"Although I am sure I can unlock the combination lock, this box itself has a very bad rumor. If a demon comes out of it, I'm done." Joseph spread his hands and said so.
Before he met Robb, he would have sneered at the legends of demons and ghosts.
But with Robb, the exorcist, as his neighbor, and his own experience of the "haunted" incident, he had to be wary of similar horror legends.
Of course, sometimes having no money is more terrible than encountering a ghost.
This is why he gritted his teeth and bought this box full of doom.
Even if he really encountered a ghost, there was a real exorcist next to him to back him up.
Hearing what Joseph said, Penelope looked at the brass doll box again. She had just experienced the devil's thing a few days ago, and her face tightened. She hurriedly asked:
"What are the rumors about this box?"
Joseph looked at the doll box, swallowed his saliva and said: "It is rumored that several former owners of this box have had very strange and ominous things happen to them. Many people have disappeared strangely, or their bodies have never been found. It is said...it is said that there is a man-eating evil ghost hidden in this box. Whenever people open the box, it will start to eat people. It will not return to the box until it has eaten six people, waiting for the next opening of the box."
At the end, he pointed to a circle of stripes around the combination lock on the top of the box, and saw that the numbers "1" to "6" were engraved on it.
The pointer at this time has not pointed to any number.
Penelope took a deep breath after taking all of this in her eyes.
Whether the rumors about the box are true or not, she regretted letting Joseph put the box here.
With her small arms and legs, she was so unlucky to meet an evil ghost. She couldn't do what Robb did to her.
Speaking of ghosts, would demons be tempted by sex?
Penelope looked at her plump figure under her slim shirt and suit skirt.
Then she looked at Joseph, who was pot-bellied beside her.
Having received some teachings from Robb, she had some confidence.
If I can't outrun a ghost, I can outrun you!
Because of Joseph's ghost story, the atmosphere in the office was a little subtle at the moment.
Joseph, who noticed this, smiled awkwardly: "Don't worry, it's just a legend, don't take it seriously. Besides, even if it's true, don't worry. I've been carrying it for so long, and nothing has happened. As long as we don't open the box, it's fine."
What else could Penelope say? She could only nod.
"Let's close the box again first."
She said, now that she felt that the brass doll box was not pleasing to the eye, while pulling up the zipper of her backpack, trying to cover the doll box, so that she would not be bothered by it.
Inadvertently, her palm touched the surface of the box.
"I'll help."
Joseph said, and was about to lend a hand.
Suddenly!
Click, click~~
A sound of gears rolling was heard.
"Where did the sound come from?" Joseph was surprised.
Penelope quickly moved behind him, pointed her finger at the box and said, "The combination lock is moving!"
Joseph was startled and looked quickly.
Sure enough!
The combination lock with four groups of letters actually rolled automatically at this time.
"Obviously no one moved it!"
Joseph was stunned in place, his face full of fear and confusion.
No one answered his confusion.
Almost in an instant, the combination lock stopped, and a row of four letters appeared on the box.
Joseph, trembling in his heart, looked subconsciously.
J...A...C...K.
JACK!
Jack!
It was the name of the Jack in the Box!
Click, click!
The sound of the gears turning sounded again.
On the doll box, a shaking handle stretched out from the box surface on one side.
Looking at this scene, Joseph trembled and said, "Hey... Penelope, the handle you asked about before appeared."
As he expected, the switch handle appeared after unlocking the combination lock.
Although he was terrified, Joseph couldn't help but admire the superb skills of his predecessors at this moment. He retreated in panic and explained to Penelope.
The latter was no longer behind him.
Taking advantage of this time, Penelope quickly ran to the drawer at the front desk and took out a pistol, which would be useful whether it was to fight ghosts or people.
In front, before Joseph took a few steps back, the handle on the doll box automatically spun rapidly.
"NO! NO! NO! NO!"
As the handle turned, he saw the sealed box quickly open, thinking of the horrible rumors he had heard, and Joseph hated it.I have to grow a few more legs to escape.
But the box opened too quickly.
In the face of terror and danger, ordinary people are far less calm and composed than they think. The first reaction of more people is to stare blankly and watch the danger come with a blank mind.
Although Joseph reacted quickly, it was too late.
Bang!
The box opened completely!
Under Joseph's panicked gaze, accompanied by the sound of the spring bursting, an ugly clown doll jumped out, with an exaggerated smile facing the former, as if mocking his cowardice.
One second... two seconds... three seconds...
Nothing happened.
Except that the ugly clown doll kept its creepy smile and looked forward.
Seeing this, Joseph, who was so scared that his heart almost jumped out, breathed a sigh of relief and patted his chest repeatedly, saying, "It seems that I am suspicious. This is a normal Jack in the Box, although it is a little old and delicate."
"Sure enough, rumors are not credible. We are just scaring ourselves."
He shook his head self-deprecatingly, and walked towards the doll box while speaking.
In the back, Penelope breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that everything was indeed fine, and fortunately put down the gun she had raised.
How scared he was before, how bold he was now. Joseph came to the doll box, patted the clown doll unhappily and said, "You just scared me, you know?"
As he spoke, he checked the inside of the box. After finding nothing else, he looked at the clown doll again, curled his lips and said, "You are so ugly like this, I feel that the value of this box will be reduced a lot. If it weren't for the fact that you are also an antique, I would definitely change your face."
After speaking, he stretched out his hand and pressed the clown doll down with the spring.
However, out of his sight, the fixed clown doll's eyes suddenly moved, and it looked at Joseph above with a fierce and evil look.
Plop!
The box slammed shut.
Joseph, who had saved Robb's appearance fee after a false alarm, was in a good mood after this comparison and turned to say goodbye to Penelope.
At this moment, Penelope's face suddenly changed:
"Joseph! Be careful..."
(The clown in the box comes from the movie "The Box")
(Florida Express: A black woman tried to steal a two-meter-high Christmas tree in a supermarket in an extremely unusual way. After 60cm, she finally reached her limit and fainted due to pain after losing blood. At first, the police mistakenly thought she was a victim, but the decryption of the surveillance video made them feel that their eyes had been tainted.)
