Reincarnation Train Restart [Unlimited]

After reading these two clues, Wu Xiajiu and Shi Shangzuo went around the newsstand again, making sure there were no other clues before leaving.

They plan to check the situation of other residents in the doll town to see if they can ask anything.

However, although the residents living in these doll towns seem to be enthusiastic.

But once Wu Xiajiu asked about the past and new life of Doll Town, they would turn into another indifferent look.

In addition, even if they ask questions in a roundabout way, the residents of Doll Town will avoid answering and change the topic.

It seems that it is impossible to find clues from this aspect.

Seeing that it was not much time until noon, Wu Xiajiu and Shi Shangzuo went to the home of the mayor Bolton.

It happened to meet Fang Zi and Ren Xia outside this villa.

"Where did you two go?" Wu Xiajiu asked.

Fang Zi ran over and said, "Ren Xia and I looked for the traces of the dolls who came to the doll factory to attack us last night."

"When we left the doll factory in the morning, there were not so many dolls around."

"Before those dolls left last night, there were still many scorched marks on their bodies, and some were seriously damaged. I don't know if they will appear on the streets and next to the houses today."

"Or, was picked up by the machine and cremated in the incineration plant?"

I hadn't seen it near the doll factory before, so he and Ren Xia went to find it.

"What was the result?" Wu Xiajiu asked.

Fang Zi spread his hands: "We didn't find those damaged and burnt dolls at all, so Ren Xia and I went to the doll incineration factory to check."

"Guess what, as expected, those broken dolls are lying in the incinerator waiting in line to be cremated."

He thought that these broken dolls either went to the doll incineration plant to destroy themselves.

Either when they didn't leave the doll factory last night, or when they were resting in the morning, the machines in the incineration plant picked up all the broken and defective dolls.

They didn't talk for long outside, the mayor's wife, Marianne, came out of the villa, said that she saw them coming by the window, and invited them in to wait for lunch.

Yu Ze and Wei Yu haven't shown up at the villa yet.

The four of Wu Xiajiu went in first at Marian's invitation. They met the mayor Bourdain in the villa, but they didn't see Rachel.

Wu Xiajiu asked.

Marianne replied, "Oh, Rachel, she's an introvert, and she's in her room right now."

"She'll come down when it's meal time."

Wu Xiajiu: "Can I visit Rachel, she is a good girl."

Marianne and the mayor Bolton turned their heads to look at Wu Xiajiu when they heard the words.

How do you say the eyes of the two... It doesn't look like the expressions that a pair of parents should show when they hear their children being praised.

Slightly eccentric, and indifferent.

But before Wu Xia continued to explore for a long time, Marianne smiled and said: "Oh, of course, if you want to see her, Rachel's room is the third room on the left upstairs."

"Thank you." After Wu Xiajiu finished speaking, he nodded to the two of them, then turned around and stepped up the stairs to the second floor.

Before leaving, he gave Shi Shangzuo and Fang Ziren Xia a look.

Presumably, they understand what it means.

After going up to the second floor, Wu Xiajiu walked to the left and knocked on the door of the third room.

After two clicks of "dong dong", the door opened.

Rachel was on her feet, one hand on the doorknob, a cautious expression on her face.

After seeing the person standing outside the door was Wu Xiajiu, she was surprised at first, then smiled and said happily: "It's you, brother, why did you come to my house?"

As Rachel spoke, she poked her head to the side to see if there was anyone else.

Wu Xiajiu said: "I came here at the invitation of your parents and enjoyed lunch."

"Can I go in, Rachel."

Rachel let go of the doorknob and said, "Of course, please come in, brother."

Her body looked even worse than when we met yesterday, and after she coughed twice, she couldn't help but turn paler.

Wu Xiajiu walked in and asked, "Are you okay?"

Rachel nodded: "Cough me, cough cough, I'm fine, my illness has always been like this, I'm used to it."

Seeing the expression on her face, she was really used to it, and Rachel ran to the table to take a sip of water.

When Wu Xiajiu walked over, he looked at Rachel's room unobtrusively.

After entering this villa, Wu Xiajiu has been paying attention to the situation in the villa—dolls, there are dolls everywhere, filling the first floor of the villa.

But to his surprise, there is no doll in Rachel's room.

Wu Xiajiu was inevitably puzzled, so he couldn't help asking: "Rachel, don't you like dolls? I don't think you have any dolls in your room."

He looked at Rachel's face, observing the expression.

Rachel pouted and said, "No, Rachel doesn't like those dolls, they're weird."

"Really." Wu Xiajiu's eyes flickered, and then he sat beside Rachel and said, "Rachel, do you know that you have an uncle?"

Based on the time he read in the newspapers and that report, Rachel should have been born before the appearance of mechanical dolls.

Rachel should be two or three years old by the time the doll gallery is built.

Rachel tilted her head and thought for a while, and said, "Dad mentioned that Uncle passed away. I should have seen Uncle before that, but I forgot."

Rachel thought she was too young to remember everything.

She didn't care much about these things, and said excitedly: "Brother, I have a picture book, do you want to take a look?"

"Okay." Wu Xiajiu agreed.

So Rachel hopped off her chair to get the picture book.

Not long after, she came back with a thick booklet and handed it to Wu Xiajiu, beckoning him to read it.

The moment Wu Xiajiu touched the album, Wu Xiajiu's wristband became hot for a moment, and then the panel popped up——

[Congratulations to the passengers for discovering Rachel's forgotten memory and obtaining relevant information—the awakening of the doll (to be explored)]

A flash of surprise flashed in Wu Xiajiu's eyes, and then he stretched out his hand to open the picture album calmly.

Inside the picture album are the patterns drawn by Rachel with colored crayons. The style of the pictures is simple and childlike.

Looking through it from beginning to end, Wu Xiajiu had some guesses about the contents of the album.

These paintings should be real scenes that Rachel saw inadvertently when she was a child, maybe because she was too young at that time, or because she was frightened.

So Rachel forgot some of the things that happened at home that she saw at that time.

But subconsciously, these images still exist.

So, after Rachel picked up the brush, she drew it naturally with her feelings and subconsciousness.

In the first picture, a villain with brown hair is laying down on the ground and drawing some pattern, and there is a female villain with long hair and a shawl standing next to him, and a window is drawn on the other side, and there is a round bright moon outside the window .

The female minifigure's hair is painted yellow.

In reality, this should be long golden hair.

The hair characteristics of the two stick figures are very obvious.

Wu Xiajiu guessed that the people above were undoubtedly Rachel's parents Bolton and Marianne.

After all, according to the clues in this picture album, Rachel should not be very old at that time, and it is impossible for her to go out at night alone.

Therefore, the place where the incident happened can only be inside this villa.

Wu Xiajiu asked softly: "Rachel, who are these two people? Are they your parents?"

"Why did you draw such a picture?"

Rachel said with a hesitant expression, "I just drew it because I wanted to. They should be my parents."

She tilted her head, also a little confused.

Wu Xiajiu nodded.

The second painting is divided into two pictures, one on the left and one on the right. On the left is a messy line mixed with black and red.

Wu Xiajiu took a closer look, and found that the black lines were lines, while the red area was smeared blocks, but since they were all drawn with crayons, it was not very obvious.

On the right side of the picture, a doll is drawn on a black and red messy pattern, and a brown-haired villain stands beside it.

Combining the two, Wu Xiajiu suddenly thought of the background wall used for taking pictures in the doll exhibition hall.

He wondered, could these black lines be the patterns drawn on the wall, and the red... could be the bloodstains?

And looking at the picture on the right, the brown-haired stick figure is standing, which means that the black and red messy lines are drawn on the ground, and then a doll is placed on it.

This weird feeling seems to be holding some kind of ceremony.

Turning the page again, the third picture shows the doll standing up from the black and red messy lines, the eyes are painted with red crayons, the corners of the mouth are bent upwards, and grinning.

Wu Xiajiu couldn't tell whether this doll was a human or an animal. Except for the head, limbs and body, only the lines were drawn with a fluffy feeling, which made Wu Xiajiu see that it was a doll in the drawing. .

The doll has a strange expression, and its hands are drawn in the shape of sharp claws, hanging down on both sides of its body.

On the other side of the doll stood a brown-haired figurine and a blond-haired female figure in a dress.

Behind them is another round of bright moon.

In the fourth painting, a new character is added, a little girl with long brown hair is held between the brown-haired villain and the blond-haired villain.

This was probably Rachel herself.

And behind the three villains, a doll that was half-hidden behind the wall leaned out silently, with red eyes that seemed to be staring at them maliciously.

There will be no more pictures in the back.

Wu Xiajiu closed it, and while he was looking at the album, Rachel was lying on the small stool next to her, humming a song, and fiddled with the paintbrush on the ground with her intact hands.

Wu Xiajiu asked: "Rachel, you..."

Before he could finish speaking, there was a sudden knock on the door, followed by Marianne's voice and Fang Zi's voice——

"It's time to go down to eat."

"Xiaoyu and Weiyu are here."

Wu Xiajiu took Rachel to open the door and go out.

Outside, Marianne gave Wu Xia a long smile first, then her smile subsided, and she stretched out her hand to Rachel: "Come on, Rachel, Mommy will take you down for dinner."

Rachel took it timidly with her good hand.

After a while, Wu saw Marian leading Rachel and turning around and going downstairs first.

Marianne knew that Rachel had a disability in one foot, but she had no intention of slowing down at all, and let Rachel struggle to keep up.

After the figures of the two disappeared around the corner, Wu Xiajiucai and Fang Zi followed slowly downstairs.

Fang Zi tilted his head and whispered, "The mayor's wife doesn't seem to like her daughter very much."

"Brother Jiu, did you find any clues in Rachel's room?"

Wu Xiajiu nodded, said yes, and said it later.

Fang Zi expressed his understanding.

When they went downstairs, Yu Ze and Wei Yu were indeed there.

Marian opened the chair and motioned them to sit at the dining table to eat. There was a lot of food, and the food was delicious.

When Wu Xiajiu was eating, he touched Shi Shangzuo's foot under the table.

After a while, Shi Shangzuo left the dining table with the excuse of going to the bathroom. He went to the bathroom on the first floor.

After a while, Yu Ze suddenly covered his stomach with his hands and said that he was hurting and uncomfortable, and wanted to go to the bathroom. He wrinkled his face and said, "I really can't wait. Is there a bathroom on the first floor?"

Marianne said: "There is no one on the first floor. If you want to go to the bathroom, there is still one on the second floor. I will take you..."

"No, I'll go by myself." After speaking, Yu Ze clutched his stomach and went up to the second floor.

……

After Yu Ze ran up to the second floor, as expected, he saw Shi Shangzuo in the corridor.

Shi Shangzuo climbed out of the bathroom window on the first floor to the second floor of the villa.

The two looked at each other without wasting time, and searched for clues separately. After all, there are many rooms on the second floor.

Not long after, Shi Shangzuo discovered the study of the mayor Bolton...

In the downstairs restaurant, while eating, the mayor Bourdain put down the knife and fork, looked up at the second floor, and then turned to look at the bathroom on the first floor.

Immediately, he turned back and said to Wu Xiajiu and the others: "They seem to have been in the bathroom for a long time, are they all right, do you want to take a look?"

Wu Xia said for a long time: "It's okay, it may come out in a while."

Just after finishing speaking, the door of the bathroom on the first floor made a "click" sound, the door opened, and Shi Shangzuo came out from inside.

Wu Xiajiu said: "Look, isn't this all right?"

Not long after, Yu Ze recovered, rubbed his stomach and walked down from the second floor, and said as he walked, "It's been resolved, and I'm comfortable this time."

He sat back in his chair and smiled apologetically at Mayor Bourdain and Marianne.

After dinner, Mayor Bourdain left them to sit in the living room for a while, while Rachel was led upstairs by Marianne.

Mayor Bourdain said: "In the afternoon, I need you to do one more thing."

Fang Zi murmured beside Wu Xiajiu, "I knew I wouldn't eat here for nothing."

Mayor Bourdain: "As workers in the doll factory, you are obliged to fulfill your responsibilities. After a night of machine operation, enough dolls have been accumulated in the doll factory."

"Now, what you need to do when you go back is to get all the dolls out of the container and place them in every place in the town, including streets, houses, and trees..."

Mayor Bourdain listed them all.

Finally, he raised a finger and said with a serious face: "But be careful not to put these dolls near the doll incineration plant, they don't like it there."

"Remember, you must remember this."

Mayor Bourdain has repeatedly emphasized.

Fang Zi put on a curious and innocent look on his face, squinted his green eyes and asked, "Oh, why don't dolls like incineration plants?"

Mayor Bolton glanced at him, smiled strangely, and said, "No doll would like to give itself a place to die."

"It's like people don't like crematoriums."

"Dolls are no different from people. Dolls are alive, and soon you will think so."

Before Wu Xiajiu waited for the people to leave, the mayor Bolton pushed a wheelchair to the door to see them off, waving his hand back and forth, and the smile on the corner of his mouth seemed to be getting more and more weird.

It was not until they reached the corner of the street that the mayor's villa could no longer be seen, so they looked at each other and spoke.

"If we go back to put the dolls, we might as well throw them away. The mayor, Bolton, didn't say that the dolls must be placed in the doll factory..." Weiyu said.

Mayor Bourdain did not mention that there was a doll factory where the dolls were kept.

Wu Xiajiu and others did not object to Weiyu's proposal.

Seeing this, Weiyu hesitated again and said, "It's still time to sleep at night... why don't we just rest in the machine workshop."

"Isn't it very safe there, maybe we can spend the whole night safely."

Yu Ze said with a cigarette in his mouth, "Maybe not necessarily tonight."

"What do you mean?" No words were puzzled.

Yu Ze: "Every night in the world under the car, sometimes the 'rules' are the same, but sometimes the 'rules' change."

"That is to say, maybe it was safe in the machine workshop last night, but not necessarily tonight."

"Because, you have to remember that in the world under the car, no place is fixed and safe."

"It's impossible for passengers to stay in one place to spend the last night safely, and then let you board the reincarnation train and leave unscathed, you know."

Yu Ze raised a finger and shook Weiyu.

Weiyu heard the words, his face turned pale, and he nodded.

Wu Xiajiu glanced at the dolls everywhere, and said, "Go back to the doll factory first, and exchange the clues we got."

Then they hurried back to the doll factory.

Wu Xiajiu and Shi Shangzuo obtained two clues at the newsstand.

Fang Zi and Ren Xia are at the doll incineration factory.

As for Yu Ze and Wei Yu, they went to the hospital and the police station in the doll town, so it was a bit late when they arrived at the mayor's house.

Yu Zedao: "There are indeed very few residents living in the doll town. There are hardly many people in the hospital. Weiyu and I haven't even seen a single patient."

Without patients there are only doctors and nurses.

He asked Weiyu to divert people away, and went to check the hospital records by himself.

Yu Ze said: "I found Rachel's birth file. She has been sick since she was born. The doctor concluded that Rachel will not live to be eight or nine years old."

"In addition, for a period of time, the hospital in the doll town has recorded many patients with similar symptoms, with stiff limbs and unable to move, either in the hands, legs or arms."

Wu Xiajiu asked: "This is not much different from Chen Lu's symptoms of being unable to move her left calf and feeling unconscious last night."

Yu Ze nodded and said, "That's right, I thought so when I saw it."

"And after hearing what you mentioned in the newspapers, combined with that period of time, many patients with the same symptoms should have appeared after the appearance of mechanical dolls."

Fang Zi: "So, these patients were also attacked by dolls?"

"If this is the case, if the doll attacks people, the town should be in panic, and there will be related reports at that time."

Shi Shangzuo: "Maybe it's other means."

He looked at Yu Ze and asked, "After that, what clues did you find in the police station?"

Yu Ze: "This is about the interview report you saw about Mayor Bourdain."

"Didn't that report mention that Mayor Bourdain's brother Burgett died of illness?"

"But when I was looking for any special crimes that happened in the doll town, I found that the mayor's brother Burgett was a murderer."

"Murderer?" Wu Xiajiu was a little surprised.

"That's right." Yu Ze said: "Burgett is a murderer. He killed many town residents, let the blood out, and then stuffed the bloody corpses into big dolls."

"Then secretly tear off the doll's ears or eyes, wait for the machine to transport these broken dolls, and then burn them at the doll incineration plant."

"Burgett's crimes were not discovered until some time after the body was destroyed like this."

"It was discovered by a child, perhaps because the mayor tried his best to promote ordinary dolls and restrict the appearance of mechanical dolls in the doll town."

"The child came to the street with the scissors and cut off the head of a big doll. As a result, the body was found."

The boy was frightened and sick, the body was found, and Burgett committed suicide in fear of guilt.

This incident is a shocking incident in the doll town, and it is also a scandal for the mayor's family.

Probably because of this, the mechanical doll disappeared afterwards, and the town returned to its previous appearance. After the completion of the doll exhibition hall, the mayor Bourdain concealed the real death of Burgett in his personal deeds when he was interviewed. reason.

"Suicide in fear of crime..." Wu Xiajiu said thoughtfully, "Is Burgitte really dead? Has anyone seen the body?"

Yu Ze nodded: "Burgett is indeed dead."

"There are photos published in the files of the police station. There are no dead spots in high-definition. The neck was wiped to death, and blood flowed all over the body and all over the place."

"At the end of the file, Burgett's body was cremated."

Wu Xiajiu frowned upon hearing this.

Ren Xia didn't worry about the death of the mayor's younger brother Burgett anymore, he said: "Then what clues were found in the mayor's villa?"

Wu Xiajiu talked about the picture album found in Rachel's room, and of course there was no doll in Rachel's room.

——She seems to have witnessed some of the schemes of the mayor Bourdain and his wife Marianne when she was very young.

Shi Shangzuo said at this time: "They made an evil ritual, which attracted evil spirits to descend on the doll."

"I found some clues in Bourdain's study..."
