystery is engraved in my bones.

The fat woman's words of hiding her head and showing her tail completely mobilized Caroline's curiosity, secretly took the master key, opened one room after another, and saw many dusty mysterious and strange things.

Caroline, deeply shocked, threatened to leave, and let the fat woman tell the story of this manor.

It turned out that there were two black wizard slaves in this manor. They were a couple, but they dared to teach the owner of the manor's witchcraft, and were finally hung up by the owner and burned to death on the big tree at the entrance of the manor.

But legend has it that their ghosts have never left, and her husband may have suffered a stroke and paralysis because he ran into their ghosts.

In the attic, those mysterious and horrifying things that seem to be evil rituals were left by the black wizard couple.

Caroline originally didn't believe it, but under the step-by-step guidance of the fat woman, she subconsciously went to a store that specialized in selling these mysterious items and bought some protective items.

She suspected that the evil was not the ghost, but the fat woman herself.

On a night of lightning and thunder, Caroline, who noticed danger, took Ben to escape, but was chased by the fat woman. In panic, she had to temporarily give up Ben and escape and ask lawyer Luke for help.

Then she found that Luke was learning the basic real estate law, which reminded her of the fat woman's story of possession of ghosts and taking over the body. She was knocked out by Luke and brought back to the manor when she was about to escape.
