Chapter 94 News from Ten Years Ago
"Even if others don't dare to throw it at you, you should be able to do something about it."
Qu Lian obviously didn't believe what Ho Manshu said.
Although he had only known Huo Manshu for a short time, he knew that if he really touched Huo Manshu's bottom line, she would not be polite.
"Actually, you are not such a cold-blooded person"
Qu Lian glanced at Huo Manshu and said carefully, "I heard what you and Huo Yalan said. If you just treated her as a stranger, you wouldn't waste so much time."
Huo Manshu always said that she had a cold nature, but in Qu Lian's view, Huo Manshu was very humane and always had her own way of doing things.
"Maybe."
Huo Manshu didn't admit or deny it. She sat by the window and looked at the lights outside without knowing what she was thinking of. Her expression was a little confused.
That night, Homanshu had a long-awaited dream.
In her dream, she returned to ten years ago. The room full of dolls and toys suddenly came to life, with ferocious smiles on their faces, and their giggles were particularly terrifying.
Huo Manshu, who was still a child, huddled in the quilt in fear and shivered.
She didn't dare to make a sound, her ears were raised high to listen to the movements of the dolls.
In the darkness where she couldn't see her fingers, her heart was beating violently, and she was almost suffocated and dared not breathe. The young Huo Manshu grabbed the quilt tightly with both hands, praying helplessly in her heart that the dolls would not find her.
The chirping laughter continued to expand in Homanshu's ears.
The quilt fell lightly on her face, and Homanshu opened her eyes in horror and met a pair of empty eyes.
"Found you."
The eerie voice of the humanoid doll sounded, the corner of its mouth grinned almost to the back of the ear, and it held a sharp knife in its hand to slit Homanshu's neck.
Homanshu could even clearly feel the pain of cutting her skin.
Her strong desire to survive made Homanshu push the doll away.
She stumbled out of bed and ran to the corridor crying for help.
But to his despair, he discovered that the corridor was also full of humanoid dolls.
After hearing Homanshu's call, almost all the dolls turned their heads 360 degrees and stared at Homanshu with their glass bead-like eyes that reflected light.
Homanshu covered her mouth reflexively, and tears flowed down involuntarily.
She was scared, she was too scared.
That night, Homanshu kept running, but no matter where she ran, there were dolls everywhere. Those dolls occupied the house, with knives in their hands. The servants in the house had their eyes wide open. He was lying on the ground with his eyes open, blood staining the floor.
Huo Manshu's bare feet were already sticky to the touch.
"Help, can anyone help me? Dad, mom, Yalan"
Huo Manshu whimpered, hugged herself into a ball and huddled in the corner, shivering, her eyes filled with tears of fear.
Everywhere the moonlight shines is littered with corpses.
Looking at the corpses there, Homanshu woke up suddenly.
He sat up immediately.
He bumped into Qu Lian, who was lowering his head to call Huo Manshu.
Qu Lian covered his head and fell to the ground with a grin on his face.
"Manshu, are you okay?"
Qu Lian just rubbed his head roughly and quickly stood up again to ask Homanshu worriedly.
"You just shouted very loudly."
Qu Lian was sleeping well when he suddenly heard Huo Manshu's painful moans.
He knew that Huo Manshu was trapped, but she couldn't wake up no matter how he called her. "It was just a dream."
The terrifying scene in the dream was still replaying in Huo Manshu's mind.
"Did you dream about the home invasion and murder ten years ago?"
Seeing Huo Manshu staring at him without blinking, Qu Lian opened his mouth to explain, "I learned a little bit about your past online."
He just felt that he knew too little about Huo Manshu, so he tried to find out more on the Internet, but unexpectedly, he saw an old news from ten years ago.
[A burglary and murder case occurred in the Huo family of real estate tycoon. The Huo couple took their young daughter camping and narrowly escaped. The eldest daughter Huo Manshu, who was left alone at home, became the only survivor of the burglary and murder case. 】
"I just heard you shouting for help."
Qu Lian was a little surprised that Huo Manshu still had such a fragile side.
"I haven't dreamed about that for a long time, maybe because I'm back."
Huo Manshu's mood has calmed down.
The burglary a decade ago was no secret.
But that's not the truth.
"Ten years ago, there was not a burglary, but those people were killed by humanoid dolls."
Huo Manshu corrected Qu Lian's statement, "No one believed me. Everyone thought I was shocked and insane."
Because in people's minds, dolls are just dolls, inanimate individuals, and there can be no bizarre murders.
"What happened next? How did you survive?"
According to reports at the time, the situation at that time should have been very tragic. "Where did those dolls go?"
Qu Lian always felt that something crucial was missing from what Ho Manshu said.
If those dolls still existed, perhaps Homanshu's words might be believed.
"I killed those dolls."
Huo Manshu looked at Qu Lian calmly: "They are as if they are alive. They will bleed when they are injured. There were nearly fifty dolls that day, and I killed them all."
Huo Manshu's eyes were a little indifferent: "In fact, after a real confrontation, you will find that those horrible things are just like paper tigers. Although the humanoid dolls have turned into people, their strength is not as strong as imagined."
Those servants who were killed were actually killed by fear. The fear in their hearts made them give up resistance.
If they could have resisted at that time, perhaps no one would have died that day.
From that day on, Huo Manshu completely hated humanoid dolls. Every touch reminded her of the bleeding doll that day.
Huo Manshu didn't go into details about the scene at that time, but Qu even got goosebumps.
A child who is just over ten years old.
He couldn't imagine how Huo Manshu felt watching a bleeding doll die.
"It's okay, it's all over." Qu Lian hugged Huo Manshu and comforted her softly.
Although Huo Manshu felt that this comfort was a bit unnecessary, she did not push Qu Lian away.
After all, Qu Lian was expressing goodwill to her.
From the day Huo Manshu killed those dolls, some things had completely changed.
What happened that day wiped out the last bit of sincerity from Huo Manshu.
Both Huo Manshu and Qu Lian made a tacit agreement not to mention this matter again.
After a while to wash up and get up, a servant came to ask Huo Manshu to eat.
"Miss Manshu, my wife and Miss Yalan are all waiting for you."
