Chapter 488 The Ghost Baby Army
Ravenstown, USA.
The sky was hazy, the air was humid, and it was raining lightly. The whole world seemed to be shrouded in a gray-blue filter. It was still a second-hand dilapidated Ford car, driving on the road. A man and a woman sit in the front row, and a man and a woman sit in the back row: a male doll and a female puppet.
"Chiliu..."
The wet tarmac caused the tires to slip a bit. The car turned quickly and turned around the highway exit, heading towards the country road, and soon disappeared into the dark dense forest.
Ravenstown is a desolate town with a sparse population. In the past, some wealthy families and some old-school white people settled here. It was also very prosperous for a time. Many wealthy people in the United States like to live in the countryside - they can escape the criminal elements and homeless people of certain ethnic groups that are ubiquitous in the city.
It's almost deserted now.
There are only a few households.
Because there once was a tragedy here:
Legend has it that in 1940, a child was killed in the town of Ravens, and the villagers suspected that the murderer was Mary Shaw, a local woman who made a living by performing puppet ventriloquism. Because the boy had interrupted Mary Shaw's performance to reveal the secret before he disappeared, the performance almost couldn't be completed. The town residents searched for the boy for a long time but could not find it, and finally captured Mary Shaw and cut out her tongue.
Mary Shaw committed suicide soon after losing her tongue. She was a middle-aged woman living alone with no family. She left a will asking people to bury her along with her puppets, which they did. However, from then on, the missing puppets would always appear in the town from time to time. Every time they appeared, someone would be killed, and the dead people would have their tongues cut out inexplicably. So rumors began to spread in the town:
When you meet Mary Shaw's puppet Billy...
Never scream.
"Mary Shaw is different from Anna Bell. Anna Bell is a demon, she is purely malicious, she enjoys torturing humans, and her killings do not require a reason. Mary Shaw is a wraith, and her killings are mainly Targeting the townspeople who killed her and their descendants, but if someone comes to the gun, she won't mind killing them."
Zhang Yuning introduced.
"But fortunately, the time and place information is clearly given in the movie "Dead Silence", so we can find this place without careful reasoning. The disadvantage is that if we can find it, others can also find it. So if some blind people wait, Come and interfere, you two are responsible for solving it."
Zhang Yuning made some arrangements for the division of labor.
Zhang Yuning is responsible for dealing with Mary Xiao.
Others are responsible for dealing with the reincarnators.
"OK."
"OK."
Ron and Upton agreed wholeheartedly. The two of them have become accustomed to it. When Qingshan is here, he listens to Qingshan, and when Qingshan is away, he listens to Zhang. Anyway, neither of them are good at making plans, so they just follow the orders.
Although "Dead Silence" is also a work directed by James Wan, "Dead Silence" does not belong to the Conjuring universe, so it can only become a small replica world in the world of reincarnation, which is not enough to constitute a complete world of reincarnation.
The old car drove smoothly along the forest road.
"Zhang, can you give Mary Xiao to me too?"
Upton asked curiously.
"Don't you have Anna Bell?"
Zhang Yuning glanced through the rearview mirror.
Anna Bell sat in her seat quietly and lifelessly, with the weird smile on her face.
"Wife is not too much."
Upton said carelessly.
After speaking, he hugged Anna Bell next to him. The scene is like a child playing house with a doll.
"Humph, that's what men are like."
Zhang Yuning snorted and looked away.
"It's different. I'm just a plastic doll. Plastic dolls don't understand anything. What evil intentions can a plastic doll have?"
The ghost child defended shamelessly.
"Anna Bell is a demon. She can appear through the image of Anna Bell during her lifetime, but you have to think carefully. Mary Xiao was a white-haired middle-aged woman in her lifetime, quite old. Are you sure you like this one? ?”
Zhang Yuning asked lazily, looking ahead.
"Oh, I'll have to think about that."
Guiwa immediately hesitated.
"Humph, you men are indeed like this."
Zhang Yuning let out a disdainful snort again.
While driving, Ron turned his head and glanced at Zhang Yuning, feeling that she seemed to have a sense of resentment. The two of them haven't seen each other for a long time since Qingshan was busy conquering and expanding in his anchor world. It's normal for Zhang to have a little emotion - just don't vent it on me!
Ron thought to himself.
Be careful not to offend Zhang with your words during this period.
It's scary for a woman to be angry.
Especially the opponent is the Queen of Wraiths.
…
At this time, at the entrance of an abandoned theater in Ravens Town, several players had arrived here early and were making preparations. Anyone who has watched the movie will know that this abandoned theater was the theater where Mary Shaw performed her puppet show, and Mary Shaw's resentful spirit is hidden in this theater.
"Remember, keep the following two points in mind, and we will be able to pass through this dungeon world safely!"
A Samsara, who was obviously the leader, was seriously emphasizing to his teammates:
"First of all, when you see any supernatural phenomenon, you must not open your mouth to scream - or even speak! Once the mouth is opened, Mary Xiao will immediately grab your tongue and pull it out together with the pharyngeal wall behind the tongue base. This ability is very fast It’s almost a rule and you don’t even have time to shut up.”
The young man took out a roll of yellow tape:
"We all sealed our mouths with tape. After entering the theater, we must not speak. We used sign language to communicate. The male protagonist in the movie relied on covering his mouth until he was killed in the end. Don't be too nervous, Mary. Xiao is not invincible, as long as we burn all her puppets, she will be killed, or if we bury all her puppets in a grave, she can also be sealed."
The young man raised the flamethrower in his hand.
"I haven't mastered sign language yet. Can I express my meaning with a nasal hum, like um um um?"
A tall man looked at the yellow tape in his hand and said with embarrassment that he had not learned sign language yet.
"no."
The young man shook his head decisively:
"This is the second point I want to make. Mary Xiao can make a space completely silent and all sounds disappear. If we encounter that situation, nasal humming is useless and we must use sign language to communicate. Be careful with those puppets , they are afraid of fire, we can just burn them all."
"Look, someone is coming."
At this time, a woman pointed to the intersection and said.
A dilapidated Ford car drove over.
The car staggered to a stop at the entrance of the theater. The door opened and a man and a woman stepped out, a thin young man with freckles and a beautiful black-haired woman. They turned to look at the people next to them and walked straight to the theater without saying anything.
"Hey, this is our first..."
The tall man stood up and tried to stop him.
The thin and freckled young man turned his head, and his face was suddenly covered with a layer of dark blue gel, turning into a huge head with sharp teeth, a bloody mouth and white hook-shaped markings. The head roared low and furious at the tall man who stood up. One sound:
"Get away!"
Then he immediately shrank back.
"ah……"
Everyone was shocked.
The tall man was so frightened that he took three steps back.
"Is that... venom?"
a woman asked in a low voice.
"It's a symbiote."
The young man quickly stepped forward to stop his companion:
"Leave them alone, just let them in."
The young man looked at the backs of the two people and said meaningfully:
"These two people are so arrogant. They don't understand the plot setting at all. Even if there is a symbiote, they still can't defeat Mary Xiao. As long as he dares to speak, even if it's a symbiote, Mary Xiao can pull out his tongue. !Hmph, just wait and see, we will go in after they are dead."
Surprisingly, the young man with the symbiote did not walk into the theater. Instead, he walked to the theater door, turned around and stood with his hands crossed, his back to the theater, facing everyone, and firmly guarding the theater door, like a bodyguard. The beautiful and indifferent black-haired woman walked straight into the abandoned theater covered with cobwebs, dusty, and full of collapsed tables and chairs with no expression on her face, and her back quickly disappeared into the dark gloom.
After a while, there was a burst of howling and screaming in the theater. The violent movement caused the entire wooden building to tremble, dust fell, and wooden boards fell scattered.
Everyone couldn't help but turn their heads to look at the leading young man, their eyes seeming to ask: Where is the promised death? Why is there such a loud noise? Wouldn't the entire space be completely quiet?
The young man was speechless for a moment.
Then the woman came out.
Everyone was stunned for a moment.
The woman's appearance is still cold and beautiful. There is not even a trace of dust or cobwebs on the black clothes, and she is still as neat as new. The expression on her face does not fluctuate at all, as if she just went to have an afternoon tea, and the whole person is like a cold, cold flower. Swinging and elegant black poppies.
With everyone watching, the woman walked down the steps towards the old Ford car. The freckled young man quickly followed her like a pug. He also helped the woman open the passenger door and then got into the driver's seat.
Then, something even more shocking happened.
Everyone watched dumbfounded as a string of little people walked out of the abandoned theater. They were all large and small puppets. These puppets were exquisitely made and had strange expressions. They were men, women, old and young, tall, short, fat and thin. They lined up in a row and marched neatly, like boy scouts. Outing, one after another jumped into the trunk.
One hundred and one puppets filled the trunk, filled the back seats, hung from the rearview mirrors, door handles and roof racks, and were finally packed away. The dilapidated car turned around and sped away, raising smoke and dust behind it, leaving behind a group of reincarnations eating ashes in the smoke and dust.
…
Everything after that was lackluster. The club has become very skilled in executing this plan. Previously, Fu Qinghai helped Zhang Yuning hold the battle. After Zhang Yuning became stronger, he was replaced by the symbiote host Ron and the ghost baby killer Upton.
In fact, Zhang Yuning can handle Mary Xiao by herself. She brought the other two people just in case, to prevent other players from intervening and causing trouble - after all, different players have different interests and demands, and there are too many uncertainties.
Fortunately, there were no accidents this time.
Zhang Yuning is familiar with the plot of the movie: the stepmother of the hero in "Dead Silence" is actually a "chaos believer" who secretly serves Mary Xiao. Because she could not bear the domestic violence of the hero's father, she secretly dug up the puppets in the grave, causing Mary Xiao's ghost To bring trouble to the world again, the male protagonist's biological father has long been made into a flesh and blood puppet, and has been secretly controlled by the male protagonist's stepmother.
If you know these plots in advance and there are no idle people waiting to cause trouble, this dungeon world will become very simple.
Mary Xiao was eventually sealed in Zhang Yuning's body.
At this point, the number of demons and ghosts in her body has officially reached eight, barely maintaining a delicate and fragile balance. In addition to possession control, creating illusions, invisible walking through walls...these are the basic general abilities of ghosts, each of the eight ghosts also has different special skills. Among them, Mary Shaw's special ability is that she can cause complete silence in a space, which is the origin of the title "Dead Silence". At the same time, Mary Shaw can also control puppets, and unlike the ghost dolls Chucky and Anna... Bell only possesses a doll, while Mary Shaw owns a hundred and one puppets, a total puppet army.
Mary Xiao is both an earthbound spirit and not an earthbound spirit. She also needs to rely on a haunted house to exert her power, but at the same time, she can also possess her own puppet and kill people everywhere. Wherever her puppet goes, her power can also extend. .
Zhang Yuning sat quietly in the passenger seat.
Look ahead.
The eight major ghosts have gathered.
Then what happens next...
Zhang Yuning took out a slender steel needle from her arms and kept playing with it while her thoughts gradually drifted away.
Are you going to watch the "Dead Man" series?
Or the "Return of the Clown" series?
It depends on that hateful man.
"snort."
Zhang Yuning snorted again inexplicably.
Ron glanced cautiously sideways.
I noticed that the woman was smiling.
A beautiful lady with a dead mother's face who has always had a slumped or expressionless face suddenly smiled, even if it was just a shallow smile, it could make people feel ecstatic and addicted.
