Chapter 70 The protagonist is a bit reckless
The cemetery was filled with faint smoke in broad daylight, adding a hint of weirdness to the already heavy atmosphere. Jimmy unknowingly walked deeper and deeper towards the goal, and Xiao Zhi was about to go over. Someone next to him suddenly walked over and said, "Did you see her kill your wife?"
It turned out to be Marianne, the wife of the funeral home administrator, who was holding a dead crow mummy in her hand, staring at Jimmy with dark circles on her face and said nervously: "You see, she was there when your wife was killed!" Jimmy was startled by him, and she hadn't reacted yet: "Yes, I'm sorry, what did you say?"
"Maryan, why are you running out again!"
The funeral home administrator, Old Henry, walked over and hugged Old Marian. He looked at Jimmy apologetically: "I'm sorry, we have to leave..."
Old Marian was hugged by her husband and walked out. She kept looking back at Jimmy and shouting, "Remember to bury the puppet, and be sure to bury it, remember..."
Jimmy watched the old couple leave blankly, turned around and found a tombstone wrapped in weeds beside her. She reached out to push the weeds away. This was an old tombstone covered with dust, with a shocking name on it: Mary Xiao. Footsteps came from behind. Jimmy turned around quickly and saw an Asian-faced young man.
He seemed to have an impression of the person in front of him, and after a moment he remembered it.
This man is named Xiao Zhi, and his family immigrated from Asia. His parents seemed to have been cursed for six or seven years, leaving him alone to work in the supermarket in the town to support himself...
Before Jimmy could speak.
Xiao Zhi smiled and said softly: "Mary Xiao's eyes are glaring at the man, and the puppet always holds her. If you meet her in a dream, don't open your mouth and scream." After reading this old poem, he smiled slightly: "First receive the puppet that came inexplicably, then his wife dies, and the death is almost the same as the curse."
Jimmy's eyes turned red, and he grabbed Xiao Zhi's collar with both hands: "You know everything, and say, did you send that puppet to you, did you kill my wife? What hatred do we have!"
Xiao Zhi clasped his hands and stretched out Jimmy's arm from the middle, grabbed his wrist and twisted it, lifted his foot and kicked him back! Jimmy, who was two heads taller than him, knelt on the ground, his arms were locked and unable to move. Xiao Zhi said lightly: "Don't be impulsive, because my parents died like this seven years ago..."
As he said that, he pushed Jimmy to the ground and reached out to caress Mary Shaw's tombstone: "The curse spreads in this small town. The puppets buried with Mary Shaw have disappeared. They are Mary Shaw's clones. Wherever they appear, Mary Shaw's killing will appear."
Xiao Zhi spoke very directly, and he was afraid that speaking too high-end would make Jimmy confused.
Jimmy was in a state of confusion when his wife Lisa died. He bet on his chest that he could not release his breath. Although he also wondered whether it was the legendary curse of Mary Shaw in the small town that killed Lisa, he had not seen Mary Shaw not able to judge the authenticity of the curse...
Now a person from the same town who had the same experience came out to verify his doubts. Jimmy seemed to have caught a life-saving straw, and quickly got up and grabbed Xiao Zhi's hands. Perhaps because he was captured just now, he hurriedly retracted: "I'm sorry, my wife is still very young, and she still has..." When he said this, the seven-foot man's tears came out directly, and it really hit the weak point.
Xiao Zhi knew what he wanted to say: "Mary Xiao's curse will not end. If you want to temporarily get rid of the curse, you just need to find a place to bury or burn the puppet you got. But if there are still puppets in the future, you still have to continue doing this, otherwise people will continue to die..."
Jimmy's old father was a violent maniac. He first beat his first wife to death and then beat him away his second wife.
Jimmy spent his childhood almost in the shadows. After he had enough ability to be independent, he immediately took his wife and couldn't wait to leave the town. The curse was just one reason, and more because of this father.
So the only one who can give Jimmy warmth is this wife. The two have a deep relationship. Now that his wife is dead, Jimmy feels ashamed. He gritted his teeth and asked word by word: "If you want to kill Mary Shaw, I mean completely destroying her soul!"
Oh ~~~
Xiao Zhi smiled: "The way to eliminate Mary Xiao is actually very simple. According to my years of investigation, her soul can freely appear near every puppet she made with her hands, scare people and launch fatal attacks when they scream! If you eliminate her, you only need to find out the 101 puppets she made during her lifetime and her body bones burned to ashes."
101 puppets!
Jimmy was so confused that he heard this number!
Even if the puppets with only half of the numbers are scattered in various parts of the town, it would be a huge project for him to find! And he dared not guess that some puppets had been scattered to the city outside the town, so that they would really be looking for a needle in a haystack...
But no matter how great the difficulty is, it cannot withstand the grief in his heart. Without revenge, Jimmy could hardly imagine how to face his wife and even the unborn child! Thinking of this, he clenched his fists and smashed it hard on the ground, and looked fiercely at Mary Shaw's tombstone: "Then I will destroy her bones first!"
From time to time, new coffins will be transported in to bury in the cemetery, and one or two shovels will always fall. Jimmy grabbed a rusty shovel and dug it desperately!
Xiao Zhi said lightly: "There is no Mary Xiao's body inside."
Jimmy paused for a moment, but the shovel in his hand still did not stop and dug it harder. After half an hour of struggle, he successfully dug out Mary Xiao's coffin! He used the shovel to pry open the coffin, and there was indeed no corpse inside as Xiao Zhi said...
But he did not give up and dug up the tombstones next to Mary Shaw. The small tombstones were marked with the names of Mary Shaw's puppets, but like Mary Shaw's corpse, they were not in the small coffin. Xiao Zhi narrowed his eyes, and Jimmy was indeed a somewhat stubborn person as in the plot.
Jimmy, who had no gains, suddenly remembered something: "I brought the puppet Billy who killed Lisa, right in the motel! I'll go back and burn it to ashes right now!" As she said that, she threw down the shovel and ran away on her own...
Xiao Zhi: "..."
He had the urge to hammer this guy to death!
In the plot, Jimmy returned to the motel in the middle of the night and took the puppet Billy to the cemetery to bury it. As a result, as soon as he was buried, the puppet at the back was dug out by a policeman. It turned out that the police had always suspected that Jimmy had killed his wife Lisa and then made up lies to confuse others...
Jimmy hasn't been scared by Mary Shaw's soul yet, and he doesn't know the seriousness of the matter.
When he was so scared that he crawled all over the floor, his IQ should be +1...
