Putting the music box next to the unconscious Susan, Yu Xing turned his attention to the photo.
This is a family portrait.
The photo was not carefully preserved and cracks have appeared on it. There are five people standing in the entire picture, none other than the Brown family.
This is probably a family photo from a long time ago. The three children have not grown up. Susan seems to be only ten years old, and the eldest Angel also looks very immature.
Fortunately, Yu finally knew what Angel looked like.
Like Mrs. Brown and Susan, Angel also has blond hair and stands with his younger brother Alex, smiling peacefully.
It's just that she deliberately stayed away from other family members, as if she was resisting something.
Mrs. Brown held her husband's hand and smiled brightly, but Yu Xing could see that her hand was very strong, imprisoning Mr. Brown so that he could not escape.
Alex was very close to his sister, and Susan was expressionless.
"This photo only proves that Angel may have inherited Mrs. Brown's mental illness. It also reflects the relationship between the family, which is a bit tasteless to me." Yu Xing had no intention of taking the photo away, and finally opened the diary.
Susan's handwriting is not pretty at all, it looks like a dog crawling.
She didn't seem to be keeping a diary, nor did she write down the date. She seemed to write a few sentences at random whenever she wanted to, most of which were accusations full of resentment.
However, the amount of information is surprisingly large.
[Angel is really annoying. We are obviously the same, but she always acts like she is dissatisfied with herself. Isn’t it her genes that she is dissatisfied with? Isn’t it that she dislikes the crazy factor in our bodies? 】
[She seems to always think that the "normal people" outside are better and always imitate them. What, what can be changed by imitating them? Angel, my mother is a madman, I am a madman, you can't escape it, you are also a madman! 】
[The elegance and sunshine that Angel is proud of do not belong to her at all. This idiot Alex is still looking at her, fantasizing about leaving this home with her, stop dreaming! 】
[Mom is a fool, and so are you!]
【Dad painted a mountain scene, I like it very much.】
[Mom yelled at Dad horribly, saying that Dad wanted to escape from the mountains and tore up the mountain view. Ha, this woman is so disgusting. Doesn’t she know that treating her husband like this will only push him further away?
God, my genes are so bad, it’s all her fault.]
[Dad killed mom, I saw it. He covered my mouth to prevent me from screaming, but I just wanted to tell dad that mom was in the painting behind him, and mom was looking at him.]
【Mom is back, dad is crazy.】
[Does my mother know that I have grown up? She puts me to bed every day and makes it seem like I am so close to her. In fact, I am almost sick to death. At this time, I feel a little envious of Angel and Eli.
, they are like transparent people at home, Angel can learn to make dolls, Eli is getting better and better at chess, and only I am like a child.]
[My mother started killing people. She deceived outsiders into the house and killed them. She shuttled through the oil paintings. It was terrifying. I have to find a way. I can't be trapped here for the rest of my life. 】
【I helped my mother keep the guests.】
【Angel and Eli are scared.】
[A man who calls himself a wizard came to the house today. I can’t even see his face clearly. He seems to like Angel very much. Haha, that Angel who thinks very highly of himself and looks down on our genes.]
[Alex went to the garden, what was he doing? Damn it, I heard singing tonight.]
[Angel has insomnia. She hates that part of the song. I can see that she is uneasy. Hey, hey, I suddenly like that part of the song. 】
[Other things appeared at home. In addition to oil paintings, even dolls moved. This doll was wearing the clothes of the old lady who came to the house yesterday. 】
[The wizard found me and told me that this music box can make me no longer afraid of paintings and dolls. It’s such a good thing! I asked him what the conditions were? He said that Angel locked himself in the attic and refused to come down, and I had to keep an eye on her.
, we can’t let her die.]
[I really don’t know what’s good about Angel, I hate her!]
[The wizard left, and Angel disappeared from my sight. I knew where she was, and our whole family knew it, but no one could bring her down. Alex often went up to look for Angel for this reason, but it was to no avail.
】
[I hate Alex because he looks at me the same way as before, like he's looking at a dirty rat.]
The diary basically ends here. It can be seen that the time span is very large. In addition, there is also a person in the diary that Yu Xing has heard of for the first time - the wizard.
Angel's location has been determined, it is in the attic, and judging from the records in the diary, it seems that she is not dead yet.
Except for the beginning when Mrs. Brown turned into a ghost and wandered around the villa after her death, all the remaining abnormalities seemed to be related to the wizard. If Angel had not died, the ability to control the doll probably came from the wizard professor, and this wizard was very crucial.
But the wizard is gone.
Yu Xing closed his eyes and thought clearly. He felt that the wizard must have left something in the villa and he could look for it tomorrow.
…
The next day, the door to the next door opened, and soon Mrs. Brown knocked on the door.
Yu Xing came out of his room on the second floor, washed briefly, and followed Mrs. Brown down to the living room.
He is in good spirits, as if he had a good sleep last night. The main task [find a solution and not be killed by ghosts tonight] has been completed, indicating that the first day was passed safely.
It was eight o'clock in the morning. He sat down on the sofa and watched Mrs. Brown knocking on the door to wake up York and Martha-the two slept separately after all.
After they came out, they all breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Yu Xing on the sofa. Then the three of them exchanged glances, and while Mrs. Brown went to call Susan and Alex, Yu Xing waved to York and handed it to him.
Same thing.
"What do you mean?" York raised his eyebrows.
"Take it, it's useful." Yu Xing came to York's ear and whispered the arrangement, which made the curious Martha puff out her cheeks unwillingly.
After a while, Alex came out, and Susan finally came to the hall, holding the music box and looking very bad.
"What's the matter, Susan? Didn't you sleep well?" Mrs. Brown was very concerned about her, but Susan just hummed softly and gave no explanation.
She kept glancing at Yu Xing from the corner of her eye, coldly and resentfully.
The breakfast was cooked by Mrs. Brown, and it tasted pretty good. The six of them sat around the dining table and finished the meal in a strange atmosphere.
After eating, Yu Xing wiped his mouth with a tissue and smiled at Mrs. Brown: "It's time for my friends and I to leave. I'm sorry for disturbing you all night."
Mrs. Brown immediately said: "Please don't say that, Roy, it was our family that scared you. As the owner, I think I failed."
As she spoke, she opened the door for the three guests, and then opened her eyes wide: "Ah, it's raining heavily outside, what should I do?"
In order for the deducers to stay reasonably, it rained all night, leaving a layer of water on the road at the door. The soil in the garden was muddy, and petals knocked down by raindrops could be seen everywhere.
What else can be done?
Yu Xing took advantage of the situation and begged to stay one more day, and Mrs. Brown happily agreed.
