Since it is the classic evil-suppressing mode, there...

If he had a choice, even if he killed Mark, he would not enter a place that looked like a boss room at first glance. Unfortunately, the sound of a wooden door or window being opened came from a distance, and the sound of continuous and heavy footsteps came from afar.

It broke into Mark's ears very close.

Without any further hesitation, Mark opened the door and rushed in. In his nervousness, he did not forget to lock the door bolt again.

As you get closer to the middle of the ballroom, not only are there many broken pieces, but the hard marble floor tiles are also covered with horizontal and vertical cut marks.

After a comparison, the widest part can easily fit his index finger.

"Gu."

Subconsciously swallowing his saliva, Mark was not too sure. He instinctively realized that the culprit of all this should be the thing that looked like a square altar in the middle of the ballroom——

Following the reflector on the top of the ballroom, the cold silver moonlight formed a beam of light, like a high lamp projected on the booth.

It was a rectangular music box about the size of a lunch box!

This music box has an extremely delicate and simple shape. There is an old-fashioned metal knob next to the ebony base.

There are two circular tracks on the top of the box, one is empty, and there is an exquisite little doll on the other track.

Calling it a doll is a bit inappropriate.

Different from the fixed-action puppets on ordinary music boxes, this two-knuckle-high, metallic female humanoid object can be called a figure-level puppet.

The matchstick-thick arms and long legs are connected with movable metal joints.

She has short shoulder-length silver hair and wears a ethereal white ballet dress, with several white silk ties swaying around her shoulders.

What is heart-stopping is the face of the female puppet: three-quarters of it is made of unknown material, like a delicate face made of silicone, and the sunken part of the left forehead has an extremely realistic human bone structure. The glass eyeball seems to be inlaid with

With a small sapphire as the eye pupil.

But those bulging eyes make people feel extremely frightened and weird. Just glancing at them makes you feel like you are in a trance that you can't look away from.

It's a pity that dust is falling from the decaying ceiling in the hall...

‘It’ is coming.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

This is a heartbeat that is so intense that it cannot be calmed down!

Look around and don't hesitate.

Mark quickly put down the kerosene lamp and crawled on his hands and knees under a red chaise longue with one corner broken off.

Sliding into this gap, which is about 40 centimeters high, I felt like I was the old man next door.

As the banging sound of the ballroom door being knocked open came, Mark knew:

It has really come.

"Mark...Mark...it's okay. That monster...was beaten away by me...come out..." The murmuring voice was hoarse with a different tone. It was clear that the voice came from the gate, but it seemed to come from

A ghostly illusion.

"Bata! Bahta!"

There was a very strange sound of footsteps, and it felt like there were more than one pair of feet coming.

Mark's nerves were instantly tense to the extreme. He recognized the voice of one of his adventure companions. What was it called?

"You... don't need to hide... I know... you are here..."

The footsteps were also mixed with the faint sound of liquid dripping on the ground. As a thick smell of blood spread, Mark, who was hiding under the chair, suddenly shrank his pupils to the extreme.

Is anyone looking for it, are you moved?

Don't dare to move! Don't dare to move!

Through the dim kerosene light that rippled on the ballroom floor, a pair of bloody palms and half of a pale arm entered Mark's field of vision.

The opponent is lying on all fours, and it feels like his chest is almost touching the floor;

Immediately, its chin slowly appeared in Mark's field of vision.

He subconsciously held his breath.

No, the extreme tension and fear made him completely forget that he was still breathing at this moment, and he just stared at the other person's chin that kept moving down.

Then, there are the lower lip, upper lip, which are white to blue, and the tip of the nose like a hook.

A little bit further down, a little bit further down...

Just a little more...

Mark can see this thing's face.

Of course, this also means that the other party can also see him under the chaise longue.

Mark knew that if he had just a moment longer, he would be seen and caught, but he just didn't dare to look away.

At the moment when he was so frightened that his heart and lungs almost stopped,

The face suddenly began to rise, and its upper lip, lower lip, and chin disappeared from Mark's field of vision one after another.

The footsteps left the chaise longue and left the ballroom, getting farther and farther away.

It's gone.

Mark finally realized that he seemed to have been holding his breath for a long time, opened his mouth, and began to take big mouthfuls of air silently.

I felt dizzy due to lack of oxygen in my brain, and tears flowed from the corners of my eyes unconsciously.

Such a grown man almost wanted to cry.

Before time travel, he had never worried about anything. When he was studying, his biggest worry every day was which girl he should agree to go out on a date with tonight. When he was playing basketball, he couldn't hear the referee's whistle because there were too many girls making noise on the sidelines.

As long as he doesn't openly commit crimes, he can do whatever he wants.

There were countless opportunities placed in front of him, but he didn't know how to cherish them.

Now?

Whatever you do is fine, just don't stay in this damn world for one more second.

Just when he was cursing his fate and congratulating himself on surviving the disaster, a pale and ferocious face suddenly came into view.

Half of its face has been pulled away, revealing its scarlet eye sockets, bulging cheek muscles, and half of its gums.

With supreme malice, it spoke quietly.

"...So, you are here!"
