I'm afraid of non-human beings

a mess.

The boss looked at the fragments of vases all over the floor for a while, at a loss, and finally walked to the small locker on the opposite side of the corridor without a word, took out a broom and dustpan from it, and began to clean up resignedly.

Based on the footprints left and disappeared along the way and the "blood" still floating in the air, he could guess what was going on seven or eight times. He kept his mouth tightly shut, daring not to ask even if he wanted to.

Judging from the expression of the bald middle-aged man, if he hadn't had his share of the solicited disaster and couldn't get away, he would have left the store long ago.

No wonder.

Opening a hotel in the town where the clown Pennywise made trouble, is just right for Freddy to commit crimes, and he also received a package containing Annabelle...

How unlucky it must be.

What a miserable boss.

Geng Qinghe breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Lin You pick up the card, and patted him on the shoulder sympathetically.

"Sell this store as soon as this is over," he said, "let's find another place to stay."

The boss nodded feebly.

"I want to sell it, but now even if it's cheap, no one may want it... Forget it, love it or not, as long as you can walk away."

How can money matter.

"That, it's not that I don't trust your ability to choose a location, boss..." Geng Qinghe scratched his face, "But you must never go to Raccoon City, even if you can, bring more guns."

Yin Sheng pressed on the brim of his hat, "...don't go to Texas."

"Nor has Haddonfield," he added.

Guan Chuchu: "..."

Enough! !

"If there is a place called Crystal Lake nearby, stay away from it, or you will meet a murderer named Jason." Lian Linyou also stepped in with a smile, and saw that the boss was confused, and said, " But don’t worry too much, anyway, it won’t be long before—”

solved.

When she reached the point of her mouth, she got stuck there.Maybe because he noticed something wrong with her, Geng Qinghe said in doubt: "Sister You?"

His gaze followed and froze immediately.

"This, this is impossible..." Geng Qinghe hesitated.

When they heard the screams, they all ran over reflexively. At this time, all five of them gathered at the corner. Although they could see the hall, they were still separated by some distance.

"Sure enough, shouldn't you forget to leave someone in front of you to watch?" He murmured, "That guy--no, where's the doll?"

The wooden box originally used to hold Annabelle was still on the table, but it was empty inside, not to mention the doll, only the lid of the box was still crookedly covering it.

"No, it's not a question of whether to look at it or not." Lin You's expression was a little dazed, "I was staring at that all the time just now, and in the blink of an eye, there was not even a shadow left."

Nonsense, can you not be in a trance?

——Ka, who was close at hand, ran away by herself! ! !

Lin You's mood right now was the same as watching a cooked duck suddenly grow wings. Before the others hurriedly looked at each other, she walked over quickly.

Perhaps it was the desire of the three consecutive SRs that was so strong that when she found a folded note next to the opened wooden box, she felt a little relieved.

Lin You flattened the note.

——[FINDME].

The strokes were also crookedly smeared with a red crayon, and there was no doubt that it was left by Annabelle.

"It seems," she waved the note in front of several people who rushed over, "this 'Miss Annabelle' quite likes playing hide-and-seek."

The expressions of the others were a little inexplicable for a moment, and it was hard to say what kind of emotion it was, but the innkeeper's face was definitely more disappointed. He had a bitter face, obviously hoping that the doll would really run away on his own initiative, rather than some hellish hide-and-seek .

Geng Qinghe: "...Do you want to look for it?"

Lin You: "That's for sure."

"In the beginning, it was probably just playing some tricks to test us, and then it will get worse." She said, "But anyway, let's do what it says first."

The boss came out, but he didn't want to leave the counter any more, so they simply followed the previous grouping.

Guan Chuchu and Yin Sheng were in charge of searching on the first floor, and Geng Qinghe and Lin You took the key to the house and went door-to-door on the second floor to check where Annabelle might be hiding.

They started to check from the innermost room. The structure of each room was similar, and the whole process was so calm that even Cong Xinru Geng Qinghe relaxed from the trembling at the beginning.

Pushing away the rocking chair next to the bedside table, Lin You leaned over to look at the bottom of another bed, and unconsciously lost her mind.

"It's really a good idea." She said to herself.

Geng Qinghe: "Huh?"

"I said this."

Lin You straightened up and explained: "The matter of Freddy and the clown basically happened at the same time. If Annabelle's package was opened at that time..."

A single Annabelle is enough to easily startle them and exhaust them physically and mentally. This is the best time for the clown to sneak in. When he finally fell asleep, Freddy was still waiting in his dream. From any point of view, it is a deadly game.

Geng Qinghe: "..."

Fortunately, fortunately, the first two kneel down.

Thinking of this, the awe in his eyes could not help but increase.

They left this room, and it was next door's turn.Geng Qinghe was about to show his enthusiasm, but just as he took a step, his foot slipped.

...Fuck!

The back of his head was facing the doorknob, and he might have a concussion if it was serious. Fortunately, Lin You pulled it in time with quick eyesight and hands.

"...Thank, thank you, sister Yu."

After finally standing still, Geng Qinghe saw clearly under the light what caused him to almost slip——

A trickle of water trickled out from under the crack of the door, converging into a small puddle on the tiles beside the carpet.

"How could there be water?" He was surprised, "Could it be..."

Hearing the sound of water flowing inside, Lin You immediately took out the key and opened the door.

The water was coming from the open bathroom.

On the sink, the faucet was wide open, and excess water overflowed from the already full sink.

The aisle in the house was full of stagnant water, which vaguely reflected the figure on the sink.

Annabelle was sitting with her head tilted, her back to them.

However, she in the mirror happened to be looking at the door where the two were, and those two glass eyes stared straight at them.

Geng Qinghe: "...?!!"

As soon as he got goosebumps, he saw Lin You stretch out his hand, straightening her head without changing expression or beating heartbeat.

"Always crooked neck, be careful of cervical spondylosis." She said.

Geng Qinghe: "..."

Annabelle: ...

As a doll, of course she would not have any reaction, and the weird smile on her lips remained the same as before.

"Okay, the game of hide and seek is over." Lin You picked up Annabelle and looked at her watch, "It's time to eat too."

The creepy atmosphere broke down all of a sudden, Geng Qinghe couldn't laugh or cry, and his heart was that the boss still had such thoughts at the moment.

However, having said that...

His stomach growled.

...I'm a little hungry.

They got up early in the morning, and after tossing about Freddy, they met the clown again, and now it's dusk.

When the people downstairs saw Annabelle being held in their hands, they were relieved and at the same time, their expressions were first-class wonderful.

The boss is even more so, he can't wait to be eight feet away from this doll, the side effect of being too frightened is that most of the dinner is burnt.

However, Lin You and the others didn't care about this.To put it bluntly, on the one hand, they can really feel hungry, and on the other hand, they just want to prevent themselves from taking the hunger debuff.

"What about tonight?"

After tidying up the remaining intact bowls and chopsticks, Guan Chuchu asked worriedly, "Annabelle—"

Lin You looked at the doll lying quietly in the box at the moment, but she couldn't figure out what this guy was thinking.

What happened before has fully proved that defense is inevitable, as long as Annabelle really wants to do something, she can still go where she wants to go without anyone noticing.

"Since it won't leave the hotel and it's not in a hurry to get rid of it, let's just put it in the lobby. Everyone sleeps in two separate rooms, so there will be someone to take care of if anything happens."

"Anyway, Freddy's gone," she said with a smile, "it can be regarded as a rare rest time."

After all, going out from here is the next level.

Everyone: "..."

God damn rest time.

Is Annabelle shameless? !

But this is somewhat reasonable, not to mention that they didn't dare to sleep much last night.

When night fell, even the most anxious Geng Qinghe had no choice but to admit defeat after bursts of sleepiness, no matter how unreliable he was, he would wait until dawn.

……

midnight.

Lin You couldn't tell when she woke up.

Guan Chuchu's shallow breathing came from behind her, but during this time, a trace of other sounds leaked into her ears.

—the sound of wood creaking against the floor.

Her eyelids twitched.

The light shone into the half-opened eyes.

Because of this, Lin You could clearly see the dark shadow behind the light.

Annabelle sat in the rocking chair by the head of the bed.

The bluish-black ceramic face was facing her, and under the faint moonlight, the dress on her body was even paler, and a pair of eyes seemed to have a strange light, which made the back of the neck feel chills unconsciously.

"She" was obviously motionless, but the rocking chair was rocking gently back and forth.

Every time she moved forward, the stiff smile on Annabelle's face got closer to the person beside the bed; even if she moved backward, her eyes seemed to be rolling downward under the light, staring at him firmly hold on.

What a classic shot.

She remembered how Annabelle in the movie used to be scary in the rocking chair, but it wasn't any more creepy than actually being face to face now.

Lin You stared at the doll for two seconds, sat up abruptly, stretched out her hand and lifted it vigorously——

Annabelle: ...? ! !

With a "bang dang", even the doll and the rocking chair were caught off guard and rolled backwards.

It was head down, with a dirty skirt covering its face.

Planted a headlong onion directly.
