The Whispering Verses Chapter 349: Oil paintings and bandage puppets
"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 and Shade had already opened the door.
Asking the ignorant little girl to follow Mrs. Freeman, Priest August and Shade broke into the boy's bedroom.
The room was not large. The thirteen-year-old boy with yellow hair was lying on his side on the bed, with his back to the door. Not even the sound of a stranger breaking into the room made 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 expression of extreme horror, not even surprised that a stranger entered his room:
"There is something in the house! Mom, I want mom!"
He shouted incoherently, no matter how the priest tried to comfort him, it was of no use. It is not difficult to tell from the words that the boy had just had a strange dream, so that after waking up, he could not distinguish between dream and reality.
"Here I am! Oh, my poor little George! What's wrong 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 house outside. living room.
The warm home seems a little scary.
"Can you really feel nothing?"
[A very slight whisper element, very slight, 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. He only vaguely remembered that a strange bandaged man appeared in his home, and that 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 find much out of the question, Priest August took the picture folder from Mrs. Freeman again 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 moved here. Didn't you look through this?"
The girl who was being held by Mrs. Freeman suddenly said that she was only about five or six years old, with bright eyes, and she would also bite the last part of her voice when she spoke. She looked at her brother curiously, but the yellow-haired boy shook his head in confusion:
"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.
"Child, where would you hide your favorite treasure?"
Priest Augustus asked again. 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 spoke out. :
"There is a big cardboard box under the bed."
"Priest, I'm coming."
Shad came over, reached out and pulled out the cardboard box from under the boy's bed. After opening it, the five people saw the rolled-up oil painting at a glance.
After touching it, Shade immediately confirmed that it was a relic. When the oil painting was unfolded, 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, and the painting was the tabletop and the debris on the tabletop.
"Look at this!"
Priest Augustus narrowed his eyes and his tone was very scary. He pointed to the wooden three-story building model placed on the table in the center of the painting.
This is a high-end toy that is scaled down to a real building.
Towards the outside of the screen is a cross-section of the house, where 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 were actually two puppets, one large and one small. Moreover, the layout of the model building looked like this three-story rental apartment, with one large and one small. The location and layout of the room where the two puppets 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 painting, do they look like me and this boy?"
"Looks like! He does look like a brother!"
The little girl was the first to raise her hand and said.
Priest Augustus also stretched his head forward:
"If you didn't say it, I wouldn't have noticed it. 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 seems to be something lying behind the door panel outside the door of the room where the two puppets are. However, the artist did not focus on that area, so only a pair of eyes can be vaguely seen.
Shad 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. 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 puppet with a bandage and a knife.
Under the gaze of five pairs of eyes, the puppet wrapped in bandages and wearing a black hat actually moved in the picture. This horrific scene made the girl scream, and the boy George was so frightened that he trembled and grabbed the mother's arm beside him and wouldn't let go.
The bandaged puppet approached the other two puppets in the oil painting model, then raised the knife and stabbed them. The two dolls, one big and one small, also moved to avoid it. The little doll couldn't dodge and almost got stabbed. The bigger doll hurriedly went to help him, but unfortunately he was stabbed in the shoulder.
"Oh!"
Xia De yelled, then quickly covered his arm. He took off his coat with difficulty with his 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. After paying the price of being stabbed, the two dolls, one large and one small, still could not escape the state of being attacked. Because they were just moving around in one room of the model and didn’t want to move 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 with her two children. The group went from the boy's room to the living room, then left the second floor and 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 escaped from the room when the real people left 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 with the little puppet, but when it is not in the same room, it moves very slowly. As long as the two little puppets are not in the same room, Floor, there is no danger for the time being.
"Get out of this house!"
Xia De said, walking quickly to the foyer on the first floor with the priest. At first, they thought they would not be able to get out, but unexpectedly the door was opened normally, and outside the door was the Tobesk street scene on Thursday afternoon.
The priest and Shade walked out at the same time, but the painting that Shade held in his hand suddenly disappeared from his hand the moment he left the house, and fell to the floor in front of the door.
Later, Mrs. Freeman and the children also 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, from the model house. The door leads back to the interior of the model house.
"Mrs. Freeman, have you ever touched this painting?"
Xia De suddenly asked the middle-aged woman on the side, who was holding her children's hands and standing at the door at a loss:
"They should have been touched when moving...but I was wearing gloves! Yes, I will wear gloves when I pack these paintings!"
This somewhat opinionated woman suddenly understood what Xade meant at this moment.
"Only those who touch the oil painting directly with their hands will have their corresponding puppets appear in the picture. This thing should not be strong, otherwise it would not allow only one person to come into contact with it at a time in the form of vague memory. ”
Priest August concluded, and when Shade saw that the two little puppets in the oil painting had the idea of going upstairs, he immediately walked into the door again. The puppet that belonged to him turned around and went down the stairs, standing in the hall with the real Shad.
"Child, you come in too."
Priest Augustus said to the boy, but the boy pulled his mother with a look of horror.
The middle-aged woman, who was obviously also afraid, looked down at her children, gritted her teeth, 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 she still remembered saying to the old man outside the door:
"Priest, help me take care of little Leah first."
"No problem, but Mrs. Freeman, the danger is not over yet."
