Chapter 56: Rescuing Martin
After negotiating the commission price, William followed the couple to the neighborhood where Rebecca's mother lived.
"Ms. Rebecca, please call your mother and ask your brother to answer the phone."
Just before arriving, William suddenly spoke.
"Act naturally; find an excuse to make Martin leave the house alone."
Rebecca didn't quite understand for a moment.
"Honey, this is to prevent the evil spirit from holding Martin hostage." Bret explained from the side.
William wanted to give him a thumbs up upon hearing this!
He remembered that in the original work, this boyfriend was a rare character with online IQ.
This was a rarity in American horror stories.
If everyone had this awareness, many evil spirits and demons would have cried themselves to death in the toilet long ago.
"That's right, this is also to protect your brother."
William echoed from the side.
In the original work, this evil spirit named Diana used Rebecca's mother as a link to appear in the human world.
So it wouldn't hurt the mother.
Later, if they appeared outside the house and the evil spirit suddenly attacked, it would add a lot of trouble.
Rebecca nodded and took out her phone from her pocket.
At this time, Sophie's house.
"No, you said you wouldn't hurt my daughter!"
Sophie looked pleading, muttering to herself facing the corner in the darkness.
"I stopped the medication as you requested; you can't break your promise!"
At this time, the phone rang in the room.
Ring... ring...
Sophie was startled. She looked at the corner, then went to the living room a moment later.
Behind her, a black shadow with twisted limbs followed her footsteps.
"Hel... lo?"
"Mom, it's Rebecca."
Hearing her relative's voice, Sophie felt much better.
"Rebecca, did you... sleep well last night?"
Sophie wanted to ask if her daughter was safe, but was afraid of angering the presence beside her.
Inside the car.
The phone was on speaker; William signaled to proceed according to the plan.
Rebecca considered for a moment and said: "Not bad, just had some nightmares."
She continued immediately:
"Is Martin there? His school teacher contacted me, saying he forgot to take something."
"I... I'll call him."
After listening to her daughter, Sophie paused for a moment, but quickly recovered.
She knew her son.
Martin had a good memory and never forgot things.
So Sophie realized something.
She tried to calm herself down, put down the receiver, and walked to the bedroom.
But what Sophie didn't know was that the slight emotional fluctuation just now had been noticed by Diana.
"Martin, your sister is calling for you."
Sophie knocked on the door, then walked quickly to her own bedroom door, trying to keep the thing behind her away from her son.
"Okay."
Martin walked out of the room and saw his mother hiding in the shadows.
He was a little scared, so he ran downstairs quickly.
"Hello, Rebecca?"
"Martin, act naturally and listen carefully to what I say next." Rebecca lowered her voice.
Recalling the strange things encountered these days, Martin guessed some of it.
His heart beat faster, but he still tried to control his voice: "Okay, go ahead."
"After putting down the phone later, find an excuse to leave the house. Don't look back all the way. I'll wait for you by the roadside."
Martin's fingers trembled slightly: "Okay, what about Mom?"
He was thinking about how to quietly call his mother along.
"Come out alone, Mom..."
Speaking of this, Rebecca glanced at William, who gave her a reassuring look.
"Don't worry about Mom; she'll be fine."
Martin opened his mouth, but finally chose to trust his sister.
Hanging up the phone, he looked in the direction of the bedroom.
"Mom, Sis asked me to go to her."
"Go ahead."
Sophie responded almost immediately.
At the same time, the temperature in the room suddenly dropped.
The range of lighting became smaller and smaller, and there was an oppressive atmosphere in the darkness.
Martin took a deep breath, then walked step by step toward the door.
Shoes stepped on the wooden floor, making a slight creaking sound.
But there seemed to be two such sounds.
Martin tried to choose a position closer to the light.
Ten seconds.
Twenty seconds.
The path that usually took a few seconds, Martin took a full thirty seconds this time.
Fortunately, he finally arrived at the door.
Martin gently turned the doorknob.
Click.
The door opened.
At this time, a lot of sweat oozed from Martin's back. He wanted to open the door and rush out immediately.
But he still tried his best to control himself.
At this time, less than a meter behind Martin.
Diana stood quietly here.
It slowly raised its hand.
Bang.
Martin closed the door.
At this time, he could no longer suppress the fear in his heart and ran forward like crazy.
"Martin!"
Hearing someone call his name, Martin looked up.
He saw a car parked on the side of the road, and his sister got out of the passenger seat, waving at him.
Martin breathed a sigh of relief and waved back.
"Rebecca!"
He was about to run over.
"Martin? I'm here. Who are you talking to?"
At this time, another voice sounded beside him.
Martin was startled inside.
He turned his head and saw Rebecca standing under the eaves of the house, looking at him confusedly.
Martin's heart sank instantly.
If the one beside him was Rebecca, then who was the one getting out of the car?
His heart beat fast, and he turned his head slowly.
He saw a figure standing by the roadside, with twisted limbs and an unclear face.
"Martin! Come here quickly!"
The figure shouted, its voice sounding hoarse and cold.
Martin's feet retreated unconsciously.
"Martin! Don't go back!"
It actually rushed toward the house.
Martin was completely panicked; he ran to "Rebecca" beside him and grabbed her arm tightly.
But immediately after, he only felt that the thing he grabbed was cold and rough.
Martin turned his head, but saw an arm unlike a living person's.
He swallowed, trembling all over as he looked up.
In the next second.
Rebecca's face turned into the monster by the roadside.
"Ahhh..."
Martin shouted and wanted to escape, but was locked tightly by that hand.
Just like this, he was dragged back to the front door.
When the real Rebecca arrived, her brother's lower body had been dragged into the house, leaving only his hands clinging to the door frame.
"Sister, save me."
Martin's eyes were full of despair.
In the next second, he was completely dragged into the darkness.
Bang!
The door also slammed shut.
"No!"
Rebecca knelt on the lawn, tears streaming down her face uncontrollably.
Bret ran over quickly, pulling her away from the house.
At this time, William appeared from the roadside.
He pushed a small cart with some large floodlights on it.
Just now, after arriving at Sophie's house, William asked Rebecca to pick up Martin first.
He himself went around the neighborhood, partly to confirm that the neighbors were fine.
On the other hand, for the exorcism later, he borrowed some things from the neighbors.
Bret comforted Rebecca and told William what happened just now.
The latter raised an eyebrow upon hearing this.
"Good guy, daring to play mind games in front of me."
William immediately greeted Bret to help connect the floodlights to the power supply.
He himself went around the house and completed all the necessary arrangements.
During the period, Diana stood in the shadow by the window, staring at William's every move.
At this time, it waved its hand forcefully.
Snap... snap...
Most of the power in Sophie's house was cut off.
Desk lamp cords and telephone lines were also broken.
Only a light in the living room remained on.
Sophie shrank under the weak light, holding the unconscious Martin in her arms.
Diana disappeared into the darkness, waiting for the people outside to enter.
...
Zzz... zzz...
William patted the megaphone in his hand, which was also borrowed from next door.
"Testing, testing."
He toggled the button again, and this time the sound finally came out.
William walked onto the lawn and pointed the megaphone at the house.
"Listen up, evil spirit inside! You are surrounded!"
