"Detective, can't you open the door? I'll open the door. George! George! What are you doing? For the sake of your loving father, open the door quickly."
Mrs. Freeman tried to find the key to the room, but there was only a click as Shade had already opened the door.
The ignorant little girl followed Mrs. Freeman, Priest August and Shade into the boy's bedroom.
The room was not large. The thirteen-year-old yellow-haired boy was lying on his side on the bed, with his back to the door. Even the sound of a stranger breaking into the room did not make him move.
Shade hurriedly walked over, but the spell [False Immortality] was ineffective on him, and the boy was not seriously injured. Priest Augustus also stepped forward and turned the boy over beside the bed, only to find that he was just asleep.
"Child, wake up, wake up quickly!"
The priest shouted in a somewhat urgent voice, and even lightly slapped the boy's face a few times before the boy woke up.
He just opened his eyes with an extremely frightened look, not even surprised that a stranger entered his room:
"There's something in the house! Mom, I want Mom!"
He was shouting incoherently, no matter how much the priest tried to comfort him, it was of no use. It was easy to tell from his words that the boy had just had a strange dream, to the point where he could not distinguish between dream and reality after waking up.
"Here I am! Oh, my poor little George! What's the matter with you?"
The middle-aged woman also walked into the room holding her little daughter's hand. Priest Augustus continued to comfort the boy and wanted him to tell him what happened in his dream. Shade walked back to the bedroom door and looked at the empty living room outside.
The cozy home seems a little scary.
"Do you really feel nothing?"
[The whisper element is very slight, so slight that even ordinary people will not be affected as long as they do not insist on living here for a year. The element appears after you use a spell to open the door. ]
She answered softly in his ear, and the whispering sound always made Shade want to turn his head to see if there was someone lying behind him.
"The emergence of the whisper element means that this time it is indeed a relic, but the question is where the relic is..."
The boy gradually calmed down under the comfort of his mother and the old priest, but he could not give detailed information about what happened in the dream. After he woke up, he almost completely forgot the content of the dream, only vaguely remembering what happened at home.
He met a strange bandaged man, and the strange man tried to kill him.
"Have you seen the oil painting missing here? This is a relic of your couple."
Seeing that he couldn't get much out of the question, Priest August took the picture folder from Mrs. Freeman and opened the blank page for the boy to identify. But the boy shook his head in confusion, indicating that he had not touched his father.
's relics.
"Brother, we went looking for toys together the day we first moved here. Didn't you look through this?"
The girl who was being held by Mrs. Freeman suddenly said that the girl was only about five or six years old, her eyes were very bright, and she had a whisper when she spoke. She looked at her brother curiously, but the boy with yellow hair shook his head in confusion.
Shaking his head:
"Is there such a thing?"
When talking to his sister, his tone is no longer so fragile.
"Yes, I remember you pulled out a painting, and then... what happened?"
The little girl tilted her head and thought for a long time without giving an answer.
"My child, where would you hide your favorite treasure?"
Priest Augustus asked again, and his kind expression made some boys who were unwilling to answer subconsciously look away. However, seeing his mother and sister looking at him with concern, he gritted his teeth and said:
"There is a big cardboard box under the bed."
"Priest, I'm coming."
Shade came over and reached out to pull out the cardboard box from under the boy's bed. After opening it, the five of them saw the rolled-up oil painting at a glance.
After touching it, Shade immediately confirmed that this was a relic. When he unfolded the oil painting, no creases could be seen on it, and the oil painting was exactly as Mrs. Freeman said. The background was the curtains fluttering in the sun.
Above is the desktop and the clutter on it.
"Look at this!"
Priest Augustus squinted his eyes and spoke in a very scary tone. He pointed at the wooden three-story building model placed on the table in the center of the oil painting.
This is the kind of high-end toy that is scaled down to the size of a real building.
The side facing outside the painting is the cross-section of the house. You can see the exquisite movable furniture, decorations and puppets inside the model. At this time, on the second floor of the house model in the oil painting, there are actually two puppets, one large and one small.
, Moreover, the layout of the model building looks like this three-story rental apartment. The location and layout of the room where the two puppets, one large and one small, are located, are also very similar to the room where everyone is.
Looking at the two exquisite puppets in the oil painting, Shade showed a puzzled expression, and then suddenly his eyes widened:
"Priest, look at the two puppets in the oil painting, do they look like me and this boy?"
"Looks like! It does look like a brother!"
The little girl was the first to raise her hand and said.
Priest August also stretched his head forward:
"If you don't tell me, I haven't noticed yet. It really looks like...wait, what is this?"
Due to the perspective of the oil painting, they could only see part of the interior of the model. In the model in the oil painting, there seemed to be something lying behind the door panel outside the door of the room where the two puppets were. But the artist did not focus on that part of the painting.
There is a small area, so only a pair of eyes can be vaguely seen.
Shade and Priest Augustus simultaneously turned to look outside the real door, but the real door was completely open and there was nothing outside.
"Oh, look! The painting has changed!"
Mrs. Freeman suddenly said in a high voice, Shade looked at the painting in his hand again, and sure enough, a tall puppet wrapped in bandages unexpectedly came from outside the model room door to the inside of the room.
None of the five people saw this process.
And the puppets of Shade and the boy combined are not as tall as the puppets wearing bandages and holding knives.
Under the gaze of five pairs of eyes, the puppet with a bandage and a black hat actually moved in the picture. This terrifying scene made the girl scream, and the boy George was so frightened that he trembled and grabbed his mother beside him.
Don't let go of your arms.
The bandaged puppet approached the other two puppets in the oil painting model, then raised the knife and stabbed them. The two puppets, one big and one small, also moved to dodge, and the little puppet couldn't dodge and was almost killed.
He was stabbed, and the larger doll rushed to help him, but unfortunately he was stabbed in the shoulder.
"oh!"
Shade screamed, then quickly covered his arm. He took off his coat with difficulty with the other hand. The white shirt on his left shoulder was stained red. Although the injury was not as exaggerated as the puppet in the painting, he was really injured.
:
"I'm fine."
There was no time for treatment, and his eyes were fixed on the oil painting in his hand. At the cost of being stabbed, the two dolls, one large and one small, were still unable to escape from the state of being attacked. Because they were just moving around in a room of the model.
I didn’t want to transfer to other places through that door:
"Quick, let's go to other rooms."
Priest August saw the clues and hurriedly helped Shade out. Mrs. Freeman was also worried and followed behind with her two children. The group went from the boy's room to the living room, and then left the second floor.
, ran along the stairs to the first floor.
During this period, Shade turned his back to the Freeman family and used "full food" to treat the inexplicable wounds on his body. In the oil painting in his hand, the two little puppets finally appeared when the real people left the room.
He escaped from the room and, like them, moved to the stairs of the model house in the oil painting.
The puppet with a bandage, a black hat and a sharp knife moves very fast when it is in the same room as the little puppet, but when it is not in the same room, it moves very slowly. As long as the two little puppets do not go upstairs, they will temporarily
There will be no danger.
"Get out of the house!"
Shade said, and he and the priest hurried to the foyer on the first floor. At first, they thought they would not be able to get out at all, but unexpectedly the door was opened normally, and outside the door was the street scene of Tobesk on Thursday afternoon.
The priest and Shade walked out at the same time, but the painting held by Shade suddenly disappeared from his hand the moment he left the house, and fell to the floor in front of the door.
Then Mrs. Freeman and the children came out of the house smoothly, and when Shade looked at the oil painting inside the door again, he actually saw the puppets representing him and the boy, moving toward the door of the model house again.
Walk around the interior of a model house.
"Mrs. Freeman, have you ever touched this painting?"
Shade suddenly asked the middle-aged woman on the side, who was holding her children's hands and standing at the door at a loss:
"It should have been touched when we moved...but I was wearing gloves at the time! Yes, I will wear gloves when I pack these paintings!"
This somewhat opinionated woman suddenly understood what Sha De meant at this moment.
"Only those who touch the oil painting directly with their hands will have their corresponding puppets appear in the painting. This thing should not be strong, otherwise it will not allow only one person to come into contact with it at a time in the form of fuzzy memory."
Priest August concluded, and Shade saw that the two little puppets in the oil painting had the idea of going upstairs, and immediately walked into the door again. The puppet that belonged to him turned around and went down the stairs, and met the real Shade.
They were all standing in the foyer.
"Child, you come in too."
Priest Augustus said to the boy, but the boy pulled his mother with a look of horror on his face.
The middle-aged woman, who was obviously also afraid, looked down at her children, gritted her teeth, and actually let go of her daughter's hand, and took the boy back to the house. When she entered the door, she was also trembling.
But I still remember saying to the old man outside the door:
"Priest, please take care of little Leah for me first."
"No problem, but Mrs. Freeman, the danger is not over yet."
