Chapter 85 Doll Army (2-in-1)
Grandma Gu suddenly laughed for no reason.
Her laughing voice was much clearer than his speaking voice, sounding more like a child's laughter. An old lady with a hoarse voice that sounded like the bark of an old tree rubbing against sandpaper suddenly burst out into a child's laughter as clear as a silver bell. This scene was really weird and startled everyone in the room.
Jiang Qi noticed that the largest and most exquisite doll on the cabinet suddenly moved. The whole doll turned away from Granny Gu, as if she was disgusted.
"Why are you laughing?" The short-haired woman wearing smart work clothes among the crowd asked with a bad expression.
"I'm sorry, Miss Zhao, I just suddenly remembered something happy." A smile appeared on Granny Gu's lips, and her crutches tapped heavily on the ground.
"Isn't there an assessment? What about turtle soup and turtle soup? Start quickly." Yu Gui urged dissatisfiedly.
"Let's begin." Grandma Gu looked at everyone, "Today's assessment is very simple. You just need to play turtle soup with me here. If you survive past 12 o'clock and are not scared to leave, you will pass."
"Today is the Ghost Festival, the day when the gates of hell are wide open. Don't blame me for not reminding you, there may be something not very good in this room, and I can't guarantee that there will be something bad in this room in the next few hours. What happened? If you want to leave, you can leave now. If you want to continue, the assessment starts now."
"What the hell are you talking about?" Yu Gui looked like an ancient mother-in-law who was pretending to be a ghost. She didn't believe it at all.
But if you really don't believe it or have some agenda, who would come to this weird place at this time to accept such a bizarre test.
Jiang Qi looked at Yu Gui and felt that he was a bit stern and reserved like this.
"What is turtle soup?" Yu Gui asked next.
Zuo Si couldn't help but rolled her eyes. She had been impatient with this middle-aged man who was impatient and talked too much for a long time.
"Turtle soup is a situational guessing game. The question maker tells a thing. We can keep asking questions, but the question maker can only answer yes or no until we guess the truth of the matter." Zuo Sidao.
"Thank you, Miss Zuo, for explaining it to me." Grandma Gu glanced at Zuo Si, "This is a very interesting intellectual game. I believe you will have a lot of fun tonight."
"Then, I'll ask question 1 first."
"There was a person who had a birthday, and all his friends came to celebrate his birthday. Everyone turned off the lights and lit candles and sang happy birthday. When the candles were blown out and the lights were turned on again, everyone except the birthday party died. Why is this? "
Jiang Qi couldn't help but shudder when he heard it, not because of the topic, but because Granny Gu showed a malicious smile after finishing the topic.
The smile was as if she was looking forward to the fact that once the lights were turned off, she would be the only living person in the room when the lights came on again.
But except for Jiang Qi, a bystander, no one here noticed Granny Gu's weird smile. Everyone was thinking seriously.
"The person celebrating the birthday had a grudge against someone else before?" Zuo Si asked.
"No grudge."
"There is a debt dispute between them. The birthday person owes a lot of money to other people, so he wants to kill them if they don't pay back the money." Zhao Si guessed.
"There is no debt dispute."
"Is it an emotional dispute?" another woman, Zhuang Gui, guessed.
"no."
"Are they friends for many years?" Zuo Si asked next.
"yes."
…
Gradually the other three men began to ask questions.
Some of the questions everyone asked were very reliable, and some were far off topic. Granny Gu patiently answered them all. 10 minutes passed. Not to mention finding the reason, the six of them had not even scratched the surface of the answer and had no clue.
Jiang Qi is not interested in turtle soup. When he was in college, he played with his classmates in the drama club. The questions in Turtle Soup are all kinds of weird, some are reasonable, and most are outrageous. This is a game that cannot be played with normal thinking.
Often the more outrageous the question is, the closer it is to the truth.
Jiang Qi is not very good at playing anyway.
Jiang Qi is still remembering the decorations in the candy store.
It can be seen that the original owner of this candy store was a very girly person and liked dolls very much. There are various supports on the wall, and there are dolls with different sizes, hair colors, skirts, and big eyes placed on the supports.
Short hair, long hair, curly hair, princess cut, ponytail, double ponytail, braid...
The dolls here have all the girls' hairstyles that Jiang Qi can imagine.
Not only do these dolls have exquisite hairstyles, but their dresses are also exquisite. Jiang Qi took a closer look and found that the workmanship of these skirts was very exquisite. The lace patterns and directions on each skirt were different. The only common feature was that they were all beautiful.
If these skirts are enlarged to equal proportions and made into children's clothing or adult princess skirts, they will definitely be very popular.
Jiang Qi doesn't know it, but Wang Erya and Jiang Wanwan must like her very much.
"I know!" Zuo Si suddenly said loudly, startling Zhao Si next to him.
"The birthday person's friends once cheated on him together, right?"
"Yes."
Zuo Si was so excited that he said, "Besides being blind, he also has other disabilities in other parts of his body, right?"
"Yes."
blind?
It turns out that while he was obsessed with studying the dolls and wall decorations, the group had already guessed that the person celebrating the birthday was blind.
Jiang Qi glanced at the clock on the wall and found that it was already 8 o'clock. He had been playing with Turtle Soup for nearly an hour. The level of this group of people was really not good.
Seeing that Zuo Si was close to the truth, Jiang Qi gave Zuo Si his attention.
"That disability on his body was caused by his friends, right?"
"Yes."
Zuo Si stood up directly, "His disabled part is his hand, right? He is missing a hand."
"Yes." Granny Gu nodded with satisfaction.
"I know why!"
"The birthday person and the others were indeed old friends for many years, and they tricked the man into losing his hand because of an accident."
"The situation was that someone had to lose his hand, but they lied to him that everyone would lose their hand. Since this man was blind, he didn't know if others had cut off their hands. In order to save everyone, he cut off his own hand. It was chopped off, and I always thought everyone had their hands chopped off.”
"It wasn't until this birthday when everyone turned off the lights to sing happy birthday to him and applauded to celebrate that he realized that he was the only one who lost his hand, so he killed everyone in a rage!"
Everyone else was stunned.
"Xiao Zuo, you are so good at this!" Zhao Si praised.
"It's roughly like this." Granny Gu nodded, calculating that Zuo Si had answered correctly. "The truth is, these people are all friends who grew up in the same orphanage. Once they met for a mountain climbing adventure, and encountered a mudslide and were trapped on the mountain. In order to survive, When they came down, they decided to cut off each other’s hands and eat each other.”
"The result is clear to everyone. Only the blind man who celebrated his birthday was tricked into having his hand chopped off. The rest was just as Miss Zuo Si said."
Zhao Si took a breath: "This person's friends are too useless. Although they are trying to survive, they bullied him out of sight and tricked him into chopping off his hand. They deserve it!"
"You really deserve it." Granny Gu smiled, "Everyone survived after eating only one person's left hand. This is because everyone secretly hid the food when the hand was cut off, except the blind man. If both the hand and the food were eaten, The rescue team didn’t come either, so the blind man might not have lost a hand.”
Everyone couldn't help but shudder after hearing this.
The blue-skirted doll on Jiang Qi's left suddenly moved. Jiang Qi looked at it. He still had the standard smile and big watery eyes, but this smile had a hint of ridicule.
Then the doll in the blue skirt stretched out, opened her mouth and yawned, as if she was tired from watching everyone playing with turtle soup.
There is really a ghost in this house.
Jiang Qi looked at the blue skirt doll, as if to see what other anthropomorphic actions it could make, but the blue skirt doll stopped moving, and its smile turned into a normal smile, like an ordinary doll.
"Miss Zuo Si got the answer right, so she certainly deserves a reward. Please wait downstairs for a moment while I go upstairs to get the reward." After that, Granny Gu slowly went upstairs on crutches, and the crutches made a dull sound when they hit the wooden stairs. The thumping sound disappeared after a while, and no one could hear the movement upstairs.
Zuo Si was in a good mood after hearing that he would receive a reward. He began to observe the decorations in the house leisurely, and even picked up the beautiful dolls and played with them when he saw them.
"Don't mention it, the dolls in this room are quite pretty." Zuo Si directly picked up one of her favorite dolls that had been moved before, a short-haired blond doll wearing a blue floral skirt with lace trim, and put it in her arms. It looked like I want to take this doll away directly.
Just kick the ghost into his arms, something most horror movie stars wouldn't dare to do.
"As expected of you, Miss Suicide." Jiang Qi sighed.
"Why are you touching the dolls in this room? Haven't you heard that this store is haunted? Be careful to bring dirty things back." Yu Gui scolded, and couldn't help but move the chair farther away, not wanting to get close to Zuo Si.
Zuo Si happened to also see that Yu Gui was unhappy: "Don't come here if you are timid. If you are afraid of ghosts, what paranormal and horror enthusiasts association are you applying for?"
Yu Gui was choked and speechless.
Xun Si, a frail young man beside him, intervened: "Miss Zuo, Mr. Yu also has good intentions. I would rather believe what he has than what he has not."
Yu Gui looked at Xun Si: "Do you know me?"
Xun Si smiled flatteringly: "Of course I know you. Mr. Yu, you are such a noble person and forget things. You sponsored our laboratory, and I am a researcher in the laboratory."
Grandma Gu had not come downstairs for a long time. Xun Si's words opened up everyone's conversation. Xun Si was not the only one who knew other people present, and everyone introduced themselves.
Yu Gui is the boss of a real estate company. His business has been doing well in the past two years and he has made a lot of money. He is considered the best among the six.
As he said, Xun Si is a researcher, studying for a Ph.D., and published a paper some time ago. Recently, he is very proud and has been appreciated by his boss.
Zhao Si is the sales manager of a cosmetics store with good performance. She just bought a house last month with her savings over the years and is doing well.
Zhuang Gui is a full-time housewife who is married to a wealthy husband and often buys cosmetics from Zhao Si. Zhuang Gui was unlucky. Her rich husband cheated on her and raised a mistress. The mistress even gave birth to a son and almost succeeded in becoming a high-ranking man.
Why is it said that she almost succeeded in becoming a leader? Because her rich husband is now deceased. When the late husband took his mistress and his son on a trip, their car broke down on the highway and they fell off a cliff and died.
Jian Gui, the most low-key and quiet person, is an ordinary accountant who has just lost his job. The reason for his unemployment was the company's bankruptcy. He is the only unlucky one among the six.
Based on what he read in Zuo Si's book, Jiang Qi figured out where Zuo Si's good luck came from. He didn't need to guess how everyone except Jian Gui got their recent good fortune.
Either he hired an irregular Gumantong like Zuo Si, or he used other evil methods.
Even for Jian Gui, who seemed to have nothing good going on, Jiang Qi felt that he was probably not very clean.
This Jiang Qi has finally seen through, everyone is evil.
After the six people finished chatting, it was already 8:40. Granny Gu went upstairs to get the gifts for more than half an hour and still didn't come down. Everyone was getting a little impatient waiting.
Zuo Si got up with the baby in his arms, walked to the stairs and shouted upstairs: "Grandma Gu, have you found the gift? If you haven't found it, forget it. Do you want to play with the turtle soup?"
No reply.
Zuo Si felt something was wrong. He looked up and found that there was no light at all upstairs.
"It doesn't seem right." Zuo Si said to everyone, "There are no lights upstairs. Grandma Gu is gone or asleep, right?"
"Is this damn old woman playing with us?" Yu Gui said angrily, getting up and about to open the door and leave.
He turned the doorknob hard but couldn't turn it.
The door is locked.
Seeing this, everyone's expressions turned ugly.
"What do you mean? Lock us in here?" Yu Gui kicked the door hard, but the door, which was of good quality, did not move at all.
Zhao Si took out her cell phone to call the police, but was horrified to find that her cell phone had no signal.
Everyone’s cellphones had no signal.
Everyone finally started to realize that something was not quite right.
"Go to the second floor!" Jian Gui was the first to react.
Zuo Si was still holding the baby.
Jiang Qi watched with relish. He felt that it was time, it was time to start haunting.
In this situation, how do horror movies usually work?
Turn off the lights!
The originally bright incandescent lamp suddenly flashed as if the current was disturbed.
"Ah!" Zhao Si exclaimed.
There are screams, and the next thing is the supernatural event.
"Hahahahahaha~" The doll in Zuo Si's arms suddenly laughed, just like the old mother-in-law. Zuo Si was so shocked that he quickly threw the doll away.
All the dolls laughed together.
More than 100 dolls and more than 100 laughters as clear as silver bells were superimposed to create a very terrifying sound effect. Everyone could not even care about fear and covered their ears in pain.
"Go upstairs, go upstairs quickly!" Jian Gui was the first to run upstairs regardless of the others.
Others followed, and the laughter stopped the moment everyone stepped onto the stairs.
The doll in blue skirt who was thrown out by Zuo Si stood up from the ground, very unhappy, and snorted: "You are a coward, you just know how to run, it's really boring."
Then the blue dress doll fell to the ground, and the largest red dress doll on the middle shelf moved.
The doll in the red skirt jumped off the shelf, touching the hem of her skirt very leisurely and elegantly. There were two lines of blood and tears in the doll's eyes, and it opened its mouth to reveal the sharp teeth hidden in the cotton. After making several fierce expressions, it withdrew the teeth and blood and tears, feeling very satisfied.
The doll in the red dress jumped up and down the stairs, and all the dolls moved. They jumped down from the shelf in a very dull manner and followed behind.
The Doll Army is out.
Jiang Qi looked at the jumping figure of the doll in the red dress and thought that this doll was quite cute.
How should I put it, if Jiang Qi himself was a participant in a horror film, he would definitely be very scared.
But once he became a bystander, the kind of onlooker that no ghost could see, things became interesting.
Is it fun to watch people scream?
Fun.
Is it fun to watch ghosts and scare people?
Fun.
Is it fun to arrange your own clothes to watch a ghost and manage your expression before scaring you?
Quite fun.
"Sure enough, horror is interesting in the first place, but only the world where the players are injured has been achieved." Jiang Qi sighed and followed.
A paragraph suddenly disappeared from the previous chapter and has been added back. I'll see if it continues to disappear tomorrow. If it disappears, I'll have to modify it.
