Crossing at the same time, all nightmares start

Chapter 58: Biological child?
Matthew perked up.

"Tell me?"

Furness's eyes were filled with memories.

"Alicia and I grew up together, back then."

"Come on, Furness, I'm here to do business, not to hear about your love life.

Even though you two used to have an on-and-off relationship, she is now someone else's wife.

I'll tell Alicia about this after she wakes up."

The emotion was interrupted, Furness looked at Matthew sadly, cleared his throat, and said helplessly.

"When we were about six years old, one day Alicia suddenly heard strange noises coming from under her bed and in her closet.

At first she didn't care.

But as time went on, the noise became more and more severe.”

"Until one day, in the middle of the night, she was once again awakened by a noise in the closet.

When I opened my eyes, I saw a monster slowly crawling out of my closet!

After being seen, the monster disappeared again."

"Alicia told her father, Mr. Andrew, about this."

"But Mr. Andrew thought it was just a child's fantasy, so he told her a story to help her sleep well."

“It is said that there is a thing called the Night Demon, a monster that likes to hide in children’s closets or under their beds.

When they are fast asleep, the night demon will sneak out from the closet or under the bed and take the sleeping children away."

"and many more!"

Matthew suddenly spoke up.

“You said Alicia saw a monster crawling out of the closet, was scared and told her father, and then her father told her a ghost story?

Just to let her sleep well?
How can this be explained? It must be intentional! "

Even if you add "disobedient child" or "child who thinks there are ghosts in the world and therefore doesn't sleep well."

Or maybe the sound was made by a mouse.

Nowadays, parents have to have a reason to use Uncle Erdan to scare their children.

Furness was speechless for a moment.

“This Mr. Andrew’s temper is indeed a bit weird.

His original intention was to tell Alicia that since the story had a source, it was proven to be false.

These are all stories made up by people. There are no ghosts in the world.

Only by facing fear can you conquer it."

"Okay, keep talking."

“Since then, the noise in the closet has not stopped.

Alicia told her father many times to stop her fear."

At this point, Furnes paused.

Matthew realized that what was coming next was probably not good.

really.

"In order to prove that there was no monster in the closet and to make her stop being afraid, Mr. Andrew locked her in the closet."

Matthew rolled his eyes speechlessly.

"biological?"

If it were now, Mr. Andrew would definitely lose his child and might even have to stay in jail for a few years.

"Maybe. Anyway, Alicia didn't see any monsters in the closet."

Apparently, Furness himself found it a bit outrageous.

"But she was deeply traumatized by this incident, so she often asked me to stay with her at night.

Don’t look at me like that. We were young at that time and didn’t understand what it meant!
We are just friends!"

The man defended himself with a red face and continued.

"Until one day, I woke up in the middle of the night and saw the monster, its entire body about to crawl out.

We found Alicia's father again.

Mr. Andrew was visibly even more angry, and to reassure us completely, he went into the closet himself.

At first nothing happened.

However, when he came out, a hand covered with sharp claws suddenly reached out from the closet and grabbed his ankle tightly! "Furness's face flashed with deep fear, as if the incident had caused a great psychological trauma to him.

“The monster was only wearing a pair of shorts, his skin was pale, his body was emaciated, and he had no hair.

After knocking Mr. Andrew down, they attacked him madly, with blood all over the ground.

Only after he could no longer resist did they drag him into the closet.

When the other adults arrived, there was no sign of him in the cabinet. Mr. Andrew had completely disappeared.

The police searched for him for more than ten days, but he seemed to have vanished from the face of the earth.”

"Since then, Alicia's mental state has had some problems. I was still young at that time. If I were given another chance, I would definitely not give up because of an argument."

"Okay, enough about that. This isn't a confessional."

After knowing what happened, Matthew decisively stopped the man from continuing to recall the past.

“Okay, after listening to a ghost story, I’m now sweating coldly.

Is there a bathroom here? I need to take a shower."

"It's on the second floor. Turn left after going up to the second floor and it's the second room." Furness was stunned, then said subconsciously.

The route seems familiar, and it seems I have been here more than once.

Only after he finished speaking did he react.

"Father Matthew, you want to take a bath now? Are you still afraid of these things?"

"Of course I'm scared, and I'm a germaphobe. I have to take a shower every two hours."

Matthew responded with a word and walked upstairs.

Before leaving, he raised his hand and stretched, then casually took a toy placed next to the wardrobe in the man's blind spot.

The bathroom was exactly where Furness had said it was.

As soon as you enter, a complete set of men's toiletries is placed in a very conspicuous place.

Matthew uttered a "tsk".

But that's good, at least he doesn't have to worry about whether there is feces in the shower.

Pulling up the water barrier between the bathroom and the toilet, turning on the shower, Matthew used magic to form a protective shield along the surface of his body.

Blocked the cold bath water.

Then he picked up the toy he had just picked up.

That's a puppet.

The shorts, pale skin, sharp nails, skinny body and hideous face are all there in the movie.

The deeply sunken nose makes the doll look particularly strange.

Throw on a black robe and it looks exactly like the peripherals of a noseless wizard.

"Night Stalker?"

Looking at the statue in his hand, Matthew fell into deep thought.

Alicia's childhood experiences obviously had nothing to do with the strange and suspicious things.

Probably another horror movie.

He had no impression of the plot, as if he had never seen it before.

Either it was released late or it is not very famous.

However, judging from Furness's description, the power of this night demon is not strong, but it seems to be able to pull people into other dimensions.

An evil spirit with spatial abilities?
Fusion?
This made him feel a little uneasy.

The last encounter was also a fusion of many horror movies.

Finally, several Solomon strongmen appeared.

But after what happened a while ago, is there any blind devil who would come here to offend him?

California is so big, why not go somewhere else?

Is he that charming?
Forget it. If I go to some other place and then my true self comes, he won’t be happy to come here again.

It’s better to solve it together.

While Matthew was thinking.

There were light footsteps.

A short figure appeared from outside the water barrier and gradually grew bigger. It seemed to be a child.
