I’m A Detective In The American Movie World

Chapter 77: The truth back then

Views:

One hundred and forty years ago, the small town of Fallanvins.

"Mrs. Mary Shaw, your performance just now was very good." A middle-aged man was very courteous to the beautiful woman in front of him, "I don't know if I have time in a while. I want to buy you a drink."

The beautiful woman who looked exactly like Ella smiled awkwardly and said, "Mayor Edward, I'm sorry, I already have an appointment tonight."

A hint of gloom flashed in the middle-aged man's eyes: "Really? That's really unlucky."

On the opposite side of the lake, in a very inconspicuous dilapidated wooden house. Mary Xiao looked at the young man in front of her lovingly. From Mary Xiao's perspective, the man was personable and handsome.

But once you look at it from the other side, you will find that this man has a large scar on his face, and it seems that he has suffered a serious injury.

"Jerrod, it's safe here. We don't have to worry about going to the battlefield anymore. Don't you like wax statues? You can rest assured to study and make wax statues here."

Mary Xiao laughed in a low voice, but the young man named Jerrod didn't seem to hear it. He took a pen and drew on the paper crazily: "This is the town I designed, Ambrose, everything." It’s made of wax, yes, it was designed by me.”

Although Jerod ignored her, Mary Xiao still had a happy smile on her face.

Until the wooden door was kicked open.

The middle-aged man named De Hua walked in drunkenly from outside: "Bichi, you dare to reject me just because of this ugly monster?"

Seeing the man approaching step by step, Mary Xiao backed away in horror: "Please, Mayor Edward Jerrod, save me."

During the struggle, the woman grabbed the pistol from Edward's waist and forced Edward to retreat. Looking at the black muzzle of the gun in front of him, Edward sneered disdainfully: "Do you dare to shoot? Mary Xiao, don't forget, it was me who allowed you to stay in this town. Without me, you and this fool would never even think of staying. Here, I can only leave here like a dog and return to the war-torn battlefield."

He suddenly grabbed Jerrod's neck and said with a ferocious smile: "Look at this loser, imagine what he would be like if he left the town."

"Mary, dear Mary, it's not easy to have a stable life these days, let alone a happy love. You have to pay a price."

Looking at the middle-aged man's devilish smile, the woman's hands trembled violently. After a while, the pistol fell to the ground limply.

The man smiled triumphantly, strode forward, picked up the woman and threw her on the bed.

Amid the screams, Jerod kept standing there, muttering "Ambrose" in his mouth, but his eyes were flashing with an unknown light.

On the dock, Mary Xiao, who was already gray-haired, was wearing a long black dress and was tied tightly to an erected cross. In front of her were countless angry town residents armed with various weapons.

Edward, who had a big belly and also had white hair, walked out of the crowd shakily on crutches and said through gritted teeth: "Mary Xiao, Mary Xiao, our town was kind enough to take you two in. I didn't expect you to repay us like this." Small town.”

"If it weren't for Jerrod's report, we would never have thought that you were the one behind the kidnapping of children for so many years."

While they were talking, an old man who looked like a farmer was pushed out from the crowd, holding a puppet in his hand and standing tremblingly next to Edward.

"Don't be afraid, Jerrod. Although you are Mary Shaw's husband, we will not hurt you because you reported meritoriously. But"

Edward took a lit torch and handed it to Jerod: "In order for your wife to pay for the sins she has committed, you need to light this fire yourself."

"Ambrose Ambrose"

Jerrod just repeated that one word.

Edward couldn't help but forced the torch into Gerold's hand, then grabbed his hand, and threw the torch and the puppet together under the cross.

The cross, which had already been filled with flammable materials, immediately burst into flames.

The scorching heat forced everyone to retreat one after another. Soon the fire dragon boiled, and the sea of fire rose into the sky. However, Mary Xiao, who had not spoken since then, quietly spoke in the sea of fire:

“Beware of the stares from Mary Shaw;

She has no children, only dolls;

If you see her, don't scream;

Otherwise she will open your mouth and rip out your tongue.”

The weird singing voice is like a nightmare hovering around everyone's ears. Looking at the blazing flames, no one dared to speak for a while.

At this moment, Gerald, who had been crazy all this time, suddenly screamed in horror: "I was wrong, Mary, I was wrong, I'm coming right now, let's go to Ambrose together."

Screaming, he rushed toward the burning cross.

No one dared to stop him, they could only watch as Jerrod rushed into the sea of fire, holding the cross and falling into the lake.

From then on, neither Jerrod nor Mary Shaw was seen alive or dead.

Only that terrifying nursery rhyme has been passed down from generation to generation in the small town of Farravens.

The car roared out of the path, passed through the grass, and crashed heavily into the lake. Soon the cold lake water poured in from the dropped car window.

Xie Lun turned to look at John and the other three who looked livid, and said solemnly: "Believe me, if you want to go back, this is the only way to go."

The three of them, John, clung to the armrest, and no one could speak. Instead, Jamie, who had fainted beside him, woke up faintly at some point. He reluctantly looked at Xie Lun and smiled bitterly: "From birth to death, to death and rebirth."

Soon, the lake water completely submerged the two cars, and the bubbles rolled. It didn't take long for everyone except Xie Lun to hold their breath. He breathed involuntarily through his mouth and nose, and instantly inhaled the cold lake water.

Seeing the others holding their own throats and struggling desperately, but in the process of struggling, they gradually disappeared one by one. Xie Lun felt relieved. It seemed that the path he had found was indeed the right one.

But with his super endurance, he can hold his breath for much longer than ordinary people. It had been five or six minutes since he had been in the water, and he still didn't feel panicked. In desperation, Xie Lun had no choice but to open his mouth and let the lake water flow into his nose.

But Sherron soon discovered that this didn't work either. Although the water from the lake poured into his throat, which made him feel very uncomfortable, and his lungs felt very painful, there was no feeling of death.

Having a high constitution and a long health bar is not a good thing at certain times.

Xie Lun's eyes suddenly opened wide, and he was keenly aware that something had changed in the lake around him.

To put it simply, it’s water mixed with oil. Gradually, there was more and more oil, and finally it poured into Xie Lun's mouth along the lake water.

"Damn damn"

Xie Lun felt as if his throat was blocked by something sticky. Even if he wanted to shut up, he couldn't close it and could only struggle feebly.

"The rat that ruined my good deeds, I caught you."

A stuttering, but eerie voice sounded next to Sherron's ears.

"No"

In Sherron's increasingly blurry vision, a white-haired old woman wearing a long black dress suddenly appeared. Her ferocious and terrifying face had a very calm look on it.

Then just like in the museum, she reached out her hand
