The horizontal panel on the wooden door was pulled open, revealing a long dark gap. The dark environment inside did not reveal a trace of light, and it was even more dead than at night.
Just then a stiff arm stretched out, and the index finger of that hand pointed at William Marshall's nose, which did not give him any face as the Minister of Defense and Suppression.
Victor stared at the hand and saw that the palm was covered by a burlap glove. The cuffs on the arms were sewn into the burlap gloves. No trace of skin was exposed, and it was impossible to determine the age and gender of the person inside.
William Marshall was not unhappy with this rude move. He coughed and said only one sentence: "It's me..."
Hearing his voice, the hand pointing at his nose lowered, knocked hard on the door panel, then changed his movements and raised his middle finger towards William.
Victor raised his eyebrows. If anyone dared to provoke him like this, he would probably chop off the hand directly.
However, William had a good temper. He did not get angry even in the rain, but continued to persuade: "Don't be like this, Daisy, you know I won't come to you for no reason."
Upon hearing the name, Victor judged that the person inside should be a woman.
Judging from the height of the door frame, the woman was very tall, probably as tall as the female orangutan Isabel.
"I always meet some strange women." Victor kept complaining in his heart.
The raised middle finger was lowered, and the hand was like a puppet with its strings broken, unable to rest outside the door.
A few seconds passed, it stretched back, and then Victor heard the sound of the door bolt being pulled open.
Sure enough, the door opened, and what appeared in front of them was a narrow corridor.
William rushed in quickly, and Victor followed. As soon as they entered the door, they took off their soaked coats and stared at the environment inside the house.
The strange thing is that the person who opened the door just now has disappeared.
At this moment, a shadow appeared from the end of the corridor. It was holding a lamp and its figure almost blocked the narrow corridor.
"Daisy...Long time no see." William spoke to the shadow, and Victor saw clearly the appearance of the person in the light.
It's a strange thing, I don't even know if it can be called a human being.
Its entire head is completely like a pumpkin, it is covered with a large robe, and it walks like a puppet controlled by strings.
Judging from his height, the hand that was stretched out just now should belong to this guy.
William called it Daisy... Victor suddenly felt a chill in his heart.
Then, the tall pumpkin-headed monster turned around, walked into the corridor, and made way for them.
William motioned for Victor to follow him, but after taking a few steps, he saw a look of confusion in the latter's eyes.
So, he explained: "The world is a big place, and some guys with special skills always have some quirks."
Victor felt uncomfortable with such an atmosphere, and he asked William softly what the pumpkin head was.
William didn't answer and just asked Victor to follow him.
The two of them walked through the narrow corridor one after the other and arrived at the slightly spacious living room.
The pumpkin head put down the oil lamp, illuminating the environment in the middle, and then he went upstairs and disappeared into the darkness.
It was gone, and William groped for the coat hanger and hung the coat on it.
Victor did not hang up his clothes, but found a stool to sit down.
As soon as he sat down, he vaguely noticed that there were various sculptures around the room, and some specimens of animal heads hung on the walls. Whether they were sculptures or specimens, their postures were very weird, without any sense of beauty, and
It is not a shape that can be produced by normal joints, and it presents a distorted state.
For example, there is a sculpture of a pair hugging each other and kissing. Their lower bodies are twisted nearly 180 degrees, their legs and bodies are facing opposite sides, and only their lips are touching.
This twisted movement is just like the twisted habit of the owner of the house that Victor felt - who would put a big pumpkin on his head?
"How long do we have to wait?" Victor asked William in the dark who had just sat down next to him, but what he heard back was a heavy snore.
William Marshall actually fell asleep in this environment?
Victor was speechless. Although he knew that this guy's secret was a sleeper, he wouldn't fall asleep just a second after sitting down, right?
Moreover, this house is full of weirdness, the statues with strange postures feel like they are alive, and all eyes seem to be staring at the two of them...
etc!
Victor suddenly discovered that the eyes of the statues and specimens in this house were really all facing him! It was clearly not like this just now!
The pair of statues, which were originally hugging each other and kissing, now parted their mouths and turned their faces towards Victor at the same time.
Their postures became even weirder, and Victor was convinced that this place was full of evil!
He put his hand into his pocket, ready to cast a fire spell at any time.
At this time, there was a movement on the table. Something climbed up to the oil lamp put down by the Pumpkin Monster, disrupting the light and shadow in the room. In the flickering, Victor felt that it was like a big spider.
He called William, but received no response, but the "big spider" was frightened. It swung and knocked over the oil lamp with a pop.
Victor's expression changed suddenly, and he rushed over to catch the oil lamp to prevent it from breaking and causing a fire.
Fortunately, the thing was strong enough, the lampshade was not broken, and the light inside was not extinguished. But when he lifted the lamp, he was shocked to see a human hand grabbing the back of the oil lamp!
"Fuck!" He was so frightened that he shouted a curse. Just as he was about to let go, the hand suddenly bounced over like a flea and landed on Victor's face!
It turned out that it was a severed hand! What I saw just now was not a "big spider" at all, but this severed hand!
Victor frantically threw it away, staggered and fell backwards, hitting William directly.
William was snoring, but he finally woke up after being hit, rubbed his eyes and found that he was lying on the ground.
He stood up and raised the oil lamp, and saw Victor also getting up from the ground and rubbing his butt.
"What happened? Agent 99."
Victor stared at the severed hand just hiding at the edge of the light, pointed at it and said: "There is something strange in this room! Look there!"
William looked casually at the severed hand at the end of the light. Just as he was about to speak, all the sculptures and specimens around him started to move.
Those twisted sculptures came to life, twisting their joints to move closer to the two of them, making creaking sounds from their bodies.
It turns out that they are not sculptures, but dolls...
The animal specimens began to become manic, the crows flapped their wings and screamed, and the elk heads on the wall also grinned and "singed"...
The whole house became extremely "active".
Just when Victor couldn't help but want to shoot, William grabbed his hand.
"Don't mess around, Daisy is just joking with you."
"Who is Daisy?" Victor threw William away. He felt like he was being driven crazy by this guy.
Then, the sound of gentle footsteps came from the shadows, and the first thing that appeared at the edge of the light was a pair of red boots.
Victor looked above the color and found a little girl with double braids, pale skin, and thick eyeshadow standing there...
She was wearing a black and white plaid skirt, a white shirt with a black bow at the collar. Except for her red boots, the rest of her body was black and white, full of gothic style.
Victor suddenly realized who Daisy was in William's mouth.
He saw the tall pumpkin-headed monster appearing behind the little girl, and also saw the strange severed hand climbing up the little girl's skirt and onto her shoulder...
