I’m a Detective In the Marvel World
Chapter 76: The truth
One hundred and forty years ago, the town of Farranvins.
"Mrs. Mary Shaw, your performance just now was very good." A middle-aged man showed great hospitality to the beautiful woman in front of him, "I don't know if I have time for a while, would you like a drink?"
The beautiful woman who is almost identical to Ella smiled embarrassedly: "Mayor Edward, I'm sorry, I have an appointment tonight."
A haze flashed in the middle-aged man's eyes: "Really? That's really unfortunate."

On the opposite side of Lake, inside a very inconspicuous dilapidated wooden house. Mary Shaw looked lovingly at the young man in front of her. From Mary Shaw's point of view, the man was handsome and handsome.
But once from the other side, you will find that this man has a big scar on his face, and it seems that he has suffered a very serious injury.
"Jerrod, it's safe here. We don't have to worry about going to the battlefield anymore. Don't you like wax figures? You can study and make wax figures here with peace of mind..."
Mary Shaw laughed in a low voice, but the young man named Jerrold didn’t seem to hear it. He took a pen and drew on the paper, “This is the town I designed, Ambrose. It’s all made of wax, yes, I designed it..."
Although Gerrod ignored herself, Mary Shaw still had a happy smile on her face.
Until... the wooden door was kicked open.
The middle-aged man named Edward walked in from the outside drunk: "Bitch, just because of this ugly monster, dare to refuse me?"
Looking at the man pressing hard, Mary Shaw backed away in horror: "Please, Mayor Edward...Jerrod, save me..."
While struggling, the woman snatched the pistol from Edward's waist and forced Edward to retreat. Looking at the black hole in front of the muzzle, Edward sneered disdainfully: "Do you dare to shoot? Mary Shaw, don't forget, I allowed you to stay in this town. Without me, you and this fool would not even think about it. Staying here, you can only leave here like a dog, and return to the battlefield that is full of war..."
He suddenly grabbed Gerrod’s neck and smiled grinningly: "Look at this waste and imagine what it would be like if he left the town."
"Mary, my dear Mary, it is not easy to have a stable life these years, let alone a happy love, you always have to pay a price."
Looking at the devilish smile of the middle-aged man, the woman's hands trembled violently. After a while, the pistol fell weakly to the ground.
The man smiled triumphantly, strode forward, picked up the woman and threw it on the bed.
Amidst the screaming, Gerrod stood there all the time, murmured "Ambrose" in his mouth, but the pair of eyes flashed with unknown light.

On the wharf, Mary Shaw, who was already gray-haired, dressed in a black dress, was firmly tied to a standing cross. In front of her, there are countless townspeople in anger holding various weapons.
Edward, with a big belly and gray hair, walked out of the crowd tremblingly on crutches, gritted his teeth and said, "Mary Shaw, Mary Shaw, our town kindly took in your couple. I didn't expect you to be like this. Give back to our town."
"If it weren't for Gerrod's report, we would never have thought that you would be the person behind the kidnapping of children for so many years."
While talking, an old man who looked like a farmer was pushed out of the crowd, holding a doll in his hand, standing tremblingly beside Edward.
"Don't be afraid, Jerrold, although you are Mary Shaw's husband, we won't hurt you because of your merits in reporting. But..."
Edward took a lighted torch and handed it to Gerrod: "In order for your wife to repay the sins she committed, you need to light this fire yourself!"
"Ambrose... Ambrose..."
Jerrod just repeats that word.
Edward couldn't help but squeezed the torch into Gerrod's hand, then grabbed his hand, even took the doll with the torch, and threw it under the cross.
The cross, which was already full of ignitors, immediately rose up with blazing flames.
The scorching high temperature forced everyone to retreat one after another. Soon with the fire dragon boiling, the sea of flames rose to the sky. However, Mary Shaw, who has not spoken since then, spoke quietly in this sea of fire:
"Be careful of the gaze from Mary Shaw;
She has no children, only dolls;
If you see her, don’t scream;
Otherwise she will tear your mouth open and tear off your tongue! "
The weird singing sound hovered in everyone's ears like a nightmare. Looking at the blazing flames, no one dared to speak for a while.
At this time, Gerald, who had been mad, suddenly screamed in horror: "I was wrong, Mary, I was wrong... I'm here, let's go to Ambrose together..."
In the scream, he rushed towards the burning cross.
No one dared to stop him, so he could only watch Jerod rush into the sea of fire, holding the cross and falling into the lake.
From then on, neither Jerod nor Mary Shaw have seen anyone or a dead body!
Only the horrible nursery rhyme has been passed down from the small town of Farravens from generation to generation.

The car roared out from the small road, through the grass, and rushed into the lake heavily. Soon the cold lake water poured in from the fallen car window.
Xie Lun turned his head and looked at the three Johns with a sullen face, and said solemnly: "Believe me, if you want to go back, there is only one way to go."
The three Johns clung to the handrails tightly, and no one could speak. On the contrary, it was Jamie who fainted on the side. He didn't know when Youyou woke up, reluctantly looked at Xie Lun and smiled bitterly: "From birth to death, to death to life!"
Soon the lake completely submerged the two cars, and the gurgling bubbles rolled. It didn’t take long for everyone except Sharon to be able to hold their breath~lightnovelpub.net~mouth and nose breathing involuntarily, instantly Inhaled the cold lake water.
Seeing other people clutching their throats, struggling desperately, but in the process of struggling, they gradually disappeared one by one. Xie Lun breathed a sigh of relief, and it seemed that the path he found was the right one.
But with his super endurance, his holding time is far beyond ordinary people. It has been in the water for five or six minutes, and he still doesn't feel suffocated. In desperation, Xie Lun had to take the initiative to open his mouth, letting the lake water pour into his nose.
But Xie Lun soon discovered that this didn't work either. Although the lake water poured into his throat, it was very uncomfortable to support him, and his lungs were also very painful at the top, but there was no feeling of death.
High physique and long blood bar are not a good thing at certain times.
Xie Lun suddenly opened his eyes, and he keenly noticed that some changes had taken place in the lake around him.
To put it simply, the water is mixed with oil. Gradually, the oil became more and more, and finally poured into Xie Lun's mouth along the lake.
"Damn damn..."
Xie Lun felt that his throat seemed to be sealed by something sticky. Even if he wanted to shut up, he couldn't close it, and could only struggle weakly.
"The mouse that bad my good deeds, I caught you!"
One stammered a little, but a gloomy voice sounded in Xie Lun's ear.
"Do not!"
In the increasingly blurred vision of Xie Lun, a white-haired old woman in a black dress suddenly appeared. Her hideous and terrifying face carried a very calm expression.
Then just like in the museum, she stretched out her hand...
