this damn love

"It's finally packed. Lilian, we have a new home~"

The curly-haired girl hugged the shoulder of the black-haired girl next to her affectionately. The two smiled and looked at the clean room, full of a sense of accomplishment in their hearts.

Lilian patted each other's hands, "I'll cook to celebrate our first day of moving."

Daisy exaggeratedly held her face and screamed, "Ah, it's great! You can taste the deliciousness of the East again!"

"You wash the dishes." Lilian left a sentence with a smile, and went into the kitchen to get busy, Daisy's face suddenly collapsed, "Oh no~ I hate washing the dishes the most."

"I also hate washing dishes the most, so I choose to cook." Lilian chatted with Daisy in a relaxed mood while cooking through the door that blocked the oily smoke.

It has been more than half a year since she came to this world.The original owner is a Chinese who stayed here after graduating from this city. Because of his excellent professional ability, he applied to become an intern doctor in a well-known local hospital. doctor.

Daisy is a colleague in her unit and a nurse.The two hit it off right away, and lived together in the dormitory of the unit before, but later couldn't stand the environment there, so the two found another house and moved out to share the rent.

This apartment with an elevator is not far from the unit, and it only takes more than ten minutes to walk. Originally, the price of a two-bedroom apartment in this area of ​​the city center was not cheap, but at that time, I saw the rental information on the Internet. Barely can bear it.

The two were having dinner, "It's delicious~" Daisy couldn't stop praising her, she used the chopsticks clumsily with her fingers, and finally even took a spoon to scoop up the vegetables and stuffed them into her mouth in a hurry, screaming when it was so hot, she looked so greedy. Lilian couldn't help but laugh.

"Ding Dong" the two of them were chatting and laughing when suddenly the doorbell rang.Daisy came back a while after going out, holding a box in her hand.

Lilian, "What?"

Daisy shook her head, "I don't know, it was sent by courier, open it and have a look." She was eager to try.

Lilian helped her and the two of them unpack the outer cover of the package.

After tearing off the cover, the black suitcase was revealed, and the tight metal buckle was opened, and a puppet came into view on the red base cloth.

It was a western-style puppet in a white princess dress, about the size of a one-year-old child, with long brown curly hair draped softly behind her, with a wide smile, and two shallow nasolabial folds extending down from the nose.

Lilian stared at the puppet lying quietly on the red silk cloth. Its eyeballs imitated human beings, with white eyes and radiating gray pupils. At first glance, it looked like a living person.

Probably due to the strange aesthetics of the East and the West, Daisy likes it very much, she can't put it down when she picks it up, "Wow! So cute!"

Lilian noticed that there was a greeting card in the box, and handed it to Daisy, "Here."

Daisy opened it and looked at the content, and she was surprised, "My mother gave it to me! I have always liked dolls since I was a child. My mother specially gave me a moving gift when she knew we were moving out! She excitedly kissed the puppet and handed it to Lilian, "Do you want to play with it?"

Lilian waved her hand to refuse, and smiled dryly, "No need."

It doesn't matter what age it is to have a young girl's heart, but with the difference in aesthetics, she really doesn't think this doll is cute.

What's more, the puppet in human form is kept at home, and occasionally it will be misunderstood by a blink of an eye, so she doesn't have to scare herself.

Daisy was puzzled, "You don't like this kind? Then what do you like, Barbie dolls, or furry animal dolls?"

"...Stuffed bear." Lilian recalled the doll bear that hid food and daggers during the war, which was a gift from Hannibal.

Daisy shrugged, "Okay," she looked around, "Where do you think it would be better? How about on the sofa?"

Lilian was surprised, "Why did you put it outside? Isn't it placed on your bed so that you can hug and sleep?"

Daisy's eyes widened, "Please! This is not a masturbation stick, why should I hold it!"

Lily appeased her forehead, "...Be subtle, thank you."

"I'm afraid you're too lonely." Daisy, who has a boyfriend, lost no time in showing affection, "It's decided like this. Put it on the sofa, at least someone will watch TV with you."

Lilian: "... I thank you!"

Lilian suddenly felt very tired when she met such an enthusiastic roommate whose brain circuit was completely incomprehensible.

After dinner, Daisy was in a good mood after receiving this unexpected gift, and she didn't complain about doing the dishes.

The two watched TV for a while, took turns taking a shower, and then went back to their respective rooms to sleep.

After a busy day of cleaning and tidying up the house, the tired Lilian quickly fell asleep.

A cold air quietly grew from the ceiling, gradually sinking and covering her in her sleep, the black air was so thick that it even covered her face.

"cold……"

In a blur of consciousness, her body instinctively curled up into a ball, she frowned, and the corner of her mouth leaked a hint of embarrassment.

The cloud of black air seemed to be reluctant to leave, and moved away step by step at a much slower speed than when it came, dissipating in the air.

When she woke up the next day, Lilian felt as if she was being crushed by a ghost, and her whole body was sore and limp.

Daisy was surprised to see her, "Oh my dear, what did you do last night to make yourself like this."

Lilian looked at herself in the mirror, with a look of lack of sleep, "I didn't do anything. It must have been a nightmare." I felt very cold in my sleep, and it was obviously still summer.

Passing by the living room, he glanced casually and paused slightly.

"Daisy, did you play with your doll this morning?" she asked him.

Daisy came out of the bathroom brushing her teeth, glanced at the puppet sitting on the right side of the sofa, and said with toothpaste foam in her mouth, "No. I don't have time to wash up in the morning, so I don't have time to play. What's wrong?"

"...It's okay." Averting her eyes from the simulated doll, Lilian didn't plan to tell Daisy for the time being, if it was her illusion, it would be bad to scare the other party who knew nothing.

It's just that she has obsessive-compulsive disorder and is careful, unlike Daisy who left the puppet sprawled on the sofa last night, she picked it up and straightened the overturned skirt of the puppet, and placed it in the center of the sofa.

The two rushed to the hospital in a hurry in the morning, and didn't take this episode to heart.

"I'm so tired." When the two returned home exhausted at night, Daisy turned on the light, and the brightness of the room dispelled the darkness. Lilian noticed with sharp eyes that the position of the puppet had changed again.

It used to be on the right side of the sofa, but now it sits on the armrest.The bright red mouth grinned at them, and the two short arms were opened wide, as if waiting for a hug.

"Daisy, do you think this doll is a bit strange?" Lilian asked.

Daisy took a look and yawned sleepily, "No."

Lilian sighed. Daisy has a carefree personality and never pays attention to these small details.

And she has experienced the terrifying zombie world, encountered ghost mirror ghosts, and knows that there are many things in this world that ordinary people cannot understand and believe.

Lilian went over to pick up the puppet, "I know this was given to you by your mother, and you must be reluctant to throw it away. But I think it's weird."

Daisy rolled her eyes weakly, "Well, I know you don't like it." Picking up the doll from Lilian's hand, "I'd better take it back to my room."

"Thanks." Lilian made a gesture of thanks to her.

When going to bed at night, Lilian deliberately locked the door. She was not in the habit of locking the door. She closed the window before going to bed.

Night covers the land, and danger comes quietly.

Lilian, who was sleeping, felt very cold. The cold air penetrated into the gaps in the bones like fine needles, and rushed into the limbs and bones. Even the blood seemed to be frozen, and the cold teeth clicked.

She wanted to yell, her throat was so swollen and sore that she couldn't utter a word.

Get up... wake up!

The imminent danger stimulated her keen heartstrings, she struggled to wake up from the dream, opened her eyes suddenly, the feeling of suffocation from being pressed by the stone on her chest dissipated, panting heavily, fumbled to turn on the bedside lamp, it turned on At that moment, a pair of gray pupils sneered, very close at hand!

"!" The heart beat violently, Lilian lowered her head expressionlessly, and slowly clenched her fists.

Even though the door to her room was locked, and the doll was also in Daisy's room, how did this thing sneak into her room and sit on the bedside? !

With white fingers stretched out, he grasped the neck where the puppet's head was connected to the body, exerting all his strength.

"Wow"

A cry of a baby exploded in my ears like thunder, and the puppet fell to the ground with a shake of its hand, and looked at her sideways with gray eyeballs, as if mocking.

Lilian was in shock, she would never hallucinate that cry, this puppet is really weird!

Seeing that it was almost dawn, she simply got up, returned to the room after washing, and saw that the doll she had thrown on the ground had disappeared.

After a while, Daisy got up yawning, and Lilian glanced at her room. The doll was wearing a princess dress and lay obediently on the pillow.

Daisy's eyes lit up when she saw the breakfast on the table, "Why did you get up so early today? You still have time to make breakfast~"

Lilian ate her sandwich without raising her head, and said in a flat tone, "Your puppet ran into the room last night."

"Ah?" Daisy was about to touch a piece of bread before brushing her teeth, and looked at her in horror, "What are you talking about? You haven't woken up yet?"

"You didn't wake up," Lilian rolled her eyes, explained what happened last night in detail, and finally concluded, "If it weren't for the fact that this doll is a gift from your mother, I would It was torn to pieces last night."

Daisy cried and said, "Baby, you are too violent." After working together for so long, she also understood Lilian's character. If she thought the doll was weird for the first time, she would have to be serious the second time.Lilian is not the type to make such jokes.

She thought for a while, with a confused look on her face, "You said your room is locked, and mine is also locked. How did it appear in your room... By the way," she recalled something, and said seriously, "Actually, I I also had a weird dream last night."

"what?"

Daisy recalled, "The memory is a bit fuzzy, it seems that there is a girl who has been crying, very poor. She said she was lonely and no one played with her, and asked me if I could borrow my doll. I agreed casually. --"

Her words came to an abrupt end under Lilian's solemn expression. Following Lilian's gaze, she slowly turned her head. She was originally facing the open door of her own room, and when she turned her head, she saw the man who was clearly lying on her pillow before. The puppet sat upright at the end of the bed at some point, with the white princess dress covering the legs, and it was actually kneeling and standing up.

Daisy's voice trembled with fear, "...Am I dazzled? Or did you touch the doll while I wasn't paying attention, Lilian?"

She looked at Lilian for help, because she had seen the position of the doll when she got up, and she would not remember it wrong this time.

"I haven't even been in your room." Lilian ate the last bit of sandwich, her sharp gaze passed over her shoulder, staring at the doll at the end of the bed, "I think we're in trouble."

It was the second time she encountered a supernatural event. The previous ghost mirror was basically incomprehensible, and she realized that even in front of ordinary people, she was considered to be a good fighter, but she had no resistance in front of these ghosts, and she didn't even know how she died. .

"Do you mind if I throw it out?" Lilian kindly suggested.

Daisy seemed reluctant, "I promise to throw out the rest, but this is a gift from my mother after all!"

Lilian shrugged, "Okay then, I hope you don't regret it, I'll check the information first."

Daisy told her that the crying girl in the dream called herself "Annabelle". Lilian searched the Internet, and the headlines that came out made both of them speechless.

It is said that a murder occurred in this building more than 50 years ago.

After the parents divorced, the cruel father tortured his child to death. In the end, he was exempted from criminal punishment and acquitted because a psychiatric certificate proved that he was mentally ill.

The girl who was tortured and killed was called Annabelle.

According to rumors on the Internet, since that day, the soul of Annabelle, who cannot rest in peace, wanders here day and night. Strange things often happen in the building, and the tenants here are always changing frequently.

"Daisy, is this the house that you told me that you surveyed in advance and the environment is good and safe?" Lilian's expression was not very good.During that time, she was busy keeping her feet on the ground, so she asked Daisy, who was relatively free, to look for a house, and unexpectedly found a haunted house.

"I think the location is good, and the price is cheap." Daisy stared at the photo of the three or four-year-old girl on the website, and said hesitantly, "Do you think Annabelle is so pitiful?"

"She was still so young, her mother didn't care about her, her father tortured her, she didn't feel the love of her parents, she died without seeing this beautiful world much, and her soul couldn't even rest in peace... Last night in a dream , her back is facing me, the little figure is so lonely," Daisy showed sympathy in her eyes, stroking the curly hair of the doll, "If she just wants to borrow this body, then lend it to her. I will be more A younger sister... There is something I didn't tell, in fact, I used to have a little sister, but she got sick and died when she was very young..."

As she spoke, Daisy looked sad, obviously recalling the past with her younger sister.

--It also brought back memories in Lilian's heart.

She single-handedly took care of Vivier who grew up and cherished her love, and she didn't know what was going on now.

Probably feeling sorry for Annabelle, Daisy urged Lilian to keep the puppet possessed by it temporarily, Lilian felt a little bit of pity under her influence, reluctantly agreed, and also agreed with her that if someone Even be good, then we will live in peace.

That night, Lilian was finally free from nightmares in her sleep, and woke up refreshed the next day, and saw a note on the floor of her room.

The crooked handwriting looks like a child's random graffiti, using her lipstick to draw a big "thanks" on the napkin.

"..." Lilian held the lipstick that she bought not long ago but was cut off in half, feeling itchy after encountering a naughty child.
