Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Lucas’s brows were furrowed the entire time. He looked at the workbench. Other than the dolls that were being made, there were two or three half body dolls on the workbench. One of them had its eyes closed and its head raised slightly. Its long black hair hung down, and the other had its eyes wide open. Its eyes had not been drawn, making it look strange and empty.
Lucas looked up and suddenly realized that something was wrong. The three people in the workshop had disappeared at some point. There were only
Amelia and him in the huge studio. The glass door was also closed and locked.
Lucas was speechless. His heart tightened. “Mia!” he whispered. Amelia looked up and comforted him. “It’s okay, Brother. Don’t worry.”
Lucas was helpless. Indeed, he could not expect a child to predict danger. Now that the two of them were obviously locked up here, she did not notice at all!
Lucas dragged Amelia away forcefully. “Let’s go. Let’s go quickly. What kind of places are you and William coming to?” Now he was sure that this place was definitely not normal.
Amelia: “A place with fewer people. Brother, don’t you dislike places with more people?”
Lucas: “…” He was speechless.
“Let’s go!” Lucas’s face was cold as he dragged Amelia out.
Amelia hurriedly took something out of her satchel. “Brother, wait a little longer. I’m not done yet!” She took out a handful of yellow talismans and ran to the box. She tiptoed and tried to open it, but she could not reach it…
“Brother…” Amelia looked at Lucas with big eyes.
Lucas pressed his throbbing temples and stared cautiously at the wooden box. He carefully opened it and immediately took a step back. There was a slippery feeling under his feet. He lowered his head and saw that he had inexplicably stepped on a ball of black hair…
Lucas’ heart skipped a beat.
Amelia tiptoed and threw the yellow talisman into the wooden box. Suddenly, a green flame rose with a whoosh. An abrupt scream sounded, sharp and urgent, but it disappeared in an instant.
Lucas looked up in shock, his mouth open as he looked at the wooden box that had suddenly caught fire… This… When did he light the fire? No, who was the one who had screamed just now? He even wondered if he had imagined it.
The flames quickly extinguished. Lucas didn’t want to stay here for a moment longer. He picked Amelia up again and was about to leave. Amelia, however, grabbed a small shovel and waved her small hand. “Brother, Brother, wait a moment. One last time!”
Seeing Amelia’s serious expression and anxiousness, Lucas subconsciously carried her closer. He watched as she stirred in the wooden box with a small shovel. As she stirred, she muttered, “Beat you! Beat you to death!”
Lucas was speechless. When Amelia finally stopped, he took the small shovel out of her hand and tossed it aside. He walked quickly toward the glass door. Sure enough, it was locked.
“We can’t get out.” Lucas immediately raised his watch and was about to make a call when he realized that there was no signal here. He decisively called the police. Without a signal, the police call could be connected.
When the call went through, Lucas said very calmly, “Hello, police uncle? We’re locked up on the 38th floor of La Liga Building in La Liga’s business district…” As soon as he finished speaking, Amelia grabbed the iron lock and pulled hard. The iron lock, which was thicker than her arm, was instantly pulled open.
Lucas froze in the act of holding up his phone watch.
“Go, go, go!” Amelia pulled Lucas along.
Lucas’s mouth was open, and he couldn’t say a word. He stared at Amelia in shock. Had the door just been ajar?
The policeman on the other end of the line said hello twice. Amelia tiptoed and said loudly, “Police uncle, come quickly. There are human bones here…”
Lucas hurriedly hung up. It was fine to spout nonsense in front of others just now, but in front of the police, he could not spout nonsense. He could not prank call the police.
Lucas led Amelia out in a hurry. At this moment, he suddenly remembered that there was William outside. If the people here had ulterior motives, was William still outside? Along the way, they passed by the eerie doll display cabinet. Lucas did not care to look further. Amelia was pulled by him and panted. “Brother, slow down. Mia can’t keep up!’
Lucas subconsciously slowed down. Just as he was about to turn around and pick Amelia up, he happened to see a doll floating behind Amelia. Her face was pale, and she was staring straight at him. There was also inexplicable sharp laughter around her, as if countless people were hiding in the dark and peeping.. In the next second, the doll revealed a strange smile and pounced on him!
