Chapter 1820 Listen to the thin man tell stories
This ghost story that Skinny remembers, like most stories from the past, begins with "long, long ago".
"A long time ago, there was a little girl named Lina. On her birthday, she received a doll given to her by her parents as a birthday gift. Lina was very happy and helped the doll comb her hair, change her clothes, and carry her dolls with her in everything she did. Lina called her doll sister, and her parents were also called Doll Sister, and she regarded the doll as a part of the family.
"A few years passed like this, the doll became old and Lina also had new toys. She threw the doll aside and stopped carrying the doll all day. When Lina didn't know, the doll fell under the bed and no one noticed it for many years.
"Lina grew up, met a boy, fell in love with him, and was about to get married. They were going to move to their new home. While packing up, Lina did not find the doll under the bed.
"They soon had a baby. When the baby was born, both of them were very happy. Lina held the baby all day long, as if he was her treasured thing. But two or three years later, Lina became pregnant again, threw her eldest son aside, and took care of her later children wholeheartedly.
"It took a long time before the couple found out that their eldest son was missing. Their neighbors asked them where the children were, and they didn't know. They searched everywhere, searched at home, searched in small towns. When they saw people, they asked, 'Have you seen our children?' Everyone answered no.
"They searched for it like this and walked to the vicinity of the house where Lina originally lived. An old lady told them that she saw a girl leading their son to there.
"The old lady pointed her finger at the house where Lina originally lived.
"Lina didn't remember that her husband also forgot about this. The two hurriedly ran to the old house. The house had never lived in it. The house was covered in dust.
"Lina was calling her son in the house, and she gradually remembered where this place was. Lina felt scared and wanted to leave. Her husband also wanted to find her son.
"They walked to the room where Lina originally lived and heard the sound of 'mom' and 'mom' screams coming from the room. Lina was even more scared. Her husband pushed open the door and rushed in.
"In the room, their eldest son sat on the bed, smiled at Lina and her husband at the door. He didn't move his mouth, but made a sound, calling his mother.
"Lina's husband did not notice the abnormality, so he stepped forward and hugged his son, crying with joy. Lina and the child looked at each other and found that the child had not blinked, maintaining the same expression, motionless. When the child was picked up, it seemed that there was no bones, his limbs were hanging, his head drooped, and he leaned against the man's arm.
"Lina's husband walked towards Lina with his child in his arms and happily told Lina that the child had been found. They should take care of the child with more care in the future.
"Linna saw clearly what the child looked like. The child had no breathing or heartbeat, and was a corpse.
"Lina screamed and ran out of the house, not caring about the bodies of her husband and son. She ran all the way, and when she passed the old lady's house, she found that the old lady was staring at her through the window, looking gloomy and terrifying. There was no one on the road, and many houses here were empty, but it seemed that someone looked out of the window of the house and looked at her.
"Lina ran all the way to the home where she lives. She ran out of that neighborhood and saw people and heard the sounds of people's lives. But when she got home and closed the door, she found that her home was very quiet and there was no sound at all.
"Lina remembered her other child and ran to the bedroom to check. She stopped at the bedroom door and heard the conversation coming from the room. It was her husband's voice and the laughter of the two children.
"Lina was so scared that she wanted to escape again. The bedroom door opened automatically, allowing Lina to see the scene in the room. Her husband was holding her eldest son and standing by the cradle. The laughter of her other child came from the cradle. The father and son did not move at all, and there was a expression on his face, hugging each other, watching the movements of the children in the cradle without changing. They were all dead. But their voices could still be heard.
"Lina ran away again in fear. This time, she couldn't run out. The door was locked. She heard strange footsteps, and it seemed like someone was jumping on the wooden floor. She also heard the sound of her husband and son calling her.
"Linna hid. From the gap in the cabinet, she saw her husband walking down the stairs. Her husband jumped down, his knees without toys, his feet without swinging back and forth, and he jumped down straight. His movement of holding the child remained unchanged.
"They have poor eyesight and are slow to move. Lina hides from them and runs back to the bedroom room. She sees the children in the cradle also become corpses and giggles.
"Her husband chased after him again. Lina had to hide under the big bed. She saw her husband's feet jumping past the bed, and she was so scared that she cried silently.
"Suddenly, she felt something touching her feet. Lina turned around. It was too dark under the bed and could not see anything. Lina had to reach out to touch it. She touched a dirty doll.
"When Lina took the doll in front of her, her husband lay on the ground, his face pressed against the bottom of the bed and said, "I found you!". Her husband and two children flew under the bed. Lina's scream came from under the bed. After a while, the conversation between their family came from under the bed.
"Lina called the names of the two children and the name of 'sister', like this family is a happy and harmonious family of five."
The thin man finished the story seriously and ended with "THE END" in some spoofs.
Gu Mo had a look of trying to hit the thin man, "Do you need to say this?! Is this the time for you to be a fool?"
"No. This story ends here, but the ghost story is not over yet." The thin man quickly said, "This story is spreading in some place, a foreign town. That town became a ghost town, and all residents died for decades. This incident was regarded as an accident caused by the spread of the plague. Later, a witch passed by that town and saw the whole thing, and the truth was revealed. The town still exists now, and countless people's resentful spirits gathered there. Their bodies were made into dolls and held wine under the bed. Every year on Lina's birthday, the bodies in the town would come out to celebrate Lina's birthday and celebrate the dolls. On that day, those who arrived in the town would stay in the town forever and be regarded as ghost dolls."
The thin man raised a finger and said, "That nursery rhyme was passed on like this. I don't remember all the lyrics, but the content is the story that is told anyway. People who attend birthday parties will be left forever, turned into toys, played together, and never separated. Some of the content is the content of birthday songs. It's probably that."
The thin man held up his hand and continued, "And, some people who are dying will take the initiative to participate in this matter. It is a very famous event in the supernatural circle. Every year, some people will disappear. The police also intervened in the investigation and blocked the town. The municipal plan will change the land for other purposes. After that, the town will disappear. But on that day of each year, the town will reappear on the original site. To enter the town, you must bring a special toy with you and sing the nursery rhyme."
"Has THE END?" Gu Mo complained.
