moon shot plan

An Ran walked in front holding the dagger, and Li Zhiping timidly followed behind him, muttering in a low voice, not sure if he was talking to himself or asking: "There are so many rooms, where can I find some dolls?"

An Ran didn't answer, but just took a rough look. There were about six rooms on the second floor. Except for the two rooms where Xu Heng and Lan Xin came out, the doors of the other four were tightly closed.

An Ran hesitated for a moment, and chose to enter the room on the left. He remembered that Lan Xin came out from here.

He walked carefully to the door of the room and looked inside. The decoration seemed to be relatively simple, and it should be just an ordinary servant's room.

He took a deep breath, gestured for Li Zhiping to follow him, and stepped in first.

This room is relatively small, with a narrow and thin single bed placed against the wall, and the rest of the furnishings are simple and plain. After making sure that there are no dolls, An Ran backed out with Li Zhiping, and closed the door smoothly.

Then there was the room that Xu Heng came out of. I remember when he said that the room was full of dolls and he was shocked. Is it possible that Daisy is in that room?

This room is obviously much bigger, it still has a dark Gothic style, the thick dark black curtains firmly block the light from the outside, the room is very dark, when An Ran looks inside, her scalp feels numb instantly——

Countless dolls were neatly placed in a row of glass display cases against the wall. They were standing or sitting, their manners were elegant but stiff, and the glass eyes of various colors were like translucent rainbow candies, reflecting in the dark with unknown meanings. The light seemed to be peeping at An Ran and the two at the door.

Is this... is this room a doll collection room?

Hundreds of dolls of different shapes and the same pattern are carefully collected in glass display cases. Although their looks, hairstyles, clothes, and movements are all different, they all give people the same feeling——

Eerie, spooky, creepy.

An Ran bit the bullet and walked in, Li Zhiping said tremblingly, "Don't go in, the dolls in this room look creepy."

An Ran didn't want to go in either, but with so many dolls, it's very likely that Daisy is here, so in order to complete the task, he had to come in and check, seeing that Li Zhiping was afraid, he said, "If you are afraid, just wait outside! "

Li Zhiping didn't want to go in, but he looked back at the gloomy corridor like the mouth of an abyss, and he really didn't dare to stay outside the door alone. Seeing that An Ran had already walked in, he hurriedly followed: "Forget it, let's It’s good for two people to take care of each other when they’re together.”

An Ran was not in the mood to talk to him, he felt a sense of extreme panic now, always felt that there were countless lines of sight nailing on him, which made his back feel cold and his whole body stiff.

Where is the line of sight coming from?

Is it this doll?

He hastily suppressed this terrible conjecture.

His eyes quickly swept across the rows of dolls, and he didn't even dare to stay too long on a doll's face, because he was afraid-fearful of the possible "eye contact".

Although An Ran and Li Zhiping said that it would save time for them to watch from both ends separately, he obviously didn't want to leave An Ran for half a step, and still followed An Ran closely, in the pretense of helping An Ran to check again after reading it to prevent missing.

An Ran didn't want to argue with him anymore, the uneasiness in his heart was getting stronger and stronger, and he just wanted to quickly finish checking the room and close the door.

Suddenly, his eyes were attracted by a doll that was several times more gorgeous and exquisite than the doll next to him. Even though he frantically told himself not to look at it, he still couldn't control it, and looked at it like a maniac, shining with diamonds. The silk dress, the blond curls that brushed its pale skin, and the sapphire eyes that smiled maliciously.

An Ran's mind went blank for an instant, but something even weirder happened... He seemed to see it blinking——

When An Ran reacted, everything returned to the original, as if whether it was the chilling smile or the weird blink of an eye, it was just An Ran's illusion.

Is it really an illusion?

An Ran didn't dare to think about it any further, but... the weird doll in front of her was really too similar to the "Daisy" that Yuli described before——

The same beautiful sapphire eyes, the same shining golden hair, and the same gorgeous silk dress.

He was puzzled, and couldn't help but glanced at the doll in front of him again. Just when he was about to look back, he inadvertently caught a glimpse of its naked, thin and sharp collarbone——

There is something stabbed on it... It seems to be an English word!

It seems to start with D?What's this?What is the name of the doll?

He couldn't help but get closer, put his hand on the glass cabinet, and carefully identified the blue and black cursive words——

D--A--R--C--Y

Darcy?

Is it Daisy?As soon as this idea came up, An Ran himself denied it. If I remember correctly, the pronunciation of this word should be "Darcy", and the English pronunciation of "Daisy" that Yuli said should be Daisy. Daisy is right.

He double-checked that there was no dot on the letter in the middle, and it was indeed an "r" instead of an "i", followed by an "s" instead of a "c", so at least it was certain that the name was not Daisy.

What does the word on it represent?Is it the name of the doll or the name of the maker or owner?

He hurried to see if there were such English words on the other dolls next to him. Sure enough, the bare skin of the dolls on both sides had black and blue names tattooed on them, and they were different. One was Amy and the other was Lucy.

Then it is almost certain that the words tattooed on the dolls are their names.

So this doll, which is almost exactly the same as Daisy's original dress, is not Daisy, but "Darcy"?What is the relationship between them?

The more An Ran thought about it, the more confused she became, and she was about to ask Li Zhiping if she had found anything else, but she saw him staring at her with wide eyes in horror, pointing tremblingly behind him, his face was pale, and he couldn't say a word for a long time Come.

Only then did An Ran realize the reason why she was flustered just now——

There is a cold and malicious gaze sticking to his back at this moment!

He turned half of his body slowly, but suddenly bumped into a pair of cold sapphire eyes—just like the ones with a vicious smile.

That extraordinarily gorgeous doll—Darcy, whom he had just observed carefully, stood there quietly.

It was lying on the glass at the moment, looking at him with a smile, and saw that he finally turned around, grinning in an unladylike manner, revealing a mouth full of white and fine fangs.

Li Zhiping was so frightened that he screamed. Anran pulled him up and ran outside. There was a "bang bang" knocking sound behind them. Maybe it was knocking on the glass. Anran could only pray that it would not break the glass display case for a while. .

The knocking sound continued, An Ran could only pull Li Zhiping out with all her strength, and then slammed the door shut with a "bang".

Although the door was closed, they could still faintly hear the sound of beating the glass, as well as the faint voice of a child:

"Hee hee, are you here to find Daisy's bad doll? She has been dragged away by Yuli... What's so good about her, you all like her...I'm the most beautiful doll here now... When I come out to play with you... I like humans the most..."

"I'm fed up! I'm going crazy! Don't look for it anymore!" Li Zhiping leaned against the wall, yelled in despair, and begged An Ran: "Let's go, don't look for it anymore! This game is terrible! "

An Ran sighed, suppressed all the fear in her heart, and asked him calmly: "Where can we go? We have no choice in the game, do you want to become like Zhang Yi?"

"It's still the same sentence, I want to get out alive, so I will continue to look for it, if you are afraid, you can stay by yourself, or go wherever you think is safe." An Ran dropped these words, raised her legs and walked to the next room .

Li Zhiping sat down weakly along the wall, watched An Ran walk to the door of the next room, carefully opened the door, and walked in with the dagger in hand.

So what's the use of working hard?That doll is not necessarily on the second floor.

He made up his mind to stay where he was, but the banging sound in the second room became louder and louder, and the doll's sweet and sinister laughter could be heard from time to time:

"Stay where you are, I'm coming out to catch you~"

He shivered violently, not daring to stay alone any longer, he quickly got up from the ground and chased after An Ran.

At this time, An Ran has already taken a general look at the room. The room is not big, and there is no furniture. Instead, there are many wooden boxes on the floor, and some rags, old curtains and other sundries are scattered in the open space. Transformed into a utility room, storage room or something.

He walked inside, but didn't see any shadow of dolls, and fiddled with the sundries piled on the ground with his feet, but still got nothing.

This room looked like it hadn't been cleaned all year round. There was a thick layer of dust everywhere, and the tiny dust was flying in the air, like a group of annoying mosquitoes.

An Ran pinched his nose and looked around, but couldn't find anything special for a while, just when he was about to close the door and leave, his eyes swept away inadvertently, and he froze in astonishment——

In that place, there was a bunch of densely packed small footprints!

The footprint was only one-third the size of his palm, and it was uncountable how many "people" it belonged to, because some were small leather shoes, some had small high heels, and some were simply small feet.

They are chaotic and dense, leaving eerie trails on the dust.

Yes, these small footprints did not mean lively and cute at all, they only made An Ran feel horrified—a group of dolls used to move here.

They are really movable.

What are they doing here?Are they still...?

He became more vigilant, his eyes swept across the room, but he still didn't find anything unusual.

Either they've already left, or...

He locked his eyes on the wooden box closest to him——

Just hide in these boxes.

He walked as lightly as possible, approached the box, and then kicked it away abruptly.

Even if he was mentally prepared, when he saw the doll curled up in the box in a distorted posture with scars all over his body, he felt a sudden cardiac arrest, turned around and ran almost subconsciously, and there was a broken sound coming from the box behind him. Distorted child's voice: "Hee hee, I've been discovered!"

An Ran still couldn't control the survival instinct of wanting to run away from the door, and the weird child's voice said behind him: "Don't run, don't run, stay here, let's play hide-and-seek together!"

An Ran glanced back while running away, and was surprised to find that the tattered doll he just saw hadn't caught up.

"I told you not to run away! This is the safest place in the entire villa~ Even if you are a delicious human being, you are safe here~"

The broken child's voice said with a grin, "None of them can find it here, no matter whether it's mother or Yuli, hee hee, this is our doll's refuge..."

An Ran had already run to the door, and after hearing this, he stopped, and for the sake of the mission, he temporarily gave up the cause of escape, stood at a relatively safe distance from it, and tentatively asked, "Refuge?"

A pale and bony hand rested on the side of the box, and the broken doll inside barely supported its head.

Its hair was messy and tangled, its face was stained with blood, and its glass eyeballs were covered with cracks like spider webs. It could be said to be extremely miserable.

"Hee hee, you can call me Quillie..." it said, "Yes, the refuge, the refuge for us poor dolls..."

"You... who made you like this?" An Ran looked at its horrific body: "Is it You Li?"

"Yuli... If you say that, it is indeed Yuli... that bad guy Yuli, the bad guy who strives to be the first in everything, alas, if I hadn't hid in this refuge, I would probably be chopped down by her died!"

"Why did she kill you? Is she crazy?" An Ran asked again.

Kui Li's remaining eyeballs rolled around, and she giggled: "Crazy? Maybe! But... that's what drove her crazy, and she's just like us, a poor child!"

"Mom? Who is mother?" An Ran wondered, "Youli's mother?"

Kui Li still smiled: "Mom is mother, you human being is so stupid! Mom doesn't like stupid children, stupid children will go to hell!"

An Ran was about to sweat, and after asking for a long time, he was still confused, so he simply asked, "Do you know Daisy?"

When Kui Li heard the name, she was silent for a moment, narrowed her cracked eyes and looked at him in the shadows, her voice became low and low: "Daisy?"

"Yes, Daisy, have you seen her? Julie is looking for her."

Kui Li laughed softly, her voice becoming more and more distorted: "Isn't she still dead... You Li is too bad! It's an embarrassment to my mother..."

"If you want to know what she said, you should ask mom. After all, mom... likes her the most..."

After it said this, it planned to shrink back into the box, "I advise you not to waste your time looking for her, she is a smart and enviable doll... Hee hee, but anyway, if she is not recuperating in a wooden box, she will be very happy." Will soon die outside..."

"...Wait," An Ran suddenly thought, "This is the shelter for your dolls, why didn't Daisy hide here?"

Kui Li stopped laughing, her cracked glass eyes looked at him strangely in the dark: "Of course she has been here."

An Ran looked at its dark face and flickering eyes, and the densely packed little footprints on the dust that he saw just now flashed across his mind...

"Of course she escaped in..." Kui Li raised the corners of her lips and said casually, "But we don't welcome her."

An Ran had already imagined the scene at that time in her mind - Yuli was chasing behind with a long axe, Daisy fled desperately to this room for refuge, but was pushed out by other dolls in the room...

"Why?" he asked.

Kui Li moved her cracked red lips, and an answer seemed to be blurted out, but she finally swallowed it, and said with a sinister smile: "Dear guest, you are no longer welcome here, what do you want to ask? Go to mother, she knows everything about us."

"Where is mom?" he asked eagerly.

"Mom, hee hee," Kui Li slowly closed the box with her skinny hands, her one eye gleaming in the gap: "You don't want to see her."
