I'm wandering in the world

Chapter 45 Edith

Lucas's home is even simpler than it looks from the outside. Apart from the daily necessities, there are basically no purely decorative items...

Although he is almost useless in dealing with ghosts, Chen Qingyuan still admires his perseverance in pursuing his relatives.

How many people can have such a firm and strong sense of family ties to do these things? Chen Qingyuan didn't even dare to say that he could persist for five years.

At this moment, Lucas looked at his two nieces and sighed, "When they disappeared with my brother, Victoria was three years old and Lily was one year old. When I went to pick them up just now, Lily was full of fear and was very reluctant to contact us. Fortunately, Victoria was more accepting of us..."

He stood up and poured Chen Qingyuan a glass of cold water, and continued, "It's hard for me to imagine how the two sisters managed to survive in an old wooden house for five years. The search and rescue personnel said there were piles of cherry pits in the house, and speculated that the sisters might have survived by eating cherries, but... how can eating this for a long time have a balanced nutrition, and it is impossible for them to have their current body shape. The correct appearance is only skin and bones..."

Chen Qingyuan asked: "What are you doubting?"

Lucas scratched his hair and said, "I feel like I'm a little neurotic, even a little crazy. I always feel like they should be taken care of by someone. Forget it, it's useless to dwell on this. Let's send them to the hospital to have their health checked."

it is good!
Chen Qingyuan was just waiting for this topic to come up!
When he watched the movie, he had a question.

There are some details in the play from the beginning to the end, such as the Victoria sisters recording fragments of their lives in the form of paintings. There are many scattered crayon drawings in the old house where they have lived for five years, and there are also many life "diaries" on the walls.

One of the paintings showed a scene where several wild wolves were surrounding my sister. There was blood in the wolves' mouths and on my sister's neck.

In the second painting, all the wolves are dead, and the sister is "standing" there with her four legs facing the ground like a wild beast, with a weird appearance.

At the end of the movie, the evil ghost Edith wanted to take the two girls with her. Victoria was older and had some ability to distinguish. She knew that Edith, her "mother", was a ghost and was unwilling to go with her. However, her younger sister Lily believed that Edith was her real mother and insisted on going with her. Edith simply wrapped Lily up and turned into a butterfly and disappeared...

Chen Qingyuan expressed some doubts about his sister Lily's vital signs.

Did the younger sister die when she was attacked by the wolves? After all, the possibility of a child that young resisting the fangs and claws of the wolves and surviving was zero. And according to the details of the painting, Lily was already lying on the ground bleeding.

In the end, the younger sister and the evil spirit Edith turned into butterflies together. Is this Edith's special ability, or is the younger sister already dead so she turned into a butterfly?
Chen Qingyuan took out his mobile phone to check the text message.

The mission requirements are: [Please help Lucas to prevent his niece Lily from going with the evil spirits, and help her recognize the reality and return to human life.]

There is no detailed explanation of the sister's vital signs.

Chen Qingyuan also sighed as Lucas spoke and said, "Since you want to send the child to the hospital, I'll go with you. With more people by his side, the child won't be lonely and scared..."

Lucas didn't refuse; he had little money left.

At the hospital, after the director learned about Lucas's situation, he specially asked several doctors to come and help check. Through instrument X-ray and human eye recognition, it was found that there was nothing wrong with the two sisters. On the contrary, they were in good health...

in other words.

Both elder sister Victoria and younger sister Lily are alive.

There was a fifty-year-old psychiatrist in the hospital who felt very sympathetic about the sisters' experience and was also very curious about what they had experienced to survive. He talked to their elder sister Victoria, who said: "It was our mother who took care of us. She showed us stories in her dreams. It was a story about a woman who escaped from a mental hospital, snatched a child and jumped into the lake..." It was this story that made the doctor feel that there must be something fishy. In order to conduct a more in-depth investigation and research, he even contacted the hospital to provide Lucas with a house to live in in the name of research.

Chen Qingyuan sat on a bench in the corridor outside the doctor's office.

The Bagua Jade Talisman on his chest remained warm the entire time, indicating that Edith was wandering around the hospital in an invisible state.

At the beginning of the movie, as the sisters were rescued and reintegrated into human society, they came into contact with more and more people, especially their closeness with their uncle Lucas continued to increase. This directly annoyed Edith, who was jealous and tried to kill Lucas and his girlfriend several times...

But Victoria persuaded them all to stop.

There are many good people in this drama, and Victoria is more like a mature little adult. It's a pity that her experience and age are there, and her abilities are limited...

Chen Qingyuan slowly stood up and tried to get the sisters out of Edith's control. It was very difficult at the moment. In addition, Edith was a foreign ghost, and his behavior was very different from that in oriental movies. He was not sure he could catch her for the time being...

He asked Lucas for his cell phone number and the address of his new house, then left the hospital.

Investigate the truth of that year!

100 years ago, the mental hospital closed down and a new orphanage was established. The nuns were responsible for taking in orphans and raising them. Edith suddenly appeared and broke into the monastery, killed the nun with a sharp branch, snatched a child and ran away. While being chased by everyone, she had no choice but to jump off the cliff into the lake and drowned. The child also died while hanging on the branch.

He wants to investigate what happened to the dead child. If Edith is really the mother, then why should the monastery raise the child for her just because she is a mental patient?
Clifton Forge, Douthat Lake.

Chen Qingyuan came to this place alone in a taxi. The Dutat Lake was picturesque, with waves sparkling in the breeze and countless golden lights flashing in the evening sun. Who would have thought that a mentally ill person had drowned in the lake and turned into an evil spirit?
This is the situation.

He suddenly remembered an old movie "The Corpse in the Mountain Village", which also had a woman in a lake. However, for Edith, Chu Renmei was a corpse thrown into the water, full of resentment. She was good at oriental ghost aesthetics and used illusions to the extreme, scaring several people to death...

There is a brown hut on the edge of Dutat Lake.

Chen Qingyuan walked forward with his bag on his back and pushed the door open. A creaking sound was heard, and the smell of decay rushed towards him. He took out the flashlight he bought outside the hospital from his backpack, pressed the button, and the light came on to dispel the darkness in the room. It was evening now, and the room shouldn't be so dark...

The light swept across the room, and the exaggerated pile of cherry pits piled up on the ground like a small hill, next to which were a lot of moth wings and the skeletons of some small animals such as mice and rabbits.

His eyes fell on the wall, where crooked pictures were outlined with colored crayons. The dark tones and distorted style looked eerie in the gloomy and terrifying atmosphere.

Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle…

The flashlight began to flicker, sometimes on and sometimes off, and the jade talisman on the chest suddenly began to heat up!
Chen Qingyuan saw a mass of black hair emerging from the wall in the flickering light. It was growing wildly. His heart was pounding. His sister was still in the hospital for examination. He was very low-key. Why did Edith follow him? Could it be that this house was like a den of ghosts, and he would be discovered if he walked in?

He reached into his backpack and stepped back, his eyes fixed on Edith as she slowly crawled out of the wall.
