I’m a Detective In the Marvel World
Chapter 69: Photo album
It is necessary to emphasize one point here, that is, unless it is extremely critical, very urgent, and the most dangerous moment of the world is broken, you should never try to jump down from the second and third floors.
The second and third floors do not sound high, and they do not seem to be high, but if they jump off the second and third floors, there are many cases of death and injury.
Suppose you are facing a situation where you have to jump. It is best to also need a rope or a soft object underneath.
Unless you have the same physique as Xie Lun, beyond ordinary people.
Or...like Jamie, smashed two mummy puppets with one butt. Just sit the two mummy puppets into pieces, but Jamie is nothing.
But watching the other mummy puppets coming around, Jamie is not necessarily shit.
Fortunately at this time, Xie Lun descended from the sky, waving two chair legs, smashing the surrounding mummy puppets and flying. Then he grabbed Jamie and killed him abruptly from the crowd.
"Get in my car?"
"Fart, get in my car!"
There was no room for Jamie to refuse, and Sharon directly stuffed him into the passenger seat of his car. Then slid past the front cover and got into the car neatly.
No way, Tina can't control the car without inserting the car key. But in any case, Sharon will not leave the car keys in the car.
inserted the car key quickly, and the engine roared immediately. Without Xie Lun's control, the sports car automatically engages in reverse gear, reverses the car, crashes into the crowd, then engages the front gear, enters the 100-meter speed within 2.6 seconds, and whizzes away.
"It's too fast, the speed is too fast!"
Jamie clutched the handrail tightly and screamed sternly.
Xie Lun said in a bad mood: "Stop howling, let me see what you found."
Looking at the self-driving car, Jamie turned pale and hurriedly handed the heavy black book in his arms to Sharon, and then quickly fastened his seat belt.
"What is this stuff?"
"Album!"
Looking at Xie Lun’s suspicious eyes, Jamie explained hurriedly, “It’s not an ordinary photo album, you will understand when you open it.”
Xie Lun took a deep breath and slowly opened the first page of the album.
***
One hundred and forty years, the end of the Civil War.
The extremely remote and backward town of Farravens did not suffer much from the setbacks of the war. Except for donating a sum of money to the north and the south, the residents of the small town still live as they should.
But this peaceful life, which seems to be unchanged in another hundred years, was completely broken with the arrival of a female puppeteer named Mary Shaw.
***
"This is my brother, this is my dad..."
Jamie's lips trembled slightly, pointing to the photo on the album to explain.
"And this woman, although I can't remember her appearance, the name noted from the photo should be my mother..."
Jamie couldn't help it anymore, big tears gushing out.
Xie Lun's face is also very ugly, because the photo album is not a simple portrait, but a photo of a human being made into a puppet.
Looking at the pictures, they are lifelike, but their faces are pale, with red cheeks, and the well-dressed dolls, even if they kill people without blinking, Xie Lun feels a little sick.
Thick albums, roughly calculated that there are at least hundreds of photos in them. In other words, there are at least hundreds of dead souls hidden in it.
And this album is a little old, because in the first few album pages, it was not photos, but portraits, which showed that there was no camera at that time, or it had not yet begun to spread.
"Mary Shaw did it all?"
"Absolutely," Jamie gritted his teeth. "Look at the first page of the album. It is the weird nursery rhyme. On the last page, it is a portrait of Mary Shaw when she was burned to death. And where the body was buried."
Xie Lun shook his head: "This just shows that this album is not Mary Shaw's. Perhaps everything was done by Mary Shaw back then, but now these things should be good things done by your stepmother, Ella."
"Why?" Jamie said bitterly, "Without grievances and revenge, why did she do such a thing."
"Either Mary Shaw’s descendants, or her admirers."
There is one word that Shaw did not say, and there is another possibility that Ella may be possessed by Mary Shaw.
Or, she is Mary Shaw herself!
"But in either case, she has a problem with leaving this album." Xie Lun looked at Jamie quietly, "She is guiding you to dig into Mary Shaw's past."
Jamie was a little confused: "Where did you see it?"
"It's very simple, whether she tells you the nursery rhyme about Mary Shaw through your father's mouth. Or she leaves this album on purpose to let you know what Mary Shaw has done. All reveal this information, that is to let you Go to Mary Shaw’s grave."
Xie Lun closed the photo album and said in a deep voice: "This is a murderous plot. She killed your wife to lure you back home. And she left this photo album to force you to follow the path she laid."
"why?"
Xie Lun shook his head.
Jamie took a deep breath and nodded: "Okay, I want to see what secrets are hidden in Mary Shaw's grave."
"It is more likely that there is some terrible trap hidden there, waiting for us to step in."
Xie Lun took over the right to drive the car with a cold face~lightnovelpub.net~ Under the guidance of the map left in the album, he drove the car along the rugged dirt road for a long time before he stopped in front of a lake.
"It should be here." Xie Lun stood by the lake, looking at the hazy building hidden in the mist in the distance, frowning, "Is that Mary Shaw's grave?"
"There is a dock and a boat here," Jamie said in a deep voice, "Let's paddle over and take a look."
"Even the boat is ready for us, so sweet."
Xie Lun sneered and shook his head.
This time he brought all his weapons and equipment, and even tied a scimitar on his calf, just for close combat.
After everything was prepared, Xie Lun and Jamie boarded the boat and rowed carefully to the opposite side of the lake.
At this time, the sun had set and white mist was still rising on the lake. Even if Xie Lun turned on the bright flashlight, it would not be able to illuminate much distance.
I don't know how long it has been. It may be five or six minutes, but it may be as fast as half an hour. A wharf that is obviously in disrepair appeared in front of Xie Lun.
Xie Lun jumped up first, and after making sure that the surroundings were safe, he pulled Jamie up. Then Jamie was in charge of the lighting, Sharon took the gun, and the two slowly walked inside one after the other.
When they walked past the pier and came to the building hidden in the mist, Xie Lun and Jamie could only see that it was a tall and shabby Western-style theater.
The wooden walls are covered with holes. Perhaps because of the construction on the water, the surroundings are all wet and covered with moss.
Looking at the black hole in front of the theater gate, it is like a monster hiding in the dark with its blood spouting mouth wide open. Jamie swallowed nervously, looked back at Xie Lun, and when Xie Lun nodded, he walked inward with a tremor.
