196 Chapter 200: Doll

Vera had a hunch that they were only one step away from finding out the truth of the matter.

But the castle was too dangerous after dark for them to stay in the doctor's room.

Eric is the one who is most afraid. He is not like Vera and Mahao trying to find clues, nor is he ignorant and fearless like Augus.

He was always staring at the changes in the sky, watching the light outside the window dimming little by little, anxious to return to his comfort zone.

Vera suggested going back to the study, and he was the first to agree, then turned around and walked towards the door.But the pioneers have always been the pioneers, and they are the first to encounter anything.

Eric just stepped out of the room when he stepped on a doll on the floor.

It was a doll with one eye missing, wearing a shabby floral dress, and her face and body were dirty.As soon as Eric stepped down, the doll sang a nursery rhyme intermittently.

"A caged bird...a caged bird..."

"I want to run out all the time..."

"The night before dawn...the moment when soul and body merge..."

"Run as hard as you can..."

"Find a hiding place..."

This doll is close to the edge of damage, and looks like an old model from more than ten years ago.The sound coming out of its body is also broken, with a strong electric sound, which is extremely uncomfortable to hear.

Eric was so frightened by the doll's terrifying singing that his hair stood on end, and the red killer-mat aircraft head was even more unconventional.

"Damn, why is this thing here?!"

Eric cursed and retracted his feet, the more he looked at the doll, the more familiar it became: "Dog, isn't this the ghost thing in the basement?"

This doll was indeed the one Vera had found in the basement.But she should have put it in the cradle in the basement, how did it come here?

And, when did this doll appear by the door?
When they came, they didn't find such a thing in the corridor.

"A bird in a cage... a bird in a cage... all the time..." The doll is still repeating its ugly song, and I don't know what the person who designed it thought?

Which baby can fall asleep after listening to this kind of singing, it's almost enough not to be scared to cry!

Eric picked up the doll from the floor and slammed it on the ground: "I'll scare you, scare you! I've thrown you, you can sing again if you have the ability!"

That doll was just an ordinary plastic toy, and it was an old model many years ago. When Eric smashed it, it immediately broke into several pieces, and a mechanical chip fell out of the chest cavity.

"Eric!" Vera stopped Eric's behavior in disapproval.

The reason why this doll appeared in the corridor is very strange. It is best not to act rashly until you know it.

However, when Eric was in charge, he would not listen to anyone's advice.He raised his foot and stepped on the mechanical chip, and stepped on the metal part into pieces a few times before he gave up unwillingly.

Vera frowned, "Eric, you are too impulsive. This doll was probably placed here by the 'doctor'."

"Okay, okay, isn't it just a doll? Let's go back to the study!" Eric looked disdainful, he didn't think stepping on a scary doll would cause any trouble.

Vera and the others should thank him, if it wasn't for his action, that scary doll would keep singing.

Eric walked towards the study impatiently, but before he took a few steps, there was an ugly, hair-raising singing voice behind him.

"The bird in the cage... run away with all your might... find a hiding place..."

Not only Eric, but the others were also frightened and froze in place.

The doll, which was supposed to be broken by Eric, sang nursery rhymes intermittently at this moment.

Its body was smashed to pieces, with only three-quarters of its head left. The sound-producing chip was torn out of the body and split into two halves, but it was still singing to itself.

Eric's legs were numb, his knees were shaking like chaff, and his words were crying: "Go back to the study, let's go back to the study!"

Needless to say, when encountering such a supernatural event, everyone wanted to go back to the study as soon as possible.

They quickened their pace and started to run, but the doll they left in the corridor stopped singing and changed its tune.

"Are you ready... Are you ready... Are you ready..." It announced the number with a mechanical voice with electric current, counting from the beginning.

"1..."

"2..."

"3..."

Until she returned to the study, she could still hear her unwavering tone.

Eric huddled in a corner, buried his face in his knees, only his eyes were exposed, and looked around warily.

Hey, this is another crazy one.

Mahao feels that Eric is also quite pitiful. He has been made into such a virtue by the ghost, and he will switch from killing Matt to becoming a magic stick.

Vera didn't comment much on Eric's state, but discussed with Ma Haohao and Eric about the nursery rhymes in the doll's mouth.

"That nursery rhyme is supposed to tell us something, what do you think it means?"

Augers muses over the lyrics to the nursery rhyme: "I'm a little lost on the words, bird in a cage, and hiding... what's behind it?"

Ma Hao read the complete nursery rhyme: "The bird in the cage wants to escape all the time. The night before dawn, the moment when the soul and body merge. Run away with all your strength and find a hiding corner."

As a genuine student master, Ma Haohao has a good memory. After only listening to it twice, he memorized the nursery rhyme, which helped Augus and Vera a lot.

"Rei, why did your memory suddenly become so good?" Vera was a little surprised. Rui was a real bad student. If she had had such a memory, she wouldn't have been at the bottom of the exam.

But now, it is obviously not the time to study the mutation of the friend's memory.

"The bird in the cage wants to run out. Do these two sentences seem to be talking about how many of us are there?" Vera only raised her mouth, and then shifted the focus to the nursery rhyme.

Mahao secretly breathed a sigh of relief, if Vera really wanted to break the casserole and ask the bottom line, she might be overwhelmed for a while.Without strict logic, it is not easy to convince this smart heroine.

A lie needs to be covered by a hundred lies, so many lies have to be improvised, forgive her for not being able to do it...

"The bird that wants to escape from the cage corresponds to us that want to escape from the castle."

Vera changed the topic and caught Ma Hao's intention. She quickly added, "The night before dawn refers to the early morning time, the moment when the soul and flesh merge. Could it be the resurrection of the soul that seizes the body... and summons the dead?" The magic circle?"

Augers asked, "And what does the last phrase 'find the hiding place' mean, referring to the study we're in now?"

"No, this sentence may need to be analyzed in conjunction with the following paragraph."

Vera listened to the faint report coming from the corridor, and expressed her opinion: "Have you ever played the game of hide-and-seek?"

"When the doll's voice stops, that 'doctor' is afraid to come to us."
