She really didn't expect that a doll that was supposed to be an inanimate object would suddenly speak and ask her for help.
This was the most terrible disturbance she had ever felt, and it made her legs feel weak, and it was difficult to breathe.
"Olive, what exactly happened to you?!" She was stammering and unable to continue looking for evidence of Olive's existence alone. She saw the doll lying on the floor, still emitting a thin black aura.
She did not know what the cursed doll would do if she touched it again. Worried that something more terrible would happen than the doll, she needed Eliza's help to continue searching for evidence of Olive's existence. She did not immediately leave the place because there was still one thing she had to confirm.
But before she managed to muster up the strength to stand up, suddenly, a scream came from behind.
"Elvira! what happened to you?!" Eliza was surprised when she saw her friend sitting on the floor staring at the box wide-eyed. Worried that something had happened, she immediately ran to her.
"I'm fine. I just slipped just now." Even though she was scared, she couldn't tell the terrible thing that had just happened.
"Huff, I immediately ran when I heard your screams. I thought you were attacked by someone." While helping her friend up, Eliza sighed after confirming that her friend was okay.
"How did Mr. Joel respond?" With Eliza's help, she tried to stand up even though her legs were still shaking and she felt weak to stand on her own.
"It seems that Olive's disappearance has become more serious. The Chief Sorcerer was even surprised to be contacted by Calvin and will come here. Not only the Chief Sorcerer is coming, but Calvin has also called in detectives to look for Olive's whereabouts." With a sad expression, Eliza pointed at the detectives conducting an examination in the front room. She was increasingly worried about the whereabouts of her friend.
"If Calvin couldn't solve this on his own, then the Evil Spirits would have attacked this place before today's party." Elvira shivered slightly at the thought of what had happened to Olive.
Elvira, who was still weak, immediately lost her balance and fell onto her friend's chest when the hand helping her up was suddenly released.
*Thud*
"Oww, do your legs feel weak, or do you really want to hug me? You are really naughty, Elvira!" Eliza narrowed her eyes and looked at her friend, who was still hugging her body with a suspicious look.
"No kidding, our friend is missing, and we have to find her quickly. We have to do it quickly before it's too late." She immediately changed the subject and immediately pushed her body away from her friend before her friend misunderstood even more.
"Okay, princess. Even if you don't want to be honest, my arms will always be ready to receive you." Eliza slightly smiled when she saw her friend's face, which was somewhat red when being bullied.
After being able to balance her own body, her gaze only focused on the open box in the middle of the carpet. There were no suspicious features of the box, it was just that now she could see a darker aura emerging from within it. What made her curious was that aura appeared from inside the box after she fell in a panic
Although she continued to stare at the box, Eliza didn't go to the box that Elvira was aiming for. Her friend instead walked towards the doll which was separated from the other dolls.
Without thinking, she immediately picked up the doll lying on the floor and looked at it with a gentle gaze. "Whoa, why is this girl doll separated from the other dolls?! From the shape, I'm sure this doll is quite expensive."
When Eliza is happy to see the doll that will be used as a gift, her friend just takes her distance and looks scared.
"D-don't hold the doll! Throw it... throw it away." While hiding behind a gift box, Elvira asked her friend to keep the doll away like someone who has zoophobia.
"Ahh, this is cute, you know. I think Olive chose a doll as a gift because she knows that you like dolls. Eh, wait a minute... Aren't you a doll lover? Why are you suddenly asking me to throw this thing you like?!" Eliza knew that Elvira really liked dolls, and Elvira's request to get rid of the cute doll made her a little confused.
Feeling that Elvira was hiding something, she did not immediately follow her friend's request. She looked at the doll several times to discover her fear of the girl doll.
"Y-yes, I still like dolls. But not with the doll in your hand. I beg you this time to put the doll far away and don't touch it again." Elvira tried to convince Eliza without making her afraid or curious. She suspected that the doll that gave off a thin black aura had something to do with Olive's disappearance.
"Um, okay." Seeing Elvira's expression, that she was really scared when she saw the doll made her worry, and she decided to put the girl doll on the table in the corner of the room.
Elvira breathed a sigh of relief after Eliza trusted her and took the cursed doll away.
As the Cursed Puppet was already far away, she took the opportunity to look at the contents of the gift box, which gave off a jet black aura.
Slowly and boldly, she looked at the gift that was inside. From the 7 items in the box, she saw that the black aura she saw earlier was coming from a cookie jar.
