Chapter 154 The truth behind
"... According to the archives, Mary Xiao once raised a child, but the child disappeared after she was hospitalized due to gas poisoning. Because no one except anyone knows the child's appearance, the loss case ended up in the end..."
Washington, BSI Headquarters.
Angela looked at the federal and local media tabloids about the reports recorded in the accident that year and said to BSI and others in front of her.
"Maybe the gas poisoning that year was not an accident."
With his arms tied with wooden boards hanging around his neck, Agent Zhou heard Angela's report and then spoke.
"After killing her child, Mary Xiao planned to commit suicide due to crime, but was later rescued."
"Maybe, it's not fear of sin."
He picked up the teacup in his hand and took a sip. Spike corrected it.
"Mary Shaw planned to die with him from the very beginning after killing the child."
“But, why?”
Hearing Spike's words, Agent Phil showed a puzzled expression on his face.
Compared with Agent Zhou, his injuries were pretty good. Although he was wearing straps, he was basically just skin trauma.
"Maybe it's out of despair..."
He reached out and took out a wrinkled old photo from his pocket and handed it to everyone in front of BSI.
In the photo, it can be clearly seen that a woman is standing in front of a huge building that looks like a circus tent, holding a deformed boy in her arms, tightly holding a rough-working puppet toy in the boy's hands.
"In that society at that time, I was not friendly to deformed children. Although Mary Xiao moved to the suburbs with her children, the day after day life accompanied the continuous growth of the children. This despair not only did not relieve but became heavier..."
Recalling the video clips he saw under the tree, Spike pieced together: "Finally, in despair, Mary Shaw decided to kill the child to end his pain in this world, and then commit suicide again was rescued by someone by chance, and finally left the wooden house. In the next twenty years, Mary Shaw's past became a nursery rhyme, which eventually attracted a group of curious people. Under their soul-summoning ceremony, the dead spirits were summoned... "
Also as a woman, Angela, after listening to Spike's description of Mary Shaw's past, looked down at the child with a deformed head in the photo. She could imagine the despair in Mary Shaw at that time.
"So, Mary Shaw and her children are actually victims."
"victim?"
Hearing Angela's slightly sympathetic tone, Agent Phil couldn't help but retort: "If you see everything happening in the wooden house, you won't think so."
"That's because of the soul-receiving ceremony. Without the soul-receiving of those people, Mary Shaw's dead children would not have come to reality."
"Now that group of people have also received the punishment they deserve."
After coming out of the BSI chief’s office, Amanda heard the conversation between several people and then spoke.
"Is there really no way to get them back?"
As he spoke, Amanda turned his head and looked at Spike who was sitting aside and drinking tea quietly, and couldn't help asking.
"No."
Faced with Amanda's inquiry, Spike put down the teacup in his hand and shook his head gently.
"They were eroded too deeply by the power of curses, and their entire bodies had been completely transformed into puppets."
Previously, after digging out the puppet's sustenance under the tree, Amanda ignited the fire without hesitation and burned everything, including the corpse.
With the destruction of the corpse, the strange possession lost its sustenance.
The missing persons under control, as well as FBI agents and New York City police, have recovered.
In addition to Jamie and others who were filming the soul-summoning video at the beginning, they were eroded too deeply by the power of the curse, and they completely became puppets and lost the possibility of becoming human again.
Amanda had a headache when she heard Spike's recovery.
There are five puppets out of thin air. For BSI, it not only needs to deal with the families of these people, but also needs to think about how to place these puppets. Although it seems that there is no difference from puppets, they are transformed from people after all, involving supernatural powers. BSI cannot handle them casually.
"It seems that next, I need to write more than one report."
After rubbing his head that was painful for some reason, Amanda looked at the BSI people in front of him and said with a cold face.
"Not only me, you who participate in the action this time also need to write a report."
Hearing Amanda's words, the expression on Agent Phil's face immediately became bitter.
He turned his head and looked at the agent Zhou on the side, but the latter said expressionlessly: "Don't look at me, my hand is injured."
Hearing Agent Zhou's words, Agent Phil twitched his mouth and looked at Spike on the side again.
He lowered his head and took a sip of hot tea. Spike replied indifferently: "I am just a BSI consultant and don't need to write a report."
After two consecutive blows, Agent Phil could only turn his eyes to the last hope. However, when facing his eyes, Angela shrugged and said with an incomprehensible expression: "I am only responsible for assistance, so it is not considered in the formal operation."
"Please, no, but in the end I'm the only one who wants to write a report."
"In fact, it's not just you, I'm with you."
Hearing Agent Phil's cry of despair, Amanda suppressed his smile and issued a reminder of "kindness".
"Boss..."
In the group office, just as the two of them were talking.
Angela looked down at the photo Spike found and couldn't help asking Amanda.
"So, will we arrest Mary Shaw for the murder of her own children."
In theory, Angela knew that everything Mary Xiao did should be punished as she deserved. She thought of Mary Xiao’s inner despair when she did all this, and then committed suicide. Angela couldn’t help but feel a little pity in her heart.
“…”
In the entire office, as Angela asked, the atmosphere calmed down.
Agent Zhou and Agent Phil turned their eyes to Angela in front of them, and Spike also stopped drinking tea in his hands and looked at her.
Hearing the inquiry from his subordinate agent Angela, Amanda looked down at the photo on the table.
As a participant who dug up the body at that time, she knew better than Angela's appearance when the child died. The other party's body was curled up in a bag, and there was only a broken toy puppet beside her.
Retracting his gaze, Amanda looked at Agent Angela in front of him and gave his own answer.
"It is the responsibility of the FBI and the New York Police Department to investigate the murder case. BSI is only responsible for the investigation of supernatural cases..."
