Chapter 67

On the highway, a red sedan was driving fast; the man in the driver's seat looked haggard.

His name was Jamie. Just a short while ago, he had a happy family: a beautiful wife, a good salary, and his own home in Miami. They were even preparing for pregnancy recently, hoping to welcome a little angel. Everything was so beautiful.

But all of this was destroyed on that day!

That day he went out to buy food, but as soon as he got home, he found bloodstains on the floor, followed immediately by the voice of his wife repeating in a loop.

When he followed the bloodstains and the voice to the bedroom, he was shocked to find his wife had died a miserable death, her tongue pulled out entirely, her face full of terror, and he was also suspected by the detective as the murderer.

But he knew that all of this must have something to do with that ventriloquist dummy and the rumors from his hometown.

Jamie glanced at the back seat; a smiling dummy sat quietly in the back. That was Billy, the ventriloquist dummy, and also one of the rumors.

Now, he was going back to his hometown to bury his wife, then investigate the truth behind this and clear his name.

Passing the overpass, he wasn't far from his hometown, Ravens Fall.

At this moment.

Beep! Beep! Beep!

Jamie looked at the rearview mirror and found a car behind him keeping a distance, honking its horn continuously.

???

Jamie was stunned, but any experienced driver would understand what this meant. Feeling the slight vibration and unevenness of the car body, he immediately reacted. He stuck his head out and took a look; sure enough, his rear tire was already a bit flat.

He immediately stopped at an intersection.

The car behind also stopped. A family got out, and a yellow dog's head popped out of their trunk. It seemed like a family out on a trip, and they even brought a dog.

Somehow, he saw the youth at a glance and just felt that the other party had a strong presence.

"Hi, buddy, need any help? I have a spare tire here," David asked.

That's right, the one honking to remind him was David's family. Their route to Dekesasizhou happened to pass through here, and seeing Jamie's tire uneven, they gave him a heads-up.

Jamie came back to his senses and smiled friendly, "Thanks, no need, I also have—hey?"

He opened the trunk and found that his spare tire was gone. Hiss, when did he use it?

David walked over and took a look, "Looks like you didn't replenish it in time, young man."

Saying this, he brought a spare tire from his own car. Jamie smiled embarrassedly, took the tire, and began to change it.

While changing the tire, the two grown men smoked and chatted.

"You guys are going to the small town of Ravens Fall?"

"Yeah, just passing by to take a break, it's getting late anyway. And actually, we came here a few years ago. To be honest, there aren't many people in this town; we happened to be there during a funeral back then."

"I'm going there too. In fact, I'm from there. Going back this time is to bury my wife."

"Oh?"

Jamie briefly narrated his story and received a sympathetic look from David.

Louis, who had already walked over at some point, suddenly spoke, "What's that in your back seat?"

Jamie was startled and explained, "A ventriloquist dummy that appeared in my house for no reason. In fact, it might be a bit off. I'm going back this time to investigate this too."

Louis sized up this dummy with obvious features, and Jamie, whose wife had died a miserable death.

He was already certain in his heart that the plot of Dead Silence had begun. He didn't remember much of the Dead Silence plot.

But he did remember that besides cursing the people of the town, Mary Shaw mainly killed the members of the protagonist's family.

And now that Jamie had returned, it meant that the old woman Mary Shaw had probably already killed most of the Anson family, which was why she found Jamie. Next, after some investigation, Jamie would also die at the hands of this old woman.

Mary Shaw, oh Mary Shaw...

You old hag, you wanted to lay a hand on me back then. Now that I'm back, how can I not give you some trouble?

Cold light flickered in Louis's eyes.

As a descendant of the Left Path, holding a grudge and seeking revenge was a fine tradition.

After some friendly conversation, Jamie only said he went to the town to introduce fun places and didn't invite David and the others to sit at his home. No way, his relationship with his family had always been bad.

Soon, the vehicle drove again.

And arrived at the town at dusk.

The town sign read: Place of Quiet Living—Ravens Fall.

David and the others checked into a hotel, while Jamie went home; the two parties went their separate ways.

Jamie's home was a manor. In fact, his family could be considered wealthy, but...

Click.

The door opened, and a blonde young woman looked at him with surprise, "Jamie? You're back."

"I know about Lisa. Your father is willing to provide help for you to hold a funeral for Lisa. This is true; he is... different now."

"Who are you?"

"Um, you can call me Ella. I'm your stepmother."

Understanding flashed in Jamie's eyes.

Third wife, hehe, the old guy hasn't driven her away yet this time? Rare.

Soon, under Ella's guidance, Jamie saw his father, who had suffered a stroke and was sitting in a wheelchair.

The two's communication was somewhat unpleasant, especially regarding Mary Shaw; his father directly denied his claims.

Jamie ran away in a rage.

He was going to investigate all of this.

Before leaving, he even warned Ella, "He's had a stroke now and can't hit people. Maybe you can outlive him. Don't worry, as long as you treat him normally, I don't want this manor or the property. Anyway, he never let me come back."

At this time, in the hotel.

Louis first set up the statue, then threw the chicken head over the roof. After thinking about it, he hung some peach wood statues in the second-floor corridor of the hotel. This way, even if an accident happened, it would be impossible for Mary Shaw to attack David and the others.

Afterwards, he first came to Emma's room. At this time, Emma was sneaking around, not knowing what she was looking at.

"Louis! Don't you knock when you enter my room?!"

"Less nonsense. Don't go out tonight, and remember to keep the amulet I gave you."

Emma frowned, "Is something going to happen?"

"Yeah, killing an evil spirit with a bit of a grudge."

Emma's eyes lit up instantly, but she didn't say anything about Louis taking her along, only saying, "Okay, I know."

Louis nodded with satisfaction. People who were quick-witted and obedient were not annoying.

But at this moment.

"Then why can't we leave? It would be dangerous to stay here overnight, right?"

"Oh? It's already dark, and this is the only town nearby. Do you want to spend the night in the car?"

Well, in fact, Louis just felt that with his own abilities, he was enough to kill Mary Shaw now.

After fooling Emma, Louis also came to Lunca's room. Dealing with Lunca was much more convenient.

Ever since she asked him if there was a hell last time, and Louis replied that he could send her to hell, she had been deeply convinced of the supernatural and was more obedient to Louis's words.

As for David and Jenny, David was very open to advice, especially when Louis said there was an evil spirit, so he didn't say anything more. In this regard, in a horror movie, he would count as a protagonist in the top ten percent.

David sighed after Louis left, but no way, maybe the descendants of gangsters were just like this?

However, evil spirits and such...

David's eyes were complex. He wasn't blind to the abnormalities in Louis. After so many years, how could he not see them?

Hiss, think about it, should he worship God or the Kitchen God when he goes back?

At this time.

Louis, having settled everything, touched the coal ball in his arms and walked out of the hotel.
