Chapter 62 Ceramic Doll
Granwen is a very qualified night taxi driver, at least in his opinion. For Granwen, chatting with the passengers in the car every day and talking about interesting stories around Cynthia City is also a very good thing. Granwen is very satisfied with his life.
Of course, not every passenger is talkative, and Granwen is also very knowledgeable and tactful and will not take the initiative to speak to disturb others. However, no matter how quiet or indifferent the passengers are, they are a little different from the young man sitting in the back seat. He is really too quiet, so quiet that Granwen almost thought he was a dead man. If it weren't for his chest rising and falling from time to time, Granwen would probably have thought he had encountered something bad.
I glanced at the dull and pale man in the rearview mirror. He was looking straight ahead, and even the backpack in his arms didn't change at all. It was really weird.
After a light cough, Granwen showed a somewhat stiff smile and whispered, "Hey, passenger, you told me before that you were going to the southern part of Cynthia City. I wonder where exactly you are going?"
"South of the city..." Just after uttering these two words, the young man's eyes suddenly looked towards the rearview mirror and met Granwen's eyes reflected in the rearview mirror. The young man looked into Granwen's eyes, and his head suddenly tilted to the left, like a puppet that had lost its traction string. He smiled dully and said, "Snake Forest Apartment, thank you!"
Looking at the young man's eyes, Granvin suddenly felt that those eyes were more like two glass balls than human eyes. They looked lifeless. He shuddered and felt that all the hairs on his body stood up, his hands and feet were cold, and his heart was beating violently. He laughed dryly, said no more, turned around, stepped on the accelerator, and drove towards the Snake Forest Apartment in the southern area of Cynthia City.
Granwen drove very fast. Fortunately, it was already midnight and there were not many people on the road. Granwen quickly drove the car to a building with a mottled surface located in the civilian area of the southern city. This was a rare high-rise building in the civilian area, with a total of twelve floors. Moreover, this building named Snake Forest Apartment had appeared as early as Granwen could remember. It was precisely because of such a long history that Granwen was able to know the specific location of this building.
After stopping the car, Granwen pursed his lips, with a stiff smile on his face, and turned to look at the young man behind him. However, the moment Granwen saw the young man behind him, his smile completely froze on his face, his face instantly turned extremely pale, his lips trembled slightly, and beads of cold sweat on his forehead flowed down his cheeks and nose.
The young man who had made him feel uncomfortable was no longer in the back seat of the car. Instead, there was a normal-sized puppet wearing clothes, slumped in the back seat. Its glass eyes stared at Granwen dully, making his back go cold and his body tremble uncontrollably.
"Snap! "
Suddenly, the puppet's wooden arm, which was full of connection marks and ball joints, dropped to the ground. The backpack that the hand was holding suddenly fell to the ground in the back seat of the car. The zipper was completely opened, and the empty backpack faced Granwen blankly, as if it was silently telling something, or silently mocking.
Granwen's patience finally reached its limit. He turned around frantically to open the car door next to him, but to Granwen's surprise, his car door could not be opened no matter what he did.
He pounded on the car window frantically, but the ordinary car window was like an extremely solid barrier and could not be smashed open at all. Only a few bloody handprints of Granvin's hands were left.
"Help! Help! Is there anyone who can save me? Help me!"
Granwen was shouting something outside the car, but he couldn't see anybody, only empty darkness outside the car.
Gasping for breath, Granvin regained some of his sanity. He suddenly remembered that there was a wrench in the car, which he could use to open the window. However, before Granvin turned around, a little girl's voice, which was full of coldness and made Granvin shudder, sounded from the passenger seat with his back to him.
"Hehehehehe...play with me, play with me...Uncle, play with me..."
Granwen turned his head stiffly and saw a gray-white half-body ceramic doll that looked like a little girl of about four or five years old sitting in the passenger seat. A large number of cracks spread all over the body of the ceramic doll, and there seemed to be black smoke flowing in those cracks. The lower body of the ceramic doll disappeared, and at the broken part of the waist and abdomen, there were many marks shaped like sharp teeth biting on it, which looked extremely weird.
With his back almost pressed against the car door behind him, Granvin looked at the half-body ceramic doll that slowly turned its head to look at him. Tears flowed from the corners of his eyes. The fear and despair in his eyes became more and more intense, but the expression on his face gradually became dull. Granvin's eyes kept turning, and he looked desperately at his hand reaching out to hold the ceramic doll in his arms, and then looked at his other hand opening the car door and walking out, step by step towards the Snake Forest Apartment...
Luo She was wearing a pair of white gloves and checking the puppet in the back of the taxi. When Luo She touched the puppet's body with his hands, he suddenly retracted his hands and looked at the puppet in the back seat of the taxi with a serious face, his throat trembling slightly.
"Seal off the scene. No one is allowed to touch this taxi and the puppet behind it. Otherwise, you will be severely punished!"
After quickly giving the order, Luo She picked up the intercom and said to Bob who had entered the Snake Forest Apartment for inspection: "Bob, what's the situation inside?"
"Apart from the spurting blood, there were only some scattered broken bones and pieces of flesh, and no trace of the driver. I suspect that the driver killed the people here and took away the body parts."
"Bob, seal off the scene and don't let anyone else in. Send two more people to guard the scene and maintain order! If you see anyone suspicious, report it immediately. If you spot the taxi driver Granwen, don't alarm him. Monitor him remotely and wait for the large group to arrive!"
Bob had followed Luo She for many years, but he had never heard Luo She so nervous. He looked at the apartment full of spurting blood, swallowed his saliva involuntarily, and whispered to Luo She: "Boss, could this be..."
"That's right, the city of Cynthia may not be at peace any longer. This was done by a spirit!"
