Doll House(24)

Without waiting for them to adjust,

Instantly the surrounding around them blurred and distorted, like water stains on mirror, a layer of fog and mist curtaining their eyes and distorting their vision–

When their sight was finally restored, they found themselves standing in a room bare of furniture, all except for a bed and a desk.

Having spent a few days here, they instantly recognized it as one of the rooms located in the castle.

What was supposed to be a rich and aristocratic style room was stripped bare of its furnishing and left to collect dust, hidden and forgotten in an obscure part of the castle.

Here, the story of the castle gradually appeared before their eyes.

The Baron Estaste was the castle of the Famous Baron Richard with centuries of history and inheritance, having been ruled by one heir after another.

However the castle, also has centuries of corruption and mismanagement.

By the time, the castle fell into the hands of the Madam, it was nothing but a rotten hollow shell that could only survive by the meager pension given out by the state , however even that small compensation would soon rotten away because of the incompetence and lackluster of her presiders.

Like most of the heirs of the estate, the Madam was faced with a declining clan, no resources, no luck, and had to rely on buying temporary servants to keep the facade of the estate rather than admit to bankruptcy.

 Without good money, the estate would just continue to decline, like patchwork on cloth that would eventually unravel. The vicious circle was destined to eliminate the Baron from the ranks of the aristocracy.

But the Madam willing?

Absolutely not.

Unlike the other previous male heirs, the Madam was intelligent and ambitious, she didn't want to live like a fat pig raised in a pen, just waiting to be slaughtered by the times.

 All she needed was a burst of luck.

 Under the introduction of her friends and colleagues, the Madam began to get in touch with the technique of borrowing luck, regulating her fortune by offering spiritual body.

 Soon after, the castle began to dawn, her achievements were being recognized, a continuous stream of awards and patents being sent down down her. Everything she wanted to do, she could.

 As she became more and more well known , her need for luck became more and more intense... Desire is like a bottomless pit, The Madam played more and more, and began to try to deal with evil spirits to fill the gaping hole of her needs.

She became greedy, her own luck wasn't enough anymore, she started dabbling in witchcraft, stealing and symphoning the fortune of others.

But nothing good comes without a price.

 As her career reached its peak, the backlash followed. At first, she had nightmares all night and all night. Later, the things she dreamed of began to happen one after another in reality. Once she almost had her head chopped by the falling knife of the kitchenhand!

 If this goes on, the consequences would be disastrous... She didn't want to use her life to fill it, so she invited a dark witch to her home.

He was a man known for his vicious and cruel ways but that was exactly what she needed. After lathering him with riches and flattery, he finally agreed to help.

But he needed a sacrifice.

Alot of them.

She must conceive a child that shared her blood, to become the final and greatest sacrifice.

The Madam promised to give the witch all the 'sacrifice' that he'd need.

 Like a prophecy, she chose the darkest day to conceive, drunk fresh crow blood every day during pregnancy, smear her belly with yin oil and wait for the sacrifice to "hatch".

 Even after the boy was born, she burned the curse into ashes, the bark of the willow tree the blood of the black dog and mixed it with milk to feed... The Madam finally cultivated her son into the most delicious sacrifice of evil spirits, waiting for the Candle Lit Festival when he was eight years old, to drained and sacrifice the blood of a very yin physique to completes the final sacrifice.

But before that, she relied on the manpower of the estate, to one by one kidnap the children of the barren and closed off village.

For this sacrifice, the Madam needed a 103 children, the pure and white souls to corrupt their souls and flesh with resentment and breed the greatest supplement for the evil spirit and in return she would symphon the luck of a 103 children and live happily in her fantasy of wealth and prestige.

Burned to death, stuffed into a tiny box ,drowned and skinned.

Anything she could think of, she did.

The innocent children were subjected to the most horrifying torture and became ghost of resentment after their death.

The scene before them blurred and once again their eyes opened to the same room but this time it wasn't empty.

 The first thing Chu Yi saw after he opened his eyes was the fire, like a sharp and blazing knife, the scene in the fire became clearer and clearer.

He couldnt feel the pain of the fire but somehow it was like a phantom pain was licking his skin, the charred scent of burned flesh and meat blasting into his face.

 Chu Yi opened his eyes after a long moment and, and he appeared as a bystander on the night of Candle Lit Festival many years ago.

 The Madms urging and frantic voice came from downstairs: "Sacrifice time is coming! The young master hasn't changed his clothes yet?"

 "Madam! It's not the young master in the room, it's this..." The Butler appeared, holding in his clawed hands , a humanoid doll in pajamas that shivered in the wind.

 The Madam immediately rushed upstairs, grabbed the doll and took a look, and threw it downstairs angrily: "Have the servants check the room, find him within five minutes, and the sacrifice ceremony can't be delayed for half a second!"

 "Otherwise we will all die!" The Madams facial features became distorted and terrifying because of anger and fear.

 The butler quickly gathered the servants, and they knocked down door after door in a frantically attempt to find the the master. The Madam walked along the corridor and put on a soft and sweet voice to coax the children: "Mingling come out, don't play hide and seek with mother, you know, mother likes obedient children.

 " Mom knows that you are very good, you will not be late, and will not deliberately hide yourself."

 "Mom promises that everything will be okay after tonight, and you won't be sad in the future, and you won't need to take medicine."

 "Mingling , Did you hear what your mother said? Time is running out."

"Mingling, you know mother hates being late. Only good boys who are always on time deserves mother's love."

"Mingling! Mingling!"

The corridor was still quiet, and no one responded to the Madam, finally, she could no longer pretend to be calm, and her voice became stern and loud as she screeched, "Get out of here! You hide! What's the use? You know that you will never escape!"

 "Not coming out! Are you waiting for me to find you myself, it won't be as simple as punishment if I do!"

 Her voice had changed from a soft whisper to a naked threat.

 At this moment, the butler finally checked all the rooms and whispered a few words into the Madams ear. Her face was getting worse and worse, and in a fit she kicked the door open with her high heels.

The same door to the room they were in

 She didn't talk nonsense, went straight to the closet and yanked it open, angrily slapping Xiao Youyu who was hiding there

"You really are hiding here!"

 "Are you angry?" Mingling face bruised with the red palm prints had a smile, he still hugged his legs and sat in her mother's wardrobe with an innocent look.

This was the Madam's room

 "What kind of vicious bastard are you! To want to kill your own mother! Haven't I raised you enough! It's time for you to pay me back"

She slapped him again.

 Mingling smiled sweetly and raised his head: "I just wanted to surprise you."

The Madam roughly took his hand and dragged him out of the closet: "I don't like trouble-making children, don't make a fool of yourself, there is no time. Do you know how terrible the consequences of being late are?"

 MingLing was dragged out abruptly, and his knee was torn by the side of the cabinet: "I know, our whole family will be killed by the witches evil spirits, right?"

 The Madam, whose facde was exposed, became stiff and looked angry. Staring at her son, she looked looked grim and terrifying: "Shut up for me, the sacrifice should be act like that of an sacrifice."

 "Mom, let's stay together" Mingling not only did not shut up, but smiled sweetly like an angel. "I want my mother to stay with me in hell forever."

 The Madam suddenly became cold and

looked at her angle faced son in horror: "What do you... mean?"

 " Let's stay together, "Mingling took the Madams hand "The time is up, it's too late."

As soon as his voice fell, the altar was shaken, the wall full of curses cracked and collapsed, and the castle was surrounded by ghost fire without warning!

 Bai Yingzhi was so scared she felt faint "Butler! BUTLER! What's going on!"

 "Impossible, obviously there are still five minutes until the time..." Bai Yingzhi subconsciously glanced at the hourglass in the bedroom , it was only half way through. "How could it be... you moved your hands and feet?!"

As she said, she severely pinched Mingling's neck, her fingers with crimson nail polish cut the child's white flesh: "Did you move the hourglass? ! "

 Even through the pain of strangulation pain the little boy still bent lips happily, ignoring the sense of suffocation.

"I stole a few seconds from mother's day ... so... my mother will be able to follow me away from this world. "

 The Madam went crazy and her eyes, the red of an evil spirit: "I will kill you now...kill you!"

 "Let's go to hell together, Let's be happy"

The fire spread quickly, and Mingling looked at his mother who was about to put him to death, Smiling, his bright pupils gradually lost the glimmer of life...

 The altar also collapsed and resolved, the putrid blood spilling like the tears of a wretched soul, the beating flames turned into evil spirits, the spirits of the long lost children hungry and fiercely devouring the mother and son in the room, as well as the creatures in the entire villa.
