Chapter 125 The Dilapidated Theater
The police car sped across the flooded bridge and entered the town of Ravensville.
It looks like it just rained here.
The surrounding dilapidated and desolate streets, coupled with the gloomy weather,
Li Yuan subconsciously felt as if he had arrived in Silent Hill.
Jamie, who was driving, also had an incredulous expression on his face.
He muttered to himself:
"I remember... when I left, the town wasn't like this..."
"It's Mary Shaw's curse."
Li Yuan looked at Jamie in the driver's seat and asked in a deep voice:
"You must have heard of that curse."
After hearing Li Yuan's words, Jamie said with some confusion:
"A curse? I don't know what that is."
Li Yuan was taken aback upon hearing this, and couldn't help but think to himself:
But the matter did not end with Mary Shaw's death.
Her soul transformed into a vengeful spirit, cursing...
They began hunting down the residents of Ravensville year after year.
The townspeople who had participated in the lynching all met a tragic end.
They all died with their tongues torn out, dying of terror.
Threatened by the curse, the townspeople of Ravensville began to flee the town.
It remains in a state of disrepair to this day.
After Li Yuan finished explaining the origins of the curse,
The people inside the car fell silent.
Penelope, standing next to Li Yuan, tugged at his arm and asked with a curious expression:
"So, who kidnapped that child?"
Lipton frowned, then suddenly spoke:
"Since Mary Shaw is so resentful, she must have been framed."
Li Yuan smiled mysteriously, said nothing, and looked at Jamie, saying:
"How about we go find Mary Shaw's theater first?"
Lipton asked, somewhat puzzled:
"So many years have passed, the theater is probably long gone by now, right?"
Li Yuan looked at the old man sitting listlessly by the roadside and said with a smile:
"We can go and ask around; how will we know if we don't ask?"
After Jamie stopped the car, Li Yuan got out and went to the old man's side, asking softly:
"Hello sir, may I ask you something?"
The old man slowly raised his head upon hearing this.
A pair of gloomy eyes warily sized up Li Yuan.
There seemed to be some resistance to talking to him.
Li Yuan took out a hundred-dollar bill and waved it in front of the old man.
The old man's expression changed instantly, spinning around with the swaying banknotes.
Li Yuan chuckled inwardly:
"Indeed, the saying 'money makes the world go round' applies everywhere."
He took back the banknotes and quietly inquired of the old man:
"I want to know where Mary Shaw's theater is."
The moment I heard the name Mary Shaw,
The old man's eyes widened in terror, his expression turning one of extreme fear.
At the same time, he was sobbing, and it was unclear what he wanted to say.
Li Yuan leaned closer, puzzled, and asked in a deep voice:
"What did you say? I can't hear you."
Upon hearing this, the old man opened his mouth, trembling.
Upon closer inspection, Li Yuan discovered that the old man's tongue had actually been cut off!
Wow, this guy's really ruthless to himself.
Li Yuan was startled, but quickly composed himself and stuffed the banknotes into the old man's hand.
She said softly, "Just give me directions."
Upon hearing this, the old man struggled to his feet and pointed towards the end of the road.
He then gestured a circle in front of Li Yuan.
Recalling the location of the theater in the plot, Li Yuan tentatively asked:
"By the lake?"
The old man nodded vigorously upon hearing this, then made a dangerous gesture, his eyes filled with worry.
"Thank you, it will be safe there after today."
Li Yuan waved to the old man, returned to the car, and said to Jamie:
"Keep driving along the road, the theater is by the lake."
Jamie nodded and started the car again.
On the way to the lake, Li Yuan said to Lipton and Jamie:
"When we get there, will you two still come down with me?"
Li Yuan looked at Lipton and said:
"Especially you, you were there to determine the nature of the case, didn't you confirm it last night?"
Upon hearing Li Yuan mention what happened last night, Lipton instinctively hesitated to continue.
"I think I'll stay..."
His eyes darted around as he tried to explain to the group:
"I'm not scared, I just want to stay and protect your friend."
After all, leaving a woman in the car is still quite dangerous.
At this moment, Jamie, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke up seriously:
"I'll go in with you; I want to know the truth."
"Sure, but remember to stay calm once you're inside."
As the car slowly came to a stop by the lake, the crowd, separated by a thin layer of white mist,
I could vaguely see the Mary Shaw Theatre standing across the lake.
Li Yuan carried Billy in his hand and led Jamie to the lakeside.
Looking at the small boats on the lake, Li Yuan said meaningfully:
"There are boats here, so it seems people come here regularly."
As he spoke, Li Yuan looked at Jamie and said:
"Can you row a boat?"
Jamie paused for a moment, then quickly nodded and mumbled a reply:
"Oh...yes."
Li Yuan picked up the oil lamp beside him, stood on the boat, and said to Jamie:
"Then what are you waiting for? Come and row a boat!"
The small boat slowly passed through the white mist and steadily docked at the shore.
After disembarking, the two looked at the dilapidated theater shrouded in mist and slowly walked inside.
The theater was dimly lit and dilapidated.
The seats in the stands were already rotten and even overgrown with weeds.
By the light of an oil lamp and a flashlight,
They walked through the dilapidated hall and climbed onto the stage.
The creaking sound of Li Yuan's feet on the stage floor
It startled the mice that were eating.
More than a dozen fat rats were so frightened that they scattered and fled.
It made a rustling sound.
Li Yuan pulled back the tattered, dark red curtain and said:
"Maybe we should go backstage and take a look; there might be a surprise."
Jamie followed behind Li Yuan, asking with a puzzled look:
"What are we looking for here?"
Unlike Jamie in the original series, who painstakingly uncovers the truth,
At this moment, he was completely unaware of the cause and effect.
So they seemed completely confused.
Li Yuan waved the Billy doll in his hand, explaining as he walked:
"I want to see if Billy's companions are here."
"You mean... another 100 dolls?"
Jamie said in surprise:
"Didn't you say they were all buried with Mary Shaw?"
Li Yuan walked to a door, shrugged, and said to Jamie:
"Who knows? After all, we're not from that era."
As he spoke, he pushed open the wooden door in front of him.
With the creaking sound of the door hinges turning,
A room filled with broken doll parts suddenly appeared before the two of them.
Li Yuan looked at the red cloth at the far end of the room and said:
"Perhaps we have already found it."
